This news is tantamount to a thunderbolt. Marriage is not child's play, and engagement is a good thing to have two surnames. If not, then the relationship between the two families will fade away. For someone like Jingyong Hou's mansion who has made a marriage proposal and then retired, it is no different from enmity. It is a good thing that the two families didn't turn against each other. Huo Chang Yuan actually came to propose marriage
And the object of the marriage proposal turned out to be Cheng Yujin's younger sister, the second young lady Cheng Yumo.
This is a humiliation. Forsythia and several maids heard it and trembled with anger: "This... ungrateful scum! Could it be that he doesn't know that the girl and the second lady are sisters? Even if they are cousins, they didn't quit the sister and went back. The girl who ordered the younger sister is still adopted by the big house, isn't the Huo family sincerely humiliating the girl?"
Du Ruo was calm and careful, and spoke more cautiously, but when she heard Mrs. Zheng recount the situation of Shou'an Tang, she was also very angry: "The Huo family is too deceiving! They broke off the marriage for no reason and ruined the girl's efforts for many years, and now she is embarrassed to come to the door. , proposed to the second lady in a grand manner. Why didn't the concierge beat them out!"
Cheng Yujin was very calm, and even smiled lightly: "It's profitable, why does my grandmother want to lose face to the Huo family? After Huo Changyuan and I broke off our marriage, my grandmother always regretted missing a helping hand, and now the Huo family has come to propose marriage again, It's too late for grandma's surprise, how could she be willing to drive the Huo family out."
"What?" Forsythia was shocked, "The old lady doesn't want the face of the Hou Mansion? How can you agree to this kind of thing? If you quit the elder sister and book the younger sister, what does the Jingyong Hou residence think of the Cheng family? If the old lady agrees, it will be the The faces of the two girls, and even the entire Yichun Hou Mansion, were thrown on the ground and stepped on."
Du Ruo was also very shocked, frowning and said, "Although the old lady is biased towards profit, but... it won't go to such a point, right?"
Cheng Yujin shook her head amusingly, her smile light and firm: "She will. My grandmother is such a person."
Forsythia and Du Ruo were shocked when they heard it. They followed Cheng Yujin since they were young and watched Cheng Yujin change from a lonely little girl to a famous lady in Beijing. No one knows Cheng Yujin better than Forsythia and Du Ruo over the years. pay. All her actions are just to marry a good husband, which may sound ironic, but this is indeed Cheng Yujin's only way out.
She didn't live to get married. She has always lived for herself.
Just because I understand that years of hard work have been shattered by people with an attitude that is almost ruined, it is even more distressing. After being divorced by Huo Changyuan, Forsythia and Du Ruo were both furious, but Cheng Yujin did not become depressed, and immediately returned to her state to search for the next suitable candidate. It was easy to find Xu Zhixian and Lin Qingyuan. Seeing that everything was about to go on the right track, the Huo family still refused to let go of the eldest girl, and even came to insult Cheng Yujin's face again.
Du Ruo repeatedly said that Mrs. Cheng couldn't agree. In fact, it was because she was afraid that she had to shout out very firmly. However, Cheng Yujin didn't keep even a little bit of luck for herself.
Du Ruo was so distressed that she couldn't help but whispered, "Girl..."
"What are you crying about?" Cheng Yujin smiled and glanced at the two maids, Shi Shiran stood up and carefully smoothed the folds on her skirt. Du Ruo was surprised: "Girl, what are you doing?"
"The Huo family rode on my head and stepped on me, did I really let them be so mad?" Cheng Yujin suddenly stopped laughing and said coldly, "He is dreaming."
"girl!"
"I don't need to say anything, I know what I'm doing." Cheng Yujin raised her hand to interrupt the maids' words of dissuasion, and said, "Those bastards are too deceiving, why do you want me to be tolerant and understand the general situation? Be patient, It's them who put up with me. Let's go to Shou'an Hall."
The Shou'an Hall was already full of people, and the county master Qingfu came over when he heard the news and almost fainted from anger when he saw Mrs. Huo Xue sitting at the top.
Seeing that, Nguyen hurriedly asked her mother-in-law to stop Qingfu. The corners of her eyes were filled with joy, she raised her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, I know you are excited now, but everything has to be divided into occasions. This time the Hof people invited Mrs. Quanfu, the most respectable wife in the capital, Miss Yang's back then. After getting married, Mrs. Quanfu even combed Miss Yang's hair. If my sister-in-law makes trouble in front of her and makes the Hou Mansion lose face, my mother won't let it go easily."
Qingfu County Master was of course angry, but she was angry only because her face was trampled on, not because the mother asked for justice for her daughter. Qingfu had just appeared, and several maids in the room had already looked over, trying to prevent people from making trouble. Princess Qingfu quickly calmed down. Her son was still young, so it was unnecessary to offend Mrs. Cheng for Cheng Yujin's adopted daughter.
Qing Fu gave Ruan Shi a stern look, and brought the maid into the room, standing outside the cubicle to listen to what was said inside.
Mrs. Huo Xue and Mrs. Cheng are playing Tai Chi, and Mrs. Huo Xue is asked to tell her that she is not willing to do this marriage. Naihe's son learned that she violated the yin and yang, and directly said that he would come to the Cheng family to ask the Cheng family to marry the second lady. Only then did the Huo Xue family panic, so she had to appease Huo Chang Yuan, pinching her nose to propose marriage.
Huo Xue's evaluation of Cheng Yumo went to the next level. Zhang Yuan had been good before, and trusted her mother wholeheartedly. As a result, he went to a Buddhist temple and suddenly his attitude changed greatly. It's strange that there are no ghosts here!
Huo Xue's secretly scolded Cheng Yumo, this little goblin is a good way to confuse Zhang Yuan and his mother! Cheng Yumo dared to do this before she even entered the door. When she got married in the future, she would use her coquettish methods to entangle Huo Chang Yuan every day. Would that be okay
Huo Xue was unwilling in his heart, and his attitude was not very enthusiastic. Mrs. Cheng had the intention to continue the marriage contract between the two governments, but the woman wanted to be expensive, so she had to withdraw her sister's appointment with her sister, and let Mrs. Cheng take the initiative. She really couldn't hold her face. Mrs. Cheng thought that if Huo Xue's family was more attentive and showed her favor in every possible way, she pushed back two rounds with a cold face, and she was able to answer with half push and half on the spot. Unexpectedly, Huo Xue didn't even bother to pretend, and Mrs. Cheng was very embarrassed.
The scene was cold for a while, Mrs. Quan Fu originally took this talk in front of Huo Chang Yuan's own eyes, but I didn't expect that neither of the two families were enthusiastic, and it didn't look like they were going to marry.
The big family has a good face and pays much attention to it. Before the official proposal, it is always necessary for both parties to confirm that important matters are properly communicated before they can send a matchmaker to the door with great fanfare. There are only royal concubines in the world who are sent directly to the door by envoys. However, it is easy to be discovered when the man's parents visit the door, so an extra person from Quanfu said in it that even if the marriage fails, there will be excuses in the future.
Mrs. Quanfu murmured in her heart that the woman had to put on airs when talking about marriage. She understood that Mrs. Cheng's cold face could barely explain it, but what happened to Mrs. Huo Xue's appearance of seeing the enemy? Mrs. Quanfu was perplexed, and she could only hear her deliberately lively chattering in the room.
The atmosphere in the room gradually became stagnant. At this time, a shout suddenly came from outside the window: "Miss, ma'am, you must not..."
Mrs. Cheng was shocked, and her face immediately pulled down. She turned her head with a gloomy face, and saw Cheng Yujin walking across the threshold with a solemn face. The old woman on both sides was anxious and ashamed. She tried to pull Cheng Yujin back several times, but was stopped by Forsythia and other maids. Seeing that Mrs. Cheng had found out, they quickly knelt on the ground: "Old lady, the servants stopped the eldest girl, but the eldest girl won't listen."
Mrs. Cheng's face was so dark that water could drip. Mrs. Quanfu did not expect this, and turned around to look at the main hall: "What's wrong?"
What else can Mrs. Cheng say, she can only pretend that nothing has happened and ask, "Miss, I have a guest here, what are you doing here?"
There was a hint of oppression in Mrs. Cheng's voice, and until this moment, she still wanted to whitewash peace.
Cheng Yujin also smiled docilely and respectfully, and said, "I know my grandmother has guests. I came here today to say hello to the distinguished guests." Then she said, "Hello, Mrs. Zhou."
Mrs. Quanfu's surname was Zhou, and she was well-deserved of her reputation. The eldest lady of the Cheng family really had a first-class appearance and demeanor. But... Mrs. Quan Fu glanced at Huo Xue Shi, a little embarrassed.
The two were sitting side by side, but Cheng Yujin only said hello to one of them, Huo Xue's face was obviously ugly. She glanced at Mrs. Cheng and sneered, "Is this the rules of the Cheng family?"
Cheng Yujin rushed before Mrs. Cheng spoke and stopped her: "Of course our Cheng family's rules are very good. From the wife to the maid, everyone is a respectful person. However, a gentleman pays attention to etiquette in doing things, and repays grievances with virtue. Why repay virtue? The Huo family is not benevolent to the Cheng family, and we don't have to abide by the rules of the saints. If you laugh at it, please forgive Mrs. Zhou for one or two. "
Mrs. Zhou looked at Cheng Yujin and Huo Xue's family, rolled up her sleeves with great interest, shut up and watched the play.
Huo Xue was so angry that she couldn't help pointing at Cheng Yujin and scolded: "Full of nonsense! Which point of your current behavior is in line with women's morals and women's words?"
"Then the Hof people might as well tell me, what did I do wrong?" Cheng Yujin stared at Huo Xue's, not dodging, but Huo Xue didn't dare to face Cheng Yujin's eyes for a while.
Cheng Yujin looked back coldly, Shi Shiran pursed her lips and smiled at Mrs. Zhou, and said, "Mrs. Zhou is laughing. I must have heard about the divorce between Marquis Jingyong and I before. Mrs. Zhou is the most just person. Today, in front of my wife, I will explain the whole story clearly. I found Jingyonghou in a coma on the snowy mountain last December, and I stayed there for a long time. I have been taught by my grandmother and mother since I was a child to do good deeds and be virtuous, and to be sympathetic to the poor and the weak. After I rescued the Marquis Jingyong, I never thought of anything in return, and the Cheng family never asked for the Marquis Jingyong’s mansion. , said that the Huo family wanted to get connected with the family in return for my life-saving grace. My grandmother felt sorry for me and wanted to have a good relationship, so she agreed to marry me and Huo Houye. Unexpectedly, in February this year, the elders of my family When I was still ill, the Hof people came to the door and said that Mr. Huo was suddenly dissatisfied with me and wanted to break off the marriage with me. Mrs. Zhou has witnessed many marriages. Come and comment, who did it wrong? "
Mrs. Zhou was silent. She did hear about the news that Jingyong Hou and the eldest Miss Cheng family had withdrawn from their marriage some time ago. When it happened, many people were envious, but they broke it up suddenly. Everyone was surprised. The speculation spread everywhere. This kind of thing is always a woman's disadvantage. These days, outsiders' speculation about Miss Cheng is really not good.
Mrs. Zhou originally only listened to the excitement, but today she realized that there is a reason why the eldest daughter of the Cheng family is famous in the capital. Her articulation is really clever. Although her words were long, they were coherent, and the causes and consequences were clearly displayed. Mrs. Zhou was an outsider, and after hearing it, she felt that the Huo family went too far.
Huo Xue was not as eloquent as Cheng Yujin, and was robbed in succession, and he had long been suffocated. Now that I finally saw the opportunity, I said loudly: "Ridiculous! It's clearly you who impersonated and deliberately grabbed the credit, and my son couldn't bear to break off the marriage with you."
"The first time Lord Huohou woke up, I said that I was the eldest girl of Yichun Houfu, the daughter of the master of Qingfu County. Later, the one who carried Lord Huo down the mountain was also my mother's servant. The people from Hof understood clearly. So, where am I impersonating? Where am I taking credit?"
"The saving grace is clearly not you..."
Cheng Yujin smiled, she bowed to Mrs. Zhou, and asked, "Mrs. Zhou, you said, I found Mr. Huo Hou in the cave, and there was no one around him at the time, so I asked someone to carry him to Zhuangzi. A life-saving grace?"
Mrs. Zhou looked at Cheng Yujin, who was always on the move and polite, and then looked at Huo Xue, who was angry and distorted, and sighed: "Of course it counts."
Cheng Yujin showed a slight smile, which was concealed almost instantly. She finally met Huo Xue's eyes, and said slowly and clearly: "Huo people, did you hear me, I have never been sorry for the Huo family, you have always been slandering me, and now you are bashing the savior! Huo! Marquis is a treasure in your heart, but in my eyes, he is no different from other men in the world. I don't owe you anything, and I, Cheng Yujin, never married him. Huo Changyuan went back on his promises, treating marriage as a child's play, and being arrogant. , I have nothing to say when such a person blames me for being unlucky. But Hof people, you have to remember that this marriage contract is wrong with you. It is a mistake to propose a marriage without finding out the truth; This is the second mistake; after breaking off the marriage, I slandered my reputation everywhere and blamed me for all the faults, this is the third mistake; knowing that I offended the Cheng family, but also coming to the door to decide the ex-wife and sister, provoking sisterhood, this is the fourth mistake.”
After Cheng Yujin finished speaking, she thought about all four, so she just made up the whole thing, so she quickly continued: "You admit the wrong person, you refuse to admit it, and you turn to frame the savior and take the credit. This is five mistakes. You have to break off the marriage. Just break off the marriage, but can't step on my reputation, always doing this kind of thing will be punished by heaven."
Cheng Yujin's words were loud, and after speaking, the whole room was silent, and they all looked at her blankly. Huo Xue's eyes were dizzy from a series of numbers, and his mind was full of one, two, three, four and five, and he couldn't react at all. After Cheng Yujin finished scolding the Huo family, she politely bowed to everyone: "Mrs. Zhou, grandmother, I will retire first."
Mrs. Zhou subconsciously asked: "Then about the marriage between Hou Jingyong and Miss Er..."
"It's all his fault, and I can do nothing. When I meet such a former fiancé, I admit that I am unlucky. As for who Huo Houye wants to marry later, the little girl doesn't care." Cheng Yujin smiled softly after saying that, and then said Dignifiedly turned around and left.
When going out, Cheng Yujin saw Cheng Yumo's white face, standing at the door timidly: "Sister..."
Cheng Yujin kept walking as if he didn't see this person. After Cheng Yujin passed through her, Cheng Yumo's face turned pale again.
After Cheng Yujin left, everyone was still stunned. After listening to Cheng Yujin's words, Mrs. Zhou also felt that it was all the man's fault to break off the marriage. What's especially inauthentic is that even if the marriage is terminated, she has to step on the woman's reputation, deny Cheng Yujin's life-saving grace, and say that she pretended to take credit.
Huo Chang Yuan looked fine from the outside, but in private he was such a person
Qing Fu was very happy listening to the scolding just now, she followed Cheng Yujin's momentum and glanced at Ruan's yin and yang strangely: "Since getting engaged, the eldest girl has done nothing wrong, but she has been stigmatized in vain. , Since Lord Huo has taken a fancy to the second room girl, if Yu Jin is an elder sister, can she still compete with her younger sister?"
After he finished speaking, Qing Fuyou couldn't understand his resentment, so he deliberately waved his fan and said, "Second brother and sister are also true, if you like Lord Huo Hou, you should say it directly when you are discussing marriage, you have to wait for the wedding of the eldest girl. Okay, the marriage certificate has been issued, and you are working hard behind the scenes. Now you have got your wish, but you are happy, but the eldest girl has been dismissed from the marriage. Tell me, is this a human thing? "
Mrs. Cheng's face was ugly when Cheng Yujin came in, but she knew that Cheng Yujin was measured, and a family woman's reputation was linked together. People are not afraid of Cheng Yujin saying that Cheng Yumo does not follow the way of women. During this time, Mrs. Cheng asked the maid who was in the villa that day, knowing that Cheng Yumo had disappeared overnight, and the next day Cheng Yujin went up the mountain to look for the second girl, only to bump into Huo Changyuan by chance. Putting it all together, and combining with Huo Chang Yuan's attitude, Mrs. Cheng roughly guessed what happened.
However, Cheng Yumo's innocence was ruined no matter what. She couldn't marry Huo Chang Yuan, so she had to hang herself. The fact that Cheng Yumo and Huo Chang Yuan stayed together for one night can only be rotten in the hearts of the parties involved. Once they say it, all the women in the Cheng family will be ruined, and they will never be able to talk about their marriages again. Cheng Yujin, as the eldest sister, is the first to bear the brunt.
Cheng Yujin is very smart, and Mrs. Cheng admires her the most. Even if her own sister did this kind of thing, Cheng Yujin was not carried away by anger, but always targeted the Huo family with reason and blamed all the faults on the Huo family. The Huo family is ungrateful, and as a victim, Cheng Yujin is of course the most pitiful and innocent.
Mrs. Cheng finally acquiesced to Cheng Yujin's actions. Mo'er's innocence has been lost, and she must marry the Huo family. It would be good to take this opportunity to suppress the enthusiasm of the Huo family. But Mrs. Cheng didn't expect that with Cheng Yujin at the beginning, Qingfu took advantage of Cheng Yujin's victory, and started to be yin and yang strange as soon as she came up, mocking Ruan with all her strength. Mrs. Cheng didn't want outsiders to see the Cheng family's jokes, she coughed lowly, and Qing Fu and Ruan Shi suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Mrs. Cheng looked at Mrs. Zhou and said, "Mrs. Zhou, please take a trip. Letting you see this kind of thing is really incapable of discipline."
Mrs. Zhou smiled: "Where."
"Since Mrs. Zhou has seen it, and the old body is no longer covered, I might as well tell you straight. The Huo family had previously booked the eldest girl, but inexplicably broke off the engagement, and now she proposes to the second girl. Which girl can stand this kind of thing? Insulting, it is understandable for the eldest girl to seek justice. Today, in front of Mrs. Zhou, I made it clear to the people from Hof that my Cheng family is not the Lord Huo. Come on. If not, then let it go. It is better to let both granddaughters twist their hair and be sister-in-law for the rest of their lives, rather than being trampled on the soles of their feet and humiliated. It is also good for them to come clean and go clean. ."
"What are you talking about, old lady!" When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she hurriedly said, "How come things have reached this point? Since the Hof people came to the door, they must want to marry this family. Hof people, you Say yes?"
Huo Xue thought that all the good and bad words have been said by you, she has become a pure evil mother-in-law, what else can I say? However, in front of Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Huo Xue didn't dare to tear her face, she could only smile reluctantly: "Mrs. Zhou is right, of course I sincerely asked to marry the second girl of your house for my son."
"That's good." Mrs. Cheng said, "As for the specific sincerity, you can talk about it next time. See you off."
Huo Xue clenched her teeth when she heard this, what sincerity, Mrs. Cheng clearly took the opportunity to ask for a high price dowry! Huo Xue hated it very much. When she saw Cheng Yumo when she went out, she felt extremely dazzling.
The troublemaker, before entering the door, has already helped her mother's family calculate her husband's family, which is really good.
Cheng Yumo originally salutes Huo Xue with sincerity. She had a normal relationship with Huo Xue in the previous life, but Huo Xue is Chang Yuan's mother after all. Cheng Yumo is reborn and wants to get along with her mother-in-law from the beginning. She never thought that Huo Xue's eyes glared at her with such disgusting eyes.
First her sister turned a blind eye, and later her mother-in-law took out her anger. Tears welled up in Cheng Yumo's eyes. She furrowed her brows thinly, looked at Ruan Shi, and shouted helplessly, "Mother..."
Nguyen Ruan also saw Huo Xue's attitude towards her daughter. She couldn't help but feel sad. She was hated by her mother-in-law just after she got engaged.
Mrs. Cheng sat in the house for a long time. She heard the cry of the mother and daughter of the second room outside the house, sighed, and said, "The second child, come in."
Then he said, "I'm tired. I'll take the eldest wife back. You guys can go out too."
When Qing Fu was sent out, she taunted Nguyen well, but she was satisfied. The maid stepped out and closed the door gently.
There were only Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Ruan and Cheng Yumo left in the room. After closing the door, the room was gloomy and gloomy. Cheng Yumo was inexplicably frightened. This did not happen in her previous life. She instinctively feared this scene. It was as if something had changed from here.
Mrs. Cheng asked, "Second girl, do you really want to marry the Marquis Jingyong?"
Cheng Yumo calmed down, thinking that in her previous life, she managed to achieve a positive result with Chang Yuan, but she died of illness after a few years of happiness. In this life, of course, she will continue to live with Zhang Yuan.
Cheng Yumo calmed down, bowed his head and said, "Yes."
"Have you figured it out?"
Why did Mrs. Cheng ask her that? Cheng Yumo didn't understand Madam Cheng's intention. She even thought Madam Cheng's words were strange. How could she curse the newcomer like this? She secretly pouted, and said more and more firmly: "I've figured it out, I'm willing."
The vague hope in Ruan's eyes disappeared, and Madam Cheng also sighed. Now that the Cheng family and the Huo family are in such a commotion, Cheng Yujin is by no means willing to suffer, she will definitely let all the faults fall on the Huo family. Huo Xue said that Cheng Yujin was not. She was so angry that she could have a good face towards Cheng Yumo
It's a pity that Cheng Yumo couldn't even understand such a simple truth. The same twin sisters, her brain is far from Cheng Yujin's.
Mrs. Cheng has already given Cheng Yumo a chance. Since she is willing, so do what she wants.
Cheng Yumo vaguely noticed that her grandmother agreed, but she didn't understand why such a happy event, and her grandmother sighed. Mrs. Cheng sighed with emotion for a while, and her tone suddenly became cold and hard: "Second girl, you are a girl's family, I will give you face, and you will never mention this matter again after you leave this door. But you must know that you are innocent. Lost, the road after marriage is much harder than others, and your family can only protect you here, and whether you can live well in the future depends on your own abilities."
Cheng Yumo didn't understand what Mrs. Cheng was talking about, but when she heard "innocence has been lost", her face suddenly turned bloody.
She bit her lip in embarrassment: "Grandma..."
"Don't worry, it's about the reputation of the Cheng family's daughters. I won't mention this to anyone again."
Cheng Yumo was a little relieved. She didn't know what she was thinking, and asked, "What about my sister? Will my grandmother tell my sister?"
"Big girl?" Madam Cheng sneered, looking at Cheng Yumo with sympathy in her eyes, "Do you think you can hide it from her? She already knew it."
Cheng Yumo seemed as if someone had poured a basin of ice water on her face, her face was pale, and her hands and feet were cold.
Even though Mrs. Cheng suppressed the news, the news that the Huo family came to propose marriage to Cheng Yumo spread throughout the whole house like long legs. Bringing some rosy news is a topic that idlers like to talk about the most, but this time it also involves the two young ladies of the Hou Mansion, and the broken-mouthed women are even more happy to chew in private.
Although the Huo family took all the fault of the divorce on themselves, and sent an apology gift to Cheng Yujin, the good people are still rumored in private, saying that Lord Huo originally ordered a big girl, but the big girl is dignified like a tree. Beauty, Huo Houye thought it was boring, so he turned to marry the second lady. Cheng Yujin is so perfect that she is indifferent, and the servants fear her, respect her, and faintly jealous. Now that something has happened, of course people are holding up Cheng Yumo, who has no plan and ability.
Humanity is like that.
Forsythia became angry when she heard these rumors. In just a few days, she didn't know how many women who were talking behind their backs. Forsythia came back today, looking angry again, Cheng Yujin laughed when she saw it: "Why are you angry with them? They can hide behind their backs and talk about it, really capable, let them come to me, I'll see who Dare to say one more word."
This is true, Cheng Yujin is very majestic in the mansion, second only to Mrs. Cheng, even Qingfu can't compare. Those long-tongued women are like mice, they only dare to hide in the dark and revel, but when they really get to Cheng Yujin, they are too busy to curry favor.
Forsythia felt a little better, but still angry: "It's just that Jingyong Hou's house proposed marriage to the second girl, and they dared to say that about the girl, and they said that the girl was dull and boring, and she was not liked by Jingyong Hou, so Lord Huo Hou retired. I changed the two girls. I bah! It's clear that our girls don't look down on him, so how could he be the Huo family to pick and choose
Du Ruo hurriedly covered Forsythia's mouth, Cheng Yujin put away the smile on her face, and looked around vigilantly: "You're going to die? Don't say this again in the future."
Forsythia also knows the severity, but she just can't get over it. Forsythia suffocated for a while, and said: "Girl, you will definitely marry a very good husband in the future, so that all these jokers today will lick back what they said, word by word. "
Cheng Yujin burst out laughing, but Forsythia still looked serious. Several of their masters and servants were talking in the room, and suddenly a maid came running in outside. The maid's bun also fell apart, panting heavily: "Miss, the old lady asked you to hurry up, the palace will come to reward you!"
Cheng Yujin was surprised, is there a reward from the palace? During the non-year and non-festive seasons, is there anyone in the Cheng family in the palace, why would they suddenly send a reward? Cheng Yujin didn't dare to be careless, and immediately stood up and walked out.
When she arrived at the auditorium, the lobby of the Yichun Hou Mansion, which was only opened for weddings and funerals, was filled with people at the moment. When everyone saw her coming, they all gave way.
Through the gap between everyone, Cheng Yujin saw a yellow eunuch standing in the center of the hall.
Cheng Yujin calmed down, walked over unhurriedly, and saluted several people one by one: "Cheng Yujin, the minister and daughter, has seen her father-in-law. Please grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother. Second uncle, second aunt, and ninth uncle."
On such occasions, Mrs. Cheng didn't have the right to speak, so Mr. Cheng signaled to Cheng Yujin, "Get up quickly. Don't kneel down to give the order."
Cheng Yujin knelt down according to her words, and the eunuch in yellow gave her help, and asked with a smile, "Is this the eldest lady of the Cheng family?"
"It's a servant girl."
The eunuch in yellow gave him a quick glance. He lived in the palace, and he had seen many concubines and noble girls, and his eyes were very poisonous. Rao is so, when he saw Cheng Yujin walking over, his eyes lit up.
He thought to himself that the Cheng family is weak and useless, but this Miss Cheng has a good appearance and good manners. After a short while, the yellow-robed eunuch retracted his miscellaneous thoughts, bowed his hands to the north, and then recited: "The sage has spoken, I do not want to publicize my birthday, but the congratulatory gifts of the Yichun Houfu are unique, and I especially like the embroidered screen. I heard that this is the Houfu's residence. The eldest granddaughter embroidered with her own hands, did it herself, and did not waste the people and money. It is a model. Remembering that Cheng’s parents are young and sincere, and show off their wisdom, I will be rewarded with four pieces of cloud brocade, eight pieces of silk, and a set of gold embroidery tools.”
After the eunuch in yellow finished speaking, he copied his hands and said with a smile, "Miss Cheng, thank you."
Cheng Yujin has a steady heart, but even so, she was pushed a bit before she realized what happened. Cheng Yujin reacted and found that the imperial eunuch smiled at her, and the rest of the Cheng family were either envious, jealous, or regretful, and all knelt behind and looked at her. Among the many figures, Cheng Yujin saw Cheng Yuanjing at a glance. He was also in the crowd, his eyes were quiet, he raised his chin slightly to her, and motioned her to thank her quickly.
Cheng Yujin came back to her senses and bowed deeply to the ground: "I thank the emperor for your grace."
The rest of the Cheng family were in a complicated mood, especially Ruan Shi and Mrs. Cheng. They always felt that Cheng Yujin's marriage would be over, so they would rather offend Cheng Yujin than settle the marriage between Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yumo. Unexpectedly, it took so long before Cheng Yujin was praised by the emperor himself as a model for female family members.
Mrs. Cheng felt that her face was swollen.
