When I came back from Ganquan Temple, everyone was tired, and Zhou Shaojin slept on the bed and slept until dawn.

It's been a long time since I've had a good night's sleep like this!

Zhou Shaojin stretched his waist, lay on the bed and listened to the chirping of birds, and then got up.

Today is the ninth day of the fourth month, and after the Buddha Bathing Festival, she is going to Jing'an Zhai to attend class.

went to ask Mrs. Guan for peace, and the Spring Festival Gala carried pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to serve Zhou Shaojin to Jing'an Zhai.

Cheng Ji has not yet come.

Jing An Zhai is the same as before. The four wide open halls are separated by a floor cover, the first room in the east is a large bookcase of Mr., and below are a few small bookcases that are staggered, the Taishi chair, the Duobao Pavilion shelf, the three-legged gilt incense burner, and the couplet of "a hundred years of trees, reading ten thousand books" written by the ancestor of the Cheng family, Cheng Zhi, on both sides of the big book.

Zhou Shaojin was silent for a long time.

The Spring Festival Gala cautiously shouted "Second Miss".

Zhou Shaojin came back to his senses, but saw a little maid running in in a hurry: "Second Miss, you're here!" And he said, "Why are you here so early today?" The master is still having breakfast, and he won't come over until a while. ”

Zhou Shaojin saw that this maid had a kind face, and knew that she was serving Aunt Shen, but she hadn't seen her for a long time, and she couldn't remember the name of this little maid.

She had no choice but to smile and say, "It's okay, I'm here early today." You don't have to worry about me, I'll practice calligraphy first. ”

The little maid breathed a sigh of relief and helped Zhou Shaojin make a pot of tea.

The Spring Festival Gala put pen and ink, and Zhou Shaojin calmed down to practice calligraphy.

wrote two large pieces of paper, and Cheng Ji came.

"Why didn't you wait for me?" She raised her eyebrows and looked like she was about to flip the table.

Only then did Zhou Shaojin remember that in the past, she would wait for Cheng Ji every day on the way they came to Jing'an Zhai - Xiaohongqiao.

"I've been waiting for you for almost a quarter of an hour, and you haven't come." Cheng Ji's face turned red with anger, and said, "If it weren't for a little maid telling me that you would have come earlier, I would still be waiting there stupidly!" ”

Zhou Shaojin decided not to meet her in general, and said: "This matter is my fault." Don't wait for me in the future, let's come to Jing'an Zhai separately, so as not to wait and wait, and the time will be delayed on the road. ”

Cheng Ji is not a dull person, on the contrary, she is also very smart and clever, otherwise she would not be liked by the Cheng family.

"What do you mean?" She asked, her eyes more confused, "You mean to break up with me?" ”

It's not like you don't have to break up, just don't stick together like you used to.

But Zhou Shaojin has never been the kind of person who can hurt others at will, she said euphemistically: "I want to copy the scriptures for Mrs. Guo, it is the "Lengyan Sutra", a whole ten, there are so thick," she gestured, "It will be finished one day and the other day." How can I have free time in the future? I didn't wait for you today, so I took the time to write two large pieces of paper! ”

Cheng Ji looked at the two big pieces of paper on Zhou Shaojin's bookcase, like a deflated ball, but his mouth still said unforgivingly: "Then you should also tell me!" What is this quiet? ”

"I'll follow you in the future." Zhou Shaojin calmed things and decided to take this opportunity to make what he should say to Cheng Ji clear, "Not only can I not wait for you to go to school together in the future, but I can't wait for you to leave school together-Mrs. Guo said, if necessary, I will go to her for lunch at noon, and I can't let the elders wait for me, right?" ”

"That's it!" Cheng Ji's face was full of frustration and said, "Then, can we play together on vacation?" ”

"It will definitely not work until the scriptures are copied." Zhou Shaojin said, "The future will be talked about after the scriptures are copied." ”

Cheng Ji is energetic, and it is rare to be free, so she ignores her for half a year, maybe she has made other friends, and the two will naturally be estranged at that time.

Zhou Shaojin made up his mind, took out another large piece of paper, and began to practice calligraphy.

Cheng Ji tilted his head and looked at it from the side, and said strangely: "Shaojin, I found that I haven't seen you for a few days, your handwriting is good!" ”

"Really?" Zhou Shaojin perfunctory her.

But she didn't stop, and said, "Really! You look at this one, you used to be always afraid of it, and you took it halfway through writing, but now you do it in one go, and it feels much smoother. ”

Zhou Shaojin shook his hand and muttered, "Really? ”

"yes, yes!" Cheng Ji said excitedly, "There is also this point, which is also very decisive, making people feel clean and ......neat at first glance," she commented on the side on the side.

A gentle voice interjected: "Yes, Shao Jin's words have improved a lot. ”

The two turned around and saw Aunt Bai Shen, who was wearing a blue and plain Hangzhou silk gown with flower hair standing behind them.

"Mr. Shen!" The two stood up in unison and curtsied.

A gentle smile appeared on Aunt Shen's thin face, and she said, "Get up!" Let's take a look at the words written by Shao Jin. ”

In her previous life, Aunt Shen gave her a vague impression.

She was also a girl in a family of poetry and books, she wrote well, and when she was twenty years old, she was a widow, but when her mother's family fell, her husband's family began to treat her harshly. She simply taught female students in a large family in Jinling and made a living in a museum.

Although Aunt Shen's temper is very good and she treats people gently, she has never restrained them. Once Cheng Sheng said it, he wondered if she "believed in Lao Zhuang".

Zhou Shaojin stood beside her respectfully, listening to Aunt Shen's comments on her, and couldn't help but think of her brother-in-law's aunt Liao Zhangying.

He was also a hard-working man, with a noble character and a full stomach, but he lived his life in silence.

The morning class was about "Meng's Mother Broken Weaving" in "The Legend of the Martyr". Because he had studied it again, Zhou Shaojin thought about going to Mrs. Guo in the afternoon, and couldn't help but be a little distracted.

Aunt Shen asked her a few questions tactfully, and she answered them all correctly, so Aunt Shen let her go and didn't care about her anymore. This made Cheng Ji a little angry but helpless. So after class, she pulled Zhou Shaojin and asked, "Have you asked someone to give you a private lecture?" ”

Zhou Shaojin was afraid that she would always pester herself like this, so she coaxed her: "I learned it at home by myself." ”

Cheng Ji didn't believe it, and hesitated: "Isn't that to read hard day and night?" ”

"yes!" Zhou Shaojin said, "Wasn't I sick at that time?" Nor can I go out. I thought it would be better to read the book a few more times. ”

Cheng Ji twisted his handkerchief, hesitating whether to learn from Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly said: "I have to go back quickly, otherwise I will delay the time to go to Hanbi Mountain House." "I broke up with Cheng Ji in Xiaohongqiao.

Cheng Ji returned to Ruyixuan sullenly.

Jiang was directing the maid to change the curtain for Ruyixuan, and when he saw this, he hurriedly touched her forehead and said with concern: "What's wrong?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

"Nope!" Cheng Ji entered the inner room and said, "Shaojin has been sick for a few days, as if he has changed as a person, he talks less, he doesn't come to Ruyixuan much, and his homework is better than mine......"

Seeing his daughter like this, Jiang's heart sanctured, and he hugged his daughter in his arms and said, "Don't worry, I will let you enter the Hanbi Mountain House no matter what." ”

Cheng Ji frowned: "Is she ignoring me for this?" ”

"Needless to say." Jiang sneered and said, "She is the daughter of a little four-rank prefect, and she can still turn the sky upside down!" ”

Isn't my mother wholeheartedly looking forward to my brother's title on the gold list?

Why did he despise Shaojin's father so much at this time?

Cheng Ji wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhou Shaojin naturally didn't know what happened to Ruyixuan, she returned to Wanxiangju and saw Cheng He's personal servant Wu'er sitting under the eaves of her wing and drinking mung bean soup.

Hearing the movement, he hurriedly put down the bowl, hurriedly walked over, took out a small black lacquered white magnolia box from his arms and handed it over: "Second Miss, you can come back!" Uncle heard that you were going to copy the scriptures for Mrs. Guo, so he specially asked me to send this box of ink ingots, saying that the old lady left Luo Mo, as solid as a rock and as black as rhino paint, for you to use when copying the scriptures. ”

Only with good ink can you write good words.

Since it was left by the old lady, it was used for Cousin He's end!

How could she take it!

"No, you take it back." Zhou Shaojin refused to ask for it, "The Mo Hanbi Mountain House who copied the scriptures will prepare, and it is simply a tyrannical thing to use this." ”

"Uncle guessed that the second lady would say that." Wu'er said with a smile, "Our uncle said, this ink is not given for nothing, I want to exchange a few pieces of Chengxin paper with you, the uncle has the father of the same classmate to celebrate his birthday, please go to eat the birthday, the uncle wants to give it as a birthday gift." ”

Huizhou's Chengxin paper is as clean as jade, thin and smooth, which can be called a must, and the price is better than gold.

When Zhou Zhen was celebrating the New Year, he sent a knife to Zhou Shaojin's sisters, stating that their sisters each had half a knife.

If it was in the past, Zhou Shaojin would definitely not understand, but with the experience of her previous life, she clearly knew that if a family like them married a daughter, if there was such a thing as a dowry, it would be more decent than any gold, silver and jewelry.

This is one of the dowries that the father prepared for their sisters.

Zhou Shaojin sent Shi Xiang to open the cage and get the paper, but the ink was not accepted.

Wu'er said with a bitter face: "If I take the paper back like this, won't the uncle peel my skin?" ”

Cousin He's the gentlest to others, how can he punish Wu'er?

However, Wu'er's words also reminded Zhou Shaojin.

When did Cousin Hu lack a few pieces of paper, saying this just made her feel at ease to leave the ink, if she pushed it back and forth, she would have disappointed Cousin He's heart. It's better to take it for the time being, and send it back when you have a chance to send it back later. As for whether she used the ink he sent to copy the scriptures for Mrs. Guo, she didn't say, how would Cousin Hu know?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had a good idea. He accepted the ink with a smile, rewarded Wu'er with two eight-cent silver bills, and wrapped a few pieces of snacks for him, so that Shi Xiang sent him out, and she personally put the box Luo Mo in the cage.

Looking at the copper lock on the cage, Zhou Shaojin was a little dazed.

Speaking of which, in her previous life, in order to pass the time, she not only embroidered Guanyin and raised two-color peonies, but also made ink, Buddha incense, and incense dew, and they were all constantly improved according to the ancient recipes, and the things sold in ordinary shops were not as good as the things she made.

Why don't she also make a few ingot inks to give gifts to her eldest cousin!

In the future, when I have free time, I will make something else to give to my sister, grandmother, aunt, cousin, and cousin...... And the father...... Stepmother...... It's my own heart.
