Chapter Thirty-Eight: Thoughtlessness

said that Cheng Cheng was safe and got the letter on this day, and the Rongwei Hou Mansion had already promised Feng Rongrong to be his concubine, but the old lady of the Rongwei Hou Mansion proposed to get back Feng Songxian's dowry.

Cheng Ping'an was not short of money, he only remembered that the dowry that Feng Songxian brought when he married him was indeed rich, but although it was rich, Cheng Ping'an didn't pay attention to it.

He is now opening a lot of business, and there are caravans that connect the north and south, and the silver he earns every day is gone, where will he look down on Feng Songxian's idea, he didn't pay back the dowry, but now the Rongwei Hou Mansion is obviously taking Feng Rongrong for a dowry, probably in their eyes, a concubine is not as important as silver at all, and Cheng Ping'an looks down on the Rongwei Hou Mansion.

In addition, when Feng Songxian married him, the Rongwei Hou Mansion did not agree, so that Cheng Ping'an still remembers the grudge, he made up his mind, no matter how Feng Rongrong entered the door, he thought of breaking off the involvement with the Rongwei Hou Mansion.

Cheng Ping'an happily agreed to return the dowry, and called Linglong only to ask her to clean up and return it to the Rongwei Hou Mansion, who knew that Linglong hesitated for a long time with a difficult face before saying: "Master, I'm afraid that the dowry without grandma is ...... I'm afraid it's ......."

"How?" Cheng Ping'an was a little angry when he saw Linglong hesitating like this, and his face also showed it.

Linglong gritted her teeth: "I'm afraid it's not complete, these years the lord raised Xiaoqing and asked her to manage the business of the shops outside, and asked Hongfu to help take care of the housework, the two of them were proud for a while, and often squeezed the first grandmother, called, so that our girl not only can't buy things and can't get the silver in our house, but a good wife and the main room even the silver that should be deserved is often deducted, our girl has no choice but to take the dowry silver to spend, and in recent years, she has spent a lot of silver, and in order to live a good life, she has sold a lot of things, and now where can she get it together." ”

Cheng Ping'an was shocked when he heard this, and his face changed for a while: "How can this be? Feng is married to me? I'm afraid that she will treat you harshly, so I call Xiaoqing and Butler Hongfu ......"

Linglong lowered her head, secretly proud in her heart, but tears rolled down in her eyes: "Why don't you want to think about what it's like to be in the house in the name of our girl's origin, but can't be housekeeper but is managed by the girl, the people next to us don't respect our girl, so naturally we can be cheap, and the same is true for the two, often wearing gold and silver to show off in front of our girl, and the slave is also upset for the girl, I wanted to tell the master, but the girl didn't call the slave to say, only said that she didn't want to call the master embarrassed." ”

Linglong's words made Cheng Ping'an's heart ache, and at the same time, he was angry, and scolded: "These two sluts, I just value them no matter how much I value them, and I don't go beyond the truth of the grandmother in the main house, they dare to act like this behind my back, I'm afraid it's ......."

Cheng Ping'an said in his heart, it is strange that the Feng family became more and more separated from him later, I am afraid that these two sluts have done something, I can't say that they not only treat the Feng family harshly, but also sow discord, I am afraid that the Feng family will be killed by these two things.

Cheng Ping'an made the mistake that almost all men have to make at this time, and he also has the mentality that almost all men have, that is, if something happens, he doesn't find the reason from himself, and puts the mistake on others, but he doesn't want to think about it, if he doesn't allow it, how dare Xiaoqing and Hongfu do this, if he didn't give Feng Songxian the right to be a housekeeper, how could Feng Songxian's life be so sad.

"Master, now that the Rongwei Hou Mansion wants a dowry, what should we do, this is not good for the reputation of the lord, and no one said that the Guogong Mansion is still greedy for the daughter-in-law's dowry silver."

Linglong lowered her head and cried one by one.

She was secretly happy and proud in her heart, her words not only pitted Xiaoqing and Hongfu, the two girls who had never dealt with her, but also gained a lot of favor in front of Cheng Ping'an, Linglong knew that Cheng Ping'an was a person who missed the past, although Cheng Ping'an didn't like her very much when Feng Songxian was alive, but now that people are dead, Cheng Ping'an often thinks of Feng Songxian's benefits, Linglong is because she knows this, so she uses the reason of the dead to fight the opponent, and gives herself benefits.

She had long been greedy for the caravan managed by Xiaoqing, and she also wanted to grab some silver in her hand, but Xiaoqing served Cheng Ping'an very early, which was much heavier than Linglong's weight in Cheng Ping'an's heart.

Sure enough, she just picked up a few words, Cheng Ping'an not only believed it, but became angry with Xiaoqing and Hongfu, and Linglong cried even more bitterly when she saw it.

Cheng Ping'an appeased Linglong and asked the housekeeper to ask about some things, and called Feng Songxian's earlier companion to ask, it is true that Feng Songxian has been deducted too much for a long time, and some girls have seen Feng Songxian take the dowry out as silver.

Cheng Ping'an, the fire in his heart can't be suppressed.

Although he is not a good person, he has never thought of treating his wife harshly, he has also thought that all his women can be happy, and he has always thought that the women in his backyard are gentle and obedient like sisters, but now a bloody reality is peeled back to show him, Cheng Ping'an is greatly shocked, and he is full of righteous indignation.

He called Linglong and instructed: "According to the preparation of the Feng family's dowry list, if there is anything missing, take the silver to make up for it, and after it is ready, ask someone to send it to the Rongwei Hou Mansion." ”

Linglong was happy in her heart, and answered loudly and went to work.

Cheng Ping'an wanted to deal with Xiaoqing and Hongfu for a while, but he thought that these two people had been waiting by his side since he crossed into this world, and he was gentle and respectful and admired him, and he was a little reluctant to deal with it.

I was depressed for a while, so I rode out for a walk.

Unconsciously, Cheng Ping'an rode out of the city, looking at the beginning of summer, the beauty of green trees and red flowers couldn't help but broaden his mind, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.

He crossed the moat, but when he looked back, he was astonished, and at the same time his heart was terrified.

It turned out that there were a lot of wooden machines set up by the moat, and Cheng Ping'an took a closer look at the principle and turned out to be not much different from modern excavators, but they were simpler, and the operation was not as convenient as the excavator, but it was not ordinary people who came out of this kind of thing in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Cheng Ping'an thought too much for a while, and went over to ask a craftsman who was directing the dredging next to him: "Is this ...... Who built this machine? ”

The craftsman saw Cheng Ping'an at a glance but recognized it, and hurriedly came over to ask An to see the ceremony, Cheng Ping'an jumped off the horse and observed carefully, and smiled: "This machine is quite exquisite, if it is changed again, it can be used in many aspects, but this is not bad, it saves a lot of manpower and material resources." ”

The craftsman also smiled: "What Childe said is extreme, in previous years, I don't know how many people had to dig this silt, but now with this wood, we really save the boss's energy." ”

Cheng Ping'an asked again: "Do you know who made this?" ”

The craftsman smiled: "It was said that it was made by the Ministry of Works, but I saw the commander of the Jinyi Guard come over and changed a few places, I want to come, I can't say that it was his old man who came up with it, speaking of which, this commander is also strangely tight, others say that he is the most vicious, but I see that although he is colder, he is the most hard-faced and soft-hearted, and he treats us craftsmen well......"

Cheng Ping'an didn't care about listening to the craftsman's praise, and there was only one sentence left in his heart, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the commander......

He was horrified, this commander was not the same person who went to the cemetery to dig his mother's tomb before, that person's martial arts were extremely high, and he kicked him far away.

Speaking of which, Cheng Ping'an is also a little confident in his skills, and he is nothing in front of that person.

He thought about it again, Emperor Qingfeng attached great importance to this commander, couldn't it...... Isn't this person also a cross-over like him? Otherwise, how can he explain that he was able to create such a ingenious thing?

The more Cheng Ping'an thought about it, the more flustered he became, and he didn't care about talking to the craftsman for a while, so he jumped on the horse and left.

He was flustered because of the six gods, and when he rode a horse, he didn't have any sense of proportion, and he entered the city in an instant, and he didn't want to knock down a woman holding a child for a while, and the woman who hit it took three or four children out of her arms, Cheng Ping'an saw it and quickly jumped off the horse to apologize, helped the woman up, and hugged the crying child and sent it to the woman's arms with a smile: "There is a medical hall not far from here, it is better for this lady to take your son to the diagnosis and treatment, if there is anything, someone will compensate according to the price." ”

The woman didn't know why her face was a little bad, she kept avoiding Cheng Ping'an, holding the child far away from Cheng Ping'an and said, "No need, no need, the slave family is nothing." ”

After speaking, I was about to leave with the child in my arms.

Cheng Ping'an hurriedly stopped: "It's better to go and see, Cheng is not an unreasonable person, even if he bumps into people, he has to bear the responsibilities that people should naturally bear." ”

The woman was a little angry when she saw that she couldn't dodge, and looked up at Cheng Ping'an and scolded angrily: "You son is so unreasonable, I said that I had nothing to do and stopped me from doing anything, I am busy at home, you quickly get out of the way." ”

Cheng Ping'an was scolded, although he felt uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything when he thought that he was wrong, and gave way to the woman.

While muttering to himself that the woman did not know the good heart, he mounted his horse and wondered when he would find a time to test the commander and see what his origin was.

This is just a small episode, Cheng Ping'an didn't take it to heart, but all this fell into the eyes of a person not far away.

On this day, Ji Songxian took the car back to Jinling City to buy some embroidery thread and help Wu carry some snacks in the city, and just entered the city gate and saw Cheng Ping'an beating a horse, Ji Songxian didn't want to pay attention to this person, so he asked Uncle Wu to stay away.

Later, Ji Songxian saw Cheng Ping'an hit someone, the woman's words and deeds were a little twisted, and although the child was crying, he was weak, obviously hungry and seemed to have been fed medicine.

Ji Songxian was shocked for a while, thought of a certain possibility, and immediately asked Uncle Wu to catch up with the woman.
