Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but secretly mourn for Cheng Zheng in his heart.

Cheng Chi is very busy right now.

Ever since the imperial grandson had asked him about the topic of the Four Princes, he had often been left to speak outside of class. Sometimes it's asking where is the Huzhou capital? How far is it from Jiaxing? Sometimes I ask how many people are in Xi'an? How much food is produced per year? Is there more grain in Huguang or more in Xi'an? Sometimes I ask Yuan Weichang what year is the Jinshi? Who are the people in the family? In addition to the marriage between the Yuan family and the Li family and the Huang family, what other prominent in-laws does the Yuan family have?

Once asked him in a joking tone, I heard that you married your niece, did you really not see your niece before marrying?

He replied very calmly at the time: "Of course the minister has seen it." So as soon as my mother mentioned the marriage, I immediately agreed. ”

The imperial grandson seemed to be very interested when he heard this, and wanted to continue to say something, but the big eunuch who was serving him next to him coughed lightly, and the imperial grandson stopped the topic with some embarrassment.

He doesn't actually mind being asked that.

No one will talk about it behind their backs.

When he dared to divide the sect, he thought that he would be criticized.

What's more, the imperial grandson is only an eleven-year-old child, and it is normal to be curious about these things.

All he could do was not let his little girl be at fault.

But it may also be that his attitude is too calm, and the imperial grandson likes to talk to him more, and sometimes he will be asked if it is not his class, which invisibly occupies his time, so that he often goes out early and returns late.

Since the husband and wife have time to gossip today, he doesn't want these family trivialities to occupy their time.

"You said a few days ago that you were learning to draw with Brother Yun. How's it going? He sat down on the kang, poured a cup of tea for Zhou Shaojin, and said with a smile, "I'll take a look at your paintings later." ”

Zhou Shaojin's face turned red, and he said coquettishly: "No, I haven't learned well yet." I'll draw it to you when I'm done. ”

Yun Ge'er is not yet two years old, she still has the foundation of painting patterns, Mrs. Guo casually told Yun Ge'er to learn to paint, she also learned to paint two strokes when she was idle, it stands to reason. How can she be better than Yun Ge'er? Who knew that Brother Yun was holding a brush and dotting around. And then add a few strokes to make it a chicken, but everyone says that Brother Yun'er draws chickens more interestingly than her.

In front of the people outside, she could only smile and praise Brother Yun for being smart, but in front of Cheng Chi, she couldn't help but be a little frustrated, and said, "Mother said that I haven't carefully observed what the chick looks like at all." So it's not as interesting as Brother Yun'er's drawing...... But Brother Yun has seen how the chicks look? ”

Cheng Chi had also heard about it. That's why he wanted to see what went wrong with Zhou Shaojin's paintings.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh. Said: "I'm afraid that there are chickens in the bird's forest." ”

Zhou Shaojin suddenly realized.

During the Chinese New Year, Cheng Rang sent two brocade chickens to Brother Yun and raised them in Brother Yun'er's house, and Brother Yun chased the two chickens every day. Snowball also joined in the fun, helping Brother Yun catch the two chickens. At first, the two chickens had to turn back to peck Brother Yun, but when Snowball joined, they trembled with fright and jumped on the hibiscus tree and refused to come down.

She had no choice but to clean up a remote and quiet corner in the northeast of the garden and named it Bird Yulin to house the two golden pheasants. Later, Brother Yun only thought about running east and west with Jiying every day, and had no time to provoke the two golden chickens, so Zhou Shaojin forgot about it.

Zhou Shaojin was a little embarrassed.

Cheng Chi was full of interest and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

Zhou Shaojin accompanied Cheng Chi to the Bird Language Forest.

Compared with the beginning when I only raised two golden chickens, Bird Yulin has become very different.

Not only did they add parrots, orioles, pigeons, starlings and other common birds, but they also raised two single-crowned cranes and two peacocks.

Zhou Shaojin was amazed again and again.

She also saw the flock of chicks digging under the camellia trees.

The little finch who was in charge of the bird language forest had now grown into a tall and thin guy, and he muttered to Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Chi with a white face: "They were all sent by Mrs. Qin, and Uncle Yun came together...... The old lady knows...... I thought Madame knew......"

Mrs. Qin San is Jiying.

Zhou Shaojin rubbed his forehead.

Since she became pregnant, she ate and slept and slept......

Zhou Shaojin said: "When did these birds and finches come over?" ”

Xiaoque said: "It was sent intermittently after the beginning of spring." ”

"Don't the birds in the forest be fed? If so, where does it come from? ”

A large part of the reason why she didn't know about the changes in Bird Grove was that she didn't see the name of Bird Grove in her family's expenses.

Xiao Que said proudly: "Mrs. Qin San brought some things like buns, there are wild fruit birds in the forest, and there is no cost in the bird forest." After speaking, he glanced at Zhou Shaojin timidly, for fear that Zhou Shaojin would disperse the appearance of the bird forest.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't cry or laugh, glanced at the maid who was hugging her, and said, "Uncle Yun is still young, you must remember to tell me if you encounter such a thing in the future." ”

Everyone looked towards Cheng Chi.

Cheng Chi's face was grim.

The maid and the woman are busy bending over.

Zhou Shaojin's face was slightly pale.

Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin discussed: "Why don't you keep two red-crowned cranes in your house?" You can also draw red-crowned cranes when you're fine! ”

Zhou Shaojin felt that this was so difficult, and smiled a little sneeringly: "I'd better learn to draw chickens with Brother Yun!" ”

Cheng Chi smiled and squeezed Zhou Shaojin's hand, and let people catch a few chickens and raise them in Zhou Shaojin's yard.

Brother Yun saw it but shouted, "Mother, the chickens will eat your hosta flowers." ”

"No, it won't!" Zhou Shaojin smiled and patted Brother Yun'er's little fart, and asked him, "What did you do today?" ”

Brother Yun pouted: "I'm playing shuttlecock with Agarwood, it's not fun at all." Aunt Ji already has ......," he counted his little finger, "one day, two days, three days...... Didn't come for five days. ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled, wondering if he should send someone over to Xizhimen to take a look. Qin Ziping personally came to report to Zhou Shaojin, saying that Ji Ying had been pregnant for three months, because she had been in good health all along, and there was no reaction, if it wasn't for the maid next to her to remind her, Ji Ying would not know until now.

"Congratulations! Congratulations! Zhou Shaojin was overjoyed, and hurriedly instructed Jixiang to open the warehouse and get two boxes of bird's nest for Qin Ziping.

Qin Ziping knew that Zhou Shaojin was full of good goods that money couldn't buy, so he was not polite, and accepted the things to thank Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly took Qin Ziping to Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo was also very happy.

This is Qin Shouyue's first great-grandson.

The tonic and clothing rewarded most of the car, and repeatedly told Qin Ziping to take good care of Jiying. What else is said that pregnant women are usually thoughtful. Let him accompany Jiying more, and let Yunyun endure everything, which made Zhou Shaojin jealous.

Qin Ziping smiled and thanked Mrs. Guo. I took my things back to Xizhimen.

Early the next morning, Ji Ying came over to thank Mrs. Guo.

Old Madam Guo looked at her with a ruddy face and a light body. Not at all like a pregnant woman. Nodding his head incessantly. After only accepting a salute from her, she asked Mama Lu to help her sit down under her head, and said, "When is the delivery date?" Remember to report to us then? ”

Ji Hotaru has always been generous and decent, and agreed with a smile. Said: "The doctor said that the delivery period will be around mid-ten, and then you have to ask the old lady to take care of it." ”

Mrs. Guo and Zhou Shaojin were very happy to hear it.

In this way, Zhou Shaojin's children and Jiying's children will be born before and after.

Mrs. Guo said "yes" repeatedly, and gave an old mother-in-law next to Ji Ying, saying that she was taking care of her pregnancy.

Ji Ying heard that this mother-in-law had taken care of Zhou Shaojin, so she didn't shirk and responded with a smile.

After a few days, the Ji family, who got the letter, not only sent things and the servants who served, but Jiying's sister-in-law also came over in person, and after greeting Mrs. Guo, she also sent a lot of things to Mrs. Guo and Zhou Shaojin.

Mrs. Guo smiled and thanked the grandmother of the Ji family.

Zhou Shaojin was a little disappointed.

In her imagination, the eldest wife of the Ji family should be a heroic woman, but the eldest lady of the Ji family is gentle, plump and white, and looks like a very ordinary wife in charge of a rich gentry family.

Ji Ying covered her mouth and smiled when she found out, and said, "You think we are all three-headed and six-armed!" Let me tell you the truth, my sister-in-law and our family are a good match, and their family has a set of small heirlooms, which is the most suitable for girls to learn. Even if you don't have to walk the rivers and lakes, you can deal with your husband after learning this set. I also thought that if you gave birth to a daughter in this child, I begged my sister-in-law to tell her a few tricks, so as not to be bullied like you. ”

Zhou Shaojin was embarrassed, and was busy pouring tea for Jiying.

Ji Ying couldn't stop laughing, took Brother Yun'er's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Bird Language Forest to play." And said, "I have already told my sister-in-law, let my eldest brother pay attention, and find a way to get you a few sika deer to raise in the garden, then it will be fun!" ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't that bird language forest going to be messed up." ”

Ji Ying disagreed, and said with a smile: "With such a big garden as your family, you should raise more small animals." ”

I'm afraid that's not right, right?

Zhou Shaojin told Cheng Chi about it.

Cheng Chi also disagreed, and said: "There are too many birds and beasts, there are many mosquitoes in summer, and it is easy to get sick in spring." But it is beneficial for Brother Yun to have more contact with birds and beasts since he was a child...... We might as well set up a grange in Daxing or Wanping to raise some small things......"

Zhou Shaojin was stunned and said, "Is our family going to start buying a grange?" ”

When the family was separated, everyone knew that Cheng Chi did not get much silver except for this house. And it costs a lot of money to raise this big house.

Cheng Chi said with a smile: "I have asked Xiao Zhenhai and Xu Mu about the Seven Star Hall. Both of them wanted to take over. But those elders of the Xiao family disagreed, and would rather abandon their family and start over in the Central Plains, so Xiao Zhenhai had to give up. Xu Mu will worship me as a teacher in a few days and slowly take over the affairs of the Seven Star Hall...... In a few years, the Seven Star Hall will have nothing to do with us. ”

In this way, the descendants of the Cheng family can live an ordinary life.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but be overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Okay, let's buy some land in Daxing or Wanping." ”
