Chapter 480: Return to Beijing (For Athena's Addition)
Cheng Chi couldn't cry or laugh when he heard Zhou Shaojin's words, pinched her cheek affectionately, and said with a smile: "How can I listen to your tone of wishing I would be driven home by the imperial court soon?" ”
"Where!" Since Cheng Chi likes to control water, she naturally wants to support it, even if Zhou Shaojin thinks so in her heart, she doesn't dare to say so, "I'm afraid that I will 'suddenly see a strange willow color, and the penitent husband will look for a marquis'." ”
"Speaking of which, you just want me to accompany you!" Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin played with spears and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry." I will take care of you when I go back, and I won't let you have a 'grudge'. ”
The ambiguous, ambiguous tone, the point-of-tease made Zhou Shaojin's ears red.
She didn't know what to say at all, so she fled: "I, I'm going to see if the dry food prepared for you is ready?!" ”
Cheng Chi laughed.
When Zhou Shaojin appeared in front of him again, he couldn't help but hold her in his arms again, and said softly: "I'm sorry, let you go back alone." I have written to my mother, and if you are afraid, I will let her accompany you. If you want to be alone, let Mama Shang accompany you to live in Yuqian Hutong for a few days, and if you have nothing to do, you will go to your sister's house to visit the door. Mother there, I'll say. Let's just say that it is my arrangement, and I will not let my mother be a little dissatisfied with you. You just have to rest assured! ”
Isn't it a wait for a while, this warm embrace will be gone!
Is she going to be alone again?
Zhou Shaojin only had a feeling of parting at this time.
She felt like her tears were about to fall.
"I want to go back to the house in Chaoyangmen." There was their room there, and she became his wife there. She wanted to stay there and stay there, "Mother and Mrs. Yuan don't get along, it's better to let her stay at our house......"
Zhou Shaojin said, and he was a little sympathetic to Mrs. Guo.
Such a strong and compassionate old lady, who is old, but has no place to go, and if she doesn't want to follow the eldest son, she can only succumb to the younger son.
She couldn't help but ask, "Can't Mother live with us?" Do you have to go back to Xinglin Hutong? ”
Cheng Jing is the eldest son, and he is the one who inherits the family business and supports the family. If the family is separated, Mrs. Guo will live with her young son. There will be rumors that Mrs. Guo is dissatisfied with her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law. Yu Chengjing's career is very unfavorable. When it really comes time to split up, based on this, Cheng Jing and Mrs. Yuan will not agree to the separation.
Cheng Chi likes that she calls the house in Chaoyangmen "home", and also likes her to call her mother "mother".
"Then would you like to split up?" Cheng Chi asked her.
Zhou Shaojin hesitated and did not speak.
Of course she was willing to split up.
If you are separated, you don't have to deal with Cheng Xu.
But she knew it. "Parents are here. No separation". What's more, the current long house is different from other families, they have just split up, and she can't affect such a big thing because of her own preferences. didn't realize that she subconsciously felt that Cheng Chi would do something deviant in the eyes of others for her.
Cheng Chi shook his head with a smile and said, "Shaojin, I obviously know your thoughts, do you know why I still ask you?" ”
Zhou Shaojin shook his head.
Cheng Chi sighed: "I want you to know that no matter how unreasonable things are, as long as you want to, you can sue me ......."
It's like when she says she's born again, and Shiro immediately believes it?
Zhou Shaojin buried his head in his arms.
Cheng Chi smiled helplessly but dotingly.
It's a long time to come!
He patiently guarded the flower until she bloomed quietly.
Cheng Chi no longer forced her, but said with a somewhat teasing tone: "I'll give you another idea, if the eldest brother and sister-in-law are unwilling to separate because of their mother's affairs, you can tell the second sister-in-law in private, I'm not at home, you are afraid at home alone, if your mother lives with the eldest brother and sister-in-law, can you take your mother to live in Chaoyangmen, and then when you need to worship your ancestors during the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, your mother will go back to Xinglin Hutong......
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but gently slap Cheng Chi when he heard this, and said coquettishly: "You are so bad!" He supported me to use my second sister-in-law as a gunman. ”
"What do you mean I'm bad?" Cheng Chi said unashamedly, "Even if you want to support your second sister-in-law as a gunman, you have to look forward to the second sister-in-law breaking up as soon as possible!" ”
Zhou Shaojin said: "Let my brother get bigger and bigger." The house on the other side of Xinglin Hutong was originally small, and after the eldest brother entered the cabinet as an auxiliary minister, there were more people coming and going, and I heard that only the outer study room was expanded twice, so that when I let my brother get married, I was afraid that the new house would not be placed? Why didn't the second sister-in-law want to split up. Even if she doesn't divide it herself, she can buy some property for her brother, and let her brother live in Xinglin Hutong aggrievedly when she gets married, but she can think that she can move out at any time, and her heart is more comfortable, even if there are no contradictions, there will be no trouble between them, how can the second sister-in-law be unwilling. ”
Cheng Chi was a little surprised when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you know everything!" ”
Zhou Shaojin glared at him when he heard this, and said, "I'm not a fool, how can I not know!" ”
It's just that she doesn't usually have to worry about it, so she doesn't have to worry about it.
Cheng Chi hugged her with a smile and said, "It's good that you know." You know, I'll be able to go to Jining in peace. ”
Zhou Shaojin reluctantly hugged him, wanting to ask him "When will you come back", the words came to his lips, and he was afraid of delaying Cheng Chi, so he hurriedly swallowed that sentence, just stuck to Cheng Chi's chest nostalgically, listened to the powerful beating sound of "pounding" in his chest, and gently closed his eyes.
Cheng Chi was also reluctant.
He left his mother and home since he was a child, and in his opinion, as long as he is at ease, everywhere is home. He didn't expect that in just a few days, he began to be so nostalgic for the little man in his arms, like a kite that was only dragged by the line, although people were flying freely outside, but the other end of the line was always the direction of his return.
Perhaps, he should really think about how to transfer back to the capital!
The two of them murmured a lot of things that they didn't know, from having dinner every night to going for a walk in the garden to sending a kid to take care of Snowball when the garden was big. It wasn't until Huaishan came to urge, saying that the horse was ready, and if he didn't go on the road, he would miss the lodging, that Zhou Shaojin reluctantly sent Cheng Chi away.
At night, she slept alone on the bed that burned the earth dragon, but she felt so cold that she shivered.
Where did Shiro go?
Did you miss the accommodation?
The wind is so cold at night, will Huaishan give him a hot soup woman?
He has always instructed others to get used to it, and when he went to Jining, would he be impatient when those imperial historians asked?
If he is dismissed from office because of this. Will he feel embarrassed?
Will it ruin his ambition to control the water?
Zhou Shaojin tossed and turned. When there was movement in the courtyard, I was shocked to realize that it was already dark.
She sighed and got up, hastily ate breakfast, and said goodbye to her father and Lee.
Zhou Zhen and Li Shi saw that her face was not good. comforted her one after another: "Zichuan is not the kind of fledgling kid. Know how to advance and retreat. No matter how bad it was, with the support of his eldest brother, he asked for leave and came back to get married. It was reported to the Ministry of Industry, and Yushi will not embarrass him. ”
She knows.
She just misses him!
Zhou Shaojin forced a smile, cheered up and resigned from his father and the Li family, and returned to Beijing under the escort of Qin Yang.
On the way, she was no longer in the mood to enjoy the scenery along the way, she just wanted to hurry back to the capital and return to her and Cheng Chi's home as soon as possible. Several times, because she insisted on hurrying, she missed the post station and stayed in the wild. Fortunately, there are more dignitaries and nobles who come and go on the official road from Baoding to the capital, there are no bandits and horse bandits, Qin Yang has walked with Cheng Chi on the rivers and lakes, and has rich experience in sleeping in the open, knowing that Zhou Shaojin is in a hurry to go home, and the arrangements are proper along the way.
Who knew that Mrs. Guo not only brought Yuan to pick her up, but Qiu and Cheng Wei also arrived.
The Yuan family and the Qiu family are just that, and even Cheng Wei is here, which can be said to have given Zhou Shaojin enough face.
She hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Yuan and Qiu returned the salute, while Cheng Wei avoided the aside.
Mrs. Guo took her hand and said, "What's wrong?" Shiro's letter didn't make it clear either. Why did you call Shiro back and return it in such a hurry......"
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly comforted her mother-in-law and said: "I heard that the imperial court is going to send Yushi over to see the progress of the river work, that is a matter handled by Xianggong, Xianggong knows best, and all Yang Dacai sent someone to Baoding Mansion...... This is also a business matter. You see that my father can't leave when he marries his daughter, and the fourth master can ask for leave to come back and get married, it is already the grace of Lord Yang, Song Ge Lao, and the imperial court, at this time there is something in Jining, how can he stand by and stay out of the matter? Don't be angry. Water control is a major event that benefits the people and benefits the future. You also hope that Shiro will go down in history, right? ”
Old Madam Guo laughed and said, "You kid, if I say one sentence, you have ten sentences waiting for me." You just get used to him coming nonsense, just don't cry in front of me when the time comes! ”
If it was in the past, Zhou Shaojin would definitely say categorically that he would not, and would support Cheng Chi to do whatever he liked. But the separation in the past few days has made her like a heart-eater, and she doesn't dare to guarantee that she won't cry secretly, where do you dare to say something like "no".
She chuckled.
A daughter-in-law is willing to get used to her son, which mother-in-law will be unhappy?
Mrs. Guo complained about her son, and when she heard Zhou Shaojin answer her like this, she was still very happy in her heart, she took Zhou Shaojin's hand and said, "Good boy, it's been hard along the way, let's go back quickly, and you can rest comfortably." ”
Zhou Shaojin obediently responded "yes", supported Mrs. Guo, and got into Mrs. Guo's carriage.
Yuan glanced at Zhou Shaojin's carriage and said to Qiu disappreciatively: "None of us will be at home in a few days if we don't get married......
Qiu Shi hurriedly smiled: "The fourth brother and sister are young! ”
"We weren't much older than her then, were we?" Yuan said lightly.
Revealing a slight dissatisfaction.
Qiu was silent.
Yuan sneered in his heart.
She has been with Qiu's concubine for so many years, and she hasn't heard a word from her mouth that anyone is bad.
It can be seen how defensive she is against herself!
Such a concubine, it's better to have less contact!
Yuan thought and turned to get into his carriage.
Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
It was decided that it would be better to move out sooner.
The fourth brother and sister have just gotten married, and I'm afraid that there will be trouble in the future.
She's struggling now, and when she gets there, she's definitely going to be caught in the middle and not human.
