Chapter 433: Dividing the Sect (Addition to Xiao Xixi)
Mrs. Guo's eyes lit up when she listened.
twisted the Buddha beads in his hand one by one, and did not speak for a long time.
In Yuqian Hutong, Zhou Shaojin was about to go to bed after washing, but Mama Shang walked in with a smile with warm water and said, "Second Miss, everyone is tired today, I'll be on duty, right?" β
Zhou Shaojin likes to stay alone, and the maid on duty is just setting up a bunk outside, so she didn't think much about it when she heard the words, and said, "Then you can go and say hello to the auspicious person on duty!" β
Mama Shang smiled, and when Zhou Shaojin got water and went to bed, she helped blow out the other candles in the house. He put the only melon-shaped palace lamp burning in the room on the small table next to the bed, and then took the door and retreated.
Zhou Shaojin tilted his bedside to read, but he was thinking about what he said to Mrs. Guo today.
The old lady is worried that she won't be able to stand the fingers of outsiders, right?
And if she leaves Uncle Chi because she can't stand this, then all Uncle Chi's current efforts will become a joke in the eyes of others.
As a mother, how could the old lady bear her son to be humiliated like this!
But what can she do to make the old lady understand that she is not a whim, nor because she doesn't know the difficulties ahead, she said that as long as Uncle Chi doesn't let go, she won't let go?
Zhou Shaojin was a little nerve-wracking.
She directly wanted to ask Cheng Chi.
But this thought flashed in her mind and was extinguished by her.
This matter cannot be sued to Uncle SΓΉchi.
She is a man and does not understand the heart of a woman
If she were a mother, she would probably do the same thing as the old lady. Maybe with her heart, she might as well be as thoughtful as the old lady?
Thinking about it like this, she became a little anxious, and tried her best to familiarize herself with the housework of the inner house. If she really marries Uncle Chi in the future, Mrs. Guo will definitely follow Cheng Jing and them to live, look at Uncle Chi's situation of buying a house in Chaoyangmen, and because of her, the Cheng family will most likely let them move out and live alone. Although Mrs. Wei Er looks gentle and kind, looking at her demeanor towards others, it can be seen that she is also from everyone's background. A person who can take care of the inner house. Don't be the worst at the time. Even Uncle Chi can't take care of it, and the people of the Cheng family are only more and more unworthy of Uncle Chi......
Zhou Shaojin was stunned.
Uncle Chi didn't say when he would marry her, she fell here and daydreamed for nothing.
She covered her face with the quilt.
A man's soft cough sounded in the room.
Zhou Shaojin lifted the quilt covering his face. Surprised and delighted, he shouted "Uncle Chi".
Cheng Chi smiled and walked in from behind the screen.
He wore an indigo muslin robe and held a large hosta flower in his hand.
A faint aroma permeates the entire inner chamber.
Zhou Shaojin's small face was as smooth as jade, and when he lifted the quilt, he wanted to step forward, but suddenly thought that he was only profane. He was busy wrapping himself in a thin quilt again, and shrunk to the corner of the bed with a flushed face. He muttered "Uncle Chi".
Cheng Chi smiled at her, gentle and generous, and said, "When I entered the door, I saw that the hosta flowers were blooming well, so I broke a few branches. Where is the flower. I'll help you with it. It's best to look for a cyan Ru kiln bottle or an ice crack in Longquan. β
Zhou Shaojin didn't know what to say at all.
She muttered intuitively, "Flower goblet...... It should be in a cage...... That's too much trouble...... "The main thing is that it will alarm the people on duty."
Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened.
No wonder Mama Shang took the initiative to ask Ying to be on duty at night, it turned out that she had already received the news that Uncle Chi was coming......
This scoundrel!
Zhou Shaojin's cheeks were like fire, and he boldly instructed Cheng Chi: "It's good to go to the Duobao Pavilion and get a bottle of appreciation." I'll change it tomorrow. β
The Treasure Pavilion is in the banquet room on the Westinghouse side.
Cheng Chi walked through the hall to the Westinghouse.
Zhou Shaojin looked at his brisk back and smiled.
After a while, Cheng Chi took a red porcelain appreciation bottle. I also filled it with water, and put the flowers in it and put it on the table next to it.
Didn't you say you were going to help her make offerings?
Why don't you put it on the small table at the head of the bed?
Zhou Shaojin blinked.
Cheng Chi said with a smile: "Your body is too weak, and the flowers are too fragrant at the head of the bed, which will make you comfortable." β
Zhou Shaojin muttered embarrassedly and thanked him.
Cheng Chi sat on the edge of the bed unceremoniously, looking at her with a smile.
That gaze is very different from usual.
With a little excitement, a little relief, a little joy and a little emotion...... It was complicated and difficult to understand, which made Zhou Shaojin beat a drum in his heart, not knowing what he was going to do, and stumbled: "You, you came to me so late...... Is there something wrong? As she spoke, she couldn't help but tighten the quilt wrapped around her body.
Cheng Chi smiled, beckoned to her, and said, "Come here!" β
Zhou Shaojin subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she thought of Cheng Chi's gaze at her - there was everything, but there was no dirty look that made her feel scared.
She bit her lip and moved her grip on it.
Cheng Chi stretched out his long arm and hugged her in his arms.
Zhou Shaojin was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.
Cheng Chi laughed in her ear, kissed the top of her head gently, and said, "Shaojin, how can you be so cute?" What should I do with you? β
The helpless cherished tone made Zhou Shaojin's heart tremble, making her feel strange and scared, and said evasively: "What are you going to do!" β
The tone was dry, and a little fierce, just said in her sweet and glutinous voice, like a child losing his temper, and there was no deterrent at all.
Cheng Chi laughed and kissed her forehead gently.
His little girl...... Always give him joy from time to time!
She was a guest in the inner house, but his people kept watching her.
When his mother suddenly asked her to accompany him to the official room, he felt bad.
I rushed over immediately.
But his mother did not act before he arrived.
When he rushed over, her little girl was kneeling there begging his mother to marry, and said, "As long as Uncle Chi doesn't let go, I will never let go."
Cheng Chi held Zhou Shaojin's face and kissed her forehead fiercely.
For such a long time, all his hesitation, hesitation, and hesitation were not all due to her weak and cowardly temperament and docile temper?
He was afraid that she didn't like him enough. The words she liked came out, but she was dissuaded by her sister, the majesty of her father, and the gossip of others and changed her mind.
Then he won't even have a chance to save it.
He will also be scared in his heart.
Not so sure.
Cheng Chi hugged Zhou Shaojin tightly and shouted "obediently" with her earlobe in his mouth.
Now that he knows his thoughts, he naturally wants to marry his beloved woman back.
But one person's struggle and two people's efforts are so different!
It's as if someone is playing the piano next to you while giving a, rather than standing by and watching...... Someone to be a companion, someone to accompany you...... He kissed Zhou Shaojin on the cheek again.
Zhou Shaojin pushed it away. He glared at him with big apricot eyes in anger.
He chuckled. said: "Shaojin, do you have anything to tell me?" β
Zhou Shaojin's heart jumped.
Did he know about Mrs. Guo talking to her?
Then I thought it was impossible.
Even if Mrs. Guo planned to talk to her that day, the timing of her speech was decided temporarily. It is impossible for Uncle Chi to know in advance.
But what did he mean by that?
Zhou Shaojin was a little confused, and said, "I don't have anything to tell you?" Is something wrong? Let's put it bluntly. β
A smile overflowed from his eyes.
His little girl, he was afraid that she would be wronged, but she was for the people he valued. I never felt wronged.
"Shaojin!" Cheng Chi called out to her softly, stroking her hair.
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly avoided Cheng Chi. He moved backwards, leaned on the bed, and said with a face like a morning glow: "What are you doing?" If you have something to say, I'm going to rest! β
Cheng Chi looked at her as if she was facing a great enemy. Laughing again.
Zhou Shaojin kicked him with his foot, meaning to let him speak quickly.
"I just wanted to come and see you!" Cheng Chi smiled, unimpressed by his fearful move.
"Now you've seen it. Why don't you go back and rest! Zhou Shaojin blushed and said, "Be careful that you go back late and encounter a curfew." β
Cheng Chi nodded. said, "I watched you fall asleep and leave." β
Zhou Shaojin has always been stubborn.
She wrapped herself in the quilt and lay down, saying, "No, no, you're here, I can't sleep!" β
Cheng Chi actually responded "well" like this, helped her re-tuck the quilt corners, kissed her forehead, and then got up and walked out of the inner room.
Zhou Shaojin was a little dumbfounded.
Uncle Chi is curious today!
How did it come so easy to leave?
Usually a very domineering person.
Zhou Shaojin gritted his teeth, put on his shoes and leaned on the window to watch.
Cheng Chi walked out of the corner gate.
I really have to leave Yuqian Hutong like this.
Zhou Shaojin was puzzled, but she couldn't understand why Cheng Chi would inexplicably come to see her in the middle of the night.
She asked the Spring Festival Gala to go to Chaoyangmen to inquire.
The Spring Festival Gala hurried back in a panic, and actually took the initiative to send Zhou Shaojin to serve in the house, so anxious that she was about to cry: "Second Miss, the big thing is not good!" I went to Chaoyangmen, and I heard that Jiuru Lane was going to be separated, the second room was left in Jinling, and the long house was moved to the capital. All the property in the public school will be left to the second room, and the long house will have to compensate the second room with a lot of silver. Therefore, in this matter, all the properties of the long house in Jinling were sold, and even Mrs. Yuan's dowry was no exception. Nowadays, many servant women who used to work in the long house are unwilling to stay in Jiuru Lane, and ask the old lady to bring them to the capital. When I went, Sister Biyu happened to receive a letter from her two sisters, asking her to help her intercede in front of the old lady and bring the two families to the capital. Everyone was very panicked, and they didn't know what the old lady and the eldest master would decide! β
It seems that the matter of the division of Jiuru Lane has surfaced!
Zhou Shaojin said to the Spring Festival Gala: "You don't have to worry about this matter. Since he is the servant of the long house, if there is anyone who wants to come to the capital with him, he must bring them over, so if he leaves those people in Jinling City, who will use them for the long house in the future? Even I know this truth, and there is no reason why the old lady and the eldest master don't know. Go again, and tell them this, and appease them. β
The Spring Festival Gala nodded again and again.
Li Shi broke in, and asked Zhou Shaojin with a pale face: "I heard my eldest brother say that there are rumors outside that Jiuru Lane wants to divide the sect, is it true?" β
