Chapter 334: Tangled
Cheng Chi smiled: "She is so good at being in the limelight. If I were you, I would have instigated the Wu family to send rice cakes to each room, preferably on a day like the Chung Yeung Festival in early September. In private, he instructed the kitchen in the outer courtyard to also make rice cakes as cakes for the banquet that day. Let the rice cakes made by the Wu family be served on the table first, and then go to the rice cakes made in the kitchen when everyone has said that they are good - the cooking in the kitchen of the outer courtyard is mostly based on the taste of our family, and your maid has learned to make rice cakes with her, and it is too easy to do tricks and feet in this regard. The Wu family suffered this loss, so naturally they would not dare to show off lightly in the future. ”
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but high-five, and said happily: "This is a good idea!" Then he hesitated a little and said, "Can we calculate Wu Baozhang like this?" ”
She's grown up and she's never dug a hole like this.
Cheng Chi said: "A person like her, if you teach her a lesson, will she not violate the river water with you from now on?" ”
Of course not.
In her previous life, she endured it many times, and later made a stumbling block for her, but Wu Baozhang not only did not restrain and let her go, but also rimmed and teased her even harder, but the elders felt that Wu Baozhang was gentle and generous, she couldn't even sue her, and then simply broke off contact with Wu Baozhang, and threatened Cheng Ji not to allow her to interact with Wu Baozhang, Cheng Ji saw that she really didn't like Wu Baozhang, and gradually became estranged from Wu Baozhang.
Zhou Shaojin shook his head with a smile.
Cheng Chi said: "This is to rise first and then suppress." ”
Zhou Shaojin nodded again and again.
But this method can only be done by Uncle Chi, right?
Her eyes flickered, and she said, "But how can I get the kitchen people to do what I say?" ”
Cheng Chi laughed and said, "Figure out your own way?" ”
The faint helplessness revealed between his eyebrows made Zhou Shaojin's heart thump.
She giggled, her eyes were bright, and she couldn't say how pretty she was, "I'll just say that Uncle Chi asked me to tell them." ”
Cheng Chi didn't expect her to answer herself like this, and was slightly stunned.
Since he started to be in charge, I don't know how many people have acted under his banner. But no one dared to say it in front of him like Zhou Shaojin, and there was no one like Zhou Shaojin who not only did not feel disgusted, but found it very interesting.
"Okay!" He looked very generous and said, "As long as you can convince the kitchen people that I mean." ”
Zhou Shaojin smiled slyly.
In these days in the long house, she fully realized the famous saying "rules are dead, people are alive".
It stands to reason that the people in the inner courtyard should instruct the kitchen in the outer courtyard to do things, and there must be a pair of cards. But the masters in the kitchen of the outer courtyard all have their own accounts in their hearts, as long as they don't get involved in the accounts, those masters are still very willing to do things for her, the "sojourner" in the long house.
At that time, she only needs to say that she wants to honor Mrs. Guo, no, now she will say that she is filial to Uncle Chi, and let the Spring Festival Gala take the silver to serve rice cakes to the people in the kitchen, and no one in the kitchen is so rigid.
Even if someone asks afterwards, she has Mrs. Guo as a backer, and most of those masters will be cautious.
It's just that in this way, her reputation among women and servants is not so good.
But it's not impossible.
I add it when I plan the menu.
In this way, others will think that the two rice cakes just accidentally bumped into each other.
Zhou Shaojin thought this idea was very good.
She couldn't wait to tell Cheng Chi about her idea.
The little girl finally learned to use her brain.
Cheng Chi had a look of relief in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad!" It can be seen that this jade is not a weapon! ”
Zhou Shaojin's face turned red, as if he didn't hear, and said loudly: "Then do it according to your idea." ”
I don't know why, but now she hopes more and more that Cheng Chi won't treat her as a child.
Cheng Chi reminded her: "You can instigate the Wu family in private, but don't let people see it." If you feel that you can't do it, discuss it with your nurse Fan Liu, I think she is quite clever in dealing with people, and I just want to see if she is someone to rely on.
Fan Liu is of course the most reliable person!
Zhou Shaojin smiled and nodded, frowned and said distressedly: "However, my cousin got married on the tenth day of September, and the old lady said that everyone will not get together during today's Double Ninth Festival...... Am I still agonizing about this? It was the old lady's birthday, and the old lady couldn't suppress the limelight of her cousin, so she didn't have to go to Jiashutang early in the morning to help on this year's birthday. You said, we ate Shou noodles with the old lady in the morning and then went out? Or should you come back in the evening and celebrate the old lady? The tenth day of the new year is the positive period, and it is estimated that we should be able to come back early on the evening of the ninth day of the new year! ”
Cheng Chi listened to her chatter, and felt that the silent study room was alive.
He couldn't help laughing and said: "Then we will get up in the morning and accompany the old lady to eat longevity noodles and then go to Jiashutang, and when we come back in the evening, we will set a table for the old lady and have a banquet, and our family will be lively." ”
At that time, the results of Qiu Yu had already come out, and the marriage between the Cheng family and the Min family should also be booked, and he just sent the Yuan family and Cheng Xu to the capital, and the little maid could also sit down for a meal with peace of mind.
Zhou Shaojin nodded again and again with a smile, carefully approached Cheng Chi, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Chi, what gift did you prepare for the old lady?" ”
Cheng Chi looked interesting, and he also followed her example and carefully lowered his head, and whispered: "I can't sue you!" If I sue you, and you give the old lady the gift I bought, and give it to the old lady in advance, what should I do? ”
Zhou Shaojin blinked, and then realized that Cheng Chi was joking with her.
Her heart couldn't stop flying, and she smiled and whispered, "Uncle Chi is still afraid that I will rob you of your credit?" ”
Cheng Chi was about to speak, when Qingfeng came in and said, "Fourth master, the uncle is here, saying that he has something important to see you." ”
Zhou Shaojin shouted "hate" in his heart.
I can't continue to talk to Uncle Chi now!
Her face sank, and before Cheng Chi could speak, she stood up and said, "Then I'll go first!" Then he ran out the back door in a puff of smoke.
Cheng Chi smiled and shook his head.
This little girl doesn't hide it at all in front of him.
He smiled and instructed Qingfeng to invite Cheng Xu in.
After a while, Cheng Xu wore a lotus blue Hangzhou silk jacket, his posture was tall, and he walked in with a lofty attitude.
"Fourth uncle!" He saluted Cheng Chi and said with a puzzled look in his eyes, "I, I seem to have seen Miss Zhou Jia'er just now......"
Cheng Chi's study has a back door, but Tingli Pavilion does not have a back door, and you can only go in and out through the Ruyi door in front.
Zhou Shaojin may have been in a hurry, although he did not meet Cheng Xu head-on, he still confirmed his whereabouts in Cheng Xu's eyes.
He laughed, "She came to me to ask about something." ”
Cheng Xu waited.
But there is no follow-up.
He couldn't help but hurriedly say, "What is the second Miss Zhou family looking for you?" How could she come to you? ”
That's it, as if Zhou Shaojin shouldn't be here.
Cheng Chi felt a faint displeasure in his heart, and said coldly: "What are you looking for me?" ”
Cheng Xu didn't take it to heart.
Cheng Chi has always been so cold to people.
He hurriedly said: "Fourth uncle, when I was in the capital, I met the uncle of the Min family, Master Min Jianxing, and he admired you very much. A few days ago, he wrote to me, asking me to greet you on his behalf, saying that if you go to the capital, you must go to his house as a guest. I have something I want to ask Lord Min, can you ......" his tone paused slightly, "Can you help me talk about Xiang ...... in front of Lord Min?"
Cheng Chi didn't make a sound, just looked at the person quietly.
The calm eyes are indifferent.
Cheng Xu uneasily picked up the teacup and drank several sips of tea.
Cheng Chi asked him: "How do you know that Mrs. Guan intends to leave the second miss of the Zhou family in Jiashutang!" ”
Cheng Xu was shocked, stood up suddenly, and said, "Fourth uncle, there is no such thing!" ”
"Oh!" Cheng Chi raised his eyebrows and said, "It turns out that I misunderstood." As soon as I heard that your father had introduced Cheng Yi to the family affair without consulting me, I thought it was your mother's idea. Unexpectedly, it was you who wrote a letter to your mother, instigating your father to Cheng Yibao. I wondered, who knew that the second miss of the Zhou family might report to you after marrying Cheng Yi? ”
Cheng Xu closed his mouth tightly and did not make a sound.
Cheng Chi's eyes flashed with a little disdain, and said, "Is it Cheng Cheng who told you?" ”
If it weren't for hiding from Mrs. Guo and preventing Mrs. Guo from discovering Cheng Xu's love for Zhou Shaojin, how would he admit this bad debt!
Cheng Xu lowered his head.
Silently admitted.
Cheng Chi only felt upset when he looked at it.
It seems that he still looks down on Cheng Xu and looks down on Cheng Xu!
With Wu Baozhang's help, Cheng Xu was able to find out about him, he had expected it a long time ago, but he didn't expect that Cheng Lu would have the heart to disturb Cheng Xu's mind when he was desperate and anxious, so that Cheng Xu knew that Mrs. Guan intended to match Zhou Shaojin Xu to Cheng Yi, so he wrote a letter to question Yuan and ask Yuan for help.
Yuan's is even more outrageous, in order to appease Cheng Xu, she didn't know anything and instigated her eldest brother Cheng Jing to come forward to be a matchmaker for Cheng Yi, and took a girl's marriage as a child's play, did she think about Zhou Shaojin's feelings?
It can be seen that it is not unreasonable for Zhou Shaojin to escape from the Cheng family in his previous life.
That's not what makes him the most angry.
Cheng Lu and he are opposed, so they will naturally find a way to calculate Cheng Xu; Yuan and Cheng Xu are mother and son, and they should help their son.
What makes him most angry is the eldest brother Cheng Jing!
He told Cheng Jing early in the morning not to come forward to protect Cheng Yi in person, and he had already made arrangements in this matter. But Cheng Jing was blown by his wife's pillow wind, so he left his advice behind him and played a bad game!
Now that the marriage between Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Yi is not completed, the Yuan family will definitely propose the marriage to the Min family again in the near future.
Cheng Xu will definitely not agree.
He wants to see, what is Yuan going to do?
Cheng Chi was indescribably disappointed in his heart.
Mother once asked the eldest brother and second brother to swear in front of their father that they would be good to him in this life and this life!
But in front of the Yuan family, the eldest brother still didn't keep what he promised in the end.
Cheng Chi's mind suddenly appeared with Zhou Shaojin lying on the door, stretching out half of his face, carefully looking at himself...... A warm current flowed through his heart.
Or in this world, this little man is the only one who has believed in him from beginning to end, the only one who has never doubted himself.
Cheng Chi's gaze at Cheng Xu was a little colder.
He asked Cheng Xu in a smooth voice: "Then do you know Cheng Xu's intentions?" ”
