Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 74

[Chapter 74 Selfishness]

Cheng Yujin came out of the main house of Qingfu County in a hurry. She walked too fast, and she didn’t even care to play a mother-daughter drama with Qingfu.

Cheng Yujin went straight to Mrs. Cheng’s courtyard, and the maid of Shou’antang was very surprised when she saw her: “Miss, you just asked for peace in the morning, why are you here again? Did you leave something behind?” No

wonder the maid thought this way .

, Cheng Yujin came over with empty hands and a serious expression, not like she came here to show her filial piety, but like… she came to ask the teacher for sin.

The maid didn’t dare to think like this, thinking that Cheng Yujin lost something, and Cheng Yujin was in a hurry to find something, so she made such a look.

After being reminded by the maid, Cheng Yujin took a deep breath, adjusted the expression on her face, but pushed in the door.

Mrs. Cheng squinted on the Luohan bed, and the two maids knelt on the feet and beat her legs.

Hearing the sound of entering the door, Mrs. Cheng lazily made a slit, and when she saw Cheng Yujin, she said, “It’s a big girl. Why are you here?

” The maid next to her smiled diligently: “I know that the eldest girl is filial, and only the eldest girl is so caring in the whole house. Jie’er runs to the old lady all day long. The eldest girl has a seat, Oriole, and serve tea to the eldest girl.”

Cheng Yujin They didn’t pick up their words as usual, and said some polite words that they knew each other well.

Cheng Yujin still stood still on the carpet, looking at Mrs. Cheng with her eyes: “Grandmother, I have something to tell you.”

Mrs. Cheng was only a little surprised, but when she saw this, she was embarrassed, and immediately seemed to be fine. The same, he smiled and said: “It’s the old slave who is confused, the eldest girl and the old lady and grandchildren are talking thoughtful things, but I am like a wooden pestle here. Today, the small kitchen has prepared sesame cheese, and the eldest girl loves this flavor. Now

, this old servant will go to the small kitchen and have a look.” The

mammy said and left, and when she left, the two leg-beating maids in the room also went out.

In the warm pavilion, only Cheng Yujin and Mrs. Cheng were left soon.

Cheng Yujin took the beauty hammer left by the little maid, and sat on the Luohan bed, beating Mrs. Cheng’s muscles and bones for a while.

Cheng Yujin lowered her head and said nothing, and Mrs. Cheng didn’t rush her.

In fact, Mrs. Cheng can probably guess why Cheng Yujin came over. The two uneasy quarrels between Qingfu County Lord and Mrs Ruan, and Mrs. Cheng was a headache for them, not to mention Cheng Yujin who was caught in the middle.

It must be the Lord of Qingfu County who went back and said something to Cheng Yujin.

Mrs. Cheng was not in a hurry, leaning on the soft pillow, half-closed her eyes and resting.

Cheng Yujin knocked for a while and said in a low voice, “Grandmother, my mother went back and talked to me today. My mother is impatient, and sometimes her words are easily misunderstood. She didn’t have to rob the phoenix. I wore peony satin, but I was afraid that the second aunt was wearing a wrong dress, so I couldn’t help but reminded my second aunt a few more words, and then I had a misunderstanding with the second aunt. After my mother went back, she regretted it very much, and she specially sent me to my grandmother to have a look. When you arrive at my grandmother, please forgive me.”

Cheng Yujin’s remarks were very ironic.

Mrs. Cheng listened comfortably. Mrs. Cheng didn’t believe the words that Cheng Yujin said that the Qingfu County Master regretted and sent her to apologize. But things in the world are okay on the face of it. Cheng Yujin’s words are full of flowers, Mrs. Cheng I would also like to believe so.

Mrs. Cheng narrowed her eyes and said, “You are still sensible. My eldest daughter-in-law and Mrs. Ruan have grown into what they are today. I have lived in the same house for almost 20 years, and they are not much different from my daughter. When you stumble on your right foot, the family will inevitably quarrel, and then it’s over. I’m their mother, so why bother with them? It’s good that they don’t have any grudges in their hearts.” Mrs.

Cheng said After a long sigh: “Everything can be prosperous when a family is harmonious, and the family needs to be harmonious.”

“Grandmother said yes.” Cheng Yujin responded, she was very unintentional, and seemed to mention it casually, “Speaking of which, I am the daughter. Incompetent. My mother just calmed down and said sweet words to me, and then I realized that it was my mother who saw that the eldest brother was sent to the National Children’s Prison and the second brother had also changed to a good private school. , she’s just worried about the future of the third brother.”

Mrs. Cheng understood that it was for this reason.

She has always known that the old family and the second family are not dealing with each other. It seems that the quarrel today is not only the old grudges, but also the issue of resources between the two families.

The big house has a title, and Qingfu is from the county owner. As soon as he entered the door, he became the eldest daughter-in-law. Over the years, it has been smooth sailing, and his spirit has been held high, and he can’t stand being surpassed.

Nguyen Shi has indeed been a bit high-profile these days.

However, the second room has a high-spirited daughter, and the second room is rising, which is also a matter of course.

If the old folks can’t keep up with this strength, it won’t work either.

Cheng Yujin saw Mrs. Cheng’s contemplative look, so she continued to say slowly: “Parents want the best for their children, which is really pitiful for parents in the world. It’s a pity that I can’t live up to my expectations, and I can’t have a relationship like the second sister and recommend my younger brother. Go to Guozijian.”

Madam Cheng was stunned at first, and then smiled: “Miss, I know you need to be strong since you were young, but you don’t have to take this kind of thing on yourself, it’s not your responsibility. Besides, man’s For the future, they should earn it by themselves. As a spoiled guest, it is enough to enjoy the happiness in the inner house.”

“How can this be possible? My grandmother, father and brother love me, and I have seen it all these years, how can I not do it for my family?” Do you want to contribute?” Cheng Yujin bit her lip after speaking, she was reluctant and had to break the boat, and asked, “Grandmother, the elders are sheltering me from the wind and rain, I shouldn’t have bothered the elders anymore. But, after all, I I’m older than the second sister, the second sister is already married. After a year, maybe the younger nephew can be hugged, but I am still at home. I have been blaming myself for this. Let me tell you straight, am I causing trouble for the family?”

Madam Cheng sighed and stretched out her hand to sit up, Cheng Yujin put down the beauty hammer and helped Madam Cheng sit up.

Mrs. Cheng changed her seats and said, “You’re a child who has a lot of worries. It’s not your fault that you get divorced. You don’t need to worry about marriage. It’s really not good. It’s not a problem for your family to support you for a lifetime.”

Mrs. Cheng saw Cheng Yujin’s face, and a person who was always smart and perfect showed such a depressed look. Mrs. Cheng couldn’t bear it, and couldn’t help leaking her trump card to Cheng Yujin: “Besides, this is only the worst plan, you may not really fall here. One step. Do you still remember Zhai Xiaoshizi, who came to our house as a guest on the day of your grandfather Qiqi?”

This is Cheng Yujin’s real purpose. She said so much earlier, just to pave the way for this sentence.

Mrs. Cheng didn’t know that she had been attacked by Cheng Yujin’s tenderness. Before this kind of thing was confirmed, she couldn’t make it public.

After all, Cai Guogong’s mansion was only mentioned verbally, and there was no actual token. If the rumors were leaked, the Zhai family would have nothing to do, but the Cheng family would be left behind.

Especially since Cheng Yujin broke off the marriage, Mrs. Cheng was even more cautious. If she was not afraid that Qingfu would not know the matter, and promised Cheng Yujin’s marriage with others outside, Mrs. Cheng wouldn’t even say that Qingfu County Master.

Now that this sentence was said, Mrs. Cheng was surprised.

However, the words had already been spoken, and even if Mrs. Cheng wanted to save it, it was too late.

Cheng Yujin immediately answered the call and asked, “Zhai Xiaoshi? But Zhai Qing, the only son of Cai Guogong’s mansion? I know him naturally, why did my grandmother talk about him? Yes, on the day of Xiangji Temple, Mrs. Zhai also came, and I gave it back to Zhai. The old lady asked An. Grandmother, did Duke Cai’s mansion tell you something?” The

old lady Cheng sighed, she just accidentally showed her head, Cheng Yujin connected the next things together, it seems that it is impossible to be unclear today. .

Mrs. Cheng said: “It’s him. You met Prince Zhai Qing in the garden that day, and you persuaded the prince to read and write. After returning home, Mrs. Zhai and Mrs. Cai Guogong were shocked. Their prince was young and no one was there. Discipline, Cai Guogong has long wanted to find someone to persuade him. Cai Guogong sees that you and the little prince get along well, and now you just don’t have a marriage contract, Cai Guogong wants to marry you and go back to be his wife. Come and have a good relationship with the Cheng family.”

Cheng Yujin’s heart gradually sank, and Zhai Yanlin even said that he had a good relationship with the Cheng family. It can be seen that he knows Mrs. Cheng very well and understands how to persuade her, a mercenary. grandmother.

Cheng Yujin calmed down and asked, “Did Mrs. Zhai tell you these words at Xiangji Temple that day?”

Anyway, it has already been said, and the rest must be covered up.

Mrs. Cheng saw that Cheng Yujin didn’t have the shyness of a bride at all. Instead, she looked rational and analyzed. She also accepted the ridicule and brought the facts one by one: “No. Mrs. Zhai should have come to see you that day. , she is full of praise for you, but she didn’t ask for marriage. I think it is true, getting a wife is not a trivial matter, and no one can make a decision when they meet. When the Queen Mother finished paying homage to the Buddha, when she returned to the city, Cai Guogong made a special trip to meet the old man. Said.” After Mrs.

Cheng finished speaking, she looked at Cheng Yujin and smiled: “It seems that Cai Guogong is really satisfied with you.” It

was Zhai Yanlin who said it.

Cheng Yujin was in no mood to pay attention to Mrs. Cheng’s teasing look, and focused on analyzing the events of the day.

These words were said by Zhai Yanlin to Mrs. Chen in person after the Buddha ceremony. At that time, she had clearly rejected Zhai Yanlin at the Buddhist temple. That is to say, Zhai Yanlin heard those excessive words, not only did not enmity, but speeded up the pace and met Cheng face to face. The old lady proposed marriage.

Zhai Yanlin is afraid that there is something wrong with him, he is still catching up.

However, Cheng Yujin didn’t have time to think about whether Zhai Yanlin was being abused. She is now full of her own crisis.

Zhai Yanlin has already made it clear, and seeing Madam Cheng’s expression, she is also very satisfied.

This is troublesome. If Cheng Yujin is married to Cai Guogong’s mansion, her years of hard work will be greatly reduced, and she will have to spend her life with that arrogant and stupid man.

Cheng Yujin felt a headache just thinking about it.

However, in treating Mrs. Cheng and Zhai Yanlin differently, Cheng Yujin could not expressly refuse, but could only persuade: “Grandmother, I should not have interrupted the marriage, but I vaguely remember that Mrs. Zhai said that the title of Duke Cai’s mansion has been fixed. They are all reserved for the son of Zhai Qing. It is difficult to be a stepmother, and she has to support her ex-wife’s direct son. It is not good to be strict or kind. Moreover, if you have your own children, you will be punished if you don’t do anything. People are suspicious.”

That’s true too, it’s not easy to have a lady of the country, and if you have worked hard for many years to raise sons for others, it will be too much of a loss.

However, if the person in front of her is Cheng Yumo, Mrs. Cheng may hesitate, but this is Cheng Yujin. Mrs. Cheng smiled and looked at Cheng Yujin with a meaningful expression: “It’s up to people. You are a smart boy, there is always a way.”

Cheng Yujin prepared a lot of words, and when she heard Mrs. Cheng say “it’s up to people”, her lips moved, and she felt that she didn’t need to say anything.

Mrs. Cheng can say that the matter is human, what else can she say?

Cheng Yujin retired from Shou’antang, and it was not until she sat in her boudoir and followed her for a day that Forsythia dared to ask, “Girl, the old lady actually thought… girl, what can I do?”

What can I do, what can I do?

Do it.

Cheng Yujin was silent for a while, and at this moment, she suddenly thought of a completely unrelated person.

“Where’s Ninth Uncle?” Cheng Yujin asked suddenly.

“Jiuye?” Forsythia paused, although she didn’t understand why the girl asked about Jiuye, but she still dutifully replied, “I don’t know, the slaves don’t know, Jiuye is not at home these few days, it seems that he went out to visit friends. ”

Going out to visit friends?

Cheng Yujin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed at herself, what happened to her, she always knew that she was the only one who could rely on her difficulties, why did she think of him?

What kind of visiting friends, His Royal Highness the Prince is clearly going to contact the palace and make the next arrangements.
