Chapter 31 Investigation, Who is Behind the Scenes (5)
"Say hello to my mother." Cheng Yuyao hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at the main courtyard where Cheng Zhang's family lived before the hour. Although I wasn't late, I was a little out of breath because of the fast walk.
Cheng Zhang naturally saw that Cheng Yuyao's breathing was a little short, and then looked at the hourglass quietly, and he understood why this was happening. The housewife wants to take care of the concubines below, even if there is no excuse to find one, two, three. What's more, this kind of opportunity for the opponent to take the initiative to send the mistake to the front, if you don't take the opportunity to teach a lesson, is it worthy of yourself? So......
Cheng Zhang directly ignored Cheng Yuyao and turned his gaze to the third aunt.
"It's August 15, and I don't know how my sister's family dinner is going?"
The third aunt hurriedly got up and responded, "It's almost ready." β
"Really? My sister helps me manage the backyard chores, and I can't forget to take care of Yao Ya. If it's really too busy......" Cheng Zhang said slowly.
The third aunt pursed her lips, how could there be anything that Cheng Zhang's meaning couldn't understand. This is forcing her to choose between the management of Cheng Mansion and her baby daughter. The third aunt just wanted to speak, but she didn't want to be robbed by Cheng Zhang's family.
Cheng Zhang first self-examined, saying that he was not in good health, so he handed over the work of managing the trivial affairs of the Cheng Mansion to your third aunt. Again, he mentioned the fact that in half a month, Bailu Academy will open. Cheng Zhang's smiled and walked around the bend, telling the third aunt and all the aunts here, Cheng Qingye, the common husband of the big guys, Cheng Qingye, who is a family member of Cheng Mansion, and expressed great joy that Cheng Mansion is about to have two girls going to school in Bailu Academy, of course, she is also very happy to be the mother of Cheng Mansion.
However, it is one thing to be happy, and it is another to be worried. After all, it's not a trivial matter to go out to study, especially if you go to a high-level institution like Bailu Academy. The words and deeds of the girls in this house represent the faΓ§ade of Cheng's house. Although it is in a small place in Yuezhou, the Cheng Mansion is just the residence of an imperial businessman, but after all, it is of the same origin as the old mansion of Cheng Pavilion in the capital. So...... The girl in the house, how to toss at home, how can there be no rules, it seems that Cheng Mansion is pampered and happy by the family, and it will pass with one eye closed, anyway, outsiders don't know behind closed doors, but how to go out has to follow the rules.
Cheng Zhang's rarely said a lot of words in one breath, and seeing that the third aunt and Cheng Yuyao had successfully changed their faces, they felt a lot more happy in their hearts.
Cheng Yuyao is not stupid, Cheng Zhang's words almost pointed to her nose and pointed out her name directly. Now that you understand it, how can you not be angry. No, after all, Yu Yao is not really just an eight-year-old yellow-mouthed child, and in her immature little body is a modern person who lives more than a thousand years later.
Cheng Yuyao blinked, and after a while, her big watery eyes became more and more watery. Cheng Yuyao bit her lip aggrievedly: "Mother, no, don't blame my aunt...... Yes, Yao'er is lazy. It's none of my aunt's business. β
To say that Cheng Zhang's is a straightforward person, he likes to go down to the two holes with a knife, and the way Fang Cai talks in circles is also a new skill that his daughter Cheng Yuyan learned after mentioning it to Mama Zhang several times. Looking at Cheng Yuyan's little face where she was aggrieved and sobbing quietly, Cheng Zhang's almost broke the score.
Fortunately, Cheng Yuyan fell from the sky at this time like the salvation Guanyin.
"Yo, what's wrong with the second sister? Why did you suddenly cry your nose? It's August 15, a good day for the family to reunite and celebrate the holiday together. If you let your father see it, you'll be angry. As soon as Cheng Yuyan entered the door, she took the lead in bowing down to Cheng Zhang's family, "Yan'er has seen her mother." β
"Ah, Yan'er is here?"
"Mother, breakfast is ready."
"You girl, now is the time to grow your body, and you won't sleep much." Cheng Zhang's naturally received the look thrown by his baby daughter, and said very cooperatively, "The work of preparing breakfast has its own maids. β
"Now Yan'er goes to bed early every night before midnight and sleeps for at least four hours. If you sleep for too long, you will feel back pain, not to mention that it is not good for your body. It's better to get up and prepare breakfast for your mother, which can be regarded as fulfilling your daughter's filial piety. Cheng Yuyan turned her head with a smile and glanced at it, "The second sister is young, so it's natural for her to be snooze." Mother, don't blame the second sister, okay? β
"Look at what Yan'er said. I just mentioned that in half a month, the two of you will go to Bailu Academy to study. It's not as free outside as it is at home. I never blamed the second girl for coming over every morning to say goodbye. β
Not really. But Cheng Zhang's and Cheng Yuyan's mother and daughter sang and harmonized, but they also unconsciously put a lazy and unfilial hat on Cheng Yuyao. Cheng Yuyao is indeed younger than Cheng Yuyan, but she is only half a year younger. Children snooze, so they should rest early that night. As a result, you don't sleep at night, and you can get up in the morning to hell. And when she is a daughter, she would rather sleep lazily than get up early to say goodbye to her mother-in-law, which is a matter of conduct.
Although Cheng Yuyao had already noticed that there was a problem with what Cheng Zhang said to Sister Yan, she still couldn't recall what was wrong at the first time. On the contrary, the third aunt came back to her senses all of a sudden, and knelt directly on the ground with a poof.
"Madam, it's none of the business of the second young lady. It's a slave maid, who is busy preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet these days, and neglects the daily care of the second lady. β
"This is ...... with my aunt"
Cheng Yuyan didn't want to give Cheng Yuyao a chance to speak at all.
"Mother, the third aunt not only has to take care of her father every day, but also has to take care of her second sister, and she has to be busy managing the trivial things in the backyard. It's better to ......" Cheng Yuyan paused slightly, and the already silent hall became quieter and quieter, and almost everyone's eyes looked at Cheng Yuyan.
If you want to say that these three aunts, the biggest problem is greed. The guardianship of her daughter Cheng Yuyao is naturally reluctant to let go. Although Cheng Yuyao is only a daughter, in this huge Cheng Mansion, the third aunt successfully gave birth to a daughter. On the premise of not having a son, Cheng Yuyao is undoubtedly the lifeblood of the third aunt. Husband, that is, Cheng Qingye, the third aunt is even more reluctant to let go. This not only means that the status and glory in the Cheng Mansion are also wealthy, but the third aunt is also worried about wanting to have another son. If there is no Cheng Qingye's cooperation, it will be even more hopeless. After all, the third aunt is not the Virgin Mary, and can reproduce offspring in a single cell. As for the rights, if Cheng Zhang's family had not lost the management of the Cheng Mansion to the third aunt because of anger, and the third aunt had never been tainted with power, perhaps among these three choices, she would not hesitate to give up the management rights. Right now...... Once this ambition is activated, it is not so easy to stop. What's more, the third aunt only had a small part of the authority before.
So...... The daughter's husband still has the right, no matter which one is abandoned, for the third aunt, it is a heartache. Cheng Yuyan is very clear about this. So she only built yì to share a part, not to take it outright. There's no way, the rabbit will bite when it's in a hurry, if she makes a ruthless move all of a sudden, it won't be fun to force the third aunt to be anxious, and it's not conducive to her watching a good show.
"It's better to let the other aunts help share it."
"Oh?" Cheng Zhangshi raised his eyebrows, "Then what is there to build Yan'er?" β
"Where do I know that?" Cheng Yuyan pouted and saw the cold figure. Cheng Zhangshi followed Cheng Yuyan's gaze and understood.
"I remember that Aunt Nine was originally the eldest girl in Yilan Garden, and I want to know more about you and the second girl's temperament. It's better to let Aunt Nine help you for a while. β
The third aunt was originally very defensive against Aunt Jiu, but when she heard Cheng Zhang's proposal like this, an inquiring gaze stayed on Aunt Jiu. Aunt Jiu, who was hanging her head and thinking about her thoughts, didn't expect that this wind of wife and concubine fighting would blow on her, and looked up at Cheng Zhang's in surprise: "Madam, slave, slave maid......"
"Alright, so be it." Cheng Zhang's didn't bother to bother to talk any more, Fang Cai's nonsense had already cost her a lot of energy, making her a little dry, so she quickly picked up the tea cup at hand, hinting that all the aunts present could get out.
The aunts saw that Cheng Zhang had already picked up the teacup, so they had to salute obediently, and then left the main courtyard.
"Moxiang, you stay for a while. Come with me for breakfast. Just as the second aunt got up and was about to leave, Cheng Zhang stopped her.
