In the next two days, because her stepmother Ye had just recovered from her illness, she was exempted from Zhou Xiaofu's invitation, and Zhou Xiaofu was also happy, so she stayed in the yard seriously and did not rush out. After settling down, Lan's mother went to the street to buy herself a few batches of cotton cloth, and when she came back, she simply drew a pattern and made her a few sports clothes, all of which were similar to modern yoga clothes, but they were relatively conservative.

Zhou Xiaofu put all kinds of plans on the agenda, first of all, I had to read some books to understand this dynasty, Zhou Xiaofu read, this original owner does not read, and the only two books in the house are the female ring and the Book of Filial Piety.

In the afternoon of this day (that is, at a quarter past three o'clock in the afternoon), Zhou Xiaofu took Cuihua to his father's study bottle of water, Zhou Xiaofu looked up at the plaque at the gate of the courtyard, the three words of dragon flying and phoenix dance, written very water, thinking that this cheap father is really quite cultural.

Entering the small courtyard, you can see that this is a courtyard wall climbing creeper, it is half of July, the creeper climbs unevenly on the wall and looks really a small courtyard is cool, there is a round stone table on the left side of the yard, four stone piers around, simple and interesting, it is a good place.

The main entrance of the study greeted a little guy in his twenties, saying that it was a small guy but the book was full of anger, and the person was white, but the expression was not pleasant.

This is the cheap father's little maid Qingzhu, if you look at the name of other people's little maids, they are all plants, but their maids are called Cuihua......

Qingzhu frowned and bent down and saluted: "Fourth Miss, the second master is studying in the study, so you can't disturb it." ”

Hey, it seems that the original owner really has no status in this family, and even a little guy looks impatient with her.

Zhou Xiaofu didn't pay attention to Qingzhu, but carefully looked at the couplet posted at the door of the study, the upper couplet was: half a window, a few pavilions, a few Qiankun, and the lower couplet was: a cup of tea, two books, and three thousand splendid pens. The horizontal batch is: the sun and the moon are hidden. is very atmospheric, Zhou Xiaofu has to praise this cheap father.

Zhou Xiaofu smiled after reading it, and said to Qingzhu this time: "Qingzhu, how many years have you followed your father?" ”

Qingzhu looked at Zhou Xiaofu for some reason and wondered what was wrong with this fourth miss, but still replied seriously: "Back to the fourth miss, Qingzhu has been following the master for seven years." ”

Zhou Xiaofu smiled: "Then you should know that as a personal servant, you should report to your father first and wait for your father to make a decision, instead of making your own decisions for your master?" Seeing Qingzhu's gradually cracked face, Zhou Xiaofu continued: "If you let people outside know about it, you still think that our little servants in the Zhou Mansion are so in charge of the master." ”

At this time, Qingzhu's face became even more ugly, and he immediately bent down and said, "The little one doesn't dare, the little one will go in and report to the second master." Cuihua looked at her fourth young lady with a look of admiration over Xiao Si Qingzhu.

After Qingzhu walked in, he saw Zhou Lanqing standing on the desk and writing something seriously, and did not speak immediately. Zhou Lanqing lifted his hand, then slowly handed the brush to Qingzhu, then dragged up the freshly written words and blew them gently with his mouth, and then asked Qingzhu what was the matter.

Qingzhu dragged the brush with both hands, and thought about it: "Second master, the fourth lady took the maid to the door of the study and wanted to see you." ”

Zhou Lanqing frowned, he is talented and learned, although he didn't mix up anything in the position of the Ministry of Rites, but he also thinks very highly of himself, he doesn't feel that he is unambitious but thinks that it is so good, he advocates moderation, Zhou Lanqing thinks that this position is very good, he is not very busy every day, he can write more in his spare time, appreciate calligraphy and painting, and it is also a great pleasure in life, although in the eyes of others, this is obviously not motivated, but Zhou Lanqing does not feel it, but is leisurely every day.

For Zhou Xiaofu's daughter, Zhou Lanqing doesn't like it much, but she has heard a lot of things about this daughter in the mouth of her current wife Ye Xinlan, so for Zhou Lanqing, Zhou Xiaofu is limited to her own daughter, but she doesn't know it.

After thinking about it, he didn't want to think about it, so he told Qingzhu to let his daughter in. Zhou Lanqing is like this, he can't think of anything, he can't figure it out, he doesn't want to think about it, he has always looked at worldly things very lightly.

Zhou Xiaofu left Cuihua outside the study and walked in alone.

This study is three rooms connected together, like a sugar gourd house type, Zhou Xiaofu walked into the first room The windows are all made of glass, the whole room is very bright, the room is surrounded by bookshelves, a long table is placed in the middle, a chair, the bookshelves of the whole study are dark coffee color, a strong sandalwood fragrance, Zhou Xiaofu does not know the wood of this wooden shelf, but I think that the geology of this bookshelf must be much better than Huanghuali's, walking into the second room, the same arrangement, surrounded by bookshelves, But there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and there are cursive characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, and there are decent subordinates. Slowly walked into the innermost one, this room is the largest one, the whole room has bookshelves and two large desks put together, I saw a man with thick eyebrows leaning sideways with a pair of words under the window, there is a small door hanging curtains on the left side of this room, I think it is the small bedroom of the cheap father.

After coming in, Zhou Xiaofu did not hurry to salute, but quietly looked at the things on the table, there were many seals, Zhou Xiaofu recognized that these inconspicuous seals were actually valuable bloodstones.

Picked up a square seal and touched the texture, and then looked at the engraved word "Xingshui Cloth" and thought that the words of this cheap dad are Xingshui, the so-called Xingshui, a flowing water source.

At this time, Zhou Lanqing turned her head and saw that this uncommon daughter was wearing a pink cotton shirt with a lotus root, which seemed to be a lot lighter, and she was indeed thinner than the last time she saw her at the family banquet. ”

Zhou Xiaofu put the seal away in no hurry, then took half a step back and put his hands on the left side of his waist, bent over 45 degrees and saluted Zhou Lanqing seriously, because he has been practicing the breathing method for the past seven or eight days, Zhou Xiaofu's body is a lot lighter, and a salute is as pleasing to the eye, of course, it will look better if he is thinner.

Zhou Lanqing looked at Zhou Xiaofu, this child is really similar to himself between his eyebrows and eyes, the two children left by his deceased wife are very similar to himself, only the nose is a little similar to his deceased wife, I think that he and his deceased wife Wang Qingyang were also in love, in the first year of marriage, Wang Qingyang often accompanied him to read in the study, and accompanied himself to appreciate calligraphy and painting, but after giving birth to Sister Fu's son, his deceased wife Wang Qingyang's health began to be bad, every time she watched her become thinner and thinner, coughing up blood every day, and finally died. Zhou Lanqing closed her heart, didn't look at it or listened, her mother arranged for her to marry Ye Xinlan for 100 days, and she complied, even the two children didn't care, and as soon as she came back from the court, she went into the study.

Thinking of his deceased wife, Zhou Lanqing's heart softened, "Sister Fu'er, come and sit, do you also like seals?" ”

At this time, Zhou Xiaofu took out a transparent rectangular seal from his sleeve and carved a crane on it, this seal was found by Zhou Xiaofu recently cleaned up the space, the end of the world will be really poor, almost see any store pù have to go in and search, this seal is made of a piece of plexiglass, the crane carved by the machine, there is a small red plum blossom in the middle of the transparent plexiglass, and it looks like 20 yuan in modern times. Zhou Xiaofu plans to use this to fool the cheap father.

"Father, my daughter got a seal by chance, and I don't know how to appreciate it, so I plan to use it to honor my father." After saying that, he put the seal on the desk.

Zhou Lanqing had already seen it in the sunlight just now, and was already surprised in his heart, so he walked over quickly, put down the words in his hand, picked up the seal and looked at it carefully, he had never seen such a special seal, it felt a bit like glass, but it was not, it was smooth, the whole seal was transparent, and a red plum was embedded inside, but there was no trace outside. On the top of the seal is also engraved a one-legged crane, the carving is very peculiar, and even the feathers can be seen clearly.

The more Zhou Lanqing looked at it, the more happy she became, and when she looked up after reading it, she found that her daughter was no longer in front of her, but sitting by the bookshelf and flipping through the books on the shelf.

Zhou Lanqing immediately walked quickly to her daughter and asked, "Sister Fu'er, where did this seal come from?" Do you really want to be a father? ”

"Of course I have to give it to my father, I don't give it to my father, and my brother doesn't have a table now, so I can't use it." Then he looked at the book in his hand without raising his head, and invisibly deliberately ignored his father's first question.

The sentence "Don't give it to your father" made Zhou Lanqing happy in her heart, yes, this is her own bloodline, and if you have good things, you think about yourself, Zhou Lanqing can't help but feel a little guilty in her heart, thinking that she usually takes good care of this child, but her daughter has good things but sends them with her eyes, so she immediately asked: "Sister Fu'er, what do you want, buy it for your father." ”

Zhou Xiaofu was waiting for this sentence, so she said cautiously: "Father, is it really possible?"

Zhou Lanqing heard her daughter's puzzled question, immediately puffed up her chest and immediately promised: "Sister Fu'er, say it, if you want anything, as long as you can buy it for your father." ”

Zhou Xiaofu smiled slyly and said; "Father, Sister Fu'er doesn't have anything she wants, she just wants to read some books, I wonder if I can take turns reading those books?"

Zhou Lanqing was very surprised when she heard her daughter say that she didn't want anything, she just wanted to read books, how could she not know that her daughter liked to read, but she was also very happy to hear that her daughter liked to read, so she nodded happily: "Okay, since Sister Fu is so keen on reading, of course it is good, although Sister Fu does not need to take the imperial examination, but it is a good thing for women to read well, you can come to the study to borrow books to read, and then exchange them after reading, of course, Sister Fu'er, you have to cherish the books for your father." ”

Zhou Xiaofu nodded happily, immediately picked out four books, and then found a piece of paper and simply registered and said goodbye, because she found that Zhou Lanqing had been staring at his seal hard, Zhou Xiaofu smiled very happily, a 20 yuan thing made this cheap dad so happy It's too straight.
