Chapter 61: marriage

"Zhai Yanlin?" Cheng Yujin raised his eyebrows in surprise, and asked, "How did Jiu Shu ask him?"
Cheng Yuanjing looked at the slowly stretched tea leaves in the tea cup, his tone was bland, and he didn't care at all: "Just ask casually."
Cheng Yujin did n’t know why Cheng Yuanjing suddenly asked Zhai Yanlin. She followed the principle of prudent words and deeds, and the wording was well-formed: "Cai Guogong is brave and warlike, and he is a rare talent. He is a rare talent for the country. Loyalty is really a blessing for me and the people. "
Cheng Yujin secretly said that Cheng Yuanjing had never mentioned Zhai Yanlin before. After speaking with Zhai Yanlin alone, she came over and asked her what she thought of Zhai Yanlin. Depending on the situation, it is likely that Zhai Yanlin's conversational momentum attracted Cheng Yuanjing's attention, and Cheng Yuanjing moved on the idea of ​​reuse, so she came to ask her what she thought of Zhai Yanlin.
No matter whether it is in the future or now, Cheng Yuanjing needs to absorb manpower and recruit talents. Since it is the person valued by His Royal Highness, can Cheng Yujin say that the other party is not good? Even if it was only five points, Cheng Yujin had to say eight points, and the remaining two points left.
Cheng Yujin thought that speculation was in place, but strangely, after she finished, Cheng Yuanjing's face became colder. Cheng Yujin is strange, what is going on? Could it be that Cheng Yuanjing taboos on party privatization and doesn't want her to say that the other party is good?
Cheng Yujin couldn't really guess Cheng Yuanjing's thoughts. He didn't dare to express his position at once, but asked tentatively: "I don't understand military affairs. These words are what I heard from my elders. What did Jiu Shu ask about this?"
Cheng Yuanjing was holding a blue-glazed porcelain cup, his eyes slightly empty. He found that he was getting narrower and narrower. He could make sure that Zhai Yanlin wouldn't bother Cheng Yujin again, but as soon as he turned around, he began to suffer. No matter how much he said to Zhai Yanlin, it could not be changed. The Cai Guo Mansion was indeed very attractive to the Cheng family.
Although it is a successor, after all, it is Mrs. Guo Yujin, what does Cheng Yujin think about it? She is clear and ambitious about her future goals. Will she not care about becoming a successor at all, but rather prefer the noble and powerful platform of Cai Guogong?
Cheng Yuanjing didn't know, so he was halfway away, and he turned back in a miserable way, and asked Cheng Yujin in a roundabout way, what do you think of Zhai Yanlin?
Before Cheng Yujin exited, he already had the expected answer in his heart. Unfortunately, what Cheng Yujin said was far from his expectations. Cheng Yuanjing was a little disappointed. If this disappointment came quickly and strongly, he didn't know that he was expecting Cheng Yujin's denial.
Cheng Yuanjing himself wondered what happened to him. Obviously, he has got the answer, but he still feels like he was deceiving himself, and he thinks maybe Cheng Yujin didn't understand his question. This never happened in Cheng Yuanjing's past life. Cheng Yuanjing knew at an early age that he would not leave him with any affection. He had long removed his emotions such as weakness and luck.
But at this moment, Cheng Yuanjing stopped and asked again: "If he doesn't care about his merits, what about him alone?"
Cheng Yujin thought, indeed, His Royal Highness Prince intended to reuse Cai Guogong's mansion. She sighed in her heart. His Royal Highness valued Lin Qingyuan and Cheng Yujin had nothing to say, but valued Zhai Yanlin, was it worthless?
She really feels that Cai Guogong's government is not much different from their Cheng family. Looking at the heirs they brought up, Zhai Qing and Cheng Enbao are prodigal things. Cai Guogong's government is not as good as their Yichun Hou government. Prince His Royal Highness Cai Guogong's Mansion, why not want to mention Yichun Hou Mansion?
Cheng Yujin sighed in his heart, but on the surface he still had to pretend to smile, praising the superior's choice: "Nine Uncle's eyes are like a torch. Of course, the people you like are all dragons and phoenixes."
Cheng Yuanjing had been paying attention to Cheng Yujin's change of expression. He noticed a slight reluctance on Cheng Yujin's face and immediately asked: "I have nothing to say. I don't like others cheating me."
Cheng Yujin sighed and said, "Okay. Uncle Ji, I said something unpleasant. Of course, Cai Guogong himself is of great merit and of great bravery, but when it comes to Cai Guogongfu's son, it is really ... . "
Cheng Yuanjing thought deeply of Zhai Qing, and felt the same way. A person's ability to manage both inside and outside is interlinked. If the high-ranking officials abroad are very vigorous and popular, but they can't understand the right and wrong of their homes, they can't tell the right and wrong of their wives and concubines, and even they can't discipline their sons. Zhai Qing was taught that way. It is true that the birth mother died prematurely and the grandmother conned, but at the root, the father Zhai Yanlin was incompetent.
Although Zhai Qing could n’t be disciplined because she was dominated by her grandmother, Mrs. Zhai is Zhai Qing ’s grandmother, is n’t she also Zhai Yanlin ’s mother? Mrs. Zhai is right and wrong, and Zhai Yanlin can be better. The old man is old-fashioned, his emotions are fragile, and he can't bear to blame the children. Could it be that Zhai Yanlin couldn't bear it? Mrs. Zhai has the appearance of today, and Zhai Yanlin is inseparable from him.
From the family education, we can see that in fact Zhai Yanlin is a very arrogant and stubborn person.
Seeing that Cheng Yuanjing did not mean to refute, Cheng Yujin boldly continued: "Children can still be ignorant, but adults can't escape from the children's development in this direction. I saw Cai Guogong last time and found Cai Guogong Although nominally strict discipline of the world, but he will only scold, the rest did not have the patience, and even pushed all his son upbringing to the inner house. Mrs. Cai Guogong passed away last year, only Mrs. Zhai, the old house, only said nothing. Mrs. Guo Gong is alive, and Shi Zi has become what she is today. Isn't it the fault of Mrs. Guo Gong? "
Cheng Yujin said these words were originally temptations. She said that while watching Cheng Yuanjing's complexion, she planned to change her tongue as soon as she found something wrong. Instead ... Cheng Yujin felt that His Royal Highness was still a little happy.
What's so happy about this? Cheng Yujin was completely puzzled. Her Royal Highness the Prince intended to reuse, she bluntly said the other's bad words, the Prince was very satisfied?
Cheng Yujin was unbelievable, and he doubted his past world view. Cheng Yuanjing finally heard the answer he liked, and swept the sullen air before his eyebrows. He even brought a smile to his mouth: "Looking at you, do you seem to be a pity for Mrs. Cai Guogong?"
"It's not a pity, I don't even know Mrs. Cai Guogong." Cheng Yujin smiled with a lip. In fact, she is a very vulgar person. If it has nothing to do with her, Cheng Yujin will not care about others' life and death, but once her own interests are involved, Cheng Yujin cannot bear it. Cheng Yujin's low opinion of Zhai Yanlin was not because of the general direction of Chao Tang and his home country, but simply because Mrs. Cheng moved her to go to Cai Guogong's government to be her successor.
Cheng Yujin had heard face-to-face how Mrs. Zhai Er pointed out and made a lot of demands for the future step-mother. Before they enter the door, they are guarded by them, who is willing to wait for this group of self-esteemed idiots.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yujin's mood fell, and she sighed and said, "Tang Tang Cai Guogong will never lack a wife. There will always be a young and beautiful lady who is willing to marry him, but I am not as good as others Here is the grief for the future Duke's wife, which is really ridiculous. "
Cheng Yuanjing put down the teacup and made a clear sound when the bottom of the cup fell on the table. He lowered his eyebrows and looked at her deeply: "Don't be pretentious."
"I know." Cheng Yujin took a deep breath and quickly laughed again. "Uncle Jiu, my grandfather on July 7th, I met Mrs. Zhai's second wife when I was welcoming my grandmother. When Mrs. Zhai's second wife talked about electing his wife The son of Cai Guogong ’s government has been set and will never be changed, so the future successor should make every effort to raise the son of the son, and she ca n’t fight for the family property. In addition, she must be young and beautiful, virtuous and filial, There is the ability of a housekeeper, but also the virtue of a good girl. In short, the requirements are very high. "
Cheng Yuanjing was curious and asked, "What do you think?"
"Me?" Cheng Yujin looked at Cheng Yuanjing and gradually grew vigilant. "Nine Uncle, if I said directly, wouldn't you be offended?"
"No, I will have to go through this step sooner or later, and listen to your thoughts in advance, either."
Cheng Yuanjing's remarks were plain and deliberate, but Cheng Yujin thought Cheng Yuanjing meant that he would also marry a prince in the future, and wanted to understand the woman's views on the heir position and family property in advance. Since it was the crown prince who asked, Cheng Yujin had no scruples and said directly: "I think they thought it was too beautiful. They made a lot of requests to stepmother, why don't they think about what the government can offer to each other? Men all I hope my wife is gentle and frugal, not arrogant and jealous, but men pursue merits and demerits, and women should also ask for something. Women work hard to support their families, accept concubines for their husbands, and raise children. Is it the blessing of the old lady? If you knew at the beginning that there was no reward, who would bear it? "
This is the first time Cheng Yuanjing has heard a woman's views on marriage. In his original coursework, Taifu only arranged him to study the way of governing the country, as a rule of monarchy. No one has ever said how he will manage his home in the future. As if everyone believed that this was the prince's duty. As a prince, Cheng Yuanjing only needs to take care of the court. The court is the prince's duty.
Why should the princess perform her duties? No one seems to mention it.
Of course, Cheng Yuanjing doesn't think that after marrying his wife, he can throw all his back house to her. Chaotang is where he works, and the inner house is where he lives. Cheng Yuanjing rightfully feels that everything should be in his own hands. However, Cheng Yujin's words still shocked him.
Cheng Yujin lived too clearly, too well understood. Cheng Yuanjing asked: "What do you want?"
"Of course I want my own interests." Cheng Yujin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Isn't it the case of Cai Guogong's government, how do you say these things happened suddenly?"
Cheng Yuanjing has already understood: "So, you have to manage the power of the house, even if you don't have it for a while, the future right to speak must be yours. The most important thing is to ensure that the ultimate successor of power is your heir.
Cheng Yujin did think so, so Cai Guogong was ruled out by her from the beginning. If Cai Guogong does not have a son, she might still consider it, but Cai Guogong's government already has an heir, and the entire family business is bound to be Zhai Qing. She paid but didn't pay back. Why did she do this kind of thing?
Smart people only do things with a high probability of return, and marriage is the most important investment in Cheng Yujin's life. Marrying Zhai Yanlin is obviously not the optimal solution.
When Cheng Yujin saw Cheng Yuanjing thought about something, she thought of it and thought of Cheng Yuanjing's identity. The royal heir is sensitive to the topic, and the impact is not small. Cheng Yujin does not want to be involved. She did not know the future crown prince, and she did not want Cheng Yuanjing to think that she was suggesting that Huang Taisun was selected. Cheng Yujin had no reason to pave the way for the crown prince, but provokes himself.
Cheng Yujin said softly: "Of course, this is just my own idea. Small door and small family are different from the deep wall courtyard. Whether it is a noble house, family business has been accumulated from generation to generation, the most important thing is Stability. It is enough not to ask future generations of Guangzong Yaozu, as long as they can keep their foundations, so the heir is the most reliable and orthodox, so the eldest son is the most appropriate. Now. "
Cheng Yujin elucidated her position euphemistically, no matter which son Cheng Yuanjing chose to be the heir in the future, she would not comment. Cheng Yujin did not want to intervene, nor did he dare to intervene. Cheng Yujin didn't know if Cheng Yuanjing had heard it or not, and carefully observed his expression. As a result, Cheng Yuanjing nodded, and he had a determined posture: "I understand."
Cheng Yujin was startled. What did he understand? She didn't mean that!
Cheng Yuanjing heard Cheng Yujin's most complete spouse selection criteria and already had an idea in mind. He is the eldest son of his own. Although the crown prince is in jeopardy, he wants to go further. The most powerful way is to adhere to the orthodox of the law and the inheritance of the eldest son. That is to say, his future eldest son must come from the main chamber and imply that he is the heir as soon as he is born, in order to strengthen Cheng Yuanjing's own competitiveness.
Cheng Yuanjing felt that he and Cheng Yujin had exactly the same core interests, and they were suitable for being married. He was very satisfied with the result and stood up contentedly, saying: "You can rest in peace, don't worry about the things outside. I'll go first."
Cheng Yujin had no choice but to send Cheng Yuanjing out, and she would stop talking several times. She wanted to ask Cheng Yuanjing what she had just understood, and didn't know how to speak. Finally, Cheng Yujin looked at Cheng Yuanjing's back and sighed quietly.
Forsythia was on the side, watching the eldest girl looking at Jiu Ye's back, watching it for a long time without moving. She frowned secretly and asked quietly, "big girl?"
Cheng Yujin returned to his head and said without looking back: "I'm fine, go back first."
Cheng Yumo can be regarded as a high-married person. Not only did he marry as the main house of Hou Mansion as the second girl in the Hou Mansion, but the married man was also a newly born Jingyong Hou who was taken care of by Sheng Shang. Cheng Yumo's marriage is profitable no matter how he looks at it.
The wedding was very lively in the Huo family, with high-spirited guests and many guests. Many high-ranking officials looked at Huo Changyuan's face in person. However, the lively Huo family does not mean that the Cheng family is also true.
Cheng Yumo was married with filial piety, although he said that he followed the wishes of his elders, but many people were taboo. Those who are closer have filial piety and are reluctant to attend. Those who are more honorable can go to the Huo family for a feast. There is no need to provoke the reputation of Rexiao. Very few.
Many sisters who have played well are not willing to come, and they have made excuses to say that it is not convenient to travel, and only sent a gift to come. It ’s okay to be so polite to others, but it ’s very sad for a group of people like this.
On the day of the wedding, the female guest was not a big person. Cheng Yujin urged that Shou Xiao did not come forward to entertain the female guest, and the wedding banquet was even more deserted. Cheng Yumo looked forward to the wedding for two lifetimes. She wished to become Huo Changyuan's original wife, but when she married, the scene was not as good as the previous life.
Cheng Yumo couldn't help but feel a little lost, but she was sitting in the sedan chair, listening to the loud blows from outside, and those losses were quickly suppressed. Cheng Yumo thought that everything was different. She would grow old together with her brother Changyuan, and there would never be another person lying among them. Her life in Jingyonghou Mansion is astonishing and bright as she thinks.
When Cheng Yumo arrived in Jingyong Hou Mansion, things went on and on, and everyone in the Cheng family did not stop. After the guests are gone, they have to clean the banquet, clean up the cups, check the gift list, and make the book into the warehouse. In short, they are busy.
In a hurry, the day of the three-day return came soon.
Early in the morning, Cheng Yujin sat in front of the dressing table and dressed, and there was a chatter outside. Cheng Yujin glanced out and asked, "Who is here?"
"It is the maid in the second wife's courtyard, reminding the girl to go out earlier today, and the second girl will be back soon."
Du Ruo heard and stabbed the Forsythia aside: "Is it still called the second girl? It's time to call Grandma Ergu."
Suspension suddenly realized that he quickly changed his mind. Cheng Yujin did not express her opinion. She looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly said, "Change the head and face, don't use this red one."
Forsythia was startled: "However, today is the grandmother of the second aunt who came home to rejoice. The girl wears plain clothes, and the hair accessories should not be more festive?
"She is a newlywed mother and her clothes are naturally red and purple. If I wear red again, wouldn't it be suppressed by her? I want to wear a vegetarian and can't beat her in color. "
Forsythia understands a bit, and quickly cooperated with Du Ruo to remove hair accessories for Cheng Yujin and reselect the hairpin ring. After a while, Cheng Yujin looked at his new look, and he was satisfied. Where her Cheng Yujin is, others will not be first. No matter where she is, she must be the brightest person in the audience.
Dacheng Cheng's desire to win or lose is so strong.
