After August 15, the Liangguo Mansion sent a funeral.

The Cheng family also set up a road sacrifice on the street.

Zhou Shaojin was a little sad, and sat quietly in front of the window embroidering a forehead for Mrs. Guo.

Cheng Ji came to look for her, changed her previous chatter, and just sat there and watched Zhou Shaojin do needlework.

After a few days, the mood of the two improved.

Zhou Shaojin calmed down and copied the scriptures.

Someone looked at her from outside the temple.

Zhou Shaojin looked up and saw Jiying standing in the middle of the courtyard.

She smiled at Jihotaru.

Ji Ying thought about it, walked over, and asked her through the window lattice, "You copy scriptures like this every afternoon?" ”

"yes!" Zhou Shaojin said with a smile. The smile is as quiet and calm as the gentle water of the lake.

Ji Yingbi was a little surprised, and said, "It seems that you really like it, not pretending." ”

In his previous life, many people thought that Zhou Shaojin's quietness was forced and did not care.

Zhou Shaojin didn't want to argue with Ji Ying about this, she asked, "Why are you here?" Is Uncle Chi back? ”

Last time, she sent Shi Xiang to deliver moon cakes to Xiaoshan Cong Guiyuan, but Qingfeng told Shi Xiang Cheng Chi to go to Huai'an and didn't come back yet. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a lantern festival at home, and there was no trace of Cheng Chi.

Ji Ying heard her mention Cheng Chi, pursed her lips, and said, "The fourth master hasn't come back yet." I came with Nanping. The old lady left Nanping to speak, I was idle and bored, walked around, and came to you. ”

Zhou Shaojin said curiously: "What is the matter with the old lady looking for Sister Nanping?" ”

Ji Hotaru said: "Who knows! Nine times out of ten, it's for the affairs of the fourth master, and I can't think of anything else besides this matter. ”

"Doesn't the old lady care about the affairs of Uncle Chi's house?" Zhou Shaojin asked.

"Even if it doesn't matter," Ji Ying said with a look of reluctance to talk more, "but I will also call Nanping to come and ask." ”

Zhou Shaojin didn't want to ask more.

Ji Hotaru said: "The moon cakes sent last time are said to have been made by yourself?" ”

"I did it with my sister." Zhou Shaojin said honestly, "My mother-in-law on the stove helped with the dough, and my sister adjusted the filling, so I helped wrap it." ”

Ji Ying nodded slightly after hearing this, and commented: "That moon cake is not bad." ”

Zhou Shaojin thought that Cheng Chi was a man, and most of them didn't like sweets, so he deliberately filled some mooncakes filled with plum vegetables and sesame seeds. I didn't expect everyone to think that the mooncakes filled with plum vegetables and sesame seeds were delicious, but unfortunately Uncle Chi hadn't eaten them.

While the two were talking, a little maid came over and asked Jiying: "...... Miss Nanping said she was going back. ”

Ji Hotaru said goodbye to her.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but think.

I wonder when Uncle Chi will come back?

Within two days, Ji Hotaru came to the door.

She came very suddenly, Zhou Shaojin was doing needlework, she asked Zhou Shaojin through the window lattice: "I heard that you are a good girl?" ”

Zhou Shaojin didn't react for a while.

When he reacted, he first looked around.

Ji Hotaru came over, but there was no one who was well-informed.

Shi Xiang and the Spring Festival Gala were not there, and the little maid on duty was sitting on the threshold dozing.

How can you doze off in the early morning?

Zhou Shaojin muttered in her heart, stood up a little embarrassed, and invited her to come in for tea.

"No need." A little embarrassment flashed in Ji Ying's eyes, and he said, "I have something I want you to help me do, I wonder if you are free?" ”

Zhou Shaojin was stunned.

She glanced at the cloth head in the rattan basket and said, "I don't know what you're going to do?" If you're not in a hurry, it's okay, but if you're in a hurry, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it for a while. ”

Zhou Shaojin felt that Ji Ying seemed to be relieved, although her expression was still a little cold, but the whole person was much lighter than before she was asked.

"Don't wait to use it." As she spoke, she took out a piece of moon-white Songjiang Sanshuo muslin and said, "You can help me make two pairs of men's socks." There is no need for embroidery or edging, it is simple. ”

"Huh?!" Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened.

"Oh!" Ji Ying reacted and said busily, "It's not me doing it for others in private, it's the work that Nanping gave me, and it's your Uncle Chi's." ”

Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened.

Ji Hotaru had to explain: "Isn't this autumn? Winter clothes are being made in every room. Your Uncle Chi's winter clothes are Nanping is in charge of, she will give me some small work every year, I originally wanted a few little maids to do it, but Nanping said that your uncle has not added a new leather jacket for two years, and this year he has collected some good leather, and he wants to make a leather jacket for your uncle for two years. Those padded jackets, robes, and so on were all distributed to the little maids. I went to the needle room, and the needlework room was also busy. In addition to the winter clothes in the second room, there are also things for Miss Xiao and Uncle Xiao's children, and they are all embroidery, and the sewing room has not rested for two months. I said that I would give money to someone outside to do it, but Nanping disagreed, as if I had secretly given your Uncle Chi's things to someone else, so I had to bring them to you......" She said, her eyes swept over the vine blue in front of Zhou Shaojin, and said, "I also know that you are very busy, and I guess you are making a birthday gift for Mrs. Guo." You don't have to do it yourself, you just hand it over to a little girl who is about the same as a red woman. When the time comes, I will take you to the Six Livestock Farm to eat delicious food. ”

It took Zhou Shaojin a while to figure out what Ji Ying said.

"How can you find a little maid to make socks for Uncle Chi?" She glared at Ji Hotaru in confusion, "Aren't you a female celebrity?" If Miss Nanping knows that you are not a female celebrity, why do you have to make socks for Uncle Chi? Nanping girl doesn't look like that kind of person who embarrasses people? ”

Ji Ying snorted coldly when she heard this, and said, "Why are you the same as Nanping?" Is Cheng Zichuan an emperor? Why does his socks have to be made by someone who is close to him? Someone else has done it, will he itch when he wears it? ”

Zhou Shaojin's face turned red when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "That's not what we meant...... I just think it's a bit bad to hand over things close to me to people I don't know......"

"He's not a woman!" Ji Ying interrupted Zhou Shaojin's words disapprerovingly, "I think Cheng Zichuan is spoiled for you people." I don't eat this, I don't drink that, I don't look like a man at all! ”

Do you say that about your host's maid?

Zhou Shaojin opened his mouth and stammered.

Ji Ying coughed lightly when she looked at it, and said, "I'm just talking about your Uncle Chi in private, I don't mean anything else." ”

"Oh!" Zhou Shaojin felt that she must have said this in private more than once.

Ji Ying coughed lightly a little uncomfortably under the gaze of Zhou Shaojin's clear eyes that seemed to reflect her reflection, and said, "Then let's just say it." You can help your Uncle Chi make four pairs of socks. Just do it before the Chinese New Year. As he spoke, he dropped the cloth in his hand and was about to leave.

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly called out to her and said, "Why don't you help Uncle Chi do it?" If you're not a good girl, I can sue you! You can't always make Uncle Chi's things worse than this, and then worse than that. If Mrs. Guo knew, she would be so sad. The jasper and jade on her side are very good, but they are just a few pairs of socks, and her old man is relieved to hand over Uncle Chi to you to serve, and no one on your side even makes a pair of socks......

Ji Hotaru was about to leave, and slowly turned around, "What did you just say?" ”

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but be shocked when he saw her eyes burning, and said in a spitting voice: "I said, Mrs. Guo handed over Uncle Chi to you to serve......

"No, no." Ji Hotaru shook her head, "You say, you can sue me for doing ......" she said, clapping her hands and laughing, "Yes, yes, that's a good idea." From tomorrow onwards, I will come to you to follow you to learn from you. In this way, what else do I say when I look at Nanping? ”

But in this way, isn't she involved in the contradiction between Nanping and Jiying?

Zhou Shaojin waved his hand again and again, and said, "I think it's better for you to say something to Nanping!" Just because you can't make socks for Uncle Chi doesn't mean that others can't either......"

Ji Ying didn't listen to what she said at all, and said to herself: "Then it's decided." Aren't you going to go to the Hanbi Mountain House every afternoon to copy the scriptures? Then I'll come over every day at nine o'clock in the morning, and your sister should also go to the Hanqiu Pavilion at that time. As she spoke, she clapped her hands, "This matter is settled!" He turned around and walked away.

W-what's this?

Zhou Shaojin chased out.

Hotaru is gone.

She looked at the moon-white Songjiang Sanshuo muslin left behind by Ji Ying, and felt like a hot potato.

When Zhou Chujin came back, she hurriedly told her sister about it. But she was afraid that her sister would be angry with Ji Ying, so she didn't dare to say it in detail, and simply said that Ji Ying would follow her to learn female popularity, so that she could make socks for Uncle Chi.

Zhou Chujin was very surprised and said, "Won't the maid next to Uncle Chi be popular?" ”

"I don't know!" Zhou Shaojin thought of the last time he went to the sewing room, he met Minghe in Uncle Chi's house and asked Mrs. Zhang to help make summer socks, and said, "Maybe I really can't do it." ”

Anyway, it's not a bad thing, maybe you can please Mrs. Guo, Zhou Chujin thought for a while and said, "Then you can sue her." ”

If she doesn't tell herd, won't she come?

Zhou Shaojin nodded.

When she got into bed, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of socks to make for Uncle Chi.

Look at Uncle Chi, he is very particular, he doesn't embroider or edge, I'm afraid it's not that Jiying is troublesome, but Uncle Chi doesn't like it...... It has to be well-fitting and comfortable. But if it has to be done properly and comfortably, you have to measure your feet......

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaojin sat up suddenly.

She can't measure Uncle Chi's feet, can she?

Why did I forget to let Ji Hotaru bring a pair of old socks to make a look?

The thought flashed, and she laughed.

Jiying wants to make socks for Uncle Chi, and he must have Uncle Chi's size. Nanping in Uncle Chi's house, isn't she a master of female popularity? Even if Ji Ying forgets it, Nanping should remember it.

After thinking about this, Zhou Shaojin lay down again.

The next morning, Jihotaru came as promised.

She brought a few cages of shrimp dumplings to Zhou Shaojin: "You taste it, it's made of live shrimp sent from Xinqiao early this morning." Everybody has a share. The last sentence was said to Shi Xiang and others.

Shi Xiang looked at Zhou Shaojin embarrassedly.

Zhou Shaojin saw that the shrimp dumplings were crystal clear, and the red color of the shrimp was faintly visible, which was very attractive, so he simply instructed Shi Xiang: "Set the plate, everyone will taste it." ”

Shi Xiang took the food box and retreated.

A faint smile appeared in Ji Ying's eyes.
