Jiashutang is located on the east side of the four-room room and is the upper room of the four-room. Mrs. Guan was a widow, and after the old lady died of illness, she should have moved to the Jingxing Pavilion in the west, but at that time, the children were still young, and there were no elders in the family, so they didn't pay attention to these. When Cheng Wei got married, Mrs. Guan wanted to vacate the upper room for the eldest son who should support the court, but Cheng Wei was reluctant - Jingxing Pavilion was on the west side of the fourth room, next to the fifth room, and the fifth room was uneasy all day, he was afraid of arguing with his mother, and he was even more afraid that his mother would hear the movement and add to the blockage.

After discussing with Cheng Yuan and the Yue family, he placed the new house in the Hanqiu Pavilion behind Jiashutang.

It was the first time he had an idea. Mrs. Guan couldn't refute her son's words, and she also had the heart to avoid the bad things in the fifth room, so she continued to live.

When Zhou Shaojin walked into Jiashutang, the morning mist had dissipated, the green willows on the side were lightly drooping, the laurel trees were shady, crape myrtle, Yueji, spring, oleander were blooming one after another, and the fragrance of grass and trees was mixed with a faint fragrance of flowers, which made people feel refreshed when they smelled it.

They were greeted by the big girl beside Mrs. Guan.

She wore a red Xia Bubi armor, with a sweet smile on her round face, and bent her knees to greet Zhou Shaojin and them from a distance, saying, "Second Miss, the old lady is waiting for you."

Zhou Shaojin smiled and bowed his head with her and entered the main hall.

Mrs. Guan sat on the low couch with the back of the carved red lacquer and Lingshan stone in the main hall, and took the hand of Zhou Chujin, who was standing in front of the couch, and spoke.

She was fifty-six years old, with gray hair, and looked like she was five or six years older than she really was, and she wore a royal blue moire tufted gown.

Hearing the movement, she turned her head.

There was a kind smile in the gentle eyes, loving and kind.

Zhou Shaojin's tears welled up all of a sudden.

She hurriedly lowered her head, curtsied, and shouted "grandmother", but her voice was unconsciously choked.

Mrs. Guan smiled and said, "I've been locked up for a few days, have you been wronged?" Come, come to my grandmother. ”

Zhou Shaojin took a few steps forward.

The maids hurriedly brought two embroidery piers in and put them in front of the low couch.

Mrs. Guan grabbed a handful of nest candy from the box on the couch table and gave it to her, and said, "This is what your cousin specially asked your classmates to bring back from the capital to honor me, but it's sweet, you can also taste it." ”

The old man likes children, always brings some candy around him, and when he meets a child, he grabs a few and gives it away, and the children in the house, whether it is a young master or a maid, like her old man.

Being treated like this as a child, the tension in Zhou Shaojin's heart disappeared all of a sudden, but there was a feeling of being spoiled, and tears couldn't help but come up again.

"You child, so raw, why are you crying?" Mrs. Guan took a handkerchief and gave her a handkerchief, and said, "If you have something to say, you have to say it well!" Can you get better by crying? Don't cry! ”

The old lady has been separated from life and death a lot, and she doesn't like others to cry the most.

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "I haven't seen my grandmother for a few days, and I want my grandmother's good things to eat!" ”

Seeing that she was smiling, the corners of her eyes were still a little wet, as if the rain was hitting pear blossoms, with a bit of delicate and delicate posture, she couldn't help but feel pity, and said softly: "Then you can't always cry like this!" The girl's family occasionally sheds two tears, it is Jin Doudou, she always cries, that is water, but it is nothing rare. ”

Zhou Shaojin was slightly stunned.

In her memory, it was the first time that her grandmother told her the truth of being a person and doing things.

Her feelings for her grandmother have always been subtle. I want my grandmother to like and value her, but I also feel that I am just my grandmother's nominal granddaughter, no matter how well-behaved and sensible I am, I can't compare to my sister who is related to my grandmother.

And her grandmother treats her differently from her sister.

He has always been lenient with her.

But he's very strict with his sister.

When I was ignorant when I was a child, I didn't feel it, but when I was older, I knew that sometimes being strict was also a kind of love, and even a kind of love that was deeper than lenienness, after knowing the relationship between her and the Cheng family, she began to become uncomfortable, and began to try not to see her grandmother when she couldn't see her, and stay in the house as much as she could......

What's wrong with my grandmother today?

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help laughing and said, "Thank you grandmother for teaching, I remember." ”

The grandmother smiled and nodded, very pleased, and said to the people in the house: "This child really has to grow up." Look at Shao Jin, it's the first time you've spoken to me so neatly. ”

Everyone laughed.

Zhou Shaojin thought about how she used to be in front of her grandmother, and she was thoughtful.

Mrs. Guan pointed to the embroidery pier and asked them to sit down, and the maids came up with refreshments.

Zhou Shaojin and Zhou Chujin sat down, but Mama Wang sat on half of her body.

Mrs. Guan shook her head with a smile, and didn't bother to bother with her, and said to Zhou Shaojin: "I heard your sister say that you are already well." Tomorrow, the wife of Lord Wu, the prefect of Jinling, will bring the children of the family to greet me, and you will meet your sister at that time! ”

Zhou Shaojin was surprised and delighted, and said, "I, me?" ”

"yes!" Zhou Shaojin's appearance pleased Mrs. Guan, and Mrs. Guan teased her, "Is there a second Zhou Shaojin here?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The things that I have been thinking about in my heart have come true in vain, and the joy is indescribable, Zhou Shaojin hurriedly said, "I will definitely help entertain the guests with my sister at that time." Before the voice fell, there was already a little strange in her heart, she was still sick, why would her grandmother suddenly let her see a guest, she couldn't help but look at her sister.

My sister was smiling and winking at her.

Zhou Shaojin understood-it must have been her sister who said something for her in front of her grandmother.

She felt a sense of vertigo that had been knocked down by a great happiness.

"Sister," she said involuntarily, "thank you! ”

Zhou Chujin pursed his lips and smiled.

Old Mrs. Guan looked at it, and a smile bloomed on her face: "That's right!" The two sisters should be affectionate and polite. said to Zhou Chujin again: "Now you are satisfied!" You two sisters will come with me tomorrow to meet you! ”

"Thank you, grandmother!" The two sisters got up in unison and gave Mrs. Guan a blessing.

"Go ahead! Go ahead! Mrs. Guan pretended to frown, made a look of annoyance, and said, "The noise makes my head hurt, let me stop!" ”

Zhou Chujin grinned and pulled Zhou Shaojin back.

"This kid!" Mrs. Guan smiled and said to Mama Wang, "I think about my sister in everything." After speaking, his smile slowly turned into loneliness, and he sighed, "However, this is also the cause of Zhuang's planting, and I don't know whether to rejoice with this child or be heartbroken by this child's hard work." ”

The servants in the house saw that the old lady Guan and Mama Wang were talking considerately, and they all retreated lightly.

Mama Wang persuaded: "A drink and a peck, it is determined by heaven." You don't have to worry too much. I look at the eldest lady as a blessed person, otherwise how could I have met the Zhuang family? If the aunt is not married to the Zhuang family, the eldest lady will not be able to grow up under your knees. ”

"That's right." Old lady Guan has always been broad-hearted, otherwise she would not have lived healthy until now, she immediately became happy when she heard this, and said with a smile, "The thirteenth master of the Liao family was entrusted by the eldest master of their family to make a special trip, and wanted to set the marriage date of Chu Jin and the aunt of the Liao family first, the lord has agreed, and the letter to the aunt is also on the way, presumably the filial piety period over there will be able to get married as soon as the filial piety period is completed." When I find a good family for Shao Jin, my task will be completed. After speaking, I felt a sense of relief.

Mama Wang smiled slightly when she heard this, and said: "Speaking of the second miss, I think that the second miss is not suitable to be a clan wife or the eldest daughter-in-law, and it is best to be the second or youngest son of someone's family." ”

Mrs. Guan agreed, and said, "I think so too-she always likes to hide in her heart when she encounters trouble, and she is sensitive and worried, and she is sad at every turn." It's okay at home, but if you get married, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the cold eyes of your mother-in-law. This time, there is an eldest son, who is usually not taken seriously, and the mother-in-law with a strong personality will learn from the eldest daughter-in-law, and it is not her turn to set rules; The young son is usually the mother's heart, eight or nine times out of ten the temperament is a little pampered, Shao Jin is docile and tolerant, the couple will be able to respect each other like guests, the mother-in-law will not intentionally embarrass her for the sake of the younger son, maybe when the family is separated, there will be a considerate quietly pasted to them. In my opinion, not only to find a second son or a younger son, but it is better to have a simpler family, and she can't cope with too many people. As she spoke, the old lady laughed to herself, and said, "We are here to worry about her, maybe it is in vain." Look at her appearance, I'm afraid that a man will hold her in the palm of his hand, how many mothers can screw their sons? We'll just need to find her a family that values her children. ”

Mama Wang also laughed and said, "I have also lived this age, except for Zhuang's, the second miss is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, so I often say that the eldest lady has a good temperament, if it is someone else, even if it is a sister?" I'm afraid it's the same can't be tolerated! Why does the eldest lady of the fourth room always have to compete with the second lady, I am afraid that it is also due to this appearance. ”

Mrs. Guan couldn't help laughing.

Mama Wang said, "What do you think of the second young master?" ”

"Yi'er?!" Mrs. Guan was stunned.

"yes!" Mama Wang said in her words, "When I went to deliver a message to the second miss, the second miss came out of the study, and I seemed to see the second master hiding in the bamboo forest...... However, my eyes are dizzy, and I may or may not be wrong ......"

Old Lady Guan's face sank.

Zhou Shaojin is twelve, Cheng Yi is fifteen, although they are cousins and sisters, they live in a house, and they are close on weekdays, but it is time to avoid suspicion.

"Don't give me this sloppy eye!" She said bluntly, "I know you saw it." Can you find out what's going on? ”

"In the eyes of the old slave, you might as well go with the flow." Mama Wang said implicitly, "The second lady grew up with our own eyes, not to mention anything else, the most teachable is not to be taught, teach carefully, even if you can't have an idea about everything like the eldest lady, but you can keep to yourself and follow the rules is certain, it's better than the blind marriage and dumb marriage, who don't know the roots." You can also take this opportunity to tell Uncle Hu about family affairs! ”

Mrs. Guan sat up in shock, and she said in a panic: "You mean, He'er?" ”

Mama Wang smiled and said, "I see that since the second miss fell ill, the uncle has to ask the second miss about her condition every day......

Old Lady Guan didn't make a sound, frowned, and stroked the mouth of the blue and white tea bowl carefully.

Mama Wang took a leisurely sip of tea.

She said everything that should be said, as for what kind of ending there is, it depends on how the old lady decides.
