Zhou Shaojin thinks it's funny when she thinks about it.

Fan Liu, who accompanied her to do needlework, muttered: "I've eaten Laba porridge, won't the fourth master go back for the New Year?" ”

Zhou Shaojin was shocked to realize that the New Year was coming up in more than 20 days, but Cheng Chi was still hanging around here!

She went to find Cheng Chi when her father went to the hall and Cheng Chi was practicing calligraphy in the guest room alone.

Who knew that she hadn't spoken yet, Cheng Chi had already smiled and said, "You came just in time." The Fan family posted a post between your father and me a few days ago, and it just so happened that your father would take a break tomorrow, and you would follow us to Fan's house tomorrow as a guest! ”

Just in time to meet Zhu Zhu.

Zhou Shaojin was naturally out of sight, and she asked Cheng Chi on Twitter: "Is Mrs. going?" I heard that Zhu Zhu is married to the second son, who are the people in the Fan family? What should I prepare? ”

Cheng Chi said with a smile: "Your mother will also go with her tomorrow, she is ready for gifts and everything, so you don't have to worry about it." If you still have something you want to give to Zhu Zhu, you can just give it to her alone when the time comes. Your mother's side sent you a gift list. Then he talked about the third aunt and sixth uncle of the Fan family.

Hearing that although the Fan family only has three rooms, there are twenty-four brothers in Zhu Zhu's generation, Zhou Shaojin was stunned and said: "If it were me, I was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to recognize people." ”

Cheng Chi smiled: "You can't make a comparison. ”

She seemed to be very bad.

Zhou Shaojin pouted and left.

Cheng Chi couldn't stop laughing.

On the day of Zhou Zhen's rest, Zhou Shaojin dressed up and went to the upper room.

Both Zhou Zhen and the Li family were stunned, and said, "Shaojin is really beautiful today." ”

Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips and smiled, and went to the sedan hall together.

Cheng Chi was already waiting there.

He was wearing a green bamboo-bottomed plain muslin cloth inside, but he was casually draped with a dark mink fur cloak outside, his black hair was casually curled with a bamboo hairpin, his face was handsome, his expression was kind, his jade body was erect, as if he was standing tall, and the low-key luxury and arrogance of the son of the family were all coming.

is worthy of the people of the Cheng family in the lane!

Zhou Zhen sighed softly in his heart.

Li asked Zhou Shaojin quietly: "Master Chi Si wore a cloth coat to Fan's house, it doesn't matter, right?" ”

Zhou Shaojin looked at Cheng Chi and whispered to his stepmother: "You wait and see, unless the Fan family doesn't study, only a study, and they will definitely respect Uncle Chi." ”

Li went to Fan's house suspiciously.

Fan's house is located in the east of Baoding Mansion, covering a huge area, and the foundation is not inferior to Jiuru Lane, but the house is a piece of east and west, which is different from the winding path of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and can not be built neatly and squarely in the north, as if the house is built where it is, there is no charter.

Li told Zhou Shaojin: "This Fan family has many heirs, so I have to keep building houses. ”

No wonder!

Zhou Shaojin thought of the splendor of the Liangguo Mansion.

I don't know if Zhu Zhu is used to living here?

The head of the Fan family personally greeted Zhou Zhen at the side door.

Zhou Shaojin and the others were led directly to the door of the weeping flowers by the servants.

She quietly lifted the sedan curtain and glanced at it from a distance, only to know that the leader of the Fan family was a short and stout man.

After entering the second gate, it was the eldest lady of the Fan family who greeted them.

As soon as Zhou Shaojin got off the sedan chair, he saw Zhu Zhu standing behind the crowd.

She wore a very ordinary bean-green vase pattern of Hangzhou silk gown, a white threaded skirt, combed the woman's round bun, and only wore two gilt hairpins inlaid with Nanzhu, except that the Nanzhu on the hairpin was the size of lotus seed rice, she was the same as the women around her, dressed without any characteristics, but her face was bright and beautiful, radiant, more beautiful than when she was in the Liangguo Mansion, although standing at the back, she could make people see her at a glance.

Touching Zhou Shaojin's gaze, she winked at Zhou Shaojin, very playful.

It can be seen that she is doing well in the Fan family.

I don't know if it's because she married a wishful husband, or because the Fan family treats her very well?

Zhou Shaojin pondered in his heart, and stepped forward to greet Mrs. Fan.

Mrs. Fan has deep nasolabial folds, which makes her look stricter. But at this time, she smiled, warmly beckoned Li and Zhou Shaojin to sit down in the flower hall, and greeted them friendly: "...... I heard that the second lady came from Jinling Mansion, and I thought to myself, this is a coincidence, our second young grandmother is from Jinling Mansion. pulled the second young grandmother and asked, and the second young grandmother actually said that she knew the second young lady. As she spoke, her eyes fell on Zhu Zhu.

Zhu Zhu smiled and stepped forward to bless Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly got up and returned the salute, shouted "sister", and said, "I heard that I came to Fan Mansion, and I didn't fall asleep for half the night last night. Sister, is this okay? ”

The two simply agreed to two sentences, but everyone could hear that the relationship between Zhu Zhu and Zhou Shaojin was very good.

Mrs. Fan smiled and said, "In that case, Ah Zhu, you should do your best to accompany the second lady today." ”

Zhu Zhu smiled and said "yes".

Zhou Shaojin felt uncomfortable in her heart.

When he was in the Liangguo Mansion, Ah Zhu was very arbitrary, but when he arrived at Fan's house, he became restrained.

She found an opportunity to talk to Ah Zhu in the bamboo forest of the Fan family.

"Then the second son of the Fan family is waiting for you?"

"Hmm!" Zhu Zhu nodded a little shyly and said, "He is a humble gentleman, and he is close to me in everything." It's just that the rules of the Fan family are very strict, I was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, he quietly bought duck fat shortbread from outside for me to eat, I was afraid that it would not taste good when I went home, so I carried it in my arms, and my chest was red, but I didn't know that I didn't like to eat baked cakes, and the duck fat shortbread was not made of duck fat at all, it was particularly unpalatable...... Speaking of this, she seemed to think of the scene of the day again, and laughed out loud, and said, "I was cold a few days ago, and he took care of me without any other clothes...... He's a very nice guy. ”

Zhou Shaojin laughed along.

obviously doesn't like people who eat shortbread, but they know that the shortbread bought back by the second son of the Fan family is not made of duck fat, and it is particularly unpalatable...... She no longer doubted whether Zhu Zhu was doing well in the Fan family, and talked to Zhu Zhu about herself.

The two talked happily all morning, and after lunch at Fan's house at noon, they listened to the female gentleman's story, and did not go home until the time of the lamp.

But as soon as they stepped into the yamen of the Baoding prefect, they met Huangfutang sending off guests.

The two hurriedly stepped forward to salute Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen smiled and nodded with the guests of Huangfutang and Huangfutang.

Huang Futang introduced that to Zhou Zhen and said: "I don't know if the prefect still remembers, this is Chang Xiucai from the apricot garden in the east of the city." ”

Zhou Zhen smiled: "I remember, I saw it last time in Lord Miao's mansion." ”

But a discerning person can know at a glance that he is a kind word.

Chang Xiucai stepped forward to greet Zhou Zhen and Cheng Chi.

The two bowed slightly.

Who knows that Huang Futang pointed to the sedan chair on the side and said with a smile: "It's rare that you are lucky today, and you can still meet your wife, so you should go over and say hello." ”

Chang Xiucai was as good as a stream, and saluted the Li family through the sedan chair.

Li Shi hurriedly said "no courtesy", left Zhou Zhen and Cheng Chi, and got up in a sedan car with Zhou Shaojin and returned to the inner courtyard.

When Zhou Zhen came back, Li couldn't help but complain: "Then what's the matter with Huangfutang, actually letting a foreign man salute me?" ”

Zhou Zhen didn't take this matter to heart, while recalling the surprise in Master Fan's eyes after looking at Cheng Chi's dress, he inexplicably admired Cheng Chi, and said absentmindedly: "So you have to have a lot of heart to deal with these people, they make people laugh, and all kinds of means make you laugh." That Chang Xiucai, I've heard of it, he was a Xiucai at a young age, his family has a lot of money, he is very good at camping, and he is a guest at the house of Lord Sanmiao and Lord Qian, and this time he can say that Huangfutang is blocking us at the door, presumably to leave an impression on me, even if he has nothing to ask for, he also wants to have a relationship with me. You don't have to worry, I'll just do it. When the water is clear, there are no fish. Even if he is a pavilion elder, it is impossible for these three sects and nine streams not to deal with each other. ”

Li has always believed Zhou Zhen, and since Zhou Zhen said that it was okay, she also put this matter behind her.

I never thought that Mrs. Huang would come to compensate the Li family the next day: "...... I have already said fiercely that our master is the master, and when he meets him, he stepped forward to greet him, why did Chang Xiu come forward to salute his wife. What if this alarms the second lady? After speaking, she whispered to Li with a mysterious face, "But, madam, that Chang Xiucai is well-known in our Baoding Mansion, what do you think?" ”

Li was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red, and he was about to smack Mrs. Huang.

Mrs. Huang knew that she had misunderstood, and said hurriedly: "Isn't Chang Xiucai still married?" I look at the age and the second lady in the house......"

Li sighed, embarrassed by the misunderstanding he had just made, and said, "It was too dark last night, and I didn't pay much attention to it. However, it looks quite tall......

Mrs. Huang laughed when she heard this, and said, "What's more, she is tall and handsome." If you don't see it clearly, Mrs. Miao will invite everyone to come over to listen to the play in two days, then Chang Xiu will definitely be there, and I will lead you to take a look quietly. Just to tell the second lady in the house about family affairs......"

Li Shi was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "This can't be done, this can't be done." The second lady of our family grew up in Jiuru Lane since she was a child, whether it is Mrs. Guo in the long room or Guan Lao'an in the fourth room, the second miss of our family is like a treasure, her relatives don't say it's me, even our master, can't be easy to decide, you have to discuss with the two old people. ”

Mrs. Huang's eyes lit up when she listened, and she pouted Li to give Zhou Zhen a shout.

Lee's head shook like a rattle, and she didn't agree to it no matter what she said.

Mrs. Huang had no choice but to go back to Chang Xiucai.

Chang Xiucai was so happy that he didn't know what to do, so he rushed to the back office of the prefect's yamen with a heavy gift, and muttered to Mrs. Huang for a long time before saying goodbye.

Mrs. Huang went to invite the Li family to the Great Compassion Pavilion to offer incense, and said: "It's almost the New Year, and I will also go to ask the people in the family to be safe and reassured." ”

Li Shiqi said: "Isn't it the first day of the Lunar New Year?" ”

Mrs. Huang's face turned red and said, "It's not strange that there are many people, and the same must be true for the Bodhisattva." ”

Li did not dare to go.

There has been a lot of wind and snow in the past few days, and Zhou Shaojin has just come from Jinling, and she is afraid that Zhou Shaojin will suffer from the wind and cold.

Mrs. Huang vigorously invited the Li family to go with her, and said, "Mrs. Tan, they will also go together." ”
