Chapter 174: Marriage is decided
readx;
Ji Cheng suddenly remembered the smile on Shen Che's face when Ling Ziyun invited Shen Che to the banquet. Ji Cheng, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, stomped his feet, his heart trembled, and he didn't know what he was going to say to Ling Ziyun.
If this family affair really came to pass, Ji Cheng really didn't dare to imagine what kind of blow it would have to Ling Ziyun, and in an instant, her mind was full of thoughts, and she even thought about eloping.
It's just that eloping is just a thought, the runner is a concubine, Ji Cheng will never put himself in such a situation.
For today's plan, I can only go to see Shen Che, and the bell must be tied to the bell.
Shen Che and Mrs. Peng lived in Liu Garden, a famous garden in northern Shanxi, and the owner was Liu Shilang of Zhishi. Ji Cheng came out of the Ji family over the wall, and Ji Qing was afraid that she would go to Ling Ziyun in private to make a scandal about elopement, so she specially ordered the guards not to let her out.
Fortunately, with Ji Cheng's dexterity, it is only a little more difficult to climb over the wall than to turn over a book.
When Ji Cheng arrived at Liu Yuan, Shen Che had not come back yet, and the next person asked Ji Cheng to sit for a while, and as soon as she picked up the teacup, she saw Xiao Shi, the wife of the prince of Peng Guo, coming in from outside.
This Mrs. Ji Cheng, the prince of Peng Guo, has also seen it before, a well-known person of Quanfu, loving husband and wife, filial piety to children and grandchildren, whenever there is a happy event in Beijing, she is often entrusted to her, and when Shen Qian gets married, she is the face she hangs.
Xiao pursed his lips and smiled when he saw Ji Cheng, laughing so much that Ji Cheng, who had come to "provoke", couldn't help blushing.
"Archer went out and hasn't come back yet." Xiao smiled.
Ji Cheng blushed and lowered his head, and let out an "oh".
Xiao Shi looked at Ji Cheng carefully, to be honest, although she had seen Ji Cheng before, her impression was only limited to being a very beautiful little girl, and she was suddenly invited by the ancestor of the Shen Mansion to the Ji family to say goodbye, she was taken aback, how could she choose the daughter of the Ji family.
Seeing Ji Cheng at this time, the Xiao family naturally had to weigh what kind of ability Ji Cheng had that moved the old lady of the Shen family and Shen Che.
At first glance, I only think it's too beautiful, although it was already a beauty embryo a few years ago, but it didn't grow in the end, and the figure is still a girl's body, although it is eye-catching, but it is not amazing. But seeing it now, Fang made people understand that there was really a "sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers" in this world, and everyone else was lined with wood slag.
Xiao thought to himself, with such a look, no wonder it could make Shen Che nod. I'm afraid that when this girl lived in the Shen family, Shen Che took a fancy to her, otherwise why didn't Shen Che refuse to marry for so many years, and when she got rid of it, she began to make a fuss?
Xiao shook his head and smiled: "You two children are really. In order to propose marriage to your family, Archer has to come over for a long time with the bumps of my old arms and legs, and it is to show his attention to this marriage, I see, in fact, it is to attach importance to you, right? I'll come and forget it, he himself is not at ease, he has to escort me over, in fact, he just wants to take your Geng post to rest assured. ”
Ji Cheng's face blushed even more, and he didn't know how to explain to Xiao, so he could only shake his head and say, "It's not ......"
Xiao Shi probably had been tired for several days, and he didn't talk to anyone properly, and he couldn't stop saying this as soon as he opened it, "Isn't it?" It's the first time I've seen Archer. And you, I just went to your house this morning to propose, so I came to find Archer? Xiao is Ji Cheng's elder, and he is used to being a person who likes to joke with Yan Yuese, so it doesn't matter if he talks casually to the juniors, "Ah, by the way, you haven't seen each other for several years, right?" Look, I almost forgot about it. He came here counting the day you took off your clothes, but a few days ago, I couldn't leave my house, and he urged me to do it. This man is always impatient when he marries his daughter-in-law. ”
Ji Cheng didn't know how to answer when Xiao said it, so he could only smile wryly.
Xiao patted Ji Cheng's hand, "Don't be ashamed, everyone has this experience." Blessed will be to see thee in the future
At one moment, someone came to say that Shen Che was back, and Xiao Shi laughed jokingly: "Go quickly, I just didn't see anything, and I didn't know that you had been here." ”
Ji Cheng ran away in the wilderness, Xiao's words made her feel ridiculous, was the person she was talking about Shen Che? It's just that another voice said in Ji Cheng's heart, that may not be false, otherwise why did Shen Che come back to propose marriage?
In fact, Ji Cheng really didn't expect that when she was still in the Shen family, the old lady was already looking at her daughter-in-law for Shen Che, and gave an ultimatum, she thought that Shen Che should have been married or married, but she never thought that there would be such a drama today.
The old lady and Princess Ann and Princess were willing to agree to him messing around?
Looking down and thinking about it, Ji Cheng had already followed his subordinates to the place where Shen Che lived.
As soon as Ji Cheng walked into the hall, he saw Shen Che and the Geng post on the table.
"You're here to get this?" Shen Che's gaze stopped on Geng Ti, and then he raised his eyelids to look at Ji Cheng.
Ji Cheng took two steps forward, her purpose was indeed to retrieve the Geng post, but when her finger was placed on the Geng post, it was obviously just a thin piece of paper, but it seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and she couldn't hold it and couldn't put it down.
After a long time, Ji Cheng withdrew his hand and sat down opposite Shen Che.
The thin Geng Tie was still lying quietly on the table.
Shen Che asked, "Have you thought it all out?" ”
Ji Cheng was silent. When people don't really face the choice, they always think that they can be selfless and fearless and move forward bravely, but when the choice really comes, they will realize how cowardly and selfish they are.
Ji Cheng didn't pick up the Geng post, in fact, he had already given up on Ling Ziyun. People think too much, and they always inevitably look ahead and backward. She could indeed be desperate to get along with Ling Ziyun, but that meant that she had to give up the Ji family, and even the Ling family.
Ji Cheng looked at Shen Che's cold eyes and knew that if she rejected Shen Che's proposal, she would face the ensuing suppression of Shen Che. The Ji family and the Ling family have too many shady businesses, and in the face of Shen Che, they are not vulnerable at all.
Shen Che poured a cup of tea and slowly pushed it to Ji Cheng, "It's good that you can figure it out, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to Mrs. Xiao why I suddenly returned to Gengti." ”
Ji Cheng understood Shen Che's hint and couldn't help but say, "Even if I figure it out, can Cousin Che figure it out?" I thought that after this morning's incident, it should be that you can't ask for it to return Gengti. ”
Shen Che's eyes narrowed, and he said sarcastically: "If I return Gengti, wouldn't it be your favorite?" ”
Ji Cheng thought to herself that Shen Che's words obviously meant to be angry, but how could a major marriage event be used to be angry, she had to adjust her attitude, and said in a different tone: "Why did you choose me?" "Ji Cheng never felt that he could have so much charm to make Shen Che ask for marriage to him.
Why did you choose Ji Cheng? Shen Che also asked himself this question, and the old lady also asked him. In fact, there is always only one answer to this question, just because of preference.
If you don't like it, you'd rather not marry.
Just because of Shen Che's heart knot, I don't know how many tears the old lady shed when she was angry. If you don't listen, you don't listen, you don't listen, you can't get oil and salt.
As for Ji Cheng, maybe Shen Che couldn't think through it three years ago, so he couldn't let go of his body, but in the past three years, he has been haunted by dreams, and after three years, he still hasn't diminished at all.
It was precisely because he understood that Shen Che was able to suppress the urge to kill Ling Ziyun on the spot in the morning, if it weren't for the fear that Ji Cheng would be sad, Ling Ziyun would have died several times, and he would still be able to tolerate him jumping on the battlefield in the northwest? Does he really think that his repeated lives are blessed by God?
It's a pity that these things are not enough for Ji Cheng Daoye.
Ji Qing's concubine Pan's words are still in Shen Che's ears, "If you don't like it, you don't like it", how simply did Ji Cheng say it?
It's a pity that even if she doesn't like it, Shen Che can't let it go, but the reason can't be said.
When he came to Jinbei, Shen Che had already planned to talk to Ji Cheng well, even if she ridiculed a few words, it didn't matter, it was always good to let her untie the knot.
As a result, Shen Che witnessed Ji Cheng's affection for Ling Ziyun in Fahong Temple, and also heard her thoughts about himself, how could he say what he was ready to say?
Ji Cheng waited for a while, but didn't see Shen Che answer, so he had to continue to ask, "There are so many people to choose from, why must it be me?" ”
"You haven't taken care of the Ji family's business in the past few years, right? The interests of smuggling ordnance are huge, and your father is no longer very obedient, so I want you to mention to your father that you will use this line of business as a dowry. Shen Che said.
Shen Che can deceive others with this, but he can't coax Ji Cheng. Shen Che's methods are as many as a cow's hair, and he can't control a Ji family, so the private offense of ordnance is already a tight spell of the Ji family. And if Ji Cheng is Shen Che, it will be too late to clear up the relationship with the Ji family.
Although the export of ordnance to the Western Regions is for the country and the people, after all, it is not a fair and righteous means, once it is attacked, it is a matter of killing the head and destroying the clan. As early as the beginning, Shen Che had already said that if the matter was revealed, he would not hesitate to push the Ji family out to be a shield. But now, if the two families become in-laws, once the affairs of the Ji family are revealed, the Shen family is afraid that they will also be suspected of being under the melon field.
How could someone as smart as Shen Che let the Shen family fall into such a quagmire?
Ji Cheng shook his head and said, "Isn't this reason too far-fetched?" ”
"In the past two years, the army has been used in the northwest, the treasury has been empty, and the soldiers' food and salary have been in arrears for several months, and it is all up to the army to raise it itself. Your father agreed to give you a dowry of one million pieces of silver, and then another 200,000 taels of silver every year. Shen Che said.
This reason is even more nonsense, Ji Cheng has read Jing Shijun's account books, even if the two-year campaign costs a lot of silver, it is definitely not worth the second son of the Shen family to sell his family affairs in exchange for money.
But when it came to this, Ji Cheng already knew that Shen Che would not tell him the truth, and he was indignant in his heart, and he was inevitably sarcastic when he spoke, "Oh, in this way, Cousin Che sold it to my family?" ”
Rao is Shen Che is thick-skinned people are thicker than ordinary people, and when Ji Cheng said this, he also choked and coughed twice, "It's hard to say whether it is sold or not, and it may be that someone can't marry and needs to be paid silver by his mother's family." ”
