"Coming back?"

Cheng Yuguan stood at the gate of the city, looking at the third brother who returned to Beijing from the northern part of Bingzhou for the New Year, with a faint smile on his face, and greeted softly.

Cheng Lang, who was dressed in black, turned over from his horse a long time ago, took two quick steps, and came to Cheng Yuguan.

The originally immature face, which was infected by the wind and frost at this time, had a trace of perseverance.

is no longer a boy who looks at a glance, but has become a man with shoulders and responsibility.

Cheng Yuguan's gaze couldn't help but see from Cheng Lang's rough and shiny skin, his rough and dry hair that was a little split ends, as well as his casually tied hairstyle, with the unique roughness of a northern man.

His eyes were on the braids and broad shoulders on the top of Cheng Lang's head, and the cloud shoulders on the big coat swept over, and Cheng Yuguan's face unconsciously brought a smile.

"Someone? Have you brought it back to me to see. ”

As soon as Cheng Yuguan spoke, he saw Cheng Lang, who was originally rough and manly, and an embarrassed expression suddenly appeared on his face.

I saw Cheng Lang scratching his head, muttering for a moment, and before he could speak, a sturdy and delicate girl flashed out of the team behind Cheng Lang.

Her hair was tied up at the back of her head and adorned with only a ruby pendant.

But she is more and more bright and compelling.

The girl's gaze, as if with light, looked at Cheng Yuguan burningly.

The girl neatly turned over and dismounted and came to Cheng Lang's side.

Together with Cheng Lang, he looked at Cheng Yuguan side by side.

"The third brother is a downright man, but he is very thin-skinned."

"He used to say that you were the most important person to him, closer than his parents."

"He respects you so much, and I will come back to you with him."

"I didn't expect you to be like this. It's not at all like I imagined. ”

Cheng Yuguan didn't look at Cheng Lang's somewhat nervous expression, but looked at the woman calmly.

"How is it different?"

The woman paused.

"In his mouth, you are stern and generous, but wise but not shrewd. Insight into people's hearts, but not mean. ”

"When he said this, I thought you should be good at it. Otherwise, why did the third brother say so many words, but none of them said that you are handsome and compelling. ”

"It's not easy to look at?!"

The woman said directly, and the shocked Cheng Lang hurriedly grabbed the woman, and quickly shook his head and looked at Cheng Yuguan.

"Little sister, don't listen to her nonsense. Born in the Northland, you know, the Hu people speak, they are not taboo, and they are very direct, what do they say. ”

Cheng Lang pulled the woman.

She didn't mean anything else. I just think you're good-looking. ”

"She's never been worried about me coming into contact with pretty women."

In the end, Cheng Lang smiled a little bitterly.

Cheng Yuguan saw Cheng Lang holding the woman's arm, and the two of them had tacit and natural contact, and he knew it in his heart.

As people get older, their vigilance grows. Therefore, the contact between people is sensitive and has an aura.

Cheng Lang can have such a natural contact with a woman, it must be that the relationship is good to a certain extent, and after getting along for a long time, there will be such a tacit understanding.

Seeing this, Cheng Yuguan looked at Cheng Lang in front of him and smiled.

"The third brother has grown up, and it is time to start a family."

As he spoke, Cheng Yuguan looked at the woman.

"I haven't asked yet, your name."

"Wu Xiangxiang!"

The woman said proudly, with her chin held high.

Cheng Lang explained on the side.

"Xiangxiang's family is from the Hu people, but several generations of Sinicization marriages are already mostly Han blood. Moreover, the Xiangxiang family is famous for their Yongwu family in the north, so they take the word "Wu" as their Han surname. ”

Cheng Lang talked about the Wu Xiangxiang family and the origin of her name.

Cheng Yuguan listened and nodded.

Towards Wu Xiangxiang.

"Welcome Miss Wu to Cheng's house in the capital. This side please. ”

Cheng Yuguan stretched out his hand and invited neatly.

Seeing that Cheng Yuguan was so neat, Wu Xiangxiang didn't mean to interrogate a few more words, but just sincerely invited and paused for a moment.

After a while, he came back from his stunned stupor and spoke with a smile.

The smile was bright as sunshine.

"No wonder the third prince always says hello. I said a few words to you, and I was attracted from your appearance to your personality. ”

"A Han girl like you must be very popular in the capital, right? Is there a man as good as the third son who pursues you? You have to keep your eyes open and put yourself to the test. After all, it is a lifelong event for a girl to choose a good person. You are not like me, you are a willful woman, like you with a gentle temperament, you can't find a man, but you will be bullied! ”

Xu Wu Xiangxiang's temperament is also very straight.

Seeing Cheng Yuguan, he didn't interrogate more, just looking at her as a person, he agreed with her.

Suddenly became close to Cheng Yuguan in his heart.

thinks she has a good vision and can recognize her own goodness, then she must also be a good person.

Therefore, he is familiar with Cheng Yuguan and has a heart-to-heart.

Cheng Lang held his forehead, and Liuyun behind Cheng Yuguan looked at Cheng Lang with a smile at this time, and then looked at Wu Xiangxiang.

"Didn't the third prince tell Miss Wu? Our young lady has already made a marriage contract with the four princes of the dynasty. has been married this year, and now, it is the fourth princess. ”

Cheng Lang smiled helplessly.

"Xiangxiang hasn't been out of Bingzhou since she was a child, so I didn't tell her much. When she gets home, she'll naturally know. ”

As he spoke, Cheng Lang looked at Wu Xiangxiang.

Cheng Lang is tall and strong, even taller than ordinary Hu people.

Wu Xiangxiang is tall and tall, and she is very harmonious by Cheng Lang's side.

At this time, Cheng Lang bowed his head slightly, Wu Xiangxiang looked up at Cheng Lang in surprise, the two looked at each other, and Cheng Lang began to introduce everyone in the family from Cheng Yuguan.

"Your Cheng family, aren't you a local wealthy family in Bingzhou? When was it so prominent in the capital? That's the Four Princes! ”

Obviously, Li Mian's former parallel trip to the state allowed him to take root in the hearts of the Hu people in the north, like a god-like and noble image.

At this time, Wu Xiangxiang was shocked in her heart, as if she knew that Cheng Lang, a down-and-out aristocratic child, was actually a member of the Cheng family.

Shocked by the life experience of Cheng Lang and his family again and again, Wu Xiangxiang only felt that she was now a little psychedelic and psychedelic.

She, unexpectedly, is with Li Mian, the fourth prince of the son of the gods, the princess, and the third brother? !

"Hey, where are you going?"

Wu Xiangxiang seemed to think of something, and turned around to leave.

was pulled by Cheng Lang.

Wu Xiangxiang was so anxious that she even stuttered a little.

"My brother! At my house, I want to go and tell Bayi to hurry up and go to Xin'er's house, so that they can enter Beijing as soon as possible. ”

Speaking of which, Wu Xiangxiang's mouth smoothed a lot, glanced at Cheng Yuguan, and said eagerly.

"You should have told me in advance!"

"Your little sister is actually the concubine of the son of the gods! If I had known earlier, I would definitely have asked my father and eldest brother to come forward and enter Beijing together, so it would not be rude! ”

Samurai are not snobs.

However, the fourth prince Li Mian's great momentum in Beidi made the martial family unable to treat him as an ordinary in-law.

Wu Xiangxiang was so anxious that she jumped to her feet, and Cheng Lang stopped the person with a smile.

"If you come, you will be safe. I'm going to rush 600 miles to help you deliver the letter. You don't have to rush now. ”

The Cheng family is not only an official, but also has shops in various places as contact points, and the traffic arteries have long been opened, so it is naturally convenient to send a letter.

Seeing Cheng Lang like this, Wu Xiangxiang finally believed that he and his "little sister" Cheng Yuguan were really close.

That's why I'm so calm.

After settling down, Wu Xiangxiang faced Cheng Yuguan again.

"You are the "little sister" of the third son, and in the future, you will also be my little sister. I will respect you as a princess, and I will love you as a little sister. If there's anything about me that makes you feel uncomfortable, just tell me. I'm not afraid to be direct. ”

Seeing Wu Xiangxiang calm down from the huge panic, Cheng Yu was concerned and calm.

With a hint of a smile, he looked at Wu Xiangxiang.

"It's a long time coming."

"Hmm."

Wu Xiangxiang nodded.

In her heart, the already beautiful image of the "little sister" suddenly added a trace of aura.

"It is worthy of being the fourth princess, and her words are gentle."

Cheng Yuguan didn't know that Wu Xiangxiang had a deep heart, and his impression of himself had changed, so he turned around and got on the horse, and took the third brother and Wu Xiangxiang home.

…

"The capital is really lively!"

Wu Xiangxiang quickly regained her brightness, looking at the vendors and pedestrians on both sides of the road, looking full of interest.

She pointed to the New Year's goods on the side of the road and talked to Cheng Yuguan about her parents.

"In our family, in a town, there are only one or two big shops that sell these New Year's goods, and they are very expensive, not something that ordinary people can afford. Among them, there is the Cheng family's shop, which is selling New Year's goods. A pair of lanterns will cost a lamb! ”

Cheng Yuguan listened, didn't say anything, just nodded with a smile.

The pricing of Cheng's shop is adapted to local conditions.

Like the bitter cold in Bingzhou, prices will naturally be inflated, and the people who can afford to buy in Bingzhou are rich in wealth, and they don't care about this star.

Looking at Cheng Yuguan's gentle and honest face, I am afraid no one would have thought that the Cheng family's business would be such a "black heart".

Cheng Lang, the shopkeeper and the principal, is naturally more clear.

was said by Wu Xiangxiang to be expensive in person, Cheng Lang was not as weak as before, but vaguely passed by four or two pounds.

"It's bitterly cold and the road is long. It is not easy to transport goods naturally, and the price is inflated. ”

explained, Cheng Lang took the opportunity to change the topic.

"At the dinner, the four princes said that they couldn't get out of official business, and they would come to pick up the little sister and go home. When the time comes, you may have to eat at the same table as your "son of the gods". ”

Cheng Lang's words really made Wu Xiangxiang no longer have idleness, and when she talked about the matter of "profiteers", she became distressed again.

"How's that for good? I came to the capital and didn't bring my family's big dress. How can I see a nobleman? ”

Wu Xiangxiang was entangled with herself, Cheng Lang looked at her with a smile for a moment, then turned to look at Cheng Yuguan and explained for Wu Xiangxiang.

"Xiangxiang's family is prosperous, and there is only one set of dresses, which was passed down to her by her grandmother. In the ancestral hall at home, it is not easy to put on and take off. ”

Cheng Yuguan heard this and nodded.

"You don't have to be formal."

Cheng Lang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"The Northland Hu family takes these etiquettes very seriously. It's like worshipping the sky, you must wear a big dress. The same is true when you see the nobles. But it doesn't matter, when she arrives at home and sees that the atmosphere at home is comfortable and comfortable, she will naturally adapt to relaxing. ”

The two of them returned to Cheng Mansion with a nervous look on their faces.

"This is Banpo Hall, you can live here during your time in the capital."

Cheng Yuguan didn't look obvious on his face, but he had an unexpected love for Wu Xiangxiang.

On weekdays, the doors of Banpo Hall are closed. Don't let people in and disturb you easily.

Today, Cheng Yuguan took the initiative to bring Wu Xiangxiang, who had just arrived and came over as a guest, to come in and let her live here.

Among them. It's hard to say that there is no love for the third brother.

Wu Xiangxiang obviously didn't know the status of Banpotang in the Cheng family.

She just thinks she's lucky.

When I came to Cheng's house, everyone was friendly.

Cheng Lang watched his little sister settle Wu Xiangxiang like this, and naturally knew it in his heart.

Although there is no opinion in the family, the family can accept Wu Xiangxiang so quickly, and naturally the attitude of the little sister is indispensable.

Others don't say it, the two sisters-in-law see that the little sister loves Xiangxiang so much, and they also want to see her face and entertain Xiangxiang wholeheartedly.

Cheng Lang, who went out to practice, naturally saw the height of these eyebrows and eyes more clearly.

Therefore, he especially understands how powerful and excellent his little sister is, so that she can overcome the obstacles of identity, family, and generation, and live as she wants.

Anyway, he already recognized that before he was forty years old, he was not as powerful as his little sister when she was a teenager.

"Thank you, little sister."

Coldly, Cheng Lang, who was walking in the school field of Banpo Hall, said to Cheng Yuguan, who had settled down Wu Xiangxiang beside him.

"Hmm."

Cheng Yuguan said "um" smoothly.

seems to be not surprised by Cheng Lang's words, and accepts it without any heart.

Cheng Lang was surprised by Cheng Yuguan's natural voice, and after a while, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"Does the fourth prince know that you are so "cheeky"? ”

Cheng Lang laughed at Cheng Yuguan.

The two of them have never known each other since they could walk, so they naturally know who each other is.

The little sister became more and more powerful, so quiet that Cheng Lang almost went inside, the little sister is such a proud and strong little girl.

Thinking of the stubborn little girl who couldn't hold on at the beginning, but had to help her help with her steps, Cheng Lang's eyes softened even more.

She is not the cold-hearted family member who doesn't let herself come back, but the little sister who always thinks about herself and is good for herself!

"It's hard, isn't it?"

Cheng Lang said suddenly.

"And my unconscious third brother, dragging you back."

Thinking of the past six months, only one branch in the north of the state has made me anxious for half a year.

Cheng Lang felt even more sorry for her little sister, from morning to night, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, Cheng Ji was thriving and organized.

The more Cheng Lang thought about it, the more emotional he became, the nine-foot man, his eyes were soft and he wanted to lower his eyes, looking at Cheng Yuguan's self-caring back.

At this time, Cheng Yuguan waved his hand in front.

"Don't think that if you say a few meaty words, I will be able to let you go."

"Take Xiangxiang to play in the capital for two days, and after that, I will come to Chengji to report."

"I've heard that you're very good at transferring goods in the Northland. At the beginning of the year, the transfer of goods from various departments of the cadres will be handed over to you. ”

"Don't, little sister!"

The warmth was shattered in an instant, Cheng Lang thought of the complicated matter of transferring goods to the point of headache, and couldn't help but wail that the little sister let herself go.

Cheng Yuguan, who was walking in front, turned up the corners of his mouth.

Thanks to Shiso 00 for the monthly pass.
