The two sons of the banker, obviously the second son, Zhuang Cheng, moved Liu Ting even more. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If the meeting with the eldest brother Zhuang Yu can always end after he sends a respectful greeting, then the result of meeting the second brother Zhuang Cheng is strange. Perhaps because the age difference is only two years, Zhuang Cheng has no worries about not entering his sister's courtyard. No matter what time it is, even if it is the night when Zhuang Shuo has already slept, the second young master of the Zhuang family can let the locked courtyard door open for him. Zhuang Cheng in the dream broke in at night when Zhuang Shuo was already lying down.

Zhuang Cheng, who came straight to the bed, bypassed Yun Qi and Yun Zhan, who got up under the bed, and sat directly on the edge of the couch and winked at Zhuang Shuo. He said excitedly, "Sister, get up and see." There's a broom star in the sky that you say is beautiful. ”

Liu Ting didn't have time to answer, and the nurse really put on her coat and bumped into her in a panic. With a flattering smile, Li Ju looked at Zhuang Cheng cautiously and reminded softly: "Miss is not in good health, and she is afraid of catching a cold when she goes out at night." ”

In the end, it is the son of General Zhongwu, Zhuang Cheng, who is only thirteen years old, has the posture of a general, and it is not polite to command the people in Zhuang Shuo's house at all. He turned to look at Zhuang Shuo, but actually said to his subordinates: "Then bring a thick robe for my sister and wrap it tightly and go out." ”

At that time, Liu Ting was already accustomed to Zhuang Cheng's sudden arrival. She drove Zhuang Shuo's body to the other side, no longer looking at the second son of the Zhuang family.

Although she was shocked by the handsomeness of the second young master of the Zhuang family at the first sight of Zhuang Cheng, she never thought that it was a good thing for a man to be handsome. In comparison, Liu Ting prefers to deal with Zhuang Yu, who is thoughtful in etiquette, resolute and handsome. Even if the latter, like his father Zhuang Wangshu, inevitably gets along with the unique alienation of men to women in this era, it will not let her fall into the entry of not knowing how to deal with it.

Even if they are brothers and sisters, it is not appropriate to sit at the same table after the age of seven. This is Guo Yingying's countless times at the dinner table, raising her eyebrows and lowering her voice to reprimand Zhuang Cheng. But this sentence didn't seem to have any effect on Zhuang Cheng, at most it could make him sitting next to Zhuang Shuo move in the direction of Guo Yingying. As for breaking into his sister's boudoir at night, Zhuang Cheng did it even more openly. He had nothing to worry about when he brought the little maid into the hospital, that is, he was not afraid of Zhuang Shuo's displeasure, nor was he afraid of the iron face of Mama Jiang who rushed to hear the news.

Zhuang Cheng, who was fearless in the backyard of the General's Mansion, didn't get any response, and sat down closer in displeasure. He blinked his eyes and asked softly, "My sister doesn't want to see it?" Then I'll talk to my sister. Go down, all of you. ”

"Good. But don't let them go down. Knowing that Mama Jiang would appear soon and pull the handsome young master in front of her away, Liu Ting turned around and responded: "Let them help serve tea and water." ”

Zhuang Cheng looked at the other women in the room with an embarrassed face, and it took a long time to come to Zhuang Shuo's ear and say, "Mother said that I will go to Langao next year to propose marriage." ”

"Great. I'll have another sister-in-law. Liu Ting said with a smile: "I don't know who the second sister-in-law is." I heard that the sister-in-law is from the Jiang family in Jiaoling, and the second sister-in-law should not be compared to the Jiang family. ”

"Lang Ao can be worthy of the girl of the children of the Zhuang clan in Longxi, who else can there be besides Lang Ao Guo's family?" Zhuang Cheng became more and more sullen, and his eyes that shone like stars also dimmed. "It's my mother's cousin," he said. ”

Ancient families liked to intermarry internally, but there were only so many families, and of course there was not much choice. Liu Ting has long been surprised by this kind of thing. She was deliberately silent for a while to stall for time and wait for Mama Jiang's arrival. It wasn't until Zhuang Cheng, who didn't wait for a reply, looked over that she clapped her hands and smiled: "That second sister-in-law is not only a second sister-in-law, but also my cousin or cousin?" This is better, and I can pull my second sister-in-law to play with me. ”

"Is my sister really stupid or fake stupid? You don't know ......" Li Ju's action of handing over the tea made Zhuang Cheng suddenly silence. He took the tea and looked at the other people in the room, sighed and said, "How do you know that the second sister-in-law can play with you?" What if she had to help her mother manage her backyard? ”

"If the second sister-in-law helps my mother, my sister-in-law can play with me. Anyway, you and your eldest brother quickly married your sister-in-law and entered the door. Seeing that Mama Jiang, who was in a hurry, had already picked up the curtain and stood by the door, Liu Ting said happily: "Second brother, don't you want to be accompanied by your sister-in-law?" ”

"Of course it's nice to have someone with you. But from childhood to adulthood, there is no one else who can talk to me except you. Zhuang Cheng muttered in a low voice, ignoring the eyes that Mama Jiang threw at him: "Or, my sister will go to me to borrow a book tomorrow, right?" ”

When Zhuang Shuo went to look for a borrowed book, he would always stay in Zhuang Cheng's study. The reason is that Zhuang Wangshu's family of five only Zhuang Shuo and Zhuang Cheng are idlers.

Zhuang Wangshu has a military position, and he doesn't have much time to return home, and Zhuang Yu, who is diligent in military affairs, returns late at sunrise. Guo Yingying has to govern a huge backyard, and she also has to manage dozens of concubines in the house who are bought or sent, and she must not be idle. In addition, Yuanqing Town is only a small border town, and there are no other families at all. There are many official and business families who want to make friends with the bankers, but Guo Yingying doesn't seem to like to deal with local families, so she keeps them far away from the backyard door. In this way, Zhuang Cheng, who was locked up at home to study, could only deal with Zhuang Shuo.

Liu Ting can understand Zhuang Cheng's mood of wanting to get along with her sister, and she also likes to listen to Zhuang Cheng talk about the Zhuang family. Winking at Mama Jiang, Liu Ting deliberately raised her voice and said, "Okay." Tomorrow I will go to you to borrow books, and we will talk to each other in your study alone. ”

Zhuang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and Mama Jiang left with a call from the left and the right.

Liu Ting not only remembered Zhuang Cheng's entry into the door, but also remembered his patience with Zhuang Shuo.

As a person who came through the time, Liu Ting, who was entrusted to Zhuang Shuo, didn't need to make excuses, so Zhuang Cheng explained everything Zhuang Shuo should know to her in a soft and patient tone. He once threw off all his subordinates and took Zhuang Shuo to hide by the Hanging Flower Gate to watch General Zhongwu. He would point to the soldiers who followed Zhuang Wangshu with respect, and take the trouble to tell Zhuang Shuo the origin of the armor worn by the soldiers. He would also notice the curiosity in Zhuang Shuo's eyes, and made a diligent suggestion: "If my sister likes to look outside, I went to ask my mother to take you out for a good stroll, okay?" ”

He also complained to Zhuang Shuo in private: "My father asked my eldest brother to learn the art of war, but he never let me touch this piece, and only invited my husband to teach me the 'strategy' that I can't use to kill chickens." Since I was sensible, I envied my eldest brother for being able to enter and leave the barracks freely. It's not like me, but I can only be in this courtyard, holding the advice given by my husband all day long. ”

Although the General's Mansion gave Liu Ting the life of her dreams, the situation of being trapped in the backyard still made Liu Ting feel emotional. She remembers what she did. She comforted her second brother who cared for her in every way: "Strategy is a great thing, better than the art of war." The second brother envies the eldest brother, who knows if the eldest brother is envious of you? ”

Wrong wrong!

Liu Ting, who was in Aunt Qiang's house, suddenly interrupted her reminiscences. At the moment, her mind was full of questions.

Zhuang Cheng didn't know how to lead soldiers, and he rarely went out of the backyard. It was not his turn to take the officials to surround the Panshan Nunnery. What did Zhuang Wangshu and Zhuang Yu do? The former is a general stationed in Yuanqing Town, and Zhuang Wangshu should be responsible for both public and private affairs. No matter how bad it is, it should be the leader of Zhuang Yu, who has been in the garrison camp for more than ten years. Moreover, as the doctor said, Zhuang Cheng should have called his father's garrison, why did he take a long detour and use the official service?

No one answered Liu Ting's questions.
