Chapter 16: A Girl Next Door Grows Up (2)

There is such a thing next door, and Cheng Qi's update today is extremely heavy. When I put pen to paper, although I wrote about Ren Yingying, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but what came to mind was the "evil smile" Zhang Yan - of course, the pair of cute white rabbits jumping around were indispensable, although they were bound under the red belly pocket, but no matter how many times Cheng Qi washed his cold face, he couldn't forget the two names under the red silk......

Cheng Qi shook his head desperately, focusing on the Great Sect Master Ren in the West Lake Dungeon, but he couldn't imagine the picture that should be, so he simply threw away the pen angrily and walked out of the study to look at the moon.

In fact, it is the end of July, and there is no moon at all. However, there is a sky full of Milky Way, which is quite dazzling - this is a scenery that Cheng Qi, who has lived in the city since he was a child, has never seen in his previous life. Looking at the river man who didn't know how many billions of light years away, Cheng Qi said secretly; Such a magnificent scenery will be difficult to see in another one or two hundred years, as chimneys spread all over the world and street lamps light up every city.

When Cheng Qi was lamenting the strangulation of poetry by the progress of science and technology, he seemed to hear a girl calling softly on the other side of the fence: "Cheng Lang." ”

"It's Zhang Yan."

He walked over and saw that she was dressed a little thicker than during the dayβ€”at least it was tightly covered, and it didn't take advantage of his disciple-like eyes.

"Is Lord Lingtang feeling better?"

Zhang Yan shook her head gently: "It's not good...... Mom's body was already weak, but now she is anxious and angry, which is even worse. The doctor said that now she could only look at herself. ”

Cheng Qi has never been able to comfort people, and he doesn't know how to comfort a girl who is younger than himself but has to shoulder more responsibilities.

Zhang Yan looked at him and said, "Cheng Lang, I heard from your family that you wrote a book about chivalry and righteousness, right?" ”

"It's just a little bit of skill." Cheng Qi happily apologized.

Zhang Yan sighed faintly: "It's a pity that it's ...... But there are not so many heroes in life...... Cheng Lang, can you lend me that book to read? ”

"Absolutely." Cheng Qi immediately returned to the study and brought a single book: "This is a newly published single book, as well as the comments of the predecessors of the happy life of the rivers and lakes." This is for you. ”

Zhang Yan is also a down-and-out and generous girl who is not hypocritical and polite to others. She reached out and took the book from the other end of the fence: "The little girl has thanked her son for giving her the book." ”

"Neighbors...... Cheng Qi wanted to be polite, but he couldn't help asking, "What should you do in the future?" ”

"What should I do......" Zhang Yan smiled bitterly: "I will have some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, maybe after my mother leaves, I will find a Qinlou Chu Pavilion and sell myself to my mother to make a coffin...... What else can I do? ”

"Don't you still have some dowry here?"

"Who's to say that the man I marry won't be like him?"

Cheng Qi is also speechless, domestic violence seems to have never been cut off since ancient times. No one can guarantee that Zhang Yan will marry the right person in the future. Unless...... Impulsively, he said to her through the fence, "I'll marry you!" ”

On the other side of the wall, under the starlight, he could see Zhang Yan's stunned expression clearly. Cheng Qi was afraid that she would think she was joking, so he took two steps closer and repeated to her: "I am willing to marry you!" ”

After a few breaths, Zhang Yanjiao's pale face suddenly became flushed, and then her considerable chest bullied up and down, obviously her heart was beating quite hard.

"I ......"

Cheng Qi hated to climb over the wall and hugged the girl who needed protection: "I will protect you." He said firmly to Zhang Yan on the other side of the wall: "I will tell my father about this early tomorrow morning." ”

Cheng Qi didn't just say it, and the next morning when the family sat down for breakfast, he solemnly mentioned it to his father.

Cheng Liang heard from the servant about what happened next door yesterday when he was not at home, but he never expected his son to leave so fast.

"Marrying is a big deal." Cheng Liang is still reluctant to express his position: "It's important to choose a girl who is the right person - this matter will be discussed after your mother comes back." ”

After finishing speaking, he wiped his mouth and went out Shi Shiran to work in the yamen. Cheng Qi also put down the porridge bowl and returned to the study to continue to catch up with the manuscript. Today is a peaceful day, and the world is peaceful.

For days on end, he walked in the backyard at night, wondering if he would ever meet the beautiful girl next door again. It's a pity that the heavens refused to grant people's wishes, Zhang Yan has never come to the backyard since she was scared by him that night, causing the Cheng family to eat a lot of dew in vain, and almost got a cold.

As the start date of school is getting closer and closer, Cheng Qi also has to allocate some of his energy to packing luggage in between rushing to the manuscript. Although the Cheng family is not unable to afford to arrange a few servants in Bianliang, Tokyo to serve the living expenses of the big and small Langjun, but Cheng Liang is a somewhat old-fashioned official, he doesn't want people to feel that his scholarly family has anything in common with those speculative overseas nouveau riche, so he decided to let Wu Liwei and Cheng Qi go to Beijing together - especially a little hidden, he also found a school for Wu Liwei in Tokyo to complete the school registration, nominally like two friends went to Beijing to study together - as a result, Wu Liwei and his family were moved to tears, is simply regarded as a reborn parent of Cheng Liang.

Seeing that there are still four or five days to go out, this time I will not be able to come back until the Chinese New Year. Cheng Qi saw that his father was not in a hurry, and the beauty next door was not in a hurry. I'm really in a hurry. While repairing a book, he went to Huzhou to ask his uncle for help, telling him that he valued a gentle, virtuous and dignified girl next door, but his father was not in a hurry at all and wanted to renew the incense for the old Cheng family; On the one hand, I am determined, no matter whether I succeed tonight or not, I must go over the wall, and ask Zhang Yan's little beauty, are you going to ignore it after picking yourself up?

Just do it, Cheng Qi is a man of action. He made an excuse and said that he was going to write more drafts tonight while Wen Siru was like an avalanche, and drove Wu Liwei to his own residence to contribute to the future incense of the old Wu family with Miss Fuzi. I waited until the middle of the night, and the husband who was patrolling the street outside knocked on the bamboo stick, then changed into a neat and neat clothes, tied the cuffs and trousers with cotton ropes, and stepped on a little bit during the day, and then climbed over the fence wall that was more than half a person high - not far away, a pear blossom meow saw the whole process, sneered at someone's not very neat movements, bowed up, stepped on plum blossom steps, and walked up on the wall of unknown people.

After Cheng Qi landed, he looked left and right, and felt very excited in his heart. He tiptoed to the back door of Zhang's house by the starlight, and he saw from a window on the left that there seemed to be an oil lamp, so he touched it and knocked on the window lattice: "Sister Yan'er, sister Yan'er......"
