Chapter 11 What to do

Knowing this, Mrs. Chen put down the tea bowl.

"There's no way around it, you can't get around, sooner or later." He said.

The Son is in the shadow of the Father, and the Father can also be proud of the Son, and the Father and the Son are bonds that cannot be let go.

In the past, Cheng Niangzi was famous and hopeless, but now that she is famous, the world will not only see her Cheng Jianniang alone, but will see the surname Cheng, this family, and even if a little thing happens in her family, it will be magnified and passed on.

This is probably one of the prices to be paid for fame.

If a child has merit, it is naturally a great merit of parenting, and it is also reasonable to reward parents.

But this matter is a little difficult for Cheng Niangzi.

The relationship between Cheng Niangzi and her father's patriarch, others don't know, their Chen family is very clear, when she sought medical treatment, Cheng Niangzi avoided her relatives through them, came to the capital, and had trouble with the Zhou family, not to mention later, directly sued the Cheng family in court, and almost tore the entire Cheng family apart with one hand.

Today's Cheng family is almost surviving, but it is all thanks to her.

How could such a person want his father to be gifted? Not to mention getting it to the capital.

It's unknown what will happen in this case.

"This Gao Lingbo is really..."Old Lady Chen also shook her head helplessly and sighed, and looked at Chen Shao again, "However, what he Gao Lingbo knows, what we know, that Cheng Niangzi must also know in her heart." ”

"The key is that Cheng Niangzi is very stubborn, I'm afraid she doesn't know the etiquette." Chen Shao frowned and said, "This is not Jiangzhou. If there is a fuss about suing the relatives to the yamen. Even if the emperor is merciful, he will not kill. The spit of the people can drown her. ”

Immortal disciples can't behave like this.

"Does she ever know how to be polite?" Old Lady Chen smiled, "She is measured. ”

Chen Shao shook his head.

"I don't think she has any sense of proportion, she acts recklessly, and if she wants to say that she has it, it is a measure." He said, reaching out to touch a few cases, and then flicked it lightly, and the tea bowl in front of him turned over.

"Death to those who stand in the way."

Old Lady Chen was silent, looking at the screen on the side.

"This world. How can everything be as it should be? Chen Shao said, "I'm afraid that her appetite will grow bigger and bigger, and sooner or later her teeth will break." ”

As expected, Gao Lingbo's invitation to reward Cheng Jianniang's father Cheng Dong's recital was approved by the emperor.

Ten days later, a letter of proclamation was transmitted to Jiangzhou through the Yamen, and a letter of imperial grace was also sent to Yudaiqiao.

"The people's daughter bows to the emperor."

Cheng Jianniang leaned over and saluted, and stretched out her hand to take the holy decree.

The maidservant over there got up and gave a big red envelope to the attendant who announced the decree.

The attendants all smiled, of course, it was not that they were poor and had never seen money, but that this money was different from other money, it was money given by Li Zhenren's disciples, and it might be able to drive away evil and avoid evil when put on their bodies.

Sent away the chamberlain. The incense case was removed, and there was no joy in the courtyard. Everyone looked at Cheng Jianniang with a little anxiety.

Cheng Jianniang glanced at the holy decree a few times and handed it to Banqin.

"Lady, what should I do?" Banqin asked tremblingly.

"What to do?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

The maidservant put aside Banqin and stepped forward herself.

"Lady, if Second Master Cheng and Mrs. Cheng come to the capital, we will be troubled by them." She said bluntly, "What do you say?" ”

The Huang family didn't know Cheng Jianniang's family affairs, Fan Jianglin wouldn't tell her, and Fan Jianglin didn't know very well, but seeing that the two girls were not happy at all, they couldn't help but look uneasy.

"How so?" Cheng Jianniang said with a smile.

Does it mean that she can't live in peace if they don't make trouble, or does she mean that she won't be disturbed by them? Or both.

"Then let them come?" Banqin couldn't help but ask.

"Or else? That's the Emperor's order. The maidservant said, "What should I do if I repeat it again?"

"Do what you have to do." Cheng Jianniang said, looking around.

"It's good that we move out, the house is easy to find, and it's convenient to be close to the bow and crossbow courtyard." Fan Jianglin said busily.

Cheng Jianniang shook her head.

"Half celery." She shouted.

Both half-celery responded yes.

"You go and choose a house and buy it, and give it to them to live in after they come." Cheng Jianniang said.

This time, Banqin stopped talking, and the maidservant bent down to answer.

Not long after the maidservant girl went out, there was a sharp knock on the street door, and Master Zhou walked in with his face.

"Jiaojiao, you say, what should I do." He got straight to the point.

"What to do?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

Master Zhou sat down and waved his hand at Banqin, who was holding the tea.

"When is it, I don't care about drinking tea." He said in a flaming voice, "That black-hearted thief couple is actually coming to Beijing." ”

The news of the capital is spreading fast, Cheng Jianniang nodded.

"Let's go to Dali Temple." She said.

"Jiaojiao, this matter is said to have been raised by the high palace attendant." Master Zhou said in a low voice.

Cheng Jianniang looked at him and seemed puzzled.

"It's not a good thing, they must have inquired about you last time." Master Zhou said, "I know how the black-hearted couple treats you, but this is deliberately disgusting you." ”

Cheng Jianniang smiled and shook her head.

"No, it won't." "I'm not disgusting," she said. ”

Master Zhou's mind turned.

"Disgusting is only one aspect." Master Zhou sighed and frowned again, "I still know the second master." ”

The black-hearted couple no longer call them names, and directly call them the second master.

For his careful thoughts, Cheng Jianniang didn't pay attention to it at all.

“… Although he boasts of being a powerful person, he is actually reluctant to learn, and he is even more average as an official, otherwise he would have been promoted four years ago, where would he have waited until now. Master Zhou said.

As he spoke, he saw a smile on the lips of the woman in front of him, but he immediately disappeared.

What to laugh at?

Could it be that they are father and daughter, and now that their anger has dissipated, they also want to renew their family?

“… It's not easy to be an official in this capital, especially in a place like Dali Temple. I'm afraid that he won't do it well and make jokes that will hurt you. Master Zhou continued.

"But this is an appointment from the imperial court. How could he not come? Cheng Jianniang said.

Master Zhou's eyes lit up.

It seems that they still don't want to come.

"Appointment of the imperial court. He can also excuse himself. He said.

As soon as the words came out, he shook his head.

"It's no wonder he's willing to refuse."

Speaking of this, his face is full of gloom.

"Thank you uncle for your trouble." Cheng Jianniang said, "If you come, you will be safe." ”

"Then it might as well be like this." Master Zhou said, "You move to live, so if he dares to bother you, I will deal with him, I am not afraid of others poking my backbone, my uncle is the greatest, and no one dares to say that I am not." ”

Cheng Jianniang smiled and saluted.

"Thank you, uncle." She said. Sitting upright, "There won't be such a thing." ”

What else was Master Zhou going to say, there was another knock on the door.

The one who entered the door turned out to be Cheng Shilang, who was dusty, and Banqin was startled.

"What's wrong? Shiro-kun, why are you here? Banqin asked.

Cheng Jianniang also walked out of the house.

“…… Second uncle....may be going to Beijing. Cheng Shilang said with a slight gasp, his voice a little hoarse.

"It's not possible, it's already enacted." Banqin hurriedly said, looking at Cheng Shilang with a surprised face, "Shilang-kun, you came to tell us this?" ”

Ran from Jiangzhou to the capital to tell them?

It's ridiculous too...

Cheng Shilang waved his hand.

"No, no." He said. "My father asked me to ask what's going on, and besides. Write a message to my sister on behalf of my father. ”

Father?

Master Zhou in the house immediately pricked up his ears.

“… My father asked the lady what he needed to do. Cheng Shilang's voice came immediately.

Good for you, Boss Cheng! Grab it from me again!

In order to rob my Jiaojiao, even my brother's siblings can be stepped on!

Don't be stupid, I finally know that my Jiaojiao is worth more than his brother's siblings.

Just when Cheng Shilang arrived at Cheng Jianniang's house in the capital, and the court's notice was still on the way, the news of Cheng Er's promotion to Dali Temple was already well known.

The sound of footsteps came, and before Cheng Liuniang could raise her head, a big box was placed in front of her.

"What?" She asked, looking up at Cheng Qiniang with a smug face in front of her.

Cheng Qiniang, who was about to turn ten years old, was very tall, and Cheng Liuniang, who was sitting, had to look up at her.

From this angle, the face seems familiar and strange, mixed with the appearance of the person.

The faces of the half-sisters have similar traces in the end....

"Here are some of my books and embroidery." Cheng Qiniang said, "I'm going to go to Beijing with my father and mother, and I can't bring too many things, so I'll give them to you." ”

After saying that, I hurriedly added.

"But it's all good things, it's not that you don't like to throw them away."

"I don't want it." Cheng Liuniang snorted and said, "Keep it for yourself." ”

"It's useless to stay." Cheng Qiniang's eyebrows fluttered and she waved her hand, "My mother said that we won't come back if we go this time, and I want to buy it for my sister in Jingli." ”

Cheng Liuniang looked at her and sneered.

"Sister?" She said, "So, you are Cheng Banniang now?" ”

"I have an extra sister? Am I not the eldest daughter anymore? ”

"I don't want it, a stupid sister, how will I see people in the future!"

"I don't want to be Cheng Banniang, I don't want to be Cheng Banniang!"

The sharp cry of resentment in his ears did not seem to have dissipated.

Cheng Liuniang looked at Cheng Qiniang, looking at the childishness that had not subsided, but the undisguised pride and joy on the face of the woman's first appearance.

Since when did she become proud of this silly sister?

"My sister has seen the emperor." Cheng Qiniang didn't like the title of fool anymore, and immediately retorted, looking at Cheng Liuniang with slanted eyes, "But it doesn't matter, it's my own sister, and it's also your cousin, both sisters." ”

Cheng Liuniang sneered.

"I don't dare to ask for such an unfaithful and unfilial sister." She said, raising her hand and pushing away the box that Cheng Qiniang put in front of her.

The box fell to the ground, and the silk handkerchief and the gold and silver beads fell from it.

Cheng Liuniang was stunned, she really thought it was Cheng Qiniang's leftover silk flowers and silk handkerchiefs and other things, but she didn't expect that there were jewelry.

Cheng Qiniang, who has always been stingy, was willing to do it

It can be seen that he wants to climb up to a rich sister, and the things that used to be unsightly.

"Your sister is not easy to get along with, you still hold these things. He will be cast out in the future. It's better to sell it and make it winding up and go home. Cheng Liuniang snorted and said. As he stood up, he stepped on the silk handkerchief as if unintentionally and deliberately.

Cheng Qiniang cried, stretched out her hand to push Cheng Liuniang away, squatted down and stuffed the silk flower jewelry into the box indiscriminately, picked it up and ran away.

The two sisters always quarrel like this, and the maids and maids have long been used to it, and there is nothing else to say at the moment.

Cheng Liuniang turned around and couldn't help but take a few steps outside, and Cheng Qiniang's figure was no longer visible.

The sound of firecrackers rang out at this moment, and it continued, even on the side of the inner mansion boudoir, which was deafening.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Liuniang couldn't help but ask.

"It's the second master's gift." The servants said loudly. There are even some little girls who simply run out to watch the excitement.

It's down.

Cheng Liuniang covered her ears and walked out a few more steps, standing under the porch.

"I'll have to receive the decree later." The servants shouted and smiled, "Lady, change your clothes quickly." ”

Although she didn't want to go, she also knew that she had to go, Cheng Liuniang was waited by the maids and servants to change her clothes and came to the front yard, which was already crowded with people, even Mrs. Cheng, who couldn't go out because of her illness, came on crutches, her face was full of red light, and she didn't see any sickness, and there was a sea of people outside the door.

“… The last time the Cheng family received a holy decree and was rewarded. I still remember...", several old men on crutches said loudly in a leaky voice, "... I didn't expect to see it again... It's worth it..."

“… The Cheng family is really virtuous and blessed. I can't look at it, I can't do it, I turned over again...", there are also shrewd people who whispered.

“… What officials have been sealed? There are also people who are concerned about official positions.

But more of it is the people who just watch the excitement, watch the firecrackers, watch the government officials maintain order, see people everywhere, and watch the liveliness of the emperor from the capital.

As for why, what does it have to do with it? It is enough for them to tell the younger generations how lively this meeting is in the future.

In the courtyard of the Cheng family, the emperor had already announced the holy decree, and everyone in the Cheng family kowtowed in thanks.

"Adults can choose a day to enter Beijing, don't worry." The emperor said the scene.

Mrs. Cheng can't wait.

"Those who want to go quickly, those who want to go quickly, they are all packed, and they can leave now." She said loudly.

Master Cheng and the others were ashamed, and Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to help her leave.

“… Originally, what are you waiting for, don't you go to Beijing quickly, enter Beijing quickly and earn me a seal, why is there that the dead ghost Zhou's in this seal, but there is no mine..."

Mrs. Cheng was noisily helped to the backyard by the two daughters-in-law.

At the same time, Second Master Cheng, who had settled down on the emperor's errand, was called aside by Master Cheng.

"I think you'd better think about it." Master Cheng said in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" The second master Cheng asked, looking at the hall, a little eager to go in and enjoy the congratulations of his colleagues in Shangguan.

"Refuse to be rewarded." Master Cheng said in a low voice.

Second Master Cheng was stunned, but relieved.

When an official receives a reward from the imperial court, there will be a common example of refusal to show that he has done a good job, generally after two or three refusals, either accept it, or the emperor will change to another official position, of course, the result is also understood by everyone in advance, this is just a formality.

"I know, I know, big brother, I either just became an official, or I just became an official, and I also know these rules." Second Master Cheng smiled, with a little dissatisfaction that I am no longer a child.

"No, I mean, don't go to the capital, let's go somewhere else." Master Cheng said.

Second Master Cheng finally understood.

"Big brother, are you crazy?" He said with a look of disbelief.
