Chapter Twenty-Nine: Pan's
Cheng Jitian is not afraid, if you have to pick bones in the egg and find someone who makes her jealous, it must be Pan Qing!
Pan Qing and Cheng Ji were in the same year, one month younger than Cheng Ji. In the fourteenth year of Zhide, that is, when Pan Qing was ten years old, he returned to Jinling Province with his mother Cheng Xian, compared to Pan Qingwen, who was quiet and well-behaved, the lively and noisy Cheng Ji was like a monkey covered in mud, no matter how much he looked at it, as for how much praise Pan Qing received from the Cheng family, Cheng Ji as a reference was reprimanded by the Cheng family.
Cheng Ji remembered Pan Qing from above, so much so that she was still haunted in the next few years, chattering a few words about Pan Qing in front of Zhou Shaojin from time to time.
And this time Cheng Ji and Pan Qing met to make the relationship between the two like fire and water - the demure and generous Pan Qing made Cheng Ji's mother Jiang have to nag Cheng Ji a few words every day, "You look at other people's Qing'er, why are you so obedient and sensible, you are still a sister, you can't learn a little", Cheng Ji did not give Pan Qing a stumbling block for this, Pan Qing looked gentle and gentle, but he gave birth to a pair of seven tricks and exquisite heart, Cheng Ji not only failed to make Pan Qing ugly, but made himself disgraced, and was almost grounded by Jiang.
Zhou Shaojin also helped in the process in his previous life.
Pan Qing is also quite open-minded, feeling that she is still young and does not take it to heart, how to treat her or how to treat her, but it makes her feel a little guilty.
She persuaded Cheng Ji several times because of this, but Cheng Ji not only didn't listen, but also felt that she was betraying, and ignored her for a long time, until He Xian left the Cheng family with a pair of children and returned to Pan Zhi's office, and the two reconciled as before.
Today is April 11, counting the day, Pan Qing and they should have arrived.
Cheng Ji is afraid that it will be difficult to have a quiet time in the future!
However, she will definitely not stand on Cheng Ji's side without principles and reasons in her previous life.
And Cheng Ji saw that Zhou Shaojin had no opinion at all, and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, and said, "How do you know about my aunt's return to her hometown?" ”
Pan Zhi's promotion was quite sudden, Cheng Xian temporarily decided to go back to his parents' house to pay homage to the ancestor of the second room, and the third room of the Cheng family only got the letter last night. Because Pan Qing has become more and more famous among relatives in recent years, Cheng Ji has reached the age of saying that he is married, Jiang is afraid that his daughter will be like that year, so he made a foil for Pan Qing in a daze, and called Cheng Ji to tell him overnight, and Cheng Ji knew that Pan Qing was going back to Jinling to live.
Zhou Shaojin couldn't tell Cheng Ji that he was a human being in two lives, so he had to say vaguely: "I seem to have heard someone say it, but I don't have any impression...... The birthday of the ancestor of the second room is tomorrow, if they can't come back today, they will miss the birthday of the ancestor, I think they will come back nine times out of ten today. ”
Cheng Ji accepted her statement without the slightest suspicion.
She said a little uneasily: "I don't know how Pan Qing is now?" I heard my mother say that she is not only good at female celebrity cooking, but also writes well......"
Zhou Shaojin looked at Cheng Ji like this, and suddenly the image of her quietly squatting under the rose wall and crying in a low voice suddenly appeared in her mind......
"She just came to Jiuru Lane to save her relatives, and she didn't live and not leave. What do you have to worry about? The words of comfort blurted out from Zhou Shaojin's mouth, "Besides, we are not tailors or cooks, why are we female celebrities and cooking so good?" ”
Cheng Ji sounded like a watered flower, and the whole person was in good spirits.
"yes!" She high-fived, "Why didn't I think of that?" We are not tailors or cooks, so what is so easy to learn? She ran to Zhou Shaojin and sat down, grabbed Zhou Shaojin's shoulder, and looked Zhou Shaojin up and down with a smile, "I found that you have become smart these days, tell me quickly, is there any secret?" ”
Zhou Shaojin secretly regretted it in his heart.
It's not that I don't know Cheng Ji's temperament, why do you still take trouble to take care of her business?
"I'm going to practice calligraphy!" She broke free of Cheng Ji and moved the Taishi chair to the side, "I have decided to practice three pages of paper every morning, don't delay me." ”
Cheng Ji grinned and touched her head: "I said you were a little stupid before, are you angry?" ”
Zhou Shaojin didn't bother to pay attention to her.
Zhou Shaojin didn't pay much attention to her these days, and Cheng Ji finally found this opportunity, so he naturally pestered Zhou Shaojin and didn't let go.
Just when Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but brush his sleeves and leave, Aunt Shen's coughing sound came from the door.
Cheng Ji was busy sitting in his seat, and Zhou Shaojin got rid of Cheng Ji and practiced his words quietly.
When class ended, she walked out of Jing'an Zhai in three steps and two steps, ignoring Cheng Ji's shouting behind her.
Like in his previous life, when Zhou Shaojin returned to Jiatang, Cheng Xian took Tuyi to lead his son Pan Hao and daughter Pan Qing to greet Mrs. Guan.
Mrs. Chuda, Zhou Chujin, Cheng He, and Cheng Yi are all there.
Since this time, Zhou Shaojin has never seen Cheng Xian and Pan's brothers and sisters again, and her memory of the mother and son is still stuck at this time.
Although she said goodbye in the next life, she didn't have any sense of secrecy.
Zhou Shaojin stepped forward to salute everyone.
Cheng Xian is tall, wearing a big red woven yellow peony royal blue vase, wearing a gold-inlaid mutton fat jade Guanyin distraction, goose egg face, big eyes, high nose bridge, although the wind and frost of the years have left a faint fine lines on the corners of her eyes, and her fair and delicate skin is a little less firm, but the wind and frost of the years have also made her more elegant and calm, confident and mature.
Pan Qing on the side was wearing a Hangzhou silk quilt with green folded branches and dark patterns, combing a double screw bun, wearing a flawless mutton fat jade bracelet, medium stature, long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and elegant temperament. Pan Hao is tall, wearing a green lotus-colored flower dark pattern Hangzhou silk straight jacket, sideburns like a cut, beautiful eyebrows, and a sparse expression. The brother and sister are very similar in appearance and temperament. In contrast, Cheng Ji is more like Cheng Xian.
Cheng Xian got up with Zhou Shaojin by himself, and said to Mrs. Guan with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Shaojin is getting brighter and brighter." If I had seen this in another place, I wouldn't have recognized it. ”
Mrs. Guan has always cherished these two granddaughters, and when she heard the words, she couldn't hide her pleasing face, but she had to force a humble appearance and smiled: "Thanks to your praise, these two children can be regarded as obedient and sensible, and people love them." ”
"This is also a blessing for your old man." Cheng Xian smiled and complimented, and said about his parents, "...... I heard that the child's uncle Yuan was promoted to the Pingyin County Order, congratulations. ”
Cheng Yuan, the second master of the fourth room, and Zhou Shaojin's father, Zhou Zhen, are in the same department, but Zhou Zhen is a second-class jinshi, and Cheng Yuan is a third-class jinshi.
At that time, Cheng Xu, the ancestor of the second room, had already given his respects, and the fourth room took the path of Cheng Jing, the eldest man of the long house, seeking the position of the commander of Pucheng County, Fujian Province for Zhou Zhen's father, and seeking Yixing County, Jiangxi Province for Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan was able to be promoted to the county order as a fellow jinshi, just like a concubine Fuzheng, he took the most difficult step in his career, and with Cheng Jing's support, the road ahead will be smooth.
"Rejoice, rejoice." Mrs. Guan said with a smile, "Your lord has now released the envoy and returned to the capital, a six-department official can't run, but my uncle has a bright future!" ”
From the fourth grade to the third grade, that is also a hurdle. And Pan Zhidu has been a four-grade prefect for almost ten years.
The elders of his own family, and the one with the tightest mouth. Cheng Xian didn't hide his joy, and said with a smile: "At a critical time, praise the child and his eldest uncle helped our master say a word, otherwise how could there be such a smooth ......"
The child's uncle, it should refer to Cheng Jing, right?
Zhou Shaojin thought about it, and did not look at Pan Qing and Pan Hao as curiously as in his previous life, but looked at his nose and nose, and stood behind his sister with low eyebrows, listening to Mrs. Guan and Cheng Xian's greetings with one ear without an ear.
The trees want to be quiet, but the wind does not stop.
Who knew that there was a gaze that stayed on her body and quickly moved away.
Zhou Shaojin didn't care.
But only a moment, that gaze fell on her again, and moved away...... Then, falling on top of her again, she moved away......
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but look over.
But I saw Pan Hao's clear eyes.
Zhou Shaojin was very surprised.
In her previous life, she had also been in contact with Pan Hao a few times, but she met them either because of her elders or because of Pan Qing. But whether there are elders or unintentionally bumped into him, Pan Hao is polite and polite, and he never glances at the corner of his eye.
Why did you spy on her in this life?
Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened.
Pan Hao quickly turned his face sideways, but his white skin was swollen and red.
Pan Qing glanced at Zhou Shaojin quickly.
Cheng He, who was standing beside Mrs. Guan, was tall, wearing a royal blue moire flower straight jacket, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a solemn expression, looking a little cold.
He glanced at Pan Hao thoughtfully, and suddenly took a few steps forward to block Zhou Shaojin behind him.
The old lady Guan and Cheng Xian, who were talking, couldn't help but stop the topic and looked at Cheng He in unison.
Cheng Huan looked calm, and smiled unhurriedly: "Grandmother, it's not too early, do you want to have lunch first and then have a good relationship with your aunt?" So as not to starve my aunt and cousin Mao and cousin Qing! ”
"Look at me, just talking, but forget about it." Old Lady Guan smiled apologetically and took Cheng Xian's hand, "Stay here with me for dinner later." I haven't seen Brother Mao and Sister Qing for many years, and I don't know if there will be any days when I will see each other again. ”
"Look at what you said." Cheng Xian hurriedly said, "You are in such good health, I am also going to bring my grandson back to see you in the future and ask you for a few red envelopes!" You can't say such frustrating things. ”
"Good, good, good!" Mrs. Guan smiled and said, "I must have prepared a big red envelope early, waiting for Brother Hao to bring his daughter-in-law and son to come to see me." ”
Pan Hao looked a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and everyone didn't have time to think about it, Cheng Xian had already said: "I'm afraid I can't stay with you for lunch today-first, we haven't gone to visit the fifth room, and when I came, I promised my mother to go back to the third room for lunch." As he spoke, he pouted softly towards the southwest side of the five-room residence, and said in a low voice, "You also know that the one who likes to fight for these things the most, if I stay here to eat, she still doesn't know how to arrange us?" ”
Old Lady Guan sighed and said, "Then I won't keep you - you come over at night, and I'll pick you up and wash the dust." ”
"Let's wait for the ancestor's birthday banquet!" Cheng Xian smiled, his tone sincere, "When the time comes, if you don't invite me, you will come to ask for a glass of wine." ”
Tomorrow is Cheng Xu's birthday, and it is indeed difficult to arrange.
Old Mrs. Guan nodded with a smile, and personally sent Cheng Xian's mother and son out of Jiashutang.
