Zhou Shaojin was in a happy mood after that, and the scriptures were copied smoothly, but in an hour, she finished copying all the scriptures that were scheduled to be copied, she was a little unsatisfied, and copied a few more pages of scriptures, seeing that it was not early, so she put down her pen and went to resign to Mrs. Guo.

The upper courtyard was silent and there was no sound, and the maids and women who served them all lowered their eyebrows and stood respectfully under the eaves.

Zhou Shaojin saw the breeze of the little Taotong, and followed the jasper and jade to stand next to the bamboo curtain in the hall.

It seems that Uncle Chi is in Mrs. Guo's house.

No wonder he suddenly appeared in the Buddha hall just now.

I must have passed by the Buddhist hall and saw myself copying scriptures inside, so I was very curious to go in and take a look.

Zhou Shaojin thought about it, hesitating whether to go back to Jiashutang first with the maid and wife in the upper room, or wait for Cheng Chi to leave after she went to say goodbye to Mrs. Guo, and saw Biyu smiling at her, turning around and pulling the curtain into the upper room.

She should have gone to talk to Mrs. Guo.

I don't know what Mrs. Guo will say?

Zhou Shaojin was inexplicably nervous.

I saw Jasper walking quickly.

"Second Miss!" She smiled and greeted Zhou Shaojin softly, "Mrs. Tai let you in." ”

Zhou Shaojin said "um", straightened his clothes, and followed Biyu into the upper room.

On the arhat bed with marble backrest in the banquet room, Mrs. Guo and Cheng Chi sit on one left and one right, and a chessboard of rosewood is placed on a black-carved coffee table in the center, and the chess pieces made of white jade and black jade are criss-crossed, and it has reached the end of the season.

Mrs. Guo holds the black son, and Cheng Chi holds the white child.

Zhou Shaojin almost said "huh".

The Venerable or the one with superb chess skills holds the white son, and vice versa.

Cheng Chi is the son of Mrs. Guo, is his chess skills very superb? But between mother and son, how can they care like this? Even if Cheng Chi is superb in chess, he can't let Mrs. Guo hold the sunspot!

Zhou Shaojin always felt a little awkward in her heart.

She looked a little dazed and stepped forward to salute the two of them.

Cheng Chi nodded at her with a smile.

Mrs. Guo asked her with a smile, "Have you finished copying today's scriptures?" Let's go back early, right? I'll leave you for dinner another day! ”

Whether it is kind words or sincerity, they have given Zhou Shaojin enough face.

Zhou Shaojin thanked him respectfully, and was accompanied by Biyu out of the banquet room, but he couldn't help but look back at the silent banquet room.

Through the thin Xiangfei curtain, Cheng Chi leaned lazily on the big pillow behind him as if he was in Sanzhixuan that day, and the chess pieces made of white jade between his white and slender fingers moved flexibly, revealing careless casualness. Old Madam Guo frowned and looked down at the chessboard, her face full of sternness.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but whisper to Biyu: "Is Uncle Chi's chess skills very good?" ”

Biyu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Very good-let the uncle have ten sons, let the eldest master have four sons, and let the lady have three sons." ”

That's amazing!

Zhou Shaojin has little talent in chess and arithmetic. Zhou Chujin spent a lot of effort teaching her to play chess, and her level always stayed at backgammon, and she couldn't even win Shi Xiang in backgammon.

She couldn't help but admire and asked Biyu: "Hearing you say that, Mrs. Tai is also very good at chess!" ”

"Of course." Biyu rarely showed a proud look of honor, "I heard Mama Shi say that the old lady was not Mrs. Tai's opponent at the beginning......" Before she could speak, there was a sudden loud "bang" sound from the side of the banquet room, followed by a crisp "pop" sound on the jade falling stone.

Jasper's face changed drastically.

There was already a faint sound of crying coming from the other side of the banquet room.

Biyu couldn't care about anything anymore, and hurriedly said, "I won't send the second miss," and ran into the banquet room in three steps and two steps.

Zhou Shaojin knew that she should avoid it at the moment, but she was really curious, thought about it and thought, and saw that no one came in to find out, she still couldn't control herself, and took a few steps forward.

Biyu was standing beside Mrs. Guo and was whispering to persuade Mrs. Guo, while Mrs. Guo was wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, Cheng Chi still looked indifferent, leaning obliquely on the big pillow, the chessboard fell to the ground, and the chess pieces were scattered all over the ground.

What's going on?

It was the first time Zhou Shaojin saw Mrs. Guo crying!

Even if she loses the chess, her son is in private, and Mrs. Guo can't lift the chessboard and cry because of this!

She was dumbfounded.

Then the top of his head was cold, and he saw Cheng Chi's gaze swept over lightly.

Someone caught ......

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly lowered his head and turned to leave.

Jade and Qingfeng's expressions were a little anxious, but the two of them still stood at the door of the hall and didn't ask Zhou Shaojin anything.

Zhou Shaojin returned to Jiashutang full of suspicion, and for a reason that she couldn't explain herself, she didn't say a word in front of her grandmother, eldest aunt, and sister what she saw in the upper room of the Hanbi Mountain House.

The next day, she heard the news.

The only grandson of the second old lady of the long house, the same year as Cheng Xu, Cheng Xun, who was only five days younger than him, died of illness.

In her previous life, she didn't feel anything when she heard the news, and even after being reborn, she didn't remember when Cheng Xun died. But now, or because she also had the pain of losing her child, when she heard that Cheng Xun had passed away, her tears couldn't stop falling.

The Cheng family has always had thin heirs, Cheng Xun died of illness, and the second old lady broke the incense, will he inherit one from the Cheng family? Who will be succeeded?

Old Madam Guo should have thought more than she did.

It's a pity that she didn't know the result, and she didn't even have a word to comfort Mrs. Guo.

It was the old lady Guan who saw Zhou Shaojin's eyes red, took her in her arms and sighed abruptly, and said to Mrs. Guan: "The most difficult thing in this world is that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person." The second old lady of the long room still followed Mrs. Guo to enlighten the Meng, and now that the second old lady has such a thing, Mrs. Guo still doesn't know how to be sad? I think you have to discuss with the eldest lord to see whether to send a steward to the capital for the funeral or let He'er or Yi'er go to the capital on behalf of Sifang? ”

Mrs. Chu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, answered in a low voice, and went to the outer courtyard.

Zhou Shaojin was a little confused.

She remembered that Cheng Xun died in her previous life, Cheng He and Cheng Yi still went to school to practice calligraphy, and they were no different from usual, why did they change in this life?

Zhou Shaojin asked Mrs. Guan: "Then should I go to Hanbi Mountain House to copy the scriptures today?" ”

"Go ahead!" Mrs. Guan sighed, "If this kind of thing happens, I'm afraid that Mrs. Guo's heart will be more sincere in copying the scriptures." ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded and went to the Hanbi Mountain House with Mrs. Guan.

Because they are grandchildren, there are elders on the side of Jiuru Lane, and it is not good to wear filial piety, and the maids and women serving in the Hanbi Mountain House just changed their red shirts and green clothes in addition to gold and silver jewelry.

For a while, the Hanbi Mountain House was a little chilly everywhere.

Mrs. Guo was a little tired between her eyebrows, thanked Mrs. Guan for her comfort, and said: "Seeing that the weather is getting hotter day by day, and the children are only sixteen or seventeen years old, don't toss them, be careful of the branches, I have your wishes, and send a steward over to burn incense." The child is not yet an adult, so don't bother him with reincarnation. ”

The words were so close that the old lady and Zhou Shaojin were in tears.

Zhou Shaojin took the initiative to say: "I don't know when the stewards will leave?" I want to copy a few chapters of "The Curse of the Past Life" and burn it to my cousin. ”

"Good boy, you have a heart." Mrs. Guo said, her eyes moistened a little, "Manager Qin has already set off, and the second, third, and fifth rooms have also said that they will send people to Beijing to worship, and I will let them leave tomorrow, the time is too tight, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up." But I'll go to Ganquan Temple tomorrow to do things for Brother Xun'er, will you go with me? Give him incense in front of the Bodhisattva, and he will do his best. ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded again and again, but still copied three chapters of "The Curse of Death" overnight and asked the chief manager of the fourth room to take it to the capital.

When Mrs. Guo found out, she touched her head, asked Biyu to serve Zhou Shaojin to make up for sleep in the carriage, and said, "When I go to the temple, I will do a dojo, but don't drag my body down." ”

Zhou Shaojin hadn't stayed up all night like this for a long time, and he was a little afraid that he wouldn't be able to support himself when he went to the temple, so he was polite and fell asleep in the carriage.

When she arrived at Ganquan Temple and got off the carriage, she found that Cheng Chi had also accompanied Mrs. Guo to Ganquan Temple.

However, I didn't see Cheng Xu.

Zhou Shaojin breathed a sigh of relief.

But Cheng Chi still looked lazy, as if he didn't have much sadness about Cheng Xun's death. However, perhaps men and women are different, women like to float on their faces for everything, but men hide it in their hearts. For example, Uncle Chu was also very sad when he heard the news of Cheng Xun's death, but in a blink of an eye, he returned to normal, and told the housekeeper in a deep voice to prepare to go to the capital to pay homage to Cheng Xun.

Today, with Mrs. Guo, in addition to Zhou Shaojin, there are also Cheng Chi, Yuan, and Cheng Xu; Mrs. Yi and Cheng Zhi in the second room; Jiang's, Cheng Xian, Cheng Zheng, Cheng Ji, Pan Hao, and Pan Qing in the third room; Mrs. Chuda, Cheng Huan, Cheng Yi, and Zhou Chujin in the fourth room; Mrs. Wenda, Cheng Nuo, Mrs. Yuda, Cheng Ju, Dong's and Cheng Lu in the fifth room.

Cheng Xu and several brothers were in the front hall, and Mrs. Guo and Zhou Shaojin and other female dependents were in the side hall of the backyard.

Zhou Shaojin knelt on the futon, reciting the scriptures reverently and seriously.

Just like many nights in her previous life, she knelt in the small Buddha hall of Daxing Grange, chanting scriptures for her unfortunate child.

When Cheng Chi walked in, he saw Cheng Ji, who was kneeling in front of the incense case, Pan Qing, who was kneeling on his calf, and Zhou Shaojin, who was as straight as a birch tree in the barren field.

She slowly flicked the dark red rosewood Buddha beads in her hand, her fair skin was like a glowing jade in the dark hall, and her curly and slender eyelashes left a faint shadow under the gently disturbed eyes, like a lotus flower in front of the Bodhisattva's seat, and the treasure was solemn.

He was a little stunned.

It's just a twelve-year-old girl, how can she be so quiet and calm?

Cheng Chi looked up.

I saw the compassionate face of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Or, someone is born with Buddha nature?

Cheng Chi turned around and said to Biyu, who was serving outside the hall: "You went to give a lady, saying that lunch time is coming, don't let the old lady be too tired." ”

Biyu respectfully responded and entered the hall to spread the word.

Cheng Chi walked quickly out of the backyard.
