Chapter 276: Gift-giving
The dog and the bird were separated, and the Fucui Pavilion was finally quiet.
Zhou Shaojin breathed a sigh of relief, angry that these hustle and bustle had disturbed Mrs. Guo, so she personally refilled a cup of tea for Mrs. Guo and left Mrs. Guo for dinner.
Mrs. Guo liked the enthusiasm of Fucui Pavilion and said with a smile: "Your Uncle Chi is back, I was originally going to pick him up and wash the dust, so we will have dinner in the upper room." ”
These days, in addition to breakfast, Zhou Shaojin also accompanies Mrs. Guo in the upper room for lunch and dinner, and his face can't help but blush slightly when he hears this, feeling that he has just received Uncle Chi's gift, and he has forgotten Uncle Chi.
Old Madam Guo looked at her appearance, guessed a few points, and said with a smile: "You and your Uncle Chi have different generations, and some things are naturally unexpected." ”
Zhou Shaojin's face turned even redder now.
The old lady and Uncle Chi have always treated her kindly, but she indulged herself and did not respect Uncle Chi as an elder, and this problem had to be changed.
Mrs. Guo smiled and asked about Zhou Shaojin's visit to the Oriole Pavilion.
Only then did Zhou Shaojin remember Cheng Yi's comment on the outer room of the five-room lord Cheng Wenyang, and he said "oops", and hurriedly told Mrs. Guo about it.
Old Madam Guo's expression became solemn.
Since Cheng Yi is tuned, he is playing with fireflies, what else can he say.
At that time, Mrs. Guo did not ask about the specific situation.
She thought that the matter of Cheng Wenyang's outer room would affect the fifth room and affect Cheng Nuo, but now it seems that the impact of this matter is far stricter than she imagined.
Old Madam Guo thought for a while and said, "Have you told your Uncle Chi about this?" ”
Zhou Shaojin's face was hot.
When she first arrived at Uncle Chi, she had already forgotten about it.
"Nope." She muttered to herself to make excuses, "Uncle Chi was busy with something at the time......
Mrs. Guo knew that her youngest son was busy because his six relatives didn't recognize him, and no one paid attention to him, and she thought that Zhou Shaojin had hit a wall with him, so she was embarrassed. comforted Zhou Shaojin and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Your Uncle Chi is that temper, just tell me anything in the future. It's done very well like this one. This kind of thing is a trivial matter in the eyes of others, but the embankment of a thousand miles often collapses in an anthill. Saying that, Mrs. Guo took Zhou Shaojin's hand and patted it, and praised, "You can see the root of the matter, very good, very good!" ”
said two "very good" in a row, which made Zhou Shaojin embarrassed, so he had to whisper to Mrs. Guo for tea.
Old Madam Guo smiled and took a sip of the teacup, then sighed and said, "I'm afraid that your Uncle Chi will already know about this matter." Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Jiashan live in the algae garden...... After that, I thought that your Uncle Chi was a little harsh on Jiashan, but now it seems that he can't be more right. These gentlemen next to the word 'Yan' of the Cheng family have to be rectified. ”
Zhou Shaojin was stunned.
Uncle Chi asked Cheng Xu to live in the algae garden, is it really the reason that Mrs. Guo said?
The thought flashed, her heart was already a mess, and then what Mrs. Guo said, how she answered, she had no impression, only until Mrs. Guo sent the little maid to Cheng Chi to legend, so that Cheng Chi did not go out at night and stay at home for dinner, she came back to her senses.
The little maid came back and said, "The fourth master said that since the second cousin has left the old lady in the Fucui Pavilion, the dinner will be placed in the Fucui Pavilion." He happened to come over to take a look. ”
Since Zhou Shaojin moved to Fucui Pavilion, Cheng Chi has not been here.
Since he left it in the long room, with his temperament, he must have come to see it.
Old Madam Guo smiled and nodded, and ordered to go down.
The Spring Festival Gala was immediately busy.
When Cheng Chi came, the doors of the hall of Fucui Pavilion were wide open, the corner of the wall was placed with a person-high tea plum, the table was also supported, and the chopsticks were also placed on the table, looking carefully arranged and waiting for people to come to eat.
Cheng Chi was a little satisfied when he looked at it.
When he had cleaned his hands and had eaten dinner, he was even more satisfied.
Although they are all light Hangzhou dishes, the people on the stove do it carefully and taste very good.
Cheng Chi rewarded the people on the stove.
Mrs. Guo was very happy to see it, and said to Zhou Shaojin with a smile: "Your Uncle Chi hasn't had such an interest for many years, so it can be seen that your Uncle Chi is going out very smoothly this time." ”
Zhou Shaojin was still thinking about the reason why Cheng Xu went to study in the algae garden, and he only smiled reluctantly when he heard this.
Mrs. Guo couldn't see it, but Cheng Chi could see it clearly.
What's wrong with this little girl?
When I went to listen to the oriole hall to find him, I was still elated, why did I feel uncomfortable in the blink of an eye?
Could it be that her mother said something to her?
Cheng Chi stood up quietly, walked to the verandah, and said, "These peonies are well raised, but my bird is sent to the right person!" ”
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly followed and said, "Does Uncle Chi like it very much?" I still have a few plants in my flower room, and I'll ask my mother-in-law to send them to your room later, right? ”
"No need." Cheng Chi said with a smile, "I run from place to place, often not at home, no matter how good the flowers are raised to me, their popularity will wither quickly." ”
That's right.
Otherwise, why do you say that idlers raise flowers?
Flowers have no spirit when they leave people.
Therefore, it is necessary to be accompanied by others.
But this is the first time that Cheng Chi has taken a fancy to Zhou Shaojin's things, and Zhou Shaojin feels that Cheng Chi has to think of it no matter what.
She smiled: "Either you will put the flowers there when you are there, and when you go out, you will move the flowers to me, and I will raise them for you." ”
Cheng Chi disagreed.
Mrs. Guo, who heard them talking, felt good, and also walked out of the hall, and said to Cheng Chi: "You really want to raise a few pots of flowers there, there are flowers in this house, and they all look different, and they are much more vibrant." ”
Cheng Chi did not speak.
Old Madam Guo seemed to think of something, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little cold.
Zhou Shaojin didn't know why, but she didn't want to see Cheng Chi uncomfortable, nor did she want Old Madam Guo to feel uncomfortable, so she pretended not to feel anything, and grinned: "Uncle Chi definitely doesn't like peony flowers." I also raised a few tree orchids, which are usually green, with small yellow flowers, dotted with green leaves, very beautiful. I'll have someone move you in later. ”
Mrs. Guo was suddenly a little glad that she had agreed to let Zhou Shaojin live in the Hanbi Mountain House.
Although this girl is not as clever as others, she is docile and caring, and treats people sincerely, and with her in the middle of such a mess that she doesn't know anything about, they are not as nervous as before.
She smiled and encouraged Zhou Shaojin: "Then later, you will let people move a few tree orchids to your Uncle Chi." He added, "The tree orchid you gave me last time was very good." ”
Zhou Shaojin smiled and responded "yes".
Cheng Chi looked angry in his heart.
This stupid girl doesn't know anything, she should do whatever her mother says, and she will be deceived and sold one day.
He didn't bother to talk to them more, so he looked around the courtyard, and when he saw that everything was arranged according to him, he turned around and went back to the hall.
Zhou Shaojin invited him to the banquet room for tea.
Cheng Chi took the opportunity to look at the study and the small Buddha hall again.
Seeing that the incense table in the small Buddha hall was still empty, he said as if unintentionally: "I remember that you are offering to Guanyin, why are you not offering it anymore?" ”
Did she say that?
However, all the people who go to Putuo Mountain to worship incense are for Guanyin, and she is the one who went to Putuo Mountain to worship incense.
Zhou Shaojin didn't suspect it, and said with a smile: "I originally confessed it with my sister, but when my sister got married, I asked her to take it to Zhenjiang." ”
Cheng Chi said "um" softly, his expression seemed to have softened a little, and said: "It just so happens that I have a statue of Guanyin there, which was originally going to be given away from Beijing this time, but it was not used later, and I will let someone bring it later." It was the light that I invited the host of Gansenji Temple to open. ”
Zhou Shaojin was overjoyed.
In the past few days, she has to go to the Buddha hall to offer incense to the Bodhisattva after breakfast in the morning, and she feels that she is not used to it.
"Thank you, Uncle Chi!" She smiled as brightly as a flower, flashing Cheng Chi's eyes.
Cheng Chi instructed Qingfeng to bring the statue of Guanyin, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart: Fortunately, Cheng Jiashan was arranged in the algae garden, if he faced Zhou Shaojin every day, he was afraid that he would not have the heart to study.
Thinking of this, he called Zhou Shaojin over early the next morning and asked her, "Did Cheng Jiashan study in Duojia Pavilion or in the Cheng family's other courtyard in his previous life?" Did you ask any gentleman for advice before the exam? Or an old acquaintance in the family who you have visited? ”
Zhou Shaojin didn't know any of this.
In this world, Uncle Chi arranged Cheng Xu to study in the algae garden, will the situation change?
If Cheng Xu didn't get the title of Xie Yuan, would his marriage with the Min family fall through?
If Cheng Xu's marriage with the Min family collapses, will he be entangled with himself?
Zhou Shaojin's hairs immediately stood up, and he said nervously: "Or, why don't you let Cheng Xu come back to study in Duojia Pavilion?" In his previous life, he seemed to have been living in Duojia Pavilion. ”
Cheng Chi glanced at her contemptuously and said, "I have to go out in a few days, so I moved him to the algae garden, it's good for you, for the sake of his fame, you actually want me to get him back!" ”
Zhou Shaojin suddenly burst into joy and said, "Then you don't want Cheng Xu to come back before you let him go to the algae garden to study?" ”
Cheng Chi looked at Zhou Shaojin, whose eyebrows were crooked, and said in confusion: "Then what do you think?" ”
"I didn't think it was, I didn't think it was," Zhou Shaojin waved his hand anxiously and smiled even sweeter.
Cheng Chi squinted at her.
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but wail in his heart.
Uncle Chi is good at everything, but he can't put sand in his eyes, and he likes to get to the bottom of it.
Fortunately, she has experienced a lot of things these days, and she is not half a beat slower than before.
"Aren't I worried that he will not succeed in his marriage to the Min family?" Zhou Shaojin felt that he was quite anxious and wise when he reached a critical time.
Cheng Chi said: "What the Min family wants is a son-in-law, as long as he can pass the exam, the Min family will agree to the marriage, what kind of heart do you have!" ”
Zhou Shaojin was overjoyed.
Seeing Huaishan and Qin Ziping coming over through the open window lattice, she ran away: "Uncle Chi, you still have something to do, I'll come to see you later!" ”
Cheng Chi shook his head.
When will this little girl grow up? When is it safe to hold on?
He looked at Huaishan and Qin Ziping, who were approaching, and reined in his emotions, and his expression became cold and stern.
