Thirty-two years old.

Cheng Qi thought in her heart, the year she crossed over was thirteen years old, and now nineteen years of time have washed over her body, occasionally thinking of modern life, as if she was in another world, she lowered her head and looked at her palms, because she didn't have to do any heavy work, so her skin was still very delicate, unlike a woman who had passed the age of thirty, she reached out and touched her cheek, which was still very elastic, which showed that the body of the traverser was much stronger than the local aborigines.

She opened the curtains, the morning sun shone in, it was summer, even if it was not noon, the sun was more dazzling, Cheng Yan on the tent bed snorted, woke up from sleep by the light, rubbed his sour eyes, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoqi." ”

Cheng Qi responded lightly, sat on the edge of the bed, and poured a cup of tea to drink.

Cheng Yan opened his eyes and looked at her sideways, obviously he was over thirty years old, but his shoulders and body were still so soft and slender, and he was not satisfied with his nights, and he was willing to give up until he had exhausted her, and after the baptism of the years, Cheng Qi's body no longer had the initial anger and irritability, the years were quiet, day by day as usual, and the beauty of intellectuality and virtuous lady was vividly displayed.

It's been six years, and another six years have passed in a hurry.

Maybe happy times always fly by, as fast as if only six days have passed, Cheng Yan got out of bed, walked over and hugged her from behind, he deliberately pressed his weight on Cheng Qi's back, causing the man to giggle and say: "Childish death, people who are almost two hundred years old." ”

This was awkward, but it hit Cheng Yan's laughter, and the man deliberately made her itch and said, "And say me, aren't you also an old woman in her forties." ”

This sentence made Cheng Qi stunned for a moment, that's right, he has lived twenty-four years in modern times, and he has lived here for nineteen years, adding up, he is really forty-three years old, and he took a deep breath, it seems that the body is young, and the mind is always young.

"But I look like I'm only twenty-four or five years old."

Cheng Qi pouted and retorted.

"So I don't look like I'm two hundred years old."

Cheng Yan still refuses to let go of her, the two have been married for sixteen years, and he always likes to stick to Cheng Qi, that person also knows Cheng Yan's temperament, and he lets him stick it every time, even when he sleeps in summer, pushing Cheng Yan away, just like tearing a dog skin plaster.

"By the way, didn't you say today that the Zhao family is going to bring Zhao Gongzi to the door to meet?"

Cheng Qi suddenly remembered and said, "Did Sister-in-law Yuan tell Ning'er about this matter?" ”

Cheng Yan was reluctant to tire her, stood up straight, thought about it and said, "It doesn't seem to be there yet." Sit down and smile lightly, "Ning'er's temperament is even more wild than you used to be, and she follows You Zhi in and out all day long, and she doesn't have a home, if she knew about this, she would have run away a long time ago." ”

"That's right."

Cheng Qi got up, and he didn't need to wash carefully when he stayed in the house, but after all, there was a guest coming to the door today, so he simply dressed up, Cheng Yan liked to see her slowly draw her eyebrows and lips, that kind of demure feeling, I really hope that time will be frozen here for a moment.

"Xiaoqi."

Cheng Yan sat next to him, resting his elbows on the dressing table, looking at the man affectionately.

Cheng Qi glanced at him, and was shocked by his gaze, and frowned: "Why are you looking at me with such disgusting dead eyes." He turned his head and continued to trace his eyebrows in the mirror, "Don't hurry up and put on your clothes, you have to go to court." ”

"An empty day is nothing." Cheng Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Being an official is really the most boring thing in the world, I think when I went to Beijing alone to serve as the head of Dali Temple, in those two years, I was really about to be annoyed to death, the criminal murder case was not handled, and I was involved in lawsuits for those officials and dependents every day, besides, it was okay to have Qiubai and Cheng Yuan, no matter how bad it was, there was Taiheng, who made him now promoted to the governor of Kyushu and transferred back to Beijing." ”

"You're a master."

Cheng Qi took a sip of the red paper, and the small lips were red like washed cherries: "What does it look like." Turning her head, she suddenly saw Cheng Yan swishing her face over, she was stunned for a moment, and was about to scold, but Cheng Yan kissed her gently, this is already a common thing, Cheng Qi is not surprised, the man reached out and held her in his arms, just a few seconds later, there was a flash of cunning in her eyes, and Cheng Yan blew violently.

"Ahem—"

Cheng Yan didn't notice it, he was startled, and then looked at the person in his arms angrily: "Little friend, I've learned badly." ”

Cheng Qi knew that he was pretending to be a calf, stood up and said, "Okay, let's go to the dining hall for breakfast." ”

"Don't."

As Cheng Qi said, Cheng Yan will be two hundred years old soon, but this person is old and old, and he prefers to be coquettish, he dragged Cheng Qi to sit on his lap, and pestered her like an octopus: "Let's eat in the room by ourselves, quietly, how good." ”

Cheng Qi couldn't resist him, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

"Auntie!"

As he was talking, there was a crisp homophony outside, Cheng Yan heard it, his face immediately sank, Cheng Qi couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this, and forcibly got up and said: "Look at you, let's not go to the dining hall to eat, naturally someone will come to urge us." I walked over and opened the door of the bedroom, and a three- or four-year-old little male doll stood there in front of me obediently and cutely, it was Cheng Dai and Luo Yu's son, Cheng Ye.

This child's personality and appearance are all with Luo Yu, not as annoying as Cheng Dai, Cheng Qi squatted down, looked at his sleeve, and said, "Why is it wet?" ”

"It's all slaves who are careless."

Qingmiao hurriedly walked over, after so many years, Qingmiao is also very beautiful, now twenty-five or sixteen years old, married to a good family, four years ago gave birth to a pair of beautiful dragon and phoenix fetuses, and now she is still working in the house, her husband and children are also there, especially children, to be cultivated as a family child, and serve the Cheng family in the future, such as Cheng Ye, the most loyal.

"The little master knocked over the teacup, and the slave was about to take him to change it." Miao said.

"No need."

Cheng Qi picked up Cheng Ye with one hand, pulled up the wet cuffs with the other hand, and said, "Anyway, it will get dirty after breakfast, so let's just change it together after eating, I'll take him over, and you can go to eat quickly." ”

Qingmiao answered, turned around and remembered something again, and said with a smile: "By the way, Sister Yueying is about to come out of confinement, maybe I can come back to see the girl today." ”

"Five in seven years."

Cheng Yan walked over unhurriedly and picked up Cheng Ye from Cheng Qi's arms: "This Yueying is really capable of giving birth." ”

Qing Miao chuckled and hurried down.

"The root of the tongue of the slave behind your back is really yours."

Cheng Qi glanced at him.

Cheng Yan didn't care very much, just turned his head to look at Cheng Yan, the little doll was playing with his ears, and said in a low voice: "Little rabbit, you are the best at disrupting the situation." ”

Cheng Ye didn't understand, and had fun.

…

…

"Slice the elbow!"

Sure enough, Cheng Qi, who saw the food, was beaten back to her original shape in another moment, whether it was her brother and sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law, or younger brother and sister, or nephew and niece, she had to let her, which was really speechless.

"How can there be a slice elbow?" Liang Zhu turned his head and asked, "But Granny Pang is back?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, as soon as Granny Pang's granddaughter-in-law came out of confinement, the old lady hurried back, saying that our Jiaqi girl likes to eat this sliced elbow the most, and it can't be missing." ”

"I'm in my early thirties, and I'm still a girl." Cheng Yan complained slowly beside him.

Cheng Qi was lazy, and said: "My granddaughter-in-law is confined, how can I ask her to serve?" It's almost eighty, and her daughter-in-law is there. ”

"It's not that her granddaughter-in-law is hypocritical." Xi Xin was beside the cloth and said, "The slave heard that the daughter-in-law married by her grandson was also a noble lady of a family in the past, and she had a bit of aristocratic blood, but the family was down, and it was because she heard that Granny Pang's grandson was working in our Cheng Mansion, and he was extremely shameful, so he married into their family, gave birth to a child, and disliked her mother-in-law's poor service, so she tossed Granny Pang back and forth." ”

Cheng Qi smiled lightly, but Cheng Dai said coldly beside him: "Stinky problem." "Pick up vegetables for Luo Yu, and said, "When Jinshu was pregnant with Ye'er, let alone resting, even the horse could be ridden, and the confinement came out in ten days, she was good, it was two months, and it was endless." ”

"People are different, uncle."

Cheng Ning took a bite of the chicken leg and looked at Cheng Dai next to her with wide eyes, six years have passed, this girl turned fifteen years old last month, and her beautiful face has fully inherited the best advantages of her father, and she is even more beautiful than the young Cheng Qi, but unlike her aunt, Cheng Qi is fresh in her bones, and she has a wild nature that is different from that of the Central Plains, and she wants to go to the next level, and I don't know how Cheng Yuan and Liang Zhu were born.

Cheng Dai turned his head, for this niece who makes a lot of trouble all day long, his cold and irritable temper is unusually good, it seems that fathers are partial to their daughters, but Ye'er's kid can be carried back and forth by Cheng Dai in the yard.

"Eat well, you're busy today."

Cheng Dai simply unscrewed off another chicken leg and put it in her bowl.

"Busy with what?"

Cheng Ning swallowed the chicken and looked at Cheng Dai in a daze.

Having said that, Cheng Ning didn't know that he was going to be arranged for a blind date today, and Cheng Dai didn't know that Cheng Ning was being kept in the dark, as soon as he said this, the atmosphere on the table was not good, Luo Yu was the most, and he stepped on Cheng Dai directly under the dinner table, and the man drank porridge and almost choked to death.

"Why am I busy today?"

Cheng Ning is a questioning character, his cheeks are bulging, and he continued: "What kind of festival is today? ”

"It's nothing, eat your meal."

Seeing this, Cheng An on the side hurriedly picked up vegetables for her again, and squeezed Cheng Piao again, thinking that the person would help play the round, who knows, this person is obviously the son of Cheng Lan and Shen Lu, but his temperament is as bad as Cheng Dai, and he said without thinking about it: "The son of the Zhao family is coming." ”

"I'll rub!"

Cheng Qi slapped the back of the man's head, Cheng Piao's face almost slapped into the sauce bowl in front of him, and Cheng Lan on the side saw this and said unhappily: "Grandma, if you want to give birth to a child, you can beat my son casually, what are you doing to beat my son." ”

Shen Lu said to the outside: "If you play well, you don't have the eyesight to see it, you are sixteen or seventeen." He turned his head again and smiled at Cheng Ning, who had already reacted and showed surprise and annoyance, "Ah Ning, today the second son of the Zhao family comes to the door, you will appreciate your face, and you will talk about it when you see others." ”

Cheng Ning's wild horse temperament, how could she accept the constraints of this arranged marriage, she originally wanted to shoot the case, but the table was full of elders, she was fierce, but she was not rude, she just puffed out her mouth and put down her chopsticks unhappily to show her attitude.

"It's just to meet once, and it's not for you to marry him directly." Liang Zhu said lightly, "I have seen the second son of the Zhao family, and your uncle Zongyu has also seen it, he is a good boy with a good character, besides, the eldest lady of the Zhao family has asked to see several times, and the worship posts have been piled up, and there must be one person tall, no matter what you say, you have to see each other, no, I don't have to let people say that our Cheng family is big, and it doesn't sound good." ”

"It's just, just to see each other."

Shen Lu also said: "I won't lose a piece of meat for you, if you don't like it, forget it, who can force you to fail." After thinking about it, he moved out of a person and said, "And I tell you, the old lady deserves it when the Zhao family comes to the door, if you don't want to see it, go and tell your great-grandmother yourself." ”

If you want to talk about this mansion, who does Cheng Ning listen to the most, who is most afraid of, that is the old lady Cheng, this old lady is only more than seventy and half this year, not to mention, she is becoming more and more old naughty, she follows Granny Pang and the two of them all day long, pouring some wild vegetables, planting some melons and fruits, but in the face of this naughty great-granddaughter, she is still stern, even if it is the biggest demon king in the world, there must be someone who is afraid, right.

Sure enough, as soon as she heard the name of Mrs. Cheng, this wild horse immediately coaxed, picked up the chopsticks and rubbed the half-eaten buns in front of her, it seemed that she still didn't want to see Mrs. Cheng more than seeing the son of the Zhao family who had never heard of anything, so she bowed her head and said, "Okay then." ”

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the last time she went on a blind date, it was last year, this girl not only didn't want to say it, but also grabbed the wild pheasant in the backyard where Granny Pang was preparing the stewed soup, and shaved a Mediterranean Sea for others, but in the end the soup was not drunk, and the chicken was frightened, and the was all over the yard, and it was stinky.

Because of the lesson of the last time, this time, everyone was relieved and surprised that Cheng Ning was able to be surrendered so quickly, but in order to prevent this from being just this girl's delaying tactic, Cheng Dai and Cheng Yan, plus Cheng Yuan, but all those who know martial arts in the mansion are strictly guarded to all corners.

…

…

"I don't want to wear this, it's glamorous, it's ugly."

Cheng Ning rejected the skirt that Liang Zhu was holding in his hand, it was the most popular style in Shangjing, delicate but not cumbersome, very slim, especially this aqua green, the most lined Cheng Ning was ghostly, it can be seen that Liang Zhu was very careful to choose a skirt for her, but she didn't expect the girl to refuse without trying it on.

"This one looks good."

Shen Lu also said beside him: "You put it on and try it on." ”

Cheng Ning still shook his head, then pointed to the set next to him with a smile, and said, "I want to wear that." ”

"No man, no woman, no."

For this naughty daughter, Liang Zhu finally lost his patience, and said with a very serious expression: "Hurry up and put on this dress, and then comb your hair in a beautiful bun, let me tell you Cheng Ning, this is the hospitality that a big family should have, I don't care if you mess around on weekdays, on big days, you have to abide by the rules for me." ”

Liang Zhu is like this, even Cheng Qi next to him secretly sighed, this guy, with a straight face, really reminded her of the modern era, Dean Li of the orphanage, that is an impartial and selfless, but also a cold and ruthless, poor orphanage, what she planted in the hearts of those children is not warmth and kindness, but resilience and coldness against the cruel world, and these can make them lonely and helpless, in this unfair world, go further.

And Cheng Ning, who rarely saw his mother like this, hesitated for two seconds, then took the dress in his hand and looked at it, thinking that he was not so resistant, so he reluctantly put it on, and the effect of the upper body was better than the few people present imagined.

Cheng Ning wore this water-green skirt, which reminded Cheng Qi of four words, fresh after the rain.

"Alright."

Liang Zhu looked at it with satisfaction, looking at Cheng Ning's appearance, although this girl didn't say anything, her face was awkward, but she must be happy in her heart, she was always said that she was a tomboy and a tomboy, which made her embarrassed to wear a skirt, but a girl, isn't it normal to wear a skirt.

"The people of the Zhao family should have arrived, and the lord and lady of the Zhao family are here today, don't embarrass me." Liang Zhu said.

"I see."

Cheng Ning took a deep breath and muttered, "I'm obedient." ”

Shen Lu and Cheng Qi looked at each other and smiled, and the former said, "It's just today, come on." ”

"Daddy."

Cheng Qi also said.

It's just that the three of them didn't understand what this meant, Cheng Qi blinked awkwardly, scratched the middle of the person, and said, "...... This is...... Chinese. ”

…

…

"I heard that Miss Ning'er is a jubilant person, and when I see it today, she is really playful."

Mrs. Zhao smiled warmly.

Mrs. Cheng and Granny Pang went to dig wild vegetables again, the two of them were more than 160 years old, their legs and feet were good, Cheng Lan and Cheng Yan and others had lunch and went to work again, so there were only a few ladies in the family who met guests in the hall today.

Hearing this, Liang Zhu said with a smile: "Forget it, Mrs. has won the award, this girl in our family is the most difficult to discipline, since she was a child, Cheng Yuan and I broke our hearts, climbed up and down all day long, and were injured in three days, and had a headache." ”

The old man of the Zhao family laughed a few times when he heard Lang, to be honest, he really didn't care about Cheng Ning's like this, sure enough, people who were born in martial arts couldn't look at those legalistic Miss Jiao, so he didn't care and said indifferently: "It's a good thing for girls to be honest, what does it mean to be out of the door every day." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Qi smiled with satisfaction, glanced to the side, and sure enough, Cheng Ning was also a little surprised.

This Zhao family is a rare Qingliu family in Beijing, and has never disdained those who tend to be inflammatory, and insisted on going to the door to ask for their second brother, I heard that it was because these two people were at a banquet in Beijing, and they saw Cheng Ning, who won the horse race, and felt that this was the daughter-in-law they wanted.

Their purpose is very pure, they like Cheng Ning, not want to cling to the Cheng family, so today in front of Cheng Qi and others, they did not show the slightest flattery, and they exchanged their intentions generously, very calmly and chicly.

Cheng Ning had a good impression of them, so he didn't make any rude behavior, and secretly ate a fruit, which made Liang Zhu unhappy, but Mrs. Zhao next to her saw it and pushed the fruit plate over with a snicker, and the two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

Cheng Qi saw it, and said in his heart that this pair of future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is still quite fateful, Cheng Ning can marry into such a family, and he can spend his life happily, it is better than the family with cumbersome rules, and the mother-in-law loves Liwei very much, and she is angry everywhere and needs to be forbearant everywhere.

"By the way, why don't you see Second Brother Lan?"

Shen Lu looked at it and said, I came here today to marry his daughter-in-law, why is he, the most important actor, missing, and said funny: "But I heard about our family Ning'er's temperament, and before he entered the door, he was scared away?" ”

Everyone in the hall burst into laughter, and Cheng Ning blushed and said, "Auntie." ”

"How come, although our family Lan'er is a scholar, she won't be scared away." Mrs. Zhao smiled, "No, I heard that Miss Ning'er doesn't like gold, silver and jewelry, but likes horses, so he specially picked a Liuyun horse as a gift, and at this moment, he is fiddling with the horse at the door." ”

"So that's the case, our brother Lan is really careful."

Liang Zhu said with a smile, as if he had regarded the Zhao family and his wife opposite as in-laws, and Shen Lu and Cheng Qi laughed when they saw it.

Looking at Cheng Ning again, if she has a good impression of the Zhao family and his wife, she naturally has a lot of expectations for this little-known Zhao Lan, she has heard two sentences, this Zhao Lan is a prodigy, a poem at the age of three, and a poem at the age of five, but he is not arrogant or impatient, he is a gentleman, such a person, it doesn't hurt to meet him.

Besides, it's quite good at speculation.

Cheng Ning thought that if this Zhao Lan picked some tacky gold and silver to give, she really didn't want to see it, but this Zhao Lan was really a literati, and even a horse was unprecedentedly slow, she couldn't wait, got up and said, "Why don't you come yet, I'll go and see." ”

She wanted that Liuyun horse for a long time, but Liang Zhu didn't allow it, this time it finally became her own, she had to go and see, the man wanted to stop her, but she heard Mrs. Zhao say with a smile: "Girl, go and take a look, my son, I'm afraid he can't deal with such a big beast." ”

When Liang Zhu heard this, he covered his mouth and chuckled, and let Cheng Ning go.

The little girl looked back at them and couldn't wait to go down the steps, Sister-in-law Zhang laughed at her, but she glared at her sharply and said, "Look at the road!" ”

Cheng Ning was stunned, but when she turned around, she accidentally twisted her foot, sure enough, she was not used to wearing these embroidered shoes, she thought that she was going to fall in front of so many people, but she didn't want to be caught by one person steadily, it was a pair of very strong and warm arms, supporting her and raising her head, stunned.

It's a raw face.

It was a young man who was as warm as the bright moon on a spring night, and it was Zhao Lan.

。
