Chapter XXIV, Number
Zhou's yard is planted with only a few wolfberry trees, which is lush and green.
The earth under the trees was covered with a layer of cobblestones, and only a path was made out of stone slabs.
Zhou's personal maid Yun Qi stood in the middle of the path, saw Su Zhixi coming, and said respectfully, "I didn't know that the second girl came so quickly." ”
Su Zhixi smiled slightly, "Don't dare to make grandmother wait for a long time." ”
Yun Qi smiled, turned around and led Su Zhixi in front.
Su Zhixi had no impression of Zhou's residence at all, and in her previous life, Zhou treated her very badly because of her notoriety, so she didn't say that she was asked to come over to talk.
Even if she went to ask for peace on the festival day, Zhou was lazy to take care of her, and sent her away after a perfunctory sentence.
It's like I'm upset when I look at it more.
Entering the door is a conservatory, planted with a lot of flowers and plants.
At first glance, it looks vibrant, but the summer is boring, and the lush flowers and plants occupy the space of the house and are not breathable.
It only makes people more irritated.
Further inside, is Zhou's guest room.
Zhou sat at the main table, and four wooden tables and futons were placed on both sides of the room for people to sit in.
Su Zhixi saw the Zhou family, bowed his hand, and said respectfully, "Please grandmother." ”
Zhou's eyelids were closed, the corners of his mouth moved, and he replied calmly, "Sit down." ”
Su Zhixi walked to the very end of the position, but was stopped by Yun Qi.
Yun Qi said, "Ah Lang is not here, the second girl only sits in front of her, so that she can talk to her master." ”
Su Zhixi sat down in the direction she had guided.
After taking a seat, Yun Qi ordered someone to serve Su Zhixi a few plates of pastries and a pot of flower tea, and then withdrew the rough maid in the house, leaving her and the handmaid trusted by the Zhou family to serve in it.
When the others dispersed, Zhou Shi spoke, "The second girl is thirteen this year, right?" ”
Su Zhixi whispered back, "Yes." ”
Zhou nodded, as if he asked casually, "In two years, I will have to meet Xuan, but there is someone you like?" ”
Su Zhixi replied, "Back to my grandmother's words." I used to have a favorite person, but unfortunately it was my wishful thinking. A few days ago, I also found an opportunity to talk to him clearly. For a while... There is no one who wants it. ”
Su Zhixi's love for Pei Zhihan is known to everyone in the mansion.
It's just that this kind of liking is Su Zhixi's unilateral humility and perfection, so the Su family is always embarrassed when facing the Pei family.
Although Su Zhixi is not the daughter of the Su family, she is still the daughter of the Su family in the end, and her words and deeds also represent the face of the Su family.
Zhou was still thinking about persuading Su Zhixi today, asking her not to do anything harmful to the family style again.
But he didn't want to, Su Zhixi himself first saw through the relationship between the two.
There was a smile in Zhou's eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Good, good, good."
After saying hello a few times, she waved her hand and ordered Yunqi to take out a wooden box from the back room.
Yun Qi opened the lid of the box, put the box in front of Su Zhixi's table, smiled at Su Zhixi with relief, and retreated.
Su Zhixi stretched out his head and saw that there was a white hosta in the box.
Zhou opened his mouth and said, "This white jade pear hairpin is my dowry when I got married. When I was young, I also liked it tightly, but when I got older, I couldn't make such a plain hosta. This thing is like that, and after a while, no matter how good it is, you can only look at it. ”
Su Zhixi picked up the hairpin and looked at it carefully.
This white jade tentacles are warm, and it should be the best in jade.
"My granddaughter has heard someone compose a poem, and the first sentence in it is that there are flowers that can be broken and must be broken, and there are no flowers and empty branches."
Zhou smiled when he heard this.
said, "In the past, you were most annoyed by these poems, but now you come with your mouth open." ”
Su Zhixi said, "In the past, I was careless, I always lived in my own dreams, I never thought about planning for the future, and I was also willful and reckless in dealing with people, and I was often laughed at outside and didn't know it." ”
Saying that, she looked at Zhou's and said with a shy smile, "Later, when someone woke up, I realized the absurdity of my behavior. ”
Zhou probably knew the meaning of Su Zhixi's words, so he didn't listen carefully.
He looked tired, but his eyes were shining.
What she was thinking about in her mind was whether this girl in the second room was worth her time to cultivate.
She looks at Su Zhixi from the perspective of a woman.
Su Zhixi's beauty is not subtle, it is the kind of beauty that makes people can't take their eyes off it.
Just like at this time, she sat quietly, with her back to the light, her neck was slender and white, and her small pink earlobes could hook people's souls.
Yun Qi saw that Zhou didn't answer, so he picked up the nice words and responded to Su Zhixi.
Su Zhixi was not depressed, and chatted with Yun Qi calmly.
When the two of them said about the same, Zhou said unhurriedly, "There is a way to make amends, it's not too late." You are born well, as long as your temperament is not as frivolous as before, you will be blessed in the future. ”
Su Zhixi didn't dare to slack off and replied, "Oh, grandmother's teachings, Xi'er remember." ”
After talking for a while, Zhou's body was tired, and Su Zhixi got up to say goodbye.
After going back, he ordered Gunuo to put the hosta rewarded by the Zhou family.
The words are divided into two ends.
Cheng En has never dared to show up in front of her because of stealing Su Zhixi's jewelry.
In addition, the things in the pharmacy are trivial, and in recent days, they have been going out early and returning late.
After taking stock of the pharmacy today, I heard from the medicine farmer that there was a place selling Prunella vulgaris at a low price, so he hurriedly asked the man to go to the account office to pay the money and buy Prunella vulgaris in large quantities.
The guy complained, "Miss Gunuo, it's the third time I've bought that medicine, and the first few times I bought it was still in the storehouse and covered with ashes." What does the main house mean? ”
Gunuo is also on errands, and he is anxious about the ransom of Su Zhixi's jewelry.
Hearing the man's complaint, he replied angrily, "If you are told to do it, you will do it, you will do things with your salary, and what will be done in charge of the master's mind." ”
After saying that, he walked out with a grimace.
Coincidentally, today is the day when the doctors of Chen Kee Medical Center come to collect commissions according to the routine, and as soon as Gunuo walked out of the door, he took a look at the doctor who came to receive the money.
Liu Zhiyuan saw that Gu Nuo's face was not good, and asked, "Who is this angry girl with?" ”
Gu Nuo was holding back things in his heart, and when he went out, he lowered his head and didn't look at anyone, and he stopped when he heard Liu Zhiyuan's voice.
When he looked up, he saw that Liu Zhiyuan, the doctor of Chen Ji Medical Center, hurriedly put on a smile and asked enthusiastically, "Why is Dr. Liu here?" ”
Liu Zhiyuan raised his hand and shook the medicine list in his hand, and said, "Come here to run errands for the master's family." ”
Gunuo hurriedly said, "You can just let the guys or doctors below come to this trivial matter, and if you don't have a good time, you can pass a message, and I will send you the accounts here." How dare you bother to make this trip? ”
Liu Zhiyuan waved his hand and sighed, "Now that the business of the medical hall is cold, there is no work to go out, so it is not in the way." ”
Gunuo was originally polite, but when he saw that Liu Zhiyuan had said this, he didn't say anything further.
Raised his hand to make a gesture of false invitation, and said, "Jiahuifang is far away from you, and it will take half an hour to return." I'll take you to the account room, settle the account, have a glass of wine, and then leave. lest the Lord know about it, and blame me for not being polite. ”
Liu Zhiyuan clasped his hands together and replied knowingly, "There is Miss Lao." ”
Guno took Liu Zhiyuan and received three hundred dollars at the account office.
Then I found a tavern with good quality and low price, asked for a pot of green wine, ordered two side dishes, and accompanied Liu Zhiyuan to have a few drinks.
