But She’s So Charming

Fu Shou Tang

Cheng Xi bowed to the old lady Cheng, and then said, "I wonder if my grandmother is looking for Xi'er so late, what's the matter?"

The old lady patted the bed first, and then stroked Cheng Xi to wave her hand: "Come on, come here."

As soon as Cheng Xi moved over, the old lady hugged her in her arms.

Speaking of which, Cheng Xi was hurt by the old lady's hands. The second room was like this. What she felt most distressed was the sister Xi in her arms and the brother Yun who couldn't even understand.

Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but blame the Yang family. No matter how big Erlang's mistake was, it was just a little bit romantic. Besides, the aunt had already dealt with it, so how could she have to make trouble and make sense.

She handed it a letter from her, telling sister Xi how to marry in the future, and brother Yun, how old is he, is it possible that she would be satisfied if she forced Erlang to marry a sequel?

However, I can’t blame the old lady for thinking like this, because Yang and Cheng Maozhi didn’t tell the truth about what the foreign lady had done. They did so because they were afraid that Cheng Xi’s situation would be too embarrassing. Even if the old lady is older, she can't stand the excitement anymore.

The old lady nodded and touched Cheng Xi's little hand, and sighed: "Your mother, is she still sick?"

Since Yang’s handing over the letter and leaving the book, he used to be seriously ill and never left the yard again. Even if the old lady asked someone to invite someone, Yang refused. This is also considered to be since Yang’s marriage to Cheng Guogong. , For the first time rebelled against the elders.

Cheng Xi lowered her head and gave a sorrowful hum.

The old lady's next words, before she reached her lips, her eyes reddened, "Sister Xi, please help grandma persuade your mother, let's not care about your father's body, but just say your brother, Yun Ge The child is so small, it is inseparable from the mother!" It is said that regardless of Cheng Maozhi's body, but Cheng Maozhi is getting thinner by the day, heavy bruises are floating in the eyes, it is strange that the old lady does not feel distressed.

Although Cheng Maozhi could not be called a good man, he was a good father. Whether it was Cheng Xi or Cheng Yun, he grew up riding on his neck.

The father of more than ten years is not for nothing.

In an instant, Cheng Xi's eyes reddened too.

The old lady rubbed her shoulders and choked with sobs: "I'm old, they have something now, so they can hide it from me, but I don't understand it. Your mother was fine before and promised to do this. Put it down and live your life, why suddenly... I look at your father's appearance now, as well as you and Yoon brother, my old lady feels uncomfortable panic in my heart!" She said, the old lady's tears fell.

Cheng Xi suddenly stiffened when she heard the old lady's words.

She couldn't help asking herself, yes, why did her mother still be willing to live a good life before and could say a few words with her father calmly, why suddenly she refused?

Could it be... because of her?

At this moment, the old lady spoke again: "Sister Xi, grandmother knows that the Ning boy has come to propose to your mother. Can you tell grandmother why you don't like him?" The old lady mentioned Cheng Xi's marriage at this time. This meaning couldn't be more obvious.

If Cheng Xi were to marry at this time, then the Yang family and Li would naturally not be possible.

Cheng Xi clenched her fists and whispered: "It's not unhappy."

After hearing this, the old lady continued: "Mrs. Ning Guohou and your eldest aunt are handkerchiefs. The Ning family’s child and grandmother have also met a few times. It’s very good. You shouldn’t want him, but because he had mentioned it to your grandmother. Dear?"

"No!" Cheng Xi said quickly.

The old lady also knew that this kind of thing in her daughter’s family was uncomfortable, so she thought about it for a while before she said: "Speaking of which, you have reached the age when you should talk about relatives. , Grandmother will help you plan.” Although the old lady wanted to use Cheng Xi's marriage to stop Erfang, she never meant to wrong Cheng Xi.

The blame is that the palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are full of meat, and a bowl of water is not level at all.

"Grandma! Xi'er has no such thoughts!" Cheng Xi blushed.

The old lady Cheng looked at Cheng Xi's panicked gaze, and she suddenly felt a trace of guilt in her heart. She wanted to talk several times, and at the end, she only said one sentence, that's it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

"Well, grandma just asks, if there is no, then there is no."

Cheng Xi came out of Mrs. Cheng's room. The night was thick, and the treetops were hunting and hunting in the freezing cold wind, giving birth to a trace of bleakness.

On the way back to the room, she happened to be passing through Maozhi's study.

There was a stand light in the study. Through the ice-cracked window, you could see Cheng Maozhi flipping through the scrolls at a glance. She stepped forward, buttoned the knocker, and shouted "Father."

In a blink of an eye, the person inside immediately put down the scroll and opened the door, "Xier, what's the matter?"

Cheng Xi looked at Cheng Maozhi's embarrassed appearance, and touched in her heart, "It's okay, I'll just see my father's light on, so I'll come and have a look." While speaking, Cheng Xi glanced in the study again.

There are a few books piled on the table, and a bedding is slanted on the armchair.

At this moment, Cheng Xi knew that this was how his father lived these days.

Cheng Xi stepped forward and quickly helped tidy it up twice, and then persuaded: "It's cold time right now, and the ground in this study is not burning well, so my father should just leave it alone."

Maybe the fathers in this world still have a face in front of their children. He looked at Cheng Xi's sensible appearance, and he wanted to stab himself in his heart, but he still held on to his face. He smiled and asked about Cheng Xi's recent homework, and then asked her how much she used for dinner.

Does anyone know that he really wants to ask those things that he dare not mention.

After Cheng Xi answered one by one, he respectfully said, his father paid attention to his body, and then he turned around.

When Cheng Maozhi looked at Cheng Xi's back, he suddenly felt a flow of heat rushing to his eyes.

This is... his most beloved daughter.

"Xier."

Cheng Maozhi shouted dumbly.

Cheng Xi paused and turned back slowly. She looked at the tall and stalwart father in her heart, and hurriedly walked around in front of her. Before she could even speak, she couldn't make a sound.

Until Cheng Xi closed her eyes at night, there was still the father's sentence in her ear, and it was Dad who was sorry for you.

Xi'er, it's all father's fault.

By the way, this is the second person to cry with her today.

The next morning, before Cheng Xi opened his eyes, he saw Brother Yun got into Cheng Xi's bed. Before he wiped off the saliva on his mouth, he shouted, "Sister, get up, sister, get up." "

Cheng Xi went to bed late last night, and she also had a problem that she didn't like to get up early, so she pushed Brother Yun a little irritably, "Mother, hurry up and take him away."

As soon as Cheng Xi closed his eyes, the big child, somehow, even cried with a "wow".

I kept yelling, my mother didn't want him, and my sister didn't want him.

After hearing these words, how could Cheng Xi still fall asleep, she sat up in a hurry.

All of a sudden, Brother Yun's heart-piercing cry, his father's apology, grandmother's scarlet eyes, and her mother who had been depressed all day, all appeared in front of Cheng Xi.

She suddenly thought, if there is no such thing as her, then none of this should be the case.

I don’t know which of the tendons is wrong, but I still want to open it completely. Cheng Xi suddenly went down to the ground and turned out a piece of letter paper decorated with peach blossoms, wrote a few words very quickly, and then handed it to Yin'er, "You Go and send this letterhead to Ningguohou's Mansion, and go quickly."

"Girl, this..."

"Don't ask, go now."

Looking at Yin'er's swiftly walking back, Cheng Xi gradually lost her consciousness, leaving only the word confession in her heart.

There were dark clouds on Cheng Xi's head, but there was a clear sky on Ning Ye's head.

He leaned against the square chair in the study, his eyebrows were full of smiles, and he whispered the four words in the lower right corner of the letter paper—Wish to marry you, and suddenly raised his peachy eyes and curled his lips with a smile, "Ten Nine, tell the eldest lady to ask her to go to the Chengguo Gongfu to propose marriage tomorrow."

——

Regarding this marriage, the second wife asked Cheng Xi countless times if she really wanted to marry. Cheng Xi played well, and her shameful replied appearance really brought out her daughter's family relationship.

But the second wife is not a vegetarian either. If she believes in such a big change in a moment, wouldn't it be so many years in vain?

Finally, under the strong pressure of the second wife, Cheng Xi finally blushed and said: "The elder said that if you marry me, you will never take a concubine anymore." However, this is naturally false. Cheng Xi and Ning Ye agreed. Yes, it's just that he won't accept concubines in the first year of marriage.

When Yang heard this, he couldn't help laughing. It turned out that it was because of this.

Cheng Xi got into Yang's arms and called two mothers greasy and crookedly. Yang chuckled and said earnestly: "If he can treat you well, then it would be better."

For a while, Cheng Xi raised his face and whispered: "Mother, will I affect my mother's remarriage?" After all, this was what Cheng Xi thought of this morning. After all, the daughter of the General's Palace, remarrying is not difficult.

Yang raised his hand and slapped Cheng Xi on the ass, "You **** girl, what do you call your mother want to remarry!"

"Then why does the mother want to reconcile with his father?" Cheng Xi blinked.

Yang smiled, did not tell the truth with Cheng Xi, but said: "It was my mother impulsive that day. Why is my mother willing to leave him because Yun is so young."

At this moment, Yang's thinking is very simple.

As long as her Xi'er can live well and Yoon's brother can live well, it doesn't matter whether she is alone or not.

In fact, as far as Yang's feelings for Cheng Maozhi are concerned, even if it is Heli, Yang has returned to the general's mansion to obey her parents. All her longing for life has long been wiped out by Cheng Maozhi.

After she had tasted the pain and happiness, joy and sorrow that this door brought to her, she finally understood that Cheng Maozhi was no longer the man who was willing to make hair for her.

When Brother Yun grows up and gets married, she will naturally write another letter to him, not for anything else, just because he can cross out his surname before her name, which is also good.

Now that the New Year's Eve is approaching, these few days are the time when the lanterns are in the capital. Most of the female relatives in the capital will travel on such days.

Therefore, the three sisters of the Cheng family also went to the street to join in the fun.

The capital is now full of lanterns, the streets are full of people, the carriages are endless, and Tang Wu deliberately took two more people with him when he went out.

Tang Wu knew that Yongyang Street must be very lively on such a day. He had made some psychological preparations, but when he got out of the carriage and witnessed the crowds, the cars are like flowing water, and the horses are like dragons, he was still shocked. NS.

The ladies on the street are really more dressy than usual. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are contending with each other.

Looking at it, there are fancy cuju, some swallowing swords and spitting fire, some drinking and guessing, and some bargaining, and the eyeballs of the people who look at it are simply not enough.

I have to say that the interests of the three Cheng sisters are really unified.

The three of them skipped the most lively tightrope juggling, and went to the stall selling food.

This shopkeeper’s method is really strange, other people’s homes made it out and then sold it. He just made a transparent gauze cover like a lampshade, and put it in front of the stall, making it and selling it now. The sugar silk is more expensive than the embroidery thread. Long, skillfully dazzling, people can't help but stop here when they look at it.

The shopkeeper yelled at Tang Wu: "It's delicious!" After finishing speaking, he made an exaggerated gesture.

Tang Wu smiled, quickly took out his money bag, and then shouted, "How many money?" But Tang Wu raised his voice not to imitate him, but to make a quiet voice, and could not hear anything at all.

The shopkeeper made a gesture of three.

Tang Wu paid the silver, bought three boxes of so-called "thousand-layer yarns", and then handed them to Cheng Xi and Cheng Xuan respectively.

Cheng Xi was happily beside her, until Tang Wu turned her head to ask her why she was smiling, she leaned in Tang Wu’s ear and said, “Before the eldest sister returned to the house, I went out with sister Xuan. I always paid for it. It's almost fifteen, only to realize that being a sister is so good!"

Tang Wu followed with a smile, and quickly said: "When I get home, I will settle the money with my brother. How can I let him pay for this money." Who isn't a sister anymore?

After buying sweets, the three sisters went to the women's favorite cloth shop.

The shopkeeper saw three beautiful women stepping through the door, and immediately got up to greet them, "Three girls, look inside!"

Tang Wu and the others watched, and the shopkeeper introduced, "This is the new Shu brocade, this is the jade crystal yarn from Yuguo, and this, this is the best material in our shop, Yun Shang Brocade, this Yun Shang Brocade It’s wonderful to say that the texture above can not only change its appearance in sunlight, but also has the effect of warming in winter and cooling in summer."

As soon as the shopkeeper's words fell, a clear and beautiful female voice came from behind the screen, "Treasurer, there is a lot of brocades in your store, how much I want!"

After hearing this, the three sisters frowned together.

Regardless of who is inside, there is absolutely no reason to grab things like this.

Tang Wu's temperament is not so competitive, so it was Cheng Xi who answered the conversation first, "The shopkeeper, I want this fabric too. You can make a price."

At the same time, there was another voice inside the screen, "Who is so ignorant." After speaking, the two men showed their faces from the screen.

These two people are An Jin and Xu Yingying.

The so-called love rivals are extremely jealous, this is really true. When An Jin saw Tang Wu behind the screen, he immediately raised his chin like a peacock on the screen.

Since An Jin heard that King Ying had personally sent the young lady back to the camp on the day of the hunt, he regarded Tang Wu as a serious concern.

Not to mention that Tang Wu's small face made her faintly uneasy. It was Tang Wu's identity and one of the few in the capital who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

Therefore, An Jin asked the old lady An to go to her Majesty to give her a marriage.

The old lady Ann didn't agree, but when she thought that King Ying had not only reconciled, and that one of her concubines had also passed away, she still gritted her teeth and agreed, and promised her to go to her Majesty to give her a marriage at the New Year's Eve palace dinner.

With the promise of the old lady An, An Jin took it for granted that he was the right choice for Princess Ying.

An Jin said, "Who am I supposed to be? I didn't expect it to be a few younger sisters of the Cheng family. If that's the case, I don't want this Yunshangjin."

Xu Yingying whispered from the side, "My sister is so kind."
