Cheng Chi laughed, touched Zhou Shaojin's flower-like face, and said, "How could I leave you behind!" ”

Zhou Shaojin breathed a sigh of relief.

Then there's nothing to worry about.

The two went to see off Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo, who had a lilac-colored carved silk cloak of gray squirrel skin in her hand, took Zhou Shaojin's hand as if she was going out and instructed Cheng Chi: "Even though the entertainment between colleagues is important, if you drink and lose your temper, it will outweigh the losses. A few elders are going to walk around, and your mentor and fellow students should not forget to give gifts at that time. Go early in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve and talk to your second uncle. In the second year of junior high school, Aunt Gu, Aunt Yuan, and Aunt Peng will all come over, and you will also come to accompany the guests......"

Cheng Chi nodded respectfully "yes".

A little maid said through the curtain: "Old lady, the second master, the lady and the second wife are here." ”

This time it was Cheng Wei who came to pick up Mrs. Guo.

Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin went out to greet each other.

The brothers had their own agreement when they met, and the three concubines also politely greeted each other, and everyone went to the main room of Tingxiang Courtyard.

After greeting Mrs. Guo and knowing that they had already had breakfast, Mrs. Guo stood up very neatly and said, "Then go over!" ”

Cheng Chi hugged Mrs. Guo out of the door, Yuan helped Mrs. Guo to get into the carriage, Qiu took the opportunity to glance at Zhou Shaojin, and said in a low voice: "You go with us!" ”

Zhou Shaojin was slightly stunned.

Cheng Chi knew that she had a knot, so he had already thought of an excuse to tell Mrs. Guo, and today he sent Mrs. Guo over, and she stayed at home. But she also knew that the Qiu family had always been kind to her, and she could say such things. There must be a reason.

She pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. hurriedly walked to Cheng Chi's side and whispered to him about it.

Cheng Chi immediately said, "Then you can go over." We sent my mother to the door. ”

So. Isn't it true that Cheng Chi can only send Mrs. Guo to the door?

Mrs. Guo must be unhappy when she sees it!

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaojin took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, I'll come back with you when I talk to my mother." ”

Now that it's over, I'm afraid that I can't leave with a conversation, so I have to stay there for lunch at least.

Cheng Chi expressed his worries.

Zhou Shaojin suddenly felt that something was wrong.

It's Yuan who is sorry for herself, why should she avoid it, and even Cheng Chi has to hide with her?

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help straightening his back and said, "Shiro." Shall we stay there for lunch? The private dishes of Jiuru Lane are very delicious, but unfortunately I have not tasted them a few times at that time, Xinglin Hutong is the old house of Jiuru Lane in the capital, and the people who come and go are the eunuchs, presumably the kitchen will also do the private dishes of Jiuru Lane, and when the time comes, we will also learn a few like to eat and go back to entertain guests. ”

Cheng Chi looked at Zhou Shaojin's expression, but saw that although her expression was gentle, her eyes were a little flexible, and he thought of her quiet tenacity. laughed and said in a low voice: "Then listen to my wife's orders, let's go to Xinglin Hutong for lunch!" ”

There are some things that Shao Jin can't avoid forever.

Look. is the best oblivion.

Mrs. Guo and the Yuan family sat in a car, and Cheng Chi personally helped Zhou Shaojin into Qiu's carriage.

Qiu smiled slightly and asked the accompanying mother-in-law to put down the curtain.

Zhou Shaojin said: "Second sister-in-law." Thank you for reminding me. ”

Qiu Shi was very happy to see that she could listen to her words without hesitation like this. is even more intimate with Zhou Shaojin. She said in a low voice: "In the past few days, my sister-in-law has met someone and said that my mother will go back to Xinglin Hutong today. I'm afraid that when the time comes, some neighbors will come to visit my mother, and the daughters-in-law will not be there. Others see it in their eyes and keep it in their hearts, and that's how preconceived ideas come about. And said, "Don't dislike me for talking too much, you are younger than Ah Sheng!" ”

The implication is that she can raise Zhou Shaojin at her age.

Zhou Shaojin was very grateful to Qiu's for her support, hugged Qiu's arm, and said, "I'm young and don't understand anything, if I do something wrong, the second sister-in-law just says that I am." If I hadn't married the fourth master by chance, what would I have to call Ah Sheng a cousin? ”

Qiu Shi chuckled lowly, patted Zhou Shaojin's hand, and accepted her words.

Zhou Shaojin asked about Qiu's move: "Can you set a good date?" At that time, we will also bring a few firecrackers over to congratulate the second uncle and second sister-in-law! ”

Everyone lives separately and walks around each other affectionately, which is the upbringing and affection of the family of poetry, calligraphy and rituals.

How could Qiu refuse?

"It's set for the twenty-second of the first month." Qiu laughed in a low voice, "I thought it was still in the New Year, and it was not good to move." Ke Jiashan's marriage is scheduled for the tenth day of February, I am afraid that everyone will be busy at that time, I invite everyone to sit at home and have no leisure, so I set the date on the twenty-second day of January, and it is just right to vacate the house early, and the sister-in-law will arrange the guest room. ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded, and the two talked all the way about their parents.

When I arrived at Xinglin Hutong and got off the carriage, there were really neighbors who came forward to say hello.

"The old lady is back!"

"Old lady, is this here for the New Year? I heard that your eldest grandson's wedding is scheduled for February, so you are going to attend your eldest grandson's wedding before going to your youngest son's house, right? ”

"Does the old lady still know me? I'm from the Li family next door. ”

Some people also looked at Zhou Shaojin.

Qiu introduced Zhou Shaojin to those people: "It's my new brother-in-law who specially sent my mother over." ”

"She's so pretty!" Someone stepped forward to greet Qiu.

Mrs. Guo smiled and greeted everyone.

It can be seen that most of the people living around are ordinary people, but they have a strong sense of humanity, and they speak with kindness, and the relationship between the Cheng family and the neighbors is very good.

In his previous life, Zhou Shaojin had never been to Xinglin Hutong.

She also thought that it was like Chaoyangmen, living in either expensive or expensive, and surrounded by some women who did not go out of the door, even if they lived next door, they could not see each other twice a year.

After a few words, everyone dispersed.

Zhou Shaojin walked in behind Mrs. Guo, and looked up and saw Cheng Xu standing next to the Ruyi door.

It was as if he had been paying attention to her for a long time. He had been standing there straight when she looked up and saw him. He hurriedly lowered his head and walked over quickly. Salute Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo took Cheng Xu up distressedly and said, "This kid." Why did you lose weight again? I heard that you are studying with Master Wu these days? But pay attention to the body. The imperial examination is important, but without a good body, after three examinations, as well as the palace examination and the Shujishi examination, it will not be able to stand it! And he said, "Didn't you say you were going to school?" How did you come back! ”

Cheng Xu hurriedly smiled: "Grandmother, I'm fine." Mr. Wu usually told me the same thing, and asked me to walk to him every morning. I heard that my grandmother came over today, so I came back from Lord Wu early. Lord Wu also knew about this, and he agreed. ”

Mrs. Guo bowed her head.

Cheng Xu stepped forward to say hello to Cheng Wei and Cheng Chi, and when it was Zhou Shaojin's turn, he hesitated for a moment before shouting "Fourth Aunt" in a low voice.

Zhou Shaojin curtsied and stood behind Cheng Chi.

Mrs. Guo smiled and stretched out her hand to Cheng Xu and said, "Okay, don't stand here, it's so cold." Hurry back to the house and talk. ”

Everyone laughed and said yes.

Cheng Xu helped Mrs. Guo and entered the main room.

has her own steward to assist Mama Lu to put Mrs. Guo's cage.

Yuan's servant Mrs. Guo took off her cloak and helped Mrs. Guo sit down on the big kang near the window.

Everyone sat around Mrs. Guo.

The little maid came in for refreshments.

Yuan took the tea from the little maid's hand and brought it to Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo took two sips of tea. Only then did his face soften, and he said to Cheng Wei and Cheng Chi: "I know that you are all filial, but now you are all leading errands." If you have something to do, go and do your business. I have your sister-in-law here, and nothing will happen. ”

Cheng Wei smiled and said, "Big brother can't pick you up." If you say yes, let me take a day off, and I'll talk to you. ”

Cheng Chi also said: "I am an idler. and I will not delay this day or two. ”

Yuan Shi listened and hurriedly said: "How can there be a reason that the door is not entered." The fourth uncle stayed for dinner, right? I've got you covered in the kitchen. ”

"yes!" Qiu then smiled, "We just helped you get things in order, otherwise Shao Jin wouldn't be at ease!" ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded again and again.

Mrs. Guo didn't say anything anymore, and when the cage was cleaned up, the mother-in-law who was in charge came in to find Yuan's wine jug, and Qiu and Zhou Shaojin accompanied Mrs. Guo to the main room in the backyard to freshen up and change clothes. Mrs. Guo saw Zhou Shaojin standing beside Qiu like Qiu's daughter, and she couldn't bear to let Zhou Shaojin do this, so she found an excuse to let her go out to play: "Look at what is being done in the kitchen?" It's so cold, let them make us some lotus seed lily white fungus soup to come in and go cold. ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled and promised, and called a little maid from Xinglin Hutong to take him to the kitchen.

Who knew that when she went out, she saw Cheng Chi and Cheng Wei standing in the front yard and talking in the corridor leading to the backyard.

Cheng Chi turned his back to her, she couldn't see Cheng Chi's expression clearly, but Cheng Wei was facing her, his expression was stern and cold, his mouth was tightly pursed, and there was a bit of anger in his eyes, he didn't know what Cheng Chi said, he suddenly became excited, and said: "The gentleman has something to do and something not to do." I think you're right. Just do it, I've got your back! If the eldest brother blames you, I will tell the eldest brother! When Liegong did that, did he just want to leave a good reputation to the descendants of the Cheng family? ”

Zhou Shaojin sighed secretly, and felt faintly proud in his heart.

After quietly asking the maid, she went to the kitchen from the other side.

Back at Chaoyangmen, there were only two people's homes, Zhou Shaojin thought that Cheng Chi would be tired of himself, but Cheng Chi just kissed her on the cheek, and went into the study without coming out.

Zhou Shaojin stayed in front of the stove and stewed rock sugar lotus seed soup to Cheng Chi.

Cheng Chi raised his head in the case files full of desks, his expression resolute.

Zhou Shaojin put the small pastel bowl in his hand, walked behind him to help him pinch his shoulder, and said softly: "Shiro, do you want to impeach Qu Ge Lao?" ”

Speaking of which, the relationship between Qu Ge Lao and Cheng Chi should be not bad, especially when Cheng Chi was in Jinling, when Gao Yao, the old son-in-law of Qu Ge, took his wife to Jiuru Lane to pay homage to Cheng Xu, the ancestor of the second room, he was obviously close to Changfang.
