Chapter 138: Hidden Forbearance
Ji Cheng sighed lightly and looked up at Shen Che, "I suddenly want to listen to my cousin play the flute, I wonder if I have this honor?" ”
Shen Che naturally didn't refuse Ji Cheng, "What do you want to hear?" ”
Ji Cheng looked at Shen Che, thought about it, then coughed lightly twice, sat up straight and posed for the uncle, "The best thing to blow the head of the uncle." ”
Shen Che looked at Ji Cheng in surprise, and then the corners of his lips slowly curled, "Do you want to hear eighteen touches or two fragrant kisses?" ”
What is Eighteen Touches? What are the two incense relatives? Although Ji Cheng didn't understand, he knew that it wasn't a serious thing when he heard the name.
But what surprised Ji Cheng the most was that Shen Che really dressed up according to her wishes, and was born to be a little girl.
But of course Ji Cheng didn't want to play eighteen touches and two incense kisses with Shen Che, "Blow a song about your appearance." ”
Memories of appearance, in the distance, but don't forget the old people.
The faint melancholy and lingering flute sound sounded slowly, as if an endless silk thread stretched out in the night, transmitting people's thoughts to the distance.
Ji Cheng barely slept last night, and at this moment he was blown by Shen Che's slow flute and began to droop his eyelids, not that Shen Che's flute sound was not strong enough, but it was nothing to do with Ji Cheng, she resisted this person from the heart, so she was not infected by his music.
Before the song was finished, Ji Cheng had already fallen asleep on his side on the mat. Shen Che picked up the quilt sheet for Ji Cheng, and sat back in place to continue to blow his looks. If Ji Cheng wakes up, he will still hear Shen Che's "Eighteen Touches" and "Two Fragrance Kisses".
The feather coat who was sitting in the courtyard below on a summer night was full of intoxication, "Is Childe playing the flute?" This is the first time I've heard it, and it's so nice. Feather sighed softly.
Nishang took a sip of tea and looked at the starry sky above her head, she hadn't heard of it for many years. Nishang became more and more curious about the woman in the small courtyard above. As for why she was sure it was a girl, it was only because she had smelled the scent of her daughter's house when she went to clean.
Ji Cheng slept until dawn, and when he woke up, he was naturally already in Rui Yingtang. The old lady's expression was a little wrong when she had breakfast, and before breakfast was finished, Ji Cheng's sister-in-law Fan Zengli arrived.
I don't know what happened to make her come early in the morning.
Ji Cheng had actually guessed almost in his heart, but he didn't expect Shen Che's movements to be so fast.
After finishing the meal, Fan Zengli went to Ji Cheng's house, her mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, "I heard that Ye Gongzi is going to exchange Geng posts with the girl from Shi Langzhong's family in the Ministry of Literature." ”
The Ministry of Literature and Literature? Ji Cheng blinked, and sure enough, just as Shen Che said, give Ye Lang a better candidate, and he would naturally know who to choose.
Ye Lang was not born as a Jinshi, just a showman, and later donated an official, but did not get a real job, over the years, the opening of the imperial court to buy and sell officials has become bigger and bigger, the number of donors is four or five times that of the actual position, that is, Ye Lang's father is Langya County Shou, if he wants to wait for a satisfactory real shortage, he has to find a way in the Ministry of Officials.
The Ministry of Literature and Literature Selection is in charge of examining the grade of the civil service, and the listing, examination, selection, and promotion, if Ye Lang can have such a father-in-law, his career will be much smoother.
"It's definitely not a day or two since this family discussion, the Ye family is too bullying, this is going to exchange Geng posts, what did you come to Shen Mansion to see a few days ago? At that time, even our family's jade pendant was accepted, and now it is ...... again" Fan Zengli couldn't help but be angry no matter how good her temper was.
Ji Cheng said: "I'm afraid that the affairs of the Shi family have not been finalized at that time, not to mention that Mrs. Huang is Ye Lang's aunt, he naturally wants to give her a little face, but it is just to look at each other, and it is not an engagement, so there is nothing to regret or not regret." ”
Fan Zengli sighed, "Don't go to your heart, what kind of people can't go based on your appearance?" The old lady is also uncomfortable, you must coax some, the capital is so big, there must be suitable people. ”
No matter how big the capital is, as long as Shen Che is here, she can't get married, Ji Cheng thought to himself, but he couldn't say it to Fan Zengli.
Two days later, Ye Lang came to the door again, and at this time he made a special trip to make amends to the old lady and Mrs. Huang, and the obvious family affairs of the Ye family and the Shi family were ironclad.
Although it is not Ji Cheng's fault that the family affair did not work out this time, where do outsiders know the inside story, they will only discuss it in private, it must be that Ji Cheng is not good, so the Ye family did not take a fancy to her. You must know that the girl from the Shi family is seventeen years old and has not yet decided on a marriage, just because her appearance is too ordinary, and it is still a tactful to say that she is ordinary.
After Ye Lang visited the old lady, he went to the courtyard of his aunt, Mrs. Huang. Mrs. Huang not only made the old lady unhappy because of Ji Cheng's family affairs, but she herself was also very unhappy, and for some reason a Shi girl suddenly came out, and she didn't even know it beforehand.
"Auntie." Ye Lang, a big man, could only stand with his head down in front of Mrs. Huang.
"Aaron, what's the matter with you? When I first wrote the letter, didn't your father and you both agree to this family affair with the Ji family, and the two families looked at each other, why did they suddenly change their hexagrams? Mrs. Huang asked with a cold face, "What's going on with the Shi family?" Why didn't I know at all? If your family really has the intention of marrying the Shi family, why didn't you sue me at that time? I patted my chest in front of the old lady and promised, what is it now? ”
Before Ye Lang left Langya, Mrs. Huang had already written to Ye Lang and his father about the situation of the Ji family, and he went to Beijing this time to congratulate Shen Qian on his marriage, and on the other hand, to see Ji Cheng. suddenly changed his hexagram at this time, no wonder Mrs. Huang didn't give Ye Lang face.
Ye Lang said: "Aunt is angry. Before I went to Beijing, I had no contact with the Shi family. Not long ago, Mr. Shi suddenly asked someone to make peace, and I was very surprised at the time. My aunt also knew the difficulties of my family, and I ......, "That's the family of Wenxuan Shilang, and my daughter doesn't have to worry about getting married at all."
The Huang family is now skeptical of Ye Lang's words, "I know the difficulties of your family, otherwise I wouldn't tell you about the Ji family, although the Ji family is a merchant, but firstly, the Cheng girl's appearance is very outstanding, and secondly, the Ji family lacks nothing is not short of silver, whether it is your father moving or yourself in the future, silver will be indispensable everywhere to open the way." Huang said this more bluntly, if Ye Lang was not her sister's son, she would not say such a thing.
Ye Lang's face turned a little red when he heard this, although his father was not a clean official, but he had always prided himself on being honest, and there were many brothers and sisters in the family, and the expenses were really not small, plus the capital and the local government had to be dealt with everywhere, so it was a little stretched. If it weren't for this, the Ye family would not look down on the Ji family.
The Huang family felt that Ye Lang was too eager for quick success, and she had also seen the girl from the Shi family, so she couldn't help sneering: "Have you seen the girl from the Shi family?" ”
Ye Lang nodded, he must have seen each other, the girl of the Shi family was very satisfied with Ye Lang, and Ye Lang must be hesitant about her, otherwise he would not have gone to the Shen Mansion to see Ji Cheng after having an eyebrow with the Shi family. It's just because although Miss Nashi has a good father, she was born with a mouthful of buckteeth, which is quite unsightly.
Huang sighed, Ye Lang is a talent like Miss Shi is really a little aggrieved. "Forget it, I won't talk about you, it's your own business anyway, you can do whatever you like."
Ye Lang didn't want to offend the Huang family, "Auntie, I originally wanted to marry the girl of the Ji family, but that day Brother Yan met Miss Ji in the mansion, and when he came home, he cried and said that he didn't like her, and he didn't even eat." Brother Yan is my eldest son, if he and Miss Ji really can't get along, it won't be a good thing for anyone, and I will live up to my aunt's kindness. ”
"Why doesn't Brother Yan like Cheng girl?" Huang was a little surprised, "The children in the family like her, and even Brother Hong's temperament loves to follow her." ”
Ye Lang didn't know the reason.
But when Ye Lang left from the Huang family's courtyard and met Ji Cheng on the road, he understood. When Ye Lang saw Ji Cheng, he had just come out from behind the big tree.
Seeing the ladies of the Shen Mansion in the inner courtyard, Ye Lang intuitively took a few steps back and hid behind the tree again.
At that time, Ji Cheng was leading Yu Qian'er to find Lu Yuan, and this girl has been very dull recently, and she doesn't even go to the garden much.
"Miss Ji." The little girl who was waiting in Changheng Courtyard met Ji Cheng on the road and greeted happily, "Where are you going, girl?" Are you going to see Brother Hong? He sent us to the door every day to guard us, for fear that the girl would go and no one would tell us. ”
Ye Lang only heard the three words "Miss Ji" in his ears, and the rest of the voices and scenery were all blurred in his ears and eyes, and the only color between heaven and earth was Ji Cheng alone.
The cicada wing gauze skirt with the blue water of the lake floated slightly with Ji Cheng's pace in the breeze, like green water wrinkled by the spring breeze, causing ripples. Further up was the jade and white pearl earrings, gently swaying on her earlobes that were thinner and whiter than pearls, the shaking seemed to hypnotize Ye Lang, and his eyes could only follow Ji Cheng's movements.
"What is my cousin looking at?" Shen Che's voice sounded behind Ye Lang, and it woke him up, where was Ji Cheng's shadow in front of him.
Ye Lang only had melancholy left in his heart, it turned out that it was Ji Cheng. Ye Lang quickly understood why Ye Yan didn't like Ji Cheng anymore, he just glanced at it, and his soul couldn't help himself.
Ye Lang reined in his thoughts, turned his head and greeted Shen Che, "I didn't see anything." ”
Shen Che smiled: "Everyone is looking for you everywhere, today I booked a seat in Yunhe Building on Dongyang Street to congratulate my cousin." ”
I don't know who is rejoicing and who is celebrating, anyway, Shen Che was very excited when he returned to Jiuliyuan.
Ji Cheng was writing a letter to Pang Junxiong and the three of them in the small courtyard at the time, and there was news coming back from the Western Regions almost every day, Ji Cheng wanted to read them one by one, it was the report of each eyeliner, she needed to screen them one by one, and then sort out the clues, and then arrange Pang Junxiong and them to act.
Ji Cheng was writing superbly, but he was hugged by Shen Che from behind, his breath was full of wine and mixed with the fragrance of fat powder, and before Ji Cheng could speak, he was swallowed by Shen Che.
