After Zhai Qing and Cheng Enbao ran away, Cheng Yujin turned around and saw the others looking at her as if they had seen a monster.
Cheng Yumo glanced at Zhai Yanlin quietly, seeing that Zhai Yanlin didn't speak, Cheng Yumo was not sure whether Cai Guogong was angry. She cautiously, euphemistically and condemningly said to Cheng Yujin: "Sister, how can you talk to the little prince like this? He is the prince of Cai Guogong's mansion. Cai Guogong is still here. How the prince is, we can't say."
After Cheng Yumo finished speaking, he looked at Zhai Yanlin and said, "Cai Guogong, my sister is not blaming the prince. She is also kind and not malicious. Cai Guogong, don't be angry."
Cheng Yujin was very unhappy when she heard this. She glanced at Cheng Yumo and asked, "What is the second sister doing, is it apologizing for me?"
"Yeah, I know my sister is just used to it and has no malicious intentions. But the prince is different from our children. How can my sister discipline the prince of Cai Guogong's mansion? Cai Guogong is magnanimous, please don't blame my sister... "
Cheng Yujin was too lazy to finish listening, and interrupted with a smile: "What did I do wrong, do I need you to apologize for me?"
Cheng Yumo's expression froze, obviously not expecting Cheng Yujin to say such a thing. She looked at Cheng Yujin in disbelief: "eldest sister, I'm here for your own good..."
"For my own good, so you can call the shots for me?" Cheng Yujin approached, and the servants on both sides automatically dispersed to both sides. She glanced at Cheng Yumo and said, "Not to mention that I did nothing wrong at all. Even if I did something wrong, it should be my decision to bear the consequences or to apologize. Which is your turn to apologize for me?"
The scene was stiff for a while, although Cheng Yumo deeply cared about Cheng Yujin, but she felt that on the surface, the two would always maintain the appearance of being sisters. Who would have thought that Cheng Yujin would show her face mercilessly in front of so many people.
She was a little embarrassed, and a look of grievance and loneliness appeared on her face: "I'm doing it for my sister's sake, lest Cai Guogong be blamed..."
When Zhai Yanlin heard it, he quickly said: "I don't mean to blame the eldest lady, on the contrary, I should thank the eldest lady. The dog is naughty, thanks to Miss Cheng today. If the dog has offended you, please forgive me. "
Cheng Yumo suddenly showed an incredible expression. She didn't understand it at first, but only after she had a son in her previous life did she understand why there are so many playboys in the world. The son said that her life was good. If someone dared to teach her son face to face, Cheng Yumo would have to fight him. Cai Guogong is the only son who should be more precious. Cheng Yujin scolded Zhai Qing in person, but Cai Guogong is not angry
How is this possible
However, Cheng Yujin nodded and said, "Originally, Zhai Shizi was a guest, and how he was brought up is up to the Duke Cai's mansion. In any case, it's not my turn to be an outsider to intervene. But today on the site of the Hou mansion, next to him And my third brother, I can't let them have an accident in the Hou's mansion. Cai Guogong won't blame me for acting in his place?"
Zhai Yanlin shook his head: "No, I want to thank Miss Cheng for confiscating his dog and detaining him to go back and copy the book."
After speaking, Zhai Yanlin sighed and said, "If he is so obedient in the imperial mansion, how could he make his elders sad? To tell you the truth, in order to discipline this incompetent son, I beat and scold him. I also scolded, but it always didn't work. For him, I was really heartbroken."
Cheng Yumo heard it and comforted him: "Cai Guogong doesn't have to worry, the prince is still young, and he will naturally become sensible when he grows up. This is the case with boys.
Zhai Yanlin sighed, but looking at his expression, it was obvious that he faintly agreed with this statement. This is the world's view, boys mature late, it is normal to be a jerk when they are young, and it will be fine when they grow up.
Cheng Yujin looked at Cheng Yumo's expression, and then looked at Zhai Yanlin, who had a very agreeable face, and felt that this was the biggest joke in the world. Could it be that boys and girls are different, when they reach a certain age, they suddenly change their minds and become sensible
How is it possible, if you don't take care of it when you are young, it will just be bullying and domineering. Zhai Qing is always in trouble, and it has nothing to do with Zhai Yanlin's mentality.
It seems that Cheng Yumo's words aroused Zhai Yanlin's mind, and he sighed a lot again, sighing deeply for his son's disobedience to discipline. Cheng Yujin listened for a while, then said slowly: "Cai Guogong said he can't control the prince. Is it because the Guogong can't control it, or the Guogong doesn't want to?"
Cheng Yuanjing's brows moved, and he looked down at Cheng Yujin with surprise in his brows and eyes. Zhai Yanlin was stunned for a moment, Cheng Yumo heard it, and immediately frowned and looked at Cheng Yujin: "Sister, how can you say that to the Duke? The Duke is busy with court affairs, and he has to discipline his son himself after the court, which can be regarded as a role model for a father. "Sister, it's too irresponsible for you to say that."
Cheng Yujin was not in a hurry, not worried at all that these words would offend Zhai Yanlin: "I also saw what happened today, the prince, it's not that the prince can't listen to the words of adults, it's just to see if the person who speaks has the patience and determination. I'm just a person. Outsiders can do this, how could Duke Guo, as the father of the eldest son, be unable to control it?”
As if struck by lightning, Zhai Yanlin did not speak for a long time. Cheng Yumo's face was even more disapproving: "Sister said this too for granted, children can't be frightened, and strict control will scare the children, just like today's elder sister let the prince sit on the ground, how can this be done? The prince and the third The younger brother is still young, and slowly people will be around to persuade and coax them, and they will be sensible."
Cheng Yujin laughed, she never reasoned with fools, what Cheng Yumo said was what she said. She looked up and saw Cheng Yuanjing beside her, and suddenly she was a little curious about His Royal Highness's view on parenting, and asked, "Ninth uncle, what do you think?"
Cheng Yuanjing looked down and saw Cheng Yujin's bright eyes, and knew that her plans were definitely not good. He glanced at her lightly and asked, "Why do you care about this?"
Cheng Yujin smiled and joked: "Don't my niece care about the son of the ninth uncle? If the ninth uncle's eldest son comes into the world in the future, I must be the first one who expects him to become a good person."
Cheng Yujin smiled half-truth. Although she said it in a joking tone, her words were true. Cheng Yuanjing's descendants are related to future political changes. Cheng Yujin sincerely hopes that the prince will be able to handle it clearly, but don't teach a scourge like Cai Guogong's mansion. After all, Zhai Qing is just a son of honor, and no matter how absurd it is, it is only a disaster for the family. If it is Cheng Yuanjing's son, it is a disaster for the country.
Cheng Yujin just wanted to find a handsome and promising husband to spend her life peacefully and richly. For the consideration of her children, Cheng Yujin also hoped that Cheng Yuanjing's son would be well.
As an uncle and nephew, these words sounded nothing, but between ordinary men and women, they had some meaning. Cheng Yuanjing originally wanted to warn her not to talk nonsense, but when she came into contact with her smiling eyes, her originally serious expression unknowingly brought a smile. He looked at Cheng Yujin helplessly, and flicked his finger between her eyebrows: "Don't talk nonsense."
Zhai Yanlin stood aside watching Cheng Yuanjing and Cheng Yujin interact, and always felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was indescribably weird. Zhai Yanlin frowned, throwing this ridiculous idea out of his mind. They are uncles and nephews, so it's normal to talk and be affectionate, plus Cheng Yuanjing and Cheng Yujin are not much different in age, so they look like unmarried men and women flirting.
The half-day trip to Yichun Hou's Mansion left a deep impression on Zhai Yanlin, and until he returned to the Duke's Mansion, he was thinking about the Cheng family.
I don't know why, when Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing were talking and laughing, and Cheng Yuanjing tapped on her forehead, the scene couldn't be dissipated for a long time. Zhai Yanlin was married and had several women. He was not the same as a teenager who didn't know anything. He is much sharper in matters of men and women, and he is more aware of the weirdness of Cheng Yuanjing and Cheng Yujin, the uncle and nephew.
If it is said that Cheng Yujin is a filial uncle, it is barely reasonable, but Cheng Yuanjing's attitude is definitely not uncle to niece. What uncle would be so patient and indulgent to a niece? Even a daughter who has been raised since childhood, when looking at her, she is loved from the top down, rather than admired by her peers.
Cheng Yuanjing looked at Cheng Yujin's eyes, obviously expecting, appreciating, and indulgently playing with him.
Zhai Yanlin thought about this all afternoon, and when he went to greet Mrs. Zhai, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Mrs. Zhai was setting meals in the house, and Zhai Qinggong was in Mrs. Zhai's arms, talking ill of Cheng Yujin.
"There was a woman in Yichun Hou's mansion that I hated so much, so I let the roaring dog run for two laps. I don't know how to get in her eyes, but she had someone throw the roaring dog out! I didn't allow it, she let me Sitting on the ground and preventing others from coming."
Madam Zhai's heart twitched when she heard it, she stroked her heart, and quickly hugged Zhai Qing and asked, "My dear, you are sitting on the ground? Let grandma see, is your butt green?"
Zhai Qing didn't know what was going on, so he twisted and refused to let Mrs. Zhai lift the hem of his clothes. He jumped off Mrs. Zhai and said, "I'm fine, don't look at it."
"How can that be done!" Madam Zhai yelled, and asked the maid to get the imperial ointment, and then asked the servant to use the brand of the imperial palace to ask for the imperial doctor, and the tossing people turned their backs. Mrs. Zhai Er also wiped away her tears and said, "I didn't pay attention to it for a while, but I actually made the prince suffer so much grievance. I can't live anymore! So many maids and old ladies look like this, and in the future, the wife will enter the door, Brother Qing wants to be raised by the step room, didn't we even know if he beat and scolded him?"
These words just hit Mrs. Zhai's heart, she sighed, Zhai Yanlin had been wandering in the world, and when he heard the words "Mrs. Ji", he didn't know why he came back to his senses. After returning to his senses, he looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, and raised his thick eyebrows: "What are you going to do?"
There was a maid who wanted to please, so she immediately told Zhai Qing what she had just said. In order to please the prince, she also deliberately described the prince as more miserable, and the woman from the Cheng family was more vicious. When Zhai Yanlin heard this, he laughed out of anger: "Full of nonsense! I was there at the time, and it was clear that you deliberately let the dog go to frighten the daughters of the Cheng family. Miss Cheng couldn't see it, so you trapped your dog. How could it be? Why did she deliberately target you? Knowing her fault and not changing her mind, she is prone to lying, which is simply disgraceful to our Zhai family! Come on, use family methods."
When Zhai Qing heard that her father wanted to adopt the family law, she started to cry, and Mrs. Zhai was flustered and distressed. She hugged Zhai Qing tightly, and cried too: "My dear, why don't you let me go with you!"
Mrs. Zhai's second wife was yelling, she stopped in front of Mrs. Zhai, she was talking to Zhai Yanlin, and she instructed the maid to stop the servant who was taking the family law, and the inner room suddenly turned into a pot of porridge. Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhai Yanlin had a deep headache. He pressed his eyebrows and thought of Cheng Yujin's words inadvertently.
After an afternoon, her voice, face, smile, and face were still vivid in her mind, and even her voice seemed to be ringing in her ears: "Cai Guogong said that he can't control the prince. Is it because the Guogong can't control it, or the Guogong didn't want to?"
Zhai Yanlin seemed to have been beaten by someone, and his mind suddenly became brighter. Yes, he always knew that Zhai Qing was disobedient to discipline and would not change after repeated teachings, so every time Zhai Qing committed a crime, Zhai Yanlin was too lazy to listen to the cause and effect, so he had someone find a stick to teach him a lesson. Mrs. Zhai naturally refused, and Zhai Qing burst into tears. In the end, this matter could only be left unsolved. The next time, Zhai Qing knew that he would not be punished and would cause even more trouble. If things go on like this, Zhai Qing will become more and more lawless, Zhai Yanlin will become more and more powerless, and the relationship between their father and son will become more and more unfamiliar.
Cheng Yujin, a young woman, had such a vicious eye for insight into human feelings, and she got the crux in one sentence. Zhai Yanlin faintly felt that he couldn't do this, but his son had no fear and became more and more domineering. He didn't need a stick, so how could he manage it
Zhai Yanlin felt powerless and let out a long sigh. An idea flashed in his mind, but before he could catch it, it disappeared.
Seeing that Zhai Yanlin's anger had subsided, Mrs. Zhai hurriedly asked the maid to protect Zhai Qing from going out, while she took Zhai Yanlin tremblingly and prevented him from hitting her grandson. Zhai Yanlin was extremely helpless, he only had this mother, what could he do to his old mother? Zhai Yanlin had to open one eye and close the other again, and let Zhai Qing go out.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhai was finally relieved. She also knew that her son was already the prince of the state, and there was an important official in the court. Mrs. Zhai let go of her hand and signaled to Mrs. Zhai Er, "The second one's family, it's none of your business here, you can go out."
Mrs. Zhai Er should have done so, and retreated with the room full of maids. After everyone left, Madam Zhai asked Zhai Yanlin to sit down and asked, "Guo Gong, what's going on today?"
Zhai Yanlin recounted what he saw and heard today. When talking about Cheng Yujin, for some reason, he omitted the process of their acquaintance.
When Mrs. Zhai heard this, she said thoughtfully, "It turns out that she is the eldest lady of the Cheng family. I have long heard that she is a good housekeeper. She is handsome in appearance, gentle and quiet in temperament, virtuous and filial, and she does things quickly. She's an IKEA IKEA person, but it's a pity she was divorced."
"What?" Zhai Yanlin was shocked, "She was divorced?"
No wonder Zhai Yanlin was so surprised. As a man, he really couldn't think of Cheng Yujin's divorce. Her original fiancé was willing to let go of such a beauty, what was going on in his mind
Mrs. Zhai didn't care about Zhai Yanlin's rashness. In fact, when she first heard it, she was no less surprised than Zhai Yanlin.
Madam Zhai was talking, her eyes showing contemplation: "If according to what you said, the eldest lady of the Cheng family can control Brother Qing, has a virtuous and sensible temperament, and is also a good person in charge of the family, then marry her for you. It's not impossible to be a successor."
