Chapter 58: Living Alone



Yan Cheng didn't know why, but his eldest brother's marriage suddenly appeared in his mind. When he was bored in his spare time, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of girl his future sister-in-law would be.

The emergence of this idea is naturally not without reason.

When the convoy entered a county town, they happened to encounter a wedding procession, and some people in the crowd were lucky enough to receive wedding candy.

The fiery red sedan chair was as bright and dazzling as the blazing sun and as beautiful as the bride.

The groom was riding a horse. Although he had an ordinary appearance, the red robe he wore gave him a more flamboyant temperament.

People often say that there are four great joys in life: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and being named on the list of successful candidates.

It’s hard to say whether I can meet the first two, but the last two seem to be right in front of me.

If nothing unexpected happens, Yan Zhuo should be named on the list of successful candidates next year.

So, will it be the wedding night next time?

Yan Cheng carefully calculated his eldest brother's age. He was already nineteen this year and would have his coming-of-age ceremony next year. His parents should be arranging a marriage for him soon, right?

In ancient times, the engagement process was extremely complicated, emphasizing "three books and six rituals", and each step was indispensable.

The so-called "three books" refer to the engagement letter used by the man when proposing to the woman, the gift letter used when giving the gift, and the welcoming letter used when welcoming the bride.

The "Six Rites" are Nacai, Wenming, Naji, Nazheng, Qingqi and Qinying.

This whole process is quite time-consuming.

The richer the family, the longer it takes.

Just like in the royal family, it takes at least a year for the princes to get married.

When the eldest prince got married, it took him more than a year from the time the decree was issued to the time he got married; the second prince took about a year and a half; and the third prince took even longer.

Yan Cheng thought that since his elder brother was not a prince, the marriage process should not be so long.

If the girl does not plan to keep her daughter at home for a while, given her father's eagerness to have a grandchild, he will most likely urge the eldest brother to get married quickly, and after getting married, he will urge him to have children quickly.

If my eldest brother were more efficient, maybe next year he would be able to happily hold his little nephew or niece in his arms.

Time flies so fast, Yan Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

If he hadn't inexplicably traveled to this world, he should be enjoying the wonderful life of early retirement at this time, right?

This time of traveling through time, I have to learn everything again.

Just thinking about it makes me feel sad.

In fact, after coming to this world for more than ten years, Yan Cheng has always been thinking about an extremely critical issue.

Did he die in his previous life?

If he died, he would have been naked while taking a shower in his luxurious 100-square-meter bathroom.

Whenever Yan Cheng thought about someone discovering his naked body and someone touching his naked body, he wanted to bite his handkerchief and cry bitterly.

This is too embarrassing.

Woo woo woo, his innocent life!

If he didn't die and his consciousness came to this world, then whose consciousness would be in his original body?

Could it be that he has a split consciousness?

The question of whether he is dead or not has troubled Yan Cheng for more than ten years.

Although he knew in his heart that the possibility of him being able to go back in time was almost zero, he often advised himself not to think about his previous life.

However, this kind of issue concerning moral integrity is not something that can be easily forgotten.

"Leng Yan, do you have someone you like?"

After encountering the wedding procession, Leng Yan and Yan Cheng suddenly heard this question when they first met.

Leng Yan was startled. He had just gotten on the carriage and was tidying up his slightly messy clothes. When he suddenly heard this question, he immediately looked up at Yan Cheng.

When his eyes first fell on the boy's face, his heart seemed to stop. At that moment, even he himself didn't know what was going on in his mind.

When he came to his senses, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he found that the young man was looking at him with a burning gaze, as if he was determined to get a definite answer no matter what.

Do you care so much?

"No," he replied, then asked, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"No!" The young man seemed a little disappointed, his cheeks puffing up slightly. "Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask and you didn't hear it."

It was like listening to a novel and hearing the key point, but the storyteller suddenly stopped. Leng Yan suddenly felt very uncomfortable: "I have already heard it, how can I pretend that I didn't hear it?"

"Okay, since you want to know, I'll tell you. I actually just wanted to ask if you want to get married. If you want to get married, you must marry someone you love. Since you don't have anyone you like, there's no need to ask any further."

Get married?

Leng Yan's heart skipped a beat and his fingers curled up unconsciously. His originally stern face softened a little, and he seemed to be very interested in this.

"Why are you asking me if I want to get married? Could it be that the master wants to get married?"

The boy didn't say anything, but instead looked at him with a strange look.

"What's wrong?"

Leng Yan felt very strange. This look made him feel uneasy. Did he say something wrong?

Unexpectedly, after hearing his question, the boy actually felt aggrieved and looked at him with a resentful look. Even though he thought he didn't say anything bad, Leng Yan couldn't help but blame himself for a moment.
