Greetings, Ninth Uncle
Chapter 26: Pick a son
Cheng Yujin returned to the yard. The little girl guarding the gate saw her and hurried in to report: "Sister Forsythia, Sister Du Ruo, the girl is back!"
The forsythia was in a hurry, and when he heard Cheng Yujin coming back, he picked up the skirt and ran out: "Girl, you can count back!"
Du Ruo also followed him solemnly. Cheng Yujin pressed forsythia's hand and motioned her not to say anything: "I'm fine, let's go first."
Forsythia nodded quickly. Cheng Yujin returned to the house with a sullen face, and Du Ruo quietly drove out the little maids in the house, personally serving Cheng Yujin with a cup of hot tea. The two maids were all around her, and Forsythia lowered her voice and asked, "Girl, the slave-maid is saying to go out to find you. Fortunately, you are back. Girl, what's wrong?"
Cheng Yujin shook her head. She still thought it unbelievable when she remembered what had happened. She sipped her tea tiredly, tossed it all afternoon, frightened and witted again, and Cheng Yujin's throat was already dry. After she soothed her throat, she flicked the tea lid one at a time, her eyes empty, seeming to be thoughtful.
Du Ruo and Forsythia can see that Cheng Yujin is thinking about something. They dare not urge them and wait with their eyes shut. Cheng Yujin finally closed the lid and put the teacup on the table, his eyes quietly swept to Du Ruo.
Du Ruo knew, holding the sewing basket and sitting on the threshold, clearly doing the sewing, but actually guarding the door. After the environment inside the house was safe, Cheng Yujin asked, "Forsythia, how did you come back?"
Forsythia also knew that things were different. She knelt down on the foot of the Luohan bed and looked back, trying not to omit any details: "After the girl entered, the slave-servant carefully kept out of the window as the girl ordered. The slave-servant looked carefully. No one passed by during this period. But I did n’t know what was going on. After a quarter of an hour, the people around Jiu Ye suddenly appeared and said that the girl had gone with Jiu Ye and let the slave-servant keep up. The slave-servant was unknown, but, but The girl had confessed that the slave-servant did not dare to leave the window. Afterwards, they stared at the slave-servant for a while and then dispersed themselves. "
"Someone came to the front door soon, the slave-servant didn't dare to stay, and quickly circumvented. The slave-servant secretly looked out at the door of the old grandpa's house, but no one inside said that the elder girl, the slave-servant could not figure out what happened, thinking that the girl had come When the slave-servant ran back, Du Ruo said that the girl did not come back. The slave-servant panicked and was planning to go out to look for it. You will appear.
Forsythia repetitively repeated, Cheng Yujin listened quietly without asking a word. After listening to Forsythia, she probably already knew what was going on. Cheng Yujin didn't answer, but instead asked, "Did you see it when you came back?"
"No, the slave-servant saves weight and avoids people all the way."
"Well." Cheng Yujin nodded, she hadn't expressed emotions, and suddenly became severe and solemn at the moment. "Today's things can only rot in the stomach, not to anyone, even Du Ruo. You know?"
Forsythia rarely sees Cheng Yujin being so serious, no matter what he encountered in the past, Cheng Yujin is calm and calm, like today is the only place to put worry on his face. Forsythia was scared and nodded.
After beating the forsythia, Cheng Yujin was very tired and waved her out. Forsythia withdrew his head down, and Cheng Yujin was the only one left in the room. He could almost hear the sound of incense cake burning quietly. Cheng Yujin sighed, leaned his head against the pillow, and stretched his hand to cover his eyes.
There was no darkness in front of me, and there was no light. Cheng Yujin could think more focusedly. Her eyelashes quivered quickly and subtly under the finger, and Cheng Yujin forced herself to calm down, bit by bit, breaking away to recall what happened today.
Cheng Yuanjing's true identity really caught her off guard.
Cheng Yujin had heard some rumors before Mrs. Cheng, but Mrs. Cheng had suspected for many years that Cheng Yuanjing was not the blood of Cheng ’s family, but was born in a dark bead during the exile of Xiao Xue, and was born to a wild man who did not know where Illegitimate child. Seeing that he is too old to hide, Xiao Xue lied to be the son of Old Master Hou Cheng, trying to make his mother expensive by relying on his son, and relying on his children to return to Beijing to live a rich and prosperous life.
However, Cheng Houye really has no principle to favor the child who came out halfway. What is more annoying is that the child is extremely good, far exceeding Yuanxian and Chengyuanhan. Mrs. Cheng was so angry that she hated Xiao Xue and her son for not fighting, so she did n’t let anyone mention the youngest nine sons on weekdays. Door.
Over time, few people in the Cheng family knew Jiuye. Cheng Yujin and these juniors had never seen Jiushu at all. Fortunately, Cheng Yuanjing doesn't seem to want to return to Cheng's home. Over the years, the number of times he returned to his home has been counted with one hand. After Xiao Xue's death, he stayed in the field, and hadn't even had a message for three years. Even if someone said that Cheng Yuanjing had died in the field, the Cheng family believed.
Cheng Laohou only had two sons, both of whom were from Mrs. Cheng ’s wife. When Cheng Yuanjing returned, his seniority followed the order of the family, ranking ninth.
Of course, the previous generation's grievances and grudges Cheng Yujin didn't care, what did she do? Cheng Yujin only thought about it when he was bored. I am afraid that Cheng Yuanjing is really not the son of Cheng Laohou. Mrs. Cheng is the person who knows Mr. Cheng the most. She all doubts that most of them are not groundless.
Besides, the Cheng family are all eager to enjoy and do n’t want to make progress. Cheng Yuanjing is too aggressive, not like the melon that the Cheng family can grow.
Who knows, Cheng Yujin's joke choreography in his free time became a proverb, Cheng Yuanjing, really did not surname Cheng.
Cheng Yujinguang felt terrible when he thought about it. Old Master Hou Cheng did such a big thing without saying a word, but he did n’t tell his family. Cheng Yujin thought of Cheng Yuanxian's insincere attitude towards Cheng Yuanjing, and felt that his brain was hurting.
Her biggest wish in her life was to become rich and powerful. Unfortunately, it was too difficult for her to achieve this. Cheng Yujin could only turn to invest in men. She has deliberately managed the reputation of a good wife and mother since she was sensible. She pretends to be a good girl in front of ladies and wives. The longer she is, the more beautiful she is, her reputation is growing. The hind legs were pulled.
First, she was divorced by the idiot Huo Changyuan, and her reputation for many years of business has fallen short. Fortunately, the retirement is considered to be a timely stop loss. Cheng Yujin can barely cope with it, but she never expected that her father had been rushing to death.
Cheng Yujin thought that no one could stop her from marrying a golden turtle son, even her father. The prince is too big, Cheng Yujin dare not think about it, but it can still be considered if one or two is used properly.
Cheng Yujin opened his eyes and carefully calculated the next path.
After what happened today, the things she had always felt strange in the previous life have been explained.
Cheng Yujin had a dream. In the dream, he watched the life of "Cheng Yujin" like a wandering soul. She hadn't actually experienced those things. Love and hatred were like watching other people's stories, as if they were surrounded by a layer of mist, and nothing was real. It is not so much that she has experienced such a life, it is better to say that she accidentally glimpsed another life of her own.
But she remembered a few stupid people, especially Huo Changyuan.
In that life of her own, she had very little contact with Jiu Shu. She did not retire from Huo Changyuan, never bumped into Cheng Yuanjing's house, nor did she embroider the screen for Cheng Yuanjing. Cheng Yuanjing returned to Beijing that summer, she married Huo Changyuan.
It's this month.
She understands the way of living in the house, while men have great power, but it is the wives who are really holding the women's clothing, food and shelter. Cheng Yujin has always been sensible, this is the case in this life, and so is the previous life. Therefore, in her previous life, she did not offend Mrs. Cheng for the sake of an unnamed uncle in her life. After she got married, she and Cheng Yuanjing would not even talk about each other.
It was only afterwards that I heard that Uncle Jiu returned to Beijing to show his face, and then went to work as an official in another field. After that, there was no news, I heard that he died of illness in Ren.
At that time, Cheng Yujin was pregnant, and she was so desperate for Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yu that she was worried about an uncle who was not close. Immediately after, there is no more.
She died because of dystocia. He was only sixteen at the time of death.
When I dreamed, I didn't realize it was wrong. Now think about it, Cheng Yujin figured out many strange places. For example, after she died, why did Huo Changyuan marry Cheng Yumo smoothly; why did Huo Changyuan have a smooth career; why did the family of Cheng have no interest at all, and why they did not become rich for many years.
For another example, Huo Xue's clearly hated other women to be close to their son. After Huo Changyuan continued to marry Cheng Yumo, Huo Xue's was very polite to Cheng Yumo.
Following the perspective of the people in the book, she reluctantly admitted that Cheng Yumo was destined to be loved by birth. But think about it now, the life of the **** is clear, Huo Changyuan secretly and Huoxue's mouth leaked, let Huoxue know that there is a fairy behind the Cheng family, they must rely on the Cheng's daughter and the prince.
Even if it is just a name, after all, it has protected the prince for so many years. Seeing this face, the prince will always mention Ctrip. And the men of the Cheng family can't help the wall one by one, aren't all the ready-made benefits left to the son-in-law?
Damn young talents, Huo Changyuan can go smoothly, all rely on the Cheng family! No wonder he wants to marry Cheng Yumo. The so-called life-saving benefactors and the so-called first love are all excuses, and they are only a small part of the death. The real reason why he married Cheng Yumo was that the Cheng family was kind to the prince, and the Cheng family daughter was a ready-made Qingyun ladder.
Cheng Yujin felt luck, how much luck she had in her last life, but she married Huo Changyuan. Anyone who changes a person, with her carefully managed marriage, and the grace that the crown prince casually misses, she can live a life of beauty no matter who she marries.
However, she married into the Huo family and was betrayed by her husband and sister. When the prince had not recovered her status, she died of blood collapse because of her mother-in-law's negligence. She didn't know the truth until she died.
Cheng Yujin took a deep breath. The things in her previous life have been cleared. Now that everything has not begun, she has the opportunity to reopen. This time, the prince's extremely shining hole card, she must use the blade.
Cheng Yujin didn't know whether he should admire Old Cheng Hou's courage, or whether he should admire his courage. But since she came out of the closet alive today, it means that the Highness is not interested in her life. Otherwise, he really did not need to do more. Since he didn't want to kill others, the rest was much simpler. The crown prince is in a good position and has a great cause. How can he care that a little woman will take advantage of the situation properly. Cheng Yujin even calculated that Cheng Yuanjing would give him a marriage directly.
Cheng Yujin quickly took a sip of tea and calmed down. She slowly recovered her senses. Although Cheng Yuanjing is a prince, he is only known to the world, he knows the emperor. According to the momentum he has been lurking for fifteen years, he will not advertise his identity until the time is right. Then it's awkward. Who knows when Cheng Yuanjing intends to go back, she's all fourteen, still waiting to get Cheng Yuanjing to restore her identity, is it to marry him?
I'm afraid it's difficult.
Cheng Yujin was a bit worried. Looking at Cheng Yumo's performance, at least until Cheng Yumo died, Cheng Yumo didn't know that the prince was Cheng Jiajiu. There are two possibilities. One is that Cheng Yumo has the same bad luck, and he died before the Prince regained his identity. The other is that His Royal Highness did not recognize Cheng's family for life. Found in, welcome back to the East Palace. Li Chengjing is Li Chengjing, Cheng Yuanjing is Cheng Yuanjing, but Cheng Yuanjing is dead.
Those who know the inside story are all the best people in the world. Even if the following people think that His Royal Highness is familiar to the Crown Prince, they do n’t dare to arbitrarily shout about the missing Prince for many years. As long as the Cheng family is dealt with, no one will pierce this royal scandal.
Intuition tells Cheng Yujin, most likely, the latter.
She wanted to be fake, and she didn't know if the tiger would give a hair. Cheng Yujin was so heavy that she couldn't tell her that she weighed for a while, and finally the Lin family's concubine's advantage prevailed. Lin's family is not weak, Lin Qingyuan himself has a good future, or a junior who is very optimistic about the prince. She now seems to have accidentally seen the answer before the exam. Lin Qingyuan can see that there is huge room for improvement. How can she let go of such a super potential stock?
Cheng Yujin finally settled on his target husband, champion Yuan Qinglin. By the way, for her and her husband-in-law's good life in the future, while still in contact with Cheng Yuanjing now, she should please the Lord.
No, it's called Junfenyou.
Cheng Yujin had been with Cheng Yuanjing all night, and the next day she went to the Qingfu County Lord as usual and found that Cheng Yuanxian was also there.
Rarely, the sun is coming west today.
It can be seen that the girls in Qingfu's house are also not used to it. They are all happy like the Chinese New Year. The master of Qingfu County was wearing red clothes, his face beaming with joy, when he saw Cheng Yujin coming in, he gave a smiley face: "The big girl is here."
Cheng Yujin also skillfully put on a smile and saluted the first two people: "Daughter pleases the father and mother, the second old Fulu Baishou, the last blessing."
The master of Qingfu County laughed when he heard it. A few words from Cheng Yujin poked the heart of Master Qingfu County. Which woman did n’t expect to accompany her husband with Bai Shou, the master of Qingfu County could not see Cheng Yuanxian several times a month, and she came to her house today. Cheng Yujin said "Fu Lu Bai Shou" as soon as she opened her mouth, but it was not to discuss Extremely happy. As for Houfu Mianchang, of course it is the sons and grandchildren. Qingfu remembered his baby son more and more openly.
Hearing the auspicious words early in the morning, the master of Qingfu County was in a good mood and even looked up at Cheng Yujin. She carefully measured the range of Yujin, and it was a pity in her heart that if Cheng Yujin really crawled out of her stomach, it would be a blessing to have such a smart and beautiful eldest daughter. It's a pity that she is from the cheap life of Erfang.
Cheng Yuanxian saw Cheng Yujin coming and asked, "Sister Jin, how are you doing in the near future?"
Cheng Yujin glanced silently at the master of Qingfu County and said, "Thanks to the mother's care, her daughter is all right."
The Qingfu County Lord's face was a lot more beautiful to the naked eye, and Cheng Yuanxian also nodded to Qingfu with satisfaction: "It seems that you really care about Sister Jin, this is good."
He also said to Cheng Yujin: "Your mother has been a housekeeper for many years and has rich experience. You are not too young. You should learn more from your mother."
Cheng Yujin quietly looked at Cheng Yuanxian, who never cared about her children, pretending to be a kind father. She smiled just the same: "Daughter understands, thanks father for teaching."
Cheng Yuanxian said a few words, and felt that he was a good father who could not be more responsible. He was very satisfied, and with complacency, he slowly revealed his true intentions: "Sister Jin, you walked at the end yesterday, did you hear what your grandfather said?"
Cheng Yujin couldn't help mentioning a breath, why did Cheng Yuanxian ask so? Did he find anything?
Cheng Yujin said quietly, "No, never. The grandfather was asleep at the time, and the daughter did not hear the voice. Why did the father ask?"
"It's nothing." Cheng Yuanxian raised his hands together, and after a while, still couldn't help saying, "Listen to the next person, after everyone left yesterday, Cheng Yuanjing went back again. I don't know what his father said to him."
Cheng Yujin understood it when he heard it. There were many eyes in the courtyard of the mansion. Cheng Yuanjing returned from the outside. It was impossible for a long road to be alone. He returned to Old Hou Ye ’s yard yesterday and was still seen.
No matter how Yuan Xian said this, at least it showed that her whereabouts were not exposed. Everyone in the Cheng family did not know that Cheng Yujin was there at the time, otherwise, Cheng Yuanxian would not be such an interrogative tone.
Cheng Yujin had a count in his heart, and said indifferently: "Nine Uncle sent the Taiji doctor out of the house. He didn't know that his father and others had left. No wonder he went straight back to his grandfather's yard. Is there anything his father wants to bring to Jiu Shu? "
"What do I have to say to him!" Cheng Yuanxian sneered with a look of contempt, "I'm just afraid that my father is old and confused, leaving my family's property to outsiders."
Cheng Yujin knew that Cheng Yuanxian was worried about his family property. It's not just doubting Cheng Yuanjing's identity. Cheng Yujin undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief, but some complex emotions came into her. Old Master Hou Cheng was counting Cheng Yuanjing when he was about to die, seeking benefits for his children and grandchildren. And his good sons, before waiting for him to swallow, counted the property of Old Hou Cheng.
Cheng Yujin suddenly felt sore. She could all hear that Cheng Laohou deliberately hijacked Cheng Yuanjing with his illness and affection yesterday. How could Cheng Yuanjing not hear it? His biological father refused to recognize him, and half his adoptive father thought about his son. How did he feel when he heard these words?
