Chapter 45: Wishful thinking
The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, she shook her head, and only said, "I never thought about this problem. ”
"Huh?" Zhan Qingchu asked curiously: "Why?" ”
"Because it's all wishful thinking on my part." The eldest lady recalled the past, and said slowly and softly: "There are some things that you haven't been born yet, so you don't know. In fact, Cheng Lang and I have known each other since childhood. At that time, your grandfather was also a businessman, and your grandfather and my father used to be business partners, but after working together for a long time, they gradually became acquainted with each other, and became close friends, and the two of us moved more and more frequently.
Later, they married on the same day and had children on the same day. Mother, oh no, this mother is your grandmother, and my mother and my mother said that if we both have boys, let them be sworn brothers. If they all give birth to girls, let them be best friends. If they can give birth to a boy and a girl, then let them marry a baby.
However, the mother and mother both hope to get married, so that the relationship between the two families can be closer. However, they were all boys. But it didn't matter, they discussed again, whoever is the next gentleman and girl, will marry another family, and then I will be born. But at that time, Cheng Lang was several years older than me, and he had already begun to be sensible, and he didn't like to be bound to his relatives for a long time and not be free. was decisively rejected.
Later, as I grew up, the intersection of our two families was still very close, and I often liked to pester Cheng Lang to play. That's right, I've slowly fallen in love with Cheng Lang, but Cheng Lang just takes care of me like a sister, but the more this happens, the deeper I fall.
I hate it! I hated me, why couldn't I be braver then? I was worried, I hesitated, I was afraid, I didn't dare to express my heart to Cheng Lang until I ......! ”
The eldest lady gradually increased the speed of her speech, and she was fiercely fierce. After a moment of silence, she closed her eyes, shook her head, regained her composure and gentleness, and continued: "Until your mother, Nalan Ziqing, appeared, the woman who could drink and recite words and sing in the snow with Cheng Lang. Dressed in white, he won the snow, and his long black hair fluttered gently with the martial arts movements. She is indeed beautiful, so beautiful that people are jealous, so beautiful that people are enviable.
But that's not enough, why is she so kind and warm? Why are you being so nice to me? Cheng Lang didn't notice anything wrong with my emotional changes. She actually found out, comforted me, took care of me, and even wanted to be a sister to me......
Later, I also wanted to open it, I could watch Cheng Lang from afar, with Sister Ziqing, so happy and happy, I would be content. My family continued to introduce me to several family affairs, but I didn't get married, although I let go, but how easy is it to let go?
And then you were born. When you were just one year old, you once called me an aunt, and my heart was softened, and I also accepted your aunt. At that point, she had decided to really withdraw from their lives.
The eldest lady was still saying: "Later, foreign raids and border passes were tightened, and the imperial city began to recruit men as soldiers. Cheng Lang was taken a fancy and forcibly withheld his troops, but the subsidy also increased a lot. Cheng Lang was not happy at first, his wife, children, mother and daughter were all by his side, and he had no worries about food and clothing, who was willing to take this risk?
But the instructor who took a fancy to him said: Who is willing to live a life where one day is a day, desperately risking his life at any time? But we don't take this risk, once the border is broken, the people who take this risk will only be ourselves, our families, and thousands of lives!
