It was precisely because of her and her son that Cheng Chi slyly asked the chief manager of Qin to renovate the old mansion.

Zhou Shaojin muttered in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything to Ji Ying, and the slightly embarrassed look fell into Ji Ying's eyes, and it became helpless.

Ji Ying has always liked Zhou Shaojin very much, so naturally she doesn't want to embarrass her. Quite regretting her quick words, she immediately suppressed her dissatisfaction with Cheng Chi in her heart, and told her about her coming to Beijing: "Anyway, if you have anything to remember to tell me in the future." Qin Ziping is about to be transferred to Shuntianfu to be a catcher, the elders bought us a small house with two entrances in Xizhimen, and I am almost busy with things, and in the future, I can only take the children at home to do needlework, if you don't go to my door, I'm afraid I won't even have someone to talk to...... You'd better go to my place often. ”

There is Mrs. Guo here in Chaoyangmen, there is a difference between master and servant, the Qin family has been a servant of the Cheng family for so many years, and these juniors can't say that they don't want to make a big salute when they see Mrs. Guo, but every time they are so respectful, Jiying feels uncomfortable.

Zhou Shaojin understood her thoughts, pursed her lips and smiled, and responded briskly.

Because there were still guests in the flower hall and Tingxiang Courtyard, Zhou Shaojin said a few words to her, and was about to get up to entertain the guests.

"I'll stay and take care of Brother Yun for you." Ji Ying and those people don't know each other, and Brother Yun is rare, and he doesn't want to go over.

Zhou Shaojin said: "When he wakes up, I have to hold it and show it to the old lady and Scholar Wu." ”

"Then let him 'sleep' more." Ji Hotaru said disapprerovingly, "The gongs and drums are noisy outside." Aren't you afraid of scaring our Brother Yun? ”

"He's never been afraid of that." Zhou Shaojin said that when he took him out during the bathing festival a few days ago, he passed by a temple to do things, and it was crowded, and he twisted his body to go over to see the excitement, so as not to let him still be angry.

"Then I should take care of it." Ji Ying just likes Brother Yun, "Today is his birthday, the child is not sensible, if he makes a fuss, he will have no manners!" ”

This kind of thing is said.

Zhou Shaojin smiled.

looked at the seven or eight maids who served Brother Yun'er, and agreed: "Then let's talk about it, if he makes a noise, you can quickly send someone to find me, this kid is sometimes a little tough." ”

"Yes. Know. Ji Hotaru hurriedly drove her away. looks like she's afraid that she will regret it, and thinks that with her skills, she can't coax a child?

Zhou Shaojin shook his head with a smile and went to Tingxiang Courtyard, only saying that Brother Yun got up too early today. I'm still asleep. I can't wake up.

Those old ladies and old ladies are only afraid of arguing with Brother Yun. They all asked her to stop hanging around here and go back to take care of Brother Yun.

Zhou Shaojin now knows how to speak, and said with a smile: "Brother Yun is asleep." I'm here to spend more time with you. ”

Mrs. Guo and the others laughed, and Mrs. Peng Cheng waved her hand at her and said, "You go and get busy with you, your mother-in-law doesn't have to worry about it here, a few of us old things are just talking about ourselves." ”

Several other old ladies also told her to "go straight to work".

Zhou Shaojin arranged the tea and snacks in Tingxiang Courtyard, and then went to the water pavilion.

The opera troupe invited today is the "Yongchang Hao" who went into the palace a few days ago to sing for the queen mother and the queen, recommended by Mrs. Pengcheng, the little lotus who sings Danjiao is said to be the first singer in the capital, both in appearance and singing skills are very beautiful, and the "garden" is ordered, and the wives and grandmothers present are fascinated, and no one notices that Zhou Shaojin is not there.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that Mrs. Peng Cheng was a little cautious to ask her when the Cheng family would start to run the clan study, she was a little embarrassed. felt that after Cheng Shao got married, this matter would urge Cheng Chi to come forward and discuss with Cheng Shao what to do.

Brother Yun didn't "wake up" until Shen Zheng in the afternoon, and Ji Ying hugged him to the Water Pavilion to find Zhou Shaojin. After the crowd teased the child, they had an evening feast. Brother Yun opened his arms and shouted "Auntie", wanting to collect fireflies.

Zhou Shaojin was quite surprised.

Brother Yun smiles at everyone on weekdays, but when it comes to the lamp, he has to return to the house, except for Zhou Shaojin, Cheng Chi and Mrs. Guo, even his own nurse doesn't want it.

Ji Ying happily hugged Brother Yun.

Zhou Shaojin curiously asked Brother Yun'er who was serving: "What's going on?" ”

Brother Yun'er's nurse said with some trepidation: "Mrs. Qin San took Uncle Yun to see the swallow's nest in front of the hall in the afternoon, and also dug the land in the back garden for Brother Yun to feed the swallows......"

Zhou Shaojin was sweating.

She knew that Brother Yun wouldn't like Jihotaru for no reason.

But Brother Yun is a boy, so it shouldn't be okay to be naughty, right?

It was Zhou Chujin, who saw that Brother Yun actually got a piece of play with Ji Ying, who had just met, and strangely came over to ask how he painted it.

Zhou Shaojin didn't want to tell her sister what Ji Ying did, so she prevaricated a few words and asked about Zhou Chujin's return to Zhenjiang: "...... I've prepared some things, and you can help me take them to Jinling for my grandmother when the time comes. ”

It is not easy for Jinling to come to the capital once, this time for Brother Yun'er's first birthday, Zhou Shaojin only wrote a letter to the past, and did not invite them, but they sent someone to send a courtesy.

Zhou Chujin nodded, and pulled Zhou Shaojin aside to speak: "I heard your brother-in-law say that Cheng Zhi and Cheng Zheng are both here, and they introduce themselves to the Cheng family in front of others...... How did they get back? ”

"Don't talk about them," Zhou Shaojin said with a wry smile, "It's the Hong family's grandmother Hong, that is, Cheng Shi's aunt, who is also here." The fourth master said that we just took this opportunity to put the relationship in order -- relatives are relatives, and acquaintances are acquaintances. So when I didn't know that Cheng Zhi and Cheng Zheng were coming, and when I went out to toast, I met the two of them, and I only thought that the two of them were uninvited and showed surprise, so that everyone knew about it. As for saying that they have to go to Chaoyangmen, the fourth master is an elder, so just let them come over. But it's impossible to talk to them for anything. The people in the capital are all human spirits, and after a few times, I will understand in my heart. However, the Hong family is a little troublesome, and it is implied that Cheng Xulao, who is in the second room, is confused, and Hong Guozhen is also a little tired of the fourth master in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which makes the fourth master feel that the Hong family is not simple. may have dealings with the Hong family. This time, Grandma Hong came over and arranged for her and Mrs. Song to sit at three tables. ”

"After all, Hong Guozhen's grandfather is a person who has been the imperial envoy of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the fourth master is also in the Metropolitan Procuratorate now, looking up and not looking down, the Hong family can be careful, the fourth master is indeed not good to throw his face to the people of the Hong family." Zhou Chujin was still a little worried, and said, "But you can't get too close, so as not to give birth to any demon moths." ”

"The fourth master said the same." Zhou Shaojin smiled, "I ignored it." Now it's the reason. Just walk around as a normal colleague. The fourth master is not the kind of person who is angry and silent. ”

Zhou Chujin wanted Liao Shaotang to come back and tell him that Cheng Chi was low-key and introverted in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and did not speak, but he acted very responsibly, and his reputation was very good. A fourth-grade Metropolitan Inspectorate, the left and right Imperial History, is more effective than the Metropolitan Inspectorate of the second grade, and sometimes it works...... She smiled and said nothing.

Wait for Brother Yun to finish the first birthday ceremony. Zhou Shaojin has cleaned up and stopped. sent Ma Ci over to get the things that Zhou Shaojin brought to Jinling.

Ma Ci is now the chief steward of Elm Hutong. Compared with the one who first came to Beijing, he looked more and more stable, wearing a cocoon silk straight jacket and a jade jade pendant. His eyes are shrewd and exposed, and he doesn't know how to look at it carefully, and he thinks he is the big shopkeeper in which shop in Beijing.

Zhou Shaojin asked him a few words, and asked Jixiang to call Fan Qi to come in and accompany Ma Ci to move things.

Fan Qi has not been bad over the years, first followed Xiang as a steward, and then followed Qin Ziji, although he did not be a steward in the Cheng family, but Zhou Shaojin's dowry was all handed over to him, his brother Fan Lu honestly farmed at home, and the silver that Fan Qi brought home helped Fan Qi buy land, and there were hundreds of acres in total. Fan's mother spoke, saying that these lands are cultivated by Fan Lu on weekdays, and the grain is also obtained by Fan Lu, but when Fan Qi becomes a relative, the two brothers will have to settle the account, and Fan Lu should not pay a penny less in rent. also begged Zhou Shaojin, if it can be done, let Zhou Shaojin help Fan Lu and Fan Qi to guide their families, the implication is that he wants his two sons to marry the maid next to Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin is happy to see it, but the two of them are still young, and they are not in a hurry.

Seeing off Zhou Chujin, Zhou Shaojin began to prepare wholeheartedly to participate in Cheng Shao's wedding.

Who knew that at this time, Chaoyangmen received the news of the death of Song Jingran's father, Mrs. Song.

"What can I do?" Zhou Shaojin hurriedly changed his clothes and said to Cheng Chi, "Before Brother Yun'er's first birthday, I took Brother Yun to see his old man's house, so how can I say that I went?" ”

"It's too hot." Cheng Chi's face was also a little bad, and he said, "I feel cold when I put ice, and I feel hot when I don't put ice, and it's hard for people who are not in good health to stand it." He told Zhou Shaojin, "Brother Yun is still too young, don't take him over, just let him play in the house." ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded, thinking about the first time he saw Old Lady Song and Cheng Chi calculating the water level on the boat, tears couldn't help but fall.

Cheng Chi sighed, helped Zhou Shaojin into the sedan chair, and went to Song Jingran's house.

The Song family has gone from red to white.

Because the friendship between Cheng Chi and Mrs. Song is not ordinary, the Song family immediately reported to Cheng Chi after Mrs. Song's death without waiting for a small funeral, and no one came to mourn when they went, but they met Song Jingran who came back from the palace at the door.

Because he wanted to face the saint, Song Jingran was still wearing an official uniform, but his expression was haggard and his complexion was very bad.

When he saw Cheng Chi, he beckoned to Cheng Chi, and while motioning for him to follow him, he said: "I have already gone to see the emperor just now, the emperor wants to win the favor, I politely refused, and from tomorrow onwards I will start to defend the system." The emperor wanted me to do arithmetic with the grandson of the Pope before, but this time the emperor brought up the old matter, and I recommended you. It may be two days before the will will come down......"

"Lecture to the imperial grandson?" Cheng Chi was surprised.

Song Jingran didn't speak, silently took Cheng Chi straight to the study in the outer courtyard, and waited for the little guy to retreat after the refreshments, there was no one else in the house, he said: "Zichuan, I have been gone for two years, don't say two years in the court, that is, there will be a new change in two days, Yang Shoushan was demoted to a commoner, and he will never be hired, Zhang Hui's official eunuch has been up and down for a long time, and he likes to judge the situation, and now I only have you to use......"
