Greetings, Ninth Uncle

"It's just a normal selection." Cheng Yuanjing replied casually. He never had the habit of explaining to others, but when he saw Cheng Yujin's eyes, he added in a ghostly way: "It's not a big deal in the Tuntian Division and the Ministry of Engineering."

Cheng Yujin was skeptical. The most important thing for an official is stability. How can anyone transfer the six divisions and twenty-four divisions together? Cheng Yuanjing had to be transferred out after only two months in Yu Hengsi. Judging from this situation, it seemed that he had to go through all six rounds.

Cheng Yujin didn't know what was going on. She was afraid that there was something hidden in it. If she accidentally stepped on it, wouldn't it be embarrassing for both parties. Cheng Yujin quickly changed the subject, and asked briskly, "It's the Dragon Boat Festival soon, does Ninth Uncle have any arrangements?"

"Dragon Boat Festival." Cheng Yuanjing smiled, and his expression became indifferent for some reason, "What's wrong with the Evil Midday Festival?"

"How can you say that?" Cheng Yujin was unhappy, "Dragon Boat Festival is the day to ward off evil spirits and toxins. On this day, evil spirits will be warded off, and you will be able to ensure good health for the whole year."

"To ward off evil spirits and eliminate poisons..." Cheng Yuanjing smiled lightly, "I was born on this day, and I am already five or five evils. There is no evil that can be exorcised, and no poison can be eliminated."

Cheng Yujin choked all of a sudden, May was considered bad luck, and it was also called the evil month. Many elderly people believe that children born in May will not be well-raised and will bring bad luck to the family. Cheng Yuanjing was born on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, isn't it...

Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, when every family makes great fanfare to eliminate the five poisons and sweep away the disease and filth, how uncomfortable he must be.

Cheng Yujin was silent, unable to speak for a long time. Cheng Yuanjing didn't seem to care about this. Everyone said that he would not live long. For this matter, the Queen Mother specially invited a high-ranking monk to come to the palace to cast spells to exorcise evil spirits. Too bad he didn't live to adulthood yet.

He didn't die from dystocia at birth, he didn't die from typhoid fever when he was two years old, and he still didn't die from "natural disasters" when he was five years old.

Cheng Yuanjing was thinking about it when someone suddenly grabbed his hand. Cheng Yuanjing lowered his head and saw Cheng Yujin took out a five-color silk thread and wrapped it around his wrist: "In May, mosquitoes are revived, diseases are rampant, children are weak and most likely to die from illness, so the old people say that May is unlucky. It's the same month, there is no good luck or bad luck. If you wrap a long life rope around your hand, you won't be able to hook it away."

Cheng Yuanjing didn't expect that someone would dare to tie something to him. After he reacted, he subconsciously wanted to pull his hand, but Cheng Yujin held it again: "Don't move. The longevity request must be tied firmly, or if it falls, the Subaru Star Officer will not be able to tell the difference. Cleaned up."

After the tie was finished, Cheng Yujin smiled and showed it to Cheng Yuanjing: "The more unexpected life is, the more unyielding it is. You see, once the longevity cable is fastened, the ninth uncle can live to a hundred years of longevity."

The more unexpected life, the more persevering.

Cheng Yuanjing looked at Cheng Yujin's smiling face, and was suddenly hit by something in his heart. They are all unexpected lives, looking at the radiance, in fact, no one cares about their life and death. When he saw Cheng Yujin, he seemed to see his fourteen-year-old self through time.

From the crown prince, to the outer chamber child who can't see the light. From the prince of a country, to having to get out of the imperial examination.

Cheng Yuanjing's brows and eyes slowly opened with a smile: "Okay, let me borrow your auspicious words."

With your auspicious words, he will return to the East Palace and take back what belongs to him. He will live a long life and witness the collapse of the Yang family and the arrival of the Qingming era.

The Qianqiu Festival is getting closer and closer, and the capital is obviously restless, and there are people looking for a way everywhere. The Ministry of Rites carefully tested a sentence. The emperor was still indifferent to Guoshou, saying that he should not waste the people and waste money, just treat it as an ordinary day, and it is enough to have a family banquet in the palace.

The emperor said that big things were not allowed, and the people below did not dare to disobey, and they did not dare to be overtaken by others at such a time, so they put all their energy into congratulating the gift. The Cheng family's gift list has been handed to the palace, and the men are uneasy, but the change in the outer courtyard will not shake the female relatives.

The female relatives are concerned about other things.

"Miss, the big thing is bad!" Mrs. Zheng ran over panting, not knowing whether she was tired or angry, but she couldn't even say a word, "Huo's family...the Huo's family has come to propose to the second lady!"

Chapter 22 Engagement

This news is tantamount to a thunderbolt. Marriage is not child's play, and engagement is a good thing to have two surnames. If not, then the relationship between the two families will fade away. For someone like Jingyong Hou's mansion who has made a marriage proposal and then retired, it is no different from enmity. It is a good thing that the two families didn't turn against each other. Huo Chang Yuan actually came to propose marriage?

And the object of the marriage proposal turned out to be Cheng Yujin's younger sister, the second young lady Cheng Yumo.

This is simply shameful. When the maids of Forsythia heard it, they trembled with anger: "This... ungrateful scum! Could it be that he doesn't know that the girl and the second lady are sisters? After the elder sister went to book the younger sister, our girl still adopted it to the big room, isn't this sincere shy girl from the Huo family?"

Du Ruo was calm and careful, and spoke more cautiously, but when she heard Mrs. Zheng recounting the situation of Shou'an Tang, she was also very angry: "The Huo family is too deceiving! They broke off the marriage for no reason and ruined the girl's efforts for many years, and now she is embarrassed to come to the door. , proposed to the second lady in a grand manner. Why didn't the concierge beat them out!"

Cheng Yujin was very calm, and even smiled softly: "It's profitable, why does my grandmother want to disgrace the Huo family? After Huo Changyuan and I broke off our marriage, my grandmother always regretted missing a helping hand, and now the Huo family has come to propose marriage again. It's too late for grandma's surprise, how could she be willing to drive the Huo family out."
