Chapter 167: The concubine is favored by others
Cheng Yue watched the seven beauties getting dressed at the same time, and finally realized that the seven of them were sleeping together, laughed proudly, and went to the dining room to eat refreshed. Xindao rested well in the afternoon, but it was different.
The Guan sisters, Ziyan, Shiyun and the eight singers were already waiting for their stomachs to be hungry, and finally looked forward to Cheng Yue walking in with a smile on his face, followed by seven wives and concubines who were all hiding behind with red faces.
Except for the Guan sisters who were still a little confused, the singers all understood what was going on, some were shy, some were amazed, and some were envious.
The meal was served immediately, and Cheng Yue and his wives and concubines were hungry, and they ate the food like a whirlwind.
After eating, Cheng Yue taught Ziyan Shiyun to make cakes, and then rehearsed for the singers, and was busy until the third watch before falling asleep.
When he got up in the morning, Cheng Yue pulled Lu Qi aside and didn't know what to ask, and explained a few words to Ziyan and Shiyun before going to the school to give a lecture. As soon as he returned to the mansion after a day's class, Ding Yi told Cheng Yue that Jin Luxiang had dragged the whole family into Cheng's mansion.
Cheng Yuexi said: "He finally arrived, I invited him after eating, I have something for him to do." You send someone to find Meng Cheng again. ”
Jin Luxiang knew that Cheng Yue might have to use his plan in the future, so he didn't dare to make a noise all the way, returned to his hometown, quietly disposed of the family's property, and told everyone that he was going to teach in other places, leaving only two old servants to take care of the house, with his old wife and two sons, under the pseudonym Jin Mu, sneaking back to Cheng's mansion for a few days.
As soon as he went to the mansion, his wife and two sons knew that Jin Luxiang was valued by Governor Cheng and lived directly in Cheng's mansion, which made him a confidant. Governor Cheng Dadu made every promise in the DPRK and covered the sky with one hand in the Special Administrative Region. This big tree. was actually leaned on by Jin Luxiang!
The family couldn't help but be overjoyed. They all looked at Jin Luxiang with admiration, especially the old wife Yu, after putting down their luggage, they worked hard to tidy up in the small courtyard that Cheng Yue assigned to them, and while working, they also called their two sons to the front of him to ask for orders, for fear that the two of them would cause some trouble in Cheng's mansion, and Cheng Yue would be angry with Jin Luxiang.
There is a mother in the family, of course, they will not be left out in the cold. Ding Niang personally took Jin'er Yu'er and a few servants. He came to visit them with a large bag of supplies, and gave them twenty taels of silver to settle down.
Jin Luxiang's family saw Cheng Yue's wife for the first time, and they were all grateful to see her from an official eunuch and her stunningly beautiful but approachable appearance.
The two sons of the Jin family, one eighteen years old and the other seventeen years old, have never married a wife, and they dare not think about it when they see Dingniang's love in their hearts. And Jin Er Yuer is sixteen years old, and she is delicate and lovely, the two fell in love at first sight, and felt that it was a good thing to be able to marry such a woman. It's just that I don't know if they have been accepted by most of them to fill the house.
Yu also loves Jin'er Yu'er, and thinks that the governor loves this lady so much. If you can let the two sons marry these two maids, your family can also have a little relationship with the inner house in the future, which will be very beneficial to the master. So he asked about Jin'er Yu'er's identity outside the words.
Dingniang is so smart, she has long seen that these two sons of the Jin family have fallen in love with Jin'er Yu'er, but they don't want to break it, Yu Shi just asked again, and it is not easy to tell the outside world about the affairs in the boudoir, so she had to say: "These two girls are going to wait for the officials, just wait for the officials to be free one day, and hold a few tables of banquets in the inner house to enter the door." ”
When Yu heard this, he was disappointed. The two sons looked at Jin'er Yu'er who was shy and calm, and they were even more depressed. Life should be like a metropolitan governor, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women, waking up and killing human rights. I have to work harder to see if the governor can take a fancy to him, and in a few years, he will also get a wife.
Ding Niang inquired and went back to the inner house. Jin Luxiang's two sons looked at the backs of their master and servant and hung their heads in dejection, and Yu also sighed in the room.
Seeing this, Jin Luxiang said angrily: "You are a woman, don't want to be longwangshu." The Metropolitan Governor let us live in to treat me with his confidants, and I was thinking of reciprocating with all my loyalty, but you actually dared to fight the idea of the Metropolitan Governor's concubine, what did you say about your two sons just now? ”
Yu Shi was woken up by him, quickly admitted his mistake, and went to clean up the house. The two sons picked up Cheng Yue's books and studied them hard, and if they wanted Cheng Yue to use them again, this set of books was the first step.
It was getting late, and after the Jin family had a sumptuous dinner, Ding Yi came over to spread the word and asked Jin Luxiang to go to the study to meet the governor.
Jin Luxiang had been waiting for the summons, and Yu was busy tidying up his clothes. Jin Luxiang followed the servant woman who came to lead the way, and went straight into the back house to Cheng Yue's study.
When Cheng Yue saw Jin Luxiang coming in, he first congratulated him for his hard work along the way, and then said to him: "Although you have just settled down, I will have something to do for you immediately." I once made an oath to build a loyal shrine in Lin'an, and enshrine all the tablets of soldiers who died fighting for me in the shrine, and this matter will fall on you. I know you have two sons, and I can get them to help out, and I will see what they will do. In addition, I have another person to hand over to you, that is, Meng Cheng, the son of Meng Zhijing. This son is different from his father, he is not right-minded, and he is especially greedy for money, but for his father's sake, I cannot ignore him, and let him follow you to do this well. You keep an eye on him, don't let him do anything. ”
Jin Luxiang knew that Cheng Yue handed over such an important matter to himself, which was a trust and test for himself, and gave his two sons a chance to improve, stood up, and bowed very respectfully to receive the order.
Cheng Yue handed him a stack of drawings he had drawn, and explained some ideas and various matters to him clearly. Fortunately, he lives close, and if there is anything he doesn't understand, he can come and ask at any time.
The two were discussing, and a servant woman came in to report that Meng Cheng was already waiting outside, and Cheng Yue ordered him to bring him in.
Since Meng Cheng returned to Lin'an's house, he knew that he had been entrusted by his father to the Metropolitan Governor, and he didn't dare to cause trouble outside at all, and even Cheng Yue only sent someone to give him a heavy gift, and he resolutely did not go, lest someone demean him in front of the Metropolitan Governor. Every day, he only calls friends at home, spends all day drinking, and his mother does everything as long as he doesn't go out to mess around.
On this day, he sent away a few friends, and was about to play with his maid ring, when someone from the Dadu Governor's Mansion came to the door and asked him to go to the Dadu Governor's Mansion immediately, saying that Cheng Dadu was going to summon him.
Meng Cheng didn't know why the Metropolitan Governor summoned him, and he was so frightened that he desperately recalled whether he had been in trouble these days, and he was even more afraid that his previous bad deeds would be known by Cheng Yue. After thinking about it, I still didn't dare not go, so I had to change my clothes, take two antiques, and visit the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for the first time with the visitor.
Meng Cheng waited in the living room of the inner house, put down the gift, and Yunluo came out to thank him. Meng Cheng had only seen Yunluo from a distance before, but now when he looked at it so closely, he saw that Yunluo was delicate and exquisite, with spring in her eyebrows, and a faint fragrance on her body, she was indeed a rare beauty.
He is a son-in-law, who is uncomfortable at home these days, and is fascinated by Yunluo's gestures. Especially Yunluo's pair of jade feet, small and slender, wearing a pair of delicate embroidered shoes, between the swing of Luo's skirt, a piece of white jade-like feet was faintly revealed, Meng Cheng's nosebleeds almost flowed out, and he couldn't wait to hold this pair of jade feet and have a good time.
If this woman belonged to someone else, he would not hesitate to spend as much as he wanted, so he had to find a way to buy it, but she was the forbidden governor of the capital, and he didn't dare to give him the audacity.
Yun Luo saw that he was so beautiful that he was always staring at his feet, and she was a little unhappy in her heart. Because of the relationship that Meng Chun is Cheng Yue's righteous son, she came forward to thank her. Her body can only be shown to Cheng Yue, how can other men have such thoughts? I was going to accompany him to say a few more words, but I changed my mind, and I returned to the inner house after saying goodbye.
Meng Cheng was slightly angry when he saw Yun Luo leaving, I don't know if it was because his lust was discovered, if Yun Luo sued him in front of Cheng Yue, wouldn't he be unlucky? When I thought of this, I was scared into a cold sweat, and I deeply regretted that I was lustful just now, and I immediately wanted to run away, but there was nowhere to escape. I could only wait anxiously in the living room alone in sweat, and suddenly remembered the scene where my father was beaten by Cheng Yue, and I was even more panicked, touched my buttocks, and complained bitterly in my heart, and I didn't know if I could hold it up if I could hold it up.
A servant woman came in and invited Meng Cheng to the study, and when she saw Meng Cheng sweating profusely, she couldn't help but wonder, is it so hot this day?
Meng Cheng followed the servant, lowered his head, and walked into the study step by step, just saw a pair of feet on the ground, and immediately knelt down without raising his head, and gave a big gift.
Cheng Yue saw that he was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to raise his head, so he looked at him suspiciously, and said, "You get up, you don't have to give this big gift." ”
Meng Cheng's legs were weak, and he worked hard twice before he finally stood up and stood aside, only then did he see Jin Luxiang, no matter who it was, he saluted first.
Cheng Yue introduced Meng Cheng to Jin Luxiang, and said to Meng Cheng: "This Mr. Jin Mu is my confidant, and he is entrusted by me to build the Loyal Soul Temple. Before Ling Zun went to Shanghai, he entrusted you to me, I can't leave you at home, so I want you to study with Mr. Jin first, what do you think? ”
When Meng Cheng heard that Cheng Yue was going to use him to do things, he knew that he couldn't refuse, so he immediately responded: "The little nephew obeys his uncle's orders." ”
Cheng Yue was only two years older than him, but he was climbed into an elder by him, frowning slightly. Jin Luxiang knew that Meng Cheng was saying this to himself, he sneered in his heart, and thought of Cheng Yue's evaluation of this person just now, and sighed secretly.
Cheng Yue told him a few words, but there was nothing to say, so he sent him back and ordered him to wait at the gatehouse of Cheng's mansion tomorrow morning.
Jin Luxiang waited for him to leave, and said: "Governor Dadu, the Meng family is really inferior to one generation. Meng Zhijing is already a tiger father and a dog, and this Meng Cheng is even more of a gentleman, if he makes trouble, can his subordinates punish him on the spot? ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "I'll hand him over to you, you can do it." Punish him, just tell me the ins and outs of the matter. (To be continued......)
