Chapter 5: The Abyss of Depth and Shallowness (16)

"Will you do it?" She looked directly at Cheng Zhichen, "When I go back, I have to give my father permission to speak." Shu Xianyu came to me to let you know that if I don't marry you in this life, I won't marry anyone. If you will, I'll go and tell him. If you refuse, I abide by celibacy, and whoever wants to force me will become a nun or ...... In short, I will not marry the Bai family, let alone Tao Xiang. ”

Cheng Zhichen looked at her.

Suo Yanlin turned her head back, "I don't know what's wrong with me, what's wrong with you, I decided you......" She heard him approach. Like every time he approached her, her heart beat faster. Jumped so fast that she was in excruciating pain and seemed to be alive if she caught him. She closed her eyes.

"Yan Lin, I have to report to my parents before I can propose to the chief." Cheng Zhichen said.

Suo Yanlin turned around quickly, and looked at Cheng Zhichen with a pale face, "You...... Say what? Wet"

"I am the son of the Cheng family, and although I have taken a different path, I still have an unshirkable responsibility for this family. This time, you also saw the situation of my family. Zhichen said, sighing softly, "I deliberately concealed it when I was interested in joining the army, and there are very few people who know my situation." It's not that it's a matter of intention, and it's not just a secret. But I think the chief and Director Luqiu should know better. ”

"I've never asked you that." Suo Yanlin blushed.

"Why are you so anxious?" Zhi Zhi calmly said.

Suo Yanlin bit his lower lip.

looked at Cheng Zhichen with teary eyes.

"I can't agree to anything to you rashly, because I have to tell my parents no matter what, and I will have to explain it in front of the chief and his wife in the future. You know why they're against me, and I have to be prepared to talk to them. No matter what, I always know how you treat my heart. That's why I can't act rashly. Zhichen explained.

Suo Yanlin's face was flushed and he bit his lip tightly.

Suddenly, she raised her hand and slapped her heart and said, "You are really ...... It's so ruthless. How can you bear to look at me...... Panicked. What if I'm looking for a short-sightedness? ”

"You're not that kind of person." Zhichen smiled, grabbed her hand, and asked, "What now?" ”

"I want to kiss you." Yan Lin said in a low voice. The sound of mosquitoes and flies penetrated into the ears of both of them.

"You dare." Zhichen also whispered. He let go.

"Third Young Master." A girl in a green shirt came and knocked on the door of the flower hall.

The door didn't close.

Suo Yanlin turned around, pretending to admire the orchids, and then took two or three steps away from Zhichen.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that it was cardamom, Zhi Chen asked.

"Mrs. said that it has been prepared early, let the third young master invite the guests over." Cardamom said clearly.

"Got it. You go first. Cheng Zhichen looked at Suo Yanlin's blushing face as if he was blushing, and when Cardamom walked away, he said, "Did you hear that?" My mother is going to see you. ”

"What to do...... Shall I just leave? Suo Yanlin's face flushed. It's too reckless. If she breaks into this way, what will Mrs. Cheng think of her......

"Scared now?" Cheng Zhichen asked.

"You still say! It's not all your fault! If you tell me straight, is that so? Suo Yanlin stomped his feet, "Look at me, my face hasn't been washed, and my clothes haven't changed, so I see you...... See ......"

Cheng Zhichen laughed.

Suo Yanlin was stunned for a moment.

This is the first time that Zhichen has laughed heartily after seeing her this time. This smile, with a vivid face, is really heartbreaking. She sighed earnestly. The so-called Heavenly Demon Star is like this. She was willing to break her bones for this smile...... She shuddered.

When Cheng Zhichen saw her like this, he said, "Let's go." My mother wants to see you too. She's going to love you. ”

Yan Lin looked at Zhi Chen and asked softly, "Will she think I'm ......?"

"No, it won't." Zhichen turned around after saying that, and Yan Lin followed.

The two walked side by side on the narrow road.

"Zhichen?" Yan Lin called him.

"Huh?" Zhichen looked at Yanlin, and it was really very different from her usual appearance. He smiled and said, "Shh...... You two, why don't you come over to me? ”

Suo Yanlin was stunned.

She was all focused on Zhichen, and she didn't notice that there were other people nearby, so she saw it for a while, and two figures flashed out of the flower wall, which were Zhichen's picturesque younger siblings...... This place is not far from the flower hall, and when she thinks of it just now, she suddenly feels embarrassed.

"Third brother, go quickly, mother and aunt should be in a hurry." Zhishen urged them with a smile.

Zhichen looked at Jing Yi beside Zhishen, snorted, and said, "You two come together." ”

They walked ahead, and Jing Yi and Zhi Shen fell behind.

Jingyi lowered her head, and the shoelaces opened at some point, and she squatted down to tie her shoelaces.

When I squatted down, I felt a little dizzy, and I put my hand on the ground.

Zhishen stretched out his hand to help Jingyi up, and said: "There are some things, false and real, there are real things, so there will not be such a big movement, don't go to your heart." ”

Just now, the two of them were outside, vaguely, what the third brother and Miss Suo said, they listened to it for a while.

When Miss Suo mentioned Tao Xiang, Jing Yi's face was not very good.

He was both surprised and outrageous when he heard it - did the Tao family step on two boats? However, the previous marriage was so active, and Jingyi's departure from such a big thing did not make the Tao family change their original intentions...... Or are you waiting for Tao Xiang to come back from Nanjing and make a decision? If that's the case, it makes sense, why Tao Xiang is back, and there is still no movement about the engagement.

Jingyi didn't speak, and looked at Zhichen and Yanlin, who were walking in front.

"Mother will like Miss Suo, right?" Jingyi asked. Suo Yanlin's temperament should be liked by Du's mother. Generous and decent in speech and demeanor, graceful in speech and crisp in speech, very stylish.

Zhishen sighed and said, "Mother, as long as the third brother likes it, she probably won't object to it." Today, I accompanied my mother and aunt to my eldest cousin's house again, and on the way back, my mother also said that she was really worried that the third brother was going to become a monk, so my aunt persuaded my mother, saying that my mother would ask the third brother in private, whether he had already intended to be a crusher. Aunt Wei said that she always felt that the third brother was not in a hurry, but she was confident. Mother didn't believe it. At this time, I remembered Aunt Wei's words, but Aunt Wei was careful. This Miss Suo is too different from the third sister-in-law who passed away. ”

Jing Yi thinks about it, isn't it, there is almost no resemblance...... No, there are.

They looked at the third brother's eyes.

"Are the eldest cousin and the child okay? Why did you go there a while ago and go again today? Jingyi saw Suo Yanlin standing under the eaves of the upper house, tidying up her dress. In fact, she was extremely decent from head to toe, and she was so nervous, but it was because of the man next to her...... Jingyi turned her face away, and when she heard it, she said: "It was a trip before, and my mother couldn't put it down, and now I want to talk to my aunt and go again." If you want me to say...... It's just not something we can control. ”

Zhishen's frowning appearance made Jingyi's heart move.

He was obviously angry and didn't want to talk to her in detail.

Jingyi probably also knew that today's visit must be a little unpleasant. She made up her mind to visit Wuwu in person, so she said to Zhishen: "Brother Jiu, I still don't go to my mother's place." After all, Miss Suo came for the first time, and there were many people, so I was afraid she would be embarrassed. ”

Zhishen nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Jingyi went back to Xinglu alone, passing by the courtyard of the third wife, and the people in the flower room were carrying pots of chrysanthemums and flower shelves. There were two flower shelves in the middle of the road, and Jingyi couldn't pass it, so she stood down and looked into the yard, but she didn't see the third lady. She was about to leave when she heard someone whispering within the courtyard walls.

“…… Our wife said that Miss Ten is afraid that she will not be able to marry the seventh master of the Tao family......"

The flower stand happened to be horizontal in front of her, and Jingyi walked left and right, but she couldn't do it, and no one immediately came to carry it away, so she had to stand down again. The conversation was low, but it was only a wall, and she could hear it clearly. The two old mothers gossiped under the wall.

Jingyi coughed, intending to remind that the people over there didn't hear it.

"Isn't it all settled?"

"Haven't you heard, Miss Ten is sick this time, it's not a cold-infecting cold, it's obviously a runaway from marriage and was beaten by the master...... I heard that if it weren't for the second wife, tsk, the second wife would really be a bit of a fox...... If she hadn't thought of interceding, the old man would be afraid that he wouldn't be able to kill Miss Ten...... Let you say, the Tao family will still want such a daughter-in-law? ”

"Tut-tut, how can Miss Ten have a good life......

“…… I heard that I was going back and forth with a male student in the school...... The foreign school is really ......."

The sound is getting lower.

Jing Yi's hand trembled.

“…… Our wife said that the boy was ......."

Suddenly, there was a low cry, as if he was frightened.

Jing Yi's heart fluttered, as if she had been hit by something.

She immediately turned around and stepped onto the steps.

After only two steps, I heard the third lady calling in the courtyard.

"Mother Wu! Where have you been, Wu...... If the Chengri family wants you to do the work, you won't see anyone, and there are a bunch of miscellaneous things here...... Did I take out my clothes? The third wife's red voice was sharp and high-pitched.

"Yes, yes, ma'am! Take it! Wu's mother agreed, and trotted away.

Jingyi saw clearly that it was indeed Mother Wu beside the third wife...... What did she just say?
