Zhou Shaojin followed behind her sister Zhou Chujin in an orderly manner, but Cheng Ji quietly pulled Zhou Shaojin's sleeve when the Jiang family and the eldest wife of the He family were polite, and said in a low voice: "Did you hear it just now...... The people of the He family all praise you for your beauty, and when you go back, you will help me embroider two purses. ”

"The people of the He family also praised your jewelry for its good looks." Zhou Shaojin sat upright, but the corners of his mouth murmured, "Then do you have to give me two pieces of jewelry when you go back?" ”

"Okay!" Cheng Ji's eyes flickered, and he said, "It's okay to give you two pieces of jewelry, you have to make me two more purses!" ”

How did I forget that Cheng Ji is a rich man!

Zhou Shaojin secretly regretted it, and said strangely: "Who are you going to give the purse to?" Isn't Cuihuan's needlework also very good? ”

"You don't care." Cheng Ji refused to sue Zhou Shaojin, and said, "Anyway, you remember that you owe me two purses." ”

How can there be such a domineering?

Zhou Shaojin still wanted to say a few words to Cheng Ji, but Jiang, who had been paying attention to Cheng Ji from the corner of his eye, floated over.

Cheng Ji and Zhou Shaojin hurriedly stopped the topic and sat down.

The matchmaker of the He family invited Mrs. Gu to help insert the hairpin.

Jiang held the box where the hairpin was placed, and the people of the Cheng family followed Mrs. Gu to the wing room of He Fengping, the eldest lady of the He family.

He Fengping's wing room was already full of people, He Fengping's aunts, aunts, cousins, and young ladies who were good friends with her, and there were quite a lot of people in the room.

Zhou Shaojin and the others won everyone's amazed eyes as soon as they entered.

Jiang couldn't help but feel a little proud, and his eyes fell on a woman in a four-grade dress in the room.

She knew that it should be the sister-in-law of Mrs. Chu's mother's family, and she was also the one who looked at Cheng Ji.

Jiang glanced at his daughter. Seeing Cheng Ji honestly standing by Zhou Shaojin's side, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The three girls from the Cheng family were of different ages, and He Fengping's mother immediately told who was who.

She couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart.

In terms of appearance, the second miss of the Zhou family is too thin, and she is not as good as the fourth miss of the Cheng family. But the father of the second lady of the Zhou family is a two-rank jinshi, a prefect of the fourth grade, who is in the prime of life, and his future is immeasurable...... No wonder my sister-in-law took a fancy to this girl. However, nothing is perfect in this world. He Fengping's mother only sighed a little in her heart.

She sat there reservedly, waiting for the matchmaker's introduction before standing up.

Jiang Shi took He Fengping's mother's hand with great enthusiasm and complimented her on giving birth to a good daughter.

He Fengping, who was sitting in the inner room, was wearing a bright red makeup gown, in order to insert hairpins, her black green silk was all rolled up and combed into a double screw bun behind her head, revealing a smooth forehead, she was not wearing any jewelry on her body, her face was red and her head was lowered, and her eyes did not dare to glance.

Zhou Shaojin thought it was very interesting.

In her previous life, she had only seen He Fengping, who was dignified and beautiful, and had a generous demeanor, and she had never seen He Fengping, who was shy and timid.

It may be that the identity was quite different at that time, He Fengping should have the bearing of an eldest sister-in-law, right?

Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips and smiled.

Cheng Ji said in her ear: "The eldest lady of the He family is quite good-looking!" ”

"Of course." Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but be honored, and said, "Don't look at who chose the daughter-in-law." ”

Cheng Ji laughed softly.

He Fengping suddenly raised his head and looked at them, and quickly lowered his head.

Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Ji both laughed.

Over there, He Fengping's mother had already finished greeting the Jiang family, and the matchmaker of the He family looked at Shi Chen and shouted with a smile, "The auspicious time has arrived."

The noise in the room stopped abruptly.

Jiang opened the box, and Mrs. Gu took out the Ruyi golden hairpin weighing six taels and six coins from the box and inserting it on He Fengping's head.

As if it had suddenly erupted, the room resounded with the admiration of various voices, noisy and lively.

He Fengping's face turned even redder.

Mrs. He smiled and invited the Cheng family to sit in the flower hall.

Cheng Ji said disappointedly: "Is this the end?" ”

"And what are you going to do?" Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but laugh and said, "You have to look at the excitement, come with you when you get married, that's the real excitement!" ”

Cheng Ji knew that it was impossible, sighed in disappointment, and took Zhou Shaojin's arm to the flower hall.

Even if the two families are official relatives, He Fengping's mother treats Jiang and others a little less politely and a little more intimately. She praised Zhou Shaojin and others, and then asked about Cheng Ji's daily life.

Cheng Ji didn't know anything, and answered easily as an ordinary elder.

Zhou Shaojin was thoughtful.

She calculated in her heart that He Fengping was the eldest daughter in the family, and her eldest brother should be only twelve years old at this time, and her younger brother should be nine years old. Then it is impossible to have anything to do with Cheng Ji......

On the way back, she tested Jiang: "The mother of the He family's sister-in-law seems to like Cousin Ji very much." ”

Jiang Shi smiled silently.

Cheng Ji muttered, "Why don't I know? ”

Zhou Shaojin had no choice but to sigh in his heart.

The scope is too wide, and Li Jing can only ask for more blessings!

Halfway through their boat, it was already dark, and Cheng Ji was seasick and had already slept grogily. Zhou Chujin and Zhou Shaojin watched the scenery for a while, but the nervousness before arriving at Pukou and the exhaustion after going down to Xiaoding made her quickly tired.

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "Sister, let's go to the meeting first!" I'll ask Aunt Lu how long it will take to see how long it will take to return? What about today's dinner? ”

The He family kept them for dinner, but they didn't want to spend the night in Pukou, so they insisted on leaving.

She didn't have to worry about this kind of thing, but she wanted to go out to breathe, so she just walked around.

Zhou Chujin was indeed tired, nodded with a smile, and fell asleep with the service of Xiangxiang.

Zhou Shaojin left the cabin and went to the place where Jiang was resting.

Someone spoke in the bow of the ship: "...... It will be about two hours before the return journey, and I have already told the boatmen to hurry up. It depends on whether everyone eats casually for dinner to cushion their stomachs or let the boatman cook a meal. ”

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but walk over.

The one who spoke turned his head.

In the twilight, she saw Cheng Chi's face, quiet and calm, cold and deep.

Zhou Shaojin was stunned.

This is a Cheng Chi she has never seen before.

But in an instant, a shallow smile appeared on that face, his eyes were still cold, but his face was a little more warm, like a spring breeze blowing across the earth, warming the air.

"Second Miss," he said mildly, "what is the matter with you?" ”

The person next to her stared at her with a cold sword.

Only then did Zhou Shaojin find out that it was Qin Zi'an who was talking to Cheng Chi, and there were only two of them in the bow.

She hurriedly explained: "My sister and cousin Ji have rested, I came out to ask when I can get to Jinling?" And then ask what about dinner? ”

Cheng Chi pondered for a moment and said to Qin Zi'an: "There are female dependents on the ship, and the things of the boat's family are usually very rough, so I will find a place to call a table and a banquet halfway through." ”

Qin Zi'an replied "yes" respectfully, retreated, and passed by Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin felt that Qin Zi'an seemed to have something to think of her, so she instinctively turned sideways and gave up the Tao to Qin Zi'an.

Qin Zi'an whispered "Thank you", and then went to the stern.

Cheng Chi smiled and said, "We will arrive at Jinling Mansion in about two hours, do you want to go back to the cabin to rest?" ”

Is Uncle Chi driving himself away?

Zhou Shaojin thought for a while and said, "I just heard Manager Qin say this before I came over...... Does Uncle Chi want to stay alone in the bow for a while? Then I'll go back to the cabin first. ”

Zhou Shaojin has been a human being for the first time in her life, and she is also very surprised that she is not seasick.

Thinking that she would have to sit alone in a daze after returning to the cabin, her expression darkened slightly.

Cheng Chi looked at it and his heart moved. Guessing that the people who came were so tired that they rested, Zhou Shaojin, who was not seasick, didn't even have a companion anymore, so he had to run around energetically.

What a kid!

He laughed, "I'm just out for a walk." I remember that your father used to be an official in Nanchang, have you ever been to see your father? ”

Zhou Shaojin looked ashamed and said in a low voice: "No! ”

"Oh!" Cheng Chi said disapprehantly, "Many people have not been to their father's office, it is too far, the road is not easy to walk, you are too young, it is easy to get sick." ”

Zhou Shaojin never thought about his father's appointment before.

She felt that she and her sister were fine in Jinling.

But this time when she saw her long-lost father, so many things happened, and she vaguely felt that she shouldn't be so estranged from her father. Although her father is an official outside, he also misses her and her sister very much.

Hearing that Cheng Chi was making excuses for her, she was very grateful, and her thoughts flashed, and she said like a ghost: "Does Uncle Chi often go far away?" Will you go to Baoding? If you go to Baoding, can you take me with you along the way? I would love to visit my father! ”

Baoding Mansion is only a few days away from the capital.

She might have a chance to go to the capital.

But when she thought about Cheng Xu in the capital, she suddenly lost the motivation to go to the capital, and became a little unhappy.

Cheng Chi's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Do you really want to go to the capital?" ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded.

She is a little girl to be married in Jinling, and she has never been to any other places except Ganquan Temple. She is the woman who presides over the middle feed in the capital, and she can go anywhere she wants. Compared with Jinling, she is more familiar with the capital.

Cheng Chi smiled: "What are you going to do there?" ”

Zhou Shaojin said: "I just want to go and see!" ”

Her tone was a little stunned, but it was different in Cheng Chi's ears.

Many people want to go to the capital to see it. But Zhou Shaojin's father, Zhou Zhen, was in Baoding.

He didn't mention Baoding but asked directly about the capital, and Zhou Shaojin took the opportunity to say that she wanted to go to the capital to see.

People like places where they feel familiar, either a person or a thing.

Shouldn't she mention Baoding Mansion first and then talk about the capital?

Cheng Chi smiled slightly and said, "Okay! If I go to the capital, I'll take you there along the way! ”

Zhou Shaojin almost jumped up with joy when she heard this, but when she thought of Cheng Xu, her heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the lake, and her eyes became bitter.

"Thank you, Uncle Chi!" She said insincerely, "It's so far, I'm afraid that my grandmother and sister won't be willing to let me go far." ”

Cheng Chi thought for a while and said, "Don't you want to see Jiashan?"

Zhou Shaojin nodded embarrassedly.

Cheng Chi smiled: "I actually don't understand you little girls, Jiashan is willing to be a little low in front of you, why do you still hate him so much?" Did he do something you didn't like? ”
