After time travel, I became a talented lady

Ask what love is in the world, and directly teach life and death.

Shen Ruyi stood aside, watching her second cousin and Liu Yuniang embrace each other passionately, feeling extremely envious in her heart.

When everyone returned to the house, Liu Yunniang sneezed three times in a row. It was already early winter, and there was another heavy rain. Cheng Deqing was afraid that Liu Yunniang would freeze, so he hugged Liu Yunniang and went directly to the bathroom.

The warm water enveloped Liu Yunniang with warmth. Liu Yunniang felt that the world was beautiful and she was alive again. Cheng Deqing felt relieved when he saw her spirited up. The two took off their clothes and hugged each other naked. There was no lust, only cherishment after loss.

This night was silent and intense, forbearing and indulgent.

The next day, everyone in the house knew that several people had narrowly escaped death last night. The old lady was so frightened that she chanted Buddha all night in the ancestral hall. Needless to say, the uncle, if he was the only one left among the three brothers, who would be able to support the huge family business in the future? With? With no one to support him, how could he continue to enjoy cockfights and prostitutes in a down-to-earth manner! The eldest lady also put aside her thoughts of comparison and jealousy, and led Jinzhu to the Sandalwood Courtyard with the supplements.

In the Tanxiang Courtyard, Cheng Deqing took leave today and was warming up his books in the study. Liu Yunniang had recovered from her fever early in the morning and drank some porridge. She was leaning on the bed and was in good spirits. Shen Ruyi and Aunt Zhang were sitting by the bed. Aunt Zhang Holding Liu Yunniang's hand, she felt sincerely.

"If it weren't for Yun Niang and something happened to Ruyi, I really don't know how I would survive," Aunt Zhang said, wiping her tears again in fear.

Liu Yuniang said with a smile, "I don't know why, but I suddenly felt that I couldn't stay in the shed. I guess it was God who guided me."

Aunt Zhang said again, "Buddha bless you, Amitabha Buddha" and recited the Buddha's name.

The woman next to me said, "I heard that the government dug out dozens of people last night. I'm sorry to see you. How sad this family is. They came out happily to perform, but they suffered such a misfortune..."

There was silence in the room for a moment. Shen Ruyi took Aunt Zhang's hand. Aunt Zhang patted her daughter and comforted her, "Let's donate more to the government's fund-raising, as a sign of good deeds. We also wish them safety, success, joy and happiness in the next life."

Liu Yunniang also asked Ruping to donate some, which was more or less her intention.

When the eldest lady arrived, several people were talking about the sermon. The eldest lady sat beside the bed, patted Liu Yunniang's hand, and said sincerely, "God bless you, it shows that our Yunniang is blessed."

Liu Yuniang felt her sincerity and couldn't help but smile. Is this a friend in need is a friend indeed?

Ruping walked in, smiled and said to everyone, "Madam, madam, the old lady is here." Everyone stood up and went out to greet her. Liu Yunniang also got out of bed and put on her shoes, supported the old lady to her grandma and left. When I came in, I saw Liu Yunniang putting on her shoes. She smiled and said, "Yunniang, lie down quickly. You are not feeling well. How can you get up? Lie down quickly."

Aunt Zhang answered with a smile, "Yunniang Mingli, the old lady knows it, lie down quickly." Shen Ruyi personally helped put the big pillow.

The old lady sat beside the bed, took Liu Yunniang's hand, and sighed, "My son, you are blessed, but you scare me. You must choose an auspicious day and follow me to Jiyun Temple to worship Buddha. , thank Buddha for blessing my son."

Liu Yuniang smiled and said yes, and the old lady patted her hand lovingly.

The whole room was chatting lively, and everyone was talking sincerely. It was a harmonious atmosphere that had never been seen before.

The door curtain opened again, and Cui'er ran in again. Her voice was clear and clear, "Old madam, the chief steward has sent a letter. The old man has arrived in Quanzhou. If we take another waterway, we can reach Qiantang in three days!"

The old lady said in surprise, "Oh, this is a great thing. Last time I received a letter from the old man, he said he could only come back before the year before. It seems like we can come back and spend the winter months together."

The eldest lady is also very happy. The old man who suffered a thousand cuts is finally back. The old man has been asking for money like crazy recently, so he almost had to sell her. If she hadn't hidden it tightly, he would have saved her money with all the hard work in the past few years. My private money will also be stolen, so I have to find a way to reveal it to the old man.

At the dock in Quanzhou, the old man Cheng Jingze followed the workers and inspected the goods up and down. Along the way, they traveled by sea from Quanzhou to the Polu Kingdom and then to the Persian Country. Daqi's textiles, silk, tea and porcelain were very popular. , all sold at high prices. He also purchased local pepper, fennel and spices. These are hot goods in Daqi. Things are rare and valuable, especially ambergris from Persia, which is worth thousands of gold. Noble people flock to him like ducks.

This trip was not in vain.

The cargo ship spent a day repairing and replenishing supplies in Quanzhou, and then transferred to inland water transportation to reach Qiantang in less than three days. Old Mrs. Cheng stroked his beard and couldn't help but laugh when he thought of his innocent and weak old wife at home. He also thought of the old man who was eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, the unruly and rebellious second man, and the simple and simple Sanlang, and he couldn't help but frown again.

Fortunately, the daughters-in-law are all sensible and polite, and good daughters will last for three generations, so the grandchildren should not be too out of line in the future.

Thinking of this, his brows widened again.

The Cheng family in Qiantang is decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere, and it is more lively than the Chinese New Year. The girls and women are also smiling. The old man is back, and the Cheng family guys who went to sea together are also back. When the man is back, there is a backbone. The butler walked with a breeze, telling the servants to cheer up. If someone made a mistake and lost his face at the critical moment, he didn't want to do it anymore.

The lady in the inner courtyard was also very busy, instructing the maids and women to sweep the courtyard, prune flower branches, take down the door curtains and replace them with rich and noble reunion patterns to suit the occasion. The furniture was also polished and shiny, and even the stove was decorated with oil. The lady in the kitchen kept it neat and bright.

Cheng Decai didn't dare to go to prostitutes these days. People in gambling houses blocked him everywhere. Even his lively fighting cock General seemed to know that the good days were coming to an end. He squatted in the cage to catch the quails these days. After having enough wine and food, I went to hang out with Aunt Yue.

Aunt Yue, with her bare white arms, drew circles on the uncle's fat belly, and said quietly, "Master, in the garden today, I saw the cousin wearing a beaded hairpin with a big thing embedded in it. Where are the pearls? Master, I am very envious when I look at them~"

Cheng Decai thought of his cousin, this little bitch, who had pockmarked his face and he hadn't even settled the accounts with her yet. Since he was so rich, why not go get some flowers?

Seeing that the uncle was silent, Aunt Yue rubbed her plump breasts again, "Master, you haven't bought flowers for me for a few days. I don't even dare to go out to meet people~"

Cheng Decai glanced at Yueniang and thought to himself, he had lost all his underwear, how could he get the money to buy her flowers? I couldn't bear to let the little beauty down, so I thought about it, hey, I can only pay with my flesh!

He lifted up Yueniang's little face, kissed her plump little mouth, and said with a smile, "Those are vulgar things. My Yueniang is the most beautiful without makeup or clothes. I love you so much, uncle." ." He said that he would press it down.

When Aunt Yue saw that she was out of luck, she was still interested in doing tricks. She quickly called out "Ouch" and said sweetly, "Sir, I've already enjoyed it. I have to go to the garden later, but I don't have the energy." "I'm done." He pushed hard against Cheng Decai with both hands, but what he was thinking in his heart was that the man with the silver gun and the wax head just flattered you for the sake of money!

When Cheng Decai heard this, he felt relieved and turned over to lie down again. His waist was so weak that he had to let the kitchen stew some tonic soup!

Three days later, at the dock of Qiantang River, the Cheng family's carriage took the old man back home. The Cheng family set off firecrackers, unknowingly thinking that Cheng Zhai had something good going on. Everyone familiar with it knew that the old man had returned from the sea.

Magistrate Zhang listened to the faint sound of firecrackers, stretched his head and looked in the direction of Cheng's house, thinking about the white money that would come to the door soon, and rubbed his hands happily.

The man standing on one side smiled and said, "Lord Magistrate, whose family is having such a happy event? It will make you happy too."

Magistrate Zhang was startled and hurriedly put away his secret joy and said respectfully, "My lord, this is Cheng Jingze, the richest man in this county, who has returned from overseas. I am so happy for the government when I think of the taxes that will be paid soon."

The man looked at Magistrate Zhang with a half-smile, "Cheng's family? Is that the one we talked about yesterday?" After saying that, he took a sip of tea.

Magistrate Zhang did not dare to raise his head, his body felt weak, and he stood aside respectfully, "Yes, then Cheng Deqing is his second son."

"Hehehe", the man chuckled and put down the tea cup, "Okay, it's good to have money, but I'm afraid he won't have money!"

Magistrate Zhang was shocked when he heard this.

In the front yard of Cheng's house, the old man Da Ma Jin Dao was sitting on the main seat. The chief steward took the shopkeepers of various shops to meet the old man. After listening to the report, the old man knew that he had been away for only half a year and had nothing major to do in his business. The stewards also performed their duties step by step. He felt relieved and praised him highly. The chief steward asked him to unload the goods in the dock as soon as possible and wait to put them in the shop for sale. The chief steward smiled and listened to the instructions and went to make arrangements.

After the arrangements were made, the old man went to the backyard. The whole family gathered around the old man to greet him. The old lady looked at the old man's tanned face and felt sad. The old man patted his wife's hand comfortingly and smiled and greeted Aunt Zhang. He said hello and then looked at everyone.

Dalang still had a wretched look on his face. The old man put down his tea cup and narrowed his eyes, "Dalang, why do I see that you are more kidney-deficient than before I left? Tell me what you have done in the past six months!"

The old man was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down. Just as he was about to report the truth, he thought again that the old lady was soft-hearted and kind, so she expected not to say much. The butler had given her a gift, so she probably wouldn't say much either. When I thought about it, Feeling a little overwhelmed, I plucked up the courage to say, "My son is studying this business day and night. He does business with the big housekeeper. Sometimes he also has fun, but he is honest and honest."

The old man sneered after hearing this, "I'm afraid he's not specializing in some evil ways! I'll have to check it out when I get some free time!" The old man trembled in fright.

As he spoke, he looked at Cheng Deqing again. The old wife's letter said that Erlang had begun to study hard. Seeing that he was upright and elegant, he smiled and took the tea cup again, "I heard that you have been studying hard. As a father, I am very pleased."

Cheng Deqing was neither humble nor arrogant, with a steady voice, "My son is not sensible, so my parents have to worry about it."

The old man smiled heartily after hearing this. The rebellious Erlang turned around and found hope, and the Cheng family had hope of shining brightly!

He looked at Sanlang again. He was a tall and thin boy, still childlike. He looked at him with admiration and said with a smile, "If Sanlang studies hard, when will he be able to become a scholar like your second brother?"

Saburo said happily, "My son is not as talented as my second brother, but my husband said that my son can try next year."

The old lady was also sitting on the side, looking at Sanlang kindly, and said with a smile, "Our Sanlang works very hard. He leaves early and comes back late every day. Sometimes he goes to the academy in the morning without waiting for dinner. I look at his face. I’ve lost weight.”

The old man glanced at Cheng Deqing secretly, smiled and said to Sanlang, "Okay, I must follow your second brother's example."

After that, he said to the eldest wife, "Thank you for your hard work, my wife. You have to take care of the whole family. If I don't live up to my expectations, you should take good care of me. If he doesn't listen, just repay me!"

The eldest lady's eyes turned red when she heard this, she blinked her eyes, not daring to shed tears, and replied with a smile.

The old man looked at Erlang's wife again, nodded slightly, and Liu Yunniang also bowed her knees.

Third Master, Aunt Zhang asked the old man about the scenery of Persia. The old man was eloquent, spitting, and vividly talked about the customs and customs along the way, which made everyone stunned.

The family had a lively meal around the table. After the meal, the old man left Cheng Deqing alone in the study.

The third master watched silently as the father and son walked away.

"Our ancestors of the Cheng family also produced Jinshi. The ancestors worshiped the imperial censor Zhongcheng. Unfortunately, they have never been successful. You became a talented young man and became a scholar early. Your grandfather had high hopes for you. You felt aggrieved and neglected your studies. For the sake of Father feels sorry for you, but I also know that you have to figure this out yourself."

"Your brother above you died but you are still alive. Your mother complained about you, but your mother did not feel sorry for you. There are many unfair things in life. If you want to give up on yourself, no one can save you!"

Cheng Deqing pursed his lips and said nothing. There were many unfair things, why should he bear them?

The old man looked at his stubborn look and sighed, "Now that you can think about it, I am very happy for you as a father. I will not be successful in my life. I only hope that you can change the lintel and fulfill your grandfather's wish."

Cheng Deqing knelt down, kowtowed, and went out in silence.

When the old man saw Cheng Deqing like this, he realized that he was not calm yet. As long as he made steady progress, nothing else mattered.

After returning to the front yard, he ordered the butler to distribute the gifts and specialties purchased along the way to each courtyard, and asked the butler to put the gifts for the magistrate and magistrate of the government in a separate room, and wait for the appointment to visit his parents.

I called the errand boy to go to my in-laws' place to ask when he was free. When he came back from a trip, he would always sit down and talk about old times.

The Wang family, who are doing business together, heard from the housekeeper that there have been frequent conflicts between the two families recently, so they have to take time to sit down and talk. Only by being friendly can they make money.

After arranging these things, the whole day passed. Just as I was about to go back to Yi'an Courtyard to talk about love and life with my old wife, I saw a waiter at the second door peeking his head out in a sneaky way.

Cheng Jingze shouted, "Who is snooping in front of my door!" Upon hearing this, the boy guarding the second door hurriedly ran over and said aggrievedly, "Master, this person is asking for help for nothing. I have asked someone to report it. If the uncle is not in the house, this person just won’t leave.”

When the waiter saw the old man, he knew that he was the one who made the final decision. With a smile on his face, he complimented, "Mr. Cheng, I know that you have just come back and are very busy, so I shouldn't bother you, but our boss has said that we won't see you today." Master, please don’t go back, I have no choice but to disturb you, I apologize to you."

After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed. Cheng Jingze asked, "Why do you want to see the uncle? Could it be that you got into trouble outside?" The boy didn't say anything, and only said that he wanted to see the uncle.

Cheng Jingze was puzzled, so he stopped asking. He waved to the boy to run around again, and then he went back to Yi'an Courtyard.
