Chapter 143: Sight

The crisis of property plagued Zhou Shaojin.

In her previous life, she spent most of her time at home, rarely used silver, and did not have any troubles in this regard, the only time she was short of silver was when she ran out of the Cheng family, encountered a heavy snowstorm in Tongzhou, delayed for a few days, and the silver was spent, but Fan Liu soon became the ancestral bracelet of the Fan family and took her to find her sister. Later, she married Lin Shisheng, she had her own dowry, and Ma Ci helped to take care of it, and her large expenses were to go to the temple to donate sesame oil money, and she could buy whatever she wanted, and there was no shortage of silver.

didn't expect to be reincarnated, she had no money in her hands!

Zhou Shaojin sat in the Buddhist hall of Hanbi Mountain House, and the more he thought about it, the worse he became, and he wrote two bad words in a row.

She simply put down her pen and decided to calm down first, so she listened to Xiao Tan, who was sitting at the door, saying to Shi Xiang: "...... turned the listening fasting upside down, and then found out the envy basin that Uncle Zhi said. ”

Liutingzhai is the house of the second room Cheng Zhi.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but listen.

Shi Xiang said: "Envy Yang Basin? Does Uncle Zhi want to raise narcissus? It's not unusual, is it? There are several of them in our yard, and every year at this time, they will take them out to put the narcissus for the eldest and second misses. She said, "Ouch", and said, "Don't you say that I forgot, I have been so busy in the past two days that I forgot to go and tell the mother-in-law in the greenhouse to help our eldest and second ladies leave a few better daffodils." Last year we said it was late, and the good daffodils were picked up. ”

Xiao Tan said: "Last year, the narcissus in our hospital bloomed well, and even the eldest wife of the Gu family praised it when she came to pay New Year's greetings. ”

Shi Xiang smiled: "When did the things in your courtyard go bad?" ”

"That's just as well." Xiao Tan smiled, "But our sister pearl here can raise flowers, and the daffodils on our side are all flower stems carved by Sister Pearl herself." Sister Pearl said that the envy basin that Uncle Zhi said was trapezoidal, and Uncle Zhi had to put a daffodil in the shape of a jinshi and the first eight or nine out of ten. It is not more than our ordinary envy basin, which is either round or square, and then it is equipped with a purple purlin shelf, and it takes a lot of time to put a Jinshi and the first appearance to come out, and most of the uncles are to give away! ”

"Giving it away?" Shi Xiangqi said, "Who else can make Uncle Zhi so thoughtful." ”

"I don't know." Xiao Tan said with a smile, "Uncle Zhi and Grandma Zhi are both people who like to interact with people. No, Grandma Zhida has not yet reached the full moon, and she is already preparing to invite relatives and friends to drink Laba porridge at home during the Laba Festival. ”

Shi Xiang knew about this, she smiled and said: "Speaking of which, it's really good to know the eldest grandmother, since she married into the Cheng family, she will cook Laba porridge and send it to each room every year." ”

Xiao Tan pursed her lips when she heard this, and said, "What can she do if she is a virtuous lady?" Our grandfather is the eldest son and grandson, and our grandfather's grandmother is the grandmother. ”

Shi Xiang was shocked to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and said with a smile: "That's!" That's all I said. Don't take it personally. ”

Xiaotan and Shi Xiang get along like sisters these days, and when they heard this, they suddenly felt that their words were too blunt, and they couldn't help but secretly regret it, and explained: "I said this because I couldn't get used to the way the second room was high and low. Sister, don't you know, isn't Min Gongzi's brother the champion of Renchenke? The fourth master of our house is also the title of the gold list that year, but he is the second and twelfth. Uncle Zhi was devoted to the Min Gongzi, as if the Min Gongzi was the champion of the Lang, and he trampled the fourth master of our room under his feet. ”

Zhou Shaojin was not surprised.

Shi Xiang was stunned and said, "There is still such a thing? ”

Xiao Tan was half angry, half to make up for the rift between her and Shi Xiang just now, and said indignantly: "What's the matter! Last time, Master Min and Uncle Min went to Gu's house in Plum Blossom Lane as guests, and Uncle Zhi didn't know how to know, so he had to follow him. After the past, the Gu family held a banquet to entertain Min Gongzi, and took the family's treasured wine out to entertain the guests. Min Gongzi jokingly said at the time, "It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to see the luminous cup", and Uncle Zhi was anxious to get a so-called 'luminous cup' and gave it to Min Gongzi. It's a pity that Master Min didn't look down on Uncle Zhi, not only returned the 'luminous cup' to Uncle Zhi, but also said to Uncle Zhi that 'the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water', which made Uncle Zhi blush.

"It was a real relief when we heard about it.

"Uncle Zhi relies on him to be older than the uncle, and he always likes to point fingers in front of the uncle. But he didn't want to think about it, even if he was older than the uncle, it would not be our uncle who would be in charge of the Cheng family in the future. ”

Shi Xiang said yes again and again.

Zhou Shaojin pondered in her heart: The Yuan family wants to marry the daughter of the Min family, and Min Xingqiang is a guest at home, such a good opportunity, there is no reason for her not to take advantage of it? Min Xingqiang offended Cheng Zhi so much, did he know something? And he has a good impression of Cheng Xu, and wants Cheng Xu to be his brother-in-law?

She stood up and took a sip of hot tea.

One way or another, it has nothing to do with her. She only asks the Bodhisattva to bless her, so that she can spend these two times peacefully and peacefully, as for who will Cheng Xu marry? What will happen to Cheng Lu? None of it had anything to do with her.

In Lixuezhai over there, there was no sound of people in the huge courtyard. Before the cold hit, a large brazier had been set up in front of the bookcase of the academy, and the fine silver frost charcoal was burned red, lighting up the room.

The bookshelves in the house were empty, but the floor was littered with notes, books, and picture books.

Cheng Chi stood tall and tall, wearing a beautiful indigo blue muslin robe, standing in front of the brazier, his straight posture like a birch tree in the northern wilderness, his quiet face like an eternal statue, and from time to time he opened the account book on the bookcase to look at it a few times, and threw it into the brazier.

The flames quickly picked up and devoured the books he had thrown into the brazier.

Huaishan walked in with a large handful of account books, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was slightly stunned, and hesitated: "Fourth master, have these burned it?" ”

"It's all burning." Cheng Chi didn't move his eyebrows, and continued to throw the account book into the brazier.

Huaishan put the account book he was holding on the big bookcase, hesitated for a long time, and said: "Fourth master, these are all account books in the house for decades, once they are burned, there will be no more." In the future, I just want to check something, and there is nowhere to check. ”

The firelight illuminated Cheng Chi's face, and his eyebrows looked a little cold: "I just left the account books for them, can they understand?" ”

Huaishan choked.

Cheng Chi threw another account book into the brazier, and said lightly: "What did Fang Xintong say?" ”

Huaishan said: "He said that he couldn't eat two thousand looms alone, so he asked if he could find a few peers to ...... together."

The green tendons of Cheng Chi's mane jumped.

Huaishan's face changed slightly.

The fourth master seems to be in a bad mood.

What happened after he left the study?

He lowered his eyelids, and Cheng Chi's voice sounded quite gentle in his ears: "He, the richest man in Jiaxing, can't eat my 2,000 looms, and I think others are even less capable...... That's good, last time there wasn't a guy named Zheng Si who wanted to pick up some work from us, and I saw that he was still a good one. Go and ask him, and see if he has the courage to take in his hands my two thousand looms and three hundred skilled weavers. I don't want him a penny now, and I will settle it in two years' time. But I have a request, in the past two years, he has to pull Fang Xintong off the horse with me, I don't like him to be the richest man in Jiaxing. ”

"Yes!" Huaishan sweated and tunneled.

"Anyway, the money that the thirteen lines owe me will be settled in two years, and I'm idle anyway." Cheng Chi threw the account book in the brazier again, and the silver frost carbon seemed to be unable to withstand the strength of the account book, and the dust splashed everywhere with a "bang", and it looked like it was about to be raised to Cheng Chi's body.

Huaishan's sleeves arced like lightning, and all the dust fell into the brazier as if it had touched an invisible net.

Cheng Chi threw the account book into it again.

This time the book fell gently and skillfully into the brazier, and obediently was burned.

Huai Shan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fourth Master, you asked me to check the matter of Miss Zhou's second cousin......"

"How's it going?" Cheng Chi casually flipped through an account book.

"Miss Zhou Jiaer has never been out of the house since she entered the mansion at the age of six months. It can even be said that she has never been out alone since March 24 this year. Huaishan said, "After March, she went out several times, once in April, before the Dragon Boat Festival, she and her sister went back to the ancestral house of the Zhou family to worship their ancestors; One time was when the Zhuang family, who had been comfortable with her grandfather, begged for her grace......" He gave Cheng Chi everything Zhou Shaojin had done since March, and said: "Fourth master, I can be sure that she is really the daughter of Zhou Zhifu, the second cousin of the fourth room." ”

Cheng Chi asked, "Is there any news coming from the capital?" ”

"Yes." Huaishan said, "That little guy is very clever. The people of the Ji family sent him to the capital, and lost the people in a blink of an eye. He hired a merchant from other places, falsely claimed to be his uncle, and was going to Tianjin to receive goods, and lived in the Shangqing Palace near Zhenrenfang...... "Maybe it's a clever child that everyone likes, speaking of this, Huaishan showed a shallow smile, and his voice became lively," The person who stared at him said that he seemed to have nothing to do every day, either listening to operas or going to restaurants and shopping on the street, and he also got involved with a little Taoist priest in Shangqing Palace, and helped the little Taoist priest pay back twenty copper plates of dim sum money. But in fact, every day, consciously or unconsciously, he would pass by a hutong and Hushangshu Hutong in Zhenrenfang and talk to those neighbors, and the most asked questions were the Lin family in an alley and the Mu family in Hushangshu Hutong......"

Cheng Chi was also a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "Is there anything special about these two?" ”

A trace of confusion flashed in Huaishan's eyes: "The Lin family is a hereditary third-rank commander. Although the Mu family is a scholar, he served as the imperial historian in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The two families are in-laws...... Although it is not a good match, the Lin family and the Mu family are old neighbors, and they are good friends, the son of the Lin family is talented, and his conduct is also praised...... I still don't know what the second cousin of the Zhou family asked the little guy to ask Lin and Mu about? After speaking, he added, "That little guy's name is Fan Qi, and he is the nurse brother of Miss Zhou's second cousin." ”

Sisters, there are only two shifts today.
