September 17th is the day when the Cheng family raises the beams of their old house.
All the people in the village were invited to witness and they were treated to lunch.
Then Cheng Kang's family moved to the old house, along with the servants that Cheng Kang had bought a long time ago.
There are not many servants in this group, only nine, and each has his own responsibilities.
After staying in the old house for two days, Cheng Kang planned to take his family back to Beijing on September 20th and come back to worship his ancestors during the Chinese New Year.
If the emperor had not had important matters for him to attend to, he would have persuaded all his brothers and their families in Xinghua Village to go to the capital with him this year.
On September 19th, Cheng Kang gathered everyone together for a meal before leaving.
Cheng Yue and Shanshui were the last ones to arrive. As soon as they arrived, the couple found something wrong in the house.
"Ayue, Shanshui, you're here, come in and sit down! Dad is talking to Minzhu in the study!"
Gao invited the two of them into the house.
Shanshui raised his eyebrows, somewhat guessing what was going on.
He thought of what Ji Mingxuan had said before, that he would find time to explain things to Cheng Kang, and it was probably about this matter.
When they arrived in the hall, Cheng Yue sat down next to Gu Xuelan, asked in a low voice, and got the result.
The whole family was chatting happily together when Cheng Minzhu suddenly said that she had something to say to Cheng Kang. Cheng Kang asked her to say it right there, as they were all family and there was nothing to hide.
Cheng Kang dislikes Cheng Minzhu a little, because Cheng Minzhu was taught by Gu, and Cheng Minzhu looks very much like Gu. When he sees Cheng Minzhu, Cheng Kang always thinks of how the Gu family deceived him and it took him so many years to recognize Cheng Shun.
Cheng Minzhu was also very brave. She said directly that she didn't want to marry Ji Mingxuan. If Cheng Kangfei forced her, she would cut her hair and live a secluded life.
Cheng Kang was so angry. He had a similar temper to Cheng Shun. You can imagine what Cheng Shun would do if Cheng Yue said something like that.
However, Cheng Kang had not yet learned how to hit people, so he took Cheng Minzhu directly to the study and then asked someone to invite Ji Mingxuan over.
Originally, he had invited Ji Mingxuan today, but Ji Mingxuan said that the government office had important official business to deal with and he would see him off in person tomorrow. Now, Cheng Kang didn't care about any important official business and directly asked someone to invite him and insisted he come.
"How could Minzhu be like this? Brother Mingxuan has been waiting for her for three years. Brother Mingxuan is so good, why doesn't Minzhu want to marry him?"
Xue Hanyu whispered in Cheng Yue's ear, looking worried.
"We don't understand other people's affairs."
Cheng Yue said.
"Perhaps Master Ji is like this too?"
Shanshui suddenly said something.
The three of them sat in the corner, with only Cheng Jinyan and Cheng Jinxing sitting next to them. Gu Xuelan had gone to chat with Gao, so they were not afraid of being overheard.
"What do you mean? Shanshui, do you know something?"
Cheng Yue was stunned, then looked towards Shanshui Road.
"Brother Mo, Brother Mingxuan has been waiting for Minzhu for a long time. During all these years of mourning for Minzhu, Brother Mingxuan has never interacted with other girls."
Xue Hanyu quietly defended Ji Mingxuan.
Cheng Jinxing held his face with his hands and glanced at Xue Hanyu. Somehow, he felt uncomfortable.
"When Master Ji comes, you'll know what's going on. I think their marriage will never be successful."
Mountains and rivers.
"Why? Why can't it be done?"
Cheng Jinxing frowned, he inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.
