Chapter 155: The Great Disaster of the Cheng Family (1)
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Ruoyun was also happy in the house, Cheng Ruoyun was in good health today, and it was rare that Cheng Ruohan was in a good mood, the two brothers finished eating in Mrs. Cheng's Shi'an Pavilion, and they stayed here with great interest to talk to Mrs. Cheng.
Originally, everything was fine, Cheng Ruohan also brought some fireworks back, and just waited for the fireworks in the imperial city to start setting off, and then lit them, but when the fireworks began to be set off in the imperial city, and the old and young people in the Cheng Mansion went out to watch the fireworks, the atmosphere was different.
Mrs. Cheng is well-informed, Cheng Ruoyun and Cheng Ruohan are also full of poetry and books, and they both found out at a glance that the flying dragon fireworks are different, and they are all shocked in their hearts, and they have no heart to watch the fireworks set off at home later.
Although Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Ruoyun were very concerned about the fireworks, they both had a tacit understanding to avoid talking about it, and they had been talking about other things since returning to the Shi'an Pavilion, but Cheng Ruohan was like ashes, sweating profusely, and he couldn't hear what he said at all.
"Ruohan, Ruohan?"
"Ahh Cheng Ruohan came back to his senses and pursed his dry lips nervously: "Grandma, what's the matter?" ”
Mrs. Cheng frowned worriedly and asked, "What's wrong with you?" An absent-minded look. ”
Cheng Ruoyun also noticed that Cheng Ruohan was wrong since he watched the fireworks, and his face was even worse as if he had suddenly suffered from some illness.
Cheng Ruohan picked up the teacup and took a sip in disguise: "It's okay, maybe I've been a little tired recently." ”
"You don't know what you've been doing lately, you're always running out." Mrs. Cheng said and said to Cheng Ruoyun: "You are an elder brother, have you taken good care of your younger brother?" ”
Cheng Ruoyun knew that Cheng Ruohan had been very close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently, and also guessed that the business of the Jade Pavilion might have Cheng Ruohan's guidance, but Cheng Ruohan's foundation was clear, and he didn't think that Cheng Ruohan would be of much help to His Royal Highness the Prince.
But hearing Mrs. Cheng speak like this, Cheng Ruoyun still responded: "Grandma said yes." ”
Cheng Ruohan listened to the conversation between Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Ruoyun in a trance, and couldn't help but seize the pause in the middle and asked, "Grandma, the fireworks that were set off in the imperial city just now——"
"Ahem." Before Cheng Ruohan finished speaking, Mrs. Cheng interrupted him by clearing her throat and glanced at the people around her.
Seeing this, Cheng Ruoyun made the decision to let all the servants withdraw.
Seeing that there were only three ancestors and grandchildren left in the room, Mrs. Cheng lowered her voice and said, "Ruohan, you must not talk about this matter in front of others. ”
Cheng Ruohan smiled dryly and nodded: "Sun Er understands." The grandson just didn't know that this kind of problem had happened to the royal fireworks, and he didn't know what the result would be. ”
Cheng Ruoyun glanced at Cheng Ruohan lightly.
Normal people feel very strange about Cheng Ruohan's words. He wondered, shouldn't the royal fireworks have such a problem?
"Hmm." Mrs. Cheng pondered for a moment and said: "Usually there is something wrong with the royal items, which is nothing more than the confiscation of the exclusive merchant's property, and the person in charge will naturally deal with it according to the size of the problem, but today's fireworks ...... It's not trivial, there are python robes in the court now, it's nothing more than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Jue, this matter is ......" Speaking of this, Mrs. Cheng sighed and said: "It's because the royal special thing can be big or small, your grandfather only set up family rules back then, and the Cheng family will never touch this piece of business." ”
Cheng Ruohan's face became more and more difficult to look at when he heard this, and there were signs of two wars. He stood up abruptly, rubbed his hands very nervously and said, "Grandma, I'm ...... Grandson, I-"
"Ruohan." Cheng Ruoyun immediately took up and interrupted Cheng Ruohan's words, and pretended to help each other at the right time, but actually stopped him from kneeling: "Aren't you tired?" Let's go back and rest today. ”
Cheng Ruohan originally wanted to tell everything and seek help from Mrs. Cheng, but was interrupted by Cheng Ruohan, and turned his head to look at it with some dissatisfaction, but he didn't want to look back at Cheng Ruoyun with his eyes and signaled him not to continue, and his hand was gradually exerting force.
Cheng Ruoyun has concluded that the royal fireworks that happened today are related to Cheng Ruohan, Mrs. Cheng is old, and Cheng Ruoyun has never wanted her to be disturbed by some chaotic things. Some time ago, Cheng Ruohan and Bai Shuangshuang broke off their marriage, Mrs. Cheng was sad for a long time, and finally recovered a little recently.
Old Mrs. Cheng didn't notice the undercurrent surging between the two brothers, but nodded approvingly: "Yes, Ruohan, I see that your face is different, you can go back and rest first." ”
Cheng Ruohan wanted to say something, but Cheng Ruoyun had already taken the lead in saying to Mrs. Cheng: "Grandma, I'll send Ruohan back, you can rest early." ”
"Hey, okay, go ahead, you remember to drink the medicine."
"Yes, Grandma."
Cheng Ruoyun semi-forcibly took Cheng Ruohan out of the Shi'an Pavilion, Cheng Ruohan could only endure this, and as soon as he went out, he immediately shook Cheng Ruoyun's hand away, and said with embarrassment: "You know? ”
Cheng Ruoyun glanced at Cheng Ruohan lightly, and said softly: "Go to my study to talk." ”
Although Cheng Ruohan said that he was unwilling, he also knew that Cheng Ruoyun had some means, and maybe he could really help him, so he followed half-pushed.
Cheng Ruoyun's study was the same as his room, as soon as he opened the door, he could smell a lingering medicinal fragrance left by him, Cheng Ruohan wiped the tip of his nose in disgust, and found a chair to sit down.
"You should know everything, and I won't beat around the bush. Say, what can you do? ”
Cheng Ruoyun hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly, sat opposite Cheng Ruohan, and said, "I don't know what you said, what is it?" Is there anything I should know? ”
Cheng Ruohan frowned and said, "I know the Cheng family's news network, you don't have to be so vague, you should also know that if this matter is not handled well, the Cheng family will also have difficulties." ”
Cheng Ruoyun picked up the teacup in front of him, looked at Cheng Ruohan in front of him, and said, "It seems that you are really welcome, your mother really raised you too well, and it is too deserved." Cheng Ruoyun snorted, and without waiting for Cheng Ruohan to speak, he continued to ask: "Where did you get the money for your business?" ”
opened his mouth to ask how to get the capital to do business, and Cheng Ruohan was sure that Cheng Ruoyun really knew. He turned his head impatiently and replied: "You don't care where I got my money, just say whether you have anything to do?" ”
Cheng Ruoyun frowned and said, "You hide everything from me, how can I help you?" You also know the seriousness of this matter, if you are still unwilling to confess, do you want the entire Cheng family to be buried with you? ”
As soon as the word "funeral" came out, Cheng Ruohan immediately stood up as if he was frightened, wanted to return the mouth but didn't know how to speak, thinking of his friendship with the crown prince Li Yuanyi, and thinking of the five four-clawed flying dragons that jumped in the sky tonight, he hesitated for a moment, sat back again, and said vaguely: "Yes...... Madame White gave me the money to buy shares. ”
