Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Cheng Yujin is not as emotional as Ruan's, but her voice is deliberately suppressed, and it is even more worrying to hear: "What does the second aunt want from me? Yes, what do you want from me, Second Aunt?"

Nguyen Shi covered her mouth with a handkerchief, crying out of breath. Cheng Yujin knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her cheeks, although she didn't make a sound, it was more distressing than Ruan's hoarseness. Mrs. Cheng felt suffocated by this big and small crying. She couldn't take it anymore. She patted the table hard and said, "It's all right, don't cry."

Ruan's voice became weaker, but Cheng Yujin was still kneeling firmly on the ground, pressing her eyes with a handkerchief from time to time, her output was stable, and her stamina was long. Mrs. Cheng sighed deeply and said, "Marriage is a big happy event, why do you have to exchange one for the other? The second girl can't delay it. It's better to go out early. After the period of filial piety is over, let’s talk about picking a son-in-law.”

Just wanting to dismiss her with empty words, Cheng Yujin doesn't want to do this. Mrs. Cheng is speaking nicely now, but a year later, who knows whether she recognizes it or not. With tears in her eyes, Cheng Yujin asked, "Grandmother, it's a fact that I was divorced, and it's a fact that my second sister married before me. Even if the family had plans for me, the situation changed a year later, and people outside didn't know how to pass on me. Under these conditions, how can my family tell me about my family? Instead of embarrassing my elders, I might as well cut myself off now, come quietly, and leave quietly, so as not to be criticized by others.”

"Honest talk!" Mrs. Cheng reprimanded with a sullen face, "It's not easy for the family to raise you so much because of your parents. It's not easy for the family to discuss such a big matter. There is always a way to solve it.

Ruan Shi was frightened by Madam Cheng's aura, bowed her head and said, "Yes, my mother taught me the right thing."

After Mrs. Cheng finished the training, she calmed down and said, "Your grandfather left in a hurry. Before he died, he specially prepared dowry for the two of you. I think he also looks forward to seeing you married and have children. It's a pity that he After all, I didn't wait for this step. In my opinion, it's better to give your grandfather the last thought. Before he left, all his family members were beside the sickbed, and outsiders didn't know what to say. He watched the daughter grow up, and in his heart, he was no different from the eldest grandson, so he stayed at home to observe filial piety, while the younger granddaughter was spoiled, so he asked her to get married quickly and give birth to a great-grandson as soon as possible to announce the good news to the old man."

Ruan's cries had long since stopped. Cheng Yujin was quite satisfied with this statement. She turned her drooping eyes slightly and asked, "But, do outsiders believe this statement?"

"Wait for your grandfather's day, I will tell the guests in person. Your grandfather's last words are reasonable to me. They don't believe others, so they don't believe me. I have lived such a long age, and I always have this face. ."

Cheng Yujin got the letter and was finally satisfied. She stopped pressing the handkerchief to her eyes, and her tears gradually stopped. The only thing that can overcome the ritual system of men and women is the more powerful hierarchical suppression, such as filial piety, such as monarch and minister. Cheng Yujin's marriage by her sister will definitely be said by outsiders, and Cheng Yujin has not been low-key these years. Many people have been suppressed by her, and they don't know how much resentment they hold in their hearts. At that time, the situation will be out of control, and there may be a lot of unpleasant words that will come out. Maybe some black-hearted people will spread the word, saying that she has a hidden illness and will be divorced by Jingyong Houfu. However, the Houfu of Yichūn knew the inside story and gave up the plan to marry Cheng Yujin, so he directly married the younger sister below.

At that time, Cheng Yujin is the only one who can't argue, and it will be difficult to make a comeback. After all, if you have a hidden illness, how can you prove it to others? And if it wasn't for a hidden illness, why would it be given up by the family by default?

But if it is replaced by obedience to filial piety, it is completely different. When the word filial piety is pressed down, weddings, funerals, marriages, and marriage ethics all have to fall back, and Cheng Yujin is still named by the old marquis Cheng to keep filial piety. Raised under the knee, as the eldest grandson, this honor is no trivial matter. After a daughter-in-law has kept filial piety to her parents-in-law, she will go out three times. Even if she violates the rule of seven out, her husband cannot easily give up. This shows how important it is to keep filial piety. And the eldest granddaughter observes filial piety according to the eldest grandson's ritual system, which is a great honor.

Since ancient times, female relatives have not entered the ancestral hall. For thousands of years, sacrifices and other things have been dominated by men, and there are very few places for women. But Cheng Yujin can be one of them, or the eldest grandson. The eldest grandson is the heir, and his status in the family inheritance is higher than that of the second son. Cheng Yujin's honor is simply unique, even less than Cheng Min's daughter. When the filial piety is over, just for this credit, Cheng Yujin will be able to suppress a vote of people speechless by just throwing it out. At that time, she can add another important bargaining chip in the marriage market.

Cheng Yujin was very satisfied, even much better than she had expected, and Mrs. Cheng personally came forward and said that this is even better. With half the effort, Cheng Yujin is extremely satisfied with today's harvest.

Cheng Yujin stopped crying, and Du Ruo saw the opportunity and stepped forward and said, "Girl, it's cold on the ground, please get up and talk, don't let down the kindness of the old lady."

The other maids woke up from a dream and hurried forward to help Cheng Yujin get up. Cheng Yujin half pushed and stood up on the ground. Madam Cheng couldn't bear to see that Cheng Yujin's face was all white, and she said, "Bring an embroidered pier for the eldest girl, and then bring a cup of hot tea. The girl's house can't be cold, so she knelt on the ground. For so long, be careful of getting cold."
