Chapter 430: Cold
Zhou Shaojin's small movements were not seen by others, but Mrs. Guo, who had been paying attention to her, did.
She couldn't help but let out a long sigh, still ignoring Zhou Shaojin, and talking to Mrs. Liao and the others with a smile.
Zhou Shaojin felt that she should take the initiative to say hello to Mrs. Guo, but looking at Mrs. Guo's cold eyes, the courage she had finally mustered up suddenly disappeared little by little like a ball that had been poked into a hole.
What to do?
Zhou Shaojin was a little awkward.
She seems to have returned to the days when she was provoked by the Yuan family and ignored by Mrs. Guo in her previous life.
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but shudder, his fingers tightened, but he kept telling himself in his heart that the previous life was the previous life, this life was the current life, and Uncle Chi was not Cheng Xu. And her relationship with Uncle Chi was already a little awkward, and it was impossible for Mrs. Guo to like her as much as before......
After a while, her mood gradually calmed down, and she regained her courage, and when the little maid came in to refill their cups, she took the hot water from the little maid's hand, helped Mrs. Guo make a new cup of tea, and brought it to Mrs. Guo.
Mrs. Guo didn't look at Zhou Shaojin, and continued to talk to Mrs. Liao: "...... She almost married into the Jinling Shen family at that time. Who knew that the two families hadn't officially mentioned this matter, and then Shen Gongzi drowned. Your fourteenth aunt has been delayed for so many years. Now listen to what you say, although she married to her hometown, her husband respects her son and filial piety, and her life is extremely smooth, she is also a good thing! ”
They were talking about Mrs. Liao's aunt.
Zhou Shaojin listened to their tone, Mrs. Liao's fourteenth aunt was quite familiar with Mrs. Guo.
She lowered her eyelids.
I deeply understood what my father said.
Zhou family. The roots are shallow.
I also deeply felt my father's helplessness.
Zhou Shaojin was not a long-sleeved person who was good at dancing, Mrs. Guo deliberately snubbed her, and she didn't know how to break the deadlock, so she simply retreated and continued to sit in the corner and listen to them.
Wei Er's wife, Qiu Shi, likes this little girl who is like a flower and a bone, and people will feel amazing when they see it.
She quietly ordered the little maid serving beside her to serve an extra fruit plate, and then put it on the coffee table next to Zhou Shaojin, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Isn't it boring?" That's what the elders say. You endure a little and eat some fruit. Lunch is coming soon. There is a church meeting in the afternoon. ”
Preparing for the church meeting!
Zhou Shaojin was a little surprised.
Such kindness is even more heart-warming in Mrs. Guo's indifference.
She smiled and thanked Mrs. Wei.
The quiet smile of the moon made Mrs. Wei Er winkle, and she paused before smiling at her. Return to your seat and sit down.
A little maid ran in. Said with a smile: "The old lady, the second wife, the eldest aunt, the second aunt and the third aunt are here." ”
Cheng Zheng and they also chose to go home today?
No wonder Mrs. Guo invited someone to sing in the church.
Zhou Shaojin and the others greeted them out.
Cheng Zheng was dressed in royal blue and wore a peony bun. Wearing a red gold rank, ruby and gold step. Elegant; Cheng Zheng wears a garnet red armor. Wearing a round bun, hairpins with large jade flowers, and smiling kindly; Cheng Sheng was wearing a pale green jacket. Wearing a tilting bun, wearing a duo and Tilian, delicate and cute.
The three of them walked over with a smile, like a picture of a beauty.
Mrs. Liao was the first to boast: "The old lady's family is really beautiful!" Look at these three aunts and grandmothers, their eyes are straight! ”
Old Madam Guo laughed.
Cheng Zheng took his two younger sisters to greet everyone and said with a smile: "You are too complimentary!" I saw Ah Xuan and Zhong Lingyuxiu at He Tongzheng's house two days ago, that is the real beauty! ”
Fang Xuan's father is the younger brother of Mrs. Liao.
And He Tongzheng is Cheng He's father-in-law, He Mianzhi.
After he was worried, he was helped by Cheng Jing, and his career went to the next level and became a general political secretary.
Mrs. Liao hurriedly smiled: "She is just too naughty, how can she compare to your dignified and generous." ”
A few people had to say a few words of greeting.
Another little girl ran in and said, "The eldest lady of the Fang family has brought the sixth lady of the Fang family over." ”
Fang Xuan?!
Zhou Shaojin frowned.
Mrs. Liao laughed and said, "It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived." ”
Cheng Zheng did not make a sound.
She had just noticed a hint of confusion flashing in Old Madam Guo's eyes.
Could it be that the eldest wife of the Fang family is uninvited?
Cheng Zheng took a few steps back and stood subordily behind Mrs. Guo.
Mrs. Liao waited for the meeting but went out.
After a while, Mrs. Fang, who was surrounded by pearls and jade, came over with Fang Xuan.
Fang Xuan wore a moon-white back with yellow-green bud edges, a green eight-panel Hunan skirt, her jet-black hair was combed, and she wore a pair of Nanzhu bead flowers, which were beautiful and beautiful.
Seeing that Zhou Shaojin was also there, she seemed a little surprised, but she still stepped forward to greet Zhou Shaojin with a faint expression.
Zhou Shaojin politely returned the salute, followed everyone into the banquet room, and saw Mrs. Fang Da smile and said, "...... Her mother went to Min's house to help. She heard that you were coming, and she had to come and kowtow to you. I couldn't help but be pestered by her, so I had to bring her in. The old lady saw my face and put up with this monkey! ”
Old Madam Guo smiled slightly, and before she could speak, Fang Xuan stepped forward and kowtowed to Old Madam Guo three times, got up and pulled Old Madam Guo's sleeve and said: "When I was a child, I went to Jinling City with my father to visit the door and saw the old lady, and the old lady also gave me a red agate bracelet at that time, and the bracelet is still lying in my makeup!" I remember it clearly. ”
Old Madam Guo laughed, looking very happy.
Inexplicably, Zhou Shaojin felt like he was on pins and needles.
After that, Fang Xuan has been with Mrs. Guo for socializing, eating, and watching dramas, and Mrs. Guo has always been accompanied by her.
Zhou Shaojin was gloomy.
made an excuse to say that he was going to the official room, and sat on the stone bench under the big locust tree not far from the flower hall to breathe, thinking that he was already long enough when he came out. Then he got up and came out from behind the tree.
Mrs. Guo, who was supposed to sit on the bed of the arhat in the flower hall and listen to the play, stood with Mrs. Fang and talked in the hand-copying verandah outside the flower hall.
Both of them looked a little stern.
Zhou Shaojin secretly screamed that it was not good, and was about to avoid it, but the eyes of Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Fang both looked at her.
She walked over to them with a grin, and curtsied her knees.
Mrs. Guo said to the other lady: "I know about this. I'll talk to Shiro about it. I will tell you again if I have the news. ”
Mrs. Fang Da looked grateful.
Mrs. Guo stretched out her hand and motioned for Zhou Shaojin to give her a hand.
Zhou Shaojin didn't dare to slack off, and helped Mrs. Guo.
Mrs. Guo said: "I'm going to the official room, you go back to listen to the play!" I heard that it is an evergreen class, which is very famous in the capital, and it is rare for you to come to the capital. Just play in peace for a few days and then go back. ”
Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "Okay." instructed Zhou Shaojin to take good care of Mrs. Guo and returned to the flower hall.
Go to the verandah of the official house, surrounded by tall boxwood trees, and it is the time when the lush branches and leaves are blooming. Shade the sun. A thick shade. While the two were leaving, the occasional sound of the sleeves rustling became even quieter.
Mrs. Guo entered the back room where the toilet was placed.
Zhou Shaojin helped prepare the bath beans for Mrs. Guo to come out and clean her hands.
Mrs. Guo stood in front of the mirror and washed her hands, and when she raised her eyes, she could see Zhou Shaojin in the mirror.
She opened her mouth coldly: "Shaojin." You like Shiro! ”
Zhou Shaojin raised his head in amazement, and his apricot eyes were reflected in the mirror.
Mrs. Guo casually picked up the handkerchief placed next to the mirror platform, wiped her hands and turned around, and said, "I treat you as a granddaughter." You are my granddaughter, I like it, and I will marry you in style. But if you are my daughter-in-law, and let my son be charged with seducing his niece for the rest of his life, I can't accept it. ”
Zhou Shaojin lowered his eyelids, slightly uneasy.
Old Madam Guo sneered: "Did Shiro make you pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend that you didn't know anything?" He was born and raised by me, and I don't know how many pounds and taels he has? His methods are also to deal with the outside steward, and others still respect him as the fourth master of the Cheng family. ”
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly said: "No, it's not ......"
Old Madam Guo didn't wait for her to finish speaking, she had already thrown the handkerchief on the mirror platform, and said in a deep voice: "Shaojin, do you know why Mrs. Fang came to me?" Shiro wanted to marry you, so he instigated the Yuan clan to divide the clan. The ancestor of the second room proposed to give the second room 3 million taels of silver to the long room, and the second room said to the outside world that it was the result of the negotiation of several rooms. The Yuan family now has the support of the uncle of the Yuan family, and decides to sell the dowry he got from his mother. Among them, there are also those shared by several uncles of the Yuan family. Yuan's mother is a girl from the Fang family, and those properties are accompanied by the Fang family, and several uncles of the Fang family don't know what happened and found me...... Shaojin, there is no wall in the world that is not harmonious. What would Yuan think if Yuan knew in the future that the reason why Shiro agreed to split up was to marry you? And Jiashan, how do you get along with him when you enter the door? This home, what will I do in the future? And your father, what do you call your grandmother when he sees him? How does your sister explain the relationship between you and her to Mrs. Liao? Does she call Shiro 'uncle' or 'brother-in-law'......"
Old man Guo's words were like a thump, hitting Zhou Shaojin's heart with a thump.
The old lady's words were not her worries!
The sweeter she and Cheng Chi became, the more worried she became.
But she always thought that with Uncle Chi, he would definitely find a way to solve it...... She forgot that he was also a human being, and there were times when he couldn't do it.
Zhou Shaojin's face was a little pale.
She looked at Mrs. Guo's resolute face and said in a low voice, "Then, what should I do?" ”
Old Madam Guo looked at her with deep eyes, and said softly: "The incident between you and Shiro should not have happened." I'll come forward on Shiro's side. You will go back to Baoding Mansion in a few days. I will choose a good husband for you to marry in the families of people like the Li family in Lujiang and the Yuan family in Tongxiang, and I will pay the dowry......"
Zhou Shaojin's tears fell uncontrollably.
Old lady, this is ...... Disagree......
Old Madam Guo lowered her voice and said solemnly: "You think about it carefully, and tell me when you figure it out." Shiro is there, I'm there! ”
Turn and leave.
Zhou Shaojin stood alone in the official room.
In the distance, there was a singing voice from time to time.
It was as if her heart had been poached.
