Zhou Shaojin drooped his head and returned to Pingqiao Street.

Uncle Chi never showed up.

Li was very excited, and said to Zhou Shaojin: "I didn't expect Mrs. Yi's to be a girl from the Jiujiang Hong family!" The Hong family's family style is notoriously strict, and the girls and sons in the family are very angry. I listened to Mrs. Yi's tone, she has a nephew in her mother's family, because his parents died one after another, he is not engaged at the age of 20 this year, he has a good character, and he reads well. It just so happened that my third brother had a daughter, who was fifteen years old this year, and was about to talk about her in-laws. You say, do I help them make matchmaking? ”

Only then did Zhou Shaojin remember that the Li family was also from Jiangxi. But the Li family is a businessman, and the Hong family is a scholar, so it is understandable that the Li family admires the Hong family.

She felt that she had to try everything to know the result, but Mrs. Yi was a person from the second room, and the Zhou family was the in-laws of the fourth room, and she decided to stand aside with the long room in the future, if the Zhou family and the second room were involved, this matter would become very complicated.

But she looked at Li's excited face, didn't pour cold water on her, and said with a smile: "I don't know much about this matter, I think I should still ask my father - that is, it is better to talk about matchmaking, and it is better for my father to come forward." ”

Seeing that Zhou Shaojin did not object, Li's love was even higher, and she smiled: "Then do as the second lady said." He said with some emotion, "I didn't expect the second lady to agree." ”

Zhou Shaojin said curiously: "Why don't I agree!" ”

Li said: "Second Miss, don't you know, although our Li family is also a family of goodness, it is not as good as those poor families who have gone out of the study, and whenever something happens, our Li family always suffers." If the niece of the family can marry into a scholar's family, the children of the Li family will be able to go to a better private school in the future, and maybe our Li family can also have a scholar! ”

This may be one of the reasons why Li married his father!

Zhou Shaojin thought about it, but it was not good to continue the topic. She smiled: "Father must also hope that the Li family is good, so that Youjin has more people to rely on!" ”

Li nodded with a smile and said, "Master is a very good!" ”

She spoke very sincerely. Obviously very satisfied with Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Shaojin was embarrassed and said a few words to Li. So I went back to my room.

Without my sister, the upper room with two ear rooms looks a little empty.

She sat alone in front of the bean-sized light and hooked half of the statue of Guanyin holding a bottle, listened to the three watch drums, and then stopped.

Early the next morning, Mama Yu, who was in charge of the flower room, came to ask her: "Is the two-color peony you planted yourself going to move to Baoding?" They all have buds, and they should be about to bloom in the next few days. It would be a pity if it was on the road. ”

Zhou Shaojin thought about it, went to the flower room to pick a few pots of flowers, and instructed the Spring Festival Gala and Mama Yu to go to the Hanbi Mountain House: "The two-color peony is given to Mrs. Guo." Whelan gave it to Uncle Chi. Thinking that he couldn't send Mrs. Guo instead of Mrs. Guan, he said, "Jun Zilan will be sent to her grandmother." ”

She wondered if Uncle Chi had returned.

If you change your mind, you have to tell Uncle Chi as much as possible, lest Uncle Chi make arrangements and change the hexagram on her side.

Zhou Shaojin was anxious.

But when she came back from the Spring Festival Gala, she told her that the fourth master had not come back yet.

Could it be that something is wrong?

Zhou Shaojin faintly felt that Cheng Chi was not as simple as he said, just managing the Cheng family's chores and doing business with people.

She thought of Cheng Li, the old lady in the second room who died in the hands of the Cao Gang.

Zhou Shaojin called Fan Lu in and whispered, "Do you know where the fourth master's algae garden is?" ”

Fourteen-year-old Fan Lu began to grow taller, half a head taller than Zhou Shaojin, and laughed like a naughty child. But when he was colorful, his green face had a steady and introverted face that was rare among his peers.

He said respectfully, "I don't know. But I can help Miss Two inquire. ”

After two years in the house, Zhou Shaojin only needs to do one thing as long as he does. When he thought about it now, he felt how he had been so bold back then. And when he knew that the eldest lady of the Mu family escaped because she married the uncle of the Lin family in advance, and saved his younger brothers and sisters. He had an inexplicable awe of Zhou Shaojin, and always felt that this flower-like and delicate second lady was not simple.

Because of such an attitude, in his previous life, Fan Qi was able to buy an industry that could make him worry about food and clothing when he had nothing, right?

Zhou Shaojin thought about it and said, "I heard that the fourth master went to the algae garden, you can help me bring a letter to the fourth master, saying that I have something important to find him." ”

Fan Qi didn't ask a word, and retreated.

In the evening, Fan Qi came back and said, "The fourth master is not in the algae garden. ”

Zhou Shaojin's face changed slightly, and he said, "Then have you returned to Jiuru Lane?" ”

Fan Qi said in a low voice: "It's not in Jiuru Lane." ”

Zhou Shaojin didn't close his eyes all night. I got up before dawn the next day, ready to go to the Hanbi Mountain House to have a look. I never wanted to have breakfast. The family received a reply from Zhou Zhen.

Li Shi sued her: "...... Your father wants you to go back to Baoding with me. ”

Zhou Zhen replied to the letter that Li had originally written to him.

Where is Zhou Shaojin in the mood to care about these now, she just wants to find Cheng Chi as much as possible. But the letter just gave her an excuse to go to Jiuru Lane.

The more Li knows about the Cheng family, the more she feels that the Cheng family has deep roots, and it is not unreasonable for her husband to hope that she can make friends with the Cheng family.

She thought that Zhou Shaojin wanted to take the envelope and show it to Mrs. Guan, so that Mrs. Guan would agree to go back to Baoding Mansion by herself.

Li couldn't help but tell her softly: "Don't come hard." If Guan Lao'an's face is not good-looking, you don't say anything and come back directly. lest you spoil the relationship between you and Lao An. I'll figure out the rest! ”

Zhou Shaojin thanked Li.

Just didn't wait for her to go out, and the little girl panted and delivered Zhou Zhen's second letter.

Li and Zhou Shaojin hurriedly got together and opened the letter.

Zhou Zhen's tone changed completely.

He asked Zhou Shaojin to stay in Jiuru Lane to accompany Mrs. Guan, and also asked Zhou Shaojin: "No matter how big or small, you have to listen to your grandmother's teachings, your grandmother loves you very much, and she keeps you for your good." You'll understand when you grow up. ”

I don't know if my father knows about my grandmother's intention to marry her to my cousin?

Zhou Shaojin felt that her situation was like a broken boat with thousands of holes, leaking everywhere, and if Uncle Chi didn't show up again, she would be drowned.

Mrs. Guan called Mama Wang to come over and invite them to Jiashutang to talk.

After sending Mama Wang away, Li Shi muttered: "Lao Anren wants to tell us about leaving you behind?" ”

Zhou Shaojin also guessed that this was the case.

The two of them freshened up again and went to Jiashutang.

Mrs. Guan took Zhou Shaojin's hand and greeted Li for a long time before getting to the point: "It stands to reason." You treat Shaojin like your own mother, after Chu Jin gets married, Shaojin should go back to live with you. But you know that. Shaojin was brought up by me since I was a child, and I really can't bear it. Fortunately, my aunt is meticulous. When I heard that I was going to keep Shao Jin, I agreed......"

Li is a smart person, so naturally he will not care about Mrs. Guan at this time. No matter what Mrs. Guan said, she smiled well, and when Li and Zhou Shaojin came out of Jiashutang, Mrs. Guan's impression of Li changed greatly, and she also said to Mama Wang in private: "The new lady married by my aunt is also a delicate and transparent person, and she doesn't have much trouble talking. ”

Mama Wang smiled and replied "yes".

Zhou Shaojin let out a long breath.

She finally left herself in Jiashutang.

Next, we have to find Uncle Chi.

Stopping in the sedan hall at the side door, Zhou Shaojin said to Li: "I want to go to Hanbi Mountain House." I sent potted flowers to Mrs. Guo yesterday...... At this time, I felt that something was wrong, and I wanted to find out what the old lady was talking about. ”

The Li family has a deep memory of the green eyes of the Hanbi Mountain House.

"Why did you send potted flowers to Mrs. Guo?" She urged Zhou Shaojin to say, "Go and take a look!" I'm waiting for you here. ”

"You'd better go back first!" Zhou Shaojin said, "I'm afraid that Mrs. Guo left me to speak." ”

Li Shi thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, so that I don't have to wait for you here, you go to the Hanbi Mountain House to calm down, and talk to Mrs. Guo well, so as not to cause any misunderstanding." ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded again and again, sent Li away and hurried to the Hanbi Mountain House.

Jasper was fetching water to clean the leaves of the two-color peony in the middle of the yard.

Seeing Zhou Shaojin coming, they all greeted her one after another: "I didn't expect Miss Second Cousin to actually raise a two-color peony." I heard that in addition to the two-color peony like the one in our house, there is also a branch with two peony flowers that are not colored. What kind of lady is this? ”

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly whispered: "You guys make a little noise!" I'm a branch that blooms with two peony flowers of different colors. Because I thought it was rare, I sent it over, but I forgot that the old lady didn't raise flowers. Is Uncle Chi at home? I also sent a pot of Huilan to Uncle Chi. I don't know if there was anything wrong? ”

She sighed, and Jasper and the others comforted her.

"Saying that the two-color peony has different opening methods is that the old lady sues us, if the old lady is angry, how can she tell us this? You're thinking too much! ”

"The old lady Whelan you sent over also watched it for a long time, and praised your Whelan for raising it well. also let the people in the flower house vacate a place to raise Huilan, which was used to entertain guests during the New Year. ”

"Morning! Don't worry, the old lady is not angry. ”

Zhou Shaojin calmed down, pretending to be unintentional and said, "What about Uncle Chi?" Did he say anything? ”

"Nope!" Biyu smiled, "The fourth master went to the algae garden and hasn't come back yet." Listening to Qin Ziping, the fourth master said that the summer in Jinling City was too hot. The algae garden is in the lime mountain, not only the scenery is beautiful. And it's refreshing and cool, and it's a great place to escape the heat. It's just that no one has lived in the past few years, some of the houses are old, the fourth master wants to repair that side, and invited the craftsmen from Hangzhou to see the house, and they want to overhaul it! She said, lowered her voice and whispered to Zhou Shaojin, "Maybe we can follow us to escape the summer when the time comes!" ”

But Uncle Chi isn't in the algae garden at all!

Isn't Uncle Chi serving by his side? How did the person who reported the news be Qin Ziping!

Where did Qin Zi'an go?

Zhou Shaojin was impetuous, but he didn't dare to show a trace of abnormality.

I cheered up and talked to Mrs. Guo for a long time, and then I returned to Pingqiao Street tiredly.

In the next few days, she tried her best to inquire about Cheng Chi's whereabouts, but Cheng Chi didn't know where he had gone as if he had disappeared, and no one found that Cheng Chi was missing, whether it was Mrs. Guo or anyone else.
