Chapter 61

"Zhai Yanlin?" Cheng Yujin raised her eyebrow in surprise and asked, "how did Uncle Jiu ask him?"

Cheng Yuanjing's eyes looked at the slowly unfolding tea in the teacup. His tone was flat, and he didn't seem to care at all: "it's just a casual question."

Cheng Yujin also doesn't know why Cheng Yuanjing suddenly asked Zhai Yanlin. In line with the principle of cautious words and deeds, she said in a proper way: "Duke Cai is brave, good at fighting, and has a good command of the army. He is a rare talent. It's really a blessing for our people to have good generals like Duke CAI to serve our country. "

Cheng Yujin thought to herself that Cheng Yuanjing had never mentioned Zhai Yanlin before. After talking with Zhai Yanlin for a while, she came to ask her about Zhai Yanlin. Depending on the situation, it is likely that Zhai Yanlin's style of speech attracted Cheng Yuanjing's attention. Cheng Yuanjing moved his mind, so he came to ask her what she thought of Zhai Yanlin.

Whether in the future or now, Cheng Yuanjing needs to recruit talents. Since he is the person valued by his highness, can Cheng Yujin still say that the other party is not good? Even if it's only five points, Cheng Yujin has to say it's eight points, leaving two points to turn around.

Cheng Yujin thinks that her conjecture is in place. However, strangely, after she finishes, Cheng Yuanjing's face gets colder. Cheng Yujin wondered, what's going on? Is Cheng Yuanjing taboo to form a clique for personal gain, do not want her to say that each other's good?

Cheng Yujin couldn't guess Cheng Yuanjing's thoughts. Instead of expressing her opinions, she tentatively asked, "I don't understand military affairs. I heard all these words from my elders. Uncle Jiu asked, "what is this for?"

Cheng Yuanjing rubbed the green glazed porcelain cup, his eyes slightly empty. He found that he was becoming more and more narrow-minded. He could definitely ask Zhai Yanlin not to disturb Cheng Yujin again, but as soon as he turned around, he began to worry about gain and loss. No matter how much he said to Zhai, it can't be changed. The CAI government is really attractive to the Cheng family.

Although she is the stepmother, she is the wife of the Duke of the country. What does Cheng Yujin think about this? She has a clear and ambitious goal for her future. Will she not care about becoming a stepmother at all, but prefer Cai Guofu, a more noble and powerful platform?

Cheng Yuanjing didn't know, so he walked half way, then turned back and asked Cheng Yujin roundly, what do you think of Zhai Yanlin.

Before Cheng Yujin exports, he already has the expected answer in his heart. It's a pity that what Cheng Jinyu said is far from what he expected. Cheng Yuanjing is a little disappointed. If it wasn't for the quick and strong disappointment, he didn't know that he expected Cheng Yujin's negation.

Cheng Yuanjing himself wondered what happened to him. Mingming has got the answer, but he is still with a fluke of self deception, and thinks that maybe it's just Cheng Yujin who doesn't understand his question. This never happened in Cheng Yuanjing's past life. When Cheng Yuanjing was very young, he knew that the way ahead would not leave any feelings for him. He had long removed the feelings of weakness and fluke from his body.

But at this moment, Cheng Yuanjing stopped and asked, "what if he was the only one, regardless of his merits and titles?"

Cheng Yujin thought, sure enough, his royal highness intends to reuse the government of CAI. She sighed in her heart that her royal highness valued Lin Qingyuan and Cheng Yujin had nothing to say, but it was not worth valuing Zhai Yanlin?

She really thinks that the government of CAI is not much different from the Cheng family. Look at the heirs, Zhai Qing and Cheng enbao are all black sheep. The government of CAI is not as good as their Yichun marquis. The prince's royal highness and Cai's mansion, why don't you want to mention Yichun Marquis's mansion?

Cheng Yujin sighed in her heart, but on the surface, she had to smile and praise the superior's choice: "Uncle Jiu's eyes are like a torch. Of course, the people you like are all dragons and phoenixes among people."

Cheng Yuanjing had been paying attention to Cheng Yujin's expression change. He noticed that Cheng Yujin's face was slightly reluctant, and immediately asked, "if you have anything to say, I don't like others to cheat me."

Cheng Yujin sighed and said, "OK. Uncle Jiu, I'd like to say something unpleasant. As far as Duke Cai is concerned, of course he has made great contributions and is extremely brave. But as far as Prince Cai is concerned, it's really It's hard to say

Cheng Yuanjing thinks of Zhai Qing with the same feeling. A person's ability to manage both internal and external affairs is interlinked. If he has a high official position and a high salary and is vigorous and resolute, but he can't make clear the right and wrong of his family, his wife and concubine, or even his son, there must be something wrong with his character and ability. It's true that Zhai Qing was taught that way because his mother died early and his grandmother connived at him. But at the root, it's Zhai Yanlin, the father, who is incompetent.

Although Zhai Qing could not be disciplined because she was spoiled by her grandmother, isn't Zhai's old lady Zhai Qing's grandmother and Zhai Yanlin's mother? Old lady Zhai does not know right from wrong. Where can Zhai Yanlin be better. The old man is so old and fragile that he can't bear to scold the children. Can it be that Zhai Yanlin doesn't have the heart? Old lady Zhai looks like she is today. She has something to do with Zhai Yanlin.

From the perspective of family education, we can see that Zhai Yanlin is a very arrogant and headstrong man.

Cheng Yujin saw that Cheng Yuanjing didn't mean to retort, so she boldly continued: "children can still be said to be ignorant, but adults can't be excused in any way for their children to develop in this direction. The last time I met with Duke Cai, I found that although he was nominally strict with his son, he could only beat and scold him, but he had no patience at all. He even put all his son's upbringing in the inner house. Cai Guogong's wife passed away last year. Only Zhai's wife was in the inner house. Cai Guogong didn't say anything. If Guogong's wife is alive, and the son is what he is now, isn't it all the fault of Guogong's wife? "Cheng Yujin said these words as a trial. She observed Cheng Yuanjing's face as she said them. She planned to change her words as soon as she found out that they were wrong. Unexpectedly, when she had finished all of them, she didn't see Cheng Yuanjing stop her. Instead Cheng Yujin felt that his royal highness was still a little happy.

What are you happy about? Cheng Yujin is completely confused. Her royal highness is going to reuse the person. She speaks ill of the other person unconsciously. Is the prince very satisfied?

Cheng Yujin is so strange that she has doubts about her past world outlook. Cheng Yuanjing finally heard the answer he liked. He swept away his depression and even laughed: "look at what you mean, you seem to be a pity for Mr. and Mrs. Cai?"

"It's not a pity. I don't even know Mr. and Mrs. CAI." Cheng Yujin chuckled. In fact, she is a very vulgar person. If it doesn't have anything to do with her, Cheng Yujin won't care about other people's lives, but once it involves her own interests, Cheng Yujin can't bear it. Cheng Yujin's low evaluation of Zhai Yanlin is not due to the general direction of chaotang, Jiaguo and so on. It's just because old lady Cheng moved her mind to let her go to the government of CAI state to be her stepmother.

Cheng Yujin heard how Mrs. Zhai pointed out to her face and made a lot of demands for her future stepwife. They are on guard before they enter the door. Who is willing to serve these self respecting fools.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yujin was in a low mood. She sighed and said, "Mr. Cai, in any case, will not be short of a wife. There will always be young and beautiful officials who are willing to marry him. I'm not as good as others, but I'm here to worry about my future wife. It's ridiculous to say that. "

Cheng Yuanjing put down the tea cup, and when the bottom of the cup fell on the table, it made a clear sound. He drew down his eyebrows and looked at her deeply: "don't belittle yourself."

"I know." Cheng Yujin took a deep breath and soon began to laugh again. "Uncle Jiu, grandfather, on July 7, I met the second wife of the Zhai family when I was greeting my grandmother. Mrs. Zhai talked about the election of her wife in a chat. Mrs. Cai's official residence had already been set, and it would never change, so the future room would try hard to bring up the son of the two generation. In addition, she should be young and beautiful, virtuous and filial, capable of being a housekeeper and virtuous daughter. In a word, the requirements are very high. "

Cheng Yuanjing was curious and asked, "what do you think?"

"Me?" Cheng Yujin looked at Cheng Yuanjing and gradually became wary. "Uncle Jiu, if I said it directly, would you not feel offended?"

"No, I'll go through this step sooner or later. I'll listen to you in advance."

Cheng Yuanjing's words are straightforward and deliberate. However, Cheng Yujin thinks that Cheng Yuanjing means that he will marry the crown princess in the future, and wants to know the woman's views on the position of heir and family property in advance. Since it was the prince's Royal Highness who asked the question, Cheng Yujin had no scruples, so she said directly: "I think what they think is too beautiful. They put forward a lot of demands to the stepwife. Why don't they think about what the government can offer each other? Men want their wives to be gentle, courteous and thrifty, not arrogant and not envious, but when men pursue fame and wealth, women also want something. A woman's hard work in running a family, taking concubines for her husband, and raising children, is not for the sake of enjoying the happiness of being an old prince in her old age? If you know from the beginning that there is no return, who is willing to endure it? "

This is the first time that Cheng Yuanjing heard about women's views on marriage. In his original schoolwork, Taifu only arranged for him to learn the way of governing the country and the way of being king. No one ever said how he would manage his back home in the future. It seems that everyone thinks that this is the duty of the crown princess. As a prince, Cheng Yuanjing only needs to manage the court well. The court is the duty of the crown prince and the imperial concubine.

Why does the Crown Princess perform her duties? No one seems to have mentioned it.

Of course, Cheng Yuanjing doesn't think that after he gets married, he can throw all the back houses to her. The court hall is his office, and the inner house is his living place. Cheng Yuanjing naturally feels that everything should be in his own hands. However, Cheng Yujin's words still shocked him.

Cheng Yujin's life is too clear, too clear. Cheng Yuanjing asked, "what do you want?"

"I want my own interests, of course." After Cheng Yujin finished, she raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "it's not about the affairs of the government of the state of CAI. How can we say these things suddenly happened?"

But Cheng Yuanjing already understood: "so, if you want the power of housekeeper, even if you don't have it for a while, you must have the right to speak in the future. The most important thing is to ensure that the ultimate successor of power is your offspring. "

Cheng Yujin did think so, so she ruled out the government of CAI from the very beginning. If Cai Guogong doesn't have a son, she may still consider it, but the government of CAI Guogong already has an heir, and the whole family property is bound to be Zhai Qing's. Why did she do such a thing when she paid but didn't pay back?

Smart people only do things with high return probability, and marriage is the most important investment in Cheng Yujin's life. Marrying Zhai Yanlin is obviously not the optimal solution.

When Cheng Yujin saw Cheng Yuanjing, she thought about her identity. The topic of Royal heirs is sensitive and influential. Cheng Yujin doesn't want to get involved. She doesn't know the future crown princess, and she doesn't want to be thought by Cheng Yuanjing that she is hinting at Huang TAISUN. Cheng Yujin has no reason to pave the way for the crown princess, but she makes a fuss for herself.Cheng Yujin said mildly, "of course, it's just my own idea. Small family and deep wall courtyard are different, whether it is a scholarly family or a noble family, family property is accumulated from generation to generation, the most important thing is stability. It's enough not to ask for the future generations to honor their ancestors, but to keep their foundation. Therefore, when choosing successors, we need to be prudent and Orthodox, so it's most appropriate to have the eldest son. But if it's higher I don't understand because I have limited knowledge. "

No matter which son Cheng Yuanjing chooses as her successor in the future, she will not express her opinion. Cheng Yujin didn't want to step in and didn't dare. Cheng Yujin doesn't know if Cheng Yuanjing has heard it or not. She carefully observes his expression. As a result, Cheng Yuanjing nods her head, with a calculating posture: "I understand."

Cheng Yujin was startled. What did he understand? She didn't mean that!

When Cheng Yuanjing heard Cheng Yujin's most complete criteria for choosing a mate, he had an idea in his heart. He himself is the eldest son. Although the crown prince's position is in danger, the most powerful way for him to go further is to adhere to the orthodoxy of etiquette and law, and to adhere to the inheritance of the eldest son. In other words, his future eldest son must come from the main family, and at birth, it is suggested that he is the successor, so as to strengthen Cheng Yuanjing's own competitiveness.

Cheng Yuanjing thinks that the core interests of Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing are completely consistent, and they are very suitable for marriage. He was very satisfied with the result. He stood up contentedly and said, "you can have a rest. Don't worry about things outside. I'll go first

Cheng Yujin has no choice but to send Cheng Yuanjing out. She wants to ask Cheng Yuanjing what she just said, but she doesn't know how to say it. Finally, Cheng Yujin looks at Cheng Yuanjing's back and sighs.

Forsythia followed, watching the girl looking at the back of the ninth master. She didn't move for a long time. She frowned and asked, "big girl?"

Cheng Yujin looked back and said, "I'm ok. Go back first."

Cheng Yumo can be regarded as a high-ranking man. He not only married as the second daughter of the declining Marquis's house, but also married a new noble Marquis Jingyong, who was born and cared for by the Emperor himself. Cheng Yumo's marriage, no matter how you look at it, has made a lot of money.

The wedding is very lively in the Huo family, full of high-ranking friends and guests. Many high-ranking officials come to the wedding banquet in person in the face of Huo Changyuan. However, just because the Huo family is busy doesn't mean the Cheng family is the same.

Cheng Yumo got married in hot filial piety. Although he said that he would abide by his elders' wishes, many people taboo it. People who are closer to each other have filial piety and are unwilling to attend. Those who are more noble can go to the Huo family for dinner. There is no need to get involved in the reputation of Rexiao's marriage. So on the day of Cheng Yumo's marriage, few people come to the Cheng family to send them off.

Many sisters who had a good time in the boudoir didn't want to come. They made excuses to say that it was inconvenient to travel, and only sent gifts. It's nothing to be polite to one person, but it's very sad for a group of people.

On the wedding day, there was no big deal for the female guests. Cheng Yujin said that she was filial and didn't come forward to entertain the female guests, so the wedding banquet was even colder. Cheng Yumo had been looking forward to the wedding for two generations. She became Huo Changyuan's original wife, but when she got married, the scene was not as good as that of her previous life.

Cheng Yumo can't help feeling a little lost, but she was sitting in the sedan chair, listening to the loud noise outside, and the loss quickly stopped. Cheng Yumo thinks that everything is different. She will grow old with her brother Changyuan, and there will never be another one between them. Her life in Jingyong Marquis's mansion is full of light.

When Cheng Yumo arrived at Jingyong Marquis's house, there were a lot of big things and small things. At Cheng's house, people didn't stop. After the guests leave, they have to clean up the banquet, clean up the cups and cups, check the gift list, make a book and put it into the warehouse. In a word, they are busy.

In the confusion, the day of returning to the door on the third day will soon come.

Early in the morning, Cheng Yujin sat in front of the dresser to dress up. Cheng Yujin glanced out and asked, "who's here?"

"It's the maid in the second wife's yard. She reminds the girl to go out early today, and the second girl will come back later."

Du Ruo heard it and poked Forsythia: "are you still the second girl? It's time to call her second aunt. "

He suddenly changed his mind. Cheng Yujin didn't express her opinion. She looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly said, "change your face. Don't use the red one."

Forsythia a Zheng: "but, today is the second aunt's great joy, the girl dressed plain, hair ornaments can't be more festive?"

"She is a newlyweds, clothes naturally red and purple, if I wear red again, will not be suppressed by her? I want to wear plain clothes. If I can't surpass her in color, I'll avoid it completely and change the scene. "

Forsythia a little understand, quickly cooperate with Du Ruo, for Cheng Yujin unload hair ornaments, re select hairpin ring. A moment later, Cheng Yujin looks at her new self and is satisfied. Where Cheng Yujin is, other people won't be the first. No matter where she is, she wants to be the brightest person in the audience.

Miss Cheng's desire to win is so strong.
