Chapter 3 The road is narrow
The first rays of sunlight penetrated into the windowsill that day, and Cheng Jinzhi, who had always liked to lie in bed, was already sitting in front of the dressing mirror and getting ready to go, she was so attentive today, naturally in order to dress up carefully, and appear in front of Gu Hanqing, who she had been thinking about for a long time.

Compared with her two pampered sisters, everything about Cheng Jinzhi can only be described by the word "shabby". As a girl in the prime of her life and the third lady of the Cheng family, she has neither exquisite jewelry, rouge gouache, nor a few decent clothes, and she can't look forward to a new dress for a few years.
I finally saw that it was quite eye-catching, but it was still an autumn coat woven with thin velvet. Now it is the turn of spring and summer, the weather is gradually getting hot, even if the wind is slightly cool at night, but autumn clothes can not be worn out at such a season.
"Alas, if my mother knew my current situation, she would definitely want to take me away back then. ”
Cheng Jinzhi sighed heavily, looked at the face in the mirror, stared at it for a long time, and finally had to pretend to flick his hair confidently: "Ahem, forget it, let them wear gold and silver with heavy makeup, I will rely on my face to kill them without leaving a piece of armor." ”
Although Cheng Jinzhi is ridiculing, she is actually very delicate and chic. Dignified but smart, bright but not charming, just because she has lived a hard life of "dusty face" all year round, so even she doesn't realize that she is actually a beauty.
"Bang
Just as she wanted to add fuel to her "self-deception", a sharp knock on the door slammed mercilessly.
"Cheng Jinzhi, have you embroidered the second lady's fan?"
"Fan!"
As if waking up from a dream, Cheng Jinzhi looked at the fan lying at the head of the bed without changing a line, and his whole face was wrinkled: "It's over, I slept last day and completely forgot that there is such a thing!"
"Cheng Jinzhi, did you hear it, open the door quickly!"
The knock on the door was even worse, Cheng Jinzhi flashed all kinds of countermeasures in her heart, but she denied them one by one, seeing that the people outside were about to break into the door, in a hurry, she gritted her teeth and could only open the door hard.
"Forget it, let's die. ”
As soon as the door opened, Cheng Xiuning's personal maid Lan Xin pushed the door in a menacing manner, while Cheng Xiuning behind her walked in unhurriedly.
"Second sister, what's so urgent, I have to let you come here in person early in the morning?"
"Cheng Jinzhi, you really know how to pretend to be stupid. ”
Cheng Xiuning glanced at Cheng Jinzhi's boudoir with disgust on her face, and suddenly her eyes flashed, and she just wanted to rush to the head of the bed, but Cheng Jinzhi secretly said something bad in her heart when she saw this, and hurriedly flew in front of her.
"Second sister, this bed hasn't been made yet, it's very messy, don't look at it. ”
"Oh, yes?" Cheng Xiuning smiled fakely, giving Lan Xin a look beside her, and before Cheng Jinzhi could react, Lan Xin had already held the fan in her hand.
"Cheng Jinzhi, your guts are really getting fatter and fatter, this fan hasn't even touched a stitch or thread, you just deliberately take my words as a deaf ear, right?"
"Second sister, where are you talking about this," Cheng Jinzhi had already stabbed the villain countless times in his heart, but on the surface, he still said with a smile, "I... I think I don't embroider well, I can only embroider pheasants and sparrows, if you embroider the phoenix ugly, then the second sister holding this fan, wouldn't it damage your noble and elegant image?"
In fact, Cheng Jinzhi knows that any embroidery girl in this house is a hundred times better than her, and Cheng Xiuning has repeatedly made things difficult for her, which is obviously an ulterior motive.
"Ouch, I really can't see it, you Cheng Jinzhi will also say these polite words. Cheng Xiuning squinted her eyes and looked her up and down, "It seems that you have dressed up on purpose today?"
Cheng Xiuning's words made Cheng Jinzhi suddenly a little speechless, and hurriedly defended: "How... How so? Aren't I usually like that?"
"Hmph, Cheng Jinzhi, I can't see that little bit of your careful thinking?" Cheng Xiuning reached out and pinched the corner of Cheng Jinzhi's cuffs, looking very contemptuous, "Don't think that if you talked a few more words to Brother Hanqing when you were a child, you will be childhood sweethearts." Now that he is the young master of the Gu family who is rich and rivals the country, how can he remember you, a stinky girl with a gray face and a humble identity. I advise you, don't daydream. ”
Cheng Xiuning's words were sarcastic, and Cheng Jinzhi heard that her ears hurt, but fortunately, she has long been accustomed to the evil words of these people in the house, and adheres to the principle of "right to fart", she has always been in her left ear and out of her right ear, if she was careful about everything, she would probably have been angry to see her mother.
"Come on, please go to the firewood room to sit down, I will save three meals a day, so as not to have the strength to come out and seduce men when you are full. ”
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw that four family members had already rushed into the room to frame Cheng Jinzhi.
"Let go of me!What are you going to do?!"
Looking at Cheng Xiu's arrogant face, Cheng Jinzhi struggled a few times, and suddenly felt that his qi and blood were surging, and the breath he had swallowed just now came up together: "It's you who want to seduce a man, the thief shouts to catch the thief, what kind of fan and what phoenix are all pretenses, it's such a big circle, don't you just don't want me to see Gu Hanqing?"
Seeing that the purpose was obvious, Cheng Xiuning's face showed a trace of unnaturalness: "You can say whatever you like, anyway, you can only be an ant forever, trampled under my feet." ”
"Cut. Cheng Jinzhi forcibly suppressed his anger, rolled his eyes greatly, and his tone suddenly softened, "Second sister, do you know why I can't embroider that phoenix?"
"What?"
"Because I think you are a better match for the pheasant and the second sister!"
"You... You dead girl..."Cheng Xiu's face turned green with anger, "Pull me down, pull down! Don't give her food for three days and three nights!"
On the way to the firewood house, Cheng Jinzhi seemed unusually calm, neither making a big noise nor struggling desperately, but it made the four family members who dragged her strange.
"You should cooperate and shout a few times, otherwise the momentum of our brothers will be gone. ”
This is the heartfelt inner monologue of four domestic servants.
"It's useless to shout at the king of heaven now, I haven't eaten or drunk for a while, it's better to save some physical strength for myself, I don't want to starve to death like this. ”
This is Cheng Jinzhi's rational inner consideration.
So, the four of them seemed to be dragging a cold corpse, and the more they walked, the more imposing they became, so that in the end, Cheng Jinzhi yawned lazily.
"Little master, don't run so fast, beware of falling, little master. ”
Just as Cheng Jinzhi and his group were walking drowsy, two maids chased a little boy and ran into view.
The boy was about five or six years old, and he looked mischievous and lovely, with a pair of big clear and smart eyes looking left and right, only to be squeezed out of the fat on his face.
This boy is Cheng Yan's youngest son and Cheng Xiuning's younger brother Cheng Yu.
"Cheng Jinzhi, I know, you made a mistake again!"
He proudly stopped in front of Cheng Jinzhi, his hands on his hips, like a little adult.
"This little fat man is even more difficult to deal with than Cheng Xiuning, he is really a narrow road, and he is a pit wherever he goes. Cheng Jinzhi sighed in his heart and said indifferently, "Yes, yes, little master, I made a mistake, can you please get out of the way?"
"Cheng Jinzhi, play with me with a kite!" It's a pity that Cheng Yu didn't pay attention to her words at all, but took the kite in the maid's hand and slapped it directly on Cheng Jinzhi's face.
"This stinky little ghost. Cheng Jinzhi held back his anger and poked a hole out from behind the kite, "I also want to play with you, but your sister wants to lock me up, but you can make an appointment." ”
Compared with Guan Chai Fang, Cheng Jinzhi obviously hates dealing with this notoriously naughty bag more.
"I don't care about me, I don't care, I want you to play with me! If you don't play with me, I'll tell my father that you bully me! Play with me!" Cheng Yu stomped his feet and shouted unrelentingly, which shows that this skill of liking to make trouble unreasonably is very profound.
"It's okay if you want me to play with you, but ......" Cheng Jinzhi rolled his eyes, and he already had a countermeasure in his heart.
"But what?"
Hearing that Cheng Jinzhi's attitude had changed, Cheng Yu really stopped crying and came over with a serious face.
"You have to let them let me go, or I'll play with you like this." ”
"You let him go, hurry up, hurry up. ”
The four servants all looked embarrassed when they heard this: "Little young master, we are on the orders of the second young lady, if we release them now, then the second young lady, we really can't explain it." ”
"I don't care if you explain it or not! I say release people, release people, if you don't release people, I will tell my father that you are bullying me!"
As we all know, Cheng Yan has always been obedient and fond of Cheng Yu, a young son, and when he opposes him in Cheng Mansion, he is basically unable to get along with himself. The four of them looked at each other, and after weighing the pros and cons, they really let go of Cheng Jinzhi.
"You know each other. ”
Cheng Jinzhi stretched proudly, his mind moved, and he suddenly took the kite and turned the spool and rushed forward.
"Fly, fly, fly, fly high......"
"Cheng Jinzhi, slow down!"
Seeing this, Cheng Yu hurriedly chased after him, but after all, he was a little fat man, and he stopped and gasped for breath without running a few steps, and when he chased into an aisle-
I saw a painted kite left on the empty ground, and where was the shadow of Cheng Jinzhi.
