Chapter 572: Boss
Cheng Chi disagreed: "Ji Ying is the daughter-in-law that Ziping begged for, and the relationship is naturally good." Speaking of this, he paused slightly and hesitated, "There is something...... Senior Brother Qin wrote a letter to me a few days ago, saying that if Nanping agreed, he wanted her to marry Qin Zi'an, and Zi'an also came to me for this matter, but Nanping was there...... I don't want to ask too much - she has served since she was a child, and if I let her marry, she will definitely marry. But does she like Zi'an or not...... Zining has been gone for so many years, and I sometimes think of him...... Now that he's gone, I can't even be at peace with his people, can I?
"I've thought about it, but I can ask you to help me come forward and ask her what she means.
"If she doesn't want to, I can't force it. If she wants, I'll marry her off with red makeup......"
Zhou Shaojin felt that he understood Nanping a little.
Over the years, she has been like a widowed little daughter-in-law, easily not going anywhere, preferring to live forever in the old days.
Wasn't she like this in her previous life?
But when I really came out, I realized that there was still a good scenery outside.
Just like her, if she wasn't as timid and cowardly as in her previous life, how could she know Cheng Chi and marry Cheng Chi?
"I'll ask her." Zhou Shaojin took the errand without hesitation.
Cheng Chi smiled and kissed her forehead.
His little girl also began to slowly help her solve problems.
"In a few days, Gu Jiuzhen may come to the capital." He said to her softly, "Huang Li recommended him to be appointed as the middle of the criminal department. ”
Zhou Shaojin was surprised: "Huang Li, the Huang Li who is at odds with the uncle?" ”
Isn't the Gu family and the Cheng family a good family?
She said puzzledly: "Since there is this vacancy coming out." Why doesn't Uncle recommend Gu Liuye? ”
Cheng Chi's expression was a little cold, the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally he took a sip, and said: "He always feels that his relatives are not careful, and if there is anything to ask him for, he always thinks about other people's homes first, and then thinks about his own family, for fear that some stigma will fall on him." didn't know that he was just a gesture, but he was living and dying in other people's homes. The recovery of the ninth old lady of the Gu family is of course important, but for the other rooms of the Gu family. Gu Jiuzhen's future is more important. I didn't warn him at the beginning. Since he has already taken care of the affairs of the nine old ladies of the Gu family, why not help Gu Jiuzhen find a future. But he was kind to me, and he looked around and said that he couldn't find a suitable one. I originally wanted to say it in front of Old Song Ge, who knew that Old Lady Song had passed away...... It's just this half a month's work. Jiuzhen's teacher introduced him to Huang Li. He told Huang Li about his relationship with our family. Huang Li said it was okay. It's hard to refuse even if you refuse...... Didn't you say that in your previous life, Huang Li entered the cabinet before the eldest brother? Now it seems. I just helped him defeat Huang Li, and let the eldest brother enter the cabinet before Huang Li, but to no avail. Huang Li is a person. Whether it is the heart or the means, it is above the big brother...... If the eldest brother continues to be confused like this, I don't know what will happen! ”
Most importantly, he had a seed of doubt in his heart.
In the previous life, if the second uncle died normally, why didn't the Cheng family mourn wantonly? Why is there no royal recognition? If the second uncle's death is abnormal, what is Cheng Jing doing?
Cheng Chi walked around the house twice with his hands behind his back and a little irritably.
Few things can expose his emotions like this.
It was as if something angry he couldn't suppress for a while.
Zhou Shaojin hugged Cheng Chi distressedly and gently stroked his back comfortingly.
With the gentle jade in his arms, Cheng Chi's emotions slowly calmed down.
He touched Zhou Shaojin's hair and said in a low voice, "I'm fine...... It's just a little irritating for a while. ”
"I know." Zhou Shaojin snuggled into his arms.
He always likes to take things to heart.
It's just that there are big things in his heart.
For example, the Cheng family's full house?
Another example is that if things come to that point, the safety of her, Mrs. Guo, the children, and the Cheng family......
Thinking of this, Zhou Shaojin regretted a little that he told Cheng Chi about his previous life.
She said to Cheng Chi: "I did half of the homework you assigned to me last time, do you want to take a look?" ”
Cheng Chi painted twelve one-foot-square paintings of flowers and birds, and asked Zhou Shaojin to frame them so that they could be given away when the time came.
Zhou Shaojin has to help Mrs. Guo deal with the trivial matters at home in the morning, sometimes she has to play with Brother Yun in the afternoon, and Cheng Chi comes back in the evening, she has to serve him to change clothes, to serve him for dinner, if he is in the study, she also has to serve his pen and ink, and the two talk about it in the evening, and the day will pass quickly. If you are in a good mood when you meet Cheng Chi...... Usually in the middle of the night, she has to go to greet Mrs. Guo, dare not sleep lazy, the next day at noon to make up for sleep, these twelve paintings are Cheng Chi New Year's Day at home painting, now almost half a year, she has only intermittently framed six.
It's not that Cheng Chi is in a bad mood, and she won't take it out to show her ugliness.
Find something to divert Cheng Chi's attention, and his mood will gradually improve.
She used to be like that.
Cheng Chi was really interested, and said, "Let's go, go to the study and have a look." ”
Zhou Shaojin happily went to her own study with Cheng Chi.
It is said that it is a study, but it is actually the ear room at the west end of the main house, because it is only used by Zhou Shaojin alone, in addition to the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, book and picture scroll, there is a three-foot square flower shelf in the corner of the wall, and there are all kinds of embroidery threads and good ties hanging on the hanger next to it, and the window sill is placed with a sweet white porcelain plain flower, and a red and gorgeous pomegranate flower is inserted.
Cheng Chi liked it very much.
Especially when I saw a drunken chair in the corner of the wall with an embroidered mattress covered with gold.
He can even imagine when he is not at home, Zhou Shaojin is idle and has nothing to do in the drunkard chair to read idle books.
Cheng Chi couldn't help but lean over and kiss Zhou Shaojin's forehead again.
Zhou Shaojin saw that his gaze swept over the drunkard's chair and kissed her again, and blushed slightly uncomfortably.
Last time, Cheng Chi put her legs on the Taishi chair and asked her...... That posture made her uncomfortable...... It's out of line again.
She didn't know when she burned him...... He must not be like last time......
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly led him to the big bookcase and pulled out his framed picture scroll to show him.
Cheng Chi saw that several paintings were framed quite wide and natural. As if I was born on it, I couldn't help but be surprised.
Some people can't do this kind of craft for more than ten or twenty years.
If you learn your craft in the master's hand, you can already become a teacher.
He pondered for a moment and said, "What kind of paper do you use to draw hearts?" ”
Zhou Shaojin thought that he had framed it well, and said nervously when he heard this: "What? Isn't it possible? ”
"No, no." Cheng Chi saw her fingers move, and immediately hugged her in his arms, and said with a smile, "It's very well framed!" You can all be out of the school. In time. The ancient books at home can be handed over to you. ”
Zhou Shaojin breathed a sigh of relief. A little pride inexplicably rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud between his eyebrows, and said: "I don't dare to frame your painting directly, so I took out the patterns I painted before and framed them." But one way or another. The painting is always a little wrinkled. It's either here or there, it can't be level, and I've thought of a lot of ways. Finally, I thought that my father gave me Chengxin paper, which was harder than other papers, so I took that one to make a painting heart...... Isn't it great? She raised her head and looked at Cheng Chi, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and her expression revealed an expectation that could not be misunderstood.
The corners of Cheng Chi's mouth twitched slightly.
Chengxin paper...... There is no price in the market...... More expensive than gold...... Use a piece of Chengxin paper that is one less piece...... I made a picture heart...... I don't know if my father-in-law, his old man, will come from Baoding Mansion to teach his little girl a lesson...... If the old scholars of the Hanlin Academy knew about it, I don't know if they would beat their chests......
But when his eyes collided with Zhou Shaojin, he felt that it was not a big deal.
You don't just use things.
What is the difference between writing and framing?
"It's very good!" Cheng Chi praised her with a smile and said, "How did you come up with this method?" ”
Zhou Shaojin suddenly burst into joy.
I feel that all the meditation and hard work of those days have paid off.
"I'm thinking about embroidery," she said with a spring breeze on her face, "if you want to embroider well, the material must be tight, and the thicker the paper, the better." When it comes to thickness, all I know is Chengxin paper......"
Cheng Chi said: "When you have framed all the paintings, we will send them to each family as a gift." ”
Let them also look at Shao Jin's strengths, lest they always feel as if Shao Jin married him how wronged he was.
Zhou Shaojin smiled and nodded.
Cheng Chi's calligraphy and painting are well-known in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also an elegant thing to send Cheng Chi's calligraphy and painting when someone needs to celebrate among relatives.
"Then you write a few more words." Zhou Shaojin asked, "The sixth day of the first month of next month is Daddy's birthday, you write, I will frame it, and give it to Daddy as a birthday gift when the time comes." ”
Daddy definitely loved it.
"Okay!" Cheng Chi thought it was a good idea.
Zhou Shaojin touched the ink, Cheng Chi wrote, and wrote for two hours before picking out the word "Shoubi Nanshan".
Cheng Chi said: "Wouldn't it be too simple?" Why don't you write a poem or something? ”
"No need." Zhou Shaojin thought that Cheng Chi was so busy, if he wrote a few more words, it would take at least seven or eight days of effort, "I'll send these four words this time, next time we will prepare early and draw a portrait of Fu Lushou's three Weng for Daddy." ”
The two discussed the birthday gift they would give to Zhou Zhen again, and when they heard the second watch knock outside, Zhou Shaojin shamefully urged Cheng Chi to go and rest: "I have to go to the yamen tomorrow!" ”
"It doesn't matter." Cheng Chi said with a smile, "You don't have to go to the early court." ”
He is not yet qualified to go to the early dynasty.
But the two still freshened up and went to bed together.
Zhou Shaojin thought of Gu Jiuzhen.
In his previous life, Gu Jiuzhen didn't help the Cheng family, could it have something to do with Huang Li who recommended him as an official?
She told Cheng Chi about her worries.
Cheng Chi said with a smile: "If the eldest brother didn't press on Huang Li's head, Huang Li might still have to compete with the eldest brother." But the eldest brother was one step ahead of Huang Li when everything was beneficial to Huang Li, and it stands to reason that Huang Li should look down on the eldest brother. If this is the case, he may not want to fight with his eldest brother, most of them because he has taken a fancy to Jiuzhen's talented character. But what exactly it is, we won't know until Jiuzhen arrives in the capital. Then he comforted her and said, "Aren't I the old Song Ge person in the eyes of others?" Don't think about it, go to sleep! With Jiying's temperament, I will definitely come over every day to teach Brother Yun how to drink water these days, and when you are busy......"
