Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 75 Facing all living beings in this mortal world, there are only a few lonely ones

"Old Wei, you said that my elder brother who has been missing for thirteen years is back?!"

As soon as Chen An boarded the carriage prepared at home, he doubted his ears.

He stared at the servant in front of him.

This old Wei has been working for the Chen family for almost ten years. His children are also working for the Chen family. He is one of Chen Rong's confidants. There is absolutely no reason to suddenly lie to him.

Especially this extremely ridiculous lie...

Old Wei nodded: "Yes, the two boys from the nursing home came up to report this morning. I thought they were careless and met a liar again..."

He sighed: "As soon as I went there, the young man standing at the door had his eyes covered with a piece of black cloth, but he looked exactly like Mrs. Gan when she was young, only more handsome!"

"I was shocked and quickly went to see Mrs. Gan. As soon as she saw the young man, she immediately shed tears and said that the eldest young master can't be wrong."

"We just talked for a while and convinced the master. Now we have arranged to move into the east wing."

When Chen An heard this, he frowned deeply:

"Just based on this person's appearance? Have you not verified this person's identity?"

Although for the sake of reputation, they claimed that Chen Kuang was lost back then, the two brothers and sisters naturally knew everything about the deeds of this eldest brother who was always present despite his apparent absence in the family.

After all, it was Chen Kuang who sacrificed himself to save the lives of his family.

Just listening to Gantang's words over and over again over the years has made my ears feel calluses.

It's not that I was bored, but when Chen Kuang left, he was only four years old and his little sister was only three years old. When she grew up, her memory of what happened at that time was already very vague.

As for Chen Kuang himself, he has no impression at all, and naturally he does not have as deep an obsession as Chen Ronggantang and his wife.

After living for so many years, a big brother suddenly appeared.

The first reaction is naturally to confirm the authenticity of the other party's identity. Today's Chen family is different from what it used to be. The family business is one thing, and the current situation of Jishao County and Caobang is another.

Chen An was just afraid that the enemy he had offended was causing trouble...

If this is really the case, then the other party has really hit their weak spot, and they must find out as soon as possible to avoid endless troubles.

Old Wei shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I didn't give orders, so we servants don't dare to investigate privately."

He whispered: "I saw the master chatting with that... eldest young master for a while, and he seemed to have cried. Thinking about it, he should be inseparable, and he cannot be a liar."

"But one thing is strange. When the eldest young master came, he brought a few female companions with him. He said that the war was in chaos and the companions who were fleeing together needed to stay for a while."

Old Wei had a strange look on his face: "I looked at it, and there was a mother and daughter there. The lady was almost as old as Mrs. Gan."

People who come together to escape the chaos of war will never really do good deeds.

The taste of the eldest young master... is really difficult to evaluate.

Chen An was silent for a while and said: "Okay, I understand. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. Just send more people to protect your parents and report to me the movements of my 'big brother' from time to time."

It's really not easy for Old Wei to get involved in this matter, he will investigate it himself.

However, before that, he wanted to see who this "big brother" was!

Chen An pulled up the curtain and got in. The carriage sped towards the Chen Mansion.

…

Because the private school was closer to Chen's residence, Chen Ning had already stepped into the courtyard of the east wing before Chen An arrived.

Chen Ning also inherited her appearance from Gantang. She has a good appearance, a pair of black eyebrows like distant mountains, autumn-cut pupils like ripples, and a thin black mole at the corner of her eye, which adds a bit of softness and inner charm.

Her eyes are clear and her temperament is elegant. She is dressed in a lotus-colored skirt that makes her look like a weak willow supporting the wind, and she is graceful and graceful when she walks.

Chen Ning just came back from private school, and she was holding a book in her hand.

In the distance, before anyone could see anyone, I heard a melancholy piano sound coming from the yard.

Just listening to this short paragraph, Chen Ning's eyes suddenly opened wide.

The sound of the piano was sublime and transparent, refreshing and refreshing. It was far better than the piece she had the pleasure of hearing played by the Tianyin Pavilion monks the year before!

There is no need to even compare. Such a huge difference makes it easy to judge.

This is...her elder brother she has never met before is playing the piano?

Chen Ning subconsciously held his breath, unwilling to disturb the sound of the piano, lest it suddenly dissipate.

She didn't make a sound, but stopped and watched from a distance for a while.

But unfortunately, this one is coming to an end.

After about half a quarter of an hour, it stopped.

The surrounding bamboo leaves were originally rustling in the wind, but the moment the music of the piano quieted down, the bamboo leaves suddenly stopped and everything was completely silent.

The whole world was quiet for a moment, the clouds stopped and the wind stopped. Even the sparrows on the tree tilted their heads in confusion and stopped chirping.

And a moment later, the wind and clouds dispersed, and everything was as before.

Chen Ning felt lost, closed his eyes, and was still immersed in the music of the piano for a long time.

She is known as the "talented girl of the East Courtyard". She loves books and the piano. She believes that the piano is an elegant sound that can reflect people's heart sounds. For example, the ancient legend Boya Ziqi can use the piano to communicate with each other.

When she came, she was also worried that the big brother who suddenly came to the door might be a fake person.

But at this moment, all the worries in my heart have dissipated.

This song alone cannot be from a narrow-minded person!

From this song, Chen Ning heard the broadness and openness of not caring about the world, but he also vaguely heard the loneliness of walking alone in the world of mortals.

It seemed like a figure from behind, facing all living beings, but it seemed to be a distant figure.

Chen Ning couldn't help but feel strong curiosity.

Open-minded people are common, but lonely people are rare.

Only by not being understood, by being detached and independent, can there be this kind of loneliness.

That's why all the sages in ancient times were lonely...

Her eldest brother seemed like an outsider!

"Ning'er, why didn't you say anything when you came?"

Gan Tang's voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

"What are you doing in this corner? Come and meet Brother You!"

Chen Ning opened his eyes, took a deep breath, blinked, and was immediately pulled by Gan Tang to the stone table.

Chen Kuang turned to look at his younger sister and smiled slightly: "Xiao Ning."

The figure in Chen Ning's imagination turned around, revealing a clear and indifferent face. Unfortunately, a blindfold blocked the eyes she wanted to see most.

The eyes can penetrate the mind. Since the sound of the piano is so amazing, the person must also have a pair of very beautiful eyes.

Yes, her eldest brother is blind...

The glorious outsider has flaws.

Chen Ning felt a tug in his heart, and suddenly he had a real feeling about the regrets thirteen years ago, and he quickly said: "Brother!"

Chen Kuang hummed and said with a smile: "My eldest brother is poor and doesn't have much greeting gifts, but I remember that I often played house with you when I was young. Fortunately, I have been traveling for many years and my cooking skills are quite good. I will show you my skills next time."

Chen Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly: "Okay!"

She didn't think Chen Kuang's words were shabby, but felt they were particularly cordial.

Between relatives, how valuable the gift is is secondary, not as important as true love.

One meal is enough!

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere between the two brothers and sister, Gan Tang suddenly felt something in his heart and said, "It's almost time for lunch, and there is a small kitchen in the east wing... Why don't you let Kuang'er cook, and Ning'er and I will help you."

…

When Chen An arrived late, he asked the servant and ran straight to the kitchen. What he saw was an extremely strange scene.

Gan Tang and Chen Ning were at the stove, carefully watching Chen Kuang chopping vegetables.

Gan Tang said anxiously: "Be careful, Kuang'er doesn't get it!"

Chen Ning said curiously: "Brother, this fruit tastes so weird. Can it really be used for cooking?"

Chen An took a closer look and saw that what the young man cut with his knife were several round, bright red fruits.

He explained amusingly: "This is, um... a tomato. It should be called a passion fruit now. Very few people eat it. I didn't expect to find it. You will know if it tastes good or not after you eat it."

"?"

A question mark popped up above Chen An's head: "Weren't those passion fruits collected from those barbarian fleets a while ago and going to be presented as a tribute to the emperor?"

Two updates, really two updates, but every time I can’t finish writing before twelve o’clock...
