Chapter 176: Periodically
Zhou Shaojin didn't expect Cheng Chi to ask herself this question, she was stunned for a moment before saying: "He didn't do anything to be sorry for me, I just don't like his way of acting very much...... "It's a good thing, but as long as you get involved with him, everyone's eyes will all gather, as if everything will be in front of everyone's eyes, which makes people very uneasy......
Cheng Jiashan doesn't know how many people's eyes are the golden beetle son-in-law, Cheng Chi believes that Zhou Shaojin is also very clear in his heart.
This reason is not enough for a girl to avoid Cheng Jiashan like a snake and scorpion!
But Cheng Chi didn't ask.
There are some things that cannot be achieved quickly.
He was very sure that Zhou Shaojin had a secret, but whether this secret would affect his plans was still up for debate, and it was too early for him to find out.
Cheng Chi nodded with a smile and said, "Some people really don't like to live under the gaze of others. Cheng Jiashan is the eldest son and grandson of the Cheng family, and it is inevitable that people will pay attention to it, and it is normal for you to be unaccustomed to it. ”
Zhou Shaojin was relieved, let out a long breath, and smiled gratefully at Cheng Chi.
Cheng Chi said: "If I go to the capital and there is nothing important, I will tell you." If your grandmother and sister agree to let you go with me, I'll take you to the capital!" ”
"Really!" Zhou Shaojin's eyes lit up, shining like stars in the night sky.
Cheng Chi shook his head secretly in his heart.
No wonder Cheng Jiashan wants to run after this little girl with a dead face, this little girl is indeed beautiful.
He said, "I left Master Gu alone in the cabin, and I have to go back and take a look." You stand on the bow of the boat and take a look, and go back to the room early! The wind is cool at night, be careful to blow sick. It's getting late, and there's nothing to see. When you will arrive in Jinling, let the maid call you, there are a lot of boats moored on the Beijiang Bridge, and at night the mast will be hung with red lanterns, dozens of more, less one or two, the lake is illuminated red, the scenery is quite special, you rarely go out, but it is also worth seeing. ”
The words he said were considerate and thoughtful, which made Zhou Shaojin feel warm in his heart.
She sincerely thanked Cheng Chi, and when Cheng Chi's figure disappeared into the stern of the boat, she returned to the cabin.
Zhou Chujin has been paying attention to her sister's movements, and when she heard the sound, she sat up and said, "Shaojin, are you back?" ”
Zhou Shaojin smiled and responded "yes", sat down next to her sister's bed, and told her sister about meeting Cheng Chi at the bow of the boat. Of course, she naturally didn't say a word to her sister about Cheng Chi asking her about Cheng Xu.
Zhou Chujin said angrily: "You too, if you want to go to Baoding Mansion to see your father, just tell me, you can always find a chance, why bother Uncle Chi." Although I have only met Uncle Chi a few times, I can tell from your mouth that Uncle Chi is an honest and trustworthy gentleman, if he really asks you to go to Baoding with him at that time, will you go or not? ”
If Cheng Xu was still in the capital, she would definitely not go. If Cheng Xu returned to her hometown, she would have to go to the capital even if she was punished later.
It's just that she can't tell her sister this, she laughs and fools the past.
When he arrived at Beijiang Bridge in the evening, Zhou Shaojin looked at the red lantern reflected on the lake like stars, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Zhou Chujin, who was huddled in front of a window with her sister, was also fascinated and asked Zhou Shaojin: "How do you know that there are lanterns to watch at night." ”
Zhou Shaojin smiled: "Uncle Chi said it." ”
Cheng Ji on the other side pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "I also met Uncle Chi Cong today, why didn't he sue me?" ”
"That's because you didn't talk to him!" Zhou Shaojin looked at the red lanterns that passed by the boat they were on, and said, "Uncle Chi is a very good person and is willing to help people, but people look a little cold." ”
"It's just a little cold." Cheng Ji turned her head, looked at the dozens of red lanterns lit on an official ship in the distance, and muttered, "I think he is a little ......cold," she said, and suddenly shouted, "Look, over there, over there, there is a painting boat." ”
Zhou Shaojin and Zhou Chujin both looked in the direction she was pointing.
There really is a painting boat.
The delicate glazed windows, all kinds of brightly lit lanterns, the shadows that appear from time to time, and the sound of silk and bamboo...... It attracted many people by the Jiangbei building.
"I don't know whose painting boat it is?" Cheng Ji said enviously, "If I can sit and swim in Mochou Lake, I will not be in vain." ”
It was as if she was about to die.
Zhou Chujin hurriedly bowed to the west and said: "Tong Yan Wu Ji, Tong Yan Wu Ji!" Bodhisattva, don't listen to her nonsense. ”
Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Ji couldn't help laughing.
After getting off the boat, they got into the carriage.
At this time, it was already the middle of the day, and Zhou Shaojin was a little worried about the curfew.
When she reached the city gate, she lifted the curtain to see.
I saw that Qin Ziping was walking in the front, he was riding on a tall jujube red horse, and beside him was a black paint flat-topped carriage like them.
A hanging basket hung down on the city wall, and Qin Ziping took out a token-style thing from his arms and put it in the hanging basket.
The guards on the city walls watched for a while.
After about a pillar of incense, the side gate by the city gate opened.
The carriage beside Qin Ziping was the first to enter the city and galloped away.
followed by the carriage in which the Jiang family was sitting, and then the carriage in which Zhou Shaojin was sitting.
When the carriage entered the city, Zhou Shaojin saw Qin Ziping and the little flag who came to open the door for them talking with a smile, and it should be very familiar to look at it.
Since the Cheng family has such a token, why didn't any of them escape before the imperial court issued an order?
It can't be that Uncle Chi left the Cheng family and took this token with him, right?
Zhou Shaojin pondered in his heart. When I returned to Jiuru Lane, I found that Mrs. Guan and Mrs. Chuda had not slept yet, and were waiting for them to ask about going to Pukou to make a small decision.
Jiang Shi, who sent away the eldest wife of the Gu family, ran around for a day but was still in good spirits, and she talked endlessly about what she had seen and heard in the He family: "...... The eldest lady of the He family is worthy of being the younger brother and sister in person, not to mention that she is beautiful, but she looks at her temperament...... After all, Mrs. He lives in the capital, she is a person who has seen the world, and she is also atmospheric...... We went to make up our minds, but we didn't say anything, and we were very happy...... It's a good family affair......"
Zhou Shaojin was drowsy listening to the sidelines, and finally waited for Jiang to finish speaking, Mrs. Guan and Mrs. Chu saw that things were very smooth, and they were very happy, and they wanted to invite Jiang to use Yexiao and go back, but fortunately, Jiang was worried about Cheng Lu, and he couldn't shirk it after thanking him for a long time, and invited him to hold a thank you banquet tomorrow, and Mrs. Guan and Mrs. Chu sent Jiang out.
After some tossing, it was almost midnight (three o'clock in the morning) when Zhou Shaojin went to bed, but she slept until three o'clock in the morning the next day.
She shouted "terrible" repeatedly, and let the Spring Festival Gala that heard the movement and came in to serve her to freshen up and quickly fetched water.
The Spring Festival Gala smiled: "The eldest lady confessed early this morning, saying that the eldest lady and the second lady worked hard yesterday, let's not wake up the two young ladies." Afraid that Zhou Shaojin would be uneasy, he said, "The eldest lady hasn't woken up yet!" ”
Zhou Shaojin let out a long breath and lay down again.
She remembered the scene when she was on the boat with Uncle Chi yesterday.
Although I can't tell if Uncle Chi has a good impression of her, Uncle Chi talks to her and sees her smiling very gently, so he shouldn't hate her, right?
That's a good start.
But what should she do next?
Zhou Shaojin didn't have any score in his heart.
She got up muttering, and Cheng Ji ran over and said, "What about the two purses you promised me?" “
Why are you still thinking about this?
Zhou Shaojin said: "It's no problem to show you your purse, but you have to sue me for whom?" I can't embroider a girl right away, can I? ”
"I don't know who to give it to." Cheng Ji said a little angrily, "My mother only said that I would embroider two purses for her so that she could give them away, and the rest was all about embroidering purses, I wanted to ask someone to spend a lot of money outside to buy two back, but my mother had to do it myself, so I said, or I will come to you, my mother just scolded me, but I didn't say that you could help me do it, I wondered if my mother was going to show it in front of anyone, so I thought I took your embroidery to pretend to be ......"
"So you can say yes!" Zhou Shaojin obeyed her and said, "I asked Shi Xiang to help you embroider, and you will say that I embroidered it when the time comes, and your mother can't do anything about you." ”
She was a little suspicious that this matter had something to do with He Fengping's mother's matchmaking for Cheng Ji.
Cheng Ji hesitated: "This, can it work?" ”
"What's wrong with that?" Zhou Shaojin said fearlessly, "You just asked me to make a purse, and you didn't say that I would make a purse for you personally!" ”
Cheng Ji laughed.
Zhou Shaojin said: "This is a report and a report." ”
"Then your vindictiveness is so strong!"
The two joked and quickly put the matter behind them.
Zhou Shaojin still copied books in the Bihan Mountain House every afternoon, and went to ask for peace at noon and evening.
When Cheng He's wedding date was set, Zhou Shaojin suddenly had more opportunities to see Cheng Chi in the Hanbi Mountain House - sometimes Cheng Chi had to play chess with his mother; Sometimes Cheng Chi practiced Tai Chi sword in the bamboo forest behind the main house; Sometimes it's just a passing by.
Zhou Shaojin is like a hungry person, looking at the braised pork in front of him, but there is no way to put chopsticks.
What a good opportunity, she wasted it in vain.
She sighed in her heart, but she didn't know that as long as Cheng Chi was there, she would stay for a while longer, intentionally or unintentionally.
On this day, when she went to say goodbye to Mrs. Guo, she saw Cheng Chi accompanying Mrs. Guo to play Go.
He dropped his son lightly and drank tea with a leisurely expression.
Mrs. Guo's face was very solemn, it was the time when it was bright, but it was like summer, and her forehead was sweating from time to time.
Although Zhou Shaojin doesn't know Go, he can already see it based on the looks of the two.
She didn't dare to disturb, so she stood aside and waited for Mrs. Guo to finish playing chess or inadvertently looked up to see her.
Cheng Chi looked at his face slightly condensed, and suddenly asked Zhou Shaojin: "Do you know how to play Go?" ”
Zhou Shaojin shook his head.
Cheng Chi was slightly surprised.
Zhou Shaojin's face was swollen and red.
Go can only be played by two people, whether it is in a past life or a present life, she is usually just one person. So she won't play a game played by two or more people.
She didn't want Cheng Chi to misunderstand that she was stupid.
It's just that before she could speak, Old Madam Guo had already waved her hand at Zhou Shaojin with a frown, and said, "Don't make noise!" ”
