Minghe saw that Zhou Shaojin's face was flushed, even his neck, which was also tinged with a faint pink, and couldn't help but smile.

This second lady of the Zhou family is really thin-skinned!

And Zhou Shaojin felt embarrassed, so he simply talked to Minghe cheekily: "Is the girl in charge of needlework in Uncle Chi's house?" I want to cut two winter coats for my father, and I'm looking for a dress, I don't know if the girl has any recommendations? ”

Minghe was a little surprised, but still smiled: "The needlework in our master's house has always been managed by Sister Nanping, I am just a tea and water-pouring, clothes or something, I really can't help." The second lady might as well ask Mrs. Wang, she is the best at these! ”

Speak deeply.

Denied......

I'm still too anxious.

Zhou Shaojin was stunned, it was not good to say anything, and when Wang Niangzi personally sent Minghe out and folded back, her mood recovered slightly.

Fortunately, there are still people who are just as curious as her.

"I didn't expect such an outstanding girl as Minghe to be just an errand runner in the fourth master's house." Hongrui, who was serving beside Grandma Zhi, said with a smile, "I don't know what kind of fairy-like character the Nanping girl in charge is?" ”

Wang Niangzi laughed when she heard this, and said, "Do you look at Minghe like an errand runner?" There are three big girls in Chi Si's old man's house, she is one of them, and she is the craziest, she dares to go here and there, so everyone is most familiar with her! ”

Three big girls?

Isn't it supposed to be four?

Zhou Shaojin's eyes were shining.

She asked Mrs. Wang: "In addition to Minghe and Nanping, what is the name of the other big girl in Uncle Chi's house?" ”

"It's called Jihotaru!" Wang Niangzi said, turned around and took a few black jade stones the size of a grain of rice, handed them to Hongrui, and said, "Do you think this is okay?" ”

"Okay, okay, okay!" Hongrui thanked her repeatedly, but stood still, looking like she was waiting to hear what Wang Niangzi said.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang was also interested. She said: "Don't look at me helping Miss Minghe do needlework, with Nanping here, it will not be our turn to work in the fourth master's house." It's just that the crane girl is hearty and generous, and often comes to us to visit the door, and some little things come to us, so we can't push it, right? That's how to be a good person...... That's it, most of these things are not Miss Minghe's own - Miss Minghe is not so particular, nine times out of ten it is explained by Miss Naruta, and Miss Minghe is troublesome, so she pushes it to us......"

Small things such as summer socks are usually made by little maids and used to practice their hands.

Looking at her flattering appearance, who would believe this?

Zhou Shaojin was still jubilant in his heart.

Ji Hotaru, is it really Uncle Chi's maid?

But she doesn't look like a maid?

also instructed Naruto to help her run errands...... The crane can't be ......

Could it be that she is Uncle Chi's......

For a while, many thoughts popped up in Zhou Shaojin's heart...... It wasn't until she came out of the needlework room and Hongrui said goodbye to them that she came back to her senses.

“…… I'm grandma's companion, it's been a few years since I've been here, and this is the first time I've walked so far, can I go to play with you in the future? Hongrui asked Xiaotan.

Xiao Tan is also quite shrewd, and said with a smile: "I am now serving the second lady to copy scriptures in the Buddhist hall, and it is rare to walk around outside in leisure, if you come to play, you have to ask the little maid to bring me a message in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to find me." ”

Haste makes waste.

Hongrui was not reluctant, smiled and bent her knees to salute Zhou Shaojin, and broke up with them at the fork in the road.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but ask Xiao Tan: "Do you know why there are only three big girls in Uncle Chi's house?" ”

Xiao Tan said: "Maybe the person I served before has not been able to make up for it since he got married, right?" ”

Such an answer is tantamount to no answer.

Zhou Shaojin said: "The old lady just asked?" ”

Xiao Tan thought about it carefully and said, "Our old lady seems to have never been here to care about the affairs of the fourth old man's house. ”

Zhou Shaojin couldn't find an answer, and returned to the Hanbi Mountain House with some frustration.

Biyu saw it and smiled: "What? They gave you a look on the face? ”

"No, no." Zhou Shaojin hurriedly said, "That lady Wang is quite enthusiastic. But I met Uncle Chi's Minghe, and I heard that Uncle Chi's needlework was controlled by Nanping, so I wanted to see her craftsmanship. ”

Biyu was surprised, and then smiled: "If I can help you with something else, I can't help you in this matter - a few sisters in the fourth old man's house are not moving around, although I have been in the Hanbi Mountain House for seven or eight years, but I can only occasionally meet a few sisters in the fourth old man's house during the New Year's holidays, let alone any friendship." In this matter, the second lady is only afraid that she will have to beg the old lady. The old man opened her mouth, and the fourth master's service there was absolutely no reason to refuse. ”

"Forget it then!" As long as Zhou Shaojin thought of Mrs. Guo's majestic face, she suddenly became a little short of breath, "You can't trouble her old man for these trivial things." ”

Seeing that she was wilting and lacking her spirit like a frosted flower, Biyu's heart softened, she thought about it for a while, and said, "Why don't I ask Onyx to help you ask?" She sometimes asks Nanping's sister for advice. Listening to Onyx's usual tone, Sister Nanping is still very easy to speak. ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhou Shaojin was overjoyed when he heard this, and his face lit up, "I'm just a little curious." Even the people in the needlework room in the house pressed down......"

Who is Ji Hotaru? She's sure she'll be able to see some clues when the time comes......

Zhou Shaojin snickered in his heart.

Onyx was lukewarm about the matter of sending a message to Nanping.

This made Zhou Shaojin inevitably have a lot of speculation.

Xiao Tan comforted her in private: "Sister Onyx's heart is a little high, Second Miss, don't take it to heart." Since Sister Biyu confessed, she will help even if she is in the way. ”

"But I owe Jasper a big favor after all." Zhou Shaojin felt that the jasper people were very good, so he pulled the jasper in for nothing, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

Xiao Tan smiled: "That's because the second lady is very good!" ”

Zhou Shaojin was stunned.

Xiao Tan said: "The old lady has rewarded something, and the second lady always invites us to eat together." Once, I accidentally dipped the second lady's plain silk yarn fan in water, and the second lady didn't say anything......"

If the somen silk fan is stained with water, it will leave a mark and cannot be used.

Zhou Shaojin listened to the movement in his heart and said, "Are you someone from Jasper?" ”

Xiao Tan grinned and said, "I have followed Sister Biyu since I was a child. ”

It's like a master leading an apprentice.

Zhou Shaojin thought about it and felt that his luck was still quite good.

Since I arrived at the Hanbi Mountain House, I have also handed over people who treat me well.

A few days later, Onyx came to tell Zhou Shaojin: "I have already told Sister Nanping, Sister Nanping said, don't dare to give advice, if the second lady doesn't understand something, you can ask the little maid to bring things over, and she will help you change it." ”

But her purpose is to meet Ji Hotaru......

But having said that, if she insists on it, it will inevitably make people doubt her intentions.

Zhou Shaojin thanked him sullenly.

The corners of Onyx's mouth twitched, as if she had something to say to her.

Zhou Shaojin was reluctant to be sloppy with her, and said bluntly: "Do you have anything to tell me?" ”

Onyx hesitated for a moment and said: "There is a lot of work in the fourth master's house, and Sister Nanping is so busy these days that she doesn't have the time to sleep, and the second lady can directly order her if she has anything, so she doesn't necessarily have to consult Sister Nanping...... She's just famous...... The people in the needlework room saw that the fourth master didn't need them, and deliberately killed Sister Nanping......"

It turned out that Onyx was dissatisfied with her for this!

Zhou Shaojin suddenly smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong. Since it is a garment to honor my parents, how can I borrow the hand of others? It's true that I listened to the people in the needlework room and wanted to see it. ”

Onyx was relieved and apologized to her shamefully.

"It's good to say it's open, it's good to say it's open." Zhou Shaojin said with a smile, she really felt that Mrs. Guo was amazing, and even the maids and servants around her were all above board.

She suddenly felt that the Hanbi Mountain House was cold, but it also made people feel at ease.

Back in Wanxiangju, Zhou Shaojin told her sister about it.

Zhou Chujin knew that she liked these quiet jobs, thinking that her sister was probably just like those who like to write, when she met a person who was skilled in calligraphy, she always had to find a way to look at the calligraphy and painting works and see the person who wrote.

"What did Mrs. Guo say over there?" She was only worried that Zhou Shaojin would not be able to keep busy, "Don't delay the matter of copying scriptures." ”

"I haven't told Mrs. Guo about this yet!" Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened and said, "I'm just going over to take a look, I don't have to be like this, right?" ”

She didn't really go to Nanping to be a girl......

Zhou Chujin can think about it.

Maybe that Nanping is just in vain.

If it is truly deserved, it is not too late to act solemnly.

Zhou Chujin didn't say anything anymore, and personally sent his sister out the next morning.

Zhou Shaojin listened to Aunt Shen's class, asked Aunt Shen for leave, and packed up her things and prepared to go home.

Cheng Ji pulled her and said, "Where are you going?" Dressed so plainly today? ”

Zhou Shaojin's dark green silk was curled, and he wore a lake blue plain gown, and only wore a pair of silver pearl ears on his ears, with soft eyebrows and pleasing eyes, beautiful and gentle.

"It's too hot, I want to go back early." She saw that Pan Qing next to her was listening, so she didn't tell the truth, "If you also feel hot, it's better to take a leave of absence tomorrow." ”

"That's a great idea!" Cheng Ji giggled and let Zhou Shaojin leave Jing'an Zhai.

Zhou Shaojin breathed a sigh of relief, and went to Xiaoshan Conggui Courtyard with Onyx and Xiaotan, who were waiting next to Xiaohongqiao.

Along the way, there is a light breeze and cool shade.

Onyx also changed his indifference a few days ago, and talked to Zhou Shaojin: "There are many rules on the fourth master's side, and the rules are also big. Whoever is on duty and who is on duty is clear. The servant woman did not dare to move around. The fourth master has not married, and the affairs of the inner courtyard have always been taken care of by Sister Nanping, who has served the fourth master since childhood. I was afraid that I would be wronged by the second lady later, so I went directly to see Sister Nanping with me......"

Even in the inner courtyard, each family has a relationship with the streets of the city. What kind of guests come and who receives them are all particular.

In other words, in Uncle Chi's inner courtyard, there is no serious person in charge!
