Cheng Yujin looked at Lin Qingyuan as if she was looking at a piece of fat. She realized that her eyes were too explicit, so she hurriedly lowered her head and coughed, and said, "The little girl has no shape, it makes Brother Lin laugh."
Lin Qingyuan blushed when he heard Cheng Yujin's sentence, "Why not?" He didn't dare to look at Cheng Yujin, his eyes wandered on the ground. Hearing Cheng Yujin speak, he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I shouldn't have said these things to the eldest girl. It's my fault for being abusive to the eldest girl."
Cheng Yujin smiled and said, "Brother Lin is too polite. These words have never been said to me. You are willing to trust me and say these words to me. I'm too happy to say these words. How can it be abrupt?"
Lin Qingyuan was startled for a moment, then looked up at Cheng Yujin: "Big girl..."
"Brother Lin is sincere to his future wife and considers her at all times. The future Mrs. Lin is indeed the luckiest person in the world." Cheng Yujin sighed, looking a little sullen, "Although I am the eldest daughter, But everyone knows that I was adopted. Although I have been well-fed, I have never really been able to get close to my mother. And my second aunt also has a younger sister, so I don't need me. I often feel that I have nowhere to go, For example, when my second sister came home today, everyone was talking around her. I was divorced from my marriage and I was not suitable to stay for a long time, so I quietly withdrew. Fortunately, I met Brother Lin on the way, otherwise, I don't know where I should go. ."
Where did Lin Qingyuan encounter such a battle before, he was immediately stunned. The girl in front of her was beautiful and quiet. She lowered her head and sighed softly. She always showed everyone that she was smart, generous, and considerate. Who would have known that she was also vulnerable at times
Lin Qingyuan's heart was instantly shattered into pieces, with pity and emotion. He didn't even dare to amplify his voice, and persuaded softly, "You don't need to belittle yourself, the eldest lady, you have done a good job. Whether it's the eldest or the second wife, they must be very happy to have such an excellent daughter as you. Maybe it's just They didn't tell you."
Cheng Yujin shook her head with a smile. Although she was smiling, her expression was distressing. Cheng Yujin looked outside and said, "Brother Lin doesn't have to comfort me, life is like drinking water and knowing oneself, I understand. I just envy those women who are expected and placed properly. The second sister has been provoked since childhood. People are in pain, she is in bad health, and she is prone to disasters and illnesses, and her family is careful to protect her. If I hadn't robbed my sister of nutrients in my mother's womb, maybe the second sister would not have gotten sick since childhood. "
Lin Qingyuan couldn't listen anymore, gentlemen don't talk about people's right and wrong, but Cheng's family has such virtue? After the child is born, the health of the child is innate, so what does it mean to blame the second girl for being weak and sickly on the older girl
Lin Qingyuan was not angry, and looked at the woman in front of him with more pity: "Eldest girl, this is not your fault at all. It's a pity that the second girl is weak, but you are also a child, and these have nothing to do with you."
Cheng Yujin smiled lightly, her face hard to hide her paleness and weakness: "Thank you, Brother Lin. I was frightened when I was young, for fear that I would do something wrong and make my second sister sick, but when I grow up, I don't care so much. When my sister is married to her sweetheart, the Marquis Jingyong treats her wholeheartedly and holds her as a treasure, which can be regarded as fulfilling her wish, and goodness has a good end."
Lin Qingyuan was uncomfortable listening to it. He didn't know what was wrong with his memory, but it suddenly became very good. Lin Qingyuan almost immediately remembered that Jingyong Hou was originally Cheng Yujin's fiancé.
This... The original fiancé married his younger sister and was obedient to his younger sister. No wonder Cheng Yujin couldn't stay in the main room and walked out quietly. If it were him, he couldn't be sane.
Lin Qingyuan felt that the Cheng family's actions were inappropriate, to the extreme! The eldest girl is so smart and sensible, and it must be the treasure of the whole family in the Lin family. As a result, in Cheng's family, she was burdened with the original sin that did not belong to her since she was a child. When she grew up, she gave up the marriage to her sister. Now that her sister, ex-fiancé and her family are happy, Cheng Yujin has to take the initiative to avoid it. Lin Qingyuan was so angry that he could not wait to bring Cheng Yujin to their house to save himself from such idleness.
Lin Qingyuan suddenly felt a sudden shock in his heart. Pull Cheng Yujin to their house
Cheng Yujin continued: "Actually, I have no obsession with Duke Jingyong. He doesn't like me anyway. Since my sister likes him and he likes my sister, it's best to let lovers get married. I'm in the middle. What? It's good to have a good relationship, but the road ahead is a bit difficult for me."
Lin Qingyuan was so shocked by his excessive thoughts that his whole body was stiff, and now his heart was still pounding, and his blood was unbelievably fast. He felt that he was so rude, how could he have such abrupt thoughts about Miss Cheng? But thoughts always don't follow reason. Once this idea arises, Lin Qingyuan can no longer control it.
He kept thinking that his mother had urged him many times, both secretly and explicitly, to let him get married quickly. Although his father didn't say it explicitly, he was also looking forward to him getting married and having children. His parents were from aristocratic families, and they liked women who were knowledgeable, wise, gentle and generous. Although the Marquis of Yichun was not from a scholarly family, Miss Cheng was full of poetry and books and had a soft temperament. Her mother would definitely like her when she saw her.
Lin Qingyuan found that the more he wanted to go too far, he was desperate, and quickly ordered himself to stop. Just as Cheng Yujin was speaking, Lin Qingyuan continued to ask, "What's so hard to get out of?"
"Lin Zhuangyuanlang is so confused." Cheng Yujin smiled and said, "How can I talk about a good family after I have retired once? I don't care if I'm lonely or old all my life, but I can't drag the family down. If I live in the mansion all the time, my niece and nephew in the future, How should I say kiss? So, my grandmother found me a widower. I lost my wife for a year, and I haven't remarried. My grandmother said that although the other party is older than me and my son is not young, but after all, he is the wife. My situation is here. , I can't even fill in the house if I pick it up again. Moreover, the other party already has a son, so my pressure can be relieved a lot, and I just need to live in another place. "
The more Lin Qingyuan listened, the tighter his brows became, what is it that Miss Cheng is wronged to be the successor? The other party's wife died, and even his son is not young, how old must he be? Lin Qingyuan subconsciously painted the image of a man in his forties and fifties with a pot belly, his brows furrowed even tighter.
Cheng Yujin wanted to smear Zhai Yanlin's image behind his back, without any psychological pressure. Anyway, she didn't lie, Zhai Yanlin is indeed older than her, and her son is not too young, he is six years old.
Lin Qingyuan didn't know that the "widowmaker" in Cheng Yujin's mouth was the famous Cai Guogong, and naturally he didn't know that although this marriage was a continuation, it was actually no worse than Huo Changyuan.
Naturally, he made up for a scene in which a wretched old man forcibly married a young woman in distress, which made him angry. Lin Qingyuan was very angry, and was very worthless for Cheng Yujin: "Miss, you are smart and considerate, knowledgeable and reasonable, what a blessing it would be for a man in the world to marry you, how can an old and incompetent man who only bullies others, how can he be worthy of you It's really outrageous for you to be insulted like this!"
If Cheng Yujin hadn't forced herself into the play, she would have almost burst out laughing. Lin Qingyuan's words were well scolded, and Zhai Yanlin, the bastard, deserved to be scolded, and Cheng Yujin listened very happily.
Cheng Yujin held back her laughter and continued to hold the gentle and courteous image, but the ill-fated eldest lady said sadly: "But, what can I do? My grandmother was afraid of his power and did not dare to refuse. He became more and more aggressive and said two times. God wants people to come to propose marriage. Of course I don't want to, but I can't ignore the Cheng family. If I make trouble, I'll be easy to die, but what should my parents and family do? "
Lin Qingyuan was angry and distressed, clenched his fists tightly, and asked, "Big girl, who is this person? Lang Langqiankun, how can he be domineering, I don't believe that there is no kingly law."
Cheng Yujin shook her head and refused to name the other party: "Brother Lin, I know you are well-intentioned, but don't ask, I can't cause you trouble."
Lin Qingyuan was stunned for a while, and finally lost his strength suddenly. He was hot-blooded just now, and his words were impassioned, but he quickly calmed down. Lin Qingyuan is not a young man who doesn't know the world. In the past few years in his official career, his naivety and passion have been polished away. In the capital, the crouching tiger hides the dragon, and the still water is deep, even the son of the Gonghou family would not dare to offend anyone rashly. Cheng Yujin's grandmother is the old lady of Hou's mansion, and he is just like that. He is only a small sixth-rank official. What can he give Cheng Yujin to get justice
Lin Qingyuan was speechless, and after a while, he asked blankly, "Is there no way I can do it?"
"It's not nothing." Cheng Yujin lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling, "Even if the other party is powerful, he can't forcefully rob a civilian girl. If I have a marriage contract with someone, he can't do anything no matter how mad. Where can I find my fiancé?"
Saying that, Cheng Yujin sighed and looked sad: "I'm delusional, this method is impossible to achieve, let's not talk about it."
Lin Qingyuan's lips moved and then hesitantly said, "Actually, it's not completely impossible."
Cheng Yujin raised her head and looked at him quietly with a pair of beautiful eyes, innocent and puzzled. Lin Qingyuan has been arguing with others for so many years, and for the first time, he feels that he is not articulate. He couldn't help but blush behind his ears, suddenly summoned up his courage and said, "Miss Cheng, look..."
Cheng Yujin's eyes lit up when Lin Qingyuan spoke. She had been acting for so long, and the fish finally took the bait. The corners of Cheng Yujin's mouth could not help but bend slightly. Her expression at the moment was completely different from the strong and weak "Miss Cheng" just now.
Cheng Yujin realized that she was exposed, but she felt that everything was a foregone conclusion, and Lin Qingyuan would not notice such small flaws. Cheng Yujin smiled, looking forward to waiting for Lin Qingyuan to finish speaking.
Lin Qingyuan really didn't notice the subtle changes in Cheng Yujin's expression. He was nervous and excited now, so he didn't have the time to pay attention to other things. He wanted to say "look at me", but he just finished saying "look" when the door was suddenly pushed open.
Lin Qingyuan was taken aback, and the word "I" that was about to be blurted out immediately swallowed back into his stomach. Cheng Yujin didn't expect this change, she immediately stood up, and after only two steps, she saw a man standing outside the door, wearing black clothes painted with gold, leather belts around her waist, and eyes like cold stars.
Cheng Yuanjing didn't know how long he had been here, but his eyes swept across the room slowly, and he smiled softly: "It seems that I came by accident?"
Lin Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, surprised and happy: "Jing Xing, you are back!"
Lin Qingyuan was stimulated by the unexpected surprise, how could he still remember what he had just said. He also didn't notice that Cheng Yujin stood up before him, walked out before him, and even her expression at the moment was not at all what a gentle and weak young lady should have.
Lin Qingyuan greeted Cheng Yuanjing and pulled Cheng Yuanjing to speak. Cheng Yuanjing didn't look at him, but crossed Lin Qingyuan and looked at Cheng Yujin in the center of the room.
Cheng Yujin was stunned for five or six seconds, and at that moment she even suspected that her eyes were wrong. She blinked hard, and seeing that the figure in front of her did not disappear, she closed her eyes even harder.
However, the sky obviously couldn't hear her voice, Cheng Yujin opened her eyes again, and her heart was broken when she saw that person still standing in front of her.
Omg.
For the first time, Cheng Yujin wondered if he had been lowered. Isn't Cheng Yuanjing busy returning to the East Palace, why did he come back suddenly? . She shouldn't be so unlucky, she met Lin Qingyuan today, and Cheng Yuanjing came back just today and today. Even if he is late, a cup of tea is enough!
No, Cheng Yujin reacted suddenly, Lin Qingyuan was about to say the most crucial sentence, but was interrupted by Cheng Yuanjing. Is there such a coincidence in the world? When did Cheng Yuanjing come, how long did he come, and how much did he hear
Cheng Yujin couldn't help but look at Cheng Yuanjing suspiciously, but before she raised her eyes, she met Cheng Yuanjing's gaze. Cheng Yuanjing was also looking at her.
Cheng Yujin's mixed emotions of doubt, anger, grief and anger suddenly collapsed like a balloon with a needle in its eye. She lowered her head silently, revealing only the fluffy back of her head.
She knew she was done.
Cheng Yuanjing hated others to lie to him the most. Cheng Yujin promised him at the beginning, and even swore an oath to ensure that he would be at ease and filial piety this year, and would not disturb his mind.
Who knew he was back today? As long as Cheng Yuanjing said it in advance, Cheng Yujin would definitely change the game, why was he caught.
Cheng Yuanjing was furious, but became calm. He glanced at Cheng Yujin silently, although she bowed her head obediently, showing full meekness, but Cheng Yuanjing was very sure that she had no regrets at all, and even planned to come again next time.
Simply fantastic.
Cheng Yuanjing didn't say a word, and walked into the house unhurriedly. Cheng Yujin heard the slow and steady footsteps getting closer, her calf softened. Cheng Yujin pinched herself hard, raised her head, used her life's acting skills, and smiled at Cheng Yuanjing: "Ninth Uncle, you are back!"
Cheng Yuanjing looked at her and smiled: "I didn't have time the day before yesterday, I came back today to seal up the New Year's money for you, but I didn't expect my eldest niece to be easy to find."
Cheng Yujin's brows twitched, Cheng Yuanjing was not related to her, and in private, Cheng Yuanjing always called her by her name. Only when he was angry would he call her eldest niece threateningly. Even if Cheng Yuanjing had a cold face, it would be fine. He was as calm and calm as before, but it made Cheng Yujin even more scared.
It's over, this time His Royal Highness was really angry.
Like a deflated ball, Cheng Yujin sat down with Cheng Yuanjing. After she sat up, she raised her eyes. Good guy, Cheng Yuanjing sat in the position she had just now.
The tea stove was still bubbling with bubbles, Cheng Yuanjing glanced down at the dense mist, and said, "You guys are very interested, sit here and make tea."
Cheng Yujin's brows jumped, and she quickly asked Du Ruo to withdraw the boiled water. Cheng Yujin sat next to Cheng Yuanjing, occupying only a small group, she raised her head and smiled at Cheng Yuanjing, and said, "Ninth uncle, this tea has been brewed for a long time, and the tea is already old. Nine uncles have both civil and military skills, and have a unique style, which I admire from the bottom of my heart. Ninth Uncle, how can you let Ninth Uncle use inferior things? Du Ruo, get new water."
Du Ruo was also very frightened, so she quickly carried her things out and changed to fresh water. Cheng Yujin re-tested the fire, boiled water, poured tea, with a serious attitude and professional skills, which were several grades higher than before.
The difference between the two times is obvious, and it can be seen that this is Cheng Yujin's true level. One is conscientious and perfect, and the other is easy to do.
Lin Qingyuan only knew at this moment that Cheng Yujin was not serious at all just now. He looked at it for a while and said sourly, "Sure enough, there is a difference between inside and outside. With Jing Xing around, Miss Cheng is willing to come up with the best things."
Cheng Yujin glanced at Cheng Yuanjing quietly, flattering her eyes without blinking: "Of course, I admire Uncle Jiu the most. Of course, his things must be different from others."
Lin Qingyuan listened to the tsk, but fortunately he knew that they were uncles and nephews, otherwise his goosebumps would have been sour.
Cheng Yuanjing felt a little better when he heard the difference between inside and outside, and Cheng Yujin immediately admitted, which made him feel a little more relaxed. However, relying on these little tricks to get away with it, it's still a long way off.
Cheng Yujin has been paying attention to Cheng Yuanjing's expression. After she finished speaking, seeing that Cheng Yuanjing didn't answer, she knew that she was not in the game. She sighed sadly, sealed the tea skillfully with her wrist, divided the cups, and then presented the first cup of tea to Cheng Yuanjing.
Cheng Yujin raised her head, blinked and called, "Ninth uncle."
Her voice was deliberately softened, and it seemed that there were nine to eighty-one turns in just two words. Cheng Yuanjing had originally decided to let her go, but when he met her eyes, he couldn't bear to show her face in front of outsiders.
Cheng Yuanjing reached out to take the tea cup, and Cheng Yujin was really relieved. After that, she poured out the second cup of tea and handed it to Lin Qingyuan.
After Cheng Yuanjing came in, Lin Qingyuan felt a thorn in his back and something was wrong, but he thought it was just his own delusion. Cheng Yujin's obvious distinction made Lin Qingyuan a little concerned, but then he thought that Cheng Yuanjing was Cheng Yujin's uncle, and felt completely understandable.
My family should always be closer, and it's normal that Lin Qingyuan can't get past.
In fact, Lin Qingyuan really wanted to continue the topic just now, but Cheng Yuanjing was here, and it was inconvenient for him to say those words. And times have changed, and many words have changed after that scene. Lin Qingyuan felt a little regretful, so he could only swallow the remaining half of the sentence without mentioning it for the time being.
With Cheng Yuanjing around, Lin Qingyuan couldn't speak directly to Cheng Yujin, so he could only turn to Cheng Yuanjing: "Jing Xing, why have you been away from home for so long? Is there anything urgent that happened?"
"No." Cheng Yuanjing said lightly, "It's just a private matter."
Cheng Yujin heard the pouting, private affairs, private affairs that can affect the general trend of the world.
Cheng Yuanjing said that it was a private matter, so Lin Qingyuan was inconvenient to ask again. Moreover, Lin Qingyuan trusted Cheng Yuanjing inexplicably, and always felt that no matter what happened, as long as it was handed over to Cheng Yuanjing, there would be no serious problem. His tense mind was relaxed, and he gradually talked about the trivial matters of life.
Cheng Yuanjing listened to Lin Qingyuan for a while, and asked unhurriedly: "It's the New Year's Day, even if the Lin family's ancestral home is not in the capital, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of deliveries in the past few days. Why do you remember Chengfu?"
Lin Qingyuan gave an "oh" and answered without defense: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I was bored at home, so I wanted to come to you to borrow books. I was planning to leave the house after hearing that you were gone, and I happened to meet Cheng Cheng on the way. Miss."
Cheng Yujin's head lowered a little, Cheng Yuanjing glanced at Cheng Yujin with a smile, and said, "What a coincidence."
"Yeah, what a coincidence." Lin Qingyuan was thoughtful, and did not notice the subtle and unusual atmosphere on the opposite side, but said carelessly, "I came to find you to borrow Linyuan Poetry Collection and Jiuzhai Miscellaneous Talk, and the eldest girl said that these two are just right Ben put it with her, and she has already asked the maid to go back to find it. After waiting, I was bored, and the eldest girl made tea."
Cheng Yujin wanted to stop but couldn't stop it, but Lin Qingyuan was still a big heart, so what to say. When Lin Qingyuan finished speaking, Cheng Yujin just wanted to dig a hole to shut herself up.
Her heart was ashes, and she quietly glanced at Cheng Yuanjing. Cheng Yuanjing rubbed the porcelain cup with his fingers, and even put a smile on his mouth: "Linyuan Poetry Collection, Jiuzhai Miscellaneous Talk."
Cheng Yuanjing said and looked at Cheng Yujin with a smile in his eyes: "These two books are with you?"
Obviously not, Cheng Yujin was just talking nonsense. She sent the maid back to look for it, but of course she couldn't find it. However, why did she find something like a book? She forgot her excuse and lent Lin Qingyuan a book of her own. When Lin Qingyuan came to return it, she would naturally look for her again. There is a story between them.
Cheng Yujin raised her head, her eyes were weak, innocent, and pitiful: "Ninth uncle."
