Chapter Thirty-Nine: The One Who Knows My Sister Best Is My Brother
"How did Che'er find out?" The old lady Meng's eyes tightened.
For this grandson, who is becoming more and more outstanding day by day and occupies the position of the eldest son of the second son, Meng's feelings are indescribably complicated.
She knew that in terms of etiquette, everyone had to admit the grandson who had passed on to her, but the second son was her favorite son, thinking that everything in the future of the second son would give priority to this grandson, and the two biological sons would have to stand behind, so she had an unspeakable depression, so she was always subconsciously on guard against this grandson.
People who go out to study can learn that Cheng Wei was injured in the Weiguo Mansion, which is really a bit strange.
The subtle change in Meng's expression did not hide Cheng Che, he half-lowered his eyes to hide the faint mockery in his eyes, and his voice was tired: "Grandson met the Tao family brothers on the way, and I heard him mention it." β
"Brother Tao? What Che'er said is the ...... of your eldest uncle's mother's family" Meng didn't remember these juniors very clearly, and looked at Han at the moment.
"It's my sister-in-law's nephew. A few days ago, my daughter-in-law heard my sister-in-law mention that my brother couldn't stay in the capital and went to Huicheng. β
As early as when Cheng Che came in, Han was faintly relieved in his heart, although this son was not the meat that fell from her body, he always had feelings over the years, and he acted properly, and in this mess, there was finally someone who could share his worries.
The old lady Meng Shi suddenly said: "I heard you mention that Brother Ran entered Beijing this time to worship Mr. Gu, right?" β
"Yes, it's a pity that when Brother Ran entered Beijing, Mr. Gu took Che'er to Huicheng."
The old lady Meng glanced at Cheng Che, and then smiled: "No wonder you can meet it on the way." β
Cheng Che patiently listened to the old lady and asked, "Grandmother, mother, where is the third sister now?" How's the person doing? β
Hearing Cheng Che mention Cheng Wei again, the old lady was unhappy and didn't bother to answer, so she only glanced at Han Shi lightly.
Han Shi opened his mouth and said: "Wei'er is in Feixuju, and now ...... Still asleep. β
Cheng Che was shocked: "Mother, has the third sister been asleep so far?" It's been more than 20 days! β
"It's not." Han explained, "It's okay, the crown princess came two days ago, and everyone went over to see her together, Wei'er was frightened again for some reason, so she fell asleep again." β
"Grandmother, mother, then I'll go see the third sister first!"
"Che'er-" Han called out to Cheng Che, "You always have to change and wash before you go over." β
"I'll wait until my son finishes reading the third sister."
Cheng Che hurried to Feisuju, and as soon as he entered the courtyard door, he smelled a faint smell of medicine, and couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"Second son." Qiaorong stood under the porch with a black face, thinking that Huan Yan could serve the girl in the house, but she could only blow the cold wind and stare at the little girl thrush decoction, so she imagined a villain with a happy face in her mind, she took an embroidery needle and poked it vigorously, and suddenly saw a man in a green robe coming from far and near, like a gurgling spring like a mountain stream in the morning light, which made people look at the irritability in their hearts and wash away, and their eyes couldn't help but light up, and they swung their waists to meet them.
Cheng Che nodded lightly, staggered a distance, staggered past the maid with a slightly larger twist in his waist, settled in front of the medicine stove, stared at the black-brown medicinal juice and asked, "This is for the girl to drink?" β
"Yes." Seeing that it was the second son, the little maid Thrush who was fanning the fire hurriedly stood up and replied.
Seeing that Thrush and Cheng Che were talking, Qiaorong secretly regretted that it was not him who had just decocted the medicine, and hurriedly came over: "Second son, come and see the girl, the maid will go and give you a good speech." β
Cheng Che raised his eyes: "Isn't the girl asleep, who is she talking to?" β
He didn't like the girl's eyes, so he didn't look at it again, and walked inside.
Qiao Rong has always reacted quickly, and he was stunned for a moment before catching up: "The maid will show you the way!" β
She twisted her waist and walked in, met Huan Yan who came out with a washbasin, and hurriedly said, "Sister Huan Yan, give me the basin." β
While reaching out to pick it up, he said angrily: "Didn't you say that I will clean the girl's face when the medicine is decoctioned, the girl doesn't like the water to be too hot." β
Huan Yan stared at Qiaorong's waist, and her beautiful face wrinkled: "Sister Qiaorong, do you have waist cramps?" Beware of smashing the basin. β
These words were like a sharp sword piercing Qiao Rong's heart, she even forgot that the second son was still there, and at that moment her eyebrows were raised, and she reprimanded: "Huan Yan, you little hoof-"
"I'm going to make a fuss." Cheng Che squinted over and said lightly.
Somehow, it's obviously a faint sentence, not like the eldest prince holding the shelf of the prince when he is training, nor like the third prince when he is training, but Qiaorong just doesn't dare to say more, and walks to the door with his head down with the washbasin.
As soon as she was nervous, she forgot to return to her normal walking posture, and her waist twisted even more, but this time there was a heavy washbasin in her hand, and the washing water immediately sprinkled a little as soon as she stepped on it, and when she stepped on it, she suddenly slipped, and she heard a click, and her waist twisted!
Huan Yan steadily caught the basin that was almost thrown out by Qiao Rong, and said with hatred: "Sister Qiao Rong, look, I said that you will fall into the basin with waist cramps, but fortunately I have been paying attention to it." β
Qiao Rong trembled his lips and almost fainted, but he was afraid that the second son behind him would be annoyed, so he had to hold his waist and move to the door step by step, trembling in pain, and when he got out of the door, he collapsed.
Cheng Che raised his hand to open the bead curtain leading to the inner room, and saw a thin girl sleeping quietly on the bed, silent, and the silence was terrifying, as if she was about to be swallowed up by a wide brocade.
He walked over quickly, his eyes fell on the girl's sunken cheeks and pointed chin, and he couldn't help but feel distressed, took her hand, and called softly: "Weiwei-"
Cheng Wei's eyelashes moved slightly while sleeping on the bed.
Cheng Che, whose eyes had never left the girl's face, tightened his eyes, increased the strength in his hand, and called again: "Weiwei-"
Cheng's tiny fan-like eyelashes fluttered slightly, and a crystal teardrop rolled down from the corner of his eye.
Cheng Che hurriedly took out a neatly folded white muslin handkerchief from his bosom to gently wipe her tears, and two fat dragonflies were embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief, which was particularly eye-catching.
"Weiwei, you can hear the second brother's words, right?" Cheng Che only felt a big stone blocked in his chest, and said softly, "I'm sorry, the second brother came back late." β
As he spoke, he suddenly felt the hand he was holding move, and his eyes couldn't help but light up: "Weiwei, the second brother promised you that you won't go far in the future, you should wake up early." β
Cheng Wei, who has been asleep for two days in a row, is actually still conscious, but he always has a little less strength to open his eyes, listening to Cheng Che's words at the moment, he is so anxious that he desperately raises his eyelids, wanting to see the second brother who has not been seen for many days.
Cheng Che saw that Cheng Wei reacted to what he said, and promised: "Weiwei, when you wake up, will the second brother tell you a story?" Didn't you say that you wanted to hear the story of "The Story of the Mandarin League"? At that time, the second brother didn't tell you, but he will tell you when you wake up. β
Cheng Wei, who couldn't open his eyes, was anxious.
She has wanted to hear the story of "The Mandarin League" for a long time, it is said that it is the story of a young lady who died of illness and married her fiancΓ© who married her childhood sweetheart.
This has been popular for more than two years, but she still overheard someone mention it and pestered her second brother to tell her, but the second brother pulled his face and disagreed. She simply quietly sent the little maid to the study to buy it, and after she bought it, she was caught by the second brother before she could turn it over, that is, from then on, the second brother never told her stories again.
Yes, for Cheng Wei, this "Mandarin League" has been asking for two years, and the temptation is not ordinary.
She was so anxious that her forehead was sweating, but when she wanted to open her eyelids, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, it seemed that she was still a little short.
Cheng Che seemed to be able to feel the anxiety of his younger sister, and while wiping her sweat with a handkerchief, he threw out a bait: "This time I went to Huicheng with my husband to study, and found that there is a snack called 'Mandarin Duck Milk Roll' in Huicheng, the second brother tasted it, the milk is rich, sweet and sour, you must like it, but it's a pity that that thing is fragile and can't be brought back." β
Cheng Wei, who couldn't open her eyes, was anxious and aggrieved when she heard it, and the second brother in her heart was getting worse and worse, although she couldn't open her eyes, she could hear it, why didn't she just read "The Story of the Mandarin League" to her? And what kind of mandarin duck milk rolls, since they are perishable, why bother to say it, so that she can't hear it and eat it!
The little girl was depressed, so she heard Cheng Che say slowly: "However, I think Weiwei must love to eat, so I pestered the mother-in-law who made mandarin duck milk rolls to learn." β
Cheng Che looked at Cheng Wei with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and saw that her eyelashes trembled, and she finally opened her eyes.
