Zhou Zhen was very surprised, and the sincerity revealed in Cheng Chi's words made him feel good.

His expression couldn't help but soften, and he said, "Old lady, do you know about this too?" ”

Cheng Chi suddenly knew that his opportunity had come.

At this time, every word he says becomes very important, even a sentence of life and a sentence of death, depending on how he copes.

"After my mother came to the capital, I have already explained it to her old man." Cheng Chi said, "It's just that at that time, there was a lot of confusion in the family, and my mother's intention was that the second lady couldn't be the target of the public at this time, so I didn't mention this matter for the time being." This time I came to Baoding Mansion, and I told my mother in advance, and she knew about it! ”

Zhou Zhen breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

Or in his view, the marriage of a child without the blessing of their parents is equivalent to elopement. And without the approval of Mr. Guo, the affairs of the Cheng family usually have no good results.

Zhou Zhen picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, and couldn't help but look at the Cheng Pool.

The children of the family are calm and unhurried, and they have the confidence and freedom of poetry and books...... No matter how you look at it, Cheng Chi is a beautiful man who picks one in case.

Just like Li said, in addition to his age, he is indeed a good son-in-law.

Maybe there is nothing perfect in this world!

Zhou Zhen felt a little calmer in his heart.

He asked Cheng Chi: "Cheng Jiashan, what are your plans?" ”

Cheng Chi said with a smile: "My mother has already bought a house for me at Chaoyangmen. I'll live there in the future. ”

Xinglin Hutong is the ancestral home of the Cheng family, which is naturally obtained by Cheng Jing, who is the eldest son.

Cheng Chi said: "So when I come back from Jining, I may still be released, and then I can take Shaojin to take office with me." ”

In this way, the husband and wife do not need to separate.

The younger son also has the benefit of the younger son.

Zhou Zhen only began to seriously think about the possibility of this marriage at this time.

He nodded slightly and said, "How did you think of helping Yang Shoushan control the Yellow River?" ”

Cheng Chi told him that he had been proficient in counting since he was a child, and he wanted to see those hydrological geographies, and then how he met Mr. Song, how to calculate the water level, how to get water from the center of the river...... One by one, they all sued Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen was very interested and asked carefully about calculating the water level.

Baoding Prefecture also has a lot of drought and little rainfall, and if it can be irrigated by river water, the peasants will not have to live so hard.

Cheng Chi has all questions to answer.

Gradually, the two of them looked slightly solemn and discussed the matter of drawing water to water the ground.

Outside the flower hall, Li quietly asked Mama Li, who was listening closely, "How is it?" Did you hear what the fourth master and the old man said?? Did the old man and the fourth master quarrel? ”

Mama Li shook her head again and again.

Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

The two did not come out of the study until lunchtime, and even if they did, after a short silence at the dinner table, the two went to the study and continued to talk about the irrigation of the farmland.

Li Shi frowned slightly.

Master Li rushed over and hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" You called me here in a hurry. I'm still waiting to deliver wine to the capital! ”

Since the life of the inner house, the Li family has become the richest man in Jiangxi, and Master Li is even more red-faced, and he can't hide his hesitation when he is tired.

Li complained, "Why did you come at this time? If I had known this, I might as well not send you a letter, and when you came, the daylily would be cold! ”

Master Li didn't care.

The two siblings were bickering.

In the capital, Mrs. Guo is sending out invitations.

The ninth day of September is her birthday.

Cheng Jing also intends to give the old lady a birthday.

This was the first time they had a family banquet after the separation, and it happened that the relatives and friends who had helped them during the division of the sect got together.

Mrs. Guo specially gave a post to Sister Zhou Shaojin, and also instructed Mama Lu: "You take some nourishing medicinal materials to the Liao family, and give the three invitations to the eldest lady of the Liao family, but the nourishing medicinal materials are one for the eldest grandmother of the Liao family and the second miss of the Zhou family." ”

In the affairs of the Fang family, Mrs. Liao secretly worked a lot.

She's definitely coming.

And Zhou's sister's invitation was handed over to her, even if Zhou Chujin deliberately stopped Zhou Shaojin, Mrs. Liao was afraid that she would not agree.

As for the Fang family, she would definitely come if she was not invited.

Mama Lu smiled and responded "yes" and sent an invitation to Yushu Hutong.

Although she borrowed the light of the Zhou sisters, she might let the most intimate grandmother around Mrs. Guo send a post to herself, and Mrs. Liao was still very happy.

Zhou Chujin secretly scolded Cheng Chi for being cunning.

He must have wanted to use this method to meet Shaojin!

She didn't know that Cheng Chi had gone to Baoding.

Zhou Chujin is not good not to go, otherwise Mrs. Liao will definitely feel that she has a gap with the Cheng family, and it will be difficult to investigate it, in case she pulls out her sister.

As Mrs. Guo expected, she made an excuse for Zhou Shaojin: "Shaojin is a little uncomfortable these days, the old lady's birthday banquet, I'll accompany you." When Shaojin is better, I will go to greet the old lady. ”

Although she may not be able to stop it, she still has to try.

Mrs. Liao was very displeased, and said, "The elders are doing longevity, and it's not that they can't get up, why can't they go and say hello?" She instructed Mama Zhong to invite Zhou Shaojin to come over, and continued to train Zhou Chujin: "I heard you say in the past, your sister once got the guidance of the old lady, that is, she has the grace to teach your sister, the old man's birthday, it is the first time, how can you say such a thing......

Zhou Shaojin endured and remained silent.

Even if she was questioned by her mother-in-law, she had no intention of compromising on this matter.

But soon, Zhou Shaojin was invited over.

Mrs. Liao smiled kindly and handed the invitation to Zhou Shaojin and said, "On the ninth day of the new year, you should clean up and dress up." Let's go and pay a birthday to the old lady. ”

Zhou Shaojin looked at her sister's face and knew that her sister was unhappy about this matter, she smiled and responded, and immediately took Zhou Chujin's arm when she left the main room, and pretended to be a child in front of her sister and said: "Sister, I said that I would listen to you, the old lady has a birthday, and I should go to say hello if it is reasonable." But I promise to follow my sister all the time and not go anywhere, okay? ”

Zhou Chujin's face was slightly pale.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the sisters dressed up and went to Chaoyangmen with Mrs. Liao.

Cheng Zheng and Cheng Xiao arrived early, and they were standing in front of the hanging flower door to help Mrs. Guo welcome guests.

When Zhou Shaojin entered the door, he happened to meet several wives coming in a row, and they greeted Cheng Zheng affectionately, and joked to their sisters: "You are aunts and grandmothers, you are guests, why are you standing here to welcome guests?" The old lady is too good at directing people! ”

Cheng Zheng said with a smile: "Today is the old lady's birthday, and our sisters can help the old lady welcome guests here, which is also filial piety, and can also touch the old lady's blessings." ”

While talking, she took Zhou Shaojin's hand and introduced several wives to them.

Zhou Shaojin listened attentively.

The round-faced is Mrs. Zhou, the long-faced is Mrs. Wang, even the smile makes people feel sad is Mrs. Qu, Mrs. Shen is the seventeenth old lady of the Shen family in Jinling, and now she is the head of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, and she can accept the invitation because she is a fellow villager with the Cheng family......

She kept them in her heart.

Since he has decided to marry Uncle Chi, he will have to deal with them in the future.

Everyone knew that the Fang family was the eldest wife of the Liao family in Zhenjiang, and they all greeted them warmly.

Cheng Xiao smiled and invited them to sit in the hall.

The second wife of the Fang family brought Fang Xuan over.

When they were in Beijing, they were older than Mrs. Liao, and they were all acquaintances with these wives, everyone greeted each other with laughter, talked about some short things in the family, and then went to greet Mrs. Guo together.

Mrs. Guo is very energetic today, wearing a royal blue gown embroidered with crane and fairy grass patterns, wearing a green opal forehead scarf the size of a pigeon's egg, her hair mixed with silver threads is neatly rolled into a bun, and she also wears a gold step shake for the first time.

Everyone smiled and stepped forward to salute, congratulating Mrs. Guo on her birthday.

Old Madam Guo laughed.

When it was Zhou Shaojin's turn, he took Zhou Shaojin's hand and looked her up and down, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, I heard that you entered Beijing with your sister, and I was still thinking, I don't know if you went back to Baoding Mansion during my birthday banquet?" ”

It sounded as if they hadn't seen each other in years.

Zhou Shaojin didn't know why, but she believed in Mrs. Guo just as she believed in Cheng Chi.

She spoke obediently and meekly to Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo was very satisfied, and specially asked people to reward a string of tourmaline eighteen Buddha bead bracelets, and said, "When you have nothing to do, you often come and walk around." I copied the scriptures you copied for me back then, but I offered them to the Fayu Temple in Putuo Mountain. ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled and responded "good".

Mrs. Guo instructed Cheng Sheng: "You also studied together when you were young, and you took her with you to recognize these sisters and sisters in Beijing." ”

Cheng Sheng smiled and responded "Okay", stepped forward and took Zhou Shaojin's hand and stood next to the screen behind the old lady, looking at the relatives and friends who came in wave after wave to greet the old lady and whispered: "Grandmother, what's wrong?" Did you come to her old man a few days ago to say hello? Could it be that the old lady is too old to remember things? ”

Zhou Shaojin looked at Mrs. Guo carefully and replied to her in a low voice: "The old lady's eyes are clear, you can't remember things......"

I'm afraid there are other plans!

It's just that they can't see it.

Cheng Sheng was still guessing there.

Zhou Shaojin's eyes fell on Fang Xuan, who came to greet Mrs. Guo.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Second Mrs. Fang waited until everyone had greeted Mrs. Guo before she took Fang Xuan forward, and when Fang Xuan greeted Mrs. Guo, everyone's eyes fell on Fang's mother and son.

Old Madam Guo obviously had time to take Fang Xuan's hand and talk to her because of this.

Only then did everyone know that Fang Xuan had been learning to write with Mrs. Guo these days.

Old Madam Guo smiled: "If you want to write, you and Shaojin are the two most talented little girls I have ever seen......" The old lady said, beckoning Zhou Shaojin, "You also come to meet the sixth miss of the Fang family." ”

Didn't you just see it last month?

Zhou Shaojin and the others were secretly strange in their hearts. But on such an occasion, no one would be stupid to correct Mrs. Guo.

The two saluted each other.
