Two young boys stood in one place, the taller one was wearing a big red Yuanbao robe and holding a majestic dog in his hand. He gave an order and the dog galloped out like lightning.
The young master in red was standing next to a child in white, looking at the age of four or five, looking at the dark dog with admiration. These two children are not very old, and they are followed by a group of servants behind them. Everyone is not surprised by this situation, and they just stare at the two baby bumps with good eyes. Anyway, it's just a maid, nothing can happen, it's good to make the young master happy.
The maid was walking in the garden with her plate in hand, when suddenly a dark and fierce dog came out from the side. The maid was startled and fell to the ground with a scream. That dog is a rare breed of fine dog, with slender limbs, thin waist and thin legs, a keen sense of smell, and a very fast run. It is a specialized hunting dog. But the little master also named the dog "Roaring Heaven Dog". This dog was smart, and when the maid fell to the ground, it took the opportunity to pounce on it and looked around for the pendant requested by the little master.
The maid was so frightened that she almost fainted when she saw such a ferocious dog up close. She wanted to stand but couldn't stand, wanted to run but couldn't, so she could only scream in despair. There were also many people from the Yichun Hou Mansion in the garden. They wanted to step forward to help when they heard the voice, but when they saw their third young master standing not far away, they hesitated again.
The maid's cry was particularly evident in the garden, and the young master in red was amused so much that he clapped his hands and laughed. Seeing him like this, the faces of the people in Yichun Hou's mansion became more and more ugly, but they didn't know what to do.
When the people in the garden didn't know what to do, a person came out from behind the vines and raised his voice slightly and said, "The fierce dog is making trouble in the house, why don't you drive this dog out?"
The servants were startled when they heard the voice, and when they looked back, they saw that it was Cheng Yujin, and they were overjoyed as if they had found their own parents: "Yes!"
It's just a dog, a maid can't control it, and so many servants and gardeners can't control it? The crowd stepped forward, with all their hands and feet, and quickly put the dog up. Du Ruo helped the girl who was thrown up and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, the eldest girl is here."
When the maid heard Cheng Yujin's presence, she felt great sadness followed by great joy, her tears became more fierce, and the sobbing gradually stopped. Cheng Yujin saw that the maid's arms and backs of hands were covered with blood splattered by the stones on the ground, she sighed and said, "help her down to rest, she doesn't have to be on duty today. Du Ruo, go back to get a bottle of plaster later, two taels broken. Silver, just treat it as the money I subsidize for her wound medicine."
The maid was taken aback, sobbing and said, "How can this work..."
"Take it." Cheng Yujin's tone was not heavy, but there was an indescribable taste in it, and the maid didn't dare to say anything when she heard it.
The young master in red was looking happy when a group of people suddenly came up and locked up his dog. The young master in red was displeased, pointed at the crowd and scolded, "You are presumptuous, where are you bastards, dare to touch the dog of the young master!"
Cheng Yujin's eyes turned cold again when she heard that the child was full of bastards. There are only a few children who come to Yichun Houfu today, and I am afraid there is only one such lawless and arrogant one. If she guessed correctly, this should be the prince of Cai Guogong's mansion, Zhai Qing.
The old lady of Cai Guogong spoiled her grandson, but Cheng Yujin would not. Her face was light, as if she had just seen Zhai Qing, and said: "So the young master of Cai Guogong's mansion is also there. I was just dealing with the vicious dog, but I didn't even see the prince. Wait a moment, the prince, wait for me to explain this The vicious dog kills someone, and I'll show you around the garden again."
"You dare!" When Zhai Qing heard this, he was immediately annoyed. Whether he is at home or outside, he has always responded with a thousand calls, and everyone is too late to hold him. How can anyone dare to touch his things? Now that he heard that Cheng Yujin was going to beat his precious dog to death, Zhai Qing was surprised and surprised. He couldn't believe that there were people in the world who were not afraid of him: "This is my dog, you dare!"
"Oh, so this dog has an owner." Cheng Yujin stabbed indifferently, "I thought this dog was rampaging and hurting people in public. Someone raised a wild dog that was not taught."
Zhai Qing was still young and couldn't understand the ridicule behind Cheng Yujin's voice. He only knew that Cheng Yujin's tone was light and didn't sound like a good word. Zhai Qing snorted, and said arrogantly, "Since you know who I am, Master, I'll let my roaring dog go."
Cheng Yujin laughed and said, "Since it's Zhai Shizi's dog, it must not be killed casually, so let's drive it out. When throwing it out, put a muzzle on it so that it won't hurt in the street. It ruined the reputation of our Yichun Hou Mansion."
When Zhai Qing heard that Cheng Yujin was going to throw the dog out, he was in a hurry: "You dare, this is my dog!"
"I know." Cheng Yujin glanced at Zhai Qing lightly, "So what? You can't keep dogs in the house. Could it be that Zhai Shizi's dog has more supernatural powers than other people's, so it's not an ordinary dog?"
Zhai Qing pointed at Cheng Yujin, so angry that he was almost speechless: "How dare you talk to me like this! Whoever said you can't keep dogs in the house, we can."
Cheng Yujin didn't even bother to look at him: "The prince also said that it's your home. I don't care about Cai Guogong's mansion. In Yichun Hou's mansion, I have to listen to me." Moved: "What are you still doing, didn't you hear?"
The servants woke up like a dream, they secretly glanced at Zhai Qing, what a noble person the only son of Cai Guogong's mansion is, but now his face is flushed with anger. They shook their heads, then carried the dog quickly away.
There is no way, no matter how honorable and favored son Zhai is, in the Cheng family, it is really the eldest girl who has the final say.
Zhai Qing watched his favorite hound being thrown out under his nose. He was anxious and angry, and shouted in hatred, "Are you all blind, let this young master stop them!"
The guards of Cai Guogong's mansion showed hesitation. They were ordered to take care of the little master, not to offend the Cheng family. After all, this is the inner courtyard of the Cheng family. Zhai Qing's dog was scary first, and Miss Cheng sent an order to drive the dog away. They really had no position to stop it.
They even thought that it was good that there was no dog around the little prince. Mrs. Zhai had been worried about letting Zhai Qing keep a dog. If it weren't for the fear of Zhai Qing's crying, Mrs. Zhai would have dealt with this dangerous small dog long ago. The people of the Guogong Mansion had scruples. At first, they were a step slower, and then they couldn't act. When Zhai Qing found that his servants could not help him, he was about to explode with anger, so he ran over and dragged Cheng Enbao: "This is your house, you tell them to come back!"
Cheng Enbao glanced up at Cheng Yujin, and his courage to speak suddenly waned, and he lowered his head honestly. It was useless for Zhai Qing to ask anyone for help, which meant that the ground should not be called every day. He had never suffered such grievances before. He pointed at Cheng Yujin and his fingers shivered. Suddenly, with a "wow", he sat on the ground and cried.
Zhai Yanlin's parents have an old relationship with Cheng Laohou Ye, and today Cheng Laohou Ye Qiqi, he is also here. Zhai Yanlin disliked the noise of the ritual in front of him, so he avoided the crowd and went for a walk in the garden. As Zhai Yanlin is such a big prince, it is impossible for the Cheng family to have no one to accompany him. Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Yuanhan have low official positions. First, they are not suitable, and secondly, they can't handle it, so Cheng Yuanjing came forward and accompanied Zhai Yanlin to watch the garden of Yichun Houfu.
The men talk less together, and Cheng Yuanjing is not too talkative. The two of them walked silently in the garden, and when they crossed a bridge, they saw a girl in white on the opposite bank playing with the water.
Through the weeping willow, I couldn't see the other person's face, but I could feel that it was a young and beautiful girl. Zhai Yanlin stopped and asked, "This is..."
Seeing the other party's white dress, Cheng Yuanjing was reluctant to go forward privately, but Zhai Yanlin actually asked, which was very rash. Cheng Yuanjing didn't like Zhai Yanlin's style, but when they were talking, the girl opposite heard the voice and stood up.
"Ninth Uncle?" The girl's voice contained surprise, as if she was surprised to meet Cheng Yuanjing here. It was too late for Cheng Yuanjing to lead people away at this time. He had no choice but to nod and say, "Second girl."
Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Huo Xue wanted to discuss marriage, but Cheng Yumo didn't want to hear it anymore, so she sneaked out. After she came out, she didn't know where to go, so she hid in the garden and splashed water. Unexpectedly, she met Cheng Yuanjing and Zhai Yanlin.
Cheng Yumo ran up the bridge with her skirt in hand, and quickly saluted the two of them: "My niece greets Ninth Uncle. Ninth Uncle, this is... "
"Cai Guogong Zhai Yanlin." Cheng Yuanjing motioned to Zhai Yanlin, "This is the second lady of the Hou Mansion."
Zhai Yanlin vaguely knew that there was a pair of twin sisters in Yichun Houfu, but he didn't know which two. He heard that the older sister of the twins is smart, beautiful and famous. Seeing the girl in front of her eyes are bright and clear, her face is like a spring flower, her face is as innocent as autumn dawn, and her expression is innocent and charming, she guesses that this is the long-established famous sister.
For the first time, Zhai Yanlin felt that the rumor was true. When women evaluate their appearance, it is always easy to add water, but the Cheng family and sister Tiehua in front of them are truly a rare beauty.
Zhai Yanlin said: "I have heard that the Cheng family is well-known for a long time. When I see it today, it is worthy of being a virtuous and beautiful person who was personally praised by the sage."
Cheng Yumo's smile froze, she raised her hand and stroked her hair on the temples, and said with a smile, "Cai Guo admittedly was wrong, I am the second girl, and it is my eldest sister who has been rewarded by the sage."
"Oh?" Zhai Yanlin was really surprised. When he saw that the girl was quite beautiful, he confidently concluded that she was the elder sister with the reputation of beauty. He didn't expect that this was just the younger sister
The younger sister already has such beauty and no name, how beautiful should her twin sister be
Zhai Yanlin was surprised and embarrassed. It would not be an honor for any woman to be admitted wrong. He confessed his mistake to Cheng Yumo: "Sorry, Miss Cheng Er. I have never met the two daughters of your family, so I am mistaken."
Zhai Yanlin's apology can be described as insincere. Rather than an apology, it is better to say that he is just absolving himself for his behavior. Cheng Yuanjing frowned again when he heard Zhai Yanlin's words. He just looked across the water and thought it was Cheng Yujin, and didn't want to disturb her with a foreigner. But the other party just moved, and Cheng Yuanjing recognized that it was not. It wasn't Cheng Yujin anyway, Cheng Yuanjing introduced Zhai Yanlin, but Cheng Yuanjing didn't expect that Zhai Yanlin had mistaken someone.
The words "virtuous and beautiful" came out of Zhai Yanlin's mouth, why is Cheng Yuanjing so uncomfortable listening to it? But the person who was mistaken was Cheng Yumo, and Cheng Yuanjing's uncle had no reason to stand up for her. Cheng Yumo smiled, and did not feel offended by Zhai Yanlin's insincere apology, but winked playfully: "It's okay, I don't care, the prince doesn't have to take it to heart. Cai Guogong met me, if It's my sister, she wouldn't be like this."
"Oh?" Anyone who sees a beautiful girl likes it. Zhai Yanlin is aroused by curiosity and asks cooperatively, "What will happen to her then?"
Cheng Yumo stopped laughing, clasped his hands like Cheng Yujin, placed them meticulously in front of him, and deliberately said in a cold and dignified tone, "You don't need to be polite, Lord Guo, but it's just three things, and you can't admit your mistakes in the future. already."
Zhai Yanlin was amused by Cheng Yumo's vivid imitation. He looked at the girl in front of him with a smile, and he had already sketched the appearance of the so-called beautiful Miss Cheng. I'm afraid, it's another dignified and virtuous lady who is as boring as wood. No wonder, if it is such a character, it will indeed have a good reputation among female relatives.
Zhai Yanlin felt bored, a marionette who only knew the etiquette of the Book of Rites, no matter how beautiful it was, what was the point of it. It's like the girl in front of her, lively, charming and lovable.
Sure enough, half of the rumors were false, and the real beauty was buried instead.
When Cheng Yumo imitated Cheng Yujin, Zhai Yanlin looked cute, but in Cheng Yuanjing's eyes, he felt a strong sense of rejection. Cheng Yumo's imitation is of course very clumsy. Cheng Yujin is elegant and decent, but Cheng Yumo didn't learn one-tenth of it. What makes Cheng Yuanjing even more disgusting is Cheng Yumo's behavior.
In his heart, Cheng Yujin is Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yumo is someone else. Although the two are twin sisters, their appearances are not exactly the same. The reasoning of the two of them is the same as that of a dragon and a phoenix, except that the dragon and the phoenix are a boy and a girl, and the Cheng Yujin sisters are a pair of girls. Cheng Yumo imitated Cheng Yujin's words and deeds, giving Cheng Yuanjing an illusion that she wanted to replace Cheng Yujin.
Cheng Yuanjing was very repelled by this, and could even be said to be disgusted.
Cheng Yumo was also amused, she giggled for a while, and tears came out of the corners of her eyes. At this time, a group of maids passed by on the corridor by the lake, all with food boxes and plates in their hands. Cheng Yumo saw it, pointed to a little maid and said, "Put your things down, go to the front dock and ask the old lady to row a boat over. I remember that there was a lotus flower in East Lake, and I took Jiu Shu and Cai Guogong to see the lotus. "
The pointed maid stopped and looked embarrassedly: "Second miss, this maid is going to put melons and fruits in the back hall."
"Put down the melons and fruits first, it's just a while, the guests can't use so many melons and fruits. It's important to see the lotus flowers first."
The maid and her companions looked at each other, but their faces were still sullen: "But, this is what the eldest girl ordered..."
Cheng Yumo didn't expect that in front of Cheng Yuanjing and Cai Guogong, a little maid would dare to drag three or four, so as not to give her face. Cheng Yumo lowered her face and said, "Big girl, big girl, what big sister said was an order, but not mine?"
The maid immediately knelt down when she heard it, but even so, she held the fruit bowl in her hand firmly: "Second miss, forgive your sins. But the eldest girl said that everyone should perform their duties and occupy their own positions. You will be punished by the eldest girl."
The leading maid also stepped forward and persuaded: "Yes, second girl, after all, this is what the eldest girl said, you should listen to the eldest girl."
Cheng Yumo's face was completely gloomy, and Cheng Yuanjing wanted to laugh. He then thought about the thin-skinned little girl, if he laughed it would be too embarrassing, so he held back.
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he was able to figure out what Cheng Yujin looked like just based on the description of the maid's few words. Sure enough, this is Cheng Yujin. Even if no one is there, a sentence "This is what the eldest girl ordered" can suppress the ready-made master.
Cheng Yumo himself stood here, but what he said didn't work. No matter what Cheng Yumo said, the maid only listened to the eldest girl, and also taught Cheng Yumo to listen to her sister.
Cheng Yumo was very unhappy, and when Zhai Yanlin heard it, he became even more curious: "Your second lady is here, and she personally instructed that you shouldn't put down your work immediately and be busy with the second lady first?"
"How did that happen?" the leading maid blurted out, and the rest agreed, "This is what the eldest girl explained."
"What if the eldest miss is wrong?" Zhai Yanlin asked.
The maid heard the laughter even more, they staggered and walked away while laughing: "How can the girl's words be wrong."
In Zhai Yanlin's past life, he had never encountered such a situation. He looked at the back of the maidservant, and was amazed. He was a little curious about this old-fashioned and boring young lady of the Cheng family, who was worshipped like a god by her servants.
If possible, he would really like to see this eldest lady.
Cheng Yumo was already sulking, but when he looked up and saw that Zhai Yanlin was full of interest, it was obvious that he was interested in Cheng Yujin, and he became even more angry. After watching for a while, Zhai Yanlin realized that he had neglected the beauty, and said quickly, "Second miss, I just lost my mind. Where is the lotus flower you said just now?"
Cheng Yumo's face looks better now. Although everyone praises Cheng Yujin, Cheng Yujin is not as good as Cheng Yumo and his peers. In fact, this is a bit unruly. Cheng Yumo blinked at Zhai Yanlin and Cheng Yuanjing and said, "I can take Jiu Shu and Guo Gong to see the lotus flowers, but you have to promise me one thing, you can't tell my sister about today's affairs. She is the most disciplined, and if she finds out, she will tell me again."
Zhai Yanlin nodded, it sounds like the big girl from the Cheng family is a little rigid. It's a pity that beauty is pedantic and ends up emptying her skin. Young women are still as good as Cheng Yumo. They are full of life and fragrant. It's okay to be a little bit worse in housekeeping. Anyway, they all have special accounting housekeepers.
Cheng Yuanjing didn't move. He might be the pedantic person. He remembered that Cheng Yumo was already engaged, and he was going to discuss marriage recently. It would be inappropriate to lead two foreign men to see the lotus flowers at such a time.
Cheng Yuanjing was about to open his mouth to refuse, but a reporter ran along the garden path. The servant ran all the way to the bridge, stopped in front of Zhai Yanlin and called a thousand words: "Master Guo."
"What's wrong?"
"The prince insisted on bringing the roaring dog in, but the servants and others couldn't persuade them. The boss was afraid that something would happen, and asked the servants to invite the prince of the country."
Zhai Yanlin's face turned black when he heard it. It was ridiculous. This is the inner courtyard of the Cheng family. Zhai Qing put the unleashed hunting dog in. What if it collided with the female relatives of the Cheng family
Seeing that Hua Yaxing vanished in thin air, Zhai Yanlin said with a sullen face, "Lead the way ahead, I'll take care of this evil obstacle."
The servant responded happily, and quickly led Zhai Yanlin and others to stop Zhai Qing. Cheng Yuanjing's eyes became cold when he heard that the Hound was brought in by the Duke Cai's mansion. Cheng Yumo didn't dare to speak when both Cheng Yuanjing and Zhai Yanlin sank. She tied her hands and saw Cheng Yuanjing and others strode forward, and she trotted to keep up.
When Cheng Yuanjing and Zhai Yanlin arrived, they happened to hear a child shouting angrily: "Presumptuous, where are you bastards, dare to touch the little master's dog!"
Zhai Yanlin was stunned for a moment, Cheng Yuanjing raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Zhai Yanlin calmly. Zhai Yanlin was embarrassed and angry, and was about to go out to teach his unabashed son, when he heard a woman's voice in a clear and light voice, saying: "So the young master of Cai Guogong's mansion is also there. To Shizi. Shizi, wait a moment, wait until I have someone kill this vicious dog, and then I will show you around the garden."
The three people's footsteps stopped at the same time, and they stopped talking at the same time, quietly listening to the movement outside.
