Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 15

[Chapter 15 Teaching Words]

The next day, Cheng Yujin went to greet Mrs. Cheng early in the morning.

The maid welcomed her in, and the heat of the earth dragon rushed to her face.

While helping Cheng Yujin take off her cloak, the maid said: “Last night, the old lady left Er Xu and a few girls to stay in the main room, and now they are still sleeping in the biscuit closet. The old lady was afraid that Er Xu would catch cold, so she asked her to take her to bed. The earth dragon is burning hot. The eldest girl may not be used to the heat just after coming in from outside, so just wait a bit.”

Cheng Yujin nodded: “I understand. Who else is there except the second cousin? There is only one bed in the Bisha closet. , can you sleep?”

“Cheng Li, Er girl and Si Biao girl sleep on the same bed, and one person can sleep on the kang bed in the Nuan Pavilion. Yesterday, the second master was making a fuss about going to the Bisha closet, and we laughed a lot. It’s in the warm pavilion.”

Cheng Yujin knew that the cousins were in the same room, and although Mrs. Cheng was watching, they were too close.

She rolled her eyes, withdrew her expression, nodded to the maid and smiled: “Sister Lao. Has grandmother woke up?”

“The old lady has already woken up. It’s just that Second Master Xu slept late yesterday and hasn’t woken up yet.”

Cheng Yujin’s forward footsteps stopped suddenly: “Second cousin is still asleep?” The

Nuan Pavilion is a small single room separated from Mrs. Cheng’s bedroom. The surrounding walls are hollowed out. In winter, the heat circulates day and night, and it is as warm as spring. It is called the Warm Pavilion.

That is to say, if Cheng Yujin went into the inner room to greet Mrs. Cheng, 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 the second cousin is inconvenient, I’ll wait.”

The maid inside saw the eldest girl 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 the maid say, “The eldest girl 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 made the arrangements properly, he was willing to come out and say hello to Cheng Yujin: “Sister Jin… uh, hello cousin.” The

maids laughed when they saw this scene, and joked: “Second master, it is obvious that the eldest girl It’s a girl’s house, why are you blushing like a big girl who got on a sedan chair for the first time.”

Xu Zhixian blushed when he was told, and he saw Cheng Yujin also pursed his lips and smiled, not knowing why he was so embarrassed, he snorted. He ran out: “I’ll go outside and look cold. You guys go ahead and say goodbye to the ancestors.”

The news from outside had already reached Mrs. Cheng. She came out of the bed like a small house. Cheng Yujin saw that, He quickly went to help Mrs. Cheng.

The maid had already prepared the water, Cheng Yujin reached out and probed it. The temperature of the water was suitable, and it could be seen that it was always warm on the stove.

Cheng Yujin handed Mrs. Cheng a handkerchief, and from time to time did some light and conspicuous work, waiting for Mrs. Cheng to wash.

Madam Zhang, who was dowry with Mrs. Cheng, praised her: “The eldest girl is really filial. The daughters-in-law of other people who have been in the house for more than ten years are not as meticulous and considerate as the eldest girl.”

Cheng Yujin smiled: “Serving the elders is my blessing.”

Zhang When she heard Cheng Yujin’s words, her smile became brighter and brighter. She thought to herself, there were two girls 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. The old lady got up, obviously unaware.

Not to mention the girls, the two daughters-in-law, Mrs. Cheng, have not arrived yet.

People and people are really one-to-one.

Last night, Miles Yumo slept with the old lady, and Ruan hurried to chase after her early in the morning, wanting to see how her 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.

Nguyen’s expression suddenly felt a little wrong.

Mrs. Cheng glanced at Mrs Ruan and said coldly, “Come on.”

Mrs Ruan’s face was very difficult, and she was most afraid of being compared with others. Her daughter-in-law couldn’t compare to her granddaughter?

Ruan Shi didn’t even bother to visit her daughter in the Bisha closet in the west, so she quickly rolled up her sleeves and squeezed up to wait on Mrs. Cheng’s washing.

The place is only so big, Ruan shi squeezed over, many people were blocked, Cheng Yujin took a step back in time, and gave the space to Ruan shi.

In the eyes of outsiders, Mammy Zhang secretly praised the atmosphere.

Cheng Yujin watched Mrs Ruan scrambling to twist the handkerchief and mouthwash for Madam Cheng. After all, she might as well be a maid who was used to it. The water was cold and hot for a while, and Madam Cheng was counted down several times by Madam Cheng.

There are so many maids around, Madam Cheng is not happy, and Ruan’s 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 the maid to twist the veil, and then she naturally reached out to take it and handed it to Mrs. Cheng, and the maid would take care of her in the future.

In this way, Cheng Yujin did nothing, but it seemed very important and indispensable.

A person like Nguyen 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.

Mrs. Cheng finally finished cleaning up, at this time Ruan was exhausted physically and mentally from the tossing.

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, “Miss, why didn’t my sister-in-law come?”

Ruan shi couldn’t explain why she asked such a question.

When Cheng Yujin was very young, Mrs Ruan knew that Cheng Yujin didn’t know who was her best mother, but the inexplicable malice in her heart made Mrs Ruan speak again and again, quietly provoking the relationship between Cheng Yujin and Qingfu County Master .

If Cheng Yujin’s life is not good, Ruan’s will feel distressed, but Cheng Yujin’s life is good, and she and Qingfu are like mother and daughter, and it will make Ruan’s heart burn, and she will be jealous.

Forsythia’s expression was not very good. If she asked her to say that the second wife’s behavior was simply necrotic, she couldn’t look at the big girl!

The eldest maid was full of indignation, but Cheng Yujin herself was very calm. Her heart had already become invincible, but she could still smile at Ruan: “Mother has to take care of her father and her third brother, and she will not be able to leave for a while. So Mother asked me to perform filial piety on her behalf and serve her grandmother.”

Look at what she said, and Cheng Yujin didn’t answer why Qingfu County Master didn’t come, but only said that Qingfu wanted to take care of Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Enbao. Coax old lady Cheng happy.

In Mrs. Cheng’s eyes, of course, her son and grandson are the most important. The daughter-in-law serves her son, which makes Mrs. Cheng feel comfortable.

Mrs. Cheng smiled with satisfaction. When she got up, she glanced at Shi Ruan. Shi Ruan was so frightened that she lowered her head and did not dare to breathe.

Mrs. Cheng walked to the Dongci room and asked, “How about the other children?”

“Lao Madam, the second girl and the second master Xu are washing their faces in the green gauze closet. Miss Nian said that there is no powder she is used to here. The

auntie’s hair has been combed again in the courtyard.”

Not to mention outsiders, Ruan’s own mother wanted to shake her head when she heard it, at the same age, Cheng Yumo and Xu Nianchun were childish, and the elders had been awake for so long and didn’t come to greet them, and they went out on their own. dress up.

In contrast, Cheng Yujin is simply not as sensible as a little girl.

Ruan Shi couldn’t see it, and secretly asked the maid to go to the Bisha closet to call Cheng Yumo over.

Cheng Yumo and Xu Zhixian walked over with their hair loose in a bun, and said hello in unison, “Old Ancestor.” Madam

Cheng nodded, and she said, “The three of you grew up together, it’s not that you are better than siblings, you don’t have to be there. I’m waiting here, go to Baoxia and play by yourself.”

Xu Zhixian gave a cheerful “hey”, Cheng Yujin noticed that Mrs. Cheng was deliberately creating opportunities for them, and it was hard to say which one was creating opportunities for them. .

It stands to reason that this kind of timing is impossible to ask for, but Cheng Yujin paused for a while, but still reluctantly gave up: “Grandma, I’m afraid I can’t.”

Mrs. Cheng wondered: “What?”

Cheng Yujin said, “My grandfather asked me yesterday to learn from Uncle Jiu. write.”

Mrs. Cheng was even more strange: “What are you doing with these?”

“The Qianqiu Festival is coming soon, and my grandfather wanted to send a screen to the saint to celebrate his birthday, and asked his granddaughter to embroider. So I’m afraid I have no time to spare these days. I have to go and learn to write with Uncle Ninth.”

The silence in the main room was even worse than usual, the gift for the emperor’s birthday was so honorable that Cheng Yujin actually gave it to Cheng Yujin to hold the needle.

This is the dignity of the daughters-in-law of Qing Fu, Ruan, and even Mrs. Cheng.

Ruan Shi and Mrs. Cheng were in a complicated mood, Xu Zhixian and Cheng Yumo looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

No matter how ignorant they are, they know that Cheng Yujin’s treatment is no small matter, higher than their mother.

Finally, Mrs. Cheng said, “Since it was Lord Hou who spoke, then 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.

” However, he saluted and left, “Grandmother, second aunt, I’ll go ahead.”

After coming out, Forsythia was excited and whispered, “Miss, you didn’t see the faces of the second and old madams just now. Our maiden’s decency is theirs. Can you compare? Don’t say compare, I’m afraid the second wife will not dare to think about it.”

“Okay.” Cheng Yujin drank the 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 with Mrs. Cheng, 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: “Ninth uncle got 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 Uncle Jiu?”

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 his pen with his eyes and said, “Write a word first.”

Cheng Yujin wanted to underestimate who. 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.
