Lotus Bridge north of the water and build a new house, this is a big house with about five entrances, just look at the foundation to know the scale of the house, the design of the exquisite.

Cheng Ping'an rode a horse and wandered in front of the new house for a while before jumping off the horse with a wooden face and walking in.

He didn't go far when he went in, and he met Princess Jinyang, Princess Jinyang's smile was like a flower, making an already good-looking face even better, and she saw Cheng Ping'an's smile even brighter: "Chenglang, you are here." ”

Cheng Ping'an didn't have any joy on his face, he just nodded: "I don't know why the princess summoned me?" ”

That's it, Princess Jinyang's smile did not decrease, and walked over and stood side by side with Cheng Ping'an, pointing to the mansion under construction and smiling: "You can see that you are satisfied, if you feel bad, I will ask the craftsman to change it quickly, this is the princess's mansion built by the queen mother for our wedding, and it will be our home in the future, I think not only I am satisfied, but you also feel good." ”

Princess Jinyang spoke with infinite joy, fantasizing about a better life in the future.

But the more Cheng Ping'an listened, the more ugly his face became: "Princess, what do you mean?" Do you mean you want me to live here after I get married? ”

Princess Jinyang was only happy, but she didn't notice Cheng Ping'an's face, and nodded: "Yes, it's been like this since then, Cheng Lang, how about you take a good look with me?" ”

"Forgive me for offending." Cheng Ping'an immediately pulled down his face and flicked his sleeves to leave.

"Chenglang, Chenglang." Princess Jinyang was completely anxious, and chased after her: "What's wrong with Chenglang?" Don't you think this house is bad? Not spacious enough, not gorgeous enough? I can ask someone to change it, I will find the emperor's brother and ask him to allocate some more money, and he will definitely build a beautiful princess's mansion. ”

Cheng Ping'an walked more urgently, and Princess Jinyang trotted all the way to catch up: "What happened to Cheng Lang?" ”

"This is the Princess's Mansion, not my home." Cheng Ping'an stood still violently, Princess Jinyang might as well almost fall down for a while, Cheng Ping'an did not reach out to help her, but sneered at herself: "Who does the princess think of me?" I am not one of those incompetent people who rely on the princess to get glory and wealth, and if the princess treats me as a little white face and tells me to leave home and follow the princess's call, it is a wrong idea. ”

The smile on Princess Jinyang's face was finally gone, she was a little timid, lowered her head and whispered: "I, I didn't mean that, I respect you in my heart, and I know that you are a manly husband......"

"In that case, why should the princess humiliate me?" Cheng Ping'an sneered: "My marriage with the princess is not what I begged for, and I am not the kind of person who climbs the power and attaches the nobles, this princess's mansion, I don't live, the princess wants to marry me, she should read the four books of women, understand what are the three from the four virtues, learn to be chaste and virtuous, in addition, after getting married, the princess should also live in the Chengguo Mansion to help manage the back house and serve the elders, if you can't do this, forgive me for not obeying my fate." ”

After saying these words, Cheng Ping'an ignored Princess Jinyang, threw up his sleeves and strode away.

Princess Jinyang stood there for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses, she was stunned for a while before she wiped her face, wiped the wetness off her face, gritted her teeth, clapped her hands and called out the palace people who were hiding on the side and went back to the palace.

But it was said that Cheng Ping'an left the princess's mansion under construction, rode a horse and walked a street, and the anger in his heart also dissipated, and he saw the Linglong Pavilion not far away, because he remembered that he had asked the craftsman to make some new jewelry a few days ago, and he didn't know how the sales were, so he wanted to go over and investigate.

Before the horse was approaching, Cheng Ping'an was about to dismount, when he saw a somewhat familiar woman passing in front of him.

The woman obviously knew him, and when she saw him dismount, she smiled and came over to salute: "I've seen Cheng Gongzi." ”

"I don't know who this girl is?" Cheng Ping'an also wore it until ancient times to know that in ancient times, Miss did not refer to everyone's ladies, but to the Qinglou woman, so he would not spit out the word Miss no matter what.

The woman got up and laughed again: "You don't know me, speaking of which, I have to call you uncle." ”

"Are you ......" Cheng Ping'an looked carefully several times before he found that this woman was very similar to his deceased wife Feng's eyebrows: "Feng's? ”

"Yes." Although the woman is very similar to Feng's, she only describes her as more delicate and lively: "I am Feng Rongrong, the granddaughter of the head of the Feng family." ”

Cheng Ping'an saw the jewelry box in Feng Rongrong's hand at this time and asked, "Are you here to buy jewelry?" ”

Feng Rongrong lowered her head a little ashamedly, and whispered: "Exactly, only my monthly money is limited, and I saved some silver after saving up for a while, I thought I could buy one or two pieces of similar jewelry, but I didn't think that the jewelry of Linglong Pavilion was so valuable, and those good ones had already been ordered, and I could only pick up one or two pieces that others didn't look down on." ”

Hearing her say this, Cheng Ping'an looked at Feng Rongrong, and saw that although she was beautiful, the style of clothes she wore was a little old, and the clothes were already out of fashion in Jinling, so he knew that her situation was bound to be not good.

At this time, Cheng Ping'an thought of Feng's come, because he thought that this was Feng's niece, how to say that it was his niece, so he smiled and said: "Coincidentally, this Linglong Pavilion is my property, that is, if you like the jewelry here, I will explain to the shopkeeper, what is good in it as long as no one orders it, you can choose it." ”

While speaking, Cheng Ping'an was about to take Feng Rongrong in, Feng Rongrong was startled, and hurriedly excused herself: "This can't be done, this can't be done, what has become of me, as if I am taking advantage of this......"

"What's this?" Cheng Ping'an smiled: "No matter how you say it, you can be regarded as my niece, after all, call me uncle, it should be regarded as a meeting gift from my uncle." ”

In this way, Feng Rongrong did not hesitate to follow Cheng Ping'an into the Linglong Pavilion, and saw that he summoned the shopkeeper to ask about the profitability of the past few months, and asked the shopkeeper to bring the most fashionable pieces of jewelry to Feng Rongrong to choose.

But for a while, there was a woman wearing a small gauze jacket with a well-fitting dense four doors, and a woman in a skirt with white embroidered branches and flowers came in with a tray, put the tray away, smiled at Cheng Ping'an, and said to Feng Rongrong: "This is the latest headdress from our Linglong Pavilion, and the girl is picking it." ”

After saying that, he was blessed and went out.

Feng Rongrong saw that the woman's makeup was very beautiful, and her figure was even better, and she was a little envious.

She is also willing to be fashionable, but the Feng family is very strict, such as catching up with the skirt and the grandmother of the family only said that it was worn by prostitutes, and it was not called wearing it at all, but only wearing the most ordinary eight-panel skirt.

Sighing, Feng Rongrong sat down to choose jewelry, and said to Cheng Ping'an while choosing: "I have heard people often mention my uncle since I was sensible, and I always said that my uncle is a rare great man in this world, and I admire it very much, I only hate that I am a boudoir girl, I can't show my face, and I can't see my uncle to see how heroic my uncle is...... Excellent indeed. ”

After she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed with shame, and she lowered her head and took a phoenix hairpin and said in a low voice: "Uncle's hairpin head phoenix is very good, I read it and thought about how many lovers can write such words, this, I took this hairpin cheekily." ”

Cheng Ping'an saw her such a delicate daughter and felt that his heart was hot, and he listened to her praise like that, and there was a lot of admiration and dependence in his words, and her beautiful and amorous daughter was not favored in the Feng family, and she was afraid that she would be cheap, so she felt pity: "Take it, you called my uncle, from now on I will cover you, if you want anything, just come to Linglong Pavilion to get it, here in addition to jewelry and the rouge gouache commonly used by the daughter's family, there are many exquisite objects, such as such ingenious glass products, It's all your own property, and it's not worth anything, but you can be happy, and you don't care how much your uncle takes. ”

Feng Rongrong hurriedly stood up and thanked her: "Then I will thank my uncle." ”

She sat down again, her eyes were slightly red: "Uncle is such a good person, poor my aunt is the most unblessed, she went early, and she didn't even leave her uncle behind, I ...... In the early years, I was most envious of my aunt, I could marry my uncle like this, but unfortunately I was the most uncontrollable at home, and now I am more than a year older, and I don't know what kind of family my grandmother will choose with me, I don't want to be rich, as long as people are not stupid, I am afraid that my grandmother will not like me, if I choose a fool, or scold the women in the family, I might as well go clean. ”

Speaking of this, she was stunned, and she didn't choose jewelry anymore, but there were many tears rolling down her eyes.

Cheng Ping'an felt that his heart was crumpled when he saw it, and it was very uncomfortable to be sour and sour, so he involuntarily shook Feng Rongrong's hand and persuaded: "Don't be afraid, your uncle will be the master of you in the future, if your mother-in-law treats you badly, you will ask someone to pass on the message to me, and I will reason with her, and I will not let you be ruined." ”

"Uncle......"

Feng Rongrong seemed to have found support, and cried and leaned on Cheng Ping'an's body and cried bitterly: "You are the first one to be so good to me, others look down on my background, always say that I am raised by a little woman, and I am the most unpopular at home, no one will worry about me if there is anything good, saying that I am a little childish, but if anyone causes trouble, just push it on me......"

The more Feng Rongrong cried, the more painful it became, and in the end, she couldn't cry.

The pear blossoms she cried brought rain, and Cheng Ping'an's heart was even more painful, and she hugged Feng Rongrong and whispered to comfort: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my uncle will hurt you in the future." ”

"I only hate, I just hate not being born in a family like my uncle." Feng Rongrong sobbed quietly: "If my uncle and I were a family, I would not be afraid of anything." ”

She cried for a while, and after crying, she was a little embarrassed, wiped her tears and said to Cheng Ping'an: "I...... It's a joke for you. ”

After speaking, he took a jade bracelet at random and put it on, then got up and said goodbye: "It's not too early, I'll go." ”

Wait until Feng Rongrong walked to the door and turned around and smiled at Cheng Ping'an: "Uncle, I am willing to cry with you like this in my life, I am afraid that I will not see you again after I go back, you must take care of yourself, I ...... I'm going. ”

She stumbled out, Cheng Ping'an was stunned, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Feng Rongrong's words were very interesting, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.

After waiting for a while, Cheng Ping'an went out, called the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion and asked, "Then the little lady of the Feng family often comes?" ”

The shopkeeper thought for a while and called a woman who sold jewelry to ask, and the woman recalled for a long time before she said to Cheng Ping'an: "Back to your words, the slave remembers this little lady, she likes the jewelry of Linglong Pavilion the most, but the family background should not be very good, and there is no money left on hand, so she often comes, but one of the ten times to buy such a defective jewelry is already very good, a few days ago she came to pick out jewelry, and heard her girl say that it seems that her mother is giving her a kiss, as if the other party is not very good, she is not very willing, But he couldn't resist his parents at home. ”
