Cheng Lu and Cheng Xu are both in the Water Pavilion.

What is Pan Qing going to do there?

Zhou Shaojin faintly felt that this matter should have something to do with Cheng Xu.

But why did she choose to see Cheng Xu today?

Do the people in the third room know it?

She looked towards Cheng Xian.

Cheng Xianzheng was talking to Mrs. Yuda with a smile, as if he didn't notice that Pan Qing, who had been by her side all the time, was no longer in the flower hall at this time.

She looked at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li smiled and listened to Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Tang talking, as if she didn't pay attention to the characters around her.

Zhou Shaojin looked at Jiang again.

Although Jiang Shi's face was full of smiles, she was not as enthusiastic and active as usual, but stood quietly beside her, listening to others, and the corner of her eyes was still quickly moving towards the door leading to the water pavilion in the east from time to time.

Zhou Shaojin understood.

It turned out that Pan Qing was supported by Sanfang, or was Sanfang instructed?

She sneered in her heart, pulled Cheng Ji's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Pan Qing went to the Water Pavilion, should we go and see?" ”

"Go, of course." Cheng Ji followed Zhou Shaojin out of the flower hall again without hesitation, "What is she doing in the Water Pavilion?" ”

"I don't know." Zhou Shaojin said, "Let's take a look first and then make plans." ”

Cheng Ji nodded.

The two cautiously walked towards the water pavilion.

Soon, they saw Pan Qing.

She stood under a big banyan tree outside the water pavilion, looking at the water pavilion with a tangled expression, looking like she couldn't make up her mind whether to go in or leave.

Cheng Ji immediately jumped up and whispered, "She must have come to find Brother Xu Cong." Look at her like that, even if she loves Brother Xu Cong, can't she be a little reserved? I have to chase after her in such a hurry, so if people see it, I think she can't get married...... Where does this make grandmothers, aunts, and mothers put their faces? My mother still praises her all day long, didn't she slap my mother in the face? What a shame......"

Zhou Shaojin was silent for a moment.

Cheng Ji...... inadvertently said that Sanfang's mind was ...... Pan Qing just wants to marry Cheng Xu, and Sanfang really wants to be close to Changfang......

She thought of what the servants had been saying all along: "...... Don't look at the three-room jump, the business is big, there is money, and it is all things floating on the water. As soon as they met the long room and the second room, they immediately stopped cooking. You know why? Because the third room has never been an official - there is no long room and the second room to help greet them, and the third room pharmacy does not say anything else, that is, this checkpoint tax from the northwest to Jinling can peel off a layer of skin from the third room, and say anything about doing business. ”

This is also the reason why Zhou Shaojin did not take these words to heart.

Cheng Jin, the old lady of the third room, used to be the seed of reading, and he also passed the examination with Cheng Shao, the second old lady of the long room, all the way, and then Cheng Jin took the initiative to give up his career and concentrate on taking care of the business of the third room, so that the Yongshoutang pharmacy in the third room became the largest pharmaceutical merchant in Jiangnan, but the big man of the third room, Cheng Lu, has been obedient since he was a child, and he is willing to study hard, but he is only a talent in the examination, and he really has no talent for reading. It stands to reason that Cheng Lu should have given up the imperial examination a long time ago. But he was still studying, and Cheng Jin didn't persuade him, so he raised him like this, but let his son Cheng Zheng, that is, Cheng Ji's brother, walk in front, and he was selected for Xiucai at a young age......

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaojin's heart jumped.

If she remembers correctly, Cheng Zheng seems to be a sixteen-year-old Xiucai, and she has not participated in the imperial examination since then.

Even if his basic skills are not solid, four years have passed, but he will not try...... For a family like the Cheng family that has elders who can guide the younger generations to do business, it is a bit unreasonable.

In his previous life, Cheng Zheng began to participate in the examination after Cheng Xu's accident, when he began to drink and become decadent, and there was no hope, and he was guided by Cheng Jing, and soon surpassed Cheng Zhi in the first exam, and entered the Shuji Pavilion......

Zhou Shaojin felt that it was a little difficult to breathe and exhale.

Could it be that the long room and the second room have been working together to suppress the third room and prevent the third room from achieving anything in their careers...... Therefore, in the marriage of Pan Qing and Cheng Xu, they took risks...... Pan Qing married into the long house, in addition to marriage, in a sense, it may be a signal of reconciliation...... Is it because of this that my grandmother is reluctant to be a matchmaker and reveal to the Yuan family that Cheng Xian wants to marry her daughter to Cheng Xu?

What happened when the family broke up?

Zhou Shaojin looked at the splendid splendor in front of her, and there was a feeling that all she saw was a mirage, but in fact there was a huge monster squatting in front of her, as long as she was not careful, he would show his original form and swallow them all.

"Shaojin, Shaojin." Cheng Ji gently pushed her.

Zhou Shaojin came back to his senses.

Cheng Ji complained: "You can get distracted when I talk to you, I really convinced you!" Didn't you say that there was a way to disgrace Pan Qing? Now what do we do? ”

What to do?

In her previous life, even if Sanfang was not directly involved in the matter of being humiliated by Cheng Xu, she must have handed the knife to the side.

In this life, she wants to expose the true face of Sanfang.

At least, Mrs. Guo had to know the purpose of the third room.

Pan Qing's actions not only have her own meaning, but also the support of Sanfang.

"Let's go back to the flower hall." Zhou Shaojin said, "You can't let the people in the water pavilion find Pan Qing." ”

In her previous life, a big reason why the Yuan family hated her was because her appearance destroyed the marriage between Cheng Min and Cheng Xu's future.

Pan Qing's family is no better than her, and marrying Pan Qing to Cheng Xu also prevents Cheng Xu from marrying a more prominent family. Cheng Cheng Cheng and Cheng Zhi are both beneficiaries.

Shuixie has Cheng Zheng, Pan Hao, and Cheng Zhi who is watching the fire on the other side and is ready to add fuel to the fire at any time, their interests are the same at this time, with them helping Pan Qing, it is impossible for her to catch the handle of the third room.

Zhou Shaojin pulled Cheng Ji and went to the flower hall.

Cheng Ji was caught off guard, was dragged by her and stumbled, and said angrily: "What are you going to do?" Why did you suddenly become so strong......"

Zhou Shaojin didn't have time to explain to her - she couldn't explain it clearly, so as soon as she entered the flower hall, she grabbed the housekeeper who was serving in the flower hall and said Pan Qinglai: "...... We haven't come back after going out for so long, and we haven't seen it when we just went to the official house, so you can send someone to look for it. ”

The official room is an elegant dialect that refers to the toilet bowl and refers to the hair toilet.

Her voice is not loud, but it is not small, gentle and gentle, full of care.

Many people looked over and found that Pan Qing was not in the flower hall.

Mrs. Li looked a little uncomfortable and said, "This kid, I don't know where he went?" Seeing Cheng Ji and Zhou Shaojin together, he said, "Girl, aren't you with your cousin?" Know where she went? ”

This is really an open-eyed nonsense.

Cheng Ji has obviously been with her, but Mrs. Li said that Cheng Ji has always been with Pan Qing.

Zhou Shaojin frowned almost invisibly when he saw Jiang's brows, and wanted to say something, but was preempted by Cheng Ji: "No!" I've been with Shao Jin all the time, if you don't believe me, you can ask Shao Jin, we just came back from the official room together. ”

She looked ignorant and didn't react at all, so Mrs. Li was silent for a long time.

Zhou Shaojin almost burst out laughing.

Pan Qing and a little maid hurriedly walked in from outside.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, her face was slightly red, and she said with a blank expression: "Is something wrong?" Then he explained, "I went to the official room just now, and when I came out, I saw a few orchids blooming right next to the flower hall, so I went over to take a look. Is there something going on? ”

"What can happen?" Jiang immediately smiled and said, "It's your cousin Shaojin, I didn't see you, I'm a little worried about you, let's go find you......"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the flower hall immediately became lively and festive again. Everyone goes after what they say, and every man does his own thing.

Pan Qing stepped forward with a smile and thanked Zhou Shaojin for her concern.

Zhou Shaojin noticed that the little maid beside Pan Qing was not the one she was used to, but the little maid who whispered to her in front of the water pavilion just now.

She didn't speak, and smiled at Pan Qing.

Pan Qing glanced at Cheng Ji coldly.

Cheng Ji is incomprehensible.

Zhou Shaojin knew that Pan Qing had misunderstood Cheng Ji, she thought that Cheng Ji was always paying attention to her, and shouted when she saw that she was gone.

Cheng Ji...... Sometimes it's really wronged......

Zhou Shaojin lowered his eyelids.

Cheng Ji was so angry that he was about to say something, but he was called over by Jiang.

Zhou Shaojin thought about it, and saw Mrs. Chu talking to people in the south corner of the flower hall, walked over with a smile, and said softly: "When I went out just now, I found that there were people on the other side of the water pavilion, and I asked the grandmothers in charge to know that they knew my cousin and they were enjoying the shade over there." Look, should we send someone over there to serve, it's still an hour before we pay our respects! ”

Mrs. Chu nodded again and again, instructed a housekeeper to do this, and praised her with a smile: "It's still Shaojin who is careful, otherwise I wouldn't know about this matter!" ”

Several women next to her also praised her.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but blush, muttered a few words, and then turned around to find Cheng Ji.

The mother-in-law beside Jiang looked at Cheng Ji and didn't let her move around at will.

Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Ji sat in the corner where Jiang could see at a glance, and whispered to Pan Qing with the same enemy.

The sun was rising.

Almost all the guests arrived.

The flower hall was full of laughter and laughter, and it was even more lively.

Pan Qing, who was originally sitting in the corner with Cheng Xian, was gone.

She remained silent and continued to talk to Cheng Ji.

After a while, the little maid staring at Pan Qing glanced at her.

Zhou Shaojin sat for a moment and said to Cheng Ji: "I'm going to the official room, will you go?" ”

"Go!" Cheng Ji sat down with a stomach full of resentment and wanted to walk around.

There was a little maid who ran to sue the Jiang family.

Jiang nodded.

The mother-in-law of the third room accompanied Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Ji out of the flower hall.

Zhou Shaojin motioned for the woman to stand far away, and then whispered to Cheng Ji: "Do you dare to go to the water pavilion with me!" ”

Cheng Ji's big black and white eyes blinked.

Zhou Shaojin smiled and nodded.

"Run!" Cheng Ji took Zhou Shaojin's hand and ran towards the water pavilion, "What's the big deal!" It's a big deal to come back and be beaten up by my mother! I'd rather be beaten by my mother than see Pan Qing's fake appearance! ”
