Chapter 441: Be Careful
Cheng Jing looked displeased and asked Cheng Chi: "Why don't you discuss such a big matter with me?" ”
Cheng Chi smiled: "Isn't this discussing with you?" Lord Song recommended me to join the company, and it was not today and yesterday! ”
Cheng Jing Qi knot.
He thought that he had made it clear last time, but he didn't think that Cheng Chi didn't take it to heart at all, and still went his own way.
Mrs. Guo couldn't see Cheng Jing or Cheng Wei pressing Cheng Chi.
If Cheng Chi hadn't been sacrificed at the beginning, would they have been able to recover smoothly and still have a smooth sailing career?
She's still alive, Da Lang will point fingers at Shiro, a little unsatisfactory like Lao Tzu training his son, scolding Shiro, if she dies, is there still this brother who sacrificed himself for his future in Da Lang's eyes?
The thought flashed, and Mrs. Guo didn't agree with Cheng Chi going to Jining, Shandong as an official, but she immediately changed it.
Shiro not only wants to be an officer, but also to be a high-profile officer, and he should be invited by Song Jingran to become an officer.
She immediately said unhappily: "Da Lang, what are you talking about?" If others don't know, don't you know either? Shiro didn't come out of office before, because Cheng Xu insisted on asking Shiro to take care of the affairs of Jiuru Lane. Now that we have separated from Jiuru Lane, the housekeepers are naturally in charge of the housework, and Shiro should naturally be out of office. When Shiro told me that Song Jingran recommended him to join the company, I was still wondering, you are Shiro's eldest brother, you should have planned for Shiro's affairs a long time ago, and now I know that I haven't considered Shiro's affairs at all...... What are you doing these days? When you were clamoring to divide the sect, did you never think about how to live this day after dividing the sect? Do you dare to divide the sect like this? You've got your brain in the water, right? ”
Cheng Jing was scolded by his mother in front of his two younger brothers, his wife, and his brother-in-law, and he opened his mouth to defend himself, but he was gently kicked twice by his wife.
He hurriedly looked at his wife.
But his wife signaled him not to be impulsive, not to say anything, and to apologize to his mother and fourth brother.
He understands the truth of family and prosperity, but his mother and younger brother have gone too far this time.
He ignored his wife's gesture this time, but continued: "Mother, the officials are not always in short supply, I have the heart to find a better errand for Shiro, so I picked and picked up the delay, it's not that I didn't do my best." I actually took a fancy to Shiro and the deputy envoy of the two Huai Salt Transportation Divisions, but the deputy envoy was from the fifth grade, Shiro had never been an official, and it was not easy to do it over there, so I wondered if I should find a judge to do it first, from the sixth grade, low-key, and reasonable, and when the errand of the Salt Transportation Division was over, I just returned to Beijing, and Shunshun was going to find a five-grade errand to do......"
Old Madam Guo didn't wait for him to finish speaking, she spat him and said sharply: "Who doesn't know that our Cheng family is a family that relies on salt to transport it?" At that time, the two Huai Salt Transportation Divisions helped the governor of the river to return the money, and your younger brother ran in Huai'an and Jinling for two years, and I didn't sleep well in those two years, for fear that something would happen to the two Huai Salt Transportation Divisions and involve your younger brother. Even Bo Xiang Zhiyong, the lord of Huai'an, who helped your brother at that time, your brother tried to help him go a way and transferred to Songjiang to become the magistrate, and Xiang Zhiyong still sent someone to greet me every New Year's Day. Do you think your brother went there to collect money with a coat for the past two years? Your brother is pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers to make money for you to spend? Do you see that your family is now suffering from a lot of vitality, and you still want to get some silver from the salt transportation and come back? Once upon a time, your brother was a merchant, and it is understandable that he was a merchant. Now you let your brother become a judge of the two Huai Salt Transportation Divisions and then go home to get silver, that's greedy for ink! Are you looking for a future for your brother? I think you want your brother to die sooner, right? ”
Speaking of this, don't say it's Cheng Jing, even Cheng Wei, who was listening on the sidelines, was also startled, and Cheng Jing knelt in front of Mrs. Guo with a "plop", and said anxiously: "Mother, don't be angry!" Listen to me, we are three brothers, how could I let Shiro have an accident? I just thought that Shiro was familiar with salt transportation, so it was better to start with salt transportation first......"
Cheng Jing knelt down, and Cheng Wei couldn't stand, so he also knelt down.
Seeing this scene, Yuan and Wei Er's wife, Qiu, had no choice but to kneel.
Mrs. Wei couldn't help wiping the sweat from her forehead.
She has been in the capital for more than ten years, and she has had little contact with the old lady, and she only knew that the old lady was a strong person, but she didn't expect the old lady to be old, and she actually sprinkled it like a child for the fourth uncle's affairs.
So there is truth to what the old sayings say.
This father and mother are Ai'er.
Young, young, old like a child.
Yuan couldn't help but slander in his heart.
The old lady's heart is also too biased.
Da Lang didn't say anything, and the old lady was going to die or live like this...... She had already learned it, but Da Lang didn't listen, now it's okay, everyone has no face with it.
However, the old lady's words also reminded her.
The Cheng family relied on salt to make their fortunes, what kind of business was that - it is said that the silver in the warehouses of those salt merchants in Yangzhou was piled up like a hill...... The Cheng family has been rich for so many years, no wonder Jiashan got married, and the old lady made a move of 20,000 taels of silver...... After the eldest lady of the Min family marries in, she has to remind her that the old lady can't lack any courtesy here!
Mrs. Guo scolded her son, which made her feel better.
Cheng Chi looked at his mother's face pale, hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Guo, and persuaded: "Mother, how can the eldest brother have so much thought as you said." Don't be angry, I'm not a child anymore, I have my own opinions on where to go. Don't force my eldest brother to run away for me. He is now an old man, I don't know how many people are staring, and some things still have to be avoided. It was just right for Lord Song to recommend me, so as not to gossip about others, and I could adapt quickly even when I took office. ”
Old Madam Guo still couldn't understand her hatred, and said coldly: "I don't think he looks down on Lord Song for getting an errand, but thinks that your errand was recommended by Lord Song and slapped him in the face, right?" ”
"How, how!" Cheng Jing explained embarrassedly, "If I was afraid of face, I would have forbidden Shiro to interact with the Song family, I was afraid that Shiro's behavior would fall into the eyes of people with a heart and become a ...... I instigated."
Speaking of which, I am still afraid that others will misunderstand.
Mrs. Guo didn't want to talk to her eldest son anymore, so she simply interrupted Cheng Jing's words unceremoniously, and said to her second son Cheng Wei: "Shilang's matter, you can help pay more attention." What kind of personality is Yang Shoushan, where is he, what hobbies he has, what kind of people are in the family, and are there any in-laws who can move around each other...... You all help to inquire, Shiro went, and he was a good man. Mrs. Song, I personally went to say thank you. Anyway, let their family Lord Song bother! ”
Cheng Chi thought about Song Mu.
Instead of waiting until he knew from others that he was related to Shao Jin, it was better for him to take the initiative to tell him and make Song Mu feel better.
The three brothers lingered in Mrs. Guo's house for a long time, and when they saw that Mrs. Guo was tired, they got up and said goodbye.
When he went out, Yuan pulled Cheng Jing's sleeve.
Cheng Jing understood, slowed down, and fell behind Cheng Wei and Cheng Chi.
Cheng Wei didn't care, and talked to Cheng Chi about the resumes of those officials in the DPRK and China who were six or seven grades but held important positions of real power.
Seeing that the Yuan couple had something to say, Qiu was about to take a few steps forward and walk in front of Yuan and Cheng Jing to leave a place for the Yuan couple to be given. In the opposite verandah, a group of maids and women surrounded a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, and walked towards this side.
Yuan's footsteps paused.
Qiu almost hit her.
I heard Yuan Shiqi say: "Ah Xuan, why are you here?" ”
Cheng Jing and the others couldn't help but look back.
I saw the little girl walking over briskly, and bowed her knees to Yuan: "Cousin, my mother asked me to learn to write with the old lady." I'm here to hand in my homework! ”
The Fang family is also a well-known scholar, a century-old family, if you want to write, why do you have to ask Mrs. Guo for advice.
Yuan was surprised.
The Cheng Jing brothers have turned around and continued to move forward - the in-laws admire Mrs. Guo's personality a lot, and they all want to send their daughters or nieces to Mrs. Guo for guidance, but Mrs. Guo refuses a lot and accepts it...... It's only two or three people...... Even so, it was only used by the mother to pass the time when she was bored, and their brother did not take it to heart.
Yuan had to chat with her: "Is your mother okay?" I just came back from Jinling, and my house hasn't been packed up yet. You will only be able to visit your mother in a few days...... But I haven't seen you for more than a year, but you're pretty again......"
Fang Xuan responded generously.
Cheng Chi, who had already walked a certain distance, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Fang Xuan.
Yuan felt a little strange.
No matter what kind of temperament the brothers of the Cheng family have, they are the same in terms of women, and they never pretend to be colors. How could it be today......
As soon as her mind moved, she remembered something.
Cheng Chi, not married yet!
Mrs. Guo has picked fat and thin ones for him for so many years, and she is afraid that she is a princess with Cheng Chi, and her old man will also feel wronged Cheng Chi.
But sometimes, this fate is not up to anyone!
After all, Cheng Chi is a person who sits on the second and third side, even if he is a good student, those who love their daughters may not be willing to marry the Cheng family.
Now, the old lady is such a lonely person, she will actually point out the little girl of the Fang family who has not left the pavilion!
The corners of Yuan's mouth curled, originally he was just standing and talking, but at this time, he took Fang Xuan's hand and warmly and sincerely invited Fang Xuan and her mother to come to the house as guests: "...... When it comes to October, I have to get busy with your cousin Jiashan's marriage, even if I have the heart and can't get together! ”
Fang Xuan didn't notice Yuan's abnormality.
These Jiangnan officials and relatives in the capital often gather together.
Fang Xuan smiled and answered for her mother.
Only then did Yuan let go and looked towards Cheng Chi.
Cheng Chi has turned around and left with Cheng Wei.
As if it had never happened.
He sent his brother and sister-in-law away, went back to the house to change his clothes, and decided to go to Yuqian Hutong.
If this errand really came to pass, he would have to talk to Shao Jin.
And if he goes, he will stay in Jining for at least four or five years. He was reluctant to leave Shaojin alone in the capital. can let Shao Jin follow him to Jining to suffer, and he is reluctant. But if he doesn't go out and doesn't make achievements in his career, it will be even more difficult for him to explain to Zhou Zhen.
For the first time in his life, Cheng Chi felt torn between a dilemma.
