Chapter 551: Emperor's Heart
The little girl massages herself...... That's a good idea!
Cheng Chi looked at Zhou Shaojin and smiled.
Inexplicably, Zhou Shaojin felt that the sight that fell behind her suddenly became a little ambiguous, as if Cheng Chi wanted to tempt her to do something every time.
She didn't dare to observe Cheng Chi's expression carefully, but changed the topic with some weakness: "Mrs. Song asked me if I would like to have a drink on the day I confessed my relatives?" β
It's to walk around as if they were relatives.
If Song Jingran was just an ordinary person, Zhou Shaojin would definitely respond immediately. But now that the shape of the court is so complex and changeable, she really doesn't dare to make her own opinions.
Cheng Chi said with a smile: "I was recommended by Lord Song, so naturally I want to advance and retreat with Lord Song." Regardless of whether we go to tea or not on the day when the grandmother of the Song family recognizes our relatives, others will also regard me as the person of Lord Song, rather than this, it is better to deal with the Song family generously, and those who want to use their brains should also think about business. β
Zhou Shaojin understands this truth.
She smiled and nodded, and talked about Cheng Rang's marriage: "The meeting gift is a set of silver-inlaid treasures, and then I privately packed a box of small goldfish to give to the Xie family." β
When the newlywed daughter-in-law enters the door, the meeting gift must be the same, otherwise the giver is easy to offend people, so that the new daughter-in-law is not good at life.
Cheng Chi saw that Zhou Shaojin was acting more and more in a charter, and said with a smile: "You can just make up your own mind about these things." β
But Zhou Shaojin likes to talk to Cheng Chi about this.
She couldn't help pouting and said, "Don't you like to hear me say this?" β
"I don't like it!" Cheng Chi is very straightforward.
Zhou Shaojin's tears were about to come out.
Cheng Chi has always been gentle and considerate to her, and has never spoken to her in such a tone.
She was devastated.
Cheng Chi bit her ear from behind. He said in a low voice: "It's rare for me to come back, you don't say that you think about me, think of me, just tell me these irrelevant things, if you have this free time, you might as well do something else with me......"
Zhou Shaojin's face suddenly turned red, and the bitter mood that he felt just now instantly became as sweet as honey.
Cheng Chi chuckled lowly, pursed her lips that were still as pink as a girl, and his hand went along the hem of her clothes.
There was a red-faced moan/moan in the room.
When the two went to Song's house to confess their relatives the next day, Zhou Shaojin was still a little afraid to look at Cheng Chi's smiling eyes. However, Cheng Chi is much more generous than her. When he got out of the sedan car, he turned around and helped her.
Song Sen, who came out, winked at Zhou Shaojin. lukewarmly called Cheng Chi "brother-in-law".
Cheng Chi said with a smile: "Several of your brothers call me the fourth brother, but you want to call me brother-in-law, fortunately, there is no little girl of the right age in the Zhou family, otherwise others will think that you are the son-in-law of the Zhou family!" β
Song Sen snorted disappreciably. said: "If I didn't know my sister, how would I know you?" You associate with yours. I'm dating mine. Irrelevant? Are you afraid that my sister will treat me too well? β
Cheng Chi didn't say anything with a smile, and said to Zhou Shaojin gently: "If there is anything, you can call Song Sen, anyway, he is idle when he is idle." If you open your eyes and close your eyes, you can still walk around the inner house for two years, and you don't have to be polite to him. β
Song Sen is still like when he was a child, he likes to pester Zhou Shaojin very much, Zhou Shaojin has no choice, every time he comes to Song's house, he will pick Song Sen to go to the school, but fortunately, Cheng Chi is broad-minded, no matter what Song Sen says, he treats him like a child who is ignorant of the world, which makes Zhou Shaojin feel more sorry for Cheng Chi's grievances.
"I see!" She said softly, and told Cheng Chi, "You have to go to the second uncle's side later, you drink less wine." β
It is impossible for a man to socialize outside without drinking, but Cheng Chi has always been measured and can drink without drinking. It's just that today's situation is special, Zhang Hui and others are here, and he has to toast a few glasses.
"You can rest assured." Cheng Chi smiled and leaned over in her ear and said, "I don't want to lose my temper in front of my boss." β
Zhou Shaojin believed him, and smiled softly and bowed his head.
Cheng Chi went to the open hall on the east side.
Song Sen scratched his ears and asked Zhou Shaojin, "What did Master Cheng say to you?" β
How could she sue Song Sen if she was a husband and wife.
"It's nothing, just let me be careful." Zhou Shaojin said absentmindedly, and saw that Zhang Hui's wife had arrived, and was sitting in the Taishi chair by the window and beckoning to her.
She left Song Sen and walked over: "Today is your brother's big day, you have something to do, right?!" β
Song Sen wanted to say something, but Zhou Shaojin had already bent his knees with a smile and saluted Zhang Hui's wife.
He had no choice but to leave in frustration.
Zhang Hui's wife got up when she was busy, pulled her to sit beside her, and asked Cheng Shaolai: "What's wrong with the old man?" I heard a few days ago that I was able to get out of bed, is it true? β
Zhou Shaojin should say "yes" and said: "After all, an elderly person was originally just an ordinary cold, but who knew that it would not be good after two or three months." Before, our old man was worried that his old man would turn into tuberculosis, but fortunately, he can get out of bed now, thanks to Aunt Chang's careful care. It's just that I can't sit and read for a long time now, otherwise I'll be dizzy, and Cao Yizheng said that he has to take care of it carefully for a while. β
"That's good, that's good." Zhang Hui's wife recited "Amitabha", but Zhou Shaojin found that the women around her were listening with their ears.
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Although she is not afraid of socializing with these people now, she still likes to play with Cheng Zheng and them, and everyone can say whatever they want.
But she still drank the tea of Song Mu's bride's wife Li Shijing with a decent smile, and chatted with Zhang Hui's wife and other ladies about the newly opened satin shop in Xizhimen, and had lunch, and then returned to Chaoyangmen with Cheng Chi.
Brother Yun has been ten months, can turn over and crawl, and knows how to call people simply, take off the heavy cotton jacket and change to a thinner jacket to be more flexible, when it doesn't stop for a moment, I don't know where to climb if I don't pay attention, and I also know that I hide behind the big pillow or behind the curtain to let people find, the girls in the mansion are staring at him and don't dare to blink, Mrs. Guo complained that Tingxiangyuan should not lead water in, afraid that Brother Yun will fall into the water.
When Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Chi went back, Brother Yun was sitting on the big kang near the window of Mrs. Guo's banquet room, and the nurse was feeding porridge. When the nurse's spoon was handed to his mouth, he had to see what was inside before he opened his mouth.
This is the consequence of his cold nose plugged a few days ago, and Mrs. Guo fed him Hu Chai drink.
Hearing the movement, the little guy turned around sensitively, squinted his eyes and laughed when he saw Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Chi, and shouted "Dad" and "Mother" at Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Chi.
Zhou Shaojin looked at his heart melting.
Three steps and two steps picked up Brother Yun.
Brother Yun hummed in her arms and didn't know what to say, and then stretched out his hand to Cheng Chi and asked Cheng Chi to hug him.
Cheng Chi hurriedly hugged his son in his arms, regardless of whether he knew it or not, he asked him as if he was a little adult: "What did our Brother Yun do today?" Did you get naughty with your grandmother? Did you hide so that the maid couldn't find it? β
Brother Yun didn't know if he could understand it or not, so he chattered with Cheng Chi's words.
Mrs. Guo's smile never stopped, and she asked Cheng Chi to give Brother Yun to the nurse: "He hasn't finished his meal today!" As soon as you come, he will be distracted and unwilling to eat. Let the nurse take him to the back of the regression to eat. β
The nurse stepped forward and hugged Brother Yun.
Yun Ge'er was reluctant to go.
Mrs. Guo said, "The nurse will take you to see the snowball." Play with snowballs. Your mother won't leave. β
Now Xueqiu has become Yun Ge'er's playmate.
Brother Yun didn't move when he heard this, and obediently let the nurse hug him.
Mrs. Guo instructed the eldest girl beside Brother Yun, Hongzhen: "Go and find the snowball." I promised Brother Yun. β
Hongzhen smiled and agreed, and retreated with the nurse who was holding Brother Yun.
Mrs. Guo asked Cheng Chi, "When are you going to Yuqian Hutong today?" β
Cheng Shao pretended to be sick, and Zhou Shaojin found out that except for Cheng Chi and her, she knew. The rest of the Cheng family didn't seem to know.
Cheng Chi smiled: "I'll talk to you and the conversation will pass."
Because Cheng Shao was sick. Cheng Chi wants to serve the sick. The emperor gave Cheng Chi a long vacation, and now he has not returned to the Imperial Procuratorate.
Mrs. Guo didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, and said, "If your second uncle is better." You'd better go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate earlier. Although it is a good thing to let the emperor remember your name, it may not be a good thing for you to let the emperor remember it if you are filial. β
Cheng Chi thought about it, and then smiled: "Mother don't worry, the relationship between the emperor and the second uncle is much better than we imagined." Yesterday afternoon, the emperor went to Yuqian Hutong again, and talked with his second uncle for two games. It's just that the second uncle didn't have much energy, and later I played two games with him. During this period, the emperor also asked me about the control of the Yellow River, and listening to that tone, it seemed that the embankment on the Gaoyou side was about to start repairing, but the second uncle diverted the conversation and talked about the taxes in the south of the Yangtze River. β
Mrs. Guo was worried and happy when she heard this. The worry is that he is afraid that the emperor will send Cheng Chi to control the water again, and he will not be able to get out of the river in the future.
But she is no ordinary woman, and she thinks more long-term.
After a moment of silence, she said: "You also tell your eldest brother about this matter, as for when he will visit your second uncle, that is his own business!" β
The implication is that whether he can meet the emperor or not depends on his opportunity.
Cheng Chi smiled: "I have already informed the eldest brother." It's really because there is still a happy event that I haven't told you! β
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Guo said with interest.
Cheng Chi pondered: "Since the death of the fifth prince, the emperor looks more than ten years older than usual, and sometimes people who play chess are distracted. After playing chess with me yesterday, it was time to hold the lamp, but the emperor flatly denied that he did not mention the matter of returning to the palace, not only had dinner in Yuqian Hutong, but also talked to the second uncle for a long time about the parents, and mentioned the third brother Fen and Brother Xun who died early...... Then the emperor gave Ah Bao a hereditary work from the four grades! The decree will be promulgated by tomorrow at the latest. I specially sent someone to tell Brother SΓΉ to keep an eye on him, so as not to let the cabinet people stir up. β
"What did you say?" Old Madam Guo and Zhou Shaojin both looked at each other, "Hereditary? Bao?! β
They're readers.
"yes!" Cheng Chi smiled bitterly: "The emperor is afraid that he remembered the prince and several princes who went there......"
and Cheng Shao had a sense of sympathy.
