Cheng Chi naturally didn't care about the old and the young on this boat, he sat next to Old Man Guo with a smile. Because it is a round table, it has a bit of a three-legged taste.

Zhou Shaojin is not a picky eater, and naturally eats with relish.

I was preparing for the first half of the month, I got up early in the morning, although I rested for a while at noon, but after all, she was old, Mrs. Guo still felt very tired, and she didn't have much appetite, so it can be seen that Zhou Shaojin has such a good appetite, she couldn't help but eat most of the bowl of rice.

Cheng Chi looked at it and nodded secretly.

I think it's right to take Zhou Shaojin to Putuo Mountain. Otherwise, with his temperament and his mother's temperament, I am afraid that he will be speechless all the way to Putuo, or his mother will talk to herself and secretly sad to Putuo.

In the evening, they stayed at the ferry port in Yizhen County.

The county commander of Yizhen County, Chen Zhaokun, came to pay homage to Fang Chengchi.

Zhou Shaojin hid in the cabin, waited for Zhao Kun to greet Mrs. Guo through the curtain, and invited Cheng Chi to go ashore to drink, and then Zhou Shaojin went to the cabin to accompany Mrs. Guo.

This time, Mrs. Guo did not pull her to play cards, but after reading her copy of the "Lengyan Sutra", she began to comment on her shortcomings in handwriting.

Zhou Shaojin listened carefully, and re-wrote it to Mrs. Guo word by word according to what Mrs. Guo said.

Seeing that she was very serious, Mrs. Guo was mobilized and instructed very carefully.

One taught, the other wrote, and the time passed quickly, and when Cheng Chi came back, it was already past the hour.

Zhou Shaojin was taken aback and hurriedly asked Mrs. Guo to rest.

Perhaps because she did what she liked, Mrs. Guo was in good spirits, not only did she not feel sleepy, but asked Cheng Chilai: "How could this Zhao Kun think of coming to visit you?" But what's the matter? ”

Cheng Chi doesn't have an official title, and he just comes out to play, and if he has a little relationship with the Cheng family, at most he will send a staff member to send a gift, and if he has no relationship with the Cheng family, he can completely ignore it. Yizhen is a land and water fortress, I don't know how many official accommodations pass by every year, and they are all sent to it like this, and Yizhen County Order will be poor to death if it is not tired to death. This time, Zhao Kun not only came to visit Cheng Chi in person, but also invited Cheng Chi to eat and drink, he must have asked for something.

"It's the same year as the second brother." Cheng Chi had already changed his clothes, freshened up, his hair was wet on the top of his head, and said lightly, "I heard that you were passing by, and I came here to say hello to you." ”

"You'll be less of a fool of me." Old Madam Guo smiled, "Is it for your two brothers?" ”

Cheng Chi said with a smile: "It is said that there is news from the pedestrian department, Zhang Junhua, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wenhua Palace, is in poor health, and has been sent to the emperor, and in September, the eldest brother may go to the sixth department."

Now Cheng Jing is already the imperial envoy of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, one of the Xiaojiu chats, if he goes to the sixth department, it can only be to take over the post of Shangshu.

The scholars of this dynasty have always been concurrently served by cabinet scholars.

In other words, Cheng Jing will enter the cabinet.

Zhou Shaojin was a little uneasy in her heart.

In his previous life, Cheng Jing entered the cabinet after the new emperor ascended the throne.

If things don't change, this time, Cheng Jing may have to continue to stay in the position of the imperial envoy of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

She had no choice but to speak.

The happy old lady Guo didn't pay attention, but the careful Cheng Chi found out.

When he came out of the cabin, Cheng Chi specially stopped Zhou Shaojin and asked her, "Did you hear any rumors?" ”

Zhou Shaojin didn't know whether to say it or not.

Since there is such a rumor, it shows that Cheng Jing is of course one of the people who are concerned by the cabinet. If the Cheng brothers had planned early, maybe Cheng Jing would have been able to enter the cabinet in advance. Officialdom has always paid attention to seniority, and if Cheng Jing can enter the cabinet one day earlier, the power of the Cheng family will increase one day earlier. She didn't say it, Cheng Chi had already discovered her abnormality, and she had to find an excuse to prevaricate in the past. She said, how to say this to make Cheng Chi not suspicious. And the biggest problem is that she is very suing sù Cheng Chi.

She hopes that Cheng Jing can enter the cabinet, and the closer the Cheng family is to the inner circle, the more information that others can't get, and the greater the chance of getting rid of the fate of the previous life.

Cheng Chi didn't think so.

Speaking seriously, he and Zhou Shaojin have a deep relationship, even if Zhou Shaojin hears something or knows something, it is natural to hesitate whether to sue him. It's just that he has always been meticulous about things, and he inadvertently captured Zhou Shaojin's subtle expressions, so that Zhou Shaojin was in a dilemma.

He thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to worry, I won't ask you about the source of the news, and I won't investigate how you know, you just need to tell me the result of the matter." ”

Zhou Shaojin was heartbroken.

If she can get along with Uncle Chi as well as she does now, when she wants to tell the news that the Cheng family will be beheaded all over the house, will Uncle Chi be like now, not asking the reason but only the result?

Either way, she's going to give it a try.

In this way, she doesn't have to make up one lie after another to cover up what happened to her.

Despite this, Zhou Shaojin was still a little uneasy.

She slurred, "I...... Just heard...... It could be Huang Li! ”

In her previous life, she didn't care about that.

In her opinion, Cheng Jing's career is smooth sailing.

Later, she faintly heard that Huang Li and Cheng Jing had old grudges, and she wanted to investigate them until they were both Xiao Jiuqing. But when Huang Li's mentor was in charge, he personally came forward to ask the cabinet chief assistant at that time to let his disciples enter the cabinet, and later Cheng Jing also entered the cabinet, but the ranking was after Huang Li. Even when she went out with Azhu during the Midyear Festival last year, Azhu didn't think about what happened between Cheng Jing and Huang Li...... Until just now, when Cheng Chi mentioned that Cheng Jing might enter the cabinet, she figured out that the Huang Li she heard about in her previous life was the scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and the scholar of the East Pavilion was the cabinet assistant minister who suffered a loss at the hands of Cheng Jing and then disagreed with Cheng Jing.

Cheng Chi believed Zhou Shaojin's words.

She is just a thirteen-year-old girl, born in Jinling, grew up in the cabinet, no matter how smart she is, she can't make it up without knowing the situation of the court. What's more, her words are very reasonable.

How Cheng Jing sat in the position of the imperial envoy of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, no one knows better than him!

Now Cheng Jing and Huang Li are just one of Xiao Jiuqing, and there are several big guys on it, no matter what Huang Li thinks of Cheng Jing, in order to show his generosity and lofty vision, it is impossible for him to let people see his true attitude towards Cheng Jing at this time. And last time Huang Li suffered a big loss in the hands of Cheng Jing, his mentor Shen Minzhi had already become a teacher, and when he was a teacher, he recommended Yuan Weichang to take over as his first assistant. If Shen Minzhi runs for Huang Li and answers, Yuan Weichang cannot stand on Cheng Jing's side. And Huang Li has always hugged Shen Minzhi's thigh, Shen Minzhi has been very aggrieved by Huang Li before, this time he has to give Huang Li a ride no matter what, otherwise Shen Minzhi's colleague protégé will not be chilled when he sees it?

The most important thing is that Shen Minzhi retired, his grandson had just been inscribed on the gold list the year before last and was inscribed in the Shujishi Pavilion to watch politics in the Criminal Department, he didn't use his spare heat to leave some residual shade for others at this time, why should others take care of his grandson?

It seems that Yuan Weichang has made up his mind to repay Shen Minzhi's kindness!

Cheng Chi thought about it, bowed slightly towards Zhou Shaojin, and said, "Thank you for telling me about this." Even if I owe you a favor this time! You can ask me to do something for you in the future. He said, pausing, and re-emphasizing, "Anything is fine!" But if you want to be the empress like the Empress of Heaven, I'm afraid I can't do anything! What you want me to do has to be what I can do. ”

Zhou Shaojin laughed, and his heart beat even more chaotically.

She couldn't ask Cheng Chi at this time to ask him to help her bring a message to Cheng Jing, saying that the Cheng family would be raided and wiped out after twelve years!

Fortunately, when these words came to her mouth, she still controlled herself and didn't talk nonsense.

"No, no." Zhou Shaojin waved his hand again and again, and said, "You have saved me several times before, but I haven't answered you properly." This time, I will repay you for your kindness. ”

Cheng Chi didn't think much about it when he said this, and Zhou Shaojin didn't know the weight and significance of "any thing" he promised.

If he hadn't had the heart to go, he would definitely not be so vague, but he had already decided to leave, and he wouldn't pay attention to the Cheng family's affairs anymore, and this promise would only be valid for Zhou Shaojin for two years at most...... He might as well watch the scene and help her a few times, so that it would be more cost-effective for Zhou Shaojin.

He made up his mind, smiled, and broke up with Zhou Shaojin on the side of the boat.

Zhou Shaojin was very excited, until she changed into her clothes and went to bed after washing, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was still as bright as the summer sun.

She finally helped Uncle Chi once.

Uncle Chi definitely won't think she's useless.

As long as she can go on like this, her relationship with Uncle Chi will definitely be greatly improved.

Cheng Chi was writing to Cheng Jing at this time.

Nothing is settled until the coffin is closed. He didn't say anything, just reminded his eldest brother in the letter to pay attention to the relationship between Shin Minzhi and Yuan Weichang, and reminded him to pay attention to the gap with Huang Li.

He believed that the eldest brother should be able to understand what he meant.

Although he has decided to leave the Cheng family, as long as he does not leave, he is still a disciple of the Cheng family.

Cheng Chi put down his pen, stood up and pushed open the window.

The moon hung bent on the stars, a few stars twinkled beside it, and the silence around was only the red lanterns hanging from the masts of the ship reflected in the red on the lake, adding a little warmth to the cold night.

Cheng Chi shouted to Huaishan and said, "Hurry up and give this letter to the eldest master." ”

Huaishan responded and left.

Cheng Chi stood alone by the window for a long time before closing the window.

The rippling painting boat is like a cradle.

Zhou Shaojin quickly fell asleep, and he dreamed all night until dawn.

The sound of the boatman's horn, the frolicking of the people on the boat splashing water and cooking, the sound of the huo walking on the board...... Woke her up.

After a moment of trance, Zhou Shaojin remembered that he was on the painting boat in Zhenjiang.

She shouted the Spring Festival Gala and got out of bed.

The Spring Festival Gala and two rough mothers-in-law walked in with water.

"Second Miss, you're awake." While instructing her mother-in-law to put the water next to the mirror platform, she helped Zhou Shaojin hang up the tent and said, "Qingfeng said, we can go to Zhenjiang tomorrow afternoon." Then I changed to a sand boat and went to Hangzhou. ”

Zhou Shaojin said: "Have you seen Jiying?" ”

She hadn't seen Jihotaru since she got on the boat.
