Chapter 4 is terrifying
The Zhou family's rouge is all over the south of the Yangtze River, and the Zhou family's business reached its peak after Zhou Lu took over, and even sold overseas, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Zhou family's property can be as much as half of the imperial treasury. However, if the name of the Zhou family's rich rival country spreads to Kyoto, it will definitely be targeted; Just like her title of the daughter of the Zhou family, it is a deliberate performance in the eyes of those who have a heart. A smart person will not let others think he is smart, Zhou Anzhi must stabilize his footing and work step by step in this life.
After Zhou Anzhi finished currying favor with Zhou Lu, there is one more person to please, that is, the old grandmother. The old grandmother always stayed in the room to recite the scriptures devoutly to the Buddha, and Zhou Anzhi prepared a hand-copied scripture book to the old grandmother's courtyard. She sincerely knelt in front of her grandmother and gave her the scriptures with both hands. Mama Lin, who was beside the old grandmother, took it, and the old grandmother slowly opened her eyes.
"The granddaughter got into trouble at the old grandmother's birthday banquet, and sincerely copied the scriptures to ask the old grandmother for her guilt." In the past, the old grandmother didn't like Zhou Anzhi very much, and every time she saw Zhou Anzhi dressed in gorgeous clothes, she was very disliked. The old grandmother and the deceased grandfather founded the Zhou family rouge business and have always been frugal. Zhou Anzhi remembered that in the previous life, Zhou Ruosu was very popular with the old grandmother, because every time she appeared in front of the old grandmother, she dressed simply and unassumingly, even if she went out and wore luxurious clothes, she would change her clothes when she returned to the Zhou Mansion to visit the old grandmother.
The old grandmother closed her eyes again, regardless of whether Zhou Anzhi was still kneeling on the ground, Zhou Anzhi was not in a hurry, she could kneel until the old grandmother opened her mouth and told her to get up. Another reason why the old grandmother likes Zhou Ruosu is because Zhou Ruosu doesn't like to be in the limelight, Zhou Lu has three daughters and one son, and Zhou Ruosu even dresses in front of the old grandmother is simpler than Zhou Ningning. She didn't want to be pleasing in front of her grandmother, but to highlight others, so it seemed that Zhou Ruosu's mind was really terrifying.
Mama Lin, who was standing on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and whispered to the old grandmother's ear: "Old lady, the eldest lady has been kneeling for a long time. After hearing this, the old grandmother took a deep breath, opened her eyes and said to Zhou Anzhi angrily, "Get up." Xiao Tao hurriedly helped Zhou Anzhi up, and after kneeling for too long, Zhou Anzhi was a little dizzy after getting up, and Mama Lin was a little unbearable in her eyes.
"Old Grandmother Xie, An Zhi really knows that he is wrong." Zhou Anzhi lowered his head and said very obediently.
At this time, Zhou Ruosu walked into the old grandmother's house with the maid, and the maid held a calligraphy and painting in her hand, thinking that Zhou Ruosu wanted to give it to the old grandmother to please her. Zhou Ruosu was wearing a warm yellow brocade long skirt and a bright white coat that looked very elegant. After she saw Zhou An standing in front of her grandmother, her originally elated expression instantly turned cold.
"Ruosu has seen her grandmother and sister." Zhou Ruosu looked at the luggage of the old grandmother and Zhou Anzhi decently, and the old grandmother waved her hand to get up. Zhou Anzhi knelt down and she ignored it, Zhou Ruosu just saluted the old grandmother and was so kind, I really don't know what ecstasy soup Zhou Ruosu poured into the old grandmother, both of them were born to Qiao Yun and Zhou Lu, Qiao Yun and the old grandmother are not as good as Zhou Ruosu.
"Old grandmother, yesterday was your birthday, and today Ruosu specially drew another birthday picture, and I sent it to you as soon as I finished drawing." Saying that, Zhou Ruosu instructed the maid to open the painting, and in the painting, a birthday star with a big forehead and a white beard was holding a big longevity peach with a smile on his face, surrounded by cranes and Jinsong, all of which represented longevity. Zhou Anzhi looked at her paintings, and snorted coldly in her heart, Zhou Ruosu She still knows very well, how could she paint such a painting, she must have invited some gentleman to ghostwrite for her.
If it was herself in the previous life, Zhou Anzhi would definitely point out that this painting was not painted by herself when she saw Zhou Ruosu's painting, and then Zhou Ruosu pretended to be pitiful, and others would definitely not believe her words. Zhou Anzhi looked at the painting and praised: "My sister's painting skills have improved again." She walked up to the painting and carefully looked at the details of the painting, the ink stains had already dried, as she said she had just finished painting.
Zhou Ruosu wanted to stop Zhou Anzhi from approaching the painting, but the two of them were taught by a gentleman invited by Qiao Yun, and she also knew that Zhou Anzhi knew her painting skills. But Zhou Anzhi did not expose her hypocrisy, Zhou Ruosu breathed a sigh of relief, and tried to pull out a smile: "Thank you sister for complimenting, but wasn't my sister punished by her father for confinement, why did she go out today?" After speaking, he looked at Zhou Anzhi provocatively, wanting to see how she confronted her in front of her grandmother.
Zhou Anzhi saw through what she meant, Zhou Ruosu just wanted to poke at her pain points and make her angry. The gap between her and Zhou Ruosu is that she is like a star holding the moon, so she doesn't take anyone or anything in her eyes, Zhou Ruosu knows this very well, just to provoke her to see her ugly, but she doesn't.
"I know that I was wrong for what happened yesterday, and I'm sorry to blame my sister for it. I had just finished pleading with my father and came to apologize to my grandmother, but I should have to go to my sister's courtyard to apologize another day. After Zhou Anzhi finished speaking, Zhou Ruosu's jaw was about to fall, is this still the aggressive Zhou Anzhi she knew?
Zhou Ruosu cleared her throat and continued: "Why is my sister dressed so elegantly today? It's a lot different from what it used to be. Zhou Ruosu's words mean that Zhou Anzhi is dressed elegantly, and she is not as good-looking as before, if she used to hear it, she would definitely go back and insert all kinds of headgear into her hair bun again, she used to believe in her sister's words too much.
Zhou Anzhi smiled lightly: "What did my sister say, meaning that it is much uglier than before?" Is my appearance made up of all those jewels? Although we are merchants, I think that the money is earned by my father's hard work, and I should not have been so ostentatious in the past. However, yesterday was my grandmother's birthday, and today my sister is wearing plain white clothes, which is really inappropriate......"
After Zhou Anzhi finished speaking, Zhou Ruosu didn't know how to refute, the last thing Zhou Anzhi knew in the past was the way to speak, why was she suddenly blocked and didn't know what to say. The old grandmother asked Mama Lin to take the painting from Jia'er's hand, and she looked at the two people in front of her, Zhou Anzhi and Zhou Ruosu, the same mother and father, one year apart, but their personalities are thousands of miles apart. Although Zhou Anzhi is smart but too flamboyant, Zhou Ruosu is a little wooden and can do things calmly, compared with the two, they naturally like Zhou Ruosu a little.
"Okay, okay, An Zhi is right, if you are dressed too plain today, not to mention joy, you don't even have a little bit of agility in your daughter's house." The old grandmother spoke slowly, but she became acquainted with Zhou Ruosu today because of Zhou Anzhi's acquaintance, Zhou Ruosu was dissatisfied in her heart, she looked at Zhou Anzhi with a smile, but she wanted to stab Zhou Anzhi to death with a knife in her heart.
