Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 53

[Chapter 53]

Cheng Yujin was stunned when she heard this voice.

She suddenly stood up and stared at the door with wide eyes. There, the maid rolled up the curtain, and a person walked in with a sullen face.

His face was stern, his eyes were calm, and there was no superfluous expression on his face.

His height is considered tall among men. Unlike Huo Changyuan, who is burly and sturdy, Cheng Yuanjing’s physique tends to be slender and tall. You can feel his broad shoulders, slender legs, and thin waist.

His appearance is a little too good-looking for a man, and his body is tall and straight, but this is not the most striking thing. What really stands out about Cheng Yuanjing is his indifference and majesty in his gestures.

That is the bearing that can be cultivated by being born with dignity, commanding freely, and being born to give orders.

Cheng Yuanjing, who is considered tall among men, stood in a room of children and became more and more eye-catching.

After Cheng Yuanjing came in, the female family members who were still aggressive and arrogant just now were a little embarrassed. The people who were sitting there stood up unconsciously, and the maids looked down at the ground and held their breaths naturally.

Cheng Yujin was too surprised, and stood up in a hurry and fast. Fortunately, other people’s reactions were similar to her.

Cheng Yujin didn’t care about Mrs. Cheng and others, and immediately walked towards Cheng Yuanjing. When she really got close, her expression was hesitant: “My little girl greets Ninth Uncle. Ninth Uncle, why are you here?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Du Ruo behind Cheng Yuanjing.

Cheng Yujin blinked, and she figured it out in a moment.

Seeing that she already understood, Cheng Yuanjing nodded and didn’t say much: “I met your maid on the way, and I just have something to clarify, so I’ll take a look together.”

Cheng Yujin heard that as expected, and Du Ruo followed her instructions. He hinted to go to the Lord of Qingfu County, but the Lord of Qingfu County refused to swim in the muddy water. Du Ruo had no choice, so he ran to Cheng Yuanjing for help.

Cheng Yujin winked at Du Ruo again and again. She had words of suffering, so she could only apologize to Cheng Yuanjing in embarrassment and euphemism: “Ninth uncle, it’s just a small matter, and it bothers you. The little girl is really guilty.”

Cheng Yujin was really embarrassed, she I really didn’t expect Du Ruo to go to Cheng Yuanjing.

This kind of thing was actually known to the prince, and Cheng Yujin didn’t know whether to blame Du Ruo or blame herself.

In fact, I can’t blame Du Ruo. Cheng Yujin knew who Cheng Yuanjing was, and didn’t dare to offend or neglect, so she could only be careful to please him everywhere, but Du Ruo didn’t know, she only knew that her girl was very close to Ninth Uncle and often ran to Cheng Yuanjing.

Thinking like this, it’s no wonder that Du Ruo would go to Cheng Yuanjing to try his luck.

The worst thing is, I still encountered it.

Cheng Yujin was embarrassed and puzzled. Du Ruo didn’t understand that the situation was excusable. Does Cheng Yuanjing still not understand?

He is a dignified prince, and sooner or later he will leave the Cheng family, so what does he do with these trivial matters?

“It doesn’t matter.” Cheng Yuanjing didn’t seem to care, he said, “It’s not just for you, I also have something to say. It happens that everyone is here with Mrs. Hou today, so let’s make it clear together.” Mrs.

Cheng is also a maid. After being helped, she stood up. When she saw Cheng Yuanjing, she thought of Xiao Xue’s family. It was difficult to give a good face, but her tone of speech was very polite, which was completely different from Cheng Yujin and Ruan’s: “Jiulang, why are you here?”

Cheng Yuanjing said, “It’s for some trivial matters.” After Cheng Yuanjing finished speaking, he paused before continuing to say calmly, “I thought that in front of the old man that day, many things were made clear. Now it seems that Mrs. Hou Others don’t understand.”

Old Madam Cheng and Ruan’s expressions suddenly stiffened.

“The old marquis said that day that the elders are orderly, and all juniors, regardless of gender, are treated equally. Although Cheng Yujin canceled the engagement, the dowry is what she deserved, and there is no reason to transfer it to others for some inexplicable reason. That 2,000 taels means that you have accepted the arrangement of the old marquis, and now you say that the arrangement of the old marquis is not appropriate, what is the reason?”

Cheng Yuanjing’s tone was flat and indifferent, but it was more frightening than aggressive and loud scolding.

Ruan’s expression was embarrassed, she pursed her lips, and said, “I’m also doing good for Hou’s house. Besides, all the people present at the time were my own family, and no one else would know about it…”

“Why won’t anyone know?” Cheng Yuanjing looked at it lightly. She glanced at Ruan Shi, “Even if no one knows, what is the second wife going to do?”

Ruan Shi seemed to have been strangled by the throat, and immediately silenced.

This was the first time Cheng Yuanjing saw such an ignorant and fearless person. He didn’t bother to look at Ruan’s family again, and looked directly at Mrs. Cheng: “A gentleman makes great promises, not to mention the last words of Lord Hou. Mrs. Hou, you are Mrs. Gao Ming, the Houfu of Yichun. The person in charge, could it be that Mrs. Hou also regards etiquette as nothing?”

Cheng Yuanjing obviously ignored Ruan, but Ruan’s face immediately flushed with shame.

Mrs. Cheng had seen many scenes, and she didn’t know how the shy son in front of her had such a powerful aura, but she still held her face, stopped for a while, and said slowly: “Of course not. As long as it is Lord Hou If no one knows about it, Lao Shen will do everything he can for the Marquis, but he will make his wish. Before he died, he made arrangements for his two granddaughters, and Lao Shen has nothing else to say.”

Cheng Yujin blinked at the scene in front of her. She had spent so much effort before, even made threats to show softness, but Mrs. Cheng refused to let go.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yuanjing only said two words, and Mrs. Cheng admitted it positively.

Cheng Yujin originally planned to act by chance, but now she found that Cheng Yuanjing arranged everything in an orderly manner, and she didn’t need to do anything at all.

This was the first time in her cognition, the only time in her life that she didn’t need to worry about anything, and she didn’t need to do anything. Naturally, someone would stand up for her.

Cheng Yujin couldn’t tell what she felt in her heart, she sighed faintly, it seemed that she owed Cheng Yuanjing again.

“That’s good.” Cheng Yuanjing said, “Since it’s said, let’s make it clear at once, and go to invite the prince and the eldest wife.”

Cheng Yujin frowned and said softly, “Ninth uncle, mother can’t get away from something, I’m afraid I

can’t come here.”

“Please use my name.” Cheng Yuanjing didn’t care at all, and said, “There are two girls, please also come here.”

Cheng Yujin watched helplessly as the Qingfu County Master, who was so busy just now and refused to come to Old Madam Cheng’s courtyard, appeared soon, and after that, everyone in the second room also gathered.

Cheng Yuanjing said in front of everyone: “I said before that I have no intention of dividing the property of the Houfu, but Lord Cheng insists. In the words of the eldest girl, the elders do not dare to give up, and I don’t want to live up to the wishes of Lord Hou. , I will give this property to the eldest girl. It is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, just as everyone is here, let’s write one of the 30% clearly today.”

After speaking, Cheng Yuanjing asked the guard to take out a brocade box, and Chong Yujin waved.

Cheng Yujin approached tentatively, Cheng Yuanjing put the box in her hand, and said, “I asked people to make a book. The names and quantities of gold and silverware, cloth, porcelain, etc. are all written on the book. In addition, there are land deeds and silverware. Tickets, see for yourself, and take them if you have no problem.”

Cheng Yujin clearly felt that everyone’s eyes were on her hands, and the eyes of Princess Qingfu and Mrs Ruan were about to burst into flames.

Cheng Yuanjing said before that he would give Cheng Yujin one-third of his money, but Qingfu thought it was just an excuse. Although it was in Cheng Yujin’s name, it wasn’t actually something from the big house?

The Lord of Qingfu County did not expect that Cheng Yuanjing really gave Cheng Yujin something.

As soon as Cheng Yujin got married, these things went out. How could she be willing to have so much money in Qingfu’s hands?

Cheng Yujin felt the heavy weight of the brocade box in her hand, and the anxiety in her heart seemed to be suppressed.

Cheng Yujin’s thoughts quickly became clear, she smiled and handed the box to Mrs Ruan in front of Princess Qingfu: “Second Aunt didn’t say just now that the second house has many descendants, not only two younger brothers, but also second sisters. Married Gao, should Gongzhong allocate more money to the second room? I shouldn’t be involved in the assets of Gongzhong. I don’t know about the housekeeper, but since the second aunt is not satisfied with this distribution, and the second sister’s dowry is not enough, then these things, Just leave it to the second aunt to distribute it.”

Princess Qingfu was already full of anger, and he was immediately annoyed when Cheng Yujin said that the Ruan family complained about the unfair distribution, and the second room should take up more resources.

Qingfu just didn’t want to work hard to ask for a dowry for someone else’s daughter, so he just made an excuse not to appear.

But she did not expect that Ruan Shi would speak ill of her during this time.

And looking at Cheng Yujin’s voice, Mrs. Cheng didn’t object?

Qing Fu snorted angrily in his heart, Ruan Shi, a slut, even suggested that her management was unfair, and she still wanted to take more money from the public?

Especially that sentence has many heirs, and it hits the anger of Qingfu County Master firmly.

Bitch, who are you scolding?

Ruan Shi’s eyes moved, obviously moving.

Qingfu

County Lord was on the verge of an outbreak. Seeing Mrs Ruan’s performance, she sneered and said, “The eldest girl is filial, so the second younger sister really dares to take it?”

Red for a while: “This is supposed to belong to the ninth master, but now it is given to the eldest girl, and the eldest sister-in-law even takes care of it?”

“What should I do?” Qingfu sneered, “I can’t beg for my hard work to manage the family business. How dare you care about other things? Since the younger brother and sister feel it is unfair, then the younger brother and sister will simply take the card away. I can’t control it anyway, let the younger brother and sister come.”

Qingfu County Master sneered at Ruan Shi, and immediately began to quarrel .

The two of them come and go, and neither of them will back down.

Nguyen felt that the master of Qingfu County was too long, and the master of Qingfu County felt that Nguyen was shameless.

Cheng Yujin smiled in her heart, and it was a coincidence that the moment she raised her head, Cheng Yuanjing just happened to look down at her.

The eyes of the two met, Cheng Yujin froze for a moment, then rolled her eyes and smiled at Cheng Yuanjing.

Cheng Yuanjing’s expression softened.

The two of them didn’t have any communication in advance, but they just cooperated very well.

Cheng Yujin already had the really valuable things in his hands. The property of the Duke of Houfu was not much in total, but he had to argue with the first and second houses for a long time.

Cheng Yuanjing kept the dowry left by Old Marquis Cheng for her. However, in this way, Mrs. Ruan was frustrated, Mrs. Cheng was shameless, and everyone was bound to stare at Cheng Yujin.

Cheng Yujin was carrying a huge amount of wealth, and it would be unimaginable to be targeted by others.

So Cheng Yuanjing gave Cheng Yujin the third of what Cheng Laohou had left for him in front of everyone, and also deliberately made a roster so that people could see at a glance how many things were in it.

Cheng Yujin responded very quickly, and directly “filial piety” to Ruan, and sure enough, the conflict between Qingfu and Ruan was provoked.

Cheng Yujin watched Qingfu and Ruan bite each other leisurely. She thought to herself, Cheng Yuanjing is also a daring person. If she didn’t understand what Cheng Yuanjing meant and took the box seriously, what would she do?

Fortunately, Cheng Yujin guessed it.

With this third as bait, I am afraid that for a long time, neither Ruan Shi nor Qingfu County Master will be able to pay attention to Cheng Yujin.

Cheng Yujin felt complicated in her heart, and seeing that the matter was resolved, Cheng Yuanjing took people away without looking back.

Seeing Cheng Yuanjing’s actions, Cheng Yujin put down the brocade box and followed quietly.

After waiting outside, Cheng Yujin ran quickly through a corridor, and finally caught up with Cheng Yuanjing at the corner: “Ninth uncle.”

Cheng Yuanjing heard Cheng Yujin’s voice and stopped in front of the corridor to wait for her.

Cheng Yujin ran to Cheng Yuanjing, panting slightly: “Ninth uncle, thank you.”

The adoptive mother who had been together for 14 years was not willing to help her. Instead, Cheng Yuanjing, who had nothing to do with the Cheng family and had only known each other for a short time, came to support her.

After today’s episode, no one will be able to mention Cheng Yujin’s “borrowing” the dowry.

What is especially rare is that Cheng Yuanjing not only solves her problems, but also thinks of her difficulties and leaves a way out for her.

This diligence can’t be compared with words, even if it is a real uncle, it is difficult to achieve this step.

Cheng Yujin looked at Cheng Yuanjing, and rarely said in a very serious tone: “Thank you, Uncle Jiu for today’s matter. Uncle Jiu has already helped me so much that I don’t know how to return the gift. Uncle Jiu, I owe you a big favor. You can ask me to do one thing at will, as long as I can do it.”

Cheng Yuanjing smiled lightly and said, “No need.”

“Uncle Ninth!” However, Cheng Yujin insisted this time. She stood in front of Cheng Yuanjing regardless of etiquette, and said seriously, “I know that I am a light-hearted person, and Uncle Ninth doesn’t look down on me. But it’s your business that doesn’t matter if you use it or not. It’s my business. I’ll keep waiting.”

Cheng Yuanjing saw Cheng Yujin so solemnly for the first time, he looked at Cheng Yujin’s shining eyes, but he couldn’t say anything else.

Cheng Yuanjing watched for a moment, then turned his eyes and said nothing.

Cheng Yujin was overjoyed: “If you don’t refuse, I’ll take it as your acquiescence. Jiu Shu, I’m really sorry to trouble you with such a trivial matter, but why does Jiu Shu think of taking the roster?”

Cheng Yuanjing has always looked down on the money of Yichun Houfu .

Yes, Lord Cheng wished to divide the family property into three parts, but Cheng Yuanjing never planned to take it.

Cheng Yuanjing suddenly proposed today, which really surprised Cheng Yujin.

When did he make the roster?

Cheng Yuanjing retracted his gaze, looked at the lush leaves outside the corridor, and said, “People are walking for tea, and your grandfather is the head of the house. He has only been gone for two months. I can talk for you now, but when I leave, I’m afraid they will be even more aggressive.”

Cheng Yujin thought she had heard it wrong, and asked subconsciously, “What?”

Cheng Yuanjing finally turned his eyes and looked at her deeply: “I want to too. gone.”
