Answering Shen Wei's words, Ji Cheng had actually thought about it eight hundred years earlier, and she guessed that Shen Wei would definitely ask these questions.

Shen Wei couldn't tell the truth of Ji Cheng's words, but people like her were not twisted, so she naturally had a set of actions. Shen Wei pursed her lips embarrassedly and smiled, "Sister Cheng, can you all see that I like my cousin?" ”

To be honest, it sounds really not ashamed, but being said by an innocent and straightforward girl like Shen Jing only makes people feel cute, Ji Cheng leaned his head towards Shen Jing, "Yes." ”

Shen Jing's face was as red as a peach blossom in March, "I also know that this is a bit embarrassing, but I can't control myself, when I watched his polo game for the first time, I somehow couldn't pretend to be someone else in my eyes." ”

Do you say Shen Wei is smart or stupid? Anyway, as soon as she said this, Ji Cheng had other thoughts, so she could only stop, just because Shen Jing said it first, and she said it clearly regardless of her daughter's family's reserve.

Ji Cheng had no choice but to pretend to shave his face, "You are a big girl who says this, are you ashamed?" ”

Shen Wei jumped up and went to twist Ji Cheng's face, and the two of them frolicked and ran to the Nine Mile Courtyard.

As soon as he entered the gate of Jiuliyuan, Shen Jing's nose immediately inhaled around, "It smells of barbecue!" Shen Wei immediately lowered his voice, "My second brother must be at home, otherwise Yu Yi wouldn't have started to barbecue." ”

Shen Jing took Ji Cheng's hand and compared the movement of putting his index finger in the center of his lips to her. "Let's go quietly, and those who see it have a share."

Shen Wei is familiar with Jiuliyuan, and pulls Ji Cheng along the mountaineering stone path to the mountain, "My second brother likes the Chaoyun Pavilion on the top of the mountain the most when he is barbecuing, the pavilion is on the ridge, the line of sight is the widest, and he can overlook the entire Qi Garden, I should have guessed that it just snowed heavily yesterday, and it is his favorite weather." Snow removal has never been allowed on the ridge of the Nine Mile Courtyard, and he loves to drink in the snow the most. ”

Fortunately, Ji Cheng was wearing cowhide boots today, and the roads in the chime garden were all cleaned with snow and would not wet his feet, and the snow in the Jiuli Courtyard had not passed Ji Cheng's instep, and when he walked up to the ridge, the snow was already on Ji Cheng's calves.

Ji Cheng and Shen Jing held hands, and walked forward by stepping on holes in the snow one by one, and after bypassing a large cluster of fragrant plum blossoms, Ji Cheng looked up and saw Shen Che not far ahead,

Shen Che did not sit in the pavilion, but sat on a stone the size of a millstone outside the pavilion, clearing a pile of snow in front of him, lighting a fire, and holding an iron chisel in his hand.

Yu Yi was not far from Shen Che's right hand, and he was holding a small brush to brush the meat that was about to be roasted, while Ni Sheng was warming wine in the pavilion.

"Second brother, we were talking about wanting to eat barbecue today, Sister Qian asked me to invite Yu Yi, I didn't expect you to eat it here, just so we can be together, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy." Shen Wei saw Shen Che lift the hem of his skirt and ran forward.

It's a pity that this girl's balance is not very good, she didn't run a few steps, probably tripped over the stones under the snow, and pounced forward when she saw it, Ji Cheng just followed behind Shen Qian, seeing that of course it couldn't be soon, she strode forward to pull Shen Wei, but Shen Ying's forward force was too great, and Ji Cheng hadn't adapted to walking in such a deep snow, so the two of them jumped into the snow one after the other.

Because Shen Wei was in front, Ji Cheng was afraid of pressing Shen Jing, so when he landed, he turned around and rolled to the side, falling worse than Shen Wei. The two girls, Ni Shang and Yu Yi, hurriedly came to help, and when Ji Cheng got up, his face was full of snow slag, and even his mouth was full.

In this way, the wolf not only did not attract people's sympathy, but only heard Shen Che laugh loudly. Nishang slapped the snow off Ji Cheng's body, and hurriedly pulled her to sit down by the fire, "Hurry up and roast it, Miss Ji wants to change her clothes, shoes and socks?" ”

Ji Cheng waved his hand again and again, "No." "She's not so squeamish.

Shen Xun had already walked up to Shen Che angrily at this time, and snatched the iron drill from Shen Che's hand, "Second brother, you didn't come to save me when you watched us fall, and you smiled so happily." ”

Shen Che replied: "You come uninvited, you want to rub my barbecue, can you bow first?" ”

Shen Wei couldn't say anything about Shen Che, he just took the skewer of meat and put it to his mouth, the meat was tender, smooth and delicious, "What kind of meat is this, it looks so tender." ”

"Rat meat." Shen Che replied.

As soon as Shen Xun heard this, the iron chisel was immediately thrown into the snow, but fortunately, Shen Che was able to catch it quickly and survived.

Poor Shen Jing's mouthful of meat has been swallowed into his stomach, and he can only spit out a little spit out after being "babble" at this time.

Ni Shang and Yu Yi were also amused by Shen Wei, "Miss Ying, don't listen to Gongzi, where is this rat meat, it is the roe deer meat that Gongzi Chu sent over this morning." ”

"Which Chu Gongzi?" Shen Jing's ears pricked up when he heard the words "Gongzi Chu".

Shen Che only pretended not to see Shen Jing's appearance, he was almost eight years older than Shen Jing, and he watched her be born and grow up, like a brother and a father, seeing her like this, he was definitely not happy in his heart, so he simply couldn't see her and was not upset.

Shen Che turned to Ji Cheng, who was sitting by the fire, and said, "You better go back and change your body, the illness is just right, and when the snow is moistened, you are afraid that there will be another repetition when you go back." ”

"It's exactly, although I have clothes in Jiuliyuan, but Sister Cheng is half a head taller than me, I'm afraid I can't wear it, my sister is just sick, and I must not get cold again. When my sister went back, if I saw Sister Qian and them, I told them to hurry to Jiuli Courtyard, and we haven't been happy together for a long time. After hearing that Gongzi Chu was not Chu Zhen, Shen Qian turned back to Ji Cheng with a smile.

"That's good." Ji Cheng stood up.

"I'll send you down, it's harder to go down the mountain here than to go up, the road is slippery, I thought I could stump a few monkeys, but the monkeys climbed up the mountain." Shen Che also stood up.

Shen Wei knew that Shen Che was dissatisfied with his call for friends, so he just smiled and didn't answer, "You guys go quickly." ”

Shen Che turned back to Ni Shang and said, "Prepare some chrysanthemum drink and Xuanmai tea for them, and eat too much barbecue on fire." ”

Nishang immediately responded, and heard Shen Che say to Yu Yi: "Looking at Ah Jing, she is only allowed to eat three skewers, and no more is allowed." ”

Today, Ji Cheng can be regarded as seeing Shen Che's mother-in-law's side, and I really don't want him to have such a caring person. But there are not many people in the world who can be used.

Ji Cheng followed Shen Che down the mountain, what he said just now was indeed not a polite word, there were people coming and going in this snow, and the snow slag stepped on into ice slag, and if he was not careful, he would slip and fall down.

Unlike Ji Cheng, who walked sideways cautiously, Shen Che walked as if he was walking on the Sunshine Avenue, but in order to take care of Ji Cheng, he walked very slowly, usually taking one step at a time and stopping one step.

After bypassing the plum tree, Shen Che stopped and said to Ji Cheng: "It seems that you have taken the medicine and the effect is good, stretch out your hand, and I will check your pulse again." ”

Ji Cheng looked back at the mountain, and saw that he was not in the sight of Shen Jing and the others, so he stretched out his hand.

Shen Che cut her pulse, "It's good, don't take that medicine anymore, although it can calm your nerves, but it is not a long-term thing to sleep peacefully by taking medicine." If you still feel sleepy, you can drink a small half glass of Western Regions wine before going to bed, or it may be effective. ”

Ji Cheng responded, she had indeed slept much better in the past few days, and she wanted to take a few more pills, but when she heard Shen Che say this, she dispelled her thoughts.

It just so happened that Ji Cheng also had something to say to Shen Che, so he didn't go any further, "Cousin Che, now that I'm in Beijing, it will take six or seven days for the letters between me and Jin to come and go at the earliest, I don't know what method you usually use to transmit letters, but there is a fast way?" ”

"I'll think of it for you." Shen Che replied, then turned around and went down the mountain, and when he reached the steepest downhill, Shen Che stretched out his hand towards Ji Cheng, "Come down, I'll pull you." ”

It is indeed very inconvenient for the girl's dress to climb up and down, in case she steps on the corner of the skirt, this is not a joke, it is possible to break her leg, Ji Cheng did not twist, put his hand in Shen Che's palm, and with the strength in his hand, he simply didn't leave, and jumped down directly.

"Sister Cheng!" Su Yun's voice sounded a little sharply in the air, she and Shen Qian heard the little boy guarding the door say that Shen Yun and Ji Cheng went to the ridge, so they followed up, and happened to see the scene of Shen Che pulling Ji Cheng's hand.

Ji Cheng hurriedly withdrew his hand from Shen Che's palm, and looked at Su Yun and Shen Qian a little uncomfortably, as well as Shen Cui, which was actually not a big deal, but being called by Su Yun seemed to be something greasy.

"Sister Qian, you came just in time, the road is too slippery, I just fell a lot, my clothes are all wet, and I was about to go back to change my clothes, Sister Ying also asked me to bring you a message by the way, she is already eating barbecue at this time, I will go to change my clothes."

Ji Cheng said a lot of words, turned around and said to Shen Che again: "Cousin Che, thank you for sending me down." ”

Shen Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Ji Cheng's generosity, and Su Yun was only silent.

Shen Che said: "It's just a way, I have something to do when I come down." ”

Shen Qian relieved Ji Cheng and said, "Sister Cheng, go and change your clothes." ”

Ji Cheng nodded and walked down the mountain, only to hear Shen Che call the children on the side to send Shen Qian and them up the mountain, but he didn't send them up in person.

Ji Cheng changed his clothes since he returned to the small cross courtyard, and he was too lazy to move anymore, as for barbecue or something, she was not very interested, so as not to let Su Yun think too much.

Therefore, Ji Cheng changed his clothes and was not in a hurry to go to Jiuli Courtyard, but sat down by the south window, occasionally looking up to admire the plum blossoms in the corner, and his thoughts gradually drifted to Jindi, and he didn't know if his father could convince Uncle Ling.

Some of the information given by Shen Che is also very useful, who can live a lifetime without a handle, let alone a complex family like Tan and Chen.

Ji Cheng was about to fall asleep on the couch in a daze, when he heard a movement in the courtyard, it was the girl Green Ying next to Shen Qian who came to invite her to Jiuli Courtyard.

"Why is the girl crooked here? I said you hadn't seen anyone for a long time. Girl, come with me to Jiuliyuan, the mountain is lively, even your brother Ji Dagongzi is here. The old lady was alarmed, and she sent muntjac meat over, and you were left alone. "The green warbler is like a cannonball.

"I was a little dizzy first, so I was crooked, so I'll go with you." Ji Cheng stood up, Liu Ye'er came over to sort out her clothes, Ji Cheng thought for a while, "It's cold outside, you guys are in the house, I'll just take Nangui over." ”

Nangui knows kung fu, whether it is up or down the mountain, Ji Cheng is not afraid of wolves.

When he arrived on the ridge of Jiuliyuan, Ji Cheng saw that it was really lively. All the brothers and sisters in the family are all together, of course, except for Shen Yu's absence, he has always disliked this kind of occasion.

In addition to the people of the Shen family, the big fat man Chu De is also there, and the roe deer meat was given by him, and it is estimated that he also came to the Shen family to rub the craftsmanship of the feather coat.

Ji Yuan greeted Ji Cheng when he saw him coming up, "Why are you so thin?" ”

Ji Cheng was sick this time, and Ji Yuan also came to see it, but they are very busy with their studies now, and they will have autumn next year, so they can't come back from the academy from time to time.

Ji Cheng touched his face, "I don't have much appetite when I'm sick, I'll take it back in a few days, don't worry about it." ”

Ji Yuan nodded and said no more. He has always been a very strict person, even if he cares about his younger brothers and sisters in the family, he only takes it to heart, Ji Cheng has long been used to it, and he doesn't feel lost, but with Shen Che's brother as a comparison, he still has a slight regret.

No matter how rational Ji Cheng is, people's thirst for affection has always been an instinctive need, and sometimes too restrained emotions are actually easy to hurt the people they care about.

Compared with the introverted Ji Yuan, Shen Jing's cousin is much more enthusiastic.

"Sister Cheng, why are you here so late? Come and I'll give you a barbecue to eat. Shen Jing let Ji Cheng to the edge of the fire, and took the iron chisel with meat from the feather coat and put it on the fire, "Sit down, warm up around the fire, I have already roasted some just now, you eat first." Shen Jing handed over the meat that Ji Cheng had roasted before coming to the fire just now and handed it to Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng thanked him, but he didn't push back, he took it and ate it in small bites, the craftsmanship of the feather coat is really good, this barbecue sauce is just right, if you lose a point, it will be dry, and if you lose a point, you will be greasy.

Shen Jing hadn't found a chance to talk to Ji Cheng for a long time, so he was naturally reluctant to waste time at this time, "Sister Cheng, thank you for giving me snake oil ointment, I used it very well, and the chilblains on my hands are no longer swollen and painful." My classmates all asked me where I got it. ”

"It just works. Why doesn't your academy even have a stove? Ji Cheng asked.

"The master often said that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones, and he also said that after we go out in the future, we must understand the people's livelihood and suffering, so we can be the officials of the people, so the academy never raises a furnace." Shen Jing said.

Ji Cheng let out an "oh", no wonder a boy like Shen Jing would have chilblains, "I don't know much, but I think what your husband said is quite reasonable." But it's not good to freeze your hands, my cousin has to wear some thick clothes on weekdays, and if the snake oil ointment is not enough, I still have it there, and it's not a rare thing, and many people in Jindi use it. ”

Snake oil ointment is indeed available in many places, but there are not so many that are well done and have special effects, and Ji Cheng gave Shen Jing is naturally the special medicine of the people of Jindi.

"Sister Cheng, it's really hard for you to remember my little chilblains when you are sick." Shen Jing was a little emotional as he spoke. Last time, he went to see Ji Cheng with Ji Yuan, he was afraid that his hands would be ugly and scared Ji Cheng, so he specially hid his hands in his sleeves, but he didn't expect Ji Cheng to be as careful as a hair, and when he sent a padded jacket to Ji Yuan a few days later, he also sent him snake oil ointment.

It's no wonder that Shen Jing has a growing affection for Ji Cheng, and because of Ji Cheng's carefulness and thoughtfulness, he feels that he has nothing more to ask for a wife like this.

Yu Shenjing thought that Ji Cheng had the same mind as him, but Yu Ji Cheng was just brushing his good feelings, and the different expectations here caused a sweet misunderstanding.

Ji Cheng looked at Shen Jing with affection, and sighed secretly in his heart, he couldn't say that Shen Jing was indeed the best candidate for a husband, and his family background and character had nothing to say, but it was a pity that there was a mother-in-law like Ji Lan, no matter how good Shen Jing was, even if Ji Lan was not her aunt, Ji Cheng would retreat.

Ji Cheng and Shen Jing were chatting in a whisper, and Chu De's big fat man smiled at Shen Che with a playful face, "This cousin of your family is really amazing, not only coaxing your cousin around, but even Chu Hei's face is not ordinary to her. But she was born well, and I saw that her bones were half crispy. No wonder even Wang Yueniang said that she was better than Wang Siniang, and she was the first beauty in Beijing. According to me, with her figure and twisted waist, there are few people in the world who can compare with her. ”

When Chu De said this, he couldn't help but think of the incident in Tianxianglou. At first, he didn't know that the dancing girl of the day was Ji Cheng, and then he searched for several days, when Tianxianglou was sealed, he also specially ordered someone to find it, and then Wang Yueniang had an accident, and he realized that the dancing girl that day was Ji Cheng, and he was jealous of Shen Che in his heart, his cousin was really a water spirit.

Shen Che glanced at Chu De, "You didn't suffer any pain last time, did you?" ”

Chu De immediately remembered the paper ball that hit his chest, it was really fatal. But he is a cheap person, and he wants to move when he sees the mouth of a beauty. He naturally didn't dare to laugh at the Shen family sisters present, then Su Yun was also engaged, it was not a joke, and only Ji Cheng and Lu Yuan were left.

Compared with the heroic Lu Yuan, Chu De's eyes are naturally more inclined to look at Ji Cheng.

"It's so stingy, can't you say it?" Chu De complained, he actually doesn't like to play with the people of the Shen family the most, he always has to pretend to be serious, according to Chu De's meaning, this kind of barbecue on a snowy day, you still have to find Cui Yihong, sleeves to accompany you, that hand while touching the warm fragrance of nephrite, soft and warm, while eating the wine poured from the leather cup, that is the first pleasure in the world.

Shen Che said lightly: "Ah Cheng is now helping me manage the affairs of the Western Regions, you have a little respect for her, she has been pecked by the finches all the year round, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

In fact, Chu De knew that Shen Che had recruited Ji Cheng, but he didn't expect him to take such a fancy to her, and he couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have married a Hedong lion roar and went home to raise it.

Chu had to put aside Shen Che and move to Ji Cheng's side and sit down, "This barbecue, you can't just pick and choose the thin ones to eat, in fact, the fat ones are delicious, and the oily ones are very fragrant in your mouth, you try it." Chu De handed the iron chisel in his hand to Ji Cheng.

Although Ji Cheng adheres to the principle of never offending people if it is not necessary, it is always a loss for a serious girl's family to get involved with Chu De. The world loves beauty, and people like Shen Che are called suave because they are born too well, but Chu De is obscene like this.

Ji Cheng himself couldn't even avoid Shen Che, let alone Chu De.

"Thank you, Master Chu, I have already had lunch before, and now I have used enough." Ji Cheng didn't reach out to pick it up.

Chu De was not angry, he withdrew his hand and ate it himself.

Shen Jing naturally didn't want Ji Cheng to be close to Chu, so he said: "Eat too much meat, greasy and not easy to restrain it, Nishang has prepared black plum tea, Sister Cheng, go get a cup." ”

When Ji Cheng heard this, he got up and went to the Yunyun Pavilion, Su Yun looked at her back and became more convinced of Ji Cheng's frivolity, otherwise why would someone like Chu De not be close to her, but go to get close to her? Su Yun opened his eyes, as if he felt dirty when he looked at Ji Cheng any more.

After the crowd dispersed, only a mess of snow was left, and black footprints were trampled everywhere, and the snow-white and pure world immediately poured people's appetite like a face covered with pockmarks.

Yu Yi complained to Nishang while cleaning up the cups and saucers, "Hey, I don't know how long it will take to raise snow to cover this piece again, Childe likes snow the most, and now I'm afraid it won't come up for a long time." ”

Nishang said: "There is a lot of snow this winter, and there will definitely be snow again in a few days, don't worry." ”

Feather's face flushed, "What am I worried about?" ”

Nishang smiled softly and stopped talking. As for what Feather Kamo was worried about, he was naturally worried that there was no snow at home and he wouldn't be able to keep that person.

However, Nishang has a saying that is indeed right, this winter is snowy, in order to meet the season, Ji Cheng also specially painted a set of four "plum in the snow, bamboo in the snow, pine in the snow, boat in the snow" flower note, for the sale of Qingzang Building. Although the sales of Qing Note are good, this little bit of son money is really nothing to Ji Cheng, just a name.

When Shen Wei came to look for Ji Cheng, Ji Cheng had just put away her pen, and she saw Ji Cheng's newly painted flower note at a sharp glance, "Sister Cheng, have you made a new flower note?" ”

Ji Cheng let out a "hmm", his eyes only looked at a girl beside Shen Jing, and looked a little raw, "Who is this?" ”

"Yikes." Shen Wei was holding Ji Cheng's newly made snow note and almost forgot his friend, "This is Ah Ning, I only returned to Beijing a few days ago, and Sister Cheng naturally doesn't know her." ”

He Ning is the pearl of the palm of Annan Duhu, her mother is the daughter of the Zhou family, the doctor of Guanglu, the capital teacher, and she returned to Beijing with her daughter this time to congratulate Mrs. Zhou on her birthday. The young grandmother at the head of Shen Yu is also the granddaughter of the Zhou family, so they are close to each other, Shen Jing and He Ning have been playing together since childhood, and it was only later that He Ning went to Annan and separated from each other.

"Sister Cheng, you don't know, I have been in correspondence with her in the past two years that A Ning has left, and in the last six months, she has seen that the paper I use is beautiful, and has been asking me where I came from, this time I went back to Beijing, and I heard that the person who made the note is in our house, and I must be making trouble to come to see you." Shen Wei pushed He Ning in front of Ji Cheng.
