Chapter 186: Embark on the Journey

Sister Cheng was drinking the mint tea handed over by Shen Che at this moment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info She doesn't drink tea at night, because she doesn't sleep very well, where do she dare to drink tea.

However, Shen Che's mint tea did not put tea leaves, only because the mint leaves were broken like tea leaves, which was commensurate with tea, and Shen Che's mint tea really won Ji Cheng's heart.

"The fourth brother came to me just now." Shen Che only said the first half of the sentence.

Ji Cheng didn't have any weakness in his heart, but the bad thing was that Shen Che only said half of what he said, and he looked at her with a kind of "I know" full of meaning, which made Ji Cheng start to drum in his heart. Could it be that Shen Jing read and became a book beetle and said something that shouldn't be said?

To be honest, Ji Cheng doesn't have much affection for people who are dedicated to reading, just look at her eldest brother, pedantic and stubborn.

"What did he say?" Ji Cheng answered very unwisely.

He said......" Shen Che paused, Ji Cheng's heart jumped again, and then he heard Shen Che continue: "Why are you staring at me so nervously? What do you think the fourth brother will say? ”

Ji Cheng glared at Shen Che and was silent, this person loved to tease her.

Shen Che smiled: "Looking at your eyes, I think you want to splash me again." Shen Che tugged at his robe and wickedly brushed the non-existent dust from his legs.

Ji Cheng began to blush again.

"Fourth brother came to thank me. I introduced him to a gentleman surnamed Li. This person is a strange material, he is already forty and eight this year, and he has failed many times, but when he guesses the test questions of the imperial examination, he can at least hit one question when he returns to the exam. And when it comes to distinguishing routines, it is even more set and very insightful. It's just that he is poor and famous, and not many people know about him. ”

Ji Chengqi said: "Then if he is so powerful, why does he fail repeatedly." ”

Shen Che said: "There is a kind of person in this world who knows that there is a shortcut to the road, and when he explains others, he is the head of the way, but when it falls on himself, he refuses to bend down. This Mr. Li, who has great ambitions, regards the imperial examination as child's play, analyzes and discerns the methods one by one, and although he is not the first, he wants to prove that his students can use his set of theories to leap into the dragon gate. And when he himself was on the field, the people in the article were sloppy, and he was also quite positive and negative about today, which examiner dared to take him? ”

Ji Cheng nodded, adding a touch of respect to this Mr. Li. But it was inevitable that she would sit in the right seat, and felt that Shen Che had something to say, implying that she obviously had a shortcut, but she was angry and refused to admit defeat.

"So, Cousin Jing thinks it's effective?" Ji Cheng immediately thought of his eldest brother, who could be admired by Shen Che, it shouldn't be bad to think about it, and her eldest brother should also listen to it, and it's okay to hug the Buddha's feet.

"The fourth brother feels that he has benefited a lot." Shen Che said.

Shen Che seemed to deliberately aggravate the pronunciation of the word "fourth brother", and Ji Cheng immediately realized that he was wrong, "Then I'll ask someone to go to Orchid Lane to tell the eldest brother about it, and let him listen to it too." ”

Shen Che sighed.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious, and it didn't seem trivial for the parents to talk about it shortly, Ji Cheng opened his mouth and asked again: "Is things going well with my second brother?" ”

Since Ji Cheng began to guard filial piety, the affairs of the iron mine in northern Jinbei are being taken care of by Ji Cheng's second brother Ji Ze, although before getting married, Shen Che jokingly said that he wanted the Ji family to give this business as a dowry to Ji Cheng, but in fact he did not touch the Ji family's biggest fat now.

Shen Che lowered his eyes and said, "That voice?" I have already passed through the emperor's foundation. ”

Ji Cheng was just a little surprised, she knew that Shen Che must have a way back in this matter. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and if it is exposed in the future, even if he is a relative of the emperor, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the national law.

"What does the emperor think?" Ji Cheng asked.

"The emperor is short of money." Shen Che summed it up in one sentence. Many unbelievable and rebellious things are said at special times but have unexpected gains.

For example, in the two years of the Northwest War, the household department had no surplus silver, and even the palace that was destroyed by fire in the middle of the palace could not allocate silver to the Ministry of Industry for repair.

Jianping had to pay out of his own pocket and allocate money from the inner treasury. The inner treasury is the emperor's private treasury, and it hurts to take out every penny, so Shen Che took the opportunity to go to the Western Regions.

Selling illicit weapons to the countries of the Western Regions and encouraging them to fight in the nest, as long as they are properly controlled, there will be no harm in doing a hundred benefits. As for the proceeds, five cents are now attributed to the inner treasury, and the rest is divided between the Ji family and the Ling family. As for Yuan Qianhe, he didn't move his position, and when he stopped in the future, there must always be a scapegoat, right? And Yuan Qianhe is really not wronged.

Ji Cheng looked at Shen Che and wondered how this person's brain was growing? Did he already settle this day, no wonder he said that there was no pressure at all to marry himself.

Shen Che seemed to enjoy Ji Cheng's suspicious look at the monster, "Seeing that autumn is coming, this year's Central Plains is a bumper year, and the Turks in the northwest will definitely invade the border passes and plunder people and grain after autumn, and we also want to rely on a tough battle to make the Turks no longer make waves within a few years." ”

Ji Cheng had heard Shen Che mention it, but he didn't know why he suddenly talked about it again.

"Is it Zheli?" Ji Cheng cautiously said the name. This name can be regarded as a taboo between her and Shen Che, when Ji Cheng officially led Zhe Li to the Western Regions, there was a matter of Shen Che almost dying in the Western Regions.

Ji Cheng has a relative, but Shen Che doesn't seem to have any mustard, "It's Zhe Li's master." ”

Ji Cheng let out an "oh", in fact, he had no idea about Zhe Li's master, but immediately heard Shen Che add: "My uncle." ”

Ji Cheng's eyes widened suddenly.

Shen Che said: "He was also a member of the Jing Shijun, but he was dissatisfied with my master giving me the position, so he left." He is very familiar with the inside of the Jing Shijun, so this time in the northwest, I used all the newcomers recruited in the past few years. In a few days, I will leave for the northwest, and I will not return until the war is over. ”

Ji Cheng nodded clearly, no wonder Shen Che took the initiative to talk about the affairs of the northwest. "Well, you go, I will honor my ancestors, parents, and mother at home, you don't have to worry about the family."

Shen Che said amusedly, "I have never doubted your ability. ”

Ji Cheng blinked and looked at Shen Che, she wondered if she was thinking wrong.

Shen Che leaned over to Ji Cheng, "Don't you want to go to the northwest with me?" ”

Ji Cheng didn't expect Shen Che to really mean this, and her heart crumbled for no reason, "Me? How to get there? ”

"You just have to think about whether you want to go or not, and I'll arrange the rest." Shen Che said.

Ji Cheng dreamed of going to the Northwest and the Western Regions to walk in person, as a woman, she read all the beautiful mountains in the poems, but her life was confined to the training of the boudoir, and until she died, she only walked around within a radius of 100 miles.

"I'll go." Ji Cheng's eyes lit up like a morning star on a cold night.

Shen Che has always been a man of action, and I don't know what he said about moving the old ancestor, so he asked the old lady to take the initiative to speak, "It's okay for young people to walk around, and I can rest assured that Archer will take care of you." ”

Ji Cheng said with a panicked face: "However, I have only started the affairs at home. ”

"What's this? Can't my wife take care of this family? The old lady said.

Ji Cheng's heart is not made of stone, to be honest, the old lady treated her very well from beginning to end, so good that she deserved it, she put her face on the old lady's knee with red eyes and said, "Old ancestor, why are you so good to me?" ”

The old lady smiled: "You stupid boy, I'm not good to you. It's Archer's little bastard, who threatens me that if you don't agree, I'll take you with me to run away from home and wander the world. ”

Ji Cheng laughed and said, "He won't, he can't bear you." ”

The old lady said: "The bastard boy also threatened me and said that if you don't let you go, don't think about hugging your great-grandson." ”

Ji Cheng couldn't laugh anymore, his face was flushed, and he was a little weak-hearted.

The old lady finally said, "Go ahead, don't have a psychological burden." When I was younger, I wanted to walk around, but, you know...... "The old lady's mother-in-law wasn't that open-minded."

"Therefore I wish you young people would be free from restraint. Now that you don't have children, you can still go out, but it won't be so convenient in the future, and you can't bear it yourself. The old lady said.

Some people, who have been tortured themselves, hate that others have been tortured once. And some people, who have been wronged, are reluctant to suffer it again in the next generation. The old lady is clearly the latter.

When Ji Cheng saw Shen Che at night, he couldn't help but complain, "I thought you had any good way to hide it from your family, you are good, to tell you the truth, why haven't I seen you have such an advantage before?" Also, I'm going to help you, so it's like you're taking me to play. "It's so eye-catching, there must be a lot of gossip behind it.

Shen Che shook his head and smiled: "You woman is so difficult to serve, isn't it good to tell the truth, all lies have to be fulfilled by countless lies, and I am tired." But when I can tell the truth, I don't usually lie. What's more, a person like the ancestor, if you tell her the truth about everything, she will be even happier. ”

Ji Cheng raised her eyelids, was Shen Che teaching her how to coax the old lady? "Hehe, when I can tell the truth, I never lie." Don't say you're very principled, okay?

Shen Che said: "That's good." For people like me, if you tell me the truth in everything, I will be happier. ”

Ji Cheng was silent, talking to Shen Che was the most brain-draining, and he always felt that he meant something.

"When are we leaving?" Ji Cheng changed the subject.

"Three days later." Shen Che said, "You can start packing your luggage, your girl doesn't have to bring it, the situation in the northwest is more chaotic, in case you don't protect it, it will hurt your master and servant." I asked Nangui to follow you, but she is not good at serving, so I will give you another girl to take care of your daily life. ”

The next morning, the girl Shen Che found for Ji Cheng came to her, obviously not arranged temporarily, I am afraid that she had already been prepared.

"What's your name?"

"The slave has no name, please give the girl a name."

Jing Shijun has a lot of business, and cultivating girls for the rich is also one of them, and Bao Jun is satisfied with all kinds of skills.

"Then let's call it Lotus Seed." Ji Cheng said. The lotus seed is painstaking, but it can clear the liver and eyes.

This lotus seed is a capable person, even if Ji Cheng doesn't like her to be the person sent by Shen Che, but he can't stand her coolness, everything that is handed over to her will be done properly for you, and there is nothing she won't do.

It's no wonder that Jing Shijun wants to do the business of selling girls, they are indeed conscientious businessmen.

In the evening, when Ji Cheng packed up her clothes, she was entangled in most of her dresses, and it was inconvenient to go to the northwest to ride a horse and walk, so she asked Shen Che: "I'll go to the northwest with you, do you want to change your identity or something, it's convenient to act?" ”

Shen Che raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is convenient for you?" ”

In fact, before Shen Che asked this, Ji Cheng didn't react, her brother Ziyun was in the northwest.

Ji Cheng glared and said, "I'm not as dirty as you think." ”

Shen Che retracted the gaze that fell on Ji Cheng's face, turned around and said, "If it's convenient, just wear men's clothes." ”

Ji Cheng has always had men's clothes, and it is really inconvenient for her to talk about business with a girl, so she will pretend to be a man, but most of the time she can't hide people's eyes, it's just a fig leaf, and everyone just turns a blind eye.

I can't say that Ji Cheng wears men's clothes, because he is tall and draws his eyebrows roughly, and he is really a little male and female. In addition, Shen Che got the fake Adam's apple out of nowhere, hidden in the stand-up collar clothes, and it was really not easy to find the flaws without careful observation.

Shen Che stood behind Ji Cheng, looked at her appearance from the dressing mirror, and slowly raised his hand and put it on Ji Cheng's shoulder, "I've always been curious......"

Before the curious words were finished, Shen Che's palm slid down the smooth silk shirt to Ji Cheng's chest and pressed it.

Ji Cheng's first reaction was to shrink his chest, and then lifted his foot and stepped on Shen Che's instep.

Shen Che withdrew his hand in pain and said with a smile: "When I first saw it, I was always curious about how such a big lump was wrapped in a chest cloth like a man. ”

Ji Cheng only replied to Shen Che with hatred, "Stinky rascal." ”

Shen Che was already only a hooligan, "Hey, I don't know if it has an impact or not, if it goes on like this for a long time and becomes a pancake, it will be a loss to me." ”

Ji Cheng is absolutely thick-faced in this regard, but Shen Che can't come out, pointing at Shen Che's nose for a long time, "You ......".

"So when it's free, it's better to let it out often to breathe." Shen Che gently brushed Ji Cheng's hand away, "Have you thought about changing your name?" Is it still called Ah Cheng? ”

"Why can't it, just call Ji Cheng, it's done." Ji Cheng said.

Shen Che stroked his hair, "Well, yes, good sign." ”

The news that Ji Cheng was going to follow Shen Che out to visit his master who was not yet the head of the Divine Dragon soon spread in the Shen Mansion. Of course, seeing the master is just an excuse, Shen Che's master estimates that the white bones are exposed, but everyone doesn't know about it.

took the new daughter-in-law to visit his master, and it was a reasonable excuse, but after Li Rui said two words of envy, there was only envy left.

Unexpectedly, on the day Ji Cheng and the others set off, Shen Cui came back again. There is a sentence I forgot to mention, it turned out that Shen Cui's defection to her mother's family on Ji Lan's birthday that day was unsuccessful, and she was sent back by the old lady on the second day, and she had to bear the result of the cause she planted.

However, last time Shen Cui came back crying, this time he was in a hurry, and he didn't go to the Iron Hat Hutong, and went directly to Jiuli Courtyard.
