Cheng Chi returned to Chaoyangmen's home, and Mrs. Guo was visiting from the old lady's side, and Mama Lu explained with a smile: "It's the eldest lady of the Fang family, and she will return to Shucheng the day after tomorrow, so she has come to say goodbye to the old lady in this life." ”

Then I can only wait to say hello to my mother later.

Cheng Chi nodded and went back to his residence.

Old Madam Guo heard the movement and said, "Who is coming?" ”

Mama Lu said respectfully: "It's the fourth master who has returned." I heard that you have a guest here, so I went back first! ”

It's back from Yuqian Hutong, right?

Old Madam Guo pondered in her heart, but Mrs. Fang smiled when she heard this: "Fourth Uncle Chi? I haven't seen him in years, but he's okay now! ”

"Good, good, good!" The smile on Mrs. Guo's face deepened when she thought of this old man.

Mrs. Fang said with a smile: "Which family's daughter-in-law is the daughter-in-law of Fourth Uncle Chi's family?" Why didn't you post it to us when he got married? ”

Although it is far away, how can I send someone to accompany the ceremony?

Speaking of this, Mrs. Guo was a little embarrassed, and said, "He hasn't married yet......

At such an age, and he has a reputation but has never married, I am afraid that there is some reason for inhumanity. Mrs. Fang naturally didn't want to ask too much, and said, "Good things are a lot of grinding, don't worry too much." Then he changed the subject, "Then I'll go back first!" If you have anything to do, just write a letter to Shucheng. ”

Mrs. Guo thanked her and instructed Mrs. Wei to help send off the guests.

Mrs. Fang Da was polite, and Mrs. Wei Er led the main courtyard.

She couldn't help but say, "Why hasn't Uncle Chi gotten married yet?" ”

How could Mrs. Wei talk about the matter of the little uncle's house, so she had to say vaguely: "The fourth uncle is excellent in terms of character, knowledge, and ability, but this major marriage event is screwed with the old lady - the old lady looks good, and the fourth uncle thinks it is not good; The fourth uncle thinks it's good, but the old lady looks bad. This comes and goes, and the marriage is also delayed. ”

Mrs. Fang Da listened thoughtfully.

A few days later, Mrs. Liao came to visit Mrs. Guo and mentioned Fang Xuan meaningfully: "...... Her parents were afraid that she would be wronged, and they wanted to find someone who was calm and serious, if she was a few years older and the elders in the family were reasonable people, it would be better. Entrusted me a few times. You also know, where did I know anyone in that small place in Zhenjiang? A few days ago, my sister-in-law returned to Shucheng and mentioned this matter to me again, asking me to help keep an eye on it. I think about it, the old lady has lived in the capital for more than ten years, and she knows more people than I have eaten salt, so I took advantage of today's good weather to come over and ask you. If you have someone who is suitable, you can help Ah Xuan pay attention. ”

Such an obvious hint, if Mrs. Guo still can't understand it, wouldn't it be in vain to waste her shrewdness and ability?

She just didn't expect Mrs. Fang Da to take a fancy to Zhongcheng Pool.

That Fang Xuan is more than ten years younger than Cheng Chi.

However, Zhou Shaojin is also more than ten years younger than Cheng Chi......

Old Madam Guo couldn't help but sigh helplessly in her heart.

That day, Mrs. Fang Cheng Chi came to greet her and talked about asking Zhou Shaojin to come over to accompany her.

Before she could speak, Cheng Sheng's stupid girl clapped her hands and said, "...... Shao Jin's temperament is the most supple, but the three of us sisters are now married, and we can't be with our grandmother as before, so we just pulled Shaojin over to be my grandmother's companion. Then he grinned, "It would be nice if you could embroider a picture of a baby or something for me." ”

That girl's heart is too real, and she is really ready to embroider a picture of Cheng Sheng's baby.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Guo asked the pearl serving beside her: "What is Miss Second Watch doing?" Haven't you finished copying the scriptures? Mrs. Liao come over and ask her to say hello to Mrs. Liao! ”

Mrs. Liao was a little surprised, and said, "I didn't expect the second lady of the in-laws to be here today!" ”

She heard Zhou Chujin say that Zhou Shaojin often came to Chaoyangmen to accompany Mrs. Guo these days, she thought it was just talking and being a companion, but she didn't expect to copy scriptures.

Mrs. Guo said: "She used to follow me to Putuo Mountain to worship the Buddha, and she is proficient in Buddhism, and I often ask her to help me copy some Buddhist scriptures." ”

Mrs. Liao smiled: "I didn't expect the second lady of the in-laws to be good at copying scriptures. ”

Mrs. Guo said with a smile: "She has to write well, dignified and beautiful, natural penmanship, and has some skills." ”

Mrs. Liao listened to Mrs. Guo's kiss as if she liked Zhou Shaojin very much, and said with a smile: "Since the person who can be favored by the old lady, he must also be a wonderful person." She mentioned Fang Xuan again, "...... The handwriting is also good, so it's better to let her be a companion for Shaojin. ”

Old Madam Guo politely refused: "I'm afraid that the second wife of the Fang family will be heartbroken, and I can't bear her to suffer this." ”

Fang Xuan's father is in the Fang family.

Mrs. Liao was bent on facilitating this.

Others don't know, but the people of the Fang family know that the long house and the second room are separated, and they took 1.2 million taels of silver.

All this silver was earned by Cheng Chi.

Such a capable man is still from a two-list jinshi, and looking at the entire government and the opposition, it is estimated that he will not be able to find a second person except for Song Jingran, the prime minister.

She hurriedly smiled and said: "The Fang family is also strict, and the girls who have not come out of the cabinet don't say that they copy scriptures for the elders, even if they make shoes and socks, they often sleep on the third and fifth watches!" ”

Mrs. Guo still politely refused: "...... Shaojin has almost finished copying the scriptures of the seventh and a half years, and it is not good to copy two kinds of scriptures for the Bodhisattva. Let's talk about it later! ”

Mrs. Liao had no choice but to take a break and come out of the Cheng family to the Fang family.

Second Mrs. Fang listened and said, "Since this is the case, this matter will be settled. Ah Xuan also grew up in the palm of my hand, how could she be wronged like this. If the eldest lady hadn't talked about it herself, I wouldn't have agreed. The age difference between the two is too great. ”

"You're such a fool!" Mrs. Liao was friendly with Mrs. Fang Er when she was a girl at home, and there were not so many twists and turns when she spoke, "Whose girl is not like a treasure when she is in front of her parents, but how many people can be like a treasure in her in-laws?" Your heart hurts now Ah Xuan looks at other people's eyes, so used to being spoiled, what will you do if you get married in the future? I'm afraid there will be times when your heart hurts even more! You've figured it out. If you can't even look down on someone like the Cheng family, and you are not satisfied with a family like Mrs. Guo, what kind of family can you find? Don't regret it then! ”

Second Mrs. Fang hesitated.

Mrs. Liao's words are not good, but they are very reasonable.

Mrs. Guo has always been generous to her daughter-in-law, and she is a century-old family in the south of the Yangtze River, a family of etiquette, poetry and books, she gave Fang Xuanxiang several families are far from the Cheng family, and she does not dare to keep her daughter from marrying without being tortured by her mother-in-law, and the competition between the concubines is competitive.

That Cheng Chi is the youngest son, and at Cheng Jing's age, he can give birth to such a big son. Yuan's eldest daughter-in-law naturally wouldn't meet a little girl who was younger than her daughter...... Think about it carefully, in addition to age, if it can be successful, it is an excellent marriage. In addition, Mrs. Liao persuaded on the side, "Anyway, I just went to Chaoyangmen to hang out, whether it succeeds or not, it depends on Ah Xuan's fate", she finally agreed.

The next day, he sent someone to Chaoyangmen to post it.

Old man Guo smiled with the sticker, and it happened that Zhou Shaojin came over. She saw that Zhou Shaojin had changed the nervousness she was when she saw her a few days ago, and the corners of her mouth showed a slight smile, and she couldn't help but wonder if Cheng Chi had said something to her again.

Without waiting for her to ask, Zhou Shaojin had already moved: "My father has sent a letter, saying that I will stay in Beijing and accompany you more." ”

Old Madam Guo was silent for a moment.

After such a thing as Cheng Xu, Zhou Zhen is still willing to let her daughter accompany her...... It can be seen that Zhou Dacheng's heart is still good, regardless of whether he is an in-law or not, at least he will not cause trouble and bring trouble to the Cheng family.

She said, "Mrs. can decide when to go back?" ”

Zhou Shaojin said with a smile: "Mrs. will leave tomorrow - my father's birthday can't be caught up, and my wife said that I can go back early to make up for my father's birthday!" ”

Mrs. Guo smiled and nodded, gave the Fang family's post to Zhou Shaojin, and said, "Your second wife is not in good shape, and occasionally helps serve tea next to her, and it is okay to talk with her, but it is not possible for her to entertain guests." I'm old and my spirit is not strong, so you can help my second wife handle this matter together. ”

Zhou Shaojin subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then he thought that he had made up his mind to please Mrs. Guo well, so he respectfully agreed.

Mrs. Guo bowed her head in satisfaction and called out to Mrs. Wei to come in and admonish.

Mrs. Wei Er has been miserable these days, if it weren't for Cheng Sheng's heartache for her, she stayed here at Chaoyangmen for a few days, she was afraid that she would not be able to support it for a long time. Hearing that Zhou Shaojin would help her with the middle feed in the house these days, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and as soon as she came out of Mrs. Guo's house, she took Zhou Shaojin's hand and said, "It's very simple to actually host the middle feed." There are rules for everything in the house, just act according to the rules. ”

Zhou Shaojin has never been in contact with it, and he is still a little nervous.

When the day when Mrs. Fang's second wife, Mrs. Liao's eldest wife brought her and Fang Xuan over, she mustered up the courage to go to the Hanging Flower Gate with Mrs. Wei to greet the three of them.

The three of them were stunned when they saw Zhou Shaojin.

The second wife explained with a smile: "My body is not good, so the old lady asked Shaojin to help me." ”

Second Mrs. Fang and the others laughed and stepped forward to salute Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin returned the salute without being arrogant or humble, and welcomed the person to the banquet room with Mrs. Wei.

Second Mrs. Fang took Zhou Shaojin's hand and didn't let go, and smiled at Mrs. Guo: "Look at Second Miss, how sensible she is." Unlike our family, Ah Xuan, she knows how to play. If our family Ah Xuan can go to the guidance of the old lady and be as quiet as the second lady, I will rest assured! ”

compared himself with Zhou Shaojin......

Fang Xuan hugged Mrs. Fang's arm and said, "Mother, why do you belittle me like this?" ”

Everyone in the room laughed.

Second Mrs. Fang took the opportunity to say: "Last time, our family Ah Xuan couldn't stop telling me how good the old lady was to her, if she can get your guidance and marry a good family when she grows up, her father and I will have nothing else to ask for in this life." ”
