Greetings, Ninth Uncle
Chapter 66: Gong Wei
After Cheng Yumo returned to the door banquet, the biggest celebration of Yichun Hou House was completed this year. Everyone in the Cheng family bears filial piety. Cheng Yumo was already the Huo family after he got married.
The master of Qingfu County and others have rested their thoughts and stayed in Hou House honestly to keep filial piety for Hou Cheng.
It entered November in a blink of an eye, the weather became cold and hard, and he blew out when he went out. Cheng Yujin wore a fluffy bib around her neck and wore a silver-pink jacket with cashmere jackets to go to Mrs. Cheng for routine comfort.
She stayed at home for several months without leaving her home, and she was very calm and self-cultivating. The business of Linlang Pavilion and Yunyifang is on the right track. At the end of each month, Cheng Yujin sends an account book. Cheng Yujin prepares a new pattern for the second month based on the account book and sales. When she was ready, she was sent to the Cheng Yuanjing courtyard and asked Liu Yi to help her out.
Knowing that his external strength is weak, Cheng Yujin paid special attention to having a good relationship with the little fellow in Cheng Yuanjing's courtyard. They ran outside all day and they were well-informed and well-informed, and Cheng Yujin stayed in the house without leaving home. She was the last to know what happened outside. Cooperate with these little people, maybe when they will be used.
It is a pity that Cheng Yuanjing is bound to leave, and these people will soon be used by her, so in the end, it will be better to use it.
Over the past few months, Yunyifang and Linlang Pavilion have also gradually gained fame and passed on the stele among females. At first it was Yunyifang. After all, Yunyifang was located on the most prosperous street. The women who lived nearby found it by accident. The picture tried the new look of Yunyifang. Later, it was found that Yunyifang's cutting was very clever. The same For cloth, the other cloth cloth house is just as pretty as Yunyifang. And Yunyifang regularly launches new styles every month. Female guests have passed on dozens of times, and more and more repeat customers. The reputation of Yunyifang has spread from the circle of mid-range rich households to the high gate where Cheng Yujin is located. Xungui circle.
The Linlang Pavilion is a little slower than Yunyifang. After all, the clothes change every quarter, but the jewelry can be used for a long time. However, women's beauty is unstoppable, and some women have worn Linlangge's jewellery to go out as guests. After one or two visits, more and more people know Linlangge.
Cheng Yujin felt very satisfied when he saw the books at the end of each month.
Without any worries, such as money and money, she resolved her marital problems. Her husband-in-law, Lin Qingyuan, hasn't appeared in a long time.
Perhaps it was not that Lin Qingyuan had not been to Yichun Hou Man for such a long time, but that Cheng Yujin had never encountered it again. During this time, Cheng Yujin frequently ran to Cheng Yuanjing's courtyard on the grounds of borrowing books. However, how many times she traveled back and forth, she was not surprised to encounter Lin Qingyuan once.
Cheng Yujin didn't feel it. It was logically impossible. She always did well every time she came, deliberately picking the time period when Lin Qingyuan often visited Cheng Yuanjing. Why did you never see him once?
Cheng Yujin didn't think of Cheng Yuanjing. Liu Yi and others are all people in the inner court to discuss life, full-time to please the master, this set of arrangements is the most fluent. If they didn't want the two to meet, even if they walked across from each other at the same time, they had a way to make the two diverge.
A calm and regular life can easily make people lose their sense of time. Cheng Yujin's plan has not been promoted for a long time. She should have been anxious, but perhaps because the current state is too calm and comfortable, she even felt that it was not bad. She pleased her every morning and took a nap at noon. She went to Cheng Yuanjing's house to read a book and stood by Lin Qingyuan. If she couldn't finish it in the evening, she would often come back with a book and come and go. Both sides became her destination.
Cheng Yujin changed her furry winter clothes. As soon as she entered the yard, the maid in the house saw it. The maid quickly came out to pick the curtain for her and said with joy: "The big girl is here!"
Cheng Yumo has been married and will come to Mrs. Cheng every day, only Cheng Yujin remains. Gradually, it has become the hope of Shou An Tang's maid, as if the big girl is coming, the new day officially begins.
Cheng Yujin nodded and smiled at the maid and asked, "How about grandma?"
"The old lady is inside. The old lady just said that she has no appetite today, but the old girl came. The old lady likes the old girl the most. If the old girl looks at it, maybe the appetite will be fine."
"Oh, my grandmother has a bad appetite?" Cheng Yujin glanced upstairs and said, "I'm going to see my grandmother. Thanks to you for reminding me, Forsythia, to prepare this sister for some early tea money."
Forsythia understood, stepped forward and shoved a broken silver knot to the maid. The maid laughed and reluctantly said, "Why is this so funny."
"Grandmother can't leave here, thanks to my sister watching it for me. This is some of my thoughts, my sister took it for a cup of hot tea, just let me be at ease, OK?"
The maid just accepted it halfway. Therefore, Shou Antang's maid likes Cheng Yujin very much. The eldest girl can make people shine every day without saying anything. As long as they are sweet-hearted and diligent, they can be rewarded by Cheng Yujin every day.
In this way, the ladies like to run errands for Cheng Yujin. What is the matter with Shou Antang? They are also fighting to tell Cheng Yujin just to get the first reward.
Cheng Yujin looked at the girl's eyes and put away the broken silver, and she smiled more softly. She is now making a lot of money every month. Yunyifang and Linlang Pavilion can bring huge profits to her every month. She lives and lives in Yichun Houfu. Recently, because she is filial piety, she does not need to go out for entertainment. She couldn't get in or out. These broken pieces of silver were not money in her eyes.
However, such small amounts of money can make the maid beside Mrs. Cheng more like her. Cheng Yujin can do more with less. Are happy with each other, why not do it.
Just now, for example, Cheng Yujin made a face-to-face meeting, and she knew that Mrs. Cheng had just got up and had a bad appetite. I didn't want to eat early in the morning, and it was obvious that last night's sleep was not a pleasant one. Cheng Yujin knew what to say in a while.
Cheng Yujin walked into the house, first untied his cloak and neck brace and put on soft-soled shoes walking around the room, but then went west. Unlike other charcoal-burning houses in Hou House, Mrs. Cheng had a ground dragon here, and it burned as soon as he entered autumn. Warm and dry air circulates in the ground, even the floor is warm, and it is very comfortable to step on it. People walk in the house and just wear the spring and summer clothes.
Mrs. Cheng's house was warm like spring, and others would not have this comfort. In other yards, including Cheng Yujin ’s house, charcoal fire is used. Even if the best charcoal is used, it is not necessary to worry about the charcoal fire. It is not as good as the large-scale earth dragon like Mrs. Cheng. At least Cheng Yujin was in his house, so he dared not wear a single coat.
She unloaded her heavy clothes and was suddenly light. Cheng Yujin sincerely sighed that the old lady was really comfortable. When a woman is young, she serves her elders in her natal family, waits for her mother-in-law after she gets married, and waits for her seniority to get up. She has to worry about her children. The days she really enjoys in her life are probably only when she is an old lady.
Like Mrs. Cheng, everything is irrelevant, but the entire government still holds the money right in her hands. The two sons and daughter-in-law must be careful to please her. Every day, the young granddaughter is funny in front of her, how comfortable. Cheng Yujin's goal is to become Mrs. Cheng in the future.
However, all this is based on Cheng Yuanxian, Cheng Yuanhan is the birth of Mrs. Cheng Yuanxian, and Cheng Yuanxian is about to become the next heir of Hou Fu. When these two conditions are missing, Mrs. Cheng cannot be so happy.
Therefore, the root of happiness in the old age is still that the biological son should be in power. Cheng Yujin stepped on the warm and mellow floor of Shou An Tang, married into the high gate, realized the leap in class, and his idea of living a comfortable life in his later years was more firm.
Cheng Yujin walked to the innermost place. Sure enough, Mrs. Cheng crouched on the bed of Luohan, with a forehead cradled on her forehead, embellished with a broad bean emerald. The light in the room was dim, and Mrs. Cheng was sluggish, leaning on a soft pillow, and letting her beat her legs.
Cheng Yujin walked in, and when he saw the situation, he naturally smiled and said, "Grandmother, good day."
Mrs. Cheng nodded with no energy. Cheng Yujin saw it and walked quietly to the bed of Luohan, taking over the work of her maid, and poured a cup of hot tea to Mrs. Cheng: "Grandmother, listen to your majesty. Is n’t it good? The granddaughter got up late tonight and did n’t have time to eat when she was going out. She was planning to come to the grandmother to rub her rice. Can you please, grandmother, let the granddaughter rub the skills of your kitchen? "
Mrs. Cheng was said to laugh. Early in the morning, when she saw the young and beautiful girl, everyone was happy. Mrs. Cheng's eyebrows unfolded unconsciously. She said, "Since you haven't eaten yet, let's set the meal first."
After seeing Cheng Yujin's words in two words, the ladies had persuaded Mrs. Cheng to eat, and they all couldn't help but cast their gratitude and admiration. They had persuaded for a long time, and their mouths were almost worn away, but Mrs. Cheng's reaction was weak, and she was even impatient. As soon as the eldest girl came, only two sentences made sense.
Sure enough, there is still a way for older girls.
No one dared to buckle Mrs. Cheng's wife. Mrs. Cheng's breakfast was already prepared. She had been warming in the small kitchen. Hearing Mrs. Cheng finally passed the meal, the lady-in-law was busy coming over. The tinkling cups filled a table, and Mrs. Cheng's dishes were the best. Even breakfast was so rich. Congee, snacks, and side dishes were all in place, and they almost couldn't be put in the end.
Cheng Yujin sighed in his heart, feeling more and more rich and powerful. I don't know when she will reach the level of Mrs. Cheng.
Cheng Yujin is a granddaughter and not a daughter-in-law, so she can sit down and eat together at this moment. She really didn't eat in the morning. She raised her chopsticks and looked at Mrs. Cheng's eyes to serve her vegetables. During the whole process, she persuaded and tried the food. Mrs. Cheng didn't eat much, and Cheng Yujin tried herself.
However, Mrs. Cheng is old and has a bad appetite. Today's consumption has reached the usual average. Shou Antang's maid saw Cheng Yujin as if he were looking at the Salvation Bodhisattva. Cheng Yujin observed that Mrs. Cheng had eaten almost, and she also put down her chopsticks at the right time: "Grandmother, granddaughter waiting for you to drink hot tea?"
Mrs. Cheng nodded, and Cheng Yujin took the tea from her maid and handed it to Mrs. Cheng. It is said that Cheng Yujin is waiting, in fact, she is just a hand, there are very few places where she really needs her to work.
Mrs. Cheng changed to the Luohan bed outside for tea, and the young ladies saw the machine and withdrew the pan. After Mrs. Cheng finished drinking, the master of Qingfu County also came slowly.
The owner of Qingfu County came to ask Mrs. Cheng for peace. No one expected her to do more. As usual, Mrs. Cheng and her daughter-in-law made a face-to-face relationship, asked a few words, and let her go straight back. I do n’t know what ’s wrong today. Mrs. Cheng even stayed in Qingfu County and asked a few more words: "Is it good? Brother Bao recently? The temperature has dropped a few days ago. The weather is cold and dry. Are the people there alert? "
"Mother assured, I have beaten several times. They get up three times a night and cover the quilt specifically for Bao'er. It will be fine." The master of Qingfu County replied quickly.
For her own son, Qingfu does have a heart. Mrs. Cheng nodded and turned to another thing that was not in the head: "The temperature changed a few days ago, and many people fell ill. I heard that the Queen Mother in the palace was also infected with the wind and cold. Yes. The queen mother is worried about the queen, so she went to ask the queen for a peace symbol. She didn't expect the queen to be okay. The queen mother was very happy and said she wanted to go to the Bodhisattva. "
"Oh?" The Lord Gyeongbok raised his eyebrows in surprise. Things in the palace have nothing to do with people's committees like them, except that the process family is after all Hou's house, and how many generations have managed to accumulate some contacts. Just like the movements of the ladies in the palace, Qingfu, the master of the county, did not know it. Instead, Mrs. Cheng, who was old and decayed, seemed to be trapped in the Hou Mansion for the first time.
Cheng Yujin didn't rush away after eating, and also followed Mrs. Cheng's reputation. He didn't expect to hear such a news. Mrs. Cheng, when he said it, he was definitely not just talking about it. There must be something behind it.
Cheng Yujin didn't care much about the things in the palace. Those nobles were too far away from her. Although she was a Houmen girl, she was still several orders of magnitude away from the palace. She hasn't even seen the unconventional and unfavorable concubine, how can you meet the queen and the queen mother?
What is right in front of planning is called foresight. Planning and things that are not in one class are beyond self-control. Cheng Yujin understands his own weight, so he will not do anything that wastes energy and returns nothing.
But since she overheard the conversation between Cheng Yuanjing and Hou Cheng, and learned the true identity of Cheng Yuanjing, it seemed that the distant court suddenly pulled her in front of her, and Cheng Yujin started to pay attention to the changes in the palace unconsciously. Just now, for example, Mrs. Cheng talked about the Queen and the Queen Mother. Cheng Yujin, who had never paid much attention before, quietly put up her ears and listened carefully to Mrs. Cheng's next words.
The master of Gyeongbok asked: "Mother, what does the empress dowager mean? She wants to make a petition, how did she return the Fa?"
Mrs. Cheng sighed, with a solemn dignity in her voice: "The empress dowager will leave the palace in person and go to Xiangji Mountain to make a wish."
"Ah?" The master of Qingfu County was taken aback and quickly asked, "Is the news correct?"
Mrs. Cheng said nothing, but nodded slightly. Master Qingfu and Cheng Yujin both understood. It seems that the distinguished Queen Mother has made a good decision.
It is not a trivial matter for the Queen Mother to leave the palace, and now that the Queen Mother ’s status is particularly high, her travels will not be small. Most of the time, women of high grade in Beijing must accompany them.
The surviving men in Yichun Houfu did not make any achievements in their career, but they were ashamed that they had a knighthood and second grade.
And Qingfu himself still has the title of the master of the county, and he has a second-grade grade alone. No matter from which direction, Cheng Yujin has the opportunity to accompany him.
Cheng Yujin somewhat understood why Mrs. Cheng was not thinking early in the morning, but she could not understand why she was so worried that she had no appetite to eat. Isn't it a good thing that the Cheng family, a half-hanging son Houfu, who can't be beaten by the eight poles, has the opportunity to travel with the empress dowager? Why is Mrs. Cheng implicitly worried?
The owner of Qingfu County did not think so far as Cheng Yujin thought. After confirming the news, her eyes and eyebrows were full of uncontrollable joy: "This is so good. I haven't asked the queen mother for a few years."
Mrs. Cheng sighed and said, "If only the queen mother is out of the palace, the queen mother would have been a very hard-working and undisputed temperament. What is surprising is that the Holy Mother should also accompany the queen mother to the mountain to make a wish."
Cheng Yujin heard the emperor, and he felt a sudden sigh. To say that the Empress Dowager left the palace alone, although it is somewhat inexplicable, but it makes sense. After all, the Empress Dowager respects Buddhism and donates many merits to the temple every year. But it was very unusual for the emperor to accompany the palace.
This is where Mrs. Cheng could not figure it out. Now that the emperor has passed the heyday of Spring and Autumn, the second prince is getting bigger, and the prince is still missing. .
Mrs. Cheng had been worried before, but thinking about the appearance of her two sons, she felt that with the anger of the Cheng family now, no matter how big your waves are, the Cheng family could not be photographed. But this time the emperor suddenly left the palace uncharacteristically, exploding the anxiety of Mrs. Cheng's dust.
Could it be that the sky will change so soon? Did the emperor get out of the palace?
The master of Qingfu County rejoiced. She saw Mrs. Cheng ’s face sighing, and she kept sighing for a long time. Cheng Yujin also bowed her head and did n’t speak. She felt very uncomprehensible: “The emperor wanted to leave the palace. The queen is also supported by the queen mother. He is filial and loyal to the queen mother, and he wishes to accompany the queen mother. Is n’t it unusual? "
Mrs. Cheng sighed and said, "Maybe."
Cheng Yujin stood aside, silent. Mrs. Cheng could not understand why, but she roughly guessed.
In the past, Cheng Yujin might not think much, but now she knows Cheng Yuanjing's true identity, where can she not understand what the emperor's purpose was to leave the palace?
Perhaps, the emperor deliberately made such a big circle, he did not hesitate to accompany the empress dowager, filial piety, etc., the real purpose is just to see Cheng Yuanjing.
Cheng Yuanjing, it's almost time to restore your identity.
