Chapter 475: Before Entering Beijing

Due to heavy snowfall, double happiness and the approaching New Year, the Cheng family began a ten-day act of kindness after the red jade wedding.

Rice noodles, oil and salt, pork...... More than a dozen charity offices were opened within a radius of several dozen miles.

Li Chun even added all the charity funds in the name of Cheng Ziyu before Cheng Ziyu's birthday. The officials of the Liangjiang Yamen held the silver tickets and laughed, Li Chun intentionally or unintentionally exerted some pressure, and lured the officials in charge to issue a procurement order in front of Li Chun with his political achievements and arranged it as soon as possible.

Thinking about promotion below, no matter how big the greed is, you can only let it go first.

On the way back, Li Chun deliberately ran to a few good halls, and only after confirming that the money was basically in place before leaving with peace of mind.

For a while, Cheng Ziyu and the Cheng family's reputation as good people and good masters became more and more prosperous, and blessings and praises also came one after another. Although the Cheng family is not even ranked in the top 30 in Jiangnan in terms of economic strength, it deserves to be the first in the hearts of many people in terms of its strength of doing good. Such a family naturally gained a lot of reputation as expected.

Li Chun also recognized Cheng Ziyu's previous thoughts, in fact, such a reputation is the most powerful umbrella for the Cheng family in the future. Even if you don't have a bright future ahead, even if you encounter a monstrous wave, even if you change the dynasty, even if you have trumped-up charges, you can at least offset the merits and demerits, at least have prestige in hand, and it is not a problem to save the lives of the whole clan......

After Li Chun left, Cheng Ziyu put most of his energy into his work.

The slackness of recent months has left her with a lot of work on hand.

Because of her status and fame, the price of her works is also rising, and almost every day, many merchants come to Cheng's house to buy her handicrafts.

Fortunately, in her previous life and this life, she didn't pay much attention to gold and silver, otherwise she couldn't take the snowflake-like order in front of her, and she was afraid that she would die.

She went back to the village again for "retreat" and devoted herself to her craft.

Recently, she has had more leisure and rest time, and she is full of inspiration, and she is almost doing more with less.

She first made a complete set of magnolia pottery decorations for Vinlan, and sent them to the capital as soon as she got out of the kiln.

On the day the fleet left, Vinland gave her a lot of things, and she didn't know the direction of her relationship with Vinlan in the future, so she had the right to return the favor.

Thinking that this set of things was given to the king of Joseon, Wenlan let her be in charge, and she took pity on Wenlan's situation, so she thought about it for free.

Although the Joseon King and his wife love Vinlan, but now Wenlan is like a waste, and the Joseon King will be disappointed somewhat. After a long time, I am afraid that that love will gradually be worn out. Vinland's life was already difficult, and without the support of her mother country, her life would be hopeless.

So Cheng Ziyu made a complete set of magnolia shaped ceramics. Not only because the Koreans have always loved magnolias, but also to remind the Joseon king that there is another orchid they love the most......

And Cheng Ziyu's busyness does not mean that she is negligent with other people and things.

She has always paid attention to her father Cheng Rui.

When the southern patrol team arrived at Jingxi, Cheng Rui had a lot of jumping.

Recently, however, he had suddenly changed.

He spends most of his time in the house, only occasionally going out for a drink with a few old friends. He no longer spoke of buying and selling, nor of silver, nor of great joy and sorrow.

For Hongyu's wedding, Li Chun's visit and Ziyu's harmony, although he was not as happy as He's, he still showed some joy and would say a few words of blessings.

He's also been walking around the workshop lately. In the past, his craftsmanship was very good, although it was deserted, but the foundation was still there. In the past few days, he found a spare workshop in the workshop, sat for a few hours a day, and made a lot of things out......

Cheng Hui looked at the eldest son's works sent by the people now, and secretly said that in a short period of time, his craftsmanship has recovered to seventy or eighty percent of many years ago.

But so what?

The old man didn't see any waves on his face.

If this was ten years ago, Cheng Yi would probably be grateful. But in this situation, what Cheng Rui is, for him, for the Cheng family, is meaningless.

His body is still tough, and he can still dominate the overall situation of the Cheng family. The Cheng family's craftsmanship has purple jade to inherit, and he is very relieved. He has seen several of Ziyu's recent finished products, and he has improved a lot. The granddaughter was not agitated by the promotion of status, which made him feel relieved.

In terms of trading, the third son, Cheng Ming, has been able to handle affairs with ease after nearly half a year of training. In addition, the Cheng family also has the support of the royal family, the imperial court and Li Chun, and Cheng Rui's value is naturally weakened.

What kind of eldest son of a long house, if you don't have it......

For the old man, as long as this rebel does his duty, he should only be an idler. If his son wants to regain his skills, he is also welcome. He will give Cheng Rui the most room to play and let him try to prove his worth.

However, if this guy still wants to get involved in the Cheng family's business and future, it is never imagined!

Cheng Ziyu and He are also confused about Cheng Rui, and they can't get close to Cheng Rui.

Cheng Rui's temperament has really changed? But he's clearly not that kind of person.

So is this a posturing to win sympathy? Or is there another reason?

……

On the other hand, the relationship between Hongyu and He Sijing after marriage has reached a higher level.

used to be happy enemies, and they had to make a fuss when they had anything to do, but after marriage, the two of them were in honey, and their eyes were full of envy for the tenderness of others.

On the day of the New Year, Cheng Hongyu returned to her parents' house, and Cheng Ziyu had time to look for her in the afternoon. As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw a dazzling scene. The two of them were hugging behind the flowers and trees as if no one was around, holding a sweet white porcelain bowl, you take a bite and I take a bite, it is sticky, I am afraid that even the rice balls in the bowl will sigh to themselves......

Hongyu used to blush at Cheng Ziyu's jokes, but recently she has been cheeky, and from time to time she will fight back with some meat words, which has the intention of watching her and Li Chun's good show.

Cheng Ziyu was happy when she saw Hongyu, and her heart was also happy, according to the visual inspection of the two of them like glue, probably soon, her generation will grow another round, right?

……

In addition to studying hard, Cheng Zinuo still ran to Jiang's Mansion for three days. He and Jiang Yuxuan would meet by chance from time to time, and the number of chance encounters increased. It is said that when the two of them meet recently, they will accidentally blush......

He did notice the Jiang family's excessive etiquette that day, and also heard that his son had been running to the Jiang family frequently recently. But whether the son was trying to ask Jiang Yuanwai or sneak up on Miss Jiang, He was not sure.

She took advantage of the return of the gift and personally went to Jiang's house.

Mrs. Jiang was particularly enthusiastic, called Jiang Yuxuan out to salute, and praised Cheng Zinuo again and again.

He was also born in a scholarly family, so he was naturally satisfied with Jiang Yuxuan's elegance. Seeing that this girl was still a little arrogant in her reasoning, she was even more happy in her heart.

The two ladies drank an afternoon tea with understanding, and each knocked on the side, and did not pick anything.

After going back, he heard that Jiang Yuxuan had an old illness, and He began to worry again.

The eldest son, Mu Ne, has no enthusiasm for anything other than painting. If the second daughter-in-law is not in good health, when will she be able to hold her grandson?

Knowing that Cheng Ziyu and Jiang Yuxuan were close, He personally looked for his daughter. Cheng Ziyu didn't try his best to promote it, and only said the imperial doctor's words about Jiang Yuxuan's need for conditioning as they were.

He was relieved, and when he had tea with Mrs. Jiang again, he revealed that his son was admitted to the academy.

The other party was very understanding and expressed his support......

Subsequently, the matter was put on hold.

He planned to wait for his son to finish the exam before asking his son's meaning......

Mrs. Lin returned to Shu after participating in Cheng Ziyu and the ceremony. She will also enter Beijing next year, and she made an appointment with Cheng Ziyu to meet in Beijing at that time......

Wang Yue has been staying at home since that appearance.

Her abacus is excellent, and after attaching herself to Cheng Ziyu, the Queen Mother seems to care a little more about her. On that day, after the Queen Mother gave a gift to Hongyu Ziyu, she also sent some tonic to Wang Yue. The chamberlain in the palace obeyed the order of the Queen Mother and personally looked at Wang Yue's big belly, and told her to raise the fetus with peace of mind first......

The reward and reward after the Wang family took over also arrived, as Wang Yue had expected before, there were 5,000 taels of silver. The silver was sent directly to the Jingxi Wang's family, and it had nothing to do with Zhu Chang'an......

It's Wei Zhixian, the recent tail is about to go to the sky, and even the Wang family no longer cares about it.

It's just because Wei Hong is quite favored in front of Zhu Changjue. Regarding this point, Wei Zhixian is also a little confused. In fact, he didn't quite understand what the shrewd prince had taken a fancy to his stupid daughter?

But in fact, Wei Hong did not only follow Zhu Changjue as a concubine that day, but also went down to Zhejiang with the fleet, and then received a lot of rewards from Zhu Changjue, and every few days, he could also send letters and gifts back through Zhu Changjue's channels......

If this is not a pet, what is it?

Compared with Wang Yue's vigorous use of silver for Zhu Changan, Wei Zhixian felt that his daughter was still stupid.

Moreover, there is still a faint pride in the letter written by her daughter to her wife, saying that in recent times, Zhu Changjue has served her almost every night. said that the relationship between the two of them was very good, although Zhu Changjue scolded her for being stupid every day, she was always angry with her. And Zhu Changjue promised her that as long as she could get pregnant, she would be accepted as a side concubine.

Side concubine! The side concubine of the eldest prince is many times more advanced than Wang Yue, who has fallen out of favor! The future is much brighter!

Every word Wei Hong wrote was full of pride, dreaming that she had reached a high position, after all, if she sows seeds frequently, pregnancy will be just around the corner......

When these messages reached Wang Yue's ears, they naturally made Wang Yue even more flustered.

Wang Yue couldn't help but sneer.

Wei Hong is afraid that he is not crazy, right? Are the children of those princes so easy to conceive? Will Zhu Changjue let her live? Have one's head in the clouds!

Wang Yue believes that even if they sleep for ten years, Wei Hong's stomach will not move!

Not to mention the treacherous like Zhu Changjue, even Zhu Changan, if it wasn't for his many plans that day, it would be impossible to conceive a child. If it weren't for the fact that he almost lost his life for Zhu Chang'an's knife, it would be even more unlikely that he would be able to sit in the position of concubine.

However, what exactly is the merit of Wei Hong?

It can't be true love, right?

Wang Yue had a headache and was even more afraid.

Wang and Wei's two families were in the same spirit, and the two families originally coveted Zhu Chang'an's status as the prince and wanted to get rid of it, so she and Wei Hong went to fight for the throne.

But after those days in the capital and so many things on the southern tour, Wang Yue has regretted it to the extreme, and is annoyed that he should not have let go of the peaceful days, but he has contaminated the royal family.

At this moment, she didn't know how to get rid of Zhu Chang'an's relationship to protect the Wang family to the greatest extent, but the Wei family also climbed up to Zhu Changjue, who was more dangerous than Zhu Chang'an, which made Wang Yue feel a little frightened every night, lest she was accidentally dragged into the tiger's den just out of the wolf's den.

In this situation, she is also more determined that she must give birth to this child and must quickly find a strong backer. The Queen Mother, there is only the Queen Mother! She must do her best to seek the protection of the Queen Mother.

Only in that way, in case Zhu Changjue came by calculation, in case she wanted to borrow someone's hand, and in case she planned to pull someone's family as a backing, she could also try her best to protect herself and her family with the royal blood in her hands......

Thinking too much and the bad fetal image made Wang Yue's body never adjust. Although the doctors kept the child, they could not guarantee that the child was not deficient, which made Wang Yue more anxious and his physical condition worsened......

The old man had an idea, and when the marriage between Ziyu and Li Chun was decided, he had already sent the housekeeper around him to the capital. The Cheng family has a house in the capital, so they naturally have to pick it up quickly.

First, Ziyu wants to live in Beijing, and secondly, after the Cheng family has more royal relations, the movement of the capital will become frequent.

The location of the house is good, and Cheng Yi originally planned to marry Cheng Ziyu.

But Cheng Ziyu insisted that it was the foothold of all the Cheng family in the capital and refused to ask for it.

Cheng Yi thought about it and gave up.

But he still asked his henchmen to find a house near the old house, planning to buy a place for his granddaughter to marry a house. Cheng Ziyu refused, thinking that it was unnecessary, but he couldn't stand the old man's insistence, so he had to go to ......

As for the old mansion, it will be the face of the Cheng family and Li Chun in the future, and it will also be the place where Cheng Ziyu got married. With a wave of his hand, Cheng Hui allocated thousands of taels and began to transform in full swing......

Half a month after Li Chun left, that is, on Chinese New Year's Eve, someone came to the palace.

The wedding date is set.

The wedding date originally scheduled for May was brought forward by more than two months - the third day of the third month of March, that is, Li Chun's 22nd birthday.

The father-in-law who announced the decree was very polite and brought Li Chun's letter.

In the letter, in addition to expressing her thoughts, it is naturally an urge for her to enter Beijing quickly.

The general was very anxious, and on the day he arrived in Beijing, he personally ran to the Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Rites, and brought a few good days under the Qin Tianjian to find the emperor. With just a cup of tea, the day was set. ”

The father-in-law covered his mouth and was happy.

"The slave was urged by the general to come over non-stop, and on the day of departure, the slave went to the general's mansion first, and our general actually supervised the work in the back garden himself. It can be seen that the general is waiting for the county lord to enter Beijing. The county lord is a great blessing! ”

Everyone in the Cheng family laughed, and Cheng Ziyu was dragged by Hongyu to make fun of her, saying that someone was waiting for rain in the desert, and they were all looking forward to it.

After Mr. Cheng found someone to pinch the day, he chose a few departure dates for Cheng Ziyu. Cheng Zinuo's exam was set for the twelfth, Cheng Ziyu was worried in her heart, and she also wanted to accompany her family to leave after the Shangyuan period, and finally set the day of entering Beijing on the twentieth day of the first month.

The father-in-law got the letter, and after only one meal, he was in a hurry to leave for Beijing.

The Cheng family kept people, but the father-in-law smiled and pushed: "The general is waiting for news!" ”

He prepared a large table of meals and sent them to the carriage, and Cheng Ziyu also sent letters to the Queen Mother and Li Chun respectively......
