The gate of the sect was open, and the people of the Cheng family went to the sect one after another.

The three old ladies of the Cheng family and Cheng Kejia came neither early nor late, and it just so happened that a couple of newcomers had not yet come.

The three old ladies and four brothers of the Cheng family sat together, and the brothers of the Shu branch gathered around them to talk.

It is only on such occasions that a special affinity is shown between the concubines.

Cheng Kejia and Cheng Keling are in one place, Cheng Kerou and Cheng Kemei are also with them, and the relationship between the four of them is slightly more subtle as they get older.

Cheng Kejia has always been close to Cheng Keling, and she has little interaction with Cheng Kerou's sisters, so naturally she doesn't feel so sensitive.

Cheng Keling and Cheng Kerou sisters spend a lot of time together, and she can feel the slight changes between the two cousins and between her.

Cheng Keling was very calm when facing the Cheng Kerou sisters, even when she heard them mention that Cheng Kejia ran errands with the Mu family, she was quite happy and agreed.

Cheng Kerou and Cheng Kemei never thought that the appreciation they should have received was just because they resigned slightly, and after that, that opportunity fell into Cheng Kejia's hands.

They originally thought that the Mu clan would use the two sisters no matter what, after all, there were only two sisters who were suitable for their age.

In their impression, Cheng Kejia is still young, and she is a little sister who likes to stick to Cheng Keling and never let go, and she has always been pampered.

As a result, Cheng Kejia followed the Mu family, not afraid of the wind and snow, and explained things on behalf of the Mu family in the courtyards of the Cheng family, and there was never a mistake or omission.

Cheng Kejia was later able to directly explain the things in hand to the concubines who had always been close to her, and the Mu family also acquiesced, which surprised the Cheng Kerou sisters.

If their sisters knew that they could still deal with it like this, they would be willing to endure the inconvenience for a while, and they would not be looked down upon like now.

The number of people in the sect gradually increased, and when Cheng Fangzi and his wife came, there were almost a full house.

The eldest old lady of the Cheng family sat on the main seat, Cheng Fangzi and the Ning family knelt down to him and bowed, and after the eldest old lady of the Cheng family took the tea of the newlyweds, he encouraged the newlyweds to be considerate of each other and live a good life.

Ning presented two pairs of mille-feuille shoes to the eldest lady of the Cheng family, and Ning modestly said that her needlework was not as good as that of the Cheng family's sisters, but the shoes were sewn by her by herself.

The eldest lady of the Cheng family was very happy with the thoughts of the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, and he directly gave Ning a big red envelope.

Ning gave Cheng Enmeng and his wife two pairs of shoes with mille-feuille soles, and Cheng Enmeng and his wife happily drank the newlyweds' tea and gave Ning a thick meeting gift.

Cheng Fangzi accompanied the Ning family to meet the big and small people of the Cheng family, the Ning family gave the second old lady of the Cheng family a painting, and the spring gave the second old lady of the Cheng family a delicate fabric.

The Cheng Enzhong brothers are precious inkstones, and the concubines of the Yue family receive exquisite and beautiful small screens.

Ning gave his younger brothers a famous pen and a sewing kit to his younger sisters.

Cheng Kejia took a look at the sewing box in his hand, and only felt that the Ning family had spent time preparing such a gift.

Cheng Keling and Cheng Kejia's sisters gave Ning's meeting gift to the Ning family, which happened to be twenty handkerchiefs made by them with a full moon.

After Ning met with her family, the sisters of the family surrounded her and talked.

Ning's face turned slightly pale, and after Mu raised her eyes, she still felt sorry for her daughter-in-law in her heart.

She beckoned Cheng Kejia and said, "Jia'er, you take your sister-in-law for a walk in the courtyard." ”

Cheng Kejia agreed, she and Ning Shi walked out of the door of the main courtyard, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief in the courtyard, and then looked at each other.

Cheng Kejia looked at the lively situation in the front yard, and she whispered to Ning: "Sister-in-law, I'll take you to the backyard to take a look, Uncle Cheng planted vegetables in the backyard, but I don't know if the vegetables can survive in such snowy weather." ”

"Uncle Cheng?" Ning looked at Cheng Kejia, when she had just met with Cheng Fangzi, she didn't seem to have heard of this name.

Cheng Kejia saw the confusion in Ning's eyes, and she explained to Ning with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Uncle Cheng is the person who takes care of the sect, and everyone in the family calls him like this.

He took good care of the sect, and the elders in the family explained to us that Uncle Cheng was a meritorious person of the Cheng family. ”

The Ning family suddenly understood that this Uncle Cheng was the loyal servant of the Cheng family.

The backyard of the sect is very cold, and even the green in the vegetable patch in the backyard can't dilute this coolness.

Cheng Kejia saw Ning's stretch out his hand to stroke his arm, she quickly looked around and said, "Sister-in-law, this is the courtyard where the ancestor lived, the ancestor is very wise, he knows that you are the eldest sister-in-law, and he will be very happy with your arrival." ”

Ning Shi listened to Cheng Kejia's words, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister Jia'er is right, I am already a member of the Cheng family. ”

Ning straightened up, Cheng Kejia looked at her and chuckled, and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go to the front." ”

After Ning walked out of the backyard, she asked Cheng Kejia and said, "In this backyard, when the ancestors were here, they also planted the same vegetables?" ”

Cheng Kejia listened to her words, she thought about it and shook her head lightly and said, "I don't know, I never thought that my ancestors would ever grow vegetables." ”

The Ning family took a look at Cheng Kejia and smiled slightly, there are various legends about the old ancestor of the Cheng family in the capital.

The most mysterious rumor that Ning heard was that the ancestor of the Cheng family was a farmer, and the prosperous ancestor of the Cheng family was much more proficient in growing vegetables than reading.

After Ning and Cheng Fangzi settled on a family affair, she heard all kinds of secret legends about the Cheng family, and she quietly asked her grandmother for news.

After listening to the Ning family, the old lady of the Ning family shook her head with a smile and said, "The old ancestor of the Cheng family is a person who has been an official in the south, no matter how big or small the official is, at least he must be proficient in reading than he is in growing vegetables." ”

The old lady of the Ning family then sorted out the family style of the Ning family, and she said to the Ning family: "If you marry the Cheng family, you will be the wife of the Cheng family in the future. ”

The Ning family remembered the words of the old lady of the Ning family, the population of the Ning family is large, but there are no bad rumors outside the Ning family, precisely because the old lady of the Ning family is in charge of the family.

Ning's mother listened to what Ning said later, she sighed in her heart and said, "You, why bother to pay attention to those people's gossip, let it go, after a long time, they are not interesting to talk about." ”

Ning Shi disagreed: "Mother, I want to marry the Cheng family, and I will control the affairs of the inner house in the future, I can't let my mother's side arbitrarily do things that are not on the agenda."

As my grandmother said, it's an attitude, and I'm making my attitude clear to my family. If it's the truth, everyone will talk about it, and I have nothing to say.

But no matter what kind of gossip, the family spreads nonsense, then you can't let me know. ”
