Chapter 510: Picking
Just when Wu Baozhang felt deeply uneasy, Cheng Lu, who came out of Cheng's house, was walking alone on Suzaku Street.
The night shrouds the four fields, the streets are quiet and peaceful, and the alleys on both sides are gradually lit up with lanterns, making this piece of light a little luxurious.
That's the life he wants to live.
Cheng Yu thought and stopped.
Cheng Chi chased after him, and the money he had managed to bring out from home and the money he earned after that was slowly exhausted in the escape again and again.
But he still didn't expect that one day he would stretch out his hand to Wu Baozhang for two hundred taels of silver, let alone that he would one day rely on women to live!
How did he become like this?
Cheng Lu's gaze became gloomy.
He turned around and walked slowly towards Xinglin Hutong.
Cheng Jing planted two ginkgo trees in front of his house in Xinglin Hutong.
Straight tree poles, delicate leaves, dancing in the night breeze.
Cheng Lu looked at the big red Ruyi door of the Cheng family in a daze.
Once, he stood at the door with envy on his face, thinking that one day he would be greeted by the steward of the Cheng family in a brand-new green official uniform, sitting in the wide and bright flower hall and talking respectfully to Cheng Jing...... But now, it's a dream.
There is no longer the title of two Jinshi, there is no identity as a child of the Cheng family in Jiuru Lane, and there is no high-spirited outstanding...... He is now just a lost dog who has been driven away by the Cheng family and can't go back, and his relatives can't recognize him.
He's not going to just give up!
He won't just put Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin like this!
He won't let Cheng Xu have a good life!
Cheng Yu turned around and walked quickly out of Xinglin Hutong.

In the east cross courtyard of Cheng's house in Xinglin Hutong. Min Jia took the big red golden begonia flower tray in the hand of the maid Suyue, and said in a low voice: "Is the uncle still reading?" ”
Su Yue nodded and said in a low voice: "Uncle hasn't moved for two hours, this is what I made the lotus seed and lily soup stewed in the kitchen, and grandma persuaded the uncle to eat a little." Always goes on like this, I'm afraid that I won't wait for the imperial examination to drag my boast. ”
She was brought over by Min Jia from the Min family, and she has seen a lot of how the children of the Min family study hard and how they participate in the imperial examination.
Min Jia nodded and said, "You can rest!" I'll bring this lotus seed and lily soup in. ”
Su Yue nodded. He whispered to Min Jia: "Mrs. came over at noon." I talked to the uncle for a long time behind closed doors. After the lady left, the uncle's face was very ugly, and the grandmother had a snack. ”
Min Jia couldn't help frowning.
Her mother-in-law, her son has already married. Sometimes it's too wide.
"I see!" She responded. Gently pushed the door and walked in.
Since returning from Cheng Sheng's child's full moon ceremony that day. Cheng Xu didn't talk to her anymore, let alone share a bed.
She originally thought that it was not her fault that he wanted to be angry, and that he would be angry if he wanted to. But she couldn't stand the persuasion of her nurse: "What if you have the idea of stabilizing the country?" You and Uncle are already husband and wife, and this husband and wife should be harmonious and beautiful, even if they can't be harmonious, they must respect each other as guests. If you are like this, it will only make your mother-in-law dislike and estranged from each other......"
Min Jia thought that she had not been married to the Cheng family for half a year, and there was still no movement around her, so after thinking about it for a while, she finally compromised.
But what she didn't expect was that her low eyebrows did not soften Cheng Xu, but instead glanced at her coldly, pointed to the corner of the bookcase, and said, "Just put things down." ”
All right! It was his fault to lead Zhou Shaojin to meet him, he shouldn't have tested him on that occasion, what should be said behind closed doors after he came back. He was dissatisfied with himself, and she put up with it.
Min Jia lowered her head and put the lotus seed lily soup on the bookcase.
Then she heard Cheng Xu's voice again: "Don't let those maids send things to the study in the future, this is a place to read, and the house is full of the smell of food, what does it look like?" And this sweet soup, wherever you put it, it's sticky......"
Min Jia endured it so that she didn't drop the tray on the ground.
He has a personal affair with Zhou Shaojin, and it is not her fault that he loses Zhou Shaojin, he has the ability to resist marriage with his parents!
Why be angry with her!
Why show her face!
Min Jia couldn't help sneering and said, "If the husband has any dissatisfaction, just tell your mother-in-law directly." When to send you tea every day, when to send you snacks, and how many meals a day to eat, it was originally set by the mother-in-law, and we just acted according to the rules! After all, I am a daughter-in-law, and I am new to the door, I don't know what the rules are at home, so that the husband is wronged! ”
Her words with a gun and a stick made Cheng Xu raise his head and look surprised.
Min Jia's expression became even colder, and he said, "This is lotus seed lily soup." Do you want to use it? If you don't use it, I'll let the maid take it back to the kitchen. ”
Cheng Xu was enraged.
At noon, his mother came to nag for a long time, what Uncle Chi has now entered the office, he has to be admitted to the next subject no matter what, otherwise he will be too far away from Uncle Chi. What grandmother is partial to Chaoyangmen, with the means of Fourth Uncle Chi, sooner or later the grandmother's body silver will be coaxed by Fourth Uncle Chi, let him give birth to the eldest grandson quickly, and when the time comes, when the grandmother is happy, maybe she will take out a few tens of thousands of taels from her own body silver to give them out...... He was very annoyed when he heard this, and said, "Don't you want me to take the top prize?" You bother me with these messy trivial things all day long, can I pass the exam", before successfully blocking my mother's words.
Unexpectedly, he just drove away his mother and came to the Min family.
He immediately stretched his face and said, "What the hell do you want to say?" You are also everyone's lady and the heir of a famous family, so you can't say anything generously. Do you have to speak comfortably with insinuations and scolding Huai, and you feel that you are powerful? ”
Min Jia was trembling with anger.
What does he mean?
Totaling her, Zhou Shaojin is not a famous lady, so everything she does is hypocritical?
A hint of gloom flashed in Min Jia's eyes, and he said, "Cheng Jiashan." I think you're insinuating and scolding Huai, right? Otherwise, what is your heart empty? I'm just asking you to tell your mother-in-law if you have any dissatisfaction, and you're going to get to know my origins. What's the matter, my background doesn't please your eyes? So who do you see pleasing to the eye? At this point, she paused before saying, "Isn't it your little aunt Zhou Shaojin?" It's so beautiful, like a flower. How to look at it, how to look at it, how to look at it. But so what? She didn't marry me, she didn't marry you, Fourth Uncle......"
Her words felt like they were poking in his chest.
"Shut up!" Cheng Xu shouted in a low voice, his eyes red. "Do you know what you're talking about? Is this what everyone should say? Don't let me out yet. I don't want to hear anything like that again! ”
How dare he chase himself!
Min Jia has grown so big. No one has ever chased her.
She had never been humiliated in this way.
"You're driving me?!" Min Jia glared at Cheng Xu, seeing that Cheng Xu's eyes were full of anger, "Am I not right?" Didn't you apologize to Zhou in front of me? How? If you can set it on fire, I'm not allowed to light it? You abandoned the Zhou family, we can't even say it......"
Cheng Xu laughed.
thought of Min Jia and asked the maid Suyue to bring a letter to herself. Said she was a little uncomfortable. I don't want to alarm the elders in the family. Let him in and bring her out...... He met Zhou Shaojin so coincidentally.
Min Jia was startled, and her voice stopped abruptly.
Cheng Xu's face was as pale as paper, and half of his mouth was curled. It seemed to outline a smile, but the coldness in his eyes made that smile full of sarcasm.
Let her look at it and feel terrified.
Min Jia couldn't help but take a step back.
Cheng Xu stood up, slowly walked out from behind the bookcase, walked to Min Jia's side, looked straight into her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Do you really want to know what happened between me and Zhou Shaojin?" I wonder if I'm still thinking about Zhou Shaojin now? I wonder if I'm going to have a resurgence with her......"
His gaze at Min Jia was cold and hateful, which made Min Jia shudder and muttered, "No, don't sue me ......"
Cheng Xu laughed when he heard this, but his eyes were still so cold, and he leaned over and whispered in her ear: "I'm okay with you...... I have always admired Shao Jin, but my mother disagreed, my brothers thought this was an opportunity, so they drugged my wine, and then tried to make an appointment with Shao Jin in the rockery cave in our garden, I felt that that person was Shao Jin in a daze, so I wanted to cook rice with her, so that the family had to agree to my marriage with Shao Jin...... So, I almost made Shaojin strong and violent! Strong, violent......" he said, the pain buried deep in his heart burst out like a flood, crashing against the embankment of his reasoning, and his expression was full of pain and remorse, "don't you want to know why I apologized to her? That's the truth! There is no such thing as who loses whom! There is no such thing as private teaching...... Are you satisfied? Satisfied! ”
"No, no, no." Min Jia's face turned pale, looking at Cheng Xu's gaze as if she had seen a ghost, she took several steps back, until her waist was on the armrest of the Taishi chair, and then she stopped, "You are lying!" How so? You are Xie Yuan of Nanzhili, you are a scholar, and you are a disciple of Jinling Jiuru Lane...... How could you do such a thing! How do you do that...... No, it can't be, you're lying to me......"
"Lie to you?!" Cheng Xu sneered, "Haven't you always wanted to know the truth?" Now that you know the truth, you can't stand it, and you feel like I'm lying to you. That's fine. I'll just lie to you. You just deceived yourself and thought that I had a personal relationship with Zhou Shaojin, and continued to deceive yourself that I had a heart...... Aren't you a famous lady and a well-known virtuous person? My mother had to marry you as a daughter-in-law because she was going for your virtue. When this kind of thing happens at this time, you swallow your tears in your stomach, all kinds of grievances, all kinds of grievances, all kinds of perfection, doesn't it just happen to fulfill your reputation as virtuous and virtuous? ”
