Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 44

[Chapter 44]

Ruan Shi looked at Cheng Yujin earnestly, with undisguised anticipation in her eyes.

Cheng Yujin was a little lost. She remembered that on New Year’s Eve when she was three years old, she wore new red clothes, and her whole body was bright like a doll in a New Year’s picture.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion stayed in Mrs. Cheng’s house to celebrate the New Year. Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yumo were put on the Luohan bed to play. Cheng Yujin couldn’t remember what she was playing at that time, but she only remembered that Mrs Ruan brought a piece of cake to ask her if she knew Who is her mother.

Cheng Yujin can’t remember what happened next, but it’s not very good to think about it.

Qingfu has always disliked her. Qingfu is not willing to raise children for others, which is excusable, but Cheng Yujin has always wondered what Ruan’s is for.

I’m afraid from the bottom of my heart, Mrs. Ruan doesn’t want her to live well. Perhaps, what Mrs. Ruan is looking for is a man who lives in Cao Ying and is in Han, selfless and uncompromising towards his biological family, and keeps pouring money from his adoptive mother. Come out to subsidize the “filial daughter” of her biological parents.

Ruan always secretly came to see Cheng Yujin when she was a child, but when Cheng Yujin became sensible, she didn’t come, and she probably thought it was ugly.

Cheng Yujin’s thoughts passed by, she smiled and looked at Ruan Shi, this time, her eyes took a straight look.

Ruan Shi was flustered by this look. She clenched her handkerchief stiffly, and pretended to be calm and said, “Miss, I’m asking you something, why do you look at me like this?”

Cheng Yujin smiled softly, her eyes curved When he started, his tone was as soft as ever: “I’m wondering why the second aunt said such a thing.”

“What?”

“Second aunt didn’t sleep last night, alright, she’s been talking all morning. My mother is the eldest wife, how does the second aunt have one mother? Everyone knows that I am the eldest wife, the princess of Qingfu and the eldest master. Daughter, why should I call you mother?” Cheng Yujin smiled and patted Ruan’s hand lightly, “Second Aunt, although it is summer, you can’t be greedy when you sleep at night, or else the wind will blow your head. If you are in a coma, you will say some stupid things. I will not tell others these words today. Second Aunt can rest assured, but Second Aunt must not talk nonsense to others. After all, I can hide it here, if Second Aunt goes Ask Bao’er to say something like you are my son and you should call me my mother, then I’m afraid my mother will not be kind.”

Ruan Shi was startled by what she said, she looked at Cheng Yujin in disbelief. .

She didn’t talk nonsense, but from her point of view, it was Cheng Yujin who was talking nonsense!

Ruan’s is Cheng Yujin’s biological mother. This is a well-known thing in the house. Why can Cheng Yujin laugh and say that she should not go crazy?

Ruan’s mouth couldn’t close, and she asked incredulously: “You don’t believe it? No, there are so many open mouths in the house, you can’t not know. That is, you don’t want to recognize your biological parents?”

“What biological parents? Although Cheng Yujin smiled, her eyes were cold and clear, and a cold warning flashed suddenly, “My parents are the eldest master and the eldest wife. I was raised by them, and their names are also recorded on the family tree. From beginning to end, I only have A pair of parents, what is the relationship between the biological and the non-biological? Please respect yourself, the second aunt, don’t say these inexplicable words, or if they spread to the mother’s ears, she may misunderstand that the second aunt wants to provoke our mother-daughter relationship.”

Cheng Yujin finished speaking. Pulling away Ruan’s hand, she gave a junior salute from a distance, and said, “I have something to do with my mother. I’ll go back first. I forgive my niece for not accompanying me.

” She stood there and muttered to herself: “She doesn’t even recognize me? I gave birth to her, and it was a helpless move to be carried to the big house. How could she hurt my heart like this?”

When Cheng Yujin returned to the yard Her face was still cold. Forsythia heard the voice and ran out of the room happily. She bumped into Cheng Yujin and the others. Her voice was immediately caught in her throat: “Miss, you’re back…Miss?”

Cheng Yujin took a deep breath and reached out to cover her face.

After a while, she put her palms down, and her expression had completely returned to normal: “I’m fine.”

Forsythia didn’t dare to say more, Cheng Yujin was able to bend and stretch, and her energy was very good. There is only one person who lives on his face.

Mrs. Ruan from the second room.

Forsythia stepped aside and silently poured tea for Cheng Yujin.

Du Ruo followed behind, and Cheng Yujin fanned silently.

Cheng Yujin sat quietly for a while, then suddenly said, “Bring the old lady’s tin snail lacquer box here.”

Du Ruo kept this thing and never left his sight.

Hearing this, she gently placed the thing in front of Cheng Yujin, and then stepped back silently.

Cheng Yujin stared at the intricate carvings on the lacquer box. Pearls, gems, jade pieces and other objects were also engraved on the four walls. The red, green, and green look very luxurious.

Cheng Yujin flicked his fingers over the lacquer-carved leaves, and finally opened the lid with a light button.

Immediately, the jade light became prosperous, and even if he looked closely, he could not find a single flaw on the jade bracelet.

Condensed but not scattered, warm but not cold, clear but not transparent, it is an excellent jade.

Cheng Yujin casually took one and put it on her wrist.

Gold and silver bracelets will get old, but jade will never go out of style. Hanging such a first-class jade bracelet on your hand, your arms will appear to be much fairer, and no matter what clothes you wear, it will not look abrupt.

Du Ruo saw Cheng Yujin fiddling with the pair of jade bracelets, thinking that Cheng Yujin didn’t like it.

After all, it was because of them that Cheng Yujin quarreled with Ruan.

Du Ruo asked softly, “Girl, don’t you like it?”

“Don’t like it? How could it be.” Cheng Yujin took off the bracelet and put it back in the wooden box, “Why don’t I like something worth less than five thousand taels? ”

But the old lady…”

Cheng Yujin sneered softly: “Who is my grandmother, others don’t know, am I still not clear? The second wife was not friendly to me at first, so she had to offend Ruan’s family in exchange for a couple.” There are priceless jade bracelets on the market, this is a good deal.”

“Miss…”

“I’m fine.” Cheng Yujin re-buttoned the lacquer box and said, “What happened to me recently, I always get windfalls. Grandfather’s box of gold is, and grandmother’s pair of jade bracelets are also.”

Cheng Yujin remembered something after saying that , added: “Ninth Uncle’s 1,000 taels of land deed can barely be counted. It seems that I have to find time to worship the God of Wealth and ask him to help me suppress the villain. Otherwise, my net worth will not be guaranteed.”

Du Ruo heard Ask: “Miss, do you want to go out and offer incense?”

Cheng Yujin laughed and said meaningfully, “You don’t need to go out to pray to God. Which Buddha is bigger than the one in our family?”

Du Ruo didn’t understand , Cheng Yujin smiled without saying a word, and no longer explained.

Du Ruo was very open-minded. She didn’t understand and quickly let it go. She asked Cheng Yujin, “Miss, what about this lacquer box?

” Mrs. Cheng gave her the stuff at the bottom of the box. Cheng Yujin wanted to make a fortune in silence, but she didn’t know how long she could hide it.

But in any case, she had to keep a low profile for a long time.

Cheng Yujin’s eyes fell on the lacquer box. The peony carved out of red lacquer is luxurious and mysterious. Cheng Yujin likes beautiful jewelry by nature, but she can’t wear such a pair of beautiful bracelets.

At least not now.

Sure enough, marrying a rich and powerful husband is still very important.

With the support of her husband, she wants to see who can control her!

Mrs. Cheng’s gift of the treasure at the bottom of the box to Cheng Yujin really caused quite a stir, but Mr. Cheng’s July 7th day was coming soon, and everyone was busy preparing for the ceremony, so they didn’t let it go, and temporarily maintained the surface calm.

Since Cheng Yujin got Mrs. Cheng’s promise, she took the funeral of Mrs. Cheng more seriously.

Being treated as the eldest grandson to stay at home to keep filial piety is not a joke, and there may be many people who are dissatisfied and secretly staring at her fault.

This matter is very important for Cheng Yujin to marry in the future. Cheng Yujin will never allow herself to make mistakes in this kind of thing.

Cheng Yujin’s nerves were tense, and the mourning ritual system strived to be perfect.

In the hall, the guests heard that Cheng Yujin had obeyed the will of the old marquis Cheng and kept filial piety at home for one year in the manner of the eldest grandson, and immediately looked at Cheng Yujin with admiration.

In the presence of everyone, everyone in the Cheng family offered incense to Old Marquis Cheng, kowtowed, and then returned to the house to remove the filial piety and put on ordinary clothes.

Although you can wear homely clothes, it is still taboo to wear bright red and green. During the period of filial piety, you should wear light colors.

Cheng Yujin, on the other hand, was more cautious about changing clothes because of her own reputation.

She changed into a plain white plain tunic, which was slender and fitted, with slits at the knees.

There is a faint light pink plum pattern on the clothes, except for the texture of the fabric itself, there is no decoration at all.

The skirt below is also silver-gray, with neat pleats and fine folds. When walking, it opens up like a peacock, which is beautiful and dignified.

Cheng Yujin’s skeleton is slender and slender, because she was raised well since childhood, she is not too thin, but bumpy and slender.

After changing into a slim-fitting gown, it can better show her graceful curves and exquisite waist.

Cheng Yujin walked all the way, her steps were slow and slow, her clothes were plain and light, as if the people in the painting had come to life, and people along the way couldn’t help but look back.

Cheng Yujin went straight to Mrs. Cheng’s courtyard. The courtyard of Mrs. Cheng was full of people at the moment. Cheng Yujin walked in around the veranda, and many people quietly pointed out: “This is the eldest girl of Yichun Hou’s mansion.”

Cheng Yujin was in the crowd. Looking at Zhong An Zhiruo, she lifted the curtain and entered the room, and found that many wives and wives were sitting in the room.

Qiqi is different from the first seven to offer condolences. Those who come today are all close to others, and most of them are related to the Marquis of Yichun.

Cheng Yujin didn’t have stage fright. She first saluted Mrs. Cheng, then turned around, and said hello to all the wives: “Hello, ladies, and Yujin greets you.” The

ladies laughed and pulled Cheng Yujin up. He pulled him to his side, pointed to her and said to the lady next to him in black and gold armor, “Mrs. Zhai, this is Miss Cheng.” The

introduced lady raised her eyes and glanced at Cheng Yujin, then smiled politely: “So it turns out that That’s it, it looks really good.”

The person next to him smiled and said to Cheng Yujin, “This is the second wife of the Duke Cai’s mansion. The lady of the country passed away last year, and now the mansion is in charge of the second wife.”

It turned out that he was from the Duke Cai’s mansion, no wonder his eyes were higher than the top.

Cheng Yujin smiled lightly, and saluted Mrs. Zhai’s second wife decently and generously: “I have seen the second wife.” Mrs.

Zhai’s second nodded, too lazy to speak.

She had the highest status in the field, and everyone was holding her. In fact, it was not all about holding Mrs. Zhai. The one who gave face to her was Zhai Yanlin, the Duke of Cai who was behind her.

Mrs. Cheng asked Mrs. Zhai

Er: “The second wife has to manage the affairs of the government, and she is the most busy. Today, the second wife of labor is going to go in person, and the old body is really uncomfortable.”

Still modest: “Where, the eldest brother’s house is supposed to be in charge, but last year, my sister-in-law went, and the eldest brother has to be busy with court affairs and take care of brother Qing. It’s on me. Thanks to the trust of my uncle and mother-in-law, I managed to take care of it for two days. When the new sister-in-law enters the door in the future, I must return it to my sister-in-law as soon as possible. I’m a stupid person, I really can’t handle this. It’s a

delicate matter.”

Cheng Yujin vaguely knew the situation of Cai Guogong’s mansion, last year Cai Guogong lost his wife, leaving only a five-year-old only son Zhai Qing.

Cai Guogong was busy with the government, and the old lady of Cai Guogong’s mansion favored her grandson, and she favored Zhai Qing to the point of being lawless, even more prodigal than Cheng Enbao.

Cheng Enbao was clamoring for a dog a few days ago, and even after seeing Zhai Qing, he wanted to follow suit.

The only difference is that Cheng Enbao has a sister named Cheng Yujin, but Zhai Qing does not.

Cheng Enbao bumped into Cheng Yujin’s hand, and was tidied up, but looking at Mrs. Zhai’s tone, I am afraid that Cai Guogong’s family is following Zhai Qing everywhere, and no one can control this little devil at all.

Mrs. Zhai Er will appear here, also to take care of their family’s lifeblood, the precious son Zhai Qing.

Cheng Yujin didn’t have a good impression of the bear child, and she was even more insensitive to the behavior of Cai Guogong’s mansion.

On the contrary, Mrs. Cheng’s eyebrows moved when she heard it.

Cai Guogong lost his wife for a year, and he has not heard of which girl he has booked.

Mrs. Cheng was lying on the slump, her eyes narrowed, as if she closed her eyes and rested, and seemed to be thinking about something.

After a while, Mrs. Cheng asked casually, “The prince is five years old, and it’s time to pay attention to the

basics It’s just a common saying, and I mentioned it by accident.

But Cheng Yujin knew Mrs. Cheng very well, and she realized almost immediately that Mrs. Cheng’s drunkenness was not about drinking, but something else.

After this period, Cheng Yujin also re-examined the conversation just now.

Cai Guozheng was in his prime years, and he was called the Duke of the State. He held an important position. He also had a newly deceased wife and only had a five-year-old son.

In the eyes of these elders, Cai Guogong is in need of a virtuous wife.

Cheng Yujin frowned. Could it be that Mrs. Cheng likes her?
