Cheng Yumo and Cheng Min have both come back to their mother's home. It happens that Cheng Yuanjing is also back today. It's rare for Cheng's family to get together like this. It's more lively than New Year's Eve. Mrs. Cheng was very happy to see the room full of people. They had a reunion dinner.
People who are drunk and full, hot and sleepy are lazy. Old lady Cheng goes to bed inside, and Xu Nianchun is also sent to bed by Cheng min. Cheng Min places Xu Nianchun in the Bi gauze cabinet, closes the door for her daughter, and then walks out quietly.
There are scattered people sitting in the main room. Now there are no elders and children to disturb them. They are relaxed and have a better chat. Xu Erye, Cheng Yuanhan and Huo Changyuan sit in the main hall and talk about the affairs in the court hall. Cheng Yumo, led by Ruan, sits on the Tongkang in the second room and talks about the trivia of these days.
Cheng Min rounds the five main rooms and finds that many people are missing. Cheng Yumo saw Cheng Min go around, as if looking for someone. He asked, "aunt, are you looking for the second cousin?"
Cheng Min shook his head and sat on the Kang, saying, "it's not that big. What can I worry about. I'm looking for Yujin. She came back when she was eating. I went to the Bi gauze cupboard to make bedding for Nianchun. After a while, I didn't notice. She disappeared again. "
Cheng Yu Mo's smile faded and said, "my aunt is looking for my elder sister. My elder sister must be with my elder sister now because my uncle has just come back."
"Oh, really?" Cheng Min hesitated, "when did Jin's sister and Jiulang get to know each other like this?"
The servant girl then said, "I don't know what happened to my aunt. This year, the eldest girl and the ninth master were very close to each other. When the eldest master was still alive, she asked the eldest girl to embroider a picture of the ninth master. My aunt should know that it was the one sent to the palace."
Cheng Min nodded: "I know that."
"That's it. For this pair of embroidery, the eldest girl and the ninth master learned calligraphy for a month or two. After the screen was embroidered, the eldest girl often went to the ninth master's courtyard to borrow books and ask for calligraphy. Now she must be there too."
Cheng Min marvels that she can't go back to her mother's house several times a year. She doesn't know the recent situation of the Marquis's house in Yichun. In the past, Cheng Yujin was always with Mrs. Cheng. This time, she didn't see it. Then she realized that Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing were close.
Cheng Yumo didn't know what to think of. He raised his hand and covered his mouth with a handkerchief. He didn't mean to say: "not only that, today we are talking, but suddenly we can't find our elder sister. Uncle Jiu went out to look for her. Since Jiushu came back, the elder sister seldom stayed with others, basically only followed Jiushu. They always go in and out together. I seldom go back to my mother's home, but I haven't talked to my sister for a long time. Maybe Jiushu is highly educated, and big sister is too lazy to pay attention to us. "
Ruan's side should be and: "yes, even people gossip, they also sit alone outside, never get together with everyone. I don't know. I thought they were one. "
Cheng Min takes a look at Cheng Yumo. Cheng Yumo's eyes hang down. He can't see any change in his white and delicate face. Cheng Min said nothing and said with a smile: "when a child is old, he always has his own ideas. Besides, the big girl is precocious and sensible since she was a child. Nianchun is just like the monkey. She already knows how to help her sister-in-law. Let her and Nianchun sit together, it is estimated that there is no common topic. What we are talking about is not suitable for a girl's family. If it is not for Jiulang, I'm afraid she doesn't even have a speaker. Fortunately, Jiulang came back. Jiulang is close to her age, but has more experience than her. I'm afraid these two people have something to talk about. I'm old and can't keep up with the young people. Let them talk about it by themselves. "
Cheng Yumo's face was flat. He pulled the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a stiff smile, "what aunt said is true. I didn't pay attention to the situation of my eldest sister. "
Cheng Min laughs amiably and says some good things to get the topic out of the way. Cheng Yumo and Ruan talk about the Huo family. Cheng Min sighs deeply when she looks at her two nieces who were once innocent and delicate, saying three words to the Huo family.
The children are growing up. Cheng Yumo, who was once timid and hid behind the adults, will turn around and give his sister eyedrops. Cheng Min sighs very much. She doesn't mean that Cheng Yumo's way of doing things is wrong, but it's true that she feels bad.
They are twins. One is adopted and the other is left by Ruan's side. For various reasons, they are always put together for comparison. In the first 15 years, Cheng Yujin seized the public's attention with an absolute advantage. Cheng Min felt sorry for Cheng Yujin's adoption, and always couldn't help being partial to her. Moreover, Cheng Yujin did a good job.
Cheng Min thought that the growth of this period of sister flower was very ideal. Her sister was quiet and dignified, and her sister was naive and lively. She also loved each other and didn't fight like other people.
But the fact gives Cheng Min a painful blow. She thinks that her sisters watching each other is just her fantasy. The fate of the twin sisters diverged at the age of 14. In the end, Cheng Yumo got married in gaomen. On the contrary, Cheng Yujin, who was highly expected by the public, withdrew from her marriage and could not find a good husband. After only four months of marriage to the Huo family, Cheng Yumo secretly instructs the elder sister to seek superiority from her elder sister and snatch the family's approval of her elder sister.
It's common for children to compete for family resources and attention, but when these things happen at home, Cheng Min's mood is a little complicated. It's only four months. In the future, Cheng Yumo will get a firm foothold in the Huo family and give birth to her eldest son. However, because Cheng Yujin can't get a good marriage or even get engaged, the gap between the two sisters is getting bigger and bigger?Cheng Min can't say sigh, she can't bear to let Cheng Yujin face these, but think of his family that devil, or nothing to say.
Xu Zhixian doesn't know what happened. Some time ago, his spirit didn't belong to him. As a mother, Cheng Min can roughly see what his son thinks. She thought that the marriage she had put down had a turn for the better, but not long after that, Xu Zhixian went out for a trip and went home looking depressed. Cheng Min mentioned Cheng Yujin again. Xu Zhixian just shook his head and said nothing.
Cheng Min can see that Xu Zhixian really refuses this time, but no matter how she asks, Xu Zhixian refuses to say why. In addition to a long sigh, Cheng Min has no way to persuade him.
Kids, they've grown up.
Cheng Min sighs in her heart, and suddenly hears Cheng Yumo call her. Cheng Min looked back and saw that Cheng Yumo was wearing a gorgeous dress, just like the most common young granny in Beijing. She said with a gentle smile, "aunt, what do you think? I called you several times, but I didn't respond."
Seeing Cheng Yumo's expression, Cheng Min's inexplicable loss is even heavier. After all, she was the second wife of the government. She immediately adjusted her expression and said with a smile, "I was thinking about your second cousin, the devil. I didn't notice the outside. Mo'er, what did you say just now? "
Cheng Yumo pursed his lips, and a delicate little pear vortex appeared on his cheek: "my mother and I are talking about the Lantern Festival of Shangyuan. It's rare for me to have a curfew on the streets of Beijing during the Sanyuan holiday. But there are few people in Jingyong Marquis's house, and my mother-in-law is too lazy to go out. I'm the only one to watch the lights. It's no fun to have fewer people, so I thought, why don't I go with my aunt. I know that there are so many people in my family's mansion. How can we go together to see the prosperity of our country? "
Cheng Min was first surprised, then overjoyed. Huo Changyuan is very popular now, and the government of Changguo has been keeping up all these years, relying on the empress in the palace to support the appearance. It's hard to find the right time to climb up and down the Jingguo mansion.
Of course, Cheng Min agrees. Cheng Yumo is her niece. The way Cheng Min brings to Xu laotaijun undoubtedly gives Cheng Min a big face.
Cheng Min is vaguely aware that Cheng Yumo is intentional. After all, Cheng Min has always preferred Cheng Yujin, a sensible person. This kind of thing can't be covered up. Cheng Yumo says this now because he intends to compete with Cheng Yujin and tell Cheng Min that he has mistaken the person these years.
Cheng Min hopes very much that she is wrong and misunderstands Cheng Yumo. But who makes facts better than people? It's an indisputable fact that Cheng Yumo's wife is more expensive than her husband.
Cheng Min had to bow her head to her second niece. She looked at Ruan and asked, "of course, we are very happy to be able to watch the lights with Hou Fu. However, Mo'er, it's rare for you to see your second sister-in-law. Don't you go with her? "
Ruan sighed and then said, "I thought so, but my mother said earlier that she had her own arrangements for the Lantern Festival, so we should not accept them at will. After all, Mo'er is a member of the Huo family. I can't go against my mother's wishes. I can only ask my aunt to take care of Mo'er. "
Cheng Min naturally responds. When we talk about the women's day, I'm interested in discussing it. Not only Cheng Min and Cheng Yumo, but also all the women in the capital, whether unmarried or married, noble ladies or ordinary people, are looking forward to Shangyuan Festival.
There is no curfew on the third day of Shangyuan Festival. The emperor and the people celebrate together. Everyone goes to the street to see the lights. The especially strict defense for men and women is also loose now. There was no fence or barrier. The young ladies and gentlemen were in groups. When they met each other on the road, they were smiling.
In other words, Shangyuan day is Valentine's day.
At the time of the thirteenth, the servant girls in the yard began to make a commotion. At the time of the fifteenth, the servant girls all changed into new clothes and were very happy. Du Ruo and forsythia make great efforts to dress Cheng Yujin as a celestial being. Today is a rare time of the year without any restrictions. Their eldest daughter must be gorgeous and startled to capture the future uncle's heart. It's better to decide the marriage as soon as spring begins.
Cheng Yujin, on the contrary, is not very enthusiastic. She has been secretly worrying about the affairs of CAI's government these days. Cheng Yuanjing said that the matter was left to him to solve, and then nothing happened. Cheng Yujin is just scratching her heart and lungs. She especially wants to know how Cheng Yuanjing's so-called solution is?
In the bustle, it was getting dark. The Marquis's residence of Yichun had dinner early this morning. Then Princess Qingfu and Ruan, with their servant girls and younger generation, took a bus to watch the lights outside.
In fact, Cheng Yujin is the only unmarried woman in the Cheng family. As soon as Cheng Yujin thought of Princess Qingfu and Ruan's eyes staring at her alone, she felt that she had no love in her life and had no interest at all.
However, this is more than that. As soon as she got out of the car, she didn't take two steps. She saw Princess Qingfu looking around, and then she waved to a place in surprise.
Cheng Yujin's face cooled as soon as she saw the sign on the other side's carriage.
It's the government of CAI again. Don't think about it. It must be Mrs. Cheng's work.
In fact, Mrs. Zhai had already seen the coach of the Marquis's house in Yichun, but she turned her face and pretended not to see it. Now Princess Qingfu waved to her directly. Mrs. Zhai could not avoid it any longer, so she had to step forward."Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng Er, it's a coincidence that we met here. I didn't see the crowd just now. "
When Zhai er's wife said this, Princess Qingfu didn't do it. He came forward to speak warmly. Ruan's eyes brightened when he saw the state of CAI's mansion, and immediately followed him to greet him.
Only Cheng Yujin, still standing in the same place, looked coldly at the group in front.
Mrs. Zhai said she was happy, but she sighed all the time. She casually raised her eyes and saw Cheng Yujin standing not far away, gazing at her quietly with all the lights in the city.
Zhai er's heart suddenly burst. Then she thought of her mother-in-law's explanation before going out, which made her even more worried.
When she learned that her mother-in-law had taken a fancy to the eldest lady of the Marquis's residence in Yichun and wanted to marry her back to her eldest brother as a continuation, Mrs. Zhai was reluctant. But after all, Cai's government is run by his mother-in-law and elder brother. What right does Zhai's daughter-in-law have to oppose? She could only cross her face and listen to her mother-in-law and brother-in-law talk about marrying a woman.
It's just a continuation. It's more grand to listen to their arrangement than the original wife! Zhai er's wife was very angry. When she thought that the new country's husband and wife would hand over the housekeeper's right as soon as they passed by, she was even more distressed. Mrs. Zhai inquired about Miss Cheng's comments in private. When many of them mentioned her, they all praised her. All the comments were generous and decent, smart and capable.
When Mrs. Zhai listened, she was even more worried.
Mrs. Zhai thought it was enough to let a little girl ride on her head. I didn't expect that. It's not over.
The eldest brother came back from the outside one day, and his face was suddenly gloomy. All the women in the house were startled. His mother-in-law immediately asked. Zhai Yanlin just shook his head and said nothing. Zhai Yanlin is the God of CAI's mansion. His face is not right, and all the women in the mansion are worried.
Zhai's second wife didn't know what happened. She only knew that Zhai had a conversation with her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law's face was extremely complicated after she came out. Then, her mother-in-law let Mrs. Zhai go out, and politely refused the Cheng family's marriage while there were too many people in Shangyuan Festival.
It's not a problem to go out on the Shangyuan Festival. The government of the state of CAI has already made an appointment with the Cheng family. However, it's understandable to withdraw from marriage. What does politeness mean?
Zhai er's mouth was bitter, especially when she was warmly pulled by Princess Qingfu. Her mouth was full of intimate words about becoming a family, which made her even more headache.
Zhai er's wife followed Princess Qingfu to see five or six lamp stalls. Princess Qingfu was full of excitement that her daughter wanted to climb up to Cai Guofu's mansion. Mrs. Zhai was thinking about something in her heart. She didn't want to watch the light. Zhai er's mind was not her own. After a while, she made up her mind and said, "Mrs. Cheng, I have something to say to you."
Princess Qingfu said with a smile: "how can the second wife be so polite? If you have anything to say, just say it."
Mrs. Zhai sighed. She glanced at Cheng Yujin. Although she didn't say it clearly, Princess Qingfu understood. Qingfu cleared his throat and said to Cheng Yujin, "Miss, I have something to say with Mrs. Zhai. Go to the next stall and have a look at the light first."
Cheng Yujin's eyes quietly swept over Princess Qingfu and Mrs. Zhai. Seeing that, Mrs. Zhai held her breath. Fortunately, Cheng Yujin didn't ask much. She nodded her head and left.
Zhai er's wife was relieved. It's a knife to shrink her head and it's a knife to stretch her head. Mrs. Zhai's heart goes down and talks to Princess Qingfu about her mother-in-law.
At this time, Cheng Yujin was standing in front of another lamp stand across the street. Although her eyes were looking at the lamp, there was no joy in her expression.
The stall owner was scared by Cheng Yujin. He came forward with a smile and asked, "Miss, which lamp do you like? Take down the small one for you? "
Where is Cheng Yujin looking at the light? She knows what the stall owner means and doesn't want to stand here to block other people's business. She took Du Ruo and forsythia two steps, and suddenly came a suspicious voice: "Miss Cheng?"
Cheng Yujin stopped and turned around. The other party found that Cheng Yujin had a reaction and pushed away the crowd excitedly: "it's really you. I thought I was wrong."
Cheng Yujin was stunned for a long time, but she couldn't say whether it was the will of heaven or man.
"Lin "Editing?"
