Cheng Yujin sighed leisurely, why is Cheng Yuanjing angry again, this is really an eternal problem.
Could it be that Cheng Yuanjing is an extremely upright, completely intolerant official? When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Cheng Yuanjing should not be so old-fashioned.
Cheng Yujin's expression was complicated, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
When they were talking just now, they sent their servants away. Now that Cheng Yuanjing left, Du Ruocai carefully chased after him and asked, "Miss, what did you say to Jiuye? Jiuye doesn't look very happy."
Cheng Yujin snorted softly, thinking that she also wanted to know. Cheng Yujin shook her head and said, "Maybe it's just that happiness and anger are indistinguishable, anyway, I'll never guess."
Du Ruo responded, the eldest girl couldn't guess, let alone them. Du Ruo'an followed Cheng Yujin back separately, and Cheng Yujin was thinking about another thing while walking.
Now Cheng Yuanjing is still keeping filial piety. Logically speaking, after his parents died, scholars and children should not be officials for three years. No Cheng Yuanjing is not an ordinary person, and if he thinks about it, he will soon be seduced. It would take a month or two from the transfer order to the departure. After Cheng Yuanjing left, Lin Qingyuan would have no reason to come to Cheng's house.
In other words, Cheng Yujin had to deal with Lin Qingyuan within this period of time.
Cheng Yujin's eyes couldn't help looking in the direction of Cheng Yuanjing's departure. She made the best use of everything and everyone did her duty. It seems that she still has to borrow His Royal Highness to use it during this time.
Cheng Yuanjing walked all the way back to the yard, his body was cold and icy. The people in the yard were trembling when they saw it, and they bowed and retreated across the distance.
Liu Yi trotted all the way to catch up, he followed Cheng Yuanjing approached the house, and saw with his own eyes His Royal Highness the Prince went straight to the study, spread out the paper and practiced calligraphy.
Liu Yi copied his hand and looked at it for a while, and the guess in his heart became more and more clear. His Royal Highness has been calm and restrained for so many years, and he rarely shows his emotions. It is very rare to have such a cold face and full of momentum like today. Once His Highness is not at peace, he will practice calligraphy. Often, after one page of practice, the Prince will return to his calm and reserved appearance.
When Fang Cai Cheng Yuanjing and Cheng Yujin were talking, they avoided them. Liu Yi didn't hear what His Highness the Prince and the eldest girl of the Cheng family said. However, considering that Cheng Yuanjing immediately went out when he heard the eldest girl's maid came to report, and that he was angry now, whether it was an expression of anger or jealousy, Liu Yi could probably guess what the eldest girl Cheng and His Highness said.
Gee, that's a little tricky to do. Liu Yi pondered for a moment, and looked at Cheng Yuanjing's pen, the dragon and snake. He had finished writing a large character, but his aura showed no signs of restraint. Liu Yi knew that he was bound to roll over the nail plate that grabbed food in front of the tiger's mouth. .
With drooping eyes, Liu Yi stepped forward to exchange a cup of tea for Cheng Yuanjing, and then said inadvertently, "What did Your Highness say to Miss Cheng today? When the servant was leaving, Miss Cheng came over to ask, saying that she was young and ignorant. What are you talking about, if you inadvertently offend His Highness, please consider that she is a junior and don't care."
Cheng Yuanjing knew in his heart that it was hard to say whether Cheng Yujin asked or not, but "Junior" was really what Liu Yi wanted to say. Cheng Yuanjing took the pen and slowly washed the pen on the inkstone: "She's surnamed Cheng, what kind of junior do you count as me?"
As soon as Liu Yi heard it, he knew it was bad. He originally just guessed, but now His Royal Highness doesn't shy away from it at all. It can be seen that he really moved his mind in this regard.
It turned out that Liu Yi could still find ways to play side balls, but now Cheng Yuanjing admits directly, but Liu Yi dare not say it. What kind of woman the master likes, how can they interrupt, Miss Cheng's appearance is outstanding, the age is just right, any man will like to take a few more glances. Although His Royal Highness the Prince is dignified, he is still a man after all.
Besides, if it wasn't for these incidents, His Highness would have married a concubine. He was homeless at his age, and it was too late.
Because he had scruples in his heart, Liu Yi did not dare to persuade him when he spoke, but said euphemistically: "His Royal Highness, a slave is not qualified to intervene in your private affairs, but the future empress is not only your wife, but also the crown princess of the whole world. , set an example for women in the world. If you marry a wife, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Your Majesty."
"It's the crown prince, not the crown prince, that the East Palace is qualified or not." Cheng Yuanjing said lightly, "Prince princess is her honor, not her responsibility. If I have the responsibility, she will only need high crowns and clothes to do what she likes. , If I am incompetent, I don't have to do the crown prince, what does it have to do with her? It's ridiculous to choose people for the so-called crown princess duties."
Cheng Yuanjing has always looked down on those sayings that "she can be a good wife, so marry her". In his opinion, revitalizing the harem, the palace or the mansion should be a man's responsibility, hoping to marry a capable wife. Supporting parents, managing subordinates, even raising children, and taking care of concubines for oneself are all manifestations of a man's incompetence. They are evading their responsibilities, and they also use high-sounding reasons to blame their wives for being unvirtuous. Cheng Yuanjing despises this kind of behavior very much.
Liu Yi promised that he didn't dare to say more when he thought of Empress Zhong's affairs. Liu Yi sighed in his heart, it seems that His Royal Highness has made up his mind and must take the eldest daughter of the Cheng family as his own. Liu Yi doesn't have any opinion on this, as long as His Highness likes it, it doesn't matter, not to mention Miss Cheng herself is not a sloppy beauty. I just don't know how the emperor arranged it, His Majesty can't pass this level.
Liu Yi tried his best to surpass, and said two more words: "It's rare that Your Highness likes you, and the servant is also happy for you. But Your Highness and the Cheng family have the name of adoption after all, and Miss Cheng is even an uncle and nephew of the next generation. If in the future... I'm afraid... It will be detrimental to His Highness's reputation. His Majesty is counting on His Highness to put things right and restore the orthodox, and maybe he will not agree with His Highness's actions."
"I know." Cheng Yuanjing dipped in ink, and slowly and firmly wrote a word on the rice paper, "I have my own plans, you don't have to say it, let's go."
Liu Yi knew that he had crossed the line again, so he bowed and hit a thousand, then stepped back and went out. After closing the door, Cheng Yuanjing's strength continued unabated, as if there were thousands of troops in his pen, he suddenly wrote a large line of characters.
What can Liu Yi think of, how could Cheng Yuanjing not think of it? The emperor lived under the control of the Yang family's sister and brother all his life, and even the queen married the Yang family's daughter and gave birth to a pair of children. The emperor relied on the Yang family and was afraid of the Yang family, so he put all his hopes on Cheng Yuanjing. According to the emperor's thoughts, even if Cheng Yuanjing's future wife is not the daughter of an important minister, she should be a minister of the humerus. The fallen nobles like the Houfu of Yichun are not in the emperor's consideration anyway.
But so what, Cheng Yuanjing will take the position and power that belongs to him, and of course he is the only one who has the final say on his crown princess.
He never realized what he wanted. Until today, he heard from Cheng Yujin that she bid him farewell without any hesitation, and heard that she happily imagined her life with her future husband. Cheng Yuanjing finally knew what he wanted to hear. What is that answer.
He is not her uncle, nor is he any of her elders. All he wanted was to have Cheng Yujin follow him as a man, give him purses, and prepare cakes for him.
Cheng Yuanjing looked at Cheng Yujin's diligence towards other men, which was very eye-catching. Huo Changyuan's literary and military talents were not as good as his, and her cousin was no more than a fanboy. Why didn't Cheng Yujin change his infatuation with them? With some kind of inexplicable mentality, he deliberately revealed his identity to Cheng Yujin. Later, Cheng Yujin's attitude towards him did change, but unfortunately, it was still not as a man.
Cheng Yujin always regards him as a symbol, a tool that can make his future husband-in-law get promoted. Cheng Yuanjing sometimes wished to knock Cheng Yujin's head off to take a look. Since he wanted to marry a rich and powerful husband, how to plan against Xu Zhixian and Lin Qingyuan? As a crown prince, he has no shortage of money, power and status, and he also occupies the status of the ninth son of the Cheng family. Cheng Yujin does not know how to take advantage of such convenient conditions, and he is still in front of him all day long to discuss the future of his future husband-in-law
It's weird that she can get it. The closer she got, the more joyful and possessive Cheng Yuanjing felt, and the more unbearable it was for other men's names to come out of her mouth.
Of course he knew that if he married Cheng Yujin, it would be much harder for him to recover his identity. Of course, he also knew that if he married Cheng Yujin, he would not get any help from the Houfu of Yichun, but would fall into the ranks of his former uncle and nephew because of the fame of his former uncle and nephew. The situation pointed out by the world.
For him, the already precarious prince, it was tantamount to asking for his own death.
But so what, he knew how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, but it was precisely because the future was difficult that only this little happiness was particularly valuable. There are many things he has to overcome, but there are very few things that can make him happy.
Cheng Yujin is the only joy he encountered after his life was arbitrarily manipulated by fate. Over the years, he has been calculating and earning profits, but only Cheng Yujin is what he really wants.
After Cheng Yuanjing finally figured out what he was thinking, he felt light, and the irritability that had been bothering him for a long time seemed to have finally found its source. Anyway, Cheng Yujin can't get married this year, he has enough time to plan. If he gains a firm foothold a year later, it will not be difficult to choose a favorite prince concubine for himself.
Therefore, the only thing Cheng Yuanjing needs to guard against is Cheng Yujin himself. Cheng Yuanjing couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows when he thought of this. His niece was not a worry. He was not worried that the Cheng family would be messed up, but he was more worried that Cheng Yujin would marry herself off.
Another day, he will call Lin Qingyuan over and give him another point.
Since Cheng Yuanjing counted one-third of his belongings in front of everyone that day, Qingfu County Master and Ruan Family had a complete falling out. All of them wanted to take advantage, and all felt that the other party was not a good thing, and now that Cheng Yumo was getting married soon, because of the dowry, there were many confusions involved.
It turned out that Mrs Ruan wanted to give Cheng Yumo some money from Cheng Yujin's dowry, but Qingfu County thought it wasn't her own money, so she was too lazy to appear as a villain. But if the Nguyen family wanted to smuggle one-third of the property of the Duke's family, it would be impossible. Cheng Laohou is dead, and the title should belong to Cheng Yuanxian. The money in the public school was originally owned by everyone. Qingfu County Master can't tolerate such a thing, new hatred and old hatred are superimposed together, and he immediately quarreled with Nguyen.
The Marquis of Yichun has been especially lively these days. Cheng Yujin threw a bait, and then she, the original party, was relieved, holding tea, and watching the play leisurely.
A few days before the wedding, Forsythia whispered to Cheng Yujin: "Miss, I heard that the eldest wife refuses to use Gongzhong's property to add a dowry to the second lady. The second lady is very angry, crying in front of the old lady all day long. Listen. Said that I cried for a long time tonight, and said that the two young masters were studying, and the expenses were high. The second miss was really distressed, so she let go of her dowry and kept 2,000 taels for the Ruan family to subsidize her family."
Cheng Yujin laughed when she heard a puff, shook her head, and sighed sincerely: "Stupid. There aren't many people as stupid as her, and a woman will depend on her dowry for her next life. She's good, and she took the initiative to keep 2,000 taels for her family. people."
In fact, Cheng Yujin could vaguely guess what Cheng Yumo was thinking. She just felt that she and Huo Changyuan had a good relationship, and that her husband's family would give her money in the future, and she also wholeheartedly felt that her parents and brothers loved her. Will definitely give back to her.
Cheng Yujin was noncommittal about this idea. After all, it was someone else's business, and Cheng Yujin would not care about it. She can only bless Cheng Yumo, hope that her husband will turn to her between her mother and daughter-in-law, hope that Cheng Yumo will not encounter a deficit with the housekeeper, and hope that Cheng Yumo's two younger brothers will really repay her sister when they develop in the future.
After all, the Huo family spent a lot of money on betrothal gifts, and Cheng Yumo only brought back a little of the dowry, any in-law's family would say in their hearts. And the Huo Xue family is especially stubborn and difficult to deal with.
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Yumo's wedding arrived. As the only sister, Cheng Yujin had to go to the new house to accompany the bride to dress up. Cheng Yujin was wearing a red shirt with a white background, and the moment she stepped into the red-painted new house, she was in a trance.
At that moment, Cheng Yujin seemed to be standing in her previous life. She was still Cheng Yujin in her previous life. This was her own wedding. She was all red, and was about to marry the husband-in-law, Huo Chang Yuan, whom she rescued in the snowy night.
