Chapter 4: Sister

Zhou Shaojin only glanced at it and knew that the so-called "soup" was actually rune water.

She looked at her sister.

Zhou Chujin's face was full of ardent expectation, but that expectation fell in Zhou Shaojin's eyes, but it made her suddenly feel a little sad. She pretended not to know anything, picked up the soup bowl, and drank it all.

Zhou Chujin looked at it with a smile blooming.

Zhou Shaojin was slightly stunned.

It was the first time she had seen her sister smile so brightly.

If this can make my sister happy, why wouldn't she do it?

Zhou Shaojin smiled and handed the bowl to Zhixiang.

Zhou Chujin took his sister's hand and said with some courtesy: "Let's sleep together today, right?" ”

Since Zhou Shaojin was "sick", she has been with Zhou Shaojin almost every night. Later, Zhou Shaojin became suspicious of her situation and made an excuse, so the two sisters slept separately.

Zhou Shaojin smiled and nodded.

They freshened up and went to bed.

Zhou Shaojin pulled the quilt to her shoulders in a regular manner, but Zhou Chujin leaned on the big pillow at the head of the bed and talked to her: "I heard that you slept all day today?" It's not good, you have to eat something, it's been a long time, be careful of getting sick from hunger. You're already weak, and you can't afford to toss like this. He added, "Do you want to let Ma Fushan's family buy a few books to relieve boredom?" I heard that Ma Xie Yuan has released a new poetry collection, and people in Jiangnan are vying to buy it, so it should be pretty good. ”

"No need." Zhou Shaojin was originally quiet and silent, she liked to be quiet and didn't like to move, sometimes she stayed in the house all day and didn't go out, she didn't think there was anything bad about this, "I will sleep in the house, talk to Shi Xiang and them, and the day will pass." ”

Zhou Chujin didn't think so.

My sister is simple and straightforward, and she likes to tell sΓΉ herself about everything, including Cheng Lun sent a little girl to quietly send something to her after she said it a few times, every time Cheng Ran sent something to her, she still told sΓΉ herself, not to mention that she made her "sick" these days, burned yellow watches in her yard, and let her drink Fu water, she is not stupid, it is impossible not to notice, and it is impossible that there is no trace of mustard in her heart, but she has not said anything from beginning to end, which has never happened.

Zhou Chujin couldn't help but sit up straight, stared at Zhou Shaojin's eyes and said, "Are you hiding something from me?" ”

Zhou Shaojin can be said to have been brought up by her sister since she was a child, she is most afraid of making her sister sad, and secondly, she is afraid of her sister's straight face. Although it is not like before, she still feels a little uncomfortable when she thinks that her sister used to be good to her and is stared at like this by her sister.

"Nope." She said briefly, "I don't have anything to hide from my sister. ”

But the more she was like this, the more suspicious Zhou Chujin became.

She couldn't help but look dark, and said in a low voice: "Shaojin, my mother is gone, and my father is not by our side, so we sisters should support each other." You can't hide something from me. After thinking about it, he said, "You see that you accidentally broke Master Wu's piano last time, and as soon as you came back, you sued your sister, and my sister thought of a way in advance, not only found Zhang and Master Wu's similar piano to pay Master Wu, but also took you to take the initiative to compensate Master Wu in the situation that Master Wu didn't find out, Master Wu not only didn't blame you, but also praised you for being generous and gentlemanly, looking at you differently, and always pointing out your piano skills alone, your current piano is better than your cousin...... Have you forgotten? ”

How could Zhou Shaojin forget jì.

For this matter, Cheng Ji's mother Jiang also privately complained that the martial master who taught them to play the piano was biased.

And after this incident, she was not only praised by Master Wu, but also praised by her grandmother and aunt, uncle, and cousins, and her grandmother also gave her a piece of flawless mutton fat jade and jade pendant, and her aunt gave her a pair of beaded flowers, and her uncle and cousins sent pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

This is the first time she has received so much praise when she is so old, and it is also the first time she has won against Cheng Ji.

But what she wants to do really can't tell her sister!

What can I do?

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but get anxious, shouted "sister", and said, "I really don't have anything to hide from you." ”

"Really?!" Zhou Chujin didn't believe it, stared at Zhou Shaojin with a pair of black and white eyes, and looked at Zhou Shaojin quietly.

Zhou Shaojin thought of her sister's seemingly gentle but unyielding temperament, and suddenly felt that her scalp was a little numb, and the corners of her mouth were closed for a long time, so she had to pinch her head and tail, and said that it didn't matter: "I heard that there have been guests coming over my grandmother's side in the past two days, and I want to know who is coming to visit my grandmother?" I'm sick now, and I don't know if my sister won't be able to go to see guests anymore? ”

Zhou Chujin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you worried about this?" As she spoke, she couldn't help but touch Zhou Shaojin's head, "If you can think of coming to see your grandmother, nine times out of ten you have a request for the long room and the second room, and you don't see it." I'm just at home with you. ”

That's true.

Maternal grandmother self-esteem and self-improvement, widowhood pulled up three children, and parenting meritorious, the eldest son is a lifter, the second son is the same Jinshi, the ancestor of the second room of the Cheng family, the eldest master of the long room is very respectful to her, some people ask for a long room, the second room can not get started, so they ask to come to the grandmother instead. Fortunately, my grandmother is an understanding person, so I don't want to take advantage of this stubble.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere between the two sisters was like the ice melting, and there was a bit of warmth.

Zhou Chujin continued the topic just now: "Don't worry. No matter who comes, my grandmother will let us meet us, and she will tell us in advance, and if she thinks it is not suitable, she will naturally not let us come out to meet us. We listened to my grandmother. ”

My sister's words were like a slap in the face, which made Zhou Shaojin empowered.

She has been restless and anxious for the past few days, just as her sister said, because she has lost her normal heart.

Even if she really relived her life, there were still thirteen years before the Cheng family was raided and wiped out, and she didn't have to be so eager to verify. If she just had a nightmare and woke up from the dream, it would naturally be fine, and she wouldn't have to be in such a hurry to get angry.

She couldn't help hugging her sister's arm tightly and said, "Thank you, sister!" I know. ”

The voice, as sincere as if he was redeeming himself, made Zhou Chujin feel faintly uneasy, and wanted to ask carefully, Zhou Shaojin had already said: "I heard that the eldest lady of the prefect Wu's family has a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, and I don't know if it's true or not?" The ancestor has his 80th birthday, so the prefect of Wu should also come to pay homage to his birthday, right? I wonder if Mrs. Wu will bring the eldest lady of the Wu family to pay homage to her birthday? ”

After all, Zhou Chujin is only eighteen years old, raised in a deep boudoir house, and has not yet been shrewd and sharp in later generations. Hearing this, she only thought that her sister was very vivid, and said with a smile: "I'll ask my eldest aunt when the time comes." If Mrs. Wu brings the eldest lady of the Wu family to pay her respects, I will definitely point it out to you. ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded.

In her memory, when it came to the birthday day, Wu Baozhang was arranged to sit with her sister......

The big stone in her heart finally fell, she was relieved, and after chatting with her sister for a few more words, she was sleepy-eyed and couldn't support it.

"Sleep!" Zhou Chujin smiled, turned around and blew out the candle.

Zhou Shaojin soon fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, she suddenly woke up, stretched out her hand, but there was no one beside her.

Zhou Shaojin was shocked into a cold sweat.

She saw the light shining under the curtain in the ear room next to her, thought for a moment, and walked over with her shoes on.

Zhou Chujin knelt in front of Zhuang Liangyu's portrait and was muttering to his stepmother: "...... Mother, I'm so scared...... You can bless Shaojin...... Safe and sound...... I'm willing to live for 10 years......"

Zhou Shaojin's tears flowed out at once.

She folded back lightly, pulled the covers over her head, and closed her eyes.

β€»

The next day, the sun was shining.

When Zhou Shaojin woke up, Zhou Chujin had already gone to say goodbye to her grandmother.

Shi Xiang said: "The eldest lady left a message that she would serve the old lady with breakfast, so you don't have to wait for her." ”

Zhou Shaojin said "Huh".

Grandmothers are not the kind of people who like to let the younger generation set rules, whether it is sons and daughters-in-law, grandchildren or granddaughters, they all eat in their own houses. Therefore, they have their own kitchens in each courtyard, but the expenses at home are not more than those in other houses.

Maybe my sister has something to say to her grandmother?

Zhou Shaojin groomed in the mirror, picked out a gown with dark patterns of passionfruit, changed into a white Hangzhou silk skirt, and used half a bowl of porridge and two rice cakes with spring bamboo shoots, cress and other side dishes that had just been on the market, and then put down the chopsticks and cleaned his hands.

Shi Xiang looked very happy. While instructing the little maids to clean up the table, he said affectionately: "Second Miss, I heard that there are already plums and apricots sold in the market, do you want to buy some and come back to try something new?" ”

Zhou Shaojin knew that she was "sick", and the days of serving around them were not easy, she was thinking of a way to coax herself to eat, and pointed to the small box with a black bottom of eight treasures placed at the head of the bed with a smile, and said, "Go and get two taels of silver yourself." ”

Shi Xiang bent her knees with a smile, and a little maid came in and said, "Second Miss, Songqing from the side of Young Master Lu came over, saying that Young Master Lu heard that you were suffering from the wind cold, and specially asked him to send you the Fengtong Holy Pill over." ”

Cheng Lu?

Zhou Shaojin's smile froze on his face.

She doesn't remember how kind he was to her, but she will never forget his hideous face.

She was silent for a long time, and then said, "Bring the things in." ”

Shi Xiang smiled, whispered "yes", and took something in.

In addition to the box containing the pills, there is also a colorful butterfly kite.

Zhou Shaojin gently stroked the wings of the butterfly kite and said, "Shi Xiang, you ask Songqing to help me bring a message to Young Master Yuan." Said I thanked him for the things, and this time I accepted them, and asked him not to send them again in the future. After I got well, in addition to continuing to read "The Female Commandment" and "The Legend of the Martyr" with Aunt Shen, I also had to follow Niangzi to learn from the girl, I am afraid that I will not have time to play. ”

In other words, the second lady is going to draw a line with the young master!

Shi Xiang was surprised, but also relieved.

The old man is already the prefect of the fourth grade, everyone says that the old man will be promoted in the future, the second lady is still young, and she is not in a hurry to get married, so why bother with the young master. Like the eldest lady, she married the son of the Liao family, and she will be the wife of the Liao family in the future. Although the second lady is not as prominent as the eldest lady, it may not be impossible to choose a better family than the young master!

She happily answered "yes" and went out to spread the word.

Zhou Shaojin looked at it but was stunned.

She didn't expect Shi Xiang that they were not optimistic about Cheng Chen...... She also thought that everyone would be happy to see her and Cheng Lu together...... It turned out that she was the only one who was treating Cheng Lu as a treasure......

Zhou Shaojin smiled bitterly, and his mood suddenly became depressed.
