The weather is hot, Cheng Kejia and the two children don't like to go out, and Gu Youze, the male protagonist, doesn't go home often, so the neighbors have all kinds of topics about their family.

When the innkeeper heard the news and rushed over, she habitually bowed her head in front of Cheng Kejia and said, "Mrs. Gu, you, the general and the two young masters should also go outside, so as not to talk nonsense with some people who are not long-sighted." ”

Cheng Kejia listened to the words of the proprietress, she laughed softly and said, "With such a big sun, how can I walk around outside with nothing to do."

My husband is on business, he even has to pick a day to come back when he goes home, I am willing to let him have a rare day off, and I have to work hard to accompany us outside. ”

The proprietress was actually not very embarrassed, she listened to a lot of gossip, she thought about Cheng Kejia's appearance, she had some doubts in her heart, but when she came to meet Cheng Kejia, she knew that the rumors were too ridiculous.

Cheng Kejia has a dignified demeanor, as if she can't tolerate those lowly eyes, she lives an upright life.

After Cheng Kejia left, she frowned slightly and thought about it, she felt that she and the children were still at dusk, and they had to take a few more laps on the street, and by the way, they would welcome Gu Youze, who might go home.

In the evening time, Cheng Kejia took the Gu Dingyang brothers to walk slowly on the street, the mother and son sometimes talked, and sometimes the pair of little brothers ran happily ahead, and when the neighbors first saw the three of them, there was still a suspicious look in their eyes.

Cheng Kejia has a good attitude, Gu Dingyang's brothers are polite, and the mother and son all show a very educated side.

At dusk, Cheng Kejia's mother and son will walk from the street to the end of the street, and then walk back to the street from the end of the street.

Occasionally, the mother and son would be able to receive their home, and neighbors near the side of the road would be able to hear the family's whispers.

The man whispered: "In summer, there are many mosquitoes at night, you must walk quickly outside, don't give mosquitoes a chance to bite you, do you understand?" ”

The voices of the two children answered happily, and the occasional whisper of a man and a woman could be heard.

When the neighbors were walking outside, everyone would greet each other in a friendly manner, and then slowly Cheng Kejia had neighbors and wives who could walk around with each other.

Cheng Kejia soon received a verbal invitation from Mrs. Wang, a neighbor on the street, for afternoon tea, and after Cheng Kejia expressed her joy, she explained with a tactful smile.

If it is more convenient for the other party, she wants to bring her two children with her, because she is not very comfortable with the two children at home.

The neighbor's wife looked at Cheng Kejia and nodded, and then smiled and said happily: "Mrs. Gu, your two young masters have everyone's demeanor, and I just want our children to get along with them more." ”

Cheng Kejia smiled slightly when she listened to Mrs. Wang's words, when she was walking, she often heard Mrs. Wang praise people like this, Cheng Kejia could see that Mrs. Wang's popularity on this street was very good.

Mrs. Wang's afternoon tea was well prepared, all the ladies on the street were able to come, and the children were also well arranged, all arranged to play in the backyard.

Cheng Kejia came to Wang's house for the first time, and when the owner had a heart, she took a good look at the front yard and backyard of the master's house, and she could see that the Wang family lived a very rich life, at least there were a lot of strange flowers in the backyard.

Under Mrs. Wang's intentional introduction, Cheng Kejia got to know the neighbors well, and then everyone made an appointment for afternoon tea, and Cheng Kejia took the opportunity to send an invitation to the neighbors for afternoon tea.

When women sit in one place, it is natural for the children to talk first, then about their men, and finally about the background of their husband's family and their mother's family.

The neighbors are interested in understanding the situation of the new neighbors, and Cheng Kejia also wants to have a good understanding of the situation of the neighbors, their family may have to live in Yangzhou for several years, and everyone knows each other a little, which is very beneficial to getting along in the future.

Cheng Kejia naturally didn't mind letting the neighbors get to know each other, after all, she didn't want to hear those inappropriate rumors again.

Cheng Kejia followed their intentions very well, and introduced Gu Youze's current position with them, as well as some situations of her husband's family and her mother's family, and she also mentioned the situation of her uncle's family by the way.

The neighbors and wives never thought that Cheng Kejia would be so calm, they all wondered if Cheng Kejia was exaggerating the actual situation, how could a family like the Cheng family marry the daughter of the concubine into a family like the Gu family?

Cheng Kejia looked at the expressions on the faces of the ladies with a smile, and the look of surprise in their eyes made Cheng Kejia secretly a little happy, and she looked at them curiously.

It turned out that most of the civil servants who lived on this street, some of their men were transferred later, bought the courtyard of their predecessors on this street, or rented a hospital with locals, in short, this street was not an official street in the first place.

But now it is an authentic official street, except for the officials who will come to sell or rent yards, ordinary people have no intention of living on this street.

Cheng Kejia knew that if he turned forward on this street and then turned the clouds, it was the official mansion of Yangzhou, and then there was an official street closest to the official mansion, and the officials who lived there were officials from the fourth and fifth grades in Yangzhou City.

They originally thought that Gu Youze, such an official, would definitely choose to live in that place, but he actually lived on this street inexplicably like the previous garrison general.

Therefore, therefore, Gu You didn't come home often at that time, and Cheng Kejia's mother and son didn't go out, so everyone would have those not very good words.

Cheng Kejia heard what they meant, she smiled slightly and said curiously: "Madam, I'm more curious about the people who live in my current yard in front of me, is that lady funny?" ”

The ladies shook their heads lightly, and then said slowly: "The former general is a dignified person, and he rarely goes home in normal times. A few years ago, we met the general's wife, but she had not been here for long, and she was not in good health, so she quickly returned to her hometown.

Later, we heard that there was a concubine to serve the general, and we heard the voice of a young woman, but we never went to deal with the same concubine. ”

Cheng Kejia nodded understandingly, she would not deal with the concubine either, she would not surrender her identity.

When the ladies talked to Cheng Kejia, they revealed a little envy, and when the prefect's wife waited until the autumn, she would give everyone a post to invite everyone to a party, and Cheng Kejia's identity at that time, she would definitely be a guest.

Cheng Kejia just smiled when she heard their words, and then they had the heart to ask Cheng Kejia about the capital.
