**********************************
Jiangzhou.
The autumn rain has not stopped, Cheng Shilang hesitated at the mouth of the alley, and every time he wanted to go out for a walk, he would come to his sister's side.
Although my sister is not here anymore.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded behind them, and they beat on the bluestone pavement in the rain, and they knew who was coming just by listening to the sound.
It is said that this is the most fashionable horseshoe in the capital today, nailed or branded on the horse's hooves, you can protect the horse's hooves, I don't know who came up with it, after Cao Sancai Cao Daste was the first to use it in Jiangzhou, now many people are thinking about giving their horseshoe this, but for a while the blacksmith shop is not accurate, unlike Cao Sancai, who is so rich that he bought two horseshoe masters directly from the capital.
"Shiro-kun!" Cao Da Steward shouted.
With this shout, Cheng Shilang hurriedly turned around.
"Steward Cao, don't be polite." He said.
But it was still late, and Steward Cao, who was wearing a good oilcloth poncho and a hat, respectfully gave a salute without the slightest slackness.
"Shiro-kun came just in time, I got a new good tea, and I just had a good taste on a rainy day." He said with a smile after the salute.
Cheng Shilang hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Is my sister okay in the capital?"
"Don't worry, where is the bad time for my lady."
"Did she bring a letter?"
"Shiro-kun, my lady doesn't like to talk or write letters."
"That's..."
The two talked as they walked. When I arrived at the door, I saw two women holding umbrellas and taking them with Xiaoxiao.
"I didn't say that. You can't ask for money. It can only be done with the permission of our lady. Steward Cao said.
The two women didn't dare to say more, got up and left.
"Yes," Cheng Shiro asked.
"It was the second lady who asked for money, saying that it was for the second master." Steward Cao said nonchalantly.
It's time for the second master to be transferred at the end of his three-year term, so he has to move around.
"Shiro-kun, please."
Steward Cao's words interrupted Cheng Shilang's thoughts, and he smiled and nodded and walked through the door.
"Don't give? Do you want his wife to allow it? ”
Second Lady Cheng asked, looking at the servants.
The servant nodded.
"Phew." Second Mrs. Cheng chirped, "At this time, you need your mother's permission?" In the past, when you were happy to watch a play, why didn't you need your lady's permission to throw money on stage? Also, what your lady. It's my wife! ”
She exhaled indignantly, picked up the tea bowls on several cases and took a bite, and spit it out again.
"What tea! Is it eaten by humans? She shouted.
The servants bowed their heads and didn't dare to speak, and now their homes are not as good as before...
"I can't divide my family, and I can't be dragged down by them..."
Mrs. Cheng was pacing back and forth in the room, indignant.
"Go, tell the eldest lady to send the money to the second master quickly, delay the future, can they afford it?"
The servants got up and went out. While walking, I could hear the voice of the second lady.
“… Now that the family has been ruined by them, it depends on our second master. If you don't see it quickly, they will be happy if the future of my second master is gone..."
The servant woman hastened and walked away.
"I see."
Mrs. Cheng said.
But the servant woman in front of him did not get up and retreated.
"Madame, but faster." They said with their heads bowed.
Looking at the attitude of the servant woman, Mrs. Cheng would be in a trance some time ago, but now she is used to it.
"Go ahead." Mrs. Cheng took the key to the treasury and handed it to the housekeeper on the side, "Send the money to the second master." ”
The lady in charge looked a little hesitant.
"But—" What was she about to say, Mrs. Cheng interrupted her by shaking her head.
"She's right, the future matters, if you don't even have a future, then it's really gone." She said.
The housekeeper's lady went out in response.
Now that the servants and girls in the family have sold a lot, they are very quiet inside and outside when they quit at this time.
Mrs. Cheng looked at the cases a little blankly, and she was looking through the account books to see if there was anything else at home that could be sold.
Her gaze fell on the account book, which had been recorded a long time ago, and a strange and familiar name came to mind.
Zhou Geniang.
Mrs. Cheng stretched out her hand and stroked it slowly.
"I listen to my sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you say, I'll do it."
A loud female voice said in her ear.
Although it is also taught by the women of the boudoir, it is always a little rough when it comes to the background of a military general's family.
At that time, she always had some ridicule and despise in her heart, and she wouldn't say that she would only do it.
Later, I married this continuation, a scholarly family, elegant and elegant, able to speak, and comfortable no matter how you look at it.
Now it seems that what can be said! will only play tricks on her own people, and Ge Niang will only defend herself against outsiders.
Mrs. Cheng stretched out her hand to caress the name, and tears couldn't help but roll down.
"Sister-in-law, I don't want to die, I can't die, I'm dead, what can Jiaojiao'er do..."
"Sister-in-law, I don't think I'm getting better..."
Mrs. Cheng leaned over several cases and cried.
If Ge Niang is still there, it would be nice if Ge Niang was still there.
There was a coughing sound in the hall, and Mrs. Cheng hurriedly stopped crying, wiped her tears and got up inward.
"Master, are you awake?" She asked.
saw that Master Cheng on the couch had already woken up, still holding a scroll in his hand.
"Didn't sleep." He said.
He didn't sleep, that's what he had just heard.
Mrs. Cheng sat down and raised her hand to wipe her tears, Master Cheng didn't speak, just looked at the scroll in her hand, Mrs. Cheng cried for a while and didn't cry anymore, and asked him what he was reading.
"Genealogy." Master Cheng said.
"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Cheng said.
Master Cheng smiled and stretched out his hand to point at it.
"Do you remember how her father gave her that name?" He said.
Mrs. Cheng was stunned. Who? She looked sideways.
Cheng Fang.
Who is Cheng Fang?
Her gaze went up again. saw the name of Cheng Er's master. I suddenly felt a dull heart.
"Master, don't look at it, don't think about it." She said with tears in her eyes.
Master Cheng smiled.
"Why don't you look at it, why don't you want to, the things and people that really exist, if you don't feel comfortable and sad, if you don't look at it, you don't want to see it, and you can pass without it? The more I encounter this difficulty. The more we must take it seriously, and do not run away from it. He said.
Mrs. Cheng wiped away her tears and was a little helpless.
"But the doctor said that you can't be angry with this disease." She reminded tactfully.
If you are angry with that woman once, do you have to be angry to death?
Master Cheng ignored her, still looking at the name on the scroll.
"Cheng Fang, it was originally a boy's name at that time, bright, bright, my father knew that I was mediocre, and my second brother was just that. So the future of our Cheng family depends on this junior...."He continued.
Mrs. Cheng's tears were even more fierce when she heard this.
"But the future of our family was ruined by her." She cried.
"It's not." Master Cheng said.
No? Mrs. Cheng looked at him with tears. After losing weight, Master Cheng, who was originally sickly, was silent for many days, looking thoughtful, and she also said that she would invite a doctor to take a look.
This is... Crazy?
"You think, if she can ruin the future of our family, then she can naturally support the future of our family, this is actually the same reason." Master Cheng said, laughing out loud when he said this.
This is the same truth, and it is really crazy.
Mrs. Cheng was dumbfounded.
At the same time, the Luozhou Mansion.
Second Master Cheng was bidding farewell to a middle-aged man, with a little respect.
"Don't worry, my family knows this matter." The man said.
"It's some hard-earned money, you take it for tea." Master Cheng Er handed over an envelope.
The man didn't have the slightest politeness to catch it.
Second Master Cheng looked even happier.
"Then I won't deliver it myself." He said.
The man nodded and turned around with some understanding.
"Oh yes, don't forget to walk around up there, too." He thought of something and pointed as he stretched out his finger.
Second Master Cheng nodded hurriedly.
"Thank you for the reminder, it's been sent." He said.
The man nodded and left.
Seeing the man disappear at the door of the house, Second Master Cheng turned around with a relaxed expression.
"Congratulations, sir." The two doormen came out with a smile and saluted, "This time, the position of Laiyang Thorn Shi is accurate." ”
Second Master Cheng shook his head with a bit of reserve.
"Not yet decided, yet undecided." He said, but his expression was not uncertain.
"It's decided, Liu Yukun didn't reply, his uncle has already said it, and it's been said up and down." The doorman laughed.
Second Master Cheng smiled silently.
Although he didn't get Zhang Chun's help at the beginning, Liu Yukun, who met in front of Zhang's house, was good, and he had not broken the relationship in the past three years, and his official career was smooth, and the most important thing was that his uncle Liu Ping's official career was also very good.
This time, the relationship between his family should be fine.
"I finally got the position of Laiyang." The doormen also sighed, "Although it is three years late." ”
At the mention of this incident, Second Master Cheng's face suddenly sank.
Three years!
He couldn't help gritting his teeth, he should have gotten this position three years ago, but he didn't know who ruined his future, and he was ruined for three years.
Three years! There can be several three years in life!
"Okay, my lord, no matter what, everything you want will come true." The doormen hurriedly comforted.
Second Master Cheng sighed and nodded, yes, his wishes are good, he happily hummed a little song and went in.
In the capital, it was a little deserted in the palace city, and the officials gathered on the path leading to the government hall and whispered, until a heavy cough came from behind them, and everyone looked back and saw an official with a solemn face.
"Liu Zhengyan." Everyone hurriedly said.
The person who came was Liu Ping, a bachelor of Hanlin, a scholar of the Zhizhi system, and a judge of the national eunuch.
"What kind of system." Liu Zhengyan frowned and said.
Everyone shrank their heads and dispersed.
An official invited Liu Ping into the official hall and held a booklet at the same time.
"My lord, this official transfer will be arranged for you to see." He said.
Liu Ping also flipped it up casually, flipped through a few sheets and stopped, stretched out his hand and clicked on it.
"This, don't move." He said.
The officer looked down in some surprise, and was even more surprised to see the handwriting mark on it.
"This, this isn't you, adult...."He couldn't help but say.
"What am I?" Liu Ping interrupted him with a frown.
The officials were stunned, which of the officials in the palace was not alert and smart.
"My lord, you are right, this three-year campaign cannot be unscrupulous, and it must be strictly checked." He said with plastic surgery.
Liu Ping nodded and turned to leave.
The officer stood in the room with a puzzled expression and opened the book again.
"Could it be a breakdown?" He muttered to himself.
Someone next to him stood up, looked sideways and laughed.
"You're stupid, you don't even look at who this person is." He said.
Who is it? The official looked at the name seriously.
Cheng Dong.
There are many state and county officials, how can he remember.
"Cheng!" The official next to him reminded, while stretching out his hand and pointing at the palace, "You just said about the northwest thing, and you forgot?" ”
The official suddenly changed his complexion, picked up the pen and simply ticked the name Cheng Dong three times and twice, and added two more strokes to simply scribble the name, and then he was relieved.
"I still expect to be promoted, with such a daughter, it is not far from breaking the family." He muttered.
"Not necessarily." The official next to him said, "The matter in the northwest has not yet been decided." ”
The official pouted.
"The Northwest is not her world." He said, "Aren't the people in the army dizzy when they eat some wine?" ”
That's just as well.
"But I'd really like to see how it can lead to thunder..."
"I really haven't seen the thunder smash with my own eyes."
Laughter rang out in the official hall, and the two turned their heads to look northwest.
What will happen in the Northwest? (To be continued......)
