Chapter 450: Undercurrent (The Third Update of the First Plus of the Pink Ticket in June)
Mrs. Guo summoned Zhou Shaojin and Fang Xuan over, pulled Zhou Shaojin with one hand, pulled Fang Xuan with the other, looked at Zhou Shaojin with a gentle smile, looked at Fang Xuan again, and said to the people in the house: "Look at these two little girls, they are like pearls in the morning dew, which makes people feel happy when they see it." ”
Second Mrs. Fang's expression suddenly became a little stiff.
Zhou Shaojin is notoriously beautiful, as long as it is the first time to see her, no one does not look twice. Fang Xuan is also very beautiful, but if she stands in front of Zhou Shaojin, she is quite reluctant.
Is the old lady praising Fang Xuan or hurting Fang Xuan?
Second Mrs. Fang really muttered in her heart.
Fang Xuan's face was also a little unsightly.
The old lady praised Zhou Shaojin and praised Zhou Shaojin, why pull her in to be a foil for Zhou Shaojin?
There is not a single person who can stand in this room who is not a human spirit.
Mrs. Guo has an outstanding status, who will correct Mrs. Guo without eyes?
Everyone laughed, praising Zhou Shaojin and Fang Xuan for being beautiful, but their eyes couldn't help but linger on Zhou Shaojin's body for a few more breaths.
Zhou Shaojin was also a little uncomfortable being looked at by everyone like this, but she has always been well-behaved and sensible, no matter what reason Mrs. Guo did this, she would accept it quietly. So when everyone's eyes fell on her, she tried her best to make her smile natural and sweet, her manners generous and decent, and her speech was gentle and tactful, so as to live up to the reputation that Mrs. Guo once pointed out to her.
A few wives nodded secretly when they looked at it, and some even quietly asked the Yuan family if Zhou Shaojin had made a marriage.
Yuan was happy to see it, and praised Zhou Shaojin well, as if Cheng Xu and the eldest lady of the Min family had already had a marriage contract, she would marry Zhou Shaojin for Cheng Xu. In addition, when the wives saw that Zhou Shaojin was indeed as docile as Yuan said, they also paid attention and talked to Zhou Chujin.
Zhou Chujin couldn't wait for his father's letter to come as soon as he immediately found a person for Zhou Shaojin, and he was extra patient with those people.
Everyone is a clear-eyed person, and when they see this, they are even more enthusiastic, which makes Zhou Shaojin feel uncomfortable, hiding behind Zhou Chujin's back and not speaking, everyone thinks that she is gentle and graceful, and Fang Xuan is angry, and finally waited until Mrs. Guo gave her birthday, and she pulled her mother's sleeve to go home.
Second Mrs. Fang was also uncomfortable, but she couldn't just leave, right?
She patiently persuaded her daughter: "You are a big girl, you should know that the sun and stars in this world do not turn it, how can you shout to go home because of this little thing?" This is Mrs. Guo's birthday banquet, you will marry someone in the future and have a husband's family, will your mother-in-law reconcile with her husband if she doesn't listen to a word? ”
Her daughter is really spoiled by her, and she has to find another opportunity to talk to her daughter.
Fang Xuan had no choice but to grit her teeth and stay, looking at Mrs. Li with a smile on her face and looking at Zhou Shaojin.
A little maid came in and said, "Old lady, the masters have also given you birthday greetings!" ”
Old man Guo sat on the Luohan bed in the hall with a smile, except for a few ladies and old ladies, other female relatives avoided one after another.
Cheng Chi walked in with his two elder brothers.
Or because it was Mrs. Guo's birthday, he wore a dark red bamboo leaf pattern straight jacket, jet-black green silk with white hosta, and the apricot carved silk embroidered gold thread on the Pisces purse on the waist flashed from time to time, graceful and handsome.
Zhou Shaojin's eyes couldn't be removed for a moment.
She hadn't seen Uncle Chi for a long time.
He's still the same.
No, he's still more handsome than ever...... Pretty......
Zhou Shaojin looked at Cheng Chi stupidly, everyone in this hall seemed to have disappeared, she could only see him, she could only see him. He didn't notice Cheng Xu who walked in behind Cheng Chi at all.
Zhou Chujin was really anxious and angry.
Fortunately, she kept an eye on it and stood by the floor cover, forgetting to gently lift the curtain to see the scene in the hall.
She quietly twisted Zhou Shaojin's arm and warned her in a low voice: "You give me a little restraint, be careful of being seen by others." Then he took a few steps forward and blocked Zhou Shaojin behind him.
Zhou Shaojin was stunned, retracted his eyes, but couldn't help but want to look outside.
Zhou Chujin found that Second Mrs. Fang and Fang Xuan were standing next to the screen not far from them, their eyes were slightly slanted, and they could see the people who came to pay their respects to Mrs. Guo, while Fang Xuan was wide-eyed, not knowing what surprised her.
She stretched her neck without standing on tiptoe, and looked at Fang Xuan along the way.
Zhou Chujin saw Cheng Chi...... There is also Cheng Xu.
Cheng Xu was silent a lot, and the originally dazzling light suddenly became quiet and introverted, as if he had experienced the experience of Hongchen and grew up a lot at once.
Zhou Chujin originally hated him to death, but when he saw him at this time, he didn't know why, but he faintly sympathized.
She sighed secretly.
I don't know who Fang Xuan saw? Why are you so surprised...... It would be nice if she looked at the medium-range pool. With the friendship between Cheng and Fang, this is also a family affair.
Why hasn't her father replied to her yet?
Could it be that the letter was not delivered?
Or was there something unexpected?
Zhou Chujin was a little uneasy.
Fang Xuan was looking at Cheng Chi.
This was the second time she had seen Cheng Chi.
The first time was on the way to greet Mrs. Guo, when he glanced back at her. She didn't know who he was at the time, but the way he looked at her made her feel a little weird, as if ...... It's very emotional...... She was very impressed.
This time, she guessed who he was, but she didn't expect him to be so young. He doesn't look like he is twenty-seven or eight years old at all, and he has a good bearing, Cheng Xu follows him, such as Xingzi and Haoyue, there is no comparison at all...... I heard that he didn't get married, and I don't know why?
For a while, Fang Xuan's heart was a little confused.
Second Mrs. Fang saw it in her eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
If the daughter likes it, then there is no better marriage.
She turned around and found Mrs. Liao smiling at her.
Obviously, Fang Xuan's abnormality was also discovered.
The two tacitly exchanged understanding glances.
In the hall, Cheng Jing and others gave Mrs. Guo a birthday greeting, gave their birthday gifts, said a few auspicious words, and retreated.
Everyone poured out from behind the screens on the left and right, and congratulated Mrs. Guo one after another.
"A three-jinshi, and there is also a Xie Yuanlang, your old man is really blessed!"
"It's not uncommon for brothers to be Jinshi, but like the old lady, the eldest son is Ge Lao, and the second son is Hanlin, which is really rare!"
"Old lady, this is also the first, right?"
Mrs. Guo smiled reservedly, but her eyes could not hide her joy.
A wife who knew about Cheng Chi simply put the icing on the cake and said: "In the past, the Cheng family had a large population, and although the third master was named on the gold list, there was a way to throw away the chores in the family. Now that Changfang has settled in the capital, there are not so many trivial things. got the recommendation of Song Jingran and Song Gelao, and hung up the title of Wailang in the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry, and was going to the River Governor's Mansion in Jining to help the River Governor Yang Shoushan Yang to control the water. ”
The people in the house are all the female dependents of the eunuchs, who don't know that the river, Caoyun, salt transportation, and the city Bo Division are all the heaviest yamen.
As soon as he took office, he was from Liupin, and he also went to the Governor's Palace...... Eight of the ten people looked at Mrs. Guo eagerly, constantly praising Mrs. Guo's blessings, and two people began to secretly exchange glances in private, although they were smiling with their own identities.
Zhou Shaojin was a little surprised at first, but she quickly rejoiced for Cheng Chi.
Uncle Chi, finally he won't leave the Cheng family like in his previous life!
And he did what he loved.
He's definitely going to get more and more in the future, right?
Thinking of this, Zhou Shaojin felt that it was great to be able to separate sects with Jiuru Lane.
Yuan's ...... Nor is it desirable......
Zhou Chujin was in a mixed mood.
Cheng Chi hasn't shown up these days, is he going to do this?
The Cheng family is not short of this bit of silver, he didn't go to the Ministry of Officials, he didn't go to the Governor's Courtyard, Dali Temple but went to the River Governor's Mansion, is this to be released?
Is it possible that Shaojin has something to do with it?
Maybe in her heart, she still can't connect that high-spirited Uncle Huachi with the villain who seduced her sister, and she still has a glimmer of hope for Cheng Chi......
Yuan looked at the liver pain.
One day, if she can be complimented like the old lady, she will not live this life in vain.
Thinking of this, she glanced at the third wife of the Min family, who came to pay homage to Mrs. Guo's birthday on behalf of the Min family.
With the support of the Min family, it will only be twenty years at most, and it is possible that in only fifteen years, their Jiashan family will be able to worship the prime minister and enter the cabinet, right?
There is also the Fang family, the second master of the Fang family is famous for his long-sleeved dancing, if Fang Xuan marries Cheng Chi, she is a big matchmaker, why should the second master of the Fang family look at it differently, right?
Yuan's heart warmed up again.
When listening to the play, while the first play had just been sung, and the cloud board of the other play had not yet sounded, she took Fang Xuan to the front of Mrs. Guo and said with a smile: "Mother, Ah Xuan used to accompany my aunts and uncles to watch the play, your eyes are not good, let her help you read the lyrics of the play?" ”
Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "You, let me tell you how good you are!" When you're smart, you're so smart that you can think of anything. But when he was confused, he was really confused, and he took everything for granted - how old is Ah Xuan? It's the age of fun and activity, you let her accompany me to the play, detain her around us old ladies, and don't let her be bored. I know your filial piety! Ah Xuan, let's go play with Shao Jin! The weather is good today, and you can still row boats in the garden, so you can't bear to listen to the play, so go to the garden to play! ”
Zhou Shaojin wants to go.
Maybe you can run into Uncle Chi!
Of course, Zhou Chujin would not allow her to go, pressing her with his eyes and not letting her move.
Fang Xuan used to be the most impatient to sit with the old ladies and watch the plays, those plays were either singing about guarding the cold kiln for eighteen years or singing about a pair of children looking for a husband for thousands of miles...... But this time, I don't know why, she wanted to serve Mrs. Guo well and make Mrs. Guo happy.
