Chapter 134: Asking for Help (Adding to Zixiao 12)
It's fake to let Lan Ting send Dongzhu to their sisters, and it's true to borrow her sister's hand to place Lan Ting!
Zhou Shaojin poured the full box of Dongzhu on the brocade forging quilt of the big red Danfeng Chaoyang.
The lotus seed rice-sized eastern pearl is shiny and round, and the brocade forging morning glow reflects each other, making people unable to take their eyes off.
Zhou Chujin sat down on the edge of the bed, gathered the beads, and said with a smile: "How old a person is, he still likes to play with these." If you don't put it away quickly, be careful to drop one, so that Shi Xiang has to look for it everywhere. ”
Zhou Shaojin grinned and put the beads into the box.
Zhou Chujin asked her, "You really don't want to go with me to see Lan Ting?" ”
"I'm not going!" Zhou Shaojin fiddled with the beads in the box and said with a smile, "If you have anything to say, my sister just tell her." ”
In his previous life, Lan Ting was sold by the Li family to a passing merchant.
Before she was sold, she may have felt something, and wrote to her sister for help.
But her sister ignored her.
At that time, Zhou Shaojin was too busy to take care of herself, and she didn't know about it at all, and by the time she knew, Zhou Zhen was already a stranger to the Li family.
She asked her sister what was going on.
My sister told her: "Mother left her to take care of you, although we were later taken into the house by my grandmother, but after my father's filial piety expired, she followed my father to take office. But as long as she still misses her mother's kindness, when her father is filial, she should follow us into the house. ”
She didn't know how her sister knew about it.
But she believed her sister.
Since she was not blindfolded by Lan Ting in her previous life, she believed that her sister could see Lan Ting's personality clearly in this life.
Zhou Shaojin has more important things to do.
In her previous life, she married Lin Shisheng when she was sixteen years old. At that time, the Mu family had been in an accident for more than a year. Counting the days, at most three years, Aunt Mu's mother's family will be confiscated. And three years have passed in the blink of an eye, leaving not much time for Zhou Shaojin. But she never had a good way to let Aunt Mu escape this catastrophe.
So when she heard Ji Ying say that her hometown was in Cangzhou, she had a faint idea in her heart, but before she could find a chance to talk to Ji Ying about it, Ji Ying was grounded by Uncle Chi.
It was only after copying 500 "Female Commandments" that the ban was lifted...... When will that be?
And Uncle Chi's side, she took so much effort to see him, but he either disappeared, or sent her away in a few words, she thought that the more she knew, the more she would be able to get close to Uncle Chi, but when she really understood the scales and half claws, her heart became more and more confused.
How could she speak in front of Uncle Chi?
Zhou Shaojin locked himself in the study......
Shi Xiang couldn't help but be a little worried, and said to Fan Liu: "Second Miss, what's wrong?" Since she fell in March, she has either done needlework in the house or gone to the Hanbi Mountain House to copy scriptures, and it is the first time that she has stayed in the study for several hours like this. Look, do you want to send someone to talk to the eldest lady? ”
"Don't talk about it just yet." Fan Liu was also a little worried, and said, "You also said that the second miss hasn't been like this for a long time." Maybe the second lady just wanted to be alone in the study on a whim and think about it? ”
Shi Xiang and Fan Liu both prefer the current Zhou Shaojin.
It's not that Zhou Shaojin was bad in the past, but Zhou Shaojin didn't talk much in the past, and he liked to think about things in his heart, unlike the current Zhou Shaojin, who not only talked and laughed with them, but also talked about some parents' shortcomings, which made people feel more cordial.
Shi Xiang sent a little maid to guard the door and said, "As soon as the second young lady comes out, you will call me immediately." ”
The little maid sat on the steps of the study.
Zhou Shaojin didn't come out of the study until lunch, and after lunch, she closed the door of the study and stayed alone for a long time, so that she arrived at the Hanbi Mountain House two quarters of an hour later than usual.
It was quiet in the Hanbi Mountain House, and the maids on duty all stood with their hands bowed, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time in the banquet room.
Biyu whispered to her: "It's the son of the Min family in Fujian, a friend the uncle made when he went to Hangzhou Mansion, came to visit the uncle, and specially came to greet the old lady." ”
It should be that Min Xingqiang.
Zhou Shaojin turned a corner and went directly to the Buddhist hall.
In the evening, Cheng Xu set up a banquet to entertain Min Xingqiang, and Cheng Xu, the ancestor of the second room, attended the banquet for the first time.
Zhou Chu Jinqi said: "Is the Min family in Fujian very powerful? Why would the old ancestor be so courteous to that Min Gongzi? ”
Min Xingqiang is just a lifter.
But if Cheng Xu intends to pave the way for Cheng Zhi, everything can be explained.
Zhou Shaojin smiled.
The next day, I went to Koyama Cong Guiyuan.
It is the breeze that is on duty.
Qingfeng's face was still not very good-looking, but he didn't hang her there like last time, and said in a deep voice, "You wait", and turned around to go to Tongyu.
Soon, he turned back, and with him, there was Nanping.
"Miss Second Cousin," her face was full of apology, "I'm really sorry! Ji Hotaru's "Female Commandment" hasn't been copied yet, so I can only ask you to take a trip. ”
According to the courtesy, Ji Hotaru should come to see her.
Zhou Shaojin smiled: "I came to see her on purpose, and I happened to have a cup of tea in her house." ”
Nanping accompanied her to Jiying's residence.
Ji Ying happily welcomed Zhou Shaojin into the door, personally served refreshments to her, and pointed to the shortbread in the red lacquer begonia flower box and said, "You taste it, Mi Ji." ”
Zhou Shaojin was stunned for a moment and laughed.
Hotaru's eyes widened.
Zhou Shaojin rarely laughs like this.
"I had ......tea with Jasper and them yesterday at the Hanbi Mountain House," she told Ji Hotaru, "We also talked about Mi Ji's shortbread and avocals, but I didn't expect to eat them today." You guys are really good at eating. ”
Ji Hotaru also laughed and said proudly, "Of course." People live in the world, they always have a hobby, my hobby is eating! ”
Zhou Shaojin nodded with a smile and said, "Aren't you grounded?" Who gave you the snacks to buy? ”
"I'm just grounded, not banned." Ji Ying smiled disappretently, "Qin Ziping went to buy it." ”
This is the third time that Zhou Shaojin has heard Qin Ziping's name, and every time it is related to eating. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Does Qin Ziping also like to eat?" ”
"It's alright!" Ji Ying smiled, "He's mainly for convenience - Cheng Zichuan is training him these days, and he runs outside almost every day." ”
Zhou Shaojin tasted a shortbread.
It's really crispy and delicious.
She asked Ji Ying, "How did you copy the "Female Commandments"?" ”
Ji Ying's shoulders immediately collapsed when she heard this, and said, "It's not good......" Before she said the voice, her eyes immediately lit up, and she came to Zhou Shaojin's front and said, "Or, can you help me copy it a few times?" ”
Zhou Shaojin pushed her away and said, "Don't think about it!" I have to go to Hanbi Mountain House every day to copy scriptures, how can I have time to help you. Your own business, you do it yourself. He added, "What's more, our handwriting is different, aren't you afraid that Uncle Chi will punish you for copying five hundred times again?" ”
Ji Ying jumped up for joy when she heard this, reached out and touched Zhou Shaojin's head, and said, "You are so smart!" How I didn't think of it. Cheng Zichuan just asked me to copy "The Female Commandment" 500 times, but he didn't say that I should copy it myself. I'll ask Qin Ziping to help me and ask him to hire someone to copy it for me five hundred times!" ”
"Will this work too?" Zhou Shaojin opened his mouth and stammered.
"If it doesn't work, you have to try." Ji Ying looked like she didn't worry about a lot of debts, and said with a big grin, "It's a big deal that he will punish me for copying five hundred more times." ”
Zhou Shaojin sweated.
Ji Hotaru said: "Why do you have time to come and play with me today?" Are you done with your needlework? ”
"There's no time to finish needlework." Zhou Shaojin thought for a while and said, "Actually, I came today to ask you for something...... "Uncle Chi allows you to contact the family?" ”
"I don't know." Ji Ying said, "Since I came here, I haven't been in contact with my family again. I'm afraid I'll sneak back to ......"
Then you can't let Ji Hotaru help.
Zhou Shaojin said: "Then, can you ask Qin Ziping to help me...... However, this matter has to be kept secret. ”
Ji Hotaru listened and thought for a moment, and said, "Are you going to send something somewhere?" Or who to send where? ”
Zhou Shaojin didn't expect that he would be seen through by Ji Ying just by saying a few words.
She smiled wryly and said, "I want to send someone to the capital, and then bring him back safely." ”
"Don't want to be known by your family?"
Zhou Shaojin bowed his head and said, "This matter is very important to me, and it is best to be unaware." ”
Ji Ying smiled: "Qin Ziping is your Uncle Chi's person, let him help you with things, how can your Uncle Chi not know?" ”
In this case, it is not possible!
Zhou Shaojin couldn't hide his disappointment.
Ji Hotaru smiled: "Why did you give up so quickly?" Without Qin Ziping, wouldn't there still be me? ”
Zhou Shaojin waved his hand: "Forget it, I'll think of other ways." ”
"What can you come up with?" Ji Hotaru squinted at her, "I don't know your temperament yet, if you weren't cornered, how could you open your mouth to me?" You can rest assured, although I haven't been in touch with my family for a long time, but my father is still very worried about me, tell me that if I have something, let people bring the envelope to the Maoji rice shop next to the Dongjiang Bridge in Jinling, if you have anything, I will let them do it. ”
Doesn't sound right!
Zhou Shaojin said: "Will that implicate you or Uncle Chi?" ”
Ji Ying pinched Zhou Shaojin's face and said, "The story I told you is in vain - what do you care about what others do, it matters what you do for yourself." ”
"You can't say that......" Zhou Shaojin wanted to avoid Ji Ying but couldn't avoid it, she was still pinched by Ji Ying's face, she muttered, "You can't just take care of yourself......
Ji Hotaru glared at her fiercely.
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly stopped the topic.
Ji Hotaru let out a satisfied "um" and said, "Say it quickly, what are you going to do?" ”
Zhou Shaojin intuitively believed in Ji Ying. She said: "I have a friend who lives in Hudaguanren Hutong in Beijing, and I want my little girl to send her a letter." You can ask someone to send my little servant to the capital, and then send him back after he finishes his errands for me. ”
"Do you want to hide it from your family?"
Zhou Shaojin smiled embarrassedly.
"Okay!" Ji Hotaru said boldly, "You just wait for my news." ”
Zhou Shaojin was not very grateful: "Thank you, thank you!" ”
"What is there to be thankful for." Ji Hotaru sighed and said, "If it was left behind, I would have personally gone to help you do this." ”
Personally?
Then you don't need to.
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly said: "It's good to be like this now." ”
