Chapter 88 Schadenfreude
Qiao Yun obviously didn't expect this old immortal to protect Zhou Anzhi like this, and was stunned for a moment, just when Zhou Ruosu cast her eyes for help, a person knocked on the door.
Mama Lin opened the door and saw that it was Fu Bo, so she let him in. As soon as Fu Bo entered the room, he was stunned and immediately saluted, "The master said that a few days ago, he asked everyone to have dinner together, but I didn't expect that Mrs. and the eldest lady and the second lady were all there, and they happened to go together." ”
The ancestor didn't want to go, but he thought that Zhou Anzhi was going to go, and he was afraid that she would be bullied, so he thought about it or let Zhou Anzhi put on a fox fur for her.
"Grandmother, let's go." The corners of Zhou Anzhi's mouth curled, holding the arm of the old ancestor. "Anzhi, are your injuries healed?" Pulled by her, the old lady remembered to ask.
"It's already scabbed, and it doesn't hurt on weekdays." Zhou Anzhi felt that it was nothing, and replied casually. Qiao Yun took Zhou Ruosu to follow behind the two, but saw Zhou Anzhi followed by a woman in blue, Zhou Ruosu blurted out, "Who is she?" When did the Zhou family allow outsiders to come in? "The voice is a little sharp, a little mean.
Zhou Anzhi didn't look back to know who she was talking about, and a seductive smile on the corner of his mouth was even worse, "My sister said that I laughed, Yingge is my person." ”
"It turned out to be my sister's person, didn't my sister know that the maids in the house all had maid clothes? This is a transgression. Zhou Ruosu said happily, with schadenfreude in her tone, as if she had caught some handle from her.
Zhou Anzhi waited for her words, pretending to be embarrassed, "The rules of the house are naturally known to my sister, if my sister thinks that the second prince's people have violated the rules, she wants to ask her father if she needs to punish her?" ”
Not only Zhou Ruosu and Qiao Yun were shocked at this time, but even the ancestors also set their eyes on Yingge. "If you don't know, don't care." The atmosphere in the air was gradually condensing, a little colder than the wind and snow. Qiao Yun smiled at Zhou Anzhi, looking like a mother.
"Naturally not." Zhou Anzhi didn't care, it wasn't her who was lost, and it wasn't her who was embarrassed, what did she care about. After speaking, he continued to walk with his old ancestor in his arms.
Qiao Yun looked at Zhou Anzhi's figure and was fascinated, when did Zhou Anzhi have such plump wings? Unconsciously, isn't it even more threatening to Ruosu. She was thinking about her thoughts in her heart, but she didn't look at the strong hatred in Zhou Ruosu's eyes.
When Zhou Anzhi helped the old ancestor into the hall, he found that Zhou Haige and the second aunt were already sitting inside. patted the snow on the ancestor's body, and helped the ancestor to the stool before turning around.
The second aunt came over with a cup of hot tea, handed it to the ancestor with a smile, and said, "I came early with Haige, and I cooked tea, but my mother likes to taste it?" ”
Zhou Anzhi smiled, took off the fox fur on his body, took the tea handed over by Zhou Haige, lowered his head to smell the tea, felt the temperature in the palm of his hand from the teacup, and sighed that it was really cold outside.
Fang Zhirong motioned to Zhou Haige to bring tea to Qiao Yun and Zhou Ruosu, although he was not happy, he still obediently took the tea and sent it, "Auntie, second sister, warm up." Zhou Haige's voice was a little uncomfortable, he had not been close to them since he was a child, and now it is normal to look like this.
"Haige has a heart." Qiao Yun looked at the steaming tea on the table and smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. Zhou Haige said in his heart that if his mother hadn't let him go, he wouldn't have been so diligent.
"Sit down when you're all here, and ask someone to bring dinner." Zhou Lu strode in from outside the door, watched everyone speak, and after a few days, there was a faint vicissitudes in his voice.
Zhou An's eyebrows fell on Zhou Lu, otherwise people can't withstand the ravages of the years, no one can hide from it, I'm afraid that my father has something on his mind these days, right?
Zhou Lu's gaze collided with hers in the air, and they were fine.
Zhou Anzhi was pulled by the ancestor to sit beside him, although he was particular about the way he ate, but everyone saw that it was the old lady's meaning, so they naturally didn't dare to say anything, and even Zhou Lu just wanted to say something. Zhou Anzhi was struggling for a while, but he couldn't resist the old lady, so he sat down.
Fang Zhirong's personality is gentle, she was fine when she married into the Zhou family in the past, since her poor second son was gone, she stayed in the yard for many days, and she didn't leave the yard until something happened, and she also strictly disciplined Zhou Haige, so far the mother and son have not complained. The old ancestor looked at Fang Zhirong, and his eyes were a little more distressed, he had worked hard for her with a child for so many years.
Fang Zhirong was pulled by the ancestor to talk about family life without a word, telling her to have time to go out and walk often, Fang Zhirong agreed with a smile. From time to time, he also took Zhou Haige and Zhou Anzhi to chat, and several people were happy.
The dishes came up, and everyone turned their eyes to dinner, "Do you have any other suggestions for this year?" Zhou Lu didn't have time to think about these things, so he asked them, after all, Xiao Nian thought it would be good for women to be happy on such days.
No one spoke at the dinner table, and there was only the slight whisper of chopsticks and bowls clashing in the air. The old ancestor looked at it and broke the atmosphere, "The previous year's ones were very good, I don't think there is any need to change them, just follow the previous years." ”
"Fauber, just do what your mother says." Zhou Lu spoke, and said to Fu Bo while eating. Fu Bo blessed his body and answered.
"Father, today An Zhi and his second brother met other shops on the street and made trouble at the door of the Zhou family's rouge shop, saying that the amount of rouge given by the Zhou family's rouge shop was not enough." Zhou Anzhi said lightly, but there was a little anger in his eyes.
Zhou Lu was puzzled, and didn't know that such a thing had happened, "Is it solved?" How was it solved? Zhou Lu asked suspiciously, his eyes falling on Zhou Anzhi.
"Originally, the shop was unreasonable and deliberately looking for trouble, An Zhi asked Steward Ding to replace the high-grade rouge with a large number of inferior rouge, and drove them away. And on the street sold high-quality rouge at a low price. Zhou Anzhi remained silent and told the whole thing very honestly.
"Wouldn't it be too much for my sister to do this?" Zhou Ruosu said with a smile, and the crisp voice of the yellow warbler suddenly sounded. "I don't know what my sister is talking about?" Zhou Anzhi's face was full of sincerity and advice, but he was disdainful in his heart, and he wanted to count her down on everything, but today's Zhou Anzhi is no longer the previous Zhou Anzhi.
"If my sister does this, she will definitely anger that shop, if she doesn't cooperate with the Zhou family in the future, won't the Zhou family lose more than she gains?" Zhou Ruosu was full of words and absolute self-centeredness, and deliberately lowered the speed of speech, so that everyone could hear that she had done something wrong.
Zhou Anzhi glanced at the contemplative Zhou Lu, and only when Zhou Ruosu thought he had won a big victory did he explain, "The Zhou family connived at this shop, if it is a big deal, it will naturally not be a big problem, after all, the Zhou family has a big business." can be so connived, and other shops will do the same in the future, will the Zhou family's rouge shop have to endure everywhere, won't it lose a lot? Zhou Anzhi asked rhetorically and threw the question to Zhou Ruosu.
Zhou Ruosu was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect Zhou Anzhi to have another set.
"A young lady should still study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the house, it's good that you don't learn, let alone go out every day to show up and get in touch with business." Qiao Yun put down her chopsticks and reprimanded mercilessly in front of everyone, all of whom were dissatisfied with Zhou Anzhi.
Zhou Anzhi was puzzled, and was scolded again for doing so, although she was used to it on weekdays, this mother's words always made her angry again and again.
"What's wrong with exposure to business? As long as you do well, it doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman, An Zhi has such a mind is naturally a good direction. An Zhi did the right thing, and he really can't be connived at. Zhou Lu disagreed with Qiao Yun's words and glanced at her. turned to look at Zhou Anzhi with satisfaction, undisguised appreciation. He could see that Zhou Anzhi had changed, but he was more and more surprised, everything had her reasons for doing everything, and it was also beneficial and harmless to the Zhou Mansion.
Selling rouge in front of passers-by is nothing more than putting their integrity in front of everyone, I believe they must also know what the best quality is, and it also has certain benefits for the Zhou family's rouge shop, killing two birds with one stone.
"Uncle is right, there are women who are heroines, it is a good thing for the eldest sister to contact business, who said that women must learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the boudoir all day long." Zhou Haige was furious when he heard Qiao Yun finish speaking, he had never seen such a mother, he had never seen her praise the eldest sister once since he was a child, he really had to wonder if the eldest sister was born to her, more harsh than his stepmother.
Qiao Yun was not happy when she was refuted by Zhou Lu, but she didn't expect Zhou Haige to also come to hit the knife, "What do you know?" What good things can you do when you two get together, and what kind of insight can the rich kid who has stayed in the yard since he was a child grow. Qiao Yun reprimanded angrily, regardless of Fang Zhirong, sitting on the side, and venting his temper on Zhou Haige.
Zhou Haige was anxious and wanted to say something, but found that he was being dragged by his mother's sleeve, so he sat down and stopped talking. Zhou Anzhi watched Zhou Haige being scolded by Qiao Yun in order to protect himself, and felt a little uncomfortable, and opened his mouth to break the quiet atmosphere, "Grandmother, today the second brother gave An Zhi a dress, which is very beautiful, An Zhi thought that dancing must be very beautiful, and he will wear it and dance it to his grandmother one day." Grandmother is bored these days. Zhou Anzhi smiled playfully.
When she said this, the old lady felt that she had been a little bored recently, and she was reading scriptures and books all day long, but she was looking forward to it, "Grandmother's big girl, beautiful." The old ancestor smiled happily, very happy.
After chatting about some homely things, a dinner was spent in everyone's own thoughts, and Zhou Anzhi irritably led Yingge back to the plum courtyard It was getting dark.
Zhou Anzhi sat on the bed, didn't feel sleepy, simply put on his clothes and walked out, watching Velvet and Xiao Tao running around in the yard, he couldn't help but come up curiously, "Xiao Tao, Velvet, what are you two doing?" ”
Xiao Tao was startled by the sudden words, and Velvet looked at her with excitement, "Girl, the snow has been extraordinarily heavy these two days, I used to see children building snowmen when I was wandering, I like it very much, and now I want to try it myself." The velvety face was red from the cold, but he was still excitedly grasping the white snow on the ground with his hands.
