Zhou Shaojin had an almost instinctive feeling about Cheng Chi's affairs.

Cheng Chi was not surprised, but smiled: "You can see it!" ”

The hand that was holding his shoulder grew stronger.

"I think you'll do it." Zhou Shaojin said in a low voice, "I'm afraid it will offend many people, right?" ”

"yes!" Cheng Chi sighed, "So before you do it, you want to know if it's right to do this?" ”

"I'm afraid not, right?" Zhou Shaojin smiled skillfully, "Do you want to rest before the rainstorm?" ”

If he didn't do it just because he was afraid of offending people, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.

Cheng Chi laughed, took Zhou Shaojin's hand, and did not speak.

After that, Cheng Chi went out early and returned late, and did not go out on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and went to Xinglin Hutong with Zhou Shaojin early.

Yuan is inspecting the dishes used in the sacrifice. And Cheng Shao had already arrived, and was sitting in the main hall talking with Mrs. Guo.

Cheng Chi smiled at Zhou Shaojin in a low voice: "You and I go to meet the second uncle!" ”

Zhou Shaojin thought for a moment, but said, "After you and I go to see the second uncle, we will go to help my sister-in-law, right?" Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I am also a daughter-in-law. ”

Cheng Chi smiled and nodded, "Our family Shaojin has grown up!" ”

Zhou Shaojin squinted at him and said, "It's as if I don't even understand this." ”

Cheng Chi chuckled under his breath.

The couple entered the hall one after the other.

After saying hello to Cheng Xun and Mrs. Guo, Zhou Shaojin went to the kitchen.

Cheng Shao said with a smile: "Although Shiro's daughter-in-law is young, she is very sensible. ”

Mrs. Guo smiled with satisfaction and said humbly: "It's quite obedient." ”

Cheng Shao smiled and nodded. and Cheng Chi talked about Yang Shoushan: "...... I heard that the family was destitute. If it can be remedied, then remedy, right? After all, a colleague. ”

Cheng Chi smiled and should be. glanced at Cheng Shao.

Cheng Shao understood, and he was almost seated. He excused himself to take a look in the study, and was accompanied out of the hall by Cheng Chi.

The two walked slowly down the verandah, talking.

Cheng Wen and Cheng Nuo came over to meet them.

Cheng Shao was stunned.

Cheng Chi had already guessed it, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the eldest brother and sister-in-law invited Wen Cong's family to come over for the New Year." ”

The New Year is going to be lively. After all, Cheng Jing and Cheng Wen are brothers, and now Cheng Wen is in Beijing with his son and daughter-in-law, so it is reasonable to invite them over for the New Year.

Cheng Shao nodded indifferently......

Cheng Wen walked over in three steps and two steps.

"When the eldest brother and sister-in-law saw that we were lonely, they asked us to come over for the New Year together." He saluted the two of them with a smile and said, "How is the second uncle?" I haven't seen you in a few days? And he said, "Zichuan." Thank you for introducing me to the goods stores, not only the price is fair, but also the people are very good - I rushed to get the goods before the Chinese New Year, and the first day was off to a good start, earning more than a dozen taels of silver. If this continues, my business will be very promising! It's no wonder that the old family is also thinking about two good businesses! ”

This is the beginning, everyone is giving face to cheer, and it will be difficult to say after a long time. You have to rely on your own business!

Cheng Shao and Cheng Chi exchanged a look. Cheng Chi said with a smile: "The family doesn't talk to each other. Hopefully, your business will flourish. Mother didn't know you were coming, did she? My second uncle and I are walking around outside, Brother Wen Cong is going to say hello to my mother, right? I'm afraid my mother is still waiting for you to come! ”

Cheng Wen grinned. took Cheng Nuo and Wu Baozhang to the main hall.

Cheng Chi and Cheng Shao went to the study.

Wu Baozhang is also a daughter-in-law, since she came over for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, she was embarrassed to sit in the main hall and talk to Cheng Wen and Old Mrs. Guo. After sitting for a while, she found an opportunity to help out in the kitchen.

The little maid of the Cheng family led the way in front.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw Zhou Shaojin sitting on a small pestle by the door, eating freshly cooked assorted rice cakes. Several of her own maids surrounded her like the moon, and a little maid held a soup bowl next to her, and a mother-in-law offered courtesy next to her: "...... I have long heard that Chaoyangmen invited a master from Jiangnan. I don't know if this snack is right for your taste? You try it! If there's anything you don't do well, tell us straight. We're going to change it. The old lady has to live with us for more than a month! Although she never picks the quality of snacks, we are busy working in the stove. If the owners don't like it, we don't have a light on our faces. He took the soup bowl in the maid's hand and brought it to Zhou Shaojin, and said, "It's jujube paste, red bean and osmanthus soup." Authentic Shandong jujubes, sweet but not greasy, the fourth wife also helped us taste it, to see if we want to add some sugar. ”

Zhou Shaojin put the chopsticks aside and said with a smile: "This rice cake is very well done, but there are too many grapes, and it is a little sour." The old lady is old, and her teeth can't eat acid. Then he took a sip of the sweet soup and said, "Put a little too many dates, rough mouth, just put a little less." ”

The mother-in-law on the stove nodded and said "yes".

Wu Baozhang looked at it and sneered in his heart.

Zhou Shaojin really doesn't know whether to live or die, and actually evaluates the craftsmanship of the mother-in-law on the Cheng family's stove?

She swept around, but saw neither Yuan nor Qiu.

Wu Baozhang thought about it, and still stepped forward to salute Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin knew that the Yuan family had invited Cheng Wen and them to come here for the New Year, she didn't get up, continued to sit there eating her pastries and drinking her sweet soup, and bowed her head to Wu Baozhang.

Wu Baozhang was unhappy in his heart, and smiled angrily: "Why don't you see Aunt Jing and Aunt Wei?" ”

Zhou Shaojin said: "The second sister-in-law is cleaning the ancestral hall, and the sister-in-law went over to look." ”

He didn't ask her when she was coming, nor did he invite her to sit down for a cup of tea.

Wu Baozhang had no choice but to continue to endure it, and said to the mother-in-law on the stove with a smile: "What kind of sweet soup is this?" It smells sweet! ”

The mother-in-law on the stove smiled: "It's jujube paste red bean osmanthus soup." "Hurriedly ordered the man on the stove to bring a bowl.

Zhou Shaojin ignored her and ate sweet soup delicately.

The mother-in-law flatteringly took a small bowl of Ji red porcelain with a chicken leg and whispered to Zhou Shaojin: "Fourth wife, we made a chicken called Huahua, can you taste it?" ”

Zhou Shaojin looked at it and smiled: "You gave me this chicken leg." Wouldn't that chicken be served with a chicken leg missing? ”

The mother-in-law smiled: "Look at what you said, we don't often do this called turning chickens." Isn't this afraid that it won't look good on the desktop? I was afraid that there would be no vegetables for the guests who suddenly came to the house, so I made a few more. You just have to eat. If you think it's delicious, I'll tear you another chicken leg. ”

When she was having breakfast at home, Cheng Chi forced her to eat two more soup dumplings, afraid that she would be hungry after late lunch. It's okay to taste half a rice cake and drink a small bowl of sweet soup, but it's a bit reluctant to eat a chicken leg. But the woman came over with a salivating face, and everyone in the kitchen looked at her, she was embarrassed not to give the woman face, smiled and took the bowl, tore two and tasted it. The taste is also really good. She smiled and praised: "No wonder you can manage the kitchen, if nothing else, you can take charge of the craft of turning chickens." ”

The mother-in-law was so happy that she didn't bother her mouth, and went to tear a chicken leg for Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help laughing and said, "You want me not to have lunch!" ”

The woman smiled and said, "The old lady only has breakfast in the morning, and the kitchen is busy making sacrificial dishes. Don't wait until you're hungry! Speaking of this, I thought that Wu Baozhang was also there, and thought about it and instructed the little maid in the kitchen: "Go, cut some of the chicken breast meat for Grandma Nuo!" ”

Wu Baozhang was so angry that he trembled.

She's not the poor family who hasn't eaten chicken. Actually asked someone to give her chicken breast? Or is it Zhou Shaojin who eats the leftovers......

"No need!" She said with an unkind face, "I'm not a child, what do you want to eat in the kitchen?" No more! ”

Zhou Shaojin wasn't ready to ignore her at all. handed the small bowl of Ji red porcelain to the Spring Festival Gala: "This is called Hua Chicken, it tastes so good, you can also taste it." ”

The Spring Festival Gala took it with a smile.

The mother-in-law glanced at Wu Baozhang. smiled toothlessly and said to the Spring Festival Gala: "And, there's more!" If the girl thinks it's delicious. I'm going to chop a plate here, how can I wronged the girls! ”

The Spring Festival Gala and others smiled and thanked each other, but they felt indecent, and after tasting it alone, they put down their chopsticks.

Everyone was making a fuss, and Yuan came over.

Zhou Shaojin shouted "sister-in-law", and Wu Baozhang hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

There are a lot of things today, and Yuan didn't notice the kitchen matter, nodded at Wu Baozhang, and said, "Nuo's nephew and daughter-in-law are here", and said to Zhou Shaojin: "Brother and sister, the second brother and sister are busy over there, you go over and help!" ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled and said "good", got up and went to the ancestral hall.

Wu Baozhang hurriedly said: "Auntie, why don't I go and help?" ”

"No need!" Yuan said, "Those are all for sacrifice, Shaojin can just go over." The kitchen is also messy, if you're okay, just talk to the old lady! ”

Wu Baozhang smiled and responded "yes", looking a little embarrassed.

If the sect is divided, it is not a family.

Zhou Shaojin is the daughter-in-law of the long house, so she can help clean up the ancestral hall, she is a guest, so she can only chat with the old lady.

She went to the main hall.

Mrs. Guo is taking Cheng Nuo's homework.

Cheng Nuo was sweating profusely when asked.

Old Madam Guo sighed and said, "Brother Nuo, although your father plans to do business, this business is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. There's a big difference between when you read a book and when you don't. You'll still have to put some effort into your homework in the future. If you really don't like it, remember to urge your children to study in the future. Our Cheng family has had scholars for generations. ”

Cheng Nuo wiped his sweat, but only promised.

Wu Baozhang's face was hot, and he felt that he was embarrassed and threw himself into the capital.

She turned and walked out.

After walking for a while, I found myself running to the east courtyard.

The door of the Cheng family ancestral hall was wide open, and Zhou Shaojin was setting up the offering table while talking to Qiu.

Qiu sat on the small pestle and wiped the utensils that would be used for sacrifice, and responded to Zhou Shaojin with a smile.

Wu Baozhang felt a breath in his chest.

Isn't Zhou Shaojin the new daughter-in-law?

Isn't it supposed to be her rubbing the sacrificial utensils and Qiu setting the offering table?

Why did everything change when I got to Zhou Shaojin?

She couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Where did Cheng Xu go?

The things that are sacrificed to the ancestors cannot pass through the hands of others, Cheng Xu is the grandson of the eldest house, and he should also come to wipe the sacrificial utensils......
