Chapter 75

This new year, Cheng Yujin was calm and indifferent. She watched the firecrackers set up in Yichun Marquis's mansion. The crackling sound of firecrackers was deafening. Cheng enbao was wrapped by Princess Qingfu on the third floor inside and the third floor outside. She stood in the yard shouting and directing the boys to set off firecrackers.

The colorful firecrackers shot up into the sky and reflected the yard from time to time. Everyone hid in the corridor and talked pleasantly, pointing to the fireworks outside. It's hard to relax in the new year. All the servant girls in Yichun Marquis's mansion have a holiday. Now they are crowding around on the corridor, chatting. Even Mrs. Cheng, who has always been superior, is supported by the servant girls to watch the fireworks. Mrs. Cheng looked at her grandchildren running around in the yard. She was full of vitality and laughed happily.

Princess Qingfu and Ruan all crowded to Mrs. Cheng's side. One moment they told the old lady to watch out for the fireworks, and the other told her to watch out for the debris. The children in red were running around on the ground, which made the adults laugh from time to time. Cheng Yujin looks at the scene from a distance. She tells her rationally that she should go over and say lucky words with Mrs. Cheng. However, after a long time, Cheng Yujin stands still and looks at Qingfu, Mrs. Cheng and others indifferently.

In this season, they are more like a family. Cheng Yujin seems to be an outsider with nowhere to put, separated from everything. No matter where she goes, the laughter will stop. Although people warmly greet her, they always carry it on their faces. Only when she leaves, can they breathe a sigh of relief and feel at ease.

Cheng Yujin can't get into it. In fact, Cheng Yujin doesn't want to get into it at all. There seems to be an invisible barrier separating her from everything. Cheng Yujin looked at it for a while, but she couldn't feel happy, so she took advantage of the cover of the night and left quietly.

She went back to her room. Today's new year's Eve, all the girls went outside to watch the firecrackers. The normally well regulated yard now seems empty. Cheng Yujin sat by the window. The sound of laughter outside passed through many doors. When it reached her, it was very vague. Even the sound of firecrackers was much weaker.

Only the smell of fire and saltpetre still reminds us of all this.

Cheng Yujin stared at the outside, but couldn't help being distracted. On New Year's Eve, the family got together, but she didn't know where her home was. Both Princess Qingfu and Ruan are celebrating the new year with their children. Cheng Yujin used to disturb their reunion. Cheng Yujin was very interested and didn't move forward at all.

Both Dafang and Erfang have no place for her. Cheng Yujin doesn't know where else she can go. In the past, Cheng Yuanjing was left alone. She went to talk to Cheng Yuanjing, but she didn't seem depressed. Now that Cheng Yuanjing is away, Cheng Yujin finds that she is redundant everywhere.

It seems that there is no place for her to live.

It's dark, but Cheng Yujin can't sleep. She's going to old lady Cheng's house to celebrate the new year. Now she can't sleep. At this time, everyone was crowded outside to set off fireworks. Cheng Yujin felt that it was noisy, so she had to sit in the room and wait for the time to pass and the new year to come.

Looking at the world outside the window, she couldn't help thinking, where is Cheng Yuanjing at this time?

After returning from Xiangji temple, Cheng Yujin didn't see Yuanjing much. When they asked the servants, they only knew vaguely that Jiu Ye was going to visit friends outside, but they did not know where to visit friends, what friends to visit, and how long it would take to come back. Two days ago, Cheng Yujin heard that Cheng Yuanjing came back once in the middle of the night, but in the early morning, she went out again.

I want to come back to pick up something.

Cheng Yuanjing's position in Yichun Marquis's mansion is also very awkward. The Cheng family dare not neglect this young and high ranking nine childe, but because of Mrs. Cheng, they dare not get close to him, so they can only give a confession not far away, and no one can get close to him. This year, Cheng Yuanjing is not here. In fact, everyone in the Cheng family is relieved. Old lady Cheng will be in a better mood if she doesn't see Cheng Yuanjing on a good day. They can also have a good year.

This evening, only Cheng Yujin looked around again and again to confirm that Cheng Yuanjing had not come back. Although she didn't say it, there was always a fluke voice in her heart. Maybe, Cheng Yuanjing was just too busy to get away from her. When she was finished, she would come back.

But for her deep loss, Cheng Yujin didn't expect that she would expect Cheng Yuanjing like this.

With a long sigh, she slowly leaned back in her chair and was absorbed in her thoughts. Yes, Cheng Yuanjing doesn't have the surname of Cheng. He really doesn't have to go back to his family for the Spring Festival. On New Year's Eve, however, there was also a big banquet in the palace. At the moment, the palace was in full swing. The emperor, empress Yang and Empress Dowager Yang, together with many courtiers and relatives, bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. I'm afraid Cheng Yuanjing can't show up and have a holiday with his real relatives.

Cheng Yujin sighs that he is the Grand Prince and has nowhere to go. After thinking about it, Cheng Yujin laughs at herself. She is really worried about the country and the people. Cheng Yuanjing is the crown prince. Even if it's not convenient to show up, some people accompany him for the holidays. How dare she love others?

With these thoughts, it's better to think about your own way.

Thanks to Zhai Yanlin's backwardness, Cheng Yujin is now in a dilemma. Mrs. Cheng is very satisfied with the government of CAI. When Cheng Min married Gao, she only married the second son of Qing government. She is not the wife of the family, but it is enough to make Mrs. Cheng proud. Now, my granddaughter has a chance to be the head lady of the more powerful and high-ranking Cai government. How could Mrs. Cheng not like it?As for Zhai Yanlin's wife and concubine, Cheng Yujin can only be a stepmother, which Mrs. Cheng doesn't care at all. Anyway, the old lady of Cai Guo is dead. What's the fight with the dead? Even the fact that Zhai Yanlin already has a son should not be taken seriously by Mrs. Cheng.

In Mrs. Cheng's words, it's man-made. Now Zhai Yanlin is determined to pass the title to Zhai Qing, but what about in the future? What if the eldest son is ruined and the second son is especially outstanding? What's more, Zhai Qing can't live to be an adult?

There are too many variables in the future. These are all operational spaces. Mrs. Cheng is very reassured about Cheng Yujin. She feels that as long as Cheng Yujin crosses the threshold, the future is not a problem.

Cheng Yujin will solve the problem without any blood.

As for the granddaughter in such a difficult start, full of malicious environment, how well This is not in Mrs. Cheng's consideration. In Mrs. Cheng's opinion, which bride doesn't suffer? Although Cheng Yumo married well, she was also made difficult by her mean mother-in-law. It's normal for Cheng Yujin to be a stepmother.

Cheng Yujin laughs sarcastically when she thinks of this. Old lady Cheng and Zhai Yanlin really plan one by one. Zhai Yanlin clearly knows that he can't provide anything, but he still wants to force her to marry as a free housekeeper and adoptive mother, and Mrs. Cheng is even more so. No matter whether her granddaughter is alive or dead, she secretly instructs her granddaughter to kill or even kill her original son, in an attempt to do nothing and enjoy the benefits of a fisherman.

These two people, who have no other abilities, are very thoughtful.

Because Cheng Yujin has no right to speak, they are unscrupulous. They are selfish to the extreme, but they have to pull the skin of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and faith. Unfortunately, Cheng Yujin is not a selfless master. If you want to make a deal with her, you have to follow her rules.

I can't afford chips. I don't want to go to a gambling table. What Mrs. Cheng and Zhai Yanlin think is beautiful. Will Cheng Yujin really do what they think?

Dream.

Cheng Yujin opened her eyes and made the most adventurous decision in her life on the noisy New Year's Eve.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger's son. She had planned to do it slowly. She had better manage some pre marriage relationship with Lin Qingyuan, but now, she has no time.

On New Year's Eve, when it was time for the new year, the whole family gathered around Mrs. Cheng and said good luck without money. Old lady Cheng couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and Cheng Yujin also appeared in Shouan hall quietly, as if the absence just now didn't exist.

She also had a warm smile on her face. She was polite to her grandmother and parents.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is particularly lively. On the second day of the lunar new year, the married aunt goes back to her mother's home, and the Houfu in Yichun is even more lively.

In the past, only Cheng Min returned to his mother's home. This year, there is another Cheng Yumo. Two married women come home with a car of gifts, and Cheng Min brings his children with him. Cheng Min and Cheng Yumo enter the door one after another, and the Cheng family becomes noisy.

The two sons-in-law talked to Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Yuanhan in front of them, while the family members were bustling around Shouan hall, talking about family affairs together. As soon as there are many children, they immediately appear happy. The children of the Cheng family and the cousins of the Xu family mingle with each other, making a lot of noise, and running back and forth on the ground, which is unspeakably lively.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Cheng laughed happily. Perhaps all the old people are looking forward to the prosperity of their children and grandchildren, and the snobbish old lady Cheng is no exception.

Cheng Yujin is also in Shouan hall. At this time, her position was a little embarrassed. Cheng Min and Cheng Yumo had already married. When they came back, they were aunts and grandmothers, and they wanted to be held up. Moreover, the topic of married people is totally different from that of women who have not been married. Cheng Yujin is very embarrassed to listen to Cheng Min, Cheng Yumo, Qingfu and Ruan's exchange of their subordinates and arrangement of their rooms. She doesn't know whether to avoid them or not.

But it's not right to go and hang out with cousins like Xu Nianchun. Cheng Yujin has been a nightmare for all her relatives and children for many years. She often appears as the elder sister of Cheng Yujin, who is good-looking, good at learning and good at rules. She lets her and her sisters sit together and talk in secret, which not only embarrasses Cheng Yujin, but also embarrasses Xu Nianchun and other little girls.

Today, Xu is also envious. He has always loved to play with his sisters. Now he is playing chess with Xu Nianchun in Baoxia, and Cheng en'ci and Cheng en'bei are pushing through. If Cheng Yujin avoids the field of adults and goes to find her peers, she is bound to meet Xu Zhixian.

At Cheng Yumo's wedding, Xu Zhixian expresses her heart to Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yujin is very surprised and refuses very simply. After that, they haven't met. Now they suddenly gather in the same room. It's embarrassing just to think about it.

Cheng Yujin doesn't want to see Xu Zhixian, but seeing that Cheng Min has taught Cheng Yumo the experience of managing concubines and dealing with bed climbing servant girls, Cheng Yujin really can't listen to it. She goes back to her room to pick up things and takes the servant girls with her.

Today, it is Du Ruo who follows Cheng Yujin out. Du Ruo talks less than forsythia. She carefully ties Cheng Yujin's cloak, and then quietly follows Cheng Yujin all the way. After walking for a while, Cheng Yujin received a message from the porter and immediately turned to Cheng Yuanjing's yard.

Since Cheng Yujin found that she had never met Lin Qingyuan around Cheng Yuanjing, she soon wanted to understand the reason. She didn't think she was in a hurry, and she just slowly boiled the frogs in warm water. But now that something happened to Zhai's family, Cheng Yujin immediately became alert, and as early as December, she packed the porter. Cheng Yujin has a lot of money now, so she is very generous. The porter takes the money and agrees to accept it. Once she sees Lin Qingyuan, she sends someone to remind Cheng Yujin.I didn't expect that I was so lucky today that I happened to meet you. Now that Cheng Yuanjing is not here, it's a good chance.

Cheng Yujin takes Du Ruo to stop Lin Qingyuan. Of course, she can't be found by Lin Qingyuan. Cheng Yujin, relying on her geographical advantages, deliberately made a detour and "ran into" Lin Qingyuan on a side door.

Lin Qingyuan is about to go out when Cheng Yujin comes in from the other end. Seeing Cheng Yujin, Lin Qingyuan was very surprised: "Miss Cheng? What are you doing here? "

"Editor Lin?" Cheng Yujin also pretended to be very surprised and said, "Grandma's small kitchen is busy. I went back to the yard to get some cakes, but I happened to meet you. I haven't been looking for uncle Jiu for some time. Have you been busy with business recently? "

Lin Qingyuan was stunned when he heard Cheng Yujin's words. It is obvious that he often comes to Cheng Yuanjing this winter, which is far from what Cheng Yujin said. Cheng Yujin pretends to know nothing and looks at Lin Qingyuan with a smile. Lin Qingyuan soon wanted to understand the reason and said with a smile: "yes, I've been busy recently. I haven't come to talk to Jingxing for a long time. Miss, where has he been recently? Don't you know? "

Cheng Yujin will not tell Lin Qingyuan even if she knows, not to mention she doesn't know. Cheng Yujin tilted her head to think about it, then shook her head: "I don't know. I've heard that uncle Jiu has gone to visit friends, but he seldom comes back recently. "

Lin Qingyuan sighs. As a friend of Cheng Yuanjing, he feels very complicated when he hears Cheng Yuanjing's reason of "visiting friends". He shakes his head and smiles. His eyebrows and eyes are wide. He no longer cares: "I wanted to borrow books from Jingxing. Since he's not here, I'll come back another day. "

Cheng Wanyu said with a soft smile, "why should he leave like this? I borrowed a lot of Jiu Shu's books and put them here. Brother Lin might as well name them. Maybe I have an impression. "

Cheng Yujin quietly changed her name to elder brother Lin.

Lin Qingyuan said a few names without any hope. Cheng Yujin pondered and said, "the poetry collection is with me. I have an impression of the miscellaneous talks, but I can't remember where it is. If elder brother Lin is not busy, you may as well wait in the guest room for a moment, and I'll find out the book. "

Lin Qingyuan was overjoyed and said, "thank you, Miss Cheng."

"Brother Lin, you're welcome." Cheng Yujin stepped back, avoided Lin Qingyuan's ceremony, and bent her knees to return. Cheng Yujin said with a smile: "elder brother Lin comes with me. I don't know how long it will take for the maid to come back. It's too impolite to let the number one scholar stand all the time. I just made a new cake. Brother Lin came to try it for me. "

Lin Qingyuan was in a daze. He thought it was Cheng Yujin who went back to get the book, but unexpectedly it was a servant girl. But Cheng Yujin said so. Lin Qingyuan would not refute Cheng Yujin's face. Besides, he was also vaguely excited and wanted to talk to Cheng Yujin for a while.

At this time, a group of people stopped at the side door of Yichun Marquis's house, and Cheng Yuanjing turned over from the horse. The doorman, who was playing cards with the slaves, heard the sound and ran over. He saw Cheng Yuanjing in a black cloak, covered in black and gold, and his waist was tied up by a leather belt with a width of one inch. He was tall, dignified and dignified.

At that moment, the doorman's tongue could not speak. Cheng Yuanjing's eyes swept. The doorman was dizzy and wanted to kneel down. It was so easy to straighten his tongue and said a complete sentence: "Jiuye, you are back! How was your journey? "

Cheng Yuanjing didn't have time to talk nonsense with the porter. He left the reins to the attendant and strode in: "where is the big girl? How are you these two days

The porter's legs and stomach trembled. He bowed and said, "everything is fine. Ladies and girls are very happy when we get together for the new year. Today, when my aunt comes back, the eldest girl should also be in Shouan hall, talking with the old lady. "

Cheng Yuanjing nodded and went straight to Shouan hall. He walked fast all the way, directly copied the fastest way, did not waste a minute and a second in irrelevant places.

When he arrived at Shouan hall, the woman guarding the door was stunned. After being warned by the eyes of the people behind Cheng Yuanjing, he said: "old lady, the ninth master is back."

The atmosphere of Shouan hall was quiet. After entering the door, Cheng Yuanjing didn't take off his cloak. He just glanced at the room and found that Cheng Yujin was not there.

What about Cheng Yuanjing
