Chapter 179: Still Playing
readx;
The cousin who used to rely on herself to live in the Shen family suddenly became the real master of the Shen family, and she, the daughter who got married, became a person outside the wall, this gap made Shen Cui's heart very unbalanced. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, Shen Cui no longer wants to say whatever he wants like a cannonball, and now he has learned to scruples. So the straightforwardness of the girl's family has become the sour moment of the woman's family, "If it weren't for my incident, Sister Cheng wouldn't have moved to Rui Yingtang, it's really a blessing in disguise." ”
Ji Cheng knew that Shen Cui had misunderstood that she had put a lot of effort into the old lady to marry Shen Che, but this was a sweet misunderstanding, which was better than thinking that she and Shen Che were greasy.
Shen Cui turned sideways and stood side by side with Ji Cheng, no longer looking at Ji Cheng's smooth and flawless face, where is it like her, a faint spot has appeared on her forehead at a young age. "I remember that Sister Cheng persuaded me back then, but I didn't listen to you. However, why didn't my sister persuade me more back then? Are you happy to see me sink headlong into the mud? ”
Ji Cheng sighed, although this person's superficial temperament will be changed by the environment, but his nature is difficult to change, Shen Cui still habitually counts his mistakes on the heads of others.
Shen Cui stood on tiptoe and leaned over to Ji Cheng's ear, "I only heard about it after marrying my husband, it turns out that my sister also had a heart for my husband back then, and she didn't hesitate to please Qi Hua's little slut." Shen Cui smiled a little threateningly.
Who hasn't done a few stupid things when they're young? Ji Cheng remembered the few eyebrows between himself and Qi Zheng, and he had to admit that he was a little blind.
Shen Cui didn't have any fear on Ji Cheng's face, so he added, "But don't worry, sister, I won't tell the second brother." ”
Ji Cheng smiled, Shen Cui's Sima Zhao's heart was really obvious, how difficult it was in the Qi family to threaten himself so impatiently? These years of Cheng really haven't bothered to inquire about Shen Cui, and now he has to inquire.
Shen Qian's husband, Zeng Xiuwen, had already passed the Jinshi in the examination three years ago, and now he is serving in the Hanlin Academy, just waiting for the expiration of the assessment period to be released as a magistrate for a few years, and then he will be able to rise to the top when he returns to Beijing.
In the past few years, Shen Qian has been living in Jingshi, and no one in Beijing is as well-informed as her, and she is holding her little son at this moment. She is really blessed, she has held two children for three years, the first one is a sister, and the second one gave birth to a son.
Ji Cheng gently pulled his brother's fat little hand, he was only three months old, his eyes were as bright as grapes, and he was so beautiful, the old lady liked it very much, every time Shen Qian came back, she told her to bring two small ones.
"Sister Qian, what's wrong with Ah Cui, it seems to be a different person." Ji Cheng asked Shen Qian in a low voice.
Shen Qian sighed lowly, handed over the whole brother to the nurse who followed next to her, and pulled Ji Cheng to the side to speak, "She is injured, she has not been pregnant in the past few years, and Qi Zheng's mother is not in good health, she just procrastinates, and she only wants to see her grandson, so the Qi family is very anxious." The first few times the third aunt also came to help Ah Cui out, but it's been three years, and she is not embarrassed to care about the things in her son-in-law's room, I heard that three months ago, Ah Cui opened her face to her girl Xianyun, but Qi Zheng himself took another concubine, it seems to be a distant cousin of his family. ”
In this way, Ji Cheng can imagine that Shen Cui is a competitive character, and even a person like Ji Cheng who does not have much interest entanglement with her thinks that Ji Cheng has stolen her limelight, not to mention that she is still two concubines who share their husbands with her, but she is afraid that she will fight in secret.
Ji Cheng covered his mouth with a fan and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Qi is still there?" A few years ago, when she saw Qi Hua and Qi Zheng's appearance, she thought that Qi's mother should have died a long time ago.
Shen Qian smiled and tapped Ji Cheng's shoulder, "You are a narrow ghost." But I've heard that I've been critically ill several times, but I've lost it. It's just that Ah Cui's dowry has failed badly in the past few years, and if you look at the one on her head, it is still the face she wore a few years ago, but it was just turned over the gold. ”
Jingshi people have an unwritten attention to going out as a guest, and the clothes and jewelry that they have worn when they go to the banquet will be avoided when they go out as a guest next time, so that they can show that their family background is solid and decent. How many people have swollen faces and fat people for such exquisiteness, and they have borrowed clothes and jewelry everywhere.
"Why doesn't my aunt care?" Ji Cheng was a little puzzled, but Ji Lan loved face very much.
"If you can manage it for a while, you can't manage it for a lifetime. The outfit that the third aunt bought for Ah Cui would be borrowed by Qi Hua at most once or twice when she took it back, and she complained several times about this. Shen Qian said: "Besides, when the fourth brother married his daughter-in-law, the pomp was very large, and the dowry was also very rich. In a few years, Ah Zheng will also be older, and he will have to marry a daughter-in-law. "Shen Zheng is Ji Lan's second son, who is the fifth in the Shen family, and he is also twelve this year.
Ji Cheng heard Shen Qian's tone, and couldn't help laughing: "Listen to what my sister means, are you starting to worry about the future dowry and dowry of Sister E and Brother Quan'er at this time?" ”
Shen Qian smiled and pinched Ji Cheng's face, "You don't have to worry about it, I've seen your dowry list, your father really loves you, I'm afraid that the entire Ji family will marry you, right?" ”
This is a little exaggerated, mainly because outsiders don't know the Ji family's wealth, Ji Cheng has been in charge for so many years, and the Ji family's wealth has multiplied several times in her hands, which has already exceeded Shen Qian's estimate.
Ji Cheng said: "No matter how much you marry, it's also dead silver, I think I still have to live." ”
Shen Qian's eyes lit up, and she seemed to understand what Ji Cheng meant, she would never speak without purpose, "That's right, I'm also worried about the gold and silver mountains, if they don't live, it will also be a matter of eating the mountains." If you have a heart, then count me in it. ”
Ji Cheng replied, "Okay". Now that the Ji family's business has been completely opened, she feels sad just looking at the pile of moldy silver in the corner of her hand. Businessmen pursue profits, and only when they want to make the silver into living water can they be happy, Ji Cheng is the kind of person who can't see the surplus wealth of the family, and dreams of becoming a person like Tao Zhugong, and she is not afraid of scattering the family's wealth, what she pursues is the process of making money.
"What are you talking about, so happy?" Shen Yun walked over and said.
Ji Cheng and Shen Yun don't have a heart-to-heart, although this second sister from the second room has a smiling face at everyone, and seems to be able to get along with anyone, but who is a fool here, Shen Yun's hostility and contempt for her idea, she thought it was well covered, but in fact, Ji Cheng could see it clearly, so it was just a hypocrisy.
After coping with the seven aunts and eight aunts in the garden for a whole day, when Ji Cheng returned to Jiuli Courtyard in the evening, the red sandalwood bed that took several years to carve and chisel was gone, and the bedroom had changed greatly.
With such a big piece of furniture, it has been a lot of work to move it to Jiuliyuan, and now that it has to be carried down, it is natural to have to move the people again. Ji Cheng thought to himself, Shen Che is in such a hurry, he can't wait to dispose of her dowry on the second day of marriage, and I don't know how many people will come to inquire tomorrow.
Ji Cheng walked through the three re-hung curtains, and saw a large couch in the middle of the room, because there were no pillars around and no hanging curtains, so naturally it would no longer make people feel bored.
Ji Cheng turned his eyes away from looking at the mandarin duck pillow on the bed, his eyes fell on the flying snow yarn, a few hundred taels of silver a horse of flying snow yarn was reluctant to use it to make clothes, Shen Che had to hang it directly to make curtains, but I have to admit that this flying snow yarn is light and transparent, and it is used to make curtains dance in the wind, but it sets off the house like a fairy palace.
Ji Cheng was in a daze, but saw the little girl Juan Bi running in to find Liu Ye'er. "Sister Liu Ye'er, hurry up and persuade Sister Yu Qian'er, she has been crying for a while, and her eyes are swollen."
Liu Ye'er was taken aback, Yu Qian'er is not a person who loves to cry noses, and she is the only one who makes others cry their noses, "What's wrong?" ”
Juan Bi said: "Sister Yu Qian'er was hugged by a man in public!" ”
It's weird and scary, Ji Cheng also figured out later, it turned out that the red sandalwood bed was public, and ordinary mothers-in-law and little servants couldn't lift it, so Shen Che called someone else to carry it. One of the big black men was the one who guarded Yu Qian'er and Liu Ye'er at the beginning.
Yu Qian'er didn't know that Ji Cheng nodded to move the new bed, so he crossed his waist to prevent them from moving, and the big black man was impatient, so he directly stepped forward and clasped his hands around Yu Qian'er's waist and moved her to a place.
It's terrible now, being watched by so many people and being hugged by a man, Yu Qian'er can only cry.
Ji Cheng gently patted Yu Qian'er's back and said, "Don't cry, I will make the decision for you." But if thou hast a heart for that big black man, I will ask him to marry thee, and if not, I will call that man to make amends for thee. As for the rest of the people, you will take care of the whole yard. ”
When Yu Qian'er heard this, she got up with a grunt, "I don't have a heart for him, what is he, his voice is loud, he is rude, and he is covered in hair." I thought I had been rubbed by a dog, and I couldn't make amends for him, and I was annoyed when I saw him. ”
Ji Cheng let out an "oh", "Then why are you crying?" ”
Yu Qian'er blushed, and couldn't say a reason, so she just snorted and said, "Why did he treat me like that in public, I, I ......" said it, but it turned out that he was heartbroken by the man's behavior.
thought that they had some affection for each other, but they knew that Yuan Yong didn't care about her face at all when he acted, so Yu Qian'er was naturally wronged.
Ji Cheng and Liu Ye'er glanced at each other, thinking that Yu Qian'er, the little girl, was obviously moved.
When Ji Cheng returned to the house, Shen Che had just entered the door, and Nishang went up to serve Shen Che to change his shoes and socks, and was about to get up and wait for him to change his clothes, but he heard him say, "Go down." ”
As soon as Ni Shang went out, only Ji Cheng and Shen Che were left eye to eye, Shen Che opened his arms and gestured to Ji Cheng, as a wife, it is really not too natural to serve her husband to change his robe, Ji Cheng can only walk over even if he is unwilling, and reach out to untie Shen Che's clothes.
"I really can't imagine that I can have such a day, but Ah Cheng can wait for a change." Shen Che lowered his head and whispered in Ji Cheng's ear, "In the past, I was the only one who served you. ”
Ji Cheng's hand tightened, and the picture of Shen Che waiting for her to untie her wide clothes flashed in his mind, his heart was ruthless, and his hand was pulled, and the belt that should have been untied was tightened even tighter, Shen Che snorted and said with a smile: "Your strength is really not small, no wonder your appetite is so good." ”
Ji Cheng's hand tightened again, and Shen Che hurriedly grabbed the belt and said, "Okay, it's okay, it's time to break the belt again." Shen Che did it himself, in addition to the robe, and changed the robe that he had prepared for his daily home.
Shen Che said while changing his clothes: "This courtyard thought that there would be relatives coming over on the day of marriage, so there was no big move. I'll call Zhang Debin in tomorrow, and tell him how you want to change it. ”
Zhang Debin and Ji Cheng have heard of it. A garden must be maintained and maintained daily, Zhang Debin is in charge of the repair of the chime garden, and it is his grandfather's grandfather who presided over the construction of the chime garden, and the Zhang family has been responsible for the repair of the chime garden since then.
Since Zhang Debin was called in, it meant that there was a big construction project, Ji Cheng said: "There is nothing that needs to be changed." ”
Shen Che had already changed his clothes at this time, looked at Ji Cheng and said: "This is where you will live in the future, naturally you want to like it, you don't need to worry, worrying about others will inevitably treat you lightly." ”
Ji Cheng said: "There is really nothing that needs to be changed. ”
Shen Che smiled, "Okay then, I'll call Zhang Debin in a few months." ”
Ji Cheng glanced at Shen Che in surprise, thinking that this person was really very caring when he was careful, knowing that she was a new bride who had just entered the door, how could she let Jiuliyuan make a big move, and it seemed that the clean room, doors and windows were also renovated.
"Have you seen the layout of the study?" Shen Che asked again.
Ji Cheng shook his head.
"I'll show you there." Shen Che took two steps forward and led the way for Ji Cheng.
The study is newly arranged, and the window is facing the forest of green bamboos at the foot of Jiuliyuan Mountain, which is pleasing to the eyes. In the middle is a huge red sandalwood case, the ornaments on it are very good, Ji Cheng saw at a glance that the jasper landscape and the fishing boat picture of the pen holder and the jasper double goose pen holder are treasures, what is even more rare is that although the two are not a set, the color is almost the same, and it is a set, which is very rare.
"Here is for you to paint and make notes on weekdays." After speaking, Shen Che added, "I didn't put your abacus." ”
Ji Cheng wasn't sure if Shen Che was sarcastic about himself, so he listened to him again: "I'll put the abacus in the top courtyard for you." You can go to the top courtyard for daily life, but the girls are not allowed to go up, you can only work harder, but fortunately, you are clean and comfortable. ”
Ji Cheng didn't like the rustic style of the top courtyard before, sitting on the ground everywhere, and felt a little inconvenient, but now somehow, compared to the tall and luxurious furniture, she likes the transparent style of the top courtyard more, and she also learned the layout of the top courtyard and the three good houses in the hut where she guarded the tomb in northern Jin.
"But it's good to be in the top courtyard during the day, and you still have to go back here at night." Shen Che glanced at Ji Cheng with a smile, "Some things are better than beds." ”
Ji Cheng was so angry by Shen Che's foul words that he hated to poke him, but Shen Che didn't care, and only tried one sentence and stopped going deeper, and instead said, "I'll take you to the top of the mountain to have a look, and clean up a sword dance platform for you." ”
The sword dance platform is near the water, which is the place where Ji Cheng almost fell into the waterhole when he was drunk on the barbecue on a snowy night.
"I originally wanted to build railings around you, but I was afraid that you would feel restrained when dancing the sword, so it would be best for you to be careful when dancing the sword in the future, or invite you to accompany you." Shen Che said.
Ji Cheng thought to herself that she wouldn't feel that having a railing was a constraint, but she suddenly understood that the person who was most afraid of restraint might be Shen Che herself. A lot of age dragged on and did not get married, not necessarily because of the fear of restraint after marrying a wife. Now I want to come to the three good houses, the four side by side and the top courtyard, all of which are transparent and spacious rooms, and they don't even need partition doors, and in the summer, the doors are removed, and only light yarn is used to obstruct the eyes, so as to minimize the "rules and regulations".
Shen Che led Ji Cheng to walk around the Jiuli Courtyard, pointed to the flower hall at the bottom of the mountain gate and said: "There is for you to deal with daily affairs, and after a while, after you take over the feed, you can meet those stewards and mothers-in-law there." ”
Up and down the Nine Mile Courtyard, it can be said that Ji Cheng has been considered everywhere.
Even if Ji Cheng has prejudices against Shen Che, he has to admit it.
But whenever Ji Cheng's senses for Shen Che were a little better, he could always spoil the atmosphere, "Do you still want to play dice tonight?" ”
