Wanjin Lady

Chapter 290 Putting out lanterns

Oh, a small family from the countryside, only seeing Wei Zheng's high position and power, but not knowing the risks involved. If you try to get ahead with this, you will only end up being laughed at by others!
Everyone in Tianshui Prefecture knows that Wei Zheng’s marriage... depends on the emperor’s will!
Seeing the two people below walking back, Cheng Yunzhang approached the stone railing and waved at them from a distance, "Senior Brother Jinyu, Junior Sister Wen!"

"Senior Brother Xiuwen!"

When Wen Wan raised her eyes, she saw Cheng Yunzhang, and Sun Lanzhi and Madam Sun standing beside him.

Oh, is this the mother-in-law coming to see her son-in-law?

Wen Wan smiled and looked at Sun Lanzhi meaningfully. Sun Lanzhi knew that Wen Wan was teasing her, and her face turned red with shame, but she did not hide or avoid it, and let Wen Wan tease her with her eyes.

Men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. With elders around, what is there to be shy about!
She, Sun Lanzhi, is not some delicate and shy little lady!
"Mrs. Sun! Miss Sun!" Wen Wan returned the greeting from a distance and made a gesture to go upstairs.

Instead, Wei Zheng took two quick steps and went ashore first. The mother and daughter of the Sun family could only salute Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng patted Cheng Yunzhang on the shoulder, then glanced at the mother and daughter with his sharp eyes.

His tone was calm, but he had been in a high position for many years and was Sun Qunfang's superior, so the mother and daughter were naturally afraid of him. "Madam Sun, the security of today's Lantern Festival is maintained by Lord Sun and his men. I just happened to be looking for him for something important. Where is he now? Please lead the way..."

Sun Lanzhi immediately said, "I just saw my father leading a patrol on West Street."

Madam Sun also said, "There are many people at the Lantern Festival today. I will lead the way for the Marquis."

However, when Madam Sun saw that there was a piece of missing from Wei Zheng's sleeve, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

Wei Zheng looked at Cheng Yunzhang meaningfully, and the two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

Even though Wei Zheng didn't understand why Cheng Yunzhang was so deeply in love with Junior Sister Wen, he knew that if these two people were really together, it would be a bloody storm for the Cheng family.

However, Wei Zheng has always been a rebellious person, so he was willing to risk the world's disapproval and help the lovers get married. Perhaps many years later, it will become a beautiful story.

Afterwards, only Cheng Yunzhang and Wen Wan were left.

Cheng Yunzhang exhaled the foul breath almost imperceptibly, and when he looked at Wen Wan, a faint and hazy smile appeared in his eyes, like mist, "Junior Sister Wen."

"Ah?" Wen Wan stared at Wei Zheng and Sun Lanzhi who were leaving.

"Come on, accompany me to light a lantern."

"Senior Brother Xiuwen also believes this?"

"With the Spring Examination approaching, I make a wish to the gods, expressing my desire to pass high school and seeking peace of mind."

The river surface was filled with smoke after the fireworks, but the crowd did not disperse. Instead, they gathered in groups of three or four on the river surface and continued to set off lanterns.

Wen Wan and Cheng Yunzhang walked one after the other along the willow bank, passing through a crowd of two or three people, and finally found a vendor selling lotus lanterns.

Cheng Yunzhang bought a red lotus lantern and threw the pen into her hand, "Junior sister, since you are here, why don't you write one too."

Wen Wan naturally couldn't resist the words "since we're here", and before she even remembered whether it was ambiguous for her and Cheng Yunzhang, a man and a woman, to release lanterns alone, her hands had already started moving.

The lotus lantern has two hands, one on the left and one on the right, one is Cheng Yunzhang and the other is Wen Wan.

Through the thin smoke, Cheng Yunzhang raised his eyes... and looked at the young lady boldly and attentively. Seeing that she was holding the pen with energy and writing a few words on the paper, he couldn't help but be curious and leaned over to take a look. He saw only six words written on it.

——Get rich quickly, get rich quickly, get rich quickly!
Cheng Yunzhang smiled and said, "Junior Sister Wen, your wish is truly simple and unpretentious. Aren't you afraid that the Bodhisattva will blame you for being greedy?"

"Greed is human instinct, just like the need to eat when hungry. It cannot be stopped. Besides, the Bodhisattva has seen many greedy people, not just me."

Cheng Yunzhang seemed to be lost in thought.

Junior Sister Fox always has a unique angle when debating.

"What did Senior Brother Xiuwen write?" Wen Wan peeked over and saw the line Cheng Yunzhang had written: "The flowers bloom the same every year." She smiled and said, "Senior Brother is quite benevolent. If it really were true that the flowers bloom the same every year, the Marquis wouldn't agree. Fireworks displays are expensive." Seeing that Wen Wan had misunderstood his meaning, Cheng Yunzhang shook his head and remained silent. "I'll put it in the river once I've finished writing it."

"it is good."

Cheng Yunzhang picked up the lotus lantern, squatted on the river bank, and then put the lotus lantern into the river.

The lotus lantern floated down the river and soon disappeared.

"Junior Sister Wen, I will be leaving Bozhou in a few days." For some reason, there was a depth in Cheng Yunzhang's eyes that she could not understand. He was still smiling, but the smile was only between his eyebrows, not in his eyes.

"I've left Ah Gui at the Cheng family. If you need anything, you can contact him directly or write to me. Although I'm in a different place, we're still senior brothers and sisters. If Junior Sister Wen has any difficult problems, I'll definitely do my best to help."

Wen Wan raised an eyebrow, "Brother Xiu Wen is loyal."

"I'm not loyal to everyone." Cheng Yunzhang chuckled, his eyes burning. He had just had a glass of wine at the Cheng family's booth, and the alcohol was making his mind run wild, unable to be brought back. "Also, don't rush to get married again."

Wen Wan: "Huh?"

Looking up, I saw the mischievous smile of the man opposite me.

"Since it's your second marriage, you have to be extremely careful."

"Brother, go to the capital and pick out a good one for you."

"In short, give marriage more thought. Life is still long, and Junior Sister must find a man who suits her heart and spend her life together."

Wen Wan couldn't stand Cheng Yunzhang's fatherly remarks. She scratched her head and said, "Brother, you're worrying too much. I'm deeply in love with my late husband and have long since made up my mind to remain faithful to him forever. I won't consider the issue of marriage. All I want now is to rescue my father and make the winery bigger and stronger. That's all."

what……

Be faithful to your late husband.

Junior Sister Wen’s unfortunate late husband.

Cheng Yunzhang had always been jealous of Zhao Heng, but only at this moment did jealousy turn into sympathy.

Zhao Heng...is truly a victim of injustice.

Cheng Yunzhang raised his lip corners, "Junior sister, are you staying faithful to your late husband, or are you obsessed with money?"

Wen Wan: "Why, Senior Brother, don't you believe me? My husband and I have known each other since childhood. Although our time together was short, but... my heart will always be with the bright moon..."

Cheng Yunzhang fell into a strange silence.

He suddenly realized that he had forgotten a question.

What if one day, Zhao Heng, who had been sent away, suddenly came back...

It would surely be a bloody storm.

Tricky.

However, since Junior Sister Wen is not in a hurry to get married, these issues can be resolved slowly. The most urgent task... is that he must convince his family members to allow him and Junior Sister Wen to get married.

This means that he must have a strong force to fight against his tribe.

Cheng Yunzhang's gaze returned to Wen Wan's face, and then he coughed softly, "Anyway, wait for me."

He added with a forced smile, "After I win the first prize in the imperial examination, I will choose a good man for Junior Sister Wen to be her husband."

Oh, then thank you so much.
