The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 18
In the coming summer, there are rare flowers everywhere in Chengguo Mansion, and there is a layer of greenery everywhere. Even if you look at it from a distance through the high wall, you can imagine how the flowers are blooming inside. How beautiful the scenery is.

In particular, the garden of Duke Cheng's Mansion is said to have been re-arranged and designed by the young master of Cheng Guo's Mansion after five years. It is not only elegant and beautiful, but also has a different scenery from other houses.

During the period, there are stacked rockeries, small bridges and flowing water, especially the lake in the garden, which changes color every morning and evening in various seasons, which is really rare.

Most families in Jinling City know that when it comes to gardens, they must be counted as the exquisiteness, uniqueness and originality of Cheng Guogong's mansion, which is unmatched by anyone.

At this time, Cheng Ping'an was having wine with several young wives in the chic garden of Duke Cheng's mansion, and Xiao Qing and Linglong were also by his side. The little lady fell in love at first sight, and I was very curious about how pretty the little lady of the Ji family looks."

Linglong pursed her lips and smiled: "Master, isn't it better than Aunt Bai?"

This Aunt Bai is the oiran of Wanhualou, and it is said that she is a courtesan, the most noble, she is a performer but not a person, she once went to visit Wanhualou in peace, and after she was drunk, she went crazy and wrote a poem with a pen. Come on, when Aunt Bai saw that poem, she fell in love with Cheng Ping'an's talent and learning, so she devoted herself to follow him. Cheng Ping'an was also affectionate and righteous to Aunt Bai, and redeemed her body and brought her into Duke Cheng's mansion to carry her aunt.

Speaking of which, in the mansion of Duke Mancheng, the most beautiful thing is Aunt Bai.

"How can this be compared?" Cheng Ping'an got a little drunk, put his arms around Linglong and smiled, "That's a different kind of beauty, Aunt Bai is gentle, Miss Ji is cold, light and elegant, don't have a taste, just like……"

Cheng Ping'an said for a while that the image of Daiyu in the Red Mansion appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help singing: "Two eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy. The posture gives birth to two dimples of worry, and the beauty is beautiful. Illness all over the body. Tears are a little bit, and panting is slight. When you are quiet, you are like a beautiful flower shining in the water, and when you are in action, you are like a weak willow supporting the wind. The heart is more open than dry, and the disease is like Xizi, which is three points better."

It doesn't matter what he chanted, the startled little wives all felt their hearts beat, Xiao Qing was even more serious: "Sir, is Ji's lady so pretty?"

"It's pretty, it's pretty tight, it's not much different from my goddess Daiyu, you don't know, when I saw her for the first time, I glanced at her, and in my heart, I couldn't stop dancing, I didn't know what love at first sight is. ..." Cheng Ping'an knocked on the bowl with chopsticks, talking and singing at one time, he looked unrestrained and unrestrained, and besides, he leaned against the red and green, and when he took a quick look, it was really enviable.

Those little wives suddenly felt worried, and Linglong smiled and toasted Cheng Pingan again: "My husband has learned a lot, thinking about it, Miss Ji will definitely be willing to marry."

Aunt Liu on the side also laughed: "I heard that Ji's family is poor, and Miss Ji must have a bad life. Our Duke's mansion is the most wealthy. Miss Ji is here, she must be happy, and my husband likes it that much." As for her, our sisters must take her as the main one. From now on, the sisters will serve the husband well, watch the scenery and talk together in their free time, and can also write some poems. I don’t know how happy they will be.”

Xiao Qing felt contemptuous when she heard Aunt Liu's words, but she nodded in agreement.

Linglong smiled and said: "That's right, when the time comes, we will all play together, we will definitely have a good time."

The effort of these few people's words has already dug a big hole for the little lady Ji who they think is going to come to the mansion to be a decent grandmother.

Aunt Liu said in the first sentence that Ji's family has no money. If Miss Ji married, she might have come here for the wealth and honor of Cheng Guogong's mansion. The following words showed their generosity and respect for Cheng Ping'an everywhere. Another hole was placed there, and if Miss Ji came in later, if she couldn't get along with them as wives and concubines, it would be all Miss Ji's fault.

How could the twists and turns between these women be peaceful and understand, he just cared about being happy, hugged Aunt Liu and smiled: "Okay, okay, Liu'er is the most sensible, come on, let's kiss each other. "

Aunt Liu smiled and went to hide, but she didn't dodge. Cheng Ping'an kissed her firmly on the face. Aunt Liu smiled and looked at Linglong, and sneered at Linglong. Suddenly, Linglong's face changed color.

There was an undercurrent among these people, and I didn't want the girl Agate in Zhou's house to find it, and when she saw it was safe, she said anxiously: "Young master, hurry up and see your wife, she was beaten, and I just called the doctor."

"Slapped?" Cheng Pingan stood up immediately, and said angrily, "Bastard, who has the guts to disrespect my mother."

"Madam..." Xiaoqing asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

"Go and see quickly." Linglong also put on a caring look: "Madam is important."

A group of people hurried to Zhou's house again.

As soon as Cheng Pingan saw Zhou's face was swollen, her hair was neatly combed, but upon closer inspection, it was missing a lot. The bruises around her eyes and the scratches on her hands showed that Zhou's hair was still there. He was treated inhumanely.

"Mother." Cheng Pingan took a step forward and looked at Zhou with concern: "How are you? What's going on?"

Seeing Cheng Ping'an, Zhou's tears immediately fell, and she held Cheng Ping'an's hand and stopped letting it go: "Son, mother, mother has lost her life, mother is dead..."

While comforting Zhou, Cheng Ping'an looked at Liuli, Zhou's big girl: "Sister Liuli, what's going on?"

Liuli saluted, and told how Mrs. Zhou went to Ji's house, how she proposed marriage to Mrs. Wu, how Mrs. Wu replied, and how she followed what Mrs. Zhou had just called. Finally, she said bitterly: "My wife is always good at talking to you. Yes, I didn't know Mrs. Ji got up like a shrew and scolded the eldest son. The wife was so angry that she couldn't argue a few words, and she slapped her face. Mrs. Ji was used to rough work, and she was so strong, so what could the wife do? Her opponents, not to mention the wife, even when we helped the wife in the past, beat and kicked her almost to death."

For a moment, Liuli started to cry: "Young master must let the wife decide, the wife has lived to such an old age, and she was beaten like this, how can this face be so good, even if we look at the wife, we feel distressed." Tight."

Cheng Ping'an was furious when he heard this, and said in a hateful voice: "It's unreasonable, why are the members of Ji's family so barbaric, it won't work, I have to meet them properly, and find a place for my mother."

He raised his foot and was about to go out, but Zhou didn't want to grab him and burst into tears: "Son, we, let's suffer a loss, that Wu Shi is so powerful, you, you are not hers." Opponent, besides, you are the only mother, and the Ji family has eight sons, how can we compare with eight wolves and tigers."

Mrs. Zhou knew in her heart that when it comes to holy favors, Cheng Ping'an might not be much different from Ji Ji, therefore, it's just a matter of getting involved with the imperial sage, and it's just a matter of mediating with them, and it won't favor the whole family, so If you want to avenge her, you have to fight to the death with the masters of the two families. Only the Wu family is so powerful. How bad is the son she taught? How can Ji's family compare with the eight boys.

"Mother." Cheng Pingan stopped and coaxed Zhou carefully: "Son, don't be afraid, son is good at martial arts, mother just wait, son will go to Ji's house to make trouble, the eight sons of Ji's family, hmph, I'm afraid they will not be my son's opponent .”

After finishing speaking, Cheng Ping'an told Liuli: "Take care of your wife, and persuade her well, don't make her feel angry."

Liuli quickly agreed, and Xiaoqing stood up and said, "Just go, my husband, our sisters are watching over my wife, we always talk to my wife, and don't bother her."

"En." Cheng Ping'an nodded heavily, and walked out.

Cheng Pingan did not go to Ji's house when he came out of Duke Cheng's mansion, but went directly to the Privy Council, and asked where Ji Yi was. The officials of the Privy Council also recognized him, and only when he was looking for Prime Minister Ji to discuss important matters, they would speak up.

Cheng Pingan found Ji Yi with anger, and said as soon as he entered the door: "Ji Xiang should restrain his family well, so as not to make big mistakes."

Ji Yi was reviewing the official document, and when he heard this, he frowned and pushed the official document aside, and looked up at Cheng Pingan: "Young Master Cheng, sit down."

"No need." Cheng Pingan waved his hand: "I came here to tell Ji Xiang something, and please ask Ji Xiang to decide with me."

"Mr. Cheng, please tell me." Ji Yi's stern face showed no emotion at all, he said something straightforward, and then ordered to the waiter: "Pour a cup of tea for Mr. Cheng."

The boy poured tea and brought it over, but Cheng Pingan didn't take it, so the boy had no choice but to put it aside.

Cheng Pingan sneered: "Today Mrs. Ji beat my mother hard, and now my mother is still bedridden. I heard people say that Ji Xiang is the most fair, so I came here and asked Ji Xiang to comment on it." .”

Ji Yi's face was a little moved when he heard this sentence, he got up and took two steps: "My wife has never gone out these days, how did I meet the Duke's wife?"

Cheng Ping'an took it for granted: "It was my mother who went to your mansion to propose a marriage. My wife Feng died of illness. Naturally, I want to marry a bride. Seeing that the young lady in your mansion is beautiful and dignified, I want to marry your mansion..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Yi's face was pulled down: "So, the old man was not at home at that time, if he was at home, the old man would not stop the madam."

Cheng Pingan didn't expect Ji Yi to say such a sentence, and his face turned purple with anger: "You... Ji Xiang is planning to deny it."

"Admit it, why don't you admit it." Ji Yi's eyes flashed, and his face was full of anger: "The young girl and the Jing family are considered to be married, and the marriage is about to happen, but because Mr. Cheng is pestering the young girl, call Jing The family resigned from the marriage, and the little girl hanged herself unbearably, if it wasn't for the proper treatment, she might be gone by now."

When he said a word, Cheng Ping'an was stunned on the spot.

Ji Yi glanced at him and continued: "This is a matter of life and death. How come you don't even have a statement in the Chengguo Mansion. What a big son of the Chengguo Mansion. You have a wife, and your daughter has a husband's family, but you Are you pestering me again and again, are you bullying me that there is no one in the prime minister's house? Now that your wife's new corpse is not cold, your mother came to my house to propose marriage. This is clearly bullying my Ji family again. Once or twice, my old wife can bear it It's so strange, at that time, Mrs. Cheng Guogong went there, so she was beaten naturally, even if someone else went, the beating would be indispensable."
