"I'm afraid something is wrong with this." Zhou Zhen pondered.

Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened: "What's wrong?" ”

Now that his daughter is helping Mrs. Guo in the long room to copy the scriptures, he also wants to improve the value of her daughter, compared with the second and third rooms, Zhou Zhen is naturally more inclined to the long house.

It's okay to ask your daughter to help answer the long house!

Zhou Zhen made up his mind, and Zhengse said: "No matter how prominent the family is, the financial, material and personal resources are limited, only the best children of this family can get the support of the family, but even so, because of the 'plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky', other outstanding families will not give up." Master Chi Si of the long room, I have only met twice before and have never spoken. But this time ...... meeting," he frowned, "not to mention that he has a meritorious reputation, just this way of acting, steady and flexible, meticulous and hearty, is an extremely appropriate and thoughtful person, better than many of his peers I have seen, and even many older than him, how can the Cheng family let him take care of the family's chores instead of becoming an official?" Isn't that a waste? ”

You know, it's not easy to provide a jinshi at home.

"Father thinks so too?" Zhou Shaojin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said, "I also think it's very strange." I can listen to the people in Jiuru Lane say that it is because the eldest and second masters of the long house are both officials outside, and no one takes care of the housework. ”

"Isn't there another Cheng Jiashan?"

"But Cheng Jiashan is the head of the case!" Zhou Shaojin muttered cautiously.

Zhou Zhen disagreed, and said: "He is only the head of the case so far, but the fame of the fourth master of Chi has really been taken into his hands." ”

Oh, yes!

Instead of waiting for Cheng Jiashan to raise people and jinshi in the examination, I don't know how many years it will take, but Cheng Chi is already ready for everything, and only the east wind is owed.

It must be that the Yuan family thought of a way to keep Cheng Chi at home for the sake of his son.

Zhou Shaojin guessed maliciously, but still said with his conscience: "Cheng Jiashan is the grandson of the long house, he wants to take care of the housework, so when Uncle Jing and them become officials, who will support the long house?" ”

Zhou Zhen smiled: "According to what you say, then isn't our Zhou family going to drink the northwest wind?" ”

Zhou Shaojin condensed.

Their Zhou family, the father is an official outside, the two daughters are fostered in their grandmother's house, the family's affairs are all dependent on Ma Fushan, not only did not shorten their sisters' food and clothing, but the family's assets increased year by year, and when the sister got married, the father had the ability to buy 300 acres of paddy fields for the sister in Huzhou as a dowry.

You must know that the south is not better than the north, there are more people and less land, and the family has seven or eight acres of land that is already a rich family, and three hundred acres of paddy fields are worthy of a few large farms in the north.

Zhou Zhen said: "Cheng Chi is only twenty-five years old this year, if there is no accident, when he becomes a scholar, it will be at least thirty years later, maybe forty years later, at that time Cheng Jiashan is afraid that he will have grandchildren, right?" Even if he thinks that Cheng Jiashan is a seed of study, and he is reluctant to delay his future, doesn't Master Wei still have a son? Why don't you send him back to his hometown to follow Master Chi Si to learn to take care of housework, there is a competent steward at home, and Mrs. Guo is on the side, he is a mud, and he can fool for a few years. What's more, the official eunuch's family is not here at all, as long as the three brothers of the Changfang have a long career, the Cheng family's general affairs will not fall. I understand this truth, it is impossible for the ancestor of the Cheng family's second room and Mrs. Guo not to know! ”

As he spoke, he stood up with a heavy heart, walked back and forth in the room twice before standing still, and asked Zhou Shaojin: "Do Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Yuan know that Master Chi Si did not attend today's banquet?" How did they react? ”

Zhou Shaojin looked at his father strangely and said, "Don't you know? Mrs. Guo didn't attend at all, and Mrs. Yuan came over to sit for a while and left. It was Li Lao'an in the second room, who led Aunt Lu and others to accompany his wife. ”

Mrs. Guo had not seen guests many years ago on the grounds of widowhood, so people who came to visit the Cheng family would be proud to see Mrs. Guo. The last time they went to visit the long house, everyone thought that it would be the end of Mrs. Yuan, but they didn't expect Mrs. Guo to entertain the Li family in person. That's why Zhou Zhencai said that they were all stained with Zhou Shaojin's light.

"I see!" Zhou Zhen listened and said thoughtfully, "There is something that I'm afraid you don't know." After the noon banquet, Mr. Ze called me to his study, and formally introduced my cousin Cheng Youyi to me, and asked him to serve on the side, and talked with me for a few rounds. It not only mentions some of his old man's protégés in the capital, but also mentions the people of the Hong family and the Huang family......"

What does that mean?

Wooing a father?

Is it because of this, so Cheng Xu personally came forward to entertain his father, and used such a high specification to let all the men at home in Jiuru Lane accompany him.

But my father is just the prefect of Baoding, and he is still far from Jiuqing's position...... Cheng Xu is not afraid of stealing chickens and losing a handful of rice?

"So, what do you say?" Zhou Shaojin said dryly.

Cheng Xu didn't use a good Cheng Chi, but he yelled and yelled for his grandson, who only showed off his fame, and sold favors everywhere!

Isn't Mrs. Guo a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go? I don't care!

Cheng Chi, who is so arrogant, must disdain to fight for himself. But if he doesn't fight, there is Cheng Xu in front of him, Cheng Zhi in the future, and there is a Cheng Xu next to him, and he will have to take care of the affairs in the Cheng family for the rest of his life.

So what's the use of working hard to get a jinshi out?

No wonder she had no impression of this Uncle Chi in her previous life!

In the end, the Cheng family was raided and exterminated, and Uncle Chi fled, and he turned his head and robbed the court...... It must be because Cheng Xu is the grandson of Cheng's family. Otherwise, he would definitely live a safe and stable life by being incognito, so why would he be hunted down and killed by the imperial court? Cheng Xu said that Cheng Xu broke an arm, could Uncle Chi also be injured...... I only hated myself for not knowing who Uncle Chi was at that time, and I didn't ask......

Zhou Shaojin thought about it, and felt very upset for Cheng Chi in his heart, and his mouth pouted unconsciously, and said: "Daddy, don't be the ancestor of the second room, he is Lu Buwei's 'strange goods'!" Wait for the next big exam, if you are still in the prefect of Baoding, do you think the ancestors of the second room will value you so much? ”

"Nonsense." Zhou Zhen scolded Zhou Shaojin with a smile, "Is this how 'Strange Goods Can Live'?" ”

Zhou Shaojin pouted towards his father.

Zhou Zhen couldn't help but be a little amused when he looked at it.

It seems that this little girl guessed the same as herself, several rooms of the Cheng family, except for the fourth room, she is quite partial to the long room.

"Silly girl," Zhou Zhen touched her head with a smile and said, "There are some things that can only be understood and not spoken." It is impossible for Ze Lao to say in front of me that this is my great-grandson, if you promise to take more care of him in the future, I will let my relatives, friends, and protégés take more care of you, so that your career will be smoother. I can't say that you can rest assured, as long as I have that day, I will take care of your great-grandchildren...... It's too early for anything. However," he said, his tone paused slightly, and his expression became natural, "The Cheng family is in chaos, you and your sister should be careful in the future, don't involve yourself." ”

Is the Cheng family in chaos so early?

My brother-in-law once said that everything starts to rot from the inside, and when the inside is rotten, people from the outside can usually easily attack it.

Is it because of this reason that the Cheng family will inevitably escape the fate of destroying the family?

Zhou Shaojin said: "Daddy, I have something to tell you!" ”

Zhou Zhen raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Shaojin told his father that he found that the long room and the second room seemed to be working together to suppress the third room: "...... It seems to have started from very far. You said, could Cheng Ze do something sorry for Cheng Bei and Cheng Xu? ”

Zhou Zhen was very surprised. He thought about it carefully and said, "Maybe you guessed correctly." If Cheng Ze of the third room really did something sorry for the long room and the second room, it would be reasonable for the long room and the second room to suppress him - as long as the third room does not produce a jinshi and a Jishi branch court for a day, the third room will have to rely on the people of the long room and the second room to live, and he has to worry day and night that he will be suppressed and retaliated against by the long room and the second room. ”

But in the end, Sanfang won.

If someone sues Zhou Shaojin now that she was killed in her previous life has nothing to do with Sanfang, she won't believe her if she is killed!

Zhou Shaojin was silent.

Zhou Zhen only thought that Zhou Shaojin was worried about the Cheng family, and said with a smile: "Children's family, don't think about it so much." What about the Cheng family's affairs, as well as your Uncle Jing and Uncle Wei? No matter how bad it is, you just have to go back to Zhou's house. Fathers will keep you safe. ”

Zhou Shaojin believed.

She nodded, pulled her father's sleeve, and said, "Daddy, if you find out about Cheng Lu, sue me." Cheng Lu is a very cunning person, although he was sent to Yuelu Academy by Uncle Jing, but who knows if he will have any conspiracies, we have to guard against him. ”

"Okay!" Zhou Zhen smiled, "If there is any news, I will definitely tell you when the time comes." Although the tone was concerned, he paid little attention to it, obviously not taking Zhou Shaojin's admonition to heart.

Zhou Shaojin sighed secretly in his heart.

She knew it was going to happen.

People didn't believe her much.

It would be nice if Uncle Chi was here.

He must have known what she had to say.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaojin suddenly found that Cheng Chi seemed to be special...... Caution.

Attention is paid to some small things, small details.

Does it mean that if she can gain Cheng Chi's trust, she can save the Cheng family?

It seems that he should be dangling in front of Uncle Chi more.

You have to be familiar with it!

Otherwise, why should Uncle Chi believe in himself?

Zhou Shaojin had an idea in his heart, and he didn't bother with his father's decision not to take him to office, but cared about his father: "Are you going out tomorrow?" What are you going to do? ”

"I was invited to eat food in the temple by returning to my hometown," Zhou Zhen said, thinking that it was difficult for his youngest daughter to go out, and said, "Do you and your sister want to go with me?" ”

Zhou Shaojin's head shook like a rattle, and said, "I'm not going, you can take your sister there!" ”

She went to Mochou Lake on the Midyear Festival, and she caused a lot of trouble, so she still stayed at home honestly and did needlework.
