Chapter 22：

The elders were talking a lot, and Shao Shang, who was the subject of the topic, stood still, facing Ah Li’s hesitant words, Cheng Yong’s desire to speak, and even Mrs. Xiao’s complicated expression, she took all the responsibility I haven't seen it, whether it's a daily greeting or a meal in the same room, even if it is pretended, it must be pretended.

To put it arrogantly, from the day her parents divorced, the little sister's reserve - the prodigal son returned to study hard - the key high school - the famous university, directly scaring the eight wives in the silly town, this She has always been the topic queen all the way down.

No one talks about mediocrity! Like the text message girl in her dormitory, she is said to be the first college student in her village since the founding of the People's Republic of China. She was shocked by the five village party secretaries within a hundred miles. Back then, she was sent out by beating gongs and drums, waving colorful flags and wearing red silk flowers and sending them out of the village gate! In contrast, her appearance on the day she left the town was extremely weak, and it didn't match Yu Zhen's nouveau riche name at all!

—“Clover, is my cousin still crying at night these few days?”

Shao Shang rubbed his sore wrists. After winning Cheng Yong's calligraphy, Ah Li's enthusiasm for urging her to practice calligraphy was unstoppable.

The girl named alfalfa was helping Qiaoguo set up the food table for the young businessman, and the beautiful melon seeds had a smile on their face: "They have been with our daughter for more than ten years, if the daughter treats them She left without moving, so people didn't say she was too cold? Besides, she's been crying for three nights, so it should be fine... Oh, there are roasted quails today. The injury is getting better, yesterday our young lady got a jar of ointment and asked me to bring it to Sister Lianfang."

Shao Shang smiled and looked at the girl in front of him.

Alfalfa came to the door the next day after the book case turmoil, both paying gifts and defending Cheng Hao. After that, she came to sit for a while every day. Posing smiling. Sometimes I help out with some work, sometimes I accompany me to talk, tell a little about Cheng Cha's past in Ge's family, tell some interesting anecdotes about her hometown, tell how difficult it is to tell Cheng Cha, and occasionally compliment Shaoshang and the maids.

The words are decent, but they are also diligent and straightforward. In a few days, even Alime can't hold his face - in the end, he can't reach out and hit the smiling person.

The little businessman thought, it seems that the Ge family sent not all the idiots.

"Fourth Niangzi, don't be angry with our daughter-in-law, you don't know, our mother Fu, relying on raising the daughter-in-law for more than ten years, often claims to be the daughter-in-law's half-mother in the village. Big. The lady of the Ge family didn't want her to come to our house with the young master, but our general has been winning battles and receiving awards all these years. No one in the village knows how she is willing to give up this wealth! She will come crying and shouting, Ge The family is benevolent, so I have to agree. The calamus is almost the same..."

When Cheng Cha was first sent over, the Ge family thought that the Ge family would send someone to pick them up in three to five years, so they hurriedly looked for Mother Fu and a few maids and didn't think about it. change. Unexpectedly, after a year, the Ge family discovered that the Ge family was so cruel and had no plans to take back their daughter. Aunt Ge decided to raise Cheng Cha as her own daughter. The man, Alfalfa was chosen at this time.

"The girl was nine years old at that time, and the calamus had been with the girl for many more years than us, and the friendship was naturally different."

Cheng Cha's situation in the Ge family is very delicate. It stands to reason that she is not the daughter of the Ge family, and belongs to her biological mother. However, as Cheng Shi became more and more developed, and good news came from the village from time to time, all the Ge family members became more and more respectful to Cheng Cha.

After giving birth, her food and clothing were not as refined as Cheng Cha's.

In particular, Aunt Ge knew that she was getting old and frail, and she was afraid that she would not be able to take care of herself comprehensively, so she let several daughters-in-law and nieces neglect Cheng Cha, so she intentionally or unintentionally condone the consistent behavior of Fu mother and maid Domineering behavior.

Later, Mrs. Xiao sent a letter to the Ge family asking for Cheng Hao, saying 'My wife has troubled her relatives for many years, and the foolish couple will return soon', and the Ge family reluctantly returned the girl. Unexpectedly, after returning to Cheng Mansion, Ge Shi did not give them face. They were slightly frustrated for several months. Fortunately, after Cheng Shi and his wife came back, Mrs. Xiao took care of Cheng Cha in every possible way, so they returned to their old ways.

In the final analysis, Mother Fu and Changpu are not evil, otherwise Aunt Ge would not let them stay by Cheng She's side, but she was used to the C position for more than ten years.

"I said to our young lady, not only should you not be angry and sad, but also thank the adults and the lady for helping you remove these two silverfish, they are for your own good. Otherwise, I will let you deal with it yourself. Should I continue to follow you and then cause trouble for you? Our young lady has listened to it, and is very sorry for indulging her servants. But she is shy by nature, and these words can only be said by the servants, and I hope you don't talk to her. It's good to have a rift."

Alfalfa said very frankly, in her opinion, Changpu and the others are really stupid. According to Mrs. Xiao's love for Cheng Cha, Cheng Cha will definitely marry into the family of a prince in the future. Going to the next level, the needle, thread and brain are even more contentious.

"I also said, I also have to thank the adults and the lady, or the maid who came after me will one day take the place of the calamus! Ouch, thank God. The lady listened, You are chasing me and want to hit me!" Alfalfa frowned and covered her shoulders with a smile, "...I was beaten several times, but it didn't hurt. If I knew that our young lady was so weak, I wouldn't run away, I ran away in vain. Strong feet."

Qiaoguo and several maids couldn't laugh, and Alime shook her head helplessly. Shaoshang raised his eyebrows: an atypical receptive personality, at least this cousin knows how to take care of his father, brother and housekeeper.

But the master is in the folk. After Alfalfa's constant pleas and bribes, apart from the lotus house where she was still resting her hips, she no longer held any grudges here and there. Based on Clover's fighting power, it is only a matter of time before the lotus room is slowed down by her.

Aunt Ge did have two brushes. Speaking of which, why didn't she reincarnate into Cheng Cha? It would save a lot of trouble.

However, since the quarrel that day, Mrs. Xiao seems to be a lot discouraged, and she no longer reprimands and restrains herself from time to time. Now that the goal has been achieved, the young businessman is also happy to be good-natured for a while...

A long and wide street for the subjects to watch the lanterns and play. After dinner, except for the runny noses of the three brothers and sisters who were left at home, the Cheng family went out to play.

Cheng Shi was afraid that today's light market would be too crowded, so he first transported the female family members to the street with a few huge security cars, and then surrounded them with family guards before they could travel.

She straightened her wrinkled dress.

Mrs. Xiao looked displeased and then looked at Cheng Cha, only to see that she was wearing a deep robe of vermilion brocade with three windings, with three finger-width golden embroidery on the edge. Satin, how bright.

—She obviously prepared the same dress accessories for the two sisters, so that they can wear them today. Who knew that her unconcerned daughter pretended to be stupid, but instead put on a cyan and blue two-circle skirt and a snow-colored pleated inner skirt as a gift from the Sang family.

When it is really childish, weak and soft, I still feel pity.

It took less than ten breaths to get out of the car, and several teenagers in Chinese clothes who passed by glanced over to take a peek. Cheng Shi walked at the front with his head held high, deliberately pretending not to see it, and feeling smug in his heart. Husband and wife for many years, how Mrs. Xiao did not know what her husband was thinking, she couldn't help shaking her head in her heart. Yes, the daughter is beautiful, and the parents have a face.

At that time, people advocated the beauty of simplicity and atmosphere. This street is wide and open, and the narrowest part is also 20 feet wide. On both sides, there are 50 steps on each side with a person-high torch, which is filled with copper plates more than 1 feet wide. Filled with kerosene, it was elevated, and a raging fire was ignited, making this winter night as noisy as day.

Cheng Shi stared at the copper kerosene pot for a long time, then muttered, "...Your Majesty is very expensive this time." The amount of kerosene added up in one street is not small. 's consumption.

Shao Shang Bai Nen's little ears twitched, and he hurriedly asked, "Father, is your Majesty very frugal?"

Arrogant!" This is not good or that, this old lady is really annoying, is it because the ancestors have been the eighteenth generation dean!

Cheng Shi shrugged, he never disagreed with his wife in front of everyone, he planned to go back and talk to his daughter, and then pulled Cheng Shi to the front of the group to make Cheng mother happy.

Mrs. Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "There are some things, go back and ask your brother to tell you."

Shao Shang was surprised, the three brothers were happy, Cheng Song and Cheng Shao Gong were even more delighted, they all thought that it would be great if their mother and sister could reconcile. Before they could speak, Mrs. Xiao said, "Yong'er, tell me." Then she said to the second and third sons, "You two shut up, listen to your nonsense, it's better not to know anything." Cheng Song and Cheng Shao Gong Bie said with a smile.

Mrs. Xiao turned her head again and said softly: "Chengcha, you also go. In the future, when you communicate at the feet of the emperor, you should listen to what should be taboo and what should be avoided." Happily bowed down.

Since Cheng Yong, the joy of the three brothers was inexplicably cut in half.

Standing behind, Mrs Sang shook his head silently: Sure enough, no one is perfect, a heroic female middle school hero like Xiao Yuanyi, who is so careless and conceited when dealing with children.

Cage lanterns and revolving lanterns hang most on the buildings on both sides of the street.

Cage lanterns are directly lit with blazing fireworks in a circular lamp frame of the size of a hug. , Tonight, in order to make the lights bright and eye-catching, many landlords and shops will hang several huge cage lanterns into several strings and hang them outside the facade.

Most of the revolving lanterns are cylindrical, the lamp oil inside is burning, and when the heat rises, the movable lamp stand outside turns up, and I see the pattern drawn on the lamp skin slowly floating and wandering, even wonderful.

Shao Shang was dizzying, his black and white eyes were wide open, one lamp after another, some soldiers came home to welcome their wives, some children were naughty and playful, some warriors Bend bows to shoot beasts, and even fish and birds meet head-to-head.

Seeing that her daughter described her as childish and cute, Cheng Shi proudly asked to buy a few more lamps for her to go home and play slowly. Who knew Shaoshang shook his head, only had one, and said, "I'll make it myself when I go home, and make it more beautiful."

Practice hands.

The lamp market not only has lamps, but also sells silk, silk and silk jewelry and snacks, and even books—

A man dressed as a scholar was tearfully telling Cheng Yong and Cheng Shaogong the story of 'A good scholar was persecuted by the emperor's minions until his family was destroyed, and now he has to sell the books in his home'.

Cheng Song held the two children of Zhuo with his left and right hands, and watched in front of a hunter's booth. It is said that the tendons of the tiger were drawn from the body of the hanging eye tiger and used to make bowstrings. enemy.

Mrs. Xiao and Cheng Cheng were walking and laughing, encouraging him to read and not worry, Cheng Cha smiled and accompanied him.

Cheng Zhi saw that the silk flowers in a shop were novel and wild, so he bought one for Sang's hairpin. , but Cheng's mother refused, insisting that the flowers on Sang's head were more beautiful. The Sang family was also bad. She deliberately didn't take the initiative to say that she would give up the silk flowers to Cheng's mother. She just smiled and watched, while Cheng Zhi was in a hurry.

Cheng Shi shook his beard and shook his head, he couldn't learn from him, bought silk flowers and hid them in his arms before going home and wearing them to his wife.

Because she was addicted to looking at the lights, Shao Shang dragged behind the Cheng family and his group, followed by two maids and three servants. She didn't worry about safety, just walked slowly. Then a bamboo hydrangea rolled slowly to her feet.
