Cheng Jing couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

Cheng Chi didn't wait for him to speak, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you and your sister-in-law are here to pick up your mother, right?" The imperial court is going to be sealed soon, you must be very busy these days. I won't delay you anymore - I only came back yesterday, I wanted to go to you today, but I was afraid that you would be busy, and I was going to meet my eldest brother when I sent my mother to Xinglin Hutong in a few days, but I didn't expect you to come first, eldest brother? Today I'm going to Song Ge Lao...... I'll go with you to see my mother first, right? ”

Cheng Jing did not refuse.

The group went to Tingxiang Temple.

On the way, Cheng Jing asked Cheng Chi: "When did Elder Song Ge invite you?" It's not good to go late. After you meet your mother, you should go over first! We'll talk about it when we have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. ”

Cheng Chi nodded.

Cheng Jing said again: "Do you know what Song Ge Lao is looking for you?" ”

"It should be for Lord Yang's business." Cheng Chi guessed, "The reason for this civil uprising is because the River Governor's Mansion harshly detained the migrant workers and froze to death, and some people suspect that Lord Yang is greedy for ink." ”

Cheng Jing sneered and said, "If it weren't for the greed for ink, how could it have reached the point of a dead man." Zichuan, although we have to be officials, we must also have a conscience as officials. At this time, don't endorse Yang Shoushan in a daze because of his relationship with Song Jingran. ”

"I know!" Cheng Chi laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm also a seventh-grade imperial history now, even if I want to endorse Yang Shoushan, I don't have that qualification!" ”

Cheng Jing also laughed and said, "You have been smart since you were a child, and you can do things by yourself." Don't blame me for being verbose, I'm doing this for your own good. I'm afraid you've just entered officialdom. I didn't see the shape clearly, and I was used as a gun. ”

As the brothers spoke, they arrived at Tingxiangyuan in a blink of an eye.

The service of Tingxiang Yuan has received the news, and Mama Lu greets her at the door.

Cheng Jing shouted "Mama", which was regarded as saying hello to Mama Lu.

Mama Lu was so excited that she trotted to help Cheng Jing lift the curtain.

Cheng Jing entered the house and was led by Pearl to the banquet room.

Mrs. Guo sat on the big kang near the window and was waiting for them.

Cheng Jing and Yuan respectfully bowed.

Cheng Chi hugged Cheng Jing.

Zhou Shaojin hesitated for a moment and went to help Yuan.

The two stood in front of Mrs. Guo one after the other, and Cheng Jing spoke. Said that the Chinese New Year is approaching. Cheng Chi also returned, asked Mrs. Guo to go back to Xinglin Hutong for the New Year, and also invited Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin to come over for a reunion dinner at noon in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Mrs. Guo was ready to go to Xinglin Hutong when Cheng Chi came back, since the eldest son came to invite. It's not hypocritical. I decided to have lunch at Chaoyangmen tomorrow.

Cheng Jing persuaded for a long time. It was only then that Mrs. Guo changed her mind and decided to set off tomorrow with breakfast.

His expression was relaxed, and his words became more casual: "Mother." We've cleaned up the main house in the backyard, and you're good to live there. The second brother was afraid that you would not be used to it, so he got a Pekingese dog back, snow-white and snow-white, just like the one you raised when we were children. ”

Old Madam Guo was a little surprised when she heard this.

When she married into a family, she was still a granddaughter-in-law. When I came to the capital, I lived in the main house in the backyard. Later, although Cheng Xun changed from an uncle to an old man and an old lady, she was too lazy to move and still lived in the main house in the backyard.

Old Madam Guo's face couldn't help but soften, and said with a smile: "You have cleaned up the main house in the backyard, where does Erlang's family live?" ”

Cheng Jing said with a smile: "They are already optimistic about the house, this is the New Year, can't they move at this time, right?" I will squeeze in the east wing for a few days, and after the New Year, I will move to the four alleys here on a good day. ”

This year has just been divided, and there must be something that cannot be taken into account.

Mrs. Guo didn't say anything anymore, and Cheng Chi saw that it was not early, so she got up and said goodbye, leaving Zhou Shaojin to entertain Cheng Jing and his wife.

Cheng Jing took a day off and stayed with Mrs. Guo, talking about their brother's childhood, and also about what Mrs. Guo taught her when he was a teenager. When it was time for lunch, Zhou Shaojin found that Mrs. Guo was already kind and pleasant to Cheng Jing and his wife, and she was very intimate.

Maybe it's because mothers don't really get angry with their sons anyway, right?

Zhou Shaojin smiled and instructed the maids to put lunch in the banquet room, so that Mrs. Guo's mother and son could continue to talk after eating.

Yuan came over to help.

Zhou Shaojin thanked her with a smile, but did not stop her.

Yuan was stunned.

She is more than 20 years older than Zhou Shaojin, and she can be Zhou Shaojin's mother in terms of age, she said that helping, it was just a kind word, but she didn't expect Zhou Shaojin to be polite at all, and really let her help.

Zhou Shaojin didn't see it.

In her previous life, she hated Yuan's two-faced and three-faced, saying one thing and doing another. She didn't want to suffer this loss again in this life. If the Yuan family wants to help, then help, why should she be polite to the Yuan family!

Let her be a good person since she said kind words.

She went to the kitchen under the pretext of leaving Yuan alone in the banquet room.

Waited until she stayed in the kitchen for a while, thinking that Mrs. Guo and Cheng Jing should have already served the table, and then went to the main room.

Yuan was talking to Mrs. Guo and Cheng Jing who were sitting at the table: "...... The three siblings are still young, and it is natural that there are unexpected things. ”

It was as if she had helped Zhou Shaojin a lot.

Zhou Shaojin didn't argue, smiled and put the cold cucumber brought from the kitchen on the table, and said with a smile: "Mother, you try it, the new market, the mother-in-law in the kitchen waited in the warehouse early in the morning to grab it." ”

In the winter, if you can eat crisp and raw cucumbers, who will think carefully about what Yuan said.

Cheng Jing gave a pair of chopsticks to Mrs. Guo, praised Zhou Shaojin and said, "Brother and sister, thank you!" ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled and did not speak.

Cheng Jing instructed Yuan's: "During the Chinese New Year, our family will also buy some, in addition to giving my mother a taste, Ah Zheng and Ah Xiao will also come back in the second year of junior high school, and also add a dish to the two aunts." ”

Yuan responded, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.

I'm afraid this cucumber is more expensive than gold.

Cheng Chi has always made money, but this week Shaojin spent Cheng Chi's money to be generous, and he was willing to buy this kind of thing.

But this kind of thing that flatters both Cheng Jing and Mrs. Guo has nowhere to go.

Responding with a blank "yes", Yuan lowered his head to eat.

Cheng Jing praised Zhou Shaojin's multi-flavored suckling pigeon, Longjing shrimp, and squirrel fish for doing well: "Authentic Hangzhou cuisine." ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "If the uncle likes it." I'll ask them to take a few yellow croakers in a bucket for my sister-in-law to take back. ”

Xinglin Hutong is not bad for these fish.

Yuan Shi hurriedly said: "No need......

Cheng Jing said: "Then thank you......"

The husband and wife spoke in unison, but the words they said were completely different.

Cheng Jing frowned.

Although Xinglin Hutong is not bad for these fish, the four brothers and sisters are kind-hearted, why should they refuse people thousands of miles away!

He glanced at Yuan and pressed Yuan and said, "We're just afraid it's too troublesome." ”

Women know about women.

Yuan probably thinks this is "food that comes from the mouth", right?

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "No trouble, no trouble." Xianggong doesn't eat fish, my mother is gone, and this fish is a waste to us. It's better to let the eldest brother and sister-in-law take it back and count it as a dish. ”

Cheng Jing smiled: "Then thank you!" ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled and ordered someone to load the fish.

Mrs. Guo and Cheng Jing moved to the kang to drink tea, and continued to talk about the family's shortcomings.

Yuan listened from the sidelines, serving tea.

Soon. An afternoon passed. Cheng Chi did not come back.

Mrs. Guo said: "I'm afraid that it will be delayed at Song Gelao's place, we don't have to wait for him, just have dinner first, and let Shaojin leave him some food." It's rare for you to take a day off. I have to go to court early tomorrow morning. Ate early and go back early to rest. ”

Cheng Jing Gongsheng should be.

Zhou Shaojin was thinking about Cheng Chi and was a little absent-minded.

Even if there is something, there are guests at home today. He should also find a way to come back sooner.

Seeing off Cheng Jing and his wife, Zhou Shaojin began to help Mrs. Guo pack her luggage.

"Don't bring that flower goose with you," Mrs. Guo sat in front of the big kang near the window and watched Zhou Shaojin instruct her mother-in-law to pack the cage, "When I come back, spring has already bloomed, and it is best to plant spring flowers at that time." I've brought it back and I'm going to bring it back, so I'll just put it there. ”

Zhou Shaojin responded with a smile of "yes", and a little maid came in and said: "Grandma Nuo came over, saying that she made some Chinese New Year's Eve dishes, and brought them over to invite the old lady to taste, which is considered their filial piety as juniors." ”

Cheng Wen got Cheng Chi's words, and was ready to open a tea shop with great interest, and soon took Cheng Nuo and Wu Baozhang to move to a rented courtyard in Xizhimen. Originally, Wu Baozhang was also going to help Cheng Wen clean up the house and go back with Cheng Nuo, but he never thought that Cheng Wen would see the artificial height of the capital, so he simply left Cheng Nuo and Wu Baozhang to help, one as a buddy, helping to guard the shop, the other presiding over the feed, and bringing four or five maids and wives to manage the affairs of the inner house.

Cheng Chi was in a hurry and didn't go over to take a look.

Cheng Wen kept staring at Cheng Chi.

Seeing that there was movement on Chaoyangmen's side, he hurriedly sent Wu Baozhang over and instructed her: "Be sure to invite the old lady and Zichuan husband and wife to come over when they are in the fourth year of junior high school." I have important matters to discuss with him. ”

Wu Baozhang came over to ask Mrs. Guo for peace.

Old Madam Guo thanked Cheng Wen for his kindness and said, "This matter will have to wait for your Fourth Uncle Chi to come back and discuss with him, if there is no other arrangement that day, we will disturb you." ”

"Where does the old lady speak! If you can go, it's a flourish! Wu Baozhang said a few kind words and got up to leave.

Zhou Shaojin sent her out.

Wu Baozhang couldn't help laughing when she saw the southern pearl shining in her ears in the afterglow of dusk, and couldn't help laughing: "Shaojin, I didn't expect you to marry Fourth Uncle Chi in the end, do you still remember Pan Qing, we thought you would marry Cheng Xu?" ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "I didn't expect you to marry Cheng Nuo, I thought you would marry Cheng Nuo!" ”

Wu Baozhang's face changed slightly.

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "Speaking of which, Cheng Zhen is quite pitiful!" I lost my fame, my home is gone, and now I don't know where I am gone, and when I come back one day, I'm afraid I will have to rely on our relatives for relief! ”

Wu Baozhang thought of Cheng Lu's temperament, at the moment of life and death, even his mother could be left behind, and the few taels of silver he borrowed from her were afraid that it was nothing in his heart.

Her smile became reluctant, and she smiled: "Look at what you said, Cheng Zhen is also a person with a heart, why do you want our relatives to help!" ”

"Don't talk too much about anything." Zhou Shaojin continued to disgust her and said, "Let's see!" ”
