Chapter 17

Cheng Yujin's good marriage plan was interrupted. When she returned to the house, forsythia waited on Cheng Yujin to change her home clothes and asked, "girl, do you want to practice calligraphy?"

Cheng Yujin hates it as soon as she mentions it. However, she is a very rational person and never loses her temper. She only cares about how to solve problems and how to maximize interests. Anyway, I can't get in touch with Xu Zhixian tonight. If she is angry, won't she get nothing?

It's better to practice for a while. The key to marrying a good husband is to cast a wide net and focus on catching fish. Xu Zhixian can't relax here. The birthday gift to the emperor should also be followed up. It's uncertain which one will be rewarded.

Cheng Yujin said, "get the ink ready. I'll practice calligraphy later."

Forsythia whispered. The eldest girl got up before dawn. First she went to greet Mrs. Cheng, and then she went to Jiuye for a day's writing. It was so easy for her to go home at night, and she even had to write. This kind of perseverance, many students can not catch up with it?

If the inkstone has been quietly placed in the water.

When Cheng Yujin was reading, she didn't like people nearby. She knew Cheng Yujin's rules, so she retreated to the outside quietly. Cheng Yujin has lived alone in a courtyard since she was a director. Qingfu didn't have a baby when she raised her. She smelled the baby's milk smell and felt disgusted. When Cheng Yujin was able to act on her own, she couldn't help throwing Cheng Yujin out. It's good. Cheng Yujin has been in charge of her maids and belongings since she was a child. She is more mature than other girls.

Her courtyard is not as big as Cheng Yuanjing '. From the door to the main room, there is a cross shaped blue stone corridor. In the flower garden, there is a tall flower tree, which is especially lively in spring. The four corners all opened the corner door, and when they opened the door, they would meet the Marquis's house, which was deep in the courtyard. When they closed the door, they would be self-sufficient.

Her main room is five rooms, but it's not as spacious as old lady Cheng and Cheng Yuanjing's. Cheng Yujin puts the most western one into a bedroom, which is partitioned by a wooden lattice moon door. On the wooden partition, colorful curtains are hung according to the solar term to cover the outside sight. West between the arhat bed and exquisite mahogany seats, used to receive close guests. The middle one is the main hall, where visitors and new year's servants kowtow. In the East is Cheng Yujin's own space, the innermost is the study, and the other is the place for embroidery.

Cheng Yujin made a rule that only the second-class maid could enter the main room, but she could only wipe the seats and run errands in the main hall. Only the first-class maid could enter her study and bedroom.

Cheng Yujin sat at the table for a while, and suddenly remembered that Cheng Yuanjing had given her a bottle of ointment today.

She remembers asking Duro to put it away at noon. Where was it?

Cheng Yujin went to Duobao Pavilion and found porcelain bottles in a small drawer. What she said today was originally a joke. Who knows, Cheng Yuanjing actually prepared something, or wound medicine.

The medicine can't be given randomly. It's usually prepared in advance. Cheng Yujin is a little curious and a little unconvinced. Will people like Cheng Yuanjing prepare medicine for others in advance?

She doesn't believe it. Cheng Yujin opened the medicine plug and sniffed it. Cheng Yujin originally had the idea of defending others, but she was even more confused by this smell.

How does she feel that this bottle of medicine tastes the same as the one given by Cheng Min earlier? Cheng Yujin finds out what Cheng Min has heard. A lady of Cheng Min hall doesn't cheat her. It's a royal medicine given by Lady Shufei. How can it be so similar to Cheng Yuanjing's?

The next day, Cheng Yujin went to copy as usual. Her eyes were full of inquiry when she looked at Cheng Yuanjing. Cheng Yuanjing didn't talk much, and Cheng Yujin never said useless words. They often stayed in the room for an afternoon, and they didn't disturb each other and did their own things.

Cheng Yujin thinks that this person is quiet and self disciplined and comfortable to get along with. However, at night, Cheng Yujin is helpless.

For several days, as soon as she was free, Cheng Yuanjing called her "Cheng Yujin", and then she had to go back to practice calligraphy. During the days when Cheng Min stayed in Hou's residence, Cheng Yujin never found a chance to be alone with Xu Zhixian.

Cheng Yujin suspects that Cheng Yuanjing is deliberately making fun of her, but then she thinks that she has not offended Cheng Yuanjing, and there is no conflict of interest with Cheng Yuanjing. Is he not so bored? Maybe he was in a hurry to make the he Shou embroidery screen, so he urged her to practice calligraphy well.

Maybe it's her heart of villain that makes a gentleman's stomach.

Today, Cheng Yumo and Xu Zhixian are playing together. Cheng Yujin consciously stands at the door, waiting for Cheng Yuanjing.

Don't bother him. She'll come by herself.

After playing for a while, Xu Zhixian found that Cheng Yujin was not there. He cried across the room, "sister Jin, where are you going?"

Cheng Yujin had already put on her cape and deerskin boots and said, "it's getting late. I have to go back to practice calligraphy."

"Oh." Xu Zhixian answers blankly. At this time, Cheng Yuanjing has come to him. Cheng Yujin says hello to Xu Zhixian in a hurry, and then chases Cheng Yuanjing out.

Xu Zhixian watched the two people leave one after another. After a long time, he scratched his head and murmured: "sister Jin is really diligent. I'm leaving tomorrow. I thought I could talk to sister Jin tonight. "The next day, Cheng Min takes a taxi back to Changguo mansion, and the servants of Changguo mansion come to the second gate to welcome him. Cheng Yujin stood behind the Chuihua gate with her grandmother, quietly watching the carriage of the government go away.

It's good to have money and power. Even the carriage is more elegant than the Marquis's. Cheng Yujin's heart to marry into the high gate is stronger. Married is the second reincarnation, she can not decide their parents, can only try to find a gaomenfulang. She was fed up with the feeling of being dependent on others. No one could stop her from going up.

When Mrs. Cheng went home, Mrs. Cheng did not give up, but the rest of the Cheng family were relieved. My aunt is here. No matter what they do, they should be careful to hold my sister-in-law and the two children of the Xu family. Ruan went back to the yard and sat down on the collapse. He was relieved.

"It's gone. It's really tiring to walk around with her these days. The old lady just moved her mouth. They were both happy. We were all involved. "

Cheng Yumo climbed up and hammered Ruan's shoulder: "Niang, you've worked hard. My daughter will loosen your muscles and bones."

Ruan was moved by her daughter's move and her eyes were sore: "my daughter is old and knows how to hurt people. My mother really didn't raise you in vain."

One side of the maid see gap said: "daughter is mother's intimate little cotton padded jacket, two girls have 14, later filial piety wife time more."

Ruan nodded: "yes, Mo'er will marry a good husband in the future. He can not only honor his parents, but also help your younger brother. It's much easier than raising a son."

Cheng Yumo's face turned red when she was told. She twisted her body in a coquettish way and said, "mother, people beat your back well, but you say these words. Besides, I'll ignore you. "

Ruan and her maid laugh. Cheng Yumo blushes in their laughter and runs out. The laughter inside is even louder. Cheng Yu's Mo Feng dispels the heat on her face. Although she's ashamed, she can't help thinking that it's been a month since brother Changyuan came to propose marriage?

At the beginning, I said that I would marry my sister after I gave up my marriage.

Even if Cheng Yumo believed in Huo Changyuan, he was worried now. Her grandmother and mother are looking for candidates for her. The most important thing is that she has heard Xu Nianchun say that some people have asked the Huo family about Huo Changyuan's marriage. If we don't make a decision, she and Huo Changyuan will go the same way as before?

Cheng Yumo is restless here, while Huo Xueshi is perfunctory to Huo Changyuan and looks at the daughters of other mansions in Jingyong mansion.

It's not only the Cheng family that has daughters in the world. The one who deserves her son is the most outstanding one. Cheng Yumo is not the official daughter of Yichun marquis. Once the old Marquis dies, the title will belong to her uncle. What does it have to do with their family? Moreover, Cheng Yumo's father's official position is not high, so he can be mediocre. In order to seduce Changyuan, Huo Xue is not willing to choose her as his daughter-in-law.

Huo Changyuan occasionally asked, Huo Xueshi said fast fast, and in private, she has selected other people.

Cheng Yujin has no mind to pay attention to the Huo family and Cheng Yumo. Here, Huo Changyuan is dead. She has her next husband in her eyes and the task of embroidering the screen in her hands. She has been copying Cheng Yuanjing's handwriting for half a month in a row. Yesterday, Cheng Yuanjing finally said that she looks a little like him. Cheng Yujin asked her servant girl to move out her embroidery frame, and she will move the needle these days.

This screen is very important. Cheng Yujin's embroidery skill is excellent, but he practiced for several days to make sure that he could copy Cheng Yuanjing's words completely before carefully dropping the stitches.

The screen for the emperor's birthday is not a big one, but a small one. Cheng Yujin takes the embroidered corner to Cheng Yuanjing to see it. When Cheng Yuanjing sees it, she picks her eyebrows in surprise: "how can you embroider it yourself?"

"Of course." Cheng Yujin understood why Cheng Yuanjing said that. The master's "hands" in the gaomen courtyard were actually the servants. The needlework is boring and difficult, and the ladies can't even bear the pain. Even when they make a gift for their mother-in-law's family, they are embroidered by the maid. If the master chooses two stitches, they will be embroidered by hand.

That's what Marquis Cheng meant. And Cheng Yujin actually held the needle in person. No wonder Cheng Yuanjing was surprised.

Cheng Yujin said with a smile, "since I've got the name, I must do my best. The xiuniang outside is not at ease. It's better for me to come in person. "

Cheng Yuanjing chuckled. She was really confident. He gave Cheng Yujin some face. He opened the semi-finished product and looked at it. He didn't care about it. Cheng Yujin's age and her skills were so complicated that she had to try almost everything. In this case, how good can she be.

But when Cheng Yuanjing's eyes touched the embroidery, he was really surprised: "double sided embroidery?"

"Yes." Cheng Yujin added with a smile, "to be exact, it's double-sided embroidery."

Cheng Yuanjing heard a little about double-sided embroidery. Xiuniang stitched both sides at the same time. There was no thread at all. It was called double-sided embroidery. The double-sided embroidery is even more powerful. At the same time, the patterns on both sides are different.

Cheng Yuanjing really looks up to Cheng Yujin. Double sided embroidery takes at least several decades. It's very difficult for xiuniang to arrange the stitches carefully. Therefore, the finished products of double-sided embroidery on the market can be counted. Most of them are sent to the palace as tributes, and few of them are spread outside. It's even more difficult to embroider on both sides. It can be called the highest skill of embroidery. It's just a matter of talent. No matter how many years of experience you have, you can't say that you can't do it. It's incredible that Cheng Yujin can embroider on both sides at a young age.Cheng Yuanjing looked at Cheng Yujin and said, "no wonder."

No wonder she dares to embroider the best. She comes to hold the needle. Sure enough, I have the confidence.

Cheng Yujin did not understand: "what?"

Cheng Yuanjing never said repeated words, he did not answer, suddenly some curiosity: "why do you double-sided embroidery?"

"Uncle Jiu probably forgot that my grandfather's fiefdom was in Jiangnan. This is the dowry carefully chosen by my grandfather when my mother married the capital. "

Cheng Yuanjing has an impression of the king of Ning, who has been a descendant in the south of the Yangtze River for many years. Cheng Yujin learned how to make a living at the age of 14. I'm afraid she's more powerful than her needlework master.

Cheng Yuanjing asked: "you can embroider on both sides. Why have you never heard of it?"

With Cheng Yujin's calculating nature, she should be able to operate until everyone knows it.

"That's not good. If they all know I can embroider, isn't everyone coming to me? I don't have my mother to stop me. Why should I do these things at my own expense? "

Cheng Yuanjing pauses for a moment and laughs. Sure enough, she's still her. It's not that she doesn't count, it's that she counts home.

No matter who she marries, she can live well in the future. He would be surprised to see many tributes. When her husband saw that she could embroider on both sides, wouldn't he be as happy as if he had found a treasure?

Cheng Yuanjing didn't know why he was unhappy.
