The four sons and five sons who followed were all very surprised. When they saw the people sent by Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou to say hello to Zhou Fuxiang, they laughed and told all about Zhou Fuxiang's great improvement in recent days.The person who went back imitated the example and told Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, but Mrs. Zhou was fine, but Mrs. Zhou couldn't help being overjoyed, she dragged the boy to ask Tianqiao what he looked like, where he lived, He asked how old he was, and the servants all replied. When Mrs. Zhou heard that she was a relative of Grandma Liu, she asked, "Where is Grandma Liu from?"

The nanny, old lady, and others standing on the ground laughed and said, "My wife may have forgotten that Grandma Liu is the real mother of Wang Gou'er, a tenant in the village. She came to pay your respects to the old man that year. You still have her for a meal." of."

Mrs. Zhou suddenly smiled and said: "It turns out that they are relatives of their family, but I forgot. I saw that the boss of their family is very good, and his temperament and temperament are also compatible with Yanqing, but it is a pity that he is not good. Literacy, it's not easy to study together. Now that such a boy with complete personality and appearance comes from their family, it can be seen that their family is also serious about educating their children."

Everyone said: "Speaking of it, Gou'er's family even had a clan relationship with the officials in the city in the old year. They are all said to be a great family. The girls and sons of the clan are good at poetry, piano, calligraphy and painting. Since they are Relatives, it is necessary to be nurtured during the contacts."

Mrs. Zhou nodded her head and said: "Since this is the case, we can't treat him slowly." She asked the people around her to call a young boy outside the second gate and said, "Tell me what I said, and ask someone to tell the Qiao brother next to the uncle." Send some greetings."

After finishing speaking, the maid Xueli who accompanied her hurriedly went to prepare, went to the attic behind, and took out a silver plate in a short while, with a piece of silk on it, opened it for Mrs. Zhou to see, and what she took was a ruler and a pair of Mrs. Zhou said with a smile that the gold and silver carnations of "Peace in Four Seasons" are very good, and she asked the servants to take good care of Mr. Haofu, so she asked Sydney to hand over the things to the servants to take them out, and rewarded them with a bunch of them. He turned around and asked how the comprador girl who accompanied Fang Guo's family was doing.

The Guo family replied with a smile: "This time, I caught up with a Qiaozong, and I really bought a suitable one. I have seen many girls before, because I think the most powerful Tangerine girl next to my wife was released years ago. En is married, so what doesn't need to be taken care of by his wife inside and out? If you want to look for it, you must find someone who is similar to Miss Tangerine. The girls I saw in front of you are either inferior in appearance or temper. Half a point, but this one is born well, has been taught, and is very reasonable. As soon as Qin San'er, who went shopping that day, came back, I knew from his description that it was her."

Mrs. Zhou couldn't help laughing with those nuns holding her handkerchief, "You said it so well, I thought you had seen her before, but it turned out to be hearsay. Don't believe Qin San'er, There's nothing serious in his mouth."

The whole family of Guo also smiled and said: "Even if Qin San'er is not serious, he can't be careless about his wife's affairs. Although I haven't seen it before, I heard that the girl used to serve the young mistress of the official family in the city. She is proud of her." At that time, what she meant was the meaning of the young mistress, and no one would disrespect her in her actions and actions, but later the young mistress of their family died, and the family was not as good as before, so they were sold out."

Mrs. Zhou frowned when she heard this, and said: "I need to inquire carefully. I heard that recently, many officials in the city have committed crimes and have been dismissed. In addition, those maids in the house have been sold out. No matter how good they are, if they get involved in right and wrong None of us can have it."

Guo's family hurriedly said: "Madam is right. I asked Qin San'er the same way. What he said was true. It's not those who come from the house. I think it's about our family's reputation. He is You can't lie to me anymore, and besides, those women who committed crimes have been bought by rich families near the capital, and they are absolutely impossible to come here. Qin San'er wanted to bring her here to show his wife today, and she said she would It will be Ching Ming in a few days, at least I won’t come here until the family members and the deceased young mistress are sweeping. Seeing her sincerity, I made my own decision and agreed to her, allowing her to kowtow to my wife after the Ching Ming. "

Mrs. Zhou nodded and said: "She can do this, she is really a proper child. Anyway, it is her anyway, order to go down, clean up the house where Miju used to live, and leave it to that girl. Everything depends on Sydney. If they come, it will still be eight qian qian per month, and when they come, let the master measure the size and make some clothes."

The whole family of Guo and the nuns who were in charge all nodded in agreement, and Fang accompanied Mrs. Zhou to talk for a while before coming out to do their own business.

The young men there got the reward, walked out of the gate along the courtyard, and ran towards the village around the bend.Seeing that Zhou Fuxiang had said everything Mrs. Zhou had ordered, she took out the gold and silver handles and the ruler and said, "This is a gift from my wife to Brother Qiao. I thought that my uncle didn't bring a single piece when he came out, so I just Let us deliver it. And asked us to tell the uncle that it will be Qingming in a few days, let the uncle go to the house to worship the ancestors, if Brother Qiao and Brother Ban are not busy, we will also go to the mansion with the uncle to play for a few days That’s right, at least I’ll meet Madam and Master.”

Zhou Fuxiang smiled and took the gifts and put them on the desk at hand, and said to the boy: "Go back and tell your wife that everything is fine here, and you must go back after Qingming. As for Brother Qiaoer and Brother Banner, wait until I asked, and you can talk back."

The servant let out a clear hey, and Zhou Fuxiang grabbed a handful of copper coins from the table and gave him a hand, and let him go out.Here I stared blankly at the pile of gifts and shook my head for a while, thinking that with Tianqiao's temper, he might not be willing to go home with him.

Thinking of himself laughing, he called Lu'er and asked him to go to the hillside to find Tianqiaolai.Lu'er went away like a gust of wind, called Qiaojie, and smiled before entering the door: "What's the matter, Yanqing called me here in such a hurry?" Just after she finished speaking, she lifted the curtain and entered the room.

With her hands behind her back, Zhou Fuxiang murmured towards the desk and said, "Mother heard that you came to accompany me as a reading companion, so she sent someone over as a gift."

Sister Qiao stood there and took a look, and saw that there was nothing unusual about a pair of gold and silver pruners and a ruler, so she turned around and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you, but thank you for your kindness." Yes." Although she said so, Zhou Fuxiang, relying on the experience of getting along with Qiaojie for many days, just by looking at her expression, she knew that she didn't care about the rewards. Asked: "I don't know if you and Ban'er will be free before and after Qingming?"

Sister Qiao was taken aback for a moment, and after some calculations in her heart, she was secretly surprised that it was almost Qingming before she knew it.If it was in previous years, if it was in Jia's mansion, it must have been ready to leave at this moment, and mother would also be busy, first the sacrifice and sweeping, and then the outing.The maids will also take her to play on a swing and release paper kites after the sacrifice.Now, with her family broken and her family dead, she might be the only one who can worship one or two.Thinking of the sad part, Qiaojie suddenly felt that her cheeks were wet and slippery, and she knew she was crying. She was worried that Zhou Fuxiang would turn her back and wipe it carelessly when she saw Faqian, and said in a hoarse voice: "Maybe Qingming is busy, sir. What is this asking for?"

Zhou Fuxiang had already seen the unexplained tears falling on her face and her flustered little movements, but because he was naturally sensitive, he knew that there must be a secret secret in Qiaojie's heart, and it was inconvenient for others to know, so he just did not know it. She said with a smile: "My parents are very concerned. They asked me to go to the Qingming family to worship the ancestors. They also asked someone to bring a message, saying that they had never seen you before, and asked me to take you to the house to play for a few days. I didn't agree immediately. I asked if you and Ban'er were busy."

Sister Qiao held back her sadness, turned around and forced a smile and said, "It's going to go against the good intentions of the master and madam. I really can't get away around Qingming. After Qingming, I will go to the mansion to say hello to the master and madam."

Zhou Fuxiang hurriedly said it was all right, seeing that Qiao Jie seemed to be a little unhappy, he took out a chess book on the table, opened a page at random, and asked Qiao Jie pretending to be puzzled to help him relax.Qiaojie was also suffering from depression and discomfort, so she settled down to read the chess record and figure out the secrets one by one.Half a day later, the two of them sat down and played a game of chess. Zhou Fuxiang looked at Qiaojie's expression again and again, and seeing her slowly calming down, he felt slightly relieved.

When the sun was setting, Ban'er had finished herding the sheep and came to ask Qiao Jie to go home together.On the way, she happily told Sister Qiao what strange clouds she saw today, Sister Qiao hung her head for a long while before she nodded in confusion.

Ban'er was puzzled, took her hand and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you, are you annoyed with the uncle again?"

Qiaojie shook her head with tears in her eyes, and Ban'er was even more disturbed. She squeezed her hand tightly and asked, "So, what's wrong with you?"

Sister Qiao clenched her fingers gently in his palm, holding back her tears and said in a low voice, "I want to visit the graves of my mother and relatives at home."

Ban'er was startled, and vetoed: "That's not okay, have you forgotten how dangerous it is outside, going out now is tantamount to asking for death, I can't promise you this."
