Ji Hotaru is noncommittal.

Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened in surprise.

Can't you write a letter?

Wouldn't that become a detention?

Why did Uncle Chi treat the people of the Jiying family like this?

She vaguely felt that this answer might affect the friendship between her and Ji Ying, so she changed the topic and said, "I have brewed a few jars of osmanthus wine, and it will be opened after the ninth day of the first lunar month, can you bring some back?" Buried under a tree, it is best to drink crab when eating. ”

Ji Hotaru was not polite, took two jars and left.

Zhou Shaojin and Ji Yingdong's parents and Xijia chatted so casually, and their mood became much lighter. When I went to the Hanbi Mountain House, I saw that Biyu was instructing several daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law to change the furnishings of the main house, and she ran over to take a look.

The original hanging "fairy guiding the way" in the middle hall has been replaced with "Magu Xianshou", the bamboo originally placed on the flower table has become evergreen, and the cushion with the auspicious cloud pattern has been replaced with five bats holding longevity...... In short, all the furnishings have become related to "immortality".

Zhou Shaojin asked Biyu with a smile: "Will you pay homage to the old lady here when the time comes?" ”

"Hmm!" Biyu smiled, "The old lady said that her old man is old, and she comes and goes, not only tossing her but also those who come to celebrate her old man's birthday." said that it was a scattered birth, and did not invite the old lady's living protégés, but only invited a few female relatives who were close on weekdays. After the younger generations kowtowed to her old man here, they went to Yunzhen Hall to drink and listen to plays, and play cards, leaving only a few old women here to accompany her old man to talk. ”

"It's that simple!" Zhou Shaojin said with a smile.

Even the old lady Guan in the fourth room is too old, and it is more lively than this.

Biyu said implicitly: "The old lady was a person who went to the palace to greet the queen mother and the queen mother in the early years. No matter how big the pomp is, how can it compare to the pomp and circumstance in the palace. ”

Zhou Shaojin said with a smile: "Climb Mount Tai and the mountains are small? ”

"That's exactly what it is!" Biyu laughed with her, and several maids and daughters-in-law came over with Yuan's hug.

"Shaojin!" From afar, Yuan greeted her with a smile.

Because of the distance, as early as mid-August, the Yuan family sent someone to bring Cheng Xiao's child's baptism to Tongxiang, just waiting for Cheng Xiao's child to land. This morning, she received a letter from her grandmother, saying that the swaddling clothes embroidered for Cheng Xiao's child with Zhou Shaojin's patterns not only made the daughters of the Yuan family full of praise, but also when the child was baptized three times, Cheng Xiao's mother-in-law personally chose the swaddling bag for the child, which made the things sent by the Cheng family out of the limelight.

Yuan felt a light on his face.

She went to pull Zhou Shaojin's hand.

Zhou Shaojin brushed his hair. 、

Yuan didn't care either, he told her about the situation with a smile, and said, "Thanks to you this time, I gave your cousin Xiao a long face." Your cousin Xiao also specially wrote back a letter to let me thank you. He also said that the mother-in-law who went to send the three baptism gifts brought you some gadgets back, so that you must not be polite. ”

You don't need a gift, just don't bother me to design any more patterns for you.

Zhou Shaojin smiled slightly, making her immature and delicate face look a little shy.

Yuan laughed and wanted to pull her to see Mrs. Guo.

Biyu hurriedly said: "The old lady went to the fourth master, and she won't be back until a while." Madame go into the house and have a cup of tea! ”

Yuan smiled and nodded.

Zhou Shaojin took the opportunity to resign from the Yuan family and returned to the Buddhist hall.

She asked Xiao Tan, "Do you know why the old lady suddenly went to Xiaoshan Cong Guiyuan?" ”

"Because the old lady is about to celebrate her birthday!" Xiao Tan said with a smile, "The eldest master and the second master are not at home, and the old lady has a birthday, so I naturally hope that the fourth master can come to participate!" ”

"Isn't the old lady's birthday the fourth old man not participating?" Zhou Shaojin was taken aback.

"I heard Sister Jasper say that it seems that she didn't show up in the past few years." Xiao Tan said, "It is said that there is something wrong with the Yutai ticket number." The old lady was not happy for those years. For this matter, one year on the old lady's birthday, the eldest lord made a special trip back from the capital but failed to make the old lady happy...... It was the old lady who went to the Xiaoshan Conggui Courtyard in person, and the fourth old man came to pay a birthday to the old lady. In the past two years, the old lady will go to see the fourth master every time she has her birthday. ”

This, that's weird!

Zhou Shaojin didn't dare to comment. When I went to bid farewell to Mrs. Guo, I carefully observed Mrs. Guo's expression. It's a pity that Mrs. Guo looked solemn, and she didn't see anything.

The next day, she asked Ji Ying, "Will Uncle Chi attend the old lady's birthday banquet?" ”

"I don't know about the birthday banquet?" Ji Hotaru said, "But I will definitely go to worship Shou." ”

Zhou Shaojin hesitated for a while and said, "Then don't you think it's strange?" ”

"What's so strange about that?" Ji Yingqi said, "A room of female dependents, he is a man, is he still there to accompany his sister-in-law and aunts to wipe the cards?" ”

It's too sharp.

Zhou Shaojin decided to ask Ji Ying less in the future.

※

On the ninth day of the new year, Zhou Shaojin followed Mrs. Guan, Mrs. Chu, and Zhou Chujin to Hanbi Mountain House early.

I never thought that there were people who were earlier than them.

An old lady, with two women in her forties and four young women of the age of Huaxin, and girls from seven, eight, eight, and twelve or thirteen years old, looked at her bearing, steady and introverted, and was by no means an ordinary family, but she could look at the dress, but she was very simple, and she did not look like a lady of a powerful family.

Zhou Shaojin had never seen one, but Mrs. Guan and Mrs. Chu knew each other, and they hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to greet each other. Only then did she know that these people turned out to be Mrs. Guo's maiden family, the daughters of the Guo family in Stone Lane.

The old lady is Mrs. Guo's brother-in-law, but she looks a few years older than Mrs. Guo, with a warm smile and elegant conversation. When the old lady spoke, the other ladies of the Guo family all smiled and listened, and the rules were very big.

After Zhou Shaojin came the daughters of the Gu family.

There were seventeen or eighteen of them. Gu Lao'an didn't come, the leader was the eldest wife of the Gu family, and Gu Qi's grandmother and Gu Qi's aunt were also in the crowd.

The daughters of the Gu family are very familiar with the Guo family, and after seeing the ceremony, they greeted each other.

Grandma Gu Qi nodded at Zhou Shaojin and Chu Jin with a smile, while Gu Seventeen Gu ran over and greeted Zhou Shaojin and Zhou Chujin with a smile.

The three of them were talking, and the people from the third room came over.

There was laughter in the room again.

Cheng Ji saw Zhou Shaojin and Gu Seventeen Gu at a glance. After she saluted her elders, she stabbed and ran to Zhou Shaojin's side.

"Aunt Seventeen, when did you arrive?" She warmly took Gu Seventeen's arm, "Wait for us to sit together when we have a banquet." ”

"Okay!" Gu Qigu happily agreed.

Someone else is coming.

The room was starting to get a little crowded.

The mother in charge smiled and invited the wives and young ladies to the side room for tea, leaving a few old ladies who accompanied Mrs. Guo to talk.

Cheng Ji instigated Zhou Shaojin and others to speak in the courtyard: "There will be more people who will come, and the salute will make your waist sore." ”

Gu Qigu covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "I am a guest and a host." ”

Zhou Shaojin has never liked to socialize, not only did he have no objection, but also pointed to a clump of bamboo in the courtyard: "Where are we going to talk-there is a long stone bench behind the bamboo bush." ”

Zhou Chujin couldn't leave Mrs. Chu alone in the wing, and said with a smile: "You can talk there, don't run around, be careful that you can't find your people when you pay homage." Thinking that Cheng Ji was unreliable, he said to Gu Seventeen Aunt, "I can hand over Shaojin to you." ”

Zhou Shaojin's face turned red, and Gu Seventeen Gu repeatedly promised: "Definitely, definitely." ”

Zhou Chujin went to the wing room with confidence.

The three of them smiled and went behind the bamboo bushes.

It was originally a place for Jasper and others to enjoy the shade, and the stone bench was very clean. It's just that before Zhou Shaojin and the others took out a handkerchief to wipe the test, Zhixiang ran over panting with a few cushions: "Second Miss, the eldest lady asked me to send this." It is said that the weather is getting cooler, not better than in summer, or sitting on the mat. ”

All three were surprised.

Zhou Shaojin felt as if there was a warm current flowing through her heart, and she hurriedly took over the cushion.

Cheng Ji shouted: "It's still the best sister Chu Jin!" ”

Gu Qiqi asked Zhixiang to thank Zhou Chujin on her behalf.

Holding incense, he smiled and left.

Cheng Ji and Gu Qiqi talked about Zhou Chujin's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and the question gradually shifted to Azhu, who was still putting river lanterns together last time, and from Azhu to Liangguo Mansion...... The topic became farther and farther away, and finally talked about the aunt and grandmother of the Liu family in Meifu, Guanjie, and moved back to her parents' house with a pair of children: "It was said that the aunt of the Liu family spoiled the concubine and killed his wife, and the aunt and grandmother of the Liu family were unwilling to live, and several masters of the Liu family took people over to beat the aunt of the Liu family severely, so that the aunt of the Liu family almost lost half her life, not only vomited out all the dowry of the aunt and grandmother, but also pasted thousands of taels of silver upside down, and the aunt and grandmother of the Liu family signed the letter of resignation. ”

And this kind of thing!

Zhou Shaojin listened with relish.

Suddenly, the mother-in-law's high-pitched voice came from outside: "The fourth master and the uncle are here!" ”

There was a commotion in the courtyard.

Presumably, the ladies were in a hurry to avoid it.

Zhou Shaojin thought that in addition to them, there were also some female relatives standing in the corridor and courtyard in twos and threes talking.

Soon, the courtyard was quiet.

Zhou Shaojin turned his head and saw Cheng Chi and Cheng Xu walking in through the bamboo forest.

Cheng Chi looked a little taller than Cheng Xu, wearing a royal blue plain Huhang straight jacket, a dark blue cloth belt wrapped around his waist, a beautiful blue plain purse on the left, and a small seal on the right, with one hand behind his waist, his posture was like a pine but his expression was indifferent.

Cheng Xu was a few steps behind him, wearing a purple-red purple purple ribbon with a dark flower straight jacket, and a true purple ribbon around his waist.

Gu Qigu looked at it with a little surprise and said "ah", "Cheng Jiashan is getting better and better." ”

Zhou Shaojin's eyes fell on Cheng Chi's body.

Uncle Chi didn't wear a robe...... It can be seen that it is not as Xiaotan and the others said that they do not pay attention to Mrs. Guo's birthday.

Cheng Ji snorted and lay on the shoulders of the two of them, and said, "What's so beautiful!" Not two eyes and a nose yet? ”

Gu Qigu's eyes stared at Cheng Xu and said, "Two eyes and one nose are also different!" Cheng Jiashan's eyes and nose are better than others. ”
