The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 34

A new house was built on the north side of the Lianhua Bridge. This is a big house with about five entrances. Just looking at the foundations, you can tell that the house is large in scale and exquisite in design.

Cheng Pingan rode a horse and lingered in front of the new house for a while before jumping off the horse and walking in with a blank face.

He didn't go far after he went in, and met Princess Jinyang head-on, Princess Jinyang smiled like a flower, making an already beautiful face even better, she saw Cheng Ping'an's smile became brighter: "Cheng Lang, you are here. "

There was no joy on Cheng Ping'an's face, he just nodded: "I don't know why the princess called me here?"

That's it, Princess Jinyang smiled and walked over to stand side by side with Cheng Ping'an, pointing to the house under construction and said with a smile: "Look at it, I am satisfied, if something is not good, I will ask the craftsman to change it quickly. The princess mansion specially ordered by us for our wedding will be our home in the future, and I thought that not only should I be satisfied, but you also need to feel good about it.”

Princess Jinyang talked happily, dreaming about a better life in the future.

But Cheng Ping'an's face became more and more ugly the more he heard it: "Princess, what does this mean? You mean that I will live here after we get married?"

Princess Jinyang was happy, but didn't notice Cheng Ping'an's face, she nodded: "Yes, it's like this since I came here, Cheng Lang, why don't you follow me to take a good look at it?"

"Forgive me for offending me." Cheng Pingan immediately turned down his face and flicked his sleeves before leaving.

"Cheng Lang, Cheng Lang." Princess Jinyang was completely anxious, and stepped forward to chase: "What's wrong with Cheng Lang? Do you think this house is not good? It's not spacious enough, not gorgeous enough? I can ask someone to change it. I'm looking for Brother Huang. Tell him to allocate some more money to build a magnificent princess mansion."

Cheng Ping'an walked even faster, and Princess Jinyang trotted all the way to catch up: "What happened to Cheng Lang?"

"This is the princess mansion, not my home." Cheng Ping'an stood still abruptly. Princess Jinyang almost fell down for a while, but Cheng Ping'an didn't reach out to help her, but sneered to himself: "Princess will Who do I think I am? I am not an incompetent person waiting to rely on the princess to get riches and glory. If the princess treats me like a bad boy and asks me to leave home and follow the princess' orders, it is a wrong idea."

The smile on Princess Jinyang's face finally disappeared. She was a little timid, lowered her head and whispered: "I, I don't mean that, I respect you in my heart, and I know you are a man..."

"That's the case, why bother to humiliate me?" Cheng Ping'an sneered repeatedly: "I didn't ask for the marriage between me and the princess, and I'm not the kind of person who grabs power and power. I can't live in this princess mansion." Yes, if the princess wants to marry me, she should read the Four Books for Women carefully, understand what three obediences and four virtues are, and learn to be chaste and virtuous. In addition, after getting married, the princess should also live in Cheng Guogong's mansion to help manage the back house and serve the elders. At this point, I’m sorry I can’t obey.”

After saying these words, Cheng Ping'an ignored Princess Jinyang and strode away with his sleeves shaken.

Princess Jinyang stood there for a long time but couldn't regain her senses, she was stunned for a long time before she wiped her face, wiped off the wetness on her face, gritted her teeth, clapped her hands and called out the palace servants who were hiding aside to go back to the palace up.

But he said that Cheng Ping left the Princess Mansion under construction, rode a horse and walked a street, and his anger dissipated a little. He saw the Linglong Pavilion not far away because he remembered that he had asked craftsmen to make some new jewelry a few days ago, and he didn't feel angry. Knowing the sales volume, I wanted to check it out.

As he approached the horse, Cheng Ping'an was about to dismount when he saw a somewhat familiar woman passing by.

The woman obviously recognized his appearance, and when she saw him dismounted, she came over to greet him with a smile: "I have met Mr. Cheng."

"I don't know who this girl is?" Cheng Ping'an had traveled to ancient times for a long time before he realized that in ancient times, "Miss" did not refer to a lady from a big family, but a woman from a brothel. Therefore, he does not know the word "Miss" spit out.

The woman got up and smiled again: "You don't know me, so I have to call you uncle."

"You are..." Cheng Ping'an looked at her carefully for several times before discovering that this woman was very similar to his deceased first wife Feng's eyebrows and eyes: "From the Feng family?"

"Yes." Although the woman is very similar to the Feng family, she only described it as more delicate and lively: "I am Feng Rongrong, the granddaughter of Feng's family head."

At this time, Cheng Pingan saw the jewelry box Feng Rongrong was holding and asked, "Are you here to buy jewelry?"

Feng Rongrong was a little shy, and said in a low voice: "Exactly, I only have limited monthly money, and I have saved some money for a long time. I thought I could buy one or two pieces of similar jewelry, but I didn't think about Linglong Pavilion. The accessories are so expensive, and those good ones have already been ordered, and I am on which famous brand, so I can only pick up one or two pieces that others don't like."

Hearing what she said, Cheng Ping'an looked at Feng Rongrong and saw that although she was tall and beautiful, the clothes she was wearing were a bit old and the materials were out of fashion in Jinling, so he knew that she must be in a bad situation.

At this time, Cheng Ping'an thought of Feng Shi, and because she thought that this was Feng's natal niece, she could be regarded as his niece anyway, so he smiled and said: "Coincidentally, this Linglong Pavilion is my property, even if you like it here Jewelry, I will tell the shopkeeper, if there is anything good in it, as long as no one has ordered it, you can choose it."

While speaking, Cheng Ping'an was about to bring Feng Rongrong in. Feng Rongrong was taken aback, and quickly declined: "This is not going to work, this is not going to work, what am I doing, as if I am taking advantage of this..."

"What's the matter." Cheng Ping'an said with a smile: "You are my niece no matter what, so call me uncle, and it's a gift from my uncle to you."

In this way, Feng Rongrong did not refuse to follow Cheng Ping'an into the Linglong Pavilion, and saw that he summoned the shopkeeper to ask about the profit of the past few months, and asked the shopkeeper to bring Feng Rongrong the most fashionable jewelry.

But for a while, a woman wearing a well-fitting small gauze jacket with four doors and a white embroidered skirt came in with a tray, put the tray away, smiled at Cheng Pingan, and said to Feng Rongrong: " These are some of the latest hair accessories from our Linglong Pavilion, please pick them up, girl."

After finishing speaking, he went out after a blessing.

Feng Rongrong saw that the woman looked very beautiful in this outfit, and her figure was even more excellent, she felt a little envious.

She would rather be more fashionable, but Feng's family has strict upbringing, such as catching up with skirts, the grandmother of the family only said that they were worn by prostitutes, and they were not called wearing them at all, but the most common eight-piece skirt.

Sighing, Feng Rongrong sat down to choose jewelry, and said to Cheng Pingan while choosing, "Since I was sensible, I have heard people often mention my uncle, and always say that my uncle is a rare and great man in this world. I am a boudoir girl, I can't show my face, and I can't meet my uncle so that I can see what my uncle is like, Yingwei, I only know today that I have lived up to my reputation, my uncle is really... really wonderful."

After she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, she lowered her head and took a phoenix-tailed hairpin and said in a low voice: "Uncle's poem about the hairpin-headed phoenix is ​​very good. Write such a word, this, this hairpin, I have the cheek to take it."

Cheng Ping'an felt his heart warming seeing her as a delicate daughter, and hearing her praise like that, there was a lot of admiration and dependence in her speech, and in addition, a beautiful and affectionate daughter like her was not favored in Feng's family, so I was afraid Those who were degraded, felt pity in their hearts: "Just take it, you called my uncle, and I will cover you from now on. If you want anything, just come to Linglong Pavilion to get it. Here Except for the jewelry and the rouge and gouache that my daughter often uses at home, there are many exquisite objects, such as those exquisite glass products, all of which are my own property, and they are not worth anything. Don't care."

Feng Rongrong quickly stood up and thanked her: "Then I will thank my uncle."

She sat down again, her eyes were a little red: "Uncle is such a good person, pity my aunt is the most unlucky person, she left so early and didn't even leave a queen for uncle, I...a few years ago What I envy the most is my aunt. I can marry someone like my uncle. Unfortunately, I can’t be the master at home. Now that I’m older, I don’t know what kind of family my aunt will choose to marry me. No matter how rich and noble the family is, as long as the person is not stupid, I am afraid that my mother-in-law will not like me, if I choose a fool for me, or beat and scold the women at home, I might as well go clean."

Having said that, she was dazed in a daze, and she stopped choosing jewelry, instead, many tears rolled down her eyes.

Cheng Ping'an saw it and felt his heart crumpled into a ball. The inside was sore and uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but shook Feng Rongrong's hand and persuaded him: "Don't be afraid, uncle will decide with you in the future. If your aunt treats you If it’s not good, you can ask someone to send a message to me, and I’ll reason with her, and you won’t be ruined.”

"Uncle..."

Feng Rongrong seemed to have found support, and cried out, leaning on Cheng Ping'an's body and weeping bitterly: "You are the first one who treats me so well, others look down on my background and always say that I was raised by a little wife, and I am at home. It's also the most unappreciated one, no one will think about me if there is any good thing, say that I am petty, but if anyone gets into trouble, just push it on me..."

The more Feng Rongrong cried, the more painful she became, until finally she couldn't cry.

She cried pear blossoms with rain, and Cheng Ping'an felt even more painful in his heart. He hugged Feng Rongrong tightly and comforted Feng Rongrong in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, uncle will love you in the future."

"I just hate that I can't be born in a family like my uncle." Feng Rongrong sobbed softly: "It would be great if my uncle and I were a family, and I will never be afraid of anything."

She cried for a long time, but felt a little embarrassed after crying, wiped her tears and said to Cheng Pingan, "I... made you laugh."

After speaking, he casually took a jade bracelet and put it on, then got up and said goodbye: "It's getting late, I'll go now."

When Feng Rongrong came to the door, she turned her head and smiled at Cheng Ping'an: "Uncle, I would be willing to cry like you and die like this in my life. I'm afraid I won't see you again after I go back. You must take care of yourself. I... I'll go now."

She stumbled out, but Cheng Ping'an was stunned. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Feng Rongrong's words had some meaning, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.

After waiting for a while, Cheng Ping went out, called the treasurer of Linglong Pavilion and asked, "Then the young lady of the Feng family often comes here?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and asked a woman who sold jewelry, and the woman recalled it for a long time before she said to Cheng Pingan: "Returning to you, I remember this little lady, she likes Linglong Pavilion's jewelry the most. , but the family background should not be very good, and I don’t have much money on hand, so I come here often, but once in ten times, buying such a piece of defective jewelry is already very good. A few days ago, she came to pick out jewelry. The girl said that it seems that her aunt is discussing marriage with her, as if the other party is not very nice, she is not very willing, but she can't persuade the parents at home."
