Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing walked behind. I don't know if Cheng Yuanjing did it on purpose or not. The two of them walked slowly along the way.
When Cheng Yujin returned, the story of the garden had already spread among the female family members.
Mrs. Cheng sat in the incense room and kept looking out. Seeing Cheng Yujin coming in, he quickly waved: "Miss, come here quickly."
"Grandmother." Cheng Yujin held the old lady's hand and sat next to the old lady. Mrs. Cheng didn't care about the presence of outsiders, and asked her, "You and the second aunt just went to the garden to enjoy plum blossoms, and happened to meet the saint?"
Cheng Yujin nodded, this matter could not be concealed from everyone, she did not need to deny it. How to end is something that Cheng Yuanjing and the emperor should consider, she only cares what she has to say.
Mrs. Cheng covered her heart and let out a long breath: "I actually met the Sage! The Sage even condescended to ask about the title of the Huo family, my God!"
Mrs. Zhai didn't leave either. When she heard these words, she didn't bother to ask Cheng Yujin if she had met Zhai Yanlin on the road, and hurriedly asked: "Is this true? What else did the sage ask?"
Cheng Yujin picked up what she could say, and stated the matter in a leisurely manner. After hearing this, Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Zhai both showed the same expression: "No wonder, the Holy Master personally asked, no wonder Mrs. Jingyong Hou was directly summoned by the Queen Mother as soon as she entered the door."
Cheng Yumo was called away by Empress Dowager Yang? Cheng Yujin didn't know about this, she asked, "Second sister went to see the queen mother?"
"That's right." Mrs. Cheng nodded, looking at Cheng Yujin's unspeakable regret, "You too, why are you walking so slowly. I told the second aunt to wait, but I didn't see you when I waited and waited, Huo Xue. Shi couldn't wait, so she took the second aunt directly to meet the queen mother. If you came back a little earlier, you would also be able to benefit from the Huo family and be lucky to meet the queen mother. "
Cheng Yujin realized that it was no wonder that Cheng Yuanjing was walking so slowly along the way. She was helping her avoid the Queen Mother Yang. Cheng Yujin didn't regret not being able to see the queen mother at all, but felt fortunate instead. However, why did Cheng Yuanjing not want her to see Empress Dowager Yang
Perhaps, she did not want Empress Dowager Yang to see her
Cheng Yujin thought for a while, but couldn't really guess the reason. Mrs. Cheng sighed for a while, but if the opportunity was missed, it was missed. Cheng Yujin just didn't have this blessing, what could Mrs. Cheng do.
At this moment, even Mrs. Zhai couldn't help sighing: "The title has been taken care of by the Sage himself, and now it has been several years, the Sage still remembers their home, and even met them in the garden, so he deliberately stopped to ask about the past. It can be seen that Huo Chang Yuan has deeply penetrated into the emperor's heart. The Huo family, I am afraid it will take off!"
Cheng Yujin said in her heart that you are thinking too much, Huo Chang Yuan is nothing more than a shield, and the emperor stopped not because of the Huo family, but just to talk to his son. However, there are few people who know the truth. After the emperor personally inquired, Huo Xue and Cheng Yumo were also summoned by the queen mother.
When Cheng Yumo and Huo Xue's family returned from Xiangji Temple, the corners of their eyes and brows were full of pride, and they couldn't hold back. Huo Xue's face was proud, and Cheng Yumo was also proud.
These things didn't exist in the previous life. Cheng Yumo didn't expect that Huo Chang Yuan would become rich faster and earlier in this life than in the previous life. Before the prince returned, Huo Chang Yuan was valued by the saint. Cheng Yumo felt more and more that her life was good, and the gold would shine wherever it was, which showed that her husband-in-law had great skills and would be appreciated by the master no matter where he was placed.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yujin might become the step-wife of Cai Guogong's mansion, and Cheng Yumo didn't care so much. Her brother Chang Yuan is so promising, Cheng Yujin missing Huo Chang Yuan is definitely the worst thing in her life. Anyway, the biggest benefit has already fallen into the hands of Cheng Yumo, and it doesn't matter much for Cheng Yujin to be a thankless successor.
Everyone in the Houfu of Yichun was both happy and bitter about this. They watched the Huo family suddenly prosper, and the cars and horses were flowing. The Huo Xue's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were sought after wherever they went. fell down.
In fact, Yichun Hou's mansion has always been inferior to Jingyong's mansion, but it was not so obvious before. The feeling of watching relatives and friends prosper while he is still standing still is not a good feeling. The Lord of Qingfu County is sour, but Ruan Shi, on the other hand, has swept away his low-key and became particularly proud.
Back from Xiangji Temple, it is very close to the New Year's Eve. The female family members were unable to take a rest, and threw themselves into the preparations for the New Year. At the end of the twelfth lunar month, the Qingfu County Lord and the Ruan family had a bit of trouble.
In fact, Qingfu and Nguyen have been showing signs of disappearing for a long time, but Qingfu used to be strong and Nguyen was timid. Every time there was a conflict, Nguyen gave in, and the life in the backyard could go on smoothly. But this time, Ruan's uncharacteristically did not back down. The Qingfu County master saw that Ruan's dared to rob her and exploded the hair, and the matter became a big one.
After the Lord Qingfu returned from Shou'an Tang, he was so angry that he threw things in the room and cursed. The dowry maid saw that the princess of Qingfu was so angry that she couldn't sit down. She was afraid that Qingfu would be so angry, so she hurried up to persuade: "Madam, you are the dignified princess, and you will soon become Mrs. Hou in the future. What does she know as a woman from a small family? She has a low background, has short knowledge, and has never seen anything good. If the wife is more serious with her, wouldn’t she be flattering her?”
Although the dowry mama didn't say it clearly, the "she" in her mouth made it clear that it was the Ruan family. Qingfu County Master was helped by his mama to sit on the Luohan bed, but he was still upset: "Why don't I know about this, but I just can't stand her arrogant face."
The dowry maid knelt on her feet and slowly gave the Lord Qingfu a blessing. Seeing that Qingfu County Master's breath was upside down, he asked, "Madam, what is it that makes you so angry?"
"Today, the tailor sent in a few brocades, and I liked the golden phoenix wearing peony. I should pick it first. In the end, before I even spoke, she robbed me and wanted the phoenix. Wearing peony pattern brocade. I can't stand it, and after I said a few words to her, she even slapped her nose on her face and contradicted me!"
Qingfu County Lord remembered the scene at that time, but he was still very angry. Seeing this, the dowry maid hurriedly brought tea to the Lord of Qingfu County, and said, "Madam, don't be angry, it's not worth your body to be angry because of her."
The Lord of Qingfu County took the tea cup, lowered his head and sipped the tea, somehow suppressing the fire in his heart. County Master Qingfu put down the tea cup, raised his eyes and said, "How many good things have I seen in my mother's house, even after I get married, there is a special cloth shop under my hand, how many pieces of cloth do I care about? Something bigger than sesame seeds. , that's why she came over to grab it, and it's not too embarrassing. In the end, it's not that the son-in-law's family has gained power, and she has also become mad. "
Qingfu County Master sneered and snorted coldly: "It's just that she was asked a few more questions by the sage, and she didn't even have a certain number of promotions. Before the Huo family did anything, she started shaking. Do something wrong."
The dowry mother heard these words and did not answer. She didn't see how the dowry was in fact, but the Ruan family was arrogant, and the Qingfu county master could not comment well. I am afraid that when the fabric was selected, the Qingfu County Master was also very mean, and the Ruan family refused to let it go, so the quarrel started.
However, as a slave maid, the dowry maid would never say anything about the master's fault. What the master said is what it is. Anyway, the county owner can never make mistakes, it's all the sluts outside.
The dowry maid listened to Qingfu's scolding, and after thinking that Qingfu's anger was almost out, she whispered: "Madam, even if you say so, but the honest words are hard to listen to, and the good medicine is bitter. There are always a lot of villains in this world. Huo. After all, the family is valued by the sage, and it is only a matter of time before it takes off in the future. The second lady robbed the eldest of the marriage, and now she is the wife of the Huo family. The trend, I am afraid, has only just begun.”
How could Princess Qingfu not know this truth? She cursed loudly, but she wasn't actually jealous. Originally, this marriage belonged to Cheng Yujin, but now that the tide has risen, and she was recommended to be admitted to the Guozijian, it should be her son.
The owner of Qingfu County hated the second room shamelessly for stealing Cheng Yujin's marriage, and hated Cheng Yujin for not being able to live up to his expectations, failing to win over the man, and took the initiative to call off the marriage. She clenched the tea cup tightly with her fingers and thought about it for a while, but she gradually calmed down.
Sai Weng loses his horse, how can I know it is not a blessing. Cheng Yujin now has no chance of remedy.
The Lord of Qingfu County settled down, put down the tea cup, and said loudly, "Go and invite the eldest girl over."
Cheng Yujin has been behind closed doors in her room for the past few days. When she heard that Qingfu sent someone to look for her, she thought that it was probably not a good thing. When I walked in and took a look, my guess became clearer.
Cheng Yujin saluted the Lord of Qingfu County unhurriedly, as if no matter what happened, it couldn't affect her. After Cheng Yujin said hello, she stood aside with a smile and asked, "I was just saying that I was going to greet my mother, but it happened that my mother asked someone to ask. Is there anything my mother can't do with me?"
Qingfu County Lord carefully looked at the person in front of him. Although Cheng Yujin was her daughter, Qingfu rarely looked at Cheng Yujin in the past few years, and naturally he didn't pay attention to what Cheng Yujin looked like. Looking at it today, the Lord of Qingfu County realized that it turned out that Cheng Yujin had grown up to surprise everyone without knowing it, and she was an out-and-out beauty.
Moreover, it is not the kind of weak Liu Fufeng, Xiaojiabiyu-style beauty, men like delicate and pitiful beautiful women, but women may not be able to have a good impression. If a delicate beauty is water, then Cheng Yujin's beauty is a painting, upright and perfect, even a strand of hair is delicate. No one can pick a single fault, beautiful, cold, and even inhuman.
Even if a malicious enemy stares at Cheng Yujin for a long time, it is hard to say that she is not good-looking.
I don't know if such a man likes Qingfu, but Qingfu County Lord likes it very much. Quiet, demure, and irreproachably beautiful, what a perfect gift.
No wonder there are other dignitaries moving without Marquis Jingyong. The smile on Qingfu County's mouth deepened, she took the initiative to hold Cheng Yujin's hand, pulled Cheng Yujin to her side for the first time, and asked warmly, "I've been too busy for my mother these days, and I didn't manage your birthday. , you won't give birth to bitterness, will you?"
Cheng Yujin wanted to withdraw her hand at the moment when Princess Qingfu met her, but she held back and said with a smile, "Of course not. What is your mother talking about? I am your own daughter, and I understand you best. How could I have a estrangement with my mother?”
"It's good if you understand." County Master Qingfu smiled more and more satisfied. She took off an agate bracelet from her wrist and slid it directly onto Cheng Yujin's wrist. Cheng Yujin wanted to withdraw her hand, but was held down by Qingfu: "Although your birthday is not a big deal, I have always kept it in my heart. This is my compensation for you. Your birthday ceremony is prepared separately."
If you really worry about it, you don't have time to hold a banquet for her that day, and don't even have time to give gifts? Cheng Yujin did not reveal it, but smiled and acted with Qingfu: "Thank you mother. I don't even know how to repay my mother for doing this to me."
The Lord of Qingfu County smiled. She looked at the woman in front of her as if she was looking at a gold mine that could not be explored to the bottom. Qingfu didn't notice it at first, but now she found out that her adopted daughter was a piece of raw jade ore.
Qingfu County had some ideas and said: "Miss, I don't expect more, I just ask that you marry a good family in the future, so don't forget your roots. Although Cai Guogong's mansion is taking the road of joining the army, it has been passed down for many years. The accumulation is also very rich. In the future, when you are in front of the prince, as long as you can remember your parents’ home, and ask the prince to help and support Bao’er, I will be satisfied.”
Cheng Yujin and the master of Qingfu County pretend to have a deep relationship with their mother and daughter, and they just want to elicit the real purpose of the master of Qingfu County. No matter how nice it sounds, Cheng Yujin's ears always pass by, she just wants to know the other party's true intentions.
But she didn't expect to hear such a sentence.
Cheng Yujin's smile faded: "Mother, what do you mean by that?"
"You're still pretending to be shy with me!" Qingfu County Master had a teasing look on her face, she smiled self-righteously, and the smile fell in Cheng Yujin's eyes, which was dazzling, "I know your girls are thin-skinned. , I'm embarrassed to admit it. But my mother has spoken to me, Cai Guogong intends to be with you. After the new year, I will find someone to formally say that after your filial piety period is over, I will take over the government and become the country's wife. "
The smile on Cheng Yujin's face disappeared completely, is Zhai Yanlin going to marry her? She thought that she had made it clear to Zhai Yanlin at Xiangji Temple that day. Zhai Yanlin clearly knew Cheng Yujin's request, but he had the face to propose marriage to the Cheng family, and even stabbed Mrs. Cheng directly in front of him!
