Chapter 269: Moving (Adding to Jinling Spring Bar)
Eight treasure tofu, braised lion's head, stewed bamboo shoots, Longjing shrimp, sweet and sour pork ribs, fish balls in clear soup...... The table full of dishes is mainly light, and most of them are what Zhou Shaojin likes to eat, especially the braised lion head, which is only the size of Sixi balls, which she told Wanxiangju to make for her in the small kitchen.
Was this done specifically for her?
"Old lady......" Zhou Shaojin held the chopsticks, not knowing what to say.
Mrs. Guo motioned for a braised lion's head to be sandwiched between the pearls of the cloth vegetables next to her and put it in Zhou Shaojin's bowl, and said with a smile: "You will spend a few years in Hanbi Mountain House in the future, what you like and what you don't like, you have to open your mouth to tell me." Otherwise, it will only be yourself who will be wronged. You know? ”
Zhou Shaojin nodded again and again.
Old Madam Guo smiled and pointed to her bowl, and said softly, "Eat it!" I also asked the kitchen to make crystal cakes, and after today, you wrote your own list of what you want to eat and went to the kitchenette. I'm going to go to the Fucui Pavilion with you later! I wonder how they cleaned up? ”
"The house was very clean." Zhou Shaojin said with a smile, "They put everything out in the afternoon of the Spring Festival Gala. I'll be with you later. ”
Old Madam Guo smiled with satisfaction.
She raised her three granddaughters with her own hands. Cheng Zheng is serious, and she doesn't have to worry about everything; Cheng Xiao is introverted, and everything on his mind is hidden in the bottom of his heart; Cheng Sheng is lively, but she is too lively, and sometimes the noise makes her have a headache. Zhou Shaojin is between the three of them, just right.
Eat without saying a word, sleep without saying a word.
After dinner, Zhou Shaojin helped Mrs. Guo to Fucui Pavilion.
Black lacquered furniture, the floor cover hangs an oily green Hangzhou silk tent, sweet white porcelain flowers, pastel tea cups, and a bottle of magnolia flowers and plum vases in front of the large bookcase near the window.
Mrs. Guo was a little surprised.
The sweet white porcelain and pastel have only emerged in the past two years, and the older generation thinks they have no background, too simple or fancy to them, but the younger generation likes them to be light and bright.
Although she asked Mama Lu to treat Zhou Shaojin well, she didn't say what kind of hospitality, according to Mama Lu's eyes, most of them would open the warehouse and take out the more valuable jade bonsai and cloisonne porcelain at home to entertain guests.
This kind of steady and bright furnishings can never be the handiwork of Mama Lu.
But in front of Zhou Shaojin, she didn't want to ask much.
After sitting in the banquet room of Fucui Pavilion for a while, Mrs. Guo got up and said goodbye.
Zhou Shaojin sent Mrs. Guo to the door all the way before turning back.
Mrs. Guo returned to the upper room in silence all the way.
Mama Lu, who was serving beside Mrs. Guo, saw that Mrs. Guo was fine just now, and when she looked at Zhou Shaojin's residence, she couldn't help but feel very worried, and when she saw Pearl helping Mrs. Guo to sit down on the Luohan bed, she hurriedly took the tea held by the little maid and handed it to Mrs. Guo herself.
Mrs. Guo drank tea, sent Pearl and others, and asked her, "Did you personally arrange the residence of Miss Second Cousin?" ”
It turned out to be for this thing.
Mama Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
She also felt a little shabby at the beginning, but Qin Ziping said that this was the idea of the fourth master, so she went with them to toss.
"It's not." Mama Lu smiled, "It's the idea of President Qin next to the fourth master." ”
Old Madam Guo frowned, sent Mama Lu away, sat there alone for a while, and then called Pearl to come in and serve her to rest.
Zhou Shaojin rolled happily on the bed.
She loved the bed too.
It is a small lacquered bed with a lot of small drawers at the head of the bed that can be used to put a lot of things.
And there are mattresses, which are padded in many layers, and lie down softly, as if lying in the clouds. Unlike Wan Xiangju's bed, it is hard and hard, and it is said that it is good for the body to sleep, but she just likes soft beds.
The Spring Festival Gala covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Second Miss, do you want to move the flowers you left in Wanxiangju?" ”
Zhou Shaojin was a little worried.
Originally, she thought that flowers are very delicate things, if she can stay in Jiashutang after her sister gets married, don't toss those flowers, if she wants to follow the Li family to Baoding, it is justified for her to move away from Jiuru Lane.
Now it's okay, she lived in the Hanbi Mountain House, but some things were left in Wanxiangju, just now my grandmother asked her to go back to Wanxiang to live in a few days, these words have not fallen, she went to Wanxiangju to move things...... It can't help but give people a feeling of coolness.
Knowing this, I should have moved those pots of flowers back to Pingqiao Street in the first place.
It's too late to say that.
"I can only move slowly when I see the opportunity in the future." Zhou Shaojin said helplessly.
The Spring Festival Gala responded with a smile and helped Zhou Shaojin remove the hairpin ring.
Zhou Shaojin slept all night without dreams until dawn.
There was already movement on Mrs. Guo's side.
She was busy getting dressed and getting up.
The Spring Festival Gala smiled: "Second Miss, don't worry! When you haven't woken up yet, Miss Pearl has been ordered by the old lady to come and pass the word, saying that you don't have to settle down in the morning and dusk, just accompany her old man to the Buddhist hall to recite two volumes of sutras every day (note: ten o'clock in the morning). ”
"How can that work!" Zhou Shaojin still urged the Spring Festival Gala to help her freshen up.
The Spring Festival Gala smiled: "I also asked Jasper and Pearl Girl, and said that it was like this when Miss Sheng was there in the past." He also said that the old lady would occasionally wake up in the morning and lie in bed for a long time over the years, presumably because she didn't want anyone to disturb her. I think the second lady still follows the old lady's wishes, and goes to accompany her every day to read two volumes of scriptures. ”
When I first arrived, I didn't know if Mrs. Guo's words were true or false, but since Jasper and Pearl had said so, she was still obedient.
Zhou Shaojin's whole person relaxed.
The Spring Festival Gala took a big red list sprinkled with gold to her: "Second Miss, look! It was delivered from the kitchen early this morning. If there is anything you particularly want to eat that is not on this list, you can send someone to talk to the kitchenette and they will change the recipe. ”
Zhou Shaojin opened it and saw that her favorite needle brocade tofu and crystal cake were all on the list.
She couldn't help but take the list and look at it.
Not even a pleat, apparently new.
This shouldn't have been arranged by Mrs. Guo, right?
Of course, Mrs. Guo will treat her well, but she is too old to be careful at this point.
Could it be Mama Lu?
But those sweet white porcelain and pastels should have been newly bought, and she shouldn't have so much power.
Don't...... It's Uncle Chi!
It can't be either!
Uncle Chi wasn't at home at all, and he didn't even know that she had moved in. And the reason why Mrs. Guan agreed to her to move here so readily was entirely because of the sudden incident of Cheng Yi...... I don't know what Cheng Yi and Ji Ying said at that time? Actually set fireflies like that. Fortunately, the person who was beaten was Cheng Yi, if it was a person in the second, third or fifth room, even if Ji Ying was Uncle Chi's maidservant, even if Ji Ying was not wrong, I was afraid that he would not give up.
When Jihotaru came back, she had to remind Jihotaru that Jihotaru was.
Zhou Shaojin pondered in his heart, and after breakfast, he went to Mrs. Guo's.
Mrs. Guo was holding a pair of glasses and reading a book on the Luohan bed.
Zhou Shaojin smiled: "Can I help you read it?" ”
In her previous life, she often saw Aunt Mu helping Lin Shisheng's mother study, and Mother Lin, who originally disagreed with Lin Shisheng's acceptance of Aunt Mu as a concubine, was attacked by Aunt Mu little by little.
Old man Guo smiled and handed the book to Zhou Shaojin.
When Zhou Shaojin saw it, it turned out to be a travelogue, and he was also interested, and sat next to Mrs. Guo and read it vividly.
Her voice is sweet and tactful, very good.
The morning glow fell on her body, as if it had coated her with a layer of gold dust, and the quiet expression made her look more feminine than usual.
What a beauty!
I don't know who is blessed to marry!
Old Madam Guo secretly praised in her heart.
Mama Lu walked in lightly.
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly stopped the topic, put down the book and stood up, and said to Mrs. Guo: "I'll go make you a new pot of tea." ”
"No need. The tea is still hot. After Mrs. Guo finished speaking, she asked Mama Lu, "What's the matter with you?" ”
This is what it means not to avoid Zhou Shaojin.
Zhou Shaojin was very moved.
Mrs. Guo didn't treat her as an outsider.
Mama Lu felt a pang in her heart and said, "The Liangguo Mansion is happy to come over." ”
The marriage date of Zhu Pengju, the prince of Liangguo, and the eldest lady of the Liu family is scheduled for May 15.
Old Madam Guo thought for a while and said, "Then you can help me prepare two gifts, one for the Liangguo Mansion and one for the Liu family." Twenty taels of silver for each family. ”
So little!
When Shi Xiang went out of the pavilion, Mrs. Guo took twenty taels of silver to add a box to Shi Xiang.
Zhou Shaojin was surprised.
Mrs. Guo said: "The Liangguo Mansion and the Liu family have dealings with the Cheng family, and the relationship between your Uncle Chi and the prince of the Liangguo Mansion is also good. But your Uncle Chi has no friendship with the Liu family, and the Liu family is married to a daughter, and your Uncle Chi is not married, so there is no need to add boxes to the eldest lady of the Liu family. I'll come forward and respond to the scene. ”
Zhou Shaojin was taught.
Mrs. Guo smiled and got up to go to the Buddhist hall to recite the scriptures.
Zhou Shaojin served Mrs. Guo to change her clothes.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.
Zhou Shaojin was very curious.
Old Madam Guo's face sank and said, "What's going on?" ”
Pearl didn't wait for Mrs. Guo to speak, and when Mrs. Guo's words fell, she hurriedly turned back again, and said with a little pale: "Old lady, it's Mrs. Wen in the fifth room, I don't know why the grandmother next to me broke in crying." ”
Old Madam Guo's face was even more ugly.
Pearl hesitated: "Old lady, do you want to go to the Buddha hall first, it's time to chant the scriptures!" ”
This is to let Mrs. Guo avoid it.
It's just that before Mrs. Guo answered, Mrs. Wen had already rushed in, knelt in front of Mrs. Guo and hugged Mrs. Guo's leg and cried: "Auntie, you have to make the decision for me!" Your nephew, he's going to kill me! ”
