Chapter 144: Ignorance (Pink Ticket 1290 Plus Update)
can make Huaishan remember the name, and also say in front of him, this little guy must have something extraordinary.
Cheng Chi raised his eyebrows.
Huaishan said: "He is only twelve years old this year, and he carries five hundred taels of silver tickets in his arms. ”
For five hundred taels of silver, you can buy a small house in the capital and take forty or fifty acres of fertile land outside; You can set up two shops on the most prosperous street in Songjiang Mansion; It is possible to invest in maritime trade in Ningbo...... It can also make brothers turn against each other and parents become enemies.
Many people have never earned five hundred taels of silver in their lifetime.
Cheng Chi smiled: "Let people stare at him and see what he is going to do?" ”
Huai Shan bowed respectfully and said, "Where is the second miss of the Zhou family......
"Send someone to watch first," Cheng Chi said disapprerovingly, "Since she sent Fan Qi to the capital, as long as we keep an eye on Fan Qi, sooner or later we will know what she wants to do?" ”
Huaishan should "yes" and retreated.
Cheng Chi stood quietly for a while, and slowly flipped out an account book.
opened, the front line was written in block letters, "On the twelfth day of the winter month, forty-four gray squirrel skins were collected." ”
The handwriting is square, and it is the most standard pavilion style.
Although it is very old, it can be seen that the person who wrote these lines of words showed decisiveness and resoluteness when he put pen to paper.
Cheng Chi's fingers lightly swiped the line of words, and then picked up the account book and threw it into the brazier.
The fire was full of flames, splashing on the corner of Cheng Chi's clothes, burning a hole.

Over there, Zhou Shaojin returned to Wanxiangju, and Shi Xiang had already taken out what she had earned over the years, in addition to the silver bills, there were also a few golden beans.
Zhou Shaojin looked at the silver bills and golden beans piled on the tray of carved red lacquer begonia flowers, as if they were in another world.
The step-by-step silver coin was one year Cheng Yi went to his grandmother to pay New Year's greetings, and his maternal grandmother rewarded him with six step-by-step silver coins, she thought it was very interesting, and after the New Year, Cheng Yi gave one to her, and told her apologetically: "If it wasn't given by the elders, I would have given it all to you." ”
The silver bills that went well were given by my sister, as if my sister was a guest at someone's house, and someone else gave them, and my sister gave her a few. It's just that she doesn't remember when.
Those few golden beans were given by Cheng Sheng's cousin in the long house - the long house has always been rich, and Cheng Sheng is the treasure in the palm of Mrs. Guo, every New Year, Mrs. Guo gave Cheng Sheng a bag of golden beans, she looked very envious, and Cheng Sheng gave her a few.
Shi Xiang said: "Second Miss, these add up to almost two hundred taels of silver, have they all been exchanged for huàn?" ”
Zhou Shao was silent.
These are either given by elders or given by sisters......
She was reluctant to think about it, as if she had failed the blessings of her elders and the hearts of her sisters for the sake of silver.
"Don't give it to huàn just yet." Zhou Shaojin instructed, "Wait until I am short of silver." ”
Shi Xiang didn't doubt it, smiled and agreed, and put the reward silver back in the cage.
Zhou Shaojin was in the room. I think it's better to get married, and when you get married, you will have your own body and money, and you can do whatever you want, so that you won't be overstretched like now.
I don't know how other people are doing?
Her dinner was served in Jiashutang, and after the meal, Mrs. Guan discussed with Mrs. Chu about giving a full moon gift to the second son of Cheng Shi in the second room.
In addition to children's clothes, shoes and socks, there are also gold and silver longevity locks, bracelets, and anklets, and those who are seventy-seven or eighty-eight also get fifty or sixty taels of silver.
Zhou Shaojin was speechless.
This is only the full moon ceremony, and the 100-day ceremony is even heavier!
Mrs. Guan naturally didn't know what Zhou Shaojin was thinking in her heart, so she instructed her and Zhou Chujin: "You are a girl who has not left the cabinet, just take a few pieces of needlework and send them over." ”
Zhou Shaojin also thinks that it is not bad to be a girl's family, and when people go to the courtesy, they just respond to the scene, not counted.
But what to do with this silver matter, she still has no bottom in her heart.
When the grandson of the long room and the grandson of the second room made the full moon ceremony, it was time for the winter dress ceremony.
Worship ancestors, send New Year's gifts, collect rent, take inventory, and make new clothes for the New Year...... Whether it is the outer courtyard or the inner courtyard, they are all starting to get busy, and everyone is looking forward to the New Year with joy.
Jing'an Zhai has resumed classes. Zhou Shaojin's life was as calm and orderly as in the past - every morning he went to Jing'an Zhai to attend classes, in the afternoon he went to the Hanbi Mountain House to copy scriptures, in the evening he did needlework, occasionally quarreled with Cheng Ji, and went to visit Jiying every now and then.
Ji Ying finally finished copying the "Female Commandment" 500 times before the Laba Festival.
Zhou Shaojin was a little disbelieving, his eyes widened and he whispered: "When I came here a few days ago, I saw that you only had five or six copies on your desk, why did you suddenly finish copying them." ”
Ji Hotaru glared at her and whispered, "Can't you just pretend not to know?" ”
Zhou Shaojin suddenly, his eyes widened.
Ji Hotaru chuckled.
Zhou Shaojin said: "Who helped you?" ”
Ji Ying said triumphantly: "I gave Qin Ziping a hundred taels of silver, and Qin Ziping helped me copy it." ”
Is there such a good thing?
Zhou Shaojin looked at her suspiciously.
Ji Hotaru said "hey" and said, "What kind of eyes are you?" Am I doing something wrong? My father said that if you can solve it with silver, you should try to solve it with silver, and you can't do it if you hurt your muscles and bones. ”
Zhou Shaojin wiped his sweat.
Ji Hotaru's father has many insights...... But sometimes you have to admit that what he said makes sense.
Zhou Shaojin asked her: "What arrangements do you have during the Laba Festival?" Do you want to go to my place for porridge? My sister said that she would sue me for boiling laba porridge this year. ”
"Yes, yes!" Ji Hotaru happily agreed, but changed her mind in an instant, "Forget it, I'm going to kowtow to this and kowtow to that." ”
Zhou Shaojin hopes that her sister can also like Jiying.
She hurriedly said: "Just go to our house, and a few of us will celebrate the Laba Festival by ourselves." ”
Ji Hotaru was a little excited.
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly said: "Then it's decided." You can also bring some back to Miss Nanping and Uncle Chi to taste when the time comes. ”
"Your Uncle Chi doesn't need it." Ji Yingdao said, "He was invited to Ganquan Temple to drink porridge during the Laba Festival. ”
Zhou Shaojin thought that he could take the opportunity to earn some impression points in front of Cheng Chi, but he was in vain.
She was a little disappointed and said, "I haven't heard that the Laba porridge in Ganquan Temple is delicious?" Why did he go to Ganquan Temple to drink porridge? ”
"You're stupid!" Ji Ying said with a smile, "Who will invite him to drink porridge, it's at the end of the year, Ganquan Temple urged him to donate sesame oil money!" ”
Zhou Shaojin said: "Didn't you start donating sesame oil money when you ate new cakes after spring?" ”
"You're talking about the temples of the North, right?" Ji Yingdao said, "We northerners are hearty, unlike you people in the south, who have nine bends and eighteen bends, thinking about the name and making people pay for money." ”
Zhou Shaojin said angrily: "I didn't ask Uncle Chi from Ganquan Temple to drink porridge." Besides, he can not go! ”
"Not going?" Ji Ying pursed her lips and said disdainfully, "If you don't go, you just wait for those big monks to squat at home every day to give you lectures!" ”
That's just as well.
Those Zhike monks are very powerful.
Like her, when she first went to the Jokhang Temple to worship the Buddha, it was just to accompany her mother-in-law, but later it developed to the point that she would regularly donate 500 taels of silver to the Jokhang Temple every year.
Ji Ying said: "Forget it, let's not talk about him, I don't have a good word to say about him." I have something to tell you, I'm going to move to Lixuezhai in two days, and if you come to me again, go directly to Lixuezhai to find it. ”
Zhou Shaojin was stunned and said, "Why? ”
Ji Ying rolled her eyes and said, "There are not enough people serving in the Xiaoshan Conggui Courtyard, and your Uncle Chi has decided that everyone will live in Lixuezhai and close this place." ”
Zhou Shaojin was taken aback and said, "Is this year's business bad?" ”
She asked Ji Hotaru to stop.
Ji Ying thought for a long time and said, "I can't see it...... Could it be that Cheng Zichuan's business has collapsed this year? My father said that the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have good and bad luck. Cheng Zichuan has been lucky for ten years, should it be bad luck from this year? ”
"Is that something you can say casually?" Zhou Shaojin "bah" her, folded his hands and bowed to the west, and muttered a few words, "Tong Yan Wu Ji, Tong Yan Wu Ji, Bodhisattva Don't blame."
Gathering cocoon qi knots, he said: "I am Tong Yan, so what are you?" ”
Zhou Shaojin was shocked to realize his age...... She choked for a long time.
Ji Ying said to her: "You say, I told my father to let my father take the silver to redeem me, will Cheng Zichuan agree?" ”
Zhou Shaojin couldn't get it at the point.
She always felt that Uncle Chi looked kind, but there was a faint sense of pride in her bones. If his business is going well, and Ji Hotaru's father takes the silver to redeem Ji Hotaru, he will probably agree as soon as his heart softens. But if his business is in trouble, if nothing else, even if it is to prevent those business rivals from falling into the ground, he will not agree to Jiying's father.
But anything can happen.
She also hopes that Ji Ying can return to her parents as soon as possible and become a well-loved eldest lady.
It's just a pity that if Ji Hotaru really leaves, I'm afraid they will never see each other again in the future.
"You try to mention it to Uncle Chi!" Zhou Shaojin said, "Whether you agree or not, you have to give it a try." ”
Ji Hotaru bowed his head thoughtfully.
Shi Xiang panted and ran to Zhou Shaojin and said, "Second Miss, Ma Ci asked someone to bring a letter back from Jingzhou Mansion, and the eldest lady asked you to go back quickly!" ”
Where could Zhou Shaojin sit still, he immediately stood up, hurriedly said to Ji Ying, "I'll go back first", and hurriedly left the Xiaoshan Conggui Courtyard.
Who's not there is anything important yet.
Ji Hotaru didn't take it to heart.
Cheng Chi got a letter: "...... Miss Zhou Jiaer came to visit Jiying again. Halfway through the words, he was called away by the eldest lady of the Zhou family. ”
Cheng Chi said "um" and instructed Huaishan: "Before the twenty-second day of the lunar month, it must be moved." ”
Huaishan retreated.
Zhou Shaojin felt that his heart was about to jump out.
While rushing back, she asked Shi Xiang, "When did my sister receive the letter?" What did you say? ”
"I just received the letter." Shi Xiang followed behind Zhou Shaojin and said, "I didn't say anything, and I couldn't tell whether I was happy or unhappy." ”
Is that good news or bad news?
At least there was a letter from Ma Ci, but Fan Qi didn't even send a piece of paper to hand it to her.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, if he doesn't come back, how can she explain to Fan Liu?
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly returned to Wanxiangju.
