Chapter 34: Confusion

Although far away from the capital, those famous nobles are no strangers to Master Cheng.

For example, if you are a child of the Han family, you will know that it is the Han family, a generation of hairpins in Xiangzhou, and if you say that you are a child of the Su family, you are referring to the Su family of Fenzhou, who is famous in the world.

So when it comes to the Qin family, especially the Qin family in the princess's mansion, it is the Qin family of the Sichuan Wang clan.

The reason why their Qin family became a wang family was not because they had married a princess, but precisely because they were from the Qin family, so the princess would marry her.

Master Cheng never thought that he would have a relationship with the Qin family in his life.

"You're thinking too much."

Holding the teacup in a daze, he even forgot to wipe the tea stains on his body, and Mrs. Cheng's faint voice sounded in his ears.

"The Qin family is the Qin family, but the Qin family is not all the Qin family."

It's like their Cheng family, the south is also Jiangzhou, and the north is also Jiangzhou, but can it be the same?

"Do you think the Zhou family can catch up with the Qin family, or is that stupid child?"

Master Cheng came to his senses and wiped the water stains while putting down the tea bowl.

"It's just a trick played by the Zhou family, and I don't know what benefits I promise to people, and I coax some people who seem to have heads and faces in the capital to make a show." Mrs. Cheng snorted.

"What other good can there be, it's nothing more than a dowry." Master Cheng said.

No matter how many people have a head and a face, they can lose their dignity in front of the dowry, and the two Beijing officials were in trouble for a widow's 100,000 yuan dowry, and even the emperor had to come forward.

Although Cheng Jianniang's mother's dowry is not as much as 100,000 yuan, it has been in business for so many years, not to mention 50,000 yuan.

50,000 is enough to make many people tempted.

Mrs. Cheng nodded. That's exactly what she thought.

"My mother's side said. I want to do it next month. ”

"Then do it. It can't be too shabby, it's also the face of our Cheng family, and it also prevents the Zhou family from taking the opportunity to stir up trouble..."

The husband and wife here are talking about marriage, and the second master Cheng and his wife are also talking about marriage.

"What you said is true?" Second Master Cheng's face was stunned, "Qin family! ”

Second Mrs. Cheng nodded.

"I've got it all figured out." She said, reaching out to touch her heart, as if she was a little out of breath, "Do you know who they propose?" ”

"Who?" Second Master Cheng asked.

Those kind of people. It can't be for a cousin, right? The children of the side clan are also good.

"The Qin family has seven sons, and the clan is thirteen." Second Mrs. Cheng said, her eyes shining.

Second Master Cheng stared at her.

"Is it a fool?" He asked.

Second Mrs. Cheng pushed him.

"It doesn't matter if he's a fool or a madman." She said, "Qin family! That's the Qin family! ”

Second Master Cheng nodded.

"There are a few others, all of which are good." Second Mrs. Cheng continued, pondering, "I think, otherwise I would take the opportunity to settle our Qi Niang's family affairs..."

"Don't just look at the surface, the Zhou family, after all, you can't believe it." Second Master Cheng said. "Our Qi Niang, don't you dare to be casual."

Second Lady Cheng leaned on his arm and nodded. With a bit of intimacy in laughter.

"I just thought, these people don't know which one to marry, dowry or something, if the Zhou family wants to share it with us, they will give them some," she said with a smile.

"Why are you so generous all of a sudden?" Second Master Cheng asked with a smile.

"Sometimes money isn't the most important thing." Second Mrs. Cheng smiled, "I think the Zhou family is not bad, if we get close to them, it should be better than now." ”

She snorted as she spoke, and pouted at the courtyard on the eldest lady's side.

"....We can't even drink soup when we eat meat over there, why?" She said, "Also, Jiao Niang married this time, and no matter whether it was good or not, we will marry those people, kiss or not, look around, have the opportunity to move around, won't we be able to pick a better one in the future?" Also, you have a better future. ”

Master Cheng Er was silent.

"Wouldn't it be humiliating to go around like that kind of fool?" He said.

"What a stupid one." Second Mrs. Cheng smiled, "You haven't seen her yet, but now you don't look stupid, it's very attractive to not move, so the Zhou family really has some ability to dress her up like this." ”

Say this and command him outside the door.

"Go and call the eldest lady to come, and say that the second master is back."

"I don't want to see her." Second Master Cheng said with a face.

The servant woman outside the door had already answered.

Second Mrs. Cheng let her son come again, Second Master Cheng was very happy not to see her son for a long time, and personally hugged and teased, the family was happy, the servant woman came back, and did not bring Cheng Jianniang over.

"I said I was going to see the eldest master." The servant woman said.

Second Mrs. Cheng immediately got up and stretched out her hand to push Second Master Cheng.

"See, you don't want to see it, someone is in a hurry to see it." She said, "Go, that's your daughter, and they don't want to take advantage of it." ”

Second Mrs. Cheng wronged Master Cheng, and when she heard that Cheng Jianniang came to see her, he was also surprised.

"See me?" He frowned and said, "See what I'm doing?" ”

"Oh, I said I wanted to see you the day I just came back." Mrs. Cheng said.

"Nope!" Master Cheng said with a heavy face.

Mrs. Cheng hurriedly stopped.

"See you." She said, "Seeing her is actually seeing the Zhou family, and seeing what the Zhou family tells her to say." ”

"What does the Zhou family love to say, do I want to listen to them?" Master Cheng snorted and said.

Mrs. Cheng waved her hand at the servant, and the servant hurriedly retreated, and after a while, Cheng Jianniang came in.

"Look at that girl." Mrs. Cheng said in a low voice.

Master Cheng reluctantly looked over, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

With a face as white as jade, dark clothes, dignified shoulders and backs, clothes fluttering and stepping in.

What a beauty!

"....That girl was sent by Mrs. Zhou at the beginning, and the last time she came back and ran away with the people of the Zhou family, you see that this time it is her again..."

Mrs. Cheng's voice whispered in her ears, but Master Cheng never looked away.

That girl? Which girl? There is this woman walking in style. Heaven and earth are somewhat tarnished. How can you see other people!

Such a grace. is worthy of the Qin family in Sichuan.

This thought flashed through Master Cheng's mind, and he himself was shocked by this thought.

"I've seen my uncle."

The woman in front of her was kneeling in front of her, upright, and bowed.

Master Cheng had the urge to return the favor for a moment.

"You," he said, sitting up straight with a slight cough, "Sit down." ”

Cheng Jianniang saluted and thanked her again, and then sat up straight.

Master Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these daughters in the family. Although someone was specially taught, no one did the etiquette as smoothly as this woman.

Is it better to ask someone to teach than to be a fool who has never been taught?

In just over a year, the Zhou family can teach people like this? No matter how much effort the Zhou family has put in, as the saying goes, what can be carved must not be rotten wood, is this fool... Really not stupid?

But how is this possible?

"Jiao Niang, what are you looking for your uncle?"

Mrs. Cheng had already spoken first.

Master Cheng came back to his senses and looked at the woman sitting in front of him.

Before the woman spoke, she rushed to Mrs. Cheng and bowed slightly.

"I want to see the family tree." She said.

As soon as this remark came out, Cheng Da and his wife were stunned.

They had thought of all kinds of things that this woman would say, but they really couldn't imagine that it would be such an inexplicable thing that could not be hit with eight poles.

"What do you think that's doing?" Mrs. Cheng frowned and asked.

Before Cheng Jianniang could answer, Master Cheng spoke first.

"Did you know in advance that someone in the capital had come to propose marriage?" He asked.

Mrs. Cheng was taken aback again. I was amazed to see it.

Why do you suddenly ask this?

Master Cheng was also a little surprised when he asked, in fact, he didn't know why he asked this.

"Did they really come to propose?" Cheng Jianniang smiled slightly. Nodding, "I know." ”

There was no surprise in this answer, Mrs. Cheng, this kind of thing was naturally discussed by the Zhou family.

Master Cheng's expression changed slightly, this short sentence seemed to have a feeling that he couldn't say, and he was about to come out but couldn't come out.

"What do you mean by your uncle?" Mrs. Cheng asked, "Do you listen to your uncle, or from your family?" ”

After she finished speaking, she also glanced at the girl kneeling by the door.

The girl has been very quiet, and she hasn't even raised her head.

It can be seen that what to say has been taught, and I am not worried at all at this time.

Mrs. Cheng snorted in her heart.

"I listen to my own." Cheng Jianniang said, looking at Master Cheng, "So uncle, I want to see the family tree, I want to know who I am." ”

This answer made Mrs. Cheng frown, but Master Cheng's eyes lit up.

Listen to her own, if you want to know whose family she is, she naturally belongs to the Cheng family, and the people of the Cheng family will naturally not listen to the words of the Zhou family!

"If only you had this heart." He nodded and said, looking out the door, "Liuwen." ”

A short time later, an older, generous man hurried in.

"What does the lord command?" He asked respectfully.

"Take her to see the family tree." Master Cheng said, and after finishing speaking, he thought that this woman was illiterate, "You read it to her." ”

The man responded, glanced at Cheng Jianniang slightly, and then withdrew to wait.

Cheng Jianniang thanked her and got up and went out.

"Hey, what do you mean, what do you mean, what are you doing with genealogy?" Mrs. Cheng frowned and said, "Why did you agree to let her see it?" ”

"She said that she wants to be a member of the Cheng family, so she won't listen to the Zhou family." Master Cheng nodded and said.

Mrs. Cheng looked at him.

She said? When did she say that? Why didn't I hear that? She asked.

Master Cheng twisted his beard for a moment.

"It's just that she didn't say that she wanted to know who she was by looking at the family tree, she listened to her own...."He said with a little stumbling.

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted angrily by Mrs. Cheng.

"That's what she said? You said it yourself! She shouted, "You're dizzy, what are you thinking!" ”

Yes, what was he thinking, this woman said this, why did he think of this?

However, when he watched and listened to this woman say this, he felt that this was what he meant...

Could it be that this is not the meaning at all, but that he thinks too much about it? Why does he think so much? It was as if from the first words of the woman's mouth, she was the Lord to guide the conversation...

The most important thing is that all this is not deliberate, but a natural thing, how is this possible! It is impossible for a junior to do this in front of him, let alone a stupid junior.

What's wrong?

Master Cheng couldn't help but reach out and press his forehead.

"You can watch it if you want, it doesn't matter." He said nonchalbly.

After finishing speaking, he was stunned again.

Genealogy

It seems like this is the second time in two months that someone has asked to look at the family tree.

So is there any correlation between these two?

The thought flashed, and Master Cheng hurriedly threw it away again.

Even what is it, he thinks about it again! What does the last time the people from the Beijing government have anything to do with this fool in their own family!

Speaking of the last time, what is going on with the people in Beijing? Could it really be a reconciliation of the complaint? The solution of a petty official who is released is so important that it is worth sending someone from Beijing to check it in person?

At this time, Master Cheng was not the only one who felt that this matter was strange and asked.

In the capital, the palace, and the queen mother's palace, many people sat and laughed.

"Oh yes, Your Highness." Gao Ling, who was wearing an official robe and was full of smiles, turned his head to look at the king of Jin'an who was playing chess with the second prince on the other side.

The king of Jin'an looked at it with a smile.

"Guo Quan of the household department, can His Highness recognize him?" Gao Lingjun asked with a smile.

King Jin'an nodded.

"I've heard of it, it's a judge, I think I've heard someone talk about it?" He said, frowning and thinking again, then looked at the eldest prince sitting on the side, "I heard Your Highness talk about it, what did you mention at the court meeting?" ”

Before the eldest prince could speak, the concubine on the side smiled.

"What does the child's family know about the government, don't talk nonsense in private." She said.

The eldest prince participates in the court meeting, but talks about it with others casually, this kind of behavior is really unsafe.

Gao Lingjun obviously knew it too, and immediately changed the topic with a smile.

He naturally won't continue to talk about topics that are harmful to the eldest prince.

The king of Jin'an smiled slightly, lowered his head and continued to play chess with the second prince.

"What's wrong with that guy?" The Queen Mother, who was reclining on the couch, heard their words and asked.

"It's nothing, I heard that the previous paragraph privately asked people to check the solution of a petty official, it's really a strange thing." Gao Lingjun said with a smile.

"What's so strange about that, don't you dare to solve the situation casually, isn't the household department doing this, taking care of people for Your Majesty." The Queen Mother smiled.

Everyone laughed.

"Mother, the household department is not only concerned about this." Gao Lingjun said with a smile.

"Well, it would be nice if they could do this well." The Queen Mother also smiled.

The harem did not criticize the major affairs of the court and politics, and did not wait for others to remind her, the queen mother herself changed the topic, and laughed for a while, and everyone got up and retired.

"Your Highness, slow down, don't run."

Walking out of the gate of the Queen Mother's Palace, the second prince immediately pulled the king of Jin'an County to trot, and the attendants were so panicked that they were busy trotting to dissuade them.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm going to find my father." The second prince said.

"My father is still busy with government affairs, don't bother." The eldest prince said.

The second prince turned around and smiled at him.

"My father asked me to go." He said.

"You pestered Your Majesty first, and Your Majesty had no choice but to agree." King Jin'an took the words and smiled, holding his hand and asking him to slow down.

These words made the eldest prince's face much better, and he raised his head a few points.

"I'll do my homework." He said, looking back at the concubine and Gao Lingjun behind him.

The concubine smiled at him.

"Okay, let's go." She said.

"Your Highness is so diligent." Gao Lingjun also nodded in admiration.

Only then did the eldest prince turn around and walk away with his feet raised.

Watching them leave, the smile on the concubine's face suddenly dissipated, and she looked at the second prince who was far away on the other side.

"The sixth brother is smart, and His Majesty loves him more and more." She said slowly.
