Zhou Shaojin didn't want to see Cheng Chen, but she remembered the old beggar in a flash, changed her mind again, and decided to meet Cheng Chen.

The flower hall of the four-room reception is inlaid with painted glass, and when the door is fully opened, the old locust tree outside the house shades the sun, and the flower hall is full of green, cool and comfortable.

Zhou Shaojin sat at the square table in front of the middle hall, looked at Cheng Yuan with a smile, and said, "What is Cousin looking for me", his tone was as docile and gentle as before.

Speaking of which, this is the first time she has met Cheng Yan so officially since she was reborn.

As she remembers, Cheng Lu always likes to wear royal blue clothes. However, this time it is a Hangzhou silk shirt with a 10,000-character pattern, a crow-blue Hangzhou satin blessing shoes, a flawless mutton fat jade and jade plate hanging from the waist, and a green bamboo hairpin, which is simple and generous without losing its stability.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a slightly shy smile, glanced at Shi Xiang, who was standing behind Zhou Shaojin, and hesitated: "I have something to talk to my cousin about ...... alone."

If it was in the past, Zhou Shaojin would definitely consider whether this was in line with the ceremony, but now, she just smiled faintly: "Shi Xiang is my personal maid, what can't I say in front of her?" Cousin doesn't have to scruples, she knows all about me. ”

Cheng Yan was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Shaojin carefully.

The skin is brighter than snow, the eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and he still looks gentle and obedient.

He felt a little overwhelmed again.

With his understanding of Zhou Shaojin, she is not only cowardly, but also sentimental, and because she grew up reading "The Female Commandment" and "The Biography of the Daughters", she follows the rules, abides by etiquette, and does not dare to make a wrong step. Although he asked Cheng Yi to send her something, it was still a little inappropriate to talk about it seriously. There are many maids and wives around her, and there is a shrewd and powerful Zhou Chujin, but she is afraid that the matter of giving things by herself will fall into Zhou Chujin's eyes, and she is full of mistakes. It is reasonable for Zhou Shaojin to ignore himself.

Thinking of this, Cheng Lu felt that it was a bit of a mistake for her to send her to serve as soon as she saw Zhou Shaojin, and it was no wonder that she would politely refuse. Then he smiled and said, "I was too careful." Since my cousin said so, I guess Shi Xiang is also reassuring. Then, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Cousin, do you know that I have taken back all the properties in the name of Sifang?" ”

Here's the opening line.

Since I want to know Cheng Lu's intentions, I naturally have to follow his words.

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "I heard it. Uncle Bai died early, and his cousin had a fame, so he naturally wanted to glorify his ancestors, support the court, and take back the property under the name of Sifang, which should also be done. I don't know why my cousin mentioned this? ”

Cheng was surprised.

He didn't expect Zhou Shaojin to look at this matter like this.

Or, the other rooms of the Cheng family also think so......

He was afraid of leaking the news before, so he covered his mouth tightly, for fear that others would suspect him and Sifang's affairs, saying that he suddenly became arrogant, turned his face ruthlessly, and drew a clear line with Sifang......

Cheng suddenly felt as if he had done something wrong.

He felt a little apprehensive in his heart - he thought that after seeing Zhou Shaojin, he was caught off guard and said this matter, and he would be able to lead Zhou Shaojin by the nose, but after he met Zhou Shaojin, he just said a word, but found that what he thought he had in his chest before was full of loopholes.

Cheng Yan looked at Zhou Shaojin's eyes revealing a little cautiousness, and said half emotionally and half jokingly: "My cousin still knows my mind." ”

Zhou Shaojin sneered in his heart.

In his previous life, he had said many such ambiguous things.

In this life, he wants to bluff himself again, but I'm afraid it's not so easy!

If you want to deal with Cheng Chen, you have to be more powerful than Cheng Chen.

Although Zhou Shaojin didn't know how to be more powerful than Cheng Ran, she knew that at least she couldn't let Cheng Ran see through it at a glance and let Cheng Ran know what she was thinking.

Zhou Shaojin smiled as much as she could, as she had before. Don't speak, and Cheng Lu will see the move.

Cheng Zhen was not suspicious.

Zhou Shaojin is not good at words, and most of the time he is taciturn...... And laugh shyly.

He smiled, "You also know about my family...... Although my mother is a virtuous person, I don't have to worry about the affairs of the inner house, but the external affairs can only rely on myself. When I didn't get into the Xiucai exam before, I thought it would be good to have fame. At least I'll be able to make my own decisions......"

In the past, Zhou Shaojin liked to hear such words the most.

So Zhou Shaojin lowered his eyelids.

She was afraid that Cheng Zhen would see the disdain in her heart.

Cheng Yan didn't think much about it, and said slowly: "I bought the house where your great-grandmother was married in Guanjie from your uncle in the banker's hand, and I am going to give ......it to you when the time is right."

It's like a rock.

Zhou Shaojin looked at Cheng Lu in amazement, and didn't react for a long time.

She never dreamed that Cheng Lu would admit so bluntly that he bought the mansion on Guanjie, and what she didn't expect was that he would say that the mansion was bought to be given to her.

What does it mean?

In his previous life, he never mentioned the house on Official Street.

Did he know that he already knew about the grievances between the two families of Cheng Zhuang back then?

If so, why did he mention only the house on Official Street and not about the old beggar?

Perhaps, he was just testing himself?

See how you react!

Zhou Shaojin was in a mess, she couldn't guess Cheng Lu's intentions, and couldn't help but look at Cheng Lu.

Cheng Lu has big black and white eyes, and he is looking at her with a smile at the moment, his eyes lingering.

Zhou Shaojin shuddered, his mind suddenly cleared up a lot, and his mind turned quickly.

Cheng Lu didn't know that he was reborn, so he didn't know that he had seen through his true face, and he still guessed himself based on his former temperament. As long as she was like before, he would keep talking......

She looked overwhelmed and muttered, "Cousin, you are, this is ......"

Cheng smiled slightly and said, "I never thought that you also wanted to buy that house." I heard from the sea yesterday afternoon that people with teeth wanted to buy this house, and I found out about it...... Since you know that I bought the house, why don't you tell me directly? It seems that there is such a difference between our cousins...... Do you have some resentment in your heart...... I was just a child before, I didn't have anything, how can I tell you...... It's a different story today. If you want to buy the house back and make it yourself, let Ma Fushan tell Zhao Dahai that is, no matter whether the money is money or not, I will let the government transfer it directly to your name...... The house was also going to be given to you, one day earlier, one day later, it's the same......"

I'm afraid it's a big difference!

If he sued herself when she didn't know about it, she believed that he had just inadvertently bought the dealer's house on Guan Street.

He sued herself at this time, and she believed that he had done it on purpose.

Zhou Shaojin took a few deep breaths before calming down his mood.

Cheng Chen, what a good means!

He knew about his house on Guanguan Street, so he made the first move and said that the house was bought and was going to be given to himself.

So does he know about the old beggar?

Zhou Shaojin said: "Cousin, thank you!" I just thought that the house used to be my mother's home, so I wanted to buy it and think about it. Later, I learned that you bought the house, and I thought that it was not in the hands of someone else, so I dispelled this idea. My cousin wants to give me the house, but I don't think it's necessary - it's too small, and I may not be able to use it in the future, but it happens to be next to my cousin's ancestral house, and my cousin is now a showman, and he will definitely have a lot of entertainment in the future, expand the house, and act more decently. In my opinion, this house is better kept by my cousin. I appreciate my cousin's kindness. ”

"However, after all, that is your dealer's property......" Cheng Yan hesitated.

"Of all things in the world, the virtuous live in them." Zhou Shaojin said with a smile, "Cousin said so, what about those gold and stone antiques that the Cheng family treasured?" ”

Cheng Lu laughed heartily and said, "The second cousin is reasonable, but I am vulgar." ”

Zhou Shaojin also laughed.

Cheng Lu asked her: "I didn't expect that our two families lived next door in the past, if it wasn't for my cousin to buy that house this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't know it in my life." ”

Zhou Shaojin played Tai Chi with him and said with a smile: "I also accidentally found it when I returned to my ancestral house during the Dragon Boat Festival." I heard Ma Fushan say that when my mother was there, she didn't have a good relationship with Uncle Zhuang, so my father let me live with my sister in Cheng's house. I thought that my father was an official outside and was well-informed, and since he was unwilling to associate with my uncle in the Zhuang family, there must be some grievances that he didn't want me to know, and I still didn't know. ”

Cheng Lu's eyes flickered, and he said, "But after all, it's your foreign business, don't you want to go to the mansion on Guanjie to have a look?" ”

"It's better to be kind than to be nurtured." Zhou Shaojin said euphemistically, "When my mother died, I was still in infancy, and I didn't remember my mother's appearance at all. My mother's affairs are all told by my sister. I now have my grandmother, my aunt, and my sister, but I don't think about my mother very often. ”

Cheng Lu sighed and said, "After all, it was the one who gave birth to you, and you have half of her blood on your body......"

Zhou Shaojin was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "The woman in the boudoir, where can she move around at will?" Even if you want to see it, you have to wait until you get married and can be the master of the house, and then you can take a look. Anyway, my mother has been dead for so many years, and the things that should be left behind are long gone, and it will not be a long time or a half. ”

This is Zhou Shaojin.

After pinning everything on the future, but not knowing, some things are fleeting.

Cheng Lu nodded with a smile and said, "In that case, I'll help you keep the house on Guanjie first, maybe...... Do what you want to do with it in the future...... Like you said, it's not too late...... There are still two or three years to go before you and Lu......" At the end of the words, his voice gradually lowered, full of longing, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was motivating himself.

Zhou Shaojin endured it so that he didn't smash the teacup in his hand at him.

She has seen a despicable and shameless villain, but she has never seen a despicable and shameless villain like Cheng Lu!
