Nguyen's face turned pale, and Madam Cheng glanced at her threateningly, as if deliberately reminding her, and said, "It's the most taboo thing to do when you don't know what to do. That's all. What I'm most afraid of is not knowing my identity, harming others and myself. The second child, do you understand?"
Nguyen understood the reminder behind Mrs. Cheng's back. Of course she understood that when she gave birth to twins, the old lady chose the stronger one for her sister-in-law. She was frail after giving birth and couldn't help thinking of her children. When she was crying, when she secretly went to see Cheng Yujin, but was ridiculed by Qingfu County Lord's mama, Ruan Shi understood this. Cheng Yujin was born to her, but she did not belong to her. Only Mo'er was completely devoted to her mother.
Later, when the two children grew up, Mo'er gradually became able to sit, crawl, walk, and speak. All of Ruan's mind was attracted to Cheng Yumo, and it was difficult to separate her energy from thinking about her eldest daughter. Later, there were two sons, Cheng Enci and Cheng Enbei, and the Ruan family couldn't take care of Cheng Yujin.
Only when Madam Cheng greeted her and saw Cheng Yujin following behind the Qingfu County Master, would Mrs. Ruan be surprised. Ah, it turns out that Cheng Yujin has grown so much.
Before she knew it, this girl had grown into something Ruan was completely unfamiliar with. She was well-behaved and sensible. Not at all.
Later, as the children grew up, it became more and more obvious that Cheng Yujin kept away from her peers. Mrs. Ruan often heard Mrs. Cheng praise Cheng Yujin in front of everyone, while Mo'er could only sit and listen, her eyes were lonely. This scene deeply stimulated the Ruan family. The Qingfu County Master was born higher than her and had more power to speak than her. Could it be that even the children raised are better than hers
Ruan's feelings for Cheng Yujin were too complicated, including pity, regret, remorse, indifference, anger, and jealousy. So Ruan Shi has been unable to face the fact that Cheng Yujin was adopted, and whenever she had the chance, she would talk to Cheng Yujin. Ruan wanted to make Cheng Yujin live well, but she was afraid that Cheng Yujin would live too well and surpass Cheng Yumo. More importantly, Cheng Yujin should not forget his father and mother, let alone fall in love with the woman Qingfu.
Every time Ruan saw Cheng Yujin, her emotional changes were subtle and complicated, but she never thought that Cheng Yujin would resent her or deny her mother. You must know that Ruan's brought Cheng Yujin into this world, what a kindness it was to give birth to her, how could Cheng Yujin not be filial? Even if Cheng Yujin was raised by others, she should still care about her biological parents wholeheartedly. When she grows up, she will recognize her ancestors and return to the clan and repay her parents and brothers. How could she be, and why should she not be close to her biological family
Mrs. Ruan was shocked by what she said, and Mrs. Cheng reminded her that it was commonplace, but Mrs. Ruan couldn't believe that Cheng Yujin thought the same way. She looked at Cheng Yujin, hoping to see a little embarrassment and depression on Cheng Yujin's face, but no, Cheng Yujin's expression was always calm, and she didn't even respond to Ruan's look.
Mrs. Cheng noticed Ruan's movements, her eyes narrowed, and she reminded again: "The second child, did you hear what I said just now?"
Mrs. Cheng's tone was already dangerous, and Mrs. Ruan was so frightened that she turned her head back and murmured, "Yes."
Mrs. Cheng was so angry at the daughter-in-law that she couldn't carry it, and the adoption was to change the incense. Regardless of etiquette and emotion, Cheng Yujin was the daughter of the Princess Qingfu. But Ruan's heart is not dead, and from time to time he comes forward to stir up a fight. Qingfu didn't like Cheng Yujin very much at first, and with Ruan's intervention, he couldn't get close to Cheng Yujin.
Mrs. Cheng thought that this was impossible. The eldest daughter-in-law had a distinguished status, and she would become Mrs. Hou in the future. Mrs. Cheng would rely on Qingfu County Lord for the rest of her life. No matter how much Mrs. Cheng feels for her younger son, she will not openly upset her eldest daughter-in-law.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cheng was even more determined to beat the Ruan family. She cleared her throat and said to the two people below: "The children and grandchildren are getting older, and it is difficult for parents to help. Now that the old marquis is gone, I think I will come soon. Life is impermanent, you can wear as much gold and silver jewelry as you like. , No matter how much delicacies of mountains and seas you eat, once you reach the bottom, everything is not empty. When you get older, you will see many things less and less, but it is not as good as a family full of children and grandchildren. Mammy Zhang, go and get the one at the bottom of the box. Dianluo in a red lacquer box with a black background."
Mammy Zhang was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Old Madam, you said that the lacquer box was your dowry? This lacquer box has been with you for more than 30 years. You clearly said that you will bring it into the ground in the future."
"I know." Mrs. Cheng said indifferently, "I am an old and dead twig, and what I bring to bury is different. It is rare to have a jade bracelet with good water color, so I should leave it to the younger generation for self-defense."
Ruan's expression changed as soon as she heard it. She knew that Mrs. Cheng had a pair of extremely precious jade bracelets. Ruan Shi and Qingfu County Master have been thinking about it for a long time. Listening to the meaning of Mrs. Cheng, is this going to be a reward
Nguyen couldn't help but have some expectations. Those who saw it had a share. Since Mrs. Cheng said these words in front of her, it was impossible not to give it to her. In any case, as a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ruan is more respectable than the granddaughter of Cheng Yujin.
Ruan shi watched Mammy Zhang come out from the inner room with a red carved lacquer box on a black background. Every time Mama Zhang took a step closer, Ruan shi's eyes lit up. When the box was delivered to Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng opened the lid with ease, and Mrs. Ruan's eyes almost came out of the frame, sticking to it.
Not to mention the contents inside, the craftsmanship of this lacquer box alone is already valuable. The wooden box was opened, and Mrs. Cheng turned the box over and placed it on the table. Immediately, the hall was full of radiance. It turned out that the lacquer box was covered with brocade, and a pair of jade bracelets were placed on it. Cheng Yujin has seen a lot of jade, but every piece she has seen over the years is inferior to the pair in front of her, and there is appreciation in Cheng Yujin's eyes.
Mrs. Cheng deliberately showed it to everyone to see clearly, she had a panoramic view of the amazing greed in the eyes of the people below, and then cleared her throat and said calmly: "This pair of bracelets is the pressure that my mother passed on to me. The treasure at the bottom of the box, this pair of bracelets alone is worth a thousand taels of gold. Jade nourishes people, but gold and silver can harm people. I originally planned to keep this pair of bracelets so that they would be more respectable when they were buried in the ground. The two sisters, the second girl, the longer the flowers, the prettier they are, I looked at my heart wide, and thought, why don't you pass this pair of jade bracelets to the eldest girl and the second girl, one for each sister, for a good omen."
Ruan Shi couldn't hide her excitement when she heard the half, and looked at her staring at the jade bracelet, as if she couldn't wait for Mrs. Cheng to finish speaking, and she wanted to put it in her arms immediately. However, Mrs. Cheng had a lot of power, so Nguyen could only endure the joy, restrained and wait for Mrs. Cheng to speak.
Cheng Yujin had an indescribable feeling. She had a hunch that she was going to be called by Mrs. Cheng again. Sure enough, after Mrs. Cheng said she was going to give it to the two sisters, she deliberately paused for a long time before slowly answering: "But the servants below reminded me that the jade bracelets are a pair, and it would be unlucky if they were taken apart. I also thought about it. , I was thinking that I was in a hurry, and the second girl was getting married soon, so I gave this pair to the second girl first, and then I played the same pair when the eldest girl got married. But today's words have reminded me that elders are the most taboo to serve a bowl of water. Injustice, even if it is kind, but in the eyes of the younger generation, it is inevitable that you will not have another mind. After all, the eldest girl is the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter, and she should choose first in terms of identity and sequence teeth. And the eldest girl is sensible and loves her younger brothers and sisters. , What is especially rare is to distinguish between inside and outside, and to know who to honor. Of all the children, I love her the most, but she is also the most unhappy, and the marriage has twists and turns. This grandmother of mine is getting old, and I can't help you any more. More money to subsidize you."
After Mrs. Cheng finished speaking, she gently closed the lid and said, "Miss, come and take your things away. Jade bracelets are delicate and cannot withstand bumps. Be careful when you go back and put them away."
Cheng Yujin said in her heart that sure enough, Mrs. Cheng was always like this. When she beat people, she didn't know what to say. She always used another person as a raft. In this way, the person who was beaten would not resent Madam Cheng, but would instead transfer all the hatred to the person being praised. Cheng Yujin has been a dedicated head for Mrs. Cheng for several years because she is of the right age.
She sighed, thinking that this time, the Ruan family would probably hate her to death, and she might not be able to pay homage to the second room. Cheng Yujin's thoughts flashed by, she looked calm, and did not show ecstasy and eagerness, but glanced at Ruan Shi and declined: "Grandmother, I can't accept it, this is not in line with etiquette."
"What's wrong." Mrs. Cheng said indifferently, "There is no need for my family to pay attention to etiquette. My own dowry, if I want to reward my beloved granddaughter, is it not possible?"
Yes, Cheng Yujin knew that it was bound to be unkind today. Anyway, Ruan's hatred is already full, and Cheng Yujin has become a villain for Mrs. Cheng, so she will not push out the benefits. This pair of bracelets is probably the most valuable item in Mrs. Cheng's dowry, a precious jade bracelet, so don't give it up for nothing.
Cheng Yujin immediately responded in embarrassment: "The granddaughter is more respectful than obeying her orders, and she will keep it for her grandmother for the time being."
From surprise to disbelief to frantic anticipation, Nguyen was finally hit in the head and watched all the cooked ducks go into Cheng Yujin's pocket. The gap between Ruan's family can be imagined, especially since Mrs. Cheng also said that it was originally intended for Cheng Yumo.
The most hated in the world but "original".
When Ruan Shi left Madam Cheng's house, her face was ashen, and Cheng Yujin sighed in her heart, but her fingers resting on the tin snail lacquer box became more and more relaxed. Cheng Yujin stayed in Mrs. Cheng's house for a while, and after hearing her say many specious things, she was finally able to escape.
Cheng Yujin breathed a sigh of relief after she came out. She solved the big issue of fame and got a good jade bracelet with high value, but she couldn't relax at all. Cheng Yujin walked in the corridor with her maid, and when she passed through a moon gate, she was suddenly stopped by someone behind her.
"Big girl."
Cheng Yujin paused for a while, her eyes flashing dark light, but in a flash she adjusted her expression, turned back in surprise and surprise, and smiled softly at Ruan: "Second aunt, so you haven't left yet."
When Ruan Shi approached, Pi Xiaorou twitched the corners of his mouth without smiling. Her eyes first fell on the lacquer box in Cheng Yujin's arms, and she fixed it for a moment, then slowly moved to Cheng Yujin's face: "The eldest lady is valued by the old lady, and even the jade bracelet that the old lady plans to bury in a hundred years is not a good idea. I gave it to you without frowning."
Cheng Yujin smiled and said, "Where, I'm just keeping it for my grandmother for the time being. Besides, my grandmother's makeup is so rich, I just got a pair of jade bracelets. Isn't everything left by my grandmother to leave to a few younger brothers? "
Ruan Shi was heartbroken when she heard that Cheng Yujin said that she was going to twist her hair to be her sister-in-law, but now that she calmed down, the more Ruan Shi thought about it, the more wrong she was. After today's uproar, Cheng Yujin was able to keep her filial piety at ease, and she was honored as her eldest grandson, which must be another important part of her reputation. However, it didn't stop there, Cheng Yujin actually relied on Madam Cheng's pity to get a jade bracelet worth several thousand taels out of Madam Cheng's hand. On the other hand, Nguyen Shi, except being beaten by Mrs. Cheng, got nothing.
It was so obvious that the winners made Ruan Shi couldn't help but wonder, is this a trap of Cheng Yujin? She showed weakness and cried, searching for life and death, all for this moment. Even Nguyen has become a tool for her to make money.
Ruan's eyes revealed doubts, and Cheng Yujin sighed secretly, but she had to quickly solve her current crisis. She smiled slightly, with a girl's trust and honesty on her face, and said, "My grandmother took pity on me, so she took care of me in many ways. But my marriage is uncertain now, and I don't know where the future will be. It's all thanks to my grandmother and younger brother. I have today."
After finishing speaking, Cheng Yujin said unintentionally: "We are granddaughters after all, no matter how much the elders pity them, they are just taking one piece out of a box, how can we go beyond the serious grandson. Grandmother is the most fair, and what is behind must be Evenly divided, my aunt has two sons, which has taken up too much. Besides, aunt should not forget that the second sister is to be Mrs. Hou. Jingyong Hou has been appreciated by the saint and has a bright future. The second sister will marry. It's a life of happiness. My aunt's life is good, I don't know how many children and grandchildren I will enjoy in the future, how can I look at this little bit of mosquitoes and flies in my hands. "
Nguyen's heart was moved by what she said, yes, Mrs. Cheng felt pity for Cheng Yujin to be helpless for the rest of her life, so she wanted to give her more money, but to put it bluntly, it was nothing but dead things. Cheng Yujin can't sell it and can't sell it, and she won't have a decent husband in the future. No matter how much she takes, she's just sitting on the mountain.
Cheng Yujin's current net worth is probably no more than three or four thousand taels. With this money, Guangjing Yonghou's mansion will run more than a month. Ruan Shi secretly laughed that she was stunned, and even competed with Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yumo was Mrs. Hou as soon as she got married. In the future, she will preside over the cooking of her ancestral property. In Cheng Yumo's eyes, 3,000 taels are not even worth a splash. Using a pair of bracelets in exchange for Cheng Yu and Mo Shun to marry smoothly and give birth to the eldest son of Jingyong Houfu as soon as possible is of course a great value.
Although Cheng Yujin smiled casually, her eyes kept paying attention to Ruan's subtle expressions. Seeing that Nguyen was appeased by her and temporarily let go of her doubts, Cheng Yujin's shoulders relaxed slightly, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Making a fortune in silence is the long-term way. Cheng Yujin is still young, and she really doesn't want to be missed by others and affect her future wealth. Fortunately, a Nguyen family is not difficult to deal with.
Cheng Yujin also secretly alerted herself that she must keep a low profile in the future. She knew that one day she would not be able to hide it completely, but Cheng Yujin hoped that this day could be postponed for as long as possible.
Ruan's mood was relieved, and the corners of his eyes and brows were no longer as aggressive as before. Ruan's suspicion passed, and only then did he realize that he had come to question his biological daughter, and there was also a hint of coercion. Ruan Shi suddenly felt a little ashamed. She had a ghost in her heart, so she deliberately leaned on the warmer when she spoke: "Miss, if you care, you will be confused. I am also for your own good, so I am in a hurry. You will not misunderstand?"
Cheng Yujin smiled, looked at her biological mother like that, and smiled softly: "No."
Ruan Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to look up at Cheng Yujin's clear eyes. She turned to him and asked, "Then, do you still recognize me as a biological mother? You should know who is your biological mother."
After speaking, Ruan shi cast her gaze, Yin Yin looked at Cheng Yujin: "It's a pity that you left your mother just a few days after you were born. You were only so old when you were taken away. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you would be talking about kissing. When you were taken away, I cried for several days, almost blinding my eyes. This incident has become a heartbreak for my life, and every time I think of it, my heart hurts. Yujin, can you call me mother? "
