Chapter 64: Curiosity
Zhou Shaojin asked Cheng Yi: "Then do you know who else is around Uncle Chi?" ”
"How do I know!" Cheng Yi continued to hold Zhou Shaojin's wolf pen disapprovingly, and said, "Uncle Chi is an elder, how can we have a beak!" ”
That's right!
Zhou Shaojin's plan fell through.
She had to think to herself.
Cheng Wen's brain was not completely broken in the end.
After making trouble for more than half a month, he ran to the Hanbi Mountain House, knelt in front of Mrs. Guo with tears and snot: "...... This nine is like an alley, and you are the only one who understands. The nephew is not good, he is unlucky, and he married such a wicked woman, but that is also the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, I can't let the two old people lose face! I beg my aunt to help me straighten out the inner courtyard for the sake of the same lineage. ”
Everyone was amazed.
Even Mrs. Guo herself didn't expect it.
She politely excused herself: "I'm old, I have long ignored mundane affairs and rectified the affairs of the inner courtyard, I think you should entrust someone else!" ”
Cheng Wenchang couldn't kneel.
Mrs. Guo asked Cheng Chi to come over: "You go and talk to the ancestor, what does it mean to see the ancestor?" ”
Cheng Chi went to the Zelan Courtyard where Cheng Xu lived, and quickly turned back and said, "The ancestor said that this matter is all up to the mother!" ”
Old Madam Guo thought about it and asked Biyu to call the Yuan family to come over and talk.
"It's a big deal. Since the ancestor has also agreed, you can go to the fifth room on my behalf! Old Madam Guo solemnly explained to the Yuan family, "You put away your careful thoughts for the time being, don't think it's none of your business." The fifth room is next to the west group room, and the fourth room is across the river, it is only half an hour from Jing'an Zhai to me, and it is only an hour to the Yunzhen Hall where you live, it is the hinterland of the inner courtyard, if someone really comes in, it is all some women and children who are powerless, if something happens, the reputation of the Cheng family for hundreds of years will be over. Even if Cheng Wen didn't ask me to come today, I would take the initiative to take care of this matter in a few days. ”
Yuan is not an uninformed person, and when he heard this, he immediately assured Mrs. Guo: "Don't worry, I know the severity. Thousands of miles of embankment, collapsed in the anthill. The fifth room is like the mosquito nest at this time, and if we don't make up for it at this time, only we will suffer in the future. Since you have made up your mind to let me go, I will not be soft, first go to Uncle Wen to get the pair of cards in the fifth room in his hand, and he has three chapters of the law. ”
Old Madam Guo nodded with satisfaction and asked Mama Shi to send Yuan out.
When Zhou Shaojin heard about this, he hurried over to see.
Cheng Chi had already left, and the Yuan family was leaving the Hanbi Mountain House surrounded by seven or eight maids.
Her shoulders suddenly drooped.
Biyu smiled: "Second Miss, what's wrong?" ”
Zhou Shaojin smiled wryly and said, "I didn't watch the excitement!" ”
Biyu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Our Hanbi Mountain House is the most quiet, and if the second lady wants to see the excitement, there are more than three rooms and five rooms." ”
Of course, Zhou Shaojin wouldn't discuss this with her, listened with a smile, and turned back to the Buddhist hall.
Jade pulled Jasper's sleeve and said, "What are you talking to Second Miss about this?" Beware of being listened to. ”
Biyu smiled: "I think the second miss is very good, when she is fine, she gossip, and the second miss will not take it seriously." ”
It's not going to be taken seriously.
I just don't know when I'm going to take it seriously.
Jade was a little scary Zhou Shaojin from the bottom of her heart, and when she met her, she was naturally not as casual and kind as before.
Jasper likes Zhou Shaojin very much.
When Zhou Shaojin got the watermelon rewarded by Mrs. Guo and invited Jasper to share it in the Buddhist hall, Jasper said to her: "...... If something like this happens, Mrs. Wenda still has a face. Hiding in the house and pretending to be deaf and dumb, the matter of the fifth room is all up to our wife. Except for the two second-class maids who served beside Mrs. Wenda, eight or nine out of ten of the five room shifts were changed. It was Mrs. Wenda's nurse and the close-fitting big girl, one was thrown out, the other was pulled out with someone, and when she left, it was said that she didn't let anything out except a few clothes...... Now the fifth master of Wen is proud, he has the final say inside and outside the house, and the people in the fifth room are all looking at his eyes. Others say that our lady made a wedding dress for the fifth master of Wen. But our old lady also said that even if she made a wedding dress for the fifth lord of Wen, this wedding dress is not so easy to wear, and if something happens to the fifth room in the future, it will all be the responsibility of the fifth lord of Wen. If the fifth master of Wen really can't even manage these trivial matters at home, it is better to open the ancestral hall and divide the five rooms to set up their own doors.
When the fifth master heard this, his face turned white with fright. These days, I don't go out to drink and wipe cards, looking for flowers and willows. I go home every night to rest, and sometimes I get up in the middle of the night to patrol the night!
"It's just that the people in the second and third rooms are cheaper, and the people in the fifth room are replaced, and they are desperately stuffing people into it. Now the people in the fifth room are either the people who used to be in the second room, or the people who used to be in the third room. ”
Isn't the fifth room like a sieve?
Is the long house helping the five rooms or harming the five rooms?
Zhou Shaojin giggled.
Jasper knew she understood, and winked at her.
Zhou Shaojin's heart moved, and she really wanted to ask her about Cheng Chi, but when the words came to her mouth several times, she felt a little inappropriate, for fear of arousing Biyu's suspicion, but in the end she didn't ask.
Despite this, she was still in a good mood and happily copied the scriptures in the Buddhist hall.
Mrs. Guo inadvertently passed by the Buddhist hall and saw it, and couldn't help laughing, and said to Mama Shi, who was serving closely: "This kid has no heart and lungs, and he can hold his breath." ”
Mama Shi didn't know Zhou Shaojin, but she followed Mrs. Guo's words and said with a smile: "That's also the second lady's long fortune and kindness." ”
Mrs. Guo didn't make a sound, stood outside the window lattice and watched Zhou Shaojin for a long time, didn't let Zhou Shaojin know, and left quietly.
Zhou Shaojin happily returned to Jiashutang all the way.
Who knew that Cheng Ju's mother, Mrs. Yuda, was talking to Mrs. Guan.
Zhou Shaojin avoided the tea room on the side, and waited until Mrs. Yuda left before going to greet Mrs. Guan.
Mrs. Guan's expression was slightly uneasy, and when she saw Zhou Shaojin, she showed a slight smile. I asked her about copying the scriptures, and then I asked her to go back to the house to rest.
Zhou Shaojin felt strange and quietly asked her sister.
Zhou Chujin smiled: "Don't care! But he still couldn't help but tell her about it, "Isn't the second old lady of the long room gone?" Mrs. Yuda didn't know who she was instigating, so she actually found her grandmother and wanted to send one of her sisters to the second old lady in the capital to serve Uncle Fen......"
Zhou Shaojin was dumbfounded.
Cheng Fen is the only son of Cheng Xun, the second old lady of the long house.
How dare they think!
She found that the more she knew about the Cheng family, the more complicated she felt about the Cheng family.
In her previous life, she lived in the Cheng family for more than ten years in a daze.
"What did my grandmother say?" Zhou Shaojin asked her sister.
"How could my grandmother go and help her?" Zhou Chujin was also very disdainful of Cheng Ju's mother's actions, and spoke very politely, "Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Yuan in the family's room didn't speak, so it's our turn to meddle in things!" ”
Zhou Shaojin thought so.
Suddenly, I felt that if the five rooms were divided, it would seem to be a good thing!
It's June in a blink of an eye, and Zhou Zhen's birthday is approaching.
Zhou Shaojin made two clothes for his father, two pairs of socks, a fan cover, a mirror cover, and two purses, and a skirt made for his stepmother Li, as well as other birthday gifts prepared with Zhou Chujin, for Ma Fushan's family to send to Nanchang Zhouzhen.
Only half a month after the things were sent, Zhou Shaojin and Zhou Chujin received a reply from their father Zhou Zhen.
In the letter, Zhou Zhen not only told their sisters to be filial to their elders, be careful and safe, and not to be angry with their cousins, but also mentioned that the clothes sent by Zhou Shaojin were very suitable, and Li liked them very much, and finally sent a silver ticket of 200 taels to Zhou Shaojin and Zhou Chujin sisters, saying that Li gave their sisters their own silver and bought rouge pollen for their sisters.
It can be seen that it is not so difficult to live in peace with your stepmother.
Zhou Shaojin received the silver ticket into the cage.
Zhou Chujin felt distressed, she took Zhou Shaojin's shoulders and said, "If you don't want to, you don't have to be like this!" We are originally from Jinling, and we should marry from Jinling. ”
If Zhou Shaojin planned to do so at the beginning, but in the past few months after her rebirth, she had another feeling.
She said: "Sister, making a dress is just a gesture for me, but it can make my father happy, isn't that good?" ”
Zhou Chujin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were a little moist, he touched Zhou Shaojin's head, pursed his lips and smiled at her, and said, "Since it's a gesture, then make me a skirt too." What do you want to draw last time, what is the begonia Ruyi double butterfly group flower longevity brocade ......"
"Ouch!" Zhou Shaojin jumped up, "That's embroidered garters, how can it be embroidered on the skirt?" Don't you blind people's eyes? ”
"Didn't you say it would be easy? How? If I let you embroider it, you're pushing? ”
"Then I'll embroider you a colorful cloud brocade flower, it's also very beautiful......"
"I don't want anything else, I just want that begonia Ruyi what kind of brocade ......"
"Sister, isn't this difficult for a strong man?"
The sisters giggled and shoved around the house.
Zhou Shaojin was strange.
It stands to reason that Cheng Chi has not yet married, and the needlework in his house should be managed by his mother, Mrs. Guo. Why never saw his maid come to Mrs. Guo to get a pattern or ask for a cut.
Could it be that I don't usually pay attention to it?
Zhou Shaojin has more eyes.
But he found that Cheng Chi not only had never had contact with the Hanbi Mountain House for these trivial things in life, but also for daily chewing, and the Hanbi Mountain House didn't care about it.
If she hadn't known that there was such a person as Cheng Chi, she would have thought that Mrs. Guo had only given birth to two brothers, Cheng Jing and Cheng Wei.
Zhou Shaojin remembered the last time he saw Cheng Chi and Mrs. Guo getting along.
Whose mother and son met and didn't say anything about the parents, but sat together to play Go......
Between Mrs. Guo and Uncle Chi, it's so strange!
