Chapter 3: Cowardice

Grandma went to Mrs. Guan, but Zhou Shaojin fell into deep thought.

Guest?

What kind of guests?

Could it be related to Wu Baozhang?

She couldn't sit still a little and instructed Shi Xiang: "You go and see!" ”

"Second Miss, let's eat something to cushion your stomach first! I just came from the kitchen, the crystal cake is very good, crystal clear, like jade, it must be delicious......" Shi Xiang looked left and right, but did not move.

Zhou Shaojin was angry, but she couldn't deal with her - she only acted on her sister's orders. Zhou Shaojin had no choice but to explain: "I just want to know what my grandmother is doing?" My aunt and uncle are out of my way, and my grandmother may come to see me too. ”

Shi Xiang thought about it and felt that Zhou Shaojin made sense, so he sent someone to inquire. But after a stick of incense, the little maid came over and replied: "It's the wife of Lord Yin Wu of Shuntian Mansion who came to visit the old lady." ”

Zhou Shaojin was overjoyed and said to Shi Xiang: "Give me a change of clothes, and I'll go to my grandmother to say goodbye, so as not to worry about her old man." ”

She followed Zhou Shaojin to call the Cheng family.

Shi Xiang stopped her: "It's not too early, the old lady has a distinguished guest there, I think it's better to wait for the eldest lady to come back, you and the eldest lady will go over together, the old lady will definitely be happy to see it." While speaking, he made a look and asked the little maid to report to Fan Liu.

Fan Liu hurried over, sang and joined Shi Xiang, said a lot of words, and was determined not to let Zhou Shaojin go out.

Zhou Shaojin sighed helplessly.

It's not that she can't stop these maids, but she remembers that in her memory, Fan Liu escorted her all the way to the capital to join her sister, but they were stranded in Tongzhou due to heavy snow, and they were not entangled enough, Fan Liu took a pair of ancestral gold bracelets of the Fan family, and she was able to see her sister alive.

Fan Liu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that she would have any more thoughts, and accompanied her until Zhou Chujin came back.

Zhou Shaojin was very happy when she saw her sister, and she didn't want to be separated for a moment, so Zhou Chujin sat aside and talked to her when she changed her clothes.

Zhou Chujin was a little unaccustomed to it, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you today?" When you see me on weekdays, you chirp like a sparrow about yourself, why do you only ask me about it now? Isn't it too boring at home these days? He added, "When you finish taking Zhou Niangzi's medicine, I'll accompany you to the back garden to row a boat, okay?" ”

My sister is a serious personality and rarely frolicks with Zhou Shaojin. Zhou Shaojin was very happy to hear it, but she was happy, but she was not interested, as if she had experienced too much, and these were no longer enough to make her yearn for it. But she still responded with a smile on her face, and offered to go with Zhou Chujin to greet Mrs. Guan: "I'm already fine, it's better to go and say hello to my grandmother." ”

Zhou Chujin hesitated for a moment, and asked her a little cautiously: "Do you remember what happened in the dream?" ”

It seems that my sister is still haunted by her "dream"!

Zhou Shaojin sighed secretly and said with a smile: "Some remember, some don't......"

Zhou Chujin's face on the opposite side changed slightly.

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly said: "But it's like seeing flowers in the fog, and it's not very clear." ”

Zhou Chujin looked relieved at this time, and said with a smile: "If you don't remember, don't remember, it's not a good thing anyway." ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded again and again.

Zhou Chujin asked Shi Xiang to accompany her to change clothes, and she asked Fan Liu about the scene after leaving. Knowing that Zhou Shaojin was no longer shouting anything like "will be implicated by the Cheng family", she couldn't help but fold her hands together and made a few gestures to the west: "I'm relieved!" It can be seen that these days have not been in vain. ”

Fan Liu and the others also wiped the corners of their eyes with feeling.

Zhou Chujin and Zhou Shaojin went to Mrs. Guan's side.

Mrs. Guan's guests had already left, and when they saw the two sisters, they took Zhou Chujin's hand and asked Zhou Shaojin: "It seems that the disease has been cured!" ”

"You're missing." Zhou Chujin didn't wait for Zhou Shaojin to answer before rushing to say, "She's just naughty." I have learned a lesson this time, and I will definitely live in peace in the future! ”

Zhou Shaojin fell from the rockery with two bruises on her arms and calves, and it was no big deal, what mattered was her nonsense. Zhou Chujin had no choice but to say in front of outsiders that she had broken her arm and was not good to stay at home, and she had to see some koi, and the wind blew by the lake and suffered from the cold.

Mrs. Guan laughed.

Zhou Shaojin is not a human in his heart.

How worried my sister must be about her to be so uneasy!

Mrs. Guan left the sisters for dinner. Mrs. Chu came to serve. After the meal, they went to the banquet room on the east side to drink tea.

Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Guan talked about paying homage to the ancestors of the second room. Zhou Shaojin has never been able to find a chance to interject. Finally, the topic turned to the guests to be entertained, Zhou Shaojin was worried for a while, and then he made a very interested appearance and asked: "I heard that the newly appointed parents and officials are also coming to pay homage to the ancestors?" ”

Mrs. Chuda gave birth to only two sons. The eldest son, Cheng He, is the same year as Zhou Chujin, and the second son, Cheng Yi, is two years older than Zhou Shaojin. Sister Zhou is well-behaved and sensible, she has never looked at the two sisters, although she is not as good as her own child, but she also cares about everything, asks about everything, and takes care of her heart. When Zhou Shaojin was talking to the elders, she suddenly interjected, although she felt that it was inappropriate, she did not reprimand Zhou Shaojin for making a fuss, but smiled very generously: "Yes! Today, Mrs. Wu is here to visit your grandmother! It is said that when the ancestor has a birthday banquet, not only Lord Wu will come, but she will also bring her children over to pay homage to the ancestor. Listening to that tone, it is to be good with our family! "The last sentence was said to Mrs. Guan.

Mrs. Guan smiled and bowed her head, and took the opportunity to teach Zhou Chujin: "The mansion Yin who destroyed the door, the county order of the broken family." Although your uncle Jing and them live in the temple, they are far away after all, unlike Lord Wu, who is right in front of them, and they can't be offended. Since Mrs. Wu intends to walk around with our family, we can't snub others, but we can't grovel and dare not be arrogant. You will marry into the Liao family as a clan wife in the future, and you have to ponder these truths carefully and taste your own taste in order to gain a foothold in the Liao family. ”

Zhou Chujin blushed and replied, "Yes."

Mrs. Guan was afraid that Zhou Chujin would marry too early and couldn't stand the pain of childbirth, so she left Zhou Chujin until she was sixteen years old before she began to officially celebrate the ceremony with the Liao family.

Zhou Zhen was a little anxious, but Mrs. Guan felt that this was fine, and when she saw the opportunity, she told Zhou Chujin some truths about how to behave and do things.

Zhou Shaojin looked at it and smiled.

If those memories are true, although it was not smooth for my sister to marry in the past, she was still very happy overall, especially her brother-in-law Liao Shaotang, Aiwu and Wu, and even she was stained with a lot of light.

Thinking of these, Zhou Shaojin's mood relaxed a lot. She smiled and continued to ask: "Auntie, I heard that Mrs. Wu's surname is 'Guan', and she is my grandmother's mother's family - that's a coincidence, Jingzhou is thousands of miles away from here!" It's not easy. ”

Mrs. Guan is a person from Jingzhou Mansion, and her father is the same year as the ancestor of the second room of the Cheng family, because she only got the daughter of Mrs. Guan, she is riddled with diseases, and it is difficult to return, I don't know when I will lose my life, I am afraid that my daughter will not have a support, and I see that the mother of the Cheng family is filial piety, brothers, friends and brothers, it is a good family, and Jinling is a prosperous place, so I married my daughter. Mrs. Guan has never returned to Jingzhou since she got married.

She smiled: "Where is my mother's family, it is not the same ancestral hall at all, it is just a surname!" ”

Zhou Shaojin saw that the two elders were kind and pleasant, and became more and more bold, and said: "I heard that the eldest lady of the Wu family is only one year older than me, but there is a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, which is as beautiful as the jade girl in front of Guanyin, and I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

"You know everything?" Mrs. Guan said curiously, "Who sued you?" ”

Zhou Chujin's heart tightened.

The girl's family is the most taboo, and this Shaojin has made a mistake again, which makes people unguardable. If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have brought her here.

She was about to help Zhou Shaojin speak, but Zhou Shaojin had already smiled and said: "I lie in bed every day and have nothing to do, and I pester her to talk when I see anyone coming." I can't remember who said this, I can't remember for a while. After saying that, he smiled embarrassedly.

When Mrs. Guan saw her smiling innocently, as bright and beautiful as summer flowers, she couldn't help but smile deeper.

"How nice is that!" She sighed, "Little girl's family, you should be happy at a young age." It's timid all day long, as if he's been bullied, and people feel blocked when they look at it......"

Mrs. Chu coughed a few times anxiously.

In the end, it is not biological, this is a bit heavy.

Mrs. Guan came back to her senses and quietly changed the topic: "I haven't seen Miss Wu, if you are interested, when she comes over to pay her birthday, you can sit at a table." ”

Zhou Shaojin's expression moved slightly.

She always thought that her grandmother and aunt valued her sister more because her sister was their own granddaughter and blood relatives with them...... It turns out that he is also responsible.

Zhou Chujin saw that her sister was a little stunned, and she was so anxious that she couldn't do anything, so she said a few words with Mrs. Guan, and then pulled Zhou Shaojin to leave.

On the way, she advised Zhou Shaojin: "Don't take your grandmother's words to heart." She's also for your own good. You're usually a little bit better-tempered. Many things in this world are like drinking water, cold and warm self-knowing, if you don't say it, how can others know? Your personality really needs to be changed. ”

Zhou Shaojin has mixed tastes, and he wants to sleep with Zhou Chujin at night.

Zhou Chujin hadn't slept with her sister for some days, and she wanted to whisper to her sister, so she readily agreed.

The two sisters lay side by side, talking about their childhood, and gradually fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Shaojin suddenly woke up, his hand was horizontal, but there was no one around.

She broke out in a cold sweat. When he saw that there was a light in the ear room next to him, he walked over with his shoes on.

Zhou Chujin knelt in front of Zhuang Liangyu's portrait and was muttering to his stepmother: "...... Mother, I'm so scared...... Do you want to bless Shaojin...... Safe and sound...... I'm willing to live for 10 years......"

Zhou Shaojin's tears flowed out at once.

She folded back lightly, pulled the covers over her head, and closed her eyes.

Soon, the pillow was wet.

Brothers and sisters, new text, begging**, begging for collections, begging for clicks, begging for all kinds of tickets...... Thank you!
