Chapter 15

The next day, Cheng Yujin went to greet Mrs. Cheng early in the morning.

The servant girl welcomed her in, and the heat of the Earth Dragon came. As she helped Cheng Yujin unload her cloak, the maid said, "last night, the old lady left second master Xu and some girls in the main room. Now she is still sleeping in the blue gauze cabinet. The old lady was afraid that Xu Erye would catch cold, so she asked people to heat the earthworm. The big girl just came in from the outside. Maybe she's not used to the heat. Just wait a minute

Cheng Yujin nodded: "I understand. Who else is there besides second cousin? There is only one bed in the blue gauze cabinet. Can you sleep

"Cheng Li, two girls and four girls are sleeping in the same bed, and there is still one person on the Kang bed in the warm Pavilion. The second master was going to the Bi gauze cabinet yesterday. We laughed at him. He was in the warm Pavilion. "

Cheng Yujin knew that her cousins and cousins were in the same room. Although Mrs. Cheng was watching, she was too close. She turned her eyes, took back her look, nodded to the servant girl and laughed: "thank you, sister. Is grandma up? "

"The old lady is up. It's just that Mr. Xu went to bed late yesterday and hasn't got up yet. "

Cheng Yujin's forward step suddenly stopped: "second cousin is still asleep?"

Warm Pavilion is a small single room separated from Mrs. Cheng's bedroom. The walls around it are hollowed out. In winter, the heat circulates during the day and night, warm as spring, so it is called warm Pavilion. That is to say, if Cheng Yujin enters the inner room to greet Mrs. Cheng, she will inevitably pass by the warm pavilion where Xu Zhixian is.

If it was Cheng Yumo, he would have run in now, and even teased Xu Zhixian with his cold hands. But Cheng Yujin didn't. She stopped outside and said, "since the second cousin is inconvenient, I'll wait."

The servant girl inside saw the big girl coming and quickly called Xu Zhixian to get up. Xu Zhixian didn't want to wake up, but he was confused to hear the maid say "the big girl is outside". Xu Zhixian was so scared that a carp got up, grabbed his robe from the bedside and put it on him.

Xu Zhixian has always been careless and informal, but I don't know why. In front of Cheng Yujin, he is always very regular, and his clothes must be decent. What would it look like if Cheng Yujin saw her clothes not being ready.

When Xu Zhixian was ready, he would come out and say hello to Cheng Yujin: "sister Jin Well, good cousin. "

The servant girls all laughed when they saw this scene and joked: "second master, it's clear that the eldest girl is the girl's family. Why are you blushing like the eldest daughter who went to the sedan chair for the first time?"

Xu Zhixian was said to be blushing. He saw that Cheng Yujin also pursed her lips and laughed. He didn't know why he was so shy. He ran out with a sound of rubbing: "I'll go outside and have a cold face. You go first and say hello to your ancestors."

The news outside has long been spread to Mrs. Cheng. She comes out of the bed like a small house. Seeing this, Cheng Yujin goes to help Mrs. Cheng.

The maid had already prepared the water. Cheng Yujin reached for it and found that the water temperature was suitable. It can be seen that it was always warm on the stove. Cheng Yujin gives Mrs. Cheng a handkerchief and does some light and conspicuous work from time to time, waiting for Mrs. Cheng to wash.

Mrs. Zhang, who was accompanied by Mrs. Cheng, praised her: "the big girl is so filial. Other wives who have been married for more than ten years are not as meticulous and considerate as the big girl."

Cheng Yujin smiles: "it's my blessing to serve my elders."

Mammy Zhang laughed more and more brightly when she heard Cheng Yujin's words. She thought that two girls were still sleeping in the blue gauze cupboard. The same main room was three or four rooms away. She didn't see the two girls waiting for the old lady to get up, so she didn't realize it. Not to mention the girls, even Mrs. Cheng's two daughters-in-law are not here yet.

People are really better than each other.

Last night, Cheng Yumo was sleeping with the old lady. Ruan came after her early in the morning to see how her daughter was. I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the door, I saw that Cheng Yujin was already there. Looking at the posture, it seemed that she had been guarding for a long time.

There was something wrong with Ruan's expression.

Old lady Cheng glanced at Ruan and said coldly, "here we are."

Ruan's face is very difficult, most afraid of people than people, her daughter-in-law even than granddaughter? Ruan couldn't care to see her daughter in the blue gauze cupboard in the West. She quickly rolled up her sleeves and squeezed up to wait on Mrs. Cheng to wash.

The place is only so big. Ruan crowded over, and many people were blocked. Cheng Yujin took a step back in time to give the space to Ruan.

In the eyes of outsiders, Mammy Zhang secretly praised the atmosphere.

Cheng Yujin watched Ruan busy wringing a handkerchief and mouthwash for Mrs. Cheng. After all, she was not as good as a servant girl she was used to. The water was cold and hot, and she was knocked down several times by Mr. Cheng. There are so many servant girls around. Old lady Cheng is not happy, and Ruan's face is not good-looking.

Cheng Yujin secretly shakes her head in her heart. She is really confused. She serves her elders in the name of filial piety. Is she really going to do the job of serving tea and water? To put it bluntly, it's a show. The elements of performance are far greater than the elements of practicality.

Therefore, Cheng Yujin never went to do such things as wring the handkerchief and holding the spittoon. She was dirty and tired, and who loved to do what she did. Cheng Yujin can only wait for the maid to screw up the handkerchief. Naturally, she reaches for it and hands it to Mrs. Cheng. Later, she has her own maid to do the work for her. In this way, Cheng Yujin did nothing, but it seemed very important and indispensable.It's very sincere for people like Ruan to roll their sleeves and fight in person.

The complicated family environment taught Cheng Yujin how to be clever when she was very young. What other girls learned three or four years after they got married was something she knew when she was ten years old. Not only that, but she also became all-round and extremely selfish. She doesn't care about face, doesn't long for her parents' love, and doesn't care about love.

She only loves herself.

Old lady Cheng is so easy to clean up. At this time, Ruan's body and mind are exhausted. When she saw Cheng Yujin, who was just watching, she didn't know why. Ruan's smile, asked: "big girl, how did not sister-in-law come?"

Ruan couldn't say why he asked such a question. When Cheng Yujin was very young, Ruan knew that Cheng Yujin didn't know who her mother was the best, but her inexplicable malice made Ruan speak again and again, quietly provoking the relationship between Cheng Yujin and Princess Qingfu. If Cheng Yujin's life is not good, Ruan will be distressed, but if Cheng Yujin's life is good, he and Qingfu will be like mother and daughter, and Ruan's heart will be burning with hatred.

Forsythia's expression is not very good, she said, the second wife's behavior is simply necrotic, she can't see the big girl! Cheng Yujin herself is very calm. Her heart has already become inviolable. On the contrary, she can still smile at Ruan: "mother has to take care of her father and third brother. She can't leave for a while. So my mother asked me to be filial to her and serve her grandmother. "

Look at these words, Cheng Yujin doesn't answer why Princess Qingfu didn't come. She only says that Qingfu should take care of Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng enbao. In a word, she helps Qingfu out and makes old lady Cheng happy. In Mrs. Cheng's eyes, of course, son and grandson are the most important. The daughter-in-law serves her son and makes Mrs. Cheng feel comfortable.

Mrs. Cheng smiles with satisfaction. When she gets up, she glances at Ruan. Ruan immediately bows her head in fright and dares not breathe.

Mrs. Cheng went to dongcijian and asked, "where are the other children?"

"Madam Hui, the second girl and the second master Xu are washing their faces in the blue gauze cupboard. Miss Nian said that she didn't have the powder she used to use here. She went back to her aunt's yard to brush her hair again. "

Not to mention outsiders, Ruan's mother also wants to shake her head. At the same age, Cheng Yumo and Xu Nianchun are childish. After waking up for such a long time, they don't come to ask for help and go out to dress themselves up. In contrast, Cheng Yujin is not as sensible as a little girl.

Ruan couldn't see it, so she secretly asked her servant girl to call Cheng Yumo to come over. Cheng Yumo and Xu Zhixian came over loosely and said hello in unison: "ancestor Zong an."

Mrs. Cheng nodded. She said, "you three grew up together. You don't need to wait here. Go to Baoxia and play by yourself."

Xu Zhixian cheerfully "ah", Cheng Yujin realized that Mrs. Cheng was deliberately creating opportunities for them. As for which one to create opportunities for, it's hard to say. Normally, this kind of opportunity is hard to come by, but Cheng Yujin gave up after a pause: "grandmother, I'm afraid I can't do it."

Old lady Cheng wondered, "what's the matter?"

"My grandfather told me yesterday to learn to write with Uncle Jiu," Cheng said

Mrs. Cheng was even more strange: "what are you doing with these?"

"The emperor's Millennium Festival is coming. My grandfather wants to send a screen to celebrate the emperor's birthday and let his granddaughter embroider it. So I'm afraid I don't have a free time these days. I'll have to go and learn to write with Uncle Jiu after I give my grandmother an invitation. "

The main room was quieter than usual. The gift for the emperor's birthday was so precious that Cheng Yujin held the needle. This is the dignity that Qingfu, Ruan's daughter-in-law, and even Mrs. Cheng, the wife of the main room, don't have. Ruan and Cheng are in a complicated mood. Xu Zhixian and Cheng Yu look at each other and dare not speak.

Even if they are no longer sensible, they know that Cheng Yujin's treatment is not trivial, higher than their mother's.

Finally, Mrs. Cheng said, "since it's the Marquis, just go. If you don't have enough time, you don't have to come to me to order in the future. "

"How can that work?" Cheng Yujin refused with a righteous face, and then Shi ran saluted and left, "grandmother, second aunt, I'll go ahead."

When she came out, forsythia was very excited and whispered, "girl, you didn't see the face of the second and old ladies just now. How can they compare the dignity of our girls? I'm afraid the second wife can't even think about it. "

"All right." Cheng Yujin light drink Forsythia a, "less said a few words, time is not early, do not go to the late."

Forsythia simply should be a, the corner of the mouth or up. It's just the beginning. When the embroidery comes out, they'll be very red eyed!

Cheng Yujin got up early today. Although she had lost some time with Mrs. Cheng, she thought to herself that she was still very early. Did not expect to Chen Ming Yuan, Cheng Yuanjing has all packed up, it seems that he has done a lot of things.

Cheng Yujin was very surprised: "Uncle Jiu got up so early?"

Cheng Yuan Jing light glance at her, lazy to answer this kind of no nutrition question. He pointed to the ink beside him and asked, "can you write?"

The smile on Cheng Yujin's face was very bright, and she listened carefully to the voice of gritting her teeth: "what does uncle Jiu think?"Cheng Yuanjing didn't mean to bury Cheng Yujin, but in his eyes, being able to write is equal to being good at writing. After all, to be an official, writing articles is the most basic thing. Whether it is the first assistant, Taifu, the eunuch in front of the emperor, or Yuanjing's master, everyone has a good hand in writing.

Cheng Yuanjing didn't care about Cheng Yujin's offense. Instead, she wrote with her eyes and said, "write a picture first."

Cheng Yujin wants to underestimate who she is. She is famous for her chess, piano, calligraphy, painting, needlework and needlework. However, what she is good at most is calligraphy.

Cheng Yujin went to the desk, picked up the pen, thought for a short time, then wrote the inscription.

Cheng Yuanjing's eyes involuntarily fall on Cheng Yujin's injured left hand.
