Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Chapter 35: Status

Views:

Cheng Yujin didn't expect Xu Zhixian to call out, she was a little stunned.

Cheng Yujin always felt that Xu Zhixian was just a child, and he showed whether he liked it or not, and only obeyed his own preferences in doing things. Of course, such a person would not be the type that Cheng Yujin likes, but in the face of marriage, liking is nothing, as long as she has money and status, it is enough.

So at the very beginning, Cheng Yujin did consider Xu Zhixian. He is gentle and affectionate, frank and natural, and can be low and small, Cheng Yujin can easily be compatible with him downwards. If Cheng Yujin really marries Xu Zhixian, she is completely sure that she will manage Xu Zhixian obediently in the future, and she can live a very comfortable married life in the future.

But such comfort comes at the expense of future prospects. Cheng Yujin always felt that Xu Zhixian liked Cheng Yumo more, and the maids who played well with him were all charming and cute, but Cheng Yujin was not.

As long as she stands there, she has the aura of her elder sister, which is incompatible with her cousins of the same age. So Cheng Yujin never thought that Xu Zhixian would like her.

From a man's point of view, like a woman.

Now that she heard Xu Zhixian's words, she was stunned, and then smiled softly. Cheng Yujin still didn't believe Xu Zhixian's words, but he was willing to do this step, and Cheng Yujin was very satisfied.

The green leaves on both sides rustled, and the breeze passed by, as if the sun was also being blown by the wind. Cheng Yujin, wearing a plain white dress, first opened her eyes slightly to look at him, and then she couldn't help laughing.

Xu Zhixian couldn't help being a little ecstatic. Cheng Yujin used to laugh a lot in the past, but her smile was perfect and decent, and the arc was well scored, and she always looked at a distance. But now this time, it was like the beginning of sunshine after the rain, and the spring flowers were blooming, and she really laughed from the bottom of her heart.

It turns out that she looks so pretty when she smiles.

With a light smile on Cheng Yujin's face, she said, "Second cousin, I am very moved that you are willing to tell me this. But marriage is different from other things, the same ornaments, a cat and a dog don't like it, bear with it. It's okay to bear it, but the marriage is not good. I know you heard that I was divorced, and soon my second sister will marry Jingyong Hou. My aunt is worried that I will never be able to marry again, so you pity me and pity me, so I think Sacrifice your own marriage to marry me."

"I'm very grateful that you have this heart, but it's not necessary. You don't owe me, and your aunt doesn't owe me. There's no need to aggrieve yourself for me. After getting married, you will spend most of your life together. I know you don't like me like this. A woman with a temperament, cats and dogs don't like to endure it and pass it, but how can you endure the day and night compared to people who have been for forty or fifty years?" Cheng Yujin said, restraining her smile, and gave Xu Zhixian a salute, saying , "Thank you cousin for your kindness, but I don't need it. These words are related to the reputation of Cheng and Xu. I hope the second cousin will stop talking about it in the future."

After Cheng Yujin finished speaking, she walked forward. The light and dark were intertwined, and the greenery was reflected on her body, and she soon disappeared. Xu Zhixian stood behind alone, staring blankly at the direction Cheng Yujin was leaving, and did not move for a long time.

In fact, this is not the direction Cheng Yujin wants to go, but Xu Zhixian is behind. In order to avoid him, Cheng Yujin can only go in the front direction, planning to go around the outer courtyard first, and then take another way back to the back house.

After Cheng Yujin walked down from the pergola corridor, she suddenly saw a person standing in front of the Moon Gate. Her expression paused, disbelieving: "Lin Bianxiu? Why are you here?"

Lin Qingyuan was also very embarrassed. He was on good terms with Cheng Yuanjing, and he naturally wanted to come to the door to express condolences when Mr. Cheng passed away. Just now, he stood here waiting for Cheng Yuanjing, but he didn't expect to hear such a scene of cousins.

The Cheng family's situation seems to be a little more complicated than he imagined. Lin Qingyuan always remembered Miss Cheng's family, but he did not expect that such a smart, beautiful and versatile woman would be troubled by marriage. Lin Qingyuan felt unbelievable and even more embarrassed. He quickly explained: "Miss, I am sorry to hear these facts. But I didn't mean to. I stood here early in the morning and waited... "

"I know." Cheng Yujin interrupted with a smile, "Of course I believe in Zhuangyuan Lin's character, I don't mind."

Of course she doesn't mind, how could she mind? She wished to be heard by Lin Qingyuan, and then had a good wave of goodwill and sympathy.

"That's good." Lin Qingyuan smiled and thoughtfully stopped asking about her daughter's private affairs. He hadn't seen anyone just now, but from the voice and the conversation, he could probably guess the beginning and the end. It's nothing more than that Miss Cheng was divorced, and she couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, and the marriage was delayed. But there are many children in the big family, Cheng Yujin slowed down here, and the younger brothers and sisters below were blocked. Listening to what she said just now, Miss Cheng's sister is going to get married soon, the other's mother is dissatisfied with Cheng Yujin blocking the way, and the family is anxious, the eldest Miss's aunt wants her son to marry Cheng Yujin.

It is not known what happened to Lin Qingyuan before this, but it is conceivable that the adults did not communicate with the juniors when making decisions, which led to misunderstandings. As a man, Lin Qingyuan could totally hear that the young man was sincere when he said that he wanted to marry Cheng Yujin, but Cheng Yujin didn't believe it, and he reprimanded him in turn.

King Xiang is intentional, the goddess is ruthless, and the goddess still doesn't believe the other party's intentions, it's just too miserable. Lin Qingyuan couldn't help sympathizing with Cheng Yujin's cousin. Although he had never met, Lin Qingyuan could just imagine how depressed his cousin would be when he was explicitly rejected by a girl like Cheng Yujin.

Lin Qingyuan accidentally bumped into this kind of thing. According to the principle, see no evil and listen to no evil. He should never mention it again. But Lin Qingyuan was really curious, he paused for a few breaths, but still couldn't help asking: "Miss Cheng, I have a question, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Cheng Yujin kept smiling and looked at Lin Qingyuan. She has calmly looked at Lin Qingyuan several times, and the more she looks, the more satisfied she becomes, from her family background, to herself, to her potential.

Cheng Yujin thought to herself, she was worrying about how she met Lin Qingyuan by chance, but she happened to see here that Cheng Yujin didn't want to talk to Lin Qingyuan more, how could she not talk about it inappropriately? Cheng Yujin said with a smile, "Lin Bianxiu is too polite. You are the champion, and your talents and character are first-class. What you said must be reasonable. If Bianxiu has any doubts, just say it directly."

After Cheng Yujin finished speaking, she said as if unintentionally, "You and my ninth uncle got close and helped me many times. It's too unfamiliar to always call you Lin Bianxiu. I don't know if the champion has a name?"

"Oh, of course." Lin Qingyuan said, "My name is Qingyuan, and I took the word for it from the elders of Guan Shi. The eldest miss will call me directly."

"How can I do that?" Cheng Yujin said with a smile, "I'm many years younger than you, and I don't have any grades. How can I call the title of champion? Why don't I call you Zhizhi brother?"

"Okay." Lin Qingyuan was informal and didn't care about these things. Cheng Yujin pursed her lips and smiled lightly after hearing this, and the curvature of her lips deepened.

To change a man's attitude, start by getting closer to the address. First brother Zhizhi, then brother Qingyuan, and then a little later, you can call Qingyuan directly.

Cheng Yujin is very satisfied with this progress.

After changing their names, it was really different. Lin Qingyuan originally only thought that Cheng Yujin called him Lin Bianxiu generously, as if he was entertaining guests. Lin Qingyuan also relaxed without realizing it, and asked, "Miss, let me ask something abrupt, you are young and beautiful, you know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, cooking skills, and exquisite double-sided embroidery, why would you want to marry someone? Troubled by human affairs? Also…”

The family was so anxious that they asked the cousin of the aunt's family to marry her. How did Cheng Yujin get to such a level

Cheng Yujin lowered her eyes when she heard this, and Lin Qingyuan quickly said, "I just asked casually. It was me who was abrupt, and the eldest lady doesn't have to answer."

Cheng Yujin looked up at Lin Qingyuan, lowered her head and sighed silently, not wanting to say anything, but looking at Lin Qingyuan's face, she couldn't help but talk: "Originally these things shouldn't be told to others, but except for Zhizhi's brother , I don't know who to ask for advice. Brother Zhizhi should have known that I was divorced. It turns out that Lord Huo likes my sister, and my second sister and I are twins. Later, Lord Huo found out that something was wrong, so he broke off the engagement with me and got engaged to my second sister. They have lovers and finally got married, and I, my sister, should have blessed them, but... I couldn't. "

Lin Qingyuan had probably guessed what happened later, and he sighed: "Miss Cheng..."

"Huohou Ye got his wish, I'm gratifying, but this world is so unfair to women, and the happy event for the two of them became my disaster. After my divorce, my reputation was damaged, and many people were worried that I had been with the Huo family Even though I have been engaged, I don’t want to propose marriage to me. Occasionally, a matchmaker comes to the house, and the people who come here are jealous of the Hou Mansion and fancy my dowry. Seeing that my second sister is getting married soon, if I don’t talk about my marriage, I will end up in the Hou Mansion. I wish I could stay in the Cheng family for the rest of my life and be filial to my parents, but in this way, the reputation of the Yichun Hou Mansion will be affected by me. It doesn't matter how I am, but I can't affect my parents and elders by making irresponsible remarks."

Lin Qingyuan was very touched, he did not expect that Cheng Yujin would face such a difficult situation. He originally thought that some women like Cheng Yujin are sought after by men, and they must not worry about marriage.

Lin Qingyuan remembered that Cheng Yujin was about the same age as his sister now. How angry would he be if his sister suffered this kind of thing? Lin Qingyuan couldn't help feeling pity for Cheng Yujin: "Miss Cheng, don't worry, you are smart, beautiful and capable, and your destination will not be bad in the future."

This is true. As a man, Lin Qingyuan knows how realistic a man is. Just based on Cheng Yujin's appearance, no one will let her go, and she is smart, capable, and versatile at the same time. No man will not be moved by such a perfect wife.

Cheng Yujin knew that it was enough, she had achieved her goal, so she did not continue to sell the poor. As long as Lin Qingyuan knew about her miserable situation, and he would emphasize it from time to time in the future, Lin Qingyuan would be moved by her sooner or later, and it would be bad if he was too eager. As for whether Lin Qingyuan married her out of love or pity, does it matter

Totally unimportant.

Cheng Yujin smiled and pretended to be strong: "Brother Zhizhi and I talk about what to do, let's talk about being happy. Brother Zhiyuan, where are you going?"

It was only when Lin Qingyuan remembered his purpose that he said, "I'm going to find Jing Xing's yard, and I put two books with him."

Cheng Yujin said: "It turned out to be looking for Jiu Shu. Jiu Shu's yard is not easy to find. Let me bring Zhizhi brother there."

Lin Qingyuan, of course, followed the host's request, and stretched out his hand to signal Cheng Yujin to go first: "Miss Lao is here."

Cheng Yujin smiled gently, thinking in her heart how she would quietly lead Lin Qingyuan around in a big circle. Such a rare opportunity to be alone cannot be missed.

Cheng Yujin planned the route, she and Lin Qingyuan walked through the garden side by side, talking while walking. Lin Qingyuan walked down the corridor, turned to Cheng Yujin and said, "Thank you, Miss, for leading the way, otherwise I really don't know where to go."

Cheng Yujin was about to say some hypocritical polite words, when she turned around the corridor, she suddenly encountered someone. The other party stood here, calm and unhurried: "I don't know how to get to my yard, why didn't you come and ask me?"
