Cheng Yujin's good marriage plan was interrupted. After returning to the house, Forsythia waited on Cheng Yujin to change her homely clothes and asked, "Girl, do you want to practice calligraphy?"
When I mention this Cheng Yujin, I hate her. However, she is a very rational person and never loses her temper when she encounters a problem. She only cares about how to solve the problem and how to maximize the benefits. Anyway, she will definitely not be able to get in touch with Xu Zhixian tonight. If she gets angry, won't she gain nothing
Might as well practice some words. The key to marrying a good husband is to cast a wide net and focus on catching fish. Xu Zhixian can't relax here, and he must follow up with the emperor's birthday gift, which may be rewarded.
Cheng Yujin said, "Get your pen and ink ready, and I'll practice calligraphy in a while."
Forsythia was speechless when she heard it. The eldest girl got up before dawn. First, she went to greet Mrs. Cheng, and then went to Jiuye to write for a day. After finally returning home at night, she even had to write. With such perseverance, many students who are rushing for the exam are not comparable, right
Forsythia admired very much. Du Ruo had already laid out the rice paper, put clean water in the inkstone, and quietly retreated.
Cheng Yujin didn't like anyone beside her when she was reading. The slaves knew Cheng Yujin's rules, so they all retreated outside quietly. Cheng Yujin has lived alone in a courtyard since she was sensible. When Qingfu raised her, she had not yet given birth. She smelled the milky smell of the child and felt disgusting. When Cheng Yujin was able to act on her own, she hurriedly threw Cheng Yujin outside. This is not bad, Cheng Yujin has been in charge of slaves and property since she was a child, and her temperament is much more mature than other ladies.
Her yard is not as big as Cheng Yuanjing's, but it has all the internal organs. The main room faces south, and there are two wing rooms in the east and west. The south is the main gate, and there are two inverted rooms on each side of the main gate. There is a cross-shaped bluestone corridor from the door to the main room, and a tall flower tree is planted in the flowerbed, which is especially lively in spring. Corner doors are opened at all four corners, and when you open the door, you can go out into the Hou Mansion, which is deep in the courtyard.
Her main room has the same five-room layout, but it is not as spacious as Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Yuanjing's. Cheng Yujin placed the westernmost one as a bedroom, and separated it with a wooden lattice moon door. Stay out of sight. Arhat beds and exquisite mahogany seats are placed in the West Room to receive close guests. The middle room is the main hall, where visitors are received and the servants kowtow in the New Year. To the east is Cheng Yujin's own space, the innermost is the study, and the other is where he does embroidery.
Cheng Yujin made a rule that Mrs. Sasao and the general servants could only move around in the yard, and the second-class servants could only enter the main room, but they could only wipe the seats in the main hall and run chores. Her study and bedroom were the only ones. Only a close-fitting first-class maid can enter.
Cheng Yujin sat at the table for a while, and suddenly remembered that Cheng Yuanjing gave her a bottle of ointment today.
She remembered asking Du Ruo to put it away at noon. Where was it
Cheng Yujin went to Duobao Pavilion to look through it, and indeed found a porcelain bottle in a small drawer. She said that sentence today as a joke. Who knows, Cheng Yuanjing actually prepared something, but it was still medicine.
Injury medicine can not be given indiscriminately, usually prepared in advance. Cheng Yujin was a little curious and a little unconvinced, would someone like Cheng Yuanjing prepare medicine for others in advance
She doesn't quite believe it. Cheng Yujin took off the medicine stopper and sniffed lightly. Cheng Yujin was originally thinking of defending others, but she didn't expect such a sniff to make her even more confused.
How did she feel that this bottle of medicine tasted the same as the one Cheng Min gave earlier? Cheng Yujin found out about Cheng Min and smelled it. Cheng Min was a dignified lady who would not lie to her. This was obviously the imperial medicine given by the concubine Shu, how could it be so similar to what Cheng Yuanjing brought
The next day Cheng Yujin went to copy as usual, and she looked at Cheng Yuanjing full of inquiry. Cheng Yuanjing didn't talk much, and Cheng Yujin never said useless words. The two of them often stayed in the house for an afternoon without disturbing each other, each doing their own thing.
Cheng Yujin thought that this person was quiet and self-disciplined, and it was comfortable to get along with, but at night, Cheng Yujin felt a little helpless.
For a few days, when she was free, Cheng Yuanjing called her "Cheng Yujin" unhurriedly, and then she had to bite the bullet and go back to practice calligraphy. During the few days that Cheng Min stayed in the Hou Mansion, Cheng Yujin never found a chance to be alone with Xu Zhixian.
Cheng Yujin almost suspected that Cheng Yuanjing was deliberately messing with her, but then she thought, she didn't offend Cheng Yuanjing, and secondly, there was no conflict of interest with Cheng Yuanjing, wouldn't he be so boring? Maybe he was in a hurry to do He Shou embroidery, so he urged her to practice calligraphy.
Maybe she is the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Today, Cheng Yumo and Xu Zhixian were playing together, and Cheng Yujin stood at the door consciously, waiting for Cheng Yuanjing.
Don't worry, the old man shouted, she will come by herself.
After playing for a while, Xu Zhixian realized that Cheng Yujin was not there, and called across the room, "Sister Jin, where are you going?"
Cheng Yujin had put on her cape and moccasin boots and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back to practice calligraphy."
"Oh." Xu Zhixian replied dumbly, Cheng Yuanjing had already walked up to him at this time, Cheng Yujin hurriedly greeted Xu Zhixian, and then chased Cheng Yuanjing out.
Xu Zhixian watched the two leave one after another, scratched his head after a long time, and muttered, "Sister Jin is really diligent. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I thought I could talk to Sister Jin tonight."
On the second day, Cheng Min took a car back to Chang Guogong Mansion, and the servants of the Guogong Mansion came to the second gate to greet him in person. Cheng Yujin stood behind the hanging flower gate with her grandmother, quietly watching the carriage of the Duke's Mansion go away.
It is really good to have money and power. Even the carriage is more stylish than the Hou Mansion. Cheng Yujin's heart to marry into Gaomen is more determined. Getting married is the second reincarnation. She can't decide her parents, so she can only find a high-level man as much as possible. She was fed up with the feeling of being under the fence, and no one could stop her from going high.
Mrs. Cheng went home, and Mrs. Cheng was reluctant, while the rest of the Cheng family breathed a sigh of relief. The auntie was here, and they had to be attentive no matter what they did, carefully holding the sister-in-law and the two children of the Xu family. Nguyen Shi returned to the yard and sat on the slump, letting out a long sigh of relief.
"It's gone. It's really exhausting to walk with her these days. The old lady just moved her mouth, but the mother and daughter are happy. It's us who suffer."
Cheng Yumo climbed up and slammed Ruan's shoulder: "Mother, you have worked hard, my daughter will loosen your muscles and bones."
Ruan Shi was so moved by her daughter's actions that her eyes became sore: "My daughter is getting older, and she knows how to hurt people. Mother really didn't raise you in vain."
The maid on the side saw the gap and said, "My daughter is my mother's sweet little padded jacket. The second girl is already fourteen, so there will be more time to honor my wife in the future."
Ruan nodded: "Yes, Mo'er will marry a good husband in the future. Not only will she be able to honor her parents, but she will also be able to support your younger brother. It will be more worry-free than raising a son."
Cheng Yumo's face was flushed when she was told, she turned around coquettishly and said, "Mother, they beat you on the back well, but you said these words. Besides, I will ignore you."
Ruan Shi and the dowry maid both laughed, and Cheng Yumo blushed at their laughter, climbed down and ran out. The laughter inside was even louder. Cheng Yumo let the wind dissipate the enthusiasm on her face. Although she was ashamed, she couldn't help but think, it's been a month, why hasn't brother Zhang Yuan come to propose marriage yet
At the beginning, it was clearly agreed that after breaking off the marriage with my sister, I would come to marry her.
Even though Cheng Yumo believed Huo Chang Yuan, he was a little anxious now. Both her grandmother and mother were looking for candidates for her. Most importantly, she heard from Xu Nianchun, and some people asked the Huo family about Huo Changyuan's marriage. If we don't rush to make an appointment, wouldn't she and Huo Chang Yuan have to go the same way in their previous lives again
Cheng Yumo was restless here, but in Jingyong Hou's mansion, Huo Xue's family was perfunctory Huo Changyuan while looking at the daughters of other mansions.
In the world, the Cheng family is not the only one who has a daughter, and the one who is worthy of her son must be the most outstanding girl. Cheng Yumo is not a serious daughter of the Marquis of Yichun. Once the old marquis dies, the title will belong to her uncle. What does it have to do with their family? Moreover, Cheng Yumo's father's official position was not high, so he was able to be mediocre. In order to seduce Zhang Yuan, Huo Xue was unwilling to choose her as his daughter-in-law.
Huo Chang Yuan occasionally asked, and Huo Xue said that it was soon, but in private, she had already picked others.
Cheng Yujin didn't have the heart to pay attention to the affairs of the Huo family and Cheng Yumo. With her, Huo Changyuan was already dead. She has the next target husband in her eyes, and she also has the task of embroidering a screen in her hands. She has been copying Cheng Yuanjing's handwriting for half a month. Yesterday, Cheng Yuanjing finally said that it was a bit like an image. Cheng Yujin asked the maid to move her embroidery frame out, and the needles will be moved in the next few days.
This screen is no trivial matter. Cheng Yujin's embroidery skills are excellent, but he still practiced for several days to ensure that Cheng Yuanjing's characters can be copied completely before dropping the needle carefully.
The screen for the emperor's birthday is not a big one, but a small screen. Cheng Yujin brought the embroidered corner to Cheng Yuanjing to see. Cheng Yuanjing raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw it: "You actually embroider it yourself?"
"Of course." Cheng Yujin understood why Cheng Yuanjing said that, the "hands" of the master in the high gate courtyard was just a little bit of lip service, and in fact it was the servant girl below. And female red is boring and difficult, and the young ladies can't bear this hardship more and more. Even the greeting ceremony for the in-law's family is embroidered by the dowry maid. The master picks two stitches, even if it is embroidered by hand.
Lord Cheng also meant the same thing. And Cheng Yujin actually held the needle in person, no wonder Cheng Yuanjing was surprised.
Cheng Yujin said with a smile: "Since I have this name, I must do my best. The embroidered mother outside is not at ease, so I might as well come in person."
Cheng Yuanjing chuckled, she was really confident. He gave Cheng Yujin a lot of face, and opened the semi-finished product to look at it. He didn't care about it at first. How old is Cheng Yujin, and she has learned a lot of skills. She has to try almost everything. In this case, female red can have how nice.
But when Cheng Yuanjing's eyes touched the embroidery traces above, he was really surprised: "Double-sided embroidery?"
"Yes." Cheng Yujin added with a smile, "To be precise, it's double-sided embroidery."
Cheng Yuanjing had heard a little about double-sided embroidery. The embroidery mother stitched the needle at one time, and embroidered both the front and back at the same time, and there was no thread at all, which was called double-sided embroidery. The double-sided embroidery is even more powerful. When embroidering both sides at the same time, the patterns on the front and back are still different.
Cheng Yuanjing was really impressed with Cheng Yujin. Double-sided embroidery requires at least several decades of embroidery skills to carefully arrange needles, which is extremely difficult. Therefore, there are only a handful of double-sided embroidery products on the market. few. And double-sided embroidery is even more difficult. It can be called the highest embroidery technique. It is purely based on talent. No matter how many years of experience, it is impossible to say no. It's incredible that Cheng Yujin could embroider on both sides at such a young age.
Cheng Yuanjing took a good look at Cheng Yujin and said, "No wonder."
No wonder she dared to say that if you want to embroider, it is the best to embroider, and she came to hold the needle. Sure enough, there is this foundation.
Cheng Yujin didn't understand: "What?"
Cheng Yuanjing never said repeated words, he did not answer, and suddenly became curious: "Why do you embroider on both sides?"
"Ninth uncle probably forgot that my grandfather's fief was in the south of the Yangtze River. This was the dowry that my grandfather carefully selected when my mother married the capital."
Cheng Yuanjing had an impression of King Ning. King Ning had been hereditary for many years in the south of the Yangtze River. The person he gave to his daughter as a dowry was thought to be the highest embroidery mother in the area. Cheng Yujin had learned the most powerful skill of embroidery at the age of fourteen. Judging from her appearance, I am afraid she is even more powerful than her female red master.
Cheng Yuanjing asked: "You can embroider on both sides, why have you never heard of it?"
With Cheng Yujin's calculating temperament, it should work until everyone knows it.
"That's not good. If they all knew that I could embroider, wouldn't everyone come to me? I don't have a mother to stop me, so why do these things that harm myself and others?"
Cheng Yuanjing paused for a moment before laughing. Sure enough, she was still her, not by calculation, but by calculation.
A person like her can live a good life no matter who she marries in the future. He will be surprised when he has seen many tributes. Her husband in the future will see that she can embroider on both sides. Isn't he happy as if he found a treasure
Cheng Yuanjing felt unhappy for some reason.
