The loyal servant surnamed Qin, is it the ancestor of the chief manager of Qin?

Zhou Shaojin thought about it, and felt very sad in her heart.

Because of what happened to her, she likes children very much, and she can't listen to this kind of thing anymore.

Zhou Zhen said: "Cheng Lie is young, and his wife became pregnant not long after they got married. He was going to study in the capital, so his wife stayed in his hometown and gave birth to his son Cheng Xu the following year. Because he stayed in his hometown, he escaped.

"When Cheng Lie died, Cheng Xu was only three years old."

Cheng Xu, the ancestor of the Cheng family.

Zhou Shaojin was stunned and said, "How big is that Cheng Bei?" ”

Zhou Zhen smiled bitterly: "Less than two years old." ”

The children in the second room are older than those in the long room......

Zhou Shaojin asked: "Then who raised them?" ”

"It's Cheng Xu's mother, the old lady in the second room."

After Cheng Xu was promoted to the first grade, he asked his mother to seal the decree of the first product, and the family would respect her as "old lady".

Zhou Shaojin said curiously: "Shouldn't they be raised in three rooms?" How could it be the old lady in the second room? ”

Zhou Zhen hesitated for a long time and said, "I shouldn't have told you these things, but now that you live in the Cheng family, there are some things to tell you, and you can act at the opportunity." He pondered, "Speaking of which, this matter is very strange, but the people of the Cheng family don't say it, and others don't talk about it."

"The third son of the long house, Cheng Ze, is only three months younger than the second son Cheng Lie, when Cheng Lie went to the capital, Cheng Fu had already died, and the housework was handed over to Cheng Ze to take care of. Not long after Qin Da returned to Jinling with Cheng Bei in his arms, Cheng Zhi and Cheng Lie died. The Cheng family was headed by Cheng Ze. During this period, Qin Da had a dispute with Cheng Ze, and Qin Da was almost kicked out of Cheng's house. In the end, it was Cheng Bi who came forward to calm down the turmoil. Everyone guessed that it might be that Cheng Ze was harsh on money. What makes everyone strange is that after Cheng Bei and Cheng Xu became adults, Cheng Ze not only returned the sacrificial field to Cheng Bei of the long house, but also divided the family property equally according to the rules of the clan. ”

Zhou Shaojin thought of the delicate relationship between the long room, the second room and the third room, and felt that there must be something going on that outsiders didn't know.

She said in hindsight: "Isn't the Cheng family a high prestige and status in the Shilin in the south of the Yangtze River?" ”

"Of course." Zhou Zhen said with a smile, "Otherwise, there are many outstanding people in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many famous people, and there are many families of poetry, books and etiquette, how can it be the turn of the Cheng family in Jinling Jiuru Lane to be the cow's ear?" The Cheng family relied on the name of the ancestors' loyalty! ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled embarrassedly.

Zhou Zhen said: "The Cheng family is not only famous, but your uncle Jing is a man who likes to help people. That's why I left your sisters at Cheng's house. Otherwise, how could your sister have said such a good family affair? That Liao Shaotang, I have seen it myself, not only does he read well, but his character and appearance are also quite outstanding. ”

Zhou Shaojin thought of her sister's red face.

Could it be that my father talked about my brother-in-law so bluntly as he did?

"I've thought about your business, too." Zhou Zhen said, "I was afraid that it would be bad for your sister to marry and leave you alone in the Cheng family, but now your brother-in-law has to keep filial piety, and your sister's marriage date has been postponed to the year after tomorrow. When your sister gets married, it's time for you to set a date......"

In other words, my father never thought about bringing her to office!

Zhou Shaojin was very surprised and shouted "Daddy".

Zhou Zhen didn't expect the youngest daughter to talk about her family affairs, her face was not red and her heart was not beating, unlike the eldest daughter, who was so ashamed that she couldn't say a word. But he took it for granted.

The youngest daughter can find out the grievances of the two families of Cheng Zhuang with just a few words, she must be a bold and careful, marriage is related to the happiness of the rest of her life, and she takes the initiative to calculate for herself It is also in line with her character.

"Shaojin," Zhou Zhen became more and more lenient and indulgent to his daughter, and muttered, "Do you think that our family has a house and land, and I am a fourth-grade official, you are a serious Miss Yan in the Zhou family, but you are a Miss Table under the fence in the Cheng family, it is better to stay at home than to look at people's eyes?" ”

Zhou Shaojin really thinks so.

Zhou Zhen said: "I don't know if you have paid attention to the origin of Mrs. Yuan of Changfang?" ”

"I know." Zhou Shaojin said, "She is the girl of the Yuan family in Tongxiang." His father was a cabinet elder, and many of his brothers were officials. ”

Zhou Zhen nodded and said, "Not only that, Mrs. Yuan's mother is a girl from the Shucheng Fang family, and her aunt is a girl from the Li family in Lujiang. The Shucheng Fang family not only produced a loyal woman in the previous dynasty, but also produced a large number of children in this dynasty, and there are people with the title of the gold list every few years, and it is also a famous family in the north. The Lujiang Li clan only rose in this dynasty, but the momentum is very strong, and the scholar of the Baohedian University and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry is the brother of Mrs. Yuan's aunt.

"And although Mrs. Hong's mother's family in the second room only has a Hong embroidery, their mother is a girl from the Saiyang Huang family. The Saiyang Huang family has produced two national princes in this dynasty alone. It enjoys a good reputation among Jiangxi officials. And Jiangxi is one of the provinces with the most officials. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhen glanced at Zhou Shaojin meaningfully.

Zhou Shaojin understood.

Their Zhou family counts up several generations, and since they have a family tree, there are only two Jinshi, grandfather and father. His grandfather was an official to the prefect of the fourth grade, and his father is currently only a fourth-rank official...... If it is the same as in the previous life, it will stop at Sanpin.

Compared with these people, the Zhou family is a poor family!

But what did my father say about this?

She shifted uneasily.

Zhou Zhen looked a little funny.

Obviously very smart, but he likes to hide.

This little daughter looks like Zhuang's, but her temperament is not like it at all, but she is the eldest daughter, who looks like Cheng's, but has the same temperament as Zhuang's.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said, "A girl's family, if you don't have a good background, you have to have a good reputation before you can marry a good family." If your biological mother is still alive, why should I put your sisters in the Cheng family? Just rely on your mother and me, how can you find a wishful husband for your sisters. But your mother went early...... Guan Lao'an has been observing the festival for many years, and if he was in the house of Shangjia, he would have asked the court to order a commendation. No, the Cheng family is a serious scholar, and they disdain to use such a reputation to add icing on the cake to the family. Your sisters follow her, and I am an official outside, so I can rest assured. ”

Zhou Shaojin was silent.

The Cheng family has a reputation for loyalty and righteousness, and their grandmother is a thrifty woman, and their sisters grew up in such a family, and no one will doubt their character. And there are few girls in the Cheng family, so although my sister is the granddaughter of the Cheng family, her biological mother died early, but because she grew up with her grandmother, Cheng Jing is in charge, and she can also marry into a family like Zhenjiang Liao to be a clan wife.

And my father's plan has been made clear.

Zhou Zhen looked at her as if she was beaten with eggplant, and couldn't help but stand up and touch her head, and said softly: "What?" Do you still want to follow your father to work? ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Shaojin nodded hurriedly and said, "I'm not like my sister...... If I marry into someone like Liao's, I won't be able to cope with it! ”

You have to try everything to know, why don't you say you can't do it before you start?

Zhou Zhen saw that his daughter's clear eyes were full of melancholy, and swallowed the words to his mouth.

Everyone is different, maybe Shao Jin really doesn't have Chu Jin's heart, and is more suitable for marrying an ordinary family.

Heroes don't ask where they come from.

Not every child of the family can end up worshipping each other and entering the cabinet. It's not that all the children of the poor family are out of contact with the first assistant of the cabinet.

Perhaps, it is more suitable to find a scholar from a poor family with a simple population to meet the younger daughter!

Zhou Zhen's heart softened, and he said softly: "Isn't there still two years?" If you still want to go to work with me, when your sister gets married, I will send someone to take you over. ”

Zhou Shaojin was overjoyed.

Zhou Zhen couldn't help but be happy when he looked at it.

Zhou Shaojin wants to hook up with his father: "That's it!" ”

"Good!" Zhou Zhen and his youngest daughter pulled hooks, "That's how we decided." ”

Zhou Shaojin happily walked out of the study.

Zhou Chujin asked her, "What did Daddy tell you?" ”

"I don't sue you." Zhou Shaojin was rarely lively and playful, and said, "You don't and refuse to sue me." ”

"You little girl!" Zhou Chujin wanted to twist Zhou Shaojin's nose.

Zhou Shaojin dodged and said, "If you tell my father what you told you, I will tell your father what I told me." ”

"You want to be beautiful!" Zhou Chujin didn't comply, and continued to twist Zhou Shaojin's nose, "Even if you don't sue me, I have a way to make my father sue me." ”

"Then you go and say hello to Daddy!" Zhou Shaojin was not afraid at all, and ran away with a smile.

Zhou Chujin stepped on his feet angrily.

Zhou Shaojin's laughter fell like a silver bell in the courtyard.

Lee, who was doing needlework in the study, was thoughtful.

When Zhou Zhen was invited by his classmates to go to Qinhuai River the next day, Li took the child's clothes and came to Zhou Shaojin.

"Yesterday, I heard the words of the second young lady and knew that you are a master of female popularity," she showed Zhou Shaojin a trick, "What do you think I have such buds on the sleeves and hem of my clothes?" ”

Zhou Shaojin thought it was very good-looking, and said with a smile: "Mrs. might as well give it a try." ”

Li nodded with a smile and said about Lan Ting: "...... When she heard that we were going back to Jinling, she was overjoyed. I never thought that the master would leave her behind and let her go to Baoding with our cage. Otherwise, she can also meet the eldest lady and the second miss, and go to Sister Zhuang's grave to kowtow to Sister Zhuang! ”

If there were no things in his previous life, Zhou Shaojin would definitely not think about it. But with those things in her previous life, Li's words made her think about it a lot.

She was wary and said with a smile: "When my wife gives birth to a younger brother, it's not too late to bring her back to worship her ancestors." She will be able to see us too. ”

"That's what I thought too." Li smiled, "I'm afraid that Lan Ting will feel uncomfortable." She often talked to her master about how Sister Zhuang treated her back then, and I think that Sister Zhuang is gone, and she must have felt very uncomfortable for so many years. I want to tell the master, when we arrive in Baoding, let someone escort her back and sweep Sister Zhuang's tomb, which will also fulfill her filial piety. I don't know if Miss Two thinks it's appropriate? ”

In other words, Lan Ting competed with the Li family under the banner of his mother, because Lan Ting was the person left by her mother to her father, and she couldn't dispose of it, so she wanted to borrow her own hand to clean up Lan Ting?

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "I don't care about anything at home, I have to ask my sister." ”
