Chapter 571: Layout

Where did Mama Lu dare to answer, and hurriedly introduced the topic to Mrs. Guo's favorite Brother Yun: "I heard that the little maid said that the set of fireflies is very watery, jumping into the lake like a fish, Uncle Yun went into the water with a silver-red pocket, and the little arms and legs are like lotus roots, I don't know how cute it is...... Would you like to check it out? ”

"Go! Why not go! Mrs. Guo didn't want to go, but she couldn't sit still when she heard it, so she went to the water pavilion with her agarwood hand.

The mother-in-law propped up the boat under the old locust tree growing on the water, and Zhou Shaojin was sitting under the tree to hide from the sun.

Ji Hotaru and Yun Ge'er were having a good time in the lake, and the giggles were like silver bells, spreading far away.

Mrs. Guo couldn't help but smile and scolded: "Are you like this?" Be careful to tan our brother Yun, I want you to pay for it! ”

Zhou Shaojin pursed her lips and smiled, and invited Mrs. Guo to sit on the boat: "...... Not only cool, but also comfortable. ”

Mrs. Guo has a hearty personality, and she is not hypocritical when she hears the words, she got on the boat by holding the shoulders of the boat lady, sat down opposite Zhou Shaojin, and couldn't help but stretch her hand into the turquoise lake and swing, and said with emotion: "This water is really cool." ”

"Not really." Zhou Shaojin smiled and took the opportunity to tell Mrs. Guo about their desire to move to the Water Pavilion to live, "A few days ago, Shiro said that it was too hot in the upper room and wanted to move to the Water Pavilion to live. Mother, will you move in with us? The water pavilion is so big, and there are many people. ”

"I'm old, and Tingxiangyuan is very good." Mrs. Guo rejected her proposal with a smile, "The wind is too cool on this side of the water pavilion. If you want to live in a different place, you can live in another place. Don't pull me on, my old bones can't stand your toss like this! ”

Zhou Shaojin's face turned crimson as he spoke.

Old Madam Guo clapped her hands and said, "Shaojin, do you think of our Brother Yun? ”

Ji Hotaru was holding his little belly and letting him paddle.

Yun Ge'er's limbs slashed quickly, slowly coming towards them.

Zhou Shaojin doesn't know how to water, and he doesn't know that he can still drink water like this, which is very strange.

Ji Ying shouted "Old Lady" and "Shao Jin" from afar, and rowed over with Brother Yun.

Yun Ge'er grabbed the side of the boat and shouted "grandmother" and "mother". Turn around and continue paddling. looked like he was afraid that Zhou Shaojin or Mrs. Guo would carry him onto the boat.

Everyone laughed.

Mrs. Guo squeezed Brother Yun'er's little hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, grandmother and your mother won't stop you, you just have to play." ”

Brother Yun didn't know if he had listened to it. Twisting his body and running straight to the middle of the lake.

There is no way to set fireflies. smiled and took Yun Ge'er to the white tower by the lake. It wasn't until the sun went down and the weather turned cooler that the two went ashore under the service of the maid. After changing clothes and drinking hot tea, Cheng Chi came back.

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly stepped forward and saw Qin Ziping, who came back with Cheng Chi.

He respectfully saluted Zhou Shaojin, and said embarrassedly: "Ji Ying's temperament is stubborn, if there is anything inappropriate, please forgive Mrs. Yuan." ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "Are you here to pick up the fireflies?" ”

Qin Ziping nodded abruptly.

Zhou Shaojin said with a smile: "I can play with Ji Ying when I was in Jiuru Lane, she can come to visit me, don't say it's me, it's the old lady, Brother Yun, they all like it very much." You can't learn from those old-fashioned and think that when she gets married, she has to stay at home embroidering and cooking! ”

"How so? How so? Qin Ziping said busily.

Zhou Shaojin continued his words and said: "In this case, if she wants to come to me in the future, you can't say a 'no' word - this afternoon Ji Ying is teaching Brother Yun to drink water, even if the old lady sees it, she also praises Ji Ying's good water nature, and the women don't let the eyebrows!" ”

Qin Ziping was taken aback, and saw that both Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Chi had calm looks, so he put his heart down and helped Ji Ying to humbly say a few words: "She is just fun." Teach Uncle Yun that he doesn't dare to be a ......"

Cheng Chi has always been afraid that Mrs. Guo is too doting on Brother Yun, and Zhou Shaojin is obedient to this old and young man everywhere, at this time, I heard that Ji Ying is teaching Brother Yun to drink water, and I feel that if Brother Yun can get close to Ji Ying, climb trees, and go down the river, it may not be bad.

"That's it." He concluded, "In the future, if Jiying is fine, I will come over and walk more, in addition to talking to my wife, I can also play with Brother Yun." You can also feel at ease when you're on your errand. ”

Shuntianfu's fast catch is not so easy to do, and one accidentally provokes high-ranking officials and nobles. If it weren't for Zhou Shaojin's "Cheng family will be raided and exterminated", Cheng Chi would not let Qin Ziping be arrested quickly, and Qin Zi'an went to the Xishan camp.

Cheng Chi said to Zhou Shaojin: "Wait for Ziping and his wife to stay for dinner." Then he said to Qin Ziping: "You come with me!" ”

Qin Ziping saluted Zhou Shaojin and went to the study with Cheng Chi.

Cheng Chi asked Qin Ziping: "Last time, Qin Zi'an said that the concubine of Shanxi Daying Tongzhi was a distant relative of the Fourth Prince's concubine's mother's family, what did you find?" ”

Qin Ziping's voice couldn't help but lower, and he whispered: "I found out, it's not a distant relative, it's a thin horse bought from outside, and then I recognized a distant cousin of the fourth princess as an adopted daughter and gave it to Tongzhi as a concubine...... Because they are not serious relatives, the two families usually don't move around at all, only the distant cousin of the fourth princess will go back when he has a birthday, but every time the concubine goes back, the nurse next to the fourth princess will also go back...... It is said that the Tongzhi is also very general to this little concubine, but this little concubine is very liked by the master's mother, and since this little concubine entered the door, the life of the Tongzhi family has been much better......

In other words, the four princes may be bribing that Tongzhi.

Cheng Chi didn't make a sound for a long time.

The normal inheritance of the throne only needs to please the emperor. The palace changes, the powerful eunuch inside should ventilate the news, the inside should be combined with the outside, and the outside should be supported by the forbidden army and the garrison of the Xishan battalion.

If the fourth prince is a normal successor, why would he make friends with the people of the Xishan camp and the great eunuch of the Qianqing Palace?

Cheng Chi faintly felt in his heart that the previous guess was true.

In the previous life, the four princes killed the emperor, and then they wanted to ascend the throne. The second uncle would definitely not agree if he knew about it, so the second uncle died in the palace in his previous life...... The body was sent out, and with the eyes of the eldest brother, he must have known what had happened...... It's just that he hadn't entered the cabinet at that time...... Is it incapable of standing up for the second uncle? Or did he use the death of the second uncle to make a deal with the fourth prince?

And the second uncle, why did he enter the palace?

If he guessed correctly, could the death of the imperial grandson also be a man-made disaster?

Therefore, the emperor is so jealous of the Cheng family?

A bolder thought came to Cheng Chi's heart.

He felt a little irritated in his heart.

I thought of the emperor's grandson's dark but shining, obsidian-like eyes.

At first glance, he is a very smart child.

He was very interested in the number he taught, and quickly figured out the relationship between numbers...... No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a premature death!

Cheng Chi shook his head gently, suppressing his good feelings for the imperial grandson in his heart. instructed Qin Ziping: "You and Zi'an continue to find a way to find out the ancestors of the three generations of those people in the Xishan camp." Leave the Praetorian Guard alone for now. About the Praetorian Guard, I went to ask the second uncle, and he should know very well. ”

Qin Ziping respectfully agreed.

Cheng Chi said: "When it's okay, let Ji Ying come to the house to play, if there is any news that is inconvenient for you, you can also ask Ji Ying to deliver a letter to his wife." And also. I'll ask you to find someone, do you have any news over there? ”

He's looking for a couple of twelve or thirteen years old. The child, who looked very clever, went to the East Palace.

It is impossible to serve the imperial grandson in close quarters. However, those who do miscellaneous work such as checking in the outer courtyard and feeding the horses in the stables can be inserted, and what happens in the East Palace every day can be reported to him in time.

He also sent a few people last time because of the death of the crown prince. The children were sent out of the palace, and he had to find another group of people to go in.

Qin Ziping said: "There is no suitable candidate...... he suggested, "Can you find it from the inner servant?" ”

"Unlikely." Cheng Chi muttered, "What the inner servant wants is different from us, if you can be impressed by just gold and silver and other yellow and white things, you may not do your best for us." This kind of thing is rather lacking than chaotic, take your time, and don't good things become bad things. ”

Qin Zi flattened his head.

A small servant said through the curtain that dinner was ready: "Mrs. invites the master and Lord Qin to dinner." ”

The two stopped the conversation and went to the inner courtyard.

Because they were not outsiders, everyone sat down at the same table to eat.

Yun Ge'er likes Jiying very much, and when she eats, she sandwiches her favorite meatballs, but unfortunately her hand is unsteady and the meatballs fall on the table, he gets up in a hurry and grabs it with his hand and stuffs it into Jiying's mouth.

Zhou Shaojin was shocked and hurriedly stopped him.

Ji Hotaru swallowed the meatballs disappreciatively, and said to Yun Ge'er with a smile, "It's delicious."

Yun Ge'er was so happy that his eyes smiled like a small crescent moon.

Zhou Shaojin smiled, helped Brother Yun wipe his hands, and softly explained the rules to Brother Yun.

Ji Ying hurriedly said: "He's still young, you don't have to be so strict!" Besides, he has a good heart. When he is older, it will not be too late for you to teach him well. ”

"Brother Yun is over one year old." Zhou Shaojin felt that Brother Yun could walk and jump and knew how to speak, and it was time to make rules.

Cheng Chi frowned and glanced at Ji Ying.

Just said that she was good, but I didn't expect her to be more accustomed to children than Shaojin.

"Eat without saying a word, sleep without saying a word." He said unhappily, "Eat! ”

Everyone stopped talking.

Ji Ying was very angry, but when Zhou Shaojin sent her out, she couldn't help but say to Zhou Shaojin: "Don't keep me to eat in the future, I feel a pain in my chest when I see Cheng Zichuan." If you really want to keep me for dinner, you can take advantage of his absence, or when men and women need to share their tables. I don't think I've had enough to eat today, and I'll have to eat a little more when I go back. ”

Ji Hotaru and Cheng Chi are really natural rivals.

"I also made some pastries in the kitchen, I'll let the Spring Festival Gala wrap some for you!" Zhou Shaojin said apologetically, "Next time you come early, have lunch here." ”

In this way, Jiying can also go back to make dinner for Qin Ziping as soon as possible.

Ji Ying was not polite to Zhou Shaojin, and was helped by Qin Ziping to get into the sedan chair with a snack.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help laughing and went back to Cheng Chi.

Cheng Chi was reading a book, his eyes took off the manuscript in his hand, and said, "Isn't this normal?" ”

Zhou Shaojin gossiped: "Think about it, Ji Ying is so good, as for the last sedan chair, do you still need someone to help you?" But the two of them are naturally supported by one and the other is supported naturally, which shows that the relationship is very good! ”

Dear friends, today's update.
