When he came to his senses, the more Li thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong with this matter.

She and Zhou Zhen also went to the office when they were in Nanchang, Jiangnan, and the wives and neighbors of those classics, everyone was quite different, some believed in Buddhism and some believed, and occasionally there were nuns or Taoist aunts who came to ask for sesame oil money, but no one dared to openly say that they were good at pediatric gynecology, Mrs. Huang said so, it was too bold, right?

Li remembered what Cheng Chi said, she thought about it again and again, and told Zhou Zhen about it.

Zhou Zhen's face changed slightly, seeing the Li family looking at him with blank eyes, thinking of the Li family's background and knowledge, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said, "Mrs. has done a good job in this matter." This heir is destined by heaven, if I only have three daughters, that is also the meaning of the Bodhisattva, do not toss around, if you lose your longevity and lose your family business, but you put the cart before the horse. ”

The implication is that even if the Li family has no children, they will not take a concubine because WWW.UUXS.CC of this, and ask for a concubine.

"Sir!" Li Shi suddenly became excited, with tears in his eyes, and was speechless for a long time.

Zhou Zhen said: "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, there are still a lot of things to do at home. If you can't be busy, you can ask Shaojin to help, she grew up in Jiuru Lane since she was a child, but she has never been the head of the house but has seen it with her elders. also took the opportunity to let her learn housekeeping and accounting, which will always be used in the future. ”

Originally, he was counting on Mrs. Guo to tell her second daughter about family affairs, but now that it is not, he has to make plans early.

But like the Miao family and the Qian family, they are just officials for one term, and their children are not in the climate, so it will be strange if they don't fall down in a few years! Even their Zhou family is not as good as them, how can they keep Shaojin.

This family can only go to Beijing to find it.

But he has been away from Beijing for many years and doesn't know a few people. Even if you know each other, you may not be able to talk about family affairs like Aunt Liao like the eldest daughter.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen felt a headache.

Seeing Zhou Zhen's solemn face, Li knew that he must be worried about the affairs of the back house, and he was ashamed in his heart, so he dared to say more, and left the back hall after leaving Zhou Zhen, but when he looked up, he saw Zhou Zhen's study.

She couldn't help but go into the study, looked for the small statue of Zhuang, and carefully held it for a long time.

After seeing Zhou Shaojin, she felt that the small statue was a little distorted.

It is said that Zhou Shaojin only beat his mother by seven or eight points, and Zhuang's is more beautiful than Zhou Shaojin.

Although the characters in this small portrait are beautiful, they are not as good as Zhou Shaojin's eighty percent.

But that gaze is like water, completely alive, presumably she often looks at Zhou Zhen like this, and it is this gaze that Zhou Zhen engraved the deepest when he painted her......

Lee's heart was sour.

I feel that this Zhuang family is really famous.

married a good husband like Zhou Zhen, but went early, leaving behind a lost daughter......

She wiped the small statue of Zhuang with a handkerchief and gently put it back.

I don't feel like I'm jealous anymore.

When I went back, I invited Zhou Shaojin to come over and take care of the housework together.

Although she has been a human being in two lives, Zhou Shaojin has never really taken care of these - when she first married Lin Shisheng, Mrs. Lin was there, and it was not her turn, and her heart was like ashes, and she didn't care about it; When she arrived at the Grange, Lin Shisheng on the outside and Zheng's mother on the inside, she still didn't care about anything. Now the mother-in-law is there to ask how much is a pound of Li's fish, how much has it risen compared to usual; How much is a pound of meat, and it is a few points more expensive than usual; She thought it was interesting how many catties of fish she needed to prepare at home, how many catties of fish, and how many catties of fish she needed to buy, and she listened to it with relish.

Although most of those servant women are Zhou's dowries, they are people with eyes. Seeing that Zhou Shaojin was interested, he spoke more and more carefully. Even explained to her what pepper was and where the salt was eaten at home, and she officially began to help by Li's side, preparing the spring banquet menu, and instructing the maid to prepare the New Year's things.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Zhou Zhen sealed the seal, and the family sat together for a New Year's dinner, and Zhou Zhen took his two daughters to play in the study.

It's about playing, Zhou Shaojin was a quiet person in his past and present life, and he can sit there and take an idle book and turn it for a day, but Zhou Youjin rarely has a father as a companion, his father is tall, and he can see far away when he is held, and he doesn't want others in Zhou Zhen's arms every day.

Zhou Zhen read the "Book of Filial Piety" to Zhou Youjin.

Zhou Youjin grabbed Zhou Zhen's blue and white porcelain pen and didn't let go.

Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Daddy, don't use this kind of pen, Uncle Chi said, well, this pen is too heavy, it's okay to put it in place, but it's too hard to write." ”

In fact, Cheng Chi said that he was a fool to use this money.

Zhou Zhen said with a smile: "It is said that the new style of Wende Pavilion in the past few years was given by others." ”

Cheng Chi said that Wende Pavilion was supported by eating, and he began to buy fame when he bought the pen and ink well.

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "Then you can keep it and give it away, why use it yourself?" ”

The father and daughter were talking and laughing, and a little girl came in to say that Chang Xiu asked to see him.

Zhou Zhen's face was slightly sad, but his voice was still calm, and he instructed the little guy: "Just say that I have a guest, please see him again in the new year." ”

The little guy retreated.

Zhou Zhen looked at Zhou Shaojin and saw that her eyebrows were peaceful, and she was talking to Zhou Youjin softly, so he was relieved.

You don't have to let your daughter know about this kind of dirty thing.

There are hundreds of women in the family, and he didn't want to offend others at will because of this, so that his daughter would have a bad reputation, which would not be conducive to getting married in the future; But now he feels that this Chang Xiucai is simply in the water in his head, and if he doesn't clean him up, he probably thinks that he is the only one in this world who is smart, and everyone else is the most stupid!

After the ancestor sacrifice in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhou Zhen began to get busy.

Preside over the sacrifice of spring ploughing, pay New Year's greetings to the elders of Baoding Mansion, participate in the spring banquet of those literati and, and entertain the banquet of subordinate squires, and wait until the thirteenth day of the first month, by Chang Xiucai to contribute money and efforts, Baoding Mansion held a lantern festival.

The nine-storey tower-high lanterns stand on the most prosperous street in Baoding Mansion, and half of the sky is illuminated.

Li hugged Zhou Youjin and asked Zhou Shaojin again: "Don't you really go to see the lanterns?" In previous years, the lanterns in Baoding Mansion were not so spectacular. Your father also said that we can't give up eating because of choking, and we can live just because of those villains......"

But Zhou Shaojin was unmoved, and smiled softly: "It's too cold outside, I really don't want to go out." ”

Li Shi thought for a while and said, "Then I'll accompany you at home too!" ”

Zhou Shaojin looked at Zhou Youjin who was looking at her with big clear eyes and smiled: "Sister, I'm afraid I've never seen such a spectacular lantern festival, right?" You can take your sister to see the lights, and I will wake up after doing needlework at home. Speaking of this, she remembered that Fan Liu and the others had followed her to Baoding Mansion and had not gone out much, and said, "Mother Fan and the Spring Festival Gala, you can also go, just leave Mama Shang with me." ”

The Spring Festival Gala was naturally reluctant to leave Zhou Shaojin at home alone.

Zhou Shaojin was so good at talking that he let Fan Liu and others follow Li out of the door.

She was doing needlework under the lamp.

From time to time, there were bursts of firecrackers outside, as well as loud cheers and noises, making it seem more and more quiet and lonely in the backyard of the official office.

Mama Shang held the lotus seeds, red dates, and blood glutinous porridge for Zhou Shaojin, looking at Zhou Shaojin who was sitting alone in the room, and her shadow was stretched by the light, she only felt cold, cold from her fingers to her heart.

She couldn't help but soften her voice and said, "Second Miss really doesn't go out to see the lanterns?" If you suspect a lot of people, I'll go with you. ”

"I really don't need to." Zhou Shaojin looked up at her and smiled, her smile was gentle and soft, "I don't like to walk around outside." ”

Her face is too troublesome.

Uncle Chi was not in Baoding, and she was faintly uneasy.

Mama Shang saw that she was sincere, and although she felt pity in her heart, she would not force her. It's just that she doesn't know how to do needlework, so she sits with Zhou Shaojin and gossips with her.

Time flies.

After a while, Zhou Shaojin sewed a sleeve.

Mama Shang saw that the tea was a little cold, so she got up and went to make her tea.

Zhou Shaojin quickly put on the thread and began to sew the other sleeve.

There was a slight sound of footsteps in the room, and they approached her.

At this time, only Mama Shang entered her room.

Zhou Shaojin didn't look up, and continued to chat with Mama Shang with a soft smile: "...... I don't know what happened to Uncle Chi? Last year, Jinling Mansion just put a few lanterns out as if it were the occasion, I don't know if there will be a lantern festival today? However, even if the lantern festival is held in Jinling Mansion, Uncle Chi will definitely not participate, well, the old lady will definitely not go. She sighed and looked up, and her voice stopped abruptly, her apricot eyes widened, like thunder.

Cheng Chi, who was wearing a stone blue cloth robe, laughed and said, "What? But if you don't see me during the Spring Festival, you won't know me! ”

"Uncle Chi!" Zhou Shaojin stood up and stumbled, "Why are you here?" ”

But in my heart, like a little bird, I plopped and jumped up.

Her face was full of heat, and she said incoherently, "When did you come?" Why don't you let the little guy come over and say it in advance? Have you had dinner? There is still rock sugar bird's nest stewed in the kitchen, and there should be water chestnut cake, why don't you use a little? Does Father know you're coming? I'm going to let my father ......."

Looking at Zhou Shaojin, who was panicked and overjoyed, Cheng Chi suddenly felt that his decision to go out before the New Year was quite good.

He looked at Zhou Shaojin's banquet room.

The little tiger in the flower cloth, the bright paper with the shape of the painting, the rosewood shelf with embroidered money, and her little things are everywhere.

Zhou Shaojin was so embarrassed that she hurriedly cleaned up the fallen papers, and whispered while cleaning up: "I just took it out and prepared it, so I put it here......"

Cheng Chi picked up one casually and said, "What is this?" It looks like an orchid, and it looks like caryophyllus......"

When Zhou Shaojin heard this, he couldn't care about packing up the paper, so he hurriedly came over and said, "Really? Really like orchids and caryophyllus? ”

Cheng Chi said: "I look a bit like ......"

Zhou Shaojin was angry and said in a low voice: "I, I painted wisteria ......"

Hey?!

Cheng Chi said: "Aren't the wisteria flowers bunched one by one?" ”

How could it be wisteria.

Zhou Shaojin explained in a whisper: "Clustering together is a string, and a single one is like this......"

"Really?" Cheng Chi took a closer look at the pattern again.

Mama Shang, who followed Cheng Chi in with tea, muttered in her heart.

Shouldn't we discuss how the fourth master got in at this time? Or why did the fourth master come, why did the two of them talk about wisteria and orchids together!
