Move by yourself!
Zhou Shaojin opened her eyes wide and saw that Ji Ying was talking to the man opposite her. She couldn't help but look at the man.
The man was wearing a brown Lu silk robe. He was about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, tall, with fair skin. His facial features were about 60% similar to Qin Zi'an. He smiled without speaking. He was not only more elegant and handsome than Qin Zi'an, but also more amiable.
Could he be the Qin Ziping that Jiying often mentioned
Zhou Shaojin guessed.
The man looked towards Zhou Shaojin as if he sensed her coming.
The two people's eyes met.
Zhou Shaojin was caught looking at others in such a careless manner. His face turned red and he nodded towards the man and smiled shyly.
The man was slightly stunned. Just as he was about to say something, Ji Ying came over happily: "Second Miss, why are you here? Why didn't you let the maid come over to say hello in advance? My place is a mess..." As she spoke, she frowned and said to the man in brown clothes very impolitely, "Qin Ziping, go find me some tea. I just moved and I don't know where I put the tea leaves."
Qin Ziping said "Oh" and left obediently.
Ji Ying pulled Zhou Shaojin into the room to sit down.
When passing by the hall, Zhou Shaojin saw two maids helping to pack up.
She asked, "What's going on? Moving is such a big thing, how can you only arrange these few people to help? From your tone, this is Uncle Chi's intention. Has Uncle Chi made up his mind not to add anyone? If not, I will let the people from Wanxiangju come to help you move. It's not a big deal, there's no need to get angry."
Ji Ying was obviously very troubled by this matter. She felt relieved and took Zhou Shaojin's hand and said, "Oh, it's a good thing you are here. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do. I'll ask Qin Ziping when he comes - if we don't let you hire people from outside, it's okay to use your Cheng family's maids, right? If you can't trust these people, I have no choice. I can only move a little today and a little tomorrow. I don't care what he says."
Zhou Shaojin smiled and nodded.
Qin Ziping came over. He not only brought tea, but also brought celadon tea sets.
Zhou Shaojin invited Qin Ziping to have tea.
But before Qin Liaoping could speak, Ji Ying said, "How can he have time to drink tea? Your uncle Chi wants us to move everything to Lixuezhai before the 22nd. My place is fine. Apart from the sword, there is nothing valuable. If it is smashed, it is smashed. If it is stolen, it is stolen. But Nanping's place is terrible. Besides the flower shed, there are also clothing cases, Ming paper, painting powder, odds and ends of cloth... There are all kinds of things. There are 20 to 30 boxes and cages alone. He has to help Nanping move things."
Zhou Shaojin smiled and said, "Then we won't keep you here."
Qin Ziping glanced at Jiying, bowed and left.
Zhou Shaojin asked: "Manager Qin, are you angry?"
"Angry?" Ji Ying said in confusion, "Why should he be angry?" After saying that, she suddenly realized, "Could it be that I ordered him in front of you just now, so he is angry? No... I used to order him in front of Nanping or Uncle Huaishan, and he didn't get angry..." She couldn't think of it, so she simply stopped thinking about it and said, "Let's ignore him, he's a good person. Even if he is angry, I guess he will calm down soon." Then she personally made a cup of tea for Zhou Shaojin and said, "Why did you come to see me? Is there something urgent?"
"It's not an urgent matter..." Cheng Yi was his cousin after all, Zhou Shaojin felt a little embarrassed and said, "Didn't I invite you and cousin Jia to drink Laba porridge on the day of Laba Festival? Cousin Yi was also there at that time..."
She hesitantly told Jiying what had happened.
Ji Ying was like being hit on the head by a stone, and didn't react for a long time. When he finally reacted, he jumped up in anger: "You bastard, how can he think I look like Cheng Zichuan's concubine?" As he said that, he turned around and was about to take the sword hanging on the wall to protect the house.
Zhou Shaojin was so scared that his face turned pale.
If Ji Ying rushed over like this with a sword in hand, he would probably not survive even with Uncle Chi protecting him!
If she accidentally hurt Cheng Yi... she and her sister would not be able to face their grandmother and aunt.
Zhou Shaojin hugged Jiying's waist without thinking and said hurriedly: "Jiying, I know that my cousin was wrong in this matter, but please don't bother with him for my sake. My grandmother and aunt are not the kind of people who bully the weak. As long as you don't want to, they will definitely not force you to follow my cousin, you can rest assured..."
Ji Ying twisted her waist and Zhou Shaojin was left empty-handed.
Zhou Shaojin was stunned.
Ji Ying had turned around and said with a smile: "I'm going to find Cheng Zichuan! Not to find your cousin!"
Hearing this, Zhou Shaojin didn't bother to find out how Jiying twisted around and easily broke free from his arms, and hurriedly said, "You, you're not going to look for cousin Yi!"
"Yes!" Ji Ying looked at Zhou Shaojin speechlessly and said, "Why would I go to him? Just as you said, your grandmother and your aunt are not the kind of people who bully the weak. As long as I don't want them to, they will definitely not let Cheng Yi do anything wrong. I blame your uncle Chi... If it weren't for him, how come everyone thought I was his concubine!"
Zhou Shaojin thought her idea was strange.
Shouldn't she be trying to find a way to clarify things with her grandmother and aunt at this time
Why are you so obsessed with settling accounts with Uncle Chi
Besides, what does this have to do with Uncle Chi
It was cousin Yi who took a fancy to her, and it was cousin Yi who thought she was Uncle Chi's concubine... Could it be that all the things that happened over the years were blamed on Uncle Chi
"I don't know what happened in the past, but you have wrongly blamed Uncle Chi for this time." Zhou Shaojin said, "If Uncle Chi said or did something in front of my cousin Yi, and my cousin Yi misunderstood that you were Uncle Chi's concubine, then it was Uncle Chi who was wrong. But my cousin Yi rarely sees Uncle Chi all year round, and he just took it for granted. How can you blame Uncle Chi! I thought of an idea on the way here, I wonder if you agree? If you agree, I will go and tell my cousin Yi. If you don't agree, I think you might as well tell Uncle Chi about this and let him give you an idea. If he doesn't care, or if what he says is not nice, it's not too late for you to blame him!"
Jiying didn't say anything, but she didn't rush out either.
Zhou Shaojin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I think the reason why cousin Yi dared to say in such a big tone that he would ask Uncle Chi for you is probably because he thinks he really likes you and will give you a name. Just based on this point, it will be better for you to follow him than to follow Uncle Chi. We just need to let him know that even if you follow him, he wants to give you a name, in addition to seeing whether your grandmother and aunt are happy, it also depends on whether his future wife agrees. Uncle Chi is different. He has the ability to establish his own family. If you follow Uncle Chi, even if you are a concubine, as long as Uncle Chi keeps you by his side, even if Uncle Chi gets married in the future, Aunt Chi will not give you a cold look at you casually... If he really treats you well, he shouldn't pester you anymore." When she said this, she looked at Jiying uneasily and said, "It's just that I have to wrong you... and bear a reputation... I'm afraid there will be misunderstandings of this and that in the future..."
Ji Ying didn't care and said, "I have to stay with your Uncle Chi for ten years. Even if he doesn't misunderstand, someone else will. Even if he doesn't misunderstand now, he will misunderstand in the future. Since you think this is a good idea, then go and tell Cheng Yi!"
Zhou Shaojin didn't expect Ji Ying to be so easy to talk to. He took her shoulder gratefully and said, "Thank you. I will make cousin Yi swear not to talk nonsense about your relationship with Uncle Chi."
Ji Ying smiled and said, "There's nothing to be grateful for. It's just a small thing."
Zhou Shaojin knew that she really didn't take it to heart, and couldn't help but say, "You are so generous."
Ji Ying sneered and said, "Is this considered magnanimity?"
Zhou Shaojin said seriously: "If it were me, I would be so worried."
"No!" Ji Ying patted her head confidently and said with a smile, "It depends on the idea you have. You won't just sit there and wait for death. If this happened to you, you would also come up with a solution quickly."
Zhou Shaojin was stunned.
In her previous life, she was in a panic. Not to mention finding a solution, she didn't even dare to face her grandmother and others...
Has she really changed in this life
On the way back, Zhou Shaojin kept thinking about what she had done since her rebirth, trying to find out some changes in her.
After hearing Huaishan's report, Cheng Chi in Lixuezhai was surprised for a while and asked, "Did the second young lady of the Zhou family really say that?"
"Yes!" Huaishan said, "The second young lady of the Zhou family said that you have the ability to establish your own family. Even if you get married in the future, as long as you keep Jiying by your side, even if she is your first wife, she will not look at Jiying casually..."
Cheng Chi looked at Huaishan strangely and said, "I'm not asking you this, why are you talking so much?"
Huaishan said puzzledly: "Then what are you asking? I think these few words are the most pleasant to hear in the conversation between the second daughter of the Zhou family - although she is young and the second daughter of the family, she does not have the bad temper of those young masters and young ladies who do not care about the economy..."
"That's enough!" Cheng Chi interrupted Huaishan impatiently and said, "I'm asking, she asked Jiying to acknowledge that she was my concubine in front of Cheng Yi, and Jiying didn't get so angry that she drew her sword and stabbed?"
"No." Huaishan said, "Mrs. Shang said that she saw the second young lady of the Zhou family hugging Jiying's waist in the hall. She was shocked at the time, fearing that Jiying would hurt the second young lady of the Zhou family. When everyone rushed to the Falling Flower Cover, they saw Jiying using their Ji family's unique skill of 'Golden Cicada Escape' to escape. Fortunately, the second young lady of the Zhou family knew nothing and did not ask, otherwise something would definitely happen. What do you think, should Jiying live in Zaoyuan for a few days?"
Cheng Chi said nothing, but tapped the desk lightly with his fingertips.
Huaishan said cautiously, "Fourth Master, there is one more thing... Fan Qi has returned from the capital and should be in Jinling City in the next two or three days."
