Ji Cheng glanced at the back of Shen Yu leaving, wondering if he was sick and confused when he was sick, but in fact, Shen Yu was completely no different from a stranger to her. If there is really something interesting, it will definitely not even have a look, and the attitude is very alienated and cold.

What kind of person is Ji Cheng, if she doesn't see a rabbit or an eagle, if it is unprofitable, she will never do it. She weighed that she would have to test for a few more days, if not, then withdraw quickly, so as not to hurt her relationship with Lu Yuan and be embarrassed to meet each other in the future.

Yes, at this time, Ji Chengke remembered his relationship with Lu Yuan again.

Since Ji Cheng agreed to Brother Hong, he naturally wanted to take him to the garden to play. In winter, the garden is relatively lonely, and you can neither go up to the trees to dig birds' nests, nor go into the water to fish.

And since Brother Hong fell into the water in East Lake that time, he has a sense of fear of the lake, and he doesn't even dare to sweep his eyes in that direction when he passes by the water's edge.

Ji Cheng saw it in his eyes and thought to himself that this was not good, he had to get up wherever he fell.

"Brother Hong'er is afraid of water?" Ji Cheng asked.

Brother Hong'er's little face suddenly turned red, "I'm not afraid, but my grandmother won't let me go to the water to play anymore." ”

Older people are always like this, always thinking about how to keep their children out of danger, but not teaching them how to face danger. Ji Cheng took Brother Hong'er's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, isn't it just drowning, do you know how I learned to swim in the water?" ”

Speaking of this, Brother Hong was very curious, he listened to the girl's discussion, it is not new for men to be able to drink water, but it is too fresh for women to be able to drink water, especially women in the north.

Ji Cheng said: "I also drowned when I was a child. ”

"Huh?" Brother Hong'er is even more curious.

I can't say that Ji Cheng really has the talent to take care of children, in fact, she has never drowned, she was born, she loves to flutter when she is in the bathtub, and then she went out to play with her second brother, in the summer, the boy swam in the blister to cool off, she looked greedy, learned their movements on the side, practiced in the bathtub for a few days, and then dared to go to the blister to practice. At the beginning, she choked on several mouthfuls of water, holding the mentality of dying or dying, but she was tossed up.

Ji Cheng lied to Brother Hong'er, this was to make him feel empathetic. "I fell off the boat when I was swimming in the lake, there were many people in a boat, and the first thing to save people was to save them, and I was far away from them, and I almost died. After I was rescued, I was afraid of the water for a long time, but then I thought, will I never go to the water to play in the rest of my life? What if this happens to me the next time and no one saves me? I was so ruthless that I practiced in my own shallow pool. ”

Ji Cheng said simply, but Brother Hong was still afraid, "I ......"

"Don't be afraid, I won't let you learn to drink water now. It's all frozen on the water, I'll teach you how to skate. Ji Cheng said.

"Will you do too?" Brother Hong simply admires Ji Cheng, and children admire these people who can do anything.

"That's it." Ji Cheng stretched out his hand to pull Brother Hong'er, and Brother Hong stepped back, but he was afraid that the ice would crack again.

Ji Cheng smiled: "Coward." Last time, you took a hammer to smash the ice, and I don't know where you got the strength, you smashed it so hard at a young age, if the ice surface cracked, it was easy to crack along the crack, and the weather was warmer a few days ago, and the ice surface was not as thick as it is now. ”

Although Brother Hong followed Ji Cheng to the West Lake, he still only dared to watch from the shore, and Ji Cheng did not force him. In northern Shanxi, almost the entire river can freeze in winter, and you can cross a carriage, so almost everyone can skate.

Ji Cheng is one of the masters. She has special shoes, which were beaten by the old blacksmith in northern Jinbei, and there is a row of blades under the cowhide shoes, of course, they are all unopened.

Ji Cheng put on his shoes, walked back and forth on the ice twice, and stomped his feet from time to time, which was to prove to Brother Hong that the ice was strong.

However, walking on the ice is not a big skill, and it can't attract the interest of children, although Brother Hong looks at Ji Cheng interestingly, he has no intention of trying.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Ji Cheng kicked his hind legs, slid hard, and with that strength, he soared, spun twice in the air, and then landed steadily, and then slid away on the ice, the action was like a swallow shuttling in the clouds.

Speaking of which, Ji Cheng is also very scheming, in fact, she thought about how to tease Brother Hong before she brought him to the garden. The skirt she wears today is a rare front and back placket, such a skirt is best used when skating, it is not in the way, if the skirt is attached to the leg when the skirt is forward, one is not good-looking, and the other is easy to fall.

And Ji Cheng's ice blue yarn skirt, when skating forward, the yarn fluttered layer by layer, setting off the whole person with a fairy spirit, the ice blue flashed with a little silver light, which made Ji Cheng look like a Guigong fairy who was about to fly up at this moment.

After two weeks of difficult movements, Ji Cheng made another action of raising his right leg and squatting on the ground to spin quickly, and the whole person turned like a spinning top.

Not to mention Brother Hong, even the girls and mothers-in-law who passed by next to them found it very interesting to watch on the side.

But back to Shen Yu, after he left Changheng Courtyard, he was going to go to the outer courtyard, but because he thought about Ji Cheng, he didn't go out immediately. In the past, Ji Cheng rarely went to Changheng Courtyard when she had nothing to do, and Shen Yu knew that she was avoiding suspicion, but why did she suddenly come after she got well this time?

Rui Xue suspected that Ji Cheng was out of a woman's sensitivity, while Shen Yuqi suspected that it was because of his cautiousness.

Shen Yu remembered Shen Che's evaluation of Ji Cheng, he had ambition and means. So did she go to Changhengyuan for herself?

In fact, it's not that Ji Cheng's mind is too shallow, but everyone knows that she hasn't decided on a marriage at her age, and she came to Beijing to ask for a family business, and she can't blame Shen Yu for thinking too much.

If Ji Cheng came for herself, then Shen Yu would immediately be on guard against her. She didn't come because she didn't feel hopeless, but now she came because she saw her own thoughts? If this is the case, Shen Yu has to admit that Ji Cheng is indeed very scheming.

It's not bad for a woman to have some of her own calculations, but if it's too powerful, it's not so good.

Shen Yu thought of this, and heard that Ji Cheng had taken Brother Hong to the garden, so he turned around and went to the garden.

When Shen Yu arrived at the West Lake, he only heard a cheer, but Ji Cheng was doing a spin in the air, but it was really not a coincidence, Ji Cheng was also unlucky, he hadn't practiced his skills for so long, and the first success must have a little luck, and this time he fell back to the ground unsteadily, and he fell to the ground with a "chirp".

Everyone present was helping Ji Cheng say a word in their hearts, "Ouch, it hurts." "Not even Shen Yu is excepted.

Ji Cheng got up, didn't dare to rub his butt in front of everyone, endured the pain and said to Brother Hong: "It's not just now, I'll do it again if I make a mistake." ”

This meeting is naturally a beautiful two consecutive turns, and two in a row.

"Teach me, teach me, Sister Cheng, teach me." When Brother Hong saw that Ji Cheng was so powerful, he forgot that he was afraid, and ran over to her, fortunately Ji Cheng picked it up quickly, otherwise Brother Hong would definitely fall on the ice and die of a dog.

"Okay, it's not impossible to teach you, but this is my unique skill, called ......" was originally called Hua Kai and Ti, but he couldn't say such a name to a child, so Ji Cheng temporarily changed his name: Shuanglong Zhuan.

This name is majestic, and Brother Hong wants to learn it when he hears it.

"Okay, let's bow first." Ji Cheng was also tired, so he slid up and took Brother Hong to the shore and sat down.

Brother Hong really knelt down and kowtowed to Ji Cheng respectfully, and made a disciple courtesy, and Ji Cheng accepted it so generously, "Okay, one day as a teacher, a father for life, do you listen to what the teacher says as a disciple?" ”

Brother Hong replied loudly, "Listen." ”

"Okay, then the teacher said, let's eat first, and learn another day." Ji Cheng laughed as soon as he spoke, and Brother Hong knew that it was Ji Cheng who teased him when he heard it, and last time she lied to him that he was a goblin, she also teased him like this.

"Second uncle." Brother Hong was about to make a fuss, when he saw Shen Che next to him, and hurriedly complained: "Second uncle, you are commenting, I just knelt down and kowtowed to Sister Cheng, and she turned her head and didn't teach me." ”

Shen Che touched Brother Hong'er's head, "Your Aunt Cheng is putting on a shelf to restrain you, you fool." ”

Brother Hong slapped his head, "That's right." ”

When Ji Cheng saw Shen Che coming, he immediately reined in, as if he had suddenly changed just now, and shouted quietly and elegantly, "Cousin Che." ”

Shen Che said: "I can't see that you skate enough to walk." ”

Ji Cheng said in a low voice: "It's okay." ”

Shen Yu was standing on the side of the tree next to Ji Cheng and Shen Che, he looked at the two of them from the side, and could see that Ji Cheng was quite jealous of Shen Che, not that Shen Yu had imagined that he admired Shen Che.

After Brother Hong saw Shen Che, he immediately saw Shen Yu with sharp eyes, and naturally he didn't dare to pester Ji Cheng to skate anymore, so he respectfully ran to his father and stood in front of him.

The first month is the most frequent time for human exchanges, and Shen Qian and the others are not here today, so Ji Cheng didn't find time to teach Brother Hong on the second day, because this day was a banquet guest in Jing'an Houfu, that is, Shen Qian's maternal grandfather's house.

When you arrive at the Jing'an Hou Mansion, you will naturally meet many acquaintances who you don't want to meet, for example, that Wang Siniang is the niece of the Jing'an Hou Shizi's wife Wang, and Wang Siniang, a guest at the Jing'an Hou Mansion, will naturally arrive.

Wang Siniang's age is not much different from Shen Qian, Shen Qian is going to get married in May this year, and Wang Siniang's family affairs have not yet been decided, it should be a surprising and discussing, but the Wang family is now hot, Wang Shufei and Wang Concubine almost monopolized the harem, and even Huang Zhaoyi had to retreat.

In this case, everyone naturally thinks that Wang Siniang is hesitant to marry because the Wang family is picky, and people also have the capital to be picky.

Therefore, all the wives who have undetermined parents and nephews in the family are even more enthusiastic about Wang Siniang, after all, Wang Siniang's age is not young, and no matter how good the family background is, she can't afford to drag it out, and she feels that she may be able to pick up a bargain.

Wang Siniang entertained all the noble ladies like a fish in water, and she knew at a glance that she could support a room without even teaching when she married back.

As for Ji Cheng, she has always been a foil on such occasions, but her posture is elegant, her conversation is extraordinary, and she is neither humble nor arrogant, but a few more ladies pulled her to talk for a while. The plan of the year lies in the spring, and this year the people who need to say goodbye are the time to move.

Today, Mrs. He Zhou led He Ning to come, and as soon as He Ning saw Shen Wei and Ji Cheng, she took the initiative to come over and laugh together.

When Mrs. He saw Ji Cheng, she asked, "Why haven't I seen you come to our house for so long?" Ah Ning has been thinking about you, what new notes have you published recently? ”

Ji Cheng replied, a new version of the "Four Seasons Brocade" flower note, and it will be printed after the Shangyuan Festival, "I was sick a few days ago and I haven't been able to go to the house to greet Mrs. ”

Mrs. He was immediately overjoyed, "That's good." Why didn't I see your aunt today, I still wanted to talk. ”

Ji Cheng's eyes widened slightly, wondering if he had misunderstood, how could Mrs. He suddenly mention her aunt? Shen Cui's matter has gotten out?

But Ji Cheng looked at Mrs. He's expression and didn't look like an espionage, and this lady Ji Cheng had been in contact with a few times, she was really not a person in the deep city government, Ji Cheng could understand why she, a person who liked to be a scholar, would marry into a "rough" family like Anxi Duhu, first of all, the head of the family is simple.

"Auntie, she's sick, so she didn't come." Ji Cheng said.

"Well, I'll see her in a few days." Mrs. He said again.

To be honest, Mrs. He and Ji Lan can be said to be ignorant in their lives, and they really can't do such a trick, the only possibility is that Mrs. He has taken a fancy to Ji Cheng and wants to hire her as her daughter-in-law.

The ripples in Ji Cheng's heart gradually spread, this is the first time she has been in the capital for so long, and she has been looked at by others, and a feeling of being promoted will rise in her heart more or less. The so-called soldier dies as a confidant, and Ji Cheng has an indescribable good impression of Mrs. He.

Mrs. He saw that Ji Cheng's face suddenly turned red, and she also knew that this girl had guessed her mind. She is quite satisfied with Ji Cheng, even if her son is picky, she can't find a fault with this appearance, and young children are greedy for beauty. Although her family's family background is really not bad, but she stays in the frontier all the year round, many noble daughters in Beijing are unwilling to marry far away, and those local girls Mrs. He looks down on them, and He Cheng's family affairs are hanging like this, this time Mrs. He was immediately satisfied when she saw Ji Chengke, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also had a topic to talk about.

Ji Cheng has no particular resistance to marrying far away, and in the future, whether it is the Ji family or Shen Che's side, the focus of affairs will be in the Western Regions, and it will be easier to do many things with the relationship between Anxi and the protector of Anxi.

The stone in Ji Cheng's heart was finally half put down, and he was happy in his heart, and his spirit was naturally different.

"What happened to Miss Ji, with a smile on the corners of her eyebrows and eyes?" Wang Siniang came over and said hello.

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "I saw that old plum bloomed well, so I was happy." ”

"I thought it was Miss Ji, something good was coming." Wang Siniang said with a smile.

Ji Cheng's heart trembled, Wang Siniang's eyes were really poisonous.

"I heard Mrs. He say that Miss Ji is the owner of the Qing note, but I really didn't expect it, so I said that the painting style is not something that ordinary painters can paint." Wang Siniang said again.

"It's over." Ji Cheng said modestly, she had no intention of talking about it, but Wang Siniang seemed to be very interested in her.

"Oh yes, Miss Ji's injury is already healed, last time Chu Shizi said that I knocked you off the horse, and I was so ashamed that I had no face to be, and I was okay after the loss, but he still frowned coldly when he saw me, but it was rare for him to be so anxious for himself." Wang Siniang said with a smile.

Ji Cheng answered lightly, "Probably because I am a relative of the Shen family." Ji Cheng blocked Wang Siniang's provocation with a word.

Wang Siniang smiled brightly, "Oh, that's it, I thought the Ji family was going to have a legend again, last time it was Qi Gongzi who knelt in the snow for three days and three nights to ask for marriage, and I don't know how lively it will be next time, but it's really enviable, why are the women of your Ji family so capable?" ”

Ji Cheng's eyelids drooped, I was afraid that the ugly thing that Shen Cui did was known to Wang Siniang, and he was stinging at Ji Cheng at this time.

But Ji Cheng can be regarded as okay, how could Wang Siniang ever see a little person like her in her eyes, but now Ji Cheng is like a thorn in Wang Siniang's eyes, and it can be regarded as an alternative ability.

"No matter how capable you are, where can you compare to the girl of the Wang family." Ji Cheng replied in twos and twos. There are three Wang girls, and two of them entered the palace to be mothers, isn't it capable?

Speaking of the two ladies who entered the palace of the Wang family, Ji Cheng originally thought that Wang Yueniang should take action, but one or two months have passed, and there has been no movement at all, which makes Ji Cheng doubt Wang Yueniang's ability again.

However, only two days later, I heard a big news from the palace that Wang Yueniang was pregnant.

Emperor Jianping was so happy, at this age, he could successfully sow seeds in such a short time, and the side also highlighted his manly ability. The emperor is also a man, especially an old man, and his vanity in such things is definitely not small. Moreover, there are not many sons of Emperor Jianping himself, and there are only two so far, and the probability of a child dying is too high, so if you have more children, you don't have to worry about no one inheriting this country.

Wang Yueniang's pregnancy can be said to be a catastrophe, this is not directly from Wang Concubine to Wang Zhaorong, it is a little worse than Huang Zhaoyi, who gave birth to the second prince.

A pregnant woman can make a day even if she has no heart disease, not to mention that she is still full of illness like Wang Yueniang. Within two days of being held in the happy pulse, Wang Yueniang shouted that her stomach hurt, and the imperial doctors were all helpless, and the last Zhang Tianshi of Wudou Midao entered the palace and did a magic service, which was also strange, Wang Zhaorong's stomach was immediately settled.

However, the piece of meat in Wang Yueniang's stomach is settled, and someone can't settle down. It is said that this little dragon son is too noble, but the son of the Jade Emperor has gone down to the earth, this blessing is too great, and relatives must go to the Taoist temple to pray for the little dragon son's practice.

The qualifications of this relative finally fell on Wang Siniang's head.

What kind of place is the Taoist temple, even if it is a substitute practice, it can be regarded as half a monk. And it's still a question whether this will come out in the end. And Wang Siniang is seventeen years old, and when Wang Yueniang is pregnant in October, she will be eighteen years old.

Wang Siniang didn't expect Wang Yueniang to make such a move with her, such a trick of cutting flesh with a blunt knife is not something that a fool like Wang Yueniang can come up with.

To be honest, this "practice and prayer" is all, and everyone knows what is going on. But if you don't go, if there is really something wrong with the piece of meat in Wang Yueniang's stomach, then Wang Siniang will be a big sin. Wang Siniang can't break such a bureau at all, it is said that Wang Yueniang will rectify her, but why would Wang Yueniang rectify her sister?

When Wang Siniang knew the news at that time, she was so angry that she couldn't run to the palace and yelled at her dim-witted emperor brother-in-law, what kind of rotten thing Wang Yueniang was before entering the palace. But Wang Siniang also knows that it is not advisable, if Wang Yueniang is damaged, the Wang family will also be unlucky, Wang Shufei is old, she can't fight Huang Zhaoyi, and the Wang family still has to rely on Wang Yueniang. The Wang family has fallen, and Wang Siniang is nothing.

Before Wang Siniang left Beijing, she went to the palace as usual to "thank you" and met Wang Yueniang with deep sisterhood.

After the palace people were screened, the false smiles on the faces of the two sisters naturally disappeared without a trace.

Wang Yueniang tiredly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and yawned, "Since I have a body, I want to sleep all day long, if my sister has nothing to say, please go back." ”

"Mother, do we have to be like this? Everyone outside is watching our Wang family's jokes. I know that Niangniang is uncomfortable, but the person who harmed you is the Shen family, not me. Wang Siniang said softly.

Wang Yueniang said: "Isn't it all thanks to my sister's ideas?" ”

Wang Siniang said: "I didn't know that the people of the Shen family would be so arrogant. ”

Wang Yueniang waved her hand, "It's all in the past, what else to do for it." But it's funny to say, it was my sister who gave me the idea to clean up Shen Cui and Ji Cheng, do you know who gave me the idea this time? ”

Wang Yueniang's eyes narrowed, and she only heard Wang Yueniang say: "It's Ji Cheng, you said that this heaven and earth are reincarnated, is karma coming too fast?" ”

Wang Siniang said in surprise: "You and her? ”

Wang Yueniang pursed her lips, "She is now a dog under my command, biting wherever she wants." My sister didn't worry a lot about her, right? I really didn't expect Chu Zhen to fall in love with her but not you. Wang Yueniang giggled.

The Wang family wants to get the support of the clan, in case the Jianping Emperor is in the future, although the attitude of the Chinese military officials is important, but the matter of the prince is a royal matter after all, if there are people in the clan who support the great prince, then the great prince will be even more justified.

In fact, it stands to reason that the eldest prince is the elder, and Huang Zhaoyi's son should not be in any danger to the eldest prince, but the uneasy place is that Emperor Jianping has not been established. If Emperor Jianping had the intention to set up a second prince, as long as Huang Zhaoyi was sealed, the second prince would become a son-in-law, and his status would be different.

Therefore, the Wang family was anxious to get the support of the clan, so they started the idea of Chu Zhen's family affairs. But who knew that the Wang family went to test the princess of Nanjun but did not get a response, and when Chu Zhen was in Nanyuan, he directly gave Wang Siniang's face for Ji Cheng. Otherwise, how could Wang Siniang tear up with Ji Cheng with her self-deprecating identity?

Although Wang Siniang knew that Wang Yueniang was provoking herself to deal with Ji Cheng and wanted to kill people with a knife, Wang Yueniang must also hate Ji Cheng, but Wang Siniang also hated Ji Cheng, even if she knew that she was being used, she wanted to clean up Ji Cheng's anger.

As for what Ji Cheng is doing now? She's about to have great news.

Mrs. He and He Ning are about to go back to the west in the spring, and He Ning's family affairs have also been decided, he is a nephew of the Zhou family, which can be regarded as a kiss.

And Mrs. He's second son, He Cheng, also arrived in the capital in the past two days, and made a special trip to pick up Mrs. He and He Ning, of course, it is also a matter of passing to see the future daughter-in-law.
