Novels » 9 Uncle Wanfu »
The next day, Cheng Yujin went to greet Cheng Dowager early in the morning.
Maid welcomed her in, and the heat of the earth dragon rushed to her face. While helping Cheng Yujin take off his cloak, Maid said, "Last night, Dowager left Xu 2-Master and a few misses in the main room, and they are still sleeping in the biscuit closet. Dowager was afraid that Xu 2-Master would catch cold, so he let people fall to the ground. dragon is hotter. Big-Miss may not be used to the heat just after coming in from outside, just wait a bit.”
Cheng Yujin nodded : "I understand. Who else is there besides 2-Biao-Brother? There is only one bed in Bisha closet, can you sleep on it?"
"Cheng Li, 2-Miss and 4-Biao-Miss sleep in the same bed, and one person can sleep on the kang bed in the nuangge. 2-Master was going to the Bisha closet yesterday, and we laughed a lot. ."
Cheng Yujin knew that his cousin Biao-Mei were in the same room. Although Cheng Dowager was watching, they were too close. She rolled her eyes, withdrew her expression, nodded to Maid and smiled : "Elder-Sister has trouble. Has Grandmother woke up?"
"Dowager has woken up. It's just that Xu 2-Master slept late yesterday and hasn't woken up yet."
Cheng Yujin's forward footsteps stopped suddenly : "2-Biao-Brother still asleep?"
The Warm Pavilion is a small single room separated from Cheng Dowager's bedroom. surrounding walls are hollowed out. In winter, hot air circulates day and night, and it is as warm as spring, so it is called the Warm Pavilion. That is to say, if Cheng Yujin went into the inner room to greet Cheng Dowager, she would inevitably pass through the warm pavilion where Xu Zhixian was.
If it was Cheng Yumo, he must have run in now, and would even use his cold hands to tease Xu Zhixian to get up. But Cheng Yujin didn't. She stopped outside the door and said, "Since 2-Biao-Brother is inconvenient, then I'll wait."
Maid inside saw Big-Miss coming, and hurriedly called Xu Zhixian to get up. Xu Zhixian didn't want to wake up at first, but in a daze, he heard Maid say "Big-Miss is outside." Xu Zhixian was so frightened that a carp stood up, grabbed the robe from the bed and put it on his body.
Xu Zhixian has always been carefree and informal, but for some reason, he is always very disciplined in front of Cheng Yujin, and he must dress decently. What would it look like if Cheng Yujin saw her disheveled clothes.
After Xu Zhixian was in order, he was willing to pinch out and say hello to Cheng Yujin : "Jin Elder-Sister. uh, Biao-Mei ok."
The Maid laughed when they saw this scene, jokingly said :
"2-Master, obviously Big-Miss is Miss's family, why are you blushing like a big girl who is on the sedan chair for the first time."
Xu Zhixian blushed when he was told, and when he saw Cheng Yujin pursed his lips and smiled, he didn't know why he was embarrassed, and rushed out with a snort : "I'll go outside and look cold, you go ahead and say goodbye to the ancestors. "
The news from the outside had already reached Cheng Dowager. She came out of the small house-like stepping bed. Cheng Yujin saw it and hurried to help Cheng Dowager.
Maid had prepared the water long ago, Cheng Yujin reached out and probed it. temperature of the water was suitable, and it could be seen that it was always warm on the stove. Cheng Yujin handed Cheng Dowager a handkerchief, and from time to time did some light and conspicuous work, waiting for Cheng Dowager to wash.
Zhang Mama, the dowry of Cheng Dowager, praised : "Big-Miss is really filial, and Erxi, who has been around for more than ten years, is not as meticulous and caring as Big-Miss."
Cheng Yujin smiled : "Serving the elders is my blessing."
Zhang Mama smile grew brighter when she heard Cheng Yujin's words. She thought to herself that there were still two misses sleeping in the Bisha closet. They were in the same main room, separated by three or four steps, and they were not seen to serve them. Dowager stood up, apparently completely unaware. Not to mention the Misses, even two Erxis the size of Cheng Dowager have not arrived yet.
People and people are really one-to-one.
Last night, Miles Yumo slept here at Dowager, Ruan Shi hurriedly chased after him early in the morning, wanting to see how his daughter was doing. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I saw that Cheng Yujin was already there, looking at the posture, it seemed to have been guarded for a long time.
Ruan Shi expression suddenly felt a little wrong.
Cheng Dowager glanced at Ruan Shi and said coldly :
"coming."
Ruan Shi face is very difficult, and she is most afraid of being compared with others. Even her Erxi can't compare to her granddaughter? Ruan Shi didn't even bother to go to the Bisha cabinet in the west to see his daughter, so he hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and squeezed up to wait on Cheng Dowager to wash up.
The place is only so big, Ruan Shi squeezed in, many people were blocked, Cheng Yujin stepped back in time, and gave the space to Ruan Shi.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Mama secretly praised again.
Cheng Yujin watched Ruan Shi hurriedly twisting the handkerchief and mouthwash for Cheng Dowager. After all, she was not as good as Maid, who was used to doing it. water was cold and hot for a while, and Cheng Dowager scolded him several times. There are still so many Maid around, Cheng Dowager is not happy, Ruan Shi face is not good-looking.
Cheng Yujin shook her head secretly in her heart, she was really confused, she was serving the elders for the name of "filial piety", so she really wanted to do the job of serving tea and water? To put it bluntly, it is a show, and the elements of performance are far greater than the elements of practicality.
So Cheng Yujin never did things like twisting the veil or holding the spittoon. It was dirty and tiring. Whoever likes to do it can do it. Cheng Yujin would only wait for Maid to twist the veil, and naturally reached out to take it and handed it to Cheng Dowager, and Maid would do the rest of the work. In this way, Cheng Yujin did nothing, but it seemed very important and indispensable.
Someone like Ruan Shi who rolls up his sleeves and goes into battle in person is too sincere.
The complex family environment taught Cheng Yujin how to be clever at a very young age. What other girls can only learn three or four years after they get married, she understands at the age of ten. Not only that, but she has also become exquisite and extremely selfish. She doesn't care about face, doesn't long for the love of her parents, and doesn't care about love.
She only loves herself.
Cheng Dowager finally finished cleaning up, at this time Ruan Shi was exhausted physically and mentally. She saw Cheng Yujin, who was standing by with nothing to do, and she didn't know why, an evil fire was born. Ruan Shi smiled and asked, "Big-Miss, why didn't Big-sao come?"
Ruan Shi couldn't explain why he asked such a thing. When Cheng Yujin was very young, Ruan Shi knew that Cheng Yujin didn't know who her Kin-mother was the best, but the inexplicable malice in his heart made Ruan Shi speak again and again, quietly provoking Cheng Yujin and Qingfu County Owner relation. If Cheng Yujin's life is not good, Ruan Shi will feel distressed, but Cheng Yujin's life is good, and he and Qingfu are as close as mother and daughter, which will make Ruan Shi heart burn like fire, and jealousy is hard to bear.
Forsythia expression is not very good, if you want her to say, 2-Madam's behavior is necrotic, she can't see Big-Miss good! Big-Maid was filled with righteous indignation, but Cheng Yujin herself was very calm. Her heart had already become invulnerable, but she could still smile at Ruan Shi : "Mother has to take care of her father and 3-Didi, and she will not be able to leave for a while. So my mother asked me to do my filial piety on her behalf and serve Grandmother."
Look at what he said, Cheng Yujin didn't answer why the owner of Qingfu County didn't come, but only said that Qingfu wanted to take care of Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Enbao. In one sentence, he saved Qingfu and made Cheng Dowager happy. In Cheng Dowager's eyes, of course, son and grandson are the most important. Erxi serves her son and makes Cheng Dowager feel comfortable.
Cheng Dowager smiled with satisfaction, she glanced at Ruan Shi when she got up, Ruan Shi suddenly lowered her head in fright, and did not dare to breathe.
Cheng Dowager walked to the East Room and asked, "How about the other children?"
"Back to Dowager, 2-Miss and Xu 2-Master are washing their faces in the biscuit closet. Miss said that there is no powder she is used to here, so they went back to the Grand-Aunt yard to re-comb their hair."
Don't talk about outsiders, Ruan Shi, a Kin-mother, wanted to shake her head when she heard it. At the same age, Cheng Yumo and Xu Nianchun were childish. elders had been awake for so long and didn't come to greet them, and they went out to dress up by themselves. In contrast, Cheng Yujin is simply not as sensible as little Miss.
Ruan Shi couldn't see it, and secretly asked Maid to go to the Bisha closet to call Cheng Yumo over. Cheng Yumo and Xu Zhixian walked over with loose buns and said hello in unison, "Old Ancestor."
Cheng Dowager nodded, and she said, "The three of you grew up together. It's not that siblings are better than siblings. You don't have to wait here with me. Go and play in Baoxia."
Xu Zhixian let out a cheerful "hey", Cheng Yujin noticed that Cheng Dowager was deliberately creating opportunities for them, and it was hard to say which one he was creating opportunities for. It stands to reason that this kind of timing is impossible to ask for, but Cheng Yujin paused and reluctantly gave up : "Grandmother, I'm afraid I can't."
Cheng Dowager wondered : "What?"
Cheng Yujin said : "Grandfather asked me yesterday to learn to write with 9-Shu."
Cheng Dowager was even more strange : "What are you doing with these?"
"The Thousand Autumn Festival is coming soon. Grandfather wants to send a screen to the saint to celebrate his birthday, so that his granddaughter can embroider. So I'm afraid I have no time to spare these few days. Greeting Grandmother, I have to go and learn to write with 9-Shu."
The silence in the main room was even worse than usual. gift for the emperor's birthday was so noble that it was handed over to Cheng Yujin to hold the needle. This is the decency that Erxi like Qing Fu, Ruan Shi, and even the main room Fu-ren of Cheng Dowager do not have. Ruan Shi and Cheng Dowager were in a complicated mood, Xu Zhixian and Cheng Yumo looked at each other, not daring to speak.
No matter how ignorant they are, they know that Cheng Yujin's treatment is no small matter, higher than their mother.
In the end, Cheng Dowager said, "Since it was Marquis who spoke, you can just go. If you don't have enough time, you don't have to come to me to order Mao in the future."
"How can this be done?" Cheng Yujin declined righteously, and then Shi Shiran saluted and resigned, "Grandmother, 2-Shumu, I'll go first."
After waiting, Forsythia was excited and whispered : "Miss, you didn't see the faces of 2-Madam and Dowager just now. Our Miss is decent, can they compare? Don't talk about it, I'm afraid 2-Madam doesn't even think about it. Dare to think."
"Okay." Cheng Yujin drank forsythia lightly, "Let's talk less, it's getting late, it's too late if you don't go."
Forsythia responded simply, but the corners of her mouth were still raised. This is just the beginning, when the embroidery comes out, they will be jealous!
Cheng Yujin got up early today. Although she wasted some time at Cheng Dowager's place, she thought it was still early. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yuanjing had already packed everything in Chen Mingyuan. It seemed that he had already done a lot of things.
Cheng Yujin was very surprised : "9-Shu get up so early?"
Cheng Yuanjing glanced at her lightly, too lazy to answer such a nutritious question. He pointed to Mo beside him and asked, "Can you write?"
The smile on Cheng Yujin's face was very bright, and she listened carefully and gritted her teeth : "What do you think about 9-Shu?"
Cheng Yuanjing did not deliberately bury Cheng Yujin, but in his eyes, being able to write is equal to good writing. After all, being an official and writing an article is the most basic thing. Whether it is the first assistant, the grand master, the eunuch serving in front of the royal family, or the master of the tutorial Yuanjing, everyone has a good hand in writing.
Cheng Yuanjing didn't care about Cheng Yujin's offense, but nodded with his eyes and said, "Write a word first."
Cheng Yujin wanted to underestimate who she was, Cheng Big-Miss is famous for her skills in chess, Qin, calligraphy, needlework, needlework, and needlework. However, what she is best at is calligraphy.
Cheng Yujin walked to the table, picked up the pen and thought for a while, then wrote the inscription.
Cheng Yuanjing's eyes involuntarily fell on Cheng Yujin's injured left hand.
Cheng Yujin finished writing a word in one go, she was very satisfied, but out of restraint, she did not take the initiative to speak. However, she waited for a while and found that Cheng Yuanjing didn't know what she was looking at, but she didn't respond.
Cheng Yujin glanced at him strangely, and found that Cheng Yuanjing was looking at her side. She straightened her sleeves and found nothing wrong.
"9-Shu?"
Cheng Yuanjing retracted his gaze and calmly set his gaze on the paper. Seeing him behave like this, Cheng Yujin felt that he was making a fuss. Cheng Yujin carefully guessed Cheng Yuanjing's expression, but couldn't see anything. Cheng Yujin gradually became a little nervous, and asked in a low voice, "9-Shu, what do you think?"
Cheng Yuanjing glanced down at her and said lightly :
"For women, it's okay."
Cheng Yujin didn't like hearing this very much. Good is good, bad is bad. What is acceptable for a woman? This is looking down on who.
She raised her eyebrows and deliberately asked, "What about everyone?"
"The poor mastery is too much for Qiao, the heart is not right, and the writing is also distracting." Cheng Yuanjing said unceremoniously. Cheng Yujin narrowed her eyes, although she was angry, she knew that he was right.
For the sake of fame, Cheng Yujin practiced all the famous skills of boudoir girls, such as embroidery, such as playing the Qin, she can do it very beautifully. However, in fact, what she really likes is calligraphy.
Books are also her favorite subject. It's just that as a stepdaughter, she is able to stand out in some places, but not in some places, such as writing, such as writing poetry and fu. This is a few Didi outstanding achievements in this family, and she can't take the edge.
Therefore, Cheng Yujin has never shown her calligraphy skills in front of outsiders. In front of Cheng Lao Marquis that day, in order to please Cheng Lao Marquis, she blew some words collected by old Marquis, but she did not expect it to be Cheng Yuanjing's. Cheng Yujin was a little embarrassed. When she started writing today, she wanted to show how well she could write.
I don't think that because I paid too much attention to writing beautifully, I fell into the inferior position.
Cheng Yujin was not convinced, picked up the pen, and quickly wrote the word "Jin" on the edge of the paper. Cheng Yujin put down the pen, looked up at him without dodging : "9-Shu, what about now?"
Cheng Yuanjing is funny, this woman is really competitive. He is obviously scheming and good-natured, but he still pretends to be virtuous.
But then again, her words are quite remarkable.
Cheng Yuanjing's eyes fell on her left hand again. Cheng Yujin noticed it this time, and she lowered her head, then remembered that her left hand should still be injured.
Cheng Yujin immediately helped the table, smiled strong and sensible, said :
"9-Shu, it's just a skin injury, it's okay."
With Cheng Yujin's good-natured personality, she said it was okay, but Cheng Yuanjing couldn't even believe it. He paused for a while and asked, "What happened last night has nothing to do with you. Why do you ask for the guilt and get yourself injured?"
Cheng Yujin was stunned when she heard the question, then she raised her head in a funny way and looked at Cheng Yuanjing : "9-Shu, what do you say?"
" dispute between my father and Grandfather is because of me. Although it is a long-standing grudge and has nothing to do with me, will Grandmother and my mother take care of it? I stood up yesterday and just blocked a whip. If I do nothing, 9-Shu What do you think I will do?"
Cheng Yuanjing was silent, and he asked, "In the past, Cheng Yuanxian scolded you in front of everyone like this?"
Cheng Yujin recalled what happened yesterday, and slowly remembered that Cheng Enbao was noisy yesterday. Cheng Yuanxian felt ashamed, and indeed yelled at her, saying that she didn't know how to take care of Didi. Cheng Yujin didn't take it seriously : "It's just a sentence, and there is no actual loss of profit, so I care about what to do with it."
Anyway, she can leave the Cheng family as soon as she gets married, and Cheng Yuanxian and Qingfu continue to be used to Cheng Enbao, and they will be able to bear it in the future.
Cheng Yuanjing was at a loss for words, and for a while, an unspeakable feeling surged in his heart, how old she was to be able to say such sensible and heartless words. How did the Cheng family treat her to make her so transparent and restrained?
Cheng Yuanjing was angry with the Cheng family. His emotions were inexplicable. He didn't even care that he was offended by Cheng Yuanxian yesterday. Why did he get angry when he heard Cheng Yujin's words?
Cheng Yuanjing was wondering what happened to him, when he heard Cheng Yujin put up his sleeves and said slowly :
"All living beings are suffering, so shouldn't 9-Shu pity me?"
Cheng Yujin raised her head and smiled at Cheng Yuanjing, her eyes narrowed, revealing a seductive slyness : "Emotions are worthless, 9-Shu might as well give me some real benefits instead of pity me."
Cheng Yuanjing laughed angrily, he glanced at her, but liked Cheng Yujin's candid manner. After Cheng Yujin's interruption, the inexplicable emotions in his heart dissipated completely.
Cheng Yuanjing doesn't like to owe people. incident happened yesterday because of him, and Cheng Yujin was just implicated. He took out a porcelain bottle from the Duobao Pavilion on the side and threw it to Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yujin caught it in a hurry, she picked it up and looked at the bottle, she was stunned : "medicine?"
"Um."
Cheng Yujin was reluctant : "Why are you giving me the medicine? Can you change it?"
It was the first time Cheng Yuanjing met him to reward others for so many years. other party was not satisfied, and clamored for him to change it. Cheng Yuanjing was neither angry nor annoyed, he looked at Cheng Yujin with a smile : "What did you say?"
"I think." Cheng Yujin caught Cheng Yuanjing's eyes when she raised her head, and swallowed the words she was about to say, "I think 9-Shu is really careful and kind. Thank you 9-Shu."
kindly? nineteen-year-old Royal-Crown Prince thinks that he does have to be kind, but he is not to the point of being praised for being kind, right? Cheng Yuanjing turned to think that he and Cheng Yujin were nominally uncles and nephews, and it was okay to praise their fathers with kindness.
Maybe Cheng Yujin's last sentence "Thank you 9-Shu" was too sweet and sweet, Cheng Yuanjing did not bother with her for the crime, but took the lead in going to the big book case in the middle. After he went in, he saw Cheng Yujin still standing there, raised his eyebrows and said :
"What are you still doing? Come here."
Cheng Yuanjing's yard is also a two-entry structure, with five main rooms connected to the front and a double-covered room at the back. He lives by himself and is bigger than the other family. He doesn't have his wife, Concubine, by his side. space is very bright. He opened the two rooms on the east side and made them a study.
The study is elegantly furnished and the space is well-arranged, showing that the owner has a good taste. But Rao is so, there is only one bookcase in it.
Now Cheng Yuanjing is still standing in front of the long case, looking at this posture, doesn't he want to teach her how to write?
Cheng Yujin thought to herself that men and women are not inseparable, even if he is her Uncle, there is no reason for him to be an adult niece. If he personally instructed her to write, he would be too close.
Cheng Yuanjing waited for a long time, seeing Cheng Yujin dawdling in front of Duobao Pavilion, the expression on his face changed. Cheng Yuanjing put down the pen and said, "You have lived in the inner house for many years, so you have only this little eye? Come and study ink."
Cheng Yuanjing was obviously shocked when he saw Cheng Yujin. He was surprised at first, and finally thought about it, and raised his eyebrows with a half-smile : "What do you think it is?"
Cheng Yujin smiled softly at Cheng Yuanjing, walked to him, and rubbed the ink table hard.
Cheng Yuanjing walked the dragon and snake, and a line of majestic characters appeared on the paper. Cheng Yujin leaned forward to look and had to be convinced : "9-Shu is really well written."
No wonder he dared to laugh at her, he did have the capital to laugh at her.
Cheng Yuanjing put down his pen, and then motioned for Cheng Yujin to come forward. Cheng Yujin took another pen, and when she turned around, her sleeve accidentally hit the pen holder. Cheng Yujin quickly held the pen holder and moved it to a neat place.
Cheng Yuanjing looked at Cheng Yujin's familiar movements, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Did she just use her left hand?
A person with an injured left hand will subconsciously hold things with his left hand?
Cheng Yuanjing's eyes changed, he looked at Cheng Yujin calmly, Cheng Yujin was immersed in copying, unaware of the look behind him.
Cheng Yuanjing only observed for a while, and then he was completely sure that Cheng Yujin was not injured.
At noon, Maid came to call Cheng Yujin for dinner. When Cheng Yujin was changing clothes, Forsythia spoke smoothly and said to Cheng Yujin, "Big-Miss was away all morning, so Grand-Aunt sent someone to ask you twice."
"Gugu sent someone here?" Cheng Yujin immediately became energetic, "What is Gugu for?"
"Grand-Aunt is worried about your injury and sent someone to ask."
The voices outside gradually faded, Cheng Yujin stopped outside the cubicle, and said to the study from afar : "9-Shu, I'll retire first."
Cheng Yuanjing's expression didn't change, his eyes fell on Cheng Yujin lightly, and after she went out, it turned deep.
It turns out that all her actions yesterday were for Cheng Min to see. She is very sincere to the gongzi brother of the Xu family.
For a man, pretending to be injured and deceiving him. Really good.
Cheng Yuanjing made a special trip last night for someone to take Shuhen cream from the palace. Unexpectedly, from the beginning, it was a performance by Cheng Yujin.
Cheng Yuanjing looked at the word "Jin" protruding from the pile of paper, and pursed his lips coldly.
Cheng Min was brooding about the unhappy breakup last night. Today, she specially asked the kitchen to make old Marquis and Cheng Yuanxian's favorite dishes, and then half pushed and half pulled Old Cheng Marquis over and deliberately had a lively meal.
Cheng Lao Marquis's face softened a lot. Although he hated his son for being ineffective, he still longed for the reunion of his sons and daughters in his heart. Cheng Min deliberately pulled Old Cheng Marquis to talk to Cheng Yuanxian. In another room, the younger generation also gathered to play together.
Cheng Yujin spent a whole day writing and writing, and only now did she make time to pay attention to Xu Zhixian. She was considering the dividing line between showing goodness and restraint, and suddenly saw that Cheng Yuanjing was about to go out and was walking towards Baoxia.
For some reason, Cheng Yujin had an ominous premonition. She stopped talking subconsciously, and paid attention to Cheng Yuanjing.
Cheng Yuanjing walked to the door, just when Cheng Yujin thought it was because he was thinking too much, he suddenly heard a familiar voice : "Cheng Yujin."
Cheng Yujin stood up reflexively : "9-Shu."
Cheng Yuanjing looked at her and smiled very calmly : "Don't you need to go back to practice calligraphy?"
Cheng Yujin's whole body is not well. It's night, and everyone is crowded with Cheng Dowager. Is she going to practice calligraphy?
Cheng Lao Marquis heard the movement here and asked, "Jiulang, what's wrong?"
Cheng Yuanjing still looked at Cheng Yujin and smiled : "The Thousand Autumn Festival is around the corner, and the heaven will give great responsibility to the people, niece, are you right?"
Cheng Lao Marquis was surprised and asked someone to help him over to find out. Cheng Yujin sighed, thinking that Japan will be a long time, and it will not be too late for her to brush Xu Zhixian's favor again tomorrow.
Cheng Yujin stood up straight and bowed her head to say :
"9-Shu said yes."
"Let's go then."
Cheng Yuanjing didn't seem to want to leave alone, Cheng Yujin could only grit his teeth, reluctantly bid farewell to everyone, and chased Cheng Yuanjing out.
After going out, Cheng Yuanjing didn't wait for her deliberately, Cheng Yujin worked hard to keep up with Cheng Yuanjing's pace. She looked at the back of the person in front of her, thinking what was going on, why did she feel that Cheng Yuanjing was not right today?
Seems a little pissed off.
Cheng Yujin's good marriage plan was interrupted. After returning to the house, Forsythia waited on Cheng Yujin to change her home clothes and asked, "Miss, do you want to practice calligraphy?"
When I mention this Cheng Yujin, I hate her. However, she is a very rational person. She never loses her temper when she encounters a problem. She only cares about how to solve the problem and how to maximize the benefits. Anyway, she will definitely not be able to get in touch with Xu Zhixian tonight. If she gets angry, won't she gain nothing?
Might as well practice some words. key to marrying a good husband is to cast a wide net and focus on fishing. Xu Zhixian can't relax here, and he must also follow up on the emperor's birthday gift, which may be rewarded.
Cheng Yujin said, "Get your pen and ink ready, and I'll practice calligraphy in a while."
Forsythia was speechless when she heard it, Big-Miss got up before dawn, first went to say hello to Cheng Dowager, and then went to 9-Master to write for a day, finally went home at night, and she even had to write. With such perseverance, many students who are rushing for the exam are not comparable, right?
Forsythia admired very much. Du Ruo had already laid out the rice paper, put clean water in the inkstone, and quietly retreated.
Cheng Yujin didn't like people beside her when she was reading. Nubi knew Cheng Yujin's rules, so they all retreated outside quietly. Cheng Yujin has lived alone in a courtyard since she was sensible. When Qingfu raised her, she had not yet given birth. She smelled the milky smell of the child and felt disgusting. When Cheng Yujin was able to act on her own, she hurriedly threw Cheng Yujin outside. This is not bad, Cheng Yujin has been in charge of Nubi and property since she was a child, and her temperament is much more mature than other ladies.
Her yard is not as big as Cheng Yuanjing's, but it has all the internal organs. main room faces south, and there are two wing rooms in the east and west. south is the main gate, and there are two inverted rooms on each side of the main gate. There is a cross-shaped bluestone corridor from the door to the main room, and a tall flower tree is planted in the flowerbed, which is especially lively in spring. corner doors are opened at all four corners, and when you open the door, you will merge into the deep Houfu of the courtyard, and when you close the door, you will be self-contained and self-sufficient.
Her main room has the same five-room layout, but it is not as spacious as Cheng Dowager and Cheng Yuanjing's. Cheng Yujin placed the westernmost one as a bedroom, and separated it with a wooden lattice moon door. outside sight. Arhat beds and exquisite mahogany seats are placed in the West Room to receive close guests. middle room is the main hall, where visitors are received and the servants kowtow in the New Year. To the east is Cheng Yujin's own space, the innermost is the study, and the other is where he does embroidery.
Cheng Yujin made a rule that Pozi and Maid could only move in the yard. Second-class Maid could only enter the main room, but they could only wipe the seats in the main hall and run chores. In her study and bedroom, only Close-fitting first-class Maid can enter.
Cheng Yujin sat at the table for a while, and suddenly remembered that Cheng Yuanjing gave her a bottle of ointment today.
She remembered asking Du Ruo to put it away at noon. Where was it?
Cheng Yujin went to Duobao Pavilion to look through it, and indeed found a porcelain bottle in a small drawer. She said that sentence today as a joke. Who knows, Cheng Yuanjing actually prepared something, but it was still medicine.
Injury medicine can not be given indiscriminately, usually prepared in advance. Cheng Yujin was a little curious and a little unconvinced, would someone like Cheng Yuanjing prepare medicine for others in advance?
She doesn't quite believe it. Cheng Yujin took off the medicine stopper and sniffed lightly. Cheng Yujin was originally thinking of defending others, but she didn't expect such a sniff to make her even more confused.
How did she feel that this bottle of medicine tasted the same as the one Cheng Min gave earlier? Cheng Yujin found out about Cheng Min and smelled it. Cheng Min's courteous Fu-ren wouldn't lie to her. This was obviously a royal medicine given by Shu-fei Niang-Niang. How could it be so similar to what Cheng Yuanjing brought?
The next day Cheng Yujin went to copy as usual, and she looked at Cheng Yuanjing full of inquiry. Cheng Yuanjing didn't talk much, and Cheng Yujin never said useless words. two of them often stayed in the house for an afternoon without disturbing each other, and each did his own thing.
Cheng Yujin thought that this person was quiet and self-disciplined, and it was comfortable to get along with, but at night, Cheng Yujin felt a little helpless.
For a few days, when she was free, Cheng Yuanjing called her "Cheng Yujin" unhurriedly, and then she had to bite the bullet and go back to practice calligraphy. During the few days Cheng Min stayed in Houfu, Cheng Yujin never found a chance to be alone with Xu Zhixian.
Cheng Yujin simply suspected that Cheng Yuanjing was deliberately messing with her, but then she thought, she didn't offend Cheng Yuanjing, and secondly, there was no conflict of interest with Cheng Yuanjing, wouldn't he be so boring? Maybe he was in a hurry to do He Shou embroidery, so he urged her to practice calligraphy.
Maybe she is the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Today, Cheng Yumo and Xu Zhixian were playing together, and Cheng Yujin stood at the door consciously, waiting for Cheng Yuanjing.
Don't worry, the old man shouted, she will come by herself.
After playing for a while, Xu Zhixian realized that Cheng Yujin was not there, and called across the room, "Jin Elder-Sister, where are you going?"
Cheng Yujin had put on her cape and moccasin boots and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back to practice calligraphy."
"Oh." Xu Zhixian responded dumbly, at this time Cheng Yuanjing had already come to him, Cheng Yujin hurriedly greeted Xu Zhixian, and chased Cheng Yuanjing out.
Xu Zhixian watched the two leave one after another, scratched his head after a long time, and muttered : "Jin Elder-Sister are really diligent. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I thought I could be with Jin Elder-Sister tonight. say something."
On the second day, Cheng Min took a car back to Duke house in Chang, and the servants of Duke house came to meet him at the second gate in person. Cheng Yujin stood behind the hanging flower gate with Grandmother, quietly watching Duke carriage go away.
It's good to have money and power, even the carriage is more stylish than Houfu, and Cheng Yujin's heart to marry into Gaomen is stronger. Getting married is the second reincarnation. She can't decide her parents, so she can only find a high-level man as much as possible. She was fed up with the feeling of being under the fence, and no one could stop her from going high.
Grand-Aunt went home, Cheng Dowager was reluctant, but the rest of the Cheng family breathed a sigh of relief. Grand-Aunt is here, no matter what they do, they have to be careful, holding little Guzi and the two children of the Xu family carefully. Ruan Shi returned to the yard, sat on the collapse, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's gone. It's really exhausting to walk with her these days. Dowager just moved his mouth, but the mother and daughter are happy. It's us who suffer."
Cheng Yumo climbed up and slammed Ruan Shi shoulder : "Mother, you have worked hard, my daughter will loosen your muscles and bones."
Ruan Shi was so moved by her daughter's actions that her eyes became sore : "My daughter is getting older, and she knows how to hurt people. Mother really didn't raise you in vain."
Maid on the side saw a gap and said said :
"My daughter is my mother's sweet little padded jacket. 2-Miss is already fourteen, and there will be more time to honor Madam in the future."
Ruan Shi nodded : "Yes, Mo'er will marry a good husband in the future. Not only will she be able to honor her parents, but she will also be able to support you Didi, which is much more worry-free than raising a son."
Cheng Yumo face was flushed when she was told, she turned around Spoiledly and said, "Mother, they gave you a good slap on the back, but you said these words. Besides, I will ignore you."
Ruan Shi and the dowry Maid both laughed, Cheng Yumo blushed at their laughter, climbed down and ran out. laughter inside was even louder. Cheng Yumo let the wind dissipate the enthusiasm on her face. Although she was ashamed, she couldn't help but think, it's been a month, why hasn't the Elder-Brother Zhang Yuan come to propose?
At the beginning, it was clearly agreed that after breaking off the marriage with Elder-Sister, he would come to marry her.
Even though Cheng Yumo believed Huo Chang Yuan, he was a little anxious now. Both Grandmother and her mother were looking for candidates for her. Most importantly, she heard from Xu Nianchun, and some people asked the Huo family about Huo Changyuan's marriage. If we don't rush to make an appointment, wouldn't she and Huo Chang Yuan have to go the same way in their previous lives again?
Cheng Yumo was restless here, but in Jingyong Houfu, Huo Xueshi perfunctory Huo Changyuan while looking at the daughters of other mansions.
In the world, the Cheng family is not the only one who has a daughter, and the one worthy of her son must be the most outstanding Miss. Cheng Yumo is not a serious Qianjin in Yichun Houfu. As soon as the old Marquis dies, the title will belong to her Dabo. What does it have to do with their family? Moreover, Cheng Yumo father's official position is not high, so he can be mediocre. In order to seduce Zhang Yuan and do such things, Huo Xueshi is unwilling to choose her as Erxi.
Huo Chang Yuan occasionally asked, and Huo Xue said that it was too soon, but in private, she had already selected other people.
Cheng Yujin didn't have the heart to pay attention to the affairs of the Huo family and Cheng Yumo. With her, Huo Changyuan was already a dead person. She has the next target husband in her eyes, and she also has the task of embroidering a screen in her hands. She has been copying Cheng Yuanjing's handwriting for half a month. Yesterday, Cheng Yuanjing finally opened his mouth and said that it was a bit like an image. Cheng Yujin asked Maid to move her embroidery frame out, and the needles will be moved in the next few days.
This screen is no trivial matter. Cheng Yujin's embroidery skills are excellent, but he still practiced for several days to ensure that Cheng Yuanjing's characters can be copied completely before dropping the needle carefully.
The screen for the emperor's birthday is not a big one, but a small screen. Cheng Yujin brought the embroidered corner to Cheng Yuanjing to see. Cheng Yuanjing raised his eyebrows in surprise : "You actually embroidered it yourself?"
"Of course." Cheng Yujin understood why Cheng Yuanjing said that, the "hands" of the master in the high gate compound was just a little bit of lip service, and in fact it was the servant girl below. Needlework is boring and difficult. Jiao Xiaojies can't bear the pain more and more. They even embroidered with Maid as a gift for their husband's family.
Old Cheng Marquis also meant this. And Cheng Yujin actually held the needle in person, no wonder Cheng Yuanjing was surprised.
Cheng Yujin said with a smile, "Since I have this name, I must do my best. embroiderers outside are not at ease, so I might as well come in person."
Cheng Yuanjing chuckled lightly, she was really confident. He gave Cheng Yujin a lot of face, and opened the semi-finished product to look at it. He didn't care about it at first. How old is Cheng Yujin, and she has learned a lot of skills. She has to try almost everything. In this case, how much needlework can be it is good.
But when Cheng Yuanjing's eyes touched the embroidery traces above, he was really surprised : "Double-sided embroidery?"
"Yes." Cheng Yujin added with a smile, "To be precise, it's double-sided embroidery."
Cheng Yuanjing had heard a little about double-sided embroidery. embroidery mother stitched the needles at one time, and embroidered the front and back sides at the same time. There was no thread at all, which was called double-sided embroidery. double-sided embroidery is even more powerful. When both sides are embroidered at the same time, the patterns on the front and back are still different.
Cheng Yuanjing was really impressed with Cheng Yujin. Double-sided embroidery requires at least several decades of embroidery skills to carefully arrange needles, which is extremely difficult. Therefore, there are only a handful of double-sided embroidery products on the market. few. double-sided embroidery is even more difficult. It can be called the highest embroidery technique. It is purely based on talent. No matter how many years of experience, it is impossible to say no. It's incredible that Cheng Yujin could embroider on both sides at such a young age.
Cheng Yuanjing took a good look at Cheng Yujin and said :
"No wonder."
No wonder she dared to say that embroidery was the best, and she came to hold the needle. Sure enough, there is this foundation.
Cheng Yujin didn't understand : "What?"
Cheng Yuanjing never said repeated words, he did not answer, and suddenly became curious : "Why do you embroider on both sides?"
"9-Shu probably forgot, my Mu-Grandfather's Fiefdom is in Jiangnan. This is the dowry that Mu-Grandfather carefully selected when my mother married the capital."
Cheng Yuanjing had an impression of Ning Wang. Ning Wang has been hereditary in Jiangnan for many years, and the person he married Di-Daughter is thought to be the highest embroidery girl in the area. Cheng Yujin had learned the most powerful skill of embroidery at the age of fourteen. Judging from her appearance, I am afraid she is even more powerful than her needlework master.
Cheng Yuanjing asked : "You can embroider on both sides, why have you never heard of it?"
With Cheng Yujin's calculating temperament, it should work until everyone knows it.
"That's not good. If they all knew I could embroider, wouldn't everyone come to me? I don't have a mother to stop me, so why do these things that harm myself and others?"
Cheng Yuanjing paused for a moment before laughing. Sure enough, she was still her, not by calculation, but by calculation.
A person like her can live a good life no matter who she marries in the future. He will be surprised when he has seen many tributes. Her husband in the future will see that she can embroider on both sides. Isn't he happy as if he found a treasure?
Cheng Yuanjing felt unhappy for some reason.
In March, Cheng Dowager's house was filled with people as usual. Qingfu sits at the small tea table with Cheng Enbao in his arms. Cheng Enbao is a four-year-old boy, and he is still in his arms all day long, walking without a hurry.
Ruan Shi was not as decent as Qing Fu. She stood beside Cheng Dowager and kept pulling the veil, looking a little restless. After a while, a young servant finally ran in outside, stopped far away from the threshold and kowtowed : "My little one, please say goodbye to Dowager! All Madam, all Shaoye and Miss are safe."
Ruan Shi eyes suddenly lit up, and even Qing Fu raised his head. Cheng Dowager was old and had the best qi training skills. Hearing this, he still asked calmly, "The dispatch order from 9-Master has come down?
"Rejoice, 9-Master has taken over the vacancy in the Ministry of Works and assigned it to Yu Heng, a Qing official in the Ministry of Works."
The female family members said "ah". Ruan Shi cared about this the most. She didn't understand the long list of official names. She only knew how to ask : "How many officials are you?"
"Positive 5-Grade."
"It's 5-Grade." Ruan Shi murmured, her mood was a little complicated. On the one hand, she was proud that Cheng Yuanjing's official position was only 5-Grade, and on the other hand, she was a little worried about the Cheng family. After all, Cheng Yuanjing is the person with the highest official position and the best future in Houfu. If he can't rise, then Yichun Houfu will only decline more and more.
No one in the room spoke except Ruan Shi, but there was no doubt that Ruan Shi had spoken the hearts of everyone. Cheng Min persuaded Cheng Dowager to use the money to make a relationship with Cheng Yuanjing. Cheng Dowager Lao-Da was not happy, but she rationally knew that Cheng Min was right. Cheng Dowager wanted to use this level to take advantage of Shu-son, so that he would know not to think that being an official would free him from the control of his motherzi. As a result, Cheng Yuanjing's order came down before Cheng Dowager finished putting on the air.
Zheng 5-Grade, still an official of the Ministry of Industry, Cheng Dowager was a little disappointed to hear this official position, but more of a dark feeling. It's not that this official position is not high, it's just that it's far from what everyone imagined.
The appointment of official positions is also very sequential. really smooth Qingyun Road is to be a jinshi, to enter the Hanlin, to endure a few years of hardship, and then to go to Shangzhou as a prefect. Those who can enter the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Personnel are the default cabinet scholars. After spending another seven or eight years in the six divisions, from serving as a minister to a minister, if there are no major mistakes during the tenure, you can enter the pavilion as a patriarch, die one, and move up one.
This is the ideal career resume for people in the world. If you don't get into the top two, it's better not to participate. Your career in the second half of your life is not destined to be high. If the first official of the Jinshi is not an honest official, and he doesn't enter the Hanlin, then the room for this person's promotion in the future is also very limited.
Xiang Cheng Yuanjing, who was transferred to the field after the palace test, was actually a high-ranking person and a low-ranking person. No wonder the Chang Duke House felt that the Cheng family did not manage and delayed the future of their children and grandchildren. Now that it was so easy to transfer back to Beijing, everyone was eagerly waiting for Cheng Yuanjing to study in a precious place such as the History Museum. As a result, they went to the Ministry of Industry.
Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Personnel is the head, followed by the Ministry of Household, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Works.
Cheng Dowager couldn't understand what Yu Heng was, but he only knew that Cheng Yuanjing had entered the poorest and most tiring Ministry of Works. According to her many years of life experience, if she did not become a Hanlin and entered the Ministry of Industry, she may be cut off from promotion in the future.
Cheng Dowager calmed down unknowingly and thought silently, what a boy 4-Grade, who was born in a jinshi, no matter how nice it sounds, it's not mediocre. Qingfu also thought the same as Cheng Dowager. She sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface. She laughed and shouted : "It's a good thing to be granted an official position. How many people have been idle in the capital for two or three years, and they can't be ranked as an official. Come on. Man, give a reward."
The little servant received the reward and went out happily. Cheng Yujin shook her head secretly when she saw the expressions of Qingfu and others. In order to accurately find potential stocks, she deliberately studied the official positions of the imperial court. more she knew, the better she could understand the way of changing official positions.
For example, this time, although Lang Zhongzheng's 5-Grade is lower than Cheng Yuanjing's 4-Grade when he was released, how can Beijing officials and external officials be the same. Even if it is a senior 2-Grade officer from other provinces, it is not the same to manage the capital during the New Years and holidays. In terms of power, it is not as good as the Beijing official 4-Grade.
Therefore, Cheng Yuanjing was transferred back to Beijing and successfully received the official position, which was an uncompromising promotion. He has entered six more departments. Although it is the lower engineering department, Yu Heng is in charge of the production of official stores in various places, the military expenditure, military supplies, arms manufacturing and accounting of various provinces, as well as smelting and casting money. This is an official with real power and the core. that set.
Although the place is small and unobtrusive, it is extremely important.
Cheng Yujin doesn't think Cheng Yuanjing has failed in his career, but since Cheng Dowager and Qingfu are willing to think so, what should she do. So Cheng Yujin also smiled and didn't speak.
However, it is still a happy event to be granted an official position. No one in the Cheng family has entered the six divisions before, and Cheng Yuanjing is still far beyond the average level of the Cheng family. Cheng Dowager pretended to regret with the two Erxi for a while, and then said :
"Promotions and demotions for officials are common, let 9-Master be calm, and don't let a single failure frustrate his enterprising spirit. After all, the old man is his first-mother, no matter what he is, I will always do my mother's duty. So, from public pays 100 Silver-Taels subsidy to 9-Master to hold a promotion banquet for him. As for who to invite and how to do it, let him decide for himself."
One hundred taels, Ruan Shi was speechless. Her monthly bill is only thirty taels of silver, and she is not like Qingfu. She has a dowry at an exorbitant price. She has to plan carefully to live decently. As a result, Cheng Dowager dialed one hundred taels to Cheng Yuanjing with a wave of his hand.
There is a huge difference between having an official position and not having an official position.
In March, the weather is gradually gentle, the flowerbeds are sprouting new green, flowers can be seen everywhere in the courtyard, and the female relatives are also changing into light spring shirts one after another.
In the Jinning Courtyard, Cheng Yujin was wearing a white top with embroidered golden begonias on the bottom edge, as if begonia flowers spread to the skirt. Her skirt was also the same color, with faint golden lines. Cheng Yujin sat in the embroidery room and pierced the needle vertically without damaging the embroidery thread on the reverse side. Her needle arrangement was well-proportioned, taking into account both sides. She embroidered another word, and made short stitches several times in a row, hiding the end of the thread so that the thread ends were not exposed on both sides.
Forsythia watched from the side, in awe. Cheng Yujin's embroidery works are few, but they are so exquisite that they can calm down the scene as soon as they are taken out, which is significantly different from ordinary embroidery work. Especially the one-handed double-sided embroidery is simply amazing. Forsythia admires it very much. Big-Miss has always done everything perfectly. As long as you do it with your hands, you must do your best. Even the embroidery movements are smooth and beautiful.
Seeing Cheng Yujin put down the needle, Forsythia quickly came up and rubbed Cheng Yujin's shoulder : "Miss, you've been embroidering for a while, rest your eyes."
"Yeah." Cheng Yujin responded and suddenly asked, "Is there a guest at 9-Shu today?"
"Yes, in the outer courtyard, I heard that Xu 2-Master is also here."
Cheng Yujin thought for a while and asked, "When did it start?"
Forsythia frowned and thought, she was quick-tempered, she had many Maid friends, and was usually in charge of inquiring about news. Forsythia recalled for a while and said, "It's been a while, about an hour ago."
Cheng Yujin nodded, stood up and said, "Let's go, I'm not sure about a word, go to the 9-Shu study to see how he wrote it."
Forsythia froze for a moment : "Miss, there is no one in the 9-Master courtyard now, are you still going?"
"Of course." Cheng Yujin said with a serious face, "What a big gift to the Holy One, how can we delay it. 9-Shu is not here, I'll just figure it out myself. Go and prepare some snacks, maybe 9-Shu has a drink and leave it to me He sobered up."
Forsythia was a little confused, Du Ruo lightly bumped her elbow, and she woke up like a dream and went outside to prepare cakes. Du Ruo can see clearly that the drunkard's intention is not the wine, Big-Miss has another plan.
Du Ruo understood in her heart, and without saying a word, she quickly picked up the needle and thread on the table and asked, "Miss, do you want to change?"
"No, I'm going to visit 9-Shu, it's better to be more homely." Cheng Yujin straightened her skirt and said with satisfaction :
"Let's go."
Cheng Yuanjing's yard was really empty. Cheng Yujin came to the study every day during this period, and the servants of Chenming Court knew her very well. servant asked if he could invite Cheng Yuanjing to come back, but Cheng Yujin said no, and sat in the east room by himself, took a pen and paper, and copied Cheng Yuanjing's words stroke by stroke.
After a while, footsteps sounded outside, and it was Cheng Yuanjing who came back. But listen to the voice, there are others.
The servant ran over and reported to Cheng Yuanjing : "9-Master, Big-Miss is inside and has been sitting for half an hour."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yujin appeared beside Duobao Pavilion and greeted Cheng Yuanjing with a smile : "9-Shu, you are back."
Cheng Yuanjing was a little dazed for a while, as if Cheng Yujin also belonged to this room and had been waiting for him to come back. Cheng Yuanjing quickly settled down and asked, "Why are you here? Why are you sitting alone?"
"I'm not sure how to write a word. I want to ask 9-Shu. Since you're not here, I'll sit here and wait for a while." Cheng Yujin walked out of Dongcijing and saw a few people behind Cheng Yuanjing. She froze for a moment, then looked at Cheng Yuanjing hesitantly : "9-Shu, this is."
Cheng Yuanjing's confused mind suddenly became clear. He glanced behind him. These people were young people he was optimistic about. After the banquet in front of him was over, he brought a few familiar people into the room to discuss. Those who can enter Cheng Yuanjing's eyes are young talents with good prospects.
The original purpose is here. He had been lowered his head just now, and he thought she was waiting for him.
Cheng Yujin got his wish and turned his attention to the guests behind Cheng Yuanjing. She originally expected that Cheng Yuanjing was a Jinshi in the 19th year of Jianwu, and there were only a few Jinshi in a year. Cheng Yuanjing has been out for many years, and now he has just returned. Taking advantage of the time of the appointment of officials, there should be many Jinshi of the same year to visit him. After the banquet, it is impossible for them to find another place to talk. Cheng Yujin came to Cheng Yuanjing's yard to gamble, and it turned out that she won the gamble.
Cheng Yujin was the first to notice the two young people, one was shy and smiling, the other was taciturn, and then saw that Xu Zhixian was also there, and the most disappointing was Huo Changyuan.
Xu Zhixian met her, Qi said :
"Jin Elder-Sister, why are you here?"
Cheng Yujin's eyes swept away from Huo Changyuan, and she was too lazy to give alms at all. She looked at Xu Zhixian with a beaming smile, and said, "2-Biao-Brother."
The fair and handsome young man smiled : "Yo, your family is interesting, why is one called Elder-Sister and the other Elder-Brother? Who is the elder?"
Cheng Yujin was waiting for this sentence. She looked at Cheng Yuanjing and asked, "9-Shu, who is this?"
Cheng Yuanjing looked at Cheng Yujin quietly, did she take him for a fool? Weighing the pork, and ran him here to pick it up?
Cheng Yuanjing was a little helpless to Cheng Yujin. He happened to bump into her when she broke off the marriage. He didn't understand the entanglement between her and Huo Changyuan, and he was too lazy to understand. But since she a stranger after retiring from the marriage, it's a good thing that she can think about it and actively look for the next spring.
Cheng Yuanjing saw that Cheng Yujin had bad intentions towards that noodle gongzi brother a few days ago. Cheng Yuanjing thought that the speed was quite fast. I heard that they were childhood sweethearts, cousins, and it was a good thing. As for whether it is a good thing for Xu Zhixian, it is unknown.
Cheng Yuanjing thought that this was the end of the matter, who would have thought that he was in his own territory again and saw Cheng Yujin plotting against the young man he was optimistic about. Cheng Yuanjing, as a man, felt a little complicated when he saw this kind of behavior.
Cheng Yujin stared at him with bright eyes, wishing to introduce herself by herself. Cheng Yuanjing was helpless and could only come forward : "This is niece, president."
Pointing to the two young people again : "This is Lin Qingyuan, the 1st-Scholar in the nineteenth year of Jianwu. This is Zou Cheng, who was a Jinshi in the same year."
It turned out to be 1st-Scholar! Cheng Yujin's eyes lit up for a moment, but she quickly covered it up again, and greeted Lin Qingyuan and Zou Cheng with blessings : "It turned out to be Lang 1st-Scholar and Zou Jinshi, the little girl is disrespectful."
Lin Qingyuan smiled and declined, Cheng Yuanjing looked at it and said :
"Okay, let's sit down and talk."
Among the few people, Xu Zhixian was a relative of the Cheng family. After the front disbanded, he went directly to the family house and knew the way. Lin Qingyuan, Zou Cheng and Cheng Yuanjing knew each other very well, and it was not rash to enter the other party's house, and Huo Changyuan wanted to marry Cheng Yumo, so he followed suit. With the elder Cheng Yuanjing there, Cheng Yujin's presence here is not rude, everyone took their seats, Cheng Yujin quickly reviewed the situation, and then asked Du Ruo to bring an embroidered pier and sit beside Cheng Yuanjing.
From the beginning to the end, she did not glance at Huo Chang Yuan.
Huo Chang Yuan wanted to befriend Cheng Yuanjing for the sake of the Xue family. Cheng Yuanjing is now short of manpower. It would be better to have one more military force. two of them tacitly did not mention the relationship of the Xue family. Fang Cai people didn't think that there were only a few people left now, and Huo Chang Yuan obviously felt a little uncomfortable.
Of course, the real source of the discomfort should be Cheng Yujin, who was sitting beside Cheng Yuanjing not far away.
At first, Huo Chang Yuan thought that Cheng Yujin was coming towards him. Huo Chang Yuan knew a little about Cheng Yujin. It might be accidental that others entered the place where the elders were entertaining guests, but Cheng Yujin would never. He subconsciously felt that Cheng Yujin regretted it, and took the opportunity to approach him.
Huo Chang Yuan should have felt troublesome after leaving his relatives, but his heart was quietly filled with a little joy.
However, Cheng Yujin didn't even glance at Huo Chang Yuan until he was seated. Huo Chang Yuan thought, she is a good way to play hard to catch. He looked at the suffocation that the two of them couldn't tell in the first part. Isn't she coming at him, why does she stick to Cheng Yuanjing everywhere? How long has it been since Cheng Yuanjing came back, when did Cheng Yujin become so familiar with Cheng Yuanjing?
Lin Qingyuan was very curious about this woman who could freely enter and exit Cheng Yuanjing's study, and he asked, "What are Cheng Big-Xiaojie doing in the study?"
Cheng Yujin said with a smile : "9-Shu taught me how to write. I couldn't write a single word, so I came to ask 9-Shu. I didn't expect 9-Shu to have guests. I'm sorry to bother you all. I'm going out. I brought some cakes at the time, if you don’t mind, please allow me to make amends.”
Cheng Yuanjing smiled lightly, the cakes were all ready, and he really came prepared.
Du Ruo brought out the plates of cakes that Cheng Yujin brought. There are not many pastries, there are only three pieces per plate, but they are exquisite in appearance and excellent in taste. Lin Qingyuan tasted a piece and praised said :
"Delicious. Which store pastry is this? I've never tasted it."
"Lin 1st-Scholar Mumbai, I did it myself."
Lin Qingyuan was even more surprised : "Cheng Big-Xiaojie is a Houfu Eldest-daughter, from a respectful background, yet he can still cook?"
Cheng Yujin showed some embarrassment : "I don't dare to do it. Grandmother has bad teeth and likes to eat soft pastries. I figured it out slowly."
Lin Qingyuan was amazed and praised Cheng Yujin. When Xu Zhixian heard it, he felt honored for some reason, and said :
"Not only that, Jin Elder-Sister is not only good at cooking, filial piety, but also proficient in Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a good needlework. My Big-Elder-Sister saw Jin Elder-Sister's embroidery pattern and was full of praise."
Xu Zhixian's Big-Elder-Sister is Shu-fei Niang-Niang, Cheng Yujin secretly praised Xu Zhixian's ability to answer, but still said modestly :
"I have nothing to do to pass the time. How can Biao-Brother say it is as good as what Biao-Brother said. Everyone here is a pillar of the court. Biao-Brother should not give me face and make 1st-Scholar and others laugh."
Cheng Yujin and Xu Zhixian talked and laughed naturally, and it could be heard that they had a good relationship. Huo Chang Yuan heard that he was in a complicated mood, so he could only quickly lower his head and drink tea, hiding the expression on his face. While drinking tea, Huo Chang Yuan caught a glimpse of Xu Zhixian's pastry being lotus cake, and the tea was scented tea. At the banquet, Xu Zhixian said that he likes light pastries, but tea likes sweet ones, and was ridiculed by everyone for gongzi disease. Unexpectedly, here I see who is used to Xu Zhixian's gongzi disease.
The refreshments are served on Cheng Yujin's Maid, it is self-evident whose hand these came from.
Cheng Yuanjing's insight was very good. He quickly noticed that Huo Chang Yuan was a little lost. He followed Huo Chang Yuan's line of sight and found that the refreshments on Xu Zhixian's table were different from theirs. Cheng Yuanjing understood for a moment, if Cheng Yujin really wanted to be nice to a person, it would be all-pervasive spring breeze and rain, like a fine net, which would make people sink into the mud before they knew it. Xu Zhixian didn't shy away from seeing that he was intimate with Cheng Yumo, but Cheng Yuanjing could see that as a man, a man who really cared about a person would never show an ugly appearance in front of her.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yuanjing suddenly realized that the cakes in his hand were different. cakes were shaped like leaves and tasted cool and refreshing, with a faint taste of bitter tea.
Yo, blatant bribery?
Because of his childhood, Cheng Yuanjing never touched food that had not been tested for poison when he was outside. He just took two pieces naturally. Did Cheng Yujin's custom-made dim sum really appeal to him, or did he let go of his vigilance against Cheng Yujin?
Cheng Yuanjing seemed to be aware of Cheng Yujin's existence for the first time. In the past, he always thought that he was a junior, and because he was young, he had no gender. She was divorced by her fiancé, she was angry, and did some very exciting things. child is ignorant, so Cheng Yuanjing tolerated her, just like Daren tolerated the child and spattered. Until this moment, Cheng Yuanjing realized that Cheng Yujin was fourteen years old, and she was a young and beautiful girl who could attract two men to secretly target her.
Cheng Yuanjing was silent, not knowing what he was thinking. Cheng Yujin had already inquired about Lin Qingyuan and Zou Cheng's net worth during this period of time. Zou Cheng is a child of a poor family. Since his young mother Kin-Mei-mei has worked hard to spin thread for him to study, Zou Cheng is also very good. Cheng Yujin was very moved by the mutual sacrifices of the Zou family members before, but that's all, she didn't want to be the wife of a noble son of a poor family.
And Lin Qingyuan's family background is much better.
Cheng Yujin calculated in her heart while listening to them. Lin Qingyuan's ancestral home was in Jinan, and his family was a famous local family. He inherited poetry and books and read for generations. However, there was no one in the court of Chang Duke. A pair of equals.
Lin Qingyuan is the eldest grandson of the 1st-Room, and his ancestral property will be left to him in the future, while Xu Zhixian is the 2-Fang Di-son. Although he is favored by Xu Dowager, once Xu Dowager dies, the 2-Fang will be moved from the public mansion. Going out has nothing to do with the family property of Chang Duke house, Lin Qingyuan is better than this.
Third, Lin Qingyuan is a 1st-Scholar, and has now entered the Hanlin as an editor and has a promising future, while Xu Zhixian is still in vain, let alone. In terms of personal future, Lin Qingyuan was completely crushed. However, Xu Zhixian has a gentle temperament, and she is cousins and sisters, and will be very easy to handle in the future, but Lin Qingyuan may not.
Cheng Yujin integrated family background, property, future, and personality, plus and minus, and found that Lin Qingyuan's score was higher. Very good, Cheng Yujin's future husband has changed.
After Cheng Yujin decided, she began to care about Lin Qingyuan quietly. Lin Qingyuan only felt that today's conversation was particularly pleasant, and he couldn't say why. Lin Qingyuan didn't notice it, but Huo Changyuan, a former client, and Cheng Yuanjing, who had a keen insight, felt it.
Huo Chang Yuan's mood was extremely indescribable. He just thought that Cheng Yujin was for him, but now he understands that Cheng Yujin has long been interested in other people, and he and the Huo family have thought too much. It is indeed Huo Chang Yuan's wish to break off the marriage, but seeing this situation with his own eyes is still unpleasant, extremely unpleasant.
As if watching his fiancee Hong Xing out of the wall.
Cheng Yuanjing took another sip of tea and found that the refreshments prepared by Cheng Yujin really appealed to him, and he didn't even show his preference in front of Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yuanjing thought back carefully and thought that the only time they overlapped was at the dinner table of several family banquets. Cheng Yuanjing, in the name of the ninth son of the Cheng family, is inappropriate if he doesn't go. Only in this place has he revealed what food he eats and what food he doesn't eat.
Unexpectedly, it was only a few short meals, or a feast for men and women, and she was actually observed.
If she really wants to be nice to a person, she will definitely make the other person have no resistance. Just like boiling a frog in warm water, the other party is getting more and more addicted, but the person who boils the water sees a better option and retreats when he says retreat.
She scolded Huo Chang Yuan for being ruthless and ruthless. In fact, she was the most heartless person.
Cheng Yuanjing was suddenly a little irritable, and this irritability startled him. He thought, after all, Lin Qingyuan is the young backup he is optimistic about, and when he returns to his position in the future, some of it will be used somewhere. Let Cheng Yujin continue to play, Lin Qingyuan and Huo Changyuan will inevitably have a rift, and it will be bad if they turn against each other.
So Cheng Yuanjing said lightly : "Cheng Yujin."
Cheng Yujin was stunned for a moment, then answered subconsciously : "9-Shu?"
"Which word did you spell wrong?"
"Ah?" Cheng Yujin reacted for a while, before realizing that the obvious reason for her appearance here was the question.
The others stopped talking and looked at them curiously when they saw this scene. Cheng Yuanjing stood up and said, "Come with me."
Cheng Yujin was reluctant, but Cheng Yuanjing was very powerful, so Cheng Yujin still followed Cheng Yuanjing obediently. Others were amazed when they saw this scene. Lin Qingyuan and Cheng Yuanjing were the most familiar and said to others with a smile :
"Jing Xing doesn't like being approached by others, especially he doesn't like others touching his things. I didn't expect that at home, he would be easy-going with niece, and he would go in and out of the study at will."
Zou Cheng nodded in agreement, and he was not happy when other people touched Cheng Yuanjing's things, but Niece could just sit and wait for him in his study. Sure enough, everyone has double standards, even Cheng Yuanjing is no exception.
Lin Qingyuan and Zou Cheng didn't understand the inside story of the Cheng family, Xu Zhixian was heartless to follow along, and the only one who felt wrong was probably Huo Changyuan.
Is Cheng Yujin such an obedient person? Will she stand in a place and wait for someone in person, and she will stand up obediently and follow after the other party says something casually?
If Cheng Yujin took it seriously, the two of them wouldn't break off their marriage.
Huo Chang Yuan had an inexplicable suspicion, this pair of uncles and nephews didn't seem right.
