Liao Shaotang only stayed in Baoding Mansion for one night, and left for Tianjin early the next morning.

He will take the waterway back to Zhenjiang for the New Year.

Zhou Shaojin brought the steaming rock sugar red bean soup to the study and asked Zhou Zhen, "What did your brother-in-law and you say?" ”

Looking at his daughter who was dressed in a pink clean-faced Hangzhou silk gown, Zhou Zhen's smile overflowed from his heart.

He joked to Zhou Shaojin: "Your brother-in-law told me a lot of things, what do you want to know?" ”

Zhou Shaojin pursed her lips and smiled, "I wonder if my brother-in-law will take my sister to the capital?" So that I can go to see my sister often. ”

Zhou Zhen said with a smile: "Your brother-in-law rushed over in such a hurry, in addition to suing me about the Cheng family, he also wanted to discuss your sister's matter with me." The Liao family has made a lot of trouble in recent years, not only because of the selfishness of the clansmen, but also because the sect master of Liao is unable to convince the public. Mrs. Liao and your sister are just women in the house, and some things are powerless even if they have a heart, and sometimes they will be implicated by Lord Liao. Your brother-in-law wants to take their mother and son into Beijing when your sister gives birth to a child, and is afraid that your sister will not be able to take the child too young, so I thought of discussing whether to invite Mrs. Liao to Beijing after going back, so that I can take care of your sister and stop the mouths of those people in the Liao family. I asked him to go back and discuss Chu Jin. If Chu Jin feels that it is difficult to take care of the child alone, then invite Mrs. Liao and your sister to take care of the child in the capital; If your sister thinks that she is capable, Mrs. Liao is a clan woman after all, and she has been away from her family for too long and falls into the eyes of the elders in the clan, it is also unfilial. He had to balance that. ”

Zhou Shaojin chuckled and said, "Daddy, you are so cunning!" ”

My sister is so capable, and there is a group of servant women to serve, how can she not even take care of a child.

When my father said this, he clearly disapproved of Mrs. Liao and her sister going to Beijing together.

Zhou Zhen smiled and scratched her nose, called her "ghost clever", and then sighed: "The main thing is that the Liao family is too chaotic now, if Mrs. Liao doesn't help your sister block it, your sister's life will not be easy." After a few years, Mrs. Liao is old, and your brother-in-law can stand alone again, and it is not too late to take Mrs. Liao over. It's a little early. ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded again and again.

A wife is more precious than her husband.

picked up Mrs. Liao, and Master Liao also came to Beijing to live in Beijing every other day, and then the third aunt and sixth uncle of the Liao family also came to visit Mr. Liao and Mrs. Liao when they entered Beijing, and the affairs of the Liao family would still trouble the brother-in-law and sister. Now my brother-in-law doesn't have the title of the gold list, and he has no weight to talk at home, and his brother-in-law can't help solve those things, but he will only make people upset.

In his previous life, Zhou Shaojin had been taught.

Once, my sister had no choice but to hide in her grange and pretend to be sick.

In this life, Zhou Shaojin hopes that her sister can have a few healthy children, take care of her body, and now go to fight with the Liao family.

The father and daughter talked in the study for a long time, and it was not until Tan Dianshi of the Zhaomo Division asked to see Zhou Zhen that Zhou Shaojin returned to the inner courtyard.

But as soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she saw that Li was sending Mrs. Huang out of the hall.

Seeing Zhou Shaojin, Mrs. Huang greeted her warmly and said, "Where did the second miss go?" Tomorrow, Squire Wang's house will invite everyone to enjoy the flowers, and the second lady will also go together. Such a beautiful person, locked up at home and not allowed to see, is really tyrannical. ”

Zhou Shaojin frowned secretly.

She doesn't like people to talk about her appearance.

But she still smiled and said hello to Mrs. Huang, and then went back to the wing.

After a while, Li came over and said, "Don't you want to go?" ”

"I don't want to go." Zhou Shaojin said, "I like to stay at home and don't like to go out. ”

Li saw a pair of naïve tumblers on the windowsill, a few camellias slanted into the tea bottles on the coffee table, and half of the pocket embroidered for Zhou Youjin was exposed in the sewing basket on the kang head. She vaguely understood Zhou Shaojin's temperament, and smiled with relief: "I know." Then I will go and refuse the squire Wang's house. ”

"That's not necessary." Zhou Shaojin smiled, "I won't go, you can go." There will be many such things in the future, you can't blindly accommodate me, and I don't feel at ease even if I stay at home. ”

Li Shi said vaguely: "Let's wait until I discuss it, master!" ”

Zhou Shaojin made up his mind not to go.

She didn't want to know anyone, and she thought it was good to live like this now.

Zhou Zhen felt that she should know a few more people and persuaded her to participate in the flower viewing party of Wang Xiang's family.

Zhou Shaojin was a little unhappy and said, "I'm taking Youjin with me at home." ”

Zhou Zhen immediately changed his words and said, "If you don't want to go, it's better not to go." ”

Zhou Shaojin showed his face at this time.

Zhou Zhen shook his head with a smile.

Zhou Shaojin thought about an old man and said, "Dad, do you know the Fan family in Baoding?" The eldest lady of the Liangguo Mansion married into the Fan family in Baoding, I want to go and see her, you can help me ask! ”

Zhou Zhen responded.

Who knew that Zhou Youjin started to heat up that night, burned her little face red, and cried non-stop.

Zhou Shaojin was terrified.

In her previous life, her sister died young.

She knelt in awe in front of the shrine and prayed for Zhou Youjin's blessing.

Two days later, Zhou Youjin recovered.

Zhou Shaojin breathed a sigh of relief and decided to go to the Great Compassion Pavilion to offer incense.

Zhou Zhen knew about her prayer for Zhou Youjin, and wondered if she might have made a promise in front of the Bodhisattva when Zhou Youjin was sick, and she wanted to repay her vow. didn't stop her, and sent a guard to escort her to the Great Compassion Pavilion.

Li Shi was very moved, and took Zhou Shaojin's hand with red eyes and didn't say anything for a long time.

Zhou Shaojin was not comforting, smiled, and went back to the wing.

But on that day, it snowed heavily.

The snowflakes were like flakes, and large patches fell, but with a stick of incense, the roof turned white.

Li hesitated: "With such a heavy snowfall, the second lady should go to the incense another day!" ”

"It's fine." Zhou Shaojin said with a smile, "The more windy and snowy the day, the more we have to go-Bodhisattva knows our sincerity." ”

Li Shi is not good at stopping her.

Zhou Zhen, who was in the public court, only said "Be careful on the road", and then sent two more guards.

The group braved the snow to arrive at the Great Compassion Pavilion.

Maybe because the wind and snow were too strong, there were no people in the temple.

Zhou Shaojin reverently knelt in front of the Bodhisattva and put on three incense sticks and donated ten taels of silver for sesame oil.

The monk Zhike led her to the front of the merit.

Four or five men approached him.

She lowered her head and stepped aside.

The men were talking, passing by her.

She heard someone say, "Chased here, and disappeared."

Then a familiar voice said, "Doesn't he often settle down in Li Er's kid's shop?" You send someone to keep an eye on the ......."

The tone of the person who spoke was very fierce, and Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but glance up.

She suddenly struck like a lightning strike, lowered her head in a panic, and did not leave a surname on the merit book until the group was far away, and hurried back to the carriage.

"Mama Shang," she pulled Mama Shang to sit down in the carriage and said in a low voice, "I met that one named Xiao Zhenhai, and what else did he say about losing people, making people stare at a shop named Li Er......"

Although Mama Shang tried her best to hide it, her face still changed, and she said, "Second Miss, why don't we go back first?" ”

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly told the coachman to hurry back, and then said to Mama Shang: "If you have something, go first, I have guards on my side to protect you." Father, I said that I asked the master in the temple to do things and left you there. After speaking, she advised, "You can't speak in front of the Buddha." When you're done, remember to go to the temple to do a ritual. Then she took out two silver tickets of ten taels and handed them to Mama Shang, "One for your own use, and one for the temple to do things." ”

Mama Shang looked at her anxious face, her heart was full of emotions, she was silent for a moment, took the silver ticket in her hand, and said in a low voice: "The fourth master told me not to leave the second miss at any time. It's not too late for me to send the second lady back to the house. ”

Zhou Shaojin felt scared when she thought of the look at her that time when Xiao Zhenhai looked at her, but she still said: "There are priorities, Mama, you can do your thing." I'm guarded here, and I'm under my father's rule, so I'll be fine. ”

But Mama Shang still sent her to the gate of the yamen before leaving.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The mother-in-law on duty immediately greeted her when she heard the movement, and said courteously: "Second Miss, someone is coming from Jinling Jiuru Lane." Said what the fourth master is coming. I look very young, where do I look like a master? But the adults were very polite to the four masters......"

Four masters?

Could it be Cheng Chi?

Zhou Shaojin's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but show surprise on the ground, and ran towards Zhou Zhen's study with his skirt.

The Spring Festival Gala was stunned and chased after it.

The mother-in-law on duty shouted, "Second Miss, take your steps carefully." We swept the snow, and the verandah was paved with bluestone bricks, which was blown by the cold wind and was very ......slippery."

Where would Zhou Shaojin listen carefully to what the mother-in-law shouted, hurriedly ran to the door of Zhou Zhen's study, and stretched out his hand to pick up the cotton curtain, who knew that if his feet were low, he would have to slip forward.

She said "ouch" and was about to pounce on the door.

The cotton curtain was lifted, and she threw herself into the arms of a man in a blue auspicious cloud and a silk robe.

The tip of Zhou Shaojin's nose lingered with a faint fragrance, if there was nothing.

"Uncle Chi!" She jumped for joy.

The warm eyebrows and eyes, the warm smile.

Isn't it Uncle Chi or who?

Before Zhou Shaojin could speak, his feet slipped again.

She hurriedly grabbed Cheng Chi's shirt.

Cheng Chi smiled and grabbed her arm.

Zhou Zhen appeared behind Cheng Chi as he spoke: "...... Since you're here, how can you stay at the inn! The guest room on the east side is still empty......" raised his eyes and saw Zhou Shaojin snuggled in Cheng Chi's arms, his eyes widened and his mouth stammered.

Zhou Shaojin's heart was weak, and he was suddenly confused.

Cheng Chi was calm and calm, and said with a smile: "Stand firm, don't let me go, you slip again!" ”

"No, it won't!" Zhou Shaojin's face was red and his ears were red, and he stumbled and said.

Cheng Chi slowly let go of Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin stood aside cautiously.

Zhou Zhen reacted and said hurriedly: "How is it?" Did you fall somewhere? ”

"Nope!" Zhou Shaojin's face was hot, and he was busy confirming Cheng Chi's innocence, "If Uncle Chi hadn't pulled me just now, I would have fallen to the ground." ”

Zhou Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Cheng Chi with a smile.
