Chapter 85 Chapter 85 Young Master, the Patriarch is not in a position to see you right now...

Lu Xusheng returned to Ningji Hall carrying this rare treasure. It was already the first quarter of the night. At this time last night, Cheng Yian had already fallen asleep. Tonight, the main room of Ningji Hall was brightly lit. The maid saw him coming from afar, informed the inside, and quickly opened the curtain for him. Lu Xusheng entered holding the brocade box.

Nanny Li and several maids were still serving at an eight-person table. Cheng Yian sat in the hostess's seat, yawning. When she saw him coming back, she glared at him, "You're finally back. Have you had dinner yet?"

Lu Xusheng had indeed not used it yet. He put the gift box aside and sat down to eat. "Have you eaten yet?"

Cheng Yian covered her belly, "Can I wait for you while I'm pregnant?"

Lu Xusheng nodded.

While he was eating, Cheng Yian glanced at the brocade box and asked, "What did you bring back?"

"See for yourself."

Cheng Yian didn't move. Rulan had already told her about the gift box. Cheng Yian guessed that Lu Xusheng had gone to look for Fan Yulin.

In her previous life, the pair of porcelain cups were given to her by Fan Yulin as a betrothal gift. She treasured them very much at the time, and kept them in her storehouse in Yizhou until her rebirth.

In the room.

Unexpectedly, in this life, Fan Yulin sent it to Lu's house. Cheng Yian was not sure whether Lu Xusheng took back the pair of porcelain cups, so he did not plan to move.

Seeing that she didn't move, Lu Xusheng ate faster. After eating, he helped her back to the east room. The two drank tea at a separate table. Cheng Yian asked him, "Did you go to look for Fan Yulin?"

"Hit him again?"

Lu Xusheng looked at her steadily and said, "I slapped him back."

Cheng Yian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed his belly and laughed, "I almost forgot about him. Let's put the past behind us, okay?"

Maybe this is the ups and downs of life. There is no point in always holding on to things.

Everything in the past life is like a passing cloud, let it go.

"We are doing well now. Don't let an irrelevant person ruin your good mood."

Lu Xusheng was silent for a long time and then said "OK".

Seeing that the gift from Huan Gu was not brought in, Lu Xusheng got up and went outside, brought it in again, placed it in front of Cheng Yian, opened it casually, turned around and pushed it towards Cheng Yian.

"Yian, this is a birthday gift for you." Then pay attention to her reaction.

Cheng Yian was blinded by the bright yellow brocade at first sight. When he was sure that it was not Fan Yulin's couple, Cheng Yian became more serious. He took a closer look and saw five exquisitely crafted porcelain cups neatly placed in the bright yellow satin. Cheng Yian could not help but reach out and touch them. The porcelain cups felt smooth and delicate, just like ice and jade, making people love them.

"Where did you get this..."

Seeing her staring at him, Lu Xusheng felt very relieved. All his efforts were not in vain.

"I came here by chance from the palace."

Cheng Yian knew too well the weight of these five porcelain cups and asked in surprise, "Did His Majesty not chop you off?"

"That can't be possible."

Cheng Yian stared at the five treasures with great joy, and took them over to examine them carefully. Later, he couldn't bear it anymore and took them one by one to play with, "Are they really mine?"

Lu Xusheng loved to watch that silly look.

"Of course."

Cheng Yian was still dreaming, "Your Majesty, will you not let me take a look and then take it back?"

Lu Xusheng was speechless and said, "Even if he goes back on his word, I can't let him have his way, right?"

Cheng Yi was happy, grinning, his eyes wandering over the five porcelain dolls, "Lu Xusheng, do you know what this is? This is the pinnacle of the competition!"

Who could have the ability to rebuild them again and again regardless of the cost? Only the last emperor had an unparalleled aesthetic sense. Look at these five porcelain dolls. The color selection can be described as steady and sophisticated, forming a sharp contrast between the elegance and calmness of blue and white and the gorgeous colors. Each frame is an ultimate visual enjoyment.

It's a pity that although his skills reached the pinnacle, he ruined an entire generation.

After playing with it for a while, Cheng Yian was worried that he might fall, so he told Ruhui to put it carefully into the inner room. When he went to bed, he couldn't help but hugged Lu Xusheng and kissed him hard twice.

"You like it so much?"

"like."

"I want to keep it as a family heirloom and give it to my son as a betrothal gift and my daughter as a dowry." Cheng Yian said incoherently.

Lu Xusheng's eyes narrowed, "This is yours, no one can give it to you."

"That's right, that's right. Then he will be buried with the two of us a hundred years from now."

Lu Xusheng noticed that the girl was so happy that she was a little out of tune. He pinched her cheek and said, "Why are you talking nonsense?"

He found Cheng Yian easy to coax.

If he brought her a roasted goose when he left the government office, she would praise him for days. No matter what was given to her, she never rejected it.

"Just tell me what you like. As long as it exists in this world, there is nothing that your man can't get."

Cheng Yian loved hearing this and gave him another kiss.

Cheng Yian found that Lu Xusheng was also easy to coax.

Even though this man was very successful and influential in the outside world, his thoughts towards women were simple. For example, several times, when he bought food for her, he hoped that she would praise it for being delicious, and even secretly compared it with the Cheng family. He would not be happy until he got a satisfactory response from her.

For example, if he gave her this gift today, he would wait for her to open it, observing her reaction without changing his expression. When he saw that she was happy and satisfied, he would be very satisfied.

A man remains a boy until he dies.

*

Cheng Yian's words also work when applied to Cheng Mingyu.

At the beginning of the night at the hour of Xu, an extremely low-key carriage arrived at the dark alley of the Cheng Mansion. This dark alley turned in from another street. From the outside, it seemed to have nothing to do with the Cheng family, but it was a different world inside. It could go straight around the outer wall of Cheng Mingyu's study. There was a small door here, which was usually only for Cheng Mingyu to enter and exit. Otherwise, why couldn't those courtiers and the princess who wanted to use connections to find Cheng Mingyu for so many years?

The carriage stopped and the maidservant took Xia Fu down.

She was wearing a silver cloak with a hood. She pulled the hood down and raised her eyes. There stood a tall man in front of her. He was wearing a lake blue gown and had a slender figure. The gown fit her body perfectly and clearly revealed his elegant figure.

Apart from the official uniform, Cheng Mingyu used to like long gowns and wide robes, either white, dark brown or dark black, rarely any other colors, and they matched his majesty as the head of the family. But the robe he wore today was different.

The color matches the lake green that Xia Fu usually wears, and also makes her look very youthful.

When Xia Fu saw him for the first time, she thought she had returned to Chengjiabao.

He was always in great shape and never wore any accessories. Today he even took off An An's sachet.

The face illuminated by the yellow light looked as if it were a sculpture, profound and noble.

Xia Fu also stared at him, then she reacted, smiled awkwardly, lowered her eyes and saluted him, "Master Cheng."

She always teased him like this, calling him "Master Cheng" outside the doorstep, and when no one was around, she would call him "Master of the House", which was so heartbreaking.

Cheng Mingyu looked at her quietly for a while, raised his hand and pointed inside, then led her into the study.

Cheng Mingyu has two study rooms. One study room is used for daily living, which is the balcony that Cheng Yian often visits. The other is the Cheng family's library, which is filled with vast volumes of books, which are the Cheng family's treasures for hundreds and thousands of years. The last time Prince Ning compiled a book, he spent a long time in the Cheng family.

There are special people taking care of this place, and it is guarded by the Cheng family's most elite secret guards.

Cheng Mingyu led Xia Fu to the library first. An old man named Chen opened the door. The whole study was cylindrical in shape, with a staircase in the middle and windows on all four sides. The whole room was filled with stacked bookshelves, a total of five layers, which showed how many books there were in the collection.

Xia Fu had heard of the Cheng family's library and had longed to go there. She had heard that only a handful of people could enter the library. Normally, when members of the Cheng family wanted to borrow books, they would first choose from the list, have it delivered to the manager's office, and then have someone take it out. The books must not be damaged and must be returned on time.

Today I was lucky enough to witness it.

The library never uses oil lamps or candles. Instead, it uses a kind of night-light lamp imported from the West. This lamp is made of a special fuel that will not catch fire and will go out when it burns out.

Xia Fu followed Cheng Mingyu into the house and walked east. The library occupied a large area. Outside the library was an empty yard with no tall trees planted. There were only some flower beds scattered around. Under a floor-to-ceiling carved window, there was a long curved table with a long silk hanging above it.

Eighteen paintings were hung neatly on the long table. Looking at each one, one could clearly see a child growing into a graceful young girl. There were seated statues, standing statues, and even a casual glimpse in the garden. It was obvious that they were all scenes when Cheng Mingyu accidentally ran into Cheng Yian in the past.

Xia Fu's eyes became wet as she stood in front of the long desk.

Every one of them is beautiful, every one of them is lifelike, and the girl is so graceful and lively that you can't take your eyes off her beauty.

Xia Fu couldn't believe that this was the daughter she gave birth to.

Start with the first picture.

That was when Cheng Yian was one year old. The child was sitting in a cradle, holding onto the fence, and looking at the visitors with a pair of big watery eyes, with a look of naivety and confusion.

She had been gone for only half a year at that time, and the child still had some impression of her.

Xia Fu stood in front of the desk, tears streaming down her face. When she was two years old, she was able to stand up. The child staggered and held a rattle, smiling at the people who came over. The smiling eyes looked a little like her.

"Is she smiling at you?" Xia Fu choked up and looked back at Cheng Mingyu.

Cheng Mingyu stood behind her with his hands behind his back and nodded, "Yes."

Watching further, you can clearly see the child grow from a naive little girl into a lively and lively young lady.

An An inherited most of her looks, and also had some of Cheng Mingyu's strengths. Compared to her gentleness, An An was more lively, and her watery almond-shaped eyes were so full of spirit that they seemed like a spring of living water that could flow into people's hearts.

How lucky she is to have given birth to such a lovely and beautiful daughter.

The sadness and regrets of many years filled Xia Fu's heart, making it difficult for her to control herself. She burst into tears and almost lost herself in tears.

She didn't know how long she cried. She seemed to be held by him in a daze. They walked through a long corridor. When Xia Fu opened her eyes again, they came to a small wooden house. There was a natural warm fragrance in the house. Xia Fu was too sensitive to warm baths. She guessed what it was when she smelled it. She got off him, looked around, and saw a bamboo forest outside the glazed window. There was a piano table under the window, and the Jiaowei piano was placed on it.

There was a door on the west side of the piano room. The hot air was coming out from inside. Xia Fu went to the door and took a look. Inside was a large hot spring. The pool was ten feet square, surrounded by beautiful gauze. The spring water was clear and surging, and it seemed to have the fragrance of medicine.

Xia Fu stared at Cheng Mingyu in a daze.

"Master, where is this?"

She had just cried, her eyes were red, her eyebrows were shrouded in mist, and the corners of her eyes were narrow and long like a charming wild fox.

Cheng Mingyu's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he looked at her with his hands behind his back.

"Your body

Your bones are weak, and the weather is going to get cold soon. This warm soup is just right for you."

In the past, there was only one piano room here. Since Xia Fu returned to Beijing, Cheng Mingyu had someone build a hot spring next door, which was connected to the piano room. He could imagine the scene of him and Xia Fu playing the piano in the room while it was snowing heavily outside.

Of course Xia Fu understood what Cheng Mingyu meant.

She raised her eyes, looked at him seductively and asked, "Does the master want to keep his beloved in a golden house?"

Cheng Mingyu smiled slowly, "I wonder if Fu'er is willing?"

Xia Fu did not refuse and walked over with a smile, "If you need me, I will come to find the master."

Still don't agree to live here.

Cheng Mingyu didn't say anything. Seeing that her voice was hoarse from crying, he poured her a cup of tea. Xia Fu came to the piano table. The broken string of the Jiaowei piano was still broken. "Isn't it fixed yet?"

Cheng Mingyu handed her the teacup and said, "I haven't found the right strings yet."

Xia Fu knew that he was a very particular person and wanted the best of everything.

For example, this tea must be made from the snow water from the plum blossoms of the previous year, and it smells like plum.

Cheng Mingyu glanced at the hot spring next door and asked her, "Do you want to take a dip?"

Xia Fu smiled and said, "I didn't bring any clothes with me today."

Cheng Mingyu raised his hand and pointed to the long table beside the hot pool. "I've prepared it for you."

Xia Fu's cheeks flushed. She looked back and saw a lot of clothes neatly stacked on the long table. She looked at Cheng Mingyu with a complicated expression and said angrily through gritted teeth,

"The master is really well prepared."

Cheng Mingyu remained calm and gestured for her to enjoy it.

It was a rare opportunity, so Xia Fu didn't waste it. She walked to the edge of the pool and looked back. Cheng Mingyu had turned his back and was not looking at her.

Before Xia Fu undressed, she flipped through the clothes Cheng Mingyu had prepared for her. She discovered that he had even prepared small shirts and small clothes, and the sizes were suitable... Xia Fu's face almost turned red.

What would the servants think if the master of the family did such things?

"So, our ancestors know about our affairs?"

Cheng Mingyu stood at the door with his hands behind his back, shaking his head and saying, "I didn't tell her."

"Then once you make this dress, won't she know about it?"

Cheng Mingyu glanced to the side, his remaining eyes falling on a corner in front of her, "So, Fu'er is so concerned about my mother, how about I lead you over now?"

Xia Fu immediately shut up.

She first went to the clean room next door to clean herself, and came out wrapped in a wide white towel. Cheng Mingyu was still standing in the same place without moving.

Xia Fu then walked gently into the water. The pool was not deep, and there was a stone seat underneath. She sat down, and the warm water soaked right up to her neck. The warm and soft feeling was really great. Xia Fu wrapped a white towel around herself and looked at Cheng Mingyu by the pool.

"If the master is tired, go sit in the piano room."

Cheng Mingyu shook his head, "I was afraid you might fall into the water, so I stayed here to watch."

"You can't see me like this." Xia Fu teased him.

The figure was silent for a while and turned around.

Seeing this, Xia Fu hurriedly wrapped the white towel more tightly.

She had her hair in a bun today, with her long black hair pulled into the bun, revealing a section of her snow-white neck. Her face was flushed by the heat, and even after being scared by him, there was still a hint of cuteness between her brows that could not be faded by time.

Cheng Mingyu was still a gentleman at heart, and he couldn't look at a woman's body openly. He quickly turned his eyes away, but this time he sat down on the long table behind her along the edge of the pool.

"It won't be a problem if we're this close."

Xia Fu felt so comfortable after soaking for a while that she didn't want to get out of the bath. Seeing Cheng Mingyu sitting there motionless, with his narrow waist straight, she started to be naughty again, "Master, do you want to get down and soak in the bath too?"

"I don't really like hot tubs." Cheng Mingyu would not take a bath unless he had to. "The water temperature and depth of this pool are prepared for you."

He might not be able to come out for a while after he went down. Xia Fu was weak and it would be bad for her to soak for too long for the first time.

Cheng Mingyu had already figured it out clearly.

"How often does the master of the family usually take a bath?"

“Two or three times a month.”

No wonder the head of the family looks young, this is indeed a good way to keep fit.

A quarter of an hour later, Xia Fu could no longer hold on, "Master, please wait for me outside."

Cheng Mingyu handed her a dry handkerchief and went out.

Shao Yu Xia Fu came out.

Cheng Mingyu prepared ginseng soup for her and paused slightly when his eyes fell on her.

An old robe of Cheng Mingyu was placed on the long table. Xia Fu did not wear the clothes Cheng Mingyu prepared for her, but wore his robe. No man could resist such subtle temptation from a woman. Cheng Mingyu's eyes were deep, and his dark gaze was penetrating. Xia Fu's cheeks were already flushed with a thin layer of blush, and she became even more bloodshot when he looked at her like this.

She took the soup cup, drank it in one gulp, and then put it down.

His robe was too big and certainly didn't fit her properly, and the hem of it was dragging on the ground.

There was no way Xia Fu could wear his clothes. She didn't bring any clothes with her, and she was sure that Cheng Mingyu would not let her go tonight. She had to wash them after all, and the clean clothes could only be kept for later.

An invisible spider web wrapped around me, and even breathing became difficult for no reason.

In just a blink of an eye, the tall figure came over her, covered the back of her head with his hands, and kissed her on the lips. The next moment, she was lifted up by him and placed on the piano table. Xia Fu pushed the Jiaowei Qin again and again, and it slowly fell along the piano table and leaned to the side. There was nothing else on the piano table, so she could relax and enjoy herself.

Her snow-white feet stepped on his knees and pushed him forward. Xia Fu bit his lips and panted softly.

"Master... I see that your study is filled with scrolls. It would be easy to confuse An An if she puts all those scrolls in there. Why don't you let me take them back..."

Cheng Mingyu brushed the tip of her teeth and gave her only two words: "Dream on!"

Xia Fu closed her eyes helplessly, bent her arms and covered his shoulder bones and the back of his neck, wrapped her arms tighter and tighter, and panted heavily. Cheng Mingyu stopped and asked her, "Xia Fu, as long as you like, you can see the lovely little An An every day when you open your eyes, and you can come and bathe in the hot spring when you feel tired at night. This yard is like a paradise, don't you want to live here?"

Xia Fu quickly blocked his mouth and held him tighter in her arms. "The master goes out with you two or three times a month, so I will accompany you two or three times a month."

Cheng Mingyu laughed angrily, "Come here, I'll keep you company every day."

The tip of the lips was not playing, that was clearly a fight.

You come and I go, and no one listens to anyone else's orders.

Xia Fuling's tongue brushed across the corner of his lips and she leaned against his chest, breathing heavily. "Then I can't ignore the health of the master of the family. You are the prime minister of the dynasty, and your status is noble. Even if I, Xia Fu, can't make money for the world, I can't be a beauty and a disaster."

"If you marry me seriously, you won't be a troublemaker."

Just push her into your body.

Xia Fu closed her eyes deeply. Her slender arms were so soft on him that it was difficult for her to breathe. Her delicate voice was shaken by him.

"Has the master forgotten the rumors?"

It is rumored that he is unlucky in marriage.

Cheng Mingyu was stunned and almost lost his mind because of Xia Fu's anger.

In the midst of deep emotions, Xia Fu did not forget to threaten Cheng Mingyu, and waved the bracelet in front of him again and again.

"Master, can you give me An An's scroll? Otherwise, I will let the snake bite you."

Cheng Mingyu frowned, "If you have the ability, bring all those more than 100 snakes to the Cheng family."

Xia Fu: “….”

The sixth day of August is Cheng Yiqiao's wedding. Cheng Yiyan just rushed back to the capital from Jiangnan today to preside over the wedding. Although he makes all the decisions on family matters now, he still has to consult his father for many important matters. Cheng Yiyan went to Cheng Mingyu's study with the wedding ceremony regulations.

When he reached the hall, a secret guard appeared and blocked his way.

Cheng Yiyan was startled.

Since he was born till now, every time he came to Cheng Mingyu's study, he had never been blocked.

"What are you doing?" He displayed the authority of a young master.

The secret guard lowered his eyes and said respectfully, "The master is not in a position to see the young master at this time."

"What?" Cheng Yiyan was a little dumbfounded, and looked to the end of the corridor. There was a faint light in the annex, which showed that people were not asleep yet, and it was not time for his father to go to bed.

"Are there guests?"

In fact, no one told him on the way here that there were guests at home. His father rarely saw outsiders, and even if there were, he would not hide it from him.

The dark guard lowered his eyes and just repeated this sentence once.

Cheng Yiyan had no choice but to go back home. Halfway through the journey, he saw Uncle Chen from the housekeeper's office coming over with a pile of documents. Cheng Yiyan called him and asked, "Has Daddy added anyone to his life recently?"

Uncle Chen bowed to him and laughed, "Why do you ask this, young master?"

Cheng Yiyan pointed in the direction of the study and said, "I was on my way to see Dad just now, but was blocked by the secret guards. Dad wouldn't have taken advantage of my absence to find a confidante, would he?"

Cheng Yiyan judges others by himself. He only avoids seeing others when he is making love with his wife. Otherwise, even if he is asleep, he has to get up if something happens.

Uncle Chen looked at his young master with a strange expression, "Is our master such a person?"

"Yeah, I don't think so either."

Cheng Yiyan patted his forehead and went to the backyard helplessly.

The old man was asking the needlework lady in the backyard a question because someone inadvertently revealed in the needlework room that Cheng Mingyu had recently made a few sets of clothes.

The old ancestor's eyes lit up. His son had been wearing a few old clothes over and over again for so many years and seldom changed into new clothes. Now that the sun rose from the west, he began to dress himself up.

The old lady said, "Master, is this the iron tree blooming?"

The old man snorted softly, "I think it's a peacock spreading its tail."

"Maybe, at my age, I can still be a grandmother." The old man smiled.

Afterwards, fearing that Xia Fu might catch a cold, Cheng Mingyu asked her to wash first. However, Xia Fu sat in the armchair and wiped her sweat, looking at him helplessly, "Master, you wash first. I'll wash after my sweat dries."

Cheng Mingyu agreed to her request, "Why don't you sit in the hot spring for a while? This will help you feel better."

Xia Fu nodded at him.

A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Mingyu came out of the cleaning room and glanced at the long table. The clothes he had prepared for her were gone. He felt suddenly empty in his heart and hurried to the piano room, but Xia Fu was nowhere to be found.

All the warmth on Cheng Mingyu's face disappeared completely, and his eyes fell on the inverted Jiaoweiqin, staring at it for a long time.

*

Lu Xusheng only stayed for three days before returning to Sichuan. The Three Kingdoms War was at its most intense, and if it had not been Cheng Yian's birthday, he would never have returned to Beijing.

After he left, Cheng Yian was taken back to the main house by the Cheng family. Cheng Yiqiao was getting married soon. Cheng Yixin and Cheng Yian helped Cheng Yiqiao to count her dowry. On the first day of Cheng Yian's arrival, she handed Cheng Yiqiao a horse whip that Lu Xusheng had given her.

"This is the whip your father-in-law asked Lu Xusheng to bring back. He said that he was busy at the front and couldn't get away. He couldn't come back to Beijing to preside over the wedding. He was sorry for you. I'm giving you this whip. If your second brother-in-law doesn't listen to me in the future, you can beat him."

Cheng Yixin laughed and said, "Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are really good."

Cheng Yiqiao took it with a look of surprise, and held it solemnly in her arms, "It is a great pity that my father-in-law cannot come back."

Cheng Yixin could only counsel her, "National affairs are about sacrifice and military affairs. This time, your father-in-law will surely be able to make great contributions with your third brother-in-law, which will also be an honor for the Meng family."

Cheng Yiqiao nodded silently.

The day before the wedding, the three sisters and the old ancestor gathered in Cheng Yiqiao's room to talk and listen to the old ancestor telling about Cheng Yiqiao's past embarrassing stories.

At first, there was constant laughter and joy, but later, Cheng Yiqiao couldn't hold back her tears anymore and suddenly hugged her grandfather and burst into tears.

"My granddaughter can't bear to leave you."

But Cheng Yiqiao never left her ancestor for a moment. Her ancestor had raised her from infancy until now, and now she was going to get married off suddenly. How could they bear to let her go? The grandfather and granddaughter hugged each other and cried for a long time.

The next day, before dawn, Cheng Yiqiao was surrounded by the matchmaker and was getting dressed. When she put on her wedding dress, she saw Cheng Yian sitting in the side room drinking tea. "Where's my eldest sister?"

Cheng Yian said, "My eldest sister is feeling unwell today and said she won't be coming for the time being."

Cheng Yiqiao stared at her suspiciously and suddenly stopped talking.

She understood that Cheng Yixin was thinking about her and her divorce, and was unwilling to come to the bridal chamber for fear of taboos.

Cheng Yiqiao was so angry that she picked up her clothes and went to Cheng Yixin's room, followed by a group of maids.

"Second Miss, today is your wedding day, you shouldn't go out like this."

Cheng Yiqiao didn't care about these red tapes and rushed to Cheng Yixin's yard. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Cheng Yixin feeding Cui'er fruit. She didn't look uncomfortable at all. Cheng Yiqiao said with red eyes,

"I don't have a mother. Apart from my father and grandmother, the person closest to me in this life is you, my eldest sister. I'm getting married today, what's the meaning of you not showing up?"

Cheng Yixin looked at her crying sister, holding back the sadness in her heart, and came over, "Silly child, I don't want to go for a reason..."

Cheng Yiqiao picked up the hem of her skirt and stamped her feet, "I don't believe that."

Yan Ye took off the phoenix hairpin on his head and threw it aside, "Cheng Yixin, if you don't come today, I won't marry you!"

Cheng Yixin burst into tears instantly, and quickly picked up the hairpin and rushed over to hug her.

"Good sister, go, I'll go right away."

Cheng Yiqiao hugged her and cried.

Cheng Yian ran after them, holding his waist. Seeing the sisters crying together, his eyes also turned red. Finally, he laughed and said,

"Don't miss the auspicious time. Go back to your room quickly."

The three sisters returned to Cheng Yiqiao's bridal chamber. Cheng Yixin personally put makeup on Cheng Yiqiao, while Cheng Yian sat aside and watched.

Cheng Yiqiao couldn't move, and stared at her sister. Seeing Cheng Yian stuffing candy on the left and cakes on the right, she felt anxious for her.

"Be careful not to become fat."

Cheng Yian panicked when he heard this and threw the cake away immediately, "Am I really fat?"

Cheng Yixin scolded her, "Don't listen to your second sister's nonsense, she is still very compatible."

Cheng Yiqiao teased her, "You can't eat like that. You're such a pretty girl, but what's wrong with eating so much that you become a fat girl? Be careful or your family won't recognize you when you get back!"

Cheng Yian cried, "But I'm hungry."

Ever since Lu Xusheng left, she could no longer control her mouth. She had to eat in the morning and in the middle of the night. She felt uncomfortable if she didn't eat.

Cheng Yixin pinched Cheng Yiqiao's lips to comfort Cheng Yian.

"You are pregnant now. If you don't eat, how can the baby grow? Don't listen to her nonsense. She doesn't know anything. Wait until she gets pregnant and see if she will eat!"

The child is the oldest.

Cheng Yian stuffed food into his mouth with peace of mind.

Cheng Yiqiao looked at her and laughed while holding her stomach, "How silly!"

When the time came, firecrackers were heard outside.

The maid came to report,

"Besides my aunt, there are the eldest son of Marquis Chen's mansion, the eldest son of Duke Shi's mansion, and Master Zhang Weixin."

Hearing the name "Zhang Weixin", Cheng Yiqiao and Cheng Yian looked at Cheng Yixin at the same time. Cheng Yixin coughed lightly.

"Why did he come to join in the fun?"

The maid laughed and said, "I heard that our second aunt didn't choose him at first, but he volunteered to help pick up the bride."

To put it bluntly, I want to show my face in front of Cheng Yixin.

Cheng Yixin shook her head, "Nonsense."

The Cheng family was a wealthy family with many students and former officials all over the world. The eldest son of the Cheng family didn't even need to take action, as the other young masters and students from the other branches had blocked Meng Ruchuan completely. Meng Ruchuan's men couldn't get in at all. When he was about to pick up the bride, Meng Ruchuan decisively jumped onto the beam, used his lightness skills to run towards the backyard, and jumped straight into the bridal chamber, picked up Cheng Yiqiao and walked out.

The Cheng family wives in the house saw this and teased him.

"Auntie, please look carefully, be careful not to hug the wrong person!"

Meng Ruchuan was so frightened that he almost let go. The maids rushed over in a panic and dragged Cheng Yiqiao. Cheng Yiqiao was so angry that she knocked Meng Ruchuan a few times. After confirming that it was his wife's voice, Meng Ruchuan felt relieved and carried her out the door.

The bride went out in a noisy manner. Cheng Yixin was afraid that Cheng Yian would not be able to hold on, so she took her to a secluded place to rest early.

The second sister got married smoothly, and now Cheng Yian is only worried about the eldest sister.

"Just now Nanny Ming told me that the Patriarch and his wife of the Pei family came to congratulate us today with valuable gifts. I think they came for you, my elder sister."

As for Pei Ji, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, he did not attend the banquet, probably because he was thinking about his relationship with Li Gu.

Cheng Yixin couldn't really stay in the Cheng family. After watching her sister get married, she finally had the idea.

"It's time to make some careful plans."

"Did you see Mr. Zhang just now? Although he is not very good-looking, I saw that he had a smile on his face and looked very cute and interesting."

Before Cheng Yian could finish, Cheng Yixin shook her head repeatedly, "I don't like him."

"I don't have to get married, so why should I choose someone I don't like? I want to choose someone who is talented and beautiful and who is destined to be with me."

Cheng Yi'an breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she finally came out, "The eldest sister is indeed the eldest sister. She is a role model for us in every aspect. This is how people should be. The more setbacks they get, the more courageous they become. You can't settle for second best and wrong yourself."

"Have you ever met Pei Ji?"

Cheng Yixin sighed, "No."

"I plan to pick a man who comes from a humble family and is willing to be my son-in-law. I don't want him to support the family, just live with me. This way, the child can stay in the Cheng family, and I can be free."

This reminded Cheng Yian of Fan Yulin.

"No, no, elder sister, believe me, marriage must be based on equal status. A man like this may have bad intentions. His purpose is to get close to you, covet your money, and covet the power of the Cheng family. There will be many troubles in the future."

After hearing what her sister said, Cheng Yixin became timid again, "Nowadays, there is no one who can match the Cheng family and is willing to live next to the Cheng family."

She had no intention of taking the child with her, and she would never allow the child to suffer any injustice.

To put it bluntly, she just wants to find a partner for herself now.

Cheng Yian said, "Then let's meet slowly."

Between Zhang Weixin and Pei Ji, Zhang Weixin has the potential to live with Cheng Yixin, but unfortunately Cheng Yixin doesn't like him.

As for Pei Ji...the Pei family is from a noble family, Pei Ji is a rising star in the dynasty, even Lu Xusheng praises him, which shows that he is an outstanding person.

Is Pei Ji willing to condescend for his elder sister?

Not big

possible.

At this time, Cheng Yian was extremely impressed by the courage of the Sichuan Governor's Office.

As the sky gradually darkened, the wedding carriage arrived at the gate of the Sichuan Governor's Mansion. People beat drums and gongs to escort the newlyweds in. Governor Meng was not at home, so Mrs. Meng presided over the wedding. After paying respects to her parents, she sent the newlyweds to the bridal chamber.

After lifting the red veil and drinking the wedding wine, Meng Ruchuan came to the front yard to toast. After three toasts, he was about to go to the bridal chamber, but was stopped by everyone.

"Groom, what's the hurry? Do you want to enter the bridal chamber without drinking enough wine?"

Shi Feiyue hugged one of his arms and pushed him into the crowd. Everyone swarmed over and poured wine for Meng Ruchuan.

The boy who was sincere at the beginning has now become smart. He started to pretend to be drunk after drinking a few sips. Mrs. Meng couldn't bear to see her son being harmed, so she mobilized troops and asked the relatives of the Meng family and her mother's family to help her son drink. After rescuing her son, she personally gave him a bowl of sobering soup and patted his shoulder.

"Go to the bridal chamber and accompany Qiao Qiao."

Meng Ruchuan drank a bowl of sobering soup and became more sober. He washed his face and rinsed his mouth before going to the backyard.

The tall and handsome young man came to the main room and peeked into the window first. He saw Cheng Yiqiao sitting quietly on the marital bed. There was no one else in the room. He couldn't help swallowing a few times and felt nervous.

The booklet that the old nanny stuffed in his mouth last night made him blush, and he had to go to the battlefield tonight.

How can this be possible if he still doesn't have any idea in his mind?
