Chapter 6: Greetings (1)
Before going to bed, Zhou Xiaofu called Lan's mother to come in and knock on the side to check the general situation at home. The current situation of the Zhou Mansion. The biggest boss of the Zhou Mansion is the old man Zhou, the second son of the Zhou clan, Zhou Yaozu, three out of fifty this year is relatively young, and the ancient people got married relatively early, so the old man Zhou also has three sons and two daughters.
The grandfather of the original owner, Zhou Yao, was an official to the Ministry of Works, a member of the third grade, second only to the prime minister and the six books, which is equivalent to the position of deputy minister in modern terms, that is to say, Zhou Xiaofu and their generation are the third generation of officials. According to the memory of the original owner, this grandfather Zhou Yaozu is very dignified and rarely cares about the affairs of the backyard, and rarely talks to their juniors, and the grandmother of the original owner is the one who sees the most.
Speaking of the original owner's grandmother, she is also a very key figure, because she is the aunt of her stepmother Ye Xinlan, no wonder their brother and sister were bullied, and no one dared to say that they were fattened and wasted.
The whole courtyard lives in a three-room family, the original owner of the big house Uncle Zhou Lanjing, thirty-eight years old, the eldest brother of the original owner's father, an official who is released, from the five products, the history of the thorn, equivalent to the mayor of a medium-sized city now, has real power, and now takes two concubines to take office in the opening of the mansion, and will only come back every year during the Chinese New Year. The head of the entire Zhou Mansion is the uncle's wife He, who is the eldest daughter of the He family in the capital, and this He aunt is the emperor's concubine.
He has two sons and a daughter, which can be said to have both children and daughters, and he has a lot of status and voice in the Zhou Mansion. He's two sons, Zhou Xiaohao 18 and Zhou Xiaoxuan, 11 years old, both live in the outer courtyard, which is rare. The youngest daughter Zhou Xiaoxi is 15 years old and is the eldest granddaughter of the Zhou Mansion, and the sisters of the Zhou Mansion call her the eldest sister.
The third uncle in the memory, Zhou Lanxiu, is thirty-five years old, the third son, who is quite a bit of an immortal, works in the ministry, five products, and is responsible for the assessment and promotion of officials, which is a fat shortage. But his wife is Ma, and this Ma's memory in the original owner is extremely unworthy of the third uncle, an immortal picker, because he speaks without brains, and only cares about immediate interests. Ma gave birth to two daughters and twins, Zhou Xiaolan and Zhou Xiaobin, both thirteen years old, ranking second sister and third sister.
Next, let's talk about the father of the original owner, line two, named Zhou Lanqing, Chinese New Year's Eve three years old today, working in the Ministry of Rites, Zheng Liupin, working in the Ministry of Rites, in charge of etiquette and learning, to put it bluntly, it is an idle job, but Zhou Lanqing is the most educated of the three sons, that is, the highest ranking in the scientific examination, and he was born in the list.
After Lan's mother finished speaking, she settled down for a long time, and then told Zhou Xiaofu that tomorrow was the first morning of the new year to go to the old lady to ask for peace, because the old lady suspected that people were running to her every day to disturb her Buddha worship, so she asked everyone to come over on the first and fifteenth days of the month to say goodbye, and then use dinner together.
After sending Lan's mother away, Zhou Xiaofu sent away the little maid who kept vigil, closed the door and sat quietly on the bed and thought about it, now in this situation, it is impossible for him to continue to cultivate under the supervision of so many people without being discovered, so he can only find a way to go out for a month recently, and come back after strengthening his body once, but now it is ancient times, the girls in this era are all raised in deep houses, and they basically don't go out much if they don't get married. Even if they buy jewelry, they are all served by the housekeeper of the silver building, and the large and small plates are served to them; Then there is the incense, but the incense will stay for a night or two at most, which is not enough.
There is no way to go out for the time being, so I can only find a way to go out recently. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, Zhou Xiaofu is always very optimistic when encountering things with this kind of character.
After letting go of the things that could not be solved temporarily, Zhou Xiaofu sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced, first of all, she had to familiarize herself with the breathing method of her previous life, speaking of which, this breathing method was taught to her by a partner of Zhou Xiaofu in the last days, this breathing method can make all the veins in the body unblocked, without blockage, so that the tibia is soft, and the cultivation of physical skills or mental power in the later stage is very fast, which is equivalent to a big warm-up before exercise.
After running three cycles of breathing in a row, Zhou Xiaofu felt that this fat body seemed to be much lighter, before practicing, Zhou Xiaofu took out the Tissot watch in the space and picked out the approximate time, that is, it is now four o'clock in the middle of the night, because the practice of this breathing method has a better repair for the body, so Zhou Xiaofu does not feel sleepy and tired at all. I packed up my things and lay down.
It wasn't until five o'clock in the morning that I was woken up by Mother Lan coming in lightly, God, how early does it take to say hello. The women of ancient times were either asking for peace or on the way to say goodbye.
After getting up and washing, Zhou Xiaofu still asked Zhou's mother to find herself simple and elegant clothes, and then drank warm honey water and ate an apple before leaving. Today, Zhou Xiaofu wore jewelry on her head, that is, the hairpins and bracelets that were exchanged for wear, all of which were defective.
After cleaning up, the modern time looked like 6:40, and the hardship was worse than when I went to school, so I went out with the two big girls of Lan's mother.
The Boxin courtyard where the old lady lives is a two-entry courtyard on the left side of the Zhou Mansion, but the inside is much larger than Zhou Xiaofu, at least the house is big, the entire backyard is a garden, and there is a jar of lotus flowers, the whole yard is indulged in the fragrance of flowers, although it is not as good as other big gardens, but it is also very tasteful. On the right side of the courtyard, where Mrs. Zhou built a small Buddhist hall.
When Zhou Xiaofu came, she met two twin girls who looked exactly the same at the gate of the courtyard who were just about to enter the door, looking only thirteen or fourteen years old, one of them wore a light green skirt, and the other wore an aqua blue skirt, both of them simply wore a white hosta and a white jade bracelet, but it seems that this white jade is of the highest grade, and I think these two are the two twins of the third uncle's family.
Zhou Xiaofu walked forward and gently bent down to say goodbye: "Good morning, second sister and third sister"
Zhou Xiaolan raised her delicate eyebrows and glanced at Zhou Xiaofu, today's dress is very different, very elegant, not like the usual ugly people. Then Zhou Xiaolan gently touched Zhou Xiaobin with his left hand, and the two of them put together a smile and said, "Fourth sister, you also have good morning." ”
Zhou Xiaolan took a step forward and asked, "Fourth sister, are you feeling better?" ”
Zhou Xiaofu paused deliberately, and then said with a little grievance: "I'm just frightened, I'm still having nightmares at night, everything else is fine, thank you for your concern." Mother Lan on the side saw Zhou Xiaofu's unknown appearance and thought that Zhou Xiaofu was really having a nightmare, and immediately tears came up, and asked with concern: "Fourth Miss, did you have a nightmare at night?" Why don't you tell the slave? ”
