After Cheng Yujin and Zhai Yanlin walked away, they met Cheng Yumo who "lost accidentally" in a short while.
Cheng Yumo probably guessed what happened just now, she didn't ask anything, neither of them spoke, and walked towards the garden silently.
This place is very close to the garden, and after passing through the two doors, Cheng Yujin smelled the cool fragrance of plum blossoms.
Cheng Yumo naturally smelled it too. She endured all the way, and finally couldn't help it at this moment, and quietly turned to look at Cheng Yujin.
Cheng Yujin's face was calm and cold, and she couldn't see what had just happened. Cheng Yumo pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, "Eldest sister, I seem to have seen the servants of Cai Guogong's mansion just now."
Cheng Yujin knew that she couldn't hide what happened just now, so she nodded and admitted generously: "Yes, I just met Cai Guogong by accident. Cai Guogong was going to find Mrs. Zhai. I heard that Mrs. Zhai was talking to her grandmother, so she came over and asked. Two words for me."
This reason sounds reasonable, but Cheng Yumo knew that these words were all played by Qiao.
Cheng Yumo responded without looking into it. She lowered her head to think about her thoughts, and couldn't help but look at the people walking by her side.
Cheng Yujin wore a gold-painted jacket on a white background today, with a light red pleated skirt underneath. When she came to accompany the empress dowager, she couldn't always wear white, so she compromised between filial piety and celebration. Although the color of the clothes is plain, the fabrics are first-class and first-class. They don't look shabby, but they make her stand out like a white plum in the snow.
Cheng Yumo stood by Cheng Yujin's side. From Cheng Yumo's point of view, Cheng Yujin's profile line was delicate and his skin was white, like fine porcelain. The jacket skirt was originally dignified, and it became more solemn and noble when she wore it on Cheng Yujin. She walked slowly in the Xiangji Temple surrounded by Sanskrit sounds, and she could not tell the mystery, like a dream like a picturesque.
Cheng Yumo's heart was sour. Originally, Cheng Yujin was supposed to be Mrs. Jingyonghou, but she came back from rebirth and explained the truth early, and the position of Mrs. Jingyonghou fell to her. Cheng Yumo always felt that this was the price that Cheng Yujin should pay. She took her place in her previous life and made herself suffer so much.
But Cheng Yumo didn't expect that, after all this, Cheng Yujin could turn the tables against the wind. At the beginning of the year, he was divorced from the Jingyonghou mansion. It didn't matter. In the summer, he was praised by the emperor himself. In June, he bumped into the filial piety period of Lord Cheng, and then Mrs. Cheng came forward in person, saying that Cheng Yujin should stay at home in the form of the eldest grandson to keep filial piety. Mrs. Hou can no longer be the wife of the prince, but now there are frequent visits from the government of the state, wanting to hire Cheng Yujin to go back to be the lady of the state.
It's really maddening to compare people.
Cheng Yumo really didn't understand. After being divorced, she acquiesced that this woman had been abolished. No matter what the reason was, it was an indisputable fact. of.
Cheng Yumo originally thought that Cheng Yujin was bound to be useless in this life.
In this way, the result can still be favored by Cai Guogong
Cheng Yumo's heart is really hard to say. The lady of the country is one level higher than her Mrs. Hou. If Cheng Yujin really gets married to the mansion of the Duke of Cai, wouldn't Cheng Yumo have to salute when she sees her
Cheng Yumo was very tired inside. The state of Cai Guogong's mansion in the future is far inferior to that of Jingyong Hou's mansion, and it is not obvious now. In a few years, Huo Changyuan will be reused by the crown prince, and his official position will advance by leaps and bounds. When he sees the Huo family in Beijing, everyone will give three points of face. Cheng Yumo went out to socialize, and all the ladies of the public court, and even the princess were polite when they saw her.
Cheng Yumo understood that even if Cheng Yujin became the lady of the country, she would not be as good as her in the future. But Cai Guogong's mansion is an old-fashioned honor after all. No matter what, there is a title to support it, and there is nowhere to go. Cheng Yujin's marriage to Cai Guogong's mansion can definitely be regarded as reborn and reborn from the ashes. This made Cheng Yumo stuck in her throat, and she felt very uncomfortable every time she thought about it.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and neither of them wanted to speak, so they walked silently all the way to the garden. The plum blossoms in the garden were splendid and fragrant, but unfortunately neither Cheng Yujin nor Cheng Yumo was in the mood to enjoy the flowers at the moment.
The two of them pretended to walk in the sea of flowers, then moved to a pavilion and sat down to keep warm. Cheng Yujin was thinking about the next thing, Zhai Yanlin was so ridiculed by her that she would never think of marrying her again. However, marriage is a two-way street. The Zhai family has already solved it, but Mrs. Cheng still has to find a way to dispel her thoughts.
Cheng Yujin was fascinated by her thoughts, and Cheng Yumo also looked down at the carvings on the railing, wondering what she was thinking.
The maids noticed that the two masters were not in the right mood, so they did not dare to make a sound, and there was a strange silence in the pavilion. In the silence, voices and footsteps in the other direction became particularly noticeable.
Cheng Yujin quickly regained his senses. The garden of Xiangji Temple is different from the garden of Cheng's family. Of course, anyone can come here. The voice of the other party was a man, and there were still a lot of people listening to the footsteps. Cheng Yujin had not left the cabinet and was still observing filial piety, so he was unwilling to meet the male outsider, which would cause another issue.
When Cheng Yujin stood up, Cheng Yumo also reacted. She originally planned to avoid it like Cheng Yujin, but seeing Cheng Yujin, Cheng Yumo's mind turned a corner and changed her mind for some reason. She beckoned to the maid and said, "I don't know which man is coming from outside. You go and tell them that Mrs. Jingyong Hou is here and let them avoid it."
After Cheng Yumo finished speaking, she wanted to look noble and awe-inspiring, but she couldn't help but secretly look at Cheng Yujin's reaction out of the corner of her eyes, and she couldn't hide the proud show off.
Cheng Yujin's heart is clear, Cheng Yumo is showing off with her on purpose. Cheng Yumo believed herself to be Mrs. Jingyong Hou, and refused to avoid men, but let others avoid her. In fact, it's nothing to do. The strong is king, and the powerful have the capital to be arrogant, but it's a bit ridiculous for Cheng Yumo to do this.
Cheng Yujin smiled lightly, but did not speak. Of course it's good if you don't have to move the place, anyway, Cheng Yujin is very happy to be embarrassed. The maid received Cheng Yumo's order and turned around and went out. After a while, those footsteps came towards them.
Cheng Yumo was at a loss, not knowing what was going on. When he got closer, he realized that the leader was Huo Chang Yuan.
Cheng Yujin couldn't help but "yo" in her heart, dared to say that the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, and Cheng Yumo went to expel her family
Cheng Yujin tried to hold back her laughter, and she stood up with everyone's movements. When Cheng Yumo saw Huo Chang Yuan, he was first surprised and then overjoyed. Cheng Yumo rushed towards Huo Chang Yuan subconsciously, she lifted her skirt and took two steps, seemingly inadvertently glanced at Cheng Yujin.
Then in front of Cheng Yujin, he happily greeted Huo Changyuan: "Master Hou!"
Huo Chang Yuan caught Cheng Yumo subconsciously, Cheng Yumo took Huo Chang Yuan's hand, and naturally took his arm and hugged him by his side. Cheng Yumo's active intimacy is nothing, in front of so many people, his wife is so dependent on him, which is a very respectable thing. But as soon as Huo Chang Yuan looked up and saw Cheng Yujin was there, he was a little embarrassed.
He moved his arms, trying to make Cheng Yumo stand up, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only nod his face: "Miss Cheng."
Cheng Yujin also nodded to Huo Chang Yuan with a polite and decent smile: "Master Huo."
The greeting between the two is decent, it is a very standard in-law greeting pattern that is not too close. Huo Chang Yuan didn't know why something was wrong, Cheng Yumo was too clingy to him, but Cheng Yujin was indifferent. Huo Chang Yuan couldn't tell why he was lost. After greeting Cheng Yujin, he didn't know what else to say, so he could only be silent.
For a time, the scene fell into a cold scene.
At this time, the people who stayed in the same place seemed to hear a sound and came over voluntarily.
Huo Chang Yuan was talking when he entered the garden, and he was obviously not alone. Later, Cheng Yumo sent someone to clear the field, and Huo Chang Yuan knew that Cheng Yumo was also there. The maid was so frightened that her tongue was knotted, she stammered and said "Mrs. Hou is in front" without mentioning Cheng Yujin. As a husband, Huo Chang Yuan couldn't walk away without saying hello, and the people who were traveling with him seemed not interested in seeing Huo Chang Yuan's family, so they stopped and waited.
But at this moment, the other party took someone and walked straight to the pavilion.
Cheng Yujin and Huo Changyuan went silent after saying hello. She folded her hands in front of her, her expression was light and dignified, and she stood upright on the pavilion. She was wearing a cloak and held a stove in her hand. She stood on the steps with many maids. The red plums behind her were glowing, and she looked like a palace map from a distance.
When Cheng Yuanjing approached, he saw such a scene.
Cheng Yumo snuggled up beside Huo Changyuan, turned around when she heard footsteps, and saw Cheng Yuanjing, she was very surprised: "Ninth uncle, are you there too?"
Huo Chang Yuan finally found the opportunity, took a step back quietly, and explained, "I met Jing Xing in the front hall, we chatted for a while, and walked into the garden without noticing."
It turned out that the person who was talking to Huo Chang Yuan just now was Cheng Yuanjing. Cheng Yuanjing heard that Mrs. Jingyong Hou was in the pavilion and had no intention of talking to Cheng Yumo. He didn't come over until he heard Cheng Yujin's voice just now.
Cheng Yumo also wanted to understand, she felt embarrassed and angry. She is a niece like Cheng Yujin, and Cheng Yuanjing's partiality is blatant.
Cheng Yujin stood in the pavilion, her sight was blocked by a clump of plum trees, and she did not immediately find Cheng Yuanjing. She first heard footsteps approaching, and then Cheng Yumo turned back and shouted in surprise, "Ninth Uncle, are you here too?"
Cheng Yuanjing? Cheng Yujin was also taken aback, she immediately handed the stove to Du Ruo, carried her skirt, and walked down the steps quickly. The pure white cloak was swept across the steps, with a few red petals glued to it.
Cheng Yumo was angry and Cheng Yuanjing was eccentric. Huo Changyuan saw Cheng Yujin's performance, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. Cheng Yujin has been standing coldly on the high pavilion, and even if she sees him, she just nods with a smile, a polite and distant smile, a standard aristocratic greeting. But just listening to Cheng Yumo shouting Ninth Uncle and seeing no one, Cheng Yujin's eyes changed, and she immediately ran down the steps with her skirt in hand.
Should the differential treatment be so obvious and not concealed at all
Cheng Yujin walked quickly, the cloak rolled up a small airflow, bringing a fragrance of plum blossoms. Just at this time, another group of people also bypassed the bushes, and without the cover of the tree branches, the whole picture of the person headed was presented to them.
"Uncle Nine!"
Cheng Yuanjing stretched out his hand and caught Cheng Yujin firmly: "What are you running, there is still snow on the ground, be careful slipping." He immediately found that Cheng Yujin's hand was empty, and asked, "Where is your stove?"
Cheng Yujin didn't have the heart to pay attention to these. When she saw the person in front of her, she suddenly felt a strong sense of disobedience.
She originally thought that seeing Huo Chang Yuan in the garden was a coincidence, but at this moment, Cheng Yujin had a question mark in her heart.
Others might not know, but Cheng Yujin knew very well that Cheng Yuanjing and Huo Changyuan were completely unfamiliar. Not to mention whether Cheng Yuanjing will visit the garden without a purpose, even if he really wanted to come out to relax, he would never look for Huo Chang Yuan.
Cheng Yujin couldn't help but remember that the emperor also accompanied Empress Dowager Yang out of the palace to give incense today. For this reason, the court praised the emperor for several days, all praising the emperor's filial piety.
Cheng Yujin felt her hands tremble.
Cheng Yuanjing ignored Cheng Yujin's expression, he raised his head and glanced at Du Ruo, Du Ruo instinctively shook his hands, and immediately presented the small hand stove. Cheng Yuanjing took it, and seeing that the stove was still burning enough, he shoved it into Cheng Yujin's hands with satisfaction.
Something was suddenly placed in his palm, and Cheng Yujin held it subconsciously. She has no intention of caring about what she is holding now. She looks at the person in front of her and wants to see even the slightest fluctuation on his face.
Unfortunately not. He is tall and tall, lined with the red plum blossoms behind him, even more slender and tall, indifferent like jade. Cheng Yuanjing found that a leaf had fallen from Cheng Yujin's hood. He stretched out his hand freely and picked the dead leaf out of Cheng Yujin's hat.
Huo Chang Yuan watched the two of them talk without anyone else, picking up leaves. At that moment, Huo Chang Yuan even suspected that he was the newly married person, right? Why are Cheng Yuanjing and Cheng Yujin acting like newlyweds.
Huo Chang Yuan and Cheng Yumo were ignored for a long time, he could only cough and say, "Jing Xing, it's windy here, why don't you talk in another place."
Cheng Yuanjing didn't take his eyes away, and said casually: "Okay, let's go back to the gazebo just now."
Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yumo had no choice but to walk towards the pavilion. After the two of them turned around, Cheng Yuanjing lowered his head and saw that Cheng Yujin was still looking at him intently and carefully.
He lowered his head and looked at Cheng Yujin, and suddenly smiled in such eyes. He took off the petals stuck in Cheng Yujin's hair and said, "Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal."
Cheng Yuanjing obviously understood Cheng Yujin's thoughts. This sentence sounds ordinary to other people's ears, but in Cheng Yujin's ears, it is completely different.
The conjecture in her heart was confirmed, and she became more and more uneasy. Is it really no big deal? Cheng Yuanjing suddenly spoke to Huo Chang Yuan, and suddenly appeared in the garden, it was definitely not a whim.
However, there were many people around at the moment, so Cheng Yujin couldn't ask, so she had to endure her worries and sit back in the pavilion. Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yumo are husband and wife, sitting together at the moment, Cheng Yujin didn't pay attention, and naturally sat next to Cheng Yuanjing.
After they sat down, the maid lowered the curtain to block the wind. Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yuanjing were chatting from time to time. Several people were talking when suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance of the courtyard.
It seems that the other party intends to travel in small clothes, but he has only one share of the pomp, and the faces of several people in the pavilion suddenly turned pale.
Cheng Yujin finally understood what Cheng Yuanjing just said "it's not a big deal", and the emperor came to the garden to see plum blossoms.
It's not a big deal to hell, Cheng Yujin hurriedly stood up, and glared at Cheng Yuanjing when others weren't paying attention.
