Chapter 200: Hangzhou
Zhou Shaojin sat at the round table with his elbows on his cheeks, looking at the shiny jewelry on the bed in a daze.
The red coral Buddha beads and beads, the glazed hairpin hairpin were given by Uncle Chi, and the gold and steel diamonds were given by Mrs. Guo, who also lit a lantern for her in the Fayu Temple in Putuo Mountain, as well as eating, wearing and chewing along the way...... She owes Mrs. Guo and Uncle Chi a lot!
How can she pay it back!
Mrs. Guo said that let her not forget the goodness of her old man, how could she forget it?
Without her old man, she is just a little girl under the fence in Jiuru Lane.
Mrs. Guo once said that if she is grateful to her old man, she will make a handkerchief or a small coat for her old man when she is fine, but she can't finish making a lifetime of needlework for Mrs. Guo!
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but smile bitterly, shouted the Spring Festival Gala to come in, and said: "You and Bi Tao pack up everything, I will take these red coral jewelry back and give them to my grandmother and sister, and these glazed hairpins will be given to them who hold incense, you see if it is enough, how much else do you need to make up, and when we get to Hangzhou City, we will buy some comb grates, brocade and the like to make up for it, in short, I would rather buy more than short anyone, don't send things to send contradictions." ”
The Spring Festival Gala should be smiling, and the peach is registered one by one.
Zhou Shaojin went to Ji Ying.
Ji Ying was wearing a short brown worn by a man, wearing a cloth belt, and was talking to a few women with round waists, when she saw Zhou Shaojin coming to her, she was very surprised, and welcomed her to the inner room to drink tea, and said, "It's so late, what is the urgency for you?" ”
Zhou Shaojin held the tea and looked around, and when she saw the sword that was originally hanging in the inner room of the firefly, she couldn't help but say with great interest: "Do you know martial arts?" It's like what is written in those books, you can fly the eaves and walk on the wall, and cross the river with a reed. ”
Ji Ying hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "I know martial arts, it is a family heirloom, but it is not as magical as it is written in the book." ”
In this way, Zhou Shaojin already felt amazing.
Her eyes were full of envy and admiration when she looked at Ji Ying: "You are so amazing! No wonder you're not afraid of Uncle Chi. also cut off that Jiao Ziyang's arm with a sword, I should have thought of it a long time ago. You can do it! Isn't it hard for girls to practice martial arts? How could your parents allow you to practice martial arts? I've heard people say that there are a lot of reckless people in the Cao Gang, do they also have a lot of characters with very powerful martial arts, you are a girl, it doesn't matter if you deal with a person, but if there are too many people, you will definitely not be an opponent, right? I see that although you know martial arts, it's better not to face them directly, lest you be besieged by them. Uncle Chi should also know that you know martial arts, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have let you lead those mothers-in-law on night patrols. A few days ago, I always dragged you to go shopping, did you make you sleep? Uncle Chi said, we will leave for Hangzhou Mansion early tomorrow morning, didn't you say that you want to watch the tide? Can you go with us then? Do you want to talk to Uncle Chi about changing people on duty at night......
Zhou Shaojin was verbose, and the more he spoke, the farther he went.
Ji Ying couldn't help but stroke her forehead and said, "Second Cousin, your Uncle Chi knows about me." I can come to Hangzhou with you this time, the reason why your Uncle Chi took me with me is that he wants to take a fancy to my martial arts skills, and he can take a rough mother-in-law to patrol the night. But although the tide of Qiantang is spectacular and dangerous, someone was swept away by the waves in the early years, so when he takes you to Qiantang to watch the tide, he will definitely take me there, you can rest assured. She was afraid that Zhou Shaojin would continue to ask questions curiously, and then returned to the topic, "What are you looking for me so late?" ”
Zhou Shaojin's face turned red, and he whispered in a strange voice: "I, I don't have enough silver, can you lend me some silver tickets, and I'll pay you back as soon as I go back!" Really, I'll give it back to you as soon as I get back! It was the first time she had borrowed money from someone in two lives, and in the end, she couldn't wait to promise.
Ji Ying was surprised: "Didn't your Uncle Chi pay you for your purchases?" Cheng Siye shouldn't be such a stingy person! ”
"Paid." Zhou Shaojin was even more embarrassed, his voice lowered a few points, and said, "But I'm not good enough to always let him pay me." I originally thought that I would return the silver he bought for me, and then borrow a few taels of silver from you for emergencies, but Uncle Chi bought things as if he didn't need money, and this was my first day, if it wasn't for Uncle Chi to help pay the bills, I was afraid that I would have spent the money I brought out of the house, and it would not be enough......"
Ji Ying understood, she said, "I brought out five hundred taels of silver, is it enough to borrow four hundred taels from you?" ”
Zhou Shaojin was secretly surprised.
Jihotaru is so rich!
With such a large amount of silver, you can buy land and property.
It can be seen that Zhou Shaojin, who knows how to buy things in the process pool, is a little unsure whether this silver is enough.
The most important thing is that after she rewarded Fan Qi, she didn't have much silver in her hand, Ji Ying lent her so generously, she had to have silver to return to Ji Ying when she went back!
"Lend me a hundred taels of silver." Zhou Shaojin decided to take care of his heart and buy less things in the coming days.
Ji Ying thought for a while and said, "I'll lend you two hundred taels of silver!" My father once said that money is the guts of man. You have money, and you are a little bolder. ”
"Okay." Zhou Shaojin didn't have a pretentious relationship with her, she didn't need to be so much.
Ji Hotaru went and took the silver tickets for her, all of them were ten taels and a thick stack.
Zhou Shaojin wrote down this situation.
When she returned to the house, the Spring Festival Gala was still counting the glazed hairpins, and said: "Second Miss, it's also luxurious to give out all these things, and you can use them in the future, so you can't reward them all at once." You can also send some to the eldest lady, the eldest lady is married, let the eldest lady take it out and reward it to the mothers in charge of the in-laws' family, after all, the eldest lady has to deal with the people of the Liao family for a lifetime. ”
The implication is that it is better to keep these things until she gets married to reward the people of her in-laws' family.
Zhou Shaojin sighed slightly in his heart.
If those things hadn't happened in her previous life, the Spring Festival Gala would have followed her, and she would probably be a big girl who could take charge of herself or even manage her mother!
She asked the Spring Festival Gala: "You are only three years older than me, are you going to be a mother who is going to be a housekeeper by my side or do you want to be released when you are old like Shi Xiang?" ”
The Spring Festival Gala blushed and said in a low voice: "If you can follow the second lady, it will be the blessing of the slave maid for a lifetime!" ”
The words have been said clearly, Zhou Shaojin smiled slightly, and Bi Tao served to freshen up.

The next day was a sunny day.
Wang Xiao kept sending them on the boat, and then reluctantly watched their boat sail out of the Ningbo dock.
Cheng Chi stood at the bow of the boat, looking into the wind.
Huai Shan said in a low voice: "I have found it clear, the silver sent by the king's shopkeeper is his own income over the years. Moreover, because of his excessive expenses over the years, the life of the family has been tight, and his daughter-in-law has been looking for death and life with him several times. I heard that he was competing with the shopkeeper of the Quanzhou branch for the position of the big shopkeeper of the Zhejiang branch. ”
"Looks like an ambitious guy." Cheng Chi said, "If someone can suppress him, it may not be a thousand-mile horse." I am afraid that he will not obey the discipline, and he will become more and more bold, and when the time comes, something will happen. ”
Huaishan didn't care about this, and he didn't dare to evaluate.
Cheng Chi smiled: "Do you know what Miss Zhou Jiaer went to do yesterday when she went to find Ji Ying?" ”
The corners of Huaishan's mouth couldn't help but curl, and said, "I heard that I went to borrow silver...... Ji Ying's mouth was very tight, but the eyes of the merchant woman were even sharper, saying that she saw Ji Ying take the silver ticket to Miss Erbiao. ”
Cheng Chi let out a faint "oh", but a thick smile appeared from the bottom of his eyes.

Zhou Shaojin and others arrived at Hangzhou Mansion in the evening.
The one who came to pick them up was the big shopkeeper of the Hangzhou branch number.
The big shopkeeper was about forty years old, white and pure, fat and dunden, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, gentle as if he was born with a smile, like a Maitreya Buddha, and said unhurriedly: "Fourth master, the city gate will be closed in half an hour." However, because the prefect of Hangzhou is the same year of the second master, we have always been very concerned about the ticket number, knowing that you and the old lady passed by Hangzhou Mansion to stay for a few days, not only specially let the master send a name post over, but also let me confirm your itinerary after reporting to his old man's house, saying that he wanted to come to the door in person to ask the old lady to ask for a peace, because there is no indication from you, so I am not good at making decisions, just asked the officers and soldiers guarding the city to take care of it, and our sedan chair will be released as soon as it arrives. As for the place to live, it was also arranged in the backyard of the ticket number according to your instructions, and the rough envoys and maids who served were also arranged. Do you want to have a cup of tea before you get off the boat, or do you just get off the boat? ”
Seeing what he said, he obviously urged them to get off the ship quickly, so that the city gate would not be closed and there would be trouble, but he said it so softly without a trace of impatience.
Zhou Shaojin, who was standing behind the curtain, sighed in his heart, people are like Maitreya Buddha, just like Li Lao'an in the third room, his skin is like bones, at best he is a fake Maitreya Buddha.
Cheng Chixuan entered the city at dusk is also useful.
Xiao Zhenhai and Jiang Qin were both in Hangzhou Mansion, although he would not avoid them, but if they could know a few days later, it would be more convenient for him to act.
He immediately decided to disembark immediately.
Zhou Shaojin and the others packed up their cages in the afternoon, listened to Cheng Chi's decision, and knew that the time was urgent, so they sorted it out a little and got on the sedan chair that had already been prepared for the Hangzhou ticket number.
When the sedan chair landed in the backyard of the Hangzhou ticket number, Zhou Shaojin was taken aback.
Of course, the Ningbo branch is not as good as the Hangzhou branch. The courtyard of the Hangzhou branch is not only much larger than the Ningbo branch, but also uses pineapple wood furniture, jade bonsai, gold bricks, and precious orchids, which are magnificently arranged, like the private houses of rich and noble families rather than the backyard of a ticket number. But this is not enough to surprise Zhou Shaojin, after all, the ticket number is a place to do business, the bigger the transaction, the bigger the show, what surprised Zhou Shaojin is the two osmanthus trees planted in the middle of the yard, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, there are thick hugs, the eaves are high, and the oily green leaves are dotted with yellow stamens like stars, but the bluestone fence of the new bricks and the newly cultivated soil are all told to Zhou Shaojin, these are two osmanthus trees that have just been transplanted.
The fat shopkeeper told Mrs. Guo: "...... How can there be no osmanthus trees in the Mid-Autumn Festival? So I specially chose this courtyard planted with osmanthus trees for you, and when it came to the Mid-Autumn Festival, you and the four old men smelled the flowers and enjoyed the moon and ate moon cakes, which can more or less comfort a little homesickness. ”
