Chapter 371: Arrival in Beijing
The next day, Cheng Chi came to visit Lee.
Li was very surprised, and sent Cheng Chi away and said to Sister Zhou Shaojin: "I really didn't expect to meet Master Cheng Si here." He also went to the capital. We're exactly together. He often walks around the capital and Jinling, and he also has a care on the road. ”
Zhou Chujin's shallow impression of this Uncle Chi is naturally dispensable.
Zhou Shaojin was secretly happy in her heart, and asked Mama Shang to inquire about Xiao Zhenhai at night: "Is he really not right with Uncle Chi?" ”
Yesterday's business, Mama Shang was present. She thought that since the fourth master said that he would talk to the second miss about the Seven Star Hall when he was free, there were some things that she didn't have to hide from the second miss.
She smiled: "The entire Xiao family has surrendered, and only he escaped with a few elders of the Xiao family. The temper of the fourth master is known to the whole world, if you have a hard spirit, you will go all the way to the end, and the fourth master will set up a monument to build a grave for him when he dies. But if you-excellent-excellent-small-say-more-new-most-fastest-www.uuxs.cc-halfway to come and eat inside and outside halfway, it won't end well. ”
Zhou Shaojin said curiously: "What is the end of the failure?" ”
Mama Shang naturally won't tell her the truth.
To tell the truth, a girl like her who grew up in the boudoir is afraid that she will hide in fear when she sees the fourth master from now on.
She smiled: "I just have to punish him well, come and kill the chicken to show the monkey or something." ”
Zhou Shaojin nodded in understanding.
Mama Shang continued to laugh and said, "So Xiao Zhenhai shouldn't be able to play any demon moths." You know, the people in the rivers and lakes are the most face-saving, and if they don't have face, what are the rivers and lakes? ”
What's more, there is the entire Xiao family endorsing him, and he doesn't dare to betray the fourth master.
Zhou Shaojin was still a little worried, and hesitated: "No one will embarrass the fourth master in the future, right?" ”
Mama Shang said with a smile: "The fourth master has been ready to stop a long time ago, otherwise the people who have served around him will not be intermittent in the past few years." Do you remember the crane? Her skills are also very good, she grew up in the Qin family, and she learned the Qin family's inner sect boxing, and she was married to Shen Qiye by the fourth master several times. Otherwise, how could there be no manpower around the fourth master. The fourth master cleaned up these northern rivers and lakes families, it was these two families that just started, and we used to walk around in the south. She said, her eyes puzzled, and said, "I don't know why the fourth master suddenly changed his mind, and where did he choose to live in seclusion before?" ”
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but shrink his shoulders.
If she hadn't said that the Cheng family would be raided, Uncle Chi would have been afraid that he would have lived a leisurely life of idle clouds and wild cranes just like in his previous life. Now because of her words, she has to deal with someone as fierce as Xiao Zhenhai...... She was both terrified and happy. The frightened Cheng Chi made such a big change and sacrifice because of her words, and he was happy that Cheng Chi believed in her so much.
She no longer asked about Cheng Chi, chattering with her sister along the way, teasing Zhou Youjin and playing, feeling that she would soon be in the capital.
Because the Liao family's house and the Cheng family's house were both in the west of the city, they entered the city through the Xizhi Gate.
I had already reported the letter to the city in advance.
Liao Shaotang was waiting for them in a teahouse not far from Xizhimen.
Seeing Cheng Chi and them accompanying him, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and shouted "uncle".
Cheng Chi just nodded with Liao Shaotang and said, "My house is in Yuqian Hutong, not far from you, you can come to me if you have anything difficult!" ”
Liao Shaotang Gong claimed "yes".
Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin and others parted ways in front of Xizhi Gate and took the lead in entering the city.
Zhou Shaojin quietly watched Cheng Chi leave in the carriage, and then his eyes fell on the white marble water-patterned stone carving in the urn city.
She really arrived in the capital!
to the capital where she has lived for almost ten years!
She wants to go to the Jokhang Temple, to Daxing, to the courtyard she rented back then......
Zhou Shaojin lowered the curtain, and his eyes were a little moist.
In her previous life, she was so bitter. But in this life, she met Uncle Chi, and it was so sweet.
Zhou Shaojin ignored Liao Shaotang's objections, and went to squeeze into a horse with Li and Zhou Youjin, so that her sister and brother-in-law could say something considerate.
The house that Mrs. Liao bought for Liao Shaotang and Zhou Chujin is located in Yushu Hutong, the second house, more than a dozen rooms, Zhou Chujin and his wife live very well, and now they live in Li and Zhou Shaojin, which is a little small. Fortunately, there are only five or six serious masters, and the servants can squeeze in, and the small house is also lively.
Li and Zhou Youjin were placed in the East Wing.
Zhou Shaojin was placed in the back cover room.
The one who took them to the wing room was a medium-sized, white and chubby, neatly cleaned up woman in the capital, her husband's surname was Yang, her son Yang Xiaojiu was working as a servant for Liao Shaotang, her husband Yang Sanlang was working as a coachman for Liao Shaotang, and she was responsible for guarding the second gate and running errands for the people in the inner house.
She took a bite of Beijing films, and within a quarter of an hour of meeting, she poured beans into a bamboo tube and explained her origin clearly, and smiled at Zhou Shaojin: "Second Miss has just arrived, you can ask me if you don't know anything, I am a native of Beijing." "Very welcoming.
Zhou Shaojin smiled and bowed his head, didn't say much, and looked at where he lived.
The bluestone floor tiles, burning the earth dragon, afraid that she will not be used to living, there is also a small lacquer bed opposite the big kang near the window, which is exquisite and cute.
My brother-in-law is still like in his previous life, considerate and careful, and thinks about everything.
She asked Fan Liu to reward Yang's mother, cleaned up the room in late spring, and fell on the kang for a while.
Who knew that just when she was about to sleep, Zhou Chujin came over with a big belly.
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly stepped forward to help her sister sit down on the kang, and said coquettishly: "Sister, if you have something to call me over, why do you want to come by yourself?" ”
Zhou Chujin's expression was a little strict, and Zhou Shaojin was drumming in his heart. Not only that, Zhou Chujin sent the servants in the house and said to Zhou Shaojin: "You sit down, I have something to say to you!" ”
Could it be that the east window incident happened at the post station?
Zhou Shaojin was a little uneasy and her sister stood side by side.
Zhou Chujin whispered to her: "Your brother-in-law just told me that Cheng Lu has revolutionized the reputation of Xiucai for his academic and political affairs because of misconduct, and he will never be hired." In order to bribe Xuezheng's brother-in-law, he sold out the family property, and now he doesn't even have a place to live, so he left an old lady in the nunnery and ran away. The Cheng family may want to remove him from the ......"
Zhou Shaojin was taken aback, couldn't hide her astonishment, and said hurriedly: "Sister, what is this all about?" Cheng ...... How could he leave his mother in the nunnery and run away by himself, isn't he the most filial to his mother? And the brother-in-law who bribed Xuezheng, what's going on? If you are a bribe, how can you still be dismissed? ”
"Be quiet!" Zhou Chujin looked around in a hurry, and once again made sure that there was no one, so he whispered, "It was said that Cheng Lu knew that someone wanted to reclaim his talent and fame, so he asked the Dong family to pretend to be sick and ask for leave from Yuelu Academy to return to Jinling." After several dredging failures, he wanted to draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle, and found a way to get acquainted with Xuezheng's brother-in-law, and prepared to pay bribes to Xuezheng's brother-in-law, who knew that Xuezheng's brother-in-law was a bottomless pit, he had to sell the property again and again, until the family's property was sold out, and he could no longer take the silver, so Xuezheng's brother-in-law was relieved and promised to help him. I never thought that he would eventually be stripped of his reputation.
Cheng Lu was not convinced, and went to Xuezheng to settle accounts. Who knew that Xuezheng was furious when he heard this. said that he didn't have a brother-in-law at all, so he asked Cheng Zhen to find a reliable excuse even if he wanted to ruin his reputation, and then drove him out, added a note of misconduct to the reason why Cheng Zhen was dismissed, reported it to the Ministry of Rites, and never hired Cheng Chen.
He was dumbfounded. stumbled out of the Yamen of the Political Secretary, and when I inquired, there was really no brother-in-law in Xuezheng.
Cheng Lu didn't give up, and finally inquired clearly. Where is there any brother-in-law who studies politics? He was deceived!
When the Cheng family heard about it, they wanted to remove his name.
When he heard this, he ran away all night.
"The Dong family looked for him for a few days and didn't find it, but he waited for the person who collected the house.
It turned out that Cheng Lu had pawned the house to others without telling the Dong family. Others were in the way of Jiuru Lane before, and they were forced to do it tightly. Now that Jiu Ruxiang is going to remove Cheng Lu, those people naturally have no scruples.
Dong had no choice but to ask his grandmother.
"People are red and white, unless my grandmother takes out the money to help her redeem the house, what else can she do?
The Dong family cried and grabbed the ground and made a fuss, wanting his grandmother to take him in.
"My grandmother pushed her to the fifth room.
"Aunt Wen has been thinking about it since she put the property under her name in the fourth room, how can she be happy if she has the opportunity not to step on Dong's feet?
Uncle Wen not only did not take her in, but sent the Dong family to the nunnery.
"You know, the nunnery doesn't take people in for nothing.
"Dong now gets up before dawn every year, and then cleans the nunnery with other laymen. She is used to being the wife of the house, where are those who are used to being clever with their hands and feet, and she always waits for others to finish lunch before she goes to eat. The nunnery also had the habit of skipping lunch for lunch, and she was often so hungry that she got up in the middle of the night to drink cold water. After only a few days, the Dong family was so haggard that he couldn't look good...... Now the people in Jinling City are talking about Cheng Lu's unfilial piety! ”
"It's really wicked people who have their own wicked people!" Zhou Shaojin clasped his hands together and said excitedly, "This is also Cheng Yuan's retribution!" ”
Zhou Chujin hesitated for a moment when he heard this, lowered his voice and said, "Shaojin, you say, could this be Uncle Chi's handiwork?" ”
Zhou Shaojin was stunned.
Zhou Chujin pondered and said: "You see, Cheng Zhen is not such a careless person, it is said that he bribed Xuezheng's brother-in-law and had a few words with Xuezheng before, and the people from the Yamen of the Political Department also nodded to him when they met Xuezheng's brother-in-law, otherwise Cheng Zhen would not have been deceived!" I always felt that this was too coincidental and not so simple.
Zhou Shaojin asked meaningfully: "What did the brother-in-law say?" ”
Zhou Chujin glared at her and said, "How can I tell your brother-in-law about this kind of thing?" He just felt a little sorry for Cheng Lu, he actually did such a thing, he couldn't afford a little turmoil, and he was a member of the Cheng family, so he told me about it. ”
Zhou Shaojin smiled wryly.
She is still like in her previous life, and she depends on Liao Shaotang's opinion when she encounters anything.
But I forgot that this life is completely different from the previous life.
She asked Zhou Chujin for what she meant: "Do you want me to ask Uncle Chi?" ”
