Chapter 41: Consultation
Zhou Shaojin thought about it and told Zhou Chujin about his encounters with Cheng Xu a few times.
Zhou Chujin was dumbfounded when he heard this, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he stumbled: "You mean, you mean Uncle Xu of the long house, to you, to you......... Not ordinary? ”
If it was a previous life, Zhou Shaojin would definitely nod her head without hesitation, but after experiencing Cheng Zhen's sudden marriage with Wu Baozhang, she has learned to keep her mouth shut, and if others don't make it clear, she will never be sentimental.
"I don't know." "But I always think it's not good." Under the melon field and plums, it's better to stay away from him......"
Zhou Chujin thought for a while, and then pondered: "I think he is more reliable than Cheng Lu......"
Zhou Shaojin was shocked into a cold sweat and hurriedly said: "Sister, you also said just now, if I have something to do with one of the cousins of the Cheng family, my grandmother and eldest aunt must not be negligent. The two elders love us very much, we can't give them faces, and we can't smear their faces! I don't think you should mention this again, you have to find a way to help me get away from that journey. ”
She thought that after the news of Cheng Ju and Wu Baozhang's marriage came out, Cheng Ju in the fifth room was entangled with her, and she knew that Cheng Ju had already coveted her beauty, and she had long wanted to have bad intentions, but it was just that Cheng Xu didn't dare to start. She then said: "It's best to stay away from these so-called cousins of the Cheng family." Thinking of his own difficulties after his sister got married, he said, "When my sister gets married, I will go to my father's office." After all, the father is in charge of the family, and the stepmother treats her badly, and she doesn't dare to embarrass her in marriage.
Zhou Chujin was really shocked and ashamed when she heard this, and took her sister's hand and said, "It's my sister who is confused." I only think about glory and wealth, but I forget that you are the right person, fortunately, you have a serious heart, otherwise my sister will mistake you. ”
"No, my sister cares about it." Zhou Shaojin felt that if she wasn't a human being in two lives, she might not be able to see it so clearly, she sat down next to her sister and said thoughtful words to her sister: "I know that my sister is worried about me and wants me to marry a good man." It's just that the Cheng family may not be able to marry into it. Don't say anything else, let's talk about the cousin of the third room. He is twenty-two years old this year, and he has been a talent for seventeen years, but he has not yet said goodbye. I heard Cheng Ji say that her grandmother felt that Sanfang was weak, and she wanted to find a Yue's family for her cousin who could help him in his career. Three-bedroom is still like this, let alone a long room?
"You're sure to say. The long house has become Xiao Jiuqing, and the fathers and grandparents have successively produced five jinshi, and finding a Yue family who can help in their career is just icing on the cake, and there is no need. But sister, have you thought about it, the people outside look at us wearing gold and silver, and there are chariots and horses and servants in and out, very envious, but we still feel that our life is not very smooth, and we wish to go to the next level. In the same way, I think Cousin Xu is already very good, and Aunt Jing may still count on him to enter the cabinet and become a celebrity. ”
Having said this, Zhou Shaojin was stunned.
Why didn't she think of it in her previous life?!
It stands to reason that she and Cheng Xu had such a thing, with Yuan's shrewdness, she should take Cheng Xu's reputation into it first, whether it is grinding or scolding, life or death, she became the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family, even if her father knew about it, he couldn't control it. Yuan's reaction was so big, it was completely angry, hysterical, and broken...... As much hope as there is, there is as much disappointment as there is.
She not only destroyed the marriage between the Cheng family and the Min family, hindered Cheng Xu's future, but also dashed the hopes of the Yuan family......
And who will benefit from this?
Concubine!
Cheng Rang, the son of Cheng Wei, the second master of the long house, is still young, and although he reads well, he is very weak; Cheng Chi doesn't seem to be married or have children; Cheng Xun on the second old lady's side died early, if the Cheng family didn't have an accident, it would only be a matter of time before Cheng Zhi in the second room crushed Cheng Rang and became the head of the Cheng family.
There are also three rooms!
Because Cheng Zheng was finally protected by the Hong family, he married a daughter of Wang Jian, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and entered the Jishi Pavilion before Cheng He, and was appointed in the Criminal Department.
At that time, Cheng Jing's health was not good, according to Cheng Yi, Cheng Zheng had been studying with Cheng Jing since he was raised, and the chief examiner of Cheng Zheng was Cheng Jing's fellow brother.
Now that I think about it, Cheng Jing may have felt something, so he began to spare no effort to mention the Ctrip card.
Cheng Zheng has only been in the post for two years, and he mentioned Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the smoothness of Shitu makes people red-eyed, and even his brother-in-law Liao Shaotang has sighed......
Zhou Shaojin pursed her lips and told her sister about Zichuan's protection.
Zhou Chujin was shocked and said, "Did you hear clearly, those people called him 'Zichuan'?" ”
"I can hear you clearly." Zhou Shaojin said sternly, "It is true that I called that son 'Zichuan'." Could it be that my sister knows who he is??
Zhou Chujin couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "He is the fourth master of the long house, Cheng Chi, Zichuan, and a jinshi who has been in Germany for fifteen years." She said, nodding Zhou Shaojin's forehead, "You, you don't know if you have the blessing of your elders, but fortunately you told me today, otherwise wouldn't you even know who to say the word 'thanks'?" ”
"Yes, it's the fourth master of the long house, Cheng Chi?" Zhou Shaojin really didn't expect it in his dreams, "I think he treats the prince of Liangguo very casually...... Who do you think he is the prince and nobleman who came to pay homage to the ancestor of the second room? ”
She muttered quietly, thinking that in her previous life, it was he who robbed the law field to save Cheng Xu, and suddenly felt that he should be such a person, otherwise it would be impossible to do the thing of robbing the law field.
No wonder Cheng Xu pulled Pan Hao away without saying anything.
and Pan Hao's expression at that time, as if he was dumbfounded, he obviously recognized one of them.
But who did he recognize?
Gu Jiuzhen was not famous in the world at this time, but he was just a child of a family of poetry and books in Jinling City; Although Zhu Pengju is a minister, his influence on scholars is small, so it will not surprise Pan Hao...... Could it be that he recognized Yuan Beiyun?
Zhou Shaojin's heart was full of curiosity, but more of gratitude.
If it weren't Cheng Chi today, it wouldn't have been such an ending.
She said: "My sister is reasonable, Uncle Chi, I don't know if I don't know, since I know it's him, I have to go and thank you." After the birthday feast of the ancestor in the second room, my sister will accompany me to thank Uncle Chi, right? And my father, I should also say it. ”
Zhou Chujin nodded and hesitated: "Father, I think it's better not to be quiet, so as not to cause trouble." ”
Oh, yes! How to explain Cheng Chi's help to himself?
Zhou Shaojin bowed his head and said, "Do you want to say something about Old Madam Guo?" ”
Zhou Chujin said: "It must be inappropriate for you and me to say it, it is best to discuss this matter with my grandmother and aunt." ”
The two sisters were talking, and Shi Xiang said through the curtain: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, said in the winter evening, the drama over there on the Peony Terrace is about to disperse, I ask you if you can't get over?" ”
Nature is to be passed.
Otherwise, how would the elders answer.
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly changed his clothes and went to the Peony Terrace with Zhou Chujin.
Fortunately, when they went in, they just ended, and most people thought that Zhou Chujin was waiting for Zhou Shaojin to come in together, and only a few people noticed that Zhou Chujin had not appeared since Zhou Shaojin left, and Cheng Ji was one of them.
She pulled Zhou Shaojin's sleeve and whispered, "What are you sisters doing?" Sneaky! ”
"You're sneaky?" Zhou Shaojin said unhappily, "Why did you become so disagreeable when you said it?" If you do this again, don't talk to me anymore! ”
Cheng Ji turned around and left in a fit of rage.
Zhou Shaojin disagreed, and quietly looked at the ladies who came to visit.
Pan Qing looked calm and supported his grandmother, Mrs. Tang, while Wu Baozhang smiled and whispered to Miss Sun Sun who was wearing a crimson woven gold coat.
As if nothing had happened.
Zhou Shaojin glanced at Jade, and Jade took an opportunity and walked to Zhou Shaojin's side. Zhou Shaojin asked her, "When did Miss Pan and Miss Wu come back?" ”
She was a little flustered before, and she didn't pay attention to this.
Not anymore.
She wants to save herself, in addition to finding out why Cheng Lu ruined her reputation, she also has to find out the powerful relationship between the Cheng family's several rooms!
Jade was a little surprised, but still said: "Before I came back, the eldest lady of the Wu family was talking to Miss Sun, and about two quarters of an hour later, Miss Pan came back, and at that time, Donald asked Miss Pan why she had been gone for so long?" Miss Pan said that she met Pan Gongzi, and the two had a conversation. ”
Zhou Shaojin thought that Pan Qing was the first to come back.
In other words, after Pan Qing and Pan Hao broke up, Pan Qing did not go back to Peony Terrace immediately, either went to another place or did something else......
Zhou Shaojin smiled and thanked Jade.
Jade quietly distanced herself from Zhou Shaojin.
Wu Baozhang walked over and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the second lady to fall in love with Miss Jade so much within a few days of meeting the Jade Girl, the two of them are talking and laughing, they are really envious of others!" ”
Are you the only one who will pretend!
Zhou Shaojin sneered in his heart, but his face was very polite, and said: "Thanks to Mrs. Guo's love, I specially asked the jade girl to take care of me, the jade girl is careful and considerate, and she is very close to me." ”
"Really?" Wu Baozhang smiled, "I thought it was Uncle Xu's reason?" ”
knew that Wu Baozhang would use this matter to make a fuss.
Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened in astonishment, and he said strangely: "Cousin Xu? What does this have to do with Cousin Xu? The jade girl is a person in Mrs. Guo's house. ”
Wu Baozhang was surprised, and then slowly squinted his eyes and laughed: "Second Miss, I didn't expect you to be so interesting!" It's not just me, it seems that Miss Pan also saw that Uncle Xu has been chasing you to Sanzhixuan! ”
It turns out that the place where Uncle Chi drinks tea is called Sanzhixuan.
She thought that Sanzhixuan was a house, but she didn't expect a thatched pavilion.
Zhou Shaojin didn't know how she could have the leisure to care about these at this time...... She said, "What is Miss Wu talking about?" Why can't I understand? You said that Cousin Xu has been chasing me to Sanzhixuan, and Miss Pan has also seen it......" She shouted "Cousin Qing" in a high voice, and then smiled and whispered, "We might as well call Cousin Qing to confront you!" ”
