The day's boat ride in a sedan chair made the people up and down the Zhou family very tired, and after dinner, they went back to the house to rest.

The next morning, the Zhou sisters woke up at six o'clock in the morning as usual, and before they could get up, the night guard Xiang heard the movement and walked in, and said with a smile: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, just now the old man sent the Ma Fushan family to come and spread the word, saying that the two young ladies worked hard yesterday, and they have a good rest today, and they don't need to save the morning for the old man and his wife." ”

In other words, they can sleep in today.

Zhou Shaojin laughed when he heard this, and said, "It's better to be at home!" ”

Zhou Chujin looked at her begonia flower-like coquettishness, smiled and twisted her nose, and said, "What is good at home?" It's okay once in a while. If it's like this every day, I'm afraid that there will be no rules that will be connived at. ”

Zhou Shaojin grinned and turned his head to go back to sleep.

Zhou Chujin asked Zhixiang: "What about the wife?" ”

Holding incense is worthy of Zhou Chujin's body, and said with a smile: "Mrs. didn't get up either." ”

Only then did Zhou Chujin relax his heart, yawn, and continue to sleep.

By the time the sisters opened their eyes, it was already a red sun.

"Oops!" Zhou Chujin hurriedly urged her sister to get up and asked the serving Xiangxiang: "Did someone send someone over there in the study to ask?" ”

"Nope." Zhixiang hung up the tent with his hands and feet, and said with a smile, "The master is out--a few of the master's classmates knew that the master was back, and pulled the master out to drink." ”

"Ahh Zhou Chujin was a little dumbfounded.

Wouldn't they have to face the Li family alone?

Zhou Chujin couldn't help frowning, and looked at Zhou Shaojin with a hesitant expression.

Zhou Shaojin didn't care, and whispered to her sister in a low voice: "Maybe people are also worried!" ”

Zhou Chujin laughed, put his arm around Zhou Shaojin's shoulder, and said, "No wonder my father said that you are a ghost!" ”

Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips and smiled.

The sisters dressed up and had breakfast. Go and say hello to the Lee family.

Li was very enthusiastic and left the sisters to speak.

Only then did Zhou Chujin know that the Li family turned out to be the richest man in Jiangxi. Li is the youngest daughter in the family, and she has four older brothers. Married are all daughters of merchants' families, among which the eldest brother is the most stable, following Li's father to take care of the family's business, the third brother is the most courageous, and he opened a kiln outside, specializing in burning blue and white porcelain. He also smiled: "...... When you get married, I will ask my third brother to burn a set of wedding porcelain for you. ”

Wedding porcelain, according to different family assets from one pair to one hundred and eight pairs. The characteristic is that everything comes in pairs, and all the patterns imply longevity or harmony between husband and wife.

Zhou Chujin's face was slightly red, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, thinking that the Li family was born in business, and he only knew how to bribe people with small favors.

This may be a favor to others, but for Zhou Chujin, who was born in Jiuru Lane, it is a bit embarrassing.

She smiled a little perfunctorily: "Thank you Mrs. for that." ”

Li is not the kind of person who has no eyes, on the contrary, although she is the youngest in the family, her mother is old. The eldest sister-in-law is the head of the family, and she knows that even if she gets married, she will have to be supported by her brother and sister-in-law, so she is very good at looking at people's eyes.

Zhou Chujin faintly revealed disdain in his bones. Let her heart twitch and twitch.

Her husband was not at home, so she thought that she could take the opportunity to slap the two stepdaughters well, and the Li family left the sisters to speak, who knew that people didn't stammer, but people looked down on it.

Lee's face flushed.

Zhou Shaojin hopes that his father can enjoy happiness in his old age.

Sooner or later, he and his sister will get married, and his father's old age will have to rely on the Li family to take care of him.

She hurriedly smiled and said, "Madam, I like pastels, can I ask the third uncle of the Li family to burn me a set of one hundred and eight pairs of colored powder." ”

Li was stunned. My heart suddenly warmed.

No wonder the old ladies of the Cheng family like Zhou Shaojin, this child. It's really well-behaved, beautiful and caring.

She hurriedly smiled, "Okay, okay." Good. My third brother is doing this business, that is, he does not burn in the kiln, but he can also find a master, when the time comes, I will let them take the pattern for you to choose, and I will definitely burn the top wedding porcelain for you, which can be left for your children and grandchildren. ”

Zhou Chujin also saw her sister's intentions, she sighed secretly in her heart, lowered her head and drank tea.

Li saw that Zhou Shaojin was innocent, but Zhou Chujin was shrewd, and her instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages made her dare not say anything more to Zhou Chujin, and she talked to Zhou Shaojin wholeheartedly.

Zhou Shaojin was not born to socialize, and after a few words, she also felt quite struggling.

She cast a plea of eyes at her sister for help.

Zhou Chujin saw that she and Li were talking hotly, and she was displeased, pretending not to see it.

Zhou Shaojin had no choice but to continue to talk with the Li family, seeing that the words were finished, the scene was cold, Zhou Shaojin's eyes swept the rattan basket on the flower table, and found that there was a half-made children's dress inside, her eyes lit up, and she pointed to the rattan basket and said, "Is this the clothes that my wife made for my younger brother?" ”

Although she knew that Li's birth was a daughter, the Li family in her previous life dreamed of having a son, and she didn't want to pierce this dream herself.

Hearing this, Li Shi really laughed happily, his voice softened three points, and said, "Yes! It's a little shirt. ”

Zhou Shaojin walked over to take a look.

Li got up and leaned over.

The two of them talked about embroidery and cutting, and finally it was time for lunch.

After having lunch with Li, Zhou Shaojin and her sister went back to the upper room.

Zhou Chujin pointed at Zhou Shaojin's forehead when he entered the door, and said angrily: "You little white-eyed wolf, your mother finally gave birth to you, but you talked to that woman hotly, are you not your mother's biological daughter!" ”

It turns out that my sister has no way to accept other women as their mothers!

Zhou Shaojin was embarrassed.

She really didn't feel anything...... It's like there is an extra guest at home, and she will leave in a few days, and as the host, she naturally has to be polite. My sister grew up in front of her mother's knees since she was a child, so naturally she couldn't accept the Li family as lightly as she did...... From this point of view, my sister seems to be the mother's biological daughter......

Zhou Shaojin was both happy for her mother, but also a little sad.

She didn't remember her mother at all.

Mother is just a name for her, not as good as her sister!

She hugged Zhou Chujin tightly and said coquettishly: "Didn't I look at her quite pitiful?" I'm definitely going to ignore her again! "I'm afraid my sister will be angry.

Zhou Chujin sighed helplessly.

Afternoon. She took Zhou Chujin to the conservatory that Zhuang's family took care of before her death, but she didn't expect to meet Mama Yu.

Mama Yu was very happy and made a kind of fruit tea for them to drink. She said that it was her mother's favorite drink during her lifetime, and told them which flowers her mother had left behind. Which flowers were re-potted later, which flowers were grafted from the flower trees left behind by her mother, and which ones were added later...... Zhou Shaojin originally liked to make flowers and grass, not only it was interesting to listen to, but when she encountered something she didn't understand, she would ask Mama Yu.

Mama Yu saw that Zhou Shaojin asked some insider's words, and felt that Zhou Shaojin was worthy of being Zhuang's biological daughter, and even her temperament was the same. said even more energetically, led her to pick a few pots of orchids, and said, "...... All of them are rare varieties that will bloom one after another when the autumn breeze comes together. Afraid that she would not know, she also instructed the gardener who was over sixty years old to find some red notes, "I will write first, second, third, fourth, and the eldest and second ladies according to the arrangement." These pots of flowers can bloom from mid-autumn to early spring. When the flowers bloom, if there is no one to take care of them, the second lady will send the flowers over again. Wait for the beginning of spring. I'll send another batch to Miss Er. ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded again and again.

When the old gardener found a red note, Sister Zhou Shaojin helped write the note.

Mama Yu sighed: "These words were still told by Mrs. Zhuang back then, she was afraid that I would confuse her flowers, so she posted these words on the flower pot to tell me to admit it, and I have never missed it since." ”

Zhou Chujin and Zhou Shaojin were stunned for a while before they began to write notes.

After the sticker was written, Zhou Shaojin saw that Mama Yu was old, and wanted Shi Xiang to find a small servant to help Mama Yu move these pots of flowers to the flower shelf, but she turned around. But I saw my father Zhou Zhen.

He leaned against the doorframe of the conservatory and watched them quietly. The eyes were a little sad, as if they had seen something that made him sad.

When did Father come?

Zhou Shaojin cautiously shouted: "Dad! ”

Zhou Chujin also discovered Zhou Zhen.

She was quite surprised and shouted "Dad".

Zhou Zhen let out an "oh" as if he had just woken up from a big dream. He stood up straight, his eyes full of sadness, replaced by a warm smile and a cheerful expression like the summer sun.

"How did you get here?" As he spoke, he walked in, lovingly touched the leaves of the Hui Xinlan left by his mother, and said, "I didn't expect this flower to grow so well?" ”

Zhou Chujin and Zhou Shaojin didn't know what to say for a while.

Mama Yu hurriedly squatted on her knees and saluted, which broke the silence here.

Zhou Zhen asked Zhou Shaojin: "Like to raise flowers?" ”

Zhou Shaojin said with a smile: "When it's okay, it's messy, and it's not as good as my mother's flowers." ”

"That's because you live in Cheng's house." Zhou Zhen smiled, "Your mother said the same when she first married me. Later, it became her home, and her flowers got better and better. ”

Didn't my mother make this her home in the first place?

Didn't you think of the dealer as your own home?

Zhou Shaojin looked at his father suspiciously.

Zhou Zhen had already put this sentence behind him and said, "Shaojin, you play here for a while, I have something to say to your sister." ”

Zhou Chujin and Zhou Shaojin were very surprised. But he still obediently responded, one went to the study with Zhou Zhen, and the other waited in the greenhouse.

Zhou Shaojin sat on his elbows in the conservatory, watching the sun gradually set, but he didn't feel lonely.

It's my own home.

I never get tired of watching it.

My sister is eighteen years old, and it would be nice if I could convince my father to let her and my sister move back in!

She was thinking wildly there, and Zhou Chujin walked over with a morning glow on her face, and said to her shyly: "Daddy asked you to go to the study!" ”

What did my father say to my sister?

She curiously grabbed Zhou Chujin's arm.

Zhou Chujin refused to say anything, but just urged her: "Go to the study quickly, Daddy is still waiting for you in the study!" ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled and decided to wait until he went to bed at night to ask his sister.
