Chapter 329: Relief (Addition to Ink Cloud on a Sunny Day)
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but be cautious.
As if nothing had happened, Mrs. Chu put her arm around Zhou Shaojin's shoulders and first exchanged a few words with the two ladies of the Guo family, and then gossiped with the few ladies of the Gu family: "How are the wives and grandmothers in the house?" I heard that several old ladies in the family are settling next to the sacrificial field, who is taking care of the housework? Is there anyone in your family who will participate in this autumn's township test? ”
Gu Qigu was the oldest among the sisters, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the blessing of the Bodhisattva, everyone in the family is good." Several old ladies are not at home, and the housekeeping is still handled by Uncle Nineteen. Although those of us who are great-great-grandsons are not only served, but the elders in the family are still keeping filial piety, and several brothers are not in this mood for a while, and most of them will not participate in this year's township test. ”
She speaks clearly and methodically, and she is the oldest among the several young ladies of the Gu family, and Mrs. Chu knows that this is the seventeenth aunt of the Gu family, the one from Cheng Jing's media.
Mrs. Chu couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, thinking that this prejudice kills people, in case this girl really becomes her daughter-in-law, she can't be angry with this girl because she failed to keep Zhou Shaojin. You know, this girl is the one who lives with her youngest son for the rest of her life. No matter how good Zhou Shaojin is, she is also someone else's daughter and someone else's daughter-in-law......
She comforted herself and took a deep breath, only then did she suppress the bitterness in her heart and carefully look at Gu Qigu a few times.
Gu Seventeen Aunt wore a moon-white Hangzhou silk shirt, with a silver-red charred cloth armor on the outside, and below was a moon-white Hangzhou silk thread skirt of the same material, with a pipa buckle coiled at the neckline, a double screw bun, wearing a beaded silver inlaid with pearls, and a pair of small silver cloves fell on her ears. The gilt silver beads and silver cloves revealed a little bit of the little daughter's dexterous thoughts.
As for the appearance, it is far from Shao Jin, and there is no need to compare it at all.
Fortunately, she has clear eyes, a calm look, and generous manners, and she is worthy of being a girl raised by the Gu family who has passed down poetry and etiquette.
Mrs. Chuda quietly withdrew her gaze, and there was still a little regret in her heart. Retreat behind Mrs. Guan and serve on the side.
Old Madam Guo stood up with a smile and said, "You guys play with you." Lest a few of our old ladies make you uncomfortable here. ”
The crowd humbled and retained.
Mrs. Guo and the others still left the water pavilion.
The crowd chatted and chatted.
Gu Qigu kept watching Mrs. Guo and the others leave, and when she saw them go to the pavilion on the top of Taihu Lake Stone Mountain not far from the Water Pavilion, she couldn't help but pull Zhou Shaojin aside and whispered: "Why did the old man and the eldest lady in the fourth room come over?" I looked at them with something wrong! ”
Zhou Shaojin said: "I also think it's a little strange. However, the last time my grandmother came over, she said that she was uncomfortable and wanted to talk to the old lady about herself, and then she sent someone to Pukou, and I suspect that my cousin's marriage was not going well. ”
Is it?
But the look in her eyes was a little strange.
Gu Seventeen looked towards the pavilion.
I saw Mrs. Guo and Guan Lao'an sitting around the stone table talking and putting it down, and Mrs. Chu, Mama Lu and a few little maids were serving on the side.
Since there are ministers around, it is not a whisper.
Gu Qigu felt that she might have thought too much and left this matter behind.
Mrs. Guo and the others were in the pavilion paying attention to the movement of the water pavilion.
When I saw rowing, Gu Seventeen Gu was the last to get on the boat and the first to get off the boat; During the meal, she sat closest to the door, and instructed the maid to hand a handkerchief and wash water; While the sisters were playing, she looked around, for fear that none of them would be seen...... not only helped Zhou Shaojin, but also did not steal the limelight as the master.
This is exactly the second daughter-in-law they need in the fourth room.
Mrs. Chuda had to whisper: "It's still ...... mother who has vision."
Mrs. Guan looked at Zhou Shaojin, who was smiling like a flower, and her tone was a little stunned, and said, "Everything in this world must be appropriate." If it's suitable, people will be comfortable, and if it's not suitable, it's inlaid with gold tongs and jade, and it's uncomfortable. ”
Mrs. Chuda nodded in convincing.
Mrs. Guan turned her head to look at Mrs. Guo and said, "Please also ask the old lady to thank the old lady on my behalf." Because there is only one word in this pile, and there is a servant to the side, she said implicitly, "When I am free one day, I will ask Brother Yi to kowtow to the eldest master." ”
Old Madam Guo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly: "You have decided?" This is not child's play, and you can't change it if you decide it. ”
Mrs. Guan nodded and said, "It's decided!" I can get the eye of my nephew. Chu Jin's marriage is his matchmaker. Chu Jin and her aunt are doing well. Now Cheng Yi is also Cheng Jing's matchmaker, "Speaking of which, thanks to our nephew Jing, we are worried about everything in our four rooms." When he comes back one day, our eldest master has to invite his nephew Jing to a drink! ”
Old Madam Guo said modestly: "He is the eldest son of the long house, and with such a suitable opportunity, he naturally has to take care of the clansmen!" Then he talked about Cheng Wenlai, the second master of the fourth room, "The imperial court will be assessed in the new year, right?" You tell your nephew Wen and ask him to strive to be rated as a good grade, and when the nine-year general examination comes, he can also change to a better place. ”
This means that Cheng Jing will help Cheng Wen in the future.
Mrs. Guan naturally thanked and thanked, but she was thinking about another thing in her heart.
She sent the servant and whispered to Mrs. Guo: "It's Shaojin's marriage...... I'm afraid I'm going to trouble the old lady......"
"Don't worry." Mrs. Guo said, "When the September Township test is over, I plan to go to Beijing to live for a few days." When the time comes, I will personally pick a family affair for Shaojin. ”
Mrs. Guan was relieved.
A few days later, the news of the marriage between the Cheng family and the Gu family spread.
Cheng Yi was very surprised.
Didn't you say that Shao Jin Xu was given to him?
Although he thought it was a bit awkward before, if you think about it carefully, they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and there is nothing wrong with becoming husband and wife. What's more, Shaojin is so beautiful, whether she is angry or angry, she looks like a painting, and it makes people feel comfortable when she looks at it...... Now it's suddenly a different person...... Who was Shao Jin Xu destined for?
Is it because my uncle disagrees?
He felt awkward again.
Looking for a noon when no one was around, he quietly went to the Hanbi Mountain House.
Fucui Pavilion is not like Wanxiang Residence, he can come and go at will, not to mention that the evil lady of Jiying lives in the Tingli Pavilion not far from Fucui Pavilion.
He felt a dull pain in his head just thinking about it.
instigated him to call Zhou Shaojin, and he sat by the lake next to the Hanbi Mountain House and waited for Zhou Shaojin.
Zhou Shaojin was also very surprised when he heard the news of Cheng Yi and Gu Qigu's engagement.
She thought of Cheng Chi and asked her who was the best with her...... Could it be that I made up my own unintentional words?
Zhou Shaojin felt that he was thinking too much.
Although Uncle Chi is good to her, where is this kind of good marriage between the two families, she can decide with one sentence.
She wanted to take this opportunity to meet Cheng Chi, and felt that she would only fall in love with her more when she saw Cheng Chi, so she was walking around the house, and when she heard that Cheng Yi was going to see her, she suddenly felt relieved, changed her clothes, and hurriedly went to the lake.
Cheng Chi has not been at home for the past few days, and the Li family in the general number of Yutai ticket number and the Wei number of the Li family split shares, and finally got busy with things, thinking that he had not accompanied Mrs. Guo for some days, and rushed back at noon, ready to take a nap after eating, but heard Mama Shang, who brought him tea, smiled: "The second master is still like a child, if you are looking for the second cousin, you will find the second cousin, and I actually pulled the girl next to the old lady Guan to invite the second cousin, and I squatted by the lake and wait......ed."
Cheng Chi glanced at Mama Shang coldly, and said, "Their cousins grew up together, and now that Brother Yi is married, he must be very curious about the bride, and it is normal for people to talk to the second cousin about their hearts." What's so strange about that? ”
These are the words from his heart.
He hoped that Shao Jin would live happily, like wild flowers and weeds on the side of the road, growing arbitrarily, instead of keeping her in a cage, when to eat and when to cry had to be approved by him.
However, since Cheng Yi came to her, he was afraid that he would have to talk, and he rushed back from the shop on this hot day, covered with sweat, so it was better to take this opportunity to take a shower, and when he went to his mother's place, it is estimated that she would come back after speaking.
Cheng Chi instructed Mama Shang to call for water to come in.
Mama Shang trembled at Cheng Chi's glance, and served carefully, but she couldn't help but feel strange in her heart.
If the fourth master wanted to let Cheng Yi go, he only needed to find an excuse to tell Ji Ying to call Miss Second Cousin over, and Cheng Yi was so frightened that he ran away.
Did you guess wrong?
Otherwise, why did the fourth master let her look at Miss Second Cousin?
She didn't want to be wrong.
When she withdrew from the study, she went to find Huaishan: "...... What do you mean by Fourth Master? ”
Huaishan didn't know either.
But he knew that Cheng Chi wouldn't speak if he didn't speak, and every word he said was intentional.
"Did the fourth master let you stop staring at Miss Second Cousin?" He asked in a low voice.
Mama Shang felt that she had suddenly realized.
There is no need to be afraid!
No, Cheng Yi is not even defeated.
He is not on the same level as the fourth master at all, if the fourth master takes him in his eyes, won't he lower his character?
Mama Shang settled down again.
Here Cheng Yi saw the delicate Zhou Shaojin, and he didn't know what to say, so he blushed and threw stones into the lake to play.
Zhou Shaojin sighed in his heart, and preemptively laughed: "Congratulations to cousin!" The seventeenth aunt of the Gu family and I know each other well, she is very good, and my cousin has married a good daughter-in-law. ”
Cheng Yi's face turned even redder, and he muttered for a while: "Second cousin, what about yours, has your marriage been decided?" ”
Zhou Shaojin thought of Cheng Chi.
The bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and he bowed his head and said, "No, no!" ”
Cheng Yi's whole person relaxed.
His heart had never been clearer than it was now.
If the grandmother proposed to the uncle, the uncle was not satisfied with himself and didn't want to offend the Cheng family, so he could only use the excuse that the second cousin had already had a verbal marriage contract with another family, and quickly made a marriage contract for the second cousin, even if he didn't make a marriage contract, he had to tell the second cousin.
Since there is none, the uncle is not dissatisfied with himself, and the elders feel that the seventeenth aunt of the Gu family is more suitable for him!
