Chapter 331: Indifference (Additional to the Immortal Outside the Heavens)
Yuan's is the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, and Zhou Shaojin lives in the long house, so the Yuan family must know. But this kind of knowing made Zhou Shaojin feel uncomfortable with a thorn in his back.
She asked the Spring Festival Gala to put away the pair of beaded hairpins that Yuan gave her, and prepared to keep them for rewarding or giving them away.
Because several girls in the Gu family are of the same age, and Cheng Yi is not young, the Cheng and Gu families quickly invited a marriage, and began to agree on the next appointment.
Mrs. Chu took Zhou Shaojin to see the new house prepared for Cheng He's marriage, and pointed to a few messy small rooms in Cheng He's new house and said: "In the past two years, the dividends over there of Yutai's ticket number have been rich. Your uncle and I discussed repairing it and making a new house for Brother Yi'er. In this way, our house will not need to be renovated for at least 50 years. After speaking, he said with emotion, "I hope their brothers can work together to revitalize the family business." ”
Zhou Shaojin can't help but feel a little uneasy, thinking that she will be filial to Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Guan in the future, so she will accompany Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Guan from time to time.
Zhou Shaojin smiled when she heard this: "It will definitely be - the seventeenth aunt of the Gu family has a very good temperament, and the sister-in-law is a girl from the He family in Pukou, and the two well-informed families, they will definitely get along very well." The eldest aunt is waiting to enjoy the blessings! ”
A smile appeared on the face of the big lady as she spoke, and she said, "I hope that's what you say." I have been married to the Cheng family for so many years, and I have always been close to your grandmother, and I hope they can also be close to me. After speaking, she said "Huh" and said, "Shaojin, the Mid-Autumn Festival is about to be celebrated." What are the preparations for the long house? Your grandmother meant to take you back to Jiashutang for the Mid-Autumn Festival. She asked me to ask you. If you have other plans, then we will set up a table and banquet one day in advance, and the family will have a good gathering, and wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, when your eldest cousin and second cousin-in-law enter the door, it will be another lively. ”
Although the daughter-in-law is good, she has not entered the door yet, and she has not gotten along, how can she compare to Zhou Shaojin, who grew up in front of her since she was a child.
Zhou Shaojin thanked again and again, and said: "Mrs. Guo wants Cousin Xu to come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Uncle Chi said that the Mid-Autumn Festival often exists but time does not always occur, so let Cousin Xu decide for himself." Listening to Cousin Xu's meaning, he stayed in the algae garden during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he came. Mrs. Guo hadn't seen Cousin Xu for a few days, so she wanted to go to the Algae Garden for the Mid-Autumn Festival and accompany Cousin Xu. Uncle Chi was noncommittal, and there is no letter to this day. I'm afraid that they are afraid of me, and I want to discuss with my aunt and accompany you and your grandmother to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival......"
Mrs. Chu was overjoyed and said, "I'll go and tell your grandmother." Your grandmother is happy to know it. ”
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly stopped: "I haven't told the old lady and Uncle Chi about this matter yet!" When I have said hello to the old lady and Uncle Chi, it will not be too late for you to tell your grandmother. ”
"I'll save it!" Mrs. Chu said with a smile, "I have already asked people to order crabs and abalone in Haiji, the largest in Beimenqiao City. You are weak, you can't eat crabs, but abalone can be eaten......" Then he took her to Cheng He's new house to see it for a long time, and left her in Hanqiu Pavilion for lunch before letting her go back.
Zhou Shaojin was worried about the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he went to talk to Mrs. Guo in the afternoon.
Who knew that Mrs. Guo smiled and said: "Your Uncle Chi asked me to go to the algae garden to accompany Jiashan, and he stayed in the house for the Mid-Autumn Festival." But how can I leave your Uncle Chi alone in the Hanbi Mountain House? In addition, Jiashan is about to end, and it is indeed not the time to disturb him. After thinking about it, I decided to stay and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with your Uncle Chi. Since your grandmother picked you up for the holiday, I don't think it's better for the two of us to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together. I'm here to invite my grandmother, and everyone is lively and festive! ”
Mrs. Guo used to like quietness very much.
This time I stayed in Jiuru Lane for the Mid-Autumn Festival, most of which was because of her!
Zhou Shaojin was very grateful and went to tell Mrs. Guan.
Mrs. Guan was open-minded and said with a smile: "I think it's better to send it like this, everyone will come to Jiashutang on August 14, and we will all go to Hanbi Mountain House on August 15." Have a good time for two days! ”
Zhou Shaojin was naturally very happy.
Cheng Chi didn't say anything.
This is how it was settled.
When they went to Jiashutang on August 14, Zhou Shaojin accompanied Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Guan, and Mrs. Chu to gossip, while Cheng Wei, Cheng Chi, Cheng He, and Cheng Yi sat around another table commenting on current affairs.
Zhou Shaojin began to take charge of Cheng Chi's cold scene, but he didn't expect Cheng Chi's witty words and humorous humor, which made everyone laugh.
At first, she laughed until tears came out, and then she felt silent.
Uncle Chi is so good, but he is destined to have no chance with her.
But notice that she would rather be down to the dust than only watch from afar.
When the people in the fourth room came to the long room for the Mid-Autumn Festival the next day, everyone sat in the courtyard to guess riddles and admire the moon and eat moon cakes, and somehow talked about Cheng Huan's marriage.
Cheng Chi smiled and said, "It's time for Shaojin to learn how to host the feed." This marriage is a trivial matter, I think it is better to let Shao Jin help you, and just learn something. ”
Everyone applauds.
Zhou Shaojin glanced at Cheng Chi gratefully.
In this way, when Cheng Xu finishes the exam, she can justifiably avoid Cheng Xu.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Cheng family went to the Gu family to be hired.
Zhou Shaojin also followed, and joked with the eighteenth and twentieth aunts of the Gu family about Gu seventeen for a long time, but when she returned to the Hanbi Mountain House, she found that the Yuan family was back, and she was talking to Mrs. Guo behind closed doors.
She quietly returned to the Floating Green Pavilion.
When Jasper came to invite her to dinner, she went to the upper room.
Yuan looked more energetic than when he was in Jiuru Lane, with egg-blue Hangzhou plain noodles, bean-green eight Hunan skirts, bird-black hair curled into a peony bun, a lotus seed rice-sized Nanzhu bead flower, and a pigeon-chicken-sized ruby.
When she saw Zhou Shaojin, she immediately showed a happy smile and said, "But I haven't seen her for more than a year, Shaojin is getting more and more beautiful." ”
Zhou Shaojin smiled slightly and stepped forward to salute the Yuan family.
Yuan turned his head with a smile and said to Mrs. Guo: "But there are still so few words!" ”
Mrs. Guo said lightly: "The little girl's family is chirping like a sparrow all day long, too frivolous. It's better to say less. ”
Yuan's face was hot.
Mrs. Guo stood up and said to Pearl, "Tell your mother-in-law to set the meal!" ”
Pearl retreated.
Zhou Shaojin inertly stepped forward to help Mrs. Guo, but he didn't expect Yuan to help too, and the two of them were left and right, but there was no conflict.
Old Madam Guo put her hand on Zhou Shaojin's arm and said to Yuan: "You are also about to become a mother-in-law, these little girls should do these little things!" ”
Yuan's face was red and white for a while, and he responded "yes" respectfully, and walked behind Mrs. Guo.
The rule of Hanbi Mountain House has always been to arrange the dishes five days in advance, if you want to eat in the middle of the kitchen to cook, you need to inform the kitchen one to two hours before the meal, otherwise you will have to wait until the next meal. And the dishes on their table were still the original ones, and they didn't even add a single green vegetable, so she couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Guo quickly.
Old Madam Guo sat down at the table with a calm demeanor.
It turned out that Mrs. Guo didn't order the kitchen to add vegetables at all.
Seeing that the Yuan family was treated like this, Zhou Shaojin felt a little gloating.
The three of them finished their meal without saying a word, and the Yuan family waited for Mrs. Guo to use tea, then got up and said goodbye, "I want to go to the algae garden in the afternoon and stay there for a few days." ”
Mrs. Guo bowed her head. She was neither asked how to get there, nor how many days she had been stayed.
Yuan Shi was suddenly a little wolfy, and hurriedly saluted Mrs. Guo and left.
Mama Lu sent Mrs. Guo out, and when she came back, she muttered to persuade Mrs. Guo: "Madame is also for the good of the young master...... Other people can't think of it! If it weren't for Madame, I wouldn't have been able to get a collection of articles usually written by the chief examiner and deputy examiner......"
Mrs. Guo sneered and said, "Be a person first, and then do things." With such opportunistic shortcuts, can this road go far? ”
Mama Lu didn't dare to squeak, and glanced at Zhou Shaojin.
After all, Zhou Shaojin was born in a family of eunuchs, and he understood after listening to a few words.
She stepped forward to help Mrs. Guo refill a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Old lady, don't be angry. Cousin Xu studies very weekdays. But there is no first in the text, there is no second in the martial arts, and Aunt Jing is also doing this to be safer. If you think this is not good, when Cousin Xu finishes the exam, you can teach Cousin Xu a hard lesson. ”
It is better to punish him for kneeling in the ancestral hall.
Zhou Shaojin's words were actually pale and weak, but when Mrs. Guo saw her eyes full of concern, her heart softened, and she couldn't help but sigh a long time, and said, "I don't know!" I just don't think he's like your Uncle Chi...... The original examiner was your second uncle's father in the same year, and your uncle Jing and your second uncle spent almost two months helping your uncle Chi sort out the bookcase, but your uncle Chi didn't even look at it. In his words, you can know what kind of articles a person will make by looking at his personality, if he doesn't even have this vision, how can he be mixed up in officialdom? It's better to rest at home as soon as possible.
"Your cousin Xu, you don't have the courage of your Uncle Chi!
"I'm afraid that it will be difficult to worship the prime minister in the future!"
It should be that most people don't have such ability and courage!
Zhou Shaojin thought about it, and had no intention of helping Cheng Xu speak.
But the movement on the side of the algae garden still reached Mrs. Guo's ears from time to time, and she also listened to it, knowing that in order to let Cheng Xu get a good ranking, the Yuan family asked Cheng Wei to help write a three-piece test question for the instructor this time when he was in the capital...... knew that Cheng Xu studied every day and almost suffered from heat stroke...... There are many gardens in the algae garden, and the chirping of Yuan's cicadas disturbed Cheng Xu's mood, so that Huanxi and others could catch the cicadas, and now the algae garden can't even hear the cicadas...... Yuan personally arranges soup in the kitchen every day, and Cheng Xu can do whatever he wants......
Zhou Shaojin was silent.
When Qiu Ju was purple and red, and when they were competing to open, Cheng Xu entered the Tribute Academy.
