Mrs. Cheng was stunned, a box of cakes was not worth much, but every time she went out, she never thought about bringing something back to her mother-in-law who was out of tune.

Although she doesn't like her mother-in-law, and she can't do anything to her, she is always uncomfortable when she is sneeringly targeted.

"Do you think A-Niang is useless?" Mrs. Cheng smiled bitterly, she is the daughter of the family, she was born in a scholarly family, the most important rules, married to the Chengenhou Mansion for so many years, she has never been able to stand their "uninhibited" style, and no one in the house can get along, she doesn't look down on them, they don't like her, although she relies on a strong temperament to firmly control the affairs of the house, but no matter how much she pays, she can't end up good, Mrs. Cheng has never treated her with a good face, this day is not as comfortable as Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng San.

"If there was no Auntie, this family would have been scattered a long time ago, how could Auntie be arrogant?" Cheng Jin thought about it with a smile, "It's just that A-Niang is too upright and not good at pleasing her grandmother." ”

The corners of Mrs. Cheng's lips are slightly hooked, she is not bad at it, but more disdainful, she has never looked down on her husband and mother-in-law, where will she be willing to take care of their preferences and please them?

When Mrs. Cheng entered the door, although the Cheng family was not yet the Chengenhou Mansion, the King of Anjun had already ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, and everyone was too late to welcome the Cheng family.

And her father was the commander of Ruyang County, and he was born as a Jinshi, but Lao Chengenhou was just a warden in Ruyang County, and later her father offended people in the prefect of Anzhou, went to prison, and almost lost his life.

At that time, neither King Anjun nor Lao Chengenhou had ever been noble, but they could help each other so righteously, and their family naturally regarded King Anjun and Lao Chengenhou as life-savers.

So Lao Cheng Enhou took a fancy to her as a daughter-in-law, and only mentioned it briefly, her parents did not hesitate to marry her to Cheng Ping, Cheng Ping was born with a good appearance, and she was also a very elegant person, not to mention her parents, even if she only saw one side, she was also very satisfied.

Lao Cheng Enhou is not a scholar, he can only be a pawn for the rest of his life, even if Cheng Xiang becomes the concubine of the county king because of his meritorious son, he can't change his background, and he can marry the daughter of the Jinshi family for the eldest son, for their family, it is no less than Cheng Xiang being the concubine of the county king.

Before getting married, Cheng Ping drank wine in the flower building, sang and sang poetry with the Oiran lady, and it was passed on as a "good story", Cheng Ping was quite complacent about his name as the first romantic genius in Ruyang, but he didn't think that what he did completely broke the heart of his fiancée to be married.

"At that time, I had the heart of regretting marriage." Mrs. Cheng's eyes were dim, this was the first time she mentioned the past in front of her children, "Your grandfather and grandmother reprimanded me, saying that how can a man not look for flowers and ask willows?" It is a good thing for your father to be favored by the Oiran, and to be a wise wife and not to disgrace them. ”

Cheng Jin's maternal grandfather has passed away, the eldest uncle served in the Hanlin Courtyard in the capital, and the maternal grandmother and the little uncle's family still live in the ancestral house in Ruyang.

Mrs. Cheng's life after marriage is not good, and she may not have no complaints about her mother's family, especially her parents, but she doesn't dare to say it, but the Liu family is better than the Cheng family, and her time in the Liu family's boudoir is the happiest and carefree years of her life, but unfortunately now she can only remember with complaints.

"his virtuous generosity, only those self-proclaimed Sven scum like to run to the land of fireworks all day long, and sing and make peace with the women who can't wait for the stage." Mrs. Cheng snorted, "Which of those officials who have serious official positions go to that kind of place?" ”

Mrs. Cheng didn't shy away from talking about these things in front of her unmarried daughter, she was not an ordinary boudoir woman, otherwise she would not have been able to teach a deviant daughter like Cheng Cheng Jin.

"They don't dare to go."

According to the law of the Great Liang, except for official business, officials are not allowed to set foot in the land of fireworks, otherwise they will be discovered by the Yushitai and will definitely be impeached and disgraced.

At that time, Cheng Ping was just an ordinary student, naturally not within the constraints of this ban, in fact, the Qinglou of Daliang was also doing their young students, gentlemen and businessmen's wealthy business, the Oiran ladies were carefully trained, very knowledgeable, love talent not money, those who disdain businessmen to spend a lot of money, but prefer talented beauties, are often more sought after by guests, and those students are also proud to be favored by Oiran, over time, The students sang and sang the poems and texts of the Oiran girls and became an elegant trend.

Especially in the past ten years, the ban on officials not being allowed to set foot in the land of fireworks has long been in vain, after all, the adults in the seats now have also grown up chasing these oiran girls back then.

"I've made trouble a few times, but in the end I still cherish this life, it's not easy for people to live a lifetime, what's more important than living well?" Mrs. Cheng laughed at herself, "These are the words of a little beggar I met in Ruyang back then, he is not very old, but his limbs are broken, and his appearance is ruined, it is hard to imagine that such a person can survive, but even so, he is still struggling to survive." At that time, I thought, even such a person is thinking about living, what qualifications do I have to talk about life and death? Ah Jin, we can't be safe and smooth in this life, there will always be a lot of unsatisfactory, and even make you want to die immediately, but there is no pass in the world that you can't pass, and many things feel like you can't get through at that time, but you grit your teeth, endure it, and then look back, it's actually not a big deal. ”

In the eyes of Liu Fanghua, a sixteen-year-old girl to be married, marrying a prodigal son like Cheng Ping is tantamount to the sky falling, but in the eyes of today's Mrs. Cheng Liu, as long as people don't fall, the sky will never fall.
