Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 8

[Chapter 8 Rollover]

Cheng Yuanjing was tall and straight, with a handsome face. He stood at the door waiting for Cheng Yujin, and everyone else looked at him secretly.

After Cheng Yujin was dressed neatly, the two of them retreated together, lifted the curtain and went out.

After the two left, Shou’an Hall seemed to be half empty.

Ruan Shi and Qingfu County Master had their own thoughts. They stood for a while and saw that Mrs. Cheng was tired and took the opportunity to retire.

The two daughters-in-law left with them, leaving only Mrs. Cheng in the warm room.

At this time, Mrs. Cheng finally showed the decline of an old man of this age. She leaned on the pillow and closed her eyes tiredly.

Mrs. Cheng’s dowry, Mrs. Zhang, approached gently, stuffed a pillow behind Mrs. Cheng’s waist, and asked softly, “Madam, what’s the matter with you?”

After a long silence, just when Mrs. Zhang thought that Mrs. Cheng would not When she could speak, Mrs. Cheng said in a long tone, “He’s already nineteen years old. In a blink of an eye, it’s thirteen years.”

Mammy Zhang was also silent. Although Mrs. Cheng didn’t say her name, Mammy Zhang The mother is an old man of more than 30 years, how can she not know the knot of Mrs. Cheng’s heart.

After so many years, the little Xue family has almost become a heart disease of Mrs. Cheng.

Mammy Zhang paused for a while and persuaded in a low voice: “Old Madam, please relax, she will be favored again, after all, you are the wife, and she will be the outer room all her life. Besides, the little Xue family has been dead for four years, What do you care about with a dead person. No matter how much men dote on, a son who is more promising will have to enjoy his life.”

Mrs. Cheng snorted coldly, opened her eyes, and her eyes were full of hatred: “I’m just angry. However, at the time, their Xue Jiaqing was famous all over the world, and my parents’ family was just a nouveau riche. If the Xue family was not involved in the court struggle and was implicated in the imperial court struggle, and the whole family was exiled, the Cheng family would not have liked me. Hou Ye and Xiao Xue’s childhood sweethearts, On the 12th, they made a marriage contract, just waiting for the little Xue family to get married. As a result, on the eve of the marriage, something happened to the Xue family. The in-laws did not dare to offend the Yang family, so they could only quickly break the engagement with the Xiao Xue family. He hastily offered employment to our family. I know that from the very beginning, Lord Hou was unwilling.”

Mammy Zhang knelt beside Old Madam Cheng and sighed, “Madam…”

“It’s okay, it’s been so many years, I’ve already seen it. All these love and love are illusory, and it’s business to give birth to a son quickly. Although he was not cold or warm to me after marriage, he gave me face anyway. The family leads those Yingying and Yanyan. Both sons and daughters crawled out of my stomach. That’s enough. I don’t want to fight with his childhood sweetheart. But I didn’t expect that twenty years later, he I just found Xiao Xue and brought her back!”

Mrs. Cheng snorted coldly, in the ninth year of Jianwu, Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yumo, the twins were born less than half a year ago, and Mrs. Cheng was still immersed in the joy of being a grandmother In the middle of April, Lord Cheng suddenly brought back a child from outside, saying that it was the blood of him and the Xiao Xue clan. He was just six years old, and he had to give the child a genealogy.

When Mrs. Cheng saw it, she was very suspicious. The child was very good-looking and had no calluses on his hands. He had more rules than her own son.

Such a child could be raised by the little Xue family who was exiled to the frontier and had no one to support?

Mrs. Cheng suspected that she was selfish, and she was afraid that Mr. Cheng would be hit by a fairy, so she refused to let the child go to Cheng’s family tree.

But Old Marquis Cheng was rarely tough, and insisted that it was his bloodline. He had been secretly raised outside for many years. Although the child was well-fed, he could not always live abroad, so he brought it back to recognize his ancestors and return to his family.

Mrs. Cheng has been doubting Cheng Yuanjing’s identity for so many years. He is the son of Xiao Xue’s family and did not run away, but he is not Mr. Cheng’s, not necessarily.

The little Xue family is good-looking, what can happen to a weak woman who is exiled to a place like the frontier.

Who’s son this is, he was planted by the little Xue family on Cheng Laohou.

But Cheng Laohou is still stupid, and he really took both mother and son to the capital to raise their sons for others.

After many years, Mrs. Cheng saw Xiao Xue’s. Xiao Xue’s cheeks and hands were no longer delicate, but the gentle and peaceful energy on her body was the same as before.

Because of jealousy and suspicion, Mrs. Cheng refused to let the little Xue family live in the Hou Mansion. Mr. Cheng Lao Hou could only raise the mother and son to an outside house, and all the applications were taken from her private account.

Mrs. Cheng has been trying so hard to deduct Mr. Cheng’s money all these years, and she has seen a ghost. The son of the little Xue family is still raised upright and upright. Scholars.

Madam Cheng’s teeth itch with hatred when she thinks of this: “This man who buried his conscience, I don’t know where he got so much money over the years. Since he was seven years old, he has been pressing him to study, and he has been beaten and scolded less often, but he can’t even pass the test for Tong Sheng!”

Mrs. Cheng was scolding the prince Cheng Yuanxian, and Mrs. Zhang couldn’t say much, so she could only comfort: “Old man What are you anxious about, the imperial examinations were prepared for the poor children who had no way to go, and the prince has a title in his body, why should he suffer that crime! Besides, we are a noble family, and we have the shadows left by our ancestors, so why turn to Posting a text?”

“If you can’t do it, you can’t do it. You know that hanging out with those concubines every day will make me mad.” Mrs. Cheng couldn’t help cursing when she talked about her eldest son, but Mammy Zhang just listened to it.

Don’t look at Madam Cheng’s scolding, how can there be so many concubines in the room of a county master in Qingfu?

It wasn’t that Mrs. Cheng felt distressed about her son and stuffed it in.

Mammy Zhang said with a smile: “Master Shizi is still young and playful. When he is older, he will become sensible and motivated. Besides, don’t you still have a second master?

” He has been diligent and conscientious for so many years.” Mrs. Cheng said that her second son had a smile on her face, but she quickly frowned, “It’s his daughter-in-law, who walks softly and weakly, and speaks weakly, so she can’t look at it. Mesa. Even the daughter she raised. Look at the big girl. They are not the same twin sisters, but they are raised under Qingfu’s knees. The next time I break off the marriage, most of it will be ruined. I have held her up for so many years, and I point to her with a long face, marry a good family, and support my father and younger brother in the future. What a good future for the

Duke of

Jingyong, it’s a pity.”

It’s not easy to pick up. The big girl has been a benchmark for all these years. Only the big girl is there in everything. Don’t think about it. The first is definitely the big girl.

In contrast, the second girl, Cheng Yumo, is much more approachable and more popular with brothers and sisters.

However, these have nothing to do with Zhang Ma’s family slave. According to her, no matter the eldest girl or the second girl, she is an existence that she can’t climb high.

Mrs. Cheng didn’t know what to think, and said, “It won’t work to rely on her daughter. Could it be that Cheng Yuanjing will be the pillar of the Cheng family in the future? He is an outsider…”

Mrs. Cheng felt angry when she thought of this, but the children did not have a good time, and you could see it as soon as they appeared.

Cheng Yuanxian is middle-aged, and his official position is not as high as that of the nineteen-year-old Cheng Yuanjing. Even the second master Cheng, who is excellent in homework that Ruan’s often recites, is far worse than Cheng Yuanjing.

The men of the Cheng family are not as good as Cheng Yuanjing when they pack up. Of course, Mrs. Cheng is not reconciled, but what can be done about this.

Mammy Zhang persuaded bitterly: “Old Madam, you are not too young, and your granddaughter is about to get married. What are you still struggling with when you were young? The little Xue family has died of illness for many years, and the former waifuzi has become The person with the highest official position in the Cheng family, even if you don’t win over him, you can’t push Jiuye out.” Mrs.

Cheng sighed: “I don’t know. Xiao Xue died of illness in the ninth year of Jianwu, and she was able to endure it. He insisted on seeing Cheng Yuanjing’s high school jinshi before he let go. Coincidentally, in that year, the Xue family case was rehabilitated. Before Xiao Xue’s death, he heard that his son’s high school and his mother’s family were rehabilitated, and he died without regret. If my two sons can have such an opportunity as Cheng Yuanjing, and let me die, I will be willing.”

“Oh, old lady, what are you talking about!” Mammy Zhang hurriedly pouted on the ground and said “The old lady doesn’t like to say such depressing words. I want the old slave to say that if you want to control the ninth master, there are some ways. If nothing else, the ninth master has not married yet, no matter how hard he is, he should rely on it. Come on

.”

Mrs. Cheng sneered: “That’s not necessarily true. If I want to get hold of his marriage, I’m afraid Lord Hou will be the first to refuse. But it’s strange, Lord Hou treats this halfway son as a son. His eyes hurt as much, so why didn’t he show up to marry him and take concubines? He’s nineteen this year, and everyone else in his grade should have a son.”

When it comes to this, Madam Zhang doesn’t know, Madam Cheng After wondering for a while, she said, “Forget it, when the Marquis is here another day, I’ll go and test the meaning of Marquis.”

Mammy Zhang replied, she hesitated, and asked, “Old madam, what about the eldest girl? What should I do?”

Mrs. Cheng stared at the incense burner beside her, and after a while, she said, “Let’s take a look, let’s first release the news that the Huo family broke the contract, and see if there are any good people who come to the big house. The girl proposes a marriage. If there is no…then this granddaughter can only be regarded as a free raise.”

It is really cruel, the treatment of the eldest granddaughter, who has been honored for many years, collapses when it is said to collapse.

However, Mammy Zhang didn’t plan to do anything except sigh in her heart.

Everyone in the high gate compound has its own future. After all, what does the eldest girl have to do with her?

Cheng Yujin was “something” and went out early.

She walked behind Cheng Yuanjing, she was really bored, she raised her voice and asked: “Ninth uncle, you called me out, what’s the matter?”

Cheng Yuanjing glanced back lightly and said, “You look shrewd. Looking at it now, my brain doesn’t have much use.”

This sentence stimulated Cheng Yujin to want to scold others, she thought that the person in front of her was her ninth uncle, after all, she was an elder, so she could only reluctantly hold back: “Thank you for the praise. What do you mean my brain is not good?”

Cheng Yuanjing thought to himself that he was so stupid, it was rare for him to be kind, but he didn’t expect that Cheng Yujin didn’t even react when he said this.

Cheng Yuanjing’s expression was indifferent, and even his tone was careless: “Those female dependents are all thinking about getting to the bottom of things, what else can you do if you stay in the house?” In

just a short meeting, Cheng Yuanjing already knew about the inner house of the Cheng family. .

The chief of Qingfu County has nothing to do with herself, and Nguyen has other thoughts in circles, and Mrs. Cheng is still determined to buy her daughter.

Their malice is almost undisguised. In this situation, what else can be left?

Cheng Yuanjing won’t say these words, he is a person who is very concerned about boundaries, in other words, born indifferent.

How about others, what to do with him?

The words he just said to Cheng Yujin have been the only support for many years.

Cheng Yujin immediately understood what Cheng Yuanjing meant, how could she not know what Cheng Yuanjing could see at a glance.

Cheng Yujin lowered her head and watched as the snowflakes floated onto the red cloak one by one, then quickly melted away.

Cheng Yujin was quiet for a while, and suddenly said, “Sometimes I feel like I’m like this snow, looking white and beautiful from a distance, but when I get closer, there’s nothing.”

Cheng Yuanjing was surprised and stopped to look at her.

Cheng Yujin turned her head to look at the mighty wind outside the corridor, blowing the snow particles everywhere.

Her side face reflects the snow, almost more crystal clear than snow: “Of course I know it will be embarrassing to stay, but what can I do? That’s

it.”

Cheng Yujin reached out to pick up the snow, her red cloak reflected on the gray corridor, surprisingly dazzling.

Cheng Yujin turned around and smiled at Cheng Yuanjing: “Ninth uncle, I’m afraid you can’t understand it. Although you are a concubine, you have been loved by your parents since you were born, and you will manage everything for you. When you grow up, you can change your destiny through the imperial examination. So How can you understand that feeling that there is no way to go, but there is a way to go.”

Cheng Yuanjing heard the slight cracking sound in his heart.

There is no way to go, but you have to go.

How could he not understand?
