Cheng Yu patiently listened to his mother's chatter for a long time, and agreed to let the maid send a bowl of lotus seed soup over, and then sent his mother away.

He sat quietly under the verandah alone, looking at the pomegranate tree in the patio that his father had planted with his own hands and had flourished, and sneered repeatedly.

He was afraid that he had said the wrong thing unintentionally, and he was afraid that someone had ulterior motives to spread the word, but in fact, he had already decided that he had said it, and threatened that if he said it, it would be detrimental to him if it reached the ears of his teacher...... The partial mother didn't even say a word to defend him, and handed over all the rights to dispose of this matter to the Yuan family...... It's stupid...... I don't even know how to describe it...... Never brained...... How could he have such a mother!

He thought of Yuan.

The posture is beautiful, the manners are generous, the eight sides are exquisite, and the long sleeves are good at dancing...... Compared with him, Cheng Xu is just more reincarnated than him......

His expression suddenly became gloomy.

Zhao Dahai, who was wearing a green cloth short brown and a dark cloth belt around his waist, walked in.

He is in his twenties, not tall, but very strong, with a Chinese face, purple-red skin, looking like a man on a grange, honest and honest.

"Uncle!" He respectfully saluted Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yan bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Talking in the study." ”

Zhao Dahai silently followed Cheng Lu into the study.

Cheng Yan pointed to the Taishi chair opposite him and said, "It's been hard along the way, sit down!" ”

Zhao Dahai thanked him, but he didn't dare to sit down, took the tea held by the maid and drank it in one go, and when he saw the maid retreating, he said in a low voice: "I have inquired about everything you asked me to inquire about." Uncle Xu was sent to Hangzhou Mansion by Mrs. Yuan, saying that he wanted to pay homage to his mentor. Uncle Zhi has been spending all his time in the flower line except for participating in a poetry meeting with his classmates in the past few days. Listening to the guy in the flower shop, Uncle Zhi seems to be holding a chrysanthemum appreciation party at home, and he is shopping for those precious chrysanthemum varieties on the street.

"Uncle Zheng went to the Guangdong Hall a few times, had two meals with the second master of the Thirteen Lines of Guangdong, drank flower wine once, and listened to the servant who said that it seemed that the third room wanted to do business at sea with the people of the Thirteen Lines, but in the end it was negotiated or not, and the small one did not inquire. I'd like to visit the three-room pharmacy in a few days. If Uncle Zheng wants to do maritime business with the people of the Thirteen Lines, he will have to get at least 50,000 taels of silver for one share. This is not a small amount, I estimate that I will take money from the pharmacy, as long as I keep an eye on a few pharmacy, I can know whether Uncle Zheng's business has become or not.

"Since the last time Uncle Huan and Second Master Yi went to the water, they have hardly come out except for going to the bookstore to buy books or going to Wende Pavilion to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

"Uncle Nuo is still the same as before, and he is often instigated by Uncle Ju to go to Ji's house near the Qinhuai River to gamble for money." Speaking of this, he paused slightly and said, "There is one more thing, the one that the fifth master raised outside, gave birth to a son yesterday, and the fifth master still pressed it and didn't make people squeak." ”

"Oh!" Cheng Lu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It seems that Jiuru Lane is lively again." ”

Zhao Dahai also laughed.

Cheng Lu instructed him: "You should watch the affairs of the third room carefully." As soon as there is news, come and sue me. He said to himself, "Chi Si opened Yutai's silver back then, which was to earn money by doing maritime trade with the Thirteen Lines, and it seems that Cheng Zheng wants to learn from Chi Si." ”

Zhao Dahai had no way to judge and was not easy to answer.

Cheng Lu personally refilled his cup.

Zhao Dahai hurriedly bent down and thanked him.

Cheng Lu motioned for him to sit down and speak again.

He sat in half of his chair.

Cheng Zhen changed the topic: "Can you find out when Zhou Zhen will come back?" ”

Zhao Dahai thought about it and said uncertainly: "Try the small one." ”

Cheng Yu sighed, his expression a little depressed.

Zhao Dahai was bold and said, "Master, is it the second miss of the Zhou family...... there?"

Cheng Lu was silent.

Seeing that he didn't stop talking about this topic, Zhao Dahai asked with concern: "Master, do you really want to give up the second miss of the Zhou family to Cheng Xu?" Now Zhou Zhen has been transferred to Baoding as the prefect...... Even if he can find someone with the same background as Miss Zhou's second miss, he may not have the temperament of Miss Zhou's second miss; has a good temperament, but may not have a good background like Miss Zhou Jiaer......"

In this family, the one who can talk to Cheng Xu and can reassure him is Zhao Dahai.

Cheng Xu was very depressed in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little conniving at Zhao Dahai, and said: "Do you think that if I don't give Zhou Shaojin to Cheng Xu, I will be able to marry Zhou Shaojin?" You dream about it! He would never marry Miss Zhou Jiaer to me. Zhou Shaojin can find out what happened back then, let alone him. If I hadn't bought the house next door, I might have been able to be sloppy in front of him, but now that the house is in my name, I can't say anything about it if I don't know what happened back then...... But even if this is the case, she Zhou Shaojin doesn't want to have a good life.

The Yuan family would not agree to Cheng Xu marrying Zhou Shaojin, but Cheng Xu was always affectionate to Zhou Shaojin. Zhou Shaojin will definitely accompany her sister to continue to live in the Cheng family before the eldest lady of the Zhou family leaves the cabinet. As long as Cheng Xu's name is connected with Zhou Shaojin, Zhou Shaojin wants to get rid of the reputation of 'giving and receiving privately' with Cheng Xu, and with Cheng Xu's eyes closed, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

"If Cheng Zhi and Cheng Zheng do something at this time, it will be interesting!

"But that's all for later.

"I'm worried about Zhou Zhen now. He is a scholar, but he can make the loser of the dealer no longer dare to trouble him, but he is afraid that he is not a simple character. Cheng Xu can't see my intentions, Chi Siye doesn't care about this, Zhou Shaojin is Zhou Zhen's daughter, if he has a heart, he will definitely be able to see it......" Speaking of this, Zhou Shaojin's delicate and moving face appeared in his mind.

How good would it be if she wasn't Zhuang Liangyu's daughter...... No, even if she is Zhuang Liangyu's daughter and doesn't have the same face as Zhuang Liangyu, he may still be able to pretend not to know...... married her back vigorously, like Zhou Zhen treated Zhuang Liangyu, and spoiled her like a jewel...... But now, whenever he sees that face, he thinks of Zhuang Liangyu.

Thinking of the small portrait in my father's treasured study, and remembering that year I followed my father to Ganquan Temple to offer incense, my father pointed to the graceful beauty from a distance and asked him, "Is she good to be your mother......?" I remembered my father's bitter and desperate expression before he died......

He closed his eyes.

There was no turning back from the bow.

Since he met Zhou Shaojin by chance two years ago, he has no way out.

Cheng Yu instructed Zhao Dahai: "Those families, you go to send some rice and grain, if they ask, say that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, let them go out less, and ask someone to ask about the things of the year, don't talk nonsense." ”

Zhao Dahai said respectfully.

Cheng Lu asked, "The beggar?" ”

"It's been decided." Zhao Dahai hurriedly said, "I pretended to be a helper to send a letter to that family, and I pretended to extort two hundred taels of silver from that family, and that family was not suspicious at all." You can rest assured. ”

Cheng bowed his head, sent Zhao Dahai away, and knelt in front of his father's portrait.

"Dad, don't worry, I won't let your suffering be in vain. can only hate Zhou Zhen rather be a cuckold than shake out the events of the year. He looked at his father's smiling face and muttered, "I can't find Zhuang Liangyu, but I can find Zhou Shaojin." I want Zhuang Liangyu to live in Huangquan, and I want to make Zhou Zhen regret marrying Zhuang Liangyu in the first place......"

He gritted his teeth, and the eerie voice fell back into the small ear room.

※

Zhou Shaojin also got the news that Cheng Xu went to Hangzhou to pay homage to her teacher, and she couldn't help but chant "Amitabha Buddha" in her heart.

It seems that it is still effective to find Yuan.

Within two days, Cheng Huan came over and quietly told her: "The ancestor of the second room said that the atmosphere in the clan study is not good, and the scholars are not interested in the upward trend and study hard, but they care about some things in the inner house compound, and call Yi Sanbo to reprimand him, so that when he is free, he should always play with people, and since he has taken over the family studies, he should take care of the affairs of the clan studies." ”

Zhou Shaojin.

Who knew that Cheng Huan didn't say this for two days, and another incident happened in Cheng's clan studies.

In view of the bad learning style in the Cheng clan, Changfang decided to subsidize 2,000 taels of silver in the clan study, and selected ten students with talents and fame to study in Yuelu Academy, one of the four major academies, for two years on a two-year tour recommended by the teacher of the clan study.

The average cost of two hundred taels of silver per person.

Not to mention going to Yuelu Academy to study, you can buy a small courtyard in the inner city of Jinling City.

The students of the Cheng clan were all eager to try, and wherever they went in Jiuru Alley, they could hear the servants discussing this matter.

Cheng Lu's face turned pale.

He knew that nine times out of ten, this matter was directed at him.

The bottom of the kettle is drawn.

I just don't know if this is the idea of the fourth master of Chi or the idea of the Yuan family? Even if it was the idea of the fourth master of Chi, if there was no Yuan family to maneuver around, the fourth master of Chi would take care of these trivial matters?

Cheng Lu did not sign up, but his name still appeared on the big red paper in the shadow of the clan wall.

The people in the ethnography congratulated him either sincerely or jealously.

He smiled decently and answered one by one, but his heart was blowing like a hurricane.

Yuan, Cheng Xu, you wait!

Cheng Zhen went home to pack his luggage.

Dong cried like a tearful man, took his son's hand and asked, "Can you not go?" ”

"No way!" Cheng Lu said softly, "I will offend Changfang." ”

When Dong heard this, he became even more sad, and cried Cheng Bai: "Why are you willing to leave our mother and son behind." If you're here, how can I be a showman and still look at people's faces......"

Cheng Zhen looked at his mother who was throwing herself on the bed, and only felt very annoyed.

Just know to cry!

If crying helps, he will cry more sadly than she does.

My father always wanted to try to show Zhuang Liangyu and make Zhuang Liangyu regret it, but before his father's goal was achieved, Zhuang Liangyu died. My father had no business, so he naturally went...... Mother, it's so stupid that I don't even know what the person next to me is thinking...... But my mother is right, if my father is here, they have a house and property, why should he look at Jiu Ruxiang's face...... If there is something wrong with him, naturally his father will come forward...... Father will protect him like an eagle!

He thought of his father's broad back and warm hands, and Cheng Lu's vision gradually became blurred......
