Chapter 84: Understanding

Mama Gong coughed again.

Ah Zhu immediately became impatient and said, "Is it because I was born in a good country mansion that I can't make friends?" ”

Mama Gong was embarrassed.

Zhou Shaojin was stunned.

No wonder she acted so confidently and generously, it turned out to be the eldest lady of the Liangguo Mansion.

If she remembers correctly, Liangguo Gong has no concubines, only a son and a daughter, all of whom are concubines. The son should be that Zhu Kun, Zhu Peng is raised, and the daughter should be this Zhu Zhu.

Zhou Shaojin said with a smile: "It's rare to take a surname as a name." ”

Ah Zhu smiled hesitantly and said, "I used to call Pearl 'Zhu', but I later saw that this name was not good, so I changed it to Zhu Hong'." Isn't it better than the word 'pearl' in pearl? ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded: "Quite distinctive." ”

"I think so too!" Ah Zhu said triumphantly, and no longer mentioned things like being a guest, which made Zhou Shaojin let out a long sigh.

A woman and servant came over, saw them "ouch", and said, "Miss Seventeen, Lao An is looking for you!" ”

"Looking for us?" Zhou Shaojin pointed to his chest.

The maid nodded and said with a smile: "Lao Anren said that she was missing one of the three there, so I either found two Miss Zhou, or found Miss Azhu......"

Everyone was stunned.

Miss Seventeen asked the servant woman, "Do you play horse hanging or leaf cards?" ”

The servant woman smiled and said, "Play the leaf card." ”

Miss Seventeen asked Sister Zhou Shaojin, "Do you know how to play?" Then he said, "I don't know how to play, in the past, my sixteenth sister used to play cards with Lao Anren." ”

"I can't either!" Azhu shouted, "I can't sit still......"

Zhou Shaojin can play.

In her memory, her sister also played.

She wanted to give this opportunity to her sister - to leave a little impression on Lao Anren, and she would be able to talk to the fifteenth young lady of the Gu family in the future.

Zhou Shaojin looked at her sister.

In Zhou Chujin's impression, Zhou Shaojin will not. She hesitated for a moment and said, "I will, but I just don't have a good time......

Miss Seventeen and Ah Zhu were both relieved, and Miss Seventeen even pulled Zhou Chujin away: "No, it's good...... No, you're going to lose...... Our old An, hey, that's a master...... You win her, and she's not happy; You deliberately lost to her, and she saw it, and you were still unhappy...... No, exactly! ”

Zhou Shaojin was shocked and asked the woman servant to send someone to say hello to the Yuan family and Mrs. Chu, and then followed Zhou Chujin and the others to Lao Anren.

Azhu hid at the door and refused to go in.

She said to Zhou Shaojin and Miss Seventeen, "I'll wait for you here...... We'll go to the garden to flutter butterflies later. ”

Zhou Shaojin was very surprised.

Azhu said abruptly: "Every time Lao An sees me, she asks me to accompany her old man to wipe the cards......"

Although she just met, Zhou Shaojin has already seen that Azhu is an active person, and at her age, it is really uncomfortable for her to accompany an old man to play cards.

Zhou Shaojin and her sister smiled knowingly, and entered the house with Miss Seventeen.

The card table had already been set up, and Lao An was sitting in front of the card table covered with a scarlet felt blanket and playing cards alone. Seeing them come in, he was very happy, and said to a woman wearing a crow-blue lake silk bibi and a white threaded skirt beside her: "You can go, I have someone to accompany me now, ......" and then beckoned to Zhou Shaojin with a smile, "Second girl, sit next to me." ”

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly said: "Lao Anren, I don't know how to play cards!" My sister plays cards with you! ”

"That's it!" Lao An was a little disappointed, but soon became happy again, and asked the woman and Zhou Chujin, "You all sit down." We'll take advantage of the fact that they are listening to the book and playing a few more games, and when the show is over, you will all have to go back again. ”

The two smiled and said yes and sat down.

Another little maid brought a stool over to Zhou Shaojin and Miss Seventeen.

The other corner is a maid, who looks like she is also in her early twenties, and Miss Seventeen whispered to her: "This is the eldest maid next to my great-grandmother." ”

Zhou Shaojin guessed too, otherwise it would be impossible to accompany Lao Anren to play cards.

Mama Miao sat behind Lao An and helped Lao An look at the cards.

Miss Seventeen pointed to the woman and Zhou Shaojin and whispered, "...... It's my aunt, ranked thirteenth, and after my uncle died, my great-grandmother took the thirteenth aunt back. Our sisters all read with her. ”

Another Liao Zhangying.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Lao Anren, who was playing cards, suddenly said to Zhou Chujin: "Shiro just came over, do you know?" ”

Zhou Shaojin immediately reacted that Lao An was referring to Cheng Chi, and Zhou Chujin reacted after a while, and said with a smile: "We watched Miss Sixteen insert hairpins in front, and I didn't know that Uncle Chi had come over." Is there anything wrong with him coming? ”

Lao Anren's eyes smiled when he heard this, and said: "When he heard my nagging, he paid attention and helped our nineteen mothers find a secret marriage......

Uncle Chi...... Introduce people to the secret marriage......

Zhou Shaojin felt that she couldn't hold it anymore.

Zhou Chujin was even more dumbfounded.

The sisters couldn't help but exchange a look.

Lao An didn't notice these at all, and said to himself: "The other party is also a scholar, he died when he was nineteen years old, he has a lot of family resources, and he is ready to give them incense with his step-son......"

Very satisfied.

The Zhou sisters couldn't say a word.

Gu Sanniang said softly: "Grandmother will talk about this every time she sees your uncle...... She is very old, and we can only let her old man be happy. ”

Zhou Shaojin expressed understanding.

But Uncle Chi helped with this...... She felt a sense of disobedience.

Aju beckoned to them outside the window.

Zhou Shaojin and Miss Seventeen sat for a while, and then made an excuse to sneak out.

Azhu giggled and said, "Let's go to the garden." ”

Today, there are a lot of guests from the Gu family, including Wu Baozhang who makes her wary, and there are also people like Miss Sun who take the initiative to show favor and go to the garden, who knows who she will meet?

She said, "Why don't we just sit in the yard and talk?" ”

In this way, my sister would not have had a hard time finding her.

At first glance, Azhu is the kind of person who rarely has playmates, as long as someone accompanies him, it is fine.

She answered immediately.

Zhou Shaojin looked at Miss Seventeen.

Miss Seventeen was also very easy-going, and immediately smiled: "Okay! Then I'll ask the maids to bring us a few bamboo chairs, make a pot of tea, and serve some snacks and fruits. ”

Ajulian claimed "good".

Zhou Shaojin thought of Cheng Ji and said, "I have a cousin who is very similar to Azhu's temperament, and I have the opportunity to introduce you to each other." ”

"Yes, yes!" Azhu smiled and nodded.

The maids served refreshments, and Seventeen Niang told Ah Zhu that Cheng Chi had introduced a secret marriage to her aunt who had died young.

Ah Zhu exclaimed: "Cheng Zichuan is really amazing!" As if nothing could bother him. ”

Cheng Chi Zichuan.

Since Azhu knew his words, even those who didn't know him should have heard of his reputation.

Zhou Shaojin said: "You know Uncle Chi. ”

"Hmm!" Ah Zhu smiled, "Once my brother was going to play in Qinhuai River, my father knew about it, but he was not allowed." But my brother said that he was going with Cheng Zichuan, and my father immediately agreed. My mother knew, so she said to her mother: I said how Pengju changed his sex, went to Qinhuai River, didn't go secretly, and told Grandpa Guo that he dared to love under the sign of Cheng Siye! She imitated the way the Duchess of Liangguo spoke, and said with a lovely smile, "I paid attention to it at the time, and when my brother came back, I ran to the gate to take a look." He is not as handsome as my brother, but he is very good, very kind, and patient, and never loses his temper, unlike my brother, who will throw me out at every turn, and then let me kneel in the ancestral hall......"

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but nod when he thought of Cheng Chi's appearance.

She also thinks that Cheng Chi is a very gentle person.

"But," Aju said, cupping her cheeks, "a secret marriage...... I've never seen it before," she asked Zhou Shaojin, "You say, if I ask your uncle to take me to see the excitement, will he agree?" ”

"Probably not!" Zhou Shaojin muttered, "It's quite lively when we look at this matter, maybe the two families who held the secret marriage are quite sad." I always feel a little disrespectful when I look at it like this! ”

Miss Seventeen agreed, and said, "I heard from the people in my family that Aunt Nineteen is very smart, and my grandfather said more than once that it would be nice if Aunt Nineteen was a boy. When Aunt Nineteen died, my grandmother turned white overnight......"

Ah Zhu nodded, but still couldn't help but say, "When the time comes, I'll ask Cheng Zichuan, maybe he will take me?" ”

Miss Seventeen disagreed.

Ah Zhu looked around, and saw that the maid and the maid were far away, so he leaned in front of the two of them and said, "In a few days, my father will take my brother into Beijing!" ”

Zhou Shaojin and Miss Seventeen are not ordinary girls, so they naturally know the rule that the vassal king cannot enter Beijing without an edict, and they are both surprised.

Ah Zhu said: "I heard my mother say that there is a man named Liu Yong who is the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the eunuch Bingbi, do you know what the eunuch Bingbi does?" is to help the emperor approve the red, and the big scholars in the cabinet have to look at his eyes...... After he became a eunuch of Bingbi, he told the emperor that the vassal kings of various places had not entered Beijing for more than ten years to worship, and the emperor probably didn't know the sons who grew up in the vassal kings' mansions. Therefore, the emperor asked the vassal kings from all over the country to enter Beijing in batches. My dad and my brother were in the first group and left in September. My mother said, my father thinks that the Cheng family's business in the capital can be so big, your uncle must be very familiar with the officials of the DPRK and China, and wants to invite your uncle to go with him...... I don't want him to do anything, as long as he encounters something and report to my father, so that my father can be prepared......"

I'm afraid that's not right, right?

The emperor was most taboo for Beijing officials to make friends with vassal kings, and he also tabooed vassal kings to make friends with local gentry. What's more, the Cheng family is not only an official in the temple, but also a century-old family in Jinling...... In his previous life, Cheng's house was raided, so it wouldn't have anything to do with it, right?

Zhou Shaojin said: "The Cheng family's business in the capital is so big, it should be the credit of Uncle Jing, right?" It shouldn't have much to do with Uncle Chi, right? ”

Azhu was stunned, and then laughed.

It was as if she had said something very funny.

Leaning back and forth with a smile.

Miss Seventeen also laughed, a little better than Azhu, she just covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.

Sisters, today's update.
