Chapter 018: Strange Man
Roche gently rubbed the swelling plaster on Yongning's cheeks, the texture of the plaster was cool, and the hot skin was instantly comfortable.
"The girl suffered."
"Fortunately, Aunt Zhu finally took the bait, and it was not in vain that I spent so much effort and received this slap." Although his face hurts, Yongning is in a very happy mood.
Yun Chan smiled on the side: "The girl is really a good plan, I expected that Aunt Zhu would be busy framing you after knowing that you have Shannai." ”
Yongning couldn't help but be proud when he heard it: "That's, this is called luring the snake out of the hole!" ”
At this time, a maid came in to spread the word, saying that the person who caused Aunt Zhu's miscarriage was caught, it was a maid in Aunt Zhu's room, who held a grudge after being beaten and scolded for doing something wrong a few days ago, so she had this vicious thought, and she couldn't withstand the pressure and hanged herself.
All of a sudden, there was no longer any cheerful atmosphere in the room, and the faces of the master and servant sank.
Luo Zhi covered his mouth with a fan, frowned and whispered: "This Aunt Zhu is also ruthless." ”
Yongning didn't speak, and Yun Toad let out a cold sweat.
The matter was finally over, and it was rare for the Feng Mansion to live in peace for a few days.
In a few days, a white event and a happy event followed: the white event was that the Cheng family's wife Xu (Cheng Minxing's mother) died of illness; The happy event is the 60th birthday of Mrs. Feng Jiang (Yongning's grandmother), and Yongning is going to Beijing to celebrate her birthday.
On this day, the three Yongning sisters took a sedan chair to Cheng's house for funeral.
Cheng Minxing greeted the guests at the door in a plain dress, although he was in poor spirits due to sadness, and the number of people had decreased a lot, but he showed his posture and was still very handsome.
Yongning got off the sedan chair, bowed to Cheng Minxing, and tried his best to look very sad and said: "Brother Minxing mourns." ”
Cheng's mother and her mother are handkerchiefs, and they have long said that their children will be brothers and sisters or brothers in the future, and Yongning is not too much to say so.
Cheng Minxing only formulaicly said: "Please inside." ”
A few maids led the three sisters of the Feng family into the inner house, and the Cheng family was already white, like snow flying in June in the world. Mrs. Cheng is from the Xu family of Shanyin, after the famous family, and the famous outside, the Cheng family in Hangzhou is a vein of the Linchuan family, and the mourning women are very much, all crying in the mourning hall, babbling, so desolate.
The guests had almost arrived, but Cheng Minxing was still waiting at the door with a few faceless supervisors in the house. I saw an inconspicuous sedan chair coming from the entrance of the alley, and the difference was only that there was a circle of warriors dressed in dragging, but Cheng Minxing's bleak face was rarely filled with joy.
The sedan curtain was opened, and a man with a long figure came down, with handsome and elegant eyebrows, although he was only wearing an ordinary straight jacket to make an ordinary literati appearance, but he still looked solemn and dignified.
Cheng Minxing hurriedly stepped forward and arched: "Fourth uncle! ”
The rest of the servants also knelt on the ground and called, "Fourth master." ”
The man said "um", Gu Zi stepped into the house, and asked someone to lead him to the guest hall.
Cheng Minxing took the tea cup and saluted the man sitting on the Taishi's chair, and said respectfully: "The fourth uncle has been fortunate all the way from Jingshi. ”
The man took a sip of tea: "I have no children under my knees, I have treated you as my own since I was a child, my second brother died early, and your mother died suddenly, where can I not come." The second brother refers to Cheng Minxing's biological father, whose scientific name is Cheng Tingchou, who served as the priest of the Nanjing Guozi before his death, and lived in Hangzhou with his wife and children after his death.
Cheng Minxing knew that it was an eventful time in Beijing recently, and everything was complicated, and it was not easy for the fourth uncle to leave behind the political affairs and rush over, except for his parents, I am afraid that there was no third person in the world who would treat him so generally, so he couldn't help but red-eyed, knelt on the ground and said earnestly: "Minxing thanked the fourth uncle, the kindness of the fourth uncle, no teeth unforgettable!" ”
The man smiled gently and helped him up: "Minxing, I hope you will mourn." ”
Cheng Minxing struggled to squeeze out a smile and said, "Yes." ”

"It's hot!"
Yongning was sweating, so he had to fan the wind with a handkerchief. The mourning hall is small, and there are so many people stuffed in it, but it can't be like a steamer to heat people to death!
Yun Chan wiped her sweat and said with relief: "Miss endure it again, it will be fine immediately." ”
"Really!" Yongning couldn't help but complain when he thought of the culprit who couldn't get out, "Where did Feng Yongying go out of tune?" I didn't see anyone for half a day. After speaking, he dragged the cloud toad to find someone.
The two searched for a long time, and finally saw Feng Yongying and Cheng Minxing standing behind a rockery in a remote place.
"Brother Minxing, I know that Ling Tang has passed away, and you are sad in your heart, I hope you will take care!"
Yongning quietly stepped on a stone and climbed on the rockery to look over, and saw it clearly-Feng Yongying's eyebrows were gentle, and he spoke skillfully, as if he had an inexhaustible heartfelt heart.
"Miss......" Yun Chan saw that Yongning's posture was really indecent, and she was afraid that she would fall, so she had to stand aside tremblingly, "Let's go, it's really not everyone's girlfriend to eavesdrop on other people's words." ”
Yongning was watching with relish, where was he willing, he freed up his hand to drive away Yun Toad: "If you want to go, you go first!" ”
Over there, Cheng Minxing was depressed since his mother's death, and he heard Feng Yongying's witty words, like dead wood in spring: "Thank you......."
"Brother Minxing, I'm going to be married next year, and then the family will give me a match," a scarlet cloud flew on Feng Yongying's snow-white cheeks, "You know my mind......"
Cheng Minxing said with a smile: "Don't worry, when I pass the Jinshi examination, I will marry you in the scenery." ”
He was handsome, and his smile made people feel like a spring breeze, Feng Yongying was happy and ashamed when she saw it, and threw herself into Cheng Minxing's arms, so frightened that Cheng Minxing hurriedly pushed her, but she didn't dare to push too hard, and she was at a loss for a while and a little embarrassed.
Yongning on the side was amazed, she didn't expect Feng Yongying to be so bold, she didn't care about secular etiquette at all, she was worthy of being the pioneer of the times, and hurriedly wanted to drag Yun Chan to watch the play together-"Yun Chan? Cloud toad? ”
Lowered his voice and shouted for a long time No one answered, Yongning looked back, only to see Yun Toad's face full of embarrassment, and a man wearing a lake blue straight jacket stood on the side, his face was like a crown of jade, his bearing was magnificent, and a pair of bony hands were holding a half-open folding fan, looking at himself with a smile.
Yongning let out a low cry of fright, and almost fell off the stone, but fortunately stabilized his body. When she saw this person's polite appearance, she thought that he was an ordinary scholar, and just wanted to pull up Yun Toad and run away, but she heard the man say softly: "Why don't you listen?" ”
Isn't this nonsense, how can I still be in the mood to listen to you here?
Thinking about it, Yongning pulled out a bright smile: "If you want to listen, don't I give you the position......
The man knew that Yongning was teasing him, and he was not annoyed, but only looked at her with a pair of Danfeng eyes that looked like ancient wells.
"Who's there?"
Feng Yongying's voice came, and Yongning hurriedly signaled to the man with his eyes, meaning to let him go quickly, but he didn't expect that this eldest brother had excellent psychological quality, and he looked like he didn't care about himself and watched a good show.
Yongning was so anxious that he stomped his feet, afraid of leaving him here, and after a while, he would sell himself in front of Cheng Minxing, and he couldn't directly pull his hand, so he had to pull his sleeve and quickly evacuate the crime scene.
After running a few steps, there was someone in front of him, Yongning threw off his sleeves and warned him with a straight face: "You remember, no one saw it just now, otherwise it will ......"
She sneered, and swiped her palm across her neck.
The man solemnly said "um", and Yongning left with Yun Chan with confidence.
"Sir! You can make the little ones easy to find! After Yongning left, a little guy ran over, if he hadn't stood not far away just now and happened to witness everything, he wouldn't have believed that his master would be dragged by a little girl, "That young lady just now was really interesting." ”
After speaking, he saw his old man glancing at him expressionlessly, how could he still have the approachable appearance just now, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly swallowed the remaining half of the sentence into his stomach.
