After talking about serious matters with Mr. Cheng, she went to Cheng Li's outer study to sit.
Cheng Li's outer study room is her favorite.
The furnishings here have not changed at all compared to before. There is a banana tree planted outside the back window. The tall tree trunk crosses the window, just covering the window eaves and casting a whirling green shade.
The sunlight in Guangzhou is strong, the glazed tiles on the roof are translucent, and the indoor light is abundant, so the half-window plantain cover does not depress it, but adds a little shade.
There is a small sofa under the window, where you can sit and read, which is very quiet and lazy.
"Does the second brother come back often?" Yun Qiao asked Cheng Li when he saw that the study was spotless.
She knew that Cheng Li had now moved out.
The reason is to urge marriage.
The Cheng family's cousin, who is one year younger than him, has children who can go to school. Cheng Li has been busy with business these years and has delayed his marriage. Now that the Cheng family is prosperous and he has more free time, Mrs. Cheng will nag him every chance she gets.
Not just nagging, Mrs. Cheng often used various excuses to invite girls of appropriate age to her home.
She even learned from the customs of the previous dynasty and bought two girls who were born in poverty but were clean and delicate, to serve in Cheng Li's house and become concubines in the future.
Cheng Li couldn't bear the disturbance and moved to a small mansion.
Cheng Yin learned these things vividly from Yun Qiao. Yun Qiao could not empathize with his second brother's pain. Instead, he found it particularly interesting that parents from wealthy families were short-lived.
So she also knew that Cheng Li didn't go back to his old house much recently, and she asked on purpose.
Cheng Li is a handsome gentleman, his eyes are gentle and endearing: "Did Xiaoliu sell me out?"
Yun Qiao couldn't help laughing.
Cheng Li looked at her and smiled, his eyes full of emotion, looking at her almost intently.
When she finished laughing, he stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek: "You are following Xiaoliu's bad example, and you are also laughing at the second brother!"
The scorching sun in Guangzhou is warm, and so are the men in Guangzhou. Cheng Li's hand seemed to be immersed in the warm sun, with a scorching temperature, falling on his cheek.
He was beaten to the point of helplessness by Yun Qiao before, and he also pinched her face.
But at that time, it seemed that he had never noticed his burning body temperature.
Now I suddenly feel strange, because there is a clear contrast with Uncle Qi's fingers.
Uncle Qi’s hands are so cold.
Even after arriving in Guangzhou, Uncle Qi's body temperature could not rise even half a minute. What was wrong with him?
"...Yun Qiao?" Cheng Li raised his voice slightly.
Yun Qiao: "What?"
Cheng Li looked at her helplessly: "Why are you distracted? What bad ideas are you thinking about again?"
Yun Qiao couldn't help laughing: "No, no, I just suddenly thought that you secretly bought roasted pigeon before, and we hid here to eat it. Then Uncle Cheng came in and asked if he smelled the smell. Was it because the birds under the eaves were affected by the sun?
It’s cooked…”
Cheng Li: "Just remember to eat. Master Qi said you were greedy, but I didn't notice it before. You seem to be really greedy."
Yun Qiao: "..."
I'm not, I didn't!
"Whatever you want to eat later, second brother will take you there." Cheng Li said again.
Yun Qiao's stomach was full and she didn't expect it for a moment.
She lay down on the sofa, relaxed her body as if she were boneless, and thought of Uncle Qi again.
You can go eat seafood with Uncle Qi in the evening.
Yun Qiao thought of this and said to Cheng Lida: "Second brother, I'll go back to the hotel early to avoid them worrying about me."
Cheng Li: "Don't worry, I'll see you off."
While the two of them were chatting, Cheng Yin came in. She didn't even knock on the door, but walked into the small study carelessly, holding two bottles of ice-cold soda in her hand.
Yun Qiao sat up.
Cheng Yin handed her a bottle and asked Yun Qiao to stay: "You stay with me tonight!"
