"Question?" Zhai Yanlin was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, "I just talked to Miss Cheng, so it's not a question, right?"
"Cai Guogong put on the posture of interrogating the prisoner, facing a little girl, do you think it's just casual words?" Cheng Yuanjing's face did not have a very obvious expression, but when he spoke, the words were very important, and he was deliberately calmer than Zhai Yanlin. The face should be more powerful. "She is not your subordinate, let alone your relatives. Cai Guogong is not qualified to speak to her in this tone."
The expression on Zhai Yanlin's face was also difficult to look at. He stared at Cheng Yuanjing and said, "I talked to Miss Cheng, abide by the etiquette and rules, and Miss Cheng didn't say anything. Cheng Langzhong first came out to point fingers. To be the master of Miss Cheng? It's too much nosy."
"Why, what does it have to do with you?"
Zhai Yanlin was angry, and Cheng Yuanjing's eyes were also cold, implying danger. Cheng Yujin felt that Cheng Yuanjing was really angry this time, she quickly tugged at Cheng Yuanjing's sleeve, and said, "Ninth uncle, today is the wedding of the second sister, we are the masters, Cai Guogong is the guest, we should value harmony. "
We are the master, Cai Guogong is the guest. Cheng Yuanjing was moved, he knew that Cheng Yujin meant that they were both surnamed Cheng, representing the Houfu of Yichun, but the word "we" was like a husband and wife.
Cheng Yuanjing couldn't help but look down at Cheng Yujin, the coldness around him seemed to melt a crack in an instant.
When Zhai Yanlin heard Cheng Yujin say "we" to Cheng Yuanjing, but treated him as a guest, he felt unhappy. Cheng Yujin comforted Cheng Yuanjing, and then looked at Zhai Yanlin: "Cai Guogong, this is an inner house, and it is not convenient for men from outside to move around. It is our master's disrespect that Cai Guogong entered the boundary of the inner house by mistake. I will let the maid lead the Guogong out."
Cheng Yujin stopped after finishing speaking, and then mentioned it in a very casual tone: "Guo Gong, my cousin and I are brothers and sisters playing with each other today. People know, but after all, this matter is related to the famous festivals of the two governments. If gossip spreads, it will be difficult for my aunt to do it. My cousin and I have grown up together since we were young, and we have a deep relationship with our brothers and sisters. I don’t want to because Some unwarranted rumors made me and my future cousin divorced. Therefore, please don't mention today's affairs to outsiders, the little girl is very grateful. "
What about Cheng Yujin and Xu Zhixian? Cheng Yuanjing heard the brows move, and glanced at Cheng Yujin calmly. What did Xu Zhixian say? What does this kid want to do
And Zhai Yanlin frowned when he heard Cheng Yujin's words. He seemed to hold back his anger and said, "Miss Cheng, do you think I'll tell you what happened today? In your heart, I'm just such a person?"
Cheng Yujin thought to herself who cares who you are, but she smiled politely and said, "It would be better if Cai Guogong didn't know it. Thank you Guogong."
Zhai Yanlin was still so angry that he wanted to come forward to make a theory, but only then did he make a move, Cheng Yuanjing's eyes immediately swept over as a warning. Cheng Yujin was also like a frightened deer, instinctively pulling Cheng Yuanjing's sleeve and hiding behind him.
Zhai Yanlin stopped in place, angry and jealous. He was angry just now that Cheng Yuanjing crossed the line, and he was also angry that Cheng Yujin didn't trust him, but it couldn't compare to this moment. Cheng Yujin subconsciously hid behind Cheng Yuanjing.
The fire in Zhai Yanlin's heart almost broke through the sky.
Cheng Yuanjing patted Cheng Yujin's shoulder soothingly, and bowed his head: "It's none of your business here, you go back to rest first."
Cheng Yujin was eager to leave, but she looked up at the two, walking hesitantly. Cheng Yuanjing patted her hair lightly and said, "You don't have to worry about anything, just go back and rest."
Cheng Yujin knew that Cheng Yuanjing was not a trivial person, and she even trusted Cheng Yuanjing to be better than herself. After Cheng Yuanjing said this, Cheng Yujin really felt a lot more at ease. She smiled at Cheng Yuanjing and said, "Okay. Ninth Uncle, I'll retire first."
When Cheng Yujin smiled, she was bright and gentle. She looked back at Zhai Yanlin, and the smile on her face faded almost instantly. Cheng Yujin bowed politely to Zhai Yanlin across the half aisle, then turned to leave.
Zhai Yanlin's face was extremely ugly. She trusted Cheng Yuanjing and smiled at Cheng Yuanjing. Cheng Yuanjing asked her to go over and she walked over without thinking, but he just moved a little bigger, and she ran away like a frightened deer. What was especially irritating was that she subconsciously fled behind Cheng Yuanjing.
Zhai Yanlin didn't know when he started paying such attention to Cheng Yujin. At first, Zhai Yanlin thought that Cheng Yujin would be a good wife, a good mother, and suitable to be his step-wife, but later, Zhai Yanlin heard more and more deeds about the eldest girl of the Cheng family, and he also had the same label for Cheng Yujin in his heart. Fades a little. On the contrary, the rest are her frowns, smiles, every move, a real her.
Now, Zhai Yanlin knows that he wants to marry Cheng Yujin, not because Cheng Yujin will be a good wife and mother, but because of her. Zhai Yanlin didn't think anyone would reject Cai Guogong's marriage proposal. He thought of Cheng Yujin as his new wife. There was only one difference between them. He only had to talk to Mrs. Cheng to solve it.
The old lady of the Cheng family was a philistine snobby, and Zhai Yanlin knew nothing better. Mrs. Cheng would not disagree, Zhai Yanlin thought contemptuously, even if Cheng's family was in trouble, he just wanted to ask him for more betrothal gifts. Zhai Yanlin despises this kind of attitude very much, but who makes this Cheng Yujin's family. It's just something extraneous, and it's okay to give them more.
Therefore, Zhai Yanlin will be so unbearable when his future wife gets close to other men in front of him. In fact, Zhai Yanlin was also a little surprised, but it's just a woman, why did he have such a big reaction
Zhai Yanlin also went to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion when he was young. Few of the arrogant and arrogant children did not go to these places. Some brothel women deliberately lead two male guests to be jealous in order to tie down their guests. Zhai Yanlin has seen many such scenes, but even when he was young and vigorous, he never had such a big emotional ups and downs for a woman. .
Zhai Yanlin was secretly alert, but no matter how much he thought about it, when he looked up and saw Cheng Yuanjing, his jealousy rose to the sky, and all the psychological construction he had done just now was burnt clean. Cheng Yujin walked away with the maid, and Cheng Yuanjing no longer pretended, the disguise on his body suddenly disintegrated, as if a dusty sword peeled off the cotton surrounding it, revealing the real blade.
Cheng Yuanjing at this time was completely different from what Cheng Yujin had seen.
Seeing Cheng Yuanjing's change, Zhai Yanlin showed a cold smile on his lips, and he tried his best to release his murderous aura, confronting him tit for tat: "Cheng Yuanjing, you deliberately sent her away, what do you want to say?"
"It's nothing, just remind you." Cheng Yuanjing said with a cold brow, "The Duke Cai's mansion and the Huo family are not in the same camp in the army, and there is little contact. "
Zhai Yanlin wasn't annoyed when he was spotted wearing it. Instead, he admitted it generously: "Yes, Huo Changyuan and I have nothing to do with each other. I just want to take the opportunity to see someone."
Having said that, it has been basically said, the atmosphere between the two is extremely tense, and the hostility is real. Cheng Yuanjing and Zhai Yanlin looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.
Opposites attract, same-sex repel, two men with the same idea are most sensitive to each other. When Zhai Yanlin first saw Cheng Yujin, he had a good impression. At that time, when he looked at Cheng Yuanjing, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that something was wrong with his uncle and nephew. In other words, Cheng Yuanjing was wrong.
As an uncle, Cheng Yuanjing's eyes, movements, and tone were all over the top. This should not be looking at the eyes of the younger generation.
Today, as soon as Zhai Yanlin showed up, Cheng Yuanjing immediately noticed that Zhai Yanlin's intentions were impure and he had no good intentions.
They were scruples about Cheng Yujin just now, but now that Cheng Yujin is away, the hostility of the two to each other is no longer concealed.
Zhai Yanlin said, "Miss Cheng has broken off the engagement and is now waiting for her to marry her. Why not ask for marriage?"
Cheng Yuanjing heard the word "beg for marriage", his eyes were sharp, and his eyes were almost frozen: "You? Why?"
"Just because I am the Duke of Cai, a third-rank military general, as long as she passes through the door, she will become the wife of the Duke, and she will live a life of prosperity and wealth, and will not worry about food and clothing." Zhai Yanlin is very confident in himself, he is the Duke of the country, and he is tall. Jun Lang, in recent years, some women have been rushing up one after another, so Zhai Yanlin never thought that any woman would reject him. He asked Cheng Yujin to be the main room directly. If Cheng Yujin knew, she would happily agree.
With a determined smile, Zhai Yanlin said, "She is smart and virtuous, with her own rules, and she gets along with Zhai Qing. She will become a good wife and mother in the future. As long as she marries me, she will be stable and rich all her life, and she will never have to make a living. Worrying, and as soon as you pass the door, you will be the clan wife, so you don't have to look at others to live."
Cheng Yuanjing chuckled lightly, obviously disliking him very much. Zhai Yanlin was stimulated by Cheng Yuanjing's expression, he narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"
Cheng Yuanjing's smile was fleeting, like ice in the sun, a knife with a sharp edge, looking at it from a distance only cold: "Of course she will be a good wife, but it won't be yours."
"What did you say?" Zhai Yanlin asked in a deep voice.
"Your so-called wealth, money and power are not worth mentioning at all. What can you bring her? A six-year-old son, a concubine, and a complicated family environment. You have nothing, why do you want to snatch it away? she?"
Zhai Yanlin was so angry that if these words came out of someone's mouth, Zhai Yanlin would not hesitate to scold the other party for not knowing what to do, but Cheng Yuanjing said these words. Although Cheng Yuanjing is not a high-profile person, everyone who has seen him secretly said that this person should not be underestimated and his future is limitless. The wealth status Zhai Yanlin is proud of is really nothing in the face of Cheng Yuanjing and the huge potential he represents.
And the shortcomings mentioned by Cheng Yuanjing are like steel and iron bones, and they cannot be faked at all.
Zhai Yanlin was angry, he narrowed his eyes, and suddenly said: "Cheng Yuanjing, you are just her uncle, not her father. The daughter should be avoided, not to mention the uncle and nephew? Who will Miss Cheng marry in the future? What does it matter to you? You seem to care. too many."
The older generation of the Zhai family had an old relationship with Old Marquis Cheng, and Zhai Yanlin also vaguely heard about Old Marquis Cheng's entanglement. Cheng Yuanjing was brought back from the outside when he was six years old. Although he was on the Cheng family tree, it was not necessarily the blood of the Cheng family. Looking at Cheng Yuanjing's attitude towards Cheng Yujin, Zhai Yanlin's man's intuition told him that Cheng Yuanjing might not really be Cheng's family.
But so what? It is not easy for a man with unknown blood to climb the big tree of Yichun Hou's mansion. Can Cheng Yuanjing change his surname? Since Cheng Yuanjing will not leave the Cheng family, then whether he is the son of Old Marquis Cheng or not, he and Cheng Yujin are uncles and nephews. No matter who Cheng Yujin marries, she will never marry him.
Cheng Yuanjing's aura became sharp in an instant. He looked at Zhai Yanlin and said, "I don't need you to worry about my affairs. She doesn't like to discipline children at all, and she doesn't like to be controlled. Your family is not suitable for her. In the future, don't go there. disturb her."
Zhai Yanlin was startled, he wanted to continue talking, but Cheng Yuanjing had already turned around and left without looking back.
This is just a warning, Cheng Yuanjing does not intend to discuss with him.
Cheng Yujin returned to her yard and asked Du Ruo to make a cup of hot tea. She was holding the tea cup, and her thoughts gradually drifted to what happened just now.
Ninth Uncle, oh no, His Royal Highness, he and Cai Guogong are talking alone, shouldn't there be a problem
Cheng Yujin was thinking about it when a maid's greeting came from outside. Cheng Yujin was stunned for a moment, then immediately put down the tea cup and got up: "Ninth Uncle?"
Forsythia has entered the door facing Cheng Yuanjing. Cheng Yuanjing was still cold when he entered the door. When he came in and saw her, the coldness in his eyes became better.
Cheng Yuanjing was a rare guest, so Cheng Yujin hurried forward to entertain in person. She asked the maid to change the tea, rearrange the seats, and then sat opposite her seat, pouring a cup of hot tea for Cheng Yuanjing herself: "Ninth Uncle, why are you here? Did Cai Guogong say something?"
Cheng Yuanjing's eyes fell on Cheng Yujin's fingers. The porcelain cup has a cyan glaze, the color is transparent, and the touch is delicate. Cheng Yujin's fingers are long and white, printed on the cup as blue as the lake, with a slight shimmering light.
Cheng Yuanjing retracted his gaze vaguely, he took the tea cup, lowered his head and took a sip, with a light tone: "It's nothing."
After he finished speaking, he paused, and then asked very casually, as if he was just mentioning it casually: "What do you think of Zhai Yanlin?"
