Chapter 220: Mess
Zhou Shaojin poked his head in front of Cheng Chi's cabin door.
Cheng Chizheng and Mr. Song had a lively conversation: "It is impossible for the imperial court to come up with so much money to use waterwheels to irrigate and cultivate fields to reduce flooding. In my opinion, rebuilding the embankment is the way to go......"
Zhou Shaojin secretly stuck out his tongue in his heart, and was about to shrink his head, when Cheng Chi suddenly looked over and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”
He seemed to be still indulging in the discussion with Mr. Song just now, his eyes were deep, his expression was cold, and he looked extremely strict.
Could it be that this is usually what Uncle Chi looks like when he talks about serious things?
Zhou Shaojin secretly thought and said with a smile: "I made a new type of dim sum in the kitchen, I was about to ask you if you want dim sum?" ”
The dim sum was actually made by herself.
"We don't eat snacks." Cheng Chi said solemnly, "I have something to do with Mr. Song, you can keep it for yourself!" ”
The implication is that she should not disturb them.
Old Mr. Song nodded when he heard this, and asked her to hurry up.
Looks like this won't work!
Zhou Shaojin coughed lightly and retreated.
The next day, Cheng Chi was still talking to Mr. Song with the door closed.
Zhou Shaojin asked them if they wanted tea.
As a result, Cheng Chi hadn't spoken yet, and Mr. Song had already pointed to the teacup in front of him and said, "This Longjing is good, as soon as I drink it, I know that it is before the Ming Dynasty, I don't need to change it, I'll drink this." ”
Zhou Shaojin had no choice but to retreat again.
On the third day, Cheng Chi and Mr. Song took an abacus and calculated something in the house.
Zhou Shaojin took advantage of their free time to go in and ask them, "...... The boatmen caught fresh small fish and shrimp, and they were ready to be wrapped in flour and fried to eat in the Spring Festival Gala, do you want to bring you a plate in? ”
"No need." Cheng Chi stared at the manuscript in front of him without blinking his eyes, and said to Mr. Song, "I calculated that it was 49, how much did you calculate?" I've always felt that this number is a bit of a problem. There is no reason why the river surface is dredged, and the water potential is weakened. ”
And Mr. Song didn't look at Zhou Shaojin at all, and said, "I also think there is a problem with this number, why don't we calculate it again?" ”
Cheng Chi grabbed the abacus and tossed it up and down, and the beads were neatly returned to everyone.
He instructed Qingfeng: "Go and get us the fold of paper again." ”
Qingfeng ran to the hut next to him, came out with a knife of paper, and began to cut it into a one-foot bucket square size.
Zhou Shaojin sighed and had to retreat.
Waiting for the Spring Festival Gala outside, he hurriedly greeted him, and said nervously: "What did the fourth master say?" ”
"Didn't say anything." Zhou Shaojin said abruptly, "Uncle Chi is very busy and has no time to pay attention to us." ”
"What then?" The Spring Festival Gala frowned, "Or, you just go and say 'I'm sorry' to the fourth master?" ”
"Then you have to have that chance!" Zhou Shaojin said helplessly, "Uncle Chi has started to count the water flow again." ”
The Spring Festival Gala was quite speechless.
The fourth master counted these things and said that the six relatives did not recognize it - last time, Biyu was ordered by Mrs. Guo to make a small coat for the fourth master, and called the fourth master to try it out, and Mama Lu ran five or six times, not only did she not invite the fourth master to try on clothes in Mrs. Guo's house, but was bombed out by the fourth master.
Zhou Shaojin said: "You go and see if there are any fresh melons and fruits in the kitchen, I will try to cut a fruit bowl tomorrow and send it in, if Uncle Chi still ignores me, I can't help it." ”
The Spring Festival Gala bowed his head and went to the kitchen.
After a cup of tea, she came to Zhou Shaojin to reply: "I said that I would go ashore to buy some pears after stopping the boat tonight." ”
"Then stew pear and lily soup." Zhou Shaojin muttered, only the kitchen did it the next day, and he personally served it.
Cheng Chi frowned and walked back and forth in the room.
You can see that the progress of the arithmetic is very uncomfortable.
Zhou Shaojin felt that it was a little wrong for him to come in.
Sure enough, before she could say yes, Cheng Chi had already pointed to the coffee table next to her and said, "What are you serving here?" Let's put it there first! Then, without asking her a second question, he walked straight to the table and continued to calculate.
Mr. Song leaned on the Taishi chair next to him with a tired face, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Zhou Shaojin put the pear lily soup on the coffee table and retreated lightly.
The Spring Festival Gala looked at a joy.
Zhou Shaojin shook his head bitterly at her.
The expression of the Spring Festival Gala darkened.
Zhou Shaojin looked a little uncomfortable in his heart.
She took a deep breath and said to the Spring Festival Gala encouragingly: "Forget it, Uncle Chi has always been broad-minded, and he will definitely not care about these things with me." Let's not worry too much. What to do tomorrow or what to do! ”
That's all there is to it.
The Spring Festival Gala comforted itself and went back to the cabin with Zhou Shaojin.
Zhou Shaojin no longer went to find Cheng Chi, she accompanied Mrs. Guo as before, and when Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Shen talked about those old things, she quietly did needlework on the side.
Gradually, she also heard some smells.
Especially the anecdotes of those famous families in the south of the Yangtze River. For example, how did the Haining Gu family start, from which generation did the Zhenjiang Liao family start to prosper, which families of poetry, books and etiquette passed down from the previous dynasty have fallen now, what is the reason for the decline, and which families are more prosperous, and who brought prosperity...... Listening to Mrs. Guo, an in-law relationship between the major clans in Jiangnan slowly appeared in Zhou Shaojin's mind.
She found that if the world was small, it was as if she could meet acquaintances when she turned a corner, and even though she didn't know these people, she knew what these people had to do with her.
This gratitude is wonderful.
Zhou Shaojin listened more and more seriously.
When Mrs. Guo told Mrs. Song about this, she still had reservations, and when Mrs. Song left only Zhou Shaojin left, Mrs. Guo usually added two sentences, just these two sentences, but they always shocked Zhou Shaojin. Like last night, Mrs. Guo left her to keep her on her own, and whispered to her that Gao Yao's father-in-law Shangshu and Jinshen Hall scholar Qu Yuan were concubines, because his biological mother was very favored, and when he was ten years old, his mother-in-law took advantage of Qu's father's absence to poison his biological mother and sell it to a private house. Later, he escaped, met the head of the Shen family, was raised outside by the head of the Shen family, and gave off a son, this son Tong Guò Shantang, was taken back to the Shen family by the head of the Shen family as an adopted son, and later Qu Yuan gained momentum and found a way to find his biological mother, although the mother and son did not recognize each other, Qu Yuan took great care of his half-brother, and Qu Yuan's half-brother was Shen Qingyun, the same knowledge of Jinling...... Therefore, the successive prefects of Jinling could not move Shen Qingyun......
Zhou Shaojin remembered that his mouth was open enough to swallow an egg.
Old Madam Guo smiled casually.
Zhou Shaojin didn't fall asleep for half the night.
Did Mrs. Guo say these words to the Yuan family?
If the Yuan family knew these secrets that Mrs. Guo knew, and the Cheng family still couldn't escape the end of being beheaded, then ......
Zhou Shaojin can almost say with certainty that the Cheng family must have been involved in the affairs of the royal family, and they were also involved in a very disgraceful matter, so the Cheng family was wiped out so quickly. Otherwise, with the Cheng family's pulse and heritage, they would definitely not have fallen so quickly.
In fact, for the Cheng family clan far away in Jinling City, even if the Cheng family children in the capital committed a big mistake, they would not even let go of the people of their own family, and it didn't matter which branch and which room, as long as they lived in Jiuru Lane, they would all perish.
What scandals happened to the royal family?
The crown prince died of illness, and the imperial grandson was named the prince, but the imperial grandson, like his father, died of illness before the emperor, and the emperor was too sad and soon died, and the fourth son of the emperor inherited the throne.
Zhou Shaojin vigorously recalled the past.
The fourth prince is the winner of the benefits, so he will peel off the cocoon.
When the crown prince was in power, the biological mother of the fourth prince was neither the queen, nor was he the eldest son, and he gave people a sense of honesty and duty, and did not have any special talents, neither the heir nor the eldest son, let alone the virtuous.
Later, the prince died of illness, the second prince, the third prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince all opposed the establishment of the emperor's eldest grandson as the prince, and the emperor insisted on setting up the emperor's eldest grandson. Therefore, after the death of the imperial grandson, the four princes will win the battle with the three princes, and finally inherit the throne.
Where can I do my hands and feet?
The emperor is a very strong person, he not only has a long life, but when he reigned, the eunuch of the twenty-four yamen of the inner palace killed him if he wanted to kill and exiled if he wanted to, no one dared to say a word in front of the emperor, and several ministers and assistants of the cabinet were defeated when they agreed with the emperor, and later some people jokingly called Yuan Weichang, who served as the first assistant the longest during the emperor's reign, as "the prime minister of the turtle and crane", which means that he is as tolerant as a turtle, and his brother-in-law once laughed at Yuan Weichang because of this...... Therefore, the matter of the second prince and the third prince cannot be done by others.
That's the emperor's grandson.
When the emperor's grandson was sick, the emperor went to Mount Tai to worship for the emperor's grandson, and when he went out of Beijing and entered Beijing, he cleaned the streets, and Lin Shisheng also specially sent someone to tell her not to go out.
After the death of the emperor's grandson, it took half a year for the emperor to die.
Zhou Shaojin held his cheeks, but he really couldn't think of anything about the royal family.
Or was it because I was too far away from these things?
If she wasn't reborn, how could she know so many things about the Cheng family?
If she didn't know about the Cheng family, how could she want to get close to Uncle Chi.
If she didn't get close to Uncle Chi, how would she know that there was such a powerful person in the Cheng family!
She still tried her best to let Uncle Chi bring a message to Cheng Jing.
Cheng Jing is now a cabinet minister, and he should be more energetic than before.
It's a pity that the trick of pretending to be a Taoist priest has already been used!
But even if you haven't used it, you want to deceive Uncle Chi and Mrs. Guo...... Zhou Shaojin felt that with her ability, it was impossible.
I have to find a chance to talk to Uncle Chi!
But when will you find this opportunity?
Zhou Shaojin was very distressed, and decided to seize this opportunity to listen to Mrs. Guo talk more about those old things, she vaguely felt that Mrs. Guo was deliberately telling her.
But she has no intention of being a clan wife, so she knows that these shouldn't be of much use, right?
