Chapter 8

Cheng Yuanjing is tall and straight, with a clear face. He stands at the door waiting for Cheng Yujin, and other people look at him secretly. After Cheng Yujin dressed up, they left together, lifted the curtain and went out.

After they left, Shouan hall seemed to be half empty. Ruan and Qingfu have their own thoughts. They stand for a while, and see Mrs. Cheng showing fatigue, and take the opportunity to leave.

Two daughter-in-law have gone with people, warm room only old lady Cheng. At this time, Mrs. Cheng finally showed the old man's declining state. She leaned against the pillow and closed her eyes wearily.

Mrs. Cheng's dowry, Mammy Zhang, walked up to Mrs. Cheng, put a pillow behind her waist, and asked softly, "what's the matter with you, madam?"

There was a long silence. When mammy Zhang thought that Mrs. Cheng couldn't speak, Mrs. Cheng said in a long tone: "he has been nineteen years, in a twinkling of an eye, thirteen years."

Mammy Zhang is also silent. Although Mrs. Cheng didn't say her name, Mammy Zhang is an old man for more than 30 years. How can she not know Mrs. Cheng's heart knot. Over the years, Xiao Xue has almost become one of Mrs. Cheng's worries.

Mammy Zhang stopped for a while and whispered: "old lady, please relax. She will be favored again. After all, you are the wife. She will be an outsider all her life. Besides, Xiao Xue has been dead for four years. What do you care about with a dead man. No matter how many men love you, no matter how promising your son is, you should have life to enjoy it. "

Mrs. Cheng snorted coldly and opened her eyelids. Her eyes were full of hatred: "I'm just angry. At the beginning, Xue Jiaqing was famous all over the world, but my mother's family was just a nouveau riche. If the Xue family had not been involved in the court struggle and the whole family had been exiled, the Cheng family would not have liked me. The Marquis and Xiao Xue's childhood sweetheart made an engagement on the 13th, waiting for Xiao Xue and Ji to get married. As a result, on the eve of their marriage, there was an accident in the Xue family. Their parents in law did not dare to offend the Yang family, so they had to break their engagement with Xiao Xue and hire us in a hurry. I know that from the beginning, he just didn't want to

Mammy Zhang knelt down at Mrs. Cheng's hand and sighed, "old lady..."

"It's OK. I've seen it for so many years. All these love is false. It's the right thing to give birth to a son. After getting married, he treated me neither coldly nor warmly, but at least he gave me face and didn't take those Yingyan home. Two sons and one daughter are climbing out of my stomach, which is enough, and I don't fight with the green plum in his heart. But I didn't expect that after 20 years, he found Xiao Xue and brought her back! "

Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yumo, the twins, were born less than half a year ago. Mrs. Cheng was still immersed in the joy of being a grandmother. One April day, the Marquis of Cheng suddenly brought back a child from outside, saying that it was his blood with Xiao Xue. She was just six years old and had to put the child on the genealogy. When Mrs. Cheng saw it, she doubted that the child was very good-looking. She didn't have any cocoons on her hand. She had more rules than her own son. Can such a child be raised by Xiao Xue, who is exiled in the frontier and has no choice?

Mrs. Cheng suspected that she was selfish, and she was afraid that Mr. Cheng would be killed by the immortal, so she refused to let the child go to the family tree. However, it is hard for Mr. Cheng to be tough. He insists that it is his blood. He has been raising the child secretly for many years. Although the child has no worries about food and clothing, he can't always live in exile, so he brings it back to recognize his ancestors.

Mrs. Cheng has been doubting the identity of Cheng Yuanjing for so many years. He is the son of Xiao Xue, but not the Marquis of Cheng. Xiao Xue is good-looking. If a weak woman is sent to a place like that in the frontier, what good experience can she have. I don't know whose son this is. He was planted by Xiao Xue on marquis Cheng. But Marquis Cheng is still a fool. He takes both mother and son to the capital and raises sons for others.

After many years, Mrs. Cheng met Xiao Xue. Xiao Xue's cheeks and hands were no longer delicate, but she was as gentle and peaceful as ever. Because of jealousy and suspicion, Mrs. Cheng refused to let Xiao Xue live in Hou's house. Mr. Cheng could only raise his mother and son to the outer house, and they all went away from their private accounts. Old lady Cheng has tried her best to embezzle the money of old Marquis Cheng these years, but she has also seen a ghost. The son of Xiao Xue is still upright and upright, and he has the bearing of being rich. She also invited a teacher and won the entrance examination all the way.

When Mrs. Cheng thought of this, she was very angry: "this man buried his conscience. I don't know where he got so much money these years. He even offered his son as a Jinshi even though he had a room outside. My son has been pressing him to study since he was seven years old. He usually doesn't beat or scold him a lot. As a result, he can't even pass the entrance examination for a student! "

The elder lady Cheng Shixian is ready to go to the imperial examination. She can't help but say, "why don't you go to the imperial examination! Besides, we are the noble family. We have the shadow left by our ancestors. Why should we turn to writing? "

"If Wen doesn't become a martial artist, I'll know that I'm angry with those concubines every day." Mrs. Cheng couldn't help scolding her eldest son, but mammy Zhang just listened. Although Mrs. Cheng scolds her severely, how can there be so many concubines in the room? It's not Mr. Cheng who loves his son so much.

Mammy Zhang said with a smile: "shiziye is still young and has a big heart to play with. When he gets older, he will be sensible and progressive. Besides, don't you have another master"The second is really diligent. He has been more obedient than his brother since he was a child. He has been diligent for so many years." Mrs. Cheng said that her second son had a smile on his face, but she soon frowned again. "It's his daughter-in-law, who is soft and weak in walking and weak in speaking, so she can't be on the stage. Even the daughter she raised is the same. Look at the big girl. She's not the same twin sister, but she's raised under Qingfu's knee. She's more sensible than the old two. Alas, it's a pity that such a good chess will be ruined if we retire this time. After so many years of flattering her, I pointed out that she had a long face, married a good family, and supported her father and brother in the future. It's a pity that jingyonghou has a bright future. "

It's not easy for mammy Zhang to answer this. The big girl has been a benchmark all these years. There's only a big girl in everything. You don't have to think about it. The first one is definitely the big girl's. In contrast, Cheng Yumo, the second girl, is much more approachable and popular with her brothers and sisters.

However, these have nothing to do with mammy Zhang's being a slave. In her opinion, both the eldest and the second girls are the existence she can't rise to. Old lady Cheng didn't know what she would think. She said, "it won't work to rely on her daughter. After that, could she really make Cheng Yuanjing the pillar of the Cheng family? He has an outside room... "

Old lady Cheng is angry when she thinks of this. However, her children are not promising. You can see that when they come up. Cheng Yuanxian is a middle-aged man. His official position is not as big as that of Cheng Yuanjing, who is 19 years old. Even Cheng's second master, who is outstanding in his studies, is far behind Cheng Yuanjing.

The Cheng family men can't match Cheng Yuanjing in packing. Of course, old lady Cheng is not reconciled, but what can we do about it. Mammy Zhang earnestly advised: "old lady, you are not young. Your granddaughter is getting married. What are you still struggling with when you were young? Xiao Xue has been dead for many years, and the former waishizi has become the highest official in the Cheng family. Even if you don't win him over, you can't push Jiuye out. "

Mrs. Cheng sighed: "I don't know. Xiao Xue died in the ninth year of Jianwu. She was also able to endure. She insisted on seeing Cheng Yuanjing's high school entrance examination before she gave up. Coincidentally, that year, the Xue family case was rehabilitated. Before Xiao Xue's death, he heard that his son was in high school and that his mother's family was rehabilitated. He died without regret. If my two sons can have Cheng Yuanjing's chance and let me die, I'm willing to. "

"Oh, old lady, what are you talking about?" Mammy Zhang rushed to the ground and said, "the old lady is not willing to say such despondent words. If you want to control the ninth master, there are many ways. If nothing else, the ninth master hasn't got a wife yet. No matter how hard he is, he doesn't want to rely on you to get married. "

Old lady Cheng sneered: "that's not necessarily true. If I want to handle his marriage, I'm afraid the marquis will be the first to refuse. But it's strange to say that the Marquis treats his son who came half the way as painful as an eye. Why didn't he ask for a wife and concubine? He is nineteen this year. Other people in his grade should have sons. "

Speaking of this, Mammy Zhang didn't know. Mrs. Cheng was surprised for a while and said, "just wait for the Marquis to be here some other day. I'll go to test the meaning of the marquis."

Mammy Zhang answered. She hesitated and asked, "old lady, what happened to that big girl What should we do? "

Mrs. Cheng stared at the censer. After a while, she said, "let's have a look. Let's first let out the news that the Huo family broke the contract. Let's see if there is a good family coming to the big girl. If not Then this granddaughter can only be regarded as a white child. "

It's really cruel. The treatment of my eldest granddaughter for many years has collapsed. However, in addition to sighing at the bottom of her heart, Mammy Zhang did not intend to do anything. In gaomen courtyard, each has its own future. After all, what does the big girl have to do with her?

Cheng Yujin was "busy", early out of the door. She walked behind Cheng Yuanjing. She was really bored. She raised her voice and asked, "Uncle Jiu, what's the matter with you calling me out?"

Cheng Yuanjing glanced back and said, "you look smart. Now, you don't have a good brain."

This sentence made Cheng Yujin want to curse. She thought that the person in front of her was her ninth uncle. At least she was an elder, so she could only reluctantly resist: "thank you for your praise. But why does uncle Jiu say that my brain is not working well? "

Cheng Yuanjing thought it was stupid. He seldom showed kindness. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yujin didn't respond to the situation. Cheng Yuanjing looks light, even the tone is casual: "those women's dependents all pay attention to the bottom of the mind, you stay in the house, what can you do?"

Just a face-to-face, Cheng Yuanjing's understanding of Cheng's inner house is 7788. The chief of Qingfu county has nothing to do with himself. Ruan's circle has another idea, and Mrs. Cheng is still a woman who wants to buy her daughter. Their malice is almost undisguised. In this case, what can be left?

Cheng won't say these words. He is a person who cares about boundaries very much. In other words, he is born indifferent. What does it have to do with others? What he just said to Cheng Yujin has been the only support for many years.

Cheng Yujin immediately understood Cheng Yuanjing's meaning. How could she not know what Cheng Yuanjing could see at a glance.

Cheng Yujin lowered her head and watched the snowflakes float to the big red cloak one by one, then melt away quickly. Cheng Yujin was quiet for a while, and suddenly said, "sometimes I feel like this snow. I look at the white and beautiful from a distance, but when I get close, I have nothing."Surprised, Cheng Yuanjing stops to see her. Cheng Yujin turns to look at the mighty wind outside the corridor, blowing snow particles around. Her side face reflected the snow, almost crystal clear than the snow: "of course, I know it will be embarrassing to stay, but what can I do. If I don't win over my mother and grandmother, I won't have a good life tomorrow. "

Cheng Yujin reaches for the snow. Her red cloak is shining on the gray corridor. I'm afraid that when Cheng Jinjing was born, he would smile at you for not having passed the imperial examination. So how can you understand the feeling that there is no way to go, but you have to go out of a way? "

Cheng Yuanjing heard the subtle sound of fragmentation in his heart.

No way to go, but have to go.

How could he not understand?
