Zhou Shaojin nodded.

Cheng Chi smiled: "First time going out? ”

Zhou Shaojin let out a "hmm".

Cheng Chi said: "Don't get seasick? ”

"No seasickness."

After a few words, Zhou Shaojin's mind finally calmed down.

Cheng Chi didn't speak, just stood at the bow of the boat and looked into the distance.

The wind blows gently, and you can smell the grass and the shallow fragrance of "I smell it".

With such a good opportunity, Zhou Shaojin felt that he should say something.

What can be said?

Her mind was spinning quickly, and she couldn't find any meaningful topics for a long time, so she had to say: "At noon, we ate small fishing shrimp caught from the lake, although it was rough, it was better than freshness, and the taste was still very good." Did Uncle Chi eat it too? What do you think it tastes like? ”

"Okay." Cheng Chi said in a flat tone, "There are only these things to eat on the ship!" ”

Zhou Shaojin took the opportunity to say: "Uncle Chi also takes a boat to Huai'an?" Where to go? Can you have a good view on the way? Can I always eat freshly caught river food on a boat? ”

"I went to Huai'an by land." Cheng Chi said, "It's faster by land." ”

Zhou Shaojin silently clenched his fists and said, "The land route is faster, but it is not as comfortable as the water route." How did Uncle Chi come up with the idea of choosing to go by land? ”

Cheng Chi glanced at her with a smile and said, "The first time you went out, how did you know that it was more comfortable to take the water route than the land route?" ”

Zhou Shaojin paused and said, "Didn't everyone say that?" ”

Cheng Chi laughed.

The eyes are bright, the eyebrows and eyes are stretched, elegant and graceful.

I don't know why, Zhou Shaojin always feels weird in her heart, but if you ask her to say what is weird, she can't say it, so she has to suppress the confusion in her heart, and said without words: "Listen to the grandmothers, we will go to He's house in one hour, and I don't know if He's family will make it difficult for us?" ”

"No, it won't!" Cheng Chi said, "When I came to propose marriage that day, things were basically said, but now it's just a formality." After a few days, the dowry was given, the wedding date was set, and the wedding was almost ready. ”

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but smile when she heard this.

It can be seen that Uncle Chi doesn't understand these either.

She remembered that when her sister got married, in addition to Xiaoding Liao's family, she was impressed, and she didn't have any special memories of the next appointment and questioning period, but after the wedding date was set, the two families were busy, and the eldest aunt went back and forth from Jinling to Zhenjiang several times, and the Liao family came frequently...... Moreover, when getting married, the matchmaker has to wear a red dress to help the groom welcome the bride...... Does Uncle Chi know?

Zhou Shaojin felt funny when he thought about it, his smile couldn't help spreading, and he couldn't help but say: "On the day your cousin got married, you and Master Gu were going to wear a dress to greet you, are you going to ride a horse or are you going to walk?" ”

Cheng Chi was a little surprised.

He was just giving his mother a face, not to mention that he also had the eldest master of the Gu family, who was the head of the mountain, as his companion, he felt that he was at most lending the identity of the two Jinshi to Cheng He, so he agreed without thinking too much. Who knew it would be such a hassle to be a matchmaker.

It seems that he will still let Huaishan inquire about what this matchmaker is going to do?

Zhou Shaojin saw that Cheng Chi really didn't know anything, and his heart jumped inexplicably.

She said quickly: "Not only do you have to greet the bride, but when you get to the woman, the woman will close the door to seal the red, and the matchmaker will have to accompany the groom to say good things to the woman, if the woman wants the man to make a couplet or make a poem or something, the matchmaker also has to help the groom catch the pen to ensure that the groom can marry the bride smoothly and profitably......"

Cheng Chi looked at her sparkling eyes and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

This little girl probably thinks that she looks very lonely, and she must not be able to stand the hustle and bustle of the wedding, right? She didn't know that he had always kept his promise, as long as he promised something, even if he didn't want to, he would try his best to do his best.

Isn't it just holding the He family to marry the bride back?

What's so hard about that?

He smiled: "These are all trivial things, but it's a pity that I didn't go out, otherwise I would have seen more people if I wore an official uniform to pick up my brother." He said, touching his chin and saying, "However, there is a sign to hold." I still remember that when I came back from the capital, your uncle Jing made two signs for me, one that read 'Jinshi and the first', and the other that read 'Zhide fifteen years Renchen Branch Erjia Twelve'. If I'm not mistaken, both of these signs should have been placed in the ancestral hall. During the Chinese New Year, the chief manager of Qin also told me that he would take out these two brands and repaint them, so that I could find an errand as soon as possible, and when the time came, the two brands would be used directly......"

Zhou Shaojin was stunned.

She knows that many people who have passed the Jinshi exam will hold such a sign when they return to their hometowns to show off, but Uncle Chi shouldn't be this kind of person, right?

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but look at Cheng Chi carefully.

His eyes are very large, the corners of his eyes are slightly raised, and his eyelashes are thick and curled, at this time he thinks carefully, his eyes are not only deep, but also strict, and there is a kind of seriousness that people have to believe.

Zhou Shaojin almost jumped up.

How can this work?

This is Cousin He's wedding, and it's not Uncle Chi's homecoming!

If these two signs are raised, who will know that this is Cousin He's wedding?

"No, no need!" Zhou Shaojin waved his hand again and again.

Cheng Chi looked at Zhou Shaojin puzzled, as if to say, "Isn't this what you said?" Why don't you say you don't need to".

Zhou Shaojin was embarrassed and hurriedly made excuses: "I mean there is no need to be so lively, as long as Uncle Chi wears a dress to greet him." ”

Cheng Chi said: "This is not good! Your grandmother asked me to be a matchmaker for Brother He'er, didn't she take a fancy to my identity as a two-ranked jinshi? He said and groaned, "I think so, don't jump to conclusions too early, I'll first tell Chief Manager Qin to find out the two decks of signs, and wait until you ask your grandmother." ”

Zhou Shaojin really wasn't sure what her grandmother would say.

In the previous life, one of Lin Shisheng's cousins died of illness, and his cousin-in-law's family begged Lin Shisheng to come to Lin Shisheng in order to be decent when he was buried, and spent 5,000 taels of silver to give him a loyal and consolation rank.

But Uncle Chi's words are all about this, how can she refuse?

Zhou Shaojin responded "yes" uneasily, but he didn't know how much he regretted it - he knew that he shouldn't have mentioned the matter of welcoming his relatives, and when it came to welcoming his relatives, someone would naturally tell him that he was messing with something!

Cheng Chi looked at the face that was pretending to be calm but extremely depressed, and almost laughed out loud.

This little girl really has a beautiful face.

She didn't use her brains to think about it, no matter how vain he was, it was impossible for him to steal the limelight at his nephew's wedding!

That's too tasteless!

However, what did she send Fan Qi to the capital for?

Do you really think too complicated?

Or was there something he was overlooking?

Cheng Chi pondered and asked her a few more words to see if he could ask something, and suddenly remembered a sound of footsteps on the deck.

His brows furrowed almost invisibly, and then he turned back with Zhou Shaojin with a solemn expression, and saw Lang Yue walking over from the side of the boat.

"Fourth Master, Second Cousin," he saluted the two respectfully, and said, "The eldest master of the Gu family has woken up from his lunch break and wants to discuss with you about going to Pukou." ”

Cheng Chi let out a "hmm", bowed slightly towards Zhou Shaojin, and left the bow of the boat.

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly curts, waited for Cheng Chi to leave, thinking that he was about to arrive at Pukou, and if he was seen, he would also return to the cabin.

In the cabin, Zhou Chujin has not come back yet, and Cheng Ji is serving by Cuihuan and drinking tea.

Seeing Zhou Shaojin coming in, she muttered, "Where have you been?" I'm sick to death! Can we go overland when we come back? ”

Zhou Shaojin looked at her and felt uncomfortable, and said, "Why don't you discuss it with Aunt Lu?" ”

It is only one day from Pukou back to Jinling.

Cheng Ji nodded wiltedly and instructed Cuihuan: "Take off all the hairpin rings on my head?" It makes me uncomfortable. ”

Cuihuan couldn't help but hesitate a little and said, "Miss, you better bear with it!" We went to Pukou He's house as a guest, if we were not well-dressed, we would be disrespectful to He's house......"

Zhou Shaojin also persuaded her, and also asked Cuihuan to open the window of the boat and help her fan the wind.

Finally, I heard the boatman shouting, "Pukou has arrived," and everyone in the cabin came to life.

Cuihuan was busy helping Cheng Ji tidy up his clothes, while Zhou Shaojin urged the maid to count the cages.

After the He family came to greet the people of the Cheng family and Cheng Chi and the Gu family for a short greeting, the boatman took the boat board, helped the ladies to get off the boat, and got into the sedan chair.

Zhou Shaojin quietly lifted the sedan curtain and looked out.

Pukou doesn't look big, but the streets are neat and clean, and the pedestrians on the road look pleasant, and it can be seen that the people here are living a good life.

When the sedan chair turned into an alley, the alley "crackled" with the sound of firecrackers.

Zhou Shaojin knew that the He family was about to arrive, so he hurriedly put down the sedan curtain and sat down.

The door of the He family was opened, but in order to respect the He family, Cheng Chi and the others walked through the side door on the left, and the sedan chair of Zhou Shaojin and other female dependents entered through the side door on the right and stopped directly in the sedan hall.

Zhou Shaojin got off the sedan chair and saw two gorgeously dressed women and a mother-in-law who looked like an official media greeting them in the sedan hall with a smile, and some adults and children who looked like servants gathered outside the sedan hall to watch the excitement.

The official media of the two companies introduced the two sides.

The crowd stepped forward and saluted.

Zhou Shaojin heard someone whispering among the servants: "Miss Cheng is so beautiful!" Look at the one who wears a lake-blue gown, her material is twelve taels of silver a horse, Mrs. Nine said that it is a new model from Hangzhou, and she wants to keep it for Miss Five as a dowry......"

"And the one who wears a pink gown, the comb grate on his head is really beautiful, like a peony flower ......"

"I think that jewelry looks better in a green makeup gown......"

The eldest lady of the He family looked slightly gloomy when she heard this.

These servants are getting more and more unpleasant! If you say that the young lady of the Cheng family is beautiful, you can say that you are beautiful, what kind of material and how much silver do you do? What else do you say to keep as a dowry, isn't this the momentum of the Changcheng family to extinguish their own prestige?

She winked at the grandmother beside her.

The grandmother understood, smiled and said to the servants: "Today is a good day for the eldest lady, what are you doing here when you don't go to serve the tea station?" It's not going to be scattered yet! ”

The servants scattered laughing.

Zhou Shaojin and others were welcomed to the main room to serve tea.
