Fan Qi thanked him again and half-sat on the stool.

Zhou Shaojin asked him with a smile: "Have you seen your mother?" ”

"I've seen it." Fan Qi said respectfully, "When I came back, I was wearing a robe with a silk squirrel collar, and I was afraid that my mother would be suspicious, so I went home first to freshen up, and then I went into the house to talk to my mother." ”

It's an old practice.

Zhou Shaojin agreed. When the Spring Festival Gala was over, and the refreshments were gone, she asked about Fan Qi's trip to the capital.

Or he was very satisfied with his trip, Fan Qi couldn't hold back anymore, and his eyebrows fluttered when he talked about his trip, and changed back to his original appearance: "...... The people of the Ji family didn't expect that they would be lost by me all of a sudden...... I pondered the words of the second lady carefully, and felt that at my age, I was afraid that I would not be able to suppress those old fritters who had become fine. When I was on the road, I was almost asked by the people of the Ji family! But I thought about it, but the second lady's method was the most feasible. I didn't have an idea for a while, and when I saw that the people of the Ji family were walking outside, they all respected the clothes first and then looked at the people, so I simply bought a few good clothes, hired someone to pretend to be my elder, and pretended to be a young owner to live in the Shangqing Palace. Thinking about finding out the affairs of the Mu and Lin families first, I will talk about it.

"I never thought that a miscellaneous servant surnamed Yang in the Shangqing Palace turned out to be a confidant, and later committed a crime and was demoted to the miscellaneous servant, he likes to brag and not talk about it, and he likes to drink two cups of wine. I first wanted to ask him more about things, so I often invited guests to buy some food and wine and food for him, and then I found out that he had a very good relationship with some people in the Taoist temple, so I wanted him to help me introduce a Taoist priest who traveled in the Shangqing Palace......"

He recounted what had happened, and at the end, he laughed himself: "...... I didn't think that in the end, I didn't say anything about giving money, but he couldn't swallow it. Thinking of a way, I also want the Mu family to marry their daughter. Also said. After the eldest lady of the Mu family got married, he had to go to the most upscale ready-to-wear shop in the capital 'Hua Xiangrong' to buy a golden robe, and embroider the Tai Chi gossip diagram on the back. If you walk in front of the Mu family again, you will definitely have to donate dozens of taels of silver to the Shangqing Palace. ”

Zhou Shaojin was surprised and delighted when he heard it.

I was shocked by the twists and turns of things. The good thing is that Fan Qi is clever and bold, and he finally got this thing done.

She couldn't help but fold her hands and chanted "Amitabha" to the west, saying "Thank you Bodhisattva for your blessing".

Fan Qi hesitated when he saw it: "Second Miss, do you want to believe it?" I heard those Taoist priests say that bodhisattvas cultivate in the next life, and they are healthy. A person with a good life like Miss should cultivate this life. Seek immortality. ”

Zhou Shaojin was stunned.

Fan Qi stayed in Shangqing Palace for a few days, couldn't he have listened to the words of those Taoist priests and converted to Taoism?

In case he goes crazy and wants to leave home, what will Fan's mother do?

She hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I'll talk about this later, I'll talk about it later." Then he praised him and said, "Fortunately, you went, if it were a different person, I am afraid that things would not be so smooth." You've had a hard time working this time. You have a good rest these days, and I also gave Fan's mother a leave in advance, and you mother and son have a good talk. Wait for the Lantern Festival. I'm afraid you still have to go to the capital - since you told the Taoist priest surnamed Yang that it will pass next year, you might as well treat this matter as a joke and find a way to let the person surnamed Yang go around it. Let the eldest lady of the Mu family marry into the Lin family. ”

Fan Qi thought the same way. He said: "If it weren't for the fear that my mother would be suspicious, I would have waited until the eldest lady of the Mu family got married and came back." As he spoke, he took out a purse from his pocket and said, "Second Miss, my food and accommodation are all from the family, and when I lived in the Shangqing Palace, it was enough to spend two taels of silver, but I thought I was pretending to be a young owner, so I gave them five taels of silver." Then there was the Taoist priest surnamed Yang who drank and ate, and it cost about fifteen taels of silver. He said that he would ask his brother to help him fulfill his lie, and I gave him another twenty taels of silver. There is also money for hiring a sedan chair, money for buying snacks, and money for hiring people...... It totaled sixty-seven taels of silver. Here are the remaining four hundred and thirty taels of silver and the broken silver, all here! ”

Zhou Shaojin was overjoyed. Said generously: "You take it!" You still have to go to Beijing in the spring, and when you come back, you will settle it with me. ”

Fan Qi refused, and said honestly: "I'm afraid of losing it." Don't you know, I didn't know how much silver it would cost to go to the capital before, so I only took out five silver tickets of ten taels, and the other four hundred taels of silver tickets, I rolled them into rolls and sewed them in the cracks of my underwear, and touched them every two hours. You should keep this silver ticket. I'll ask you again when I go. ”

Zhou Shaojin could understand his fear.

In her previous life, when she escaped from Jinling City, she only brought her own two hundred taels of silver, thinking that as long as she had these two hundred taels of silver, she would be able to find her sister, and if she didn't have these two hundred taels of silver tickets, she might never see her sister again in the future. At that time, she was afraid that the silver would fall or be stolen in the eyes of those idle gangs, so she repeatedly told Fan Liu to hide the silver.

"That's good." She smiled and accepted the silver ticket, turned around and took twenty silver tickets of ten taels of silver and handed them to Fan Qi, and said with a smile, "This is the two hundred taels of silver I promised you." Because it is the Chinese New Year, the stewards are very busy, and the ten acres of high-quality paddy fields that have been promised will only be talked about when you come back. ”

Fan Qi blushed and said, "Second Miss, my business hasn't been done yet!" You can reward me again when I come back from the capital. ”

"You just take it." Zhou Shaojin stuffed the silver ticket to him and said with a smile, "It's just right to have a good New Year." ”

Fan Qi didn't dare to push, so he only accepted it.

Zhou Shaojin gave him another box and said, "There is a golden hairpin and a pair of gold bracelets in it." The golden hairpin is for your mother, and the gold bracelet is one for you and your brother, and it is used when you marry your daughter-in-law. ”

"Thank you, Second Miss." Fan Qi got up and kowtowed to Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin accepted it with a smile and let the Spring Festival Gala send him out.

Shi Xiang muttered in a low voice: "The two hundred taels of silver tickets that Mrs. rewarded have not been rewarded before the hot money is paid, according to your situation, I think even the gold and silver mountains will not be able to withstand your toss." ”

Zhou Shaojin solemnly put the purse returned by Fan Qi on the table, and said lightly: "There are a total of four hundred and thirty taels of silver tickets here, four hundred taels of silver tickets are put away, and the thirty taels of silver tickets will be exchanged for some silver bills from my aunt, I am afraid that I will reward people this year." The rest of the broken silver...... You are very careful these days, so go buy some snacks and share them! ”

The Spring Festival Gala was overjoyed, and he turned his elbow to apply incense.

Shi Xiang blushed and lowered her head stupidly.

Zhou Shaojin forced a smile into the inner room, changed his clothes, and went to the Hanbi Mountain House to copy the scriptures.

Jasper was waiting for her at the intersection.

When he saw her from afar, he greeted her, smiled and bowed to her, and said, "The fourth master is going to move to my side, and the chief manager Qin is leading people to clean up the Liyin Pavilion behind him, and set up a fence in the Hanbi Mountain House. The old lady was afraid that those rough people would collide with Miss Second Cousin, so she specially asked me to wait for you here. ”

Zhou Shaojin was surprised and said, "Why did Uncle Chi suddenly move to the Hanbi Mountain House to live?" ”

"Maybe it's a big place in the courtyard and there are few people serving, right?" Biyu smiled, "I heard from the people who used to be on an errand in the fourth master's house that the fourth old man remembered the old, and the people around him used it for seven or eight years. Those little servants and entourages are okay to say, but we maids are going to be released when they are old, and the fourth master is reluctant to enter people, so he has to live in first. ”

"That's right." Zhou Shaojin said with a smile, "Several of you are ingenious and knowledgeable, rather than being a big girl from other places, it is better to let you serve." However, then you will have to work harder and harder. ”

"This is originally the duty of slaves and maids, where is the word 'hard'."

Biyu talked to her as she went to the Hanbi Mountain House.

Zhou Shaojin soon saw the indigo coarse cloth curtains.

As they walked inside the fence, they could hear a man's voice outside saying noisily: "Hurry up, hurry up, Chief Qin said that it must be done before dark." After finishing it, each person will be rewarded with one tael of silver, and if you can't finish it, each person will be given one tael of silver. It's two taels of silver outside here. Two taels of silver! You can buy a floral padded jacket for your daughter-in-law. ”

There was laughter outside.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help laughing, feeling that this person was very good at talking.

Biyu said: "This is the land steward in the house." When he was a child, he accidentally smoked his throat and spoke like a duck, but it was easy for people to remember him. ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled and bowed his head.

A person suddenly walked out from behind the fence next to him.

Zhou Shaojin and Biyu were both startled.

Biyu even stopped Zhou Shaojin behind him, shouting loudly, "Who is it".

"It's me!" The people who come are lively and authentic.

Zhou Shaojin Dingqing saw that it was Jiying.

She couldn't help but pat her chest and said, "You scared me a lot." ”

Ji Ying said: "Who is here to surround this fence, I turned around for a long time, and I almost got lost." As she spoke, she smiled at Zhou Shaojin and said, "The fourth master said that he wanted to move here to live in the Liyin Pavilion, I thought that you would come over every afternoon to copy the scriptures, and I came to tell you a special one." It'll be convenient for you to find me in the future! ”

Zhou Shaojin giggled and took back Biyu's arm: "We already knew!" ”

Ji Hotaru glared angrily.

Everyone laughed and went to the main room.

Ji Hotaru wants to go and see where the ori sound hall is: "...... I'm going to choose a secluded place to stay. ”

Biyu told her: "You go to the south, there is a three-wide wing room over there, you can see the lotus pond when you push the window, and a few pomegranate trees are planted behind the house. ”

"Pomegranate trees?" Ji Hotaru's eyes lit up, "You have a pomegranate tree here." I haven't seen a flower in years. ”

Of course, this is an exaggeration.

Biyu covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "I heard Mama Shi once say that those pomegranate trees were planted by the fourth master when he was a child, baby!" ”

"Then I'm going to live there." Ji Ying listened and whispered to Zhou Shaojin, "Then the pomegranate tree is full of various colored sachets and purses, and I think Cheng Zichuan has to sè." ”

Zhou Shaojin couldn't cry or laugh, and waved goodbye to Ji Ying.
