Jiao Luan

Chapter 58
Hearing Aunt Jiutang's question, Cheng Che's gaze sank and he looked at Cheng Wei.

Cheng smiled and said, "Second brother married, not me. As long as second brother likes it, I like it. If second brother doesn't like it, then I don't like it either."

With such an answer, the woman didn't know what to say, so she said awkwardly, "Miss Wei is really sensible."

Afterwards, the woman continued to talk to herself about Cheng Che's marriage. Cheng Wei watched coldly, and noticed that Cheng Che had frowned several times, so she gave Hsu a wink quietly.

Thrush was more flexible than Huanyan, she nodded slightly imperceptibly when she saw the situation, and retreated quietly while no one was paying attention, and turned back after a while.

After a while, Cheng Che's personal servant, Ba Jin, came to the door: "Young master, the second master is calling you over."

Cheng Che stood up: "Uncle Jiu, aunt, nephew—"

Cheng Jiubo hurriedly said: "Go and do your work, go and do your work, then your aunt and I will leave first."

When Cheng Jiubo's family of three had left, Cheng Che glanced at Ba Jin standing at the door, and looked at Cheng Wei: "Wei Wei, are you being naughty again?"

Cheng Wei raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.

After all, they are the biological parents of the second brother. What she said was ugly, and it might make the second brother unhappy, so it's better to bear with it.

"Okay, my second brother and I will have a few more sips of tea, you should step back first."

Cheng Wei dismissed all the servants who were serving in the room, and approached Cheng Che with a solemn expression: "Second Brother, I have a question to ask you."

"Tell me." Cheng Che sat down.

"Under what circumstances can a commoner become an official?"

"That's too much. For example, the second brother, before he passed the examination of the scholar, wasn't he a white body?"

Cheng Wei waved his hand: "It's not like the second brother. It's like——"

She moved the third uncle out: "For example, like the third uncle, or even older than the third uncle, and illiterate, and the family is poor, under what circumstances can he be an official?"

Cheng Wei deeply hated himself for his shallow knowledge, but fortunately in the little girl's heart, the second elder brother is omnipotent.

So I heard the second son of Cheng answer: "In the case of dreaming."

"Second brother!"

Cheng Che spread his hands: "Wei Wei, I heard you say these conditions, it's really just a dream."

"Who said, isn't our great-grandfather born in a Youfang doctor!" Cheng Wei said solemnly, "Second brother, I'm really curious, think about it carefully."

Cheng Che was reminded by Cheng Wei, thought for a moment and said: "If you look at the very few people, there are three most likely situations. One is to make a fortune and donate a sum of money to a small official without real power; It is someone who has special abilities like Gaozu, or happens to do something that the superiors like, and is regarded as a meritorious person. In order to show favor, the nobleman will arrange an errand according to the degree of merit; there is another kind, that is, the sons and daughters are promising and benefit their parents. , For example, it is customary in the dynasty that the empress's father should confer the title of Cheng Enbo."

After listening to Cheng Che's detailed explanation, Cheng Wei gradually understood, but in the past she didn't have a good impression of Cheng Jiubo's family, so she was naturally lazy to pay attention, but now she was asked to analyze which situation was more likely, but she couldn't start.

Cheng Wei had no choice but to make up his mind to pay more attention to Cheng Jiubo's family in the future.

"Why are you asking such a strange question?"

Cheng Wei thought for a while, and decided to reveal something to his second brother: "I just had a very strange dream that day. I dreamed that Uncle Jiu became an official, so I always felt strange."

Cheng Che laughed: "No wonder you kept staring at Uncle Jiu today. I thought something was wrong. This dream is really strange, but it is a good thing that Uncle Jiu can really become an official. Why do I feel that Sanmei is a little unhappy? Woolen cloth?"

Cheng Wei curled his lips: "It's not a good thing. If Uncle Jiutang becomes an official, what if the second elder brother wants to go back? I remember my nanny said when I was a child that Uncle Jiu's family would not be able to eat. Gradually getting better. Maybe that's why I adopted my second elder brother under my mother's name. If Uncle Jiutang really becomes an official, he might regret it!"

"If you think too much, how could they regret it?" Cheng Che said flatly.

"What did the second brother say?"

Cheng Che chuckled: "Let me tell you, you are only a young man, and you think about what to do all day long. Don't say it's impossible. Even if Uncle Jiu really regrets it, there's no reason for the adopted child to go back."

When he said this, his voice was calm and his expression was calm, but Cheng Wei inexplicably heard a bit of sad self-deprecation.

She stretched out her hand to hold Cheng Che's hand, lowered her eyes and sighed: "Other families don't know how to do it, but our family doesn't have to."

Other people's family adopted, that means no child, but in her family, the father already has two sons who are eyeing him. I'm afraid he can't wait to return the second brother back!

"Even if that's the case, to the second brother, the closest sister is still Wei Wei, silly girl, you should feel at ease now, right?"

Cheng Wei's heart was full of doubts and worries about the future, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she smiled lightly and nodded slightly.

After finally surviving the first day of the Lunar New Year, Cheng Wei returned to Feixu Residence, took off her shoes and socks, and found that the wound on the sole of her right foot was getting worse, so she hurriedly took the best ointment and applied it, and simply washed her face After a while, he lay down on the bed.

As soon as she lay down, she suddenly felt that the pillow was a bit high, she sat up frowning, and removed the pillow, and found a square wooden box underneath, tied with a beautiful bow with a red ribbon.

"What is this?" Cheng Wei glanced at Huanyan.

Huanyan shook her head blankly.

She looked at the thrush again.

Huamei smiled and said, "My servant doesn't know either. I saw it when I was tidying up the mattress. I didn't dare to move it for fear of damaging the girl's things."

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Cheng Wei said, stretched out his hand to pull the bow away, and opened the box.

"Ah, so beautiful, so interesting!" Thrush exclaimed.

There are 36 grids in the box, and each grid has a wooden figure, each of which is only the size of an adult's index finger, but with complete facial features and lifelike features, and even the facial expressions of the characters and the wrinkles on the clothes are clearly visible, which shows that it took a lot of effort of.

Cheng Wei stretched out his hand, slid his fingertips over the puppets one by one, and murmured, "These are all characters from "Strange Tales"!"

"An Interesting Tale of Different Stories" is a book that has been in the bookstore for a long time. It has been circulated for many years. She has flipped it thoroughly, but she has never seen a puppet related to it on the market.

No need to think about it, it must have been carved by the second brother himself, and it was a New Year's gift for her.

Cheng Wei couldn't help the corners of his lips fluttering, and looked at each puppet carefully before closing the box and putting it away properly.

This night, strange and bizarre dreams were intertwined. When Cheng Wei woke up, he felt exhausted, but he couldn't remember what he had dreamed about.

She dressed up and went to Han Shi's place early, and said directly to Han Shi: "Mother, I don't want to go with Second Sister today."

"Why?" Han's temples were throbbing. Could it be that the second daughter of Xindao has fallen ill again?

"The second sister knew that Cousin Zhi liked her and didn't like me, but she encouraged me to tell Cousin Zhi. In the end, I was completely ashamed. When I enter the palace this time, I'm afraid there will be something she knows that I don't. Make me do something embarrassing again."
