Chapter 180: Uneasy (Pink Ticket 1770 Plus Update)
Zhou Shaojin didn't think it was a joke.
She smiled and took the invitation and said, "I'll tell my sister to go." β
Hongrui left satisfied.
Zhou Shaojin threw the post to herself in the paper basket, took the post for Zhou Chujin and went to her sister.
Zhou Chujin took the post and looked at it, and asked her sister, "Are you going to go?" β
"Not ready." Zhou Shaojin said, "If I don't take the post, then Hongrui is afraid that she will still chatter, and she may even attract Grandma Zhi." I'm just going to go. β
Zhou Chujin smiled: "Then I won't go either." β
Zhou Shaojin said: "I'm going to hide in the Hanbi Mountain House, do you want my sister to go with me." β
"No, you don't." Zhou Chujin pursed his lips and smiled, winked at her, and said, "I also have a place to go!" β
Zhou Shaojin was surprised.
Zhou Chujin told her: "In those days, the people of the He family will come over to discuss the marriage, and I will help the eldest aunt entertain the people of the He family." β
When people in Jiangnan get married, the woman wants to marry the family, and the man wants to buy real estate. The wedding date is set, and the family who is going to marry the daughter will come to the man to look at the house, and then buy a full set of household belongings according to the size of the house.
Zhou Shaojin smiled: "Then I'll help." β
"You'd better hide in the Hanbi Mountain House." Zhou Chujin pointed out and said, "Grandma Zhi mainly invites you, if you have a ** attitude, she will definitely have a second time." β
Not bad. If she goes to help her aunt, she will think that it is a coincidence. But if she hid in the Hanbi Mountain House, she made her attitude very clear.
Zhou Shaojin's eyes lit up and said, "I don't know what my grandmother will say?" β
Zhou Chujin reminded her: "If my grandmother is afraid of offending the second room, how can she listen to your words and go to investigate the matter of the sacrificial field!" β
Zhou Shaojin was relieved.
On the day of the poetry meeting held by Grandma Zhi, she went to the Liyin Pavilion to find Cheng Chi to play chess after breakfast.
Cheng Chi dropped the half-read book. Ask her, "Do you play backgammon or three?" β
Zhou Shaojin's cheeks were slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "Can you play backgammon?" β
"Okay!" Cheng Chi readily agreed, and instructed Qingfeng to bring the chessboard over, and placed it under the corridor of the Liyin Pavilion, and said, "I'll let you have two sons." β
Five seeds are connected into a piece, so that two children ......
Zhou Shaojin was eager to try and gladly agreed.
Cheng Chi smiled: "You're welcome. β
Zhou Shaojin grinned: "Uncle Chi is an elder. In front of the elders. What do I have to be polite! β
They had played Go, and Uncle Chi must have known each other's levels.
Cheng Chi smiled slightly.
In the first set, when it comes to the tenth hand. Cheng Chi won.
Zhou Shaojin smiled wryly.
In the second set, she dealt with it carefully, and when it came to the seventeenth hand, Cheng Chi won.
Zhou Shaojin was greatly encouraged.
The third set. She went down more carefully.
When it was time to go down to the twelfth second-hand, Qingfeng came over. whispered a few words in Cheng Chi's ear.
Cheng Chi nodded and continued to play chess with Zhou Shaojin.
Zhou Shaojin suspected that someone from Grandma's side came to her, but since she was here to avoid trouble, don't say that Cheng Chi didn't say anything. Even if he didn't know what he said, she would pretend not to understand and not leave.
She continued to play chess with Cheng Chi.
Over there, Mrs. Guo got the news and said with a smile: "Are the two of them playing chess in the corridor?" β
"yes!" Jasper laughed. "It's said that Miss Second Watch has been losing."
Old Madam Guo smiled and said, "It can be seen that Miss Erbiao's chess skills are good. Otherwise, Shiro wouldn't have been with her all the time. He also said: "The corridor of the upper room of the Liyin Pavilion sits in the north and faces south, and the east side is a sandwich road, which is the coolest in summer." It's a great place to play chess. Then he instructed Biyu, "You take twenty taels of silver to the kitchen, and let them prepare some snacks for the fourth master and Shao Jin." β
Jasper responded crisply, went to the jade and weighed the silver and took it to the kitchen.
Where did you dare to accept it in the kitchen, or Jasper was good at talking, so she trembled and accepted the cashier, picked up the snacks that she was good at and made a few things to serve over, and a little maid brought melons and fruits to serve beside her.
Cheng Chi was idly using snacks.
Zhou Shaojin was in a daze when he played chess, reached out and took a plum and gnawed it slowly.
The two of them leisurely went down ten plates.
Zhou Shaojin won a game.
She suddenly bent her eyebrows, and her morale was greatly boosted, and she brushed the chess pieces aside, and said, "Let's play another game." β
Cheng Chi leaned lazily on the back of the chair and said, "It's not early, do you have to go back for lunch?" β
Zhou Shaojin smiled stupidly, got up and said, "I have something to find Jiying." β
Cheng Chi raised his eyebrows with a smile.
Zhou Shaojin's face was hot, he didn't dare to look at Cheng Chi more, and went to the back room with a smoke.
Ji Hotaru was bathing, and when she heard that she was coming, she asked the little maid to invite her to the inner room for tea.
Zhou Shaojin said curiously: "In broad daylight, it's not dog days, what kind of bath do you take?" β
The little maid didn't know either.
As he was talking, Ji Cocoon walked in with wet hair and said vaguely, "I got up in the morning and moved, and I was sweaty." Then he said, "Aren't you playing chess with the fourth master?" How did you come to me? β
Zhou Shaojin told Jiying that her grandmother invited her to participate in the poetry meeting.
Ji Hotaru laughed, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, you just stay here, no one will want to take you away." β
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly thanked her.
Ji Hotaru asked her, "What do you like to eat?" Do I let the kitchen do it? After lunch, you can take a nap with me, and go to copy the scriptures in the afternoon. β
Zhou Shaojin nodded again and again, and instructed the Spring Festival Gala: "You go and see what happened to Grandma Zhi?" β
The Spring Festival Gala turned around and walked out of the wing.
Nanping heard that she was coming, came over to say hello, and heard that Ji Ying left Zhou Shaojin to eat, and Zhou Shaojin also responded, she smiled and asked a few more dishes to be added to the kitchen, so she left the space to Zhou Shaojin and Ji Ying.
The two had just sat down at the table, and the Spring Festival Gala came back. She said: "Grandma Zhi's side has just opened a banquet, and all the ladies who came here are from various families. In the morning, I sent people to look for you everywhere, but later I heard that you were playing chess with the fourth master, so I didn't look for you again. But he left a message for the maid of Wanxiangju. Let you go back anyway, and there are a few young ladies who want to introduce you to you. β
Zhou Shaojin was silent.
This was what she hoped for, but I don't know why, when she heard the Spring Festival Gala say this, her mood was very complicated.
She thought of Cheng Chi's slightly nonchalant demeanor when he played chess with her.
Uncle Chi must have known the purpose of her going to him to play chess early on.
That's why I agreed so readily.
And then like a messy child, not only did he not demolish her very tolerantly. also patiently accompanied her to act. Quietly relieve her.
It's like treating a firefly.
Because he knew that Jiao Ziyang was not a person worthy of entrusting Jiying for life at all, he didn't say a word when the Ji family was replaced, and even when Jiao Ziyang misunderstood Jiying as his roommate, he didn't justify it. So much so that Ji Hotaru has been misunderstanding him. When Ji Ying returned to Cheng's house in trouble, he remained silent and took Ji Ying in without saying anything, and the people of Ren Ji's family used him as a shield. There are also two bedrooms. With such a calculation, he just smiled and didn't say anything.
Is it because of this. That's why Uncle Chi left Jiuru Lane in his previous life?
There are some things that cannot be said, and when they are said, they do not care about brotherhood; There are some things that cannot be done, and doing them is disloyalty and unfilial piety...... Even he was obviously unhappy, but for the sake of Mrs. Guo. He spent a whole morning sitting there playing backgammon with himself, that is, to tell Mrs. SΓΉ Guo that he was doing well in the Hanbi Mountain House. It's a pleasure.
He must have been depressed.
Just like my previous life, I just wanted to get married as soon as possible - and if I got married, I would be able to get out of here. It's about living a new life......
Zhou Shaojin felt a faint pain in his heart, and his joy of refusing to recognize the eldest wife also vanished.
Zhou Chujin was very happy and said, "The eldest cousin's dowry is estimated to be eight thousand taels of silver. I think she is the eldest daughter, and there is a younger brother underneath, so Mrs. He has to save a little, but I didn't expect it to be such a big deal. It can be seen that I am very satisfied with my cousin's son-in-law......"
She said for a long time but no one responded, and when she turned around, she found that Zhou Shaojin was sitting there with her elbows on her cheeks in a daze.
Zhou Chujin patted her sister's head with a smile and said, "What are you thinking?" Regret not eating Chengjiang North Building and Mei Yan Lou food? β
"How so?" Zhou Shaojin smiled, "I'm thinking about how to repay Uncle Chi...... He has helped me so many times, but I can't help him with anything...... I always felt indebted to his ......"
"This debt is the most difficult to repay." Zhou Chujin sighed and comforted her, "The days are still long, and I will talk about it when I have a chance in the future." β
Zhou Shaojin nodded solemnly.
Zhou Chujin talked about holding incense and giving incense: "...... Both of them are born in a family, and I have asked Zhixiang a long time ago, and she is willing to follow me to marry the Liao family. Shi Xiang is much older than you, I want to ask you, do you have any arrangements for Shi Xiang? If not, I want to bring a letter to her mother and Lao Tzu, and ask them to come over and finalize Shi Xiang's marriage. β
Zhou Shaojin said: "Then call her mother and Lao Tzu over!" I'm afraid this matter is more reliable than her own mother and Lao Tzu. β
In her previous life, Shi Xiang married a boy who was in the same grange as her mother and Lao Tzu, and her surname seemed to be Shi, and she was doing well.
In this life, good things are better not to change.
Zhou Chujin ordered to go down and asked people to bring a letter to invite Shi Xiang's mother and Lao Tzu to come over.
Later, Shi Xiang received the letter, and her eyes were full of tears.
What she is most worried about is being pointed at by Zhou Shaojin, and now that she has her mother and Lao Tzu in charge of her, no matter how bad she is, she will not marry someone who lacks arms and legs.
In this way, Zhou Shaojin has one less person to serve by his side.
The Spring Festival Gala has always been effective, Zhou Chujin is ready to wait for Shi Xiang to be released, so he will be promoted to the Spring Festival Gala to be the big girl in Zhou Shaojin's house, and then choose one from the one he is serving now to make up for the lack of the Spring Festival Gala.
Zhou Shaojin directly ordered the maid named Bi Tao.
In her previous life, after Shi Xiang left the house, her sister chose Bi Tao to serve her, and later she had an accident, and both the Spring Festival Gala and Bi Tao served wholeheartedly. If it weren't for the help of these two maids, she was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to drink saliva.
This is what Zhou Shaojin meant, and Zhou Chujin didn't interfere, and directly pulled Bi Tao into Zhou Shaojin's house and asked the Spring Festival Gala to take her.
Seeing that the two young ladies were generous and easy-going, the servants in Wanxiang Juli felt that they had a head, and everyone was smiling and smiling, looking more energetic than the people in the other courtyards.
