Chapter 21 Farewell
After Wang's defense, Cheng Shao's doubts disappeared and he went to find Cheng Jin again.
Cheng Jin finally saw that Cheng Shao's rumor was not groundless, so he laughed in anger, "Sister-in-law is so eloquent. Since she feels so sorry for Jin'er, aren't you afraid that she will be assassinated again? Wouldn't you throw it into the temple like this?"
Cheng Shao's face suddenly felt a little unconscious, "It's true that her life is hard. My mother was in such good health back then, so why wouldn't it take less than a year? What if there is anyone in the Cheng family who has a few shortcomings, I'm afraid it's too late to regret it!"
Cheng Jin asked, "Will the elder brother let Jin'er die in Jingci'an?"
Cheng Shao said unhappily, "The second brother questioned his brother like this and he was really confident of being promoted."
Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Are you unhappy if I was promoted to the position of the boss?"
Cheng Shao slapped the table and said angrily, "Bastard!" He actually shook his hand and got up and left.
Cheng Jin was originally half-believing and half-doubting, but now he believes it completely. His sister-in-law Wang must be the one who poisoned him.
When Cheng Jin returned to Jingci Temple, Youzi was copying scriptures in the side hall.
Cheng Jin stood at the door of the side hall, looking at the young man who was copying scriptures. The sun shone on her face, and there seemed to be a halo on her delicate little face. Is such a peaceful and beautiful little girl really going to let her die alone in Jingci'an? My mother loved young man so much before she died. How sad it would be if she knew something from the spring. He didn't know how to tell Young man, and he felt deeply powerless. It was hateful that he was not the head of the Cheng family and could not make decisions for her.
Become a family member? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, and Cheng Jin thought of two words that he never dared to think about before - dividing the family!
Although many aristocratic families, especially those of officials, have not separated their families for several generations to ensure the prosperity of the family, as long as both parents are no longer alive, they are all separated. Now Cheng Jin’s parents are no longer there, and they will soon be filial piety, and they will not be labeled as unfilial even if they are separated. Now that the eldest brother and sister-in-law are so obsessed, Jin'er is in danger again, so they will be separated and live with the second house.
Cheng Jin thought about it carefully again and felt that it was very feasible and couldn't help but smile with relief.
Mama Zhang found Cheng Jin at the door and bowed her body to pay tribute.
When Youhua heard the movement, he looked up and saw that it was Cheng Jin, "Why didn't your uncle come in?"
Cheng Jin gave a tribute to Master Huiming opposite, and then walked to the young master, "I saw you copying scriptures seriously, and I couldn't bear to disturb you."
Youzi put his pen and stood up and moved his wrists and arms, "I'm tired too, so take a break."
Cheng Jin picked up the sutra copied by Youhua and said in surprise, "Jin'er is very good at writing!"
Youhua smiled, "My uncle has been awarded for nothing, I have nothing to do in my leisure time in the temple, so I have written too much."
Cheng Jin looked at the words in his hand, "I have never written such good words for thirty years. Jin'er is very talented."
Youhua smiled and asked Cheng Jin, "What news did your uncle bring?"
The smile on Cheng Jin's face dissipated, he put down the scriptures, and sighed, "The eldest lady does not admit that it was her doing. I can't provide any exact evidence, and my elder brother believes her. As long as the eldest brother is in charge, it will be difficult for you to return to Cheng Mansion."
Youzi comforted, "Don't worry, uncle, let's think of another way."
Cheng Jin said, "I just had an idea. The Cheng family should separate the family and you should live with the second house."
Youzi never thought that Cheng Jin could do this for her, and was quite moved. "My uncle was willing to bear the infamy for Jin'er, and Jin'er was grateful." Instead, he said, "Maybe once his uncle proposed to split up, his aunt would agree to Jin'er return home."
Cheng Jin also figured out the key points and suddenly smiled, "Jin'er is smart."
Youzi said again, "Even if my uncle wants to separate, he will have to wait until the filial piety period is released next month. Don't leave any real population, and don't leave any time for my aunt to deal with it."
Cheng Jin nodded and worried, "It's just that you're still in the temple this month, I'm always worried."
Master Huiming, who was standing by, chanted the Buddha's name, "Don't worry, don't worry, Pomni has arranged two disciples who know how to work hard to live in a side courtyard, and the temple has also arranged to take turns to patrol on night, so what donor will be safe."
Youzi has never left Jingci'an since then. Jueqing Jueci has been following you closely. At night, the two of them took turns to watch outside, and Zhang's mother and Qingzhi also took turns to watch in Youzi's house.
Youzi hasn't been to Mr. Han's place for a long time. Xiaowu came and called him a few times. Youzi was inconvenient to talk about poisoning, so he just asked him to bring some snacks back. Occasionally, he would write some practical arithmetic techniques to let Mr. Han bring them to Mr. Han.
Xiaowu came again early this morning, saying that if the young man didn't go, the old man would be upset.
Youzi took Qingzhi and Jueqing Jueci, and four strong nuns, and followed Xiaowu to the thatched cottage. A few days ago, the sweet potatoes were released, and Cheng Jin picked out some small and unsuitable for the seeds for Youzi. Youzi had promised that the old man would give him a bag of sweet potatoes when they came out. He then carried a small bag.
Since the old man came in, he looked arrogant and pretended not to see him.
The young man was not annoyed, so he went to the kitchen to make a plate of crispy fried potato cakes and a plate of vinegar and shredded potatoes and brought them over, and put them in front of the old man with a smile.
The old man snorted, looked at the food on the table, then looked at the young man, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
After the meal, the young man respectfully handed over the tea. The old man took the tea and drank it. His anger was mostly relieved. "You little girl, I won't force you to write poetry anymore. Why are you still hiding from me?"
Youhua smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Youhua has been deeply touched by what the old man said last time, and you have been studying the mystery of numbers these days. Once you invest, you don't want to interrupt it, so you have never come out."
The old man suddenly felt energetic, "But what have you figured out? Tell me about it."
Youzi still wanted to spread some practical knowledge in this era. Youzizi then accurately calculated the calculation formula of circles. Although there were calculation methods at this time, the accuracy was insufficient, and it expanded the calculation of surface area and volume of cylindrical cones, as well as the calculation methods of trapezoidal area and related geometric bodies. These are too useful in agricultural civil engineering river embankments, etc.
Youzi explained the derivation process in detail. The old man was very focused and asked his own questions at any time, feeling that he was back when he was studying for a young man.
After finishing the talk, I found that nearly two hours had passed and it was noon.
Qingzhi was anxious, but he didn't dare to interrupt. Now that she saw that Youhua had finished speaking, she hurriedly urged her to go back.
The old man said, "The autumn examination is coming soon. I will go back to the capital tomorrow. It is more convenient to go to Songshan Academy. Today I will tell you about this."
Youzi had known Mr. Han’s identity before, so it was not surprising at this time. “Okay, I’ll see the old man off tomorrow.”
The old man waved his hand, "No need. I'm afraid I won't be back for a few months. When will you stay in Jingci'an? If you leave, I don't know where to look for you." The old man had never asked about You've had a history of life, and I must have had some pain in it, but now I'm reluctant to break off contact with this young friend.
Youzi sighed, "I don't know either."
The old man asked, "Which mansion do you come from?"
Youzi whispered, "Her Wenchang, the former governor of Lin'an, is now... neither of his parents are alive, and his grandmother is no longer there."
The old man suddenly realized, "You are the daughter of the prefect of He Gong? I have met Lingzun several times and I can get along well with him. Will your family leave you here and ignore you?"
Youzi said helplessly, "There are many things in it, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words. If you are lucky, maybe I will be in the capital in one or two months. If you are unlucky, I will not be trapped here, and there will always be a way to get out."
The old man praised, "Little girl is so ambitious! If you can't go back, you can send someone to the Han Mansion in the capital to send a letter, and someone will go to the academy to notify me." As he said that, he left his own famous post for the young master.
Youzi nodded and answered the famous post.
