Cheng Wen made up his mind, and on the eighth day of the eighth month of August, he went to Chaoyangmen with Wu Baozhang early in the morning.

Cheng Chi was promoted, and happened to meet his eldest son Brother Yun'er's 100-day banquet, not only the old Song Ge family came, but Cheng Chi's former boss Zhang Hui also came to make peace, and the colleagues in the Ministry of Industry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate who didn't know each other all followed, and the outer courtyard opened fifty tables and invited two opera troupes to sing there. The ladies in the inner courtyard only came to move around on weekdays, Tongxiang Yuan's, Shucheng Fang's, Zhenjiang Liao's, etc. all came, and there were ten tables downstairs in the Sankuo Water Pavilion, and six tables were placed upstairs, opposite the stage, singing Mrs. Guo's order "Liulang Visits Mother", and there were five or six tables of horse cranes in the regression, Zhou Chujin's mother-in-law, Mrs. Liao, and Fang Xuan's mother, Mrs. Fang Er, and others were all playing horse cranes here.

Zhou Shaojin came in and said hello, instructed the little maids to re-serve tea and snacks to the visitors, and then exchanged a few words with Mrs. Liao, and then got up and went to the water pavilion in front.

Second Mrs. Fang couldn't help but sigh secretly as she watched Zhou Shaojin's back disappear outside the door.

Zhou Shi wore a blue gown today, silver-red Baxiang inlaid with embroidered large flowers of wood brocade edge, ruddy complexion, light steps, smiled before speaking, although he had given birth to a child, but still like a little girl who had not been out of the cabinet, there was a kind of brightness and relaxation that a married woman did not have.

If only she could have lowered her head, took the initiative to talk to Mrs. Guo, and married Fang Xuan.

Or is it better to marry Fang Xuan in a less hurry...... Fang Xuan was spoiled by her, and her son-in-law also grew up in his hands. The two went to a pot to eat, and no one let anyone, even the family blamed - the son-in-law felt that his parents should not marry him an only daughter, and Fang Xuan felt that the family should not marry her so hastily.

Thinking of her daughter's haggard little face when she returned to her parents' house last time, Second Mrs. Fang's heart ached faintly.

But what else can be said about it?

Mrs. Fang couldn't sit down anymore, thinking that it would be better to find an excuse to leave the table early, and she could go home to accompany her daughter.

Thinking about it, she looked around to find Mrs. Liao.

If you want to leave, you have to find someone to help you say hello to the host's house. Otherwise, it would be rude. Mrs. Liao is the mother-in-law of Zhou's sister. It's best for her to come forward.

Liao and a group of women surrounded her daughter-in-law, Da Zhou, who was still holding a big red swaddling cloth in her arms...... Most of them are Xiao Zhou's children!

Second Mrs. Fang hesitated slightly, but still walked over.

I heard Mrs. Peng of the Terracotta Division laughing there: "...... This kid is really handsome. I came to see the three baptisms and the full moon, and it was still a little bit at that time. This child is full moon, but it is different. A few days, a few days. The eyebrows and eyes are opened. ”

Second Mrs. Fang craned her neck to take a look.

It's really good-looking.

Not to mention, the head is jet black, and a pair of eyes are bright. With so many people surrounding him, he didn't cry or make noise, he looked around, and at first glance he was a very wise child.

Second Mrs. Fang turned over the sour water in her heart, but still called Mrs. Liao to whisper.

Mrs. Liao also more or less guessed why she was uncomfortable, persuaded her face, and personally sent Mrs. Fang out of the Hanging Flower Gate.

Mrs. Fang Er thanked her and turned around and got into the sedan chair.

Mrs. Liao was about to go to the inner courtyard, but when she looked up, she saw a forty-year-old woman wearing an oily green silk treasure vase, meticulously combing a round bun, and wearing two silk flowers, her body was as straight as a rod scale, led by the steward of the inner courtyard of the Cheng family, Biyu, with a smile, and seven or eight maids holding big red and gold boxes followed them in a row, coming to the side of the Hanging Flower Gate.

At first glance, it was a decent mother-in-law who came to send a congratulatory gift to the Cheng family.

But this mother-in-law, she has no impression at all.

If you want to say that there are only a few official eunuchs in Jiangnan, and you and I are married, I am married to you, how can you know each other......

Mrs. Liao quietly turned around and went to the inner courtyard.

She didn't want to talk to these people.

There are ** copies.

Biyu led the nurse of the four princesses forward, but her heart was beating a drum.

Since that day, the Four Princes' Mansion gave up the Zheng family's lady, Uncle Xu personally went to the Four Princes' Mansion to thank him, and the Fourth Prince's Mansion also sent someone to give gifts, but he never thought that there was no movement on the Four Princes' side, but the Four Princes and Princesses suddenly became polite, and sent a few baskets of newly listed autumn pears two days ago.

Today, Uncle Yun's 100-day gift asked his nurse to send these things.

As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you will be diligent, and if you are either a traitor or a thief, there will be no good thing.

What are these four princesses going to do?

The fourth master is just a Zuo Du imperial history of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, if the fourth prince has anything, he can go to Xinglin Hutong to return the courtesy, and ask the eldest lord to be ......

She followed Zhou Shaojin's instructions, entered the Hanging Flower Gate and walked directly to the alley next to her, and went to the main courtyard on the West Road.

Mama Shang was waiting there.

She stepped forward with a smile and politely greeted the nurse of the four princesses, took the nurse of the four princesses to the warm pavilion next to her to drink tea, instructed the Spring Festival Gala to count the gift list, auspiciously helped entertain the maids with gifts, and instructed the steward of the outer courtyard to reward the coachman who came with him and the rough envoy who accompanied the car.

The room was full of laughter and laughter, which was very lively, but it also fit the atmosphere of today.

After a while, after walking around the water pavilion, Zhou Shaojin came over.

Mama Shang took the nurse of the four princesses to the hall.

After saluting and explaining the intention, Zhou Shaojin asked people to reward the nurse of the four princesses, and said regretfully: "This is all rumors that kill people - I think that the fourth princess is the royal daughter-in-law, the most noble person in the world, and it is the child's birthday, where dare to alarm." I never thought that the four princesses were still thinking about it, and they specially sent someone to send a gift over, thinking about it, I felt very sorry in my heart. Since Mama came here on behalf of the Fourth Princess, she is equivalent to the Fourth Princess's visit in person, not only to drink a few glasses of wine with me before leaving, but also to go with me to the Water Pavilion to sit with relatives and friends before leaving. ”

The nurse of the fourth princess smiled and waved her hand when she heard this: "Where do you dare to be a wife like this." Anyway, I'm a subordinate. How can I sit with my relatives and friends in the house? And before going out, the princess also specially told me, so that I don't think that I came out of the Four Emperors' Mansion because I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and I will lose her face. The wife's kind slave and maid understood it, but she really didn't dare to take it. ”

Zhou Shaojin was not reluctant, and after the Spring Festival Gala received the gift list, she instructed Mama Shang to entertain her, and went to the academy in the front yard with a smoke.

Cheng Jing and Song Jingran were playing chess in the academy, Zhang Hui glanced at Cheng Chi, and the two of them went out of the study one after the other, and stood under the old locust tree in the courtyard.

"What's wrong with Old Lady Song's illness?" Zhang Hui said in a low voice. "I heard that the marriage date of the eldest son of the Song family has been advanced to the fourth day of the ninth month?"

Cheng Chi looked at Zhang Hui a little. said: "A few days ago, Mrs. Song came over and told Humble Jing about this. ”

If Old Lady Song dies of illness, Old Song Ge will have to worry about it, he asked Zhou Shaojin if he remembers when Old Lady Song went. Zhou Shaojin shook his head blankly. said that he didn't remember what Song Ge was worried about.

Cheng Chi guessed that Song Jingran was either called back to the capital by the emperor as soon as the system was over. Either that, or being robbed.

If it's the latter, it's easy to say, if it's the former, it's just twenty-seven months. They also have to make some preparations, after all, Yang Shoushan was not demoted to a commoner in his previous life, Qu Yuan was not impeached so early, he did not go to Putuo Mountain to worship Buddha, and he did not meet the old lady Song...... There have been too many changes in this life, and I can't rely on Zhou Shaojin's memory for a long time.

Zhang Hui said: "I don't know who the cabinet will push into the cabinet?" ”

Cheng Chi smiled: "Let's talk about it then!" Isn't that day yet coming? I think Song Ge Lao must have his own plans in his heart, let's just listen. ”

Zhang Hui wanted to speak and stopped.

Cheng Chi pretended not to see it.

If Zhang Hui is allowed to go up, in case Song Jingran returns to his hometown and guards him, and the emperor summons him back, who will come down?

Cheng Chi decided to sit on the sidelines.

Anyway, no matter who Song Jingran arranges to take over his hand, because the eldest brother is already a cabinet elder, he can't take his turn, he might as well remain neutral, no matter who worships the prime minister in the cabinet, he can't offend him lightly.

Zhang Hui was very disappointed.

Huai Shan walked in quietly, his eyes glancing towards the east wing.

Cheng Chi understood, and after a few words with Zhang Hui, he turned around under the pretext of going to the official room and entered the east wing.

Zhou Shaojin was waiting for him.

When he saw him, he ran over and couldn't help but hug Cheng Chi's waist.

Cheng Chi laughed in a low voice and kissed her cheek, then said gently: "What happened to you looking for me?" ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded, reluctant to let go, so he snuggled into Cheng Chi's arms and told Cheng Chi that the fourth prince had sent someone to congratulate Brother Yun on his birthday.

Cheng Chi said with a smile: "The four princes are much more ambitious than you know, not only me, but also several of the scholars who have been in the limelight in the Hanlin Academy in the past two years, the left of the household department, and the imperial history of the Metropolitan Inspectorate...... In the past two years, he has made a lot of friends. ”

Zhou Shaojin was a little uneasy when he heard this, and said: "I thought that the prince should not make friends with courtiers, and today there are people from the Li family in Lujiang and the Yuan family in Tongxiang, so I didn't dare to make a noise, and asked Mama Shang to bring people in from the alley next to the weeping flower gate, and also asked Mama Shang to retreat in the garden to entertain the people who came to give gifts...... The four princes want to win people's hearts, but I didn't let those people come forward, will this offend the four princes? He is the emperor in the future! ”

"Silly girl!" Cheng Chi saw that she was uneasy, so he simply kissed her forehead again and praised, "He's not the emperor yet?" You don't have to be afraid of him. Even if he becomes the emperor one day, you can see what he did to the Cheng family...... Why should I respect him? Why did he practice the Cheng family......"

Zhou Shaojin was terrified when he heard it, but he felt that Cheng Chi was such a character, and it was reasonable to say such a thing.

She asked Cheng Chi: "Then what are your plans in the future?" Do you want to help the prince heal? Or find a way to be a subordinate of the East Palace, and know his movements at any time...... "But it seems that Cheng Chi is not such a person."

If he wanted to know something, he would probably ask directly, rather than calculate it here and there.
