If his guess is true, then what happened to make Cheng Chi leave the Cheng family after Mrs. Guo died?

Freezing three feet, not a day's cold.

Zhou Shaojin thought of the suppression of Cheng Chi by the ancestor of the second room, and thought of Cheng Chi's behavior...... If Cheng Chi had a plan to leave the Cheng family at this time, then it would be reasonable. Including his indifference to Cheng Xu, the placement of the servants around him, and his plans for his marriage...... They all have the answers.

She even thought that if it were herself, she would probably do the same.

Since you have decided to leave, the less worries you have, the better, and the more distant your feelings are, the better.

Zhou Shaojin was thinking about it, and was patted on the shoulder.

"What do you think?" Ji Hotaru's cold face appeared in front of her eyes, "You didn't respond to calling you several times." ”

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly smiled apologetically at her.

Ji Ying said: "I can't drink today's wine - I'm grounded and can't step out of this threshold; You can't dig it. Only when Qin Ziping came over in the evening, he asked him to help. ”

Zhou Shaojin was also in no mood to drink with Ji Ying, left the crab, made an appointment to come back tomorrow, and returned to Wanxiangju.

And in Lixuezhai, which is not far from here, Cheng Chi is looking at the account book.

He asked Huai Shan, who was standing in front of his bookcase with his hands folded and sleeves: "What do the second masters of the Thirteen Lines of Guangdong say?" ”

Huaishan said respectfully: "Said that this year I received the nine-sided salary, to advance a percent, for a time can not take out so much cash, can you take half of the first, the remaining half of them with Guangdong, Panyu, Foshan, Huizhou four branches as a guarantee, according to the three points of interest, in two years to pay ......off."

"No way!" Before Huaishan's words were finished, Cheng Chi, who had turned a page of account books, had already resolutely interrupted his words and said, "Tell them, let one point be paid in full, if they still can't get the silver, just talk back to the Fujian Anjia family and ask them to prepare the silver." ”

Huaishan couldn't help but say: "Fourth master, the four branches of Guangdong, Panyu, Foshan, and Huizhou are the earliest semicolons of the Thirteen Lines, and they are also the faces of the Thirteen Lines. They took these four branches as guarantees, apparently with the intention of taking our ship over. And I also inquired clearly, the Thirteen Lines this time in order to pick up the nine sides of the silver and the capital Yongfusheng fought a lose-lose situation, this errand down, it must be a loss, just see how much you lose. Why are you aggressive? The big shopkeeper of the thirteen lines is a character. However, the Fujian Anjia family was founded by colluding with the Japanese bandits, and the money in their hands was not clean. In case the court finds out, it's very troublesome......"

"Huaishan!" Cheng Chi put down the account book in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, and said, "We need cash, I don't have time to wait for him for two years." Two years, too much has changed. I don't want to wait any longer! ”

"Fourth Master!" Huaishan lowered his head in some shame.

Cheng Chi looked at it, stood up, walked to his side, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "I know that you are for my good, and I hope I can still be my merry and famous man in this prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River in the name of the fourth master of the Cheng family." But I'm tired of it. I want to drink a pot of turbid wine and wake up in the wind and sand of the desert; Make a pot of tea and listen to the tide of the waves......

"Fourth Master!" Huai Shan raised his head a little excitedly, his eyes were slightly moist, and said, "Don't say it, I'll go and inform Fujian to settle down!" ”

Cheng Chi's hand resting on Huaishan's shoulder paused slightly, and said, "Forget it!" You have a point. The An family is too arrogant, and sooner or later something will happen, and it will not be good if the Cheng family is implicated. Go and tell the second master of the Thirteen Lines, and do what they said before, pay half of the silver first, and settle it after two years. ”

"Fourth Master!" Huaishan's eyes widened in surprise.

What Cheng Chi decides will rarely change.

"Or maybe it's because I'm getting older and softer." Cheng Chi also knew, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "I can ignore others, but I can't ignore my mother." This thing...... That's it. ”

Huai Shan nodded, and hesitated: "Fourth master, ...... over there with Miss Jiying"

"You mean the Mao Ji rice shop." Cheng Chi said lightly, turned around and sat down on the Taishi chair behind the bookcase again, and said, "Just let people follow that little guy." Even if Ji Ying doesn't know what to do, the Ji family will not be confused. Otherwise, he would not have drawn a clear line with the Jiao family in the first place. However, this incident also reminded me, the second cousin of the Zhou family, you send someone to touch her details. can instruct Ji Hotaru to help her run errands, but I'm afraid it's not a simple character. ”

He thought of how many times she approached him, and thought that she was just the curiosity of the little girl's family. Now, it seems that it may not be.

Cheng Chi's eyes were slightly condensed, and his eyebrows were as sharp as a sword.

Huaishan's body was shocked, he lowered his head as if he didn't dare to look directly, and said, "I'll arrange it", bowed and retreated to the door, and then left.

Cheng Chi sat alone in the room, watching the light in the room dim little by little, only until the darkness enveloped him.

The next day, Zhou Shaojin didn't go to Jiying to eat crabs.

Because Lan Ting was clamoring to see her, he also started a hunger strike for this.

Zhou Chujin was very irritable, and said to the Ma Fushan family who came to report the news: "If she is willing to die, she will die a long time ago, you don't have to worry about her, you just send three meals a day, whether she eats or not is her own business." ”

Zhou Shaojin felt that this was not a problem, thought about it, and said, "I'll go see her!" ”

Zhou Chujin disagreed, and said, "She just wants to force you to see her." ”

Zhou Shaojin knew that everyone thought she was a soft persimmon, and they came to her if it didn't work with her sister. In her previous life, she shook her head all the time, but in this life, she couldn't push all these things onto her sister, so that her sister had the notoriety of "unfilial piety".

What's more, this incident is also because of her!

"Didn't she keep doing her mother's bidding?" Zhou Shaojin said to her sister, "Then let's make it clear and see how my mother told her at the beginning." Whatever my mother told us, we did. It's not my mother's confession, and we can't just let her mess around. Otherwise, what about those mothers who have milked us? ”

Zhou Chujin heard that this was reasonable, and couldn't help but look at her sister with a smile: "It's okay." I'll go with you. You talk to her, and I listen from behind the screen. ”

My sister is still afraid that she will be fooled.

But that's a big step forward.

Zhou Shaojin nodded with a smile, and after explaining the reason to Mrs. Guan, accompanied by Ma Fushan's family, he returned to the ancestral house of the Zhou family with Zhou Chujin.

Ma Fushan's family placed Lan Ting in the wing room behind the upper room, and arranged for a maid and a mother-in-law to "serve" her.

In her previous life, Zhou Shaojin's impression of Lan Ting was only limited to the matter of "going to the mother and leaving the child", but when she saw it in this life, she couldn't help but look at her carefully.

He looks no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair and smooth skin, a small melon seed face, and a pair of big watery eyes that flicker, which is indescribably moving.

Zhou Shaojin was surprised.

It had been eleven years since her mother died, and Lanting was at least twenty-four or five.

She didn't expect Lanting to look so young.

Seeing Zhou Shaojin, she knelt in front of Zhou Shaojin with a plop, and tears fell like rain.

"Second Miss, I can be regarded as seeing you. When I left, you were just a little bit. She wiped her tears, "It's a pity that I miss the second lady every day, but I don't dare to disobey my wife's will and let the master go to office alone......"

Zhou Shaojin suddenly understood her sister's irritability.

Her mother has died, but she still uses her name for personal gain...... It's so shameless!

Zhou Shaojin interrupted Lan Ting's crying and said, "Get up and speak!" It's cool on the ground. ”

Lan Ting was stunned for a moment, and then the tears fell even more, and said, "Second Miss, you are really like a wife, and you are as kind-hearted as ......."

Zhou Shaojin smiled and didn't make a sound, sat down on the Taishi chair in the hall, and asked Lan Ting: "Do you know how to write?" ”

This hammer in the east and a stick in the west made Lan Ting a little confused.

She thought for a moment and said, "Yes, my wife taught me in the past." ”

"That's good." Zhou Shaojin said softly, "I know that my mother entrusted our sisters to you before she died, and my father has respected you very much over the years. This time you are asked to come back to give pearls, which is actually what our sisters mean. ”

Lan Ting was stunned.

As if he hadn't seen it, Zhou Shaojin continued slowly: "When my mother died, my sisters were still young, and now that I think about it, if it weren't for the small portrait of my mother still hanging in my father's study, I'm afraid we wouldn't even know what our mother looks like." As soon as our sisters put it together, they called you back. Since you can write, why don't you write down to us what your mother said before she died, and it can be regarded as a memory for our sisters. ”

Lan Ting immediately realized that Zhou Shaojin was annoying her, and she always used the Zhuang family as an excuse.

She sneered inwardly.

Zhuang said something on his deathbed, and Zhou Zhen was not there, so it was not just what she said!

She nodded in fear.

Zhou Shaojin asked Ma Fushan's family to prepare pen and ink for her.

Ma Fushan's family cast an admiring look at Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin was embarrassed.

She knew that the Ma Fushan family had misunderstood. She just didn't want to hear Lanting's noise.

Soon, Lan Ting wrote Zhuang's "last words".

Zhou Shaojin swept through the ten lines at a glance and asked Lan Ting: "You mean, mother asked you to take care of your father and us?" ”

"yes!" Lan Ting said with a red face, his eyelids drooping slightly, looking shy.

Of course, there is more to it than that, but this sentence is the most important.

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "In that case, why don't you want to stay in the Zhou family?" My father is now taken care of by my stepmother, but there is one less person around us who can take ideas. Could it be that you don't want to take care of our sisters? ”

Lan Ting was stunned.

Does Zhou Shaojin really not understand or fake it?

She looked at Zhou Shaojin's delicate and beautiful but slightly green face, and suddenly felt as if she had found the wrong person!

However, Zhou Chujin is even more powerful.

She is in the hands of Zhou Chujin, and she has no chance of winning at all.

Lan Ting's tears fell again, she knelt in front of Zhou Shaojin again, and said: "The eldest lady and the second miss are taken care of by the Cheng family, but the master is alone outside as an official, how can I leave the master alone in office......
