Chapter 355: Baoding
Zhou Shaojin shook his head, quickly put these thoughts behind him, and helped his sister to slowly go to prepare a room for her.
A few served her in the Spring Festival Gala to freshen up.
Zhou Chujin sat on the Luohan bed and watched, talking to her: "Can you stay here for a few more days?" It's been a long time since we've had a good talk together. ”
Zhou Shaojin also wanted to live in Zhenjiang for a few more days, but she knew that the Liao family did not treat her sister very well in her previous life, although there were changes in this life, but her sister had an old lady and a mother-in-law, and she couldn't be a family at home.
"When my sister gives birth to a nephew, I'll come back and stay for a few days." She said with a smile, "Father is still waiting for me in Baoding Mansion!" I'm afraid he's in a hurry. ”
Zhou Chujin's heart and liver, and when he thought about it, he understood his sister's worries.
She couldn't help but gently twist the handkerchief in her hand.
It would be good if she was in charge of the house one day, and the sisters could get together for a few days if they wanted to, who would dare to gossip?
Although Fan Liu is not as shrewd as Mama Shang, he is also very proficient in this world.
As soon as she saw Zhou Chujin's expression, she knew Zhou Chujin's thoughts, and changed the topic with a smile: "Miss...... No, look at my mouth, I should call my aunt and grandmother. Guan Lao'an and Mrs. Chu have brought you a lot of things, including a few clothes that Second Master He and Second Master Yi wore when they were children, and they also specially explained that you have to sleep under your pillow every night. I'm going to get it for you. Let the incense be put away for you. ”
It is said that in this way, it is possible to give birth to boys.
Zhou Chujin happily agreed, and then turned up the children's clothes brought by Zhou Shaojin.
She wondered, "Why are there so many?" Did you get a good night's rest? ”
Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "This is all done by the people in the needlework room of Jiuru Lane, not my handiwork." ”
Zhou Chujin was the one who knew that the needlework room in Jiuru Lane was the fourth room, and Cheng Wei instructed him not to move, so he hurriedly said: "What's going on?" ”
Zhou Shaojin said with a smile: "That day I was tailoring clothes for my nephew, and it happened that Mrs. Wang from the needlework room came to give Mrs. Guo autumn clothes, knowing that I was making clothes for my sister's unborn child, she took the initiative to ask for it." I thought her craftsmanship was excellent, and it should be. asked the Spring Festival Gala to take a few more pieces of cloth, I was going to thank her, who knew that she didn't ask for any horses, she made small clothes for her nephew, and gave me a silver lock plate that was sealed immediately, saying that it was a full moon gift for my nephew, so that you don't dislike it...... This time, I brought it with me. ”
Zhou Chujin couldn't hear it, it was obvious that the Wang lady wanted to flatter her sister.
What happened after she left? Why did the people with heads and faces in the needlework start to look at Shao Jin differently?
After meeting the old lady of the Liao family and Mrs. Liao, Zhou Shaojin politely refused the invitation of the old lady of the Liao family and Mrs. Liao to the banquet, and went to her sister Zhou Chujin's banquet room for dinner.
After dinner and tea, Zhou Chujin sent the servants in the house and asked her seriously: "You tell me the truth, why do you suddenly want to go to Baoding Mansion?" Didn't you want to stay in Jiuru Lane before? The father also agreed...... Isn't it Mrs. Guo'......?"
"No, no." Zhou Shaojin hurriedly said, "Mrs. Guo waits for me very well, like her own grandmother...... it's just that she fell in love with Uncle Chi, and every day is like sitting on pins and needles, and she can't stay any longer, "It's just that something happened - the day after my cousin got married, I don't know who put something like Wushisan in Cousin Xu's tea, Cousin Xu was delirious, we met in the Taihu Stone Rockery Cave by the lake, he mistook Ji Ying for me, and wanted to pull Ji Ying back to the Hanbi Mountain House, Ji Ying thought that Brother Xu Cong wanted to scare her." , in the resistance, he beat Cousin Xu, who was weak in his hands and feet. Mrs. Guo placed Cousin Xu in the blue yarn cupboard in her inner room, and I felt that it was a little bad for me to continue to live in the Hanbi Mountain House, so I wrote to my father, wanting to see my father and my newborn sister, just in time for the family reunion for the New Year. ”
Zhou Shaojin had already made up his mind that if someone wanted to ask about the events of that day, he would answer like this.
Zhou Chujin was still a little confused, but when she saw Mama Shang and those guards who obviously did not belong to the Zhou family, she felt that if her sister angered Changfang, Changfang would not be able to treat her sister so well, so she didn't pursue these things, and asked Zhou Shaojin about her diet and daily life these days.
Zhou Shaojin smiled and talked to her sister with a smile, until she played the drum of the third watch and urged Zhou Chujin to rest with incense, and then Zhou Chujin said: "I will rest at this time tonight." ”
Liao Shaotang has gone to the capital to study, but Zhou Shaojin is a guest from afar, even if Zhou Chujin wants to sleep in the same bed with Zhou Shaojin and whisper, he can't help but help Zhou Shaojin arrange a guest room.
Holding incense smiled, and helped the sisters make the bed with the Spring Festival Gala.
The two sisters chatted for a long time, and made an appointment to meet in the capital, so they chatted with each other, and they didn't know when they fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, several young ladies of the Liao family came to visit Zhou Shaojin.
The status of Zhou Chujin's grandmother, the red gold ruby on her head when Zhou Shaojin went to see the old lady of the Liao family yesterday, and the silk gown like smoke made several young ladies of the Liao family feel a pang in their hearts, and they didn't dare to look at her from the eyes of the daughter of the "Sipin Prefect". Today, I saw that Zhou Shaojin only combed a simple comb, but wore a little emerald magnolia flower, the size of the pearl lotus seed inlaid on the tip of the shoe, and the dim light in the room exuded a quiet glow, and his expression became a little subtle.
Zhou Shaojin did it on purpose.
In the previous life, the people of the Liao family have always felt that her sister's background is not obvious, and she is afraid that her sister will subsidize her mother's family.
Fan Liu didn't notice anything, and Mama Shang immediately tasted a different taste.
She had a message get out.
Before noon, the wife of Zhenjiang Tong's judgment statement and the wife of Gao Yao, the prefect of Zhenjiang, both posted a post to invite Zhou Shaojin to come over for dinner.
Zhou Shaojin was very surprised, and couldn't figure out how she knew that she was passing by Zhenjiang and invited herself to dinner.
Naturally, she politely refused and sent two gifts in return.
But this matter spread all over the Liao Mansion.
When she got up to say goodbye in the afternoon, several of Zhou Chujin's aunts, concubines and unmarried sisters-in-law came out to see her off, and those old ladies Liao personally sent her out of the courtyard where she lived.
Zhou Shaojin left Liao's house with a smile.
But as soon as she returned to the official boat, she pulled Mama Shang and asked, "How can they post me?" ”
Especially Gao Yao's wife, her father is a scholar of the Ministry of Industry and a scholar of the Jinshen Palace, Qu Yuan, and she is close to the Duchess of Liangguo. And she doesn't look like the kind of person to welcome people.
Mama Shang smiled and said, "The fourth master once wrote a letter to Lord Gao, asking Lord Gao to take care of him when you stay in Zhenjiang Mansion." As for Lord Liu's wife, I don't know what it's all about! ”
"Oh!" Zhou Shaojin responded lightly, let Mama Shang retreat, and then couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and fell on the bed with a smile.

After that, the journey was smooth sailing, and I never encountered anything sudden or human.
Sixteen days later, they arrived in Tianjin.
Zhou Zhen's master had already brought people to wait at the dock.
When he saw the dozen or so guards accompanying him, he was taken aback.
Li Changgui hurriedly explained: "It's from the Cheng family. ”
The master breathed a sigh of relief, and after the warm reception, he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Shaojin sitting in the carriage a few more times, thinking that Dong Weng would pull a female son like this, but now he changed his attitude and acted a little more cautiously than usual.
It was harder to take a carriage than a boat, but fortunately they arrived at Baoding Mansion in only five days.
Zhou Zhen did not rent another house outside, but lived in the county office.
This day is not the day of rest, he is still handling cases in the court, and the Li family greeted Zhou Shaojin at the second door with a large group of maids and women.
Zhou Shaojin saw the little girl with pink makeup who was being held behind Li, and immediately fell in love with her half-sister.
After meeting the Li family, she couldn't help but gently touch the little girl's black hair, and said with a smile: "This is my sister Youjin, right?" ”
Li hurriedly asked Zhou Youjin to call her sister.
Zhou Youjin was very obedient, shouted "sister" in a milky voice, and buried her head in the nurse's arms shyly.
Zhou Shaojin giggled.
Li's heart fell to the ground, and he went to the east wing with Zhou Shaojin, and explained apologetically: "The yamen is very narrow, and I know that you are coming, and the master has already asked people to go outside to see if there is a better house for rent." It's just that the old man is a parent official here, and there are many things to consider, and he didn't find a suitable place for a while, so he was wronged to live in the yamen for a few days, and then we will be the same as soon as we find a suitable place. ”
Zhou Shaojin thought that he had brought too many people, his face was slightly red, and he said, "Mrs. doesn't have to be like this." Those guards were arranged by the old lady, and I will go back when I get to the realm. As for those who serve me, everyone will just squeeze in, and I will send a few back to Jinling in a few days. ”
"How can that work?" Li said with a smile, "There is no reason to let the people who serve around the second miss send back." ”
While the two were talking, Zhou Zhen brought back to the back house.
Zhou Shaojin happily greeted him, and specially introduced Mama Shang and Xiaotan to his father.
Because one was rewarded by Mrs. Guo and the other was rewarded by Cheng Chi, Zhou Zhen said a few words to them cordially, which made the two retreat, and took Zhou Shaojin to the study to talk with a smile.
Li personally instructed the maid and mother-in-law at home to help Zhou Shaojin clean up the room, and Zhou Zhen had already talked to Zhou Shaojin in the study.
"What happened to make you come to Baoding in such a hurry?" Zhou Zhen sank his face, majestic and majestic.
There are some things that can be hidden from my sister, but I can't hide them from my father, not to mention that she also accepted Uncle Chi's love and needed her father's help to pay it back!
Zhou Shaojin was anxious and told Zhou Zhen everything that had happened.
