"yes!" Zhou Shaojin said with certainty, "Let's go over now and come back before the dinner." ”

After singing this play, it should be time for dinner.

Shi Xiang pondered, didn't dare to delay, and went to the small mountain Conggui Courtyard with Zhou Shaojin.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the Hanbi Mountain House, the Xiaoshan Conggui Courtyard is quiet and cold, even with a little loneliness.

On duty at the door is Lang Yue.

He saw Zhou Shaojin's face with joy and said, "Why did Miss Second Watch come over?" I heard that Hancui Mountain House is singing, doesn't Miss Second Cousin like to listen to operas? ”

"It's fine." Zhou Shaojin had no intention of telling people she didn't know well about her preferences, she smiled, "Is Miss Jiying back?" ”

"I'm back." Lang Yue smiled, "I came back with the fourth master." Did Miss Second Watch come over to find Sister Jiying? Do you want me to say it? ”

Uncle Chi didn't punish Ji Ying?

This made Zhou Shaojin feel relieved, and said with a smile: "Then I bother you to say it." ”

"Second Miss, you wait." Lang Yue smiled and invited Zhou Shaojin to sit down in the gazebo, made a cup, and then retreated.

Shi Xiang said with a smile: "This Langyue is much more enthusiastic than Qingfeng. ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled and nodded.

After drinking the tea, Lang Yue also came over: "Second Cousin Miss, Miss Jiying, please go and sit in her room!" ”

Shi Xiang was surprised.

According to the ceremony, Zhou Shaojin wanted to see Ji Ying, and as soon as he told the mother in charge, the mother in charge would take Ji Ying to Wan Xiangju. The reason why the second lady respects Ji Ying so much is that she is good friends with her, and secondly, she does not see that she is the one who serves the fourth master. Now that Zhou Shaojin has arrived at the door, not only did she not greet her in person, but also asked Zhou Shaojin to sit in her room.

What a system this becomes!

Shi Xiang was about to persuade Zhou Shaojin, who knew that Zhou Shaojin said: "That's good!" It's just that I don't know where Jihotaru lives, and I want to ask you to help lead the way! ”

Lang Yue happily agreed, and led them around the embroidery hall and went to the back room. On the way, he also told her: "The highest is Qingyin Pavilion, not only can you see the whole picture of Jiuru Lane, but you can also see the street outside Jiuru Lane." However, it is not the highest in the house, the highest in the house is the Feibai Pavilion on the side of the ancestor of the second room, and it is said that even the entire Jinling City can be seen. Behind the embroidery house is Lixuezhai. Sister Jiying and Sister Nanping, they live in the back of Lixuezhai......"

Zhou Shaojin guessed: "Is Qi Xuezhai the study of the fourth master?" ”

"Hmm!" Lang Yue smiled, "The fourth master is also resting there." ”

Zhou Shaojin saw that he was very lively, and asked him with a smile: "Why do you always wear a Taoist robe?" Is it because the fourth master is a Taoist monk? ”

"It's not!" Lang Yue smiled, "It's because it's easy to wear like this." ”

Zhou Shaojin laughed twice and said, "Is your family a servant?" When did you enter the house? ”

"I am not a servant." Lang Yue said, her expression was slightly gloomy, and said, "I was fished up from the river by the fourth master when the Yongding River was flooded that year. As he spoke, he paused in his tone, "Qingfeng too." The breeze was fished up first, and I was fished up later. The fourth master said that the village of our two families should not be far apart. ”

Zhou Shaojin was surprised.

The Yongding River is in the north, even if it is a big flood, for the people in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not as impressive as the family next door who marries their daughter. If she hadn't lived in the capital, many of the people in the capital had sold themselves to be servants that year, and she wouldn't have remembered that the Yongding River had burst its embankment in the fifteenth year of Zhide.

That year, it happened that Uncle Chi went to Beijing to take the exam.

It may be the breeze and moon that was saved at that time.

Zhou Shaojin pondered, smiled and comforted him: "If you don't die in a big disaster, you must be blessed." You'll be safe and sound. ”

"I think so too." Lang Yue is very optimistic, "We are well fed and warmly dressed now, and we can still read and write with Uncle Huaishan, maybe we can be like Steward Qin in the future, and become the steward of Jiuru Lane!" ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled and said, "You can definitely do it." ”

The two of them talked, and soon arrived at the courtyard where Ji Hotaru lived.

The small building on the second floor, with red lacquer pillars, green lacquer window lattices, pasted with white Korean paper, the soft curtains that have just been replaced are embroidered with the pattern of Baoxiang flowers, the chrysanthemums in the white porcelain pot on the corridor, the buds are about to bloom, and the two banana trees in the corner of the wall have reached the height of the eaves.

"Second Miss!" Ji Ying stood in the door with the curtain and smiled at Zhou Shaojin, "Are you afraid that I will be punished by your Uncle Chi?" ”

"It's not." Zhou Shaojin was a little embarrassed and said, "I just came to see you." ”

"Got it, got it." Ji Hotaru squinted and smiled, beckoning her, "Come in and sit...... I was grounded by your Uncle Chi and couldn't step out of this threshold. I also have to write the "Female Commandment" five hundred times. ”

"Huh?!" Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened.

"Nothing." Ji Hotaru smiled, "I still write quite fast." Come in and sit down. ”

Zhou Shaojin heard the words and hurriedly took Shi Xiang into the house.

All black lacquer furniture, paved with autumn fragrance embroidered five bats holding longevity flowers, the long case for the official kiln of the double-branched plum vase, the table screen is sour branch wood, inlaid with a pair of flowers and peonies of Suzhou embroidery, the east is the inner room of the Ruyi door, the west is the study separated by the floor cover, and there is a little maid who pours tea and water.

Shi Xiang was taken aback.

This set of fireflies, not only does not act like a maid, but also does not look like a maid in terms of food and clothing.

I don't know if the maids in the courtyard are like this? Or is it just a collection of fireflies?

She pondered.

Zhou Shaojin also looked at the furnishings in the room and said, "You are really good!" ”

It's better than embroidery.

It's not that the things that are put on the table should be good...... It's the embroidery hall that gives people a cold feeling, but the place where Jihotaru lives is full of harmony.

She saw a low couch with grapes and peonies wrapped around the window of the study, and a couch with Zhang Pengyaxiang cloud pattern was placed in the middle of the couch.

Zhou Shaojin was slightly stunned, stepped forward to touch the ivory carvings on the couch, and asked Jiying: "Are you from the north?" ”

"Huh!" Ji Ying personally put the fruit bowl that the little maid brought in on the couch, and asked her to sit on the short couch with a smile, "How do you know?" ”

Zhou Shaojin said vaguely: "I heard that the kang of the northerners is completely under the window, and I see that the short couch in your house is placed here." ”

"You're so careful." Ji Ying smiled and pointed to the fruit bowl, and said, "You taste it, the newly listed pomegranate was brought back by Qin Ziping." He added, "My family is from Cangzhou, have you heard of it?" ”

Zhou Shaojin's heart jumped.

Cangzhou, of course she had heard of it.

Very close to the capital.

Many nursing homes in the capital are Cangzhou people.

"I've seen it in books." Zhou Shaojin said calmly, "But I haven't been there!" ”

Ji Ying smiled when she heard this, and cleaned her hands to help Zhou Shaojin peel the pomegranate.

Only then did Zhou Shaojin find a sword hanging on the opposite wall.

Three feet long, green shark skin, red tassels, looks simple and generous, unlike those swords used in town houses, inlaid with gems or gossip and the like.

She asked, "What is this?" ”

Ji Ying smiled: "I brought it from home, the villain of the town!" ”

Zhou Shaojin didn't look like it, but Ji Ying didn't say it, and she didn't want to ask too much.

Ji Hotaru summoned Shi Xiang to come over and eat pomegranates together.

Shi Xiang glanced at Zhou Shaojin and saw that she had no different color, so she smiled and thanked her, and sat in front of the couch with a small pestle.

Zhou Shaojin asked Ji Ying: "Is Uncle Chi very angry?" In addition to grounding you and punishing you for copying the "Female Commandment" 500 times, did you punish you? ”

"Nope." Ji Ying's cheeks puffed out and said, "Your Uncle Chi is not so stingy...... But," she laughed twice, "your Uncle Chi must have a hard time in the coming days...... No, even if he is fine, he will have to go through a lot of twists and turns-tomorrow, the old people of the Guo family will invite your Uncle Chi over for dinner, and your Uncle Chi has already agreed. How do I think he escaped this time? ”

Zhou Shaojin said: "How do you know? ”

"This matter was agreed by the fourth master in front of everyone, how could I not know?" Ji Ying said with a smile, "Although the young ladies from the Guo family are not very old this time, they are of the same generation as your Uncle Chi. In the past, the old people of the Guo family couldn't catch him, but since they met him this time, and invited your Uncle Chi to dinner, they must make persistent efforts and continue to be a matchmaker for your Uncle Chi. ”

Why didn't she know?

Zhou Shaojin was stunned, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Cheng Chi.

Cheng Zheng and Cheng Xiao can choose a desirable one when they get married, but when they come to Uncle Chi, they have to press the cow's head to drink water......

After a while, Nanping came over.

She brought some refreshments over, smiled and said to Zhou Shaojin: "I didn't know that Miss Second Cousin was here, so I asked the kitchen to make some snacks in a hurry, which is not a tribute." I don't know if it fits the taste of Miss Erbiao? He added, "Two days ago, I heard from Mrs. that the picture of the baby that Miss Second Cousin drew for Aunt Xiao made the people of the Yuan family full of praise, and I regretted it, I should have gone to the needlework room to see it." ”

Such politeness made Zhou Shaojin a little restrained, and he felt that he was not at ease when he was with Ji Ying.

She exchanged a few words with Nanping, and when she saw that there was nothing wrong with Ji Ying, she got up and said goodbye.

Nanping personally sent Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin excused herself again and again, and finally let her stop at the gate.

But after walking a few steps, she thought for a moment and turned towards the embroidered hall.

Shi Xiang hurriedly said, "Second Miss, where are you going?" ”

"I'll go see Uncle Chi." Zhou Shaojin entered the embroidery hall without looking back.

Today's incident, it is estimated that Uncle Chi is not feeling well.

Who wants to be persecuted?

And the arranged things were mixed up by Ji Hotaru again...... I wonder what happened to him now?

Zhou Shaojin's pace is getting faster and faster.

The embroidery hall was still closed, and there was no one around.

Zhou Shaojin went to the open hall at the back.

The door to the open hall was open.

Zhou Shaojin stood in the corridor and shouted, "Is there anyone in the house?"

Before her words fell, Huai Shan walked out.

Seeing Zhou Shaojin, he didn't show surprise, but asked her calmly: "Who is Miss Second Watch looking for?" ”

Zhou Shaojin's ears were slightly warm, and he said, "I'm looking for Uncle Chi." Is he there? ”

Huaishan hesitated for a moment and said, "The fourth master is in Lixuezhai...... Miss Second Watch comes in for a cup of tea, and I'll go and help you out. ”

Zhou Shaojin sat down in the bright room of the open hall with hot ears.

Huaishan personally poured her a cup of tea, and then went to invite Cheng Chi.

Shi Xiang said in a low voice: "Second Miss, why is it so deserted in the courtyard of Xiaoshan Cong, and there is not even a maid and a little maid." ”
