"Miss, this morning I went to the house to inquire: Zhou's mother's family is a dead man, and there is only one girl left, who married into a merchant family in another place the year before last. When I got married, the cowhide blew loudly, saying that Mother Zhou was the first proud person before the old lady and her son, and this time the husband's family just got into trouble, no, the girl went to Beijing to ask for help. Qiu Ju first gave the news that Sister Hui had gone out to inquire about after Sister Hui left.

"Heh, I'll just say, Mother Zhou is not very bold, and she knows how to look at her face the most. I'm not living on the old lady now, and she dares to mess with her, because of this. Sister Hui smiled lightly and nodded.

"Yes, after that, the slave maid took advantage of you to go out, and she happened to be able to clean the house well, and called Zhou's mother to help. As you expected, as expected, Zhou's mother responded very happily. After that, he took advantage of the slave maid to go out to fetch water and rummage around. ”

"Found it for her?" Sister Hui'er's apricot eyes bloomed with a smile and asked.

"Well, you turned out the booklet that you put in the small box behind the bed after you made it overnight last night, and I'm afraid it's all at the old lady's place by now." Qiu Ju covered her mouth and smiled.

Sister Hui looked satisfied, and asked again, "What about the ink painting?" But it's all done in Zhou's mother's house? ”

"Yes, that note, while Zhou's mother was cleaning here, was put away by the ink painting. And after coming out, I met the girl from Zhou's mother's house, and the ink painting chatted with people. Qiu Ju also had a smile in her eyes, but she looked very proud.

"Oh? What did you nag about? Sister Hui thought about the eccentricity of ink painting, and she was also interested.

"She, I ran to tell the girl that the father of the third lady of our family is a big official, and her fiancé is the prince of Dingbei Hou, and you can solve her dilemma here, and you like to listen to some old things in the house the most." Qiu Ju looked at Sister Hui'er, her face was funny, but she couldn't stop laughing.

If the girl listened to the ink painting, she would definitely be looking for an opportunity to get to Sister Hui, and maybe she could get a little more information when the time came. When the old lady of Shoukangtang saw it, she was sure that she would be safe, and Zhou's mother was absolutely indispensable for the first meal.

"You guys! If this is the case, she may die in front of the old lady. Sister Hui also understands the meaning of ink painting, and can't help laughing.

Although Qiu Ju knew that if this thing was done, she was afraid that the old lady would be unlucky, but she didn't know how to do it. She didn't know what was in that booklet. Now I hear what Sister Hui said, it is actually a matter of life and death!

My heart was beating wildly, and I couldn't tell if I was scared or excited!

Sister Hui is now waiting for the old lady to take a look at her book, and she has nothing to do to write and paint, but she is also comfortable.

About four or five days later, at night, although the small Buddha hall in Shoukang Hall was brightly lit as usual, there was no familiar sound of wooden fish.

Because tonight, the old lady did not have an evening class, but just used this small Buddha hall to talk to her eldest son.

"Brother Zhang, this is your sister Jing who took Sister Hui out before, and Mother Zhou went to clean the house and took the opportunity to find it, you can take a look." The old lady took out a book that had been read several times from her cuff and handed it to Chu Jinzhang who was standing aside.

Chu Jinzhang had doubts on his face, took the book and flipped through it roughly, frowned and said, "This is just a collection of poems, what is there to see?" ”

The old lady smiled slightly, pointed to the book and said, "Look at it again." ”

Chu Jinzhang is a filial son, as soon as the old lady said it, she really looked at it patiently and carefully: "This paper is Lingshan Meigen paper, which is exclusively used by the royal family, could it be from the palace?" But it's not unusual, Sister Hui is the companion of the Seventh Princess, and it is possible to get this. ”

"At that time, Zhou's mother brought it, and I felt the same way. But Zhou's mother said that she found it in Sister Hui'er's small box that was well hidden. I have been looking at it for many days, but I have seen some doorways. ”

When Chu Jinzhang heard this, he couldn't help but take a good look at it again, slowly rubbing between his fingers, and the subtle touch at his fingertips "This book cover"

"Yes, the book cover looks very inconspicuous at first glance, but if you touch it closely, you will feel a little thicker than usual. Let's take a look at the doorway today. After speaking, he took out a knife from a box under the Buddha shrine and took the book again from Chu Jinzhang's hand.

The mother and son faced the candle flame and gently opened it according to the lines of the book's cover.

"Mother, there's something hidden here!" Chu Jinzhang couldn't help but shout softly

The mother and son pulled out the white paper with solemn faces.

"Blank paper!" Chu Jinzhang said with a frowning face.

The old lady looked at the candle flame for a long time, and when she looked horizontally and vertically, it was just an ordinary piece of Lingshan Megan paper, and nothing else.

The mother and son gradually showed disappointment on their faces.

"Mother, this"

"Mother Zhou, her girl's husband's family encountered some difficulties, and begged me to come here, so I asked her to keep an eye on Sister Hui'er for me, I was afraid that she was in a hurry to invite merit, so I found some things casually. I also mistrusted her, and you don't care about what she asked. The old lady waved impatiently.

"Mother, this matter is in a hurry, the eldest brother is dead in northern Xinjiang, and Sister Hui can't make waves with a girl. Brother Xuan will also rush you outside to fend for yourself, and the child will find someone to inquire about another day, maybe it will be useless at this time. Chu Jinzhang comforted while putting the paper into his cuffs.

The old lady sighed and said, "Brother Jing'er's marriage, when will it be done?" ”

This is the first time that the old lady asked about the marriage of her eldest son so calmly, Chu Jinzhang was overjoyed, and arched his hand: "The in-laws' side is a noble family, and Brother Jing is the eldest son, and the son has high hopes for him, so he thought about waiting for the spring of next year, Brother Jing will take the next exam, and then hold the wedding after the middle lift." ”

"It's okay, those who read the book value fame the most, and it's better for Brother Jing to come back from the exam. Although you have privately appointed that parent, but the girl of that family, you ask your daughter-in-law to arrange a time, and I will meet you, and I will go underground in the future to tell your father. The old lady's words are soft to the end.

How can Chu Jinzhang not be happy, even if he is happy.

Although Chu Jinzhang said that he was played an oolong, because his mother forgave him for cutting first and then playing, he was in a good mood, and he went back to the study all the way.

As soon as he put the book in the cuff in the drawer under the desk, he saw Qiao Shi push the door in.

"Master Hou, the concubine made some snow clam soup, do you want to use some?" Qiao Shi walked behind Chu Jinzhang as he entered the door, and waved his hand to let the maid put out the utensils.

Chu Jinzhang already had something to say to Qiao's family, so he turned around and nodded: "Madame is hard, let's use some together." ”

Because of the quarrel between the two before, Chu Jinzhang ignored her for a long time, and those restless things in the yard began to jump, plus she couldn't be so stiff, which was not good for her children. Therefore, he deliberately made this snow clam soup to seek peace. Originally, I was apprehensive, but I never thought it would go so smoothly.

"Master Hou, please." Women are always more innocent than men, and since Chu Jinzhang gave her face like this, she also smiled, and handed him a bowl of soup with her own hands.

"The lady also sat together, and the husband happened to have something to say." Chu Jinzhang pointed to the chair in front of him and said.

(Don't panic, fellow friends, the mystery on that piece of paper will be penetrated!) Welcome to collect it, Momoda~~)
