Chapter 360: A Small Stay (Weekend Update)
Cheng Chi was a little unable to move for a moment.
Zhou Shaojin has never been able to see any emotion from Cheng Chi's expression, her feelings come from her intuition. Seeing that Cheng Chi didn't speak when she looked at her, and she didn't look like she was in a bad mood, she simply said, "Uncle Chi, then we'll settle it like this." Before Xiao Xiao Zhenhai's matter was resolved, you lived in my house. ”
Cheng Chi nodded.
Zhou Shaojin ran away with a grin. Until she returned to the wing, drank two cups of tea, and sat quietly for a stick of incense, her heart was still pounding.
Uncle Chi is dressed so grandly today!
He was also tied with a jade belt.
The small seal that falls is bloodstone, into a pagoda shape, hollowed out with the eight treasures of Ruyi, the price is expensive at a glance, very beautiful.
Uncle Chi rarely dresses so gorgeously.
I don't know if he will stay.
Zhou Shaojin tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, and then remembered that Mama Shang didn't know where to find Uncle Chi.
However, if she can't find Uncle Chi, she will naturally come back.
Zhou Shaojin instructed Ruyi to wait for Mama Shang at the door, and let her come to see her as soon as she saw her.
Ruyi obediently responded and left.
Mama Li, who is in Li's body, came over with a menu and said respectfully: "Mrs. said that the second lady should take a look at the banquet in the evening, I am afraid that there are some dishes that violate the taboo of Master Cheng Si." ”
Zhou Shaojin looked at it carefully, changed two dishes that she didn't think were very tasty, and then handed them to Mama Li.
Mama Li smiled and said, "Master Cheng Si is the younger brother of Cheng Ge?" How can you be so young? ”
Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips and smiled, "He is the youngest son of Changfang. Mrs. Guo's uncle Chi was born in her forties. ”
"Oops!" Mama Li said enviously, "Old Madam Guo is really blessed. ”
Zhou Shaojin smiled approvingly.
Mama Li packed up the menu and muttered, "Master Cheng Si looks really thoughtful", and then came out of the room.
Zhou Shaojin thought of Cheng Chi's clear eyes, and couldn't help but hug the big pillow and snicker.
Of course, there was nothing to do with Zhou Shaojin at the dinner.
Zhou Zhen and Cheng Chi drank some wine, talked about the gossip in the court, and the rank in the history books, and then went back to their rooms and dispersed.
The Li family has been waiting for Zhou Zhen.
When serving Zhou Zhen to change clothes, he asked, "Is this old man Chi of the Cheng family easy to get along with?" ”
Cheng Jing can't always see it, but if he communicates secretly with Cheng Jing's brother, there are some things that he tells Cheng Jing, and the effect may be better.
Zhou Zhen also had this consideration for Cheng Chi and Yan Yuese at the beginning. It can be seen that Cheng Chi is cold, and he only treats the other party as an ordinary in-law.
"Very knowledgeable." Zhou Zhen thought about what he said to Cheng Chi, "It's a good person." It's just a bit aloof and cold. However, he is a young and first jinshi, which is also ordinary. It's a bit of a pity to just let him manage the general affairs. It's just that the people in the long house are thin, and they don't even have a capable nephew. He just wants to be a leader, and there is no one to take care of the general affairs in his hands. Speaking of this, he laughed, "Other people's families don't think there are many children who read and read, but I think that there are too few children who don't study, and they can't find someone to take care of the housework." ”
Lee smiled meekly.
Zhou Zhen said thoughtfully: "However, I think the long house is only the number of twenty or thirty years - the three families also have a Cheng Jiashan, only to see if Cheng Jiashan can support the court." But the second room now has two grandchildren......"
Li didn't care about this, she said, "Why didn't the fourth master get married?" At his age, children are enlightened. Look, does he have some hidden disease? ”
Zhou Zhen frowned and said, "You won't say this kind of thing in the future." The situation of each family is different, Mrs. Guo doesn't care, and those of us who are outsiders have no room to speak. ”
Li Shi said unhappily: "Didn't I tell you in private? ”
Zhou Zhen was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Then just talk about it in private." ”
Li responded with a smile.

Mama Shang didn't come back until she played the second watch, and when she learned that Cheng Chi was resting in the yamen, she was shocked that she didn't close her mouth for a long time, and before dawn the next day, she went to the courtyard of the guest room to wait.
Cheng Chi let him stand outside for almost an hour, and seeing that he was going to say hello to Zhou Zhen after breakfast, he let Mama Shang come in.
Mama Shang didn't do it right, so she knelt in front of Cheng Chi without saying a word, and said in a low voice: "The news was obtained by the second miss, I won't go, and the second miss won't follow." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, and there were two silver tickets of ten taels spread out on the palm of her hand, "This is more than the second lady, saying that she is afraid that I will use silver......
In the morning light, the crepe folds of the two silver tickets can be seen clearly.
Cheng Chi's heart suddenly seemed to have been hit by something, numb, wooden, and a little breathless.
He clutched his chest and took a deep breath.
The heart was beating smoothly again.
Cheng Chi said calmly: "You don't know about the Xiao family. Can Xiao Zhenhai move me at all? I asked you to follow the second miss, just because I was afraid that they would find out something, which would be bad for the second miss. You're putting the cart before the horse. For the sake of the second miss, forget it this time, if there is a next time, I can only change someone to serve the second miss. ”
"I made a note of it!" Mama Shang bowed her head deeply.
"Go ahead!" Cheng Chi said coldly, "Remember not to make your own decisions next time." ”
"Yes!" Mama Shang retreated, as if she had fled from death, her vest wet.
When Huaishan saw her appearance, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly comforted her: "It's okay." Hello, the second cousin is by the side. ”
Mama Shang went back to the wing.
Zhou Shaojin was waiting for her over there.
She couldn't wait to say, "Uncle Chi didn't scold you, did he?" ”
"Hey!" Mama Shang went the opposite way and said aggrievedly, "Say that I didn't listen to his orders, and I left you if I was good at it, if you have three longs and two shorts, I will change someone to serve you." ”
Zhou Shaojin was very self-reproachful when he heard this, and said, "Then I'll go talk to Uncle Chi." ”
"You still don't tell the fourth master." Mama Shang stopped her, "If the fourth master misunderstands me and complains in front of you, he will not be able to see me even more." All you have to do is let me follow you. The fourth master is measured in his work, and he will be fine. ”
Zhou Shaojin nodded, but he didn't agree with Mama Shang's words.
When the tiger still has a nap, what if, she said, what if Uncle Chi is calculated?
She asked Fan Qi to book Cheng Chi: "If the fourth master goes out, see if the fourth master comes back every day?" What time do you go out? When did you come back? ”
Fan Qi smiled and responded "yes" and ran away.
Zhou Shaojin suddenly felt complacent.
In the past, in Jiuru Lane, she had some scruples about what she wanted to do, but now in Baoding Mansion, she wants to stare at Uncle Chi's slightly, and it will be done in one sentence.
Let's see if Uncle Chi can hide everything from her.
She smiled and made unfinished needlework in an unknown tune.
Cheng Chi soon noticed something unusual.
Fan Qi simply stared at Cheng Chi's slightly.
Cheng Chi couldn't laugh or cry.
This little girl is a piece, and she doesn't gasp at all to climb on his head when she gives her face.
But his heart has its own opinions, so soft that it can drip water, and people can't get angry if they want to.
Cheng Chi instructed Huaishan: "Xiao Zhenhai's matter, we have to make a conclusion quickly, if it doesn't work, change to Xu Mu, the leader of the Jinsha Gang." ”
Huai Shan's footsteps were slightly late, and he said, "Fourth Master, do you want to think about it again." Xiao Zhenhai has the title of 'Meng Weijun' in Northern Wuhan, and he is also very face-saving in the green forest, and he can help us make the decision, which can not only confuse the eyes of the imperial court, but also free up our hands to do other things. If we change to Xu Mu of the Jinsha Gang, he is too young and too young to obey, and we have to spend a lot of effort to use him......"
Xiao Zhenhai has the Xiao family in their hands, so they will have scruples in their actions.
Xu Mu is an orphan, and the whole family is not worried about eating alone, and there are relatively few restraints, so it is difficult to control.
Cheng Chi didn't know.
But she didn't want Zhou Shaojin to continue staring at him like this.
He said: "I wanted to have a few more days with Xiao Zhenhai, but now I can't do it." Talk to him yourself, and if he serves and submits, he will do as he originally planned. If he is still there to rely on the old and sell the old, thinking that I dare not touch him, then replace him. ”
Seeing that Cheng Chi had made up his mind, Huaishan didn't dare to persuade him again, so he respectfully agreed and walked out of the guest room.
Fan Qi went to report to Zhou Shaojin: "The fourth master didn't go out today, he got up early in the morning, practiced calligraphy after breakfast, and then went to visit the master." I heard that the old man left the four old men for lunch, and let the kitchen make sheep and scorpion hot pot at noon! But Uncle Huaishan and Xiao Qin, who were beside the fourth master, went out early in the morning, so I don't know what to do! ”
The Cheng family has a lot of Qin stewards.
The chief manager of Qin is Qin Shouyue, the steward of Qin is Qin Xiao, the son of Qin Shouyue, the steward of Great Qin is Qin Zi'an, the chief steward of Xiao Qin is Qin Ziping, and there are many Qin stewards, Zhou Shaojin is not familiar with it, and he has no memory.
Zhou Shaojin was playing with Zhou Youjin on the kang and took a sandbag, you throw me away, I threw it away, and when I heard this, my eyes rolled and I was thrown in the face by Zhou Youjin.
Everyone was stunned.
As soon as Zhou Youjin's legs were weak, she was about to kneel.
Zhou Shaojin grinned and picked up the sandbag and threw it at Zhou Youjin's feet, making Zhou Youjin giggle.
The attendants in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Shaojin handed Zhou Youjin to the nurse and called Mama Shang to come in and ask: "...... sent Huaishan and Qin Ziping out, you say, what is Uncle Chi going to do? ”
It's one thing to know something, it's another thing to say it.
Mama Shang smiled: "I don't know about this." In the past, my fourth master city was just in charge of his food and tea. ”
Zhou Shaojin didn't believe it.
But as long as she thought that Uncle Chi didn't go out, she wouldn't meet that Zhou Zhenhai, and she was relieved again.
So when she heard that Zhou Zhen was going out with Cheng Chi to visit friends, she was quite happy, and asked who she was going to meet.
Fan Qi said with a smile: "I said that I was going to visit Lord Zhang, the former squire of the Criminal Department who was at home. ”
Zhou Shaojin nodded with a smile.
's father is an official of the imperial court, and with his father following, Xiao Zhenhai wouldn't dare to do anything even if he found Uncle Chi.
In the next few days, Cheng Chi followed Zhou Zhen to visit friends.
For a while, Mr. Qian, and Mr. Miao; After visiting other people's homes, I have to invite them back, and I have heard a lot of them, and even Zhou Shaojin, who has never gone out, knows which official eunuchs there are in Baoding Mansion.
