Chapter 114: Queqiao Immortal
There are frustrated people, and there are naturally proud people. Since He Cheng met Ji Cheng, he has been looking forward to getting married and married as soon as possible, and now it coincides with the Lantern Festival, he knows that the girl of the Shen family will definitely come out to swim in the Lantern River, so he waited in the City God Temple early.
The sincerity of the golden stone is open, and it is really He Cheng who waits for Ji Cheng.
"Miss Ji." He Cheng greeted Ji Cheng, but the excitement in his voice could be heard from afar.
Ji Cheng looked up and saw He Cheng, but in an instant, he decided to take Brother Hong'er's hand and walk towards He Cheng. This lantern festival is the grandest festival for unmarried men and women, especially men and women who have been married, just enough to come out to meet after this festival, and the mandarin ducks under the bridge and behind the trees are like this.
"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." He Cheng scratched his head a little embarrassed, "Are you tired of walking, do you want to rest for a while?" He Cheng pointed to a stall emitting white smoke not far away, and just looking at it seemed to smell the aroma.
However, tonight, the stalls around the temple are already full of people, and if you want to sit down and eat something, you will have to queue up.
Ji Cheng nodded towards He Cheng, and He Cheng happily dialed the crowd around him, escorting Ji Cheng and Brother Hong and his party to the stall selling wontons with shepherd's cabbage.
The person sitting in front of the stall stood up immediately when he saw He Cheng coming, bending down and wiping the stool, which showed that he was the one who had taken up a place there.
Ji Cheng didn't expect He Cheng to be so careful, and his good impression of him added a few touches in his heart. Brother Hong was a little sullen, as soon as he saw He Cheng, he knew that this person must be the one who wanted to marry Ji Cheng, and blamed him for snatching his sister Cheng.
He Cheng teased Brother Hong, but Brother Hong didn't look at He Cheng arrogantly, making He Cheng a little shameless, and Ji Cheng didn't help him.
"Brother Hong, do you want to eat radish shortbread?" He Cheng asked, next to the wonton stall was a stall selling radish shortbread and steamed beef, which was fragrant, which made Ji Cheng a little appetizer, not to mention Brother Hong.
In the end, it was a child, Brother Hong couldn't resist the temptation of food, and finally nodded.
He Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and went to the side to buy radish shortbread for Brother Hong in person, Ji Cheng was even more happy when he saw that he was patient.
For a while, the shepherd's cabbage wonton was cooked, and He Cheng boiled the bamboo chopsticks in the boss's pot for a while before handing them to Ji Cheng.
Ji Cheng said thank you, lowered his head and scooped a very tender wonton with a soup spoon and ate it.
He Cheng himself didn't mean to hold chopsticks at all, just looked at Ji Cheng. The eyelashes were long and curled, like a small brush, He Cheng thought it was very beautiful. Look at Ji Cheng's nose again, it is quite and pretty, the mountains are undulating and delicate, and the lips are like the softest peach petals in spring.
He Cheng really loved it more and more, and he only felt that this girl was born for him, otherwise how could he not let go of her qiΔ, and even felt that Ji Cheng was not beautiful in any place.
Ji Cheng naturally noticed He Cheng's fiery eyes, so he could only eat the wontons with his head down and let him look at it.
"I haven't been back to Beijing for many years, and I don't know what snacks are delicious. I still heard from my cousin of the Zhou family, and he said that this is the best taste in the area of the City God Temple. He Cheng said.
Since it is the most delicious, it must be that many people are waiting to eat it, Ji Cheng Yuguang swept a lot of people queuing up next to him, and some couldn't wait to take a bowl and squat on the side of the road to eat. can meet, He Cheng must have been dominating here all the time, so that they can have a place to sit as soon as they come.
"It's really delicious, Gongzi He bothered." Ji Cheng said softly.
He Cheng felt that Ji Cheng's voice was the best, sweet and glutinous, so sticky that his heart couldn't beat.
He Cheng persuaded Ji Cheng to eat more, and teased Brother Hong to play, but the atmosphere was not embarrassing.
Ji Cheng had eaten almost, he couldn't sit here all the time and not leave, and he also delayed the boss's business, so he turned his head sideways and was about to speak to He Cheng, but he saw that he was looking elsewhere.
Ji Cheng followed He Cheng's line of sight and tried to twist his neck, and saw Shen Che and the female Shi who he saw on the boat of Manyuan Xianglou last night walking towards this side.
Although Ji Cheng is a rare beauty, and He Cheng is also handsome, neither his momentum nor style are as outstanding as the two people in front of him.
Shen Che wore a dark gold ruyi cloud pattern robe, a black fox coat, and a gold and white jade crown on his head, the whole person looked noble and upright, handsome and beautiful, when he walked in the crowd, he directly lined everyone around him into nothing.
Ji Cheng secretly sighed in his heart, Shen Che's face was really capable of bluffing.
However, no matter how handsome Shen Che is, as long as He Cheng is not as good as Long Yang, then men rarely look at men intently.
Ji Cheng's gaze quickly moved to the Oiran Female History who was full of garden fragrance. This woman is really not very beautiful, at most she is in the middle and upper posture, and the eyes and tails are slanted, which inexplicably reminds people of the appearance of a fox.
But these are not Huang Zhenzhen's characteristics, her characteristics are in that gourd-shaped figure, anyway, Ji Cheng can't appreciate it, but the men around Huang Zhenzhen who passed by, none of them didn't look dumbfounded, and they almost drooled.
That Huang Zhenzhen's chest is really called Wei'an, Ji Cheng couldn't see it really when it was far away that day, but today it was only a foot away that Ji Cheng could see her bulging chest like a small melon. Huang Zhenzhen's waist is more slender than Ji Cheng's, and because she is too slender, she can't line her fat buttocks so that people can't pay attention to it.
In Ji Cheng's opinion, such a figure is simply called an exaggeration, and men like that kind of exaggeration, because this kind of exaggeration carries a strong hint of charm.
Even He Cheng's whole heart tilted towards Ji Cheng, and he couldn't help but look at Huang Zhenzhen twice.
"Second uncle!" When Brother Hong saw Shen Che, he pounced with a cheer, Shen Che picked up Brother Hong, and saw Ji Cheng in the direction he had just come.
Ji Cheng only had helplessness in her heart, she originally planned to pretend not to see Shen Che, but now it's okay, she can only get up and go to Shen Che's side, He Cheng naturally followed, he also knew Shen Che.
"Cousin Toru." Ji Cheng whispered hello.
"Second son." He Cheng also called with a smile.
Shen Che hugged Brother Hong and exchanged a few words with He Cheng, and touched Brother Hong'er's stomach, "What did you eat at night?" Got watermelon in your belly? β
Brother Hong giggled.
That Huang Zhenzhen really deserves to be the history of the Oiran woman, although Ji Cheng and He Cheng ignored her, but she was not embarrassed at all, and interjected with a smile: "The little boy is so cute, is it okay to play with my sister for a while, my sister will take you to see the fire swallowing, rope walking, and shadow puppet show." β
Brother Hong was in trouble, he wanted to follow Ji Cheng, but he was reluctant to follow Shen Che, his little face was about to wrinkle, but in the end, the second uncle had the upper hand, and Brother Hong looked at Shen Che expectantly, because he didn't say anything.
Huang Zhenzhen welcomes and sends to an unknown number of people every day, and those who do their job must be able to observe words and looks, and they must have eyesight, as soon as she looks at Ji Cheng and He Cheng, she knows that these two people are only afraid that they are engaged people who have crossed the Ming Road.
"Childe, let's play with the little child." Huang Zhenzhen snuggled up to Shen Che's body as if he had no bones, looked at Ji Cheng and He Cheng softly and said with a smile: "It's the Lantern Festival now, how can they take this child to drill the bridge hole?" You say, don't you? Huang Zhenzhen pushed Shen Che's arm coquettishly.
The three words "drilling the bridge hole" immediately made Ji Cheng and He Cheng blush.
That is, Huang Zhenzhen's background dares to say such a joke so unscrupulously.
Ji Cheng was annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't take Huang Zhenzhen, you argue with a woman like her, it's all a matter of self-surrender.
As for Huang Zhenzhen, he also looks down on the so-called nobles like Ji Cheng and them the most, isn't it just that they will be reincarnated, if everyone is from the same background, what can they do? It's not just about being played with.
Huang Zhenzhen's temperament is to laugh and scold without scruples, her Oiran is different from others, those women are all smiling and flattering to please the benefactor, but Huang Zhenzhen is a cheap mouth, and there are people who like her like her.
The ignorance of the first Ji Cheng and He Cheng directly annoyed Huang Zhenzhen, otherwise she would not have been sarcastic.
Shen Che listened to Huang Zhenzhen's words and smiled: "It's still thoughtful." After that, he turned to Brother Hong and said, "Let's go, the second uncle will take you to the play." β
As soon as Shen Che and the others left, they left Ji Cheng and He Cheng, two people who were as blushing as monkey butts, and they didn't dare to look at each other, and the natural atmosphere had disappeared.
"He Gongzi, I should go back." Ji Cheng lowered his eyes and said.
He Cheng answered, escorted Ji Cheng to find Shen Qian and them, and as soon as they met with each other, they saw Shen Wei and Lu Yuan also walking back in a hurry.
Shen Qian looked at the panting Shen Wei and quipped, "What are you doing here?" Is there a dog chasing after you? β
Shen Wei and Lu Yuan glanced at each other, and each other's faces turned red.
Shen Wei couldn't help but complain: "Sister Yuan and I went to the water's edge to put Kong Ming lanterns to pray, but the result was ......"
Needless to say, the natives of Jingshi still don't know what will happen in the shadows by the water's edge?
Ji Cheng and He Cheng's faces were even redder than they could see.
"Those people are too unloving." Shen Wei muttered.
Despite these episodes, they did not affect the popularity of the Lantern Festival at all. Especially on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Get up early to eat the Lantern Festival, and there is a lantern team parade in the evening, which is the highlight of the annual Lantern Festival.
If you ask what is the most lively place in the entire Jingshi on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, just grab someone and ask, and the answer he gives you will definitely be the same, come to Fenglou.
Laifeng Tower is located at the intersection of the north-south thoroughfare royal street and the east-west avenue Changyang Street, the open space in front of the building can accommodate 16 carriages, so each lantern team in the street has to stop and perform a piece of their own trick when they swim in front of the Fenglou.
With such a geographical location, how can you not be lively when you come to Fenglou?
The boss of Fenglou is also a well-run man, how many nobles are Wang Jue in this Jingshi, this night he has to come to Fenglou to see the excitement, he arranged this to offend that, so come to Fenglou simply dismantle all the boxes, from the first floor to the third floor all the windows and partitions are removed together, the tables and chairs are arranged tightly together, some people are proud of their identity, and they don't want to sit with the common people, so they naturally don't come.
However, the people of the Shen family do not have such arrogance. Ji Cheng's location is very good, just on the third floor near the window of the intersection, and the line of sight is very open.
Most of the lantern teams in this parade are from the small courtyards of the major incense buildings in Beijing, and the most dazzling one in the team is their top brand Oiran this year, or singing and dancing, or sword dancing and swimming dragons, or lotus flowers sitting cross-legged, which makes people look at that is called a dazzling.
Other teams are people from the assembly halls on the outskirts of Beijing, each performing the special repertoire of their hometown.
Ji Cheng had to sigh at the prosperity of the Jingshi, the clothes worn by the lantern team and the props placed on the shelves were piled up with silver at a glance, and the minds of the merchants in the Jingshi were also incomparable.
For example, on the lantern boat full of fragrant flowers, Huang Zhen really danced with the pipa, and the fluttering dress on her body was the handiwork of Jingshi Yunshang Pavilion, Ji Cheng thought that once it was over, he was afraid that Yunshang Pavilion's orders would not be accepted.
Ji Cheng couldn't take his eyes off it, and he also applauded and cheered with the people around him.
"Oops, my throat hurts." Lu Yuan smiled, turned around and sat down at the table, picked up the teapot on the table, poured the tea herself, and handed another cup to Ji Cheng, who was standing beside her.
Ji Cheng was also thirsty, and drank all the tea in the cup in one go. It's just that after a quarter of an hour, Ji Cheng felt that something was wrong, his heart was beating faster, not to mention, even his eyes began to glow, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his body, which made people hate to tear off their clothes and enjoy the coolness.
Ji Cheng was shocked to realize that she was on the way, she bit her tongue and restrained herself from looking around inadvertently, only to see that Shen Qian and Lu Yuan were not abnormal, Ji Cheng tried to remember where she was on the road, but she couldn't figure it out.
If there was a problem with the tea, Lu Yuan also drank it, and Shen Qian and the others also drank it, and there was no abnormality.
Ji Cheng took half a step back and gently pulled Shen Qian's sleeve, "Sister Qian, I'm a little uncomfortable, I want to go back first." β
Shen Qian was looking excited, and when he heard Ji Cheng say this, he said worriedly: "But do you want me to accompany you back?" β
Ji Cheng shook his head busily.
As soon as he got downstairs, Ji Cheng took Nan Gui's hand, "Take me to Changchun Hall." β
Fortunately, Changchun Hall is not far away, just two streets away. It's just that today is the Shangyuan Festival, the gate of Changchun Hall is closed, there is no one, Nangui climbed over the wall and entered the hospital only to find a child guarding the door.
Ji Cheng was hot, he couldn't help it, and from time to time there was a red-faced groan in his mouth, Ji Cheng's eyes kept crying, and the pain was as if he had been poked by an iron drill.
"Girl, girl, what's wrong with you?" Yu Qian'er, who followed Ji Cheng out, was so frightened that she cried.
Thanks to Nangui, he still has a little experience in the rivers and lakes, and shook his hands and said: "Girl, this seems to be a hit, a flattering and poisonous." β
Poison? Ji Cheng only felt that the name sounded unfamiliar. You must know that if the people want to poison individuals, it is either rat poison or β‘β‘, such as flattering poison, sweat medicine and so on, which are things that only the rivers and lakes understand.
Ji Cheng only felt that her brain was about to burn, who was harming her? This man didn't want her life, he just wanted her to ruin her reputation, but this hatred came even more viciously.
"Girl, who poisoned you so badly?" Yu Qian'er's golden beans fell more and more.
Ji Cheng couldn't think about it at the moment, and held Nan Gui's hand tightly, "How to solve this poison?" β
Nan Gui's hands were all painful by Ji Cheng's hand, which showed how hard Ji Cheng endured, "This kind of poison can usually be automatically lifted after men and women have sex and intercourse." β
"Is there any other way?" Ji Cheng bit his lip and bit the skin.
Nan Gui was also so anxious that his face flushed, "The β‘β‘ on your body is too strong, if you want to solve it, you must get the formula of the kitsch medicine to prepare the antidote, and you can't make it at all for a while." β
"What if you don't understand?" Ji Cheng took off his hairpin and poked it on his arm fiercely, and suddenly saw blood beads gushing out like spring water.
Ji Cheng's movements frightened Yu Qian'er and screamed, "Girl, girl." β
Nangui can still be stable, "At least blindness and deafness, or death by explosion." β
When Yu Qian'er heard this, she panicked even more, "Then let's go to Gongzi He, Gongzi He is about to marry our girl." β
When Nan Gui heard it, it was this reason, and he was about to answer, but he heard Ji Cheng say: "No." β
If there was nothing about Shen Cui, Ji Cheng might be able to fight with He Cheng, but after Shen Cui's matter came out, not only the people outside, but also the people of the Shen family were complaining about the dirty blood of the Ji family behind their backs. Ji Cheng went to look for He Cheng at this time, and afterwards he was afraid that the He family would refuse to welcome her with the gift of a wife.
There is no reason to talk about this. Ji Cheng was indeed poisoned, and he couldn't help himself, but when others heard it, they would only say why other people didn't fall for flattery and medicine, and Ji Cheng was hit? If it weren't for her own indiscretion, how could she be poisoned?
Before marriage*, no one can forgive even if it is a last resort, this is the suffering of a woman.
Ji Cheng didn't have time to explain these truths to Yu Qian'er and Nan Gui, and looked at Nan Gui with tears in his eyes and said, "Take me to Shen Che." β
Nan Gui was stunned, "But the second son went to Phoenix Terrace today." β
Phoenix Terrace is in the east of the suburbs of Beijing, which was originally the royal courtyard of the former dynasty, but it was destroyed in a fire, and it has never been restored since the change of dynasty. It wasn't until after the founding of the Great Qin that I didn't know who was so powerful that he bought the original Phoenix Terrace and built the current Phoenix Terrace.
However, Phoenix Terrace has long since lost its fame, just quietly standing on the outskirts of Beijing, and the gate has hardly been opened, and no one knows what kind of business it is. But Ji Cheng knew that the Ji family had several big businesses that were negotiated in Phoenix Terrace. No matter which big guy you want to meet, black and white, civil officialdom, the boss of Phoenix Terrace has a way to help you introduce. And the people there dare to do any business.
The most important thing is that Phoenix Terrace can't enter without a recommendation.
Ji Cheng shouted in his heart, my life is resting. Other people flashed in her mind in an instant, Chu Zhen? Shen Jing? Shen Yu?
No, it is inevitable that she will end up being a concubine, but it is a pity that her brother Ziyun has already returned to northern Jin, and far water cannot quench her thirst.
Now only Shen Che is different, with his amorous and obscene, he can treat the night breeze as if nothing happened.
"Do you have a way to find Shen Che?" Ji Cheng put all his expectations on Nangui.
Nangui nodded, "I'll try." β
From Changchun Hall to the suburbs of Beijing, Nan Gui drove the car, and Yu Qian'er vomited directly when she got out of the car, and the bile came out.
Ji Cheng was ordered to sleep by Nangui, and narrowly escaped this catastrophe, when he was awakened, he was confused, his eyes could no longer see, he only felt thirsty, and the water in his body seemed to have been lost, and he wanted to drink water, but he only felt more thirsty when the water was poured down.
In a daze, Ji Cheng only felt that it was Nan Gui who helped her to rise into the air, and then occasionally someone's voice floated by, and they stopped and walked until Shen Che's voice appeared in Ji Cheng's ears.
After the eyes couldn't see, the person's sense of hearing seemed to be doubly sensitive, and the lifesaver appeared, Ji Cheng was so excited that he couldn't help but shout: "Second son." β
This is Ji Cheng's last self-control, she didn't dare to call her cousin, for fear of revealing her identity, her face was covered by a hat, and she only hoped that no one would know that the person who appeared here tonight was her - Ji Cheng.
Shen Che apologized to the people around him, "Wait a minute. β
Nan Gui saw that Shen Che's face was very ugly, and she knew that she shouldn't appear here with her own identity, but she was ordered to protect Ji Cheng, and now that Ji Cheng saw that something big had happened, Nan Gui weighed the importance and resolutely brought Ji Cheng here, of course, there was a relationship between Ji Cheng and Ji Cheng.
Shen Che stretched out his hand and lifted Ji Cheng's hat slightly, glanced at her unfocused eyes, turned to the deep-eyed, burly and powerful Boss Hu and said, "I'm sorry, please ask Boss Li to take the first step, and I'll be there later." β
Shen Che took Ji Cheng from Nan Gui's arms and whispered a few words to her, and Nan Gui immediately took the order and left. Although Ji Cheng was nestled in Shen Che's arms, he couldn't hear his words clearly, buzzing like a mosquito, which was the surface of the toxin spreading deeper.
Ji Cheng's legs couldn't support his body anymore, and he was so thirsty that he felt like he was being put on the stove, so Shen Che was lazy to pick her up, and then it seemed like a cloud, and he didn't know where it was, and what time it was.
By the time Ji Cheng really came to his senses, they were already in the top wing of the Phoenix Tower in Phoenix Taichung. Ji Cheng slowly opened her eyes and saw Shen Che holding a two-inch-long silver needle in her hand dangling in front of her eyes, slowly piercing directly from the Baihui acupoint on the top of her head.
Lingtai was awake, the shadow in front of him was completely removed, Ji Cheng was happy in her heart, the worst thing did not happen after all, she knew that Shen Che knew medical skills, but she didn't know how proficient she was, and whether she could dispel poison for herself, now it seems that she really found the right person.
Shen Che rolled up the cloth bag wrapped in silver needles and put it into the box, "How could you get this poison?" β
"I don't know." Ji Cheng said, she really had no clue beforehand, although she had a suspicious person afterwards, she felt that that person might not be so vicious, and there was no deep hatred between them, and the motive was really not enough.
Shen Che sneered: "If you continue to be so naΓ―ve, nine lives will not be enough for you." β
Ji Cheng was also angry that she was so careless, although Shen Che's words were ugly, she knew that he was angry and indisputable, for her own good.
"Cousin Che, can you cure this poison?" Ji Cheng asked with some anxiety.
