When Zhou Hui and Qin Hu arrived at the house, they met Cheng Jiaoniang going out.
"Where are you going?" Zhou Hui asked, frowning slightly.
"Go to Prince Qing's Mansion." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Zhou Hui didn't care. He raised his feet and took a step forward. Qin Hu stood still.
"Ms. Cheng," he said.
Cheng Jiaoniang stopped and looked at him.
"I have never understood how His Highness the Prince of Jin'an County persuaded you to take care of Prince Qing?" Qin Hu asked with a smile.
"Because he invited me and I can do it," Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Qin Hu smiled.
"It turns out that the lady is so easy to please." He smiled.
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled and saluted and got into the car.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Hao glared and bumped Qin Hu with his arm.
"I'm curious." Qin Hu said, stepping through the door first.
When they came to the courtyard, the two sat on the porch. The maids brought tea sets, and Qin Hu bundled up his sleeves to bake tea.
"What are you curious about?" Zhou Hui asked.
"I wonder who she will marry." Qin Hu smiled.
After the commotion at Desheng Tower in Zhou Hui, the Gao family was in a state of panic, but they did not follow suit and became silent.
"It seems that Master Gao took action." Qin Hu said.
"Yesterday the matchmaker went to the Cheng family." Zhou Hui said and spat, "It's a shame they are so shameless."
"It would be foolish not to be shameless at this time." Qin Hu said, pouring the hot tea, "So it is extraordinary for Master Gao to take action."
Zhou Feng took the tea and drank it in one gulp.
"Then... what should we do?" he asked.
Am I too shameless...?
Qin Hu looked up at him. Under the afternoon sunlight, the young man's rough face turned red. He didn't know whether it was because he was a little hot in the sun or because he just drank hot tea.
"So I'm very curious." He smiled and poured himself some tea and drank it in one gulp.

"What's next?"
At this time, Mr. Cheng, who was sitting in the living room of the Zhou family, was also saying this.
He came to see his sweetheart, but he didn't want to miss it, so he could only wait here.
"Did the Gao family really invite a matchmaker?" Mr. Zhou asked with a bit of nervousness.
Mr. Cheng nodded.
I also secretly resented it in my heart. I didn't expect to send a matchmaker to make such a fuss. The Gao family is really not easy to mess with.
"They sent a matchmaker, then let's just let Liulang and Jiaojiao get married." Mr. Zhou said from the side.
Mr. Cheng looked at Mr. Zhou.
"Then if this is the case, we will no longer be able to stay in this capital." He said with a solemn expression.
"How could it be possible? Just because of this ridiculous thing, can Your Majesty still expel us?" Mr. Zhou sneered, "This is just a ridiculous thing about children. Young people inevitably have some romantic pasts and do not discuss private matters with the court.
, Your Majesty is not someone who cannot tolerate others."
Mr. Cheng also sneered.
"You are wrong, we are not talking about His Majesty now," he said, "but Prince Ping."
King Ping?
Mr. Zhou was stunned for a moment.
"Have you forgotten who was the first matchmaker and the one who started the trouble?" Mr. Cheng said.
It’s King Ping!
This matter has nothing to do with the emperor. Whether the two families get married or become enemies, the emperor is always a bystander. Moreover, the emperor is old and will one day abdicate.
This matter has something to do with the Queen Mother. Whether this marriage can happen or not is related to her face. In fact, she is already very embarrassed now, but the Queen Mother is still the Queen Mother, she is older, and women in the harem cannot control the court.
.
But if this matter is related to Prince Ping, this young and only prince will be the emperor who will reign for a long time in the future. His joy and anger will definitely influence the court for a long time, and this influence will continue for him.
descendants...
"So, it won't work unless this matter is resolved." Mr. Zhou murmured.
The solution is easy, but paying the price is the future of the family.
"No wonder Jiaojiao said she wanted to take advantage of the situation and get married." He twirled his beard and said coquettishly.
Mr. Cheng showed a contemptuous smile.
"It's true that the thunder is loud and the rain is small, and the shouting is so powerful, but it turns out that I am scared." He said, "I knew you, a person with a foreign surname, would not be reliable."
This is a big label, Mr. Zhou will never admit it.
"Cheng, who's scared? Who let your son cause this trouble? It's hurting our Jiaojiao family! How can you be so confident?" He yelled without showing any weakness.
As expected, a quarrel broke out. The servants and girls standing outside breathed a sigh of relief. This is how the Zhou family and the Cheng family get along.
"What's the noise about?"
Cheng Jiaoniang's voice interrupted the stalemate in the room.
"Jiaojiao."
Mr. Cheng and Mr. Zhou shouted at the same time. Looking at Cheng Jiaoniang standing at the door, Mr. Zhou took a few steps first and stood next to Cheng Jiaoniang.
Mr. Cheng disdains this. What he does to this woman depends on how he behaves, not shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Whatever you say about your marriage, we will do it." Mr. Zhou said first.
Cheng Jiaoniang said "oh" and bowed to express her thanks.
"The marriage is a small matter." She said, looking at Mr. Cheng, "Uncle came just in time, I was about to go home."
go home?
Are you going home at this time?
"Amitabha, finally leaving."
After hearing the news, Mrs. Zhou was busy chanting Buddha's name repeatedly.
"Why are you leaving?" a servant woman asked.
Mrs. Zhou doesn't care about this, as long as the person is gone and out of sight of her.
"Then Mr. Cheng is still at home. Although he is being imprisoned by Mr. Cheng, is it possible for her as a child to be able to let it go without any hesitation?" Another servant woman also asked curiously.
"Hey, you must have gone home because you were planning to get married." A servant girl reacted and said, "I just heard from the master that this matter must be settled by discussing marriage."
"Then who will she marry?" the servants and wives asked in unison.
Mrs. Zhou here also immediately pricked up her ears.
"Of course it goes without saying that it's our Rokuro."
Oh my God! My son! I have to compensate you in the end.
Mrs. Zhou stretched out her hand to hold her heart, and used her other hand to touch the wine bottles placed on the tables. She poured a small cup with trembling hands, raised her head and drank in one gulp.
My whole body feels relaxed and my racing heart calms down.
This is the wine that the woman specially brewed for herself.
It’s just that wine is good wine. It would be better if only the wine is in front of you and no one is around.
"My dear, do you have an idea?"
Mr. Cheng asked immediately after returning home.
"Tell me which one to marry?"
The old bastard of the Zhou family was obviously cowarded, and he definitely didn't dare to take the initiative to propose marriage again, but it didn't matter. It didn't matter whether he opened his mouth or not. As long as the girl opened her mouth, he would beat the obedient Zhou who came to propose marriage. He thought they had
Is it true that the Cheng family has no power to fight back after being beaten?
We are really fighting for our lives, no one is afraid of whom!
However, if you want to marry into the Gao family, it is not impossible. Judging from the attitude of the matchmaker, it seems that Mr. Gao is very sincere. He also said that he would come to visit in person when he comes back and discuss it in detail.
If the Gao family bows their heads and marries a wife, there is no chance that this matter will not be without consideration. Of course, this all depends on the attitude of the young lady. If she agrees, he will not mind being ridiculed and has a boneless reputation.
The family and Yan Yuese talk about marriage.
"We will decide who to marry later. Now I ask my uncle to take my father and you return to Jiangzhou as soon as possible." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Return to Jiangzhou?
Mr. Cheng's reverie was interrupted and he was stunned.
Now?
"It will be inconvenient to stay in the capital." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "It's better to go back to Jiangzhou."
When you are planning to get married in the capital, people will come to your door as soon as they say it. There is nothing you can do if you block the door. If you go back to Jiangzhou, the journey back and forth will take a while.
Yes, procrastination is the best policy. Why didn't I think of such a simple solution?
"Heavy lifting is easy, heavy lifting is easy." Mr. Cheng laughed and said.
In response to Mr. Cheng's laughter and praise, Cheng Jiaoniang just shook her head and did not continue the topic.
"It's just that you have to worry about how father can go back, uncle." she said.
Master Cheng laughed.
"It's very simple." He said, pointing in a direction, "Just follow the example of Master Gao Lingbo."
At the end of April, Cheng Dong, the judge of Dali Temple, wrote a letter asking him to return to his hometown because his mother was critically ill.
Counting it all, the days that Cheng Dong spent in the Yamen since he came to Dali Temple were numbered. First, he was evaded for a few days due to the Yushitai case, and then he was evaded by his brother who said goodbye to his family and wealth. Only then was the lawsuit cleared, and again.
He said that he was recovering at home because he was ill and could not see people, so now he simply took leave and returned to his hometown.
"First my wife broke her leg, and then she had to go back to her hometown. This procrastination trick is really addictive." An official shook his head while looking at the memorial in front of him.
"Should we let him go or not?" Another official asked in a low voice, "You must know that it was arranged by Mr. Gao that he came to Beijing. Now, is it inappropriate for Mr. Gao to let him go without saying anything?"
The previous official threw the memorial back to several cases.
"Then what else can be done? Is my mother not allowed to come back because my mother is seriously ill? Can't Cheng Dong come back because my mother is seriously ill? This can't be stopped at all." He said, "What's more, Xianggong Chen has already agreed.
Already."
The official then looked over and saw the bright red inscriptions on the memorials and the large seal of Zhongshu.
"Just put it off. If you put it off for just this moment, will it last forever?" He shook his head and said, "No matter how far Jiangzhou is, it's only ten days on horseback."
…………………………………………………….
Watching the cavalry galloping away, Cheng Silang still stood and looked at each other.
"Jiaojiao, you should go back with me. No one dares to say anything when we go back now."
Master Zhou's voice came from behind.
"The prince of Jin'an County has not returned yet, how can he not trust his words when he is entrusted by others?" Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Because Cheng Jiaoniang refused to leave, Cheng Silang, who still needed acupuncture on his injured hand, also stayed.
"Sister, is this matter difficult to handle?"
Cheng Silang said as Mo Shen walked all the way to the house.
Ever since he hurt his hand and listened to Mr. Cheng's words, he has been acting calmly and has not taken the initiative to mention the current incident, but he still can't let go.
If it weren't for myself, we wouldn't be in the predicament we are in today.
Cheng Jiaoniang turned her head and smiled at him.
"Actually, you all really think too much." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "This matter is really nothing."
This is not the first time Cheng Jiaoniang has said this, or she has always said this.
"Then what is a big deal in my sister's eyes?" Cheng Silang asked.
"Those things no one talks about, but they exist." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
What is this?
Cheng Silang frowned in confusion.
"Celestial phenomena." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
"Is there an eclipse of the sun or moon?" Cheng Silang asked, "But everyone has talked about it, and the predicted civil unrest and drought have also appeared."
Cheng Jiaoniang shook her head.
"No, this is not the only celestial phenomenon." she said.
Cheng Silang was surprised. Not only were there eclipses of the sun and moon, but there were other celestial phenomena? What were they? Why didn't he know?
"That's why I'm surprised." Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him, "There is one thing that someone clearly knew, but no one ever said it, as if it didn't happen. Then this matter is either really a trivial matter, or...
