Chapter 4

Cheng Yujin stepped back and gave way. The visitor was not polite at all and walked in front of Cheng Yujin's eyes.

He is tall and straight, higher than Huo Changyuan. This man has sharp eyebrows, straight nose, sharp edges, and excellent appearance. There was no expression on his face, but when he passed by Cheng Yujin, Huo Changyuan could not help but step back and let him go.

That kind of natural, as if born to be worshipped by people's aura, it is not like ordinary people.

Cheng Yujin knows that there is a very special person in the Cheng family. However, he has not been in the Hou family for many years, and he seems to have been an official for the first two years. Cheng Yujin has very little memory of him.

At that time, the incident was so serious that Mrs. Cheng almost fell out with the marquis. At that time, Cheng Yujin didn't remember. She was a one-year-old baby. The Marquis of Cheng suddenly brought back a six-year-old child from outside, saying that it was his own and Xue's child. His family's blood is always in exile, so Marquis Cheng brought it back and asked him to recognize his ancestors.

Mrs. Cheng exploded immediately. Well, she worked hard at home to manage her family business, but the Marquis of Cheng was out there, having sex with his old lover and giving her a six-year-old illegitimate son.

Want the door of home, dream!

This time, however, Mr. Cheng insisted on opening an ancestral hall, recording the children in the genealogy and naming them Cheng Yuanjing, and ranking them as nine in the family.

In other words, Cheng Yuanjing is her ninth uncle.

Later, Cheng Yujin had an impression. Mrs. Cheng was very noisy. She said that if the Marquis wanted to raise Xiao Xue and the illegitimate child, she would take her children back to her mother's home. Mrs. Cheng's granddaughters will all leave, so it's impossible to be separated. However, Mrs. Cheng is the mother of the family and has given birth to two sons and one daughter to the Hou family. Mr. Cheng can't manage his wife, so he has to run a separate house and keep Xiao Xue and Cheng Yuanjing outside.

Even if you can tie a man to his bottom, you can't tie his heart. Old lady Cheng can't stop her. She simply turns a blind eye to Xiao Xue and Cheng Yuanjing because they won't affect her status. Because of the old lady, no one in the Cheng family dares to mention Mr. Jiu. Cheng Yujin can only learn from a few words leaked by Princess Qingfu that the outsider seems to be very intelligent. He won the imperial examination at the age of 16, but no one managed him. His official career is not good.

Jinshi should be admitted to the Imperial Academy. Although the officials were very cold, they were the direct subordinates of Yang Shoufu and the only way to enter the cabinet in the future. Cheng Yuanjing didn't have this kind of good luck. He was first given an official who was not big or small. Before long, he was transferred to the outside and underground.

This release never came back. Until today, Cheng Yujin suddenly saw her ninth uncle, Cheng Yuanjing, in her inner courtyard.

Cheng Yuanjing wears Yujin, but he doesn't give her a single eye. Cheng Yujin didn't care, because he ignored Huo Changyuan.

Huo Changyuan was also in a state of suspense. He was a man who had been trained in the army and ate this bowl of rice. But the man with so many retinues was standing on the corridor, and he didn't notice it at all!

This has a great impact on Huo Changyuan. He is afraid of Cheng Yujin. He doesn't care about Cheng Yujin. When he sees Cheng Yujin leaving from the corner of his eye, he doesn't care much.

He can't beat a woman. Cheng Yujin's slap will be a compensation for her reputation.

Cheng Yujin went through the corridor and stepped over a lot of thresholds. When the people behind her couldn't see her, she asked, "that man was Uncle Jiu just now?"

"Look at the name of the little fellow, it should be him."

Cheng Yujin frowned and murmured: "grandma hates Xiao Xue the most. He hasn't heard from her for four or five years. Why did she suddenly come back today?"

How do Duro and forsythia know about things outside. Cheng Yujin went through a moonlit door and said to herself, "it's only three years since he was promoted to the fourth grade. It's too fast."

Du Ruo and forsythia don't know anything about the court hall. They hear the doubt: "girl, it's just a face-to-face meeting. How do you know that the ninth master is the fourth grade?"

"Duke, marquis and son-in-law wear Fei clothes from the fourth grade. The fourth grade is not low. There are only a few third grade officials in the court." Cheng Yujin said, the pace suddenly a Zheng, "not good."

They just stopped under a red plum, white snow red plum, Cheng Yujin wearing a red cape, more and more picturesque, looks bright.

"His biological mother is Xiao Xue, and Huo Changyuan's mother is also Xue." If we only rely on the surname, we can't determine the identity of Xiao Xue and Huo Xue. After all, the two people's experiences are different. But Cheng Yujin has experienced a previous life in her dream. She happens to know that these two people are really distant sisters!

Cheng Yujin suddenly turns around and goes back. Forsythia and Du Ruo look at each other and catch up.

At this moment, Cheng Yuanjing stepped into the most beautiful building threshold of Yichun Marquis's mansion and took off his cloak. The servant took it and put it on the laver to bake the snow particles carefully.

Old Marquis Cheng struggled from his bed, made two quick steps towards the door, and nearly fell down. Cheng Yuanjing's eyes are fast, and his hands are fast. He has not spoken yet, and his eyes are wet.

Cheng Yuanjing just raised his hand, and the servants fished out. When there was no one else in the room, Mr. Cheng stood up tremblingly and bent his knees to give Cheng Yuanjing a big gift: "Your Highness, you are back!"Cheng Yuanjing holds the arm of marquis Cheng. Marquis Cheng wants to kneel down several times, but he stops him: "Marquis, please get up."

Marquis Cheng barely stopped his tears. He refused to sit down and said, "how can I sit down with your highness? It's against the rules."

"Lord Hou is joking. There are no rules." Cheng Yuanjing smiles, but his eyes are very indifferent, "Lord Hou, my surname is Cheng now. I can't call it like this next time."

Mr. Cheng answered quickly. He didn't dare to disobey Cheng Yuanjing's idea any more, so he slowly sat opposite Cheng Yuanjing. However, although he was sitting, half of his body was empty.

"Old minister tuoda, let's call you Jiulang."

Cheng Yuanjing stretched out his hand and said, "please help yourself."

"Jiulang, you are in a good situation. Why did you come back suddenly?"

"I heard that you are seriously ill. How can I feel at ease as a junior? Besides, I can't stay out all the time, so I'll just go back to the capital and serve the Marquis carefully. After that, I'll stay in the capital. "

The Duke of Cheng is happy and sighs. Although Cheng Yuanjing is the son of the emperor, he has been raised in his name for many years. How can he have no feelings.

Last winter, marquis Cheng had a serious illness. Since then, his health has not been as good as before. Recently, marquis Cheng often feels that his time is approaching. He recalled his life. He was born in a rich family and lived a good life when he was young. Although he lost his lover, he was lucky to be reunited with his beloved in his early years. In his later years, he also carried the hope of the whole country. Mr. Cheng is really not unwilling. The only thing he worries about is his royal highness, who is anonymous and alone.

So it's very moving to see Cheng Yuanjing come back today. He said, "it's good for Yuanjing to come back with tears in his hand. You can stay well in the capital, and you can feel at ease when you see it. "

After a long pause, Cheng Yuanjing asked, "my lord How are you recently

"All is well. But you are not in front of me after all. It's so easy to see you at the palace examination. In a twinkling of an eye, you go to work in other places. The emperor was worried. At the frontier banquet the year before last, he saw a man about your age. He couldn't help choking

Speaking of the emperor, Cheng Yuanjing fell into a long silence. Marquis Cheng sighed and said slowly, "Jiulang, I know you have suffered a lot since you were a child. You are a nobleman, but you have to bear the reputation of illegitimate son. But the emperor also suffers. Now empress dowager Yang is still alive. Yang Fucheng controls the government, and empress Yang keeps watch of the palace day by day. It's not that he doesn't want to take you back, but he can't

"I know." Cheng Yuanjing took back his eyes and gave a calm and indifferent smile. "Of course, I know that the emperor is not easy. As a minister, I should share my worries for you."

Seeing this scene, marquis Cheng felt very sad. He wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Cheng Yuanjing's look, he stopped for no reason. Cheng Yuanjing didn't look gloomy or angry. During his three years out, he became more and more introverted. He was more and more happy and angry.

Decisive and unfathomable.

Mr. Cheng thinks that Mr. Cheng Yuanjing is more and more dignified as a superior. If this is really a descendant of the Cheng family, Mr. Cheng will be relieved to die now. It's a pity that they don't have such a good fortune in the Cheng family. They don't have the surname Cheng or the name Cheng Yuanjing.

He is Li Chengjing, his Royal Highness the crown prince who has been missing for 14 years.

Old Marquis Cheng has been living in the court for many years, but he still has the ability to observe the emperor. Seeing that Cheng Yuanjing doesn't want to talk more about the emperor, he gradually changes other topics. Mr. Cheng said: "Jiulang, you've been away for three years, and you haven't been able to come back during the holidays. Now that you have just returned to Beijing and the order of the Ministry of officials has not come down, you should have a few more days' rest at home. You may not have seen it. The younger generation of the Cheng family have grown up. "

Cheng Yuanjing suddenly remembered the scene he had just seen under the corridor.

He thought, he may have seen it.

Cheng Yuanjing raised a little curiosity, just today nothing, he asked a few more: "today I see a guest, who is it?"

"Guests?" Marquis Cheng doubts that he is seriously ill and can't get the news from foreigners. Seeing this, Cheng Yuanjing said, "he's a young man. He's not old enough. He's in the army."

When Cheng Yuanjing said this, the Marquis immediately understood. Young people in the army, can appear in the backyard of the Cheng family, who else. He said with a smile: "that's the Huo family boy of Jingyong Marquis mansion. His name is Changyuan. He was engaged to your niece last year."

"Oh?" Cheng Yuanjing was more interested. He had a little smile in his eyes. After a pause, he said slowly, "but their relationship is not very good."

"What?" Mr. Cheng was very surprised and confused. Since he found Xiao Xue, he planted his heart on Xiao Xue. Later, when he learned about Cheng Yuanjing's identity, he planned for Cheng Yuanjing wholeheartedly. Mr. Cheng seldom, or never, paid attention to the grandchildren in the inner house.

But after all, he knew that the eldest daughter of the second family was obedient, sensible and filial to his eldest daughter-in-law. Although he doesn't have much affection for Cheng Yujin, as an elder, he certainly looks forward to his granddaughter. When Cheng Yujin and Huo Changyuan got engaged, he was really happy for her for a while.But only two months later, has something happened?

Mr. Cheng was very confident in this respect, and said, "your niece is the most obedient, but I'm afraid that the Huo family boy is wrong and has been wronged by her."

Cheng Yujin wronged? Not really.

Mr. Cheng didn't pay attention to Cheng Yuanjing's expression, so he continued to nag: "call the boss in another day and ask him. He's old, too. Let's see how he became a father. By the way, Jiulang, Huo Changyuan and you also have a source

Cheng Yuanjing was really surprised. He raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"Huo Changyuan's mother's surname is Xue, and she is a distant sister."

Cheng Yuanjing really didn't know about this. Marquis Cheng explained: "when the family of Xuelan was implicated, the whole family was exiled. Huoxue's mother's family was far away. In addition, she was not as guilty as her married daughter, so she let it go."

Xuelan is Xiao Xue's boudoir name. Cheng Yuanjing is brought up in the capital by Xiao Xue. In a sense, Xiao Xue is his foster mother.

Cheng Yuanjing nodded, it seems that he moved to the capital, need to thoroughly investigate the details of the various government.

Cheng Yuanjing and the old Marquis are talking outside. Naturally, Cheng Yuanjing stops talking.

The guard clasped his fist outside the door: "Mr. Hou, Mr. Jiu, you are welcome."

Hello? Cheng Yuanjing shakes his head and laughs. He finds this cheap niece more and more interesting. She didn't trust him to such a degree. It was only after a long time that she came after him.

Mr. Cheng frowns when he hears it. He doesn't need to ask his younger generation to say hello. Only on the 15th day of the first day of junior high school, his sons and grandsons come to see each other, and his granddaughters don't see each other several times a year. How did Cheng Yujin remember to greet him?

Mr. Cheng looked at Cheng Yuanjing questioningly. Cheng Yuanjing nodded with a smile and said, "please come in, miss."
