Chapter 391: Secret
It's not that Zhou Shaojin hasn't seen gold bricks.
The gold bricks she saw were all small, no more than three inches long and no more than an inch wide, small and delicate like playthings in the palm of her hand, and she did not see the gold bricks the size of bricks used to build walls that she saw at this time.
Zhou Shaojin was somewhat dumbfounded, feeling as if he was in a dream.
How much money did Uncle Chi transfer from Gongzhong?
Will it be exposed?
She was a little anxious!
Huai Shan said in a low voice: "Fourth Master, there are only so many for the time being. Shopkeeper Zhao and they have already gone to adjust it overnight. ”
Also, there are ......
Zhou Shaojin looked at Cheng Chi in fear.
Cheng Chi saw that she seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly smiled: "So much is enough." ”
If the little girl has a gap with herself in a few days, with Shaojin's liking for him, this kind of "private fullness" thing must be able to be done again.
Huai Shan didn't know, thinking that Cheng Chi was still looking imminent just now and asked him to find a way to get some gold bricks in, and in a blink of an eye, he said that it didn't matter, and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Shaojin quickly.
I don't know what Miss Second Watch wants this gold for?
If you want to put it in the storeroom, you will be buried shallowly under the floor tiles of the inner room...... He didn't understand.
Cheng Chi was afraid that Zhou Shaojin would be afraid, so he whispered to her: "Let's go out and let them get it right." ”
"Hmm!" Zhou Shaojin replied meekly, glanced back at the gold bricks, which had a hint of real feeling, and as Cheng Chi walked out of the inner room, he grabbed Cheng Chi's sleeve tightly when there was no one else.
Looking at her holding her white and tender little hands, Cheng Chi felt soft in his heart and asked her softly, "Did it scare you?" ”
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly shook his head, nodded lightly, and said in a low voice: "Will the ancestor of the second room find out?" ”
Cheng Chi stood still. Looking back at her, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he leaned over and said, "Worried about me?" ”
Zhou Shaojin's face turned red.
Just talk, what is Uncle Chi doing so close to her?
It almost hit her on the cheek.
However, this kind of thing must not be shouted at...... She remembered his words "I can't help myself" again, and her face blushed even more.
Cheng Chi had already gotten what he wanted, and knew that if he moved forward. The little girl is going to erect a heart wall again.
He smiled and straightened up. He took her hand and said, "Let's go, go back to play chess?" ”
Still down?
Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened.
Cheng Chi smiled and stepped forward again. He whispered, "I'll sue you about the Seven Star Hall!" ”
Zhou Shaojin was stunned when he heard this, but the blood gushed upwards with a gurgling face, and he was excited.
Seven Star Hall ...... What a strange name! is like the names of those Jianghu sects written in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness...... This shouldn't be Uncle Chi's secret, right?
Zhou Shaojin stupidly let Cheng Chi lead her forward.
The moment Cheng Chi stepped out of the door of the hall, he glanced at the east wing room carelessly, but let go of Zhou Shaojin's hand.
Li Shi saw Cheng Chi looking over here. I was startled, and my instinct was to hide back. Then he thought that he had just opened the window a crack, and Cheng Chi should not be able to see it, so he breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest. For no reason, he felt the feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and after watching Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin leave the main house one after another, they returned to the inner room and sat down. asked Mama Li quietly: "Can you see clearly, the uninhibited entourage beside the fourth master led people to move five cages in?" ”
Mama Li nodded. The voice was lower than Li's: "I secretly counted, and there are not many cages, and there will never be a mistake." ”
Li couldn't help muttering: "What is there in the main room that the fourth master has left in the main room and has no time to take it away?" ”
Cheng Chi's words misled her, she thought Cheng Chi was taking something instead of putting something inside.
But no matter what, she decided to pretend to be deaf and dumb - after the official brother's 100-day ceremony, she will take Shaojin back to Baoding Mansion, what do you care?
She carefully told Mama Li: "You have to keep your mouth shut." ”
Mama Li smiled: "The old body is saved." If this is said, it is not a joke. ”
The fourth master of the Cheng family called the second lady out late at night when it was quiet and asked people to come in and move things, these things must be unusual, she still has this eyesight.
Li put his mind at ease, blew out a lamp, and said to Mama Li: "Sleep!" I'm going to my aunt and grandmother early tomorrow morning. Then I thought of the official brother who grew more and more pink, and thought that my daughter often lay on the side and guard him intently, so I couldn't help laughing and went to bed happily.

Zhou Shaojin followed Cheng Chi back to the study in the outer courtyard.
Cheng Chi asked Lang Yue to bring the tea set over and make the tea himself.
That's what it means to talk for a long time!
Zhou Shaojin had a feeling that it was still early and we could still talk for a long time.
It puts her in a good mood.
She sat on the side with a smile and quietly watched Cheng Chi make tea gracefully and skillfully.
Cheng Chi looked at her with a calm expression and was in a good mood.
handed a cup of tea to Zhou Shaojin, and then said lightly: "Do you know about our ancestors?" ”
Zhou Shaojin held the teacup and nodded like a chicken pecking rice, then put the teacup under his nose and smelled the tea.
Cheng Chi explained with a smile: "It was the big red robe last autumn, and in a few days, there will be Longjing and Biluochun before the Ming Dynasty." ”
Zhou Shaojin tasted it.
The tea flavor is mellow and long.
It's delicious!
She should have known that Uncle Chi was very good at making tea.
hateful, he often instructed himself to help him make tea.
Zhou Shaojin slandered in his heart, but he felt inexplicably happy, his heart moved, and he naughtily stretched out the teacup in front of Cheng Chi, and said coquettishly: "Another cup." ”
Cheng Chi smiled.
This little girl, can she treat herself as a doctor in a teahouse?
But Zhou Shaojin's sweet and glutinous voice was half coquettish and half provocative, but Cheng Chi Xinhu had to follow.
It turns out that the little girl is like this!
He smiled pitifully and made Zhou Shaojin a cup of tea with kindness.
Zhou Shaojin also had the courage to make trouble with Cheng Chi once in a while, but he didn't dare to really make Cheng Chi anxious.
She drank the second cup of tea and sat quietly looking at Cheng Chi. Wait for him to speak.
What a good job!
How could anyone not like her?
Cheng Chi flashed over the appearance of the Yuan family in his mind, and quickly left her behind, and said: "Many people know that my ancestor was a loyal monarch and died of martyrdom, but they don't know that the court at that time was already ruined, and the rules were often out of discipline. Even if the old ancestor has the power to turn the tide, the general trend has gone, but he is just doing his duty. ”
Zhou Shaojin's expression was slightly solemn when he heard Fang. Sit up straight.
Cheng Chi's tone paused slightly. Said slowly: "But Emperor Kelie seems to feel that Ziwei Star is shifting, not only does he not work hard, but he intensifies. Every day, the meat grove wine pond is absurd, so that the treasury is empty, not to mention the ministers' salaries, even the military salaries are often in arrears. The old ancestor looked anxious. I also saw that the big families in the south of the Yangtze River took advantage of the national crisis to collude with officials to sell and buy illicit salt, and in desperation, he tamed a few people in the rivers and lakes for his use. He also formed a gang called 'Seven Star Hall' in his younger brother's name to sell smuggled salt, making a profit from it and supplementing the army's supplies. ”
"Huh?!" Zhou Shaojin opened his mouth wide and stumbled. "In other words, did the Cheng family start by selling smuggled salt?"
Cheng Chi laughed and said, "No! The Cheng family is the Cheng family. Seven Star Hall is Seven Star Hall. ”
Zhou Shaojin thought of the strange relationship between Xiao Zhenhai and Cheng Chi, and said thoughtfully: "Uncle Chi." Are you the fourth master of Jiuru Lane in Jinling, but outside are Cheng Si and Cheng Zichuan? She suddenly realized and said in a loud voice, "So the so-called general affairs you are in charge of are actually 'Seven Star Hall', right?" ”
Her eyes lit up.
I think a lot of puzzled things make sense!
This little girl is always very clever when it is critical, why don't you usually see her so many eyes.
"You little snack!" Cheng Chi touched Zhou Shaojin's head with a smile and said, "Not bad, not bad." Finally got smart once. ”
His touch was a little appreciative, and Zhou Shaojin decided not to bother with Cheng Chi.
She glared at Cheng Chi angrily and said, "I'm already very smart, but it's because Uncle Chi is so smart that I don't seem so smart!" ”
Cheng Chi laughed.
After laughing, he said: "When I came forward as a member of the Cheng family in Jinling Jiuru Lane, I was the fourth master of the Cheng family with the title of the two Jinshi, but when I appeared as the master of the Seven Star Hall, it was Cheng Si. ”
She wrung her fingers and said, "Isn't there anyone who has found out?" ”
Cheng Chi said with a smile: "Do you think those bigwigs on the rivers and lakes are famous families in Jiangnan?" They're just a bunch of outlaws. Seeing that the head catcher was already on a detour, how could he take the initiative to provoke people like us. ”
Yes!
Sometimes a county order can wipe out a group of thieves, not to mention that the Cheng family is still the guest of the county order and the prefect, and it is a family that can influence the promotion of the county order and the prefect.
Zhou Shaojin smiled proudly.
Who knew that Cheng Chi's words changed and said: "But there are also families in the rivers and lakes, and several families have sworn allegiance to the Seven Star Hall when my ancestors were up, and they were supported by the Cheng family. Speaking of this, his expression turned cold, "But the sun and the moon are changing, these so-called Jianghu families also have their own small abacus in front of interests, the Cheng family is just a scholar family after all, and the old ancestors were just collecting money through them, and they had no intention of holding them hostage, the old ancestor was okay when he was martyred, after all, the Seven Star Hall was formed by his old man, and respected his old man's feats, plus the change of dynasty, those people are still honest, but with the peace of the world, they either have a self-reliance portal, or have the intention of replacing them." ”
Zhou Shaojin felt dangerous when he thought about it, and said quickly: "Then give it to them!" The Cheng family is a family of scholars who have passed down the etiquette, and they should take reading as the right way, which is the last resort of the ancestors, and they want it, so they will give it to them. It's a good line to draw a line with these things! ”
Cheng Chi smiled bitterly.
Even Shao Jin knows the things that he can see through, but Cheng Xu, the ancestor of the second room, can't let go of it, can't see through it.
But this is also the reason why Shao Jin makes him like it!
Cheng Chi made Zhou Shaojin a cup of tea again, and said, "At that time, the Cheng family had no time to take care of themselves......"
Zhou Shaojin remembered.
After the ancestor of the Cheng family was martyred, the descendants of the Cheng family were almost wiped out, and the incense was almost broken.
