Zhou Shaojin felt that he should treat Mrs. Guo better.

Cheng Chi and Cheng Xu have arrived to listen to Yuxuan.

Like the family banquet of the reunion dinner, Tingyuxuan is divided in two by twelve agarwood screens, with women sitting inside and men sitting outside.

They went neither early nor late.

The juniors next to the word "Yan" have all arrived, and Cheng Zhi is still taking his five-year-old eldest son Geng'er, and Cheng Shi's uncles who are not married are playing with Geng'er there. The word "water" is Cheng Yi in the second room, Cheng Lu in the third room, Cheng Wei in the fourth room and Cheng Wen in the fifth room.

The corners of Cheng Chi's mouth twitched almost invisibly.

This old ancestor is the same every time he appears, and he has to wait for everyone to arrive before he is late. I don't know if it's because he has the right time? Or did he send someone to report the news, so that he could step on a little bit to show his special status in this family?

Cheng Chi stepped forward to greet several brothers.

Cheng Yi and Cheng Lu bowed slightly, they all sat and didn't move, although Cheng Chu didn't move, he smiled and said hello to Cheng Chi, "Brother Chi is here", only Cheng Wen came over in a hurry and complained: "Why did you come at this time, you are alone!" Come and sit on my side, my chair is still empty! Then he greeted Cheng Xu again, "Jiashan, you have lost a lot of weight compared to when you left, are you studying too hard?" You have to pay attention to the body. ”

Cheng Yi and Cheng Lu's eyes flashed with a trace of disdain, but Cheng Wei smiled widely.

Cheng Xu stepped forward to salute several uncles, and Cheng Zhi brought his younger brothers over to salute Cheng Chi.

Cheng Chi's gaze fell on Cheng Yi, who was following behind several brothers with a disgraced face.

He walked with a slight limp.

It seems that the injury has not healed yet.

Cheng Chi looked away from him with satisfaction.

Cheng Yi, who felt Cheng Chi's gaze, shrank his shoulders and looked even more inconspicuous.

Cheng Zhi hugged Brother Geng'er in front of Cheng Chi, and said to the eldest son with a warm smile: "This is your Uncle Chi, hurry up and say hello to Uncle Chi!" ”

Brother Geng'er looked like an adult and gave Cheng Chi a trick. She shouted "Uncle Chi" in a milky voice, and said, "Grandson has greeted you!" ”

Cheng Chi couldn't help but laugh and beckoned to Brother Geng'er.

Brother Geng'er was not afraid of life, and ran over with a smile.

Cheng Chi touched his head and thought about it. instructed Huaishan: "Send the jade plaque that I bought in the capital a few days ago and wait for it to be sealed immediately." ”

Huaishan respectfully responded "yes".

Cheng Zheng gently patted Brother Geng'er's shoulder and said with a smile: "Your Uncle Chi has rewarded you with something, why don't you thank Uncle Chi quickly." ”

Brother Geng'er opened his big black and white eyes and thanked Cheng Chi in a milky voice.

Cheng Chi felt that these eyes were very familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere, and he felt very fond of them in his heart, thinking about whether to appreciate a few more things from Brother Geng'er. The corner of his eye inadvertently glanced at Cheng Yi in the second room and Cheng Lu in the third room.

Cheng Yi's expression was a little proud, but Cheng Lu's eyes were a little displeased.

Cheng Chi couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

If you read less books, your vision will be limited.

Among the "Yan" generation, only Cheng Zhi became a relative and gave birth to two sons. Cheng Zhi brought his eldest son to the front hall. It is quite a bit of a sign that he has a successor.

But there are successors, which refers not only to the inheritance of blood, but also to the inheritance of family business and family voice.

The two children in the second room are both young, and it is too early to say this.

The two brothers are also narrow-minded.

No wonder they have to calculate Cheng Jiashan and Shaojin.

If it goes on like this, even if the Cheng family is not wiped out after ten years, if they want to stand in the ranks of the Jiangnan Wang clan, I am afraid that they will be a little reluctant.

Thinking about it this way, the thought of preparing to reward a few more things for Brother Geng'er also faded.

Cheng Yi asked Cheng Xu about his homework: "How many times have you read the "Commentary on the Four Books"? How many crafts do you do every day? A few days ago, Wende Pavilion and Deyi Book Company jointly published a "Joint Journal of Making Arts". I flipped through it, and there are a few articles that are well written, and you should buy them back. ”

Cheng Xu said respectfully: "When I entered Kyoto before, I studied with my second uncle. According to the meaning of the second uncle, I have memorized the "Commentary on the Four Books" three times. One article for two days. It is said that the "Art Making" was published by the cabinet minister of Zhishi, the first assistant Shin Minzhi Shin, and the second uncle Zu asked someone to buy it and come back, saying that he wanted to take a closer look, but I haven't turned it over yet, and I was in a hurry when I came back. I also forgot to ask the second uncle for it, and I heard Uncle Yi say this. I'll call someone to go to the bookstore tomorrow and buy a copy and come back. ”

Cheng Zhi and Cheng Zheng are listening with their ears propped up.

When he was in Kyoto, Cheng Zhi lived in Xinglin Hutong like Cheng Xu. But because of Mrs. Yuan, Cheng Xu either went to visit the Yuan family's house in Ertiao Hutong, or was called by Cheng Shao, who lived in Shuangyu Hutong, not far from Xinglin Hutong, to ask about his homework, and he and Cheng Xu spent even less time together than when they were in Jinling.

How Cheng Xu's progress was, he wanted to know.

Cheng Zheng's mood is very complicated.

He knew that if it weren't for the nods of the long room and the second room, he would not be able to become a leader even if he read well, unless his talent was against the sky, and the long room and the second room couldn't stop it. From now on, he is just smarter than ordinary people.

Seeing that Cheng Xu had so many resources, he could say that he was both envious and jealous.

If Cheng Xu wins this subject, he may be the youngest person in the Cheng family.

No, Cheng Shao, the second old lady of the long house, was lifted at the age of eighteen, and was finally ordered to explore flowers, could it be that Cheng Xu will have such a talent in the future?

Wrong.

Cheng Zheng thought again.

Uncle Yi in the second room was also eighteen years old, but he tried and failed repeatedly, and finally had to become the mountain chief of the Cheng clan.

It can be seen that nothing is static.

Cheng Xu may have Cheng Shao's life, but only Cheng Yiyun?

Cheng Zheng thought about it, and finally felt better in his heart.

Cheng Yi had also faintly heard that the "Art Making" that was highly respected by Jiangnan scholars was published by Shen Minzhi, but it was not confirmed, and now when he heard Cheng Xu say this, his expression couldn't help but be a little solemn. "Is this news reliable?" ”

Cheng Xu felt the delicate relationship between the Cheng family's several rooms at a very young age, and at that time he knew that he couldn't say anything in front of several uncles, not to mention that Cheng Chi had just told him a word, and he wouldn't say anything.

"I don't know!" He smiled apologetically. "At that time, I rushed back wholeheartedly, and I didn't have time to talk to my second uncle about it."

It is said that one of the examiners who presided over the spring festival this time was a student of Shen Minzhi, not the kind of student who presided over the scientific examination, but a student who followed Shen Minzhi and was considered a disciple.

Cheng Xu is going to participate in this year's township examination, and his son Cheng Zhi is already a lifter. I want to participate in next year's spring festival.

If this book is published by Shin Minzhi, it is likely that the style that Shin Minzhi's students like is among them.

Cheng Yi felt very angry when he thought about it.

This is the difference between the long house now and the second room!

Except for the ancestors, they have no way to screen the truth of an article, but in addition to Cheng Jing and Cheng Shao, there are even Cheng Wei and Cheng Chi in the long house.

Something they worked so hard to get together. For the long house, it is just a breeze and effortless.

Cheng Yi pondered whether to ask Cheng Chi for a few words.

Who knew that before he could speak, Cheng Lu had already said: "Jiashan, you quickly write a letter to your second uncle, I have a confidant, and I will also participate in the Spring Festival next year." He added, "Jiashan, Uncle Shao was the Tanhualang of the year." He usually asks you to do some craft, you can show me. I want to try it out this year, too. ”

Cheng Xu couldn't ask for it.

Although this Uncle Lu is a person who reads dead books, he reads dead books. But the person is good, with the arrogance and uprightness of a scholar, what he likes and dislikes, what he likes and what he doesn't like, what is good or not, will be directly expressed, although sometimes it makes people uncomfortable to hear. But it wasn't as hard as talking to Uncle Yi, and he was bypassed if he wasn't careful.

"After I go back, I will give you a copy of the title of the craftsmanship that my second uncle asked me to make......

The two of them immediately spoke fieryly.

Cheng Zhi silently lowered his head.

He really didn't know what to say.

That's what Cheng Wen doesn't like to hear the most.

If it weren't for Cheng Yi being his brother. He has always been high and high, and he likes to pay attention to what is inferior and inferior. Afraid of Cheng Xu, the ancestor of the second room, he had already spoken.

Now that Cheng Lu is asking Cheng Xu, where can he still hold back, he came to Cheng Chi with a smile and said in a low voice: "Brother Chi Cong, my brother has something to ask you ......"

Cheng Chi glanced at him lightly, unhurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said, "If it's for the woman outside, it's better not to speak." My mother is usually home alone, but she can't stand the trouble of Sister-in-law Wen. ”

Cheng Wen's face immediately swelled red, and he hurriedly said: "That shrew is uneducated, you don't want to be like her, sister-in-law, I am preparing to go over and make a compensation in person." ”

Cheng Chi was silent.

Cheng Wengan laughed twice, salivated and said: "Brother Chi Cong, I heard that you and the people of the Thirteen Elements are very good, this time the Thirteen Elements formed a fleet to go to the sea, and you also joined the group." Brother Chi Cong, you also know the scene on my side. That mother-in-law not only likes to sprinkle, but also a loser, seeing that your nephew is about to get engaged, but the family is stretched, I don't want to find a way to get some money, and when the new daughter-in-law enters the door, where will she look at me squarely, this face will be thrown to the in-laws. You're going to help me with this favor anyway! I'm begging you, brother! By the end of the day, there were already tears.

Cheng Chi said with a smile: "Brother Wen Cong, the shares of the Thirteen Lines are from the Gongzhong. Nothing to do with myself. When the time comes, you can also get a share, so why should you buy shares privately! ”

Cheng Wen's face turned purple, and he said after a while: "I, I can't help it?" Brother Chi Cong, why don't you help me figure out a way? I'm still a few thousand taels of silver short! Nuo Ge'er will be engaged to the eldest lady of Wu Governor's Mansion in a few days! ”

Cheng Chi thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, you move to the one outside." I listened to someone, it seems that you gave the three shops outside, four thousand taels of silver. If you change your left purse to your right purse, it's your money. ”
