Chapter 337: High School
Two days later, the news came that Cheng Xu High School had Xie Yuan.
The entire Jiuru Lane was boiling.
You must know that the best result of the Cheng family in the imperial examination is Cheng Shao, the second old lady of Changfang, who is the leader of the Jiaxu branch in the twelfth year of Yongchang. But when Cheng Shao was pointed out, he was already thirty-seven years old.
And seventeen-year-old Xie Yuanlang has infinite possibilities.
On the way to the upper room of the Hanqiu Pavilion, Zhou Shaojin heard the servants who were watering the flowers and trees and cutting the leaves: "...... Uncle Xu will definitely win the champion, after the second old lady, we are going to set up a 'champion and first' archway in Jiuru Lane! ”
"I think even if Uncle Xu is named the champion, the long house will not set up an archway!" Someone said, "The people of the long house have never liked to make noise. The second old lady clicked on the list at that time, didn't someone come to persuade Mrs. Guo to set up a 'list of eyes and first' archway was rejected by Mrs. Guo? ”
"But is 'the top and first' and 'champion and first' the same? Last time, it was the little uncle, this time it was his own grandson, or the eldest grandson of the long house, and he was in charge of the people in Jiuru Lane! Even if Mrs. Guo doesn't agree, what about Mrs. Yuan? Someone retorted, "What's more, it was once upon a time, and now it is now -- once upon a time, Mrs. Guo was an orphan and widow, and lived with three sons." Look at the present, there are three sons, three two-rank jinshi, the eldest son is a cabinet assistant minister with great power, and the second son is a noble bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, you say, if you were Mrs. Guo, what would you do? ”
"Of course it's a big celebration!" Someone else joined in the discussion of several servants, "Wouldn't it be better to do nothing, than to walk in brocade clothes at night, what's the point?" ”
"It's a pity that you're not Mrs. Guo!" Someone laughed and said, "Old Madam Guo's mind is that even Mrs. Yuan can't guess it." Rest while it's too late! ”
The man was a little unconvinced, and said, "Can you guess Old Madam Guo's thoughts?" How do you know that Mrs. Guo won't celebrate? ”
The two of you quarreled one sentence, and I quarreled one sentence.
Zhou Shaojin shook his head with a smile, and was about to leave when he heard someone persuade: "Okay, okay, don't make any noise!" The people in the dormitory are not yet how. We're good. Their own people quarreled with their own people. According to me, although Uncle Xu is in the middle of the Yuan, he is far from the champion......"
"You know what!" Someone jumped out again. "When I went to the market to buy something for the eldest lady, I heard the storyteller in the teahouse say that if you look beautiful. When you go to the Jinluan Palace, you can at least order a flower exploration. The second old lady of the long house in our house. At that time, not only was the article well written, but the person was also very decent, and the emperor originally wanted to order him to explore the flowers, but the youngest person who participated in the imperial examination that time was the ninth old lady of the Li family in Lujiang. looks also very thoughtful, the emperor ordered the ninth old lady of the Li family in Lujiang to do Tanhua, and the second old lady of our family made the list. ”
"Nonsense." And all the people did not believe. said, "Then isn't the fourth master of our long house Chi Si good-looking?" He also went to the Golden Luang Palace. Why didn't you come back with a flower visit? ”
That dumb word.
Everyone talked about Cheng Chi one after another.
"You say, what's the matter with Master Chi Si? A few big girls around me have been released, leaving only Nanping and Jiying, that Nanping is still widowed, and there is no one to add one, and the little girl around him is a beautiful ......"
"Yes, yes! I heard from the people in the long room that Master Chi Si never entered the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, the Liyuan Theater, and he didn't even have a maid in the room! ”
"No, it won't! Isn't that Ji Hotaru the fourth master of Chi's room? The last time the second master was beaten, I saw that the set of fireflies had nothing to do with it......"
"I also think that set of fireflies should be the fourth master of Chi's room. Look at the style of her body, she is the grandmother Nuo who has just entered the door, and the young lady of the serious four-grade prefect's family is not as good as her! I see that the fourth master of Chi is not that there is no one around, but that idle people can't enter his eyes, you look at that set of fireflies, how beautiful they look, our second master can see that his eyes are straight......"
Zhou Shaojin gradually walked away, the discussion became smaller and smaller, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl.
Thinking that if these words were heard by Ji Hotaru, I didn't know how to be angry!
She entered the upper room with a smile on her face.
Mrs. Chu was talking to the mother-in-law on the stove about something, and when she saw Zhou Shaojin walking in, she smiled and said, "What happy event did you encounter this early in the morning?" I was so happy that I couldn't close my mouth, tell me to hear it, and let me be happy too! ”
The mother-in-law on the stove smiled even more flatteringly: "Miss Second Cousin smiles like this, it is even more like a flower, it is really beautiful!" ”
Zhou Shaojin admitted that he would be very happy when he heard others praise Cheng Chi, but is it so obvious?
She couldn't help touching her face and said with a smile: "This morning seems to be the same as usual, and there is nothing special?" ”
The mother-in-law on the stove said: "Miss Second Cousin must be happy because the uncle is going to get married!" ”
This woman is really good at talking.
Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips and smiled.
Mrs. Chu asked her: "Uncle Xu understands Yuan, what are the arrangements over there in the long house?" ”
"I don't know!" Zhou Shaojin said with a smile, "I live in the Hanbi Mountain House, and after Mrs. Yuan came back, Mrs. Guo handed over the middle feed of the long house to Mrs. Yuan. What are Mrs. Yuan's plans, it seems that she has not discussed with the old lady yet. However, the old lady meant that there was no need to celebrate, and the family could just get together for a meal. ”
Mrs. Chu smiled when she heard this: "After all, the old lady is through something, and she is really calm. If it were me, I would have set up a stage at the door to sing a big drama for a few days. ”
Zhou Shaojin laughed.
There is a mother-in-law who probes her brain outside the door.
Zhou Shaojin recognized it as a mother-in-law sweeping the floor in the outer courtyard, and asked her with a smile: "But what's the matter?" ”
She walked in solemnly, bowed to Mrs. Chuda and Zhou Shaojin, and muttered; "Mrs. Eldest Lady, Miss Second Cousin, I heard that Mrs. Bai is sick, and her family is selling fields, and some of them are still ancestral property......"
In the early years, Mrs. Bai Da and Sifang got close, and the estrangement was only a matter of these two years, and it was after Cheng Lu went to Yuelu Academy. In the eyes of others, Mrs. Bai is widowed and her son is not at home, so it is natural to close the door tightly, and it is normal to have less contact with the fourth room. I didn't realize that in fact, Sifang and Cheng Lu's family no longer interacted. Something happened to Cheng Lu's family, and the servants would definitely come to talk to Mrs. Chu when they heard it.
Mrs. Chu and Zhou Shaojin were both taken aback, and the two looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time.
Cheng Lu's family can also be regarded as wealthy. What kind of illness did Mrs. Bai have to sell her land, and some of them are ancestral property!
The eldest lady said to the mother-in-law: "You can't talk nonsense, you can take it to heart for the time being, and wait until I ask the eldest master before making a conclusion." Then she was given a handful of copper coins.
The mother-in-law left with great gratitude.
Mrs. Chu immediately asked Cheng Wei to come in and told Cheng Wei about the matter.
Cheng Wei obviously heard about it for the first time, and was very surprised. Immediately, he said, "I'll let people inquire." ”
Although the two families have almost broken off contact. can not write two "Cheng" words, in the eyes of people in Jinling City, Cheng Lu is still a child of the Cheng family. Cheng's mother fell ill. At the point of selling the land and selling the land, even if Jiuru Lane didn't take out the money to help him get through the difficulties, he couldn't let the ancestral property of the Cheng family fall into the hands of others, and he should buy the property that Cheng Lu was going to sell. Especially the four-room that is very close to Cheng Zhen. If there is no movement at all, it will inevitably make people misunderstand that it is too thin.
Mrs. Chu nodded. Worriedly, he sent Cheng Wei away, thought about it in the house, left Zhou Shaojin in Hanqiu Pavilion, and went to Mrs. Guan by himself.
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart.
In his previous life, Cheng Lu was after being removed from the Cheng family. sold the property to Sanfang and left Jinling City with his mother Dong.
In this life, since he is facing the dilemma of being removed, he will not be able to enter the office in the future. It is reasonable to cherish the ancestral property more, how can you sell the ancestral property?
Cheng Zhen over there. What the hell is going on?
She always thought that Dong's illness was Cheng Lu's illness, could it be that Dong's was really sick?
Or is there some conspiracy on Cheng Chen?
Finally waited for the evening, Cheng Wei came in and saluted Mrs. Guan and Mrs. Chu with a calm face, and said, "I have inquired clearly." Mrs. Bai Da is really sick, and Mrs. Zhou went to ask for a consultation. But Mrs. Bai's illness is very strange, sometimes good and sometimes bad, Mrs. Zhou can't say what the disease is, what Dr. Zhou means, it's best to go to the capital and ask a royal doctor to see. Cheng Xiangqing rushed back three days ago, and now he is serving at home, and the sale of land is all carried out by Zhao Dahai, the entourage of Cheng Xiangqing. Before I came, I went to meet Brother Chi Congdi and the ancestor of the second room. Brother Chi Congdi said that if it really came to this point, he could give five hundred taels of silver to fund Cheng Xiangqing. The ancestor of the second room said that he could buy Cheng Lu's property......"
Old Lady Guan frowned when she heard this.
Cheng Chi was willing to pay five hundred taels of silver, but the ancestor of the second room wanted to buy Cheng Lu's property...... The high and low are immediate.
She groaned: "Then you can go and pass a message to Cheng Xiangqing." He said to Mrs. Baida, "You can bring some tonic medicine to see Mrs. Baida, which can be regarded as the love of the two families." ”
Cheng Wei and Mrs. Chu responded "yes" in unison, and Mrs. Guan shook her head and sighed, and was helped into the inner room by Zhou Shaojin.
Zhou Shaojin comforted Mrs. Guan: "Don't worry too much, everyone is helping them, they will get through this difficulty!" ”
Mrs. Guan bowed her head abruptly and said: "Or as I get older, I now believe more and more that good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. This person is still good to be kind to others. ”
This is to say that Mrs. Bai Da suddenly fell ill, right?
Zhou Shaojin didn't squeak, but he was always very suspicious in his heart.
Back at the Hanbi Mountain House, she went to the Listening Oriole Pavilion.
Cheng Chi was practicing calligraphy under the lamp, and when he heard the movement, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Is it for Cheng Lu's business?" ”
Under the dim light, the shallow smile in his eyes is like the warm sun in winter, which makes people intoxicated.
Zhou Shaojin was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
Cheng Chi smiled: "You leave him alone." Dong is pretending to be sick, so that Cheng Lu has an excuse to sell his ancestral property to study politics. ”
Zhou Shaojin blinked his eyes and said, "Has it come to this point?" ”
Cheng Chi's smile was thicker, his voice was gentle, and he said, "Don't worry, no matter who he looks for, it's useless." ”
Zhou Shaojin naturally believed it, she was just a little confused, and felt that this happened too suddenly.
Cheng Chi smiled: "Not suddenly. He can make this decision at his age, which can be regarded as decisive and strategic. ”
He looked like he was very old.
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but slander in his heart, pouted, and said, "Then I'll go!" ”
