Ji Ying didn't notice Zhou Shaojin's eyes at all.

She was flustered!

When she went home, she looked like she had escaped and ascended to heaven, she didn't know how happy she was, and she didn't even go to say goodbye to Cheng Zichuan. As a result, a few days after she went back, she came back in a gloomy manner, and hid in the house like a thief, and did not meet Cheng Zichuan at all.

Most of the Cao Gang's affairs can't be concealed from Cheng Zichuan, with Cheng Zichuan's uncertain temperament, will he take her in, let alone her, even her father is a little uncertain, just repeatedly told her, "You gritted your teeth and only said that you came back to see, and after seeing your parents and brothers, you will naturally go back, if he doesn't admit it, I still have a ten-year appointment with him, don't worry, you don't have to be afraid."

How could she not be afraid?

If her father had been sure, would he have told her like this repeatedly?

If Cheng Zichuan doesn't take her in, what should she do?

Zhou Shaojin had never seen such an expression on Ji Ying's face, as if he had made a big mistake.

She hurriedly stepped forward to hold Ji Ying's hand and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, Uncle Chi is very good, you can remember not to lose your temper later, and talk to him well......"

It's just that before she finished her words, the mother-in-law outside the door had already shouted "Jiying girl" urgingly.

Zhou Shaojin's hands were very soft and warm, and Ji Ying's heart slowly calmed down.

Anyway, there is no turning back, it's a big deal to fight and die, what's the big deal!

No, even if she can turn back, she will not regret cutting off Jiao Ziyang's arm with a sword.

Then what is there to regret and be afraid of!

Ji Ying's heart was suddenly full of courage, nodded at Zhou Shaojin with a smile, and went to open the door.

The mother-in-law outside the door has a pair of vicissitudes of life, looks like she is in her fifties, tall and thin, her black hair is neatly curled behind her head, wrapped in a coarse cloth scarf with indigo printed white double lotus patterns, a peach wood hairpin, and a coarse magpie robe with indigo plain face, which looks clean and tidy, capable and refreshing.

"Miss Second Cousin." She respectfully greeted Zhou Shaojin, but her expression was neither humble nor arrogant, as if the wife of the head of any family did not look like a servant woman at all.

Ji Ying pointed at the woman and said, "This is the Shang Mama who serves by the side of the fourth master." ”

Zhou Shaojin greeted her with a smile, thought about it, pulled Ji Ying aside, and said to her ear: "Don't be afraid." My cousin is getting married, so I asked Uncle Chi to be a matchmaker......"

I was afraid that there was no relationship with the matchmaker, but this person was replaced by Cheng Chi...... Why is it so ridiculous!

Ji Hotaru couldn't help but laugh.

She knew that this would definitely make Hotaru's mood easier!

Zhou Shaojin said, "Then you can go quickly!" Don't let Uncle Chi wait long. ”

"Thank you!" Ji Hotaru sincerely thanked her and went to the main courtyard of the Ori Yin Pavilion with Shang's mother.

Zhou Shaojin went to the Buddhist hall to copy the scriptures.

When the light in the room gradually dimmed, she put down the pen in her hand, wondering if she should not be so diligent, and if she continued like this, she could finish copying it by the end of April at most.

She sighed as she flipped through the small stack of scriptures that remained.

The Spring Festival Gala heard the movement and walked in, and said, "Second Miss, Miss Jiying has been waiting for you outside for an afternoon!" ”

Zhou Shaojin's heart jumped, and he stood up and walked out of the Buddha Hall.

The afterglow of spring is a little short, Ji Hotaru is sitting under the corridor of the Buddha hall and looking at the sunset in a daze, the orange glow falls on her face, making her facial features soften.

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "Why don't you come in?" ”

Ji Hotaru looked back with a smile and said, "Have you finished copying your scriptures?" I'm afraid to disturb you. Listen to Shi Xiang, you are almost finished. I think you must want to finish copying it early so that you can go back to Wanxiangju. I didn't have anything else to do when I came to you, Cheng Zichuan, well, the fourth master is still very good, he called me over, and only said that I would listen to Nanping's words in the future, Hanbi Mountain House is no better than Zaoyuan, if I dare to make a mistake again, send me home. She said, pursing her lips and laughing, her eyebrows indescribably cheerful, "I may really have to follow you to learn from girls in the future!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhou Shaojin was also happy for her, and said, "I'll just say, Uncle Chi is not the kind of hard-hearted person, if he has the ability, he will definitely take you in." ”

Ji Ying felt that she couldn't agree with this sentence, but Cheng Chi was still very grateful for opening up to her this time, so when she heard Zhou Shaojin say this, she nodded with a smile.

Zhou Shaojin said: "This is something worth celebrating...... Well, why don't you come to me for dinner? No, you'd better go back and talk to Nanping first, and see if you're on duty? If not, go to my place for supper; If you're on duty, we'll change it to the day you don't be on duty. Anyway, you've already stayed, and there's no rush for a day or two. I just think it's good and it should be celebrated! ”

Ji Ying smiled when she heard this, and said, "The fourth master didn't say anything about me on duty, I think it should be okay." ”

"Is it really okay?" Zhou Shaojin confirmed, "This is the first day you come back, don't make a mistake on the first day." ”

"Ouch! You're really long-winded. Jiying pulled Zhou Shaojin and left, "Go to your place to eat!" You asked the kitchen to cook me something delicious, I've been scared for the past few days, I haven't slept well, I haven't eaten well......"

Zhou Shaojin giggled, waited for the Spring Festival Gala to pack up his things, and went back to Wanxiangju together.

Cheng Chi was looking at the account book, and saw Huaishan walk in, and said, "Ji Ying went to Wan Xiangju?" ”

"Hmm!" Huaishan said, "Miss Zhou's second cousin said that this is something worth celebrating, so I invited Ji Ying to Wanxiangju for dinner." ”

Cheng Chi nodded and continued to look at the ledger.

Huaishan stood there unmoved.

Cheng Chi raised his head and said, "Anything else?" ”

The corners of Huaishan's mouth twitched, and he mustered up the courage to say: "Fourth master, the Ji family calculates us like this, can we just calculate it like this?" ”

Cheng Chi said: "You all know that the Ji family is calculating us, don't the Ji family themselves know?" The Cao Gang doesn't know? ”

Huaishan didn't understand.

Cheng Chi didn't bother to talk to him, and said, "If you don't understand, go ask Qin Zi'an." ”

Huaishan bowed his head and walked out of the study.

Cheng Chi stroked his forehead and continued to look at the account book.

Huai Shan found Qin Zi'an.

Qin Zi'an was talking to Qin Ziping, and when he heard Huaishan say something, he said: "The reason why the fourth master let Ji Ying come back is mainly because the Ji family has always been respectful to the fourth master - anyway, compared to the Cao Gang, the Ji family is barely a person of the fourth master, and the reason why this Cao gang has the idea of Ji Ying is also for the fourth master, and the fourth master can't let outsiders step on his head, right?" This is also for others to see, let others know that as long as they are loyal to the fourth master, the fourth master will never let them be bullied.

"Besides, the Ji family didn't say anything and sent people here, they were just the fourth master borrowed the road when they didn't know how to lift like the Cao Gang, otherwise the Ji family would not have sent the sister-in-law as a hostage afterwards, although the later sent a daughter-in-law, but Ji Ying is the Ji family's most talented martial arts talent, the Ji family wants to continue to be the king and hegemon in the Central Plains in the future, Ji Ying's martial arts skills are one of the most important guarantees for the Ji family. Now that the Ji family and the Cao Gang are in a big fight, the Ji family can be said to be unable to take care of it for a while, and it is Ji Ying who ran back by himself. But when the matter between the Ji family and the Cao Gang is over, can the Ji family still pretend not to know? Since you lost the number of etiquette before, do you want to make up for all the etiquette after that? The Central Plains does not produce salt, they occupy the entire Central Plains, whether it is Huai Salt, Zhejiang Salt or Sichuan Salt, if they want to enter the Central Plains, they have to look at the face of the Ji family, do they have to consider giving a piece of the pie to the fourth master! Then he said, "Don't worry, Jiying is very valuable, and the fourth master won't kick her out." ”

"I'm not Danjihotaru, I know what you said." Huai Shan said, "I just think the fourth master is very strange now, why did he suddenly become so easy to speak......"

Qin Zi'an pricked up his ears and listened.

Huai Shan said angrily: "I've heard it a long time ago, but there is no one outside." ”

Qin Zi'an's expression was slightly relaxed, and he said in a low voice: "The fourth master said that he was leaving, but he never said where to go. The big is hidden in the court, and the small is hidden in the city. I think this matter should have something to do with where the fourth master is going......"

Huai Shan nodded in agreement and said, "Then you have a little frown in your heart?" ”

"Nope!" Qin Zi'an said very honestly, "Anyway, I have made up my mind to follow the fourth master, and I will go wherever he goes." His gaze fell on Qin Ziping's body, "Anyway, my father still has a son." ”

Qin Ziping, who had been looking a little swaying, immediately came back to his senses when he heard this, and said, "I'm also going to go with the fourth master, don't beat my idea." Then he didn't care what Qin Zi'an's expression was, and said, "Fourth master...... Do you really think that Ji Hotaru is very valuable to take her in? What if the family loses the handsome? Isn't that set of Hotaru dangerous? ”

"What are you worried about Jihotaru doing?" Qin Zi'an asked, his eyes burning, as if he wanted to see the bottom of Qin Ziping's heart all the time.

"No, nothing!" Qin Ziping felt uncomfortable for a moment, but quickly recovered and said, "I just think that Ji Ying has been with us for a few years, and thinking about what happened to her, I think she is quite pitiful." ”

Qin Zi'an did not speak.

Huaishan blinked, but didn't speak.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became a little stagnant.

Qin Ziping hurriedly said, "By the way, have you heard of it?" The fourth room of the uncle is going to be engaged, the fourth room invited the old lady to come forward, saying that the fourth master and the eldest master of the Gu family will be the matchmaker, and in two days the fourth master and the eldest master of the Gu family will go to Pukou to propose to the uncle! ”

"We all know that." Qin Zi'an said lightly, "Sifang just wants to borrow the identity of the fourth master and the two ranks." The fourth master should be a clay sculpture of the Bodhisattva and sit there. But you, do you have anything to say to me? ”

"What do I have to say to you?" Qin Ziping muttered quietly, but his eyes didn't dare to look directly at his brother.

Huaishan smiled and said, "Will the fourth master really go that day?" Shall I go along? To be honest, I really can't imagine what the fourth master looks like there. I don't know what kind of character the eldest master of the Gu family is? It would be bad if you talked as little as the fourth master......"

The two Qin brothers ignored him, glaring at each other like cross-eyed.
