Chapter 63: The Yamen
Mama Hu hurriedly handed a cup of medicinal tea to Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng drank the medicinal tea before she could barely suppress her anger, and her reason, which had been burned by anger, finally came back, she put down the teacup and sneered, "If Aunt Liu can't believe us, stay and wait with us, Master Hou will go to Aunt Hu's yard to rest first, and let the children ask you to say hello tomorrow." ”
Seeing that she couldn't provoke Mrs. Cheng again for the time being, Aunt Liu accepted it when she saw it, and stood up sadly, "Madame's words are serious, the concubine doesn't dare, the concubine will serve the Hou Ye to rest, and come back tomorrow to ask Mrs. for peace." ”
Cheng Ping was indeed tired from running all the way, thinking that he would have to ask Mrs. Cheng for peace tomorrow morning, he felt sleepy, and the three children had not returned for a long time, and in his opinion, it was not a big deal, so he didn't bother to worry about it, so he answered casually, turned around and went to Aunt Liu's yard.
Mrs. Cheng looked at his dusty back and snorted disdainfully, "I really think I am a god." ”
"Ma'am, why did you get so angry just now? Hou Ye's temperament, you don't know, we are women, say a few soft words, Hou Ye will not do anything, you have to screw with him, it is we who suffer, but we have cheapened that Aunt Liu for nothing. Mama Hu persuaded with a worried face.
"I knew in my heart that this was the case, but as soon as I saw that foxy man's style, the fire in my heart jumped straight up, and I couldn't suppress it no matter what." Mrs. Cheng stroked her chest, she was also a little strange, she and Cheng Ping have been married for many years, although the relationship is not harmonious, but she is not impulsive and irritable, and often plays some tricks to fight with Aunt Liu, but in the past year, she has become more and more unable to control her anger, as if there is an evil fire burning in her heart from time to time, so that she almost lost her mind, and when she came back to her senses, she realized what she said, fortunately, Cheng Chan and Mama Hu helped cover it up, otherwise this matter would really be troublesome.
"Ah Niang, is the medicine of the imperial doctor useless?" Cheng Qian also knew Mrs. Cheng's body, and immediately asked with concern, "Why don't you change the doctor and take a look?" ”
"The imperial doctor in the palace is already the best, he can't see it well, do you still expect the little doctors in those medical halls to see it well?" Mrs. Cheng waved her hand, not wanting her daughter to worry, "It's not a big deal left and right, I used to blindly forbear, so I got sick, and I was happy to spread the fire." Did you send someone out to find Ah Yuan and Ah Jin? ”
"I've already sent them to look for them," Cheng Chan sighed, "Ah Yuan and Ah Jin are both delicious, I'm afraid I'm going to the restaurant in Pingkangfang." ”
"If you send more people out to look for it, it's almost the second watch, and if you don't come back, you'll report to the official."
"Ah Niang, no, if you report to the official, this matter will be a big problem, the two boys are okay to say, Ah Jin is the girl's family......" Cheng Zhan immediately stopped Mrs. Cheng, "Not only don't report to the official, but it is inconvenient to publicize it in the house, Ah Jin's illness is just right, don't have any more rumors." ”
"Ah Jin, this kid is really messing around, what is a girl's family messing around with behind a boy?" Mrs. Cheng sighed, but in the end, she felt a little bit of pity for Cheng Jin, even if she complained, she didn't blame her, she was just worried that something would happen to her, although Cheng Mingyuan and Cheng Mingqi were boys, but after all, they were too young to protect her even if something happened.
"She has been detained in the house in the past, but now that she is well, it is natural for her to want to go outside." Cheng Chan didn't care less about Cheng Jin in private, but he spoke for her from time to time outside.
"I've been busy with the affairs of the house these days, and I can't tell the difference between taking her to Dajue Temple, and I'll take her there next time I go back to the market of Dajue Temple." Mrs. Cheng blamed herself a little, she said that she would take Cheng Jin to Dajue Temple to make incense, but Mrs. Cheng made such a fuss, and took Cheng Jin to Shangxiang to visit the market, so she could only push it back.
While he was talking, a mother-in-law from outside came anxiously to report, "Madam, there are people from the yamen outside who say they want to find you." ”
"Yamen? Which yamen? Mrs. Cheng was confused, but she was not too alarmed, after all, there was the queen mother in the palace, and they were not afraid of any yamen.
"It's so late, do you know what's going on?" Cheng Chan had a bad premonition in his heart.
"It's said that the three little sons of our family are in the yamen, so let people come and talk to us."
Cheng Jin went out disguised as a man, even if everyone knew her identity, but out of consideration for her name, she was still commensurate with her son-in-law, and the mother-in-law couldn't figure out which three little sons in the house were.
When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she fainted, and Mama Hu hurriedly pressed her to wake her up.
"What happened to Cheng Mingqi's evil beast and put my Ah Jin and Ah Yuan into the yamen?!" Mrs. Cheng gritted her teeth and said hatefully, her hatred for Aunt Liu, coupled with her complaints about Cheng Mingqi, made her eager to tear Cheng Mingqi alive.
"A-Niang, you rest at home first, and I'll go to the yamen to see the situation." Cheng Chan anxiously held Mrs. Cheng's hand, stabilizing his mind while taking care of his mother's emotions.
"You can't go." Mrs. Cheng held Cheng Chen's hand tightly, "Let Mama Hu go." ”
No matter what the yamen is, it is not a good place, most of the women were ruined when they entered the yamen's fame, and Cheng Chan had already lost her reputation because of the matter of King Qi's son, and she couldn't let her go out and show her face again.
"Okay, A-Niang, I'll accompany you at home." Cheng Qian didn't care about her reputation, the only thing she cared about was Mrs. Cheng, "Mama Hu, please go as soon as possible, bring the three of them back as soon as possible, remember to bring a few more people, if there is anything, send someone back to report the news as soon as possible." ”
"The old slave can save it."
Cheng Qian turned around to look at Mrs. Cheng, whose face was like gold paper, and after thinking for a while, he still poured out the medicinal tea in the teacup, and poured a cup of warm water for Mrs. Cheng, "Ah Niang, don't worry, Ah Jin and Ah Yuan will be fine, I think they ran into some case on the street, and asked them to go to the yamen to ask, otherwise the people from the yamen would not be so polite, and specially sent someone to tell us, even if something really happens, there is still the queen mother's aunt in the palace, and no one dares to do anything to us." ”
Mrs. Cheng thought about it and put her mind at ease, "Ah Yuan's child is indeed stubborn, but in the end he is still a child, he can't make any big waves, there are the most high-ranking officials and nobles in Pingkangfang, and there must be many people who know them, and the people in the yamen know that they are people from the Cheng'en Hou Mansion, so they will naturally treat each other with courtesy, the only thing I am worried about is Ah Jin's reputation, she is still young and well-born, I am afraid that someone will have bad intentions." I know that you are counting on Ah Jin to study and enter the profession in the future, but it is not easy for a woman to take this road, I think in my private heart, I still hope that she can marry and have children in peace. ”
