Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Cheng Yujin paused in her footsteps, and she immediately recognized that it was Ruan's voice. The other man who spoke just now must be Cheng Yuanhan.

The Ruan family in the room continued: "It's just that the situation is different now. Marquis Jingyong is twenty-one years old. Ordinary men at his age have already embraced their sons. The law said that we were close, and then went to the battlefield again, and the marriage was delayed year after year. Now that I finally made time, the marriage could not be delayed. Originally, we and the Huo family said that we would get married within half a year, but we just hit the period of filial piety. How can Lord Huo Hou wait another year? Mo'er's mother-in-law is already difficult to deal with, and now she has a ready-made reason, what should she do if she wants to take a concubine for Lord Huo Hou? "

Cheng Yuanhan's voice sounded very puzzled: "How dare the Huo family? The wife takes a concubine before entering the door. Are they not afraid of bad reputation?"

"Why don't they dare!" Ruan's voice sounded eager and said, "People with strict rules pay attention to not accepting concubines before the wife enters the door. First, it is for the honor of the wife, and second, it is afraid of giving birth to the eldest son, which will be broken. The concubines and concubines are inferior. But after all, Marquis Jingyong is old, and after all, it is the heirs that are important. If Marquis Jingyong can't enter the door, and Marquis Jingyong accepts a concubine for the children, others will not say anything, and maybe they will praise Marquis Jingyong. Respect the wife, and let the wife feel at ease to be filial to your grandfather."

Cheng Yuanhan's voice was silent, and Ruan Shi took advantage of the situation and said: "A year, and there is no Bizi soup to fill, it is impossible to guarantee that there will not be a concubine blood. ?"

Cheng Yuanhan didn't speak any more, Ruan shi lowered his voice, Xu Xu said something, and the voice gradually became indistinguishable. Cheng Yujin pretended to hear everything, took two steps back lightly, and walked in deliberately with a louder voice. The couple in the wing thought that someone was coming, and immediately stopped talking.

After Cheng Yujin walked into the main hall, Mrs Ruan soon came out of the wing and leaned over to see who was coming. When she entered the door and saw Cheng Yujin, her expression froze: "Miss, why are you here?"

"I'm here to keep my grandfather vigil."

"You are the daughter's family. Didn't the old lady say that she loves you so that you and Mo'er don't have to come and stay up late?"

"My grandmother loves me dearly. As a junior, I have to show my filial piety. Besides, the third brother is guarding the mourning hall when he is so young. I am fourteen years old.

Mrs. Ruan was speechless. At this moment, Qingfu and Mrs. Cheng were arranging the mourning hall in the front hall, and the servants were in a mess. Seeing that there was no one in the backyard, Mrs. Ruan quickly brought Cheng Yuanhan to discuss countermeasures. Unexpectedly, someone suddenly came, but it was Cheng Yujin. Ruan Shi couldn't help but have some doubts, but she thought that she stopped talking when she heard the footsteps just now, and the content of the conversation should not have been heard. Ruan Shi paid attention to Cheng Yujin's face again, and found that Cheng Yujin was unaware, and the maid was busy preparing for the spirit watch. Ruan Shi was completely relieved, stood for a while and went out.

After Ruan Shi turned around, Cheng Yujin glanced at her back and silently retracted her gaze.

Handling funerals is very labor-intensive. After a whole night, everyone in the Cheng family looked tired. In theory, children and grandchildren should guard their elders for seven days. However, when it was dawn, many people made excuses and went to the next room to rest.

Cheng Yujin hadn't slept all night. At this moment, her face was white, her eyes were red, and she was wearing filial piety clothes. Du Ruo felt sorry for Cheng Yujin. Others were lazy, but Cheng Yujin actually knelt down for a long time. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the mourning hall, Du Ruo quietly said to Cheng Yujin, "Girl, do you want to go with a break?"

Cheng Yujin thought that when it was dawn, people should come one after another to offer condolences. Her tired face could show filial piety, but too much would affect her beauty. The eldest girl from the Cheng family, who had been perfect for more than ten years, couldn't accept that she was ugly, so she hurried to the tea room to recover her anger while no one was there.

Du Ruo brought a cup of hot ginger tea and put a cup of ginger tea into his stomach, Cheng Yujin felt his body warm again. Forsythia brought the cakes from the courtyard, and at the moment he was carrying the dishes out, while he was still talking about Cheng Yujin: "Miss, why are your hands so cold? Although it's summer, the ground is still yīn and cháo at night, and the girl just knelt down like this. On the ground, how can you bear it! If the slaves will bring you knee pads, it will be better for you to kneel."

The heat was thick, and Cheng Yujin's brows and eyes were hidden behind the mist, so he couldn't see clearly. Du Ruo felt that Cheng Yujin seemed to have something on her mind, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, are you still thinking about the second wife?"

Forsythia didn't understand, what did the second wife say? It's a pity that no one has the time to explain to Forsythia at this moment, Cheng Yujin put down the tea cup and sighed: "Huo Changyuan is really not small, it's normal for them to think this way."

This is also what Du Ruo didn't understand. Du Ruo asked: "Girl, keep filial piety to your grandfather, and you can accumulate filial piety, but the second wife looks very anxious today. Girl, what do you think the second wife is doing?"

"What else can I do?" Cheng Yujin covered her lips and yawned lightly, and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of long nights and dreams, I want Cheng Yumo to marry her while she's hot and filial."

"Ah!" Du Ruo was very surprised. When Forsythia heard this, she probably guessed what happened. The old marquis suddenly went away last night. Cheng Yumo was about to be filial to his grandfather and was not allowed to get married within a year. Nguyen Shi was afraid that the delay would be too long, and Jingyong Hou's mansion couldn't wait, so he took a concubine and came back. Therefore, I wanted to take advantage of the hot filial piety and let Cheng Yumo marry in advance.
