Greetings, Ninth Uncle
Chapter 75: Chinese New Year
This New Year, Cheng Yujin had a calm and indifferent life. She watched everyone in Yichun Hou House put up firecrackers, and the crackling sound of firecrackers was deafening. Cheng Enbao was standing in the courtyard and surrounded by the third and third floors, standing in the courtyard, yelling and directing the firecrackers to release firecrackers.
The colorful firecrackers rose into the sky, and the time when the yard was illuminated was dark and dark. Everyone was hiding under the cloister, pointing at the fireworks outside with surprise. The New Year is rare to relax. The big and small maids of Yichun Hou are on vacation. At this moment, they are surrounded by the cloister, and even the old Mrs. Cheng, who has always been tall, is supported by the maid to watch the fireworks. Mrs. Cheng watched a few grandchildren running around in the yard, full of energy, and smiled comfortably.
The master of Qingfu County and Nguyen Shih squeezed beside Mrs. Cheng. They would point out the fireworks for a while, and then tell the old lady to be careful of debris, and the children in red clothes ran around on the ground, causing adults to laugh from time to time. Cheng Yujin looked at this scene from afar, and reason told her that she should also walk over and accompany Mrs. Cheng to speak auspicious words. However, after a long time, Cheng Yujin was determined to stand on the spot and looked at Qingfu and Mrs. Cheng indifferently. Wait for someone.
In this season, they are more like a family. Cheng Yujin seems to be an outsider with nowhere to lie, separated from everything by a layer. No matter where she goes, the laughter and laughter will stop. Although everyone greets her warmly, but the face is always held, only when she is gone, they are secretly relieved, and they can speak their own words freely.
Cheng Yujin couldn't get in, in fact, Cheng Yujin didn't want to get in at all. There seems to be an invisible barrier separating her from everything. Cheng Yujin watched it for a while, and really could not feel the joy, so he took the cover of the night and walked away quietly.
She returned to her room. On New Year's Eve today, the girl-in-law ran outside to see the firecrackers. The well-kept courtyard seemed empty at the moment. Cheng Yujin was sitting by the window, and the laughter outside passed through the heavy doorway, and when it reached her ears, it was already very blurry, and even the sound of the firecrackers was attenuated a lot.
Only the smell of fire in his body reminded him of it.
Cheng Yujin stared at the outside, but couldn't help being distracted. On New Year's Eve, the family was reunited, but she did not know where her home was. Whether it is the master of Qingfu County or the Ruan family, they are accompanying their children to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Cheng Yujin used to only disturb their reunion. Cheng Yujin was very interested and did not move forward at all.
There is no place for her in the big room and the second room. Cheng Yujin doesn't know where she can go. Before Cheng Yuanjing left the order, she went to speak to Cheng Yuanjing, but she did not appear depressed. Now that Cheng Yuanjing is not here, Cheng Yujin finds that she is superfluous wherever she is.
As if the world was so big, there was no place for her.
The night was deep, but Cheng Yujin couldn't sleep. After a while, she was going to Mrs. Cheng's house to worship the New Year. She can't sleep yet. At this time, everyone crowded outside to set off fireworks, and Cheng Yujin felt noisy, so he could only sit in the house by himself, waiting quietly for the time to pass, waiting for the arrival of the New Year.
Looking at the world outside the window, she couldn't help but think, where is Cheng Yuanjing at this time?
After returning from Xiangji Temple, Cheng Yujin didn't see Yuan Jing much. Ask the next person, they only vaguely know that Jiuye went to visit friends outside, as to where to go to visit friends, what friends to visit, how long to return, but they do not know. Cheng Yujin heard that Cheng Yuanjing came back once in the middle of the night two days ago, but early in the morning, he went out again.
If you want to come, come back and get things.
Cheng Yuanjing ’s position in the Houfu Palace in Yichun was also very embarrassing. Everyone in the Cheng family did not dare to neglect this young son, who was young and in high office. , No one is close. Cheng Yuanjing is not here for the New Year this year, everyone in the Cheng family is actually relieved. Mrs. Cheng ca n’t see Cheng Yuanjing on a good day, and their mood will only be better, and they can spend a good year.
Tonight, only Cheng Yujin looked over and over again, and over and over again confirmed that Cheng Yuanjing had not returned. Although she didn't say it, there was always a fluke in her heart. Perhaps, Cheng Yuanjing was just too busy to get away, and returned when he was busy.
If it were n’t for the loss in her heart, Cheng Yujin did n’t even think that she was expecting Cheng Yuanjing like this.
With a long sigh, she slowly leaned on the back of the chair, thinking about her thoughts dreamily. Yes, Cheng Yuanjing does not have the surname Cheng. He really didn't have to return to the Cheng family for the Chinese New Year. However, a feast was also held in the Palace on New Year's Eve. At the moment, the palace was blazing brightly. The emperor, together with Queen Yang and Empress Yang, resigned and welcomed the new courtesies under the flattery of many courtiers and relatives. I'm afraid that Cheng Yuanjing can't show up, and can't have a holiday with real loved ones.
Cheng Yujin sighed that his prince was nowhere to return. After thinking about it, Cheng Yujin laughed at herself. She really ate cabbage's fate and worried about the country and the people. Cheng Yuanjing was the prince. Even if it was not convenient to show up, there were people who accompanied him for the holidays.
With these thoughts, it is better to think about your own way.
Thanks to Zhai Yanlin's rebellious move, Cheng Yujin is now in a dilemma. Mrs. Cheng was very satisfied with Cai Guogong's government. Cheng Min was highly married, and only married the second son of Qing Guogong's government, not his wife, but this is enough to make Mrs. Cheng proud. Now that the granddaughter has the opportunity to be the head lady of Cai Guogong, who has more power and higher status, how could Mrs. Cheng be unwilling?
As for Zhai Yanlin's wife and concubine, Cheng Yujin can only be a successor, and Mrs. Cheng doesn't care. Anyway, the original Mrs. Cai Guogong is dead, what is the length of the fight with the dead? Even if Zhai Yanlin already has a son, Mrs. Cheng does not take it seriously.
In Mrs. Cheng's words, things are artificial. Now Zhai Yanlin is determined to pass the title to Zhai Qing, but what about in the future? If the first son is ruined, and the second son is particularly good? Or, is Zhai Qing unable to live as an adult?
There are too many variables in the future. These are all operable spaces. Mrs. Cheng is very at ease with Cheng Yujin. She believes that as long as Cheng Yujin crosses the threshold, the rest will not be a problem.
Cheng Yujin solved the matter quietly without any blood.
As for the granddaughter's life in such a difficult and malicious environment ... this is not within the scope of Mrs. Cheng's consideration. From Mrs. Cheng ’s point of view, which bride does not suffer. Although Cheng Yumo married well, did she suffer from the misery of her mean mother-in-law?
Cheng Yujin thought of laughing ironically here, Mrs. Cheng and Zhai Yanlin really planned one by one. Zhai Yanlin knew that he could not provide anything, but wanted to force her to marry her as a free housekeeper and adoptive mother, and Mrs. Cheng even more so, regardless of the granddaughter's life or death, but secretly directed the granddaughter to kill or even kill the original son. Don't do it and just enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.
These two people, if they have no other ability, would think very much.
They didn't rely on Cheng Yujin's right to speak, so he was unscrupulous, obviously selfish to the extreme, but still pulling the skin of benevolence and justice. It is a pity that Cheng Yujin is not a selfless dedication leader, and if she wants to do business with her, she must follow her rules.
Can't afford the chips, what table to play. Mrs. Cheng and Zhai Yanlin thought about beauty, would Cheng Yujin really do what they thought?
dream.
Cheng Yujin opened his eyes and made the most risky decision in his life on the noisy and lively New Year's Eve.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will win the tiger. She had planned to make plans slowly, and it would be best to have some pre-marital relationship with Lin Qingyuan, but now, there is no time.
New Year's Eve retires from the old and welcomes the new year, when the child arrives, the whole family gathers around Mrs. Cheng, not talking about auspicious words like money. Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but smile, and Cheng Yujin also appeared in Shou An Tang silently, as if the absence just now did not exist.
She also had a warm smile on her face, and gave her grandmother and parents a happy New Year.
The New Year ’s Day was especially lively. On the second day of the second day, the married grandmother returned to her home, and the Yichun Hou House was particularly lively.
Cheng's heir is not prosperous. In the past, only Cheng Min returned to his mother's home. This year, there was one more Cheng Yumo. The two married women came home to bring a car gift, and Cheng Min brought their children together. Cheng Min and Cheng Yumo entered the door one after another, and the Cheng family suddenly became noisy.
The two sons-in-law are talking to Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Yuanhan in the front, while the female relatives are lively and lively in Shou'an Church, talking together at home. The children immediately seemed happy, and the children of the Cheng family and the cousins and sisters of the Xu family mingled together, clamoring, running back and forth on the ground, inexplicably lively.
Mrs. Cheng saw the scene in front of her and smiled happily. Probably all old people are looking forward to the prosperity of their children, Cheng Huan's knees, and snobbish old lady Cheng is no exception.
Cheng Yujin is also in Shou An Tang. At this time, her position was a little embarrassing. Cheng Min and Cheng Yumo were already married. When they came back, they were Mrs. Aunt and Grandma, who were to be held talking. Moreover, the topic of the married person is completely different from the woman who has not been out of the cabinet. Cheng Yujin listened to Cheng Min, Cheng Yumo and Qingfu Ruan's exchange of management, arranged the house, and so on. It was very embarrassing and I did not know to avoid it. Should not be avoided.
However, it would be wrong to go with a cousin like Xu Nianchun who was not out of the cabinet. Cheng Yujin has been a common nightmare for all relatives and children for many years. Cheng Yujin looks good and learns well and rules. She often appears as the elder sister as a manager, so she sits with her sisters to whisper, not only embarrassing Cheng Yujin, but also embarrassing Xu Nianchun and other little girls.
Moreover, Xu Zhixian also came today. He used to love playing with his sisters, and now he is playing chess with Xu Nianchun in Baoxia. Cheng Enci and Cheng Enbei are also crowded out. If Cheng Yujin avoids the adult's place and finds his peers, he will surely meet Xu Zhixian.
At the wedding of Cheng Yumo, Xu Zhixian showed his heart to Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yujin was very surprised and refused very simply. The two hadn't met each other since then, and now they suddenly gathered in a room, embarrassed to think about it.
Cheng Yujin didn't want to see Xu Zhixian, but it seemed that Cheng Min had taught Cheng Yumo the experience of managing concubines and disposing of the climbing bed maid.
It was Du Ruo who followed Cheng Yujin today. Du Ruo had fewer words than Forsythia. She carefully wore a cloak for Cheng Yujin, and then quietly followed Cheng Yujin all the way. Cheng Yujin walked for a while, received a letter from the porter, immediately turned around and walked to Cheng Yuanjing's courtyard.
Since Cheng Yujin discovered that he had never met Lin Qingyuan next to Cheng Yuanjing again, he quickly wanted to understand the reason. She didn't feel anxious in the first place, and she slowly boiled the frog slowly and warmly, but now with the Zhai family's affairs, Cheng Yujin immediately became vigilant and stuffed people into the porter as early as the twelfth lunar month. Cheng Yujin now has a lot of money, and he is extraordinarily generous. The porter collected the money. Once he saw Lin Qingyuan, he sent someone to remind Cheng Yujin.
Unexpectedly, today's luck is so good that it happened to happen. Now that Cheng Yuanjing is not here, it is a godsend.
Cheng Yujin took Du Ruo murderously to block Lin Qingyuan, of course, she could not be found by Lin Qingyuan. Cheng Yujin relied on the ground, deliberately made a circle, and "coincidentally encountered" Lin Qingyuan on a partial door.
Lin Qingyuan was about to go out, and Cheng Yujin came in from the other end. Lin Qingyuan was very surprised to see Cheng Yujin: "Miss Cheng? Why are you here?"
"Lin Bianxiu?" Cheng Yujin also pretended to be very surprised, saying, "Grandma's small kitchen is not busy, I went back to the yard to get some cakes, and I just met you. I didn't come to Jiushu for a while Have you been busy with business recently? "
Lin Qingyuan was stunned to hear Cheng Yujin's words. Obviously he often came to Cheng Yuanjing this winter, which was far from what Cheng Yujin said. Cheng Yujin pretended to know nothing, and looked at Lin Qingyuan with a naive smile. Lin Qingyuan soon wanted to understand this truth and concealed his smile: "Yes, I have been busy recently and haven't come to Jingxing for a long time to talk. By the way, Jingxing has not been here recently. Does Miss Miss know where he went?"
Cheng Yujin would not tell Lin Qingyuan even if she knew, let alone she did not know. Cheng Yujin thought about it for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know. The next person said that Jiu Shu went to visit friends, and he has rarely come back recently."
Lin Qingyuan sighed. As a self-considered friend of Cheng Yuanjing, Lin Qingyuan felt that his heart was very complicated when he heard Cheng Yuanjing's "visit friend" reason. He shook his head and smiled, his eyebrows widened, and he no longer cares: "I wanted to borrow a book from Jingxing. Since he is not here, I will come again someday."
How could Cheng Yujin let him leave like this, Cheng Yujin smiled gently and softly and said, "What book is Brother Lin looking for? I borrowed a lot of Jiu Shu's books and placed them with me. Brother Lin might as well say the title of the book, maybe I have impression."
Cheng Yujin quietly changed his name to Brother Lin.
Lin Qingyuan gave no hope and said a few names casually. Cheng Yujin pondered and said, "The collection of poems is here with me. I have an impression of miscellaneous talks, but I can't remember where. If Brother Lin is not busy, I might as well wait for a while in the guest room. I will find the book."
Lin Qingyuan was overjoyed and bowed his hand: "Thank you Miss Cheng."
"Brother Lin is polite." Cheng Yujin took a step back, avoiding Lin Qingyuan's ritual, and bowed his knees and returned half a ritual. Cheng Yujin said with a smile: "Brother Lin came with me, and the maid did not know how long it would be. It was too rude to let Zhuang Yuanlang stand. It happened that I made a new pastry. Brother Lin came to help me try the taste."
Lin Qingyuan was actually stunned for a moment. He thought it was Cheng Yujin who went back to fetch the book, but did not expect it to be a maidservant. But Cheng Yujin said so, Lin Qingyuan would not refute Cheng Yujin's face. Besides, he also had a vague jump in his heart, and wanted to talk more with Cheng Yujin.
At this time, a group of people stopped at the side gate of Houfu in Yichun, and Cheng Yuanjing turned over immediately. The gatekeeper who was playing cards with the servants heard the sound and hurried over to see Cheng Yuanjing dressed in a **** cloak, with a black gold clothes inside, and a leather belt with a width of a finger to tie his waist, straight and dignified, noble and awesome.
The gatekeeper couldn't speak his tongue at that moment. Cheng Yuanjing's eyes swept. The gatekeeper was dizzy and wanted to kneel, so he straightened his tongue and said a complete sentence: "Nine Lord, you are back!" How are you along the way? "
Cheng Yuanjing had no time and nonsense with the porter. He left the reins to his attendants and strode inwards: "Where is the big girl? How can these two days be in the house?"
The porter's thighs and legs shook and he said: "Everything is fine. The New Year's party is together. The ladies and girls are very happy. The grandmother returned to the door today. The eldest girl should also be in Shou'an Hall.
Cheng Yuanjing nodded and went straight to Shou An Tang. He walked fast all the way, directly copying the fastest path, without wasting a minute and a second without irrelevance.
Waiting for Shou Antang, the gatekeeper's wife looked at him, and he was also stunned for a moment. After being warned with eyes by the person behind Cheng Yuanjing, he whispered: "The old lady, the nine grandpas are back."
The lively and lively atmosphere of Shou'an Church was suddenly quiet. After Cheng Yuanjing entered the door, he didn't take off the big cloak. His eyes were only slightly swept in the room, and he found Cheng Yujin was not there.
Cheng Yuanjing frowned: "How about the big girl?"
