Chapter 9 We have a good brother

"It has nothing to do with the second sister. I have always been like this. I don't know how to please people." Admitting that you are not as good as others is always unpleasant. Filled with broken diamonds, even though she was dressed lightly and was as pale as a piece of dried plum, at this moment she suddenly burst into dazzling brilliance.

Even Han Qiuhua, who has always been prudent, couldn't help but startled, and then sighed in his heart, it's a pity that Cousin Wei has a pair of excellent eyes!

Cheng Wei didn't know Han Qiuhua's sudden regret, and said it seriously: "But the second brother told me that a person's character is taught, but temper is born. Any temper has advantages, if you pretend to be your temper for others , I will live a very tiring life, I just need to be myself and have a clear conscience."

"Cousin Wei, Cousin Che is right. He really cares about you. If you don't understand anything in the future, if you don't have time to ask me, you can ask Cousin Che more often."

Cheng Wei raised his eyebrows slightly: "Of course, the second brother is the best brother, he knows everything, it's ridiculous that Cheng Tong always wants to snatch the second brother away! But she didn't know that the second brother said five years ago Lah, only I am his sister, no one can replace her."

Five years ago, it was the time when Cheng Wei's father showed up with his lovely wife and child.

When the little girl talked about her pride, her eyebrows were beaming with joy, as if she had no other troubles.

Han Qiuhua couldn't help feeling emotional, how could Wei Cousin's heartless personality be bad in the eyes of those who can really appreciate it?

She suddenly became anxious and asked, "What about Cousin Ya and Cousin Yao?"

"Huh?" Cheng Wei was taken aback.

Han Qiuhua chuckled: "You just said that Cousin Che only recognizes you as a younger sister."

Cheng Wei was immediately stopped by the question, opened his mouth, and said with a guilty conscience: "It's not what I said."

But for some reason, thinking of what her second brother said, she couldn't help but feel happy, and at the same time feel a little ashamed.

Chen Lingyun always called her domineering, but sometimes she was right.

Seeing this, Han Qiuhua was no longer embarrassed, and pointed out, "It's here."

In front of you is a small two-story wooden building, which is simple and elegant, and there is a long corridor connecting it.The stone tables under the corridor are round and square, covered with a plain brocade cloth filled with moonlight, and filled with all kinds of pastries and nuts; the stone benches are of different lengths, well arranged, and covered with thick makeup flowers. Cotton pads; every half a foot or so, there is a maid standing by the porch column to wait for orders, and there is also a little maid who pays special attention to the brazier so that the charcoal fire can be added in time.

Seeing this scene, envy flashed in Chen Lingyun's eyes.She lives in the uncle's mansion. Although she is treated the same as Cheng Wei and others, they are two personal maids and two little maids, but once she comes out, let alone the Weiguo mansion, which is compared with the jade hall and golden palace, even ordinary noble girls The ostentation is not as good.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at Cheng Wei secretly.

What my mother said was right, there is no one more annoying than the second-bedroom mother and daughter.

Not to mention that Cheng Ya picked up her mother for cheap, leaving the court also drained all the property of the uncle's family. Grandmother said that the crown princess's dowry should not be too shabby. Not to mention the slightest benefit, Li has never seen the slightest benefit, but in order to support the face of the princess, she has to hand in money every year, which makes the house even more difficult, and she has to live a tight life.

Just as Chen Lingyun was thinking unhappily, Han Qiuhua's voice sounded at the right time: "My sisters are tired after walking for so long, let's rest here first, wash your hands and have some tea and pastries."

Hearing this, Chen Lingyun looked around subconsciously, and happened to be beside a carved wooden table, on which was placed a blue-and-white porcelain basin filled with clear water, and beside the table was half-squatting a maidservant in pink, who was using tongs to fill the brazier. Add charcoal.

She felt that the hand of the pink-clothed maidservant who took the tongs and then handed the handkerchief to herself was a little unclean, so she stretched out her hand and washed it in the blue and white porcelain basin, then picked up the soft towel that was half over the edge of the basin and wiped it. .

Halfway through the action of wiping her hands, Chen Lingyun noticed that there was a change in the atmosphere, so she couldn't help but look up, but saw that everyone was looking straight at her with different expressions.

Chen Lingyun cast a questioning look at Cheng Tong who was on the side.

Cheng Tong's expression was awkward, he hesitated to speak.

Chen Lingyun was even more confused, but she also knew that something might have gone wrong.

The two girls who had been slightly laughing secretly before laughed together.

Han Qiuhua gave the two of them a warning look, and smiled at Chen Lingyun like a spring breeze: "I forgot to say that the water is already cold, and I have neglected the sister of the Chen family."

Then he said to the maidservants standing there: "Hurry up and change the water."

The maidservants all raised their eyebrows and said yes, carrying blue and white porcelain pots and lined up, only one who was younger showed some strangeness.

And before this group of maidservants entered the wooden building connected to the long corridor, a group of maidservants came out of the wooden building in a file, settled silently, and soon arrived in front of the girls. Putting on snow-white soft towels, they all squatted in front of the girls and said in unison: "Please wash your hands, girls."

The clear water in the glass basin is translucent, with rose petals floating on it, and there is a faint sweet fragrance.

Chen Lingyun might not be able to recognize other precious fragrances, but she was deeply impressed by this sweet fragrance.

At that time, not long after her mother brought her back to the uncle's mansion, one day her brother came to visit and gave her a bottle of scented water. She happily took it to share with her cousins, but was deliberately broken by Cheng Wei, who was jealous. Annoyed, Cheng Wei still refused to admit it, and finally pulled out a bottle of light orange dew to show off to her, saying that it was "Qiao Tiancheng"'s "Ning Orange Fragrance", which was just given by cousin Che, so there was nothing wrong with it !

And this faint sweet fragrance is exactly the taste of "Ning Orange Fragrance".

Chen Lingyun's face quickly turned red.

At this time, she still didn't understand, what Han Qiuhua said earlier when the water was cold and changed again, it was clearly for her to save face, the ones in front of her eyes are what the girls need to clean their hands!

Her face turned pale and then red, red and white again, staring at the fragrant glazed water basin, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and slip in!
But at this time, there was still the sound of water, and then there was a girl's chuckle: "Okay, let's go down, this weather, it's cold if you say it's cold, so as not to use it wrong in a while."

Chen Lingyun stood up abruptly, her face was bleeding from embarrassment, she glared fiercely at the girl who was speaking for a moment, and couldn't bear it anymore, covered her face with her hands and ran out.

Cheng Tong has always been on good terms with Chen Lingyun, and when she saw this, she wanted to stand up and chase after her, but she usually took the route of weak willows and wind, so she stood up suddenly, hurriedly helped her forehead, and fell back to the stone bench weakly with an "Ouch" superior.

Cheng Yao grabbed Chen Lingyun and comforted her while stroking her back with her hands: "Cousin Lingyun, don't cry, it's not a big deal, who didn't make a mistake? When you look like this, wait It's not good to be seen by Cousin Zhi and the others."

What he said was sensible and thoughtful, and at some point, several teenagers who had already stood by the plum tree on the other side of the corridor all nodded secretly and cast appreciative glances.

PS: On this day, I always feel as if I forgot something, I was lying down and wanted to sleep, and suddenly remembered, I forgot to update!Ahem, it's understandable that the poor guy who has been sick since publishing the new book and works overtime from time to time, has a bad memory occasionally. . . .
