The daughter is someone else's family when she leaves the cabinet, but the son has to support the court and be the master of the house, so he will naturally have an irreconcilable conflict of interest with his stepmother.

Therefore, Li's mother also felt that her young lady should endure it and wait until the two young ladies came out of the pavilion.

She was also mentally prepared before she came, no matter what kind of temperament the two young ladies of the Zhou family were, even if the spittle stars were spit on her face, she also had to smile, endure, and respect the two young ladies without complaint.

I never thought that the two young ladies were all beautiful girls, and they were all generous and polite in their words and actions. No wonder the old man is willing to marry the young lady in - with the bearing of the two young ladies, they are more cultivated than the usual young ladies who lift people and enter the scholar's family. This made her feel a little emotional.

And Li listened to Li's mother's words and hurriedly said: "That's nature." I just don't know what the two ladies like to eat? You will ask the Ma Fushan family later, she has been dealing with the two young ladies all the year round, and the Zhou family is most familiar with the two young ladies, I am afraid she is the one who is most familiar. As she spoke, she thought for a while and said, "When you go over, bring two more golden hairpins over, and it is not strange for many people to come over." ”

The Li family is very satisfied with this family business. Just for the marriage, there are 20,000 taels of silver, not to mention that Li's father also subsidizes Li's private money of 3,000 taels of silver every year - Li has never lacked silver in his hands, and this time when she came back, she minted 500 taels of silver only for rewarding people.

Li's mother understood and went to Ma Fushan's house.

So after Zhou Chujin and Zhou Shaojin settled down and washed up, the kitchen sent rock sugar pears over.

"I said it in the kitchen," said the Spring Festival Gala who came in with rock sugar and pears, "It's too late today, I'm afraid that the two young ladies will not be restrained when I do the rest, and I will change the lotus seed lily and red bean soup tomorrow night." ”

Zhou Chujin nodded.

Zhou Shaojin picked up the bowl and took a few sips.

She's feeling a little dry in the past few days.

The rock sugar pear is sweet and the temperature is moderate.

"Delicious!" Zhou Shaojin praised, seeing that her sister was sitting and didn't move, she said, "Sister drink it quickly, when it gets cold, it won't taste as good as it is now."

Zhou Chujin pointed at Zhou Shaojin's forehead with a finger, and said angrily: "What a stupid girl, she has a smart face in white." ”

Hey!

Zhou Shaojin hasn't heard her sister say this about her for more than ten years.

In her previous life, if she did something wrong, her sister would always say this about her.

What did she do wrong this time?

Zhou Shaojin recalled today's events carefully, except that when she went to the second room, she looked around in the second room like a countryman entering the city, she didn't seem to have done anything wrong!

Zhou Chujin saw that she still looked unclear, sighed and shook her head, and saw that there was no one else in the room except for the incense holder who made their beds, so he said in a low voice: "Think about it, we just came back, and the kitchen knows what we use on weekdays, if the wife didn't come back with her father, the head of the Ma Fushan family, this is not uncommon, but now that the wife has come back, the Ma Fushan family can't be the master, but the kitchen reacts so quickly...... This new wife in our family is afraid that it is not simple. ”

Zhou Shaojin put the bowl down and said with a smile: "Sister, relax, as long as my father is facing us, my wife will not be in trouble." Even if it's a life, with the two of us, are you afraid that she won't succeed? Maybe my wife just wants to get along with us? Home and everything is prosperous, who wants to jump over the wall at home. She is good to us, and we just accept her affection. Later, my sister went to Zhenjiang, and I stayed at home for two or three years at most, presumably my wife is an understanding person. ”

Zhou Chujin was stunned when he heard this, then laughed and said, "I don't know if you are really stupid or fake." You're right, we'll only get along with her for a few days anyway, and we'll just be able to get by. lest the father be grieved. ”

"Exactly, exactly." Zhou Shaojin smiled and urged Zhou Chujin to drink rock sugar pears, "This rock candy is very good, maybe my wife brought it from Nanchang!" ”

Zhou Chujin took a sip, sweet but not greasy, it is indeed a good ingredient.

She instructed the incense: "I remember that my grandmother asked my uncle to bring us two boxes of Suzhou-style dim sum back, and you went to give them to your wife." Say we, sisters, thank her. ”

Mochika smiled and went.

Zhou Shaojin rinsed her sister and rested.

Before dawn the next day, he was woken up by Ma Fushan's family: "If you want to go to worship your ancestors, don't be too late for the two young ladies." ”

Zhou Shaojin and Zhou Chujin got up and dressed.

Zhou Zhen's grandfather bought a cemetery at the foot of Qinglong Mountain in the east of Jinling City, and moved the graves of his great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents, which can be regarded as the ancestral grave of the Zhou family.

They had to take a sedan chair to Baixia Bridge first, and then take a boat from Yanque Lake to Qinglong Mountain.

After breakfast, it was already dawn, Zhou Shaojin and her sister went to the study to greet their father and Li.

Zhou Zhen was already ready, chatting with Ma Fushan in the flower garden in front of the study, waiting for their sisters. When he saw his sisters, he immediately laughed and said, "You are wearing so much, you will be careful of the heat later." ”

It's cool in the morning and evening, and it's hot at noon.

One of the Zhou Shaojin sisters wore a green lotus-colored four-persimmon pattern gown, and the other wore a moon-white honeysuckle grape pattern.

Zhou Chujin said with a smile: "My sister is weak and can't stand the cold. We also brought a bicarat with us, which we changed into when it was hot in the middle of the day. ”

Zhou Zhen nodded and said, "Come, I have something for you two sisters." ”

Zhou Shaojin and her sister followed Zhou Zhen to the study.

Zhou Zhen took out two small boxes, carved with pineapple wood, which was very exquisite.

Zhou Shaojin thought of the meeting gift that Li gave her and her sister yesterday - a set of ruby jewelry and a set of sapphire jewelry, and couldn't help but say: "What is this?" ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Zhou Zhen's eyes, and he said, "Guess what! ”

Like a naughty big child.

Zhou Shaojin suddenly felt that his father was very amiable, and he shortened the distance in an instant.

She gently flipped the box, thought for a moment, and muttered, "Could it be a seal?" ”

In her previous life, she didn't know who she had heard say that her father seemed to like collecting seals a little bit and was good at seal carving.

Zhou Zhen saw her tilting her head, her big black and white eyes flickering, exactly the same as when Zhuang thought about things, he was already very happy, and he heard her guess correctly, thinking that Zhuang liked gold and stone antiques during his lifetime, he was even more happy, and hugged Zhou Shaojin and said, "You ghost is clever, you can't help anything." It is indeed a square seal, which I carved for you and your sister, one side is printed with Duanyi, and the other side is printed with Xiyan. For you to use later. ”

Zhou Shaojin has never been picked up like this in her two lives, her body is stiff, her face is red, and she doesn't dare to move.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhen soon felt that something was wrong.

Shaojin is already twelve years old, not two.

He put Zhou Shaojin down.

Zhou Chujin looked at it and grinned, and went to open the box happily.

Bloodstone seal, bright color like splashed up, carved auspicious cloud seal button, with Qin Li engraved with the word "Duanyi", the handwriting is muddy and graceful and smooth, whether it is a seal or a seal carving are extraordinary, very rare.

Zhou Chujin liked it very much, thanked Zhou Zhen repeatedly, and looked at it again and again in his hand.

Zhou Shaojin's one is the same as Zhou Chujin's, but it is carved with the word "Xiyan".

She doesn't like bloodstone very much, and thinks that the color is red like blood, which is a bit terrifying, but the seal is only three points square, but it is two inches long, which reminds her of the private seal that Liao Zhangying hung on her body, and feels that if she also comes out of the notebook like Liao Zhangying one day, it is also very good to use this private seal to stamp it on the copybook, and she also happily thanked her father.

Ma Fushan's family walked in and said, "Mrs. has already had breakfast." ”

Zhou Zhen said: "Then let's go!" ”

Ma Fushan's family went to pass the word, and Zhou Zhen led his two daughters out of the study.

Li was supported by Li's mother to stand under the corridor, and when he saw Zhou Zhen's father and daughter coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen supported the Li family, didn't let her salute, and said, "There are no outsiders, you don't have to be polite." ”

Li smiled yes, greeted Sister Zhou Shaojin, followed behind Zhou Zhen with low eyebrows, and went to the sedan hall.

Zhou Zhen has been in office all the year round, although the Zhou family has a sedan chair, it has been useless for many years, and it has fallen into disrepair, he originally wanted to hire a few sedan chairs, but Cheng Wei has already thought of it, and thoughtfully proposed to let the sedan chair in Jiuru Lane send them back and forth.

Ma Fushan gave a reward to those palanquin drivers.

Zhou Zhen asked Zhou Chujin and Zhou Shaojin: "Do you sit together or do you sit separately?" ”

"Naturally, sit together!" The two sisters said in unison.

Zhou Zhen laughed again and instructed Ma Fushan: "Put the box I prepared for you yesterday in the sedan chair of the eldest and second misses." ”

The smile of the Ma Fushan family should be.

They got into the sedan chair.

Waiting for the sedan chair, Zhou Shaojin opened the box, and there were halva, winter melon strips, dates, rice cakes, persimmons, and rose cakes...... A box full of Qi Fangzhai things.

Zhou Shaojin felt that his father was sincere...... Very good.

She lifted the curtain and looked ahead.

Her father's green tweed sedan chair swayed in front, but it made her feel very relieved.

On the boat, Zhou Zhen pointed to the scenery along the way and told them some allusions, not only the Zhou sisters, but also the Li family listened to them with relish.

Zhou Shaojin asked his father, "Did you see Uncle Chi when you went to the long house yesterday?" Why didn't he come over for dinner in the afternoon? ”

Zhou Zhen was a little strange that his youngest daughter would ask Cheng Chi, but he thought that his youngest daughter had been copying scriptures in the Hanbi Mountain House these days, and she must have had a lot of contact with Cheng Chi. I didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "I saw that I saw Fourth Master Chi, but Fourth Master Chi seemed to be very busy, I said a few words to him and left, but I didn't expect you to stay in the long room for so long." I heard that I still saw Mrs. Guo? He deliberately raised his daughter in front of the Li family, and said with a smile, "Old Mrs. Guo wouldn't have been a guest for a few years, it seems that I came back this time with the light of Chu Jin and Shao Jin!" Otherwise, how could there be such a good boat? ”

The boat they took was also from the Cheng family.

Zhou Chujin saw his father's intentions and pursed his lips and smiled.

Zhou Shaojin thought about why Cheng Chi didn't attend the banquet in Jiashutang, but her father didn't tell her clearly, and she didn't want to ask again...... No wonder Cheng Chi was like an invisible person in her previous life, she had lived in Cheng's house for more than ten years but had never met him.

Doesn't he worship his ancestors either?

Zhou Shaojin thought about it, and felt embarrassed.

The Cheng family's ancestor worship doesn't seem to have anything to do with her, so she naturally doesn't know if Cheng Chi has appeared?

After the ancestor sacrifice, it was past noon, Zhou Shaojin and others had a hasty lunch on the boat, and it was already sunset when they returned to Jinling City.
