Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 43

[Chapter 43]

Nguyen’s face was pale, and Madam Cheng glanced at her threateningly, as if deliberately reminding her, and said, “It’s the most taboo thing to do when you don’t know what to do. That’s all. What I fear most is not knowing my identity and harming others. The second family, do you understand?”

Mrs. Ruan understood the reminder behind Mrs. Cheng. Of course she understood that she had given birth to twins as early as possible. , but when the old lady chose a strong one for her sister-in-law, when she was weak after giving birth and couldn’t help crying when she thought of her child, when she secretly went to see Cheng Yujin, she was ridiculed by the mother of the Princess Qingfu. Nguyen understood this at the time.

Cheng Yujin was born to her, but she did not belong to her. Only Mo’er was completely devoted to her mother.

Later, when the two children grew up, Mo’er gradually became able to sit, crawl, walk, and speak. All of Ruan’s mind was attracted to Cheng Yumo, and it was difficult to separate her energy from thinking about her eldest daughter.

Later, there were two sons, Cheng Enci and Cheng Enbei, and Ruan’s family couldn’t take care of Cheng Yujin.

Only when Madam Cheng greeted her and saw Cheng Yujin following behind the Qingfu County Master, would Mrs. Ruan be surprised. Ah, it turns out that Cheng Yujin has grown so much.

Before she knew it, this girl had grown into something Ruan was completely unfamiliar with. She was well-behaved and sensible, not noisy or noisy, and when she encountered something she didn’t understand, she would quietly stare at her, and talk to other crying children. Not at all.

Later, as the children grew up, it became more and more obvious that Cheng Yujin kept away from her peers. Mrs. Ruan often heard Mrs. Cheng praise Cheng Yujin in front of everyone, while Mo’er could only sit and listen, with lonely eyes.

This scene deeply stimulated the Ruan family. The Qingfu County Master was born higher than her and had more power to speak than her. Could it be that even the children raised are better than hers?

Ruan’s feelings for Cheng Yujin were too complicated, including pity, regret, remorse, indifference, anger, and jealousy.

So Ruan Shi has been unable to face the fact that Cheng Yujin was adopted, and whenever she had the chance, she would talk to Cheng Yujin.

Ruan wanted to make Cheng Yujin live well, but was afraid that Cheng Yujin would live too well and surpass Cheng Yumo.

More importantly, Cheng Yujin should not forget his father and mother, let alone fall in love with the woman Qingfu.

Every time Ruan saw Cheng Yujin, her emotional changes were subtle and complicated, but she never thought that Cheng Yujin would resent her or deny her mother.

You must know that Ruan’s brought Cheng Yujin into this world, what a kindness it was to give birth to her, how could Cheng Yujin not be filial?

Even if Cheng Yujin was raised by others, she should still care about her biological parents wholeheartedly. When she grows up, she will recognize her ancestors and return to the clan and repay her parents and brothers. How could she be, and why should she not be close to her biological family?

Mrs. Ruan was shocked by what she said, and Mrs. Cheng reminded her that it was commonplace, but Mrs. Ruan couldn’t believe that Cheng Yujin thought the same way.

She looked at Cheng Yujin, hoping to see a little embarrassment and depression on Cheng Yujin’s face, but no, Cheng Yujin’s expression was always calm, and she didn’t even respond to Ruan’s look.

Mrs. Cheng noticed Ruan’s movement, narrowed her eyes, and reminded again: “The second family, did you hear what I said just now?”

Mrs. Cheng’s tone was already dangerous, and Mrs. Ruan was frightened. Shrinking her head, she murmured, “Yes.”

Mrs. Cheng was so angry that her daughter-in-law couldn’t handle it, and her adoption was to change the incense. Regardless of etiquette or emotion, Cheng Yujin was the daughter of Princess Qingfu. .

But Ruan’s heart is not dead, and from time to time he comes forward to stir up a fight.

Qingfu didn’t like Cheng Yujin very much at first, and with Ruan’s intervention, he couldn’t get close to Cheng Yujin.

Mrs. Cheng thought that this was impossible. The eldest daughter-in-law had a distinguished status, and she would become Mrs. Hou in the future. Mrs. Cheng would rely on Qingfu County Lord for the rest of her life.

No matter how old Mrs. Cheng felt for her younger son, she would not openly upset her eldest daughter-in-law.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Cheng was even more determined to beat the Ruan family.

She cleared her throat and said to the two people below: “The children and grandchildren are getting older, and it is difficult for the parents to help. Now that the old marquis is gone, I think I will come soon. Life is impermanent, you can wear as much gold and silver jewelry as you like. , No matter how much delicacies of mountains and seas you eat, once you get down there, everything is not empty. When you get older, you will see many things less and less, but it is not as good as a family full of children and grandchildren. Mammy Zhang, go and get the one at the bottom of the box. Dianluo in a red lacquer box with a black background.”

Mammy Zhang was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, “Old Madam, you said that the lacquer box was your dowry? This lacquer box has been with you for more than 30 years. You clearly said that you will bring it into the ground in the future.”

“I know.” Mrs. Cheng said indifferently, “I’m an old and dead twig, and it’s not the same as what I bring to bury. It

‘s rare to have a jade bracelet with good water color, so I’d better leave it to the younger generation for self-defense.”

It had changed. She knew that Mrs. Cheng had a pair of extremely valuable jade bracelets, which she was willing to wear only when she passed her whole life, and she kept it tightly at other times.

Ruan Shi and Qingfu County Master have been thinking about it for a long time. Listening to the meaning of Mrs. Cheng, is this going to be a reward?

Nguyen couldn’t help but have some expectations. Those who saw it had a share. Since Mrs. Cheng said these words in front of her, it was impossible not to give it to her.

In any case, as a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ruan is more respectable than the granddaughter of Cheng Yujin.

Ruan shi watched Mammy Zhang come out from the inner room with a red carved lacquer box on a black background. Every time Mama Zhang took a step closer, Ruan shi’s eyes lit up.

When the box was delivered to Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng opened the lid with ease, and Mrs. Ruan’s eyes almost came out of the frame, sticking to it.

Not to mention the contents inside, the craftsmanship of this lacquer box alone is already valuable.

The wooden box was opened, and Mrs. Cheng turned the box over and placed it on the table. Immediately, the hall was full of radiance.

It turned out that the lacquer box was covered with brocade, and a pair of jade bracelets were placed on it.

Cheng Yujin has seen a lot of jade, but every piece she has seen over the years is inferior to the pair in front of her, and there is appreciation in Cheng Yujin’s eyes.

Mrs. Cheng deliberately showed it so that everyone could see clearly. She had a panoramic view of the amazing greed in the eyes of the people below. Then she cleared her throat and said calmly, “This pair of bracelets is the pressure that my mother passed on to me. The treasure at the bottom of the box, this pair of bracelets alone is worth a thousand taels of gold. Jade nourishes people, but gold and silver can harm people. I originally planned to keep this pair of bracelets so that they would be more respectable when they were buried in the ground. The two sisters, the second girl, the longer the flowers, the prettier they are, I looked at my heart wide and thought, why don’t you pass this pair of jade bracelets to the eldest girl and the second girl, one for each sister, for a good omen.”

Ruan Shi couldn’t hide her excitement when she heard the half, and looked at her staring at the jade bracelet, as if she couldn’t wait for Mrs. Cheng to finish speaking, so she wanted to put it in her arms immediately.

However, Mrs. Cheng had a lot of power, so Mrs. Ruan could only endure joy and restrain herself and wait for Mrs. Cheng to speak.

Cheng Yujin had an indescribable feeling. She had a hunch that she was going to be called by Mrs. Cheng again.

Sure enough, after Mrs. Cheng said she was going to give it to the two sisters, she deliberately paused for a long time before slowly answering: “But the servants below reminded me that the jade bracelets are originally a pair, so it would be unlucky to take them apart. I think so too. , I was thinking of urgency to follow the right, the second girl was getting married soon, I gave this pair to the second girl first, and waited for the eldest girl to marry another pair. But today’s words have reminded me that elders are the most taboo to serve a bowl of water. Injustice, even if it is kind, but in the eyes of the younger generation, it is inevitable that you will not have another mind. After all, the eldest girl is the first daughter of the eldest house, and she should choose first in terms of identity and sequence teeth. And the eldest girl is sensible and loves her younger brothers and sisters. , What is especially rare is to distinguish between inside and outside, and know who to honor. Of all the children, I love her the most, but she is also the most unhappy, and the marriage has twists and turns. This grandmother of mine is getting old, and I can’t help you any more. Let me subsidize you more financially.”

After Mrs. Cheng finished speaking, she gently closed the lid and said, “Miss, come and take your things away. The jade bracelet is delicate and can’t withstand any bumps. Be careful.”

Cheng Yujin said in her heart that sure enough, Mrs. Cheng always did this, she didn’t know what to say when she beat people, she always used another person as a raft, praised and criticized, and stepped on with each hand.

In this way, the person who was beaten would not resent Madam Cheng, but would instead transfer all the hatred to the person being praised.

Cheng Yujin has been a dedicated head for Mrs. Cheng for several years because she is of the right age.

She sighed, thinking that this time, the Ruan family would probably hate her to death, and she might not be able to pay homage to the second room.

Cheng Yujin’s thoughts flashed through her mind. She looked calm and did not show ecstasy and eagerness. Instead, she glanced at Mrs. Ruan and declined, “Grandmother, I can’t accept it, it doesn’t fit the ritual.”

“What’s wrong,” Mrs. Cheng said. Indifferently, “My family doesn’t need to pay attention to etiquette and etiquette. My own dowry, if I want to reward my beloved granddaughter, is it possible that I can’t do it?”

Yes, Cheng Yujin knew that it was bound to be unkind today.

Anyway, Ruan’s hatred is already full, and Cheng Yujin has become a villain for Mrs. Cheng, so she will not push out the benefits.

This pair of bracelets is probably the most valuable item in Mrs. Cheng’s dowry, a precious jade bracelet, so don’t give it up for nothing.

Cheng Yujin immediately responded in embarrassment: “The granddaughter is more respectful than obeying her orders, and she will keep it for her grandmother for the time being.”

Ruan Shi went from surprise to disbelief to frantic anticipation, but in the end she was hit in the head and watched all the cooked ducks enter Cheng Yujin One person pocket.

The gap between Ruan’s family can be imagined, especially since Mrs. Cheng also said that it was originally intended for Cheng Yumo.

The most hated in the world but “original”.

When Ruan Shi left Madam Cheng’s house, her face was ashen, Cheng Yujin sighed in her heart, but her fingers resting on the tin snail lacquer box became more and more relaxed.

Cheng Yujin stayed in Mrs. Cheng’s house for a while, and after hearing her say a lot of specious things, she was finally able to escape.

Cheng Yujin breathed a sigh of relief after she came out. She solved the big problem of fame and got the precious jade bracelet for nothing, but she couldn’t relax at all.

Cheng Yujin walked in the corridor with her maid, and when she passed through a moon gate, she was suddenly stopped by someone behind her.

“Miss.”

Cheng Yujin paused, her eyes flashed darkly, but in an instant she adjusted her expression, turned back in surprise and surprise, and smiled softly at Ruan’s: “Second aunt, so you haven’t Let’s

go.”

Ruan shi approached, and Pi Xiaorou twitched the corners of his mouth without smiling.

Her eyes first fell on the lacquer box in Cheng Yujin’s arms, and she looked at it for a while, then slowly moved to Cheng Yujin’s face: “The eldest lady is valued by the old lady, and even the jade bracelet that the old lady plans to bury in a hundred years is also worthless. I gave it to you without frowning.”

Cheng Yujin said with a smile, “Where, I just keep it for my grandmother temporarily. Besides, my grandmother’s make-up is rich, I just got a pair of jade bracelets, and what my grandmother has left, I still have it. Isn’t it all for a few younger brothers?”

Ruan Shi was heartbroken when she heard Cheng Yujin said she was going to twist her hair to be her sister-in-law, but now that she calmed down, the more she thought about it, the more wrong she was.

After today’s uproar, Cheng Yujin was able to keep her filial piety in peace, and she was honored as her eldest grandson, which must be another important part of her reputation.

However, it didn’t stop there, Cheng Yujin actually relied on Madam Cheng’s pity to get a jade bracelet worth several thousand taels out of Madam Cheng’s hand.

On the other hand, Mrs. Ruan had nothing to gain except being beaten by Mrs. Cheng.

It was so obvious that the winners made Ruan Shi couldn’t help but wonder, was this Cheng Yujin’s trap?

She showed weakness and cried, searching for life and death, all for this moment.

Even Nguyen has become a tool for her to make money.

Ruan’s eyes revealed doubts, and Cheng Yujin sighed secretly, but she had to solve her current crisis quickly.

She smiled slightly, with a girl’s trust and honesty on her face, and said, “My grandmother took pity on me, so she took care of me in many ways. But my marriage is undecided now, and I don’t know where the future will be. It all depends on my grandmother and my younger brother. I am today.”

After speaking, Cheng Yujin said unintentionally: “We are granddaughters after all, no matter how much the elders pity them, they will just take one piece out of a box, how can we go beyond the serious grandson. Grandmother is the most fair, The things behind must be divided equally. My aunt has two sons, which has already accounted for a lot. Besides, aunt should not forget that the second sister is to be Mrs. Hou. Jingyong Hou has been appreciated by the saints, and his future Boundless, the second sister is married to enjoy a happy life. My aunt’s life is good, and I don’t know how many children and grandchildren will be blessed in the future, how can I look at this little bit of mosquitoes and flies in my hands.”

Ruan Shi was moved, right? , Mrs. Cheng felt pity for Cheng Yujin to be helpless for the rest of her life, so she wanted to give her more money, but to put it bluntly, it was nothing but dead things.

Cheng Yujin can’t sell it, and she won’t have a husband to earn decent money in the future. No matter how much she takes, she’s just sitting on the mountain.

Cheng Yujin’s current net worth is probably no more than three or four thousand taels.

With this money, Guangjing Yonghou’s mansion will run more than a month.

Ruan Shi secretly laughed that she was stunned, and even competed with Cheng Yujin.

Cheng Yumo was Mrs. Hou as soon as she got married. In the future, she will preside over the cooking of her ancestral property. In Cheng Yumo’s eyes, 3,000 taels are not even worth a splash.

Using a pair of bracelets in exchange for Cheng Yu and Mo Shun to marry smoothly and give birth to the eldest son of Jingyong Hou’s mansion as soon as possible is of course a great value.

Although Cheng Yujin smiled casually, her eyes kept paying attention to Ruan’s subtle expressions.

Seeing that Nguyen was appeased by her and temporarily put aside her doubts, Cheng Yujin’s shoulders relaxed slightly, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Making a fortune in silence is the long-term way. Cheng Yujin is still young, and she really doesn’t want to be missed by others and affect her future wealth.

Fortunately, a Nguyen family is not difficult to deal with.

Cheng Yujin also secretly alerted herself that she must keep a low profile in the future.

She knew that one day she would not be able to hide it completely, but Cheng Yujin hoped that this day could be postponed for as long as possible.

Ruan’s mood was relieved, and the corners of his eyes and brows were no longer as aggressive as before.

Ruan’s suspicion passed, and only then did he realize that he had come to question his biological daughter, and there was also a hint of coercion.

Ruan Shi suddenly felt a little ashamed. She had a ghost in her heart, so she deliberately leaned on the heat when she spoke: “Miss, if you care about it, you will be messed up. I am also in a hurry for your own good. You will not misunderstand, right?”

Cheng Yujin Laughing, she looked at her biological mother like that, and said with a light smile, “No.”

Ruan Shi was relieved, but she didn’t dare to look up at Cheng Yujin’s clear eyes.

She turned to him and asked, ” Then

, do you still recognize me as your biological mother? You should know who is your biological mother.”

: “I’m sorry that you left your mother just a few days after you were born. You were only so old when you were taken away. I didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, you were going to talk about kissing. Back then when you were taken away, I cried for several days, I almost cried my eyes out. This incident has become a heartbreak for my life, and every time I think about it, my heart hurts. Yujin, can you call me mother? “
