Greetings, Ninth Uncle
Chapter 67: Kaji
Empress Yang is a hard-minded person who likes to make her own decisions. This may have something to do with her life experience. Empress Yang's life was very smooth. She was born in a well-off family when she was a girl. She has no worry about clothing and food.
After entering the palace, although her pets were mediocre, she could not bear luck. After a limited number of pets, she became pregnant, and later gave birth to the eldest son directly. The mother is very expensive, and the empress dowager was named Queen. After a few years, the most concubine, the most pampered and extravagant concubine, gave birth to the second prince.
The second prince was named King Rong at a young age. The first emperor loved the child very much, and even once thought of making him a prince. However, due to the ancestor's rule of "have no heirs and no elders" and the huge civilians in the past, this idea could not be implemented. Empress Yang, who was the queen at the time, quickly became cruel in the harem because she gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor. She also vigorously promoted her younger brother and fought with the royal concubine Rongwang.
Fairy fights, mortals can't blend in. Even the same princes have high and low, and Kang Wang Lihuan, whose birth mother is only a low court lady, is obviously a low-grade. The Empress Dowager didn't even care about King Kang, but a prince who was not favored and had no talents. Earlier, he received the title and became a fan. Having a few more children on the land of the fan was the greatest contribution to the court.
But no one expected the next thing. The Crown Prince and Rong Wang struggled. They didn't check the accidental death for a while. The first emperor learned that he was furious. Queen Yang and Yang Fucheng refused to give up. The Prince's so-called accident was nothing but the assassination of King Rong.
King Rong was relegated as a servant, and the imperial concubine collapsed. The first emperor lost two sons one after another. After dealing with Queen Rong, he couldn't afford to fall ill.
The Queen Mother Yang reported her revenge for half her life, and her enemies, but her son could never return. After the empress Yang ’s suffering, at the suggestion of Yang Fucheng, he voluntarily summoned King Kang, who had a child in Phan Thiet, to return to Beijing.
The throne must be cheaper for others. Instead of choosing a mother whose strength is strong and not easy to be selected by the ministers, it is better to do it yourself and sell the new emperor. Empress Yang chose Li Huan, the king of Kang. Before Li Huan arrived in Beijing, the Emperor Xian did not hold on to the last side of seeing his unfavorable third son, so he let go.
Afterwards, Empress Yang arranged the funeral of Emperor Xian and the enthronement ceremony of Li Huan, and she was promoted to Empress Dowager. Immediately, Empress Yang's power in the harem quickly expanded, and after the Yang family came out of the second queen, basically reached the peak.
At the same time, everyone in the Yang family was also promoted, and Yang Fucheng even controlled the cabinet. Under one person and more than 10,000 people, it was basically the actual master of this country.
Although Empress Yang has had twists and turns in her life, she generally developed according to her expectations, so she also became extremely arbitrary and tough, and no one dared to refute her words.
Empress Yang said she wanted to leave the palace, no matter whether it is feasible or not to go out of the palace in the cold winter, how much manpower and material resources will be spent, how many people will be tossed, and how many people will be tossed. She said that she is to leave the palace. And this time the emperor also followed the mischief, even going to accompany the queen mother personally to incense. The Libe and Yulinjun hurried away, and finally cleared a clean and safe road before December.
A few days before the beginning of December, the empress dowager and the emperor's ceremonial departed from the palace and walked all the way to Xiangji Mountain.
The Queen Mother traveled for ten miles from the winding road, and the counties were countless. The Yiluowei in the front lane had already left the city. The Queen Mother ’s frame had not yet left the palace gate. I had to wait a few days from the early morning until the sun was up, and finally moved forward a few steps.
The queen mother was accompanied by female officers and eunuchs, as well as the wife of the official family and his wife, and these ladies and wives also had maidservants, and half-girl-like maidservants could not do rough work. Miscellaneous ... The personnel are layered on top of one another, and one can imagine how huge the team is.
Cheng Yujin is also a member of the accompanying female family. Although it was tiring, Cheng Yujin didn't need to do anything at all. The empress dowager Shangxiang was unable to accompany her. The Yang family and other prominent people had already filled up these places, and the Yichun Houfu had no sense of presence, and no prominent relatives and friends, followed the large army to Xiangji Temple After going through the process, in fact it's all right.
At this moment, Rao Cheng Chengjin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Cheng Yujin is still Miss Hou Fu, who has been tossing all day long. What should the officials in charge and the slaves below be like?
Move your mouth above and break your leg below. But there is no way out. Cheng Yujin dare not show his complaints. The gentle man who is still smiling, goes to the lounge to please Mrs. Cheng.
Xiangji Temple occupies a large area, so is Rao. It is not an easy job to suddenly place so many ladies. Because of the limited space, the largest and most spacious scented house is naturally the queen mother, followed by Mrs. Yang's wife, first wife Mrs. Qian's, and several young grandmothers and aunt's grandmothers of the Yang family. By the ordinary honor, there were only five or six people squeezing a second-class fragrance room.
However, it's still good to be crowded in the scented room. There are ladies outside who don't even have a foothold. You can't sit outside on this important occasion, so you can only stand all the way. Because Mrs. Cheng was old and senior, she was fortunate enough to take a rest in the guest room. Although the husband of Qingfu County was useless, he was the governor after all. He had a royal face and also had a seat.
This is probably the most concentrated density of honors and honors. On weekdays, the husbands who treat themselves with superiority have to endure and squeeze together in a small house. If any juniors come to visit, naturally everyone will comment together.
This is exactly the purpose of Cheng Yujin, she made a special trip to show her face. Taking advantage of such a good opportunity today, she has to show her face in front of her wife as much as possible, demonstrating her talents and generosity, not knowing where her marriage came from.
Cheng Yujin followed Xiao Shami's instructions and walked to the house where Mrs. Cheng was. Today is a natural social platform. No one will give up a great opportunity. Everyone flows in a small area. The place where Mrs. Cheng ’s place is not fixed. Cheng Yujin just followed the master of Qingfu County and broke up with Mrs. Cheng. She had to go back now and had to ask Sha Mi for directions first.
Cheng Yujin passed by many fragrant houses as he walked along. If he met a boudoir acquaintance, he had to stop and talk to one or two. Just like this, he happened to meet Cheng Yumo halfway.
Cheng Yujin didn't want to delay time because of Cheng Yumo's wife. Mrs. Cheng's seniority, the other high-end ladies must bring their juniors to Mrs. Cheng to please please. Cheng Yujin sat next to him. If she talks to Cheng Yumo, delaying her time not to say it also affects her picking her future mother-in-law.
However, it was too late when Cheng Yujin wanted to avoid it. Cheng Yumo followed behind Huo Xue's family. There was no copy of her in front of her mother-in-law. Cheng Yumo was so bored that she saw Cheng Yujin in a blink of an eye. Cheng Yumo was stunned for a moment, and then shouted directly: "Big sister?"
Cheng Yujin sighed in his heart, yeah, this time he couldn't even make it out of sight. No matter what she thought in her heart, the smile on Cheng Yujin's face had never been cold. She heard the voice, as if she found Cheng Yumo standing in another yard, and walked gently and softly: "Two sisters."
The few ladies who spoke to Huoxue stopped and looked back at the people who came. Cheng Yujin gradually approached, and her face also appeared in front of everyone. The husband and wife were surprised, all with surprised and curious eyes, waiting for Huoxue's introduction.
Huo Xueshi was a little annoyed that Cheng Yumo made a random voice and interrupted her. When Huoxue's person came back to see Cheng Yujin, his face was even more ugly. Everyone was staring, Huo Xueshi was not good to give Cheng Yumo a cold face in front of him, so he said lightly: "This is the old girl of the Cheng family, my sister-in-law's sister."
"Cheng Family? Is that Cheng Family in Yichun Hou Mansion?"
Cheng Yujin approached, and naturally answered: "It is." She finished, and naturally saluted several ladies present: "Mrs. Wanfu, the girl pleases the wives."
Cheng Yujin's voice, movement, and etiquette are impeccable. The husbands looked at each other and felt shocked: "So you are the eldest girl of the Cheng family. The grandmother of the second aunt married Jingyong Hou Mansion. Haven't seen the eldest girl very much. "
Cheng Yujin smiled unchanged, saying: "The wives said that it was just that the second sister had just gotten married, and there were many places she did n’t understand that Mrs. Huo would teach. If we offend and visit, I ’m afraid it will cause Mrs. Huo trouble, so the grandmother will Stayed in the house. "
This paragraph is brilliant. In fact, there are such big circles in the capital. The Cheng family and the Huo family have all heard about it, including why Cheng Yujin is still called a girl. Cheng Yumo has become Huo Xue ’s daughter-in-law, and several ladies have There are counts. It's just that everyone didn't say what they wanted.
The wife of Fang Cai regretted it as soon as she spoke. Why didn't Cheng Yujin go to Jingyong Hou Mansion, but was it not because of divorce and filial piety? However, none of them was able to get the reason to say on the table. She asked like this, but it seemed to deliberately embarrass Cheng Yujin.
But Cheng Yujin's reply was unexpectedly brilliant. She bypassed divorce and filial piety, and settled the reason on Cheng Yumo's serving her mother-in-law. In this way, Cheng Yumo will not lose his face, Huoxue's will look good, and he will unintentionally reveal Cheng Yumo's filial piety. When marrying a girl's wife, Yichun Houfu, as a natal family, of course has a bright face.
The several ladies present were shocked and happy, and gave Cheng Yujin a high glance. Huoxue's noticed that several people were looking at her secretly and wonderingly. Huoxue could guess what they were thinking without asking. It is nothing but strange. Cheng Yujin looks right, has a good personality, and can speak. Why did the Huo family retire?
Huoxue's heart suffocated, and his mood was even worse. Huoxue's young widowhood actually cares about other people's eyes, and her decision to retreat from Cheng Yujin to Cheng Yumo is not entirely correct. Huoxue was already annoyed in her heart, and others reminded her again and again that Huoxue was even more irritable.
Cheng Yujin was a girl from someone else's family, and it was not her turn to give Huoxue's instructions, so Huoxue's anger was poured on Cheng Yumo. Not to mention, during these days, Huo Xueshi really became more and more disappointed to see Cheng Yumo. Especially when she was lying on the ground softly, Huo Changyuan was crying, Huo Xueshi was very angry every time she saw it.
Huo Xueshi said: "There is nothing to add to the trouble. The marriage of the children is fixed. Since the married man is the man of Houfu, even if it is not done properly in some places, I always have to teach slowly in the same way, accumulating years and months. Yes, I might be able to teach it. If these things are in a hurry, if the girl Cheng and the old lady Cheng have something to say, there is no need to delay it. "
Cheng Yumo lowered his head after listening to it, almost complacent. Huo Xue's is usually very harsh and harsh, and can't say good words in his mouth. Cheng Yumo can tolerate at home, but now in front of many outsiders, even in front of Cheng Yujin, Huo Xueshi also said that Cheng Yumo felt very embarrassed.
Cheng Yumo got up today before dawn, because she was going to the palace to accompany her. She got up earlier than usual. In the morning, she hurriedly did n’t even have breakfast, so she waited for Huoxue to get up and dress up. Then, he followed her mother-in-law into the palace, and the boat rider went to Xiangji Temple. More than half of the day has passed. Cheng Yumo has not sat down and rested since opening his eyes to the present.
However, she was so hard that she had to be picked on by her mother-in-law. Cheng Yumo's face was pale and his lips were bloodless, and he looked very pitiful.
Cheng Yujin frowned secretly. She understood how hard Huoxue was, but now, is it too harsh?
Cheng Yujin represents the Cheng family. In front of his family, Huoxue dare to say Cheng Yumo in this way. In private, he does not know how harsh it should be.
Cheng Yujin glanced at Cheng Yumo lightly and quickly. The road was chosen by herself. She didn't sympathize with Cheng Yumo, but Huo Xueshi said this in front of her family, but she didn't give Cheng family a face. Cheng Yujin is not used to her because of this problem.
Cheng Yujin then smiled and said: "If there is anything wrong with the second sister, it is naturally that our Cheng family is not good at teaching, and it will cause Mrs. Huo to bother. The grandmother also asked about the second sister, she is the youngest daughter at home After being spoiled for ten years, I was afraid that she would be wronged outside. I did n’t expect to cause trouble to Mrs. Huo. Do n’t worry, Madam, I will take her back and let my grandmother direct her. ”
Cheng Yujin's remarks were polite, but with a gun and a stick outside the voice, Huoxue's face suddenly became not very good-looking. After Cheng Yujin finished speaking, he did not wait for Huoxue's reaction and said, "The grandmother has been waiting for a long time, and the juniors are not good to stay any longer. My two sisters and I retired first.
Cheng Yumo heard Cheng Yujin's words faintly, but he was afraid that he would offend Huoxue's family. After returning home, he had no good fruit to eat. She hesitated, not knowing whether to follow her, of course, she wanted to go back to her family, but Huoxue's ...
Huo Xue's face was red and choked by Cheng Yujin's ironic words, and was said face to face by his daughter-in-law's sister, Huo Xue's face was very shameless. At this time, in front of everyone, she stopped Cheng Yumo from letting her go, wouldn't she just sit down on her harsh reputation?
Huo Xueshi squeezed out a smile, and said to Cheng Yumo: "Since Yumo entered the door, I treated her as a daughter, and loved me deeply, and I was strict with her. It seems that I speak fast , People misunderstood, how can I be willing to blame Yu Mo? I'm too late to hurt her. "
After talking, Huoxue still said to Cheng Yumo with the kind of face that was not smiling at all, "I blame me, I forgot my mother's family and missed my daughter. Since Mrs. Cheng is waiting for you, you will soon go with the elder girl Right. Go early and return early. "
Cheng Yumo was flattered. She didn't confirm that it was true until Huo Xueshi said it again. She bowed her head quickly to salute and followed Cheng Yujin.
After walking out of Huoxue's eyes, Cheng Yumo felt that his pores were all free. As soon as she lifted her eyes, she saw Cheng Yujin, who was in front of her side.
Cheng Yujin had never complained with his family in his previous life, so Cheng Yumo felt that Cheng Yujin's life in the past must have been very comfortable, and it was not until his turn that he realized the pain.
Cheng Yumo followed behind Huoxue all day long, got up from Huoxue in the early morning, and waited until Huoxue had a rest at night. Even if Huoxue was so compassionate one day that she couldn't make her work, Cheng Yumo would have to stand from morning to night, during which he could only sit down for lunch.
Standing one day for a whole day, every day like this, is it casual to talk about it. Cheng Yumo was used to Huo Xue's suppression of her, but she didn't expect that Cheng Yujin would be the one who stood up like a woman and said justice for herself.
