The news of Cheng Yuanjing's return to Beijing somehow reached Changguo Gongfu, and within a few days, aunt Cheng Min returned with her children.
Old Marquis Cheng has three sons and one daughter. Among them, the eldest son, the second son and the eldest daughter are all from Mrs. Cheng. Old Marquis Cheng is fair to the two sons, but loves the only daughter very much.
Cheng Min grew up in brocade clothes and jade food. Like other Cheng family members, she had a good appearance, so when she reached her age, she was assigned to the Duke of Changguo. It is also an honorable person. The Marquis and Gongfu are too far apart. Marquis are running everywhere in the capital, but the Gongfu said that there are only a few of them.
The Duke of Chang's Mansion is also the food of Zhongming Dingding. It has been rich and noble for several generations. The family is mighty, and it is unknown how many subordinates there are. Cheng Min married the second son of the Duke of Chang's mansion, and is now the younger brother of Duke Chang's. Judging from the family background of Yichun Hou's mansion, it is already considered a high-ranking marriage.
Therefore, it was very lively when my aunt came back to the house, and Mrs. Cheng started talking about it a long time ago. The princess of Qingfu was always tense, for fear that something was wrong, and if she offended her aunt, she would offend her mother-in-law.
Cheng Yujin put on new clothes for meeting guests early in the morning. She wore a pair of jade red jackets with four horse-faced skirts under them. Since she was not out of the cabinet, her hair was not too gorgeous, so she wore a pair of silver and gilt lace hairpins, and the tops were inlaid with white and red jade into a butterfly play. In the shape of a flower, a crystal clear ruby is embedded in the handle. A pick is inserted at the top of the bun, the same style, but the red and white are switched. When Cheng Yujin changed into this outfit, it was really metal and jade, and she was picturesque.
Cheng Yujin went to greet her aunt. Cheng Min returned to her mother's house this time and brought back several children in her room. The girls and boys of the 13th and 14th gathered together, and the hilarious voices could be heard from far away. The maid at the door reported that "the big girl is here", Cheng Min turned around and saw the girl walking in at the door, her eyes really lit up.
Cheng Yujin came in to greet Cheng Min, her voice was not hurried or slow, and her movements when saluting were very standardized. Cheng Min was amazed when she saw the tsk tsk, she turned back and said to the county master of Qingfu: "How does the sister-in-law teach the girl, I really want to envy it. If the one in our family can be half as sensible as Sister Jin, I will live less. Happy for a few years.”
The county master of Qingfu smiled and refused, and Xu Nianchun, the comparison group in Cheng Min's mouth, snorted in dissatisfaction, and pouted: "Mother, you always kill me. If you like eldest cousin so much, just take her back to be a daughter."
Mrs. Cheng laughed when she heard it, pointed to Xu Nianchun and said to others, "Look, this is still jealous."
Cheng Min twisted Xu Nianchun angrily, and feigned: "You talk too much. If you don't talk, no one will treat you as dumb. I want to rob your eldest cousin and go back to be a daughter, because I'm afraid your aunt won't want to."
Qingfu smiled and said, "It's her luck that she can be valued by her aunt. If you want me to see it, Nianchun is lively and charming. I'd really like to have another daughter like this."
Xu Nianchun immediately ran to Qingfu County Master to act like a spoiled child. Mrs. Cheng was so amused that she couldn't close her mouth. The other ladies and wives also covered their handkerchiefs and laughed.
Cheng Yujin also smiled cooperatively, but she couldn't help feeling sour when she saw this scene. Xu Nianchun can quarrel with his aunt recklessly, go to Qingfu County Master to act like a spoiled child, and Cheng Yumo can also fall into Ruan's arms and laugh.
What about her
The whole house was lively, but it had nothing to do with her.
However, even so, Cheng Yujin couldn't show any loss, and still wanted to laugh and make fun of everyone, to please Mrs. Cheng. Cheng Min laughed for a while, then turned around at will, and suddenly saw Cheng Yujin standing in the deep warm pavilion of Jinxiu, watching everyone laugh softly.
Cheng Min's heart moved for some reason, and now she looked at Cheng Yujin carefully, and found that her niece was surprisingly good-looking. The clothes are red, and the jewelry is also made of gold and rubies. If it were someone else, it might be too tacky, but it was just right to wear it on Cheng Yujin. It seems that the most precious jewels in the world should be matched with Cheng Yujin.
The only regret is that Cheng Yujin is still young, and this dress looks formal on her. If Cheng Yujin grows to seventeen or eighteen in a few years, her eyebrows are wide open, and her figure is drawn. Color, peerless elegance.
After Cheng Min looked at it, she couldn't help but ask the princess of Qingfu: "Sister-in-law, the eldest girl looks good. She has never seen the set of gold-encrusted jade jewelry on her head, so she must have given it to her?"
Qing Fu glanced at it and replied, "It was the dowry that my mother-in-law prepared for me when I got married. I can't use it when I'm too old, so I'll wear something new for the little girls."
Cheng Min snorted "oh" with envy in her voice: "Sister-in-law is really kind to the child. It is really a blessing for the eldest girl to be reborn as your daughter."
In fact, Cheng Yujin noticed her headdress as soon as Cheng Yujin entered the door, and now that Cheng Min started, she could put her eyes on it in a fair manner. Looking at it carefully like this, Nguyen's mood became more complicated.
The whole bar is solid gold, not to mention the large pieces of jade and gemstones inlaid on it, even the Ruan family does not have such precious jewelry, but Cheng Yujin, a little girl who has not left the cabinet, wears three or four pieces at a time. Looking at this style, she should have a complete set.
Ruan Shi was a little sour, thinking that she was her daughter, but because of money, she changed her name to call someone else a mother. If she really has milk, she is a mother. When the other girls saw it, they were both envious and jealous.
Cheng Yujin made a lot of money by being able to recognize Qingfu County Master as her mother.
During this process, Cheng Yujin smiled and did not move, letting everyone look at it. She could clearly see the expressions in the eyes of others, but her heart did not fluctuate. Everyone said that she took a big advantage, but Cheng Yujin would rather she never be adopted.
This is indeed what Qingfu County Lord rewarded her. Qingfu County Lord has always cared about these face projects. If it was the biological mother who prepared jewelry for her daughter, she would display it specially. Would you like to make it known to the world
of course not.
So she has to be sensible, show the goodness of Qingfu County Master to her, and let others praise Qingfu County Master for his kindness. In the same way, it was also on Cheng Yujin's self-esteem that he made blunt strokes with each knife.
Cheng Yujin thought with a self-deprecating laugh that she had quite a few beautiful and expensive headdresses and bracelets, but for so many years, she had almost no ready-made silver on hand. She is a beautiful sign, looking at the scenery outside, in fact, she can't even turn her life around.
The adults were full of praise for Cheng Yujin, but it was completely different from the ears of the little girls who were just enlightened in the room.
The faces of the little girls were not very good. Xu Nianchun looked at Cheng Yujin and pouted quietly. Cheng Yujin just didn't see it. She knew from a very young age that her cousins, even her cousins, didn't like her.
From childhood to adulthood, she was the child of someone else's family according to her parents. After a long time, it is strange that her popularity can be good.
But what does that matter? Cheng Yujin thought silently in her heart, as long as the elders like it, that's enough.
It is rare for Cheng Min to return to her parents' home once, and she has a lot to say to Mrs. Cheng. Soon, the children were sent by adults to Baoxia to play.
Without the elders watching, this group of boys and girls immediately became lively. The little girls sat in a pile in twos and threes. Cheng Yumo just sat down when a young man in red jumped up in front of him: "Sister Mo, are you cured?"
The talking Langjun has a face like a crown jade, his eyes are black and bright, and he does not smile but also has a three-point passion. He is Cheng Min's only son, Xu Zhixian, the second young master of the Duke of Chang's mansion.
When Xu Nianchun saw it, he laughed and scolded: "Second brother, there are so many of us, why do you ask Sister Mo alone?"
Xu Zhixian said, "Sister Mo is sick, of course it's different."
Xu Nianchun laughed teasingly, Cheng Yumo covered her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "I'm much better, thank you second cousin for your concern."
Xu Nianchun was afraid that the world would not be chaotic and shouted: "Fortunately, cousin Mo has recovered, so it's not worth my second brother to come over and ask."
All the young girls in Baoxia laughed when they heard this. Xu Zhixian didn't feel uncomfortable even among a group of sisters, laughing and fighting with the sisters.
In the midst of the hilarity, a group of maids came in. Cheng Yujin walked in the center and instructed the maid, "Bring another charcoal basin over here, I want silver wire. Open the east side window to ventilate and save the heat."
"Yes."
The maids filed in, and under the command of Cheng Yujin, they quickly rearranged the Baoxia. Cheng Yujin stood on the ground and commanded calmly, and the aura of lifting weights on her body was immediately different from the playful girls.
The girls were a little uncomfortable, Cheng Yujin stepped here, making them look like children. Xu Zhixian said with a smile: "Sister Jin is really amazing. You can command so many maids and old ladies by yourself, so you shouldn't be in a hurry."
Cheng Yujin nodded at Xu Zhixian and smiled lightly. Xu Nianchun gave a "yo" and deliberately said, "The eldest cousin is the same age as the second cousin. How can the second brother call the second cousin Sister Mo, but call the eldest cousin Sister Jin?"
Xu Zhixian scratched his head, and was really stopped by the question: "I don't know, Sister Jin... It should be called Sister Jin."
Could it be called Sister Jin? Xu Zhixian felt that something was wrong just thinking about it.
Cheng Yujin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, they are all brothers and sisters. The second young master can call whatever you want."
Cheng Yujin said, looking at Xu Zhixian in front of him with a scrutiny look.
I didn't care about it before, but now it seems that Xu Zhixian is a good husband-in-law candidate.
Although no one in Changguo Gongfu held important positions in the court, it would inevitably go downhill, but at the same time it was a wine bag and a rice bag. How could the Houfu of Yichun be picky, at least the Xu family was still the government. Thirdly, Cheng Min is her aunt, and it is better for her aunt and nephew to be a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law than a stranger. I heard that the granddaughter-in-law of the Duke of Changguo is in power now. If she wants to come, Cheng Min is willing to have another person to help her. In the end, Xu Zhixian grew up in a group of daughters. When he was a child, he was led by his elder sister who was more than ten years older. There were many cousins in the family. It is true that a man who grew up like this is not very promising, and he lacks a bit of masculinity, but , but the character is really gentle, and it is best to handle it.
The more Cheng Yujin looked, the more satisfied she became. She used to despise Chang Guo's mansion, and a rich and noble dude like Xu Zhixian was even more out of consideration. But now that she has withdrawn from the relationship, it is time to re-plan. Cheng Yujin loves money and power, and it is impossible for her to accompany men to struggle together in common adversity. In this way, Xu Zhixian was just right.
Cheng Yujin made up her mind and smiled very gently at Xu Zhixian.
Xu Zhixian inexplicably felt the cold behind him. He looked back and thought that the window might be too open, and the cold wind was blowing in.
After that, Cheng Yujin took care of Xu Zhixian as if indifferently. After lunch, Mrs. Cheng was going to take a lunch break, and the juniors were unwatched and played together. Cheng Yujin thought that it was a great opportunity from heaven. She must take advantage of this time to deal with this gentle and affectionate kind.
Cheng Yuanjing came in from the outside, and when he entered the door, he happened to see Cheng Yujin facing a man with a thoughtful look.
Cheng Yuanjing's brows moved slightly. What a surprise, every time he sees Cheng Yujin, he has new discoveries.
