The New Year's affair was thus decided.

That night, Cheng Jing had dinner at Chaoyangmen, and after sitting for a long time, he didn't mention the matter of going back, Mrs. Guo thought that the two of them had a quarrel, and she didn't mention the matter of Xinglin Hutong, so she left Cheng Jing for the night.

Cheng Chi did not refuse, and directly rested in Mrs. Guo's blue yarn cupboard, saying that he wanted to "serve" Mrs. Guo.

Old Madam Guo shook her head with a smile and didn't care about Cheng Jing anymore.

Early the next morning, Agarwood and others served Cheng Jing to the court, and Zhou Shaojin sent Biyu to Cheng Wei to discuss the New Year.

On the other side of Shuangyu Hutong, Cheng Chi went to it in person.

After discussing Chang's, Cheng Shao happily agreed.

Qiu Shi not only agreed, but also happily brought Xie Shi over to visit the door, smiled and asked if there was any place where they could help, and said: "Now we don't have to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but there are a lot less things." ”

Zhou Shaojin took Xie's hand and said with a smile: "No, no, you just need to bring your stomach to eat." ”

Qiu knew that there were a lot of women and servants in Chaoyangmen, so he was not polite to Zhou Shaojin, and brought Xie over every now and then to talk to Mrs. Guo.

In the afternoon, Chang came over with Ah Bao and Ah Ren.

The two children threw themselves into Qiu's arms when they entered the door, saluted Qiu and the others, and ran to play with Brother Yun.

Chang Shi looked at the two children with a smile in his eyes, and said to Mrs. Guo embarrassedly: "These two children are too active. ”

Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "Children are not easy to move, and when you become an adult, you will regret it." Then he sighed. This is the nature of children! You see, when they first came, they brought a plate of snacks and put them in their hands, and they swallowed their saliva and didn't reach for the snacks...... You teach it well! It's like a child in our family. ”

Chang and Qiu were busy saying "don't dare".

Mrs. Guo smiled: "What don't you dare!" There is a reward for doing good deeds. Do this to them, and you will be blessed with them. ”

Everyone talked and laughed, drank tea, ate snacks and played cards, and played happily until the time of the palm lamp.

Yuan didn't know about it until Cheng Jing went home.

She was so angry that her liver hurt for a while, and she didn't speak for a long time.

What kind of clan wife is a clan woman who does not worship ancestors and does not prepare Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?

Yuan thought of Zhou Shaojin's soft and weak wicker figure...... She immediately changed her mind.

It's okay, let her preside over this year's sacrifice, and let her taste her own hard work.

"Mother didn't blame me, did she? Did the second sibling say anything? She simply snuggled on the big pillow and said to Cheng Jing weakly, "When I think of Jiashan." I just can't lift my spirits. ”

She was not sick. Pretending to be sick may not be fake, but it is better to say that it is a "heart disease".

Cheng Jing sighed, his expression was slightly gloomy, and said, "My mother is not such a stingy person. This year, I have to trouble Shiro's daughter-in-law to help prepare the sacrifice. When you see your fourth siblings, you still have to thank your fourth siblings. ”

"It's nature!" Yuan sneered in his heart. Rest in bed and continue to feel uncomfortable.

Zhou Shaojin had Mrs. Guo to help her get ideas. With the help of Fan Liu and Mama Shang, they regarded all the things of the New Year as a fun thing, and every day Cheng Chi would tell him what he had done.

Cheng Chi was busy during this time. Originally, he was still a little unhappy with Yuan's hand, but when he saw Zhou Shaojin talking about the New Year with great interest, he felt that this was not bad - his little girl would grow up one day, and she should know the etiquette of these sacrifices, let her practice her hands now, and she will not be a stranger in the future.

He listened carefully to Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin felt that the New Year was even more interesting.

Elm Hutong came to report the good news, saying that Zhou Chujin gave birth to a second son, and Mrs. Liao was very happy and named her "Brother Yan". Master Liao, who was far away in Zhenjiang, was also very happy when he heard about it, and wrote a letter saying that he would go to the capital to preside over his grandson's 100-day ceremony. Mrs. Liao was angry when she heard this, and wrote back to him to "stay at home, don't come to the capital to embarrass your son, my son is now an official from the seventh grade, and his career is prosperous...... How dare that little guy really scold, he trembled for a long time and didn't say clearly what Master Liao had done......

When Brother Yan was doing the full moon, Zhou Chujin quietly told Zhou Shaojin about these things that happened at home, and said distressedly: "...... In case my father-in-law comes to the capital, they quarrel, but it will be troublesome! ”

As a daughter-in-law, she is not right to help anyone.

It is even more wrong to ignore it.

Zhou Shaojin didn't think this was a matter at all.

She gently patted Brother Yan in her arms, looked at Brother Yan's facial features, and said: "As a daughter-in-law, one hand is the mother's family and the other is the mother-in-law's family, and the son is not the same-if Master Liao and Mrs. Liao quarrel so much, presumably the brother-in-law will have no face, if you don't come forward to say anything, the brother-in-law will also come forward to mediate, right?" ”

Zhou Chujin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but smile and looked Zhou Shaojin up and down, and said, "You have really grown up and can help your sister come up with ideas." ”

If there is any regret about Zhou Shaojin and his two lives, it is that he failed to help his sister. Hearing her sister say this, she was sweeter than eating honey, so she couldn't help but snuggle up to her sister's side, and asked her "Is it true?"

Zhou Chujin laughed and joked to her: "I thought you had grown up just now, but if you look closely, you are still a little girl." ”

provoked Zhou Shaojin to be coquettish for a while.

After eating bala porridge, sacrificing to the god of the stove, sweeping the dust, changing the peach charm, pasting the Spring Festival couplets, the Spring Festival is coming.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the Chinese New Year's Eve was placed in Chaoyangmen, and after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone went to Xinglin Hutong to worship their ancestors, and early in the morning of the first day of the new year, they entered the palace to congratulate according to the big makeup, and returned home Zhou Shaojin and other female relatives slept well, but Cheng Chi and Cheng Jing still had to go to Shangfeng or colleagues' homes to pay New Year's greetings.

Fortunately, everyone's situation is the same, no one has the energy to entertain guests one by one, and the so-called New Year's greetings are just to write a greeting sticker and throw it to the concierge of each family.

Chaoyangmen has received twice as many stickers this year as last year.

Zhou Shaojin didn't even ask about outside affairs. I can also feel that Cheng Chi has gradually gained momentum now.

In the second year of junior high school, Zhou Shaojin didn't have to go to her parents' house, so she entertained Cheng Xiao and others at home.

In the third year of junior high school, Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Chi went to Zhou Chujin in Yushu Hutong as guests, in the fourth year of junior high school, Pengcheng Bocheng invited their family to drink spring wine, and on the fifth day of junior high school, Cheng Chi invited Gu Jiuzhen and Yuan Beiyun...... In this way, you came and went, and I was busy until the Lantern Festival took a breath, and Zhou Shaojin took a breath.

At this time, I received a letter from the old man of Sifangguan, saying that he was going to let Cheng He come to Beijing to study after the beginning of spring, in order to get out of the department and try to make achievements.

The conditions in the previous life were so difficult, Cheng He was admitted to the Jinshi, not to mention that in this life, he can get the guidance of Cheng Shao and Cheng Chi.

Zhou Shaojin is naturally very welcome. Not only wrote a letter to ask for a specific itinerary. Counting the days, Qin Ziji sent someone to Tongzhou Wharf to pick up people.

Ji Ying saw that the weather was gradually getting warmer, and Brother Yun'er's clothes were decreasing one by one, so he took Brother Yun around in the garden every day.

Snowball follows Brother Yun every day like a little tail, and sometimes Zhou Shaojin calls it. It shouted at Zhou Shaojin a few times. Come here and take a spin. quickly followed Yun Ge'er's feet and rubbed his legs, as if he was Yun Ge'er's dog.

Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "This puppy is like a child." Whoever feeds it, and whoever treats it well, it follows. ”

Zhou Shaojin laughed.

Thinking that Cheng He would live in her own house when she came over, she was busy refurbishing the guest room.

Hosta flowers and spring flowers and grass grass were planted, the east side of the house of three broad made the inner room, the west side made the study, the bright room is the hall, the east side of the ear room is the washroom, the west side of the ear room lived in a small house, the retreat lived the steward entourage, and there was a door to the back of the house.

Zhou Shaojin was still not at ease, and personally instructed the maid to paste the window and hang the curtain.

Liu Fan came in with a smile and brought hot tea, and said, "Madame, let's take a break!" I'm looking at it here! Guarantee that it will be done properly, and Uncle Huan will live comfortably when he comes, just like at home. ”

Zhou Shaojin laughed as he listened.

Cheng He's first child after getting married was really a girl, called "Yuanyuan", and Gu Seventeen Aunt also gave birth to a daughter, and called Fang Fang with Yuanyuan...... If there is a girl again, is it not called "prism"?

The thought flashed, his chest was stuffy, he wanted to vomit when he opened his mouth, his head was also dizzy, and his eyes were black.

Seeing that her face was wrong, Liu Fan staggered, took three steps and two steps forward to help Zhou Shaojin, and said continuously: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhou Shaojin sat down with Fan Liu's hand and said, "I'm fine", but the depression in his heart became heavier and heavier, and he was pressed heavily in his heart, making people breathless.

Fan Liu was sweating profusely and hurriedly said, "Madam, I'll call someone to ask for a doctor for you." ”

Zhou Shaojin covered his heart and came back to his senses for a while.

The Spring Festival Gala has set a wedding date and is rushing for the dowry. Hearing the news, he trotted all the way, and Fan Liu had already helped Zhou Shaojin to lie down on the drunkard chair indoors and rest for a while.

"Maybe I'm too tired these days." In addition to this, Zhou Shaojin couldn't think of why she was uncomfortable, she sat up, the feeling of shortness of chest and tightness disappeared again, and she smiled, "Okay, okay, don't be nervous." And he advised, "Don't say anything in front of the old lady?" "Let her old man worry for no reason.

Everyone agreed.

Imperial Doctor Cao came over.

Zhou Shaojin was very surprised and asked Fan Liu: "Why did the doctor come so quickly?" ”

Following Imperial Doctor Cao, the little guy smiled and said: "Our master happened to be at home, and he was about to go out for a walk, and the steward of your mansion came, and the master asked me to come directly with the medicine box." ”

Zhou Shaojin gave people a reward, thinking that Imperial Doctor Cao was rarely invited on weekdays, and since he came, it would be good to have a safe pulse. asked the people in the house to avoid it, put a handkerchief on his hand and hid behind the curtain to be checked by Cao Yuyi.

Imperial Doctor Cao smiled when he put his hand on it, and when he checked his left hand, he said firmly: "Congratulations to Madame, it's Ximai." ”

Zhou Shaojin was stunned.

From Layue to the present, nine of the ten days in Chengchi are early and late and do not take care of each other, who knows that there will be joy.

"Quick, quickly invite Imperial Doctor Cao to the flower hall to serve tea." Zhou Shaojin said excitedly.

Fan Liu even pulled out his legs and ran out, saying, "I'll go and report the good news to the old lady." ”
