Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but exchange a look with Cheng Chi.

Cheng Chi said: "What else did you inquire?" ”

Fan Qi always felt a little nervous when facing Cheng Chi. He took a deep breath, and then said: "I inquired, he claimed to be a landed Xiucai, he had no money to go home, and wanted to ask for errands such as the Xixi tent, and it happened that the house was poor in the account, and he somehow moved people, and he did not have a guarantee or acquaintance to recommend, so he did that family's account room." ”

Cheng Chi raised his eyebrows, called Huaishan in, and said, "You go and write a deed of sale, let Fan Qi lead the way, and go to Wanping." Let's just say that Cheng Lu is a fugitive servant who has swept up our family's wealth, and first report to the official and put him in the government office. ”

So ruthless!

Fan Qi glanced at Cheng Chi, Zhou Shaojin, and Huaishan, and saw that the three of them were all as usual, so they couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly followed Huaishan out.

Cheng Chi knew that Zhou Shaojin would not refute him, but he was still a little worried that Zhou Shaojin would not bear it, and said, "Since we have decided to clean him up, don't be merciful......

Zhou Shaojin nodded without waiting for him to finish speaking: "I know!" He's too vicious. If we let him go, it will be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain. Maybe one day he'll bite us back. Our momentary kindness will not only not be exchanged for peace, but I am afraid that we will also put ourselves in trouble. ”

Cheng Chi was very pleased, and kissed Zhou Shaojin's cheek with a smile: "I didn't expect my little girl to be so smart!" ”

Zhou Shaojin blushed.

During this time, Cheng Chi always kissed her face for a while, and kissed her hand for a while. Lingering and warm, she not only likes it, but also nostalgia.

But things didn't go well.

In the evening, Huaishan rushed back with a little blue face and said, "I didn't find Cheng Lu." Maybe he found out when Fan Qi followed him. He disappeared early this morning, except for the warm clothes and the silver he usually accumulated, the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and even a few pairs of old shoes and socks were not taken away. It is said that one or twenty taels of silver were also found. ”

Fan Qi's face was full of shame, and his head was about to be lowered to his chest.

Zhou Shaojin comforted him and said, "It's okay, it's okay." At least he knew that he couldn't stay in the capital anymore. As long as he is far away from us. Don't be weird, just do it! ”

Cheng Chi saw that he was Zhou Shaojin's companion, and Fan Qi was just an ordinary person, so he didn't bother with Fan Qi. Instead, he nodded. The expression is mild. said to Fan Qi: "Just pay attention in the future." You go down and draw a portrait of Cheng Zhen with Huaishan, and I'll let my subordinates pay attention. ”

Fan Qi was overjoyed, and retreated with the guilt of compensation and Huaishan.

Cheng Chi told her: "It's easy to dodge with an open gun." Hidden arrows are hard to defend against. You have to be careful when you go out later. It's best to bring Mama Shang with you. ”

After seeing Mama Shang's skills, Zhou Shaojin was naturally busy.

Xinglin Hutong sent someone over to deliver the post, saying that Cheng Xu was going to get married, and asked Zhou Shaojin to come over to help, but the messenger also said: "Mrs. said, I still have to make the old lady happy." If the old lady has something, the fourth lady should do things for the old lady first! ”

Speaking of which, it's just that Zhou Shaojin is not invited, for fear that others will say that they are not intimate with each other, and they are really reluctant to invite Zhou Shaojin over.

Zhou Shaojin was unhappy in his heart.

Yuan didn't want her to go, and she was worried that she had no excuse not to go!

"When you go back to Madame, just say thank you for her understanding, the old lady really can't get out here, so I won't go over to help." She said softly to the woman who delivered the letter, "When the bride comes to greet the old lady, I will meet the bride with the old lady." ”

Didn't she want to go by herself?

She won't go.

The woman didn't dare to raise her head when she heard this, and felt that she was so unlucky that she had received such a difficult errand - the lady asked the fourth lady to serve the old lady here, and the fourth lady said that she would not go when the bride recognized her relatives, and if the bride came to kowtow to the old lady to recognize her relatives, she would give a meeting gift, otherwise she would not have to recognize this kiss!

Unexpectedly, the fourth wife looked soft and weak, and she was not a lump and flattened.

The most pitiful thing is herself. The words of the eldest lady are passed on orally, and the words of the fourth wife are also passed on orally, and when the fourth wife does not attend the wedding over there, those relatives and six relatives must be asked, and the eldest lady may push herself out, she can neither say the words of the eldest wife nor the fourth wife, and then she will not become the two-faced one?

The woman was so frightened that she retreated.

The Spring Festival Gala who was listening to it was very angry, and as soon as the mother-in-law stepped out of the door with her front foot, she said with her hind legs: "Mrs. Yuan, what is this?" What do we say when asked? ”

Zhou Shaojin took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said, "What's not to say?" No one can deny the old lady on our side, and no one can find fault with me when I serve the old lady here. Even if it's wrong, it's her son's wedding, she's not afraid of losing face, what do I have to be afraid of! ”

It makes sense to think about the Spring Festival Gala, and I couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Shaojin glanced at her and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's go to the old lady, we have to talk to her old man about this matter, otherwise her old man will think that I don't want to help!" ”

thought that he still had a problem with Cheng Xu in his heart.

The Spring Festival Gala responded "yes" with a smile, helped Zhou Shaojin dress up and put on makeup, and went to Mrs. Guo.

Cheng Wei moved, Cheng Xu was going to marry a daughter-in-law, and Cheng Rang was about to say goodbye.

When Zhou Shaojin passed, Mrs. Guo was trying on clothes. When I saw her, I smiled and beckoned, "What do you think I wore on the day I recognized my relatives?" ”

It is a dark green double happiness treasure bottle pattern of Hangzhou silk gown.

Zhou Shaojin smiled and said, "It's better to have a festive jewelry." ”

Mrs. Guo smiled and asked Pearl to carry her jewelry box, and said, "What you said is in my heart - I wanted to wear that set of emeralds, but I felt that the color was a little darker." ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "That set of mutton fat jade is good." ”

Mrs. Guo smiled: "I forgot about this set." "Let Pearl take the key and go to the storeroom. And said, "I remember that I seem to have a set of pink agate stones, which I still wore when I was young, you take it out and give it to Shaojin." ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "I'm not here to ask you for jewelry. The fourth master usually buys me jewelry. ”

Mrs. Guo said with a smile: "I'll give it to you, you will leave it to your sons, daughters and daughters-in-law in the future, and let them know that this is what your grandmother left for them." ”

Zhou Shaojin's face suddenly turned red.

Shiro really likes her very much.

Last night she took the initiative, and Shiro was very happy.

She didn't believe she couldn't succeed.

Mrs. Guo smiled when she looked at her, very satisfied.

Zhou Shaojin saw that her old man was happy and thought about it. I swallowed the words that Mrs. Yuan said. only said that he would go to see Miss Xie with the Qiu family in two days.

Old Madam Guo understood better than her, and said, "If I guessed correctly, it should be the third or fourth miss of the Xie family." I also inquired, although Lord Xie's family is poor. The door is windy. The two girls who married out are also quite famous in their in-laws' family. Marrying a wife and virtue does not count the dowry. If you are of good character, don't stare at the things of the world. People are the foundation of a family. ”

Zhou Shaojin respectfully agreed.

On that day, I went to Daxiangguo Temple with Cheng Ji and Cheng Sheng.

Sure enough, as Mrs. Guo said. and Cheng Rang looked at Miss Xie Jiasan. Medium height, fair and delicate skin, a little round face, with baby fat, a pair of eyes are big, clear and bright, with a bit of girlish liveliness and lightness in his gestures, at first glance he is a child living in the home of his mother and brother.

Zhou Shaojin liked it at first glance.

Qiu and Cheng Sheng also liked it, and Cheng Sheng also joked to Zhou Shaojin: "See, people are only two months younger than you." ”

Miss Xie Jiasan's boudoir name is a "Jue" character, the fourth year of junior high school.

Zhou Shaojin was teased a lot by Cheng Sheng, and his face became thicker, so he coughed lightly and said, "Don't say that you are two months younger than me, even if you are six years older than me, you have to call me 'aunt'." As he spoke, he glanced at Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng was stunned for a while, laughed haha, went to twist Zhou Shaojin's face, and complained to Qiu: "Mother, my aunt bullied me!" ”

Zhou Shaojin avoided it with a grin.

Cheng Sheng is six years older than her.

Qiu Shi watched and smiled from the side, ignoring them, and said to Wu Zaoxiu's third daughter-in-law, Wu San's grandmother, who invited her to help say goodbye: "You see when it is convenient for the Xie family to let the two children merge into eight characters!" ”

That's what it means to be in the middle of the match.

Grandma Wu San smiled happily and said, "I'll go and tell the Xie family!" His eyes couldn't help but glance at Zhou Shaojin, and he said to Qiu with some envy: "You concubines are really affectionate." ”

Qiu Shi glanced at Zhou Shaojin, who was itchy by his daughter and didn't dare to stop her daughter because she was pregnant, and then looked at Cheng Ji, who was standing aside with her stomach crossed and her waist crossed, and said with a smile: "She's still young!" I just think of her as a daughter. ”

Grandma Wu San smiled when she heard this: "Miss Xie doesn't know which life the third lady of the Xie family has cultivated the blessing to be able to marry into your family." ”

Qiu pursed his lips and smiled.

Because Grandma Wu San still had to go to the Xie family to talk back, she led Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Sheng to eat food in Daxiangguo Temple before going back.

Zhou Shaojin went straight to Tingxiang Courtyard, told Mrs. Guo about the results of the look, and said admiringly: "Your old man is really good!" If only you were there! ”

In the future, if she marries a daughter-in-law and a girl, she must ask the old lady what she means.

Old Madam Guo couldn't help but laugh when she looked at her dependence, but she was very happy in her heart.

Cheng Xie and the two discussed the next hiring.

Zhou Shaojin went to Cheng Wei's house several times, and accompanied Mrs. Guo the rest of the time.

Mrs. Guo also saw some clues.

Quietly found Mama Lu and asked, "Why didn't Shao Jin go to Xinglin Hutong to help?" ”

Zhou Shaojin didn't deliberately cover it up, and what Yuan said naturally couldn't hide from an old man like Mama Lu on the side of Chaoyangmen.

Mama Lu very tactfully told Mrs. Guo what happened.

Mrs. Guo was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Then let Shaojin follow me, I really have to have someone to serve here." Her expression was very plain and her tone was very smooth, but Mama Lu, who had served by her side for decades, secretly sighed for Yuan in her heart.
