The wooden hairpin was lost and recovered, and the good treasure was overjoyed, and held it tightly in his hand, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it.

Grandpa glanced at her hands and was red from the cold, and her face was already purple and blue, her hair was covered with long, short, thick and thin ice skates, her butterfly-like eyelashes were also shiny with ice and snow, and her clothes were full of mud.

"Is this so important to you?" He asked, dumbfounded.

Shanbao nodded, his heart was sour, choked up and couldn't speak, solemnly put the wooden hairpin into the brocade bag around his waist, and decided to only treasure it from now on and no longer wear it, listen to him ask, although he feels that they are not so familiar with each other, it is redundant to ask, and he thinks about him to make his treasure lost and recovered, and replied: "Leave a thought, I am afraid that I will not be able to see it in this life and the next life." ”

After speaking, he put his hand on Li Qingzhao's hand and stood up, and only then did he want to leave, when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where did you find it?" ”

Of course, Zu Gongluo couldn't tell the truth, so he said: "In the bookstore, the facts of this thing are inconspicuous, so Fu Bo didn't find it when he cleaned it." ”

Shanbao believed it and said thank you.

Grandpa slightly shouted to Mengzi: "Let Fu Bo set the car, the road is slippery when it's dark, and you can send the good girl back." ”

Mengzi went to do so, and Zugong took out his mount from the stable behind the bookstore, and returned to the ancestral compound in the wind and snow.

He still entered the house through the west door, handed over the horse to the servant on duty, and went directly to the upper room, and saw that the light in his father's room was still on, and wanted to talk about the marriage on the sixth day of the next month, what to talk about? Make up your mind - get out of the marriage.

entered the second gate, but was blocked by the big girl Mingzhu: "The master is not feeling well today, he has rested, the second young master has something to do, let's come tomorrow." ”

Zu Gong said slightly: "Just a few words." He kept talking.

Mingzhu ran in front of him and hurriedly said, "Miss Qin is here." ”

The implication of the words is that the grandfather slightly understands that the things in the room are not respectful, and at this time, the laughter of Qin'er came from the scene, and the grandfather frowned slightly, turned around and went back to his yard, stomped under the eaves of the door, and stomped off the ice and snow on his feet.

The maids and mothers in the room have already heard, as soon as the door opened, several people came out, each of them asked him how he was good, but Liuli looked different, quietly waited for him to change clothes and shoes, finished washing, asked him if he had eaten, I heard that he ate, tea and fruit were served, and I knew that the second young master had the habit of reading books before going to bed.

Everything was ready, and Liuli let the maids and women rest and rest on duty for the night, and they all stopped, and there were only two of her and Zugong left in the room, and they suddenly knelt in front of the kang.

Grandpa sat cross-legged slightly, Fang picked up the tea cup on the kang table, Liuli's behavior made him inexplicable, and smiled: "Did you do something wrong?" ”

Liuli knelt straight, but her head hung very low: "The second young master's eyes are like torches, and the slave maid made a big mistake." ”

Grandpa took a sip of the newly gifted Mengding given by King Ling, and said easily: "Hit the jade vase or ruin the authenticity of Yan Liu?" ”

Liuli shook her head: "Over there, the slave has always been very careful. ”

Zu Gongluo's eyes did not leave the tea cup, and said: "That is to violate my rules, you can't talk nonsense." ”

Liuli began to cry: "The slave deserves death, I saw Zuo'er in Aunt Qiao's room before, Sister Zuo'er said that she was sick, and it was an unsightly illness in her daughter's family, so she didn't dare to go to see Langzhong, because Sister Zo'er treated me well on weekdays, so I dared to tell her that the second young master's friend Shan Girl knew medical skills, and asked her to go to the good girl to take a look." ”

Zu Gong was slightly unhappy, and said: "I told you, just do your part, even if you are lazy, it doesn't matter, just don't talk too much, you are violating my rules, you have always acted properly, and it is the first offense, just don't take an example, just get up." ”

He has always been open-minded, and the rules are strict, so that the people around him both respect him and fear him.

Liuli couldn't afford it, and said: "Please punish the second young master, it's a big trouble, I don't think that Zuo'er told Aunt Qiao about the good girl, Aunt Qiao called me over at noon today, and asked me to take her to the good girl for diagnosis, the good girl has only been injured for a few days, and her body is not restful, how can she diagnose others, in addition, the good girl is not Langzhong, let's rush to disturb others, it is not appropriate." ”

Grandpa was silent for a while, staring at the teacup, Liuli didn't know what he was thinking, and he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move, and after a while, he heard Grandpa say in a deep voice: "If she insists on you going, you will say that I have another mission for you." ”

Liuli hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

Zu Gongluo waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”

Liuli got forgiven, got up and came out, checked everywhere, and there was no omission, before going back to his room to sleep.

I slept unsteadily all night, from the day she came to the second young master, she was cautious and diligent, and her grandfather was slightly happy, and she was promoted to a big girl in a few days, and she was in charge of dozens of people in the room, and made a mistake for the first time, although her grandfather did not punish or even scold, she felt guilty, so she got up at dawn and was busy with everything, and she did something wrong, so she could only make up for it with more diligence.

Liuli explained according to her grandfather, and said, "Unfortunately, the second young master said that he would give me an envoy later." ”

Zo'er was a little unhappy and said, "Our lady is waiting there." ”

Liuli smiled apologetically: "Trouble my sister to tell Aunt Qiao, let's do it another day." ”

Zuo'er raised her eyebrows: "Madame is all dressed neatly, but it's not good to say so without faith, you go and take a leave of absence from the second young master." ”

Liuli was embarrassed, and Zugong walked out of the room, turned a blind eye to Zuo'er, and shouted to Liuli: "Go." ”

Liuli waved at Zo'er and followed her grandfather.

Look at the path is to go up to the room, go to the atrium and meet the fierce son who returned from the bookstore, and when he saw his grandfather, he said: "She's fine, don't worry." ”

Who is she, Zu Gong knew a little, and did not squeak, and went straight to Zu Baishou's courtyard, and saw the soldiers guarding the two yamen at the second gate, and I didn't know what happened.

After entering the second gate, he called a small servant to come over and ask, and the little guy said, "Master Kong of Zhixian County is here." ”

As a rule, the reception of foreign guests, especially the people of the government, needs to be in the front hall, and Kong Mingliang can come to Zu Baishou's residence, which shows that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

Zu Gong settled in the local area, thinking about whether he wanted to go in, and finally made a decision and stepped into Zu Baishou's room.

At the outer door, the girl Xiaoju hurriedly went in to report to Mingzhu, and Mingzhu went in to report to Zu Baishou.

Zu Baishou and Zhixian Kong Mingliang sat as guests, and they were talking very happily, and when they heard that Zu Gongluo was coming, Kong Mingliang said: "The second son will be able to get a civil and military champion this time, and I will congratulate the general manager here." ”

Zu Baishou hurriedly returned the gift: "The blessing of Lord Confucius, we often come and go, the joy of my ancestor is the joy of Lord Confucius, and Zu will not say much about the rest." ”

Kong Mingliang smiled and understood each other.

Zu Gongluo had already walked in, first met Kong Mingliang, and then asked his father to say goodbye.

Zu Baishou said: "Master Kong personally came to our house, for such a sect, the emperor opened Enke, civil and military double test, you have to enter Beijing immediately." ”

Grandpa was a little surprised, and said, "Father is not ignorant, I have no interest in fame. ”

Zu Baishou pretended to be disgusted: "Seven-foot man, you should make contributions to the country, so you will not be in vain how many years you have studied hard in the cold window, and how many years you have been dancing when you smell chickens." ”

Zu Gongluo still wanted to say something, Kong Mingliang didn't want their father and son to worry about this matter when outsiders were beside him, and said goodbye with interest.

The father and son sent Kong Mingliang away and continued to argue about entering Beijing, the father had the father's intentions, the son had the son's thoughts, no one could convince anyone, and finally the topic went around to the marriage of the grandfather, he said extremely seriously: "I can't attend the wedding on the sixth day of the first month of next month." ”

The groom's official did not attend the wedding, which made it clear that he meant to withdraw from the marriage.

Zu Baishou was really angry, and slapped the kang table of rosewood: "Nonsense!" ”

After roaring, he got off the kang and walked around on the ground, and suddenly remembered what Zhu Laoliu reported to him, and said angrily: "You are a person with a marriage contract, and that Shanbao is the daughter of the boudoir, and you actually lived in the bookstore for a few days, and others thought you raised the outer room." ”

Zu Gong said lightly: "She is injured, it is not appropriate to move, it happened to be near the bookstore, so she recuperated in the bookstore." ”

Zu Baishou knew that he couldn't say that this son who was plain and cherished his words like gold, and how many times he quarreled about his marriage, he simply spread it out and said, even if it was a ruin, so he said: "Don't you know that the good treasure is the filling of the house that Zhu told me." ”

Zu Gongluo's heart felt like he had been hit by something, thinking about it, thinking about it, thinking about how to say it, and finally finding that it was not appropriate to say anything, so he could only say: "Dad, you are more than fifty, and Shanbao is only seventeen, do you think it is appropriate?" ”

Zu Baishou asked rhetorically: "Is seventeen very young, there are countless people who have married fourteen or five, and if you are old, do you want me to marry a widow?" ”
