Chapter 42

When Cheng Yujin heard this, she just stopped a little, and then walked into the hall without hesitation.

The maid stood outside the screen window and reported, "old lady, the big girl is coming."

Ruan suddenly heard Cheng Yujin's name, and his face became stiff. The Marquis's house is busy with the funeral of marquis Cheng these days. There are people everywhere. However, no matter how busy they are, the big and small things are tightly grasped by old lady Cheng and Princess Qingfu, and nothing can be left out of Ruan's hands. Having nothing to do, Ruan couldn't help worrying about her daughter's marriage. If you want her to say that when Master Cheng died, Dafang got a lot of money and made a lot of money. The only one who got hurt was her little girl Mo'er.

Ruan miss for several days, afraid of Cheng Yumo married late, by other women. Today, Ruan finally found a chance to talk to Mrs. Cheng about it. She just finished. Mrs. Cheng was silent. When she heard that Cheng Yujin was coming, they both stopped.

Cheng Yujin pretended that she didn't hear anything. She went into the room as usual with a smile. She saluted them in a big way: "Yujin, please say hello to my grandmother and to my second aunt. It was windy last night. There was a lot of noise in the middle of the night. Didn't grandma catch a cold

Mrs. Cheng's face was light and said, "I'm ok. I don't like to be greedy when I'm old. You kids should pay attention. Don't sleep with the window open at night. Be sure to let the servant girl check. "

"Granddaughter understood, thanks grandmother to remind." Cheng Yujin answers with a smile. Her expression is too calm, and she doesn't care at all. Cheng Yujin, on the contrary, made old lady Cheng and Ruan's family unhappy.

When Ruan saw old lady Cheng and Cheng Yujin, you came to me to say polite things, just like the appearance of zuci sunxiao, she could not help being a little anxious. How old lady Cheng and Cheng Yujin pretend she doesn't care, but Mo'er's business can't be delayed any longer. Re Xiao's marriage must be in the daytime. Now it's half over. Today, it's hard to start. If it's not settled, Cheng Yumo will have to wait for a year.

Worried, Ruan couldn't help interrupting Mrs. Cheng: "Niang, you see what I just said..."

Mrs. Cheng secretly glared at Ruan, and despised her eyesight. Take a look at this appearance of being unable to calm down. It's not on the table at all.

Cheng Yujin laughed in her heart. She looked as usual and said deliberately: "it was I who interrupted the second aunt. It's my fault. Yujin is here to make amends to the second aunt. You can say whatever you want. Don't worry about me. "

Ruan's hesitation gave birth to a sense of guilt. She and Mrs. Cheng secretly discussed the marriage of Cheng Yumo Rexiao, but Mrs. Cheng didn't object to it. She only said that she would talk about it when the Marquis passed. Old lady Cheng let go, and Cheng Yumo's marriage ahead of time is basically certain. However, although this matter has become a consensus, it has not been officially announced, that is to say, Cheng Yujin does not know.

Ruan didn't know that Cheng Yujin had heard her talk with Cheng Yuanhan early in the morning, and Cheng's wife didn't know that Cheng Min told Xu Zhixian about it, which happened to be knocked down by Cheng Yujin. All in all, on the surface, Cheng Yujin should not know about it.

Ruan has always been upright, and she is doing it for her daughter's good. There is no way to deal with birth, aging, illness and death, but is it not important to have children in marriage? The flowering period of a girl's family is very short. It takes her a year to be born. I don't know how much to miss. If I have a concubine or an eldest son during this period of time, it will affect a woman's life.

So what's wrong with her doing this? Ruan has always believed in it. However, at the moment, in front of Cheng Yujin's clear eyes, Ruan's lips moved several times, unable to speak.

Cheng Yumo married ahead of time, which is no problem for ER Fang. But what about Cheng Yujin in front of Cheng Yumo? As a sister, but sister skip, outsiders want to think of Cheng Yujin?

It's not that Ruan didn't think about this problem, but every time the idea came out, she turned away as if nothing had happened. Ruan's mind is so self deceptive that it's almost ridiculous. Anyway, Cheng Yujin doesn't know it yet, so there's no need to think about it. Let it be. There must be a way.

However, Mrs. Cheng and Ruan both know that there is no way. If they want to win over Huo Changyuan, a potential dragon with unlimited future, and want Cheng Yumo to give birth to the eldest son of Jingyong Marquis, they have to sacrifice Cheng Yujin. After all, Cheng Yujin was divorced, and her future is not clear. However, Jingyong Marquis's house is a tangible and ready-made advantage. It is entirely predictable who Mrs. Cheng will choose.

Cheng Yujin is not surprised, let alone sad, but she does not want to easily let go of the old lady and Ruan. Stepping on the life-long tragedy of a granddaughter, he also delusions that his granddaughter has no complaints and continues to work hard to be filial to the Cheng family. There is no such good thing in the world. Cheng Yujin smiles and gently asks, "second aunt, why did you come here? What did you say to your grandmother just now? If there is any outsider now, just keep talking. I won't disturb you. "

Sure enough, Cheng Yujin's voice fell, and Ruan's eyes were even more evasive. She was too embarrassed to look at Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yujin gave a "Gee", looked back and forth at old lady Cheng and Ruan, and said strangely, "grandmother, second aunt, what's the matter with you? Can't I listen to what you say? "

Ruan is so guilty that she can't speak. The palm and back of her hand are all flesh. Cheng Yujin is also her daughter. Although she didn't grow up with her these years, she was born in October. How can she not care? Ruan also loves Cheng Yujin, but what can Ruan do. Mo'er has been weak since she was a child. Over the years, she has to give anything good to Cheng Yujin. Did she even have to sacrifice her marriage for Cheng Yujin? It's not Mo'er who caused Cheng Yujin's divorce.Finally, Mrs. Cheng sighed and said, "well, it's cruel to keep it from her until now. I'll tell you what you said to me

Ruan immediately scolded old lady Cheng for not being a thing. Old lady Cheng wanted to be good on both sides, but let Ruan be the villain! In any case, Mrs. Cheng is a kind grandmother. In case Cheng Yujin can talk about a good marriage later, Mrs. Cheng can also stand up and ask for Cheng Yujin's filial piety.

Ruan swore in her heart, but she didn't dare to disobey Mrs. Cheng. She just gave a stiff smile and said, "actually, it's not a big deal Your sister is engaged. Seeing that Marquis Huo is not young, Mrs Huo is anxious to have a grandson, so she wants Mo'er to marry ahead of time. Although it doesn't conform to the etiquette, Huo Xue is Mo Er's mother-in-law after all. If we don't give her face, I'm afraid she will make trouble for Mo Er in the future. So I discussed with your grandmother for a while, hoping that Mo'er would get married while he was in hot filial piety. If your grandfather saw it, he would be able to go on his way However, we have only discussed this matter, and we have not reached a final conclusion yet.... "

In the end, Ruan added two words, but this more reflected her guilty. Cheng Yujin had expected that, when she heard these words, she could not stir up any ripples in her heart.

However, this does not prevent her from taking the opportunity to strike a pen.

Cheng Yujin stares at Ruan's eyes in amazement. At last, she looks as if she finally reacts. A layer of water mist spreads over her eyes, and then she blinks down in a hurry. Cheng Yujin lowered her head, which made her look indistinct, but in her voice she trembled: "what's the meaning of Er Auntie's words? Are you going to let the second sister get married first? "

Cheng Yujin is always dignified and generous, suddenly showing a weak state. Old lady Cheng and Ruan are caught off guard. If Cheng Yumo cries, Mrs. Cheng will not feel pity. However, this person is Cheng Yujin, and Mrs. Cheng, who has a hard heart, seldom feels guilty.

After all, they are the elders. I'm sorry to Cheng Yujin. It was originally Cheng Yujin's marriage, but in the end, it was changed to Cheng Yumo. Now, for the sake of Cheng Yumo's success for the rest of his life, Cheng Yujin is in a dilemma.

In a word, Cheng Yujin's luck is really bad. The twins were born auspicious, but they were adopted after birth. Doukou Nianhua saved people on the snowy mountain, and was told that Huo Changyuan had wronged them only after he got engaged. Finally, Huo Changyuan gave up his marriage, and Cheng Yujin was praised by the sage himself. Seeing that the situation is going to get better, Cheng Yujin may still find a good husband, As a result, Mr. Cheng died in this joint.

Cheng Yumo can take advantage of Rexiao to get married, but Cheng Yujin is bound to keep it for a year. People are so forgetful. A year later, the gold embroidery tools given by the emperor have been forgotten. However, Cheng Yujin is burdened with the burden of getting married, getting older, and her sister getting married before herself. It's not easy to say that she is a good relative.

And there are many consequences that Mrs. Cheng contributed to.

Cheng Yujin still lowers her head. She refuses to let others see her face, but her shaking shoulders can't deceive people. Mrs. Cheng sighed and said, "don't cry, big girl. Your sister's business can't be delayed. You are my sister. Please be considerate of them."

Cheng Yujin has heard these words many times since she was young. You are the elder sister, so you have to let your younger brother and younger sister. You are the elder sister, so your younger brother and younger sister make mistakes, which is your dereliction of duty. You are the elder sister, so it is reasonable for parents to prefer younger brother and younger sister. It's normal to take care of small things first. You can't be more serious, or you are not sensible.

Cheng Yujin said, "well, now she really doesn't care. She doesn't care about the attention of her parents and the love of her relatives, but she wants more money and benefits.

Cheng Yujin put her hand in her sleeve, took out a lavender handkerchief and gently pressed it on both sides of her eyes to wipe her tears. Unexpectedly, more and more tears came. Cheng Yujin raised her face. Old lady Cheng and Ruan saw that Cheng Yujin's eyes were red and full of water.

Mrs. Cheng and Ruan were speechless. As she wiped more and more tears, Cheng Yujin wisely said, "I know that I am the elder sister after all, and I want to let my younger brother and sister below me. Anyway, I've been like this all my life, but the future of the second sister is just right. I'll sacrifice some to make the second sister's marriage successful. However, this is our own business, but after all, we pay attention to the order of growing up. My sister has not married yet, and my sister is married in Rexiao. It's hard for outsiders to say. In my opinion, it's better for me to twist my hair and become a monk, and make room for my second sister, so that outsiders can't say anything. "

Ruan was startled, lost his voice and said, "what are you talking about?"

Cheng Yujin said without blinking: "it seems that the second aunt is not satisfied? Also, if I become an aunt, I'm afraid others will guess if I'm forced to do harm to my second sister. Also, the second sister, after all, is going to be Mrs. Hou's person. How can she have an elder sister of the ancient Buddha? Thank you. Grandma gave me a piece of white silk. When my grandfather's seven seven seven is over, I'll choose a quiet day and end it quietly. I won't give you any trouble, so that my second aunt can see my sister off. "

When Ruan heard these words, his eyelashes moved and tears rolled down. She covered her face with a handkerchief and choked, "what are you talking about, you child! You and Mo'er are the flesh that fell from me. When you were born, you were weak. The doctor said that I'm afraid you can't support me. I want to go for you. Seeing that you have raised your sisters to the age of marriage, you have said something about life and death. How do you want me to live? You are trying to stab me in the heartRuan said that at last, she almost roared out. When Cheng Yujin heard that she knelt down, she cried in silence. She was wearing a white dress, and her slender chin was almost whiter than her clothes. Kneeling on the ground, her sleeves were stacked, which made her more delicate and fragile. She broke when she folded. Cheng Yujin's eyes were washed with water, and two lines of clear tears on the side of her cheek fell slowly, crystal clear, quiet and helpless.

Cheng Yujin is not as emotional as Ruan's, but her voice is deliberately suppressed, which makes people worried: "what does the second aunt want me to do? You don't want me to be a nun, and you don't want me to be a nun. What do you want me to do? "

Ruan covered his mouth with a handkerchief and cried out of breath. Cheng Yujin knelt on the ground, tears fluttering down, clearly did not make a sound, but it is more painful than Ruan's hoarseness. Old lady Cheng was so depressed by this big and small cry that she couldn't stand it any more. She patted the table hard and said, "all right, don't cry."

Ruan's voice turned from strong to weak, while Cheng Yujin was still kneeling steadily on the ground, pressing her eyes with her handkerchief from time to time, with a steady output and long stamina. Mrs. Cheng sighed deeply and said, "getting married is a great joy. Why do you have to trade one for another? The second girl can't wait there. It's better to go out early. The older girl will stay at home in peace and keep filial piety. When the filial piety period is over, she will talk about marriage and choose her son-in-law. "

Cheng Yujin doesn't want to kill her with an empty word. Mrs. Cheng is very nice now, but a year later, who knows if she will recognize her. With tears in her eyes, Cheng Yujin asked, "grandmother, it's true that I was divorced. It's also true that my second sister married before me. Even if my family intends to do something for me, things will change a year later. People outside don't know how to pass on me. Under such conditions, how can my family say goodbye to me? Instead of embarrassing my elders at that time, I'd better stop myself now, come quietly and walk quietly, so as not to be talked about by others. "

"Say it Mr. Cheng calmly scolded, "it's not easy for your parents to raise you up at home. If it's a big problem, the whole family will discuss it and find a solution. What's it like to look for life and death easily?"

Ruan was frightened by Mrs. Cheng's momentum. She bowed her head and said, "yes, my mother taught me right."

After the training, Mrs. Cheng softened her face and said, "your grandfather left in a hurry. Before he died, he specially prepared a dowry for your sisters. I think he is looking forward to seeing you get married and have children. It's a pity that he didn't wait for this step after all. In my opinion, it's better to give your grandfather one last thought. Before he left, his bed was full of his own people, and outsiders didn't know what to say. They simply said that it was your grandfather's will. He watched the eldest granddaughter grow up. In his heart, he was the same as the eldest grandson, so he stayed at home to bear filial piety, while the youngest granddaughter was spoiled, so she got married quickly and gave birth to a great grandson to bring good news to the old people. "

Ruan's cry had already stopped unconsciously. Cheng Yujin was quite satisfied with this statement. She turned her eyes around and asked, "but, can outsiders believe this statement?"

"On your grandfather's seventh day, I'll tell the visitors myself. Your grandfather's last words are reasonable to me. If they don't believe others, they don't believe me. I've always had that face when I'm so old. "

Cheng Yujin got the letter, finally satisfied, she no longer press the veil to her eyes, tears gradually stopped. Heaven and earth Pro Jun teacher, can withstand the male and female etiquette only more powerful hierarchical suppression, such as filial piety, such as monarch and minister. Cheng Yujin was robbed by her sister to get married. It must be said by outsiders. However, Cheng Yujin has not kept a low profile these years. Many people are pressed by her, and they don't know how much resentment they have had. Once Cheng Yujin is in trouble, they don't know how many people have to jump on her feet. At that time, the situation can't be controlled, and it's uncertain how many ugly words will come out. Some black hearted people will pass it on blindly, saying that she has a hidden disease, so she will be divorced by the Jingyong mansion. But the Yichun Marquis knew the inside story, gave up the plan to let Cheng Yujin marry, so directly let the younger sister get married.

At that time, Cheng Yujin was unable to argue. No matter how hard she was to turn over the game. After all, how can you prove that you have a hidden disease? And if it's not a hidden disease, why is it abandoned by the family?

But if it is to be ordered to be filial, it will be totally different. When the word "filial piety" came down, all the weddings and funerals, marriage and family affairs had to be backed down. Moreover, Cheng Yujin was named "filial piety" by Marquis Cheng himself. Raised in the knee, as the eldest grandson, this honor is not trivial. When a daughter-in-law keeps filial piety for her father-in-law, she can't give up. Even if she violates the rule of seven, her husband can't give up easily. It can be seen how heavy it is to keep filial piety. And the eldest granddaughter in accordance with the eldest granddaughter's system of filial piety, this is how much credit.

Since ancient times, women's family members did not enter the ancestral temple. For thousands of years, sacrificial rites and other things were dominated by men, and there were few women's positions. However, Cheng Yujin was one of them, and she was the eldest grandson. The eldest grandson is the heir, and his position in the family inheritance is higher than that of the second son. Cheng Yujin's honor is simply unique, even Cheng Min's daughter. After the end of filial piety, Cheng Yujin just threw it out casually, which made a lot of people speechless. At that time, she will be able to add a big chip to the marriage market.

Cheng Yujin was very satisfied, even better than she had expected, and Mrs. Cheng said in person that this would be better. Cheng Yujin is extremely satisfied with today's harvest.

Cheng Yujin no longer cried. Du Ruo saw the opportunity and said, "girl, the ground is cold. Please get up and say it. Don't let the old lady down."The other servant girls wake up from a dream and quickly come forward to help Cheng Yujin get up. Cheng Yujin stood up with half a push. Seeing that Cheng Yujin's face was white, Mrs. Cheng couldn't bear it. She said, "bring an embroidery pier to the big girl, and then bring a cup of hot tea. The girl's house can't get cold. She has been kneeling on the ground for so long. Be careful to get cold. "

Cheng Yujin pretended to refuse, and sat down on the embroidery pier with the help of the servant girl. Ruan also cried for a long time, and now she is still standing aside. The makeup on Ruan's face has been flushed, and her eyes are red and swollen. She looks at Cheng Yujin, who has been crying but is still beautiful and elegant, and then looks at herself. She doesn't know why she is so uncomfortable.

Ruan's heart said that she had been crying for a long time, and she couldn't bear the cold. How could the old lady give Cheng Yujin tea and a seat, but she didn't care?

Cheng Yujin lifted the cup and drank the hot tea slowly. Seeing that everyone was in a stable mood, Mrs. Cheng said, "this is settled. I told them a few days later that it was the last wish of the old Marquis to leave the eldest girl to be filial and let the second girl get married. The most important thing for a family is to be friendly. Only when the people in the family are united, can they not be bullied by outsiders. Otherwise, before others do anything, we will become loose sand. "

Old lady Cheng wants to whitewash peace. Cheng Yujin nods her head and says yes, so she should listen to the excitement. Old lady Cheng saw that her daughter-in-law and Cheng Yujin both showed the appearance of being taught. She thought her words were effective, so she continued with satisfaction: "the matter of keeping filial piety and getting married is settled. You are not allowed to be suspicious in the future. I don't want to talk about what the old lady said before

Cheng Yujin stood up and said, "yes. It's just the granddaughter who wants to get in the way. Thanks to her good sense, she ordered her granddaughter in time, otherwise she would make a big mistake. "

With that, Cheng Yujin turned to Ruan and solemnly offered an apology: "my niece was so confused just now. I'd like to ask you to forgive me for your words and deeds. I hope the second aunt doesn't take those nonsense to heart. "

Cheng Yujin pleaded guilty and made amends. She said everything she could. On the contrary, it seemed that Ruan was not as sensible as a little girl. "It's nothing," said Ruan, "it's just a family. It's ok if you want to get married."

"I wish the second aunt didn't blame me." With that, Cheng Yujin's voice and appearance did not change, but she said, "it's just that there are some misunderstandings that are easy to happen. Second aunt, please don't say any more. My mother is Princess Qingfu, and my father is the master of the Cheng family. Although she is in love with her two younger sisters, she is a cousins across the room, not her own. I thank my second aunt for loving me, but my parents have someone else. If my first mother is a compatriot, my second aunt will stop talking about it in the future. "

Ruan's face froze and his throat choked. He couldn't even speak. Of course, she knows that Cheng Yujin is her own daughter. Qingfu is just a name. Everyone in the house knows this. Over the years, Ruan has always regarded herself as such, but Cheng Yujin said in front of her that her mother was someone else, and Ruan was just an aunt.

This seems to be a stab in Ruan's heart, which is more painful than what Cheng Yujin said just now. Ruan's face turned pale, but Mrs. Cheng was very satisfied with Cheng Yujin's understanding. She nodded her head admiringly and said, "the eldest girl is right. The second daughter-in-law just said the wrong thing in a hurry. She can't be so careless in the future."

Ruan's lips murmured, and the last trace of blood on his face disappeared.

This is Cheng Yujin. Don't you recognize her? She is Cheng Yujin's biological mother!
