Chapter 6 on how to be a hated cousin

The golden plaques of the Zhumen are still magnificent, the animal heads are fierce and majestic, and the young man standing at the door to greet the guests is smiling, surrounded by everyone, dazzling like pearls and jade.

Familiar people and scenes came into view, Cheng Wei unconsciously smiled happily, and hurriedly lowered the curtain.

"Cousin Lingyun, your hair is a bit messy, let me tidy it up for you." Cheng Yao said.

"I'll just come." Cheng Tong, who was sitting beside Chen Lingyun, said.

Cheng Yao smiled slightly, and touched Cheng Wei: "Sanmei, let's go down first."

"Okay." Cheng Wei didn't want to stay in the carriage for a moment, so she stood up immediately, bent over and raised her skirt, and passed by Chen Lingyun who was sitting near the door and hurriedly grooming herself.

Seeing that the carriage carrying the maids behind had not stopped yet, and the young man had raised his feet to meet Mrs. Han, she leaned on the wall of the carriage and jumped off, but before her feet landed on the ground, she felt tripped by something. The whole body fell straight forward.

In a panic, Cheng Wei subconsciously grabbed it with his backhand.

An exclamation sounded, attracting people's attention.

Cheng Wei saw Cheng Yao suddenly standing in front of her, and the two of them fell down together, breaking out in a cold sweat.

I am much stronger than the second sister, if I press down like this, wouldn't the second sister be crushed into a persimmon?
The moment she landed, she hurriedly supported the ground with her hands, and under inertia, her elbows rubbed against the ground. The bracelet on her left wrist collided with the bluestone ground, making a crisp sound.

The long-lost voice suddenly sounded in my mind: "What are you doing, are you dying?"

Cheng Wei had long noticed that the voice seemed unable to perceive the movement of the outside world, and could only communicate with her verbally, so he ignored it immediately, looking at Cheng Yao who had a painful expression on his face, and hurriedly asked, "Second Sister, are you alright?"

"Girl, are you alright!" Cheng Yao's personal servant girl rushed towards her holding the piano, and there were exclamations one after another around her.

Thus, Cheng Wei's inquiry was drowned in the noise.

The young man who was facing the Han family paused, and walked straight to this side with big strides. He stopped when the distance was less than ten feet, and looked at the two sisters who had fallen to the ground. He pursed his lips before regaining his composure. : "Hurry up and help the two cousin girls up!"

The maids who were stunned by this accident woke up and hurriedly helped the two of them up.

"Are the two cousins ​​okay?"

Cheng Wei ignored the tingling pain in his elbow, subconsciously raised a smile: "Cousin Zhi, we're fine—"

Halfway through the conversation, Han Zhi's eyes didn't fall in this direction, and he looked at Cheng Yao with gentle and concerned eyes.

Cheng Wei stopped talking all of a sudden, and suddenly felt wronged, but she was used to being stubborn, and she didn't want to show weakness in front of others, so she just bit her lip hard and lifted her chin, suppressing the surging tears.

Han Zhi noticed that Cheng Wei had suddenly quieted down, and cast a slight glance at her, seeing her expression, almost subconsciously frowned, with a flash of disgust and disappointment.

Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment, and blinked slightly, as if he didn't believe what he saw.

The few times before stepping into Duke Wei's mansion, Han Zhi was indifferent and alienated towards Cheng Wei, which made the little girl puzzled and pondered over and over again, so she wanted to take this opportunity to make it clear so that the two could return to their previous appearance, but When he got out of the carriage without thinking, he was hit head-on by the other party's disgust beyond his indifference, and he was stunned on the spot.

"Third Sister, are you alright?" Cheng Yao pushed away the maid's support, and pulled Cheng Wei up and down to look him up and down.

"I'm fine." Cheng Wei said smoothly, his eyes were still looking at Han Zhi, seeing his tall and tall body, his expression was as calm as before, doubts flashed in his heart: Could it be - did he see it wrong?
At this time, Cheng Wei still doesn't understand that sometimes, a girl will avoid the obvious facts, either because she has no judgment, or just - she doesn't want to believe it.

Cheng Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine."

The purple-clothed boy standing beside Han Zhi couldn't bear it any longer, stared at Cheng Wei and said in a low voice, "I've never seen such a vicious person again!"

"Rong Xin!" Han Zhi called out warningly.

It turned out that this young man in purple was the grandson of Lord Jing, who was nicknamed "Little Overlord" in Beijing, and his words and deeds were the most unscrupulous.

At this moment Han Shi had already walked over, glared at Cheng Wei angrily, and reprimanded: "Nonsense!"

"Auntie, nephew help you in, I'll ask someone to take the two cousins ​​to clean up."

Han also didn't want to teach her daughter a lesson in full view, so she nodded along the steps Han Zhi handed over, and gave Cheng Wei a warning look: "It's good to follow your second sister, don't cause trouble again!"

The group of people turned around and went in, Cheng Wei was supported by Huanyan, and followed the maid who led the way like a marionette, and waited until they entered a well-furnished guest room, hiding behind the four seasons flowers to change their clothes, Make a cry of pain.

"Third sister, what's the matter?" Cheng Yao, who had changed her clothes first, asked when she heard the movement.

Only then did Cheng Wei wake up, frowning and staring at the blood on his elbow, he said in frustration, "It's okay."

She changed into the spare clothes she brought from home and turned out from behind the screen.

Cheng Yao greeted her, took Cheng Wei's hand and sat down on the beauty couch for the guests to rest, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that Cheng Wei was silent, she raised her face and said to the maid of the two, "You guys go out first."

"Yes." Baoqin slightly bent his knees, seeing that Huanyan was standing still, he stretched out his hand to pull, "Sister Huanyan, let's go out."

Huan's face was expressionless, and she seemed a little dull when she looked at people slowly. She shook her head while hugging Qin, and looked at Cheng Wei.

Because Cheng Yao is able to get along well, she is different from the concubine daughters of ordinary families, and she can be regarded as a respectable maid who holds the piano. Seeing this, she was a little annoyed, her strength in her hands increased, and her tone of voice became a little bit heavier: "Sister Huanyan didn't listen. Come on, the girl told us to go out."

Huanyan glanced at her slowly and remained motionless: "The girl didn't say anything."

"Why didn't you say it?" Baoqin was really annoyed, "Didn't you hear what the second girl said?"

The small dispute between the two maids attracted Cheng Wei's attention.

Cheng Yao's face sank slightly, and she reprimanded: "Baoqin, why are you becoming more and more ignorant, dare to argue in front of the girl, why don't you go out!"

Because Cheng Yao is usually quite friendly, Baoqin is not very afraid, and aggrievedly argued: "Girl, it's not that the servant girl wants to quarrel, it's that this girl doesn't obey orders."

Huanyan was even more aggrieved than Baoqin, and she said calmly: "I didn't refuse to listen, my girl didn't give orders. Sister Baoqin, the second girl gave orders, you should go out quickly, or the second girl will get angry."

Baoqin was stunned for a moment before stomping his feet angrily: "Girl, look at this little hoof—"

Cheng Yao seemed a little embarrassed, and looked at Cheng Wei.

Cheng Wei, who had been silent all this time, glanced at Cheng Yao and looked at Huanyan, for some reason, felt sour in his heart, and an indescribable joy and satisfaction surged up.

It turned out that besides the second elder brother, there would be other people, no matter how good they were, they would only listen to what she had to say.

Most girls are like this, even if they were very angry before, maybe because of an inconspicuous incident, they will temporarily forget their troubles, and Cheng Wei is no exception.

She raised the corner of her mouth, and her voice became brisk: "Huanyan, you go out, I'll talk to my second sister."

Speaking of this, some guilty conscience did not protect Cheng Yao's face, and explained to her: "Second sister, don't get angry with this girl, she has always been dumb."

Seeing this, Cheng Yao had nothing to say.

Only then did Huanyan lift her feet and follow Baoqin out, and halfway said: "Sister Baoqin, I'm dumb, don't get angry with me."

Baoqin's trembling lips could not utter a word, his chest heaved with anger, he snorted harshly, and turned his head away with a blank look.

Unexpectedly, the two had already reached the door, she turned her head so suddenly, it was too late to stop, and her face was directly pressed against the door frame.

Cheng Wei and Cheng Yao looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

Embarrassed, Baoqin pushed open the door to cover her face and rushed out, Huanyan gently closed the door to follow, and there was a faint conversation between the two.

"Sister Baoqin, my handkerchief is soft silk. My girl gave it to me. Would you like to wipe your face?"

"Need not!"

"But, there is a door mark on your face, don't you really need to wipe it off?"

"To shut up!"

After that, there was finally no movement, and Cheng Yao showed embarrassment in front of Cheng Wei for the first time.
