Sanbao's face was full of entanglement, and he shouted "Second Miss" slowly, but he didn't move for a long time.

Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened - although he was still as gentle as water, he had no lethality at all, and even made Sanbao a little surprised, but in the end, he lost his temper, Sanbao didn't dare to openly disobey, and hurriedly responded "yes" and ran away.

Zhou Shaojin breathed a sigh of relief.

A few people stood by the willow tree and waited.

But two quarters of an hour passed, and Cheng Yi's shadow was not seen, but there were more and more mosquitoes, and the incense fan was hula-la.

Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips angrily and twisted the handkerchief vigorously.

Shi Xiang persuaded with a smile: "Second Miss, it will take two quarters of an hour to come from the fifth room, even if it is a close approach, and it will take at least half an hour to come here, or let the Spring Festival Gala stay here, I will accompany you to walk around, right?" ”

Zhou Shaojin thought about it and felt that she was very reasonable, so she left the Spring Festival Gala to wait by the willow tree, and went for a walk in the garden with Shi Xiang.

In her previous life, Cheng Xu came in from the small garden on the other side of the fifth room, and in this life, she had to plug this loophole no matter what. Otherwise, if there is no Cheng Xu, who knows if there will be another Cheng Ju?

The two walked silently in the garden for about two quarters of an hour, and Cheng Yi had not yet come.

I guess it won't come!

Zhou Shaojin had an indescribable disappointment in her heart, and she instructed Shi Xiang: "Let's go back!" ”

Shi Xiang comforted her: "Don't talk about the gentlemen walking outside, it's just that the ladies get together and talk about face." The second master can't be called off the table by Sanbao like this, right? Presumably it is because of the tight stay over there, and it is either the second master's classmate or brother, and the second master has to take care of everyone's face. It's not too early now, let's go back and rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. The second master slipped in from here, in case he was touched by the mothers who were patrolling the night, he was afraid that something would happen, and it would not be a good thing. ”

Zhou Shaojin didn't speak, called the Spring Festival Gala, and went back to Wanxiangju with Shi Xiang.

But when she returned, she immediately called the mother-in-law who was keeping vigil in, and repeatedly told them: "You must watch the door." If you find that you don't comply, don't blame me for not giving her face, and hand it over to Chief Qin for disposal. ”

Wan Xiangju served Zhou Shaojin and Zhou Chujin closely, and it was the servant of the Zhou family who served Zhou Shaojin and Zhou Chujin closely, and the rough mother-in-law and maid belonged to the Cheng family. These days, Zhou Shaojin is copying scriptures in the Bihan Mountain House, and she opened her mouth and crossed the fourth room and directly mentioned Qin Shouli, the chief manager of Jiuru Lane, and thought that Zhou Shaojin had won the favor of Mrs. Guo, and she could speak in front of Qin Shouli. Zhou Shaojin felt a little at ease at this time, and was served by Shi Xiang and went to bed.

Early the next morning, before Zhou Shaojin got up, Cheng Yi came over.

Zhou Shaojin was still thinking about the small garden of the fifth room, and he didn't sleep well at night, when he heard that he came over, he asked Shi Xiang to invite him to the study to drink tea, and said, "You ask the second master by the way, has he had breakfast?" If not, let the kitchen set breakfast for the second master first. I'll go over after I've freshened up. ”

Shi Xiang went to the study.

Zhou Shaojin was angry that he let himself wait for himself yesterday, and slowly dressed up, and then went to the West Chamber.

Cheng Yi had already eaten breakfast, but Zhou Shaojin hadn't come yet, he was very bored, he flipped through a few books, all of them were planting flowers and raising trees, he was not very interested, and when he saw a little girl coming in to feed the fish, he simply took the blue and white porcelain dish and fed the fish.

As a result, Zhou Shaojin walked in and saw him looking leisurely.

She couldn't help but be angry and said, "How much did you lose yesterday?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey." Cheng Yi turned around, pinched the fish food casually, and said, "It's just the money for a meal, what are you worried about?" ”

Zhou Shaojin snatched the fish food from his hand and said, "These fish are very stupid, they can eat as much as you feed them." You're careful to kill my fish. As she spoke, she put the small plate containing fish food on the bookcase beside her, and then said, "I asked Sanbao to look for you yesterday, why don't you come?" ”

Cheng Yi flickered and said, "Aren't I here?" What's the matter with you? This morning my husband has to check the "University" that I taught yesterday, and I have to go early. ”

"You still know you're going to study!" Zhou Shaojin said unceremoniously, "If you didn't go to play with them last night, why don't you have to hold your feet today." I'm not looking for you to have less contact with them in the future. Why don't you see my cousin and cousin playing with you? Grandmother is still counting on you to study hard and earn a phoenix crown for her old man! ”

"I see, I know." Cheng Yi admitted his mistake with a smile, but his tone was a little disapproving, "I promise that I will never mess with them again in the future, now you are satisfied!" ”

After all, Cheng Yi is Zhou Shaojin's cousin, and it hurts his self-esteem if he says it seriously; To put it mildly, he didn't listen.

She didn't even know how to do it. I had to say softly: "It's not that I don't want you to get together, it's just that Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen are making a fuss, and it's not good for you to play in the small garden of the fifth room." And playing like this until the middle of the night and delaying reading, it's better to get together less. ”

"Rest assured, rest assured." Cheng Yi smiled and said, "When everyone saw Sanbao go to call me, they all knew that you knew, and decided not to play in the small garden of the fifth room in the future." ”

And then a different place?

Zhou Shaojin is not the one who always pushes people to the corner, and swallows all the words that come to his mouth. He joked, "It's so good that I don't have to go to my grandmother to complain." She remembered Cheng Yi's downfall in her previous life, and her heart hurt him, and said, "How much money did you lose yesterday?" I still have some silver here, if you are in a hurry, it is better to move it from me first, than to borrow silver from Cheng Nuo, Cheng Ju, and your classmates. ”

The fourth room is very strict with the heirs, don't look at Cheng Yi is the second master, the food and clothing are not ordinary, but the pocket money that can be used at will is not as much as Zhou Shaojin.

As the saying goes, eat other people's soft mouths and take other people's hands short. What's more, if you borrow someone else's money and can't pay it back for a long time?

Cheng Yi knew that his cousin was pure and soft, and treated people sincerely, and when she took the initiative to mention it, she was not polite, and said, "Then do you have twenty taels of silver?" ”

Zhou Shaojin was taken aback, he didn't expect him to lose so much.

She didn't want Cheng Yi to be unable to raise her head in front of Cheng Ju.

"Yes!" She said without hesitation, called Xiang Shi to get the silver, and persuaded him again, "It's better for you to play less with them in the future." ”

Cheng Yi nodded and said abruptly: "It's all a matter of face, and it's not good to go back in one bite." ”

That's just as well.

Zhou Shaojin didn't say anything anymore.

Cheng Yi took the silver and left.

Zhou Shaojin personally sent him out, and then turned back to the hall.

After a while, Zhou Chujin came over, and she asked Zhou Shaojin, "What did Cousin Yi do when he came to you so early?" ”

Zhou Shaojin said distressedly: "Don't mention it." Cousin Yi gambled with Cheng Nuo and Cheng Ju last night......"

She told her sister what had happened.

Although Zhou Chujin was a little surprised, he was not as nervous as Zhou Shaojin, but said with a smile: "In the future, you will not nag in front of your cousin, and no one will like a ...... who always dislikes you." Younger sister. ”

"I don't want to," Zhou Shaojin muttered, "but sometimes I can't control myself." ”

She didn't notice her sister's brief pause in talking about disgust.

Zhou Shaojin was worried that Cheng Yi was just perfunctory to her.

She called Fan Qi in and asked him to pay attention to Cheng Yi: "Especially if he doesn't go back to the yard where he lives after school every day, what does he do?" ”

Fan Qi smiled and retreated.

The next day, he mysteriously told Zhou Shaojin: "The second master and Uncle Nuo of the fifth room, Uncle Ju and a few classmates are gambling in the water pavilion in the small garden of the fifth room. ”

Zhou Shaojin's blood surged upward.

Cheng Yi didn't take her words to heart at all.

Then she was strange again.

What money does Cheng Yi take to gamble.

She thought about it again and again, called Sanbao over, and asked him, "How much silver did the second master lose the night before yesterday?" ”

Sanbao knew about Zhou Shaojin's borrowing of silver to Cheng Yi, and he thought, since Miss Erbiao can lend silver to the second master, she must be very good with the second master, and everyone knows how much silver the second master lost. Even if he doesn't talk about it at this time, the second lady can ask as long as she goes outside and asks. Not to mention, it's not big. Therefore, he did not hide it from Zhou Shaojin, and said with a smile: "I lost six taels of silver." ”

Zhou Shaojin almost jumped up.

No wonder Cheng Yi can continue to gamble with those gangs, it turns out that he borrowed twenty taels of silver from him.

Seeing her look stunned, Sanbao hurriedly said: "Second Miss, the second master won two or three points of silver yesterday, and he will be able to win them all back soon." ”

Zhou Shaojin came back to his senses after listening to it for a long time, and said, "Dare to love the second master and still gamble with them?" ”

"No, no." Sanbao was shocked to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and said repeatedly, "I said the wrong thing, the second master said, you can't just be laughed at by them in vain, and when you win the silver back, invite them to Jiuxianglou for a meal, and never play with them again in the future." ”

While speaking, he also carefully observed Zhou Shaojin's expression.

Zhou Shaojin didn't even want to speak, so she asked Shi Xiang to send Sanbao out.

In the evening, she deliberately walked a few steps slower and met Cheng He and Cheng Yi.

Zhou Shaojin greeted Cheng He with a smile, and pulled Cheng Yi to speak: "If you can't win all the money back this time, do you still want to continue to gamble with them?" ”

"How is that possible!" Cheng Yi glanced at Cheng He and whispered, "I've lost several games in a row, as soon as you lent me the silver, I changed my luck, it can be seen that your luck is good, I will definitely be able to win back the lost silver this time." ”

Zhou Shaojin saw that Cheng He was staring at them with a blank face, and it was not good to say anything more to Cheng Yi, so he broke up with Cheng Yi with a smile.

At night, she asked Fan Qi to continue to stare at Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi and Cheng Ju played until the third watch before they dispersed. Several of their classmates even stayed in the fifth room.

Zhou Shaojin knew that it was useless for her to persuade Cheng Yi like this.

But what else could she do but persuade?

Zhou Shaojin wandered in the bamboo forest of Jing'an Zhai, looking at the water pavilion in the fifth room opposite in a daze, she didn't even notice what Pan Qing was over, if it weren't for Pan Qing smiling and asking her, "What is Sister Shaojin doing here", she was afraid that she hadn't found Pan Qing standing by her side yet.
