Zhou Shaojin asked Fan Qi: "Do you want to play everywhere in Jinling City?" ”

"Yes!" Fan Qi didn't know Zhou Shaojin's intentions, and looked at Zhou Shaojin timidly with a pair of eyes, but he still told the truth.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help laughing, and asked Shi Xiang to give him two taels of silver, and said: "If you can go all over Jinling City, I don't care where you know the place, not only will these two taels of silver belong to you, but I will also reward you with another two taels of silver!" ”

Fan Qi didn't dare to answer, touched his head and said, "What does the second miss want me to do?" ”

"You're going to be on an errand with me in the future, you can't let me tell you where you're going to buy things, right?" Zhou Shaojin smiled, "You go and ask Manager Ma, is what I said reasonable?" ”

"I know!" Fan Qi hurriedly said, "Manager Ma said that the owner only needs to give orders, so we should know what to do?" How? Instead of asking the owner where to buy this thing? Where are you going to find that thing? ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled and nodded.

Fan Qi took the silver and ran away.

Shi Xiang smiled: "Miss doesn't need to make up for Mother Fan like this, right?" ”

Zhou Shaojin didn't explain, and said with a smile: "When you find a son-in-law, I will also supplement you like this." ”

"Miss!" Shi Xiang blushed and ran out.

Zhou Shaojin's smile gradually faded, and he sat on the Luohan bed for a long time.

Since there was no need to go to Hanbi Mountain House to copy scriptures, Zhou Shaojin slept well.

When I went to greet my grandmother in the evening, my sister whispered to her: "Uncle Chu has already told Cheng Lu, saying that rumors have spread recently, and it is better for him to hang the family's property in the fifth room." But he begged bitterly, saying that he was going to leave in June, and could he wait until he was out to settle his family's property. Uncle Chu didn't want to force him, and promised to wait until August to talk about it. ”

Zhou Shaojin didn't expect her grandmother and uncle to be resolute and do what they said.

In fact, if there is no change, when Cheng Lu passes the government examination in June, Cheng Lu will be exempted from forced labor, and he will not need the protection of the fourth room, but Uncle Chu warned him like this, at least it shows the attitude of the fourth room, which makes him feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

She was very grateful, and expressed her gratitude tactfully when she saw Mrs. Guan.

Mrs. Guan smiled: "You are all raised by me since I was a child, you are my granddaughter, I don't defend you, who will defend you?" ”

In her previous life, why didn't she look at these things carefully? A lot of opportunities were missed in vain.

Zhou Shaojin thought that he must honor his grandmother's family well in the future.

The next day, she still went to the Hanbi Mountain House to copy the scriptures, but when she went, she happened to meet Mrs. Lin's mother, who came to give Mrs. Guo a return gift.

The door of the Cheng family's room is high, and not everyone can enter and exit at will, not to mention the Hanbi Mountain House where Mrs. Guo lives.

She asked Xiao Tan curiously, "Are the Lin Sectarians familiar with the old lady?" ”

"I don't know." Xiao Tan was very relaxed in front of Zhou Shaojin now, and said with a smile, "I only know that the old lady asked me to send some of the four treasures of the study to the Lin family the day before yesterday, saying that it was for the Lin family's son-in-law." Today, the wife of the Lin sect sent someone to return the salute...... I had never seen the old lady and the Lin family before. ”

In other words, Mrs. Guo was speaking for Cheng Xu in the open hall of Siyi Building on the day she thanked Lin's family!

Zhou Shaojin forgot about this matter in a blink of an eye.

After a few days, every household began to send the Dragon Boat Festival gifts.

Zhou Shaojin paid attention to it, and there was no etiquette that Wu Baozhang gave to their sisters.

It seems that after that incident, there was a difference between the past life and the present life.

This made Zhou Shaojin more confident in the future.

Fan Qi happily came to her: "Second Miss, you test me, see if I can answer?" ”

Zhou Shaojin asked him a few places, and he answered them all fluently.

"In that case, then I'll leave it to you." Zhou Shaojin said with a smile, "Do you know that there is a place called Cunyifang, where the Cheng family's uncle lives." ”

"Yes, yes." Fan Qi hurriedly said, "There is a Fuxian Nunnery there, covering an area of no more than one acre, with a three-wide main hall, facing the official street in the east, south and north, and the garden of Meifu in the west. After speaking, he said, "Do you know Meifu?" It is the Meifu where hundreds of plum trees are planted at home, in fact, their family name is Liu, but because there are a lot of plum blossoms planted at home, the weather is cold, and the whole official street can smell the fragrance of plum blossoms, everyone calls their family 'Meifu', and after a long time, they don't know that the owner's surname is Liu......"

Although Zhou Shaojin had only left after he had been in Jinling City, he had not been out of the door a few times, let alone familiarized himself with the streets and alleys of Jinling City. But Fan Qi's mention of "plum blossoms are fragrant, and the whole street can smell them" She felt a little familiar, and she didn't know when she heard who said it. But she didn't think much about it, but interrupted Fan Qi's words with a smile and said, "Okay, okay." Just say you know. ”

Fan Qi smiled abruptly.

Zhou Shaojin said: "I want you to help me inquire about Uncle Lu's family." ”

Fan Qi's eyes widened.

Zhou Shaojin whispered: "But you can't say anything about this matter, including your mother, can you do it?" ”

"You can't sue my mother!" Fan Qi hesitated.

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "If your mother asks what you are doing?" If you say that I won't let you say it, your mother will definitely not ask you. ”

Fan Qi said: "If my mother doesn't ask me anymore according to what the second lady said, I definitely won't tell my mother." ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled slightly and said, "I know that Uncle Lu's great-grandfather and Wufang are brothers, you can help me inquire, when did Uncle Lu buy the house he lives in now?" How many years have they lived in Cunyifang? Who do you interact with most in your family? What did the neighbors say about Uncle Lu and Mrs. Baida? Have you memorized them all? ”

Children who don't have curiosity?

Fan Qi was very interested, repeated Zhou Shaojin's words, and said, "Second Miss, am I right?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Fan Qi was even more alert than Zhou Shaojin expected, her eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and she rewarded him with two taels of silver, "These are for you to drink tea." If you do a good job, you will be rewarded! ”

"Second Miss, you have already rewarded me!" Fan Qi didn't ask for the two taels of silver, but said embarrassedly, "Second Miss, I, I want to follow Sister Shi Xiang to read and write...... Why don't you just reward me with this? ”

Zhou Shaojin was stunned, then laughed and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Shi Xiang and let her teach you to read." When I recognize all the words that Shi Xiang recognizes, I will tell Uncle Hu or Second Master Yi to ask you to help them hold paper and ink, and go to the clan to listen to those gentlemen's lectures. ”

Fan Qi was so excited that he was about to jump up, and kept thanking Zhou Shaojin, and when he went out, he almost tripped over the threshold, which provoked Shi Xiang, who was serving outside, to cover his mouth and laugh.

Zhou Shaojin's mood also brightened a lot because of this.

She lit the lamp at night to help her sister and herself make summer shirts, and also made a dark green horse-faced skirt for Mrs. Guan.

When the invitation stickers of the flower appreciation and poetry clubs came one after another, Fan Qi came to Zhou Shaojin and replied: "The house of Uncle Rim's family was handed down by the ancestors of Uncle Ran's family, and it was bought by Uncle Ran's great-grandfather when he was separated from Jiuru Lane. Mr. Bai died in the year of Yiyou, that is, in the eighth year of Zhide. I heard from a neighbor that Master Bai lay in bed for almost half a year before he died, and that half a year seemed to be a different person, not to mention his temper, and scolded the maid for kicking the little girl, and almost made a homicide. Or because of this, after the death of Mr. Bai, Mrs. Bai felt that her face was dull, and she did not walk around with her neighbors, except for going back to her parents' house, she went to Jiuru Lane to visit the door, the door was very strict, and the neighbors all felt that Mrs. Bai was loyal and polite, and she was a virtuous person.

"As for Uncle Lu, he has been studying since he was a child, and he reads at home on weekdays in addition to going to classes in the clan study, that is, he goes out and walks around, and he also follows the classmates in the clan study or the uncles of the Cheng family. The people in Cunyifang all say that Uncle Zhen is the material for reading, and maybe he can win the top prize. Everyone was very envious of Mrs. Bai Da, saying that she was a blessed person. ”

After speaking, he was still unsatisfied, swallowed his saliva and said: "I heard that Uncle Lu's family used to have only more than 120 acres of paddy fields, and two shops, both of which were rented to others and ate the rent by himself. It was still in the hands of Mr. Bai, who did not continue to work after being admitted to Xiucai, and began to sell goods from the south to the north, and the family prospered. Not only did he add a grange of more than 200 acres in Pukou, but he also set up six storefronts in Guanjie, two of which were rented to others, two were engaged in lacquerware business, and two were silk shops, all of which were managed by the shopkeeper who had left behind by the old man Bai during his lifetime, and the harvest of only a few shops every year was more than 1,000 taels......

Zhou Shaojin thought about it.

When her biological mother Zhuang died, her maternal great-grandmother and maternal grandfather had passed away, and the Zhuang's calligraphy, paintings, calligraphy, calligraphy, gold and stones, and some cash and silver were left to her biological mother, and the real estate and land were left to the cheap uncle who came out of five clothes. At that time, my father Zhou Zhen did not have the title of the gold list, and after the death of his biological mother, his cheap uncle once came to the door to ask for her biological mother's dowry, and his father did not want to ruin his mother's reputation because of this, so he took out two thousand taels of silver and set up a note in the official office, which was considered to be the end of the matter with her cheap uncle.

But her uncle wasn't a good one.

Just two years ago, when the sum of her previous life and present life should have been seventeen years ago, her aunt found her by thinking of a way, saying that her uncle had gambled and lost all the family business passed down from her ancestors...... What a good place it is, the fragrance of plum blossoms fills the streets in winter, and I don't know how many scholars want to buy a house there. If the second miss doesn't care about it anymore, the things left by these ancestors that can't be bought with money will be sold cheaply, and the second miss will take a few hundred taels of silver out to help your uncle......

She has been sluggish since she was a child, and she doesn't know anything about her grandfather's family, let alone any feelings for what the dealer left behind. She only felt embarrassed at that time, she had fallen into this position, and even she had to coax her niece under the fence to coax her, and she was neither willing nor knew what to do, so she handed over all the things to her sister......
