Chapter 583: True and False
For such a big matter, I must tell Mrs. Guo about it.
Mrs. Guo pondered for a moment and asked Cheng Chi: "Do you think it's good to buy land at this time?" Do you want to wait a few more years? ”
When the family was separated, Cheng Chi only divided the house in Chaoyangmen.
Cheng Chi knew what Mrs. Guo meant, and said with a smile: "I want to sort out the calligraphy, paintings, antiques and other things at home." First, Brother Yun is older, and he wants to see more of the things of his predecessors, and secondly, some ordinary collections can be sold partially, and they can also be used as gifts between relatives and friends...... It makes sense to buy a grange first. ”
Old Madam Guo nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Since you have made up your mind, you will do as you say." ”
Cheng Chi smiled and agreed with Mrs. Guo to start cleaning up the family's treasury in two days.
Of course, Zhou Shaojin knew that there was no shortage of silver at home, and he could sell his collections...... She always felt that it was a seller, and something was not good. But Mrs. Guo had already agreed, she couldn't say anything in front of Mrs. Guo, but before she got on the way back, she couldn't help but talk to Cheng Chi about it: "The treasury is the hard work of several generations, or I will sell a few granges under my name, and I can make up more than 10,000 taels of silver, and then we will change to a bigger grange." Thinking that Cheng Chi is not the kind of person who will use his daughter-in-law to marry, he hurriedly said, "Just write it in my name." Anyway, it will be given to Brother Yun in the future. ”
Cheng Chi patiently explained to her: "There are many things that I collect because I like them, and some things I collect because others think they are good." The things we like ourselves must be kept, but the things that others think are good. If we keep them in the storeroom forever, it will always be just a painting. These things are only valuable if they are taken out and sold for purchase. Otherwise, why what is the collection of prosperous times, the gold of troubled times? These things are only worth money if they are taken out and traded. ”
Zhou Shaojin vaguely understood.
Cheng Chi asked her to go with him to clean up the treasury.
Zhou Shaojin went with great interest, but was driven out by Mrs. Guo: "These calligraphy and paintings in the warehouse are all put with insect-proof powder, Shaojin is a double-body person, how can he come here." "Scolding Jasper and taking her to the garden, "At this time, the wisteria, roses, cherry blossoms, and pomegranates are all blooming, and you accompany your wife to enjoy the flowers." ”
Biyu hurriedly went to help Zhou Shaojin.
Zhou Shaojin had no choice but to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers.
Cheng Chi sent her out. whispered: "I see something beautiful, I'll keep it for you." ”
Zhou Shaojin nodded. He pursed his lips and smiled.
Within a few days, there was news in the capital that Cheng Chidian sold his ancestral collections.
Hearing Fan Liu's words, Zhou Shaojin was dumbfounded, and it took a while to react. Displeased: "Who is this talking nonsense there?" No matter how depressed our family is. It's not like selling the collection of the ancestors to live, right? "Again." What other rumors are there that there are not? ”
Fan Liu was more worried than Zhou Shaojin, and said, "I haven't heard of other rumors. However, it is always not good for the fourth master to spread such words...... Madame should find a way to clarify. ”
But how can such a thing be clarified?
You can't just talk to someone!
Zhou Shaojin thought that in her previous life, when she followed Lin Shisheng into the palace to congratulate the emperor and the queen mother, everyone would talk about some short parents, and she heard a lot of gossip like this.
It would be nice if there was such an occasion!
But if she wants to clarify Cheng Chi through such an occasion, she must first enter such an environment.
Zhou Shaojin thought and couldn't help but clench his fists.
In the past, she was too timid, and she always felt uncomfortable standing in the crowd, but now she is Cheng Chi's rightful wife, and Cheng Chi supports her, what is she afraid of?
Having made up her mind, she wrote a post to Mrs. Peng Cheng, asking her to go to the dragon boat race together on May 15.
Although it was still early on May 15, Mrs. Peng Cheng was very happy to receive the post.
Cheng Chi is now more and more valued by the imperial grandson, and there are many things that the imperial grandson will ask him about. Although he didn't say anything in front of the imperial grandson, it was also the icing on the cake to be able to befriend Cheng Chi.
Mrs. Peng Cheng readily responded.
It's just that Zhou Shaojin didn't expect this to spread so quickly, and even the Qiu family was shocked.
She came to greet Mrs. Guo.
Afterwards, he quietly went to the courtyard where Zhou Shaojin lived, and pulled Zhou Shaojin under the grape trellis in the yard to speak: "When the family was separated, I saw that the three brothers were the same. But Uncle Chi's money is all folded in this house, and there is not much cash. Nowadays, things are selling more and more expensive every day, and it is not easy to maintain such a large house. Although it is not easy for us to get by, our expenses are small, but we also save every year. If you don't dislike it, I still have more than 10,000 taels of silver savings here, and before you use it to buy a small grange, you will also have a fixed income every year. ”
Zhou Shaojin was very grateful, and even said "no".
Qiu said, "You don't have to be polite to us. Your second uncle also said that your mother lives with you, and you have worked hard in the morning and dusk. If there's anything we can do to help, be sure to say it. ”
"Not really." The family is affectionate, Zhou Shaojin likes this atmosphere very much, she smiled, "If it was really difficult, Shiro would have told the second uncle a long time ago." The reason why I sell those calligraphy and paintings is that there are too many at home, and Shiro doesn't like it very much, saying that he wants some 'sword for heroes', so that they are worth it. ”
Qiu Shi suddenly, couldn't help laughing, and said, "I want to screw it." When I heard that it was rain, I thought you really had to live by pawning things! ”
"It didn't come to this." Zhou Shaojin explained carefully to Qiu's family, he didn't expect things to get worse and worse, Yuan Weichang and Gu Jiuzhen and others came to ask Cheng Chi what was going on, and the imperial grandson simply gave a small house with forty or fifty acres of land on the outskirts of Wanping County, and asked the waiter to bring a message to Cheng Chi, so that he could teach with peace of mind, and said that "there is Yan Ruyu in the book, there is a golden house in the book, and there are thousands of chestnut rice in the book", and the book was read. There is a day when it comes to its own beginning.
Cheng Chi laughed and showed the title deed to Zhou Shaojin.
Zhou Shaojin was very nervous and said, "The imperial grandson won't misunderstand that you don't have money, right?" If he knew that we had the money to buy the Grange, would he think you were cheating? ”
"I guess so!" Cheng Chi said with a smile, "When he gave me the title deed, his face was full of sympathy, and there were other courtiers present at the time, he seemed to be afraid that he would refuse and make him lose face, so I had to take it - then our family's grange will not be bought for the time being, and we will talk about it in a few years." ”
Zhou Shaojin couldn't stop nodding.
Cheng Chi said with a smile: "The imperial grandson not only gave us the grange. The head of the village was also given to us. They are used to eating imperial food. I may not be willing to help us take care of the Grange, I want to send Fan Qi over to see, if he can afford it, this Zhuangzi will be handed over to him. ”
This is also a workout for Fan Qi.
Zhou Shaojin agreed for him.
After Fan Liu found out, he kowtowed to Zhou Shaojin several times. Pat your chest and promise that you will take good care of the Grange.
This is the first industry that Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin bought after they got married.
Zhou Shaojin naturally believed in Fan Liu's loyalty.
Two days passed. Qin Ziji took Fan Qi to the Grange.
In the evening, Fan Qi came back and said, "The grange over there is not big. But the location is very good, not far from the Yongding River, when the wind and rain are good. The grain harvested in one year can be chewed for two years.
Zhou Shaojin was very happy and instructed him, so he asked him to say goodbye to Fan Liu.
The little maid who served Cheng He came to her, saying that Cheng Cheng had been officially appointed as the county leader of Moxian County, and Cheng Zhi saw Cheng Cheng off for Cheng Cheng, and asked Cheng He to go over to drink together: "... Uncle He didn't agree. The little maid said in a brisk voice, "I said that there will be a competition in the country in two days. ”
Seeing that Cheng He knew what he knew, Zhou Shaojin breathed a sigh of relief and asked the maid to go to the kitchen: "What I made today is chestnut rice cakes, which are easy to restrain and resist hunger, and I will take it to make crumbs for Uncle He." ”
The little maid went away happily.
Zhou Shaojin put this matter behind him, brought some good tonics and went to see Jiying with Brother Yun.
Ji Ying's belly is still nowhere to be seen, and she still has to hug him when she sees Brother Yun.
Zhou Shaojin was startled, hurriedly stopped Ji Ying, opened his eyes wide, and said, "You won't be the same as before, right?" ”
"I don't feel anything." Ji Hotaru touched her stomach and muttered quietly, "Sometimes I wonder if I'm mistaken...... If it's a diagnostic error, it's a big joke. As she spoke, she glanced at the servants who were two-thirds more numerous than before.
"Nonsense." Zhou Shaojin comforted her, "If one is wrong, will two or three be wrong?" ”
At first glance, when he heard that Jiying was pregnant, Qin Ziping didn't believe it, and invited four or five doctors in a row to diagnose Jiying's pulse.
Ji Ying smiled and led Yun Ge'er to her backyard.
Under the camphor tree, there is a low plum blossom stake.
Ji Ying smiled: "Brother Yun, I'll let someone tell you to walk the plum blossom pile." ”
Brother Yun was very interested, but Zhou Shaojin didn't let them play this.
Ji Ying saw that Brother Yun was eager to try, and couldn't bear to refuse Brother Yun, so he called a maid to come over and tell Brother Yun to take the flower pile.
Yun Ge'er immediately stepped on the low plum blossom stake, and looked at the little maid with sparkling eyes and told her how to go.
The little girl blushed and told Brother Yun to take the plum blossom pile.
Zhou Shaojin and Ji Ying leaned on the beauty under the corridor, drinking tea while watching Brother Yun practice plum blossom piles.
"This maid is going to do this! Where did you find it? Zhou Shaojin asked Jiying.
Ji Hotaru smiled: "It's for you to pick the rest." I saw that it was good, and I was going to come over. ”
Zhou Shaojin was surprised and said, "Are the martial arts of the eldest and second girls very good?" ”
"Of course." Ji Hotaru smiled, "Not only to be good, but also to be loyal......"
The two were talking happily, when a little maid from Chaoyangmen ran in and said, "Fourth wife, let the eldest grandmother start, Mrs. Tai asked you to go over and have a look." “
Zhou Shaojin confessed his guilt to Ji Ying, and walked out in three steps and two steps, and asked on the way, "When was it launched?" Who was there at the time? Are both the mother and the nurse ready? What is the second sister-in-law doing now? Has Xie's maiden family ever told me? ”
Although it is a bit overstepping for the mother's mother to take care of the breastfeeding pregnancy, the law is nothing more than human affection, and the Qiu family treats the Xie family as a daughter, so naturally he does not pay attention to these things with her.
