Jiao Luan

Chapter 57
Cheng Wei stared at Cheng Jiubo in a daze, and the turmoil in his heart went without saying.

All along, she had seen nightmare-like scenes, but when she saw Cheng Jiubo's family today, she was shocked to find out that it wasn't all like this!

She grew up in an honorable family, no matter how poor Huairenbo's mansion is, with her class here, she still understands some common sense.For example, Cheng Ming, the eldest son of Huairenbo, the eldest cousin, was not outstanding in reading, but when he became an adult, he still found a small job in the yamen.

However, this doesn't mean that Cheng Jiubo can do it too!Let alone Huairenbo's mansion, it's the grandparent's house. If the descendants of the direct line can't take care of them, it's impossible for them to go to the side branches. What's more, Cheng Jiubo is in his early forties. Age, isn't it almost fifty?

The spring was cold, the wind gently rolled up the skirt of the girl, revealing the red deerskin boots, Cheng Wei stomped her feet lightly, feeling chills all over her body.

"Second brother, I'm cold." She hid behind Cheng Che and whispered.

It is about the mystery of the life and death of the closest person, and the little girl can intuitively be sure that Cheng Jiubo's bright future must be related to the death of the second brother, but she can't figure out the connection at present even if she wants to break her head.

"Uncle Jiu, Aunt Tang, it's very windy here, why don't we stand here, why not sit in the flower hall?" Cheng Che asked politely.

"No——" Cheng Jiubo had only said a few words before the woman slapped him on the back, and his voice fell silent immediately.

The woman smiled all over her face: "Okay, Che'er, maybe Auntie hasn't had a good talk with you for a long time, and she has always missed you in her heart."

The corner of Cheng Che's mouth twitched, and he lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Uncle Jiu, Aunt Tang, please come this way."

A group of people walked towards the flower hall, Cheng Wei silently followed behind without speaking.

She has never liked Cheng Jiubo's family very much. Cheng Jiubo is okay, all they meet is just a few words, but Aunt Jiutang is different. Every time she sees her, a pair of sharp eyes look from the tip of her hair to her heels, lest she miss a little bit. I know, I thought she took something from his house and hung it on her body.

All in all, it was a very uncomfortable feeling.

But this time, Cheng Wei said nothing about Aunt Jiutang's behavior of beating snakes and sticking them with sticks, and just followed silently, so that Cheng Che felt strange, and couldn't help but look back to observe his sister's expression.

Later, Cheng Ying couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Cousin Thirteen, why do you always look at Sister Wei, she has flowers on her face?"

Cheng Che paused and said with a smile, "Third Sister got her leg injured a few days ago, I'm afraid she won't be able to walk for a long time."

Cheng Ying cast a sideways glance at Cheng Wei, and said sourly, "Cousin Wei, Cousin Thirteen really cares about you, unlike my two older brothers, when I'm not feeling well, they don't care like Cousin Thirteen does." .”

Cheng Wei had just listened to Cheng Che's words by the banana tree, and she had long since given up on it. Seeing Cheng Ying being provocative again, she simply stepped forward and took Cheng Che's hand, and said with a smile, "Of course, how can others Compared with my second brother, my second brother is the best brother in the world!"

As she spoke, she looked at Cheng Ying with a triumphant counterattack in her eyes.

If you have the ability, say this is your brother. If you dare to say that in front of your parents, I don't believe you dare to say it now!
This is what Cheng Wei hates most about Cheng Ying. Every time they meet and talk, they seem to be soaked in vinegar, as if the second brother was snatched by her family. If this is the case, why did the second brother adopt him?

If you don't do it, you don't have to regret it. This appearance is plainly contemptuous. It's a good deal. She has heard it before. Cheng Ying's two brothers even quarreled with their parents about it. Just to blame why it was the second brother who sent it in the first place, not them!
Not long after entering the flower hall, the charcoal pots placed in the corner were burning vigorously, and the hall was as warm as spring. Because it was Chinese New Year, I specially bought cyclamen from outside and put them on the table, and another pot of narcissus was placed on the window sill. It looks festive and lively.

Cheng Wei glanced at it, and knew that the daffodil must have been sent by Cheng Yao to honor her grandmother, so she couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, hiding her mocking smile.

"Tsk tsk, after all, it's the mansion. The brazier is so hot that you can't even wear your jacket when you come in." The woman didn't dare to look at the old lady's place before, but when she arrived here, she began to scrutinize her brazenly, "Look at this fairy. The visitors are so busy, it is festive just looking at it. This pot of narcissus is similar to the old lady's. They are all raised in azure porcelain jars. It is fresh and pleasant. According to the old lady, it was raised by the second girl herself? "

No one answered, so she continued on her own: "The second girl is really ingenious, no wonder people say she is the first girl in Beijing!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Cheng Wei and smiled quickly: "Why don't you say that the second lady is blessed, the eldest sister entered the palace and became a noble concubine, the second sister raised Lan Xinhui's quality, sister Wei is not bad, auntie Looking at you like this, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the most beautiful woman in the capital. This is really a great blessing, your sons and daughters are so lucky, and Che'er—"

"Ahem." Cheng Jiubo suddenly coughed.

Only then did the woman shut up, and took a few sips from her teacup. Her throat, which had been dry and sore from talking too much, immediately felt much more comfortable.

Sitting there, Cheng Wei never took her eyes off Cheng Jiubo and his wife. Amidst the headache-inducing noise, she couldn't help thinking, why didn't Aunt Jiutang talk about so much nonsense, why didn't she ask how her second brother was doing?

The little girl withdrew her gaze and looked at Cheng Che. Looking at his thin profile, she suddenly felt distressed.

The second brother has been away for so long, and he will not be idle after returning. The only ones who really care about him are his mother and her. There is no second brother in the eyes of these biological parents, and there are only those things that the second brother owns. .

The more Cheng Wei thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt for her second brother.

The woman turned her attention to Cheng Che: "Che'er, after this year, you will be in your twenties, and it won't be long before you have the coronation ceremony."

Cheng Che nodded.

"When the time comes, please invite me and your cousin to come."

"Cousin don't worry, it's natural."

The woman showed a satisfied smile, and looked at Cheng Che: "Che'er has really grown up, so it's time to say kiss."

Cheng Che didn't expect the woman to mention this in front of Cheng Wei and Cheng Ying. Although his face was calm, his ears turned red, and he said with a smile, "Nephew hasn't thought about it yet."

"Hey, what if you don't think about it?" The woman raised her voice when she said this, "There are twenty people, and if you switch to Zhuangzi, the children can run around all over the place. If you don't think about it, it will be too late. It will be good at that time." The girls are being picked away by others, so you should be anxious."

"Nephew is really not in a hurry. The elder brother above has already married, and the younger brothers below are still young. It doesn't matter if we talk about getting married for a few years at night."

Fifteen is the age for women, and twenty is the crown for men. Some children of rich and noble families study martial arts and want to make a name for themselves, but they don't want to marry too early, so brothers and sisters of the same generation are married separately.

For example, if Cheng Che doesn't get married, the brothers below him can't discuss marriage, but it doesn't affect the younger sisters.

The woman smiled: "You child, you are too embarrassed to say it in front of me. I was talking with the old lady just now, and I heard the old lady mention it. I plan to find a suitable girl for you after this year's spring. Now it’s not like before, even though it’s the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, you still have to ask if you young people mean it, for example, do you like the more dignified or the more lively? If two people look at each other well, life will be easier in the future.”

She talked a lot without stopping for a moment, Cheng Wei really didn't understand, what was she so excited about when talking about the second brother's marriage, could it be that the second brother married his sister-in-law and still called her mother?
Cheng Wei watched with a sullen face, but unexpectedly the woman didn't even let her go: "Sister Wei, what kind of sister-in-law do you want?"

　There is another update today, the time is uncertain.Being dumped by the number one on the new book list, she continued to ask for votes.
