Chapter VI: Confession

"Cheng Wenyu."

Mr. Jiang Zhou, who had just entered the hall, frowned and shouted.

Cheng Shilang stood up with some trepidation.

"Go ahead."

Mr. Jiangzhou waved his hand and said.

Cheng Shilang's face turned pale suddenly, he missed a lot of classes a few days ago, and he didn't take leave with his husband, is this to drive him away?

"Sir, I—" He stammered to explain, but felt that it was unnecessary to explain.

Carry your own family's affairs, even if you are misunderstood because of this, you should be, there is no need to beg for this.

He said no more, bowed his head and collected the scroll.

"Finish it early and come back early, you've missed enough homework." Mr. Jiang Zhou said.

Cheng Shilang was stunned and raised his head to look at Mr. Jiangzhou.

Such a person is actually a brother and sister with that woman?

Mr. Jiangzhou frowned.

"Your family is coming for you." He raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Go and come back quickly!" ā€

Cheng Shilang finally came back to his senses and was immediately overjoyed.

Didn't you drive him away!

"Mr. Xie Luxie." He smiled happily and saluted.

Immediately, I thought that only Cheng Jianniang could find me through Mr., and I was suddenly uneasy.

Could it be that something happened again?

I knew that he shouldn't have come back that day....

Watching the young scholar stumble out of the house, Mr. Jiangzhou shook his head.

"Sit down." He knocked on a few cases and said solemnly.

The students who were talking and laughing were busy sitting upright.

ā€œā€¦ Wealth and nobility are what people want, not their way. Nowhere also. Poor and cheap. It is the evil of man. If you don't get it by its way, you won't go if you don't go..." [Note 1]

The sound of reading loudly sounded in the hall.

"But sister..."

Cheng Shilang ran out of the door in one breath, looked at the servant girl who took it and asked breathlessly.

Before he finished his words, the curtain of the carriage on the side was lifted, revealing the description of a girl.

Cheng Shilang's words came to an abrupt end.

"Thank you, brother." Cheng Jianniang said to him.

"Say thank you, I didn't help anything." Cheng Shilang said restrainedly, and raised his head again hurriedly, "Why did you come out?" That's it. Don't go out and blow the wind..."

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Cheng Jianniang said, smiling slightly.

Cheng Shilang sighed, he was not good at talking, especially in front of this woman.

The autumn wind is blowing, and the capital is already a little chilly in September.

Cheng Shilang was wearing a thin dress, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Here's some autumn and winter clothing." Cheng Jianniang said.

Looking at the burden brought by the maidservant, Cheng Shilang hurriedly thanked him.

"How can I worry about my sister." He said.

"If you think about me, I will naturally think about you." Cheng Jianniang said with a slight smile.

Cheng Shilang smiled again, hugged the burden and thanked him again.

"I've come here today to ask something." Cheng Jianniang said.

Outside the College. The floor is laid, and Cheng Shilang sits on it. Looking at the woman wrapped in a cloak opposite, holding the paper she had written down in her hand, she had been reading it for a while.

She looked focused, and seemed to be out of the sky, and while she lowered her eyes, Cheng Shilang had the courage to set his eyes on her.

It is not the glimpse in his impression, nor does it exist in the pictures he depicts, but he sits in front of him alive, dressed simply and plainly, but he can't hide the overflowing beauty.

She shook her head.

Cheng Shilang came back to his senses in shock.

"What? What else to write? He hurriedly asked.

"This is the genealogy of our Cheng family?" Cheng Jianniang raised her head and asked.

Cheng Shilang nodded.

"Ancestor Cheng Xun?" Cheng Jianniang looked down at the paper in her hand, the ink on it had not yet dried, and said, "That's not right." ā€

Wrong? Cheng Shilang was stunned.

The name of the ancestors, he, as a descendant, will not forget.

"It's Cheng Xun." He reiterated.

"Are you a native of Jiangzhou?" Cheng Jianniang asked again.

Cheng Shilang nodded.

No, no...

Cheng Jianniang shook her head, but there was nothing wrong with her, since she was no longer like her, it was normal for these people to be incompatible with her family...

"Sister, what's wrong?" Cheng Shilang asked.

Cheng Jianniang raised her head and smiled at him.

"No, that's right." She said.

The woman in front of him was laughing, but Cheng Shilang felt that Xiao Suo was sad, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel a little sad and guilty.

"I'm here this time to say goodbye to my brother." Cheng Jianniang said, "I'm going back to Jiangzhou in the near future." ā€

Going back?

"Yes, sister, go back." Cheng Shilang nodded and said, "It's difficult to be out alone. ā€

Cheng Jianniang looked at him and smiled again.

"Yes, it's hard to be out alone, my brother is in the capital, if there's anything, come to her." She said, gesturing to the maidservant next to her.

The maidservant stepped forward to salute, and there were tears in her eyes.

"I'm looking at the industry for my lady in the capital, and I'll ask my son to take care of me in the future." She said.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Cheng Shilang subconsciously returned the salute, and it was a little ridiculous after the salute.

He would be so polite to a slave.

Maybe it was because the slave and maid were by her side for a few days, saying that she was helping them, but in fact, without this maid, he couldn't help anything at all.

Belch... In fact, he didn't help anything in the first place.

Uh, actually... In fact, my sister seems to mean that she wants this maid to take care of him...

The carriage slowed down, and the maidservant lifted the curtain and saw the Taiping Ju not far away.

"Lady, do you want to go and see?" She asked.

Cheng Jiaoniang in the car kept her eyes closed and didn't open her eyes when she heard the words.

"Look." She said.

The maidservant sighed and turned her head to look at Taipingju.

ā€œā€¦ Lady, Steward Cao said that you can rest ahead... Lady, look at this restaurant, it's still famous..."

"Lady, what do you want to eat?"

The small pot appeared in front of me, and the heat diffused, as if it were real and illusory.

"Eun, it's delicious."

A little maid feasted and admired again and again.

The maidservant smiled at herself in front of her.

At the beginning, a small settlement shop, a small pot with a casual stomach, they themselves did not expect to cause so many things in the future.

I don't know if Dou Qi thinks about it, and regrets that he shouldn't have seen this passing immortal in the first place.

"Lady, look at the immortal residence."

The maidservant pointed out of the car and smiled.

Cheng Jianniang still had her eyes closed.

"What do you see?" She asked.

The maid looked out of the car, the fairy house was bright, and there were no guys surging in front of the door, but she didn't feel the slightest sense of withering and deserted.

"See, the world is difficult." She said with a slight smile.

"What else?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

"And the Heavenly Way is ruthless." The maidservant said.

"What else?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

"And be careful." The maidservant said.

"What else?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

The maid smiled slightly.

"Also, be kind." She said.

Cheng Jianniang opened her eyes and looked at her, and she also smiled slightly.

The maidservant looked at her, leaned down to salute, and did not get up for a long time.

Banqin at home is already tidying up the salute.

"Actually, there's nothing to tidy up." She said with a smile, turning her head to look outside.

The maidservant sat on the ground under the porch at the door, looking at the courtyard and seemed to be distracted.

Banqin walked over and sat down next to her.

"Sister Banqin, in fact, I should look at this yard." She laughed, "Why do you look so fascinated?" ā€

The handmaid sighed and turned to look at her.

"I should see, because the lady is gone, and the yard is gone." She said.

Banqin grinned.

"Sister, I always don't understand what you say." She laughed.

The maidservant looked at her smiling face and raised her hand to poke her forehead.

"It's me who hurts and partes, you smile so happily in front of me, it's really hateful." She said.

Banqin smiled and hugged her hand.

"Sister Banqin, I can't bear you either." She said.

The handmaid let her hold her.

"In the future, you will take good care of the lady." She said, smiled again after speaking, and looked at Banqin, "I shouldn't have said this, you were the one who took care of the lady." ā€

"I'm just taking care of the lady, but you can help the lady." Banqin said.

"It's the lady who teaches it well." The maidservant smiled, "It's also an opportunity given by the lady." ā€

She said as she stretched.

"I learned a lot from my mother, and I can't finish it in a lifetime, but I still have to do it myself." She said, clenching her fist.

Banqin nodded.

"Sister Banqin will definitely do it." She said.

…………………….

In the palace, the chamberlain stepped forward.

"Your Highness, Mrs. Cheng asked people to give a word."

King Jin'an, who was reading with his head down, put down the scroll in surprise.

"Huh? She would even take the initiative to find me? He said, and immediately smiled, "Ha, you must be asking me how I know how to ask her name!" ā€

The waiter looked at the young man's bright smiling face, and suddenly felt a little unbearable.

"She's... Farewell. He whispered.

Farewell...

"Before you leave, remember to say hello to me."

What a good friend who keeps his promises.

The King of Jin'an smiled slightly.
