In Yunzhen Hall, there is tension.

Yuan and Cheng Xu sat facing each other.

Cheng Xu's eyes widened, and he said unwillingly: "Why can the marriage of the eldest sister and the second sister be decided by themselves, but I can't?" ”

"Because you are a man, you are the grandson of Jiuru Lane, and you are the person of our Cheng family." Yuan looked at his son coldly, "The girl's family has lived in the inner house all her life, and after getting married, in addition to looking at her husband's face and mother-in-law's face, she also has to look at her sister-in-law's face, her sister-in-law's face, and when she is old, she even has to look at her son's face." Men can walk in all directions, go in and out of the government and the opposition, and they should glorify their ancestors, and focus on meritorious service and national social welfare. The inner house is just a place for you to rest occasionally, and the temple is the place where you should stay and the place where you should work hard. ”

Cheng Xu's face turned red when he heard this, and said: "Self-cultivation and governing the family Qi country and leveling the world, isn't it important to have peace in the inner house?" ”

Before his words fell, Yuan Shi had already sneered and said, "But who wants to be restless in the house?" Isn't it you? If you don't take a good road, you will go to a dead end. Did your grandmother agree to this or did your father agree to this? Who is making trouble here? ”

Cheng Xu wanted to speak and stopped.

He really wants to say that the achievements and fame in history are all in the people, and the success is in the sky, who dares to say that he will definitely achieve great things? But marrying a wife he likes is his immediate business. He only wanted to focus on what was in front of him at this time.

But he knew better that he couldn't say it.

If you say this, it will really be a restless house.

Not only his mother was disappointed, but also his grandmother and father, who had placed his infinite hopes on him.

Cheng Xu looked at his mother with a stunned expression.

Yuan's heart softened.

Thinking of my son's little face as bright as the sun when he was a child, and the chubby little hand when he took something delicious out of his mouth and stuffed it into her mouth...... Her tone couldn't help but soothe a lot. He said in a low voice: "Jiashan, in this world, if there is gain, there will be loss." Your responsibilities do not allow you to be so capricious. We don't say anything else. Just say to the emperor, 'The world is big.' Could it be the Emperor's land', he should be the most honorable person in the world, right? He wanted to make Concubine Lin the queen, but Concubine Lin had no heirs, and the cabinet did not agree, so he could only appoint Concubine Wang Xian, who gave birth to her eldest son, as the queen. The emperor has to follow the rules of the world, let alone us civilians? Shaojin is very good, but if she is from a family of eunuchs, not only will her mother not stop you. I'll find a way to help you marry her back. You're also very good, but if you're just the eldest son of a well-known family, your mother won't ask you to do that. You have enjoyed the offerings of the Cheng family, and you have to repay the Cheng family. This is both your life and Shaojin's life. You can't just look at yourself and ignore others. ”

Cheng Xu was unwilling, he said, "What about the fourth uncle?" He was admitted to the Jinshi and did not enter the ranks, and he was over 20 years old and did not get married. Why don't you leave him alone? Do you want to stare at me? ”

After saying so much, my son still couldn't listen to a word.

Yuan was so angry that his brain was buzzing, knowing that no matter how much he said, it would be useless. She simply said, "If only you could be like your fourth uncle." Don't spend a penny of money at home, at this time, you can stand up your own door when you go out, and I don't care about you! ”

Cheng Xu perked up when he listened. immediately jumped up and said, "Okay, mother, we'll settle it like this." If I can live well without the family's money like my fourth uncle, and without relying on my family, you will promise me that I will make my own decisions about my marriage. ”

Yuan almost vomited blood when she heard this, but fortunately, she was not completely confused by her son, and said intuitively: "You can wait, but the girl's family can't wait." The woman married in unison. I'm afraid this is your wishful thinking, right? ”

Cheng Xu knew that his mother was embarrassing him.

But he's not so easy to stump.

His mind was racing.

The year after tomorrow is the year of Ding You, and there is a laurel list. If he passes the exam, he can gradually stop relying on his family like the fourth uncle?

He immediately said, "That's good." We will limit it to three years, and if after three years I will no longer be dependent on the family, you will have to keep the agreement between us. On the other hand, if you can't make it alone after three years, I will listen to your arrangement. ”

Three years later, Zhou Shaojin was gone.

Yuan said "yes".

After his son passed the examination, he would find out how difficult it was to break into the spring festival of more than 300 people every three years without the support of his family.

※

Zhou Shaojin didn't know that there would always be a striking overlap between this life and a certain moment in his previous life.

On the day of the chrysanthemum banquet, she hid in Wanxiangju and did not go out, and Cheng Xu did not excuse this or that to look for her. While she breathed a sigh of relief, she was also a little uneasy in her heart - I don't know when, Cheng Xu will come out again.

She quietly asked Biyu and the others about Cheng Xu's whereabouts these days.

“…… has been accompanying Min Gongzi. Biyu said, "Hearing Huanxi, Gongzi Min asked the uncle to go to Guozijian to study together, and the prince seemed to agree, and the lady also agreed, and wrote a letter to the eldest master. If the eldest lord has no objection, after the Winter Clothes Festival, the uncle will enter Beijing with Min Gongzi. ”

On the first day of October, every family has to worship their ancestors.

Zhou Shaojin was stunned.

In his previous life, Cheng Xu had been staying in Jinling.

It can't be affected by her rebirth, right?

If so, it's a good thing to suffer. She didn't have to worry about Cheng Xu, after Cheng Xu went to Kyoto, she broadened her horizons, and she might feel that she just let go like this.

That's a good thing!

Zhou Shaojin was in a happy mood and picked up a few crabs to visit Jiying.

Ji Hotaru saw that all the crabs were the size of a bowl, and he drooled greedily, and said, "I haven't eaten such a big crab for many years." I remember that I buried the altar in the yard and dug it up and drank it. ”

"Don't, don't, don't." Zhou Shaojin hurriedly stopped her and said, "The longer my daughter is buried, the more mellow it becomes, let's bury it for a few more years, right?" ”

"Who knows what next year will bring?" Ji Ying didn't think so, and said, "I heard Minghe say that Nanping is packing up her things these days, and it seems that she is going to move to the algae garden to live. If it really moved over, I don't know what year and month this wine will be buried, and who will be cheaper? ”

"You're moving to the algae garden?" Zhou Shaojin was very surprised.

Ji Hotaru shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's just what I heard." Whether to move or not. I don't know very well. ”

These words were like a big stone, and they smashed heavily into Zhou Shaojin's heart.

So how did she get close to Uncle Chi?

Then who did she find to warn Cheng Jing?

What about the Cheng family?

What did she do?

Could it be that Cheng Xu, the ancestor of the second room, did something?

Zhou Shaojin was anxious and said, "Live well." Why do you want to move out all of a sudden? ”

Ji Hotaru smiled: "What are you doing in such a hurry?" It's going to move, I'm afraid it's also after the Winter Clothes Festival. ”

Zhou Shaojin said sadly: "That." Will I see you again in the future? ”

"Don't look like you're going to be separated from life and death, okay?" Ji Yingzhuang was angry and funny, and said, "Your uncle's person is uncertain, maybe we just moved out with the front foot, and the back foot moved back." If you think about it, he doesn't care about anyone, he doesn't care about anyone, and he can't leave his mother behind, right? So as long as the old lady is still alive. As long as the old lady still lives in Jiuru Lane, it is impossible for him not to come back. ”

But what if the old lady is gone?

This thought followed Ji Ying's words and drilled into Zhou Shaojin's mind.

She shuddered.

When did the old lady go?

Zhou Shaojin kept recalling.

She couldn't remember whether Cheng Xu was last seen in the twenty-fourth or twenty-fifth year of Zhide, but Mrs. Guo was still there at that time, otherwise Cheng Xu would not have been able to run to the capital to go crazy. That Mrs. Guo went after Zhide was twenty-five years old.

In the twenty-sixth year of Zhide, she didn't remember what happened to the Cheng family. But in the twenty-seventh year of Zhide, his cousin was named on the gold list, and he was admitted to the Shu Jishi and watched politics in the Criminal Department. Later, her cousin came to see her...... It's my cousin's fall, and it's the year of Bingwu. Twenty-nine years of Zhide. Cousin Yi didn't mention Mrs. Guo, but after that...... Cheng Shao, the second old lady of the long house, suddenly fell ill and died, and he rushed to Xinglin Hutong to help with the funeral.

Xinglin Hutong is the place where the Cheng family settled in the capital. The second old lady of the long house has been living there.

She remembered that her cousin told her at that time: "Since you don't want to have any contact with the Cheng family anymore, just pretend not to know." ”

Tell her not to send anyone to worship.

She saw that Cheng Yi was very depressed at that time, and she was very worried, and she quietly sent someone to follow her, but the person who came back told her that Cheng Yi was very good, and asked her not to worry, and said that someone from Jinling came to report the funeral, and Cheng Yi would rush back to Jinling early the next morning. I won't come and say goodbye to her.

There are too many in-laws of the Cheng family in Jinling.

And Cheng Yi didn't rush back until early the next morning, so it was definitely not a close relative.

She didn't take it to heart.

Don't...... At that time, it was Mrs. Guo who went!

Zhou Shaojin's temples pounded.

Two years later. That is, in the second year of Tianshun, the Cheng family was copied.

The Cheng family was all taken.

Whether it is the women and children in Jinling's hometown, the children of officials in the capital, or the second uncle Cheng Yuan. But Cheng Chi, the fourth old man who ran alone in the long house...... He also robbed the courtroom...... Only saved Cheng Xu alone!

What if Uncle Chi left Jinling and left the Cheng family in the twenty-ninth year of Zhide?

Zhou Shaojin was taken aback by this bold assumption.

She thought about the day she was in Sanzhixuan.

Zhu Pengju, the prince of Liangguo; Gu Jiuzhen, the later waiter of the Ministry of Works; It may be Yuan Beiyun, the eldest son of Yuan Weichang, the first assistant of the dynasty, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the secretary of the ministry, Yuan Weichang...... They talked eloquently, the emperor's companion Wan Tong, the chief eunuch Chen Li of the Qianqing Palace, and the eunuch Liu Yong, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, these characters who would cause shocks in the government and the opposition when they stomped their feet, and made the officials of the feudal territory change their complexion when they heard it, but in their eyes they were ordinary.

She didn't know Uncle Chi's identity at that time, but after she learned who the person who broke the siege for her was, she occasionally couldn't help but think, Uncle Chi knew so many powerful people, why didn't anyone stand up for the Cheng family at the moment of life and death of the Cheng family?

It can be seen that they are all friends of wine and meat!

But what if these people are just friends with Uncle Chi, and Uncle Chi is no longer in the Cheng family?
