Chapter Seventy-Nine: Lucky
What happened to Cheng Jianniang's side The people of the Cheng family didn't know that so many things had happened, whether they wanted to or not, they still had to live their lives.
Second Mrs. Cheng stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and coughed twice, and took out her hand from the warm sleeve, feeling a little chilly.
"What's going on? Are all people dead? She raised an eyebrow.
Outside the door, two servants hurried in.
"Why is it so cold? Don't you care if the brazier is extinguished? Second Mrs. Cheng shouted.
The two servant women bowed their heads and were a little timid.
"Madam, it's not extinguished." She said.
"Why is it so cold if you don't extinguish?" Second Mrs. Cheng shouted.
"Madam, the charcoal I have bought now is not very good," said the servant woman, bowing her head.
Second Mrs. Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"If you don't want to live this day, don't live it." She said, standing up, "Take our anger on this food and drink, do you want to accumulate some yin virtue!" ”
Her last sentence was sent out in a raised voice.
"The sins I did brought the family to suffer, and I was embarrassed to say that I ate fasting and recited Buddha."
This kind of scolding has been going on for some time, and the servants in the courtyard have their heads down as if they have not heard it.
"Mother!"
Cheng Qiniang rushed out of the house and shouted.
Second Lady Cheng's voice stopped.
"Qi Niang, after the New Year, you go to your grandmother's house for a few days," she said again.
"I'm not going." Cheng Qiniang interrupted her and shouted, "I have a home, so I don't go to other people's homes." ”
"Isn't it peaceful at home lately, how good it is for you to go out quietly and quietly." Second Lady Cheng frowned and said.
Cheng Qiniang looked at her and kept her face tense for a moment.
"This is my home. Nowhere else is my home. No matter how good it is, it's not my home! She shouted. Turned around and ran out.
Second Mrs. Cheng shouted a few times but didn't stop.
Cheng Qiniang pedaled all the way to the courtyard of Mrs. Cheng's side and stopped outside the courtyard.
At this time in previous years, this is the most lively place in the family, such as the cloud of servant women asking for instructions on the preparation of the New Year's Festival, as well as those who come and go to give gifts, as well as their sisters and brothers, will gather here, unable to help but willing to watch this liveliness.
But look at the present. Not to mention that there is no taste of the year, it is as cold as no popularity.
Cheng Qiniang walked in slowly.
The courtyard was filled with the smell of medicine, and the two servants were washing something, and the door of the house was open, and Mrs. Cheng could be seen kneeling and looking at something.
"The money over here can't be moved," she said.
"But ma'am, the shop's deficit is too great... The suppliers are pressing," the steward whispered.
"What do you want?"
Before Mrs. Cheng could speak, there was a shout from Mr. Cheng in the room.
Mrs. Cheng hurriedly waved her hand at the steward, and opened her mouth.
"I want to pick up my mother and Liuniang from my aunt's house, so I arranged the house over there again." She said.
Master Cheng didn't say anything more in the house.
Mrs. Cheng waved her hand at the steward, and the steward was a little embarrassed but reluctantly withdrew with the account book.
Mrs. Cheng looked up and saw Cheng Qiniang standing in the courtyard. His expression was slightly startled, and his face was expressionless.
If it was this time before. He had already pedaled into the house, sat down beside Mrs. Cheng, and shouted "Auntie, I want to eat candied fruit", and Mrs. Cheng would smile and reach out to stroke her head.
Since when did she never see that loving smile on her aunt's face again?
"Is Qi Niang coming to find Liu Niang?" Mrs. Cheng said lightly, "She hasn't come back yet, you can go somewhere else to play first." ”
Cheng Qiniang stepped forward and called out to her aunt, but Mrs. Cheng didn't seem to hear it.
"It's time for the master to take the medicine, is the medicine cured?" She said to the outside world.
A servant woman responded, watching people go in and go inside, Cheng Qiniang stood in place and looked more and more lonely, with tears in her eyes, she turned around and ran away again.
"Seven Niangzi, where are you going?"
The servant woman who came up looked at Cheng Qiniang, who was also flying, and shouted.
Cheng Qiniang turned a deaf ear and went straight to the door.
"How did you get out!" They shouted, and chased after them.
When you leave the house, you are greeted by the hustle and bustle.
In the dilapidated alleys, the sound of firecrackers, the laughter of children, and the loud scolding of adults are noisy, but this noise does not make people upset, but makes people feel... Fresh.
Even Cheng Qiniang felt like a fish on the shore returning to the water.
But this feeling was so bad that she didn't feel it in her own home, but outside, on Nancheng's side!
That's ironic!
Looking at Cheng Qiniang here, many children stopped laughing.
Cheng Qiniang also looked at them, these children who were dressed in tatters, with dirty faces and hands, were grinning, what were they laughing at? Laugh at yourself?
"Get out of here!" Cheng Qiniang shouted, stretched out her hand and raised her sleeve to block her head and ran forward until she was stopped in front of Cheng Jianniang's door.
The street door was wide open, Cheng Qiniang saw that there were many people sitting in it, the woman was sitting in the middle, and everyone looked at her with respect, just like the eldest uncle and aunt, when they heard the excitement in front of the door, they all turned their heads to look.
"Lady, then let's retire first." Cheng Ji said.
Cheng Jianniang nodded, watching these people retreat, Steward Cao waved his hand and stopped Cheng Qiniang's entourage from getting out of the way.
"Cheng Jianniang." Cheng Qiniang stepped in angrily and shouted through gritted teeth.
Her servants also hurried to follow at this time, and they were sweating with fright when they heard this.
"Qi Niang, don't be rude, you have to call my sister." They said in a low voice, smiling apologetically at Cheng Jianniang.
"What do you shout, sister." Cheng Qiniang shouted, shook off the hands of the servants, and stepped forward to look at Cheng Jianniang, "No one treats her as a sister, calling your sister is treating you as a sister, if you believe you, you will be a fool!" ”
The faces of the servants turned white with fright.
And Cheng Jianniang, who was sitting in the room, smiled.
"That's right." She said, "Children are the most childlike. ”
"Big lady, don't be like a child." The servants said in a disorderly manner, and couldn't help but say that they would stop Cheng Qiniang and leave.
"Cheng Jianniang, you are a fool. None of us like you. None of us like you. Are you going to harm us? It's your fault that no one likes you, who made you a fool, who made you unlikable, that's your fault, why are you here to hurt us! Cheng Qiniang struggled and shouted.
The servant woman immediately reached out and covered Cheng Qiniang's mouth regardless of it.
"Wait a minute." Cheng Jianniang said, standing up.
It's time to shoot arrows!
It's going to kill!
The servants were so frightened that their legs went limp.
"Big lady," they shouted, kneeling.
"Come here." Cheng Jianniang said, and Cheng Qiniang beckoned.
The servants still wanted to ask for mercy, but Cheng Qiniang had already broken away from them and walked over with her head up.
"I'm not afraid of you." She shouted.
"You're afraid of me, you're not afraid of me. It's your business, it's none of me, and I don't care. Cheng Jianniang said, "Whether you like me or not is also your business, and I don't care if it has nothing to do with me." ”
Cheng Qiniang bit her lower lip and glared at her.
"It's not my fault that you don't like me, it's not your fault." Cheng Jianniang continued.
Cheng Qiniang looked at her stubbornly with a tense face and didn't speak.
"It's not wrong to dislike, and it's not even wrong to bully people, that's the way the world is. People will always be good for what they like and evil for what they don't like. This is human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it. Cheng Jianniang said, smiling slightly.
What the hell is being said?
"If you want to say wrong, it's probably a mistake to not know people clearly." Cheng Jianniang smiled and said as she walked out, "People can't bully the wrong person." ”
Cheng Qiniang looked at the woman in front of her in a daze, forgetting her anger.
Why can't I understand her? Who is the fool?
"What else does she say?"
Master Cheng propped up the bed with his hands to get up, and lay down weakly, causing a violent cough.
"Don't talk about it, why are you so ignorant?" Mrs. Cheng shouted loudly and stretched out her hand to push Cheng Qiniang.
Cheng Qiniang sat on the ground and looked at Mrs. Cheng.
The eldest aunt pushed herself, which was supposed to be more sad than her cold face to herself, but strangely enough, she didn't feel too sad now.
It's not wrong to dislike, people will always be good for what they like, and evil for what they don't like...
"Let her speak." Master Cheng said, urging Cheng Qiniang, "What else did she say?" ”
"She said that when you meet someone you don't like in the future, you must first see if she is better than you, when she is not as good as you, you can do what you want, if she is better than you, you have to hide your dislike, don't let her find out, let alone bully her, that way, there is a price." Cheng Qiniang said.
Master Cheng smiled.
"So, this kind of price is self-inflicted, don't resent others, hate yourself if you want to hate?" He said.
Cheng Qiniang naturally couldn't answer him, because she was already stunned at the time, and it was already good to be able to write down these words and relay them, let alone ask questions.
Mrs. Cheng wept and asked him to stop talking.
"Our family should just be like her since we never had, master, let's not be angry." She persuaded.
"Sir, sir." The butler's shout came from outside the door, and he came in without waiting for an answer, "Someone from the government is here!" ”
The government is here again!
"Haven't you let it go for years? Do you have to force me to die in front of the yamen before you give up? Mrs. Cheng shouted.
"No, no, ma'am, it's decided." The housekeeper said hurriedly.
Verdict down?
Master Cheng sat up suddenly, and Mrs. Cheng didn't care about taking care of Master Cheng, so she hurriedly stepped forward.
"Really?" She asked.
Is the government really willing to make a judgment so quickly to expose this case? Instead of squeezing their Cheng family out of the endless?
"Yes, the dowry was awarded to Mrs. Cheng." The housekeeper said happily.
The dowry was awarded to Mrs. Cheng...
Master Cheng looked at the housekeeper, two months ago, he would not believe that such news would one day become good news in their hearts.
At this moment, looking at the housekeeper's smile and Mrs. Cheng's relieved appearance, it is really sad.
Good, good, good.
I don't know people clearly, and I don't know how powerful you are, so the family wealth was ruined, and the brothers were separated, and it became a joke all over the city.
Good, good, good.
I admit this price!
Master Cheng sighed heavily and lay back on the couch, as if he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes, so he could only raise his hand to signal Mrs. Cheng not to scream in fright.
"I'm tired, I'll take a break." He muttered.
And here is the second lady Cheng who is happy to hear the news.
"It's finally decided?" She asked.
In fact, this is all expected for a long time, and now it is no longer a matter of whether the dowry will be given or not, but when people want it, and now it seems that Cheng Niangzi is willing to let them go.
The servant woman smiled wryly.
"Great, it's time to have a safe year before the year." Second Mrs. Cheng said happily, standing up, "Let's go, let's go see Jiao Niang, so many things, so many shops to hand over and check the accounts, where can she be busy alone." ”
Therefore, she, as a stepmother, must take over and help manage it wholeheartedly, and take over these dowries, which are all theirs, but it is not the turn of the big house to share the benefits.
Second Mrs. Cheng happily took people to Nancheng, but what she saw was that the people went to the empty house.
"Gone?" She shouted in disbelief, "Where did you go?" ”
"The lady said that there is something to do, so let's live in another place." The woman guarding the door said uncontrollably, waving the broom in her hand, kicking up a cloud of dust, choking Mrs. Cheng and the others to dodge.
"Where's the change?" Second Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but ask.
"So how do we know?" The woman pouted.
Second Mrs. Cheng was too lazy to talk to this woman anymore, knowing that she couldn't ask, so she had to turn around helplessly.
"It's going to be the New Year, where are you going," she said, turning around, only to find three strange men standing behind her at some point, and couldn't help but belch in fright.
This place is dirty and unruly, men and women are running around, and she hurriedly turned her head sideways and walked away.
Let's go...
The words of the woman echoed in the ears of the king of Jin'an, and he reached out and lifted his hood to look at the closed door, only to feel weak and tremble slightly.
"Princess." An entourage behind him couldn't help but whisper, "I said that I should have left someone to watch at that time..."
Looking? What is the difference between watching her leave and not watching her go?
The king of Jin'an County clenched his hand.
"Excuse me." He raised his foot and took a step, as if he weighed a thousand pounds, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Cheng Niangzi, are you leaving?" ”
"Let's go, I've said it, and I've asked..."The woman said lazily, while looking up, she saw the person in front of her sighing, threw down the broom, and laughed, "You are the son who came from the capital to talk to the lady, right?" ”
These words made the King of Jin'an County instantly stand up straight and look at the woman.
"Yes." He said, as if he was a little too excited, and his voice trembled uncontrollably, "You recognize me?" ”
"The lady said that there is a handsome little gentleman." The woman smiled and took out a letter from her sleeve, "The lady said that it was inconvenient here, so she found another place to live and waited for the son." ”
A handsome little Langjun!
King Jin'an stretched out his hand to take it, the smile spread out on his face, and his smiling eyes flashed a little.
He knew that she wouldn't lie, she wouldn't lie! She wouldn't lie to him! No, it won't!
