Chapter 350: The Price (Additional to the Outer Immortals)
"No!" Old Madam Guo glanced at Cheng Xu deeply, and said lightly, "I'm not asking you to beg Lord Zhou, I'm asking you to live a good life with the eldest lady of the Min family in the future!" ”
"Grandmother!" Cheng Xu shouted.
Mrs. Guo said: "If the Cheng and Xu families have not made up their minds, I may support you to find Lord Zhou, but now that the marriage between you and the eldest lady of the Min family has been decided, you regret the marriage, have you ever thought about the consequences?" ”
Cheng Xu couldn't help but mutter, "Haven't you made a decision yet?" ”
Old Madam Guo laughed and said, "I didn't make a decision." But you have already made the eight characters and made the dowry. According to the etiquette, if you are beaten to death at this time, the eldest lady of the Min family will either marry your tablet and watch over the widow in the Cheng family, or the father and brother will come forward to discuss with our Cheng family, and set a marriage letter for the eldest lady of the Min family, so that the eldest lady of the Min family can talk about another family matter, and if our Cheng family does not agree, then the young lady of the Min family will not be able to marry. Now that you know, do you still want to go to Lord Zhou? ”
Cheng Xu looked ashamed, although he didn't speak, but then he showed a bit of stubbornness.
Old Madam Guo knew that he had not given up, so she sighed in her heart and said, "If you must repent of your marriage, you will also become a ......."
Cheng Xu's eyes lit up again.
Mrs. Guo said: "The fourth master of the Min family has been the master of the Taifu Temple for six years, and he wants to be promoted to the Taifu Temple. And among the few people in our family who are officials in the court, your second uncle and grandfather even resigned from the sacrificial wine, and they must be unwilling to move places. Your second uncle may want to be released because of your father, and if he wants to be released, he must at least find a political envoy in a fortress place. Your second uncle Yuan in the fourth room is also a competitive person, born in the same jinshi, and now he is a county order. According to the meaning of the second uncle, it is best for your second uncle to seek the political envoy of Zhejiang or Fujian, the former is in charge of the richest place in the world, and the latter is far away from the emperor of the sky, and it is convenient to act. If your second uncle goes to Zhejiang, then find a way to transfer your second uncle Yuan to Huating or Songjiang; If your second uncle goes to Fujian, then transfer your second uncle Yuan to Zhoushan or Ningbo. In this way, your father has your second uncle as his arm strength, and your second uncle has your second uncle to echo each other, and he will be more handy in doing things.
"In a few years, you will be named on the gold list, and your uncle will have the qualifications to be released, and it will be difficult for the officials to use your father's entry into the cabinet as an excuse, how can you be a little Jiuqing.
"Then transfer your second uncle to Huguang or Dezhou as the prefect, and you will be a staff member in the sixth department, and the situation will slowly unfold.
"We understand this truth, and other families also understand it.
"The fifth master of the Min family has been in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years, and he is the heir of the year, and his qualifications are still above your second uncle. The Min family now has a champion Min Jianxing who works as an editor in the Hanlin Academy, and it makes no sense for the fifth master of the Min family to stay in the Hanlin Academy. Now he is also staring at the position of Zhejiang's political envoy.
"If you quit the Min family for no reason. The Min family will agree, but they will definitely propose to let us help the fifth master of the Min family to seek the position of political envoy in Zhejiang.
"At that time, if your second uncle fails to get the post of Fujian political envoy, your father will become very lonely in the court.
And the Min family, with the support of the Cheng family and the Yuan family, Zhejiang's political envoy is like picking up things, and there will be no suspense.
"In a few years, Min Jianxing will be released, and at least six will be in the middle of the matter. And the fifth master of the Min family has the qualifications to go out, so he can go back to Beijing to fight for Xiao Jiuqing.
"One trades off the other. Our Cheng family is only afraid that we will be pressed on the head by the Min family at that time.
"Jiashan, do you still want to quit the Min family?"
Cheng Xu's eyes showed a sense of struggle.
Old Madam Guo continued: "You may say that Song Jingran, the prime minister, came from a humble background, didn't he also become a scholar of Dongge University and a scholar of the household department? That's a good point. You may also bow to the prime minister, but Lord Song has made his father and brother sacrifice for him along the way? Have you ever conceded for him? Why should your father and uncle sacrifice for you and make concessions for you for your own selfish feelings? Are you worthy of the father who gave birth to you and raised you? You just became the first assistant one day, can you calmly face the ancestors and ancestors enshrined in the ancestral hall in front of you when you worship your ancestors? When you return home, can you calmly face those uncles and brothers who have placed infinite hopes on you? ”
A tear came from the corner of Cheng Xu's eyes.
After a long time, he snorted and said, "Grandmother, is there no other way?"
"Yes!" Mrs. Guo said, "You leave Jiuru Lane, you leave the Cheng family, and you are no longer a child of the Cheng family, you can go to Baoding Mansion to ask for a meeting with Lord Zhou......
"Grandmother!" Cheng Xu's eyes had a faint light again, and he said uncertainly, "But will Lord Zhou promise me?" ”
"I don't know!" Old Madam Guo's heart was cold, but her voice became more and more gentle, "You left the Cheng family, it is possible that Lord Zhou thinks that you can not only abandon the interests of the family, but also abandon her after marrying Shaojin......"
"No, I won't!" Cheng Xu stiffened his neck and shouted.
Mrs. Guo was unmoved, and said straightly, "I don't want to marry my daughter to you; You may feel that you gave up everything in order to marry Shao Jin, and you are a lover who married Shao Jin to you. Either way, it's your own decision, and you have to bear the consequences of your decision. So when you decide to break off the marriage contract with the Min family, you have to think clearly about yourself, do you regret leaving the Cheng family and failing to marry Shaojin? If you don't leave the Cheng family, it will definitely be impossible for you to marry Shaojin, are you willing to ......"
"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!" Cheng Xu said in a low voice.
Old Madam Guo stared at Cheng Xu for a moment, and said softly: "Look at you, the left is not good, and the right is not good." I want to be the uncle of your Jiuru Lane Cheng family, and I want to marry Zhou Shaojin, a Ruyi girl, but how can there be anything perfect in this world? You didn't fight for yourself before, and now you are unwilling to get yourself to this field.
"Jiashan, this is actually what we often call cowardice! You don't dare to fight for what you want, and you don't want to bear the consequences when you regret it. Like you, even if your home has paved a golden road for you, you will be reluctant to walk, and you will end up being squeezed down by those who are begging for it. ”
Cheng Xu looked at Mrs. Guo in astonishment.
Old Madam Guo said calmly: "Jiashan, you are recuperating from your injuries and preparing to marry the eldest lady of the Min family!" Some opportunities are lost, and they are lost forever. You just have to remember that your father and uncle owe you nothing and are not obligated to bear the consequences of your willfulness for you. You are responsible for what you do, don't drag others into the water. ”
Cheng Xu's eyes slowly dimmed.
Old Madam Guo turned around and left the bed, and called Jasper and Jade in: "You don't have to do anything in the past two days, just serve the uncle well." When the uncle's injuries are almost healed, you should also get out of the cabinet. When the time comes, I will have a reward. ”
The two of them curtsied and saluted in unison, saying, "Don't dare to be an old lady." This was supposed to be what slaves were supposed to do. ”
Mrs. Guo nodded and went to the study next to her.
"Some opportunities are lost, they are lost forever!"
"Your father and uncle don't owe you anything, and they are not obliged to bear the consequences of your willfulness for you!"
"It's possible that Lord Zhou thinks that you can not only abandon the interests of the family, but also abandon her after marrying Shaojin, and are unwilling to marry your daughter to you!"
"Maybe you feel that you gave up everything in order to marry Shaojin, you are a lover and married Shaojin to you!"
……
Cheng Xu's mind was chaotic, echoing from time to time what Mrs. Guo said.
In the flower hall, Wu Baozhang stood in the center of the hall and replied to Cheng Chi's words: "I thought that my sister-in-law had just entered the door, and it happened that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, and there were only two young ladies in the house, Sister Congmei and Miss Zhou's second cousin. Who knew that when she entered the cave she found ......" her face was flushed, and she looked too ashamed to speak.
Cheng Chi didn't seem to know what she was afraid of, and said gently: "What did you see?" Everyone here is a family member, so you might as well say it directly! ”
An attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the end.
Wu Baozhang couldn't help but slander in his heart.
Aren't you afraid that I will say something unfavorable to Cheng Xu?
But when she saw Cheng Chi's calm face, which seemed to be confident, her heart beat again.
One thing that the time, place and people are favorable, Cheng Lu thought that he would be nine out of ten, but the result was still beyond their expectations...... Who knows what's wrong?
It can be seen that the second room and the third room are good, but in fact, there is no ability to control the scene at this time!
Although she wanted to see Zhou Shaojin's jokes, she had no intention of putting herself in.
"I saw Ji Ying beating Uncle Xu!" After just a few breaths, Wu Baozhang decided his position, honestly, and behavedly, "Uncle Xu barely fought back a few times, and he was beaten to the ground by Ji Ying, moaning and groaning without movement. As if he was still angry, he kicked Uncle Xu a few more times before stopping. ”
Cheng Zhi and the others were in an uproar.
Cheng Chi asked Wu Baozhang as if he hadn't heard, "What are the second Miss Zhou family doing with her and the maid she carryed?" ”
Wu Baozhang said reluctantly: "The Spring Festival Gala is in front of Miss Zhou Jiaer, standing aside to watch Jiying beat Uncle Xu." ”
Cheng Chi said: "The Spring Festival Gala is in front of Miss Zhou Jiaer, is it to protect Miss Zhou Jiaer with open arms?" Or is it holding the shoulders of Miss Zhou Jiaer? ”
If Zhou Shaojin was slighted by Cheng Xu, the Spring Festival Gala should be open arms to protect Miss Zhou Jiaer, right?
Wu Baozhang said: "It's the second Miss Zhou family with open arms." ”
Cheng Chi said: "You go to the ear room next to you for the time being." ”
Wu Baozhang made a blessing and retreated.
Cheng Zhi thought that Cheng Chi would interrogate Huanxi and Dasu beside Cheng Xu, but who knew that Cheng Xu called the Spring Festival Gala in, and then told what Wu Baozhang said to the Spring Festival Gala, and finally asked: "Why do you want to protect the second miss of the Zhou family with open arms?" ”
She was trembling and hugging the second miss at that time, and she didn't open her arms to protect the second miss of the Zhou family!
The Spring Festival Gala was a little dazed.
But she thought of what Mama Shang said to her on the road when she called her from Hanbi Mountain House just now, and she immediately said: "There are no eyes in her fists and feet, I am afraid that Miss Jiying and Uncle Xu will fight and injure the second lady of our family by mistake!" ”
