Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

At the beginning of February, the weather began to get warmer, and there was gradually a breath of spring. The news that the Niu family was going to have a happy event also spread to the ears of every family. The steward of the Niu family took people out shopping all day long. When he met people, he would say with a smile that he was the second person in the family. The young master is getting married, and he is marrying the eldest daughter of Uncle Chengyi's house.

The Cheng family was also busy organizing happy events, temporarily suppressing the unhappiness caused by the Zhang family. As for the matter of giving some color to the Zhang family, it was left to the Cheng Youqian brothers. Mrs. Cheng said that no one in the house was allowed to come back. Mention this matter.

But there is no airtight wall in the world. At least the third prince knew about this. He wanted to make some fuss about it, but he was afraid that Cheng Xiaosi would jump out. Then he would ask him if he couldn't get it because he asked for it. He wanted to take revenge on her, but then he would really have no excuse and could only choose to pretend not to know.

As for the other people who knew secretly, they discussed a few things behind their backs. They either said that the Zhang family's young master was not decent, or that the Cheng family looked like they were blooming, but they were very vain. Not many girls in the capital could be humiliated like this. See.

The eldest lady of the Qin family came here again, full of apologies. Mrs. Qin graciously said that the Cheng family didn't care, "Marriage is destined by fate. It can only be said that there is no fate."

His face was calm and calm, and he was shaking with anger when no one was around. The next day, a business belonging to the Zhang family was broken, and it was revealed that the second son of Zhang and the newly promoted first son of Shilihuachang were fighting for Bo Youlan. The girl laughed and spread eighty thousand taels of news in one night.

"That's a whole eighty thousand taels, just to make a prostitute smile. How rich is the Zhang family?"

"It is said that Young Master Yuan Wu disappeared from Shili Huachang after they got engaged. This newly promoted No. 1 Young Master of Shili Huachang is even worse than the original Young Master Yuan Wu. I heard that he is the young master of Feiying Villa, and he is very generous. ah."

"No matter how lavish you are, you are still outclassed by the second son of the Zhang family. Mr. Zhang is the governor and has a lot of money."

There was a lot of talk in the city, and the emperor went there after smelling the smell of money. Last year, he raided two houses and made a fortune. The river that had not been widened was quickly widened because of the money. When the water rose in the spring, boats could be sailed. , then more goods will be shipped to the capital, and a lot more tax money will be generated.

The emperor, who was a little strapped at this time, felt refreshed when he heard about the eighty thousand taels.

At this time, some people speculated that it was the work of the Cheng family. The Yan family's incident made everyone in the capital know about the "bravery" of Shunyi House. Now that another girl has been wronged, some people want to see if they will fight back. I still choose to be patient, but I didn’t expect, “It came so fast.”

"I can't afford to offend the Cheng family."

The whole family has no taboos in doing anything. They will get rid of whoever offends them. They will spread the news all over the city at every turn. That is, the emperor can feed him whatever he wants. I am afraid it will not be easy for the Zhang family to get through this time. Who will let him go? Is the emperor short of money again?

Every family in the city could only discuss it behind their backs, pretending not to know anything on the surface. At this moment, none of them wanted to offend the Cheng family.

Mrs. Riyuan came this time, bringing her two grandchildren. Xuan'er and Wen Sheng, whose father and mother were not around, were very well-behaved and sensible. They would politely greet people when they saw them, and they would not make any noise. Xiao He liked it very much and called Cheng Xiaosi to take the two children to play.

Mrs. Yuan smiled and sat down, "Is the second lady in the house here?"

Xiao He hurriedly sent people to find Mrs. Qin. When she learned that Mrs. Yuan was looking for her, Mrs. Qin immediately guessed what was going on. She quickly arrived at the front yard with a smile on her face.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Yuan saw her coming, she started talking about business, "I met the third girl last time, and I liked her very much. At that time, I thought that such a good girl should not be taken advantage of by outsiders. I have a family here for you. Tell me, are you willing to listen?" Mrs. Qin smiled and sat down, "The one Madam mentioned must be the best candidate. I wonder which young master it is?"

Xiao He was also interested, and she also liked Cheng Sanniang very much, so naturally she wanted her to marry into a good family.

Mrs. Yuan said: "He is the nephew of my eldest sister-in-law, the eldest son of the Jiang family."

"The Jiang family has been in the capital for many years. The whole family is full of scholars. The old man in the family and Mr. Jiang are both on duty at the Hanlin Academy. The second master in the family is the headmaster of Qianyang Academy. They are from a noble family. The eldest son of the Jiang family is also here now. He passed the imperial examination three years ago and is now in the Imperial College. He is also a talented person with a high profile and a wealth of knowledge. He had been engaged earlier, but the marriage was canceled due to incompatibility, and he was delayed due to the scientific examination. He is twenty this year. "

"I was very happy when I saw the third girl that day. I went back to my parents' house the next day and talked to my sister-in-law. Yesterday, my sister-in-law replied and said that Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were very satisfied. The eldest son of the Jiang family also ordered He bowed his head and said that he met the three girls of the Cheng family last month in a jewelry shop, and he was willing to do so."

"You think, isn't this fate?"

As soon as the phone call ended, Mr. Qin was stunned for a moment, and he felt that the Jiang family was better than the Zhang family, and it was the natal family of Mrs. Yuan's eldest sister-in-law, so it must be good, that is.

"Does this noble scholar think that my mother-in-law doesn't study much?"

Of course Cheng Sanniang had studied and was literate in Chinese and Chinese, but she didn't know anything about poetry, singing and dancing. What if the elder of the Jiang family got interested in poetry?

Mrs. Yuan smiled, "The Jiang family is full of scholars. I won't hide it from you. Even Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang are famous talented women in Beijing. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. The whole family is good at reading. , but she is a little bad at common affairs, so Mrs. Jiang was very happy when she heard that the third girl was not only literate, but also good at doing business and taking care of common affairs."

"You don't know, the most indispensable thing in this capital is girls with outstanding talents, but no matter how talented you are, the leisure and elegance will no longer be useful. In the end, you still have to deal with firewood, rice, oil and salt, and take care of the general affairs well. Girls are rare, and they are even more difficult to find if they can take care of household chores as well as business. What’s more, the third girl is good-looking, and she is a good girl who is hard to find even with a lantern."

Mrs. Yuan is not talking nonsense. The Niu family does not care that Cheng Erniang has been married. In addition to the fact that everyone in the capital knows that she has not consummated her marriage with Yan Bujiang, she also has a reputation as a housekeeper. It can be seen that no matter what era you are in, you must have something to take care of. ability.

Mrs. Qin almost shed tears when she praised her. This was the first time that a high-ranking lady praised her daughter like this. It made people very happy to hear it.

In the courtyard of the sisters, Cheng Xiaosi and Xuan'er were talking to Vincent with a smile. After receiving the news, Xiao Cheng Qing came and happily took Vincent to play with some novel toys he had just obtained.

Xun'er was older and knew more things. She smiled and said that Uncle Wu would also come today. "Grandma didn't let him come. She said it was not appropriate today and asked him to come another day."

"My aunt said that my fifth uncle likes my aunt very much."

Cheng Xiaosi smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows, "Really?"
