Cheng Xu made a look of crying and laughing, shouted "mother" at Yuan, and said: "I've been sitting for a long time, just want to stretch my waist!" How do you ...... This temper is like a firecracker......" he said, leaning in front of Yuan, and grinning, "Tell me, who offended you?" I'll give you a breath! ”

"Who else dares to offend me but you!" Yuan took the opportunity to say, "When the eldest lady of the Min family was young, I also saw it. Not only is Bing Xue smart, but she also has bright eyes and bright teeth, which is very beautiful......"

Cheng Xu frowned and interrupted Yuan's words: "Mother, it's a bit early to say this. When you are a child, there are many mediocre people who are smart and grow up, so don't always look at people with the old yellow calendar......"

Although he tried his best to suppress it, the Yuan family, who raised him with his own hands, still heard a little impatience in his voice.

Yuan was silent for a moment.

As the saying goes, it's hard to help your mother. Now his son has not only grown up, but he has also won the show, and he is the head of the case. This should be placed in an ordinary family, who has long been a member of the family council, and can speak in the ancestral hall. It's just that the son was born in the Cheng family in Jiuru Lane, and showing talent and lifting people are nothing at all, even if they are Jinshi, they also depend on how many grades of officials they are, so they still let her scold her like a child. But things must be reversed, he now has a Zhou Shaojin in his heart, no matter what she says, he can't listen to it. It's better to put it go for now, and then have a chance to talk to him in detail later. What's more, Zhou Zhen is coming back, with his personality, as long as he shows a slight dislike for Zhou Shaojin, he will not marry his daughter anyway...... When the time comes, there are some things that cannot be left to the son.

Why should he be a bad person at this time, make his son unhappy, and ruin the relationship between mother and son?

Yuan's heart was slightly settled.

"Look at you, you're more verbose than an old woman of mine. Mother says one sentence, you reply ten sentences. You have to say that I can't. Is there any child like you who doesn't admit defeat at all? She smiled and changed the subject, "Still." It's too inappropriate for Cheng Zhen to say that. This is in other people's ears, do you think you and Cheng Lu are jealous? You can't let Cheng Lu talk such nonsense. It's okay to say that you're a boy. The second miss of the Zhou family is a girl, and she has not yet reached the end of time, waiting to talk about her mother-in-law's family, this word is going to be spread, who would dare to marry the second miss of the Zhou family! But you are the party concerned, and it is not good to come forward and say anything...... I'll leave this matter to me! Just read your book in peace. He added, "Next month is your teacher's birthday, and I asked the steward to prepare a set of boxwood for you." A pair of plum blossom vases, although there are few things, but they are very valuable. In two days, you will go to see your teacher.

Cheng Xu's chief examiner for the government examination was the prefect of Jinling at that time, and now he has been promoted to the political envoy of Zhejiang.

Yuan's family is going to send his son to Hangzhou.

Cheng Xu also understood in his heart, but he knew that it was not appropriate to disobey his mother's will at this time, otherwise his mother would be ruthless and wanted to provoke Zhou Shaojin to speak, and he really couldn't stop it.

It's better to listen to my mother's words and go to Hangzhou Mansion to visit my teacher for the time being, and talk about it when I come back.

He smiled and responded.

Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The son has always made a promise, and since he has agreed, he will definitely go to Hangzhou to visit his teacher. If you miss the meeting with Zhou Zhen because of this. That's even better.

Mother and son looked at each other and smiled, knowing that this was not the end result, but they also knew each other. The words can't be said anymore, and if they continue to talk, it will only make the mother and child separate.

Yuan instructed the steward to prepare carriages and horses for Cheng Xu.

Cheng Xu was overjoyed: "You keep an eye on the second lady's side, and as soon as there is any trouble, you will send someone to send me a letter through the guò post station." Don't be afraid to make money, wait for me to come back. ”

Rejoicing should be repeated.

Two days later, Yuan sent Cheng Xu away, and then instructed the little maid to invite Cheng Xu's mother, Dong, to come over for tea: "...... said that the master sent some Lu'an melon slices from the capital, and I asked her to taste them. ”

The little maid answered the call and left.

Dong, who received the letter, was uneasy.

She invited the little maid to sit in the hall, under the pretext of changing clothes. instructed his nurse to send a small servant to send a letter to Cheng Lu, who was taking classes in the clan studies: "We have no relationship with Changfang at all, and Mrs. Yuan and I can't speak two words a year. She suddenly invited me to have a drink. I don't know why? Hurry up and ask Xiangqing for a message, see if I should go? What should I bring with me when I go? ”

The nurse quietly slipped out of the main room. found Cheng Lu's personal servant Songqing.

As soon as Song Qing heard this, he pulled his legs and ran to Cheng's Academy.

But the Cheng family was still far away from the Cheng family in Jiuru Lane, and before Songqing's reply, the Dong family followed the little maid to the Yunzhen Hall in the long room.

Yuan warmly invited Dong to sit down, smiled and exchanged a few words with her, and then talked about Cheng Lu straight to the point: "...... I was taken aback, not only because the child had said the wrong thing unintentionally, but also because someone had ulterior motives to spread the rumor. Thinking that we are all mothers, we all have the same expectations for our children, if this reaches the ears of Xiangqing's teacher, what will we think of him? ”

Dong was even more surprised than Yuan.

She was stunned and speechless, and it took a while to react, and she cried with a pale face: "Mrs. Yuan, you have to be the master of our family!" Our family Xiangqing has been honest since he was a child, and he doesn't know anything except reading, how could he say such a thing? This must be someone who wants to frame our family. Seeing that he was admitted to Xiucai and ate the food, I was jealous......"

That's how jealousy arose. If your son is admitted to the Jinshi, won't everyone see you as if you are a piece of gold!

Yuan endured it without showing disdain.

She motioned to the maid and handed a handkerchief to the Dong family, and then sent the servants in the house, and whispered to the Dong family like a heart-to-heart conversation: "I also heard that your family Xiangqing is very fond of the second lady of the four-room Zhou family, but is there such a thing?" ”

"No, no!" Dong instinctively denied it, and thought of the news that came out of Jiuru Lane a few days ago, saying that Zhou Zhen was transferred to the prefect of Baoding, and was about to enter Beijing as a court official, and entered the sixth department as a waiter, she felt that she had answered this faster, her eyes couldn't help flashing, and her expression was a little hesitant.

In her opinion, her son has always valued Zhou Shaojin, and she is also happy to have a girl like Zhou Shaojin with a good background and a supple temperament as her daughter-in-law, Zhou Zhen is coming back soon, if she marries the Zhou family, it will be better. But now people outside are rumoring that their son and Cheng Jiashan are jealous of Zhou Shaojin. At this time, he proposed to marry the Zhou family, wouldn't it confirm the rumors. But if you deny yourself, you will never have such a good opportunity in the future......

Yuan saw it clearly.

She sneered inwardly.

It seems that his son's words are not all biased Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin married the Cheng family. I'm afraid that the chick has entered the weasel's den, and there is no return.

She pretended not to know. Laughing: "Listen to what you say." I'm relieved - I'll go to visit the ancestor of the second room later, and invite his old man to come forward and teach all those nonsense a lesson. lest they think that our longhouse is easy to bully. ”

Having said that, the Dong family is not good at mentioning Zhou Shaojin's affairs.

She laughed dryly: "Then trouble Madame!" ”

"It's not troublesome to say anything." Yuan smiled, "This is also related to our family. Then he invited her, "Why don't we go together?" Your family also has a share in this! ”

Dong faintly felt that something was wrong when he heard it, what does it mean to "your family also has a share". But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with this.

She couldn't make up her mind, she just wanted to get back home and see her son as soon as possible and listen to what he said before acting.

"My legs trembled when I saw the old ancestor," Dong politely refused, "It's better for you to go by yourself!" Doesn't Uncle Xu also have a part in this matter? I'd better go home and wait for your news. ”

Hearing that Dong refuted himself with his own words, Yuan's heart suddenly became angry, and he said with a smile: "Since my brother and sister can trust me, then I will take full authority to deal with this matter." ”

Seeing that she didn't force herself to go to the second room, Dong sighed. Busy laughing: "That's nature." ”

Yuan smiled and bowed his head, invited her to tea, and then went to the second room.

Dong hurried home.

Cheng Lu was already waiting for Dong at home. Hearing the movement, he immediately greeted him.

"Mother," he said, without waiting for Dong to speak, "we have something to say in the room." ”

Dong nodded again and again, and went to the study with Cheng Lu.

Songqing stayed outside the study, and Dong quietly told Cheng Cheng about the journey to the long room, and finally said regretfully: "If only there were no such rumors." I'm also going to propose to the Zhou family for you! ”

Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Mother, some things are about fate. I'm afraid that I don't have this fate with Miss Zhou Jiaer. ”

The tone was a little helpless.

The Dong family is widowed and guards this son, and the son is her first qiē. And his son is so promising, he can already support the court at a young age. What else is there to say about her. So when she heard Cheng Yan say this, she thought about it and changed her opinion: "I don't think you and Zhou Shaojin have any fate." If you think about it, everything used to be fine, but since she fell ill in March this year, she has gradually distanced herself from us, and she is not as respectful to me as before. Now that Zhou Zhen is coming back, there are such rumors again. She rejoiced, "Fortunately, my son passed the examination, and it is not difficult to say that I have a good family." Otherwise, I feel really uncomfortable! ”

"Mother, don't worry, I will be more diligent in the future, take the exam, and take the Jinshi." Cheng Lu comforted his mother gently, "Don't be sorry for me, just wait to enjoy the blessings." ”

"I'm already enjoying happiness now." Dong was very satisfied, took his son's hand, and said, "You took back the property we hung in the fourth room, and you have a reputation again, and your mother doesn't have to look at the faces of the Cheng family often in the future, we can live our own little life behind closed doors like when your father was alive." After a while, my mother will ask someone to tell you about good family affairs, and you will give birth to a few grandchildren for my mother, and my mother will be able to close her eyes. ”

Cheng Lu's face sank, but he instantly became gentle again, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't be busy with my relatives." The better my career, the easier it is to talk about my father-in-law who can help me, and it is better to wait a few years. ”

"Mother listens to you, mother listens to you for everything." Seeing that his son didn't have too much to say about her going to the long room, Dong felt that there should be nothing wrong with her, so he relaxed and said with a smile, "When did you come back?" Hungry or not? Shall I ask the kitchen to bring you a bowl of lotus seed soup? The weather is getting cooler, and I can't drink this sour plum soup anymore......"
