Ning Huitang.

Since Cheng Shao came back from outside, he has a gloomy face and has not spoken.

Wang thoughtfully brought Cheng Shao a bowl of sobering soup, "Thank you for your hard work these days."

It has been half a month since he returned to Beijing. Cheng Shao went out for social activities all day long, and gave calligraphy and paintings, and money. Liu Shangshu still kept himself hanging and refused to give him a letter of approval. The former left minister of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Wang, had submitted his resignation and the emperor also approved it. If he dragged on like this, he would not know what would happen.

Cheng Shao sighed, "It's okay to work harder, but I'm afraid of having nothing to do when I'm idle." He is 38 years old this year. It would be terrible to be idle like this for the rest of his life.

Wang comforted, "Master, don't worry, if you want to inquire again, does Shangshu Liu want anything else?"

Cheng Shao's face looked even more ugly, "Shangshu Liu said that he had a young son, who was 18 years old this year. He met a girl on the street a few days ago. It should be from our mansion. Judging from that, it means he wants to get married."

Wang's face showed joy, "Good thing! What a high family background in the Shangshu Mansion! Who did he meet? Who has gone out these days?" Wang's voice was so excited that he also had a little higher voice. No matter who it was, it would be a great thing to have a marriage to the Shangshu Mansion. Is Cheng Shao still worried about his future?

Cheng Shao looked at Wang, who was so excited that he was so excited that he said coldly, "Don't you ask him what kind of person is his youngest son? How could the girl in her family be so careless?"

Wang realized that Cheng Shao was wrong, and smiled and hesitated, "Shangshu Liu's son should be fine, right? Have you ever inquired about it?"

Cheng Shao closed his eyes and sighed, "I don't need to deliberately inquire. His youngest son Liu Shiming was born and raised by his concubine. He is a famous playboy. He goes to the fireworks all day long and looks like he is emptying his body by wine and sex at a young age. Can you still be happy when you come to Cheng's house to marry a daughter?"

Wang secretly regretted that he was too anxious just now, and did not ask clearly the situation first. He was really inappropriate as a mistress. "I'm too anxious. What should I do now? How did the master do him?"

Cheng Shao said, "I just rude that I don't know which girl it is. And you and Gu are in charge of the marriage of your children. I have to ask what you mean. Judging from what he meant, they had met in Jingci'an..."

Wang was secretly happy and said worriedly, "That's Jin'er! But what should I do? Jin'er, the child, has been following her, I'm really worried."

Cheng Shao was unhappy, "Why did you have to follow her all the time?"

Wang sighed, "The master has been busy these days, and I don't want to bother the master with these things, and I don't believe in these things. There are two pear trees in the yard where Jin'er lives. It has been there since the founding of the Chengfu Mansion. The fruits are big and sweet, and we can eat them for a while every year. However, just a few days after Jin'er lived in, the pear tree began to lose its leaves and fruits. Now it is almost dead. The servants who are taking care of the flowers and plants can see it, but there is no problem. Some people in the mansion are panic, thinking that Jin'er's fate is hard, and the pear tree is also killed by her. Now the servants dare not go to Luo Yuxuan, for fear of being implicated and losing their lives."

Cheng Shao said angrily, "Nothing! You let the servants spread gossip!"

Wang said aggrievedly, "I don't believe it either. I have already passed the message and can't spread it anymore. But the mansion is still panicked, and I am also worried. It's also strange, why did the tree die well? But Jin'er just moved in..."

Cheng Shao was so annoyed. He was already annoyed enough outside. When he got home, he was such a mess. He frowned, "Why didn't he have a peaceful life!"

Wang stood up and walked behind Cheng Shao, and gently rubbed Cheng Shao's head with his hands, "The things have not been going well recently. Liu Shangshu has used enough silver and the painting is worth enough. Didn't the master say that day that Shangshu Liu was very happy to find a treasure? It's said that this matter was for sure, but now this situation has happened again, which makes him unwilling to respond to the master."

Wang said this to Cheng Shao. He also felt that it should have been a foregone conclusion, but now it is a bit strange. At the root of it, it is still a restless person. If she stayed peacefully in the temple and stayed at home, how could she meet Liu Shiming? How could she have such a passive situation today?

Cheng Shao said helplessly, "In the future, be careful and don't let her go out and run away."

Wang said softly, "I will talk to her tomorrow, but I dare not say too much. I am a childish person. If I don't do it well, I will misunderstand that I will treat her worse than Wen Fei."

Cheng Shao thought that when Young-Bai came to Ninghuitang for dinner a few days ago, he made a lot of requests, and everything was as good as Wen Fei, so he was a little displeased. "This child was so arrogant that he asked him not to come out in the yard, be more female-red, and be more arrogant."

Wang got what he wanted and responded softly, "Why would the master plan to reply to him on Shangshu Liu? If he doesn't agree, he may have to do this job..."

Cheng Shao said, "I'll deal with it for a while." He didn't want to talk again.

Early the next morning, Zheng's mother went to Luo Yuxuan with a arrogant attitude and notified: "The master's instructions, please stay in Luo Yuxuan embroidery in the future, read more "Female Ethics" and "Female Training" and don't go out to cause trouble."

Youfeng didn't expect that Cheng Shao would listen to Wang like this, because he wanted to lock himself in the yard because of the two pear trees? "Mom Zheng always has to explain the reason. Where did I do something wrong?"

Zheng's mother said contemptuously, "Miss Cousin, be more stable, don't implicate Miss Cheng Jin and others' reputation." Then she left with her hand and the maid followed her locked the door from outside.

The few people in the yard were confused and didn't know what was going on.

Youhua asked Zhang's mother and Qingzhi to enter the house and close the door.

Youzi asked, "What do you think? Let's talk about it?"

Zhang's mother thought about it and said, "I thought it was the eldest lady who told the master about the pear tree, and the master believed her words. But what does this have to do with the petal Yu? I didn't understand it."

Youzi was puzzled. What Zheng's mother said was all about her restlessness. She thought about it carefully and only contacted a few cousins ​​today, and there was still a maid in front of her. Besides, this happened a few days ago, and it shouldn't have happened at this time.

Qingzhi said, "The lady has always been a good person and has not contacted the foreign man. Why did she implicate the reputation of the girl in the mansion?"

The foreign man? The young man suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Yes, a few days ago, she and Qingzhi met the playboy on the East Street. Could it be that this matter? "Qingzhi, do you remember which house he came from when he met the playboy a few days ago?"

Before Qingzhi could reply, Zhang's mother was anxious first, "What a playboy? How did you meet? Miss, don't scare the old slave!"

Seeing that Zhang's mother was like this, Qingzhi was a little afraid to say it. If she talked about this, her crime of sheltering would be a big deal, and Zhang's mother would definitely have to settle the score later.

Youzi comforted her, "Qingzhi, you can tell me, this matter needs to be discussed for a long time, and Mother Zhang will know sooner or later."

As soon as he said this, Zhang's mother's face became darker.

Qingzhi looked as if he was ready to die. "The playboy said in Xiaoqingshan that he was the son of the Minister of Rites. He seemed to be named Liu. He said that his father was highly valued by the crown prince..."

Mama Zhang sat down on the ground, "I've seen it in Xiaoqingshan? Miss..."

Youzi hurriedly pulled Zhang's mother with Qingzhi and explained the matter to Zhang's mother one by one, which shocked Zhang's mother. She didn't expect Youzi and the others to hide such a big thing from her. If there was something wrong... she couldn't even imagine it.

After a while, Zhang's mother calmed down after a little comfort.
