Cheng Laohouye was dizzy after such a toss, and was supported by someone to rest. Cheng Yuanjing escorted Old Marquis Cheng back to his room, and the others stood in the main hall and watched them leave.
After the others left, Cheng Yuanxian scolded indignantly: "Father knew from day to night that he was partial to the outsider, and he even beat me today. Oh, fortunately, I am much older than him, and my mother took the initiative and applied for the prince for me. Otherwise, looking at my father's appearance, I wish I could give this traitor all the family business of Yichun Hou's mansion."
"Boss." Madam Cheng glared at him seriously, "Junior is still there, what are you talking about?"
The runner is a concubine, and the unmarried child is a traitor. Cheng Yuanjing was born outside, and he is not as good as the concubine who has crossed the road at home, not to mention that the little Xue family gave birth to a child out of wedlock. Mrs. Cheng sneered at Xiao Xue, and spared no effort to insult Xiao Xue in front of her children. Back then, Mrs. Xue was a noble daughter, and Mrs. Cheng couldn't even reach Mrs. Xue's heels. After the Xue family's accident, the Marquis of Yichun was anxious to clear the relationship, so Mrs. Cheng took advantage of it. Mrs. Cheng's distorted hatred for the little Xue family slowly infiltrated the next generation, and she taught Cheng Yuanxian to be a dignified son.
When the incident happened just now, all the juniors stood up, and they were quickly carried away by the nurse when they were young. The remaining sensible ones, Cheng Yumo and Xu Zhixian, have already been taken to another room by the mama to avoid them. The elders speak. Cheng Yuanxian's words cannot be heard in the other room, but the juniors are still there after all. Cheng Yuanxian said these things in front of his unmarried niece and niece, which is really indecent.
However, Mrs. Cheng just scolded her casually, and she didn't care much about her demeanor. Seeing Mrs. Cheng like this, how could other people dare to speak.
The characters Cheng Min came into contact with in the public mansion was higher than her parents' family. She didn't feel it when she left the cabinet. Now that she was in her parents' family, she suddenly felt that the eldest brother was too unreliable. Her mother is also, she is ignorant and protects her shortcomings, she has been spoiled since she was a child, and everything is caused by outsiders to ruin the man. As a result, her brother is in his thirties, and he is not even a serious official. The second brother is also supported by his promises.
The decline of the Cheng family is a foregone conclusion.
However, the water splashed by the married daughter, she went back to her mother’s house as a guest, and it’s hard to say too much, so she can only persuade both sides: “Mother, brother, father, after all, he has raised Jiulang for so many years, he is old now and physically weak. It's not good, just bear with him, and don't have any more conflicts. Besides, I heard from my father-in-law that Jiu Lang is a fourth-rank rank at a young age, and his future is limitless. Even the father-in-law let the second master have a good relationship with Jiu Lang, what are you doing? Can you push your family out?"
Everyone who said this was silent, Cheng Min sighed, and persuaded: "Mother, big brother, it's happy to fight for a while, but what should you do in the future with such a big family business in the Hou Mansion? You just don't think about yourself, you Think about it for the following grandchildren. It just happened that Kuro was just transferred back, and the appointment letter from the Ministry of Personnel has not been issued yet, so you might as well find a way for Kuro to be placed in the Hanlin Academy, and the rewards will be great in the future."
Cheng Yuanxian immediately shouted strangely: "Hanlin? Just him?"
"Why not." Cheng Min glared at his eldest brother, hating that iron cannot become steel. "Don't forget, he was born in a serious jinshi, and the first two rankings have been very good, and he didn't fall down until the palace exam."
Speaking of the palace exam, everyone in the Cheng family was silent. Not to mention the palace exam, their family has never even seen the township exam. It is precisely because of ignorance that he has no idea about the 16-year-old Jinshi, and he can continue to be a demon.
When the mother-in-law and sister-in-law were talking, Nguyen didn't dare to interrupt. Hearing that her sister-in-law asked Cheng Yuanjing to find a way, Ruan was anxious, she glanced at Qingfu one after another, and seeing that Qingfu showed no sign of standing up, she couldn't help but say: "Find a way for Jiuye to enter the Hanlin Academy? But the second master still…”
Cheng Min is completely speechless. Okay, one of her parents' elder brothers has a higher self-esteem than the other, and her sister-in-law is still not clear. Cheng Min was no longer thankful, but stood up and said, "I'm an outsider. It's hard to say these words. Mother, think about it. I'll go see the big girl."
In the Bisha closet, Cheng Yujin leaned weakly on the Luohan bed. When she saw Cheng Min coming in, she immediately got up to greet her: "Auntie."
"Sit down, sit down, you still have injuries, why do you pay attention to these false rituals?" Cheng Min hurriedly stopped Cheng Yujin, but Cheng Yujin shook her head and said, "Properties cannot be abandoned."
Cheng Min sighed and watched the child perform family rituals in an orderly manner. She thought to herself that the two brothers could no longer be pointed out, and they were the same virtue in their entire lives, but in the third generation of the Cheng family, none of the brothers could do it. Look at Cheng Enbao from the eldest brother's house, what kind of pampering he is by Qingfu, he is laughed at when he takes him out, and the two boys in the second room are also a little petty.
Counting to and fro, the Cheng family's most successful people turned out to be two girls. The eldest girl is dignified and beautiful, and the second girl is innocent and lovely. One is liked by the high-ranking mother-in-law, and the other is liked by the prince. They are all very promising. Cheng Min thought of this and sighed. A family depends on women to become famous, which shows that the decline of this family is close at hand. The Cheng family is like this, and her husband's Xu family is not like this.
Cheng Min sighed, pulled Cheng Yujin to sit beside him, and asked softly, "Does it still hurt? Let me see the injury on your hand."
Cheng Yujin thought that this can't be shown to you, she rolled up a sleeve to reveal the pale gauze inside, and then put down the sleeve: "Aunt, I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
Cheng Min throbbed when she saw the dense gauze inside, but Cheng Yujin said with a relaxed face that it was okay, and avoided the important things lightly, for fear that she would be worried. Cheng Min's love and affection for this niece almost overflowed her chest, she didn't dismantle Cheng Yujin, she held her hand and said, "Scars can't be left on my daughter's body, I have a good bottle of soothing ointment there, which was rewarded by the concubine Shu. , I'll have someone send it to you in a while. In the evening, ask the maid to remove the gauze and apply the medicine again. "
The medicine given by Concubine Shu? The eldest miss of the Xu family is the empress in the palace, which is also the reason why the Xu family has more confidence than the Cheng family. Cheng Yujin thought about it, and finally smiled shyly at Cheng Min: "Aunt Xie."
"Silly child, family, what's there to thank you for?" Cheng Min looked at Cheng Yujin now and really liked it. It's a pity that such a good girl has been dismissed from her relatives. The Huo family is simply doing nothing. Cheng Min felt regretful in his heart, and suddenly remembered that scumbag from his own family.
However, this kind of thought passed away in a flash. The marriage of children is not a trivial matter. Cheng Min just thought about it, and he was still far from making a decision. Cheng Min held Cheng Yujin's hand and said, "You can heal your wounds at ease, and you don't have to worry about other things. You are well behaved, filial, and your appearance is one of the best I've ever seen. Life has its own set of fates. Maybe Sai Weng loses his horse, how can you know it's not a blessing."
Cheng Yujin knew that Cheng Min was comforting her about her divorce, and seeing this voice, there was still a long way to go before she could impress Cheng Min. It is a good thing if Cheng Minyi is moved, but Cheng Yujin is not in a hurry or impatient, and should say with a smile, "I understand."
Cheng Min was relieved for a while, nothing more than persuading Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Yuanxian to have difficulties, so that Cheng Yujin could not be separated from the elders. Cheng Yujin sneered inwardly, but on the surface she still responded obediently, with a look of deep conviction and loyalty.
Cheng Min and Cheng Yujin had a long conversation, and then asked her mother to take Cheng Yujin back to the room. After the people left, she went to find Xu Zhixian, and found that Xu Zhixian was leaning on the kang table watching Cheng Yumo and Xu Nianchun jump the red rope, with a focused look on his face, his attitude was much more attentive than reading a book.
Cheng Min felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, cleared his throat deliberately, and asked, "Where is your ancestor?"
Cheng Yumo put away the rope and said, "Grandma just went inside to rest. Grandma said it was windy outside, it was dark and cold, and it was too much trouble to travel, so let us sleep with grandma tonight."
Cheng Min wanted to know that it was dark and cold outside, so Cheng Yumo was still injured, didn't he walk the same way? She can't say these words, so she can only say with a sullen face: "Since the ancestors love you, don't play anymore, wash up quickly, and don't disturb the ancestors to sleep."
"Yes." Cheng Yumo climbed out of bed and went to wash his face with Xu Nianchun hand in hand. Xu Zhixian also wanted to follow, but Cheng Min grabbed him and said, "You child, why didn't you send your elder sister away when you just went out?"
"Ah? Sister Jin has gone back, what happened?" Xu Zhixian murmured, "She put medicine in it and won't let others see it. Sister Mo said that Sister Jin pays the most attention to manners. . I also said to ask her when she cleans up beautifully. Why did she leave? "
Cheng Min glared at Xu Zhixian, and finally couldn't help laughing. Although this son of hers is flamboyant, he is sincere, and his heart is the best. If there is a powerful daughter-in-law watching and managing, the future will not be bad.
No, Cheng Min reacted abruptly: "What sister Jin, sister Mo, aren't they the same age?"
Xu Zhixian scratched his head: "Oh, I forgot again."
Not to mention Xu Zhixian, Cheng Min didn't react, and subconsciously felt that Cheng Yujin was her sister. Cheng Min pushed his son and said, "Okay, go wash up. I want to go back to the courtyard before I left the cabinet to sleep, and I can't watch you two at night. You are already old, don't make trouble with your sisters, understand? "
Cheng Min's words are to remind Xu Zhixian and Cheng Yumo to keep a distance, they are both fourteen years old, not children. I don't know if Xu Zhixian understood first, so he complied, but then urged his mother to leave.
At this time, in the courtyard of Old Marquis Cheng, the lights were also burning brightly. Old Marquis Cheng and Cheng Yuanjing sat facing each other under the lamp, Old Marquis Cheng said ashamedly: "Your Highness, the old minister has no way to teach his son, and I have offended you. The old man is here to apologize."
Cheng Laohou said that he was about to kneel, and Cheng Yuanjing supported him and said, "It's okay, those who don't know are innocent. In their position, it's normal to think like this."
When Old Marquis Cheng knelt down, he had some inexplicable thoughts. After all, the Cheng family was kind to the prince. If he knelt like this, how could the prince be held accountable. Cheng Yuanjing said the words of forgiveness as Lord Cheng wished, but for some reason, after hearing that, Lord Cheng's heart became colder.
His Royal Highness can see everything clearly, but he sees it too clearly, making Old Marquis Cheng often feel that his filthy thoughts are clearly visible in His Highness's eyes. He just didn't say it.
Old Marquis Cheng couldn't bear his old face, but he was about to die, and the next generation of the Cheng family didn't even have a face. What to do at home? Old Marquis Cheng could only endure the shame and continued: "I'm so sorry for your Highness today, the old minister apologized to His Highness on behalf of the unfilial son. Your Highness, the old minister was negligent before and did not pay attention to the name of the eldest girl, which is a taboo for you. Otherwise, tomorrow Should I change the name of the eldest girl?"
Cheng Yuanjing's bright and startling eyes floated in front of the girl's eyes. She suddenly changed her name when she was fourteen. Even if it was said to avoid the elders, outsiders could not avoid speculation. Cheng Yuanjing regained his senses, lowered his eyes to hide his daze, and said, "It's okay."
"Your Highness?"
"There's no need to change it, it's quite easy to shout."
Old Marquis Cheng didn't quite understand, but when the prince spoke, could he still fight against the prince? Old Marquis Cheng nodded and said, "Yes."
After coming out of the Fuliyuan, Cheng Yuanjing walked slowly in the dark night. The night wind was shining, and the dry branches of the trees made a whimpering sound. Cheng Yuanjing did not speak, and the others did not dare to disturb him, and followed behind the master in silence. After a while, the master in front suddenly said, "Get a bottle of plaster tomorrow."
Liu Yi was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness, are you injured?"
Cheng Yuanjing glanced at him, Liu Yi remembered that the prince was the most annoying nonsense, and quickly lowered his head: "No, slaves obey."
