Greetings, Ninth Uncle
Chapter 76: reunion
Where is the big girl?
After the process, Yuan Jingyi said that the talents in Shou An Tang found that Cheng Yujin was gone.
Many people yelled, and Cheng Min remembered that Yu Jin hadn't seen the process for a long time. Cheng Min stood up and looked around: "I remember Sister Jin was standing here just now, why didn't it disappear in a blink of an eye?"
Cheng Min turned around and found that Cheng Yujin was really not there. She frowned and recruited the maid and asked, "When did the big girl go out?"
A maid standing at the door stepped forward and replied: "The eldest girl just took someone out and said that the old lady's kitchen is not busy. She went back to get some things."
"How long?"
The maid frowned for a moment, and said uncertainly: "It's probably a quarter of an hour."
Cheng Min heard this and became more angry: "Why don't you come to report it when Missy has been away for so long?"
Xiaomao bowed her head to Nono to listen to the training, daring not to argue. She also felt wronged in her heart. The first wife, the second wife and the grandmother had a good talk. How dare they step forward to bother?
However, these words did not dare to say that Grandma Ergu was in the limelight, and it was the gold signboard in Houfu in Yichun. How dare she say that Cheng Yumo was wrong?
Cheng Yuanjing stood across the floor and quietly looked at the gold-clad and silver-clad ladies in Hua Cui, and a sudden anger burst into her heart.
Cheng Yujin left for a quarter of an hour. Not only was nobody noticed, but after being spoken out, the master of Qingfu County and Ruan Shi were indifferent. Even Cheng Yumo raised his eyes and glanced, not worried. Obviously, they all felt that there was no danger in the house, and Cheng Yujin was cautious. She went out alone, and it wouldn't be a problem.
On the contrary, the aunt Cheng Min found the whole house in a circle, and also asked the maid to question. In contrast, Cheng Yujin's biological mother, adoptive mother, and sisters and brothers seemed indifferent to a stone.
Cheng Yuanjing remembered what the gatekeeper said. The gatekeeper said everything was fine in the house these two days, and his wife was very happy. This is what they call, is everything okay?
No one noticed that Cheng Yujin had left for a quarter of an hour. It can be seen that Cheng Yujin walked before, no one talked to her at all, and no one remembered, otherwise no one noticed for a long time that a big living person was gone?
Cheng Yuanjing thought of the usual family gathering. Cheng Yujin came to read and speak with him. Cheng Yuanjing thought Cheng Yujin was impatient and polite, and came to him to hide quietly. Now I want to come, probably because there is no place for her inside.
Cheng Yuanjing seemed to have a fire in his heart, which fell on the hay and burned into a prairie fire. He was anxious and angry, but in the end, there was a deep distress.
How did she spend the whole new year like this? Could it be that she has been so alone for these two days?
Just as Cheng Yuanjing thought, both the master of Qingfu County and Ruan Shi felt that this was not a big deal. Even Mrs. Cheng just nodded. The female relatives discussed two sentences at random, originally wanted to return to the previously broken topic, but when they looked back at Cheng Yuanjing's expression, they suddenly muttered.
Cheng Yuanjing did not deliberately exert coercion, he just looked at the girl just now and asked without emotion: "Who did she take when she went out? Which way did she go?"
Cheng Yujin said to go back and fetch things, but Cheng Yuanjing didn't believe it. Cheng Yujin has a set of scenes.
The majesty wrinkled her face and thought for a while, and said, "The girl took Du Ruo, as if it were, and walked westward."
That was indeed the way back to Jinning Courtyard, and Cheng Yuanjing was somewhat relieved. He turned and was about to leave. He just went out and happened to meet Cheng Yuanxian and others.
Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Yuanhan led Huo Changyuan and Xu Erye into the yard, and when they looked up and saw Cheng Yuanjing, they were all stunned: "How did you come back?"
Cheng Yuanxian was unprepared when he saw Cheng Yuanjing, and he blurted out in his heart. After asking, he felt wrong and quickly remedied: "Why did you arrive today? Where did you go during this time, even forgetting your mother's New Year's Day?"
Cheng Yuanjing fainted them, and Cheng Yuanxian was a little panicked by that look. He did n’t dare to wait for Cheng Yuanjing to answer the question, and he quickly solved the problem himself: “Although it ’s busy outside, you ca n’t forget your home. It ’s not easy, go back and rest first. ”
Huo Changyuan watched Cheng Yuanxian skillfully turn the whole series of self-questioning and self-response down. No need for someone else to answer the call. He performed a series of operations such as surprise, questioning, reasoning, round-field, etc., which is very natural.
It can be seen that it has been done many times before.
Huo Changyuan is very speechless. Where does Cheng Yuanxian look like Hou Ye and his elder brother, he looks so humble in front of his brother. Huo Changyuan couldn't bear to look down on him as he was the former father-in-law, so the exporter made a clearance for Cheng Yuanxian: "Cheng Yuanjing, I heard that you didn't come back this New Year this year? Did something happen on official business?"
As soon as Huo Changyuan spoke, the topic immediately shifted to the official position, relieving the embarrassment of Cheng Yuanxian's self-talk. Cheng Yuanjing was blocked by them and could only endure the impatient response: "No. Personal personal affairs."
At this time, even Huo Changyuan couldn't hold his face, Cheng Yuanjing was really pitiful, and he refused to say more. Huo Changyuan had to take the initiative to say again: "I'm not convenient to ask about private matters, but it's good when people come back. The old lady and uncle mentioned you privately several times. You have to come back now and they can finally rest assured."
Huo Changyuan felt a bit wrong after he finished speaking. He just thought that Cheng Yuanxian asked himself and answered, and it was too humble to find a reason for Cheng Yuanjing. But now, is he not doing the same thing?
Huo Changyuan's expression suddenly became bad.
Cheng Yuanjing did not answer the call, and the scene fell into a cold scene for a while. Huo Changyuan felt the feeling of Cheng Yuanxian just now, but unfortunately no one was making a break for Huo Changyuan at the moment. Cheng Yuanhan also stared at Huo Changyuan with dissatisfaction.
What's wrong with this kid, Cheng Yuanhan, the decent Taishan, is still here, Huo Changyuan is good, a big uncle bite, I don't know that Cheng Yuanxian is his father-in-law!
The men were blocked at the door, and nobody wanted to speak for a while, and the situation was deadlocked. Fortunately, at this time, Cheng Yumo heard the sound and came out from the tip.
Mrs. Cheng ’s house is an earth dragon, and the cycle is very warm throughout the day. The windows in the house are half-supported, ventilating and dispersing the fire, so as not to cause the master in the house to get sick. After Cheng Yumo walked to the main hall, she saw a familiar figure from the half-open window. She was surprised and suddenly fluttered outside like a butterfly.
"Hou Ye, you are here!"
Cheng Yumo didn't care about putting on the cloak, and opened the curtain and ran out. After going out, Cheng Yuhan, who was shocked by the icy air, was shocked. Cheng Yuanhan saw it and screamed, "Mo Er, you are still wearing a single coat. Go back and add clothes!"
Cheng Yumo didn't care. She hurried to Huo Changyuan and hugged Huo Changyuan's arm intimately. Huo Changyuan wore a cloak, but he could not push Cheng Yumo away in front of the Cheng family. He could only take her shoulders and put her within the range of his cloak.
The young ladies who had just reacted ran out yelling and screamed. When I saw the scene when I went out, they stopped at the door, I don't know what to do.
Ruan Shi heard that Cheng Yumo ran outside without a coat. She was startled and hurried out. Ruan Shi was wearing Cheng Yumo's cloak, but when she saw the scene outside, she was stunned for a while and then smiled immediately. Huo Changyuan took Cheng Yumo in front of everyone, did not blame her for losing her appearance, and embraced Cheng Yumo with her cloak, showing how much she loved Cheng Yumo. Ruan Shi was very proud, and he was not in a hurry to send Cheng Yumo a cloak, but said: "Er. Ye, Changyuan, you've finished the talk. Just now your mother said it was time for dinner, and you just came back. Come in, it's cold outside. "
When the little girl in the house heard the movement outside, she lay down on the window and quietly covered her mouth to laugh, even a few men of the Cheng family and Xu Erye also showed teasing eyes. Huo Changyuan felt very embarrassed in such eyes. In fact, he was not accustomed to Cheng Yumo's intimate movements in front of everyone. In private, he was sticking to him. Huo Changyuan felt useful. .
However, the Cheng family is Cheng Yumo's maiden after all. In the face of his father-in-law, Huo Changyuan cannot directly push away his daughter. He saw Ruan's smile standing on the steps without any intention of handing over the cloak of Cheng Yumo, even wishing they would hold for a while. Huo Changyuan had no choice but to take off his cloak after a short pause and cover it with Cheng Yumo.
On both sides came the voice of little maidservant and laughter. Cheng Yuanjing was shown affection at close range. He used to be too lazy to glance, but now he feels a subtle sense of glaring eyes.
There is something to show, Cheng Yujin also wore his clothes, not even a cloak, but a coat.
As a result, Cheng Yuanjing wanted to see Cheng Yujin even more. He was busy outside and forgot, until noon on the thirtieth day, finally reminded of the New Year's Eve under the reminder of the near attendant. However, at that time, it was too late to rush back to the Cheng family. Cheng Yuanjing had to hurry up and finish the matter in his hand, then immediately rushed to Yichun Houfu.
When he returned to Cheng's home, he was not worried about Cheng Yuanjing's identity, nor was he acting for outsiders. He just wanted to see Cheng Yujin.
Since his memory, Cheng Yuanjing has not spent the Chinese New Year with his family. His mother died when he was three years old, and when he was six years old, he also "died." I never felt that the New Year is special in comparison with the rest of the days, but this year, I do n’t know why, he can no longer stand alone.
By the time he returned to the Cheng family, it was already the second day of the second year. Cheng Yuanjing came to Cheng Yujin as soon as he returned to his home. After being inexplicably shown by Huo Changyuan, Cheng Yuanjing wanted to see Cheng Yujin even more.
At this time, the women in the house knew that Huo Changyuan was coming, and even several cousins of the Xu family squeezed in front of the window, scrambling to see the scene outside. They came late and did not see the scene of Huo Changyuan holding Cheng Yumo, but it was enough to see Cheng Yumo wearing Huo Changyuan's clothes. Xu Nianchun covered her mouth with excitement and shyness around Tong Kang Frolic.
Cheng Min also followed, and said with a smile: "Knowing that your little husband and wife have a good relationship, come in quickly, the mother has missed you for a long time."
Huo Changyuan was relieved, and took the lead to move forward. Cheng Yuanjing left, seeing the situation, and went out against everyone. Huo Changyuan felt strange and asked others: "Where is he going?"
The maid answered: "Jiuye is going to find a big girl."
Huo Changyuan was stunned: "The eldest girl is not in the house?"
Huo Changyuan couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He seemed disappointed and angry. What exactly does the Cheng family do? During the happy reunion, everyone is talking and laughing together, but Cheng Yujin is not here?
Huo Changyuan even wanted to go out and find Cheng Yujin at that moment, but he was surrounded by people and he could not get away. The matter in the yard was already told to Mrs. Cheng by his wife, and now the women of the Cheng family smiled at him with laughter and pride. Huo Changyuan couldn't explain it. After a moment of stunned effort, Cheng Yuanjing was about to go out.
The second room has a long face, Ruan's is proud, and he does not shy away from the volume. Ruan saw a new bracelet on Cheng Yumo's wrist and asked deliberately: "Mo Er, what about your sheep fat jade bracelet? That was given by your grandmother, how did you take it off?"
Cheng Yumo's voice was mixed in the woman's noise, saying: "When I was born, Hou Ye gave me a pair of new bracelets. I couldn't bear to brush Hou Ye's mind, so I changed it."
It turned out that the pair was sent by Huo Changyuan, and the entourage of the women around them exclaimed enviously. Cheng Yuanjing was about to walk out of the gate soon. He had good ears and heard this sentence, he stopped.
"what did you say?"
Cheng Yumo couldn't help but see Cheng Yuanjing stop and talk to her across a courtyard. Cheng Yumo saw that Cheng Yuanjing was staring at her, only to be sure that Cheng Yuanjing was indeed asking her. Cheng Yumo was a little panicked and said, "I said that my birthday was a few days ago, and Hou Ye gave me a birthday gift ..."
Cheng Yuanjing's eyes became colder, and he did not miss it. Cheng Yumo was talking about his birthday.
Cheng Yumo and Cheng Yujin are twins. Cheng Yumo has a birthday. What about Cheng Yujin?
Cheng Yuanjing was sullen and asked, "When?"
"Ah? Oh, Jiu Shu asked me about my birthday? It's Twenty-two of the twelfth lunar month."
At this time, Cheng Yujin, the eldest girl who turned Shou Antang into trouble, was sitting in a small attic beside the garden, cooking tea and chatting with Lin Qingyuan.
She had no idea what the outside world had tossed about to find her, nor did she know that Cheng Yuanjing had returned. Cheng Yujin looked at Lin Qingyuan quietly and quietly with a smile on his face.
Looking at it from a close distance, Lin Qingyuan became more and more eyebrowed. Cheng Yujin looked more and more satisfied, and the smile on his face became more sincere.
Lin Qingyuan was talking about the book he was reading today. When he looked up and hit Cheng Yujin's eyes, his voice stopped suddenly.
Miss Cheng is still demure and beautiful, but why does he feel that her eyes are not right?
It looks like the old farmer Han Xiao looked at raising a pig who had been covered with a body for a winter, and it was like the old mother watched Han Xinru's hard raising and finally the son of the title of the gold list.
Lin Qingyuan was shocked by goosebumps in his association.
It was at this time that the water was boiling, and Cheng Yujin stretched out his slender wrist, skimmed the tea foam, and poured it into the second wave of raw water. Tea-making is about quietness, slowness, and elegance, and this set of actions is performed by Cheng Yujin, which is indescribable and pleasing.
Her white and slender hands seemed to have magic power, Lin Qingyuan's eyes could not help falling on Cheng Yujin's wrist, and she could no longer look away. As Cheng Yujin moved, he asked, "Brother Lin is very knowledgeable and his eyes are open. Brother Lin is so good at learning, he is still so diligent that he does not relax even during the New Year."
Cheng Yujin's question finally pulled Lin Qingyuan out of that seemingly mysterious and non-xuan state. Lin Qingyuan recovered and realized that he was staring at the girl's hand intently, very embarrassed. He lowered his head and coughed, and his ears could not help catching his enthusiasm: "Miss Miss has passed the prize, official leave is limited, I have no time to go home, I can only stay in Beijing to read a book. In the past few days, my colleagues have been with my family to reunite People, they thought about trying their luck and came to Jingxing. Unfortunately, Jingxing was not there either. "
"Uncle Jiu went out to visit friends. He would come back after a few days." Cheng Yujin knew nothing about the outside world, and he tempted his prey with a smile. "If Brother Lin is in a hurry, you may wish to leave your words with me and wait for Jiu Shu to return." , I immediately sent someone to Lin House to remind Brother Lin. "
Lin Qingyuan was very grateful and said: "Thank you, Miss. The girl was very hospitable and helped me a lot, but I do n’t know how to return it."
Cheng Yujin lowered his head, his slender eyelashes were like butterfly wings, and trembling slightly: "How can I get Brother Lin's return in the effort of raising my hand? If Brother Lin really feels sorry, it would be better to teach me some poetry."
This Lin Qingyuan was good at it. He was so broad in nature. Without much thought, he should bear it with a wave of his hand: "What's so difficult about it, even though the big girl wrapped it in me."
Cheng Yujin looked up and smiled at Lin Qingyuan. Lin Qingyuan didn't know why he was dizzy by that smile. He quickly staggered his eyes and wandered away, not knowing what to look at. Finally, the water in the teapot murmured again. Lin Qingyuan was like finding a savior and quickly said, "Miss, the water is boiling."
"Well." Cheng Yujin answered, raising his hand to pour a third water into the boiling bubble. Moisture and moisture, the relaxation of the tea leaves by boiling water, and the light and long fragrance of tea spread in the room.
Cheng Yujin's voice sounded with tea aroma: "Brother Lin, you are alone in the New Year, you can't go home, won't you worry at home?"
Lin Qingyuan sighed, and rarely gave birth to some loneliness: "Of course, my father and mother are not at ease. They wrote letters and urged several times.
Cheng Yujin nodded, lowered the water, and sighed: "Brother Lin said yes. But the heart of the world's parents is pitiful. Brother Lin might not be at ease with his elders. Why did Brother Lin never think of getting married, if you have a wife to take care of you, you must It ’s not uncomfortable to this extent. "
The topic became heavy and intimate without knowing how, and Lin Qingyuan exhaled, saying: "My mother and grandmother both urged me, but I always feel that it is not time yet."
"Not in time?" Cheng Yujin raised an eyebrow and asked, "What does this say?"
Lin Qingyuan was silent and shook his head for a while. "It's common for men to be married and women to be married. It's not uncommon for me to be married. However, I always feel that I haven't found the person yet and I don't want to be rash. marry."
Cheng Yujin heard a raised eyebrow here, apparently surprised and shocked. Lin Qingyuan's seriousness in marriage is far beyond Cheng Yujin's imagination. She grew up so that the children around her, who were not lying on the ancestor's credit book to eat dividends, walked the streets all day long, sleeping in flowers, and when they reached age, they married a beautiful wife. But this does not affect their confidance with their confidantes. All they have to do is to give a decent wife a good deed, and don't let some of their beautiful concubines cross the wife.
Cheng Yujin is also accustomed to such a couple model. Her father and mother, her aunt and uncle, and even her sisters all live like this. The concubine is only part of the family's property. After the management is done, don't let them give birth to the eldest son, and don't let the concubine favor the concubine and destroy the wife. This is enough. Who will be more true to the concubine?
As for whether you like it or not, no one thought about it at all. A woman like Lin Qingyuan who hasn't met her favorite one is dragging her out of marriage. It's alien.
Cheng Yujin paused for a long time and smiled with his head down: "I really envy Brother Lin's future wife. How lucky is it to get Brother Lin to take it so seriously."
Cheng Yujin laughed all day, but only now is he really laughing. Ironically, she smiled bitterly.
Cheng Yujin thought with loneliness, how happy and comfortable is it to be treated like a man? She always despised Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yumo, but Cheng Yumo's last life was also truly loved by Huo Changyuan. Only her life, like her father and mother, aunt and uncle, always respect each other as a guest, starting with interest and finally benefiting.
Lin Qingyuan was blushed by Cheng Yujin. He glanced at Cheng Yujin. She could not see clearly through the water mist, but the flowers in the mist were even more amazing. Lin Qingyuan suddenly stuttered: "Actually ... not as serious as the eldest girl said. I am nothing more than a mortal, the eldest girl need not think so."
Cheng Yujin looked up and smiled at Lin Qingyuan: "Why not? Brother Lin is too confident in himself."
Lin Qingyuan ’s future wife is certainly worthy of envy, because that person is her! Who is so lucky to give her?
Such an infatuated seedling, let him go to find his true love? How is it possible that Cheng Yujin must use techniques to intercept it.
