The old lady said that the wind is the rain, so she said that she wanted to find a suitable shop for Sang Xuanyue, so she called someone to find the steward.

Su Jin complained bitterly when she saw this, what is this called, I knew that she wouldn't say so much detail. Now it's good, the old lady wants to call the chief steward, then there are several of them in this shop. Now she can only hope that Uncle Dumb has found a suitable shop today, otherwise she will go home with this "good news", and she is afraid that she will not be able to explain it to the girl.

Su Jin's heart was as bitter as if she had eaten a yellow lotus, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so that the old lady could see her reluctance.

She felt that this errand was really difficult, next time she would definitely not come to the Hou Mansion, if the girl still wanted to send something to the old lady, next time she would change her heart.

As she thought so, the old lady asked what the little maid behind her was holding in her hand.

Su Jin looked back, and it turned out that the stupid girl was holding a flower pot, and she hadn't put it on the ground until now. This stupid girl, you don't want your arms anymore, do you?

Su Jin hurriedly walked over and took a handful, put the flower pot on the ground, and then glanced at the finch. The little girl is stupid, isn't she, she keeps holding the flower pot silently, and the weight is not pressing?

Su Jin opened the cardboard box on the top of the flower pot, and replied to the old lady and said, "It is the eighteenth bachelor of the pot, which was raised by our girl herself, and I know that you like it, so I specially asked me to send it to you." "It was windy today, and they were worried that the wind would break the branches, so they put a cardboard box on it.

After Su Jin explained, she pointed to the brocade box she put next to her and said, "The top box contains pastries, and the bottom box contains spring clothes." This is all done by the girl to honor you, you can see if you like it or not. ”

Before the box was opened, the old lady was overjoyed, saying "like" and "like" in a stack.

Her old man really liked it too, and her happy eyes were smiling.

Looking at the pot of fragrant eighteen bachelors, and looking at the clothes with fine stitches, the old lady's eyes are almost exhausted.

In the end, the old lady glued a piece of pastry from the box and tasted it, nodding her head and saying, "This osmanthus cake is moderately sweet, soft and delicious, the fragrance is pure, it looks good, and the craftsmanship of twisting the moon is really good." ”

When Su Jin heard this, he said: "The osmanthus is still the dried osmanthus of the previous year, and a few of us accompanied the girl to pick it near the Rose Garden." The girl said, I also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha today, I hope the old lady you have a good time. ”

"Happy, happy. The filial piety of this child is commendable, and when I think of her, my heart is happy. ”

The two talked for a while, and the big butler hurried over. The old lady ordered to find an empty shop, and the chief steward immediately reported three or five. Not only is the location good, the shop is also big, and there is a lot of traffic on the street. The old lady was very satisfied with what she heard, and asked Su Jin to turn around and tell Sang Xuanyue about the matter, and if she fell in love with that, she turned around and told her directly.

Su Jin smiled stiffly: "Thank you for the kindness of the old lady, but when I went out, Uncle Dumb had already gone out to find a shop." If you haven't found a good one, if you find it, make up your mind, I'm afraid it won't be good to break your promise. ”

The old lady said: "If you really find it and make up your mind, it doesn't matter, just give up those fixed money." "Wu Anhou's shops are all in good locations, and the old lady always feels that it is good to let Sang Xuanyue use her own shop. She can't afford not to collect the rent, so she will collect some symbolically.

Again, the most taboo in doing business, those who don't have to find fault with the little gangsters, and rent the shop of the Hou Mansion for a month, there must be no long-sighted people who dare to come over to find trouble, no matter how you look at it, it is only good for the pair of sisters and brothers.

Su Jin was preoccupied with things, and he had no intention of chatting with the old lady. In addition, someone suddenly came to visit, and the old lady wanted to prepare to meet the guests, so she asked Shuangli to send Su Jin out.

When she walked out of the door, Su Jin was still thinking about the purpose of her coming to the Hou Mansion today, so she turned around and said tentatively: "The imperial examination ended yesterday, and the third master also participated in the examination this time, right?" ”

Shuangli nodded, and said with palpitations: "No, I stayed in the Gongyuan for nine days, and when I came out, I lost a lot of weight." Yesterday, the old lady saw the third master and wiped her tears in distress. ”

"The conditions in the tribute courtyard are not good, and the third master was raised by a golden jade, and he has suffered a lot."

Speaking of the third master who participated in the examination, Su Jin asked again if there were many people in the Hou Mansion who participated in the examination.

Shuangli was dexterous and immediately glanced at Su Jin. She thought crookedly, and her thoughts drifted uncontrollably to the donor who had had an affair with Miss Sang before.

However, Shuangyu was quick to be clever and soon realized that something was wrong.

If Miss Sang was really interested in the donor, she had married earlier, so why would Su Jin come over to ask about the temptation at this time?

Shuang Li stopped, looked directly at Su Jin and asked, "If you want to know anything, you can ask me directly." If I can tell you, I will tell you. "It's just to repay Miss Sang's earlier friendship.

Su Jin was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Let's just say, why did the old lady let the double carp send her? As another little maid, she could easily get the information she wanted to know.

But Shuang Carp is serving in the body of an old lady, with a smart mind and a quick mind, and is also good at being obedient and listening. She wanted to find out something, and as soon as she said something, Shuangyu would notice her intentions.

Fortunately, Shuang Li is a tight-mouthed person and has a good character, Su Jin thought about it, but he leaned into Shuang Li's ear and asked a few words softly.

When the words fell, Su Jin looked at Shuangli's surprised appearance, and said with a wry smile: "You also know that our girl has lived in her uncle's house since she was a child, and she is a little afraid of her uncle and aunt......

I wanted to say something more, but Su Jin sighed and stopped talking.

However, they all kept it to themselves, and Shuangli was well-informed in his heart, thinking that Miss Sang and the third lady were not in harmony, and it was also necessary to be wary of the Zhou family.

But Zhou Bingkun......

Shuangli said: "Don't you say that I forgot, the second uncle of the Zhou family came to live in the house last time, but he returned to his hometown after he failed the list, and he has not shown up so far." ”

Shuangli said again: "You reminded me, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of this." The second uncle of the Zhou family should continue to participate in this year's examination, but he has not come to the Hou Mansion so far, could it be that something happened on the road? ”

Su Jin asked repeatedly, "Did you really not come to the Hou Mansion?" ”

"Nope. If so, I wouldn't be unaware. ”

That's just as well.

But if that's the case, it's a big problem.

Either Zhou Bingkun didn't come to take the exam this year - this possibility is very small, almost the same as nothing. Otherwise, there was some accident on the road, and now there is no news; Otherwise, Zhou Bingkun went to Beijing, but he didn't live in the Hou Mansion, but went elsewhere......

Shuangli frowned, "I have to talk to the old lady about this." ”

"Huh?" Su Jin was a little unhappy.

Shuangli said: "It is related to the life of the second uncle of the Zhou family, and this matter must be known to the old lady." If the second uncle of the Zhou family lives elsewhere, it is fine, if there is an accident on the road, this is a human life, since I know about it, there is absolutely no reason not to tell the old lady. ”

“…… Let's talk about it. But if possible, can you not mention me and my girl? Did you just think of it out of the blue? Do you think it's okay? ”

"Yes, yes." Shuangli smiled bitterly, "It's just that the old lady is afraid that she won't believe it." I'm going out to see you off, and I'll tell the old lady about it when I turn around, the old lady is just old, and it's not ...... "It's not stupid, the old lady will believe that there are ghosts."

But even if the old lady guessed the truth, it would be nothing. After all, the Zhou family and Sang Twisting Moon have grievances, and the old lady likes Sang Twisting Moon and happily protects her.

The two agreed on the matter for a while, and they parted at the door. One went back to the house, and the other went to the backyard.

When the old lady heard Shuangli mention this matter, she immediately knew who was concerned about this issue. It is indeed as Shuangli thought, the old lady opened one eye and closed one eye, not at all curious about what Sang Xuanyue was doing to inquire about this. She just immediately called the steward again to ask people to check what the Huizhou lifters of this year's scientific expedition were.

If Zhou Bingkun is in the list, forget it, he is not happy to come to the Hou Mansion, and no one will force him. But if he didn't enter Beijing, then he would have to ask people to inquire in the direction of Huizhou, but don't let people disappear halfway.

As soon as the old lady gave the order, the guests also came to the door.

Busy chattering, soon evening came.

Shen Tinglan had dinner at the old lady's place yesterday, and when he returned to the courtyard, he fell asleep. As a result, I slept until dusk today, and saw that it was time for dinner, so I packed up and came to my mother's yard.

The old lady and Shen Tinglan were chatting while waiting for Shen Tingjun, who returned late, and when it came to Zhou Bingkun, Shen Tinglan couldn't help frowning, he also forgot about this brother-in-law to the clouds.

It was also too exciting for Zhou Baolu to make a fuss before the scientific examination, and he had no time to take care of him, so he was in a lawsuit all day long. He can't even take care of himself, so he still has the leisure to care about a brother-in-law?

However, since the old lady asked, Shen Tinglan also had to recall it carefully, and then said: "I really didn't see the second brother in the Gongyuan. Didn't he enter Beijing at all? ”

"Who knows? However, I have already asked people to check the Huizhou Juzi who entered Beijing to take the exam this year, and I think there will be news soon. ”

Shen Tinglan let out an absent-minded "um", and the expression on his face was cold. At this time, he looked inexplicably similar to Shen Tingjun, both of them looked like they were about to escape into the empty door, and the old lady who looked at him only sighed in her heart.

The old lady said: "If Bingkun's child enters Beijing, you can go back and talk to him about the Zhou family." Zhou's improper upbringing is the fault of the Zhou family's parents. Although you sent her to the family temple, this is the punishment she deserves. Talk things about it and try not to get into big trouble. ”

Shen Tinglan responded in a hoarse voice, "Okay", hesitated for a long time, and then said slowly: "I know what to do, don't worry about me." ”

The mother and son said without saying a word, and finally when the mother and son were ready to have dinner, Shen Tingjun was late.

The old lady at the table naturally told her eldest son about this again, and Shen Tingjun had no other emotions on his face, but he couldn't help but think of Sang Xuanyue in his heart.

This should have something to do with her.

After the meal, the butler who had gone outside to inquire about the matter finally returned.

The mother and son met the housekeeper together, and the housekeeper's reply was really unexpected by everyone.

"Among the people who went to Beijing to take the exam this year, there was the second uncle of the Zhou family. He is currently staying in the champion building in the east of the city, and the old slave specially took someone over to see it, and confirmed that it was the second master of the Zhou family, so he came back to restore his life. ”

After the housekeeper went down, the old lady and Shen Tingjun looked at Shen Tinglan together. Seeing Shen Tinglan's face, he said: "Mother, eldest brother, I'll go to the Zhuangyuan Building to meet the second brother." Baolu's affairs can't be hidden, and I will tell her mother's family what she should know. The second brother is not an unreasonable person, I have told the truth, and the Zhou family should not be annoyed. ”

After Shen Tinglan left, the old lady became annoyed, "Is her Zhou family's face annoyed?" The good daughter raised by their family almost ruined the innocence of others. The son is not the fault of the father, the Zhou family did not raise the daughter well, and our in-laws are not allowed to punish the big admonitions. ”

Shen Tingjun handed a cup of diet tea to his mother, "It's not worth it for you to be angry for the Zhou family." ”

The old lady was still very angry: "San Lang is too kind-hearted, this matter is obviously Zhou Baolu's, and he is also implicated." Now it's a good thing, he still wants to compensate the Zhou family. ”

"San Lang didn't say that he wanted to pay compensation, but he just said that he wanted to make this matter clear to the Zhou family."

"That's pretty much what it means." The old lady was still dissatisfied, and urged Shen Tingjun to say, "Da Lang, you go too." Go and call the child of the Zhou family over, I told him about this matter in person, and I saw that his Zhou family was ashamed or not. ”

Shen Tingjun knew that this was just his mother's momentary mood, and he didn't persuade or make peace, just listened to his mother's chatter and accompanied her patiently.

The old lady vented this, came back to reason, and sighed again and said: "I don't think the rest of the Zhou family is very good, and Zhou Bingkun, this child, looks a little honest and dull, but his mind is not bad." San Lang went to reason with him, it should be able to make sense. I was afraid that Bingkun's child would be too wooden, and he would turn around and relay the matter and then attract the blame of the Zhou family and his wife. Alas, how can a good child be reincarnated in such a family. ”

The old lady was chattering, but Shen Tingjun focused his eyes on the camellia in full bloom in the corner of the room.

Shen Tingjun said suddenly, "Mother, is it okay to give me this camellia?" ”

"Do you like camellias, too?" The old lady followed her son's gaze to the camellia. The petals of this camellia are double, rich in color, and elegant and delicate in shape. To be honest, the old lady also likes this camellia very much, and she showed off to the guests today.

But it's rare for her son to ask for something, and she can't refute her son's face.

Therefore, even if the old lady was reluctant, she couldn't bear to cut her love and gave the camellia to her son.

But seeing that her son asked her to remove the camellia, the old lady's heart hurt like blood.

Her good husband used to be the most considerate of her mother's thoughts. Now she is reluctant to give up to this extent, but Da Lang didn't say anything.

She thought that this would make Da Lang soften his heart and leave the camellia for her. As a result, it was really in vain.
