Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Cheng Yuanjing still looked at Cheng Yujin and smiled: "The Thousand Autumn Festival is around the corner, and the heaven will give great responsibility to the people, niece, are you right?"

Old Marquis Cheng was surprised and asked someone to help him over to find out. Cheng Yujin sighed, thinking that Japan will be a long time, and it will not be too late for her to brush Xu Zhixian's favor again tomorrow.

Cheng Yujin stood up straight, bowed her head and replied, "Ninth Uncle said yes."

"Let's go then."

Cheng Yuanjing didn't seem to want to leave alone, Cheng Yujin could only grit his teeth, reluctantly bid farewell to everyone, and chased Cheng Yuanjing out.

After going out, Cheng Yuanjing didn't wait for her deliberately, Cheng Yujin worked hard to keep up with Cheng Yuanjing's pace. She looked at the back of the person in front of her, thinking what was going on, why did she feel that Cheng Yuanjing was not right today?

Seems a little pissed off.

Chapter 17 Displeased

Cheng Yujin's good marriage plan was interrupted. After returning to the house, Forsythia waited on Cheng Yujin to change her home clothes and asked, "Girl, do you want to practice calligraphy?"

When I mention this Cheng Yujin, I hate her. However, she is a very rational person and never loses her temper when she encounters a problem. She only cares about how to solve the problem and how to maximize the benefits. Anyway, she will definitely not be able to get in touch with Xu Zhixian tonight. If she gets angry, won't she gain nothing?

Might as well practice some words. The key to marrying a good husband is to cast a wide net and focus on catching fish. Xu Zhixian can't relax here, and he must follow up with the emperor's birthday gift, which may be rewarded.

Cheng Yujin said, "Get your pen and ink ready, and I'll practice calligraphy in a while."

Forsythia was speechless when she heard it. The eldest girl got up before dawn. First, she went to greet Mrs. Cheng, and then went to Jiuye to write for a day. After finally returning home at night, she even had to write. With such perseverance, many students who are rushing for the exam are not comparable, right?

Forsythia admired very much. Du Ruo had already laid out the rice paper, put clean water in the inkstone, and quietly retreated.

Cheng Yujin didn't like anyone beside her when she was reading. The slaves knew Cheng Yujin's rules, so they all retreated outside quietly. Cheng Yujin has lived alone in a courtyard since she was sensible. When Qingfu raised her, she had not yet given birth. She smelled the milky smell of the child and felt disgusting. When Cheng Yujin was able to act on her own, she hurriedly threw Cheng Yujin outside. This is not bad, Cheng Yujin has been in charge of slaves and property since she was a child, and her temperament is much more mature than other ladies.

Her yard is not as big as Cheng Yuanjing's, but it has all the internal organs. The main room faces south, and there are two wing rooms in the east and west. The south is the main gate, and there are two inverted rooms on each side of the main gate. There is a cross-shaped bluestone corridor from the door to the main room, and a tall flower tree is planted in the flowerbed, which is especially lively in the chūn day. Corner doors are opened at all four corners, and when you open the door, you can go out into the Hou Mansion, which is deep in the courtyard.

Her main room has the same five-room layout, but it is not as spacious as Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Yuanjing's. Cheng Yujin placed the westernmost one as a bedroom, and separated it with a wooden lattice moon door. Stay out of sight. Arhat and elegant mahogany chairs are placed in the Xiji room to receive close guests. The middle room is the main hall, where visitors are received and the servants kowtow in the New Year. To the east is Cheng Yujin's own space, the innermost is the study, and the other is where he does embroidery.

Cheng Yujin made a rule that Mrs. Sasao and the general servants could only move around in the yard, and the second-class servants could only enter the main room, but they could only wipe the seats in the main hall and run chores. Her study and bedroom were the only ones. Only a close-fitting first-class maid can enter.

Cheng Yujin sat at the table for a while, and suddenly remembered that Cheng Yuanjing gave her a bottle of ointment today.

She remembered asking Du Ruo to put it away at noon. Where was it?

Cheng Yujin went to Duobao Pavilion to look through it, and indeed found a porcelain bottle in a small drawer. She said that sentence today as a joke. Who knows, Cheng Yuanjing actually prepared something, but it was still medicine.

Injury medicine can not be given indiscriminately, usually prepared in advance. Cheng Yujin was a little curious and a little unconvinced, would someone like Cheng Yuanjing prepare medicine for others in advance?

She doesn't quite believe it. Cheng Yujin took off the medicine stopper and sniffed lightly. Cheng Yujin was originally thinking of defending others, but she didn't expect such a sniff to make her even more confused.

How did she feel that this bottle of medicine tasted the same as the one Cheng Min gave earlier? Cheng Yujin found out about Cheng Min and smelled it. Cheng Min was a dignified lady who would not lie to her. This was obviously the imperial medicine given by the concubine Shu, how could it be so similar to what Cheng Yuanjing brought?

The next day Cheng Yujin went to copy as usual, and she looked at Cheng Yuanjing full of inquiry. Cheng Yuanjing didn't talk much, and Cheng Yujin never said useless words. The two of them often stayed in the house for an afternoon without disturbing each other, and they had their own business.

Cheng Yujin thought that this person was quiet and self-disciplined, and it was comfortable to get along with, but at night, Cheng Yujin felt a little helpless.

For a few days, when she was free, Cheng Yuanjing called her "Cheng Yujin" unhurriedly, and then she had to bite the bullet and go back to practice calligraphy. During the few days that Cheng Min stayed in the Hou Mansion, Cheng Yujin never found a chance to be alone with Xu Zhixian.

Cheng Yujin almost suspected that Cheng Yuanjing was deliberately messing with her, but then she thought, she didn't offend Cheng Yuanjing, and secondly, there was no conflict of interest with Cheng Yuanjing, wouldn't he be so boring? Maybe he was in a hurry to do He Shou embroidery, so he urged her to practice calligraphy.
