Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 21

[Chapter 21 Birthday]

Cheng Yuanjing saw Cheng Yujin pick and choose, although he didn’t like this feeling very much, but he was not in a hurry.

Because Cheng Yujin only values the wealth of the other party’s family, Cheng Yuanjing has an inexplicable certainty in his heart.

If it’s just based on her status, it doesn’t matter who she chooses.

Cheng Yuanjing watched Cheng Yujin pull the powerful son-in-law back and forth, a bit like watching a child pick a toy.

But this time, Cheng Yuanjing realized very clearly that Cheng Yujin took it seriously.

The Lin family had no children before they could take concubines. Perhaps it was because of the strict family rules that the men of the Lin family were able to prosper from generation to generation, and there were many scholars.

If it was just Lin Qingyuan, or the Lin family behind him, it would not be enough to make Cheng Yujin die.

No matter what Cheng Yujin says, she will abandon it without hesitation when she encounters a better option.

But what about not taking concubines?

Cheng Yuanjing was not sure.

Cheng Yuanjing felt that his thoughts were very strange. What does Cheng Yujin have to do with him? It’s better for a man to be a married woman and a woman to marry. She chooses a future husband for herself, isn’t it better than a blind marriage?

And in all fairness, Lin Qingyuan is indeed a very good descendant, otherwise he would not have entered Cheng Yuanjing’s eyes.

As her nominal uncle, he should be happy for her.

But Cheng Yuanjing was just unhappy, and his heart was inexplicably irritable.

He restrained his sudden temper and looked up at the vast rain curtain outside the window.

Cheng Yuanjing suddenly realized that Cheng Yujin’s screen was embroidered, and she would have no reason to run to him every day in the future.

If it wasn’t for Cheng Yujin’s sudden whim to make Cheng Yujin embroider characters, the two of them would never have had an intersection.

Cheng Yuanjing was uncomfortable from the beginning, but gradually became accustomed to it.

As if everything had always been like this, he was reading a book on the desk, and as soon as he looked up, he could see Cheng Yujin sitting on the collapsed, carefully comparing the handwriting.

After hearing the family rule that the Lin family does not accept concubines, Cheng Yujin really took a look at Lin Qingyuan, and she also changed from “this person is in good condition and can be used as an alternative” to seriously thinking about marrying Lin Qingyuan.

Cheng Yujin grew up seeing the inner court fighting, she knew too well the difference between a concubine and a concubine.

No matter how smart and capable a woman is, once her husband is out and about and leads people one by one to the house, this woman will be ruined in this life.

Just like her mother, Princess Qingfu.

King Ning is powerful enough, and Qingfu’s family management skills are strong enough, but what’s the use? It’s still a backyard qi that has been haunted all day long without giving birth to children.

And Lin Qingyuan was alone in the capital, with no elders to supervise him, so he still kept himself clean and did not appoint a concubine.

This heart is stronger than having a fortune.

Cheng Yujin looked at the person in front of her seriously, as if it was the first time she saw Lin Qingyuan.

She really felt that marrying him would be a good thing.

As soon as Cheng Yuanjing lowered his head, he saw Cheng Yujin’s gaze towards Lin Qingyuan, and the inexplicable irritability in his heart came again.

Cheng Yuanjing suddenly said: “Cheng Yujin.”

Cheng Yujin raised her head and looked at him with clear eyes: “Ninth uncle?”

Cheng Yuanjing saw his own reflection in the pupil and found that he had no reason to leave her.

The female family members and the outer court had never met. If Lord Cheng hadn’t heard Cheng Yujin’s divorce, he would not have interfered in her upbringing.

“There is a travel journal on the bookshelf. You mentioned it last time. Take advantage of the quiet today, and go back and read the book.”

Cheng Yujin understood, Cheng Yuanjing thought she was sitting here disturbing his conversation with his friends, so she was distracting her.

Cheng Yujin gave Cheng Yuanjing a sneaking glance, and saluted Cheng Yuanjing lightly: “Uncle Xie, your niece is retiring. Lin Bianxiu sits slowly, I’ll go first.”

Lin Qingyuan was a little surprised: “I’m leaving now? It’s raining outside, be careful to be caught Wet.”

Cheng Yujin looked at Lin Qingyuan and smiled, her eyes were like crescent moons, and the spring flowers were blooming: “Lin Zhuangyuan, the rain has stopped outside.”

Lin Qingyuan looked out and found that the rain stopped at some point.

He smiled: “I didn’t pay attention, but you are a woman, you still have to pay attention to the cold.”

After Cheng Yujin left, Lin Qingyuan casually sighed with Cheng Yuanjing: “Your eldest niece is smart and beautiful, and she is very comfortable to get along with. I don’t know who has good fortune and can marry her in the future.”

Lin Qingyuan turned back and was taken aback: “Why do you look at me with such eyes?”

Cheng Yuanjing had long since lost his interest, and it didn’t take long for him to send Lin Qingyuan out.

After everyone left, the room returned to silence.

Cheng Yuanjing looked at the sitting collapsed in the study, the two sets of pen and ink on the table, and the travel notes on the bookshelf, and suddenly realized that the layout of his room had changed a lot, and Cheng Yujin’s shadow could be seen almost everywhere in the space.

Cheng Yujin heard that the screen had been mounted, and went to Cheng Yuanjing’s house to see it.

When she saw the finished product, she gave a heartfelt compliment: “Excellent, it looks much better than just embroidered.”

People rely on clothes and horses on saddles, and the ancient teachings don’t deceive me. Even a screen is completely different when it is framed.

Cheng Yuanjing asked people to put away the things and asked, “I heard that the Marquis is not in good health these few days, how is he?”

“It’s still the same

way .

Both of them felt heavy about the old man’s illness.

Two days ago, when the imperial doctor came to see a doctor, he suggested that the Cheng family should prepare the shroud earlier.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion was tacitly aware that Old Master Cheng probably wouldn’t live long.

“How can you get wind?” Cheng Yuanjing sat on the chair and asked.

Cheng Yujin followed to the other side and sat down naturally: “It’s not because the weather is getting warmer, my grandfather was greedy for the cold, so he left the window wide open. As a result, the climate changed greatly at the turn of spring and summer, and he caught a cold.”

Cheng Yuanjing frowned, Cheng Yujin saw Immediately said: “It’s not that we didn’t persuade him, but Uncle Ninth also knows the character of grandfather. Unless you say this, it’s useless for us to say anything.”

Cheng Yuanjing sighed: “I know, I will go there in the next few days.

Look at him.”

Cheng Yuanjing was very busy during this period of time, Cheng Yujin, a boudoir girl who didn’t contact the outer courtyard, knew that Cheng Yuanjing was very busy, so she almost left after going home.

Cheng Yujin was curious and asked, “Ninth uncle, what are you busy with these days?”

“I’m checking Yuhengsi’s dossier records in previous years.”

Cheng Yujin felt wrong when he heard this: “Isn’t the dossier going to be kept on file all the time? You can check it whenever you want. Why is Ninth Uncle in such a hurry?”

Cheng Yuanjing glanced at her admiringly. , the response ability is good.

“I will be transferred next month. Once transferred, Yu Hengsi’s file cannot be viewed at will, so I have to read it now.”

Cheng Yujin’s eyes widened: “transfer? Why transfer? Ninth uncle should not travel for business. ”

It’s just a normal selection.” Cheng Yuanjing replied casually.

He never had the habit of explaining to others, but when he saw Cheng Yujin’s eyes, he added in a ghostly way: “It’s not a big deal in the Tuntian Division and in the Ministry of Engineering.”

Cheng Yujin was skeptical, and the most important thing for an official is stability. Some people are mixed with six and twenty-four divisions?

Cheng Yuanjing had to be transferred out after only two months in Yu Hengsi. Judging from this situation, it seemed that he had to go through all six rounds.

Cheng Yujin didn’t know what was going on. She was afraid that there was something hidden in it. If she accidentally stepped on it, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for both parties.

Cheng Yujin quickly changed the subject and asked briskly, “Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, can Ninth Uncle have any arrangements?

” ”

How can you say that?” Cheng Yujin was unhappy, “Dragon Boat Festival is the day to ward off evil spirits and toxins, and on this day, evil spirits can be warded off and you can be healthy for the whole year.

” Laughing, “I was born on this day, and I am the evil of five or five. There is no evil that can be eliminated, no poison can be eliminated.”

Cheng Yujin suddenly choked, and May was considered unlucky, also known as the evil month.

Many elderly people believe that children born in May will not be well-raised and will bring bad luck to the family.

Cheng Yuanjing was born on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, isn’t it…

Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, when every family makes great fanfare to eliminate the five poisons and sweep away the disease and filth, how uncomfortable he must be.

Cheng Yujin was silent, unable to speak for a long time.

Cheng Yuanjing didn’t seem to care about this. Everyone said that he would not live long. For this matter, the Queen Mother specially invited a high-ranking monk to come to the palace to cast spells to exorcise evil spirits.

Too bad he didn’t live to adulthood yet.

He didn’t die from dystocia at birth, he didn’t die from typhoid fever when he was two years old, and he still didn’t die from “natural disasters” when he was five years old.

Cheng Yuanjing was thinking about it when someone suddenly grabbed his hand.

Cheng Yuanjing lowered his head and saw Cheng Yujin took out a five-color silk thread and wrapped it around his wrist: “In May, mosquitoes recover, diseases are rampant, children are weak and most likely to die from illness, so the old people say that May is unlucky. It’s the same month, there’s nothing lucky or unlucky. If you wrap a long life cable around your hand, you won’t be able to pull it off.”

Cheng Yuanjing didn’t expect someone to dare to tie something to him, and he subconsciously wanted to smoke after he reacted. The hand was held by Cheng Yujin again: “Don’t move. The longevity request must be fastened firmly, or it will fall, and the Subaru Star Officer will not be able to tell the difference.”

After the fastening, Cheng Yujin smiled and showed it to Cheng Yuanjing: “The more It is a life that is not expected, the more it is broken and unyielding. You see, the longevity cable is fastened, and the ninth uncle can live to a hundred years of long life.” The

more unexpected life, the more unbending.

Cheng Yuanjing looked at Cheng Yujin’s smiling face, and was suddenly hit by something in his heart.

They are all unexpected lives, looking at the radiance, in fact, no one cares about their life and death.

When he saw Cheng Yujin, he seemed to see his fourteen-year-old self through time.

From the crown prince, to the outer chamber child who can’t see the light.

From the prince of a country, to having to get out of the imperial examination.

Cheng Yuanjing’s brows and eyes slowly opened with a smile: “Okay, I’ll borrow your auspicious words.”

By your auspicious words, he will return to the East Palace and take back what belongs to him. He will live a hundred years and see the collapse of the Yang family with his own eyes. The arrival of the Qingming era.

The Qianqiu Festival is getting closer and closer, and the capital is obviously restless, and there are people looking for a way everywhere.

The Ministry of Rites carefully tested a sentence. The emperor was still indifferent to Guoshou, saying that he should not waste the people and waste money, just treat it as an ordinary day, and it is enough to have a family banquet in the palace.

The emperor said that big things were not allowed, and the people below did not dare to disobey, and they did not dare to be overtaken by others at such a time, so they put all their energy into congratulating the gift.

The Cheng family’s gift list has been handed to the palace, and the men are uneasy, but the change in the outer courtyard will not shake the female relatives.

The female relatives are concerned about other things.

“Miss, the big thing is bad!” Mrs. Zheng ran over panting, not knowing whether she was tired or angry, but she couldn’t even say a word, “Huo’s family…the Huo’s family has come to propose to the second lady!”
