Mrs. Cheng was sleeping inside, and Cheng Min also found a room to rest. Only a few juniors were in good spirits, they didn't need to sleep, and no elders were watching, they all piled up and frolic.
Xu Zhixian grew up in the rouge pile, and it is not embarrassing to stay with a few younger sisters. He was huddling with Cheng Yumo to look at the album, when Xu Nianchun saw it, he took off his shoes and squeezed over.
At this time, Cheng Yujin was out of tune. In fact, Cheng Yujin didn't want to squeeze with them either. But here is her new target Xu Zhixian, she can't turn around and leave, she can only sit here patiently and wait.
In a blink of an eye, Cheng Yujin saw Xu Wanchun sitting alone on a stool drinking tea. Xu Wanchun is a concubine, no better than the other two direct descendants who returned to their hometown to get acquainted with each other. Xu Zhixian and his sister Mo leaned against each other to look at paintings. Xu Nianchun was a direct daughter. Standing on the ground, at a loss, very embarrassed. She has a cowardly temperament, and she only drinks tea in a muffled voice for a while, looking down at the pattern on her skirt.
Cheng Yujin is not a character that can be liked by men, and she realized this very early on. From childhood to adulthood, whenever there is a guest, the wife of the guest praises her when she sees her, and the other party's husband also notices her at first sight, and his eyes are full of surprise. But it didn't take long for the wife to like Cheng Yujin more and more, and the young gentlemen would find it boring and turn to have a good time with the second girl Cheng Yumo. After that, the elders let the juniors move freely, and the men all gathered around Cheng Yumo before they knew it.
They were attracted to the big girl at first sight, but as they got along, they gradually fell in love with the second girl. Because Cheng Yujin is always dignified and beautiful, and the skirt corners are not messed up at all, but the second girl Cheng Yumo will run with them and laugh together.
Cheng Yujin thought to herself, maybe she is really a very boring person. But what does it matter, it's their mothers who call the shots, not these young men. It was enough that their mother liked her.
Just like now, Cheng Yumo and his aunt's cousin are reading a book with their heads on their heads. Cheng Yujin dislikes the bad posture, but instead notices Xu Wanchun who is alone in a blink of an eye. They are the master of the Xu family and the guests, embarrassing the guests and dereliction of duty.
Cheng Yujin smiled and sat beside Xu Wanchun and asked, "How is the second cousin?"
Xu Wanchun was flattered. She did not expect that Cheng Yujin, the eldest daughter and a famous celebrity, would come to chat with her in person. Xu Wanchun was surprised, but after talking with Cheng Yujin, his clenched fingers slowly loosened.
This famous and powerful young lady Cheng didn't seem to be as unapproachable as she imagined.
Cheng Yujin and Xu Wanchun talked back and forth, what kind of paragraph Cheng Yujin was, and deliberately led Xu Wanchun to say, and Xu Wanchun soon became very excited. Cheng Yujin smiled lightly, and slowly guided Xu Wanchun to talk about Xu Zhixian.
While listening, Cheng Yujin glanced at Xu Zhixian thoughtfully, as if weighing how much this pig could sell for. She was thinking in her heart when she suddenly heard a movement at the door. When she turned around, she saw Cheng Yuanjing entering the door. She glanced at them casually, and followed Cheng Yujin's gaze to Xu Zhixian. full of understanding.
Cheng Yujin was speechless for a while, she was secretly annoyed, how could it be him again! He was there for the last time she had a falling out with Huo Chang Yuan, but this time she was just about to attack Xu Zhixian when Cheng Yuanjing came again. Every time she has a dispute with a man, she will be bumped by Cheng Yuanjing, and she will bump into the indecent part.
Boss Cheng Yujin got up unwillingly and saluted Cheng Yuanjing: "Ninth uncle, Wanfu."
Cheng Yujin's voice reminded the others. The few people crowded on the kang bed looked up blankly and saw a young man standing at the door.
At this time, Cheng Yujin was very satisfied with her state, her clothes were neat, her skirt corners were straight, she didn't need to climb up and down, and her appearance was perfect. Cheng Yujin's image burden is probably heavier than her own.
Cheng Yuanjing glanced lightly and asked, "Mrs. Hou is inside?"
The juniors in Baosha looked at each other in dismay, this man was too young and good-looking, and they dared not answer for a while. Cheng Yujin naturally became the leader and said, "Uncle Hui Jiu, my grandmother just took a nap and is probably awake now."
Cheng Yuanjing nodded, he just stood there at will, and the maid came out after a while: "Jiu Ye, the old lady has a request."
After Cheng Yuanjing went in, the Baosha was quiet for a long time before Xu Nianchun whispered, "This is..."
Everyone looked at Cheng Yujin as it should, and with Cheng Yujin around, she was always regarded as an invisible leader by default. This trend is even more pronounced when emergencies come down and there is no time for rehearsal.
Cheng Yujin didn't find it strange at all, and was responsible for introducing it to everyone: "This is the ninth uncle, who was awarded the Jinshi a few years ago.
Xu Nianchun understood that there was a lot of trouble between Old Marquis Cheng and Mrs. Cheng, and Cheng Min also told his children about the favored outer room of his grandfather's house in private. Xu Nianchun's face was flushed. The concubines she had seen were all timid and ugly, and the outsiders were not as good as concubines, but she did not expect to be so graceful.
Xu Nianchun had never seen such an outstanding man. His cheeks flushed with excitement for a while, and he stopped fighting for his brother's attention, and his movements were much quieter. Even Xu Wanchun's face was flushed, and he sat quietly and shyly on the chair.
Shou'an Tang was the largest yard in Yichun Hou's mansion. It was not as solemn and majestic as Cheng Laohou, but the decoration was the most delicate. There are five main rooms in the front of the yard, east and west wing rooms on both sides, and a row of shady downside rooms to the south. Mrs. Cheng lives in the main room, and the side rooms on both sides are empty, which are cleaned every day. Sometimes Mrs. Cheng stays with the juniors and sleeps in the side rooms. The upside-down room was small and dank, where the servants lived.
As the old lady of the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Cheng has the best food and clothing, and she really spends money like running water. She lives in five main rooms by herself, and expands three rooms at the front and rear, and installs windows as a baosha. The whole room is in a "three-five-three" pattern. The sunshine in front of Baoxia is good, the maid likes to do needlework and gossip here, and also like to play here when the juniors come. The Baosha in the back is dark, one is a Buddhist hall, and the other stores large boxes.
Cheng Yujin and the others stayed in the front holding the building, and outsiders could see them as soon as they entered and exited. Cheng Min returned to her mother's house today. Cheng Yuanjing, as the nominal younger brother, couldn't justify him if he didn't come to meet. Cheng Yuanjing was talking inside, and several young girls were sitting outside, looking inside excitedly and restrainedly.
Seeing the state of Xu Nianchun and Xu Wanchun, Cheng Yujin really didn't understand what was so good about Cheng Yuanjing. Cheng Yuanjing's external conditions are really good, he looks top-notch, he is tall, young and born as a jinshi, and now he is a fourth-rank official. No matter how he looks at it, he has a promising future. But Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing have dealt with each other, and her intuition from falling and rolling in the back house for many years tells her that Cheng Yuanjing is not a kind person.
Only from a distance, not close friends.
Xu Nianchun lowered his voice and asked about Cheng Yuanjing. Xu Wanchun also put up his ears and listened. Even Xu Zhixian, who had always been unconcerned about fame, was also curious about this new ninth uncle. Only Cheng Yujin here knew a little bit more. She gave a general introduction. She wanted to change the subject several times, but these boys and girls persevered in chasing them back.
"It's amazing, I passed the jinshi exam on the 16th."
The fanboy Xu Zhixian was also convinced: "Yeah, my mother always praises Sister Jin's husband for being young and promising, but Uncle Jiu Biao is one year younger than Lord Huo Hou, and his official position is higher than that of Lord Huo Hou. Civilian officials are comparable. Military attachés are much more difficult and have more real power.”
Although Xu Zhixian was inexperienced, he was, after all, the son of Gongqing, and he also had an understanding of the official position in the court. Xu Zhixian originally sighed at will, but as soon as he finished speaking, he could hear the needle falling in Baoxia.
Xu Zhixian suddenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly stood up to apologize to Cheng Yujin: "Sister Jin, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend my sister..."
Xu Zhixian bowed again and again, as a man, it is very rare to be able to do this step. Besides, the issue of divorce does exist. Now that he has been divorced, can he still stop others from talking about it? This is still Xu Zhixian, after that, some people said unpleasant things.
Cheng Yujin's expression was the same, and she said with a smile, "It's okay, I forgot about it, second cousin doesn't have to worry about it."
Cheng Yujin is actually younger than Xu Zhixian, but Xu Zhixian subconsciously calls her sister. Cheng Yujin had no intention of correcting, but now she had other plans in her mind, and unknowingly changed the name of Xu Zhixian to second cousin.
Xu Zhixian was always rude to the sisters, and Cheng Yujin was good-natured and never got angry, so this matter passed politely. When the others saw it, they quickly changed the subject, and Baoshali became lively again.
Cheng Yumo sat leaning on the kang, and when she heard Huo Chang Yuan's name, she was a little ecstatic.
In her previous life, she also knew that the ninth uncle of the Cheng family was released, but she was a female family member and did not have much contact with the ninth uncle. She only knew that there was a young man from the Cheng family who had a high official position. up. Cheng Jiuye was short-lived, and soon disappeared from everyone's impression.
On the contrary, for a long time after that, Huo Chang Yuan's momentum was very good. The crown prince had just returned to the court and he had promoted many people vigorously, and Huo Chang Yuan was one of them. Therefore, Xu Zhixian said that Huo Changyuan was inferior to Cheng Yuanjing, but Cheng Yumo disagreed.
Cheng Yumo was a little lost. Brother Zhang Yuan was really kind to her, he was domineering and gentle, but it was a pity that they took too many detours and wasted too much time. Now that she is fortunate enough to be reborn, she must stay with brother Zhang Yuan from the very beginning.
Cheng Yumo glanced at Cheng Yujin vaguely, thinking, sister, don't blame me, the marriage that doesn't belong to you is not yours after all, and it's useless to calculate.
It is better to break early than late, and she is also for Cheng Yujin's good.
"Sister Mo?"
Xu Zhixian called Cheng Yumo, Cheng Yumo recovered, and then joined everyone's topic with a smile.
Cheng Yujin was planning to take advantage of this god-given opportunity to grasp Xu Zhixian, but she didn't expect that she only said a few words, and the sound of walking came from the main room. The maid opened the bead curtain and escorted Cheng Yuanjing out: "Ninth Master, walk slowly."
Cheng Yujin and others could only stand up: "Respectfully send Jiu Shu."
Cheng Yujin looked respectful, but she was already cheering in her heart, let's go quickly, don't interfere with her career for herself. She heard that Cheng Yuanjing's footsteps had gone out, and she was smiling, but she saw the other party suddenly stop at the door: "Cheng Yujin."
Cheng Yujin was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "My niece is here. What is the order of Uncle Ninth?"
"Master Hou is calling you for something."
The volcano in Cheng Yujin's heart exploded with a bang. She thought to herself that this person is endless, and the same routine has come twice
Cheng Yuanjing saw Cheng Yujin's repressed anger, and the smile on his lips became more comfortable: "I have brought my words, you can do it."
