Zhai Yanlin was displeased, he knew he had no position, but every time he thought of this possibility, he felt anger in his heart.
Seeing that Zhai Yanlin's face was bad, the attendant of Cai Guogong's mansion was about to speak, but Zhai Yanlin reached out his hand to stop him. With fire in his eyes, he motioned for them not to come forward to make trouble.
At this moment, Cheng Yujin's eyes widened in amazement. She was surprised and surprised. She thought that Xu Zhixian was just talking about it last time.
Cheng Yujin was stunned. She originally thought that Xu Zhixian liked Cheng Yumo, but she still thought so until just now. However, today is Cheng Yumo's wedding, Xu Zhixian is no different, and he happily surrounds him to join in the fun, Cheng Yujin knew that he was probably wrong. It seems that Xu Zhixian is really just a good cousin and sister to Cheng Yumo.
Mistaking the relationship between Xu Zhixian and Cheng Yumo may be Cheng Yujin's misjudgment, but she never thought that Xu Zhixian really wanted to marry her. A man may sympathize for the first time because of his mother's request, but he will never ask a second time after the woman refuses. Cheng Yujin doesn't have much experience in getting along with men and women, but she still understands these basic principles.
Therefore, Xu Zhixian is not joking, he is real and wants to marry her.
But why? Cheng Yujin has always felt that she is not very attractive to men. Her well-mannered appearance is most popular with female elders, but in the eyes of men, she is a bit rigid and boring. Cheng Yujin knew that compared to Cheng Yumo, she was not good at getting along with teenagers her age. She is not as coquettish as Cheng Yumo, and it is difficult to find common topics in conversation. On the contrary, she is very good at treating them as younger brothers and sisters.
In a different place, if Cheng Yujin was a man, she would not like her character, let alone expect others. However, it doesn't matter, because the mother-in-law has the right to speak in marriage. Even if she gets married, the women she needs to deal with for a long time are her mother-in-law, sister-in-law and other women. So after the two sides weighed, Cheng Yujin completely gave up the men's market, which he was not good at, and specialized in the circle of noble ladies. She knows what kind of daughter-in-law Gaomen's mother-in-law expects, and her goal for many years is to make herself such a standard template.
But now, Cheng Yujin doubted her eyes a bit. She admitted that Cheng Yumo and Xu Zhixian's relationship was wrong, and even misjudged Xu Zhixian's thoughts? How could this be
Cheng Yujin was silent for a while before she whispered, "Second cousin, what do you mean by that?"
"That's what you heard." Xu Zhixian was a little nervous unconsciously, he stared at Cheng Yujin and said, "I was surprised that my mother suggested that I marry you. I didn't react, and you didn't come here. Coincidentally, I didn't hear the latter, so I misunderstood. In fact, I am very willing to marry you, and even think that I will live with Sister Jin in the future. Busy with homework, but I know a lot of fun things, and we can do it together later."
Xu Zhixian thought about it for two months after returning home, almost to the point of not thinking about tea and rice. As long as he is free, the appearance of Cheng Yujin and what Cheng Yujin said to him will appear in front of him. Xu Zhixian was secretly distressed for a long time, and finally made up his mind to make it clear to Sister Jin in person on the day of the second cousin's wedding.
Xu Zhixian mustered a lot of courage to say these words, and after he finished speaking, he was relieved, his eyes were lacquered, and he looked at Cheng Yujin expectantly.
Cheng Yujin's eyes became even more confused, and she almost doubted her cognition over the years. She never felt that Xu Zhixian liked her, and she didn't even think about it at all. Could it be that many of the things she thought were wrong before
However, even if Cheng Yujin's cognition collapses, he is still more rational than emotional. Cheng Yujin quickly reacted, it doesn't matter whether Xu Zhixian likes her or not, and when he has a good impression of her, she and Xu Zhixian will not be together, so does the ins and outs of this relationship, the right and wrong, matter
Not important at all. There is no need to do something that is bound to have no results. Cheng Yujin calmed down in an instant. She smiled and said, "Second cousin, I thank you for your kindness, but this is about women's festivals. I have already been remarried once, and I can't experience it again."
"Sister Jin?"
"Second cousin, you treat me with sincerity. I am very grateful. However, between us, it is impossible. Aunt and you are my relatives and are willing to consider me, but the old lady of Changguo Palace is not, I can't For the sake of myself, I will put you at a disadvantage. Anyway, I want to be filial to my grandfather, so I don't have to worry about these bad things this year. After a year, if I can get married, I will get married. If no one proposes marriage, my lonely old Cheng family will also No problem. I know that the second cousin is for my own good, and I also thank the second cousin for his kindness, but after all, it is impossible for us. "
Cheng Yujin paused, and said in a calm, rational, almost cold voice, "Cousin should forget what auntie said."
forget? How can I forget this? Xu Zhixian was anxious and couldn't help but take a step forward: "Cousin, I'm not out of pity, I'm serious."
"I know." Cheng Yujin gestured to Forsythia and stopped Xu Zhixian calmly. She looked at Xu Zhixian and finally told the truth cruelly: "My daughter's family is the most vulnerable, if cousin doesn't want to force Damn me, don't say these words again in the future."
Xu Zhixian's footsteps stopped, and the originally bright and bright eyes were like a mirror falling to the ground, and the light suddenly shattered.
Seeing Xu Zhixian calm down, Cheng Yujin put her hands together in front of her, and smiled gracefully: "Second cousin, we will still be cousins in the future, right?"
"… Yes."
"It's so good. Second cousin, look at how lively the second sister's wedding is today. When the second cousin passes by, you can't forget me. Anyway, let me see what the other half of the wedding looks like, okay?"
Xu Zhixian understood what Cheng Yujin meant. He couldn't tell whether his heart was sour or bitter. He wanted to try his best to smile at Cheng Yujin, but the smile he squeezed out was uglier than crying: "Okay."
"Thank you cousin." Cheng Yujin said goodbye to Xu Zhixian from afar, and then left. Both sides of the corridor were decorated with lanterns and colorful, and Cheng Yujin was standing on the stone slab in a white dress, which was out of tune with the two sides. With only one maid, she was thin and lonely in the corridor, but she walked without turning back and soon disappeared.
Xu Zhixian stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and was almost enchanted. This is his sister Jin, who is always firm and clear, and who never needs pity from others.
He is also one of them.
Cheng Yujin said goodbye to Xu Zhixian, and she was very worried along the way. Forsythia treats herself as an invisible person, and does not speak or disturb Cheng Yujin's thinking along the way.
Today's events had a great impact on Cheng Yujin. She was thinking about things in her heart, but she didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation.
Cheng Yujin almost fell, but fortunately Forsythia saw the opportunity quickly and helped Cheng Yujin behind her.
Zhai Yanlin didn't expect her to bump into her directly, he quickly stretched out his hand to pick it up, but Cheng Yujin's maid had already helped Cheng Yujin stand up first. After Cheng Yujin stood firm, she immediately stepped back several steps to widen the distance.
Zhai Yanlin retracted his hand regretfully. He looked at Cheng Yujin with a meaningful smile on his face: "Miss Cheng, what happened, you left in such a hurry that no one in front of you even noticed?"
Cheng Yujin calmed down and spoke calmly again: "The little girl is reckless, Cai Guogong forgives her sins. However, Cai Guogong should follow Huo Houye to welcome his relatives, why is he here?"
At first, Zhai Yanlin was very angry when he found out that Cheng Yujin and Xu Zhixian met in private, but after listening to the conversation between her and Xu Zhixian, Zhai Yanlin was surprised. The pride of some men welled up repressedly. Cheng Yujin rejected Xu Zhixian without hesitation, which made Zhai Yanlin very satisfied.
Zhai Yanlin thought to herself, although Cheng Yujin provokes bees and provokes butterflies, but fortunately, she knows etiquette, righteousness, integrity, abiding by the rules, and does not tug at men. Overall, she is still worthy of the position of successor to Duke Cai's mansion.
With a different smile on his lips, Zhai Yanlin said, "Miss Cheng is nervous, is it because I'm afraid I hear something I shouldn't hear?"
Cheng Yujin's face changed, and she didn't even want to pretend to be polite. This prince thinks too much of himself. Who does he think he is, and what qualifications does he have to ask her about her private affairs
Cheng Yujin took back her smile. She always had a perfect smile when she met everyone, and her temperament was gentle and kind.
"Cai Guogong said carefully, firstly, you are a foreigner, and you should avoid suspicion when you encounter a family member. Second, although you are noble, but you are not my elder, I am afraid you are not qualified to discipline me, right?"
The smile on Zhai Yanlin's face suddenly froze. He just heard a very exciting play, and he deliberately came over to tease Cheng Yujin, and he naturally spoke in a tone like a cat teasing a mouse. Zhai Yanlin thought that Cheng Yujin would be shy and even angry, but he never thought that Cheng Yujin would dare to accuse him in person.
Zhai Yanlin was stunned for a moment, but he didn't answer: "You..."
how dare you? Few people dare to talk to him like this, let alone a woman
Cheng Yujin kept telling herself that this was Cai Guogong and could not be offended, so she reluctantly resisted the urge to curse. Cheng Yujin continued to swear politely and politely: "I don't know why Cai Guogong turned into the inner house again. Although our Cheng family is not as powerful as Cai Guogong's mansion, there are still boundaries between inside and outside. It's really rude to say that we have no one to show the way. , let Cai Guogong accidentally walk into the inner house boundary, and overheard me and my second cousin gossip. This is really our negligence. Guogong doesn't know how long he has been listening, but I don't know at all. Guogong rest assured, for a while I will punish the servants who watch the yard, and make sure they learn the principles of hospitality."
How could Zhai Yanlin not understand that Cheng Yujin was scolding him with irony, he was choked, and it was the first time he found that Cheng Yujin's tongue was so clever. He is a well-respected prince in the court, and he can't say anything to refute at this moment. He was angry in his heart, and his aura that belonged to a high-ranking prince was suddenly suppressed: "Miss Cheng, outsiders say that you are virtuous and sensible. Is that how you talk?"
After all, Zhai Yanlin is the prince of the state and is in charge of military generals. He has practiced in the military camp with his aura. When he deliberately uses his aura to overwhelm people, it is really scary. No matter how powerful Cheng Yujin is, she is still a lady of the boudoir. In terms of age and resume, she is very immature. Her face turned pale, forsythia was even more sweaty, and she took a step back while holding Cheng Yujin's arm.
Zhai Yanlin didn't want to embarrass women, especially young and beautiful women, but if he didn't give Cheng Yujin a good look, she couldn't recognize her position.
He was just curious about Cheng Yujin, so he gave her some more privileges, but it didn't mean that she could be coquettish or even take Joe with him.
Women can't be condoned, and once they are condoned, they have to go a long way. Relying on petting, they try to point fingers at men. A woman is only an accessory to the back house, and her most important duty is to have children for him to play with. If you think you can manipulate and interfere with him, it is a big mistake.
Seeing Cheng Yujin's pale face, Zhai Yanlin lowered his head quietly, and finally gave birth to some satisfaction. He was about to speak when a voice suddenly inserted from the side, and a figure walked around the shadow wall door and walked straight towards them.
"Just tell me if Cai Guogong has anything to say, what to scare her for a little girl?" Cheng Yuanjing came out from behind the shadow wall, first gave Zhai Yanlin a heavy look, then turned to Cheng Yujin, stretched out his hand, "Come here."
Cheng Yujin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately walked towards Cheng Yuanjing. When approached, Cheng Yuanjing reached out and held her wrist, placing the person directly beside him.
Cheng Yujin stood behind Cheng Yuanjing, and the pressure just now was relieved. At this time, she was no longer afraid of Zhai Yanlin, and even wanted to raise her head and give him a stern look.
Zhai Yanlin saw with his own eyes that Cheng Yujin was at a stalemate with him, but when he saw Cheng Yuanjing, he breathed a sigh of relief. Zhai Yanlin narrowed his eyes and looked at Cheng Yuanjing coldly: "Why is Jing Xing here if he doesn't go to marry him?"
"What about Duke Guo?" Cheng Yujin was afraid of Zhai Yanlin, but Cheng Yuanjing was not. He looked back calmly and forcefully, and slowly asked: "Cai Guogong doesn't go to greet his relatives, so what's the matter with privately questioning my niece?"
