Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 45

[Chapter 45]

After Mrs. Cheng asked, Mrs. Zhai Er said, “I can’t make up my mind about this. It depends on what our old lady wants. However, the old lady has said several times that when Brother Qing lost his mother at the age of five, he lived in the back house. There is no one to rely on. If the stepmother is not a virtuous one and deliberately plots against Brother Qing after entering the door, how should he guard against him at such a young age? If the successor is young, blinded by wealth and honor, and the idea of involving the title of the Duke’s Mansion, I am afraid that it will cause chaos in the family. So the Duke and the old lady both mean this, and want to wait for Brother Qing to be older, or Find a girl with outstanding character, pure and kind-heartedness, who can support the grand career of the Duke, and then discuss the matter of marrying the successor.”

Cheng Yujin sneered in her heart, saying that someone who is capable and able to support the Duke The family business, but also want people to have no complaints and no regrets, take care of the ex-wife’s son carefully, try to be filial to the elderly mother, and finally, the girl is not greedy, work hard all her life, and all the family business belongs to the ex-wife’s son. The son can’t compete with Zhai Qing yet.

Oh, if there really is such a bodhisattva, the Zhai family will raise one first.

Cheng Yujin was unhappy, of course she wanted to marry a golden turtle-in-law, and the image she created for herself as a virtuous and virtuous person was also for this goal.

However, this does not mean that she will fill in the house for others.

Still the stepmother of a five-year-old, Cheng Yujin suddenly felt offended.

But she is a person whose reason trumps emotion after all. Cheng Yujin quickly controlled her emotions and tried to evaluate Cai Guogong Zhai Yanlin as objectively as possible.

Zhai Yanlin has already inherited the title of duke of the country, and his wife is the wife of the country’s duke as soon as he walks through the door. At the same time, Zhai Yanlin is different from the young people who are still fighting for the future. He is already influential in the small and medium-sized court, and he will not be a big shock, but there are few people who don’t give it to him. his face.

However, his deductions are equally deadly. First, he has a wife and a concubine, and second, he has a five-year-old son.

Zhai Qing was very much loved by his family. The old lady of Cai Guogong regarded Zhai Qing as the root cause of pain, and Zhai Yanlin also left the family property and the title to his eldest son, in case his step-wife gave birth to a second son to compete with Zhai Qing.

Before Mrs. Steps passed the door, she was already guarded by a vicious stepmother.

After marrying in, Cai Guogong guarded the people next to him, Madam Zhai guarded her grandchildren, and Mrs. Zhai Er was not willing to let go of power.

So, why did she give up Lin Qingyuan, who had a bright future and didn’t accept concubines, and chose another middle-aged man who had an ex-wife and a concubine, her mother-in-law was suspicious and mean, and her concubine was putting cold arrows behind her back?

Zhai Yanlin is indeed powerful now, but Lin Qingyuan is valued by the prince. After Cheng Yuanjing returns to the East Palace, Lin Qingyuan will be able to stand in Zhai Yanlin’s current position within a few years.

If a good first wife doesn’t do it, why should she rush to be a stepmother to someone else?

Cheng Yujin wouldn’t despise herself like that.

Cheng Yujin added and subtracted in her heart, and after calculating Zhai Yanlin’s final score, she did not hesitate to cross this person out.

Lin Qingyuan still holds the first place in Cheng Yujin’s heart.

Cheng Yujin had already made a decision, so she no longer cared about Mrs. Cheng’s thoughts.

Parents have the final say in marriage matters, but as long as Cheng Yujin is unwilling, she has a way to make it impossible.

After Mrs. Zhai said the rules and pushed the request, the ladies present sighed and agreed: “Yes, the prince is still young, you should be more cautious when picking a bride.”

However, even though they said this, they all felt in their hearts .

, Cai Guogong’s mansion is too greedy.

The family background must be worthy of the family of Cai Guogong’s mansion, the character must be able to teach five-year-old bear children well, and the ability must be able to manage the family of the Guogong’s mansion, and all aspects must be the best.

In the marriage and love market, the advantages are multiplied and not superimposed. Girls who can meet these conditions have a combined score that is much higher than everyone else.

The conditions of the family are so good, and it is also possible to be an imperial concubine.

No wonder the old lady of Cai Guogong’s mansion has been looking at each other for a year and has not found a suitable person.

The wives pouted inwardly, and on the surface they were responding to Mrs. Zhai Er’s words.

Among the sighs, only Mrs. Cheng did not speak.

Because she found that there are people who meet all the above conditions and are still in their homes.

Cheng Yujin fits everything.

Mrs. Cheng seemed to have got some bargaining chip, a smile appeared on her lips, she was not in a hurry, and slowly narrowed her eyes again.

There are hundreds of women in the family asking for it, and the woman has to pinch the air and let Cai Guogong’s government take the initiative to ask.

Too eager to open a price.

This matter is going to take a long time to come, and it has to be taken slowly.

Mrs. Cheng said nothing, squinted her eyes and smiled: “The old lady is worried, she should choose carefully. It seems that Mrs. Zhai Er has to work hard.

” Wishing that Duke Cai would never marry a new wife, she could always control the central feed of the Duke’s mansion.

Mrs. Zhai Er waved her hands modestly: “Where.” After the

female relatives were polite to each other, the topic returned to the young man.

A lady took Cheng Yujin’s hand, looked at it carefully, and said to the person next to her, “I haven’t seen you for a few days, why do you think the eldest girl has lost some weight?”

The lady next to her said, “Isn’t it true, Mr. Cheng was alive before his death. She loves her the most, and now she suddenly goes, how can she not be sad? I heard from the old lady that Cheng Yujin has been guarding for Cheng Laohou for several nights. I feel sorry for her, a weak girl, with such a thin wrist, I don’t know how to survive Yes

.”

Ladies, you said a word to me, and then wiped the tears with the veil.

Cheng Yujin is snobby and only me, with weak feelings. The fact that the female relatives cry when they cry is not a good practice, and she often has to use the help of foreign objects.

Cheng Yujin saw so many people and her veil was not easy to hold, so she didn’t cry, but she endured her grief and said, “Madam, the deceased is gone, grandma finally stopped her tears, let’s not hook up again. She’s gone.”

When the lady who wiped her tears heard this, she nodded again and again: “You are right, it was me who was wrong, and it made the old lady cry.” As soon as the words fell, her tears were withdrawn.

Cheng Yujin was very convinced when she saw it up close.

The wives are sitting here talking about everyday things. Now that Cheng Yujin is here, they have found a new topic, and they all revolve around Cheng Yujin.

Before his death, Old Marquis Cheng personally said that he raised Cheng Yujin as his eldest grandson and left Cheng Yujin at home to keep filial piety. Whether this is true or not, the Cheng family’s attitude is very clear.

Cheng Yujin, the eldest granddaughter, is still unparalleled in dignity. Even if the marriage is broken off, the Cheng family will not change their attitude towards Cheng Yujin.

This is enough.

In life, who has the time to check the truth and falsehoods, no matter whether Cheng Laohou said these words or not, Cheng Yujin will have a lot of resources in the Yichun Houfu, and it is enough for the ladies to see this.

Marriage is the best way to marry two surnames, and it is the integration and sharing of the money, connections, and prestige of the two governments. The more resources Cheng Yujin carries, the more valuable she is in the eyes of the ladies.

If Cheng Yuanxian can successfully inherit the title, then Cheng Yujin will become the eldest daughter of a serious Hou family, and her status will be higher.

What’s more, Cheng Yujin still has the name of virtuous virtue that the emperor personally commended. After a year, it would be even more incredible to add another layer of filial piety.

Anyway, there is still one year left, and the ladies are all willing to stand by. If the Cheng family and the Huo family get married in a year, they will be able to attract real power and real profits, and their reputation will be improved. Several ladies will be happy to marry a beautiful pennant and come back. .

After all, Cheng Yujin is beautiful and does things beautifully. Even if she does nothing, she looks good at home.

Therefore, at this moment, the lady gives Cheng Yujin a lot of face. You hold Cheng Yujin every word and every word, and you almost praise the heaven and earth.

Mrs. Cheng still had the desire to let Cheng Yujin get married. Seeing this, she didn’t say anything. Cheng Yumo followed Ruan’s side and she couldn’t help feeling a little lonely.

She was mentioned by Ruan’s family early in the morning, and asked her to be smart today, always follow Huo Xue’s back, and come forward to offer filial piety when she has the opportunity.

Because of this, Cheng Yumo couldn’t be free all morning, serving tea and laughing with her, so tired that her calf cramps.

She complained to Nguyen in a low voice while no one was paying attention.

She said this to mean that her little daughter was coquettish and pampered, but when Ruan heard it, she sighed leisurely.

Nguyen said, “Son, it’s only been one morning, and you’re so tired that you’re crying. From now on, you’ll have to follow your mother-in-law every day to make rules, to be careful in the morning and evening, wash your face, rinse your mouth, drink tea, cloth, vegetables, etc. You can’t fake the hands of others, who can you fight with?”

Cheng Yumo was lost. In her previous life, she heard people around her sister say that Huo Xue was not a good mother-in-law to get along with.

But people always feel that it doesn’t matter if they haven’t seen it with their own eyes. Cheng Yumo thought that after she married into the Huo family, although Huo Xue’s always kept a straight face, she did not make too many demands. It was Cheng Yujin’s exaggeration.

Cheng Yumo was unhappy when she didn’t hear her mother’s comfort, but she laughed in a flash, and said to Ruan, “What’s the matter? A-niang, if you don’t listen to me, then I will talk to Brother Chang Yuan.”

Ruan Hearing this, Shi was helpless and loving. This was originally a very rude remark, but Ruan was reluctant to blame Cheng Yumo, and only touched her daughter’s eyebrows with her fingers: “You.” The

mother and daughter finished their gossip. They also came in to serve their mother-in-law.

Cheng Yumo lowered her hands honestly and stood behind Huo Xue’s. When the ladies saw her, they just glanced at her quickly, and then they stopped paying attention.

However, when Cheng Yujin came in, everyone was watching, and everyone held her up and said good things.

Cheng Yumo was a little sad, and more resentful.

Cheng Yumo used to be inferior to Cheng Yujin. Whether it was family members or guests, they all held Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yumo endured it. Who told Cheng Yujin to recognize a noble adoptive mother.

But now that she is about to become Mrs. Jingyong Hou, why are these people ignoring her?

Cheng Yumo was not reconciled, and felt more and more that these people were blind.

Cheng Yujin’s life has been like this, but Cheng Yumo will follow Huo Changyuan to the top. Today, this group of people missed the real pearls, and instead regarded the fish eyes as treasures.

Just wait, even if this group of people come to her with shy smiles in the future, she will not give them a good face.

After lunch, many ladies left and rested, and the Shou’an Hall was obviously empty.

Cheng Yujin was originally staying in the house, but soon she noticed that Mrs. Cheng was holding the Buddha beads and didn’t speak. Mrs. Ruan glanced at Cheng Yujin one after another, and Mrs. Huo Xue also showed a faint look of impatience.

Cheng Yujin understood, and thoughtfully made an excuse and went out by herself.

Both the front hall and the back hall are doing things, and the music of the Taoist priest’s practice can be heard in the entire Houfu.

There are many people, and there are many outsiders, so the backyard can’t help but be noisy.

Cheng Yujin didn’t want to go to crowded places, and she couldn’t get too far away, so she could only walk around in the garden.

Cheng Yujin was bored. She was sitting in a pavilion covered by trees, one by one pulling the leaves on it.

Cheng Yujin sat for a while, and suddenly heard Cheng Enbao’s voice from outside: “I gave you my gold collar, you should give me the dog to play with.”

What, dog?

The other child’s voice was arrogant and arrogant. He was not afraid of the sky and the earth. He knew that he might be spoiled by his family. He said, “You are too cowardly, so I won’t give it to you. Go, roaring dog, put on that maid’s clothes. Bring back the pendant on the top.”

Cheng Yujin’s face suddenly sank, where is this arrogant child who dares to act wild in Yichun Hou’s mansion.
