Cheng Yujin sat calmly in the treetop, drinking tea while looking at the new summer patterns that had just been sent by the embroidery shop. After a while, a plump woman wearing a dark green jacket came in and kept looking inside. Cheng Yujin saw her and said, "Is this the Third Young Master's wet nurse? Come in. "
The wet nurse smiled and walked to the treetop. She saluted Cheng Yujin and said, "This servant greets the Eldest Young Miss. The Eldest Young Miss's complexion is very good today. The same white and gold clothes look better on you than on others. "
Cheng Yujin was too lazy to pay attention to this superficial flattery. She closed the book and glanced at the wet nurse, "What's the matter?"
The wet nurse smiled even more embarrassedly, "The Third Young Master woke up and refused to get out of bed. This servant came to ask the Eldest Young Mistress for advice."
What time was it? He still refused to get out of bed. Cheng Yujin smiled gently and asked, "Why won't he get out of bed?"
"Yesterday, the Third Young Master saw the Heir of the Duke House of Cai with a very majestic thin dog. It was dark all over and didn't have a single strand of hair. The Young Master likes it and wants to raise one. He was thinking about it yesterday and is still thinking about it today … "
Cheng Yujin laughed. So it turned out that the wet nurse wanted to raise a hunting dog. She was making a scene here. Cheng Yujin waved her hand and beckoned the Dugeaux to come over. She pointed to a few patterns in the book and said, "Tell the Splendid Embroidery Shop to make four horse-faced dresses with a red silk lining. The upper garment should be made of white woven gold brocade. The sleeves should be pipa sleeves, the collar should be raised, and the waist should be narrowed by an inch. The collar should be embroidered with branches and leaves. The color should be clearer. "
Cheng Yujin pointed to a few more patterns, each of which had different requirements. The Dugeaux wrote them down one by one. The wet nurse listened and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
The wet nurse was ignored. She wanted to interrupt several times but couldn't find a chance. The Dugeaux remembered Cheng Yujin's instructions and walked out with the book. When she went out, she glanced at the wet nurse.
The wet nurse was finally able to speak. "First Young Lady, about the Third Young Master …"
"It's already so late in the morning and he still hasn't woken up yet. To think he's not embarrassed." Cheng Yujin said, "Don't get up if you don't want to. Father is here today too. If he's not afraid of being scolded by Father, he can stay in bed."
The nanny's face turned bitter when she heard that. If it was Princess Qingfu who was sitting here, she would have called her sweetheart to coax Cheng Enbao out of bed. However, Cheng Yujin's tone did not even change as she lightly told him to continue lying down.
The wet nurse was in a difficult position. "But Third Young Master has a bad temper. If he gets angry, I'm afraid Madam will blame us when she comes back."
"If Mother wants to blame someone, she should blame me. Just do it." Cheng Yujin didn't even bother to look at her. She said coldly, "Go back and tell him that Mother went to take care of Grandfather. If he doesn't get up, I'll personally go and invite him."
The wet nurse nodded and left with her tail between her legs. After a while, the Dugeaux had just returned from outside when someone violently bumped into her. The Dugeaux held her waist in pain. When she turned around, she saw Cheng Enbao with a gold headband on his head. He didn't care about the people on the road and charged straight into the main room.
Cheng Enbao immediately began to make a big fuss as soon as he entered the room. Cheng Enbao was the son of Princess Qingfu when she was middle-aged. Qingfu only had this one child. She usually doted on him like he was the most precious thing in the household. No one dared to say a word about this golden bean. Cheng Enbao relied on his father's indifference and his mother's love for him to cause a lot of trouble. Today, when he saw that the Little Heir of the Duke House of Cai had a hunting dog, he also wanted it. He made a scene and rolled around to ask for it.
Cheng Enbao made a big fuss. "Mother, Zhai Qing has a dog. I want it too!"
When Princess Qingfu's maids saw Cheng Enbao, they hurriedly came forward to coax him. Qingfu's nanny called out to her sweetheart, "Third Young Master, you haven't put on your outer robe yet. Be careful not to catch a cold! Quickly go and get Third Young Master's outer robe! "
With the maids coaxing him, Cheng Enbao made a bigger fuss. He made a big fuss for a long time, but he didn't hear the familiar coaxing voice of his mother. When he turned around, he saw Cheng Yujin standing at the door of the cubicle looking at him coldly.
Cheng Yujin looked coldly at Cheng Enbao and didn't have the slightest intention of making a move. When she saw that Cheng Enbao had quieted down, she lightly said, "Are you done?"
Seeing that it was Cheng Yujin, Cheng Enbao lost half of his confidence. He didn't give up and looked inside. "Where's my mother?"
"Mother and Father went to take care of Grandfather. Looking at the time, they should be back soon." Cheng Yujin glanced at Cheng Enbao and said, "Mother hates cats and dogs the most. Whether it's a thin dog or a hunting dog, it's impossible to raise one in the inner residence. You should give up on this idea as soon as possible. If you're not afraid of Father seeing you like this, you can continue to make a fuss. Let go, let Third Young Master lie on the ground. "
Cheng Enbao made a scene and rolled around on the ground. The maids all knelt on the ground to support him, afraid that this ancestor would catch a cold. When they heard Cheng Yujin's words, the maids looked at each other in dismay. However, their fear of Cheng Yujin prevailed and they slowly let go of their hands.
Cheng Enbao didn't know what to do. He didn't know what to do. He straightened his neck and shouted, "I want to raise a thin dog. Mother loves me the most. If you scold me, I'll tell my mother when she comes back!"
Cheng Yujin chuckled and didn't even bother to look at him. She turned around and walked inside. When the maids saw this, they hurriedly persuaded, "Third Young Master, Eldest Miss is doing this for your own good. Quickly get up!"
Cheng Enbao was used to being obeyed. How could he stand this kind of anger? He immediately rolled on the ground, kicking and kicking. "I don't care, I don't care. If Zhai Qing raises a thin dog, I want it too!"
The maids were in a difficult position and hurriedly stopped Cheng Enbao. Qingfu's nanny was so distressed that tears came out. "Eldest Miss, since Young Master likes it, why don't you talk to Madam? Madam might agree."
Cheng Yujin stopped and slowly glanced at the crowd. The noisy room suddenly quieted down. The maids knelt on the ground and no one dared to speak. Cheng Yujin retracted her gaze and looked at Cheng Enbao condescendingly. "Shizi Di raising a hunting dog is the Duke Of Cai's business. It has nothing to do with the Marquis of Yichun. You can either get up now and change your clothes or continue to lie on the ground. No one will stop you. "
After Cheng Yujin finished speaking, she looked at the maids. "Do you all have nothing to do?"
The maids looked at Cheng Enbao awkwardly. They whispered in agreement and slowly dispersed. Cheng Enbao saw that no one was listening to him and he couldn't continue to make a scene. The nanny took the opportunity to step forward and carried him back to change his clothes.
When Lian Qiao saw this, she winked at the maids. Cheng Enbao was arrogant and willful. However, Princess Qingfu doted on him. The maids in the inner residence simply couldn't say anything. However, the eldest young lady didn't fall for his trick. Look, didn't he obediently listen to her?
Lian Qiao said that naughty children were spoiled by adults. If it was the eldest young lady, she would see if they would dare to do so.
After entering the treehouse, Cheng Yujin asked Dugeaux, "Are you okay?"
Dugeaux quickly shook her head. "I'm fine. This servant often does manual labor. My skin is rough and my flesh is thick. My bones are very strong. Third Young Master is still so young. He accidentally bumped into something. What can happen? "
Cheng Yujin saw Dugeaux's action but didn't expose her. Instead, she instructed, "When we go back, take a bottle of ointment and apply it. You don't have to do manual labor for the next two days."
Dugeaux was moved. She knew that it was useless to say more. She could only bow her head and say gratefully, "Thank you, Young Lady."
When it was almost noon, Princess Qingfu came back first. She looked angry. Not long after, Cheng Yuan-hsien also came back. As soon as he entered the door, he scolded, "You live off me and betray me! You're ungrateful! You're so useless that you only know how to stare at other people's things. After working for ten years, you're still a small official. Even so, you still think you're extraordinary. You keep saying that it's because your family didn't give you money to bribe you, which hindered your future. Bah, he should take a look at himself first! "
The more Cheng Yuan-hsien said, the angrier he became. Today, he went to ask for something from Marquis Cheng. As a result, the second branch heard it and interfered. Cheng Yuan-hsien was still very angry when he thought about it. He couldn't control himself and scolded, "I can't stand them for a long time. Look at their usual attitude. They always pull a long face and look pitiful. It's as if they've been let down. It's as if I owe them! At first, they didn't want to adopt me. Now, who are they showing their wronged faces to? Bah, do they think I care? "
After the maidservants heard it, they didn't dare to breathe loudly. They all bowed their heads and pretended not to hear it. Princess Qingfu frowned when she heard it. She gently pulled Cheng Yuan-hsien's sleeve and winked at him, "Master, calm down. Sit down and drink a cup of tea."
"Drink what tea!" Cheng Yuan-hsien impatiently shook off Princess Qingfu's hand and shouted, "The second branch is not righteous. How can you not let people talk about it? Dragons give birth to dragons and rats give birth to rats. Cheng Yuanhan is evil. His roots are black. His family is also not good. "
After Cheng Yuan-hsien finished speaking, there was no sound in the room for a long time. Cheng Yuan-hsien felt strange. Suddenly, he heard a soft knock on the door. Cheng Yuan-hsien turned around and saw Cheng Yujin standing at the door of the treehouse. She smiled and greeted Cheng Yuan-hsien, "Father, mother, you're back."
Cheng Yuan-hsien turned around and saw a girl standing at the door like a painting. Only then did he slowly realize that Cheng Yujin was still there. She was also Cheng Yuanhan's child. He just scolded the second branch in front of Cheng Yujin.
Cheng Yuan-hsien was a little embarrassed, but Cheng Yujin's smile was unchanged. It was as if she didn't hear anything. Cheng Yuan-hsien also felt embarrassed. He hurriedly sent Cheng Yujin away, "There's nothing for you to do here. You can go back first."
"Yes." Cheng Yujin saluted Cheng Yuan-hsien and Princess Qingfu, "Daughter will take her leave."
After returning to Jinning Courtyard, Lian Qiao complained angrily, "My lord is really too much. He was quarreling with his brother. Why did he involve our young lady? Madam is also too much. She clearly knew that our young lady was inside, but she didn't say anything and only listened. "
Cheng Yujin faintly glanced behind. Lian Qiao suddenly didn't dare to say anything. Cheng Yujin retracted her gaze and asked, "Has the food box been delivered?"
Dugeaux replied, "It has just been delivered. This servant personally watched over it."
Cheng Yujin nodded. She sat on a chair and gently sipped her tea, "Then wait."
In Fu Li Courtyard, people had been gone for a long time. Marquis Cheng still felt that his head was hurting from the noise. Just now, Cheng Yuan-hsien came over to complain about Marquis Cheng's favoritism. Not long after, the second branch's husband and wife heard the noise and ran over. They were all afraid that the other party would get the benefits first. As a result, they blocked the room together and made a scene. Of the two daughters-in-law, one considered herself a hero and said that she had been in charge of the Marquis Household for so many years. The other cried and complained that she couldn't even protect her own daughter.
In short, they weren't easy to deal with. Marquis Cheng had a headache because of their noise.
His health wasn't good. After being quarreled by his sons and daughters-in-law for a while, his vision turned black. In the end, Marquis Cheng really didn't have enough energy and fainted. Cheng Yuan-hsien and Cheng Yuanhan were finally willing to stop. They each went back angrily.
The maidservant fed Marquis Cheng medicine and stayed in the room for the whole afternoon. It wasn't until night fell that Marquis Cheng slowly woke up.
After Marquis Cheng woke up, he opened his eyes and looked at the empty room. He asked, "Where are the eldest and second son?"
The maidservant serving him whispered, "The eldest and second son saw that Marquis had fallen asleep, so they went back first."
Marquis Cheng's mouth revealed a trace of a bitter smile. They went back, what a good 'went back'.
He moved and struggled to get out of the bedding. The maidservant quickly helped Marquis Cheng sit down. Marquis Cheng gasped for breath. He saw a three-tiered food box on the table and asked, "What is this?"
"This was sent by the eldest young lady. When the eldest young lady's personal maidservant came over, she saw that Marquis was still asleep. She didn't dare to wake Marquis up, so she put down the food box and left. Before the maidservant left, she specifically left a message that the eldest young lady personally made the medicinal cuisine. There is a small stove under the food box that is always warm. Marquis can drink it when he wakes up. "
As the maidservant spoke, she took out a blue and white porcelain pot from the top of the food box. After Marquis Cheng saw it, his feelings became even more complicated. His son had been thinking about his inheritance before he died, but his granddaughter, who had never paid attention to him, was worried about his illness. Knowing that his digestion wasn't good, she specially made medicinal cuisine and kept it warm in a small stove, so that he wouldn't have a stomachache if he drank cold soup.
Marquis Cheng sighed. He stared at the delicate blue and white flowers on the porcelain pot and couldn't help but be lost in thought. He didn't know what to think and asked, "How old is the eldest young lady this year?"
"The two young ladies are the same age. They are fourteen this year."
"Fourteen years old. They will be of marriageable age in a year." Marquis Cheng leaned back on the pillow and sighed, "It's time to talk about the husband's family. If they can't get engaged at fourteen or fifteen, it will be even more difficult to talk about marriage when they are older. The second young lady is already engaged and has a stable life for the rest of her life. Only the eldest young lady is delayed by the cancellation of the engagement. Now that the other party is picky about her marriage, our family doesn't like her. It's really difficult. "
After Marquis Cheng finished speaking, he also sighed with emotion. She was clearly a girl who was ready for everything, but because the man broke off the engagement, she fell into such an awkward situation. Marquis Cheng remembered that the crown prince's birthday message was embroidered by her and became more and more emotional.
Marquis Cheng sighed deeply. He glanced at the exquisite blue and white porcelain pot again and gradually became biased in his heart.
"Come, open the secret compartment."
When the Cheng Family heard the news, they all rushed to Fu Li Courtyard. When Cheng Yujin arrived, Old Lady Cheng, Princess Qingfu, and the others were already there. She bowed to Qingfu and then walked to Old Lady Cheng's side. She helped the Old Lady Cheng sit down and said, "Grandmother, it's so late. Why did you suddenly call everyone here?"
Old Lady Cheng's face was gloomy as she said, "Your grandfather said that he wants to divide the family property."
Cheng Yujin's brows moved slightly. At this time, an old servant came out and bowed to everyone, saying, "Old Madam, Eldest Master, Madam, Marquis, please come in."
