Chapter 51: Vision
"A-Niang, it's not worth being angry about such a trivial matter, didn't Imperial Doctor Jiang say it? The most taboo thing you need now is to move your liver and fire, and you can get better by calming and carefully recuperating on weekdays. Cheng Chan persuaded softly.
Mama Hu brought another bowl of medicinal tea to Mrs. Cheng, "What Sister Chan said is that it is not worth it to be angry because of the popularity of those villains outside, and it is not worth being angry with these slaves in the house." ”
Mrs. Cheng took the medicinal tea and took a few sips slowly before letting go of the anger in her heart, Mama Hu glanced at Cheng Zhan, signaled her to comfort Mrs. Cheng, and retreated silently.
"I'm not here for you!" Mrs. Cheng said angrily, "You are sixteen, this family matter can't be delayed, I wanted to pick on you well, but now that this matter is out, people know that you and the prince of Qi are nothing, and those noble people will also be hindered by people's words." ”
Mrs. Cheng came out of such a scholarly family that paid attention to the style of the door, before she got married, Cheng Ping had a romantic affair, she was arrogant and arrogant, she was unwilling to marry the Cheng family, but her parents felt that they were married, she was the Cheng family, like them, a family with a clean style, advocating that a daughter should not marry twice, no matter what happened to the other party, there was no possibility of regretting the marriage, and completely cut off her mind.
Although there are not many people in this part of the stubborn Shilin, they have become more and more able to speak in the court over the years, and the people who were not very strict with these rules will be more or less affected, pay more attention to the reputation of women, and even take pride in picking on each other.
In the past few days, several ladies who value Cheng Chan and intend to marry Cheng Enhou Mansion have politely rejected her post, and she still feels strange, but now she knows that it is because of this kind of incident.
"It's not a good match if you retreat, just ignore it, is it possible that A-Niang is still worried that I won't be able to get married?" Cheng Chan smiled indifferently, as always, he didn't take the marriage to heart.
"I'm not worried that you won't be able to get married," Mrs. Cheng looked at her daughter, who was both good-looking and had a steady and dignified temperament, and it was more than enough for Cheng Chan's appearance and temperament to marry into a family as a clan wife, but she was tired by this matter, "I'm just worried that you will marry unsatisfactory." ”
"Isn't marrying someone like that, who is not marrying? What's not going to be as good as that? Cheng Chan smiled indifferently, but he was very free and easy, "It's nothing more than a husband and children, filial piety to in-laws, and presiding over the feed, no matter what kind of family you go to, it's the same life, A-Niang doesn't have to worry about me." ”
Mrs. Cheng looked at her like this, and didn't know how to respond to her for a while, and her heart was even more panicked, obviously she was such a good girl, but she seemed to have no hope for marriage, she was not shy or expectant, let alone had a favorite sweetheart, "You are young, why do you think so?" ”
Cheng Chan smiled slightly, and didn't want to continue the topic, "Ah Niang, I just wanted to talk to you about Diao Nu who was talking nonsense in the house." ”
"What's wrong?"
"The people in our house have always been lenient and strict, and they are usually quite well-behaved and measured, but why are the rumors of King Qi's son spreading in our mansion? I'm worried that someone with a heart is instigating behind me, and this group of people in the house should take a good look. ”
Mrs. Cheng muttered, "I also have this intention, I'm afraid that your second aunt is making a ghost behind, she can't see us well, she has money in her hand, and money can make ghosts grind, and nine times out of ten she instigated it." ”
"Whether it's her or not, you'll find out if you look it up, maybe someone is hiding deeper."
"You mean your third aunt? I don't think she's a good thing, I know that I'm selling in front of the old lady, and I'm really going to run faster than anyone else......"
Mrs. Cheng was also a talented girl back then, but she was in the back house all day long, her vision was limited, and it was the mother-in-law and mother in the back house who went around, Cheng Zhan felt a little cold in her heart, if she had been in the past, she might not have felt anything, but she had been with Cheng Jin for a long time, as if she had been opened a window, and her vision was different from the past, and she began to fear the days of her future predicament.
"Ah Niang, check the affairs of those slaves, and leave them to me and Ah Jin, okay?"
"Ah Jin?" Mrs. Cheng was stunned for a moment, "She's still young......"
Mrs. Cheng has absolute trust in Cheng Chen's talent, but Cheng Jin is only eleven years old, not only is she young, she has always been stupid before, and she has never tried to be a director, she thought about it again, "It's okay, you take her, and let her see how to be a director, she is young, you teach slowly." ”
Cheng Chan smiled, "Ah Niang, don't underestimate Ah Jin too much, I also want to tell you about Ah Jin." ”
"What's wrong with Ah Jin?" Mrs. Cheng was most nervous about the affairs of her children, and when she heard this, she immediately cheered up.
"I remember that Master Yuanming said that Ah Jin is a great ......."
Mrs. Cheng waved her hand, "Master Yuanming actually didn't say that, he only said that Ah Jin has lost his soul, and if there is a chance, the lost soul will come back by itself......"
Mrs. Cheng paused and swallowed the second half of the sentence that came to her lips.
Cheng Chan didn't continue to dwell on this sentence, in her opinion, there is no difference between organic fate and creation, "Ah Jin is different from ordinary daughters, she is too smart, even the gentleman in the clan also said that she is a natural reading material, and she has the ability to never forget, if she is trapped in the inner house like ordinary daughters, it would be a pity." ”
Mrs. Cheng pressed her temples, "Why haven't I thought about what you said?" Let me think about it again. ”
She naturally knows that Cheng Jin is smart, but in fact, her expectations for Cheng Jin and Cheng Chan have always been different.
Cheng Jin is the eldest daughter, a role model for her younger siblings in the family, she has been very calm and sensible since she was a child, and she has always raised her to the path of everyone's ladies, and Cheng Jin is not only a young daughter, but also stupid since childhood, not to mention that it is a model in the boudoir, but I am afraid that it is very difficult in marriage, and I don't expect her to marry into a big family as a clan woman like Cheng Chan, it is really not possible, and it is good to stay at home for a lifetime.
In this case, if Cheng Jinruo is really a piece of reading material, it is not impossible to send her to study and take the female official examination, but the reputation of those women who study and enter the ranks is really not good, and the reputation is to follow the woman for a lifetime, sacrificing the happiness of her life in exchange for fame and fortune, she is really reluctant.
Seeing that Mrs. Cheng's attitude had loosened, Cheng Chan was determined to take advantage of the situation to let her relax, and added a fire in a timely manner, telling Mrs. Cheng about the previous discussion with Cheng Jin about Enke.
Mrs. Cheng gasped, "Did she really say that?" ”
Cheng Chan nodded solemnly, "I don't think I have this knowledge, if it weren't for Ah Jin, the child would never have thought of this section, although she is greedy and lazy on weekdays, her mind is very transparent." ”
