Chapter Ninety-Four: Return Gift
There was a bit of chaos in the pavilion, there were piles of wood everywhere, and Cheng Chi was wearing a blue lotus-colored fine kudzu preaching robe, and he was chiseling the piano groove with a cold chisel.
The scent of sandalwood floats in the air.
Nanping curtsied and said respectfully: "Fourth master, the second miss of the Zhou family in the fourth room came over just now and left you a letter." â
"Put it there!" Cheng Chi looked cold, carefully looked at the body in his hand that was beginning to take shape for a moment, and cautiously chiseled a few more knives.
"Yes!" Nanping responded respectfully and retreated lightly.
There was a gentle chiseling sound in the pavilion, one after another, neither fast nor slow, neither high nor low, each sound did not have any change, as if repeating the previous sound, when I began to listen to it, I only felt monotonous, and after a long time, it was like the chirping of cicadas in summer, which made people feel irritated, and after listening to a few more sounds, I hated to run forward and shout, so that the sound stopped.
Huai Shan's brows tightened, his expression became more and more cold, and just when he was about to take it anymore, the pavilion suddenly fell silent.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Cheng Chizheng was holding the body of the piano and looking left and right, for a while, he frowned with some annoyance, put down the body of the piano in his hand, muttered "failed again", and then threw the chisel knife on the long case on the side.
His gaze swept over the letter on the long case.
The envelope is a gold-sprinkled paper from Koyama Cong Keiin.
He remembered what Nanping had just said and tore up the envelope.
Astonished, surprised, skeptical...... His eyes widened and he read the letter from cover to cover.
It's still those words, it's still the same content...... Cheng Chi couldn't help but laugh.
She sued herself naked, naked, and naked like this, and she didn't understand!
How many years has no one spoken like this in front of themselves?
How many years has no one been so straightforward in front of themselves?
He laughed.
Huaishan probed, saw that Cheng Chi just laughed with the letter sent by Nanping, and then shrank back expressionlessly.
Cheng Chi put the letter on the long case.
The wind blew in, and the letterhead rattled, as if riding the wind away.
Cheng Chi casually took a piece of wood and pressed it, called Nanping in, and said, "If you go to Wanxiangju again, just tell Miss Zhou Jiaer that you might as well send someone to give Miss Azhu a return gift in person." Then tell her that Zhu Pengju had been married five years ago, but in the second year of marriage, his wife had a miscarriage and injured her body, and after that, the medicine stone was ineffective and she has been bedridden, because of this, she has not been sealed. In March this year, the imperial doctor from the capital had already stated that she would not live this winter. The Liangguo Mansion had already prepared a coffin for her. â
Nanping was shocked.
Fourth master, haven't you always cared about these things in the house?
How......
She looked up, but saw Cheng Chi Qingming's eyes.
Nanping hurriedly lowered his head, respectfully answered "yes", and retreated.
It's just that when he was about to walk to the door of the pavilion, he was stopped by Cheng Chi again.
She waited silently and breathlessly for Cheng Chi's orders.
Cheng Chi smiled: "You call Jiying in!" I want to make a violin, and I need someone to serve tea and pour water. â
"Fourth Master!" Nanping looked at Cheng Chi, his eyes flashing with water.
Cheng Chi's voice suddenly softened, and he said in a low voice: "You retreat!" â
"Yes!" Nanping responded in a deep voice and walked out of the pavilion.
Cheng Chi suddenly felt upset, and he walked out of the pavilion with his hands behind his back.
Huaishan bowed his head.
Cheng Chi sighed and said, "You accompany me for a walk around the neighborhood." â
Huai Shan didn't make a sound, silently followed behind Cheng Chi, and lived south along the path on the side.
Hotaru appeared next to the pavilion.
She looked around, didn't find Cheng Chi and Huaishan, showed a relieved smile, and tiptoed into the pavilion.
The letterhead is like a butterfly nailed to a long case, fluttering its wings with a bang.
She glanced quickly at the pavilion to make sure there was no one there, and then cautiously picked up the letterhead.
Unable to believe it, she read the letter again......
Ji Ying couldn't help laughing, and said proudly with a bit of schadenfreude: "Cheng Zichuan, Cheng Zichuan, you also have today!" I let you speak in a crooked way, I let you sneakily calculate people, and people bluntly say that they don't understand...... If it spreads, I'll see where your Cheng Siye's face goes......"
As she spoke, her expression suddenly tightened, and she turned around.
Cheng Chi and Huai Shan, who had disappeared just now, didn't know when they had stood in front of the gate of the pavilion.
"Four, fourth master!" Ji Hotaru showed a slight fear in her expression, and said in a panic, "I, I ......" Her gaze fell on the letterhead she was still holding in her hand...... Immediately, he put the letterhead on the long case like holding a hot potato, and pressed a piece of wood on the letterhead, restoring it to the exact same scene just now, and said, "I saw it fly out, so I helped pick it up......"
She was talking nonsense without blinking.
"Thank you!" Cheng Chi smiled and nodded, as if he didn't believe in her words, Daozi, "I failed again just now, and I was in a bad mood, so I went out for a walk, and I was going to come back and continue making the piano...... I think it's good, since you come here, don't rush to leave, look at me making the violin, maybe you will find out what I did wrong...... If you can't do it, you can serve me tea and pour water...... I just found out that it turns out that the violin making is also an individual lĂŹ live ......"
"No!" Ji Hotatsu's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes were full of beads, and he looked like he would run away if he found an opportunity.
Cheng Chi smiled: "What did you just say?" I didn't hear clearly! â
The corners of Ji Ying's mouth twitched, but he didn't even dare to say the "no" just now, looking at Cheng Chi, there was a faint begging for mercy in his eyes, and when he faced Nanping just now, he was like two people, where was there still a trace of cold and glamorous appearance, if it was the first time he saw her, he would feel that she seemed to be a little daughter-in-law who had been wronged.
Cheng Chi didn't seem to see it, walked in with a smile, stood still in front of the wood, and began to select the wood.
Ji Hotaru looked pleadingly towards Huaishan.
A trace of sympathy flashed in Huaishan's eyes, but he didn't say anything, bowed his head and walked away.
Ji Ying stared at Huaishan's back resentfully, and after a while, he whispered to Cheng Chi: "Fourth master, I'm ...... The slave and maid are waiting outside the house, if you have any matter, just greet the slave and maid......"
"You're just here." Cheng Chi continued to pick up the wood, and said a little casually, "It's windy outside, what if you catch a cold......" He said, inexplicably thinking of the little girl of the Zhou family.
His eyes were soft and bright like a pool of spring water, and his face was full of nervousness but pretended to be calm...... "A Zhu said, Liu Yong is very powerful now...... Uncle Chi, you have to be careful...... The sound is soft and glutinous, like the wine-making balls eaten during the New Year...... When she wrote to herself that she couldn't understand what she was saying, she wondered if she was also so nervous but pretending to be calm...... His expression softened, his smile became kind, and he said, "It just so happens that I have a piece of scrapped pine wood here, you can take it and make me a pot of tea here......"
Ji Hotaru looked frightened.
The softer Cheng Zichuan smiled, the more annoyed he became...... She just quietly ran in and read a letter from him that didn't matter, she wouldn't be so unlucky to run into the muzzle of his gun, would she?
A chiseling sound rang out.
Ji Hotaru wishes to die!
Zhou Shaojin of Wanxiangju looked at Nanping dumbfounded, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Zhu Pengju is not married, what does it have to do with him?
Uncle Chi, what does this mean?
Zhu Pengju's wife was not entitled...... In her previous life, when she was in the capital, it wasn't that there was no such scene, but she didn't say that she wouldn't be sealed because she was sick?
Uncle Chi is trying to sue her that Liangguo Gong is not as glorious as they see, or is he simply suing her that Zhu Pengju's wife is not entitled?
However, in this way, if Zhu Pengju's wife dies, his wife can immediately ask the Ministry of Rites and get the decree......
Thinking of this, Zhou Shaojin jumped up suddenly.
Could it be that Uncle Chi is going to sue her...... Zhu Pengju took a fancy to her?
It was as if a huge wave was coming, making her dizzy and unable to distinguish between southeast and northwest.
How so?
I must have been wrong!
On the day of the Midyear Festival, she didn't see Zhu Pengju at all...... No, the first time she saw Zhu Pengju was when Uncle Chi and her were drinking tea in Sanzhixuan...... If he fancied himself, why did he give her a gift today, and his sister was betrothed...... Could it be Cheng Ji...... So what about Li Jing?
She shuddered.
wanted to ask Nanping carefully what was going on, but looking at the demure appearance with a smile in Nanping's eyes, she felt that Uncle Chi's words had been said to this point, if she still asked...... It's stupid, too.
Zhou Shaojin had no choice but to say thank you to Nanping and sent a maid to send her out.
But as soon as Nanping went out, she immediately grabbed a pair of purses and sent Fan Liu's family to send them to Azhu in the Liangguo Mansion, and repeatedly told her: "Don't say anything when others ask you, and give her things with your own hands when you see Azhu himself." â
Fan Liu thought it was some secret between their little sisters, so he smiled and went to the Liangguo Mansion with his purse.
Zhou Shaojin waited restlessly, and finally stayed up until the evening, and Fan Liu came back.
She said a little puzzled: "I handed the things to Miss Azhu with my own hands, Miss Azhu was very strange, and asked me why I sent her two purses, I said that this was Miss's order, and Miss Azhu happily accepted it." I also brought back two baskets of newly listed pears, saying that someone was filial to the Liangguo Mansion, and asked me to bring it back to you, the eldest lady, Miss Ji, and the elders and relatives of the family to taste it. â
In other words, the gift was not given by Azhu.
Zhou Shaojin pulled out the cold in his heart.
She didn't think about it, so she ran towards the small hill Cong Guiyuan.
It was still the breeze that stopped her.
Zhou Shaojin said: "Don't say you don't know me...... I want to see Miss Nanping. â
She went to Cheng Chi like this, and they must have said that he was not there.
Qingfeng showed an angry look on his face, and was about to speak, when Zhou Shaojin glared at him hatefully, and said fiercely: "If you don't go through, I'll stand here and shout loudly...... I don't believe it, you can still gag me? â
Nominally, she is a guest, and Qingfeng is a servant.
The breeze was so angry that the corners of his mouth trembled, and he brushed his sleeves away.
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead.
If Qingfeng really doesn't communicate with her...... If you lend her another gut, she won't dare to shout at this time!
That, that's too embarrassing.
Does she want to see Uncle Chi in the future......
