Chapter 293: No Appointment

Zhou Shaojin definitely didn't cry because she missed her sister.

So why is she sad?

Cheng Chi suddenly fell asleep.

He called Mama Shang to come in and said, "You go to Ruyixuan to inquire, what did Miss Ji say to Miss Erbiao?" ”

Mama Shang had just gone to bed and rested when Cheng Chi called over, thinking that something big had happened, but she didn't expect it to be this incident - she had made two trips to Fucui Pavilion today. But she has always been able to observe her face, lowered her eyebrows and answered "yes" quietly, and said respectfully: "Fourth master, it's been three watches, and at this time, I was only afraid that Ruyixuan had fallen into lock." Why don't I go tomorrow at dawn? ”

Cheng Chi was shocked to realize that he was a little out of shape, and said: "When to inquire is secondary, the important thing is to ask things clearly." Don't be like Fucui Pavilion, all the questions are perfunctory words on the scene. ”

Mama Shang respectfully agreed and retreated.

Cheng Chi kept his eyes open for a long time before falling asleep.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Mama Shang came over and replied: "There is a nephew named Li Jing in the mother's family of Li Lao'an in the third room, who seems to have taken a fancy to Miss Ji, but Mrs. Lu Da does not agree anyway because Li Jing is a businessman. A few days ago, Mrs. Lu invited Li Jing into the house to speak, and Miss Ji accidentally met, Miss Ji said a few words to Li Jing, Mrs. Lu was busy witnessing the uncle's marriage, and she didn't have the energy to take care of Miss Ji for a while, so she banned Miss Ji for a while......"

She was organized and told Cheng Chi everything that happened.

Cheng Chi was even more puzzled and said, "What is the second cousin crying about?" ”

Since what Cheng Ji said was all about her and Li Jing, what did the little girl do?

Mama Shang was even more confused than Cheng Chi, and promised in a loud voice: "Fourth master." I also found out with the help of Dongting's talents, if you don't believe it, I called the little girl under Dongting in, you can ask her in person. ”

"No need!" Cheng Chi's eyes flashed slightly, and he said. "It's probably because Miss Ji said something that inadvertently touched Miss Erbiao, and this matter will end here!"

Mama Shang bowed her head and said "yes" and retreated.

Cheng Chi stood alone in front of the window with his hands behind his back for a while, Qingfeng ran in and said, "Fourth master, the old lady asked." Do you still accompany her to Gu's house? If she didn't go, then her old man would leave first. If you are there, you will have to leave now. ”

How to forget about this!

Cheng Chi changed his clothes and hurriedly went to the upper room.

From afar, he could hear his mother's hearty smile.

Cheng Chi couldn't help but smile a little on his face.

He's at home. My mother has someone to keep her company, and her love is much better than before.

Thinking that his mother had been waiting for him, he didn't wait for the little maid on duty at the door to tell him, so he took three steps and two steps into the hall.

On the long case in the hall, there is a large handful of fiery peony flowers in the big flower goblet of the kiln.

Zhou Shaojin was wearing a lake-blue plain Hangzhou silk gown, a moon-white skirt, and stood beside the flower goose with a smile.

Such a plain dress, the bright red intricate flowers not only did not make her become silent, but reflected her eyebrows picturesquely. Bright as jade.

Cheng Chi couldn't help but breathe.

Didn't you let her rest in the Floating Pavilion?

How did you get here?

He frowned slightly, and was about to ask what was going on, but Mrs. Guo had already said with a smile: "It's just for you!" All right. When the people are all here, you go and say to the errand boy in the sedan hall, and we will set off. ”

The last few words were said to Mama Lu.

Cheng Chi was surprised and said, "Shao Jin also went along?" ”

"yes!" Old Madam Guo happily patted Zhou Shaojin's hand and said. The kid had a heart and said it was nothing more. Just follow me to see a few young ladies of the Gu family. ”

What's going on?

Cheng Chi looked at Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin didn't expect that Cheng Chi would accompany Mrs. Guo to the Gu family.

But when she knew, Mrs. Guo had already asked people to call Cheng Chi.

She can't say, "Since Uncle Chi is with you, then I won't go", right?

But thinking of yesterday, she cried inexplicably because she was afraid of losing Uncle Chi's protection. She was a little embarrassed to see Cheng Chi.

At this time, Cheng Chi looked like she was questioning, she was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and whispered: "I, I'm fine...... The old lady said that she went to Gu's house as a guest, and I thought that Uncle Chi had something to do, so I volunteered to accompany the old lady to visit the house...... I didn't know that Uncle Chi would accompany the old lady to ......"

Cheng Chi couldn't laugh or cry.

Or volunteer?!

Is the Gu family Longtan or Tiger's Den?

If she knew that she would also go to the Gu family, wouldn't she be ready to go?

In vain, he worried about her in the middle of the night!

What a little white-eyed wolf, I can't raise a family!

It's good now, he is afraid that his mother will go to the Gu family alone and encounter bad things and no one will explain them; She was afraid that her mother would go to Gu's house alone and there would be no one to accompany her...... The two of them accidentally thought of going together.

Thinking about it this way, this little girl is also a little conscientious.

Cheng Chi's expression was slightly gloomy.

Old Madam Guo knew that Cheng Chi was very busy these days, and thought that he was angry that they had delayed him, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I didn't make it clear about this matter." Shao Jin is also kind-hearted. If you have something, then you're busy. I'll go to Gu's house with Shaojin. ”

They went to the Gu family to be middle-aged people, and they didn't go to the Gu family to enjoy the flowers and see the scenery, with Zhou Shaojin, who didn't know anything, how could he do it if he didn't go?

Cheng Chi said: "I've already arranged the matter, so I'd better accompany you over!" ”

Mrs. Guo felt like a mirror in her heart.

She is a widowed old lady, even if she has been in charge of the general affairs of Jiuru Lane, in terms of ability, vision, and knowledge, she may not be as good as the big shopkeepers of those big commercial houses, and she is not much better than anyone. It's just because she raised three Jinshi sons, and the eldest son is also an example of Jiuqing, others gave her a little thin face, called her "old lady", and asked her to uphold justice, to put it bluntly, but she needed to borrow the power of her sons.

So she didn't go to other people's homes to be guests.

But the family is different.

The Gu family, the Guo family, and the Cheng family are all friendships of several generations, and the Guo family and the Cheng family have both received the favor of the Gu family, and she can't watch the Gu family's "poetry and books passed down to the world, and the home of etiquette" this brand falls.

With a capable youngest son to follow, things may go more smoothly.

Mrs. Guo is not hypocritical. Zhou Shaojin was helped on the sedan chair.

Zhou Shaojin was arranged to sit in the second sedan chair.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Cheng Chi standing next to the sedan hall.

Uncle Chi sent someone to ask her twice last night, would she like to thank Uncle Chi?

Zhou Shaojin hesitated.

Cheng Chi sighed.

This little girl has all seven emotions and six desires on her face, and when she arrives at the Gu family, she will not be eaten alive.

When she arrived at Plum Blossom Lane, it was better to throw her into the pile of several young ladies of the Gu family to play.

Cheng Chi thought about it and walked to Zhou Shaojin's side. Wen Sheng said: "Do your eyes still hurt?" ”

Uncle Chi wasn't angry with her!

Zhou Shaojin smiled, nodded again and again, and said anxiously: "I asked the Spring Festival Gala to help me boil eggs, it was very effective, and I couldn't see anything when I got up in the morning." ”

Cheng Chi saw her like a little girl offering treasures, and couldn't help but joke with her: "I also know how to use eggs." It can be seen that he cries a lot! ”

Zhou Shaojin's face turned red and he muttered speechless.

Cheng Chi smiled and said, "I'll come back later, I have something to ask you." When you come out of the old lady's house, go to the Oriole Pavilion to look for me. ”

Yes!

Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened.

Cheng Chi had turned around and walked towards his sedan chair.

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly chased after him. said, "Uncle Chi, what do you want to ask me?" Can't you ask now? ”

Cheng Chi pointed to the sedan chair where Mrs. Guo had left the sedan hall, and said, "Now is not the time to speak!" ”

This is indeed not the time to speak.

But Uncle Chi dropped such a sentence, how could she feel at ease this day?

Zhou Shaojin pouted and got on the sedan chair.

Cheng Chi couldn't help but shake his head.

This little girl can't hold her breath at all.

I knew this, so I wouldn't have told her this.

Still, she can't do it all.

This time it's time to exercise her.

When she arrived at Gu's house, Mrs. Gu didn't expect Cheng Chi to come with her.

She heard that Cheng Chi and the Thirteen Lines had a big deal. If it happens, Jiuru Lane can eat for three years.

When the people of the Gu family heard this, they all gave their thumbs up and praised Cheng Chi's power, thinking that it was a pity that he didn't come out.

She was busy asking people to go to several old ladies and masters of the Gu family.

A few old ladies may go to the ancestral tomb of the Gu family in Qinglong Mountain. Or went to the temple to recite the scriptures, only the fifth master of the Gu family was at home.

Mrs. Gu couldn't take care of these anymore, so she invited someone to inform the old lady and master of the Gu family who could rush back, and on the other hand, she invited the fifth master of the Gu family to accompany the guests, and she personally helped Mrs. Guo to the inner courtyard.

Mama Lu whispered to the seventh grandmother of the Gu family, who followed Mrs. Gu to greet the guests: "A few ladies are talking, and the second cousin is young. I'm afraid that I can't sit still, so I asked the seventh grandmother to take our second cousin to sit in the rooms of several young ladies. ”

Grandma Gu Qi knew why the Gu family invited Mrs. Guo to come over as a guest. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Mama don't worry." I'll leave that to me. Then she thought that Zhou Shaojin had a good relationship with the seventeenth girl of the Gu family, and after three teas, several wives had arrived, and she personally led Zhou Shaojin to the seventeenth miss of the Gu family.

The Gu family Ding Xingwang, although the Gu family is composed of two big mansions with five entrances, but when it is the turn of the seventeenth miss of the Gu family, she can only live in a wing room with the eighteenth miss of the Gu family - the dark room in the east belongs to the seventeenth miss of the Gu family, and the dark room in the west is the eighteenth miss of the Gu family. The maids and mother-in-law all live in the back room. Share a hall. It's going to come in and out.

Fortunately, the Gu sisters are well taught, and they can suppress their temperament and be humble and polite, and they also talk and laugh when they live together, which is quite lively.

Knowing that Gu Seventeen Aunt had a guest here, Gu Eighteen Aunt came out to greet Zhou Shaojin, said a few polite words, and asked the personal maid to bring the vine cake she made a few days ago, and then went back to the house.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but speak, and whispered to Gu Seventeen Aunt: "You are so capable!" ”

Gu Qigu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Look up and don't see you when you look down." So the girls in our family have adapted very well when they get married. ”

That's just as well!

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "You are also very capable!" ”

Gu Qigu laughed and asked her, "What are you doing here?" Why did the eldest aunt invite Mrs. Guo to come to the house as a guest? ”

Zhou Shaojin said embarrassedly: "If you don't know, I can't sue you." If I'm really curious, I can't tell you until I've asked Mrs. Guo or Uncle Chi. ”
