Cheng Yujin was sitting in the middle of the tree, drinking tea and looking at the new patterns this summer just sent by Xiu Zhuang. After a while, a plump woman in a dark green short jacket came in and kept looking inside. Cheng Yujin saw it and said, "Is she the nurse of the third young master? Come in."
The nanny walked to the top of the room with a smirk, and saluted Cheng Yujin: "The slave maid greets the eldest lady, Miss Jin An. The eldest lady looks so pretty today. The same gold-painted clothes on a white background make you look better than others."
Cheng Yujin was too lazy to pay attention to this kind of superficial flattery. She closed the booklet and glanced at the nurse: "What's the matter?"
The nanny laughed even more embarrassedly: "It was the third young master who woke up and refused to get up, so the slave servant came to ask the eldest wife for advice."
What time is it, and he still refuses to get up. Cheng Yujin smiled lightly and asked, "Why doesn't he want to get up?"
"Yesterday, the third young master saw that the prince of Cai Guogong's mansion was leading a very majestic and small dog. It was dark and dark, and there was no stray hair. The young master liked it and wanted to have one. I was thinking about it yesterday, and I still miss it today. …”
Cheng Yujin laughed, it turned out that she wanted to raise a hound, so she was threatening him here. Cheng Yujin waved Du Ruo over, pointed at several patterns in the booklet, and said, "Tell Jinxiu Village that the majestic red yarn is made of four horse-face skirts, lined with rouge silk, the top is made of white woven gold cloud brocade, and the sleeves of pipa. , with a stand-up collar and an inch at the waist. The neckline is embroidered with branches and leaves, and the color matching is brighter."
Cheng Yujin pointed out a few more tricks, each with a different emphasis. Du Ruo wrote them down one by one, while the nurse listened to them, her face could not help embarrassing.
The nurse was left to the side, she tried to interject several times, but couldn't find a chance. Du Ruo memorized Cheng Yujin's instructions, walked out holding the album, and glanced at the nanny when he went out.
The nanny was finally able to speak: "Eldest girl, where is the third young master..."
"It's because of his embarrassment that he can't get up for three days in the sun." Cheng Yujin said, "If you don't remember, don't get up. My father is here today. If he is not afraid of being scolded by his father, he can lie on the bed as much as possible."
The nanny had a bitter face when she heard it. If the princess of Qingfu was sitting here at the moment, she would have called out her sweetheart to coax Cheng Enbao to get up. But it was Cheng Yujin, whose tone remained the same, and said lightly to let him continue to lie down.
The nurse was embarrassed: "However, the third young master is very angry. If he is angry with himself, I am afraid that the wife will blame him when he comes back."
"Mother is also blaming me if you want to blame me. You just do it." Cheng Yujin didn't even bother to give alms out of the corner of her eyes, and said coldly, "Go back and tell him the original words, that your mother went to take care of your grandfather, and if he doesn't get up again, I'll go and invite him in person. he."
The nanny Nuonuo should be, and slipped out. After a while, Du Ruo was hit hard by someone as soon as he came back from the outside. Du Ruo held his waist in pain, and when he turned around, he saw that Cheng Enbao had a gold-inlaid jade forehead belt on his head.
As soon as Cheng Enbao entered the door, he started to make a fuss. Cheng Enbao was the middle-aged son of the Lord of Qingfu County. Qingfu was the only seedling, and he was so favored on weekdays that no one in the back house dared to say a word about this golden bean. Cheng Enbao relied on his father to ignore it, and his mother doted on him, and he caused many troubles on weekdays. Today it is again, seeing that the young prince of Cai Guogong's mansion has a hunting dog, he also wants it, and Sapo rolls around to ask for something.
Cheng Enbao made a big noise: "Mother, Zhai Qing has a dog, and I want it too!"
When the maids of Qingfu County saw Cheng Enbao, they hurriedly stepped forward to coax them. Qingfu's dowry maids shouted to their hearts: "Third Young Master, you haven't put on your coat yet, so be careful of catching a cold! Go and get it for Third Young Master. Here comes the coat!"
With the maids coaxing, Cheng Enbao made the noise even more. He shouted for a long time, but he didn't hear the coaxing voice of his familiar mother. As soon as he turned around, he saw the door of the cubicle, Cheng Yujin was standing coldly looking at him.
Cheng Yujin looked at Cheng Enbao's troubles with a cold eye, and didn't have the slightest intention to do anything. Seeing that Cheng Enbao was quiet, she said lightly, "Is it over?"
Seeing that it was Cheng Yujin, Cheng Enbao's confidence disappeared in half, and he reluctantly looked inside: "Where's my mother?"
"Mother and father went to take care of grandfather. After calculating the time, it's time to come back." Cheng Yujin glanced at Cheng Enbao and said, "Mother hates cats and dogs the most. You should rest as soon as possible. If you are not afraid of letting your father see your current appearance, you can continue to make a fuss. Let go and let the third young master lie on the ground. "
Cheng Enbao rolled on the ground, and all the maids knelt on the ground to support him, for fear that the ancestor would catch a cold. Hearing Cheng Yujin's words, the maids looked at each other in dismay, but their fear of Cheng Yujin prevailed and slowly let go.
Cheng Enbao couldn't get up or down, so he couldn't get off the stage immediately. He scratched his neck and shouted, "I want to raise a small dog, and my mother loves me the most. If you scold me, be careful when my mother comes back and I will tell my mother!"
Cheng Yujin smiled lightly, she didn't bother to look at him, she turned around and walked in. When the maids and wives saw it, they hurriedly persuaded: "Third young master, the eldest miss is for your own good, get up quickly!"
Cheng Enbao was used to being followed, how could he bear this kind of anger, he immediately lay on the ground and rolled, kicking and kicking: "I don't care about me, Zhai Qing has a fine dog, I want it too!"
The maids looked embarrassed and hurried to stop Cheng Enbao, Qingfu's dowry maid even more distressed tears came out: "Miss, since the young master likes it, if you talk to your wife, the wife may agree. "
Cheng Yujin stopped, turned around and glanced at everyone slowly, the noisy room suddenly quieted down, the maid knelt on the ground, and no one dared to speak. Cheng Yujin retracted her eyes and looked at Cheng Enbao condescendingly: "Zhai Shizi keeps hounds, that is Cai Guogong's business, and has nothing to do with our Yichun Houfu. You can either get up and change your clothes now, or continue to lie on the ground, no one will stop you."
After Cheng Yujin finished speaking, she looked at the maids and said, "You have nothing to do?"
The maids gave Cheng Enbao an embarrassed look, complied in a low voice, and slowly dispersed. Cheng Enbao saw that no one was following him, and he couldn't make trouble. The nurse took the opportunity to step forward and pick him up and go back to change clothes.
Seeing Forsythia and the maid winking her eyes, Cheng Enbao is the only one who respects me and acts willfully, but Qingfu County Master is ignorantly pampering her. However, the eldest girl doesn't like his tricks. Look, isn't this obedient
Forsythia said, the bear children are used by adults, but if they are replaced by big girls, let's see if they dare.
After entering the room, Cheng Yujin asked Du Ruo, "Are you okay?"
Du Ruo hurriedly shook his head: "It's okay, slaves often work, with rough skin and thick flesh, and very strong bones. How old is the third young master, if you accidentally bump it, what can happen."
Cheng Yujin saw Du Ruo's movements, and did not expose her, but instructed: "Go back in a while, take a bottle of ointment and rub it, and you don't have to do heavy work for the next two days."
Du Ruo was moved and knew that it was useless to talk too much, so he could only bow his head and say gratefully: "Thank you girl."
It was almost noon when the county master of Qingfu came back with an angry look. Not long after, Cheng Yuanxian also came back, and as soon as he entered the door, he scolded: "Eating inside and outside, ungrateful! If you are not promising, you will stare at other people's things. Ten years later, he was still a sesame petty official, and he was still pretentious like this, saying that his family didn't have any money to manage it, which delayed his future. Bah, just rely on him, and don't look at how much he weighs!"
Cheng Yuanxian became more and more angry. He went to ask for something from Lord Cheng today, but was heard by the second room and stabbed. Cheng Yuanxian is still very angry when he thinks about it now, and he can't help cursing: "I can't stand them for a long time, and when I look at their usual demeanor, they always have a drooping face, pitiful, and they look like they have been let down. It's as if I owe them something! If you didn't want to adopt it at the beginning, don't adopt it, but now who can you show your aggrieved face? Oh, who do you think is rare!"
The maid didn't dare to let out the air after hearing it, and they all bowed their heads as if they couldn't hear. When Qingfu County Master heard the frown, he gently pulled Cheng Yuanxian's sleeve and winked at him: "Master, calm down, sit down and have a cup of tea first."
"What kind of tea to drink!" Cheng Yuanxian impatiently threw the hand of the Qingfu County Master away and shouted, "Second room is not righteous, so no one will tell me? Longsheng, dragon and mouse, Cheng Yuanhan's heart is evil, and the root is black. Yes, none of their family is a good thing."
After Cheng Yuanxian finished speaking, there was no sound in the room for a long time. Cheng Yuanxian was feeling strange when he suddenly heard a soft knock on the door. Cheng Yuanxian turned back and saw Cheng Yujin standing at the door of Shaojian, smiling and saying hello to Cheng Yuanxian: "Father, mother, you are back."
Cheng Yuanxian turned around and saw a girl like a painting standing at the door, and then slowly realized that Cheng Yujin was still there, and she was also Cheng Yuanhan's child. He scolded the second room just now, completely in front of Cheng Yujin.
Cheng Yuanxian was a little embarrassed, but Cheng Yujin smiled the same, as if he didn't hear it at all. Cheng Yuanxian couldn't get over his face, and hurriedly sent Cheng Yujin: "It's none of your business here, you go back first."
"Yes." Cheng Yujin saluted Cheng Yuanxian and the master of Qingfu County, "Daughter retire."
After returning to the Jinning Courtyard, Forsythia complained, "It's true that the uncle was arguing with his brother, why did he implicate our girl? The wife is also, knowing that the girl is inside, she still doesn't say anything and just listens to herself. "
Cheng Yujin glanced at the back lightly, and Forsythia didn't dare to say any more. Cheng Yujin looked back and asked, "Have the food boxes been delivered?"
Du Ruo replied, "I just sent it away, and the servants watched it in person."
Cheng Yujin nodded, she sat on the chair and sipped her tea lightly: "Then just wait."
In the Fuli Courtyard, everyone had been gone for a long time, but Old Marquis Cheng still felt a pain in his head from the noise. Just now, Cheng Yuanxian came over to shout that Old Marquis Cheng was partial. After a while, the couple in the second room heard the movement and ran over too. They were all afraid that the other party would get the benefits first, and they ended up being blocked in the room together, making a fuss. One of the two daughters-in-law claimed to be a hero, saying that she had been in charge of the Hou Mansion for so many years, and the other cried out that she couldn't even protect her own daughter.
In short, they are not fuel-efficient lamps, and Mr. Cheng was so upset by their arguing.
He was not in good health originally, and after being quarreled by his sons and daughters-in-law for a while, his eyes turned black. In the end, Lord Cheng was really low on energy and fell asleep. Only then did Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Yuanhan agree to stop, and each went back angrily.
The maid gave Old Marquis Cheng the medicine and stayed in the house for an afternoon, until the night fell, and Old Marquis Cheng woke up leisurely.
After Mr. Cheng woke up, he opened his eyes and looked at the empty room, and asked, "Where are the eldest and the second?"
The servant girl who served said in a low voice, "The uncle and the second master went back first when they saw that the master fell asleep."
Old Marquis Cheng had a wry smile on his lips, and he went back, a good one.
He moved, struggling to get up from the quilt. The maid hurriedly helped Mr. Cheng to sit down. Mr. Cheng was panting heavily. He saw a three-tiered food box on the table and asked, "What is this?"
"This was sent by the eldest girl. When the eldest girl's personal maid came over, she saw that Lord Hou was still asleep and did not dare to wake the Lord, so she put down the food box and left. The maid specially left a message before she left, saying that there was a large The medicated meal cooked by the girl herself, there is a small stove under the food box that is always warm, and the Hou Ye can drink it when he wakes up."
As the maid said, a blue and white porcelain Gu was brought out from the top layer of the food box. Lord Cheng felt more complicated after seeing it. His son was thinking about his legacy before he died, while his granddaughter, who never paid attention, was thinking about his illness instead. Knowing that he could not digest well, he made a medicated meal specially, and kept it warm with a small stove, so as not to drink cold soup and hurt his stomach.
Old Marquis Cheng sighed, staring at the delicate blue and white on the porcelain Gu, he couldn't help being a little lost. He didn't know what to think, and asked, "How old is the eldest girl this year?"
"The two girls are the same age, fourteen this year."
"It's fourteen years old, and it's time to get a hairpin in another year." Mr. Cheng lay on his back on the pillow and sighed, "It's time to talk about the husband's family. If the fourteenth or five-year-old can't be booked, it will be better when you get older. It's hard to say kiss. The two girls are already engaged, and they will be settled for the rest of their lives. Only the eldest girl has been delayed by the divorce. Now high-level people are picky, and we don't look down on low-level marriages. It's really difficult. "
After Mr. Cheng finished speaking, he also sighed with emotion, she was obviously a girl who did everything right, but she ended up in such an embarrassing situation because her husband broke off the marriage. Lord Cheng felt even more embarrassed when he remembered that she had embroidered the prince's birthday speeches.
Old Marquis Cheng sighed deeply. He glanced at the delicate blue-and-white porcelain again, and his heart gradually became biased.
"Come on, open the hidden compartment."
When everyone in the Cheng family heard the news, they rushed to the Fuli Courtyard. When Cheng Yujin came over, Mrs. Cheng, Princess Qingfu and others were already there. She saluted Qingfu, then walked to Mrs. Cheng's side, and helped Mrs. Cheng to sit down: "Grandma, why did you suddenly call everyone over at night?"
Mrs. Cheng's face was heavy, and she said, "Your grandfather said that the family property will be divided."
Cheng Yujin's brows moved slightly. At this time, an old servant came out, bowed to the crowd, and said, "Old madam, uncle, madam, please come to the prince."
