CHAPTER XIX
In the mansion, there is a long-standing secret.
Cheng Enci taught his grandmother since he was a child that he had a smile and a sweet mouth, and although the elders in the family knew that he was playful, they still felt that he was a good boy who spoke the rules.
Cheng Enci was a guard, and he never concealed it from the Cheng family.
For a while, the Cheng family had a lot of discussions, but they couldn't stop the three branches from supporting each other.
The third old lady of the Cheng family is serious, and the kind-hearted people in the family have never dared to gossip with him.
When the third old lady of the Cheng family insisted on being a guard in Cheng Enci, he mentioned it lightly to his peers.
The eldest old lady of the Cheng family and the second old lady of the Cheng family are highly accepting of this, and they still agree, after all, Cheng Enci is young, no matter how long he can do this errand, at least he has the heart to stand on his own.
The fourth old lady of the Cheng family was a little worried and said to the third old lady of the Cheng family: "Third brother, this kind of errand of guards, children of people like us, it is very rare to have a chance to improve."
Gifted young, his mind is too shallow. Third brother, you still have to persuade him. He was smart, had children and daughters, and happened to study hard to participate in the imperial examination. ”
The third old lady of the Cheng family looked at the fourth old lady of the Cheng family and sighed: "Those who are your uncles are willing to think about him." I, as a father, am just as willing to think about him.
It's a pity that young people have young people's thoughts, we can't persuade the old man, we can only let him go for a walk, he is lucky and willing to work hard, maybe he can find a way.
He's unlucky, home, forever, he can come home. ”
After the fourth old lady of the Cheng family looked at the third old lady of the Cheng family for a while, he whispered: "Third brother, we all know in our hearts that the status of the second lady in the family.
The children who have been gifted to them are the fifth generation, and according to the rules of the ancestor in the family, when our generation is gone, the branch will be divided first.
If the gift is not self-reliant now, it will be his sons who will be a drag in the future. ”
The three old ladies of the Cheng family were silent, their sons could live peacefully in the mansion, and their grandchildren could live peacefully in the mansion when their fathers were alive.
However, the great-grandchildren of the sixth generation were not suitable to continue living in the mansion at that time.
The third old lady of the Cheng family looked at the fourth old lady of the Cheng family for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever felt wronged?" ”
The fourth old lady of the Cheng family looked at the third old lady of the Cheng family and said with a smile: "When I was young and ignorant, I was not wronged. After being sensible, I don't believe you will always have no sense of grievance. ”
The third old lady of the Cheng family nodded solemnly and said, "Yes." But after being wronged, I also figured it out. Brothers go hand in hand, our family does not have this strength.
The elder has always been the root of the family, and the second is the green leaf, if the second is too strong, and unwilling to accept the status of the second, the family does not need outsiders to deal with it, and the family will be destroyed from the inside.
Anyway, I don't have a lot of skills, but I have self-knowledge. In the past three generations, each generation has been a capable person, so I will not be wronged. When the family prospers, the interests of all of us can be preserved. ”
The three old ladies of the Cheng family only need to deal with the brothers of the same generation, and the three old ladies of the Cheng family have to deal with the kindness of the concubines and nieces and daughters-in-law.
Cheng Kejia looked at the people who came and went, and only felt that their popularity was too good.
Cheng Kejia saw that the three old ladies of the Cheng family had been smiling and greeting the guests, she thanked everyone for their kindness, and ignored those words of mockery.
Cheng Kejia has always been by the side of the three old ladies of the Cheng family, and has seen the sense of proportion when the three old ladies of the Cheng family interact with people, and also saw the happy expressions on their faces when they say goodbye.
