MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 12

Without being told by others, Cheng Shaoshang knew that Ge Shi was probably resolved. Not only did Ge Shi's scream, which she heard in her ears from time to time every day, disappeared, but she also didn't see the second aunt on the moving day.

Sorting out the flowers and plants in the forest garden, burning the fire walls and stoves in each house for a few days, and then moving the gold and silver-encrusted objects that Mother Cheng used to move in ahead of time, it is almost the same.

(Newly delivered by the enthusiastic Father Cheng), he was hugged by a four-sided curtain.

Cheng Shaoshang looked around and saw the gold lover Cheng's mother, the lame second uncle Cheng Cheng, and the shy cousin Cheng Cha who were all drowsy. The chubby cousin Cheng Hao was held in Mother Fu's arms and sat up, and a long line of people filed towards the door.

Jian soldiers, not ordinary servants, came to lift the steps, but they were still a little swaying, like lilies in the wind, and the rain hit the plantains... Uh, congratulations to XX flower farmers for a good harvest.

Cheng Shaoshang endured the chill of the deep winter, even with a white breath, he deliberately stuck his head out from the back of the foot and looked forward, seeing great joy in his heart. A Li, who was walking beside Bu Chau, looked at it and said, "Young lady, sit back quickly, don't worry about your eldest mother, she is stable." Cheng Shaoshang: ...

At this time, the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of blue-gray tulle, and the health servants on both sides of the steps were holding torches or lanterns in their hands. This situation, like a situation in a dream, Cheng Shaoshang didn't realize it.

In fact, the original Cheng family and the original Wan family were only separated by a small door, and they went directly from the small door to be closer; He walked out of the small door of the house, and then more solemnly detoured to the main entrance of the original Wanjia mansion.

Cheng Shi and his wife greeted them with a smile at the open gate. Two rows of guards standing in the shape of wild geese's wings and maids with lanterns, looking in through the gate, a group of well-dressed Nuo people wearing hideous masks and colorful woven feathers have knelt down and served inside. As soon as Cheng Shi saw the crowd coming, he hurried forward in three or two steps, and personally supported Cheng's mother, and behind Cheng Cheng and several children were supported by servants. Cheng's mother was happy, but said: "It's such a cold day, it will freeze my son, why not start the gong earlier?" Cheng Shi smiled and said: "If the elders don't come, who would dare to start the gong. If you are disrespectful and unfilial, the sky will not tolerate it." Raise your finger to show your sincerity.

Cheng Shaoshang, who was shivering in the back, rolled his eyes and said to his heart: You are saying it nicely now, as if no one saw the fight between your mother and son a few days ago.

At this time, Cheng Shi waved his hand, and the Nuo exorcism began with the ancient singing and the sound of gongs and irons; People always sang and danced not far ahead, and Zhu Wu, who was accompanying him, shouted the blessings of expelling the Nuo and welcoming the new year. Although the sky was not yet bright, the torches around it shone like daylight.

Mother Cheng, who was born in the countryside and had never seen anything in the world, had never seen such a pomp, and when she was in front of the willow by the pond, Cheng Shi deliberately made people smash the ice-covered lake. , and then delivered a bucket of "live fish" that I don't know whether it was asleep or fainted from freezing to Mother Cheng, and let it be released, and then everyone around clapped and applauded in unison. After some pretense, Mother Cheng was extremely happy. She didn't remember the Dong family and Ge family, she only knew that her son was still filial to her - as long as she didn't provoke the Xiao family.

questionable. As for the architectural style, it is neither like the softness and gentleness of the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River that she has seen before, nor the closed and towering courtyards of the giant courtyards in the north.

There are also pavilions and pavilions, all of which have an amazing sense of symmetry. Square is square, round is round, straight is straight, wide is flat, and there is absolutely no sense of pretense.

The whole house may not be so grand and majestic, but it is full of a simple and strong classical beauty.

When they arrived at the new owner's house, they slaughtered livestock again, and paid homage to this **** and that immortal, as well as the ancestors of the Cheng family. Cheng Shaoshang knew nothing about the superstition system at that time, only to find that there was neither Guanyin Bodhisattva nor Earth Store Tathagata, which was very strange in his heart; He was only slightly stronger than the chubby cousin who slept in Mother Fu's arms again, and Madam Xiao looked back at her in dissatisfaction.

It was so busy for two hours, and the whole ceremony was not completed until the middle of the day. Mother Cheng was still in high spirits, and jumped up from the futon with ease.

Mother Cheng looked back and frowned slightly. Such a large hall made the Cheng family more and more scarce, so she had a temper attack and wanted to smack her daughter-in-law, but Ge Shi was locked up , the third daughter-in-law Sang is far away, the eldest daughter-in-law Xiao-if the son has a bullish attack, what would you say, "Yuan Yi has four sons, mother, you only have three sons, you might as well criticize her first, I think Cheng The ancestors and ancestors of the family must be very satisfied with Yuan Yi." Then everyone's faces didn't look good.

Mother Cheng tried her best to hold down her tongue, turned her head and asked Hu Yu, "Why don't we invite a few guests, so our family is so deserted."

Hu Li smiled and said in a low voice: "Your lord has not yet been rewarded by the emperor, what's the point of inviting guests now. Wouldn't it be disgraceful to feast on guests when the official rank is raised? The gift money can also be charged a few more... This is what I secretly inquired about, in the future, don't mention the gift money or anything, I will be fined by the adults later. "

Mother Cheng smiled and nodded. Cheng Shaoshang, who was behind her, was beside Alime, dying thinking (I am really tired now), if she does not die of illness, she must be eligible to be ranked in the Cheng Family IQ TOP3.

In the next few days, Cheng's mother couldn't help walking around the house excitedly, admiring the house she had long admired with joy. Thinking that Mrs. Wan once sat in this pavilion, even if the north wind whistled, she would like to sit for a whole day; thinking that Mrs. Wan had watched fish and willows by this pond, she would like to put the fish Put on the willow branches and roasted it; thinking of how majestic Mrs. Wan used to live in the main house, she hugged the bed and did not want to get up. Cheng Shi and his wife were very satisfied with this state, and the Cheng family was in unprecedented harmony.

Uncle Cheng has a clean and elegant place, and there is a small two-and-a-half-story attic next to it, which can be used as a library - although only the building has no books. Without Ge Shi, who was yelling and scolding, but for a few days, the second uncle even turned ruddy, and he was able to chat a few small words during the concentrated meal, followed by the cold jokes of General Cheng.

Cheng Shaoshang also assigned a beautiful courtyard, with flowers and trees in front and bamboo forest in the back, and a path paved with white cobblestones on one side. A large empty house, not in use at present, may be used to store her dowry in the near future - if she gets married. The only downside is that it is too close to Cheng Shi and his wife's residence. If she wants to do something, Mrs. Xiao can get there in a moment without somersaults.

There is nothing to do in daily life, Cheng Shaoshang routinely recuperates from illness, because of his physical weakness, he can't learn cultural knowledge, so he can only continue to be illiterate, reading bamboo slips and guessing characters in his spare time. A few days later, Father Cheng excitedly told everyone at the afternoon tea table that the emperor not only promoted him to the rank of Qianshi, but also named him Marquis of Quling.

Cheng Shaoshang rubbed his palms and smiled: "Father must have won a great victory in Quling and made great contributions."

Cheng Shi saw her daughter's ruddy complexion recently, her heart was happy, and smiled: "That's not true, Quling was only a small battle; I've done some great work... oh, the battle in Yiyang, that's how happy it is!" He stroked his beard and sighed, looking back, "It's so happy, so happy!"

Mother Cheng, who was sitting on the upper Hu bed, put down the double ear cup and asked in confusion, "Then why did you make my son the Marquis of Quling? Why not make the Marquis of Yiyang?" Cheng Cha lowered her head and said nothing. She lightly filled her glass with buttermilk, her demeanor was submissive, and Mrs. Xiao, who was beside her, nodded secretly.

Cheng Shiku said narrowly: "Curly, take a guess."

Cheng Shaoshang tilted his head and thought, and said, "My father told me last time that Yiyang is an important town, the city is deep, and the battle is fierce. His eyes lit up, "Your Majesty the Emperor of Yiyang will leave it to others." Mrs. Xiao stopped the tooth stick in her hand and frowned at her.

Cheng Shi slapped the table and praised: "We are so smart, the current Marquis of Yiyang is that General Han!" Then he turned to Mother Cheng and said, "Although we are only Marquis of Guannei, but It’s also an unexpected joy, and there is another reward every year. The elders of the Wan family are promoted to Liehou, and there is a county in Shiyi.” Cheng’s mother was overjoyed and repeatedly praised: “…What kind of official is my son now? "

Cheng Shi and his wife looked at each other, knowing each other. Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "How can it be so fast? It has to be sealed layer by layer. General Wan has just joined the right general. Alas, but this time he injured his leg. I don't know if he will be able to play again in the future..."

Cheng Shaoshang saw the wink of Cheng Shi and his wife, and slowly put the lacquered wooden spoon on the table in front of him. Cheng's mother was displeased with Mrs. Xiao's call, gave her a blank look, and said: "What's the matter? The Wan family already has so much money and such a high title, so what if he doesn't go to battle? I hope my son won't have to fight for his life again." He raised his amphora and drank it, beside him. Cheng Cha poured another half a glass for her, and said respectfully, "Mom, we'll have dinner later. If you drink too much buttermilk, I'm afraid it won't be enough for dinner."

Mother Cheng thought for a while, put down the double ear cup and stopped drinking, and said with a smile, "You are very filial." While saying that, she deliberately went to see Cheng Shaoshang. Who knew that Cheng Shaoshang smiled and said: "Yes, my cousin is not only filial, but also very capable. I heard that the second uncle and the younger brother are taking care of the daily life of the cousin. No one said anything wrong."

Mother Cheng wanted to say, who knew that Cheng Shi had changed his face, and interrupted in a cold voice: "It seems that Ge Shi was the right one to send the infancy back to her mother's house. , Ge Taigong's tutoring is even worse than before."

Cheng Cha, with tears in her eyes, just knelt down and didn't dare to answer. Unable to look down, he said warmly, "Chengchu is a good child, all the girls in the Cheng family should be like her." After saying that, she gave her husband a sideways look, forbidding him to say any more, and Cheng's mother also shut up embarrassedly.

After the refreshment, Cheng Shi and his wife bowed and resigned, Cheng Shu continued to be filial, and Cheng Shaoshang followed his parents out of the Cixin Residence—the name that General Wan gave to his mother in those days. .

Said: "Father, are you going to go out again?"

Cheng Shi, who was in the front, was startled and turned back: "What are you talking about!" He hurriedly looked at Mrs. Xiao, and his eyes were filled with 'I didn't tell her'. Mrs. Xiao waved her hand to back away from the servants, looked at her daughter calmly, and said, "How do you know?" She didn't hide it.

, I don't think my father's expression seems to be crowded and feared, that is, the upper face has other uses for my father... Father, is there a risk? Now the family is not short of anything, just push it if you can." This is the truth. In this family, besides Ah Li, the one she likes most is Father Cheng.

"My son is really smart!" Cheng Shi heard his little daughter's childish and caring words, and his heart warmed, hehe laughed; at the same time, he glanced at his wife carefully, and quickly said "Don't worry, it's not all about fighting this time. You won't be leaving until the next month after Zhengdan. Well, you're not all done yet, so hurry back to your room to rest, and don't get cold again."

…

Back to the couple's residence, Cheng Shi took off his thick brocade robe and complained: "You have to wait better, she has suffered grievances for more than ten years, don't always praise her. Her child's house is not happy to hear it."

"She has been in this world for thirteen years and several months, and she only separated from us at the age of three, how come it has been more than ten years!" Mrs. Xiao raised her voice, and then said: "Could it be You shouldn't boast!"

She took Cheng Cheng's robe and said: "My biological mother is such an incompetent idiot, and she has lost such a big person, but she does not complain or resentment, neither humble nor arrogant, and does her best to be around her every day. Now, she is in charge of the food and daily life of the second brother and Ou'er. Be filial to the father and take care of the younger brother. You don't know, Ou'er is no longer fooling around these days, and I am afraid that she recognizes more characters than your daughter every day. , second brother, not to mention, mentioning this daughter is nothing but compliments. Let's take a look at the curls..."

"What's the matter with Nailu!" Cheng Shi said displeased, "Is there someone to teach me since I was a child, has anyone taught me? The eldest wife of the Ge family is a virtuous and well-known person in our village. Taigong Ge still has some vision. Back then, when he saw his eldest daughter-in-law in person, he asked for half of his family's property. How bad would it be to stay by her side? How pitiful we are, with such a thing!"

Mrs. Xiao stopped talking for a long time, Fang said: "No matter how pitiful, you have to teach, otherwise..."

"Nothing else." Cheng Shi smiled, "She's so smart, it's up to you, guess what you're going to do, you'll know it right away. So, if you want to marry a wife, you must marry someone who is smart, right? Hello kids!"

"What's the use of being smart, integrity is the priority..."

Mrs. Xiao was blocked, gave her husband a blank look, lowered her head and didn't know what to think. After a long while, she sighed inexplicably.

Outside the door, Mrs. Qing Li was standing there holding hot water, and sighed after hearing these words.

—In those days, Mrs. Xiao could not be said to be unskillful. It was all brilliant to take people's words, guess people's meanings, and shirk their responsibilities. However, she is only clever, but she has no great wisdom, and she uses that little cleverness on herself. She only cares about people and things related to her, and she only knows to live a comfortable life and let herself be weak and loving. No responsibility.

The author has something to say:

There is no conspiracy theory about the heroine's life experience.
