Chapter 70: Zhou Zhenwei's Betrothal (2)

There was no one else in the room, the eldest lady Wang was spreading out the water-red silk handkerchief and looked closely, not wanting Zhou Zhenwei to push the door in, so she put it down for a while, and she didn't take it, so she simply looked at him with a smile.

"I don't know why my aunt is here late at night?" Zhou Zhenwei asked lightly, made a gesture, and by the way, without a trace, retrieved the handkerchief from her hand, turned around and rested it on the pillow.

Wang was a little embarrassed, found a chair and sat down and said, "When I was waiting for you, I helped you clean up the house by the way, and I saw this, I don't know which girl it is?" ”

Seeing that he didn't want to answer, he couldn't help but ask: "Or do I recognize it too?" ”

Zhou Zhenwei remembered the dispute over durian incense and the grain buying incident, and couldn't help but say vaguely: "There are some origins!" ”

Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Uncle has been going out early and returning late late, and he can't see anyone, but the old lady misses you very much, and she thinks about it every day, come and accompany the old lady to have breakfast tomorrow morning before leaving!" She has something to say to you. ”

Zhou Zhenwei suddenly felt guilty, and hurriedly agreed, late at night, Wang greeted each other and went out.

Take off his robe, go to the bath room to wash with the water sent by the little maid, wait for him to lie on the pillow with his head refreshed, but there is no sleepiness for a while, pondering for a while, he pinched the two ends of the red handkerchief with his hands, high in front of him, squinting his eyes and taking a closer look, speaking of this handkerchief plain noodles, Xiao Qiaoer has never woven a flower or plant on it, or embroidered a double big mandarin duck or something, but he somehow, just don't see enough, the more he looks, the more happy.

After looking at it for a while, he saw that something was strange, a carp sat up, he put the veil in front of him, and embroidered a small line of poetry at the corner of the needle eye socket: "In heaven is willing to be a winged bird."

Shouldn't there be another sentence, willing to be a branch on the ground? He patiently searched back and forth, left and right, and corners, but he couldn't find it anymore!

Zhou Zhenwei was thoughtful in the end, and after a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, this cunning jade-faced little fox!

This is to make him read it every time, and he will secretly chant the next sentence in his heart!

He lay down again, covering his face with a handkerchief, these days, the faint sweet fragrance on the handkerchief still lingers, and thinking that this is in the girl's tender palm, he feels that this face is a handkerchief, it is clearly the girl's soft and soft hand caressing herself! Suddenly, the heart seemed to be tickled and crispy, and it was hot and numb.

Everything was silent, I don't know when there was a heavy wheezing overflow, and at this moment, Zhou Zhenwei gritted his teeth and made up his mind, he couldn't rely on that little Qiao'er's temperament, he had to find a way to marry back as soon as possible!

Early in the morning, the eldest lady was helping to comb the old lady's hair, her silver hair was tied in a bun, and she wiped her forehead with a garcinia yellow plum magpie inlaid with rubies, so she watched Zhou Zhenwei lift the curtain and enter the house, she made a look and asked him to wait at the table.

Zhulan and other maids successively set the plate on the table, and after a while, the old lady also came to the table with the support of the eldest lady, Zhou Zhenwei hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and sat beside her.

"It's rare for Zhenwei to come to the old lady's room to eat, and now the old lady is happy, but she can eat half a bowl more!" The eldest lady said with a smile.

The old lady looked at the table again, all of them were soft and rotten food with their own appetite, a pot of fragrant rice sweet porridge, a plate of candied date yellow cake, and the dishes were also salt-fried hemp curd, mushrooms and the like, very light, only felt that there was nothing to eat, thought about it, and called Zhulan to come forward and said: "Go get a wild boar smoked sausage, cut it into a circle and steam it, see the oil, and then warm the pot of wine!" ”

Zhou Zhenwei hurriedly smiled and stopped: "Grandmother, I still have to be tolerant, don't eat alcohol!" ”

The old lady looked at him and smiled: "Look at my memory, or get some rice wine to eat!" ”

She was a little sentimental: "Back then, your father was a good drinker, and he loved three meals a day and ate two bowls of wine with smoked sausages, which was very comfortable!" ”

The eldest lady smiled reluctantly: "What's wrong with the old lady!" You look forward to Zhenwei coming every day, and here you come, you mention some sad things! Who will dare to come to see you in the future! ”

"Blame me, blame me, I'm confused, isn't it! Zhenwei doesn't please his daughter-in-law for a day, I'm not comfortable, so I think more! As soon as the old lady's words came out, Zhou Zhenwei pulled the corners of his mouth, and he knew that it was not easy to eat this meal!

The eldest lady looked at him and said: "A few days ago, you were not in the house, but General Cao came here, firstly, on that day, his girl threw you with a whip, saying that the girl was reprimanded at home, thinking about it, it is better to come to accompany the old lady; The second is that although the girl in his family is anxious, she is not bad, and everyone who knows her praises her as a bodhisattva, and the third is that he once agreed with your father in the old year that he would marry his children and daughters, and now he is urging us to go to the door. I don't know what to do? ”

The old lady shook his head and frowned and said: "Hearing him say this, I know that the girl is a wild person who burns at a moment's notice, and Zhenwei is also a stubborn and stubborn person. ”

The eldest lady nodded and smiled: "But General Cao made it clear that marrying a girl from his family is a family, and he will naturally spare no effort to help each other in the future of Zhenwei's career!" ”

As he was talking, Zhulan opened the curtain and came in, put a plate of hot oil-stained smoked sausage with a silver pot of rice wine, put it in front of Zhou Zhenwei's eyes, and poured a small white porcelain bowl for the old lady and the eldest lady.

Only then did he put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice: "Zhenwei has no feelings for that Miss Cao, I think she has no intention of me, it's just General Cao's wishful thinking!" I'm afraid that the so-called agreement with my father back then was also a casual conversation between laughter, and it couldn't be true! ”

He turned to look at the old lady and said softly: "Grandmother, rest assured, since I can be a military general, why am I afraid that this civil official will not have a bright future?" The grandson does not rely on the relationship nepotism to be promoted to the rank of knight, and he disdains it! ”

The old lady looked at him happily and worriedly, and sighed silently for a while: "Have a temper with your father!" Back then, he was also unwilling to bend half of his head, although it was good, he worked very hard! ”

The eldest lady looked at the old lady's sadness, looked at Zhou Zhenwei and smiled, and said, "I know that you have a girl you like, so I will propose it to you, are you willing?" ”

Zhou Zhenwei knew that it was all because of the eldest lady, and she caught a glimpse of the red veil last night, so she only joked with herself, so she also smiled: "The eldest aunt just goes, I'm afraid that people won't want to!" Closed doors for you to eat. ”
