After relaxing his vigilance, Ji Cheng's eyelids fell together, and he fell asleep in less than three breaths.

It rained in the mountains at night, and the raindrops hit the water with a "click" sound, and it didn't wake up Ji Cheng, who was used to sleeping lightly, and originally thought that he would be woken up by freezing at night, but when he woke up in the morning, his hands and feet were all warm and warm.

At this time, there was a hint of white in the sky, Ji Cheng felt as if there was something on his face, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Shen Che sitting next to her with his back against the wall, her face very close to his thighs.

Did he sit like this all night? Ji Cheng was a little apologetic, and the bedding was occupied by her, causing Shen Che to have to sit alone.

"Awake?" Shen Che opened his eyes and looked down at Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng sat up, the braids that he had braided last night were already loose, there were pink pillow marks on his cheeks, his face was pink, his sleepy eyes were half-charming, and the slightly open neckline of his midcoat revealed a few small collarbones, Ji Cheng rubbed his eyes, and saw Shen Che leaning over and bullying him.

She leaned back, but the back of her head was fixed by Shen Che's outstretched palm, and then Ji Cheng listened to Shen Che say, "If I want to do something to you, what conditions do you want?" ”

Ji Cheng looked at Shen Che's eyes, the white qi in his snort was scattered in front of her eyes, she didn't think Shen Che was joking, so she raised her hand and wanted to slap Shen Che.

Shen Che grabbed Ji Cheng's hand, turned over and pressed her back on the futon, "It's me who is wrong." This kind of thing should be consensual, not conditional, then you will think that I am humiliating you. ”

The tip of Shen Che's nose gently touched and slid on Ji Cheng's cheek, and Ji Cheng said in annoyance: "Who is wishful thinking with you?" The distance that had been shortened last night collapsed in an instant, and Ji Cheng knew that Shen Che must not have a good heart, and she shouldn't let her guard down.

"Oh, then why didn't you go to He Cheng on the day of the Lantern Festival? Instead, they come to me from near and far? Shen Che asked.

Ji Cheng didn't say anything, just raised his leg to kick Shen Che, Shen Che stretched out one leg and pressed Ji Cheng under him, telling her to not move, she could only twist in a small area, not to add fun.

"I'm afraid He Cheng will look down on you from now on? Or is the He family unwilling to marry you as a wife? Shen Che sighed: "Why don't you dare to take any risks, you are not such a forward-looking person." You came to me thinking that I could kick me away when I was done with it? Feel safer when you know that the cub is available? After killing people and killing people, you are very skillful. ”

Ji Cheng's mind was pierced by Shen Che at a glance, and his intuition was embarrassed, "But I didn't do it voluntarily, if it wasn't for ......"

Shen Che gently bit Ji Cheng's earlobe, "Don't make excuses if you're stupid." Ji Cheng, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. ”

Ji Cheng panicked, she understood what Shen Che was hinting at, so he took himself to Sanhaoju and told him his past, which was all tempting her to jump down.

But this pit is too beautiful, it is simply a pile of gold and silver, Shen Che grasped her lifeline and knew what she wanted most. Money, power, sex, he put a qiē in front of her, just to see if she can resist the desire and hope of reaching out.

On weekdays, Ji Cheng may only care about the immediate interests as soon as his brain is hot, but the strange thing is that a person suddenly appeared in Ji Cheng's mind, she was unwilling to lose to a Qinglou female history, she could do it and leave decisively, and from then on she cut a knife in Shen Che's heart, why did she Ji Cheng have to give in?

Ji Cheng straightened his waist, as if he was cooperating, but in fact, he bent his legs slightly, planning to take advantage of Shen Che's ignorance and let him eat hard, and he couldn't remember the lesson if it didn't hurt.

Shen Che chuckled, and Ji Cheng screamed in pain because of the bite of the partition.

The birds in the mountains and forests suddenly startled and fluttered into the sky, and even the fish that had just emerged burrowed into the cracks in the stones.

It wasn't until the sun was shining that someone slowly pushed open the door of Miyoshiju from the inside, and through the suddenly opened gap, you could see someone lying quietly on the futon, revealing a snow-white back, the spinal groove was sunken, and the butterfly bones were thin and elegant.

Shen Che put on his shoes and walked down the stairs, bent down at the door of the firewood and picked up the bamboo tube placed outside the door, there was a bouquet of flowers and cranes in the bamboo tube, pink and white, this is also a famous product in the camellia, because of the vitality, so the beauty is dazzling.

Shen Che walked back into the house and put the bamboo tube with the flower crane feather in front of Ji Cheng's eyes, "Lao Luo sent it, probably to exchange it for a few more wild vegetable cakes." ”

Ji Cheng was originally lying motionless on his stomach, which was quite a bit loveless, but when he raised his eyelids slightly, he could see the broken rhizome inserted in the water but still struggling vigorously and vigorously.

Is it wilting from now on? Or do you want to bloom the most vigorous petals and then hang down?

Ji Cheng stood up and sat up, stretched out his fingertips and gently touched the petals of the flower crane.

"Do you need me to take you to the clean room?" Shen Che asked.

"I'll do it myself." Ji Cheng said coldly, "Can you go out for a while?" ”

Shen Che walked out as he said. Ji Cheng wrapped his robe and struggled to get up, the meal just now was like a beast biting, Ji Cheng was actually fine, at most there were red and purple traces, Shen Che's back couldn't be seen, and the bedding was full of bloodstains.

But the most painful thing must be Ji Cheng, she gasped for cold air before she stood up, the roots of her legs softened, and she fell on the pu mat and made a "bang" sound.

Shen Che stood by the door, heard the sound and came over to pick up Ji Cheng, looked down at her and said, "What is strong?" If you still have the strength, why don't you do it again? ”

Ji Cheng scratched Shen Che's face as soon as he stretched out his claws, but he was able to hide quickly.

The distance from the main house to the clean room was not far, and it was only a few steps away for Shen Che's long legs, so he put Ji Cheng on the side of the soup pool and sat down, "Do you want me to serve you?" ”

Ji Cheng picked up the gourd scoop next to him and poured water on Shen Che, Shen Che chuckled and flashed out, Ji Cheng was so angry that he wanted to smash the gourd scoop over, but he immediately thought about it, and he had to pick it up himself later, so he gave up again, this is the disadvantage of being too rational.

Hot soup can greatly relieve the soreness of the body, but the wound in the heart can no longer be cured. Ji Cheng's mind was blank, his hands were folded on the edge of the pool, his chin resting on his arms, and he stared blankly at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

The more crystal clear the snow-capped mountains are, the more they reflect Ji Cheng's current situation, which is mired in the quagmire and unable to extricate himself.

Ji Cheng's nose was sour, he raised his head and refused to let the tears fall, the more he was trampled on, the more he couldn't shed tears. At this time, only reason and calmness can help her get out of the predicament.

Ji Cheng soaked in the hot soup for half an hour, then got up and dressed, and went directly to the kitchen.

My stomach is already rumbling with hunger, and this is the point at the moment, anyway, isn't life just about eating, drinking, and sleeping.

There were fresh wild vegetables in the kitchen, as well as a few wild boar bones, and a piece of fresh wild boar, and a basket of wild eggs, Ji Cheng's brows jumped, did that old Luo want to make enough cakes for ten days at a time?

When people are in pain and have no way to explain it, it is not a bad thing to have something to do.

Ji Cheng first washed the wild boar meat with warm water, then rinsed it with water for a quarter of an hour, broke the leg bones and added a little rice vinegar and then boiled the soup.

As for pork, it is braised pork that is roasted over low heat, and finally the wild vegetables are blanched in water and put on a plate, which is just right to combine the oiliness of the braised pork.

These dishes are all time-consuming dishes, and the rest of the time, Ji Cheng adjusted the batter and spread out the wild vegetable cakes one by one.

In the entire Sanhao residence, except for the kitchen where Ji Cheng was located, the rest were silent, Ji Cheng occasionally looked over, but he didn't see Shen Che's figure, he must have gone out.

At this moment, Shen Che was sitting opposite an old man in gray linen clothes, combing a Taoist bun, and having half a hundred hair. There was a chess game in the middle, Shen Che held the white, with the chess pieces between his fingers, and he didn't put it down for a long time.

"The breath is messed up, and the heart is messed up." Old Locke.

"If the heart is not disturbed, how can it be peaceful?" Shen Che put down his son and fought with Lao Luo.

Lao Luo picked up the sunspot and groaned, "I see that the barriers of your Dayan Realm seem to be loosened again, but the foundation is unstable, so I am confused and angry." ”

"Well, with God's help, it's good to break through this hurdle." Shen Che didn't take the words of confusion and anger to heart at all.

Eight years ago, there were signs of a breakthrough in Shen Che's Dayan Realm, but at the beginning, he was not willing to make a breakthrough in Fang Xuan, and now that he has to meet Ji Cheng, it is definitely with the help of heaven that he can make a breakthrough again after eight years.

Although Fang Xuan is self-reliant and self-reliant, her heart is the softest, if Shen Che really uses her to break through the "red face and dry bones" level, she will definitely hurt her deeply and never recur.

As for Ji Cheng, he is the most resilient weed, no matter what happens, he can get back up in the end, even if he can stick his head out of the brick crack. Shen Che wasn't worried about her acceptance of Cheng Dù, not to mention, this was still a weed that had already been black from the roots.

Lao Luo stopped talking and concentrated on playing chess, even if Shen Che was upset, he could still let him have five sons.

"I smell the aroma of braised pork." Shen Che put a son in the back of the dragon and trapped Lao Luo's entire swimming dragon.

When Shen Che walked into the kitchen, Ji Cheng was putting big bones, sauce bones, braised pork and wild vegetable cakes into a basket, and when he saw him come in, he said, "This is for Lao Luo." "Thank you for the flower crane feather he gave her.

"I'll send it to him." Shen Che took the basket.

Shen Che went quickly, and when he came back, Ji Cheng had just set up the dishes and chopsticks.

Shen Che's appetite was very good, and the amount of food Ji Cheng cooked was not small, and he didn't expect that there would be no soup left in the end.

Ji Cheng got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Shen Che said, "I'll help you." ”

Shen Che was really helping. He was doing the fetching of water and washing the dishes, and Ji Cheng was just responsible for drying the bowl handed over by Shen Che with a cotton cloth.

"You're pretty good at washing your dishes." Ji Cheng said.

Shen Che smiled sideways, "When I was a child, I practiced martial arts with my master, and we two men naturally couldn't let my master clean up the chores." ”

"And you're still saying you can't cook?" Ji Cheng grabbed Shen Che's loophole and said.

Shen Che said: "Compared to you, I really don't know how to cook." ”

After washing the dishes, Ji Cheng's eyes hurt when he looked at the pile of bedding next to him, and he wanted to clean it up but he was unwilling.

"Where to put it, Lao Luo will find the aunt in the nearby village to clean it, and she will also clean the clothes you change into here, and you don't need to bring winter clothes next time." Shen Che handed a wooden box to Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng directly ignored Shen Che's hintful words, took the wooden box and opened it, and there were about thirty black pills lying inside.

"What is this?" Ji Cheng's hands turned white from the exertion.

"Avoiding the child. Don't drink the soup anymore, the big yin and cold things are very harmful to the body. Shen Che glanced at Ji Cheng, "It's okay if you don't want to eat." ”

Before Shen Che's words fell, Ji Cheng had already taken one and put it in his mouth, it was useless to even use water, he chewed it and swallowed it, the medicine was bitter and unforgettable.

After Ji Cheng swallowed the medicine, he walked quickly to the water's edge with the medicine box, opened the medicine box in front of Shen Che, poured all the pills inside into the water, and then threw the medicine box out with all his might.

When Ji Cheng turned around, she could no longer restrain her feelings, she knew that she should be calm now, and she should even be with Shen Chexu, maybe she could stab him to death with a golden hairpin when she shared a bed one day, or she could get a lot of benefits from Shen Che, but everyone was sentient, and Ji Cheng couldn't bear it.

"Why me? You have so many confidants, why did you bring me here? Ji Cheng's voice was choked, she didn't want to be weak, but she was afraid and helpless to accumulate too much. And the most important thing is that Ji Cheng discovered the most terrible thing in the early morning, when she was already confused, Shen Che's eyes were terrifyingly cold.

Shen Che looked at Ji Cheng calmly, "Sit." ”

Ji Cheng didn't move, and saw Shen Che kneeling down on the pu mat by the water's edge first, so she took the corner of her skirt and knelt down beside him.

"What if I say, I can't help it?" Shen Che said.

I really can't help it, I just wanted to taste it, but it turned out to be burned. Ji Cheng is a double-edged sword to him, because he can't suppress it, he can stimulate his Nine Turns Xuanyuan Gong to the greatest extent, but it is precisely because he can't restrain himself that Shen Che has the possibility of destroying the Great Wall.

But Shen Che has never been a person who is afraid of taking risks.

Ji Cheng looked at Shen Che, she was very suspicious that she had the ability to make Shen Che can't help it, if a man likes a girl, Ji Cheng can feel it, but she obviously doesn't feel it in Shen Che.

"Well, let's take a gamble." Shen Che said.

Ji Cheng raised his eyelids.

"Half a year. In half a year, either I will marry you, or I will let you go. Shen Che said.

Regardless of whether the bet is won or lost, it is very beneficial to Ji Cheng. "How can I believe that you are really willing to let me go? No longer threaten the Ji family, threaten me, and threaten the Ling family with any handles? Ji Cheng said.

Since you asked, you are interested.

Shen Che said: "You can also not gamble. ”

Ji Cheng thought to himself, no wonder it is himself who wins or loses the bet, the gamble itself is whether Shen Che will keep his promises, and whether she should believe him?

People at the end of the road will be used as a lifesaver if they grasp a little, Ji Cheng thought for a while, "I need you to swear." ”

Shen Che chuckled, "You actually believe in such a thing as swearing?" ”

Ji Cheng said: "It's better than nothing." ”

Shen Che said: "But I don't believe it. ”

Ji Cheng glared at Shen Che.

"If you don't have faith, you gamble." Shen Che said.

In the case of completely unequal strength, there will naturally be no fair bet. This may just be a bait thrown by Shen Che, he is used to playing with people's hearts, but in fact, Ji Cheng also knows that she should not make an appointment, as long as Shen Che refuses to let go, it makes no difference whether she is willing or not.

So Shen Che told her not to gamble if she didn't have confidence. Because gambling itself is Ji Cheng's charm, if she can win Shen Che, everything will naturally be solved. or become the second young grandmother of the Shen Mansion, or let Shen Che be unbearable to her, and finally let her go.

"I'll bet you." Ji Cheng said.

I definitely can't live in Sanhaoju at night, Ji Cheng has been "missing" for two days, if I don't go back tonight, I'm afraid there will be real trouble. What's more, Shen Che didn't spend a lot of time drinking tea in the mountain house.

When he went back, it was still Shen Che who took Ji Cheng to fly directly from the top of the mountain to another mountain, if Ji Cheng was a little more familiar with kung fu, he could see the difference between Shen Che yesterday and today. For example, when he came yesterday, Shen Che could fly over with her in one breath, but today Shen Che had three stones in his hand, and he needed to borrow strength in the air to keep it from falling.

However, as a layman, Ji Cheng didn't think deeply about these small details even if he saw them.

When Ji Cheng returned to Nanxun Garden, Yu Qian'er almost went crazy, if Nangui hadn't stopped her, maybe she would have made some trouble.

"Girl, you can be regarded as back, my eyelids have been jumping today, for fear that something will go wrong." When Yu Qian'er saw Ji Cheng, she hurriedly greeted her.

Ji Cheng was physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't have the extra energy to appease Yu Qian'er, but when Yu Qian'er was serving Ji Cheng to freshen up, she saw dense purple marks on her neck, which stretched to the depths, and she was sad again.

"Girl, where have you been these two days?" Yu Qian'er began to cry as she spoke.

Ji Cheng raised his hand to wipe his tears for Yu Qian'er, "I went to the mountains to see the scenery, don't worry, silly girl." ”

Yu Qian'er knew that Ji Cheng had something on her mind, but she also knew that she couldn't solve it for her, so she could only quietly wait for her to freshen up and go to bed.

Usually the soreness of the body will only show up the next day, yesterday Ji Cheng was still able to cook freely, let alone cooking today, after a little walking, the pain in his chest rubbing against his clothes was unbearable, not to mention the soreness of his waist and weak legs.

Ji Cheng didn't help Huang Yuanniang in Nanxun Garden, and when he left, he only asked Yu Qian'er to talk to Huang Yuanniang.

Back in the old lady's Rui Yingtang, Shen Qian and Shen Wei were also there, and after greeting the old lady, they all went to Ji Cheng's house.

Because Shen Qian's wedding date is scheduled for May. The Zeng family attaches great importance to Shen Qian, and the Zeng family in Tongxiang rushed to Beijing for this family business.

The Zeng family plans to let Zeng Xiuwen marry Shen Qian in Jingshi, regardless of whether Zeng Xiuwen can be admitted to the Jinshi in this subject or not, they plan to let the young couple stay in Jingshi.

This arrangement made the second lady Huang so satisfied with this family affair that she couldn't be more satisfied, Shen Qian didn't have to marry Tongxiang far away, isn't it the best?

At this time, it was the end of February, and the family was all busy in order to prepare for Shen Qian's marriage. Shen Qian has been busy making shoes for her future uncle recently, and she has to hug her feet in cooking, and she has less time to talk to Ji Cheng.

Shen Qian smiled at Ji Cheng and said: "In the end, it is the ancestor's house that raises people, look at your face, white and red, like a new peach, tender and tender." ”

Shen Wei answered: "I also think Sister Cheng is better-looking, it's really strange, but I haven't seen her for two or three days, why does it look a lot better?" ”

Several sisters talked together, but Lu Yuan, who usually talks a lot, sat quietly on the side and didn't talk much.

Ji Cheng sat next to Lu Yuan, "Ayuan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Shen Qian looked at Lu Yuan funny, "Yesterday, my mother took her to see the third son of the Luo family, she disliked other people's thin arms and legs, and came back to complain for a night." ”

Lu Yuan is used to seeing the stout old and young masters on the frontier, and naturally he can't get used to the third son of the Luo family, who is full of scholarly habits.

"Which Luo family?" Ji Cheng asked.

"It's the grandson of the Cheng Luo family in the imperial history." Shen Qian said.

It was a close minister of the Son of Heaven, Ji Cheng turned his head to Lu Yuan and said, "Didn't you say that your mother sent you back to Beijing, but she didn't want you to marry a military attaché?" The second lady can let you go to see each other's people, and the family style and character are definitely not bad. ”

But Lu Yuan likes that kind of muscular man, and feels that way to have a sense of security, and she really doesn't have any good feelings for Luo Gongzi, who is powerless, but Mrs. Huang and Shen Qian kept counting her down last night.

And the person Lu Yuan has always been worried about in her heart is Shen Yu, she doesn't believe that her aunt Mrs. Huang doesn't know. And her aunt suddenly helped her say goodbye, which shows that she is not a candidate for her aunt's daughter-in-law, which is what makes Lu Yuan feel the lowest.

Ji Cheng knew Lu Yuan's thoughts, she originally saw that Lu Yuan often went to Hengyuan to go to Mrs. Huang and didn't say anything, and thought that Mrs. Huang intended to marry Lu Yuan to Shen Yu as a steproom, but she didn't expect that now she has changed her mind.

After sitting and talking for a while, Shen Qian and Shen Wei left together, but Lu Yuan remained with Ji Cheng. When Shen Qian was leaving, she gave Ji Cheng a look and asked her to persuade Lu Yuan.

"Sister Cheng, what do you think if I find out my mind with my aunt?" Lu Yuan said.

Ji Cheng thought of Mrs. Huang's appearance, although her face was kind, but her actions were very neat and capable, she sighed lightly, "Can someone as shrewd as Mrs. Huang not know your thoughts?" In the past, she must have wanted you to be her daughter-in-law, so she didn't say anything when you often went to find Brother Hong. This will make your son suddenly make you look at each other, but what has happened recently? ”

Lu Yuan thought for a while, and then shook her head decisively, "No, is it because my aunt still minds the incident that caused Brother Hong to fall into the water last time?" ”

This is not impossible, after all, Brother Hong is the only grandson of the second room now, and he is the eldest grandson, even if Lu Yuan is not wrong, it will always make Mrs. Huang feel guilty.

"Maybe." Ji Cheng said.

Lu Yuan said anxiously: "Then what should I do Sister Cheng?" ”

If Mrs. Huang disagrees, this family matter will not be successful, Ji Cheng said: "Why don't you let your mother talk to your aunt?" They are sisters, and they are afraid that they will be able to talk. Sister Qian is about to get married, but your mother is coming back? ”

Lu Yuan felt that even if her mother came to her, it was useless to be afraid. She often heard her mother say that when she was a girl at home, her aunt was just a good woman.

Lu Yuan made up her mind in her heart, this matter had to come down to her eldest cousin Shen Yu, if Shen Yu took a fancy to her, her aunt would probably not object.

It's just that some time ago, Mrs. Huang instructed Lu Yuan that after Shen Qian got married, Brother Hong would move to the outer courtyard to live, and told her to go to Changheng Courtyard less, she was not too young, so she had to avoid suspicion.

Lu Yuan took Ji Cheng's hand and said: "It's about to be the third day of March, I promised to make paper kites for Brother Hong, Sister Cheng, let's go to Brother Hong together later, he will be happy to see you." ”

Ji Cheng didn't want to move at all, but his arm was about to be broken by Lu Yuan, so he could only respond with a smile.
