However, to Chen Ning's surprise......

Cheng Qinghe suddenly laughed. This smile is not stereotyped, nor is it a mask-like smirk, but a smile that comes from the heart. His eyes sparkled in the light of the candles.

"But I met her."

Chen Ning was stunned, he rarely saw his cousin smile like this, the last time, it seemed to be because of ...... Sheng Qingqing?

Wait, that's not right!

The person my cousin is mentioning now must be the person he just said, the person he admires, so it is understandable for him to laugh like this. But why did he have such a gentle moment when facing Sheng Qingqing before?

Chen Ning suddenly felt terrified of thinking about it.

Cheng Qinghe ignored the change in his expression, he seemed to have completely fallen into his memory, and continued to talk to himself.

"She appeared suddenly, and she was ...... on her body" Speaking of this, Cheng Qinghe was silent for a moment, as if omitting some things, and then continued: "She comforted me very gently, and made me something to eat, the taste of the food is really good, I have never eaten such a good taste of food." ”

Maybe it's because of hunger. When people are hungry, even if it is just a white steamed bun, they can eat it and devour it.

Chen Ning secretly slandered himself, but said: "It seems that she is a very virtuous girl." ”

Cheng Qinghe's expression was extremely soft, he nodded lightly, and his smile was even a little shy.

Chen Ning felt that he might be a little frightened, and couldn't help but swallow his throat.

"Ahem, what about later?" He couldn't wait to change the topic, although Cheng Qinghe's expression was soft, it was really terrifying in his opinion.

Of course, Chen Ning was also a little curious, "Didn't my cousin bring that girl back?" ”

He has been in the Cheng family for so long, and he really hasn't seen Cheng Qinghe who is particularly close to any girl in the house. Even if those women are as beautiful as fairies, he has never pretended to be like gold. Over the years, Chen Ning has also met a Sheng Qingqing and has a better relationship with his cousin.

It stands to reason that this should not be. Just looking at Cheng Qinghe's attitude, you can know that he has a very good impression of that girl. With the wealth of the Cheng family, even if it was in the hands of Steward Cheng back then, Cheng Qinghe should be able to bring that girl back.

The Cheng family is not short of that bite to eat, and even Steward Cheng should wish there was someone who could make Cheng Qinghe worry and become Cheng Qinghe's constraint.

But Chen Ning is very sure that there is absolutely no such person in the Cheng family now.

Looking at my cousin's current attitude of reminiscence, is it ......

Chen Ning had a bad premonition in his heart.

Isn't that girl dying young?

"What are you thinking?" Cheng Qinghe asked suddenly.

Chen Ning coughed dryly, but didn't dare to say what was in his heart. If the girl had really passed away, wouldn't he have poked Cheng Qinghe's sadness when he said it so bluntly?

Cheng Qinghe sneered, "Put away those thoughts in your head, she's very good." ”

Chen Ning: "...... "Then what are you doing with a regretful attitude?!

"I want to bring her back too." Cheng Qinghe sighed lightly and said, "But she doesn't want to." ”

He depicted the situation at that time in detail, and Chen Ning also imagined from his dictation, an old picture gradually appeared in front of him.

"Seems to be a very insightful girl." Chen Ning said with emotion.

Cheng Qinghe was not yet ten years old, because he couldn't go out in Cheng's house all the year round, he even looked a little stupid, and because he had been running around in the mountains and forests for two days, his clothes were ragged and gray-faced, and he was almost like a savage. The girl didn't dislike it at all, not only roasted a rabbit in the mountains and forests for Cheng Qinghe to eat, but also comforted him.

"This is the toy she gave me when she comforted me." When Cheng Qinghe said this, a hint of sweetness appeared on his face. Those in the know understand that it is just a toy, and those who do not know think that the girl gave him a token of love.

Chen Ning was used to seeing it, but he didn't react much at this time, and asked curiously what that thing was.

"What is it?" Chen Ning couldn't help but lean over, "With the Cheng family's financial resources, my cousin should have seen all the treasures, could it be those ordinary children's toys?" ”

If the toys of the children in the countryside are a little new to the children of these large families.

However, Cheng Qinghe shook his head.

"No, it's amazing."

He didn't hide his secrets, on the contrary, Cheng Qinghe even took out a small bag from the hidden pocket on his chest with a slight sigh.

The expensive silk thread used in the small bag is repaired, the embroidery is excellent, and the small one is no more than the size of an adult's palm, and it looks very delicate in Cheng Qinghe's palm at this time.

Chen Ning became more and more curious, this bag was so small, and only a small piece in the middle was bulging, looking round, like a pearl. But it can't be pearls, right? With Cheng Qinghe's worth, even the most precious Dongzhu is thrown into the warehouse at will, where can he cherish it so much.

Cheng Qinghe didn't sell it, he directly opened the bag and poured out the contents of it.

Chen Ning couldn't help but lean over, wanting to take a closer look.

What was poured out was indeed a round bead.

However, it is completely different from ordinary beads.

"Transparent?!" Chen Ning was very surprised.

Nowadays, the only thing that can be transparent is crystal.

"Is it a crystal?"

But without waiting for Cheng Qinghe to answer, he denied it himself.

"No, it's not crystal." Chen Ning shook his head affirmatively.

In these years, crystals are much more precious than jade, firstly, there are not many crystal mines, and secondly, crystals are not easy to process, and it is very difficult to make such a round spherical shape.

But none of that was the reason for him to decide that it wasn't a crystal.

The real reason is......

"The crystal isn't so transparent!"

I don't know what kind of material this thing is made of, but it is completely transparent. When placed in Cheng Qinghe's palm, Cheng Qinghe's palm print can be clearly seen from above.

"And the texture inside is ......"

Chen Ning looked at it carefully.

At this time, the light in the room was not very bright, Cheng Qinghe's hand was placed under the table, and in the dim shadows, the lines in the small ball actually began to faintly open!

Cheng Qinghe chuckled lightly and said with a little smugness: "She told me that there are thousands of stars inside. She thought my eyes were like stars, so she gave me a star. ”

Chen Ning really couldn't help it this time, and couldn't help but hold his two arms and rub them, feeling goosebumps all over his body.

One dares to speak, the other dares to listen, it is a perfect match.

The most important thing is that Cheng Qinghe is now going to say in front of him that he really provoked someone!

Cheng Qinghe was obsessed with showing off, and in contrast, Chen Ning was more curious about this so-called "star".

"What the hell is this?"

Cheng Qinghe shook his head, "I don't know what this thing is, but I know it's unparalleled in the world." ”

Chen Ning agreed this time.

Their Cheng family used to be a big family, and it has been passed down for several generations, and it can be regarded as a family, and they have never seen any treasures. But he had never seen anything so magical.

Can you set the stars in it? This is truly unparalleled.

Cheng Qinghe touched the ball cherishedly, carefully put it back into the bag, and finally hid it very preciously.

After Chen Ning saw such a magical treasure, he was really more and more curious about the girl who saved his cousin. Why would a girl who can give away this kind of treasure appear alone in the wilderness of the Baili Mountains?

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Ning couldn't help but ask, "Does my cousin know what happened to that girl?" ”

Listening to Cheng Qinghe's meaning, the girl was unwilling to follow him back to Cheng's house, so they should have parted ways from the mountains and forests. But I haven't heard my cousin mention it for so many years, could it be that girl really suffered an accident?

But a girl with such a generous shot must have an extraordinary net worth, so what can make her encounter accidents?

The more Chen Ning thought about it, the more curious he became, but he didn't dare to ask too directly, so he could only beat the side drum like this.

Cheng Qinghe was not at all what Chen Ning imagined, he didn't even hesitate at all, and smiled directly: "She is naturally good, I have already found her!" ”

The tone was very uplifting, not at all reluctant, and it was obvious that he was telling the truth.

Chen Ning was shocked and pleasantly surprised, "Really?!" Congratulations to my cousin! ”

Cheng Qinghe smiled very reservedly, but the "sneering" in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Chen Ning was not in the mood to care about Cheng Qinghe's show-off at this time, he was really curious about the girl, and asked repeatedly: "Where is that girl from?" Is my cousin prepared? When am I going to have a cousin-in-law? ”

In his opinion, Cheng Qinghe undoubtedly liked that girl very much. And now that the Cheng family is all in the hands of Cheng Qinghe, if he wants to ask to marry that girl, he can be regarded as confident. Coupled with the cousin's personable demeanor and talent, the probability of success in marrying should be extremely high!

Cheng Qinghe faced his only relative, he didn't hide it at all, smiled meaningfully, and said meaningfully: "It's in my urn, it's almost ......."

Chen Ning felt that his cousin's words seemed to be a bit problematic.

It seems that the induction of the king into the urn cannot be used here.

But he still understands what Cheng Qinghe means. It seems that the cousin-in-law is about to have one, and it is only a matter of time.

Although Chen Ning felt a little strange, he didn't know when Cheng Qinghe made the arrangement, after all, most of the things that the Cheng family couldn't do on the bright side were explained to him. But since Cheng Qinghe said so, it must indeed be nine out of ten.

It can't be said that it was quietly arranged in private, after all, it is to pursue a girl, and it can't be entrusted to others.

Chen Ning thought like this in his heart, and he was also very happy for his cousin. Because of that incident, their Cheng family is now only left with two of their direct descendants. His face has become like this now, and he has a little less thought about becoming his own son, but if he has a cousin-in-law, then they can continue to pass it on!
