Chapter Ninety-Five: The Zhou Family's Abacus
The maid was stunned: "Miss? How could the eldest lady write to the old lady? ”
Old Madam Sheng just looked down at the letter. She looked very slowly, slowly, for a small half hour. The maid on the side naturally didn't dare to urge.
After a long time, Mrs. Sheng closed the letter with a meaningful smile on her face: "There is a girl in my family who has just grown up." ”
The maid felt strange in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask again.
……
The news that Sheng Rujin was rewarded by Empress Chen arrived at Zhou's house.
Mrs. Zhou Yao said to Zhou Cong: "It seems that the little sister can't control her rooms." ”
Zhou Congzhi frowned: "The queen mother has always been committed to the women's reading atmosphere in the Zhou Dynasty, and it is not strange to reward one or two female disciples. Besides, it was recommended by her mentor, Mr. Borong, who didn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. It won't work if you don't commend it. ”
"For this little thing, you judge that the little sister can't suppress the few concubines in the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion, and you can't help but underestimate the little sister's means."
Zhou Yao's family never had much of an idea, so he smiled: "The concubine is just worried." ”
Zhou Congzhi glanced at her disdainfully: "What do you do all day worrying about other people's affairs?" If you have time to worry about your daughter's marriage. She is now unsuccessful, although she is beautiful, but she has to start worrying about her family. ”
Speaking of his baby daughter, Zhou Yao's face tightened.
"Isn't it autumn that you can let her study at the Mingde Women's Club? That's a great thing. When the time comes, Jin'er's identity will rise, and she will not worry about having no good relatives. ”
Zhou Congzhi nodded: "Jin'er is not too worried about getting married." After all, my Zhou family is here. But ......"
He frowned: "But I said earlier that I was going to marry Hou Shizi Xie Chengxiu, why don't you mention this matter now?" ”
As soon as he mentioned this, Zhou Yao's face was full of embarrassment.
She said, "It's not the birthday banquet yet. Most of the capital knows about it. Since Jin'er was frightened by the wolf that time, she has been sick until the first two days. ”
"The tone of the concubine who went to visit the Hou Mansion seemed to be...... Mrs. Hou doesn't seem to mention it much. ”
Zhou Cong's heart jumped: "Could it be that the mighty Marquis Mansion doesn't look down on Jin'er?" ”
Zhou Yao was taken aback: "How is it possible?" has always been a verbal joke, saying that our two families are families and in-laws, and it is best to be close to each other. I've been talking about it for more than ten years, and now it's suddenly changed? ”
Zhou Congzhi was frowning and pacing. He said in a deep voice: "Everything is not ironclad, and it is possible to change the hexagram. Could it be that there are some bad rumors at the birthday banquet that have spread to the mansion of the Marquis of Weiwu? Did the mighty Marquis start to think about this matter? ”
Zhou Yao hurriedly summoned a few maids close to him, and after a sharp question, one of the maids trembled.
"General, don't be angry, Madam. In fact...... Actually, it's nothing. Even in the days when the eldest lady was sick, there were rumors...... Rumors say that the eldest lady has lost her mind...... Others said that the eldest lady wanted to deliberately rectify the eldest lady of the Sheng family, but she was planted in it......"
Zhou Congzhi and Zhou Yaoshi almost lost their breath when they heard it.
Is this still called nothing?
It's just too much, okay?!
Just imagine, the Weiwu Marquis Mansion is a noble family, and the most important thing is the character and reputation of the uninitiated daughter-in-law.
Zhou Xiajin's rectification of Sheng Rujin spread like this, what did the Weiwu Marquis Mansion think? Also, Zhou Xiajin was just scared out of his illness, and he wasn't really crazy, but the rumors were in front of him, and the Weiwu Marquis Mansion didn't dare to make a conclusion easily.
No wonder Zhou Yao went to listen to the tone, and the other party reacted coldly.
Zhou Congzhi was so angry that he scolded Zhou Yao's family: "It's all because you are used to being lawless, what do you do if you have nothing to provoke that aunt?" But the left and right are lowly statuses, how can they be compared with our Jin'er? ”
"It's okay now, fix her, and take more than half of our Jin'er in. Now if you want the Hou Mansion to change your opinion of our Jin'er, it will take a lot of effort. ”
Zhou Yao was unconvinced, wiped his tears and said, "What is this saying, master?" Don't you also have a copy of the brocade you spoil on weekdays? Now it's pushed to the concubine. Also, don't look down on the ghost girl Sheng Rujin. She is now a close disciple of Mr. Borong and a fellow student of the queen's commendation. ”
"Oh, she also has to report to the Mingde Women's Club in the autumn together. Master, the concubine also heard that Hou Shizi seemed to be a little interesting to her, as if he was going to a private school to escort her...... If it weren't for something, Jin'er would not have easily targeted that ghost girl. ”
The more Zhou Congzhi listened, the more frowning he became.
He really hadn't thought about these things. I didn't expect Sheng Rujin to be so powerful quietly?
There is a kind of obviously looking at the neighbor's family is still a low-level elementary school scumbag, and suddenly after a year, he has become what he calls "someone else's child".
Zhou Congzhi felt vaguely uncomfortable in his heart. But he didn't care about such trivial things. In the capital, the Zhou family has a much deeper foundation than the Sheng family.
Otherwise, Sheng Yuming, who had just been admitted to the top prize, would not have married his sister Zhou knowing that there was a problem with the death of his original partner.
Sheng Rujin's sudden prominence was not enough to pose a threat to someone like him. It's just some little things that make his daughter Zhou Xiajin not so good.
Zhou Congzhi said to Zhou Yao's: "No matter what, you should have no such thing." Let Jin'er go to school in a private school when she is well, work diligently every day, and prepare to go to Mingde Women's Club in the fall. ”
"As long as Jin'er goes to the Mingde Women's Club and gets the queen's commendation, her family affairs will be no different. Moreover...... is just a son of the Hou Mansion, Jin'er's identity is more than enough to match the prince! What are you afraid of! This is something that the hell girl can't think of in her life. ”
Zhou Yao's eyes lit up: "What does the master mean?" ”
Zhou Congzhi squinted at her: "Don't you understand what I mean?" You must know that the Mingde Women's Club is to choose a princess who is friendly with Qin, and Jin'er will definitely not be selected to be peaceful. The remaining emperors and queens may match concubines for those newly grown princes. What do you think of our Jin'er's appearance and family background, what kind of princess can also think about it......"
Zhou Yao's eyes glowed.
Princess!
Then she will be the princess's mother-in-law in the future! This is much more majestic than Hou Shizi's mother-in-law.
Zhou Congzhi said a few more words, and Zhou Yao agreed. In her eyes, the indifference of the Mighty Marquis Mansion was not a matter at all.
……
Sheng Rujin went to the bamboo house. found that Queen Chen really rewarded Mr. Borong a lot. Half of the room was full.
Sheng Rujin told Mr. Borong about his reward.
Mr. Borong smiled slightly: "Do you lack that reward?" ”
Sheng Rujin shook his head: "There is nothing lacking in the house." ”
"Isn't that the end of it? What you want most is the Shangmingde Women's Society, and the queen mother gave it to you. Don't worry too much about the rest. Mr. Borong said lightly.
