Chapter 210: Marks on the Heart Four
As soon as the carriage turned the corner, Ji Cheng had already seen clearly that the man in the royal blue robe was not Shen Che. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ji Cheng rubbed the corners of his forehead, he could admit his mistake, people couldn't help but laugh at themselves, of course, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief while laughing at himself.
Ji Cheng suddenly became stunned after realizing his ease. What's wrong with her? I thought it was Shen Che when I saw a shadow, and I followed suspiciously, and I rejoiced when the misunderstanding was resolved, but what if that person was him? How is she doing?
Ji Cheng raised his hand and touched his forehead, he couldn't believe that he had fallen to this point, just like Yun Niang back then.
Although Yun Niang is Ji Cheng's mother, Ji Cheng has to admit that she doesn't like Yun Niang's style from the bottom of her heart. always suspected that her father had raised a woman outside, and she had to inquire with her when she heard the wind, and when she came back, she didn't dare to argue with Ji Qing, so she would just hide in the corner of the bed and cry and wipe her tears, and then sour and sarcastic.
Once upon a time, she Ji Cheng also learned Yun Niang's style?
Ji Cheng only felt ridiculous and terrifying, and he simply fled back to the Shen Mansion.
The carriage drove in from the corner gate of the Qiyuan Garden, and as soon as Ji Cheng got out of the car, he heard the little man pulling the horse behind him shouting, "Second son." ”
Ji Cheng turned around and saw Shen Che getting off the horse. Today is rare, and I actually came back in the daytime.
Ji Cheng gave way to the side, Shen Che threw the horsewhip to the little guy, passed in front of Ji Cheng, and didn't give her any handouts, so he went straight away.
The surprised eyes of the people around Ji Cheng's face were hot, but she didn't cry on the spot because she was thick-skinned enough, and she could still go to Jiuliyuan with a calm face.
At this time, Ji Cheng hoped that he could have Yun Niang's ability, and he could cry regardless of it, and grabbed Shen Che's collar and asked him, what do you want? What did she have to do to make him look at her again?
It's a pity that Ji Cheng can't do anything, she is so calm and numb that even she feels like a monster.
Ji Cheng leaned on the window edge in a daze and looked at the tender yellow primroses on the brown branches outside the window, so bright.
When Liu Ye'er cautiously called Ji Cheng, the thought that flashed through her mind was that when Shen Che passed by her first, she seemed to smell the aroma of rouge on his body.
Ji Cheng didn't think that Shen Che had raised any outer rooms outside, if he liked it, he would carry one into the door a day, and who could stop him?
It's just that Shen Che is always surrounded by all kinds of women, either to cover up his whereabouts, or to take advantage of them, anyway, there is never a shortage of fat and thin, and there are a lot of things to think about on the scene.
As for Shen Che, after the anger of the initial betrayal, it gradually became dispensable with the passage of time. Ji Cheng knew that she shouldn't think about it, and there was a suspicion of excusing herself, but she just couldn't help but guess like this.
Seeing that Ji Cheng didn't answer for a long time, Liu Ye'er called again, "Girl, it's time for dinner." ”
Ji Cheng suddenly realized that she had been sitting like this for an afternoon.
Thinking of Fan Zengli's entrustment, Ji Cheng went to the house of the third master of Iron Hat Hutong after having dinner to greet the old lady.
At this time, the third master should also be at home, Ji Cheng originally planned to ask Shen Jing to inquire, but later he was afraid of rumors, so he had to come to the third master Shen Ying.
Ji Lan looked at Ji Cheng and couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Second young grandmother, this is really expensive." ”
"Auntie." Ji Cheng bowed his head and saluted Ji Lan, and bowed to Shen Ying again.
Shen Ying is not only Ji Cheng's uncle, but also Ji Cheng's uncle, the girl's family is already married, and he has to avoid suspicion as a big man, "It's my nephew and daughter-in-law who are here, you can talk, I'll go to the front study to sit down, and there are some official documents to read." ”
Ji Cheng hurriedly said: "Uncle, Ah Cheng is troublesome. ”
Shen Ying had already gotten up, and after hearing Ji Cheng's words, he sat down again, "You said, we are all a family, you don't have to be polite." ”
"You treat her as a family, but she may not treat you as a family." Ji Lan snorted coldly beside him.
Shen Ying frowned when she heard this, Ji Lan was not so temperamental when she was young, how could she become so narrow-minded when she was old, which was annoying, and she couldn't help but reprimand: "Those who are elders don't look like elders, how can you blame those who are juniors for not having the appearance of juniors?" ”
Ji Lan was angry but didn't dare to attack in front of Shen Ying, and Ji Cheng's face was hot when he heard this. Although Ji Lan had the things back then, Ji Cheng did not fulfill the filial piety of his younger generations.
Shen Ying's words were not aimed at Ji Cheng, but instead said to Ji Cheng gently: "Archer daughter-in-law, if you have anything, just say it." "Actually, Shen Ying is very happy that Ji Cheng came to beg for himself, what is there that can't be solved by the big house and the second room, and asks to come to him? This undoubtedly made Shen Ying feel a little bit of face.
Ji Cheng told Ji Yuan that he was going to participate in Enke this year and wanted to inquire about which teacher was the main exam.
Shen Ying stroked his beard, thinking that this was indeed only begging for himself. The children of the big house and the second room are not on the path of the imperial examination, and they are not familiar with the civil officials.
"Okay, I got it. I'm going to inquire, but now the saint's mind has not yet been decided, I'm afraid it's not easy to guess, I'll tell you when there is definite news in a while. Shen Ying said.
Ji Cheng hurriedly thanked him.
Ji Lan pouted and said: "Doesn't Archer have a lot of friends outside, he has always been the most well-informed, isn't it better to discuss something between you and your husband and wife?" Why did you come to your third uncle instead? ”
Ji Lan asked knowingly, and now the family is probably listening to Shen Che's wind of not wanting to see Ji Cheng.
Ji Cheng didn't have a trace of embarrassment on his face, and said with a natural smile: "Where can Lang Jun have an uncle who is familiar with the affairs of the court, so I came over to bother my uncle with a cheeky face." ”
Shen Ying said with a smile: "It's just a gesture, where can it be called tire." If A-Yuan is free, ask him to come to his house, and I will see his homework. ”
Ji Cheng hurriedly thanked him again, and before he finished speaking, he saw Shen Jing enter the door.
As soon as Ji Lan saw Shen Jing, she forgot about Ji Cheng, and asked Shen Jing, "Can you go to your Yue's house to see Ah Rui?" Ji Lan is a typical person who stepped on the flattery, even if Li Rui looked down on her, she was unhappy, but she still endured it, thinking that if Shen Jing was released in the future, maybe she could borrow some power from the Yue family.
Shen Jing said: "I didn't go." It's the palace test in two days, and I don't want to quarrel with her. ”
"Hey, you ......"
Ji Lan still wanted to count Shen Jing a few words, but saw that Shen Jing had already turned his head to look at Ji Cheng and said, "Sister Cheng, why did you come here?" ”
"What Sister Cheng? Why don't you change your name to the second sister-in-law? Ji Lan immediately twisted her brows again to the point that she could trap mosquitoes.
Shen Jing opened his mouth, but he didn't call out the word "second sister-in-law" in the end.
Ji Cheng didn't dare to look at Shen Jing's burning eyes, and only smiled faintly: "I'll ask my uncle for a favor." It's not getting early, and it's time for me to go back. ”
Ji Cheng left in a hurry, and Shen Jing asked Shen Ying with Ji Lan's dissatisfied eyes: "Dad, what is Sister Cheng asking you for help?" ”
Shen Ying is a big man, his heart is not as thin as Ji Lan, and he doesn't pay much attention to Shen Jing's title, originally Ji Cheng is Shen Jing's cousin. "She asked me to find out who this year's examiner was."
Shen Jing let out an "oh", secretly remembering the matter in his heart, thinking that he was negligent, Ji Yuan Jinke was going to end up, and he must care about who the master is.
Ji Lan looked at Shen Jing's appearance, but he was worried that he hadn't forgotten Ji Cheng yet, and if something ugly happened, it would be too late to regret it.
"Ahh Ji Lan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Shen Jing.
"Mother, I know what I'm doing. It's just that Li Rui married in as a daughter-in-law after all, not as an ancestor. It's all sons who are unfilial, and the mother has to endure her face. It's just that this is not a long-term solution after all. This time, I won't bow my head no matter what, she will come back if she wants to come back, and she will leave if she doesn't come back. Could it be that without their house, I can't stand up as a big man? Shen Jing said with a cold face.
Ji Lan was speechless by these words. Shen Ying also said to the side: "Yes, what does it mean for a big man to always think about relying on the Yue family?" Ah Jing is an ambitious person. Besides, when did our Shen family go to the Li family? ”
Speaking of which, Ji Lan was fighting with the two concubines, refusing to lose to them, and refusing to bow her head and beg her family.
After Shen Jing returned to his courtyard, he threw himself on the bed, and countless thoughts surged in his heart. If it weren't for his mother's resolute disapproval of Ji Cheng's entry into the door, they wouldn't have done this now.
Ji Cheng and his second brother became a grudge couple. His second brother got a beautiful woman but didn't cherish it, so he only made Shen Jing feel extremely heartbroken but couldn't do anything. As for Shen Jing himself, he was even more upset when he saw Li Rui's face, that woman was simply useless all over her body, so people hated to use socks to plug her mouth. Now that she has returned to her parents' home, it is really peaceful in the world, and she no longer has to listen to her sour words.
Shen Jing didn't want to think about Li Rui, and Ji Cheng's appearance appeared in his mind for a while. She seemed to have lost weight again, and her face was almost too small to be seen hidden in the front cloak.
Shen Jing sighed, the long night was long but he couldn't sleep, he simply turned over and got up and went to the study, he couldn't read the book, he picked it up and put it down, his heart moved, he simply unfolded the picture scroll, and drew the shadow in his mind one by one, and when he looked at the picture scroll when the morning dawned, his mind was a little calmer.
Although the painting was ink, it was painted so vividly that Shen Jing was reluctant to burn it, so he rolled it up and hid it under the painting jar.
In June, the relationship between Ji Cheng and Shen Che is still as deadlocked as before, no, it should be said that it is worse than before. At least in the past few months, Shen Che had covered up two points in front of his elders, and recently he had been lazy and pretended to take care of Ji Cheng in front of the old lady.
The news of the second young grandmother's fall from grace has also flown from the beginning to the current surprise. If it weren't for Ji Cheng's tough methods, and the old lady didn't treat this grandson and daughter-in-law coldly because Shen Che didn't wait to see Ji Cheng, Ji Cheng, the old slave of the Guogong Mansion, was afraid that he would have been unable to control it for a long time.
The June sun is so hot that people can't open their eyes when they are so white that they can't even open their eyes, and standing just like doing nothing is already making people sweat.
But because Shen Zheng's good days are in the past few days, Ji Cheng has to cheer up his spirit and smile to entertain guests even if he feels that no matter how hard he feels.
That's it, mainly because there are still two troubles at home that have not been resolved, all of which are in the third room.
Li Rui hasn't picked it up yet. Shen Jingdian piloted the second grade, and now he is working in the Hanlin Academy, and he can be released when the inspection period expires. After he was admitted to the Jinshi, the people of the Li family had come to the Shen family several times, just to persuade Shen Jing to say a few soft words to Li Rui, and from then on the husband and wife lived in harmony and beauty.
But Shen Jing didn't know where Niu Jin'er came up, and he didn't bow his head alive or dead, and then he was annoyed by Ji Lan and couldn't get sick, so he simply lived outside and didn't come back.
This is just on weekdays, let the two couples gamble, but now it is a good day for Shen Zheng, and the relatives at home have rushed over, and it is always difficult to say when asked about the fourth young grandmother, after all, it is a shameful thing.
Li Rui also grasped this point, Shen Jing didn't bow her head, she resolutely refused to return to Shen's house.
Seeing that the days are getting closer and closer, there is no movement on Li Rui's side, and the Shen family has already sent someone to pick it up, although Shen Jing did not go, but the face was also given to Li Rui, but Li Rui still held Qiao, saying that he was uncomfortable.
The good-natured old lady was a little angry, and everyone could see that Li Rui was taking advantage of Shen Zheng's family affairs to manipulate Shen Jing.
The old lady said: "Since Ah Jing's daughter-in-law is not in good health, she doesn't dare to bother her anymore in the affairs of the family." The old lady turned to Ji Lan and said, "I have the heart to marry a noble concubine for Ah Jing and find a girl who can be considerate of her own man." Do you see if there is a good candidate? Li Rui has been gone for a few months, and there must be no one to take care of Ah Jing's house. ”
Ji Lan was also irritable in her heart, but taking a concubine did not solve the problem. Now that Shen Jing has entered the officialdom, there will always be housewives coming out to deal with relatives in the future, no matter how expensive the concubine is, she is also a concubine, and she can't get into the eyes of her relatives, she still needs Li Rui to come out and say hello, "Mother, this ......"
said that Ji Lan was smart, sometimes he was indeed a little smart, but at this time he was an elm pimple. Huang watched it from the side, and couldn't help but interject: "What my mother said is that someone has to take care of Ajing's house, but we also have to discuss this matter with our in-laws, after all, getting married is not a feud." ”
The old lady nodded.
Only then did Ji Lan come to her senses, where did the old lady really want to give Shen Jing a concubine, just to beat Li Rui.
The old lady said: "The second family, this time I will work hard for you and the third family to go to Zhenping Changgong." The old lady really didn't feel at ease to let Ji Lan do this alone.
As soon as Huang and Ji Lan left, the old lady turned around and asked Ji Cheng and Cui Long, "You said that your four brothers and sisters will come back this time?" ”
Cui Long and Li Rui are close to each other, and they know Li Rui's temperament very well, she is really a pampered girl, but I am afraid that she may not be willing to go down this step.
Cui Long didn't speak, and the old lady looked at Ji Cheng. Ji Cheng said: "Seeing that it is a good day for the third brother, the fourth brother and sister will definitely come back." ”
If it weren't for Shen Zheng's good deeds approaching, the Huang family wouldn't have spoken much just now.
The old lady looked at Ji Cheng with a smile and said, "Oh, she suddenly understood?" ”
Ji Cheng knew that the old lady was testing people, so he also smiled: "Even if the fourth brother and sister are not sensible, are the elders in her family also ignorant?" ”
The old lady nodded, Ji Cheng's words were reasonable. The first two most protective old ladies in the capital, one is the old lady of the Shen family, and the other is the eldest princess Zhenping. Li Rui is so thick because of the eldest princess Zhenping's waist.
But in the past few months, the eldest princess Zhenping's health has not been good, and these few times people from the Li family have talked about it, it seems that she can't get up anymore. However, even if the eldest princess Zhenping is in good health, the Li family of the Marquis of Zhongwu is far inferior to the Shen family. The eldest princess Zhenping is now bedridden and can't protect Li Rui, and the other elders may not be willing to watch Li Rui die.
Ji Cheng didn't expect it badly, the day after Mrs. Huang and Ji Lan came back, Li Rui came back in disgrace.
Ji Cheng thought to himself that Mrs. Huang was also narrow, if they took Li Rui home yesterday, it would be the Shen family bowing their heads. I don't know what Mrs. Huang said yesterday, anyway, she didn't let Li Rui come back with her, and today Li Rui came back by herself, and the arrogance can be gone at all.
It's just that Li Rui lowered his head, but Shen Jing didn't go back to the house and slept in the study.
It's not that Ji Cheng likes to inquire, it's really that there is no leakage in the affairs of the third room, but whenever something happens the day before, there will definitely be a girl or mother-in-law who will take it out and break her mouth the next day, and use it as a joke after tea and dinner.
This is the reason why there are many people and miscellaneous mouths, even if the management is strict, but the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan.
Anyway, Li Rui's side has stopped, but Shen Cui's matter has made trouble again. It turned out that Qi Zheng's eldest son fell into the pool and drowned.
Now the Qi family has exploded, and Qi Zheng's aunt said that Shen Cui killed her son. Mrs. Qi was so angry that she fainted several times, and Qi Zheng also clamored to divorce his wife.
Shen Cui is the Shen family who returned to the Shen family in a gloomy manner.
Everything was caused by Shen Zheng's marriage, and they were all holding on to the Shen family's desire to settle things for the sake of face.
