Chapter 140: The End of the World
This day happened to be the second master Cheng resting. He told Han not to go out early in the morning, and a friend of the same year came to visit him.
When Cheng Wei came to Yiranyuan to pay tribute, Han reminded her: Don’t go to Jishengtang today. Your father said that you will come to the mansion with your family later in the same year and let you all meet.
Cheng Wei was too lazy to see Master Cheng Er as a father, let alone his in the same year. So he said: Mother, some time ago, Uncle San recorded the collection of talismans and Dharmas from his family. I was learning it at a critical moment, but it was still gone. It doesn’t matter whether I am here or not.
How could that work? Your father said that the man would come with his daughter in the same year. If only Yao'er and Tong'er greet him, it would be rude.
This person in the same year was mentioned by Mr. Cheng Er and Han not long ago, and wanted Cheng Che to make a marriage with his daughter.
Han was originally unwilling to do so, and Master Cheng Er said that he was a friend of the same year as the one who was a long time ago. They came to Beijing from afar, and the two families should have met each other. As for whether she could see the girl, it would be okay to talk about it after seeing her.
Han thought it made sense, so he agreed.
Then my mother said that I was sick and could not come out to meet the guests. Cheng Wei was still indifferent.
She now learns to treat her in the morning, learns to ride horses and archery in the afternoon, and spends the afternoon breaks every three days with Ahui to learn to make talismans. She wishes she could use one hour as two hours, so how could she be patient with her father’s daughter of the same year?
Han's mouth moved.
She wanted to keep Cheng Wei, not just following the instructions of Master Cheng Er.
From the bottom of her heart, she wanted Cheng Wei to accompany her and see how the girl was.
Han did not have enough confidence in choosing a good marriage for his children.
Over the years, she has actually been a little self-denying. She just doesn't want to admit it, and she hopes that one day all her efforts will be rewarded.
You silly girl, your father came here with his family in the same year, not just meeting him.
Cheng Wei raised his eyebrows.
Han lowered his voice: His only daughter is 18 years old, and Yunying has not yet married. Your father meant that I wanted to see her. If possible, after your second brother gets the crown, he will settle the marriage for them.
Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment. It took a while to recover and grabbed Han's sleeve. Mother, you said. You said you were engaged to your second brother.
Han did not expect Cheng Wei to react so much. He glanced at her and said: Your second brother is twenty years old. If he were not studying, he would probably be several years old. He should hurry up his marriage.
However, my second brother told me that he didn't want to get married too early.
Han was quite surprised: Che'er will tell you this
Cheng Wei didn't realize something was strange. Nodded: Yes, I mentioned it accidentally. Didn't my second brother tell you?
It's said.
That's it. Mother, since the second brother doesn't want to get married too early, why do you have to force him? It's not too late in five years anyway. Cheng Wei thinks that being forced to marry is the most annoying thing.
Han gave Cheng Wei a blank look: In another five years, you can calculate it. In another five years, how old your second brother will be, you will pester your second brother to ask about these things. He is embarrassed, so he is perfunctory to you like this.
The second brother doesn’t know how. Cheng Wei doesn’t want to hear Han say this.
My second brother will only not tell her about what he doesn't want to say, but will never perfunctory her.
Silly girl, if you are in peace today, the elders in the family are in good health. Then tell me, your second brother doesn’t want to get married, what’s the reason?
Cheng Wei was stunned and couldn't speak when asked by Han.
Han continued: If you want to say that you are afraid of affecting your studies, in fact, with your second brother's age, it is rare to pass the imperial examination. After this spring exam, no matter the result, the marriage can no longer be delayed. When the guests come, you will be the main receptionist of his girl. Let's take a look at the girl's character and whether you understand.
I understand.
Seeing Cheng Wei's expression light, Han reminded: Wei'er, since childhood, everyone has seen your second brother's kindness to you. Don't be as willful as a child. Now, it's time for you to work hard for your second brother.
Oh, I understand. I will take a closer look at the girl and choose a good wife for my second brother.
Cheng Wei left Yiranyuan and went straight to Changqingyuan.
The bamboo forest is quiet, with only the rustling sound of bamboo branches swaying when the wind blows. Occasionally, birds swept by, and three or two bamboo leaves floated down and fell on Cheng Wei's shoulders.
Cheng Wei walked through the bamboo forest and arrived at Changqingyuan on the green and yellow path.
Through the window, she saw her brother.
Cheng Che was still sitting next to the desk in front of the window, as if tired, and was closing his eyes to rest.
When he closed his eyes quietly, his dark eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if he had infinite thoughts.
Cheng Wei stood there and suddenly felt a little guilty.
My mother is right. Since childhood, my second brother has done too much for her, and she has done too little for her.
The second brother will be tired and lonely. Maybe it will be better after having a sister-in-law.
Cheng Wei stood outside the window and kept looking. Seeing that Cheng Che had not opened his eyes for a long time, he was afraid that his father would come soon and would not have time to talk to his brother. So he broke a bamboo branch, tiptoed over, leaned over through the window, and extended the bamboo branch under Cheng Che's nose and moved.
Cheng Che quickly opened his eyes, bumped into a smiling face, and pushed Zhuzhi helplessly, and said angrily: Weiwei, you are becoming more and more naughty.
Cheng smiled and threw the bamboo branches away, then walked into the room and came to Cheng Che: Second brother, it turns out that you are hiding in Changqingyuan, not studying, but sleeping.
That's not called sleeping, that's called nourishing the spirit. With the spirit, the talent and thoughts are flowing, do you understand?
Cheng Wei pursed her lips and smiled: I don’t understand, I only know that I was sleepy early in the morning, so I must have not slept well last night. Second brother, you should have read some scripts last night.
How could it be, is your second brother who is that kind of person?
Seeing that his brother had starry eyes and was not as tired as before, Cheng Wei felt relieved and stopped making fun of him.
Weiwei, why don’t you go to Jiseido today
Cheng Wei sat down next to Cheng Che and said: My father came here in the same year today, don’t you know?
Cheng Che was stunned: My father sent a message and said that he would ask me to accompany the guest. Why, do you want to stay?
My mother specifically told me to stay. Cheng Wei took out a bag of pine nuts from her sleeve and handed them to Cheng Che, saying that I would like to treat his girl well.
Seeing Cheng Che remained silent, Cheng Wei blinked: Second brother, I will tell you a secret, don’t tell it.
you say.
Cheng Wei leaned closer and his voice became low: My mother said, let me take a closer look at the girl. If she is a good person, maybe she will become my second sister-in-law.
