Chapter 164: Cheng Che's Secret (Lan Linghu's Heshi Bijia)
Evergreen Garden is brightly lit.
Cheng Ergongzi worked hard to write his villain book during the day, and he was not idle at night.
At the end of each month, the accounts of several study houses, as the owner behind the scenes, he has to pass the purpose. And there are many people during the day, and this thing of reading the account book is, of course, best done after dinner.
Others passed by Changqing Garden, thinking that Cheng Ergongzi was stabbing the cone on the head of the cantilever, so he was embarrassed to come in and disturb?
Cheng Che looked at the spring surplus of each study, and the head office made a net profit of nearly five hundred taels of silver in the spring, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Over the years, he has used the profits from his study to buy a lot of land, all of which have been calculated, and his family is quite rich, and he will ...... in the future In the future, if she marries slightly, she can't count on the situation of Bofu, he can add a generous dowry to her, and don't let anyone look down on her.
Under the candle flame, Cheng Ergongzi was as handsome as jade, and his smile was as gentle as water.
Of course, he shouldn't have bought private property, his parents are here, and the family has not yet separated, once this thing spreads, no matter where it is, he has not done it right.
However, under the appearance of modesty and courtesy, Cheng Ergongzi has never been a person who follows the rules, which may have been doomed the night before he was sent away by Cheng Jiubo and his wife.
Because he was reluctant to his parents, Cheng Che, who was still young, quietly got up at night and stood outside their window, hesitating to go in and sleep with his parents for the last night, but thinking of his mother's unpretentious attitude to him on weekdays, the little man kept hesitating.
Perhaps, tomorrow he will leave, and his mother will be better to him tonight, right?
The young Cheng Che thought like this, and just made up his mind. He heard those words that he will never forget.
"Lao Jiu, don't be bored, the third boy went to Bofu. That's a blessing. β
"Alas-" Father's long sigh fell on the ears of the young Cheng Che, and suddenly he had an ominous premonition, and he stood quietly outside the window, motionless.
Guo's voice rose: "Alas, sigh what? If you have the ability to make money, you can make money, and I am willing to send the three boys away? Although he was not born to me, he was raised for seven or eight years. So much time. It's just to have a dog, and there are feelings! β
"That's not what I meantβ"
"That's not what you mean? So what do you mean? Seeing that the family is about to be unable to open the pot, the whole family is going to drink the northwest wind. If you don't send the three boys away, you have to send the second boy away. Let's not talk about whether the uncle looks down on the second boy, think about it, can the old uncle and the old lady stay alive? Once they pass away. They went out in the second room. When the time comes, let the second boy feed a widowed mother and a little sister? You can't bear it, but I can't bear it. It's so decided, let's send the three boys away, so that he can get out of this yellow earth, give him a fortune, and our father and mother are worthy of him. β
The wind was very cold that night, and Cheng Che stood outside the window, cold to the bone.
He couldn't help but think. Mother's words were funny, so she sent her second brother away. I was reluctant to let the second brother support his family and suffer in the future, and sending him away was to send him a fortune.
However, in the past, when the little boy saw his mother clipping the chicken leg to the eldest brother and the second brother, and gave him the chicken butt, he coaxed him that the chicken butt was the most fragrant, and it would be secretly uncomfortable, but he would no longer be able to do it later.
He shouldn't be uncomfortable, it turns out that he is different from his eldest brother and second brother.
I don't know if I was unwilling, or surprised, Cheng Che stood outside the window for a long time, listening to the familiar sound of Cheng Jiubo's smoking in the room.
Finally, the clicking stopped, and Cheng Jiubo said, "Okay, just listen to you." But send the three boys away tomorrow morning and dress the children in good clothes. β
The young Cheng Che finally turned around and left silently, and for the good clothes that Cheng Jiubo fought for him, again and again, he gave the silver that could afford countless good clothes to the Guo family who came to fight the autumn breeze, and did not complain.
In any case, they raised him for a few years after all.
Cheng Che, who gradually took root in Bofu, was not afraid of anything, only worried that one day, once his identity as not the son of the Cheng family was exposed, he would be expelled from the family. When the time comes, he will always have a place to settle down and give him the people he cares about, Han Shi, Weiwei, and a person to rely on.
This is the motivation for Cheng Che to start Liuchu Huazhai in the first place.
Later, Cheng Che followed the elders back to Chengjiazhuang to worship his ancestors, and also quietly went to the grange where the villagers said that the Guo family gave birth to the child.
The topography there has long been imprinted in his mind.
Cheng Che deduced that if he was brought back by Guo there in the first place, then it was most likely that he drifted down the river.
Later, several study branches were opened in the upper towns along the river.
After all, the study is restricted, and recently, Cheng Che has taken out a sum of money to open some teahouses in those towns, and may be able to slowly find out his life experience.
Cheng Che doesn't care what his background is, and he is not even eager to find his biological parents, but he is used to mastering those unknown factors that may bring him changes, so that he will not be passive in the future.
"Second brother, are you in Wenshu?" Outside the door, a familiar voice was heard.
Cheng Che retracted his mind, hurriedly stuffed the account book into the drawer, and said loudly: "Weiwei, come in." β
Cheng Wei lifted the corner of her skirt and walked in across the threshold, and before she got closer, she said angrily: "Second brother, I have said, don't read at night, beware of burning your eyes." β
"I didn't finish reading it in the afternoon, and I was planning not to read it." Cheng Che looked at his sister, his starry eyes were shining.
Obviously, Cheng Wei's arrival made him happy.
Faded away those suppressed secrets and burdens, Cheng Che was just a young man who had not yet performed the crown ceremony.
What young man would be unhappy when he first sees the person he has quietly put in his heart?
Even if he is happy, he can only be in the name of his brother forever, and he is willing to do it.
"Weiwei, I heard that early this morning, you and your mother went to the palace to see the crown princess?"
"Hmm."
"What's the matter with the crown princess?"
Cheng Che always felt that Cheng Ya suddenly summoned Cheng Wei's mother and daughter into the palace, which was a little strange.
"But there is nothing to do, we have only been there for a short time, and Concubine Hua Guifei has come over, and she has brought the ninth princess." Cheng Wei was a little surprised when he said this.
Cheng Che didn't urge, and looked at her gently.
In the end, Cheng Wei was only shy for a moment, but couldn't help but say: "Second brother, do you know that Hualiang?" β
"Hualiang?" Cheng Che smiled, "I've heard of it." β
Cheng Wei bit her lip and said: "I don't know if what the eldest sister guessed is true, she said that Concubine Hua came over to see us for her nephew!" β
"Oh?" Cheng Ergongzi remained silent, and anger was already growing in his heart.
Hualiang is such a gentleman, and he dares to covet Weiwei?
"And then?"
"Concubine Hua said a few words to me and Cheng Yao, and let us take the Ninth Princess out to play, and then left."
Cheng Che breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that for some reason, Hua Guifei didn't take a fancy to it.
Cheng Ergongzi breathed a sigh of relief and was a little angry at the same time.
Still can't see it? It's unreasonable!
Then I heard Cheng Wei say: "But I left from the eldest princess's mansion this afternoon, and that Hua Liang was too shameless and hid in my carriage!" (To be continued.) )
