Jiao Luan

Chapter 141 So far away
This day coincided with the second master Cheng Xiumu, who told Mrs. Han not to go out early in the morning, and a friend of the same year came to visit.

When Cheng Wei came to Yiran Garden to say hello, Mrs. Han told her: "Don't go to Jishengtang today, your father said, and Tongnian will come to the house with his family later, so you can all meet."

Cheng Wei didn't even bother to see the second master Cheng as his father, let alone his same age, so he said: "Mother, the third uncle recorded the family's talisman collection for me a few days ago. It's gone, anyway, it doesn't matter if I'm here or not."

"Then what's the matter? Your father said that Tongnian will bring his daughter here. It would be rude if only Yao'er and Tong'er greeted him."

This same year, the second master Cheng and Mrs. Han mentioned not long ago, wanted Cheng Che to marry his daughter.

Mrs. Han was originally unwilling, but Second Master Cheng said that he and that same-year-old had been good friends for many years. They came to Beijing from afar, and the two families should have met each other. It doesn't matter.

After thinking about it, Han made sense, so she agreed.

"Then mother just said that I'm sick, and it's fine if I can't come out to meet guests." Cheng Wei was still not interested.

She now learns to examine in the morning, learns horseback riding and archery in the afternoon, and spends the evening and the afternoon break once every three days learning how to make talismans with Ah Hui.

The corner of Han's mouth moved.

She wanted to keep Cheng Wei, not just listen to Master Cheng's orders.

From the bottom of her heart, she wanted Cheng Wei to be with her and see how the girl was doing.

The Han family does not have the confidence to choose a good marriage for their children.

These years, she has actually been somewhat self-denying, but she is unwilling to admit it, and hopes that one day, all her efforts will be rewarded.

"You silly girl, today your father brought his family over here in the same year, it's not just a simple meeting."

Cheng Wei raised his eyebrows.

Han lowered her voice: "His family has an only daughter, and Yunying is still unmarried. Your father's intention is to ask me to take a look. If it is possible, after your second brother is crowned, we will settle the marriage for them."

"What!" Cheng Wei was stunned for a while, and it took a while to recover, and grabbed Han's sleeve, "Mother, tell me, you said you are betrothed to the second brother?"

Unexpectedly, Cheng Wei had such a big reaction, so she glanced at her and said, "Your second elder brother is already 20 years old, and he is placed in an ordinary family. If he hadn't been studying, he might be several years old. His marriage should be paid close attention."

"However, my second brother told me that he doesn't want to get married too early."

Han Shi was quite surprised: "Che'er will tell you this?"

Cheng Wei didn't notice any difference, and nodded: "Yes, I mentioned it accidentally that time, didn't the second brother tell you?"

"I did."

"That's it. Mother, since the second brother doesn't want to get married too early, why do you force him, anyway, it won't be too late in five years." In Cheng Wei's mind, being forced to marry is the most annoying thing.

Han gave Cheng Wei a blank look: "Five years later? Do the math, how old will your second brother be in five years? You must be pestering your second brother to ask these things, he's embarrassed, so he just perfunctory you like this."

"Second brother can't." Cheng Wei didn't want to hear what Han said.

For things that he didn't want to say, the second brother would not tell her, but he would never perfunctory her.

"Silly girl, the world is peaceful now, and the elders in the family are in good health. Then tell me, why is your second brother unwilling to get married?"

Cheng Wei was in a daze, speechless when asked by Han.

Han continued: "If you want to say that you are afraid of affecting your studies, in fact, at your second brother's age, there are very few people who pass the exam. After this spring, no matter the result, the marriage can no longer be delayed. When the guests come, he The girl is mainly entertained by you, just to see how the girl's character is, understand?"

"understood."

Seeing Cheng Wei's calm expression, Mrs. Han warned, "Wei'er, since you were young, everyone has noticed how well your second brother has treated you. Don't be self-willed like a child. Now, it's time for you It's time to help your second brother."

"Oh, I see. I will take a closer look at that girl later and choose a good wife for my second brother."

Cheng Wei left Yiran Garden and went straight to Evergreen Garden.

The bamboo forest is quiet, only the rustling sound of bamboo branches swaying when the wind blows by, and occasionally a bird flies by, and three or two bamboo leaves flutter down and land on Cheng Wei's shoulder.

Cheng Wei stepped on the blue and yellow path, passed through the bamboo forest, and arrived at Evergreen Garden.

Through the window, she saw her brother.

Cheng Che was still sitting by the desk in front of the window, seemingly tired, closing his eyes to rest his mind.

When he closed his eyes quietly, his thick black eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if he had infinite thoughts.

Standing there, Cheng Wei suddenly blamed himself.

My mother was right, from childhood to adulthood, the second brother did too much for her, but she did too little for the second brother.

The second brother will also be tired and lonely, maybe after having a sister-in-law, it will be better.

Cheng Wei stood outside the window and kept watching, seeing that Cheng Che hadn't opened his eyes for a long time, lest his father's Tongnian would come over soon, and he would not have time to talk to his elder brother, so he broke a bamboo branch, walked over on tiptoe, leaned through the window, and put the The bamboo branch moved under Cheng Che's nose.

Cheng Che quickly opened his eyes, bumped into a smiling face, pushed the bamboo branch helplessly, and said angrily, "Wei Wei, you are getting more and more mischievous."

Cheng smiled and threw the bamboo branch away, then walked into the house and came to Cheng Che's side: "Second brother, so you are hiding in Evergreen Garden, not studying, but sleeping."

"That's not called sleeping, that's called resting the mind. When you have energy, you will be full of energy, do you understand?"

Cheng Wei pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't understand, all I know is that I was sleepy early in the morning, it must be because I didn't sleep well last night. Second brother, didn't you read some scripts last night?"

"How come, is your second brother that kind of person?"

Seeing that his brother's starry eyes were full of energy, and he didn't look tired like before, Cheng Wei felt relieved and stopped making fun of him.

"Wei Wei, why don't you go to Jishengtang today?"

Cheng Wei sat down next to Cheng Che, and said, "Father is coming over in the same year today, doesn't Second Brother know?"

Cheng Che was stunned: "Father sent a letter, saying that I will go to accompany the guests when the time comes. Why, does Third Sister want to stay?"

"Mother specifically told me to stay." Cheng Wei took out a pack of pine nuts from his sleeve and handed it to Cheng Che, "She said she wanted me to treat his girl well."

Seeing Cheng Che's silence, Cheng Wei blinked: "Second brother, I'll tell you a secret, don't tell it."

"You said."

Cheng Wei got closer, and lowered her voice: "Mother said, let me take a closer look at how the girl is. If she is a good one, maybe she will become my second sister-in-law."

Seeing Cheng Che's strange expression and delay in saying anything, Cheng Wei stretched out his hand to hold him: "Second brother?"
