Chapter 33

Several ladies look at each other. They live in the capital all the year round and are well-informed. This incident is particularly complicated. These ladies have heard about it for a long time. Marquis Jingyong first got engaged to the eldest daughter of marquis Yichun, and then suddenly said that they were wrong. They gave up with the eldest daughter and became the second aunt.

It's a snowy night to get to know each other, to save lives, to give up marriage, and to change sisters' marriage. So many gossip focuses on one marriage. The story of Cheng's eldest daughter and Jing yonghou has long been spread crazy by the ladies these days. My wife and I had a private discussion. Now they suddenly met a real person. They were all surprised.

Is this Miss Cheng? He is one of the best in appearance, excellent in manners and good in family background. So why does the Huo family want to retire?

Since ancient times, when a gentleman has made a promise, people attach great importance to the contract, especially the marriage contract between two families. It is necessary to be cautious when withdrawing from marriage. There is really no way after that.

If the eldest daughter of the Cheng family is ugly, disabled, or perverse, unfilial or disrespectful, the Huo family can still understand. However, how many people are the ideal candidates for a daughter-in-law for a girl of the Cheng family who wants to have people, talents and family background? What's wrong with Huo Xue's marriage?

All the wives who had a daughter-in-law at home cast puzzled eyes at Huo Xue. There are hundreds of women in a family. In addition, women can marry high, but men can marry low. Therefore, when these ladies look at their wives, they have to lower their demands more or less, seize the big ones and endure the small ones. If you want your daughter-in-law to be beautiful, you have to lower the standard. Sometimes you can't even have a good spleen. Married women can influence three generations. Cheng Yujin, who is smart and decent, decides to go home and steal music. Huo Xueshi is not satisfied, so he quits his elder sister and changes to his younger sister?

Anyway, these ladies couldn't understand it. They thought, maybe Miss Cheng's second daughter is very outstanding, and her ability is much better than her sister's, so Huo Xue threw the good one and replaced it with a better one.

Otherwise, they can't figure out why.

Ruan did not expect Cheng Yujin to stand up and deny it. Ruan thought that Huo Changyuan was young and promising, and it was a great honor to be engaged to him. Cheng Yujin's marriage is changed to Mo'er. Cheng Yujin must be annoyed and secretly mediates. When she has a chance, she can't wait to be misunderstood. How can she take the initiative to clarify that she is not Huo Changyuan's fiancee?

Not only Ruan was stunned, but Huo Xue was also surprised. Cheng Yujin's explanation is too fast, as if he can't avoid it, which makes Huo Xue's family feel absurd that his son is rejected. Huo Xueshi is not happy. She has suffered losses in dealing with Cheng Yujin before. Now seeing this man again, Huo Xueshi is more and more sure that she doesn't like Cheng Yujin.

Huo Xue said coldly: "Miss Cheng didn't say it last time. It doesn't matter after she quits her marriage. From then on, the bridge returns to the road. What happened today? "

Cheng Yujin smile unchanged, said: "Mrs. Huo may think too much, my grandmother in the rest, I just for grandmother to send guests out, now back to life."

Huo Xue's face froze. Seeing this, Ruan said quickly, "well, I have something else to say with Mrs. Huo. Don't cut in when you're an adult. "

"Yes, second aunt." Cheng Yujin gave a light smile, gave a gift to several people, and then turned to go out. After going out, she stood by the window and said in a low voice, "tea for the ladies. When the guests arrive, you neglect them. What's the etiquette

A little servant girl passing by said, "but I'm going to wash melons and fruits."

Another maid said, "there are no candles in the front yard. I want to send new ones."

Cheng Yujin said, "you are a runner in the back hall, but you go to the front yard to deliver incense. Another girl in the front yard runs to the kitchen to wash melons and fruits. It seems that they are very busy, but how much time is wasted on the way? If the guests come, the fruits and melons need to be washed, the tea hasn't arrived for a long time, and there's something to ask, even the servant girl of the running room can't see. What's the point? Each of them performs his own duties. The one who serves tea only serves tea, not incense. The one who washes vegetables only washes vegetables, not entertains guests. Those in the front yard only care about the front yard, and those in the back yard don't run outside, so that you can run around one by one, but you can't do anything. Who can you show me

A few servant girls all bow to listen to training, Nuo Nuo says is. Cheng Yujin casually asked two questions about what they used to do, and then assigned tasks to several other people. They spread out and concentrated on their own work, which was much faster than just now.

Cheng Yujin was standing on the plagiarism corridor when she was lecturing. Her voice was not high, and she could not be seen directly from the room. However, no one spoke in the room at this time. Cheng Yujin's words just now spread to all the ladies.

With Huo Xue's coming together, the expressions on the ladies' faces became more subtle. Cheng's eldest daughter not only had good appearance and good manners, but also had a good hand in managing her family. Look at her. She's just lecturing. She's very well-organized. She performs better than her daughter-in-law in her twenties.

The ready-made examples are right in front of you. Ruan's family has three children. In the same situation, Ruan's family can only sit here, but Cheng Yujin, a little girl, can find out the problem. After going out for a few words, the servant girls are all obedient and forbidden.The ladies cast a silent glance at Huo Xue's family, all picking their eyebrows and saying nothing. Huo Xue's face is not very good. His former daughter-in-law demolishes the platform face to face, and now he shows his ability in front of the public. Huo Xue simply suspects that Cheng Yujin did it on purpose.

In fact, Cheng Yujin did it on purpose. It only took her a cup of tea to straighten out the mess of the inner courtyard, but it could add to Huo Xue's block. Why not do this kind of cost-effective business?

She left the rest yard in a happy mood and went on to the mourning hall to entertain the women. Not long after Cheng Yujin left, Cheng Yumo came.

When Ruan learns that Huo Xue is here, she whispers to Cheng Yumo, asking her to come to her future mother-in-law and sell well. I didn't expect Cheng Yujin to show up and go. Cheng Yumo, the person in charge, came late. Ruan had a feeling that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry. She understood the hardships of being a daughter-in-law and planned for her daughter everywhere. However, Cheng Yumo was not in a hurry and even hesitated to walk.

Ruan's heart can't say sigh.

The ladies first met Cheng Yujin and thought that Huo Xue couldn't look up to such a person. Maybe the second miss of the Cheng family is a fairy. Because expectations were too high, when Cheng Yumo arrived, the ladies were disappointed to see the real person, but they scored lower than normal.

Huo Xue's attitude is so high, and he blows his family so hard. In fact, is that his vision?

The ladies were disdained. If they just quit marriage, they won't say anything, but they get a far inferior engagement, which makes people laugh. The ladies thought in their hearts, and could not help but bring out some of them. Huo Xue's widowhood for many years, the most sensitive evaluation of others, she soon realized that these ladies are laughing at her. Huo Xueshi didn't want to know what he was doing. Instead, he thought bitterly, blaming Cheng Yumo for losing her face.

Ruan specially came to talk with Huo Xue. She didn't know what happened. Huo Xue's face became more and more ugly. Ruan doesn't know why. She turns to think that maybe Huo Xue is worried about holding his grandson and dissatisfied with Cheng Yumo's filial piety for a year, so her face is getting worse and worse.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was right. She covered her lips and coughed a few times. When other ladies saw her, they asked, "Mrs. Cheng, what's the matter with you?"

Ruan said: "it's an old problem. I always cough for a period of time every year. Last time Mrs. Huo left me some medicine, which is very easy to use. But the servant girl below is so confused that she forgot all the herbs. Could you please have a look at Mrs. Huo for me? "

Huo Xue understood as soon as he heard it. Ruan had something to say to her alone. Huo Xue's nest is full of evil fire. He just goes out to breathe, so he nods and agrees. Seeing that both Ruan and Huo Xue are going to leave, Cheng Yumo's eye power is still there, and he goes with them.

After they left, the other ladies sat in the tea room, chatting with each other: "Huo Xue's looks smart and strong, and he is also very strong when he is widowed. I don't know how much effort he has put into his son these years. She cares so much about her son. How can she provoke her daughter-in-law, but she has lost her watermelon and picked up sesame seeds? "

The obedient ladies shook their heads, one of them chuckled, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "there are many ways for the Huo family to withdraw their marriage. I'm afraid this second lady is not as innocent as we see

"What?" The other lady didn't believe it. "I've been training for many years. I think I'm in the spotlight, but I've lost my eye?" The lady who spoke as like as two peas in her eyes smiled and smiled, "nine sons, nine sons, and twins are not exactly the same." When the older girl has a sense of being a housekeeper, the younger sister can't have a sense of other things? "

"What do you say?"

"Haven't you heard that it's not Huo Xue's idea, but Huo Xiaohou's. According to Mrs. Zhou, when Huo Xue came to propose marriage to the second girl, she was disheartened by Miss Cheng on the spot. Huo's family didn't even dare to show up. After a few days, they gave presents to make amends. "

Hearing that it was Mrs. Zhou, the other ladies immediately believed it. Mrs. Zhou used to be a matchmaker. When Huo Xue came to propose marriage, she did ask Mrs. Zhou to accompany her.

Seeing that other people didn't know, Mrs. Zhou was more and more excited. She shared Mrs. Zhou's gossip again: "Mrs. Zhou said that it was really the Cheng family who discovered Lord Huo and asked her servants to save him. Had not thought of in Qingfu princess's villa, Huo Hou ye but took a fancy to come to visit his sister. He thought Miss Cheng was too dignified and boring, so he asked the family to replace her with a second girl. "

"Oh, and that kind of thing!" The other ladies were extremely surprised to hear this. Their parents ordered the matchmaker to tell them which younger generation could change whatever they like? They all have sons and husbands. They know what a man's virtue is. However, even if Huo Changyuan dislikes his elder sister as a Bodhisattva, he can't give up his elder sister and order another younger sister! What's this called.

The lady who shared the news shook her head and sighed: "isn't it? No wonder Miss Cheng saw Huo Xue's cold and light today, but Huo Xue's long face didn't dare to say a word. Daren Qing, they are ashamed of Miss Cheng! It's just that she's a poor daughter of the Cheng family, but she's involved in the affairs of the Huo family. She's prized away by her younger sister. Her fiance doesn't say anything about it. She's divorced, and it's hard to tell her future marriage. What a good girl! She looks good, has a good girl red and a good temperament. Although she is too dignified, she is the one who runs the family! It's not concubines to marry a wife. What do you want those demons to do? Oh, what a pity. "The other ladies felt the same way. The angle of the ladies and the young gentlemen is totally different. The gentlemen like to be lively and delicate. They will cry and act like spoilers. But the mothers in law like to be dignified and can teach their husband upward. Cheng Yujin is perfect.

Several ladies whispered the news on the grapevine. Cheng Yujin's appearance and temperament are in line with her husband's eyes. At the moment, she has become a complete victim in her family. And Huo Changyuan finished all the things that the wives were afraid of their sons, and naturally became the object of all the Crusades.

Behind every man who has changed his mind, there is a shameless fox spirit. When the ladies are hard to say that Miss Cheng is not the second lady of the Cheng family, they just say Huo Changyuan.

"Jingyonghou looked at the tall and brave, and had his own ideas and strategies. How could he do such a thing?"

"Who knows? You know the face, but you don't know the heart. Alas, when a man looks after himself, he suffers from his female dependents. Miss Cheng is such a good girl. What can I do in the future? "

The news in the ladies' mouth is more and more far away from the truth. Every time they pass a hand, they add oil and vinegar. The dregs are more and more dregs, and the poor people are more and more pitiful. Up to now, Cheng Yujin has become a virtuous but incomprehensible poor woman, who is very generative. After the spread of gossip, the ladies look at Cheng Yujin with pity.

If these words were heard by Huo Changyuan, I'm afraid he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. Is Cheng Yujin still innocent? When she waved her hand to hit people, she hit them directly in the face. She couldn't see the innocence and pity at all.

The ladies were all gangsters in the inner house. When they spoke, they were guarded by servant girls. Ruan didn't know what others had said after they left. Ruan and Huo Xue proposed the idea of marriage. Huo Xue only thought for a while and agreed.

Anyway, they are in law's family. Cheng Yumo is anxious to get married. Of course, Huo Xueshi won't have any objection.

After discussing with Huo Xue, Ruan and Huo Xue go to the back to find old lady Cheng. Old Marquis Cheng died of illness, and Cheng Min, a married woman, rushed back to her mother's home early in the morning to help. When Ruan and Huo Xue came in, Cheng Min was sitting in the room comforting Mrs. Cheng. She is an aunt. Naturally, there is no reason to avoid. Cheng Min also hears Ruan's proposal.

It's a matter of his mother's family. It's not easy for Cheng Min to interfere. But in her heart, she sighed and shook her head.

The most taboo thing for women is to catch up. It's not that Cheng Yumo can't get married. What's the rush to do? Originally, when a woman married to her mother-in-law's family, she had to have children and run the housework. Now she is in a hurry, and she can't tell how to make her mother-in-law look down on her.

But Ruan's mother is willing, and Mrs. Cheng agrees. What's Cheng Min's aunt against? Cheng Min gently sipped her mouth, and didn't say anything.

She didn't know how, and thought of an idea that had been shelved by her. In fact, she thought about it for a long time after she went back. Later, she heard that Cheng Yujin had embroidered a pair of double-sided embroidery for Hou's house, and even won the emperor's praise. Cheng Min stopped thinking about it. Her son is what level, Cheng Min himself knows, Cheng Yujin ability is too big, not their family can afford.

But today, the idea is back. Any big family marries women in the order of their age. Men may be able to change, but women can't surpass their seniority. If my sister gets married, but my sister is still at home, what do others think of Cheng Yujin? Those who know it understand that it's the Huo family who is too pit, Cheng Yujin who wants to keep filial piety, and Ruan and Huo Xue who are too anxious. But the capital is so long, how many people know about the Cheng family?

They will not understand Cheng Yujin's difficulties. They will only think whether Cheng Yujin has some hidden disease, so they can't get married.

Cheng Min sighs. When she sees that Ruan and Mrs. Cheng have something to say, she doesn't want to be a little sister-in-law anymore. She takes the initiative to leave. As soon as he went outside, Cheng Min immediately asked, "where's the second young master?"

"The second master is helping to entertain the guests in the outer courtyard."

The Cheng family is not prosperous, and the third generation is full of ups and downs. Cheng en'ci, Cheng en'bei, the two sons of Er Fang, is half a teenager. Cheng en Bao, the eldest son of Zheng Changfang, is still a child. It's impossible for Cheng Yuanxian to show up when he entertains young men, so Xu Zhixian also rushed back to his grandfather's house early to help entertain them.

Cheng Min immediately starts to find Xu Zhixian. Xu Zhixian is busy outside, but he can't help listening to the servant girl saying that his mother is looking for him. Xu Zhixian ran close to the room, pushed the door and asked, "mother, what can I do for you?"

Cheng Min was startled by him and glared at Xu Zhixian angrily: "you're a child. Why didn't you go up and down?"

"Mother, what do you want me to do? I'm still busy outside. If you have something to say, please say it

Xu Zhixian's heart is simple. Cheng Min knows his son's character, so he doesn't care about his little offence. Cheng Min pulls Xu Zhixian to sit down and looks at his son carefully from top to bottom. Xu Zhixian was so dazzled by this look that he couldn't help rubbing his arm and asked, "mother, what are you going to say?"

Cheng Min asked with a smile, "Zhixian, tell me the truth with your mother. What do you think of your cousin Yujin?"

"Sister Jin? Of course she's good at everything. "

That's the truth. Growing up in the shadow of Cheng Yujin, Xu Zhixian is used to Cheng Yujin's better rules, better homework and more diligent calligraphy practice She even knew the content of the men's imperial examination, but Xu Zhixian couldn't. For any project that Cheng Yujin participates in, you don't have to think that Cheng Yujin must be the first. Over time, Xu Zhixian got used to it.Because that's Cheng Yujin.

Xu Zhixian thinks that her mother wants to educate herself with Cheng Yujin. Unexpectedly, Cheng Min's next sentence is: "what do you think about letting Yu Jin be your wife?"
