Chapter 446: First Arrival (The First Pink Ticket Plus in June)
Cheng Chi, who was far away in Baoding Mansion, was standing in front of the Yaze Gate of Baoding Mansion.
For the first time in his life, he felt so apprehensive.
Zhou Zhen is polite, generous and elegant, after what happened to Cheng Xu, whether he would agree to marry Zhou Shaojin, Cheng Chi was not sure at all.
Huaishan stepped forward and handed over the post.
Li was busy asking people to go to Zhou Zhen, who was dealing with official business.
Zhou Zhen was a little surprised, and asked the little guy who took the sticker in: "Didn't Mrs. say what happened?" ”
The little servant hurriedly said: "Mrs. just said to let you go back quickly, the fourth master of the Cheng family came in so anxiously, and he walked through the side door, I'm afraid there is something important." ”
Zhou Zhen put down the affairs in his hand and hurriedly returned to the back office.
He is the head of a mansion, he does not live in the government but rents a house outside, and the Zhou family is not a big family, which must make people suspect that he is greedy for ink. But in the house, Shaojin's marriage will inevitably be remembered. So when Chu Jin proposed that he wanted Shao Jin to stay in the capital and find a suitable marriage for Shao Jin in the capital, he only put forward the requirement that Shao Jin should not be allowed to marry far away. When Jiuru Lane was divided, what he was most worried about was that the relationship between the fourth room and the second room had become weaker and weaker over the years because of Shaojin, and now that the long house has settled in the capital, the fourth room has lost the support of the long house, will it be affected.
Zhou Zhen wrote several letters to ask in the fourth room.
Within a few days, he received a letter from Cheng Yuan, a sophomore in the fourth room who was an official outside, saying that he might be transferred to Liuzhou, Guangxi in the near future, and hinting to Zhou Zhen that this position was recommended by Cheng Jing.
Although Guangxi is not a good place, Liuzhou is not bad. What's more, it was promoted from the county order of the seventh grade to the general judgment of the sixth grade.
Later, Mrs. Guo came to Beijing and called Shaojin to accompany her.
He thought that Cheng Xu was not in the capital, and Mrs. Guo was in such a big disaster, so he must be in a very bad mood, so he called Shaojin to be his companion. He assumed that he did not know, and said nothing.
At this time, Cheng Chi visited him suddenly...... I don't know if something happened to Shaojin or something happened to the Cheng family?
Cheng Chi only waited in the flower hall for a while, and when he saw Zhou Zhen, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
Zhou Zhen was even more uneasy in his heart.
Cheng Chi is a young man, and he is loved by his two brothers and Cheng Xun, although he is not proud and self-controlled, but he is not a good person, why did he suddenly respect him so much?
Could it be that what Cheng Chi asked for would make it difficult for him?
Zhou Zhen pondered in his heart, but his face was not obvious, he smiled and invited Cheng Chi to sit down, and instructed the maid to ask the Li family for his treasured big red robe to entertain guests, and then greeted Cheng Chi: "When did Brother Zichuan arrive at Baoding Mansion?" Did you have breakfast? Where to stay? Having said this, he blurted out that he wanted Cheng Chi not to see him outside and live with him, and then he thought that the Cheng family and the Zhou family were not the same as in the past, and he and Cheng Chi were not familiar with each other, so it was too intimate to say such words, and his tone was slight, so he took this sentence back, and said, "I don't know what Brother Zichuan is looking for me?" If you're not in a hurry, why don't you stay for lunch? Baoding Mansion is not as good as Jinling, and even less than Beijing, there is nothing to eat. Fortunately, the chef in my house came from Jiangxi, and a few Jiangxi dishes were very authentic. I also have a small jar of pear blossom white here, which is the best wine to go to. ”
Brother Zichuan......
It used to be deserved, but now it ......
Cheng Chi felt a little embarrassed, but this embarrassment was just a momentary effort.
Since he has decided to marry Shaojin, he will face a lot of things.
Title, it's just one of them!
He smiled and said, "Lord Zhou doesn't have to be polite. I'm here for personal matters. ”
It's "Lord Zhou" again.
Zhou Zhen frowned secretly.
Since Cheng Chi wants to draw a line with him, he doesn't have to be the marriage of Cheng's family.
It's just that after the Li family came back from the capital, they pushed Cheng Chi twice, saying that they had been taken care of by Cheng Chi, and Mrs. Guo also gave Shaojin a house that was originally going to be given to Cheng Chi, giving them face in front of the Liao family, and also helped the uncle of the Li family to introduce the great eunuch of the Inner Mansion Wine and Vinegar Bureau, and now he has started a business with the Inner House, and the person who let him go to the long house must thank him no matter what...... That's why he has so much respect for Cheng Chi.
If you talk about identity and status, he is a jinshi of the Bingxu family, Cheng Chi is a jinshi of the Renchen family, and he also has two subjects of elevation pool!
He picked up the teacup and took a sip quietly.
Cheng Chi said with a smile: "The world says that orchids are not easy to raise. But I always felt that my family was unfair to me, why should my eldest brother and second brother study and enter the office, my talent for reading is no worse than theirs, but I have to be confined to the family to take care of chores for a lifetime. The mood is always very irritable, and I don't feel good about what I see. My mother gave me a pot of Jianlan and asked me to put it on the bookcase and raise it well.
"I don't care.
"When you're in a good mood, you water it, and when you're in a bad mood, even Na Jianlan feels dry.
"I feel that it is evidence that my cultivation is not enough to reach home.
"A few times people threw it in the garden and got it back.
"Slowly, I don't know if it's because I'm used to it, or if Jianlan is still alive after being treated like this by me, I can't help but start paying attention to it, and occasionally put it on the windowsill to breathe.
"But after more than a month's effort, the pot Jianlan is slim, tall and beautiful.
"I often prune and water it.
"Gradually, I found it very interesting to raise flowers.
"It grows tender leaves and stretches out when it is comfortable, and every time I look at it, it is a little different, or the young branches that stretched out to the east a few days ago have begun to grow towards the west in the past two days, or the leaves under the pressed branches have unconsciously poked out, revealing the tips of the tender green leaves...... It's like a timid child, playful and playful when I'm not looking at it......
"It suddenly dawned on me that raising flowers is also a lot of fun.
"If you can calm down, you'll see a lot of differences.
"My biggest pleasure now is playing with flowers and plants.
"And the longer you spend playing with flowers and plants, the more affection you have for them.
Cheng Chi's voice lowered little by little: "Look at my sadness, look at my sadness, look at my sadness, but silently accompany me ......"
Zhou Zhen didn't know what Cheng Chi was talking about at all.
He blinked his eyes, and said in his heart, could there be something wrong with the fourth master of the Cheng family in the long room, otherwise a good two-list jinshi would not let him be an official but detain him at home......
He had no choice but to take another silent sip of tea.
Cheng Chi stood up, his expression was sincere and sincere, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhou, I want to hire the second lady of the house as my wife, please allow me!" ”
Zhou Zhen opened his mouth and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Flowers and ...... Shaojin?
What do you mean?
Marry Shaojin as a wife?
is to marry Shao Jin as a wife!
Zhou Zhenteng stood up all of a sudden and said, "What did you say?!" ”
The voice was sharp and sharp, and it was a little panicked and overwhelmed.
He asked again: "Do you want to marry Shaojin?" ”
Cheng Chi nodded and said seriously: "Yes!" I want to marry Shaojin, please get married! ”
His daughter, a daughter as delicate as a flower, was actually coveted by Cheng Chi, who was his uncle...... What did Changfang do to Shaojin?
Zhou Zhen's blood poured all towards his head.
His face flushed: "Impossible! Don't even think about it! I won't marry my daughter to you......"
What about Chu Jin?
Does she know that Cheng Chi covets Shaojin?
She wrote to him to leave Shaojin in the capital, was it a coincidence or premeditated?
And Lee's.
When she stayed in the capital for so long, she came back and praised Cheng Chi vigorously...... He thought of the Li family's eldest uncle's business...... Does she really not know? Or did he make a deal with Cheng Chi because he found something?
Zhou Zhen was so angry that his fingers were trembling, and he pointed at Cheng Chi and shouted: "Get out!" Get out of here! Don't get my place dirty! ”
Cheng Chi knew that he didn't have good fruit to eat. Wen Yan took a deep breath and said, "Lord Zhou, I really love Ling Ai, and I respect her and you very much. Miss Tuesday has a gentle and pure temperament, and treats people gently and generously......"
"Get out! Get out of here! Zhou Zhen was furious when he heard Cheng Chi speak, and he pointed to the door, "You get out of here now!" For the sake of Mrs. Guo's face, "Maybe Mrs. Guo knew, but he only felt that he was even more angry, and said, "I will treat this incident as if it didn't happen...... Changgui, Changgui," he shouted the name of his entourage, "I'll have someone go and fetch Shaojin back." From now on, our Zhou family and your Cheng family will no longer have anything to do with each other......"
Zhou Zhen was even more excited than Cheng Chi imagined.
At this time, he should retreat as advance, and leave first.
Zhou Chujin saw that he didn't hear back from the first letter, he would definitely write a second letter, if he left, until Zhou Zhen received Zhou Chujin's letter, he didn't know how to punish Shaojin.
His feelings overrode reason at this point.
Cheng Chi took a few steps forward and slid towards Zhou Zhen to the end, and said sincerely: "Lord Zhou, please don't be impatient......
Zhou Zhen didn't bother to listen, and he ordered Li Changgui, who hurried over, with an old and dead look: "Drive him out for me!" He brushed his sleeves away and ran all the way to the inner house.
Li Shi is happily planning to hold a banquet with Mama Li to entertain Cheng Chi for lunch: "This stone chicken is a specialty of Jiangxi, and my brother specially sent it." It's much better than other stone chickens. This plain stone chicken has to be made into a bowl. There is also the fat fish head of Poyang Lake, and the bamboo and bacon have to be made a little ......."
The door curtain suddenly "clanged", and Zhou Zhen walked in with a full face of anger.
Li Shi was dissatisfied, and hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Master! ”
Zhou Zhen shouted heavily: "Give me all out!" ”
Mama Li exchanged a look with Li worriedly, and walked out of the upper room with the maid and woman serving in the house.
Zhou Zhen erupted at this time: "What did you do when you were in the capital?" "It's not good for him to tell the Li family about his daughter, for fear that Shaojin's matter will be spread by others," Why did Cheng Chi introduce business to the Li family's uncle? also gave the house in Yuqian Hutong to Shaojin? Does Mrs. Guo know about the house? Are there anything you haven't told me? ”
He was skeptical.
But Chu Jin and the Li family both said that it was Mrs. Guo's dowry to Shaojin, and he thought it was Mrs. Guo's gift to Shaojin for Cheng Xu's affairs...... Now it seems, but not necessarily!
