Chapter 203： Four thousand words of hosta

Latest website: Qiu's house is not far from his new home, only one street away, the two of them went there and came back soon.

"Sir, the housekeeper of Qiu's residence said that Master Qiu won't be back until the evening. The villain has already left a message." Ding Zhenggang replied.

"Well, that's fine. It's because I didn't think about it carefully. Usually, I have to wait until the evening before I go to work. If he comes over, say that I will move in in a month or so, and I will come to visit at that time. Okay, You all go, Qingsong go out with me."

I can only wait until I move back next month to chat with him and drink.

He hurriedly took Qingsong out again, everything at home could be lacking, and waited for them to come back to buy it, but the plaque at the gate still had to be ordered in advance.

He has been to Dong'an City, but the city is very big, and some streets are not very familiar, so he needs to ask passers-by.

After inquiring along the way, I found a shop specializing in plaques, and looked at a few font styles. He never hesitates in his work. After choosing, he will pay the deposit and make an appointment for delivery.

He probably won't be there at that time. He asked Qingsong to remember the time and deliver it when the time comes. Check it with Ding Zhenggang before signing for it.

After finishing the business, he also had the intention to look while walking. When he saw that there were gadgets selling on the roadside, he stepped forward to look over it with interest.

When he saw a small colorful ball, he pinched it and found that it was made of rattan, and it was covered with a layer of brightly colored cloth, which looked colorful.

Thinking of his daughter-in-law saying that children like brightly colored things, he took it decisively and picked up another rattle.

He didn't favor one over the other. When he saw that there were tops selling, he also bought a few and let the stinky boys have one.

I already have several children, so it makes no sense not to buy it for my daughter-in-law. Pregnancy and childbirth, but also to raise the child, how hard it is.

Looking around all the way, he didn't like it, and he didn't feel worthy of his daughter-in-law.

Qingsong followed without any regrets. Seeing that his master looked at women's things, he thought that he should buy things for his wife.

He thought about it for a while, and said boldly, "Do you want to go to the jewelry store, sir?"

"Alright." After searching around, he didn't see anyone worthy of his daughter-in-law, so he still had to go to a decent shop.

The two turned into the most prosperous Dong'an Street and found the nearest jewelry store. The store is small, but spacious and bright.

He only took fifty taels with him when he went out, and spent some money, but it should be enough to buy a gift for his wife, it doesn't need to be too expensive.

The gold headgear is already available at home, and his daughter-in-law has not had the chance to wear it yet. He didn't plan to pick the gold jewelry, so he skipped the gold jewelry that the shopkeeper took out, and looked at the silver jewelry on the side, but he was not very satisfied.

"Would you like to see jade bracelets and jade hairpins, etc.? These are the new works of our craftsmen." Seeing Zhou Cheng, the shopkeeper didn't even look at the gold ornaments, nor was he satisfied with the silver ornaments, so he gave them with great discernment. He recommends jade ornaments.

As soon as he saw the jade ornaments, his eyes lit up, and his daughter-in-law didn't have jade ornaments yet.

Seeing Zhou Cheng's expression, the shopkeeper knew that there was a show, and very attentive recommended him a few hosta, jade bracelets, and earrings.

At a glance, he took a fancy to the hairpin on the shopkeeper's tray. It was delicate and small, transparent and emerald green. It seemed that it matched the temperament of his daughter-in-law very well.

"Show me the second hosta on the right?"

The shopkeeper smiled and praised: "The guest officer is really good at seeing. This hosta is simple and elegant. The body of the hairpin is made of bamboo knots.

Zhou Cheng took a closer look and found that it was really elegant, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became, "What's the asking price?"

"The price is 22 taels. This is the first time Xiao'er has drawn and designed it. He will be very happy to sell it so quickly. To show my affection, I will give the guest officer a pair of silver lilacs." The shopkeeper smiled and said, It's hard for his ten-year-old child to still have this talent, but he still has to focus on his studies.

"Ling Lang is very clever. Please help me wrap it up." The price did not exceed his expectations, and he was still satisfied. His daughter-in-law's gentle and calm look must look good wearing this.

"well."

The shopkeeper deliberately chose a beautiful jewelry box, which can be regarded as an explanation for his son. His daughter-in-law is old, and this hairpin is not suitable for her, otherwise they would have kept it for themselves.

Zhou Cheng left with satisfaction, taking the hairpin and silver cloves in his arms. Go back to the house with Qingsong and the two.

He told the servants in the mansion to live together peacefully, clean the house well, and follow Ding Zhenggang's arrangement if there was anything wrong.

After all, Ding Zhenggang was familiar with Dong'an City, and it was Qiu Baize who helped him pick out the old and weak soldiers from the camp, so he was still very relieved.

After speaking, he drove back alone, and he had to get back to Zhuangzi before dark.

I didn't feel it when I was shopping, but now I can't wait to get home early.

Xiaobai was still young, but he pulled so many people into the city in the morning, and now he was going back. He was worried that it was tired and could only control the speed. From time to time, I touched my arms again, for fear that the carriage would fall out of bumps.

When it was safe to reach Zhuangzi, the sun had just set and the sky was still bright.

Pei Xiu didn't hear the sound of hooves in the house, but Aunt Zhang and Sister Li heard it in the kitchen. The kitchen is only separated from the outside by a wall, and the window is open, so you can know when there is movement outside.

Aunt Zhang probed to see that it was a carriage, and asked Sister Li to talk to Madam, and she went to open the door to see.

Zhou Cheng just raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Sir is back!" Sure enough, Aunt Zhang said happily.

She quickly opened both courtyard doors so that the carriage could come in.

After parking the carriage, he untied the rope from Xiaobai and stroked it a few times. Xiaobai is also very human, and rubbed his horse's head on his shoulder.

"Aunt Zhang, give Xiaobai some grass and beans first. He is exhausted today."

"Okay." Aunt Zhang replied with a smile. Xiaobai, who has been with the master's family for so long, also likes this little white horse from the bottom of her heart.

After giving Xiaobai to Aunt Zhang to feed him, he hurriedly went to wash his hands and face, and couldn't wait to open the door.

Sister-in-law Li went out with a wink, closed the door, and left room for the two of them to talk.

"You're really on time. You said evening, but you really came back in the evening. Are things done?"

"Well, everything is done. I also ordered a plaque for the gate. Did you get out of bed and walk around today?"

Pei Xiu struggled to sit up, and Zhou Cheng stuffed her back with a pillow to lean against. I heard her say: "I listened to you, I didn't go to the second house, I just got up and walked around for a while when I went to the hut."

He looked at his sleeping daughter, a little regretful. She took a colored ball from behind and a rattle, and put it on either side of her head.

"You also know that you brought a gift to your daughter, what a good dad." She glanced at him unexpectedly, and such behavior should be praised.

He hooked the corner of his mouth, took out a long jewelry box from his arms, and handed it to her.

She said unexpectedly, "For me?"

"Open it and see." He smiled at her.

"What did you buy for me? The box is quite beautiful." She glanced at him happily, and opened the jewelry box with anticipation. His eyes were shining brightly at this bamboo hosta.

"It's so beautiful." He picked it up and looked at it again and again, and the happy and surprised expression suddenly disappeared. He glared at him as if he had changed his face, "How much does this cost? How much did you take out?"

Zhou Cheng was very surprised. How could he turn his face faster than he turned a book? Wasn't he surprised and liked just now? How to change it.

He took the remaining twenty taels out of his arms and handed them over to her. He said innocently, "I originally had some copper coins on me, and I brought another fifty taels. I left fifty taels for the servants in the house, and the plaques were reserved. After paying a deposit of one tael, I bought twenty-two taels of this hairpin and a pair of silver cloves. I also bought some gadgets for the children, and the rest are here."

She took away all the money and left him only a few dozen coins.

"Forget it this time, you can't spend money indiscriminately in the future. We have less than 500 taels of silver now, and I want to add a few more acres of land for us, so we won't be sitting on the mountain in the future. It’s expensive to buy it outside, and we can collect the rent once we have the land.”

After speaking, she happily took out the hairpin and looked at it.

Zhou Cheng shook his head helplessly, and his expression changed really quickly. His wife is getting harder and harder to figure out.

Seeing that she really likes her, he is also very satisfied with his vision.

He took the hairpin in her hand and said, "I'll put it on for you..."

Looking up at the messy big oily head, he was a little stupid, wishing he could punch himself and faint.

Which pot is not opened to mention which pot. Obviously his daughter-in-law cares about personal hygiene and image the most, and he also pokes her heart.

Pei Xiu's original good mood was also ruined by his words.

Seeing that he was still holding the hairpin and raising his hand in a foolish way, he seemed unable to start, so she was so angry that she grabbed it directly and kicked him hard.

"You get out......"

He touched his nose, stood up, raised the corners of his mouth, with a deep smile in his eyes, and said, "It's my fault. It's more important for us to confine ourselves to the confinement. If you take care of your body, you can dress up well."

She gave him a hard look, carefully put away the hairpin, and put the silver lilac in together. Put it in her kang, so that even if she can't bring it, she can look at it from time to time.

He coughed twice, "You can't sit for a long time. Lie down. I'll go and see him in the second room."

"Go, Aunt Zhang said that his face has turned a little **** today."

"Um."

After he nodded and helped her lie down, he went out and went to the second room.

Not knowing whether the second child was asleep or awake now, he gently pushed the door open and went in. Seeing him lying there with his eyes closed, he didn't seem to fall asleep listening to the sound of his breathing.

"Zhou Sheng?" He called softly.

He heard the wrong voice, opened his eyes quickly, and looked at his father in surprise, "Father, you are back. Aunt Zhang said that you sent the servant to Dong'an City today. Did you just come back?"

"Well, how are you feeling today, will your chest still be uncomfortable. Have you taken the medicine at night?"

"Not yet, but I feel much better and my breathing won't hurt anymore. I just thought Aunt Zhang came in with dinner, so I didn't open my eyes." The second child looked at his father with a smile.

"I bought you a spinning top, you can play as soon as you get better."

"Thank you dad!" The second child was extremely happy, and only then did he show the innocent smile that he should have at his age. He felt that after he was injured, his father showed a fatherly love that was not easily noticed before.

At this moment, the third child and Zhou Shan also went home from school, pushed open the door and came in, followed by Zhang Xintang.

"father."

"Uncle Zhou."

"Well, the second child has been lying down for a day, and you came back just in time to talk to him." He turned to ask Zhang Xintang, "How is your sister? Did you have a nightmare last night?"

"Thank you Uncle Zhou for your concern. Niuniu is very good. She took the medicine before going to bed last night. My mother said that she did not dream until dawn. When she woke up early in the morning, she was back to her usual lively and active nature. Where's my brother. My mother was afraid that she would quarrel with my brother's illness on Tuesday, so she didn't let her over. She's making a fuss at home now."

"That's fine, let's talk."

After he finished speaking, he planned to wash up and change his clothes. As soon as he came back, he went to his wife and children, thinking about them, and couldn't take care of himself for a while.

He didn't plan to go to see the boss, let him think for a few days in the room.

From a peasant boy, now he has transformed into an official young master who can make slaves call maids. Even if the poor become rich, even adults may not be able to keep it, let alone if he has a child. After all, I am still young, uncertain, and complacent, and it is normal to float.

The other few are still young, and may not have a deep sense of the difference from usual.

I just hope he can remember this lesson and not develop a complacent character.

Hearing the sound of reading from the second room, he was still very satisfied with the hard work of these children. Learning is like rowing upstream.

In the room, Zhou Shan and the third child are also explaining to the second child what the Master said today. When they went out in the morning, the second child explained it. In class, they should carefully write down what the Master said and come back to explain it to him.

He likes reading and literacy very much, but is limited by his talent. Zhou Shan and the third child could recite it a few times, but he had to recite it dozens of times and recite it dozens of times to be smooth.

The stupid bird flies first, he can only redouble his efforts. Now lying in bed, he doesn't want to fall too much, and listen carefully to the three of them explaining to him every word and every word.

The chattering voice could be heard by the boss and Huzi in the next room.

The two of them have been lying down since yesterday, except for Aunt Zhang who came in to deliver meals and comforted them a few words~ Mother never came to see them.

The third child and Zhou Shan only came to see them when they were taking the medicine yesterday, and they didn't visit them when they left or came back today.

He was very sad and regretful in his heart, how could he not listen to advice at that time because of his fascination.

Hu Zi was even more uneasy, and he also had a great responsibility. After all, he was a little older, but he didn't dissuade him, and followed his own efforts to cause trouble, causing Zhou Sheng to be injured.

After all, he is not biological, and he is worried that he will be disliked by others, and he has been uneasy all day.

Seeing that Zhou Yong had been sullen, he put away his self-blame and comforted him: "When we can get out of bed, let's go and apologize to the second child, and also confess to Zhou's uncle and aunt. Next time we will never do it again. , you must be obedient."

The boss grumbled in response.

"Don't be sad, they are angry for a while. When Aunt Zhang delivers the meal, how about Zhou Sheng again?"

"Um."
