Cheng Xu walked aimlessly on the green tree-shaded road.

Huanxi couldn't help but say, "Uncle, where are we going?" ”

Cheng Xu thought for a while, and said abruptly: "Let's go back to Duojiaxuan!" Go back and practice a few pages of words, and when the time comes, I will bring it to the fourth uncle for guidance. ”

Cheng Chi's calligraphy is quite famous among the scholars of Jinling City.

At that time, I will also have the opportunity to visit the fourth uncle again.

Huanxi breathed a sigh of relief.

If the uncle doesn't study well, the lady will definitely think that she is instigating the uncle to play.

He said attentively: "I heard that cherries and plums are on the market, so go and help the uncle buy some and come back to try them, right?" ”

Huan's words reminded Cheng Xu.

He likes to eat cherries, and the people in the family always think about it, and the little guys will think of ways to buy it from outside to honor him, and his mother will also specially ask Mr. Qin to go to the fruit farmers to harvest the freshest, that is, his grandmother, and when the cherries are on the market, they will also make a special trip to buy them for him.

Only by doing what he likes can he please a person.

"Huanxi," Cheng Xu muttered, "you say, if I help her clean up the person she hates the most, will she not be angry with me and look at me differently?" ”

Huanxi's brain turned around before he realized that the "she" that Cheng Xu said was Zhou Shaojin.

He laughed, "Of course. Doesn't the book say that 'it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, but it is easy to add the icing on the cake'? You're a godsend! ”

Cheng Xu was happy when he said this, he patted Huanxi's shoulder and said, "Didn't you take a fancy to a pair of gold bracelets in Yongfusheng last time?" Later, I will go to Jasper for twenty taels of silver, and I will reward you. ”

"Really!" I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and thanked me again and again.

On the top of the hill made of Taihu Lake stones piled up in the Guiyuan Courtyard, the beauty surrounded by the red lacquer railing stood next to the Huaishan Mountain shaped like a withered bamboo, and his Cheng Xu and Huanxi's figure slowly disappeared into the green trees, and then turned around and walked into the flower hall with the plaque of "Qingyin Pavilion", and whispered: "Master, Uncle Xu is gone." ”

The plum blossom hexagonal window sash in the three-wide flower hall is inlaid with transparent glass, spacious and bright, and the sunlight shines directly in, falling on the man wearing an indigo muslin robe in front of the big bookcase, and the white skin is like the finest flawless jade, moist and shiny, revealing grace and dignity, but also revealing indifference and alienation.

"Really?" He put down the pen in his hand, looked at the rice paper spread out on the bookcase, and said lightly, "Didn't you say that Wende Pavilion made a batch of ink this time?" Ask their shopkeeper to send a few ingots over and have a look. ”

Huaishan should be "yes", and stop talking.

Cheng Chi stood quietly in front of the bookcase, raising his wrist and waving ink.

All I could hear in the Qingyin Pavilion was the rustle of pen falling on rice paper and the rustling of the wind blowing through the leaves.

Huaishan was silent for a long time, and quietly retreated.

In Jiashu Hall, Zhou Chujin was talking to Mrs. Guan about Sanzhixuan: "...... Fortunately, I met Uncle Chi of the long house, otherwise it would be difficult for things to end. ”

"This big man, I didn't expect to be so reckless." Mrs. Guan was a little disbelieving, frowned, and said, "However, although the fourth master of the long room is cold and indifferent, his actions are very reassuring - he doesn't care, if he manages it, there is nothing that can't be done, especially in the past few years, taking care of the housekeeping at home, and becoming more and more capable." Since he intervened, you can rest assured that he will never say it. As for thanks, if you meet them, try them, and if he doesn't want to say more, don't mention them again. If you don't meet it, you don't need to make a special trip to thank you. He is a person, to put it nicely, he is dust-free, he has the style of Jin and Wei, and if he doesn't sound good, he has a strange temper, unruly, and idle people don't look at it at all, and you have two sentences, that is to look down on you, he can't look down on you, and he doesn't care about you when you put your hot face in the past. But he is in charge of the housework, and he can't ignore it. You can see the five-room Master Wenda. The people in the family were a little respectful of him. You haven't dealt with him before, you will know when you do. ”

This is the first time my grandmother has commented on someone like this.

Zhou Chujin was a little surprised, but she had always been convinced of her grandmother's opinion, smiled and responded "yes", and said strangely: "Aren't the long rooms and the second and third rooms separated?" Even if you have to deal with Uncle Chi, it's a matter of the long room, what does it have to do with the fifth room? ”

Mrs. Guan smiled: "You don't know. Master Chi Si is still a God of Wealth. In the early years, after the long, second and third rooms were separated, the third room stood on its own, but the long room and the second room were still together. Previously, it was the old lady Li in the second room who was in charge of the affairs of the two families, and then the old lady Li in the second room died of illness, and your uncle Yi was young, so the general affairs of their two rooms were taken over by the old lady Xun of the long room. The old lady Kexun is an official in Kyoto, where will he take care of the housework? and pushed it to the second room. The ancestor of the second room was in his prime at that time, and he was unwilling to take it over at all. You will push the two-room housekeeper over, and I will push it over. Later, there was really no way, so I let Mrs. Guo take care of it for a few years.

"Although Mrs. Guo is a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, but in the end, she is a woman, and some things are restricted. However, after three or five years of hard work, the three-room family is dominant, and the long and second rooms can barely be regarded as keeping the ancestral business. It wasn't until the fourth master of Chi took over, the days of the long room and the second room were not extremely Tailai, cooking oil with fire, not only adding a few hectares of sacrificial fields, but also doing ticket number business with people in Anhui, the so-called 'Li Wei in the north, Yutai in the south', this Li Wei, refers to the 'Wei number' ticket number of the Li family in She County, and 'Yutai' refers to the 'Yutai' ticket number of our Cheng family.

"Because the 'Wei Zihao' is a partnership between the Li brothers in Shexian County, the fourth master of Chi built a partnership with several of us. The Cheng family can learn not to ask a blockage, and concentrate on learning, a few masters can be relieved to accumulate in the official career, and the days of our few rooms can be more and more prosperous, all because of the division of the 'Yutai' ticket number, even if the temper of the fourth master of Chi Si is weird, who dares not to bear it? At the end of the words, Mrs. Guan laughed.

Zhou Chujin had never heard of these things before, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"These are all the chores of our Cheng family," Mrs. Guan said with a smile, "You are juniors, you are usually fine, who told you this?" ”

In this way, the right to speak falls to the Cheng family's room.

Zhou Chujin thought of the awkwardness of the third room in the past few years, and doubted: "Is the third room also in the house?" ”

"Who is going to have trouble with money." Mrs. Guan said with a smile, "At the beginning, the long room and the second room accounted for the majority, the third room, and we and the fifth room accounted for the small head, but the third room said that they were relatives and also partnered in business, and they were afraid that there would be a disagreement in plain form, so they didn't join the gang." The old lady said, her smile faded, and she sighed, "At that time, your eldest uncle was still thinking about his career, and I was also counting on him to shine on the lintel, and your second uncle was a stunned young man, who didn't understand anything, and all the things at home were on me." I thought that your eldest uncle was going to enter the Beijing imperial examination, and your second uncle was going to worship famous teachers, and he was going to die or live, just this once. So he took out the money and recognized the share of the third room. Unexpectedly, the fourth room prospered like this...... Later, Sanfang regretted it, salivated and begged Mrs. Yuan, Master Jing, and Master Wen of Wufang to make trouble again, and wanted to turn the shares of the ticket number into silver, and Sanfang had the opportunity to buy shares, just like that, Changfang only let him buy half a share. ”

Zhou Chujin didn't expect Cheng Chi to be so capable.

No one in the Cheng family is proud of him, maybe because he is doing businessmen's business, right?

Zhou Chujin felt a little sorry for him, and said: "If Uncle Chi goes to be an official, it will definitely be a plan!" ”

There are not many civil servants, and one of them will be regarded as a treasure by the household department, and I dare not say anything else, a squire can survive.

Mrs. Guan smiled: "Who said it wasn't!" But the fourth master of Chi said that there was already a Song Jingran in the household, so he wouldn't go to join in the fun. It's better to go home and take care of your own accounts. ”

Song Jingran, Song Xu, Hubu Shangshu, a scholar of Dongge University, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, a world-famous counter.

Zhou Chujin was speechless and said, "He has a really big mouth!" ”

Old Mrs. Guan laughed twice and said, "Young man, you have the ability, how can you not be ...... in tone?"

The old man didn't finish speaking, there was a little maid, Mama Wang came back, and the topic shifted from Cheng Chi to Hanbi Mountain House: "...... Uncle Xu knelt down for breakfast, and when he came out, his legs were not very neat. Mrs. Yuan stood aside and didn't dare to say anything, and saved Uncle Xu from fainting. ”

Mrs. Guan couldn't help but sigh and said, "After all, I walked outside and acted decisively." Chu Jin, you quietly tell Shaojin about this matter, so that she doesn't have to worry, Mrs. Guo is like a mirror, and Uncle Xu doesn't dare to mess around. And then there'...... About Uncle Xu...... She's doing a great job...... Mrs. Yuan is only afraid that she has already planned for Uncle Xu's marriage, otherwise she would not have spoken to Uncle Xu until now, Uncle Xu is seventeen years old this year...... As for her marriage, don't worry, I'll help her take a look! ”

Zhou Chujin understood what her grandmother meant, and took the opportunity to tell Cheng Zhen about it.

Mrs. Guan was so angry that she almost closed her breath, and asked Mama Wang to invite Cheng Wei over with a blushing face: "...... Dare to love our family to raise a white-eyed wolf. If you don't find out early, you have to wait to be counterattacked! ”

Mama Wang also felt that the matter was serious, so she hurriedly went to the outer courtyard.

Who knew that Cheng Wei was called by the ancestor of the second room to smell the fragrance of the wood and accompany the guests.

Mrs. Guan had no choice but to put this matter down first, and said to Zhou Chujin: "After all, I won't let your sisters suffer." ”

Of course Zhou Chujin knew, thanked Mrs. Guan, and waited until Zhou Shaojin came over to greet Mrs. Guan, and Zhou Chujin sent Zhou Shaojin to school.

On the way, she whispered what the old lady told her to Zhou Shaojin.

A big stone in Zhou Shaojin's heart fell to the ground.

After the bright road, no one will believe Cheng Lu if he plays any tricks in the future, right?

Speaking of this, she also has to thank Cheng Xu.

If it weren't for Cheng Xu telling her, she was afraid that she would have been kept in the dark.

One report and one report.

Those things in the previous life haven't happened yet, she and Cheng Xu don't owe each other!

Zhou Shaojin broke up with her sister at the door of Jing'an Zhai with a smile.

turned around but was grabbed by Cheng Ji's shoulders: "Why did you come so late?" What did you say to Pan Qing yesterday? Why did Pan Qing run to his grandmother early in the morning and say that our sisters have not seen each other for a long time, and they want to go to class with us in Jing'an Zhai like they did when they were children......"
