Cheng Yujin stood in front of the corridor, with a strong gate behind her, and a mighty cold wind blowing the snow overnight. She reached out to pick up the snow outside the pillar, and that part of her wrist was whiter than snow.
The snow fell on the palm of the hand and soon turned into a puddle of water. Cheng Yujin retracted her hand and laughed at herself: "Forget it, I'm telling you what to do. How would you understand."
Cheng Yuanjing looked at the snow on the eaves silently after he took it with one hand. How could he not understand
He was born in the most honorable royal family, his father was the honorable man of ninety-five, and his mother was the original wife and queen. In terms of background, probably no one in the world was taller than him. But what's the use of that, his mother died early and made room for the daughter of a powerful minister. His father's biggest resistance was to keep his wife filial for a year and make him the crown prince. Cheng Yujin said that although she has both parents, but no one cares about her at all, why is this not the case for Cheng Yuanjing
Cheng Yujin didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this to Cheng Yuanjing. Maybe too much happened today, maybe Cheng Yuanjing had seen her at her worst, or maybe, with so many bad things happening today, only Cheng Yuanjing has been around. beside her.
Cheng Yujin retracted her hand, she took two steps, and suddenly looked back with a fierce look: "You have already admitted my words in front of your grandmother today, we are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can run away. You are not allowed to run away in the morning. Talk to others, and don't even talk back!"
The sudden fragility quickly dissipated, and Cheng Yujin returned to being a sensible and decent eldest girl in the Houfu of Yichun. Before leaving, she did not forget to threaten witnesses.
Cheng Yuanjing looked at Cheng Yujin deeply, that kind of gaze made Cheng Yujin scared for some reason, as if there was a bottomless coercion. She was a little frightened and didn't dare to face the ninth uncle at the moment, but it was embarrassing to show weakness after saying ruthless words, Cheng Yujin had to give him a demonstrative look, pretending that she had other urgent matters, and quickly left.
She took two steps and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when she suddenly heard a voice behind her: "You're going wrong."
"Um?"
"That's the way back to my yard."
In Jingyong Hou's mansion, Mrs. Huo Xue was sitting on the huanghuali carved wreath chair, and after a long time, she felt out of breath.
She slammed the tea cup on the table, the tea foam splashed on the corner of the table, and the dark red brocade pad showed different shades of watermark: "It's really deceiving, they have done so many pickling things in their own homes, what's the matter? Telling my son to resign from the marriage? What is even more irritating is that eldest girl who, for some reason, dared to tear up Zhang Yuan's marriage certificate in public!"
Huo Xue's family was so angry in Yichun Hou's mansion that Huo Chang Yuan just wanted to withdraw from his relatives and didn't want to make trouble, so he stopped Huo Xue's family from having an attack. Huo Xue's family has been holding up the door alone for more than ten years, and she is very tough in front of outsiders, but when she encounters her only son, she is obedient and obeys Huo Chang Yuan in everything.
For example, when Huo Chang Yuan broke off the marriage today, Huo Chang Yuan said he wanted to retire if he didn't like it. For example, when Cheng Yujin tore up the marriage certificate, Huo Chang Yuan said not to pursue it.
Qin Xin, a maid with a face beside Huo Xue, wiped the water droplets with a handkerchief, and then knelt on the ground to give Huo Xue's back: "Old Madam, what is your identity, what is the identity of the Cheng family, what are you and them angry about? The Cheng family has never held important positions in the court for two or three generations, and only hangs on the empty title to get paid, while our Marquis is a young and talented man. Famous. Those civil servants have studied hard for ten years in order to be lucky enough to meet Tianyan. Even if they are selected from thousands of miles to pass the jinshi examination, they will have to work hard for another 20 to 30 years if they want to become familiar in front of the sage. This year, I was only 20 years old, and I was called by the sage, asked questions, and even took care of the title of the marquis mansion. This kind of grace, which is unique in the capital, can’t be compared with the empty air of the Marquis mansion of Yichun.”
Hearing Qin Xin talk about Huo Chang Yuan, Huo Xue's face was obviously much better. Huo Xue's only focus in life was Huo Changyuan. Others were happier praising her son than praising herself.
Huo Xue said: "Isn't that true? Last year, Chang Yuan suddenly said that he wanted to marry the eldest girl from the Houfu of Yichun. At that time, I felt that the Cheng family was not worthy of Chang Yuan, but seeing that their girls were famous for their reputation, I agreed. Who could have imagined that their family would be in a rut, and even the girl would not keep her duty. Even if Chang Yuan didn't say anything about such a person, I couldn't let her enter my Huo family's door. "
Qin Xin's natural response was that Qin Xin had served Huo Xue's side for many years. She was three years older than Huo Chang Yuan. In these years, she had almost watched Huo Chang Yuan grow from a boy to a stalwart man. When Huo Xue was chatting, she said to let Qin Xin go out of the house, but Qin Xin politely refused. Her heart was always on Huo Chang Yuan.
Qin Xin and Huo Xue's family made fun of Huo Chang Yuan while taunting the Marquis of Yichun. They were both very happy. Huo Xue changed his words and suddenly remembered another incident: "After Miss Cheng tore up the marriage certificate today, Zhang Yuan didn't know what was going on, but she chased him out. He really is, what's so good about such a scheming woman? , why is it worth his special pursuit?"
"Ah, Lord Hou is still chasing Miss Cheng outside?" Qin Xin felt a sense of crisis inexplicably. A woman's sixth sense is always very accurate. She faintly felt that Huo Chang Yuan might be different to Miss Cheng.
Huo Xue's clan was brooding about what Huo Chang Yuan had done to chase Cheng Yujin out, and Qin Xin was also extremely vigilant. Qin Xin casually said a few words, and Huo Xue's family obeyed her heart and asked Huo Chang Yuan to be called from the martial arts field.
Huo Chang Yuan came in from outside, sweating hot. He thought there was something urgent, but when he heard Huo Xue's words, Huo Chang Yuan frowned fiercely: "Mother, you called me back, just for such trivial matters?"
"How can this be called a trivial matter!" Huo Xue's dissatisfaction, held the handkerchief and said, "That Miss Cheng has a deep mind and is not a kind person. You can't get close to her in the future. Be careful if she is slapped on her body and can't get rid of it. ."
In Huo Xue's eyes, probably all the women in the world want to hook up with her son. A wry smile appeared on Huo Chang Yuan's mouth, Cheng Yujin fawned on him? He remembered Cheng Yujin's merciless slap and didn't answer.
Huo Xue asked: "Zhang Yuan, what did she say to you after she hooked you outside? You all told your mother."
A secret displeasure flashed through Huo Chang Yuan's heart. He was already twenty years old. What did his private conversation with his ex-fiancee look like when he told his mother? Moreover, Huo Chang Yuan somehow didn't want to talk to his mother about Cheng Yujin, as if it was a secret, and he didn't want to be spied on by others.
In the bottom of Huo Chang Yuan's heart, there was a vague feeling of unhappiness, but it quickly dissipated, as if the happiness didn't happen, and Huo Chang Yuan didn't feel that he had any grudge against his mother. He perfunctoryly said, "It's nothing, it's my business, mother, don't ask."
Huo Xue's fingers tightened while holding the handkerchief, and a sense of crisis that his son was going to be taken away came to his heart. She quickly covered it up, smiled, and said, "Okay, Zhang Yuan, if you don't ask, the mother won't ask. Alas, it's all your father's fault for leaving too early. I'm a widow who can't go out and marry you. It was delayed, and then you went to the battlefield again. It’s hard to say that you are married. By now, you are in your twenties, and the marriage has not yet been decided. If I started dating a few years ago, why would you have no family now? , and almost fell for the eldest miss of the Cheng family? Zhang Yuan, don't worry, my mother has asked someone to ask these days, and I can always find you a noble and virtuous wife who is neither arrogant nor jealous."
Hearing about the marriage, Huo Chang Yuan frowned and said, "Mother, why didn't you tell the Cheng family that I want to marry Mo'er?"
Huo Xue's and Qin Xin were both startled: "What?"
Huo Chang Yuan's brows furrowed even tighter: "I told you this morning, didn't you pay attention?"
Huo Xue really didn't pay attention. At that time, when she heard that Huo Changyuan was going to withdraw from her relatives, all her thoughts were drawn to it. How could she hear Huo Changyuan casually say that she wanted to marry Cheng Yumo. Huo Xue's heart was unhappy, all the women in the capital were dead, so why did Zhang Yuan stare at the Cheng family and choose his sister and sister.
Before we met, Huo Xue's impression of Cheng Yumo was already bad. Her son can't be wrong, it must be that fox spirit who poured Zhang Yuan's ecstasy soup and coaxed Zhang Yuan to quit his marriage and marry her.
Huo Xue was unhappy, but facing Huo Changyuan, she still looked like a mother, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Zhang Yuan, the Cheng family's affairs are for your mother, and you can just watch the affairs of the court with peace of mind."
Huo Chang Yuan was filial and trusting of his mother, and Huo Xue's words made him feel relieved. He was clearly talking about Cheng Yumo, but Cheng Yujin's face unexpectedly flashed in front of Huo Changyuan's eyes.
That look in the snow mountain cave is thrilling, like a god. Even today, when she slapped him, her painted eyes were blackened by anger, and they were unbelievably beautiful.
Huo Chang Yuan suddenly realized that he was in a trance, and he was surprised and surprised when he realized that he was thinking about that snake and scorpion woman. However, reason said to stop, but his mind was out of control. Huo Chang Yuan couldn't help thinking of another man standing beside Cheng Yujin who he saw today.
She called him Ninth Uncle.
Huo Chang Yuan asked, "Mother, do you know the origin of the man who is ranked ninth in the Cheng family?"
"Nine?" Huo Xue was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to say that the Cheng family's family could not do nine, he suddenly remembered a past incident.
Huo Xue's face changed, and he said, "Ninth Master Cheng family, I really know more. He is the son of the outsider, and the biological mother and I are still somewhat related."
Huo Chang Yuan was really surprised: "What?"
"His biological mother's surname is also Xue. Before the Xue family's accident, I met her once or twice, but it's just that we have already gone out of five clothes, and we are not kissing. Later, the Xue family was exiled. I followed my father and brother to the frontier. I was afraid of being implicated by their family. I didn't find her whereabouts for so many years. I didn't expect to see her again in the capital twenty years later." Huo Xue looked at Huo Changyuan's expression and nodded, "No. Wrong, at that time, she had become the outer chamber of Yichun Hou, and gave birth to a six-year-old son, Cheng Yuanjing. It is really unpredictable, such a outer chamber can even be admitted to the jinshi and change his face. It's disgraceful, but one more person in the court is one more help, you might as well get in touch with him."
Huo Chang Yuan was very surprised, Cheng Yuanjing's aura was natural, he believed it was a certain prince, but he didn't expect it to be an outsider who was not on the stage.
Huo Chang Yuan felt a little uneasy, and the inexplicable anger in his heart also dissipated. He nodded and said, "Mother, don't worry, for your own sake, I'll help him when I get a chance."
