Zhou Shaojin was quite worried about Jiying.

Last time, Ji Ying also said that the Jiao family wanted to settle accounts with her, and they went to Hangzhou Mansion from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is the territory of the Cao Gang.

She was afraid that Jiying would be discovered.

The Spring Festival Gala smiled: "Miss Jiying is sleeping in the house!" He said that he didn't sleep well at night, and he had to sleep well during the day today. ”

Zhou Shaojin breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Hotaru may also be afraid of being discovered by the Cao Gang!

It's always good to be cautious.

In the evening, they changed to a small three-masted sand boat.

It is said to be small, but it is actually compared with those five-masted sand ships docked at Zhenjiang Wharf.

The sand boat they sat on was more than 400 feet long, with a towering mast and a long and narrow canopy, like a behemoth in front of Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin looked up at the sand boat, and his heart was very shocked.

When she got on the boat, her eyes widened and she was speechless when she saw the mirror-painted deck and the cabin, which was more than twice the size of yesterday's boat.

The Spring Festival Gala and others are naturally not as calm as Zhou Shaojin. A few people touched the big bookcase made of nanmu for a while, and touched the floor cover carved with grape pomegranate entwined branches for a while, and couldn't stop praising it.

Fan Liu couldn't help but sigh: "If Shi Xiang knew, he would definitely regret not following the second lady to see it." I can follow the second lady on this trip, and I have no regrets about dying. ”

"Nonsense!" Zhou Shaojin doesn't like Fan Liu's tone, they will definitely live better than in the previous life in this life, and Fan Liu's will also be fine, follow her to see more scenery and go to more places.

Fan Liu regretted and said: "Look at my mouth......"

In the future, when the second miss gets married, she will follow the second miss and will naturally go to more places.

It's really unpleasant.

She laughed.

Bi Tao exclaimed in a low voice: "Sister of the Spring Festival Gala." Look! The tables and chairs are all fixed to the ship. ”

Zhou Shaojin and Fan Liu turned around, and saw that the Spring Festival Gala was pushing the Taishi chair in front of her hard: "Hey, it's really fixed!" ”

"Are you afraid that we will fall?" Bi Tao asked.

Fan Liu said: "I have heard that sometimes walking on the sea will encounter strong winds and waves, not to mention the things in the cabin, people will overturn, this ship must be walking in the sea." ”

"Really? Are you sure? "Bi Tao is excited to take a look here. Look there. said, "I don't know if this boat was borrowed by the Cheng family or by Master Chi Si." ”

"It should be the Cheng family, right?" The Spring Festival Gala guessed, "I heard from the steward outside." Our Cheng family also has a fleet. ”

Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips and smiled.

Our Cheng family...... When did the maid she brought over already claim to be the Cheng family!

She gently pushed the window open half a foot wide.

Surrounded by smaller boats, she could easily see a pair of young men and women beside the open window on the opposite side, lying side by side on the window looking out and talking intimately.

She blushed and hurriedly closed the window. instructed the Spring Festival Gala: "Quickly pack up our things, we still have to go to greet Mrs. Guo!" ”

The cage had been lifted long before they had boarded the boat.

A few giggles at the Spring Festival Gala should be "yes". Hands and feet quickly packed up things.

Zhou Shaojin freshened up, waited until the Spring Festival Gala put all her usual things in her usual position, and went outside to take a look, and saw that there was no one on the deck. Only then did he hug Zhou Shaojin and go to Mrs. Guo's cabin.

As in the painting boat, Cheng Chi lived in the bow of the boat, and Mrs. Guo lived in the middle. Zhou Shaojin lives next door to Mrs. Guo, and then back. It's some of the servants of the Cheng family.

Who knew that as soon as they entered the door, a daughter-in-law came in and said, "Madam, the lady of Zhenjiang Tong's judgment statement came to greet you." ”

Mrs. Guo was a little surprised.

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly stood up and said, "Then I'll go back to the cabin first, and I'll come back to chat with you later!" ”

Old Madam Guo waved her hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome, you can accompany me to see you, this Mrs. Chen also has a little relationship with our family - her father used to be a colleague with the old lady of our family, and I also hugged her when she was young." It's just that since the old lady died, the two of us haven't moved around much. When she asked people to post in the afternoon, it was Mama Lu who reminded me, and I remembered. ”

There's nothing to move around, is it because people are going to tea or is it because the two families are just general friends?

Zhou Shaojin thought about it and met Mrs. Chen with Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Chen looked like she was thirty-five or six years old, tall, fair-skinned and plump, wearing a lilac-colored charred cloth than a carapace, and when she saw the old lady Guo's eyes were red, she choked up and said: "The concubine has wanted to visit the old lady for a long time, but because she hasn't seen her for many years, the concubine is afraid that the old lady will not remember the concubine for a long time, so the concubine does not dare to go." I didn't expect the old lady to remember the concubine......"

Mrs. Guo smiled and asked Mama Lu to help Mrs. Chen, and said softly: "You don't have to be polite, I'm old and my memory is not good, so I don't come out to socialize much, but I don't know that you are in Zhenjiang now." I heard a few years ago that your father passed away, is your mother okay? Is it in his hometown or with your brother in Dongguan, Guangdong? How many children do you have now? How big is it? Is it Childe or Miss? ”

Speak cordially, like a gentle breeze and drizzle.

This is a side that Zhou Shaojin has never seen.

She couldn't help but listen carefully.

Mrs. Chen responded one by one, and the two talked about the old things, and when the sky darkened, Mrs. Chen had changed her name to call Mrs. Guo her aunt, and said: "Don't leave tomorrow, let the concubine do her best to be a landlord, accompany you to Zhenjiang for a walk, and it will not be too late for you to leave for Hangzhou." ”

"No need!" Mrs. Guo politely declined, "I went to Putuo Mountain to worship incense, and I can't go late." ”

Mrs. Chen was disappointed.

The wife of Gao Yao, the prefect of Zhenjiang, came to visit Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly stood up.

Mrs. Guo didn't move.

A trace of discomfort flashed on Mrs. Chen's face, and she pointed to what Zhou Shaojin was about to ask, when Mrs. Gao walked in.

"Aunt Cheng!" Mrs. Gao respectfully saluted Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo owed a debt and motioned for Zhou Shaojin to step forward and return the salute.

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly stepped forward to give Mrs. Gao a blessing.

Mrs. Gao still remembered her and said with a smile: "I said, why doesn't the old lady have anyone to serve when she travels?" It turned out that the second miss of the Zhou family followed. I knew that I would bring the restless person in our family over to meet you, and let her see what it means to be a lady. ”

Zhou Shaojin blushed and said shyly, "Don't dare."

Then Mrs. Chen glanced at Zhou Shaojin.

Mrs. Guo relieved Zhou Shaojin: "She is a little girl, and she is thin-skinned. Don't tease her. Your family and Shiro are good friends, and I will ask you to be a junior, I will leave early tomorrow morning, if you really want me to be a guest in your house, and I will talk about it when I come back from Putuo. ”

Mrs. Gao smiled and said, "Old lady, you are so powerful, I can't say a word." Since you treat me as a junior. Then I'm not polite to you. When you come back from Putuo Mountain, I will wash your dust again. ”

Mrs. Chen was laughing beside her, and finally had the opportunity to salute Mrs. Gao.

Mrs. Gao naturally knew her. smiled and called "Mrs. Chen", but his eyes looked towards Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo introduced the relationship between the two families.

Mrs. Gao treated Mrs. Chen a little more enthusiastically.

Mrs. Chen was overjoyed, and flattered Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Gao, and waited until Mrs. Gao said goodbye. Mrs. Chen even helped Mrs. Gao to get off the boat.

Zhou Shaojin, who saw off the guests on behalf of Mrs. Guo, couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Cheng Chi's voice suddenly came from behind her: "What's wrong?" Tired? ”

Zhou Shaojin was startled and turned around hurriedly. Who knew that when the foot stepped on the cloak, the rope of the cloak strangled the neck.

She hurriedly unfastened her cloak, and it took a breath to pass through, but the blood was already pouring all over her face. It's hot.

Cheng Chi didn't seem to see it, and said indifferently: "It's not early, let's go and rest!" Tomorrow is still a good day. If only I could get up in the morning. You can go to the bow of the boat to watch the sunrise. The sky is full of sunshine, and watching the sunrise from the mountains is another scene. ”

Zhou Shaojin promised in a low voice.

Cheng Chi returned to the cabin.

Zhou Shaojin's breathing became smooth.

Will she go to see the sunrise tomorrow?

Zhou Shaojin thought of Ji Ying, criticizing her for not looking at the tide of Tanghu and going to the temple fair. decided to invite Hotaru to watch the sunrise together.

I didn't want to gather Hotaru but said: "I can't show up tomorrow, you better go alone!" ”

Zhou Shaojin was a little disappointed, but she was also very understanding, and told Jiying to be careful and let the Spring Festival Gala wake her up early tomorrow.

The Spring Festival Gala should be launched.

The next day, before dawn, she woke up Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin walked out of the cabin, and there were several strange men in the bow of the boat, looking at the dressed men, like the shipwrights on the ship.

She didn't dare to go out, she opened the window and stared out the window, watching a white light gradually glow in the river sky, and then the glow slowly burst out, slowly dyeing the eastern sky red.

Those literati are proud to be able to watch the sunrise on the top of Mount Tai, and it would be good if they could go to Mount Tai to watch the sunrise one day.

Zhou Shaojin inhaled deeply, and the cool air in the early morning was moist and fresh, which made everyone feel energetic.

※

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sand boat lifted anchor.

Zhou Shaojin stood in front of the window of the boat, watching the Zhenjiang wharf getting smaller and smaller.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Guo asked Biyu to invite her over to play the leaf card.

Zhou Shaojin's head is as big as a fight, but he can't help but go.

There are mostly servant women on the boat, so you can't let Mrs. Guo always play with those servants, right?

Zhou Shaojin played the leaf card for an afternoon and lost seven taels of silver.

Or I saw too much of the same scene on the shore, and two days later, Mrs. Guo put a leaf card in the house again.

In this way, for several days, Zhou Shaojin's afternoon was spent at the table.

When she had breakfast in the morning, she looked at Cheng Chi as if she was asking for help.

Cheng Chi didn't seem to see it, and used his meal calmly.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but be discouraged.

In the afternoon, halfway through the cards, Cheng Chi walked in.

Mrs. Guo hurriedly greeted him: "Are you done with your business?" ”

"There's nothing to be busy with." Cheng Chi said, walked to Zhou Shaojin's side leisurely, and suddenly said, "Play Sanwen." How can you play six ropes with this card! ”

Like last time, Zhou Shaojin didn't know why, but he still beat Sanwen out without thinking.
