Chapter 4 Han's Heart Knot

Mrs. Wei Guogong had two daughters, the eldest daughter is Cheng Wei's mother, Han Shi.

Han Shi has practiced martial arts with his father and brother since he was a child, and he has developed a straightforward temperament. In the Huachao Festival that year, Jiji met Master Cheng Er by chance, and when he fell in love at first sight, he boldly confessed his heart to him.

Speaking of which, when faced with a beautiful girl who actively confesses her love, even if the young man is unintentional, he will feel a little ecstatic. Unfortunately, Mr. Cheng Er is going to take part in the examination in a few days, and he is going out in a hurry to exchange knowledge with others of.

Facing a bright future, no matter how beautiful a girl is, she becomes a pink skeleton. The Second Master Cheng rejected it simply and neatly, but it was too neat, which made the straight-tempered Miss Han furious on the spot. She untied the soft whip from her waist and whipped it.

That lash was not heavy, but the impression of being unruly and rude had already left a heavy impression on Master Cheng's heart.

The girl was unpredictable, Han recalled how the Second Master Cheng lightly brushed aside the soft whip and left coldly, but the whip seemed to be drawn to his heart, and he told his mother when he returned home.

There were three older brothers in front of the Han family, and the third brother died when he was less than one year old, and she was born right after him.

Although the old lady of Wei Guogong felt that Huairenbo's mansion was in an awkward situation, who would make his precious daughter like it? After inquiring about it, the second master Cheng was already a candidate for the weak crown, and she was even more delighted, so she quickly called the most famous official media to say item.

Facing the result of polite refusal, the old lady was outraged.

The daughter who looks like a beady eyeball is actually disgusted by the Huairenbo Mansion, which has always been regarded as an alternative among the nobles.How could her precious daughter marry such a blind man!

The old lady's attitude changed a little quickly, and Mrs. Han couldn't adapt for a while, so she ran into the palace on impulse and handed her handkerchief to Empress Feng to cry, but happened to be bumped into by the emperor.

So on the day when the list was made, Huairenbo's mansion, which had always been neglected in front of the door, had just arrived before the announcement of the good news, and the imperial decree of marriage came behind.

After marriage, Master Cheng has always been lukewarm towards the Han family. A few years later, the news came that he was killed by a robber. The one in the belly, whether it's her, or the old uncle and his wife, all hope to be a son so that the second family's incense can continue.

When Han was in childbirth, he escaped death and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins in full two days and one night. Unfortunately, the male baby of the elder brother weighed less than three catties and died within three days, but the female baby weighed a full six catties. , the energy to drink milk is stronger than that of ordinary singleton babies.

In the words of the imperial physician, when he was in the mother's body, his elder brother's nutrition was taken away by his younger sister, which is why this situation happened. What is even more deplorable is that due to dystocia, Han's family can no longer bear children.

Later, the old lady made the decision and adopted the boy from the offspring of the Cheng family to be raised under the name of the Han family. The Han family has never been very affectionate to the second daughter Cheng Wei. Another son was born, and the Han family, who only had two daughters and an heir, became more and more indifferent towards the second daughter.

Gui's mother changed her mind very quickly, after thinking about the reason, she heard Shuanglan's exclamation: "Ah, the girl's face is swollen."

"What are you doing so suddenly!" Gui's mother glared at Shuanglan, her gaze fell on Cheng Wei's slightly swollen left cheek, and she comforted her, "Third Miss, don't be afraid, this old slave will apply some makeup for you later. If you cover it up, you won’t be able to see it.”

The third girl is the most enthusiastic about going to the Duke of Wei's mansion. If she is left behind because of her indecent appearance, the relationship between the mother and daughter will become even more rigid.

Cheng Wei, who has always been quiet, suddenly opened his eyes: "I don't use makeup!"

There was sewage in her eyes, and they were flushed after cleaning. She raised her eyebrows and stared like this, which was really not the aura that a little girl can have. It made the old mother Gui subconsciously take a step back, and then said with a sneer: "Okay." Girl, you can only go out after packing up."

"Then don't go out." Cheng Wei took a look at himself in the Linghua mirror, his face after washing off makeup revealed a slightly dark and rough complexion, and the redness and swelling on his left cheek made those few pimples unsightly.

She sat down on the embroidered pier and stared at the stained moccasin uppers.

"Third girl, don't lose your temper, the girls are still waiting."

Cheng Wei pursed her lips and looked at Gui's mother, and said, "Gui's mother, I didn't lose my temper, I really don't want to go, please trouble you and mother..."

The word "mother" twirled on the tip of her tongue, suppressing the bitterness that was about to burst out of her throat, and then spit it out: "Talk to mother."

Seeing her stubborn appearance, Mother Gui shook her head and reported back to Mrs. Han, leaving behind Shuanglan who felt awkward and said with a quick smile, "Third Miss, wait a moment, this maid will get you a hard-boiled egg and roll it on your cheeks." .”

After everyone had left, only the heavy ginger-yellow muslin curtain was left shaking slightly, Cheng Wei covered his face with his hands, his shoulders twitched, and wept silently.

When Gui's mother entered, she saw Cheng Yao snuggling up beside Han Shi and talking amusingly, Han finally had a little smile on her face, and looked over when she heard the movement.

"Ma'am, the third girl is not in good spirits and wants to stay at home—"

Han's complexion suddenly darkened: "I knew that she had lost her temper again, if she doesn't go, she won't go, just let her!"

Cheng Yao hurriedly stood up, took Han's arm and said softly: "Mother, the third sister is still young, so she will inevitably have a childish temper. In fact, she definitely wants to go in her heart. The third sister feels wronged today, if she can't get out again It's even more uncomfortable, won't my mother feel distressed then? Just let Yao'er go and persuade her."

"She's wronged because she did something wrong?" Han raised her eyebrows, but in the end she didn't say anything else, which seemed to be acquiescence to Cheng Yao's words.

Seeing this, Cheng Yao raised her foot to find Cheng Wei.

Han Shi sighed at Gui's mother: "Don't talk about comparing with Ya'er, if only half of Yao'er is as sensible and polite as Yao'er, it will be fine."

"The eldest girl is virtuous, the second girl is elegant, and the third girl is straightforward. They are all good." Mother Gui persuaded.

Mrs. Han rubbed her swollen temples: "Mom, don't be relieved, I have already made up my mind. When I come back this time, I will go to the palace and mention it to Ya'er, and ask an experienced teaching nun to arrest her for a while." Stop making jokes about that wicked temperament, it would be a shame to lose my face, but if Ya'er gets involved, it will be intolerable!"

The eldest daughter is a princess, and outsiders look at the scenery, and the difficulties are only her mother who knows best.

After Han finished speaking, she turned her head to Xue Lan who was on the side and said, "Ask Aunt Dong and the others to come in."

With rustling clothes, Aunt Dong, who had been waiting outside for a long time, came in, Yingying bowed down to pay her respects to Mrs. Han, and she did not forget to secretly tug Cheng Tong, the fourth girl beside her.

Condescending, Mrs. Han had seen Cheng Tong's hidden grievances clearly, and was annoyed at Aunt Dong's hypocrisy, so she snorted coldly and rolled her eyes over.

Mother Gui's mouth twitched violently when she saw it, and she wished she could rush over to shake Han Shi sober.

Ma'am, if you pretend to be a virtuous wife, will you lose a piece of meat?When the master learns that the mother and daughter have been wronged, it's time for you to show embarrassment again.

Mother Gui stood next to Han Shi, and also touched her quietly, and Han Shi reluctantly said: "Get up."

"Thank you, madam." Aunt Dong curled up and stood up.

Han couldn't see her like this the most, and said to Xuelan with a straight face: "Go and see if the second and third girls have packed up, it's getting late."

Just as he was talking, the curtain was raised, and Cheng Wei and Cheng Yao walked in hand in hand.

Cheng Wei changed her clothes again, no makeup was applied on her face, because her skin was dark, the redness and swelling were not obvious, but her face looked fatter.If you look at it alone, at most you think this girl is not beautiful enough, but standing next to her is Cheng Yao, who is also plain-faced but looks more beautiful.

Han glanced at her daughter, no matter how she looked, she looked like a female goblin who had been beaten back to her original form and became a female goblin. Suddenly, she regretted her previous actions, and she couldn't keep her mouth shut, so she stood up, clutching her stuffy heart, and shook her head. Sleeve: "Let's go."

She strode past Aunt Dong without even raising the corners of her eyes, but Aunt Dong didn't take it seriously and gave Cheng Tong a comforting look, and Tingting went back to the residence to coax her four-year-old son.

Mrs. Han led Cheng Wei and three sisters to pass by Nian Song Tang, but they didn't go in to pay their respects, but went straight to the Chuihua Gate, and the others didn't feel any difference.

Among them, there is another reason.

Mrs. Huairenbo was overworked when she was young, and suffered from migraines. She often suffered from insomnia at night, but she was the one who slept most soundly in the morning. Please, it will be an hour at night.

In Daliang, although men still follow the ancient ceremony of adding 16 crowns, after the 16th birthday, most of the wealthier families will arrange for their sons to be enlightened. More solemnly, it is customary to invite close friends, and the aunt of the Han family must go early, so I greeted the old lady first yesterday.

As soon as the group arrived at the second gate, a maid in rose red bija hurriedly chased after her: "Second madam, wait a moment."
