Zhou Cheng's yard is where Xiao Ren and the others lived before. This yard is not small, and there is a small gate.

Zhou Cheng returned to his room and took out the swaddling clothes and looked at them for a while.

Zhou Tong asked him to inquire about what Xu Qiao put in their house, could this swaddling clothes also be brought by Xu Qiao?

Otherwise, why isn't it on the account?

Zhou Cheng took the swaddling clothes and looked at them again. This swaddling baby is some years old, and it is the most common bright red, but it is old, the color is dull, and it has no luster.

The swaddling clothes were padded with cotton, Zhou Cheng pinched them, pinched them again, and then he took out the dagger and wanted to cut the swaddling clothes, but after thinking about it, he still didn't start.

If my aunt and grandmother wanted this swaddling clothes, and he cut them up, wouldn't it be wasted?

Well, he'd better go and ask his grandfather.

Zhou Cheng also thought about asking Ah Jiang first, but after thinking about it, he asked his grandfather, and his grandfather might tell him, but if he asked Ah Jiang, Ah Jiang would definitely not dare to say.

Early this morning, Master Zhou took Zhou Cheng to the Beijing Health Division, Zhou Zilong was really happy to see his grandson, and led him to see Xu Qiao, Xu Qiao also gave him a paperweight on his bookcase for the first time.

came out of Xu Qiao's house and met Ning Jiu, Zhou Zilong also took him to greet Ning Jiu, Ning Jiu had obviously heard of Zhou Cheng, looked him up and down curiously, and praised him for his talent.

In the evening, Zhou Zilong went home, and these days, he came back for dinner for the first time.

When the grandson comes back and the family is reunited, they always have to get together for a meal.

After dinner, Zhou Zilong was about to go back to the yamen, but Zhou Cheng suddenly jumped out and said with a smile: "Grandfather, I'll go with you." ”

Zhou Zilong was very happy, Zhou Cheng went out for a trip and came back and became sensible, this is because he knew that his grandfather was on duty in the yamen too hard, and he had to go over to wait for him.

The grandfather and grandson brought wine and food and returned to the yamen.

When I arrived at the Yamen, I didn't see Ning Jiu, but I saw Ning Qi.

Zhou Zilong said: "People said that during Xiao Yi's illness, Ning Qi and Ning Jiu took turns to come over on errands. Tonight, it's Ning Qi's turn. ”

Zhou Cheng stretched his neck to look at the other room and asked, "Xu Qiao is not there?" ”

Zhou Zilong snorted coldly: "Who knows, since that night, he hasn't been on duty in the yamen, and he will go home after the yamen, and I don't know what is going on with this person, I didn't bother with him, he didn't dare to see me." ”

"Grandfather, you and Xu Qiao are at odds?" Zhou Cheng asked.

"No, it's just what he put in our house, by your mother, forget it, don't say it, it's none of your business." Zhou Zilong got angry when he thought about it, his eldest daughter-in-law, alas.

Zhou Cheng rolled his eyes and asked, "Could it be that the things he put in our house are gone?" ”

"Yes, a broken swaddling clothes, I don't know your mother, forget it, don't talk about it, annoying!" Zhou Zilong said angrily.

The next day, Zhou Cheng said to his mother: "The capital is really boring, I'll go out to play for a few days." ”

Mrs. Zhou was anxious when she heard this, and scolded him by the ear; "Little rabbit cub, you've only been back for a few days and you've been running out again, and there is chaos outside, and you don't even have a corpse collector when you die."

"I can't die, don't worry." Zhou Cheng said.

"No, where are you going, if you dare to go, I'll peel you off!" Mrs. Zhou scolded.

"Auntie, I have something, I really have something, it's urgent, oops, you don't understand, in short, don't stop me, otherwise I won't come back if I leave this time."

After Zhou Cheng finished speaking, he ran away, Mrs. Zhou couldn't stop him if she wanted to, and seeing Zhou Cheng turn over the wall and disappear, Mrs. Zhou could only jump and scold.

Zhou Cheng returned to the rising sun, panting and handed over the swaddling clothes to Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong smiled: "You ran back?" ”

"No, ride a horse, hurry up." Zhou Cheng picked up the teapot and poured it into the spout.

Fang Fei saw it and said, "Okay, this pot will be given to you, no one else will use it again anyway." ”

Zhou Tong smiled and said to Fang Fei: "You go and ask Mrs. Jiang to cook a few things that Zhou Cheng likes to eat, you look at him like that, I guess I haven't even eaten along the way." ”

Zhou Cheng was already hungry, so he took a few pieces of dim sum and followed Fang Fei to find Mrs. Jiang.

Zhou Tong took the swaddling clothes and went to Xiao Ren's house next door.

Xiao Ren's wound has healed, but after all, the injury is in the shoulder, and it will take a few days to recover as before.

Zhou Tong put the swaddling clothes in front of him and said: "Zhou Cheng is back, this swaddling clothes were put in their house by Xu Qiao that day, and later they were taken away by Mrs. Zhou as a relic of Concubine Rong, Xu Qiao wanted to take the swaddling clothes back, and Zhou Zilong found that the swaddling clothes were gone." ”

Xiao Ren looked at the swaddling clothes and asked, "Have you seen it?" Any questions? ”

Zhou Tong said: "I don't know how to needle and thread, but I have seen the peony flowers embroidered on this swaddling cloth, Mrs. Shen is good at female red, one year she embroidered a cloak for me and Xinyu, Xinyu's one is embroidered with orchids, and my one is a peony, which is exactly the same as the peony on it, and it looks the same pattern." ”

"In other words, this swaddling cloth was sewn by Mrs. Shen herself?" Xiao Ren asked.

"Well, I think so." Shen Tong said.

"Could it be that because Xu Qiao lost this swaddling clothes, Mrs. Shen turned against him, so Xu Qiao sent Mrs. Shen to Anhui? Then Xu Qiao is too cautious, or because of this incident, he saw Mrs. Shen's character clearly, and felt that he was not worth taking risks for this kind of person? Xiao Ren sneered at Mrs. Shen's Huang family, if it weren't for the fact that the Huang family had raised Zhou Tong, he would have done it when he was in Xi'an.

Therefore, now when he talks about Huang, he doesn't say a good word.

Zhou Tong thought for a while and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, what you said seems to be quite right, maybe it was because of this that Xu Qiao made up his mind to send her away." Xu Qiao is different from you, even more different from the third brother, and different from Yueyang Jiang Xiujie, he doesn't have family help, everything he is doing now is on his own, so he will cherish what he gets in front of him more than anyone else, just like I ......"

Zhou Tong exhaled a long breath and continued: "Just like me, I cherish the opportunity to live even more. ”

Xiao Ren was slightly moved, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand and held Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong smiled at him and said: "Since Xu Qiao is such a person, then he will be more decisive in dealing with people or things that may threaten his status, his family, and his life. ”

Like her, she never relented to all those who threatened her life.

That's why she understands Xu Qiao better than others, because she and Xu Qiao, in some ways, are the same people.

They come from hardships the same, cherish what they get the same, and they are the same decisiveness and ruthlessness towards all the people or things that are not good for them.
