32. Listen occasionally
Qi Zheng's eyes lit up, "Miss Ji likes it too?" ”
"I heard Mr. Ziyu's flower and bird paintings are very smart, I have always wanted to see them, but I can't find the real handiwork, I want to see Mr. Ziyu's layout from this other person's copy of the painting, and learn it." Ji Cheng said.
Qi Zhengdao: "Mr.'s paintings can't be copied by others, but I haven't seen Mr. for a long time and miss them very much, so I came to buy the paintings." ”
Ji Cheng raised his hand and lifted the hat up a little more, "Childe knows Mr. Ziyu?" ”
Qi Zheng smiled shyly, "I used to learn painting under Mr. Ziyu, but then Mr. Ziyu was unwell and left because he missed his hometown in the south." ”
Ji Cheng smiled and clasped his fists with both hands and joked: "It turns out that Gongzi is a senior disciple of Mr. Ziyu, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful. ”
Qi Zheng smiled: "Do you also learn to paint?" I don't know who to study with? ”
Ji Cheng was reluctant to say the name of Sanhe Jushi, so he said: "I learned painting with Mrs. Yu." ”
Qi Zheng was stunned and asked hesitantly, "But that Mrs. Yu in the Lin Mansion?" ”
Ji Cheng understood as soon as he heard it, Qi Zheng originally knew that Mrs. Yu was a Sanhe layman.
"Exactly." Ji Cheng nodded.
Qi Zheng immediately smiled and hugged his fist at Ji Cheng, "I should tell Miss Ji that it is disrespectful and disrespectful." Mrs. Yu has not accepted disciples for many years, but she didn't expect Miss Ji to be listed under her doorway. ”
Ji Cheng said modestly: "It's just that someone recommended it." ”
"When Mr. Chu Ziyu was in the capital, he took me to visit Mrs. Yu twice, and Mrs. Yu's paintings were indifferent and forward-looking, and I admired them very much." Because he talked about Qi Zheng's interests, his conversation box opened at once.
After the two complimented each other's husband, Qi Zheng said in hindsight: "This picture book is for you." I still have several manuscripts from when my husband taught me to draw in the past, you can ......" At this point, Qi Zheng suddenly remembered that he and Ji Cheng had been taught each other in private, and quickly changed his words: "If Miss Ji comes to play with Qi Hua, you can go to my study and ask her to find it for you." ”
Ji Cheng thanked Qi Zheng. The two had been standing and chatting for a long time, and someone had already quietly looked sideways, Ji Cheng took the painting score from the shopkeeper, and thanked Qi Zheng before turning around and leaving.
On the carriage back, Yu Qian'er squeezed her eyebrows at Ji Cheng and squeezed her eyebrows, "Girl, someone like Qi Gongzi is the gentle scholar mentioned in the playbook, right?" ”
Although Ji Cheng had been mentally prepared, her face couldn't help but blush when she was asked by Yu Qian'er so coldly.
When Liu Ye'er heard this, her face immediately changed, and she stretched out her hand and poked Yu Qian'er's forehead fiercely, "Little girl, just talk nonsense when you're young, you are not ashamed, the girl has a good temperament, she didn't say anything about you, but think about it yourself, is this what you can say?" If she is heard, how can the girl be good? ”
When this Yu Qian'er followed Ji Cheng, Ji Cheng's temperament was still the same as before, but later suffered a big change, Yu Qian'er's temperament did not change much, and she still had something to say in front of Ji Cheng, Ji Cheng cherished her innocence, and she didn't control her much on weekdays, and she was more and more spoiled so that she dared to say anything in private.
Yu Qian'er pouted and complained, "I understand all this, Sister Liu Ye." I just said it in private, I just want to make fun of the girl, girl, don't you say? ”
Before Ji Cheng could answer, Liu Ye'er was afraid that Ji Cheng would be thin-skinned and angry with Yu Qian'er, so she hurriedly scolded again: "What did Hun say? Are you funny? The girl is aggrieved enough......"
Ji Cheng swept Liu Ye'er with her side eyes, she didn't expect Liu Ye'er to feel wronged.
However, this is also understandable, although Hu Feng is gradually moving eastward, and now his daughter's family is not always confined to the embroidery floor and does not go out of the second door, but to let the daughter's family take the initiative to talk to the man, this is not what everyone should do. Those girls from the family don't have to worry about marriage at all, they have already had the elders in the family to look at each other, and when they reach the age of Jilu, they have already stepped on the threshold of matchmaking and marriage. For example, Shen Qian, Wang Siniang and others are in a hurry to talk to the man.
But then again, if Wang Siniang wants to marry the second son of the Shen family, she doesn't have to go to great lengths to deepen her impression in front of Shen Che. Therefore you must be careful in all things.
Ji Cheng didn't feel aggrieved, she looked at Liu Ye'er and said, "Don't talk about Yu Qian'er, but just say it in private, Yu Qian'er will have more eyes in the future." ”
Yu Qian'er nodded hurriedly, and complained for Ji Cheng: "I also know that the girl is wronged, when we were in the land, the old lady was in charge, and with the girl's talent and appearance, which family didn't want to kiss us." Isn't that the son of the Tan family also talking to the girl in a different way? The eyes of the people in this capital have grown to the sky, and I look at those girls, and none of them can compare to you, girl. ”
Ji Cheng couldn't help but smile, and didn't blame her for hurting Yu Qian'er, this little girl's kung fu is a must. "I am not aggrieved, I have something in my heart, and I dare not say that I am wronged. Your mentality also has to change, this is Jingshi, not Jindi. We are chicken heads in Jindi, and we are phoenix tails here, and I am not a daughter. You have to know who you are. If you stay at home and wait for your elders to make decisions, you are afraid that this life will be a mermaid's share. ”
Liu Ye'er said: "Is there really no way for Mrs. Gu over there, girl?" ”
Ji Cheng said: "My aunt has other plans for her, and it is impossible to hope for her." In fact, this is nothing, the orders of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker may not be good. I didn't even know who the other party was when I got married, and how many people were doing well when I got married? Many of the girls went at a young age. My father let me choose my own son-in-law, and I can take a good look at their conduct, so that I can have a better life in the future. ”
When Yu Qian'er heard it, isn't that the reason? But Liu Ye'er still felt that Ji Cheng was a little aggrieved in her heart, and these words were to comfort them. Liu Ye'er felt that Ji Cheng should not take the initiative to talk to those men, and it seemed a little undignified.
Ji Cheng said again: "The same is true for you. If you wait for me to point out your husband another day, you may not be a pockmarked man, but if you see that there is a good one, you can also talk to me, and I will definitely make the decision for you. ”
"Girl!" Liu Ye'er's face flushed, and she turned her head unbearably, "The girl shouldn't have said these things." ”
Ji Cheng and Yu Qian'er looked at each other and smiled, and Yu Qian'er said, "I listen to the girl." ”
Liu Ye'er said angrily: "You are thick-skinned and not ashamed." ”
Yu Qian'er puffed out her cheeks and said, "I won't be ashamed, you will be ashamed, and you will marry Da, Ma, and Zi in the future." ”
Liu Ye'er was so angry that she twisted Yu Qian'er's face with her hand, "You little hooves who are dead." ”
Ji Cheng smiled and watched them frolicking on the side, but his mind had already turned to Qi Zheng. Now I can't see all the positive characters, but I see that all aspects are good, and if I am self-motivated, it will be great. Ji Cheng thought that even if she couldn't hold a first-grade official, with the Ji family's financial resources as the backing, the third-grade official could still be obtained.
Ji Cheng obviously didn't notice that at such a young age, she didn't mean to blush and be shy at all when she thought about her future husband.
In Ji Cheng's heart, the future is paved with interests, and she used the Ji family's financial resources and her own assistance in exchange for her husband's prosperity and care, this is just an exchange of interests, and she has long been accustomed to this model.
The carriage drove into the corner gate of the Shen Mansion, and without everyone noticing, a figure flashed out from under the carriage and disappeared into the house.
Ji Cheng didn't expect that their private words would be listened to in the carriage, which is really a coincidence, no one will have anything to do to get into the little girl's carriage to eavesdrop.
After a tired day, Ji Cheng was ready to rest early in the evening.
Liu Ye'er waited for Ji Cheng to comb his hair in the house, and Ji Cheng had to comb his hair hundreds of times every night. The comb uses a special comb, the comb teeth are large and numerous, and the wood is also specially found fragrant wood, and this method of maintaining hair was taught by Ji Cheng's mother Yun Niang.
Yun Niang's name of tofu Shih Tzu back then was not called in vain, even at this age, she is still beautiful and moving, and her hair is piled up with clouds, like a waterfall like satin, the reason why her attraction to Ji Qing has decreased is just because the freshness has passed.
When Ji Cheng was combing the tail of his hair with a rhino horn comb in the mirror, Yu Qian'er, who didn't know where to go, hurriedly ran in, Liu Ye'er stopped the comb in his hand and pointed at Yu Qian'er and said, "What are you doing?" Just now I wanted you to find our black hair cream made in the spring, but I couldn't find anyone everywhere. ”
Yu Qian'er shrugged her shoulders and grinned: "Just now I went to play with Juan'er and Satin'er in the old ancestor's house. ”
Ji Cheng glanced at Yu Qian'er when she heard this, although this girl is greedy and playful, but the objects she plays with are all picky, she seems to be very arrogant at a young age, but in fact, she has a lot of ghosts.
"Girl, what do you think Miss Su is doing today?" Yu Qian'er stepped forward and said.
Liu Ye'er didn't understand how Yu Qian'er mentioned Su Yun in a dignified manner, Ji Cheng's delicate heart turned, and she had an eyebrow in her heart, "She went out with her ancestor?" ”
"I can't hide anything from the girl." Yu Qian'er felt that Ji Cheng was not fun at all, and she could guess her question every time. "She followed Mrs. Su and the old ancestor to Jishi'an."
The owner of Jishi'an, Jingyu Shitai, is a close friend of the ancestors. Speaking of this quiet teacher is also amazing, she has been in the Wushi teacher Taimen practice since she was a child, and later the Wushi master too drove the crane to the west, she made a grand wish to make a statue for the Wushi teacher, since then the east and west travel eight thousand miles each, the fate of the silver and finally in the Beijing to build the Jishi Nunnery.
The ancestors of the Shen Mansion would always go to Jishi'an every month to burn incense and donate some sesame oil money, which many people know. The quiet whisperer is too quiet, so Mrs. Shen goes alone every time and rarely takes juniors.
"Which son-in-law is it for Sister Yun?" Ji Cheng asked out loud.
