Chapter 34: The Return to the Homeland
According to custom and practice, a woman should return to her mother's home to visit her relatives three days after her wedding to show that her marriage is happy. Although Cheng Jinzhi was reluctant to do so www.biquge.info in her heart, in order not to be honest and to be proud in front of the Cheng family, she got up early to dress up.
"Are all the gifts I have ready?"
Cheng Jinzhi asked while gesturing with a hairpin on his head.
"It's all done according to your wishes, but it's just .....," Ta Xue Qiang smiled, "Your gift is really special, Princess." ”
"If it's not special, how can I show my sincerity?"
Cheng Jinzhi said with a smile, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.
After trying on several clothes, changing no less than ten steps to shake the hairpin, and shining back and forth in front of the mirror several times, she was willing to step out of the room with the mood of going to the meeting with a single knife accompanied by stepping on the snow and looking for plums.
In fact, Cheng Jinzhi was not afraid of being told by outsiders that Princess Yan had a cold relationship with her mother's family, she was just worried that these rumors would affect King Yan's reputation, so she got into the carriage back to Cheng's family in an orderly manner.
Since ancient times, there are different monarchs and ministers, and King Yan, as a prince, will inevitably exceed the rules if he condescends to meet his courtiers, which is not in general, so only Cheng Jinzhi will go this time.
It stands to reason that he is now returning to the door as Princess Yan, his head is also raised, his back is straight, and he has some confidence in speaking, which should be a good opportunity for Cheng Jinzhi to raise his eyebrows.
But as a newlywed, they should always go in and out of pairs to show their marital happiness, especially in front of the Cheng family, and they should show their affection. Even though she and Gao Heng are only husband and wife in name, this trip back to the province without the company of her husband, Cheng Jinzhi always feels empty in her heart.
Of course, in front of Gao Heng, she was still ashamed to show that she didn't care, and before Gao Heng asked "Do you want me to go back with you", she was stunned and blew it back with a mouthful of "no need".
She has grown so big and has not learned other skills, but this ability is indeed first-class.
was worried, the curtain was suddenly lifted, Cheng Jinzhi looked up, and saw Gao Heng casually getting into the car and sitting down beside her.
"You... Why are you here?" Cheng Jinzhi looked at Gao Heng in surprise, "I said you don't need it." Besides, you are the prince, and this accompanied me back to the door, and it is always unruly. ”
Although Cheng Jinzhi was still reckless, the tone of the second half of the sentence was obviously much weaker.
"Acting to the end, it's not bad for this one. ”
Although Gao Heng's words were tepid, they made Cheng Jinzhi's heart feel a lot more steady.
From the first time he fished himself out of death row until now, as long as this man is there, everything seems to be safe and sound, which makes people feel more at ease.
Since the Yanwang Mansion is only two streets away from Cheng's house, it is only half a pillar of incense to arrive.
originally thought that he was about to see the snarky faces of the Cheng family, but the clinker carriage had just arrived at the door of Cheng's mansion, and the first person to see it was not Cheng Yan and Zhang's party, but Cheng Jinzhi's eldest brother, Cheng Xuan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
I saw Cheng Xuanzheng standing outside the gate of Cheng Mansion with a stern expression, far from his plain and uninhibited appearance, and hesitated for a long time, but he still didn't enter the door.
"What is he doing here?"
Although Cheng Jinzhi has been bullied in the Cheng family since she was a child, in her impression, Cheng Xuan rarely feels sorry for her. In addition, Cheng Xuan is unruly, regardless of his disciplined personality, and when he becomes an adult, he travels outside the mountains and rivers all the year round, ignoring family affairs, and the intersection between the two brothers and sisters is really minimal.
It stands to reason that Cheng Jinzhi shouldn't hold a grudge against him, but Cheng Jinzhi hates his biological mother Zhang to the core, so by the way, he was also written into the blacklist.
Just thinking about it, the carriage had stopped, and the guards guarding the gate of the mansion saw the formation of the BMW incense car in front of the door, and then saw Gao Heng and the trip, Jin Zhi got out of the car together, and hurriedly flew into the courtyard in a panic.
"What's the matter? No one came out to greet me, thinking that I was the only one who came alone, so I didn't need to prepare anything?"
Cheng Jinzhi complained resentfully, flicking his sleeves and trying to get back into the carriage.
Her biological mother has been dead for many years, and she has no relatives to explore, and now she has even saved the battle on the surface, and she is clearly not welcome, so why should she come back to this sad place to find anger?
"You are like this, others advance a foot, but you retreat, after a long time, naturally everyone dares to bully you. ”
Although Gao Heng's tone was flat, it stumbled Cheng Jinzhi's pace at the right time.
Indeed, it was precisely because she was obedient and willing to fight and suffer in the past that the Cheng family gained an inch. In this world, there are people who deceive the good and fear the evil, and there are many people who bully the soft and fear the hard.
"Eh, isn't this His Royal Highness King Yan?" At this moment, Cheng Xuan came over and saluted Gao Heng, "On the day of His Royal Highness's wedding, I was haunted by important matters in Qingzhou and couldn't come to watch the ceremony, and I ask Your Highness not to blame." ”
Gao Heng bowed his head slightly and said: "The coming day is long, Cheng Gongzi doesn't have to mind." ”
"Big brother, you are very busy. Cheng Jinzhi said angrily, "Not only do the people of Qingzhou need you, but the people of Dazhou also need you." ”
Cheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, looked at Cheng Jinzhi carefully, recognized it for a moment, and then opened his eyes and said in surprise: "Oh, it turned out to be Jinzhi! I said why is it so familiar, I haven't seen it for a long time and become so beautiful, I saw you at the birthday banquet last time, I was still a grizzled little girl, but I didn't expect to become a princess now." ”
"It's superfluous, and there are so many things in this world that you can't think of. Cheng Jinzhi turned his head and muttered, turned around and smiled, "Big brother, it's rare for you to go home, why don't you go in at the door?"
"I... Alas, that's a long story. Cheng Xuan turned his expression, looking unspeakable, "You also know that old stubborn eater, and he has always hoped that I can go home and inherit my father's business......"
"But you don't want to participate in politics, and you don't want to be an official in the court, you just want to live freely, right?"
"That's it!" Cheng Xuan clapped his hands excitedly, "Oh, although we are brothers and sisters, we haven't said a few words since we were young, but I never thought that it would be your sister who understands me." ”
"Who wouldn't see the wind and rudder? Now that I know I'm your sister, why did you go earlier?"
Cheng Jinzhi rolled his eyes disdainfully, and as he was talking, he saw that Cheng Yan had hurriedly led the Cheng family out of the gate.
"His Royal Highness King Yan and the princess arrived, and they missed the welcome, and asked His Royal Highness and Princess to forgive their sins. ”
Cheng Yan bowed down to make amends, his face full of guilt.
But Cheng Jinzhi knows that Cheng Yan has been in officialdom for decades, and what he is best at is pretending to be a sword with a sweet mouth. If Gao Heng hadn't come with him this time, how would this family of snakes and rats come out to greet each other?
