Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 39

[Chapter 39 Restraint]

Cheng Yujin couldn’t guess the thoughts of the superiors, so she stopped guessing.

Cheng Yujin found out that Cheng Yuanjing was very good at nourishing his qi. Mount Tai collapsed in front of his eyes and didn’t move. He couldn’t tell his true thoughts just by looking at his expression.

However, ignorance is also fearless. Anyway, Cheng Yujin couldn’t guess anything, so he simply said something, very calm: “Ninth uncle, do you think this purse is worth it?”

Cheng Yuanjing nodded: “Well.”

Cheng Yujin blinked and looked at Cheng Yuanjing: “Can the little girl ask you one thing?”

Cheng Yuanjing thought to himself, and sure enough, he is waiting for him here.

It was sending food and purse, so I knew she had something to plan.

Cheng Yujin came to beg him directly, but Cheng Yuanjing didn’t care at all, he said casually: “What do you want, say it.”

Cheng Yujin smiled and poured a cup of tea for Cheng Yuanjing: “Ninth uncle, you gave me ten hectares of land earlier. , I am very grateful, in addition to my grandfather’s three shops. However, I don’t know where Jinling is located, and I don’t know where the shops are. Although there is an account book, but I don’t know the situation, and there is no one under my command, so I can’t guarantee it. People won’t collude and make false accounts to fool me. But I don’t want them to go to the Hou’s Mansion to report. If there are too many people, they will intervene in the shop during the period of filial piety. Outsiders will say that my filial piety is not sincere. My mother and grandmother will be disturbed when the housekeeper enters the mansion. I don’t want to worry about my elders. Besides, some things are secretly given to me by my grandfather. I can’t bear to make my grandmother suspicious of my grandfather because of myself. I can’t live up to the kindness of my elders, does ninth uncle say so?”

Cheng Yuanjing looked at her and thought to himself, didn’t he just want to sneak in these three shops? She could find herself such a high-sounding reason.

Cheng Yuanjing asked, “What are you trying to say?”

Cheng Yujin thought very well, His Royal Highness did not refute her words, indicating that the reasons she gave were very rigorous.

Cheng Yujin continued to lay the groundwork: “The little girl grew up in the inner house, and she sees maids and old ladies every day, and she is not familiar with household affairs. It stands to reason that I have not married yet, so these foreign affairs should be handled by the elders. But after all, this is a piece of kindness from my grandfather, and the elders give it to me. Don’t dare to say no, if I don’t manage well, I will fail the love of the elders. I want to share the worries for the elders, but unfortunately my aptitude is dull and I don’t know anything about the account book…”

Cheng Yuanjing listened patiently, and finally couldn’t bear it anymore, said: “Ten words Finish talking within that time.”

Cheng Yujin’s voice froze, she looked at Cheng Yuanjing, pursed her lips, and said quickly, “please Ninth Uncle take me to the store.”

Ten words, not many words, not many words.

Cheng Yuanjing glanced at her: “You can finish in one sentence, why is there so much nonsense.”

Cheng Yujin rolled her eyes secretly.

She is used to occupying the moral high ground in everything she does. Although she is selfish, self-interested, and suspicious, and wants to secretly take advantage of Cheng Laohou Ye’s property, she must be reasonable.

If you want to be morally impeccable, you must take into account all aspects, and you must speak well.

This is not an easy task, Cheng Yujin needs to pave the way for a long time.

However, Cheng Yuanjing is impatient, and people can finish the cause and effect in one sentence. When Cheng Yujin meets him, he is like a scholar and a soldier, and he is often very angry.

But who told this to be the prince? Cheng Yujin was obviously angry, but she still kept smiling and said, “Ninth uncle said yes. The little girl has no one in the house and doesn’t know what’s going on outside. Even if she wants to take a look in person, she can’t go out. The ninth uncle is different. The ninth uncle is a high school jinshi. Over the years, he has cared about the hardships of the people, he is familiar with the people’s livelihood, and he has a heart and soul. No matter whether he is in business or officialdom, whether it is true or a lie, he can see the truth at a glance. Knowing the world and not being deceived by the world, it is a blessing for me to have a ninth uncle.”

Cheng Yujin said, and found that Cheng Yuanjing was looking at her.

She paused, couldn’t help touching her face, and asked, “Why does Uncle Jiu look at me like this?”

Cheng Yuanjing said lightly, “It’s a pity that you don’t become an official.”

“What?”

“It’s full of lies and empty talk.”

Cheng Yujin said in her heart that this is your imperial court.

Cheng Yujin’s smile remained unchanged, and she said, “Where, the court is full of talented people, Haiyan Heqing, all the adults are like Wei Zheng and Bao Zheng, it is the sign of the prosperous era.”

Cheng Yuanjing had a cold face, but he couldn’t bear to hear this. Live smiling.

He glanced at her with a smile, reached out and tapped her forehead with a smile in his eyes.

Cheng Yujin dutifully acted as the greedy minister beside Mingjun. Seeing that Cheng Yuanjing was in a good mood, she asked: “Ninth uncle, then I…”

Cheng Yuanjing stood up and said, “Don’t you just want to go out and take a look at your own shop? You can say so much nonsense. Let’s go.”

Cheng Yujin is not easy to go out. If she wants to go out, she has to ask Qingfu County Master for instructions. Qingfu agrees, and then she goes to ask Old Madam Cheng for instructions.

In this way, I had to explain where I was going and what I was going to do this trip. In the end, the whole government knew about it.

The matter of money is particularly eye-catching. Cheng Yujin didn’t want to tell others, but if she wanted to go out secretly, she had to rely on a man to take her out.

Cheng Yujin’s father is unreliable, and her biological brother can be said to be none. After counting, she can only count on Cheng Yuanjing.

Fortunately, it was difficult for Cheng Yujin to go out, but Cheng Yuanjing was very convenient.

He only needs to tell his own people to prepare the car, and all the itineraries are not in the hands of others, and he doesn’t even have to explain it to anyone.

Cheng Yujin sat in the carriage, listened to the carriage driving out of the gate, and sighed leisurely, in this world, men are really much freer.

With Cheng Yuanjing as a guise, they went all the way unimpeded, and soon reached Xuanbeifang.

Xuanbeifang is close to the six departments of the imperial court, and it has always been a gathering of dignitaries and nobles.

At this moment, the main street is full of BMW incense cars, pedestrians are woven, and many officials and eunuchs are accompanied by domestic servants or husbands to choose things, but Cheng Yujin does not seem abrupt.

It was rare for her to go out alone. In the past, even when she went shopping, she followed Qingfu, Ruan Shi and others. Cheng Yujin had to pay attention to her every move. mean.

But now it is different. She is the only female family member in the carriage. Cheng Yuanjing is just pretending and doesn’t bother to worry about it. Cheng Yujin is no longer polite. .

She is not in a hurry to see her own shop. She may not have such an opportunity next time. She has to find out the price now.

Cheng Yujin went to several jewelry stores, clothing stores, and fabric stores all the way. She didn’t buy it, but just looked at the quality of the fabric, asked the price, and compared it in her heart.

Others saw that Cheng Yujin came into the store frequently, but none of them were sold. Liu Yi, who was accompanying him, couldn’t help but ask, “Miss, what do you fancy, the servant will bring it to you.”

Cheng Yujin also looked at him strangely: “Why do you want to buy it? ?”

Liu Yi was involved in the court in the early years, and later became a hidden person. Over the years, he has come into contact with all the dignitaries and nobles, and he is also accustomed to the attitude of the ladies in the palace competing with each other and spending a lot of money.

According to the thinking raised in the palace, he saw that Cheng Yujin only saw that she couldn’t buy it, thinking that she didn’t have enough money in her hand.

To be a slave is to think about the master’s inability to think, to say that the master can’t tell, this trip must have been paid by His Highness, and these small money His Highness has not seen it.

Liu Yi euphemistically offered to help Cheng Yujin bring something, but Cheng Yujin’s reply immediately blocked Liu Yi.

Liu Yi paused for a few moments strangely, and asked, “Isn’t the eldest girl here to relax on the street today?”

“Yes.” Cheng Yujin also looked at him with a very strange look, “Shopping is shopping, and then You don’t have to buy anything.”

Liu Yi was shocked, unable to understand such logic for a long time.

After all, he is a man. The ladies in the palace have lived in the Forbidden City for many years, and they will never enter the folk after entering the palace, so Liu Yi really doesn’t know how women go shopping.

Cheng Yujin and Liu Yi were talking here. On the other side, Forsythia saw something interesting and hurriedly called Cheng Yujin over.

Cheng Yujin rarely went out, and this opportunity was not easy, so she generously brought both maids with her.

Du Ruo and Forsythia seldom have the freedom they have today. They quickly broke free and happily threw themselves into the joy of shopping.

Liu Yi watched helplessly as the female family members, who usually walked half a street without leaving the door, were in high spirits and showed no signs of fatigue. Liu Yi didn’t know what to say, so he could only be silently in admiration.

Cheng Yujin went to another jewelry store. The accessories in this store are not expensive, but they are more colorful and more lively than the hairpin rings in Hou’s mansion.

Cheng Yujin was satisfied, she just stepped on the carriage when she heard Forsythia make a surprised “Huh”.

Forsythia pointed to the dazzling fabric inside, turned back and asked Cheng Yujin: “Girl, when did you buy these back?”

Cheng Yujin frowned when he saw it: “It’s not me.”

After speaking, Cheng Yujin thought of it.

She glanced out through the car curtain, and saw Cheng Yuanjing sitting on the horse, holding the reins with one hand, and controlling the horse to walk in the crowd with ease.

Because both of them need to observe filial piety, Cheng Yuanjing also wore white clothes today, but he used white brocade jacquard satin.

This kind of fabric is bright in color, with dark patterns of cloud cranes woven on both the inside and outside. Although the color is light, it is more expensive than the woven gold fabric of bright red and yellow.

The streets were bustling, with the noise of the people and the shouting of hawkers one after another. Cheng Yuanjing, dressed in white, was clearly separated from the surrounding environment.

Even in such an environment, he is still noble and elegant, as if he were in a golden palace.

Seemingly aware of the sight, Cheng Yuanjing looked up accurately, and Cheng Yujin quietly lowered the curtain.

Seeing Forsythia, she asked tentatively, “Girl, these things…”

Cheng Yujin glanced back and said, “Since the ninth uncle is interested, then we can just accept it.”

Just kidding, some people are willing to spend money, and Cheng Yujin pays them back .

Will you push out the money you get?

Impossible, don’t even think about it.

Cheng Yujin thought that the elder did not dare to resign, and accepted it without any struggle in her heart.

The carriage continued to move forward. There were many people on the street.

Taking advantage of this time, Cheng Yujin turned over the things on the carriage, and found that she had touched several pieces of fabric in it for a while, or had inquired a few words with the shop assistant.

She didn’t plan to buy it at first, but Cheng Yuanjing noticed that everything she touched was packed directly.

Cheng Yujin couldn’t help but have some complicated emotions. Cheng Yuanjing was willing to take her out in her own name, and Cheng Yujin was already very satisfied. She never thought that the crown prince would accompany her to go shopping.

Cheng Yuanjing was terrified enough to come to her in person, how could she dare to hope that Cheng Yuanjing would accompany her from store to store.

Cheng Yujin originally thought that Cheng Yuanjing would leave sooner, but he didn’t expect that he would wait patiently. She was looking inside, but he stopped outside the store and waited, walking and stopping all the way, without urging her once.

This is rare enough, and the result is more than that. Although he didn’t come in, he noticed her behavior and bought all the things she asked and touched.

Cheng Yujin, a person with no conscience, feels sorry at this moment.

She put down the curtain, and across the carriage, there was a lot of noise from the outside world, but for some reason, Cheng Yujin could accurately identify the sound of another person’s hooves from the messy voice.

Tuk Tuk Tuk, the rules are crisp and unhurried.

Cheng Yujin felt at peace in her heart, she couldn’t help thinking that in the future when the prince returned, he would definitely become a very kind monarch.

Reasonable and benevolent, strong and restrained.
