Chapter 12 Consultation

Where is this crazy, it is deliberately trying to harm them!

Mrs. Cheng's angry eyes were on fire, and she didn't care about packing up the big bags in the house, and after hearing Cheng Er's words, she came straight to Mrs. Cheng to cry.

“… It is said that the brother should help, and we also know that now your mother is not in good health, and the eldest brother is also seriously ill, and Erlang is so far away, he can't help if there is something...."

Before Mrs. Cheng finished speaking, Mrs. Cheng dropped the cup.

"Nonsense! I'm in good health, and I'm still waiting for my son to earn my life! She shouted, "Da Lang is not well? Is there no one else in the family? The grandson is idle, and the great-grandson is hugged, can't he even hold up a home? Besides, Erlang went to the capital as an official, was it for himself? It's not for our Cheng family! ”

"Sure enough, I'm sick and confused! Call him! ”

Looking at the servant woman who ran out in a panic, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Mrs. Cheng's mouth with her head hanging her head and wiping her tears.

The scolding in Mrs. Cheng's room lasted for a long time.

Mrs. Cheng knelt outside the door and cried to accept the guilt for her father, begging the old lady to let him kneel and receive the punishment because Mr. Cheng's serious illness had not recovered.

"Whoever dares to ruin Erlang's future will ruin the future of our Cheng family, and I will not give up even if I give up this life!" Old Madam Cheng shouted indignantly, "He is your brother, why can't you see him well?" ”

"Mother, I'm just for his good..."Master Cheng raised his head a little helplessly and said, but before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Mrs. Cheng.

"Master, I beg you, don't say any more." She leaned over and cried.

Master Cheng sighed when he heard this. Bow down and prostrate.

"It's not thoughtful. Mother forgiveness. He said.

"I'll bring enough money to Erlang. It is said that it is not easy to live in the capital, and you have to make friends and socialize, so don't lose the face of the Cheng family. Old Madam Cheng snorted and said.

Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but look up again.

"My mother's family has no money, and the second uncle is not short of money when he goes to the capital, that Jiao...."She said, and was interrupted by Master Cheng with a pestle on his arm before she finished speaking.

"Yes, Mother." Master Cheng said, "The poor family is rich." No matter how difficult it is, it will not make the second brother's future difficult. ”

Mrs. Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's go down." She said, and said earnestly and comfortingly, "What is your brother doing so far away to be an official?" Isn't it also for the Cheng family? To help you? How can you complain? ”

I'm afraid that he will harm his future and the Cheng family.

Master Cheng smiled bitterly, but he knew that he couldn't tell his mother clearly, so he respectfully responded that he and the eldest lady withdrew.

"Brother and sister, if there is anything, you can come and tell me directly, there are some things that my mother doesn't understand. Don't use her as a gun, she's old. It's not easy, why bother to let her old man worry about you and my juniors. Master Cheng looked at Second Mrs. Cheng and said.

"Yes." Second Mrs. Cheng bowed down with a smile, "It's still the eldest brother who is thoughtful." ”

Master Cheng didn't pay attention to her anymore and looked at Second Master Cheng.

"Even if I say that you don't plan to think about it, then it's better to wait." He said, "I'll go after the New Year...."

Cheng Er, who had already made a few words of respectful brother, said a few words of guilt, let his eldest brother suffer from supporting his mother at home, and his own unfilial piety, etc., when he heard this, he suddenly became anxious again.

"Big brother, what do you mean? Going after the New Year? Dali Temple is gone, and there is no one else for me? I don't have many people waiting to fill in the blanks! He said.

"So you can turn around if Dali Temple leaves, you better go somewhere else, that place in the capital is really not good." Master Cheng said.

"Big brother!" Second Master Cheng was simply angry, "What do you mean?" I'm going to the capital to be an official, not to cross the knife mountain, not to corrupt the Cheng family, why do you have to stop me? ”

Speaking of which, I think of what my wife said.

That's what women can say, and he doesn't take it seriously at all.

But now looking at Master Cheng's strange appearance, he has to think about it a little crookedly.

"Brother, don't you want me to live better than you?"

"Ahh Master Cheng took a sip, "Isn't it something to be happy about if you're not as good as me?" ”

"Then why don't you want me to go to the capital?" Second Master Cheng said.

"I'm afraid that the capital is Dao Mountain, and you are going to give people fish and meat!" Master Cheng said in a low voice.

Second Master Cheng looked at him with a stunned expression.

"Big brother, if this is the case, people in the world are afraid that they will all want to go to Hob Mountain to make fish and meat." He said with a smirk.

Master Cheng didn't smile, but nodded.

"It's the same, in this world, for officials and profits, on the one hand, it's not just Hob Mountain to make fish." He muttered.

It seems that the eldest brother is not lightly ill, and his brain has become weird.

Second Master Cheng eased his face, and looked at Master Cheng no longer angry and impatient, but with a little pity.

"Big brother, hurry up and go back to rest, I've been an official for more than ten years, and I don't know how to do it?" He said.

"You've been an official for more than ten years, don't you think this matter is a little weird?" Master Cheng asked.

"I don't think so!" Second Master Cheng said impatiently.

"Don't you want to think that Jiao Niang is so disgusted and jealous of us, she will be willing to let you enter Beijing?" Master Cheng asked, "She will definitely not ask for a reward for you, even if Her Majesty is interested, she will definitely block the resignation of the reward." ”

Second Master Cheng was furious.

"She dares!" He cried out, "Such disloyalty, unrighteousness, and unfilial piety as a son of man!" Heaven does not allow it! ”

"Let's not say anything that is tolerated by heaven, let's say that people are tolerated." Master Cheng also said anxiously, "With her ability, what else is there she that she doesn't dare to tell the emperor, but now this reward is still given to you, which means that someone must have forcibly given it, it must not be as she wishes, it must be as good as her wishes, it must be a feud, do you say that you have become someone else's gun?" ”

Second Master Cheng looked at Master Cheng like a fool.

"Big brother, what are you thinking?" He frowned, pointing at himself. "That's my daughter! It's my daughter! She won't let me? It's against her! ”

What else does Master Cheng have to say. Second Master Cheng stopped first.

"Big brother. What happened last time, it wasn't my disobedience as a brother, what you did was really excessive, the dowry should have been given to her, this is not disobedience," he said, "If you want to say that she will not tolerate you, she will not allow you, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Without waiting for Master Cheng to speak again, he resolutely raised his feet.

"Big brother. I'm leaving tomorrow, I have to clean up today, and I don't need to send off the family banquet, you can recuperate, I'll go sit with the people in the government. He said.

What else did Master Cheng have to say, Second Master Cheng left with a gust of wind.

"Am I overdoing the dowry? None of your business? He was angry and amused, "Yes, I did too much, it has nothing to do with you, then you have to remember." When you arrive in the capital, don't do too much to her, otherwise it's no wonder that she is disobedient. ”

Speaking of which. He was stunned.

Disobedience....

"So that's it?" He muttered, thoughtful.

"Why?" Mrs. Cheng asked hurriedly.

"Hostage." Master Cheng said slowly.

Master Cheng figured it out and had the heart to talk to Second Master Cheng again, but Second Master Cheng came back drunk at night, and he climbed into the car early the next morning and was half-awake and half-drunk, and the family fled as if they were in the car, and they didn't even have time to let them see them off.

The couple acted like this, only making Mrs. Cheng angry and simply not sending it, and Master Cheng, who couldn't afford to lose people, was still busy chasing the children outside the city with the children.

“… But blessed are you..."

“… In the future, Qi Niang and they will be able to find a good family in the capital..."

“… I heard that the eldest lady and the emperor both know each other, and listening to the meaning of the second lady, Qi Niang may be able to marry the royal family..."

"Hey, then our family is going to have a royal relative..."

The maid girl in the courtyard whispered earnestly, accompanied by rattling laughter.

Cheng Liuniang stood up abruptly and smashed a vase on the windowsill out.

"Get out of here, bothered?" She shouted.

The cracking and shouting frightened the servants and ran away.

Cheng Liuniang stood in front of the window, the wind in the lotus pond was blowing with chrysanthemums, in the golden autumn of October, in a few days the family could hold a chrysanthemum poetry party, but now they are all gone, they are all gone, they are all gone, and they are all chasing the fool in the capital to call her sister.

Cheng Liuniang flattened her mouth, and her tears couldn't stop falling.

"She's a bad person!" She shouted outside, "She's a bad person, you're going to be killed by her sooner or later!" ”

The bustle in front of Cheng's house has dispersed, but the news about Cheng Er's acceptance of the holy decree in the city is still lively.

Compared with the bustle of the northern journey, the southern journey is very deserted.

"I didn't expect your lady to be so powerful." Cheng Ping held the hexagram flag and withdrew his gaze from the river, and said.

"That's nature." Steward Cao said.

"However, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't escape the favor of his parents." Cheng Ping said with a smile, with a bit of schadenfreude, "I don't know if your lady dares to be domineering in the capital?" ”

Steward Cao squinted at him.

"My lady never talks about domineering." He said, "My lady only preaches. ”

Cheng Ping looked at Cao Guan and stroked his hands with great joy.

"Steward Cao, you didn't follow me in vain, and you also realized the Tao." He laughed.

Before the words fell, Steward Cao raised his hand and slapped his hat.

"Don't talk nonsense with me, go and show the Qi family feng shui, a hundred dollars can't be saved for so long, it's easy to earn it, you can save a little, and you will eat and drink in three or two days." He scolded.

Cheng Ping grinned and covered his hat.

"No hurry, no hurry, everything is certain." He said.

Steward Cao was about to beat him, so Cheng Ping ran away.

When Cheng Er's family came to the capital on the road, Cheng Jianniang in the capital still lived the usual life, shooting arrows in the morning, then coming outside the door to learn calligraphy, cooking with a few girls in the afternoon, and reading in the evening....

"In short, it is not far from this acre and three points of land." Huang said, sighing, "Although it is said that women's families should go out less, but young people should also go out for a walk." ”

"Big lady, do you want to go out? Where we go, we'll go tomorrow. The maidservant girl who walked by heard it and said with a smile.

"I'm going to be all over the capital, and I'm going to go out." Huang said angrily.

Now that he is familiar with the people at home, and there are fewer of those restraints, Huang is a person who loves to talk and laugh, so his nature is natural.

"Big lady, how did you finish shopping in the capital, there are still too many." The handmaid laughed.

As he spoke, there was a knock on the door.

"Someone is coming, I'll go and see." Huang hurriedly got up and said.

Because of the great achievements of the divine arm bow, the demand suddenly increased greatly, and the emperor couldn't wait to have a man overnight, so Fan Jianglin simply lived in the bow and crossbow courtyard to supervise the work day and night.

The Huang family is no longer afraid of being sent away, even the imperial family has seen it, and other people are nothing in the eyes of the Huang family, and no one comes.

There was a man standing outside the door, who seemed very apprehensive, and he was startled when the door opened.

"I, I want to ask Mrs. Cheng for advice." He said with some panic.

"The lady writes in front of the door every day, if you want to ask for advice, just come tomorrow morning." The maidservant said.

The man shook his head busily.

"No, no, I am—" he hesitated, "to ask for something else." ”

Something else, please?

The maid couldn't help but look at him, he really didn't look like a scholar, he was too stout, and he wasn't angry with a book.

"You're probably here to learn how to cook, aren't you?" She couldn't help but ask.

After Qin Shisan sent three girls, the news spread, and a few more people were eager to try to send girls, but Cheng Jianniang did not refuse, only said that the place at home was small, and there were many people who could not see clearly, and they would send them after sending these people away.

When the news spread, the big families in the capital became lively, and it was not a matter of sending a few cooks to learn to cook, but the important matter of befriending this Cheng lady, and they all came to inquire one after another.

The man was stunned by what she said, but he didn't seem to understand, and he was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly shook his head.

"I am, I want to, I want to do business with my mother." He said.

Trade?

The handmaid examined the man.

"You are?" She asked.

Only then did the man remember, he was busy touching his body, and after touching it for a long time, he lowered his hand.

"I, I'm no longer official, so I don't have a name." He bowed his head and said with a little shame, "I, my surname is Li Mingmao..."

"Li Mao?"

Cheng Jianniang heard this, put down the scroll in her hand and sat upright.

"Yes, the people of the Li family are the ones who caused the fire and were punished half a month ago." The handmaid whispered.

Cheng Jianniang nodded and looked at the man kneeling under the corridor.

"Your family has come to me." She said.

Since the fireworks that day, the people of the Li family's fireworks have come to the door with heavy gifts, wanting to talk about cooperation.

"But I'm not in the business." Cheng Jianniang continued.

Li Mao responded, raised his head and looked at the maids around him, and stopped talking.

The maidservant glanced at Cheng Jianniang, and saw that she did not refuse, so she immediately got up and retreated with someone.

"Lady, I didn't mean to do my family's fireworks business with you," he said, taking something out of his sleeve and pushing it over, "I want to do this business with you." ”
