Song Mu greeted Zhou Shaojin across a bluestone corridor paved with money patterns: "When did you arrive in the capital?" I heard that you have a sister who married into the Liao family in Zhenjiang, when will your nephew be a full moon? Daxiangguo Temple has a temple fair on the first and fifteenth days of the new year every month, has Miss Zhou ever been there? ”

How could Song Gongzi be so familiar with her?

Zhou Shaojin secretly wondered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and answered them one by one generously.

Song Mu saw that Zhou Shaojin's expression was gentle, and there was no displeasure at all, he was greatly relieved, but his ears burned red without anger, and continued: "There are actually many interesting places in the capital. In addition to Daxiangguo Temple and Baiyun Temple, Shichahai is also very fun, you can play ice in winter, and you can row a boat in summer. There is also a place called Goldfish Lane in the south of the city, which specializes in fish and birds. There is also a place called Fengtai, which sells flowers and plants, and it is said that the flowers and plants in the palace are bought there. Especially in winter, they can raise flowers that bloom in spring and summer, and every family has to move a few pots for the New Year, and the business is so good that they can't walk in a carriage......

These were all known to Zhou Shaojin.

But out of respect for Song Mu, she still sat there with a smile and listened.

This not only made Song Mu feel that Zhou Shaojin was very virtuous and quiet, and liked this marriage very much, but also gave him a lot of courage and encouragement, he paused slightly, and said: "Second Miss, I have a younger sister, because I am not engaged, although I have fallen in love with a family affair, I have never been engaged. My mother was going to take her to Daxiangguo Temple to worship incense in two or three days. I heard that the second lady is very sincere in worshiping the Buddha, so it is better to let my mother, my mother, and my sister go to Daxiangguo Temple to have a look. Daxiangguo Temple is the royal temple of the previous dynasty, now it is also quite pushy, last year in the month of Layue also went to Daxiangsi to worship incense, the incense is very prosperous, there are many small things to sell outside the temple. Every time my sister and my mother went we would come back with a whole bunch of stuff......"

The more Zhou Shaojin listened, he felt that something was wrong.

Song Mu ...... This meant that he would ask her out on behalf of his mother...... But how could he, a humble gentleman, do such a thing?

She looked at Song Mu.

Song Mu's eyes were upright, but they were a little shy and staring.

Zhou Shaojin's heart jumped, and a bold idea suddenly appeared in her mind.

Jiuru Lane Changfang has always had a rule for marrying a daughter...... Could it be, did she meet it too?

But why didn't my sister explain it to her?

She looked at Song Mu's broad clothes, the seal of Buddhism on all sides of Shoushan Stone hanging around her waist, and the purse carved step by step, and suddenly realized that Song Mu was also a child of a high-ranking family...... And her family is just a four-grade prefect...... So let's look at each other first...... Otherwise, the family matter is decided, and it will never be reversed...... Uncle Chi must have been afraid that she would be dissatisfied...... That's why it's arranged this way......

Zhou Shaojin's hands and feet were cold for a while, and it took a while to come back to his senses.

She stood up in a hurry, acting a little rudely, and almost knocked over the tea cup on the coffee table next to her.

Song Mu, who was about to speak, didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly stood up.

Zhou Shaojin's face was a little pale, he took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, and said to Song Mu with a smile: "Song Gongzi, I, I think of something, you sit here first, and I will come over immediately." ”

Song Mu was suspicious in his heart, but it was not easy to ask about the girl's family, so he smiled and bowed.

Zhou Shaojin was blessed, and hurriedly walked out of the courtyard with the Spring Festival Gala, holding the laurel tree in front of the weeping flower gate, and no longer had the strength to move a step.

The Spring Festival Gala was in a hurry, and said in a low voice: "Second Miss, what's wrong with you?" Is it where it does not serve? Your face is so pale......"

"I'm fine." After a long time, Zhou Shaojin said, "I just thought of something." ”

Her voice was hoarse, as if she was about to cry.

The Spring Festival Gala hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

Zhou Shaojin's mood slowly calmed down.

It is imperative to figure out what is happening at hand...... And if you want to figure out what the situation is in front of you, the letter that my sister asked her to send becomes the key...... But how do you know what my sister wrote in the letter?

Zhou Shaojin bit his lip and instructed the Spring Festival Gala: "You go and quietly invite Lang Yue to come over, I have something urgent!" ”

The Spring Festival Gala didn't dare to delay, and hurried to find someone.

Fortunately, this house is not big, and after a while, Lang Yue hurriedly followed the Spring Festival Gala.

Zhou Shaojin begged him: "My sister asked me to bring a letter to Uncle Chi, which contained a string of Buddhist beads," she said, taking off the Buddhist beads wrapped around her wrist, "I forgot to put it back after reading it, you can quietly help me put it back." ”

Lang Yue responded with a smile, and comforted her: "It doesn't matter, the fourth master won't be angry even if he knows." ”

There are a lot of things that others can't do, and Miss Second Watch can do it in front of the fourth master, but she quietly read the letter from Miss Second Cousin's sister to the fourth master, and even if the fourth master knows it, even if he is angry, Miss Second Cousin's gag will pass.

Zhou Shaojin nodded absentmindedly and told Lang Yue about the appearance of the letter.

Seeing that she was very worried, Lang Yue didn't dare to delay, so she took a tea tray and went to the study.

Cheng Chi was talking to Mrs. Song: "...... I appreciate the kindness of the elder Ge. As you said, we are not doing this for the sake of fame, let alone being in the limelight? If the imperial court intends to dredge the Yellow River, give me a few sections of river work to do it seriously, and forget about the river management! I can't bear this annoyance, nor can I bear this suffering. Your old man has done something bad with good intentions this time. ”

Mrs. Song persuaded him bitterly: "You can't wander like this for a lifetime, right?" People live in things, they don't want to leave a name in history, and they also want to do something that is beneficial to the country's society and the people, right? I don't know how your house is arranged, and I feel sorry for you like this. I'm also going to go to Jinling in person after I'm done with this matter, meet the old lady, and talk about your business in a good way......"

Cheng Chi suddenly found that he had moved a stone and smashed his foot, so naturally he didn't notice that Lang Yue's eyes were rolling for a long time, and his eyes finally fell on the letter that he casually threw in the paper basket, and then took advantage of his inattention to pick up the letter and looked at it, put it in the paper basket again, pretended to be calm and walked out, and ran towards the weeping flower door.

Zhou Shaojin saw him refreshed.

Lang Yue gasped and returned the Buddha beads to Zhou Shaojin in a bit of a panic, and stumbled: "Second Cousin, the letter you said is in, in the paper basket...... Haven't dismantled ...... yet I don't dare put anything in there......"

He didn't know what Miss Second Watch wanted him to do.

can let him take things from the fourth old man's house, but he will never dare.

Zhou Shaojin was stunned and said, "The letter has not been opened? Lost in a paper basket? No way! Could you be mistaken? ”

Lang Yue was also a little strange, and said, "I shouldn't be mistaken!" It is clearly written 'Uncle Initiation', the handwriting is beautiful, and it looks like a woman's handwriting. I also touched it, and it was thin and crumpled up...... It doesn't look like there's something in it......"

Didn't write anything in that letter?

This is just an excuse for my sister to send her to Uncle Chi as she agreed!

Zhou Shaojin's body was weak, if it weren't for the Spring Festival Gala to support her quickly, she was afraid of making a fool of herself.

Seeing that she didn't look like a fake, Lang Yue whispered, "Second Cousin, could you have misremembered me...... The letter that Mrs. Liao wrote to the fourth master was not like that......"

Zhou Shaojin said bitterly: "Then have you ever seen the second letter with beautiful handwriting?" ”

"No, no." Lang Yue touched her head in embarrassment.

Zhou Shaojin said: "It's okay, you go and get busy with you first!" I'll go and tell Uncle Chi in person. ”

Lang Yue nodded, and walked back in three steps.

It took Zhou Shaojin a long time to settle down.

The Spring Festival Gala said worriedly: "You, are you okay?" Is something wrong? ”

She knew that Zhou Shaojin had never opened the letter from beginning to end.

Zhou Shaojin shook his head, thought about it, and told the Spring Festival Gala of his guess.

The Spring Festival Gala was overjoyed when she heard it, and she only regretted that she didn't look at Song Mu carefully just now: "Auntie and grandma are really, why do you want to explain it to you." Such a good family business, are you afraid that you don't want to do it? If I had known that the second miss was here to see others, I should have dressed up the second lady well...... I'm not saying you're not dressed well right now...... Our second lady is naturally beautiful, and even if she wears an old dress, she is more eye-catching than those women who are carefully groomed...... I mean, if you dress up well, you will definitely make that Song Gongzi never forget it after seeing it...... Ouch, that's a good thing! She was so anxious, "The fourth master doesn't have a female dependent, but if he wants to borrow something, there is nowhere to borrow, I rushed back at this time to bring some incense powder jewelry and I don't know if I will have time to ......"

Such a festive scene, but Zhou Shaojin couldn't laugh.

She said, "Do you think this family business is very good?" ”

"Of course!" Only then did the Spring Festival Gala notice Zhou Shaojin's affection, she smiled slightly, and said with a straight face, "Isn't the second miss dissatisfied?" Then Song Gongzi is Mrs. Song's stepson, right? Then he is also Gecai's son, but I don't know if he has fame, but this birth is no worse than Uncle Xu...... People are also good-looking. Isn't Mrs. Yuan wholeheartedly going to marry the eldest lady of the Min family as her daughter-in-law? Our second lady is no worse than the eldest lady of the Min family, and she will marry into the old house of the pavilion to be a daughter-in-law......"

Zhou Shaojin suddenly felt that the Spring Festival Gala was a little noisy, and interrupted her words with some displeasure: "What kind of daughter-in-law does Cheng Xu marry? Why should I compare with him! ”

The Spring Festival Gala hurriedly shut up.

Zhou Shaojin stood under the osmanthus tree for a long time, and then said to the Spring Festival Gala: "Let's go in!" Uncle Chi asked me to help entertain Song Gongzi, we can't leave Song Gongzi there. ”

Hearing this, the Spring Festival Gala's eyebrows fluttered again, and he said busily: "Exactly, exactly." After all, Song Gongzi was a guest, and it would be too rude to leave him there like this. ”

Zhou Shaojin was noncommittal and walked in slowly.

Song Mu picked up the teacup and put it down again.

There was no tea in the teacup for a long time, but no one came to refill the cup.

I don't know where the second miss of the Zhou family went? I haven't shown up for such a long time, is it because I am dissatisfied with myself? But Miss Zhou Jiaer looks like a very well-cultivated lady, even if she is dissatisfied with him, it is impossible to leave him here like this...... It seems that he is more satisfied with this family business than he expected, otherwise how can he suffer from gains and losses?
