Ji Cheng hated Shen Che's shameless behavior that could be unscrupulous in broad daylight, and she hurriedly hugged the quilt and stepped back.

Shen Che looked at Ji Cheng's slender white calves along Ji Cheng's toes that had been clenched because of nervousness or shyness, and always felt that her evasive action lined him like a wolf meeting a lamb.

Shen Che leaned down and trapped Ji Cheng in her limbs, biting her earlobe and said, "I was thinking last night, you must be very beautiful lying under the peach blossoms, it is best to lie on the soft cushion covered by the peach blossoms, the wind blows the petals down and falls on your eyes and lips...... on the toes. ”

Ji Cheng's ears were blowing Shen Che's hot breath, and her whole body was so soft that even her eyes softened into water at this moment.

The wind really blew, and it rolled bigger and bigger, Ji Cheng was forced to look up at the sky, and when he opened his eyes, there were cherry blossom pink petals flying in the sky, falling on Shen Che's back and her body.

Itchy.

Although there was no trace of the wind, Ji Cheng's body was full of traces left by the juice of pink peach petals after being rubbed.

Charming, glamorous.

The slightly opened mouth panted gently, his throat was so dry and dumb that Ji Cheng didn't want to move a finger.

Shen Che was quite refreshed, he put on his robe casually, his chest was still exposed, he was boiling tea in the wind stove, quietly pouring hot water on the tea cup, but his eyes didn't pay much attention to the movements in his hands, and he kept looking at Ji Cheng lying on the thick blanket covered with peach blossoms.

The snow is so white that it looks like the newly cooked rice balls of the Lantern Festival, sticky and glutinous, if the teeth are not good, I am afraid that she will stick them out.

After the tea was boiled, it was warm enough to eat, Shen Che fed the teacup to Ji Cheng's mouth, who didn't even bother to open his eyes, Ji Cheng moved his mouth, and the tea drops went down the corners of her lips on the petals.

Shen Che simply choked on the tea and leaned over to feed Ji Cheng, Ji Cheng was so frightened that he choked a few times, and said spinelessly in a delicate and extremely soft voice: "Don't do it." ”

At noon, it was still Shen Che's noodles, this time the two of them didn't grab it again, Shen Che rolled the noodles and fed them to Ji Cheng's mouth with chopsticks, and asked, "How about we stay one more night, how about going down the mountain early tomorrow morning?" ”

Stay one more night?! Ji Cheng felt that her life was going to be explained here, so she shook her head resolutely.

Shen Che regretfully poured the freshly rolled noodles into his mouth.

Ji Cheng glared at Shen Che, she hadn't eaten enough.

Shen Che fed Ji Cheng again, "It's okay, the peach petals have been almost ruined by you, I'll bring you over next year." ”

The next year in Shen Che's mouth may be a show of goodwill, but in Ji Cheng's ears, it means something else, obviously Shen Che means not to abide by the gambling contract.

"The devil came with you." Ji Cheng snorted, her attitude was just right, if she responded, she was afraid that Shen Che would be suspicious.

On the way back, Ji Cheng happened to be sleeping in a leisurely boat, his head resting on Shen Che's lap, and Shen Che's hand was gently patting her back, coaxing her to sleep all the way.

Occasionally, Ji Cheng opened her eyes slightly, and Shen Che fed the water cup to her mouth, and after she moistened her throat, she continued to fall asleep, which really consumed a lot of physical and mental power, and she enjoyed Shen Che's hospitality freely.

As soon as Ji Cheng returned to Orchid Lane, he came before he had time to change his clothes.

"Where has the girl been these days? No one in the family knows about it, so how can I explain it to my father-in-law if something happens? Fan Zengli clutched her chest and was about to wipe her tears.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I act in my own way." Ji Cheng's voice came from behind the screen, in fact, she also felt sarcastic when she said this, she herself didn't know what proportion was now, she only knew that there was a fire burning in her heart, if she couldn't burn others, then she could only burn herself.

"The day before yesterday, the old lady of the Shen Mansion sent someone to pick you up, saying that it was your birthday and wanted to congratulate you on your behalf." Fan Zengli said.

Ji Cheng said: "Then how did you get back?" ”

Fan Zengli said: "I can't find the girl, but I'm dying, I can only say that the girl is sick, it's not good, and when the girl is better, I'll go to the house to ask the old lady for peace." ”

Ji Cheng smiled, "Sister-in-law is now more and more proper in dealing with people." ”

Fan Zengli breathed a sigh of relief, she was actually a little afraid of this little sister-in-law, the young city government was very powerful, and those aunts in the family had been treated by her in the past two years, and they didn't dare to make trouble to annoy her mother-in-law. Besides, Ji Qing's health is not good, Ji Cheng is in charge of everything inside and outside the family, and Fan Zengli is not afraid of Ji Cheng.

This time, Ji Qing asked her to go to Beijing to help Ji Cheng talk about her marriage, Fan Zengli was willing, so she hoped that Ji Cheng would marry quickly, so that she could breathe a sigh of relief. There is such a sister-in-law who stays at home, and no one can breathe.

After Ji Cheng appeased Fan Zengli, he heard Liu Ye'er say that Shopkeeper Mei was back, so he changed his clothes and went to the study to see Shopkeeper Mei.

Shopkeeper Mei was sent by Ji Cheng to open up a new business line in the Western Regions, and later got Ji Cheng's letter to cooperate with Pang Junxiong and Tong Xiang, and he had already figured out his own way in the Western Regions, but recently he suddenly received Ji Cheng's letter and asked him to rush back to Beijing to meet, which made Mei Changhe a little confused.

As soon as Mei Changhe saw Ji Cheng, he praised Tong Xiang and them, and said that with their help, the Ji family's business in the Western Regions was basically no problem.

Ji Cheng nodded, "I will fully support you, I am worried that you will not have enough manpower in the Western Regions, and if you have any people in our shops in the capital, you can take them away." ”

Mei Changhe didn't expect such a good thing, he was indeed too understaffed, and there were even fewer people who could be trusted.

Ji Cheng said again: "Tong Xiang, they and we are not all the way after all, we can cooperate with each other, but the shopkeeper himself has to be careful." Also, I hope that you can be familiar with the people of the Western Regions royal court, especially the people of the royal families of Jieshi and Gumo. ”

Jieshi and Gumo are now no longer in the climate, they are both forces suppressed by the Jing Shijun, Ji Cheng thought to himself that they must have hated the so-called Jing Lord to death.

"What's the girl's plan?" Mei Changhe asked puzzled.

"In the future, I want to give them a big gift, depending on whether they can eat it. Therefore, I would like to ask the shopkeeper of Mei to support the forces in these two countries, and I will give you no matter how much money it costs. You have someone to send the news to me every three days, don't take Pang Junxiong's line, and find another person to deliver the letter. Write in the secret language we agreed upon. Ji Cheng said.

When Mei Changhe heard this, he immediately understood that Ji Cheng was going to break with Pang Junxiong's line, "I'll arrange it immediately." ”

Ji Cheng discussed some details with Mei Changhe again, and asked about the current situation in the Western Regions, and then sent Mei Changhe away.

As soon as Mei Changhe left, Bai Shouchun, the chief housekeeper of the Ji family in Beijing, entered the door, and it was Ji Cheng who asked him to inquire about the news, including the news of the Qinglou female history that Shen Che had fallen in love with.

After these arrangements were made, Ji Cheng took Fan Zengli to the Shen Mansion the next day.

When Fan Zengli arrived in Beijing that day, she had already come to Shen Mansion to ask the old lady for peace, and it was much better to come here today than the first time, and she was so nervous that she couldn't say anything.

The old lady took Ji Cheng's hand and said a few words, asking her how she was sick again, Ji Cheng smiled: "It's just an occasional cold, just drink more water and lie down for two days." ”

"It's cold and hot for a while, and you little girls love to kick the quilt when you sleep. I see that you should go back to Rui Yingtang to live, and your body should also be well maintained. Ah Qian, they also miss you, you go and talk to them, I have something to say to your sister-in-law. The old lady said.

Ji Cheng had a hint of suspicion, why did the old lady avoid her when talking to her sister-in-law? Could it be that other people have looked at each other?

The old lady's birthday is in March, although it is not a whole birthday, but there are many people who are filial piety, anyway, the beginning of May is the day when Shen Qian gets married, and the people of the Ye family simply set off early, and by the way, they can also congratulate the old lady on her birthday.

Therefore, Ye Lang arrived in the capital much earlier than Mrs. Huang expected.

As soon as the old lady told Fan Zengli about the Ye family's family background and Ye Lang's character, Fan Zengli immediately thanked the old lady with gratitude.

"It's just that marrying in the past is a continuation of the string, and there are sons-in-law and daughters over there, I'm afraid that Ah Cheng will feel wronged, so I didn't mention it to her. I thought I'd talk to you first, and let's see what Master Ji meant. The old lady said.

"My father-in-law will definitely be satisfied, I can't say that a family like ours can marry the county guard family, and Ah Cheng is also blessed by several lifetimes to be favored by the ancestors." Fan Zengli said with some trepidation.

The old lady said: "Okay, you tell your father-in-law, when the nephew of the Ye family comes over, I will also let Cheng girl look at each other, if both families are interested, then it will be better." ”

Ji Cheng naturally didn't know about these things, since her sister-in-law came, she couldn't talk to her girl's family anymore.

But it's the same whether to say it or not, because there was a shocking event in March that covered up all the other sesame garlic skins.

Things first started with Wang Yueniang, the pregnant Wang Concubine Niangniang suddenly died, and then Wang Shufei was stripped of the position of managing the six palaces, which was like house arrest, and then the Wang family's corruption and disregard for human life The lawsuit surfaced, and Emperor Jianping issued an order to strip the title of the Wang family, and the family was beheaded.

It is said that six million taels of silver were copied from the Wang family, as well as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which were richer than the emperor's private treasury, and the authentic works of Wang Xizhi, who should have been hidden in the big house, appeared on the genealogy, Emperor Jianping was even more angry, and wanted to destroy the nine clans of the Wang family.

Then, Concubine Wang Shu also died violently.

Everyone saw that there was something greasy here, but it was just a matter of corruption and bribery, and it was not a year or two that the Wang family was domineering, why did Emperor Jianping suddenly become more serious?

In addition, the violent death of the first two Wang mothers in the palace must have involved the secrets of the palace, and everyone's hearts were tickled very much, and they didn't dare to forget to talk about it.
