Ji Cheng knew that Shen Che would definitely be unhappy, and she would be a little unhappy if it were her. That day when Ling Ziyun came, Ji Cheng had already sensed Shen Che's displeasure.

However, Ji Cheng didn't think that Shen Che was jealous, people have different possessiveness for beautiful things, and even she herself is not exempt from vulgarity. Shen Che's attitude towards her was already a little ambiguous, but now that he was suddenly going to marry, it was understandable that he was unhappy, and the plaything was robbed.

But Ji clarified that Shen Che was just playing tricks with her, just like he did to Wang Liniang, Rui Yu and others. Because there is no respect in my heart, I can be so ambiguous with her. Qi Zheng is like that to Shen Cui, but Shen Cui will be reincarnated, and the Shen family is behind him, so if something happens, Qi Zheng still has to marry Shen Cui, but he is different, and he will probably never see the light of day.

This is also why Ji Cheng can't wait to get married, and then leave here and leave Shen Che. Although there are some topics that Ji Cheng doesn't want to mention, he has to face them.

"Cousin Che, I'm going to go back to Jinbei after I raise my head. Although these ledgers have been cleared, I still have a few places where I am not sure I need help with the new deployment in the Western Regions. I don't know if you have anyone who is very familiar with the geography of the Western Regions, I would like to ask them. Ji Cheng said.

"I'll arrange it." Shen Che said, and then smiled, "Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated my cousin yet." ”

Ji Cheng thanked him.

Shen Che said again: "If you go to Xizhou in the future, it will be more convenient to control the affairs of the Western Regions." I asked Nangui to follow you back, I have a special line in the Western Regions to be responsible for mail pick-up, and I will have someone contact you when the time comes. ”

"Okay." Ji Cheng smiled brightly, and the biggest stone in her heart was finally removed. Since Shen Che thought about what she would do in Xizhou in the future, it showed that he was in favor of and supported this family matter, and things would go a lot smoother.

Shen Che didn't stay too long, he got up and left after owing his jaw.

It wasn't until he returned to the small cross courtyard that Ji Cheng remembered what was different about Shen Che today, he didn't make tea, which was a little strange.

However, Ji Cheng didn't think much about it, he slept until dawn, and there were fewer things in his heart, so his sleep was naturally good. When I got up early, I met Shen Qian and Shen Jing, and Shen Jing kept chattering about yesterday's lantern viewing.

"Sister Cheng, this year's Aoshan lantern in front of Xuanwu Tower is very different, there is also a water tank on it, the water flows down from the mountain, the water splashes, it is like a jewel under the light, it is very beautiful, you must go and see it."

Ji Cheng nodded, she may have fewer opportunities to return to Jingshi in the future, this is the first and probably the only time she has spent the Yuan Festival in Jingshi, so she naturally has to cherish it.

This night is to enjoy the lanterns in the river, Ji Cheng stood on the Hongfu Bridge and looked at the Yingshui, the river was reflected by the lights on both sides of the bank as if it was a colorful practice, what is called "flower market lights like day" Ji Cheng can be regarded as knowing.

The Shen family's painting boat was near the pier near Hongfu Bridge, Ji Cheng, Shen Jing, and Su Yun got on the boat together, but the Yingshui, which seemed very wide on weekdays, was congested at this time, and it was not easy for the boatman to squeeze out a way and row the painting boat to the center of the river.

There was a lot of noise all around, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, Ji Cheng looked out from the porthole, and the most eye-catching thing on Yingshui was probably the two-story exquisite painting boat.

The window railings on all sides of the boat are carved, and there are verandahs on all sides of the ship's side for people to look at from afar. The edge of the building ship is hung with dense Poli lanterns, reflecting the whole ship as if it were the car of an immortal in the Milky Way in the sky.

Ji Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Which ship is that?" ”

Shen Qian and the others couldn't answer, but the boatman said with a lot of mouth: "That's a painting boat full of garden fragrance." ”

In Jingshi, probably no one doesn't know the fragrance of the garden, but I am afraid that everyone in the world knows, that is the most famous gold cave, seven of the ten Oiran of the Beijing division are full of garden incense, and the original Fang Xuan, who is unique in the world, is also born in the fragrance of the garden.

Since it is a painting boat full of garden fragrance, it is no wonder that it can become a scene of Yingshui. When the boatman rowed the painting boat close to the garden full of incense, bursts of silk and bamboo came out, and if you listen to it, those who know how to hear the pipa rhyme is really amazing.

Shen Jing said: "Ah, I don't know who played the pipa, if Aunt Hanbi was there, she would definitely want to jump on that boat." ”

Ji Cheng is not very proficient in the music of the pipa, so his attention is naturally not on the pipa, and he only cares about watching people.

On the second floor of the ship, the lights were as bright as day, and there were a few small windows open to breathe, and you could see people coming and going inside, and as soon as Ji Cheng looked up, he saw that the person by the window turned out to be Shen Che.

In fact, Ji Cheng was not surprised at all, such a day when the whole world was happy and unscrupulous, it would be abnormal if Shen Che was not in the land of fireworks.

Ji Cheng retracted his gaze, not wanting to spy on other people's *, but he heard Su Yun exclaim, Ji Cheng looked up in response, but saw that there was a slender woman beside Shen Che, although she couldn't see her face clearly, but as soon as the light reflected that her figure was reflected, it immediately showed that she was different from others.

The waist was so thin that it looked like two ribs had been drawn, but the buttocks were really plump. It is said that these women are the ones in a million places.

Ji Cheng didn't know this, but he didn't know what the girl was talking about when he saw that girl was leaning into Shen Che's ear, and Shen Che also leaned over and listened carefully, and there was intimacy between the two at a glance, it was the kind of intimacy between men and women.

Ji Cheng didn't want to look at the eye of the long needle, so he quickly turned his gaze, but Su Yun was still looking at it stupidly, with tears faintly in his eyes, Ji Cheng thought that it would be good for Su Yun to see this scene with his own eyes, and to recognize what kind of person Shen Che was.

But tonight, Su Yun is not the only one who is obsessively looking at the boat in the garden.

Ji Cheng only felt that her body was shaking, and the painting boat seemed to have been hit by another boat, she quickly looked out of the boat, and saw a Wupeng boat scurrying flexibly in the boat, rubbing many boats on the way, and it was thanks to the boatman's superb skills that the boat did not capsize.

In the end, the boat crashed straight into the fragrant painting boat. However, the canopy boat is small, and hitting the building boat full of garden fragrance just makes the people on the boat feel that their feet are shaking slightly.

Immediately on the boat full of incense, a turtle slave came out to scold, but saw a charming woman coming out of the canopy boat.

Yundui fell into a horse bun and a golden robe woven red, although Ji Cheng could only see her side face and couldn't see her facial features clearly, he could already feel that she must be a stunning beauty.

"Shen Che!" I heard the woman shouting loudly. Later, Ji Cheng heard about it and learned that the woman was Mrs. Hua Rui.

Shen Che and Shen Ergongzi are celebrities in Jingshi, and when everyone heard someone call his name, they all poked their heads out to see the excitement.

"Shen Che." Mrs. Hua Rui didn't see Shen Che come out, and continued to shout loudly.

Madame Hua Rui shouted many times before she saw Shen Che come out of the first floor of the ship.

As soon as Shen Wei heard Hua Rui shouting Shen Che, he ordered the boatman to quickly pull the boat over, and then walked out of the cabin and went to the bow of the ship in a rage. This girl disliked her second brother's association with those unscrupulous women the most. Shen Qian's face was not very good-looking, probably because she was afraid that Shen Wei would make trouble, so she followed her outside, and Lu Yuan naturally went out with her.

But Ji Cheng leaned on the edge of the porthole, leisurely preparing to watch a good show.

Su Yun didn't go out, but looked at Ji Cheng, "Sister Cheng, don't you go out to have a look?" ”

Ji Cheng gathered the lynx cloak on his body, "The river breeze outside is too cold." ”

When you hate someone, you can find a reason to hate it no matter what she does. For example, Ji Cheng didn't go out to see the excitement in her opinion, after all, she was the one who was going to marry, but in Su Yun's opinion, she was too unconscionable, she used to hook Shen Che and wanted to marry into the Shen family, but now she saw that it was hopeless, so she turned her head and left Shen Che.

Ji Cheng is really embarrassed, if he likes Shen Che, Su Yun wants to be jealous, avoid him, Su Yun thinks you dare not like her sweetheart?

"Anyway, it's also a brother and sister, and Sister Cheng is better to hide on the side and watch the excitement alone." Su Yun stabbed.

How could Ji Cheng not understand Su Yun's careful thoughts, she just didn't bother to pay attention to it, for Su Yun, love and love are the biggest things now, but for Ji Cheng, living comfortably is the eternal goal. For example, what is on her mind now is how to persuade He Cheng to agree to continue to do what she likes after getting married, such as reading the account book or something, and she wants to know what kind of movement she can make in the land of the Western Regions.

"It's true that I didn't think about it." Ji Cheng smiled and stood up, "Then let's go out, Sister Yun." ”

The feeling of the fist hitting the cotton makes people feel even more depressed, Su Yun feels that she and Ji Cheng are on par, and her background is much better than her, so Ji Cheng must pay attention to himself and treat himself as an opponent, but the reality is that Ji Cheng has never seen her in general.

Yes, it is this kind of high-mindedness, as if she is thorough in everything, but she is confused and ignorant, the more Su Yun thinks about it, the more annoyed she feels.

When Ji Cheng walked out of the cabin, he saw that Mrs. Hua Rui was wiping her tears, and saw that her lover couldn't even speak, but a goose yellow figure flashed behind Shen Che at this time, it was the woman who was extremely intimate with Shen Che on the second floor just now.

As soon as Madame Hua Rui saw the woman's body shaking several times like a falling leaf in autumn, she burst into tears and said, "Shen Che, what did you say when you hugged me last night?" How did you coax me when you left in the morning? You said you were going to stay with me tonight, but I waited for you for so long, but you, you ......"

These words suddenly made those who listened to the lively "shhh", it turned out that the second son of the Shen family and the famous Mrs. Hua Rui had already had a leg, and she had become a guest of the scene, among which Ye Yan made people's hearts ripple just thinking about it.

However, although it is fun for men to be left and right, it is embarrassing to make trouble like this.

The goose Huang Xie beside Shen Che said delicately: "Sister, it's cold outside, what's the better to talk in the boat." As she spoke, she asked the boatman to set up a sampan between the two boats.

Hua Rui walked over, gave the Xie Yuhua a vicious slap, and then walked into the building boat full of fragrant gardens with his head held high.

This farce did not last a cup of tea, and it caused countless people to regret that they couldn't know how to make trouble in the boat full of garden fragrance. I don't think I've seen enough, why it's gone.

Shen Wei walked into the cabin angrily, "Oh, I'm really angry, the second brother just likes to associate with those unserious women, and he just lost such a big person today." ”

Shen Qian had to say a few words of comfort, but he couldn't pick out the words, so he only said: "A person as big as the second brother has his own ideas for doing things, don't worry about it." ”

Shen Yun was so angry that he cried, Su Yun's face was also very ugly, but Ji Cheng looked calm. What Mrs. Hua Rui said just now was obviously a lie, she had obviously seen Shen Che in Lanyue Zhai last night.

Although Shen Che may also have gone to Mrs. Hua Rui late at night, but that Mrs. Hua Rui acted too exaggeratedly, with Ji Cheng's understanding of Shen Che, if he really wanted to leave and right the people on both sides of Fengyuan, he would definitely be able to appease and obey, where could Mrs. Hua Rui come out to make trouble.

Ji Cheng thought, and he didn't know what was going on, so Mrs. Hua Rui was forced to pretend to be a bitter girl to see Shen Che.

However, because of this out, today's river cruise and lantern viewing made everyone's interest disappear early.

The next day, Shen Xian went to Shen Che's mansion and didn't find anyone, so he had to complain to Ji Cheng and them, "When something like this happens, he doesn't know how to restrain at all, and he actually fools around outside all day long." ”

Su Yun said: "It would be nice if I could marry a sister-in-law to take care of it." ”

Shen Xun looked at Su Yun, and only sighed faintly, even she felt that marrying someone to manage Shen Che was an extravagant hope, and even the ancestor couldn't control him.

The disappointment was disappointing, but at dusk, everyone's interest was raised again, because tonight the eldest son of the Zeng family made an appointment with Shen Qian to enjoy the lanterns.

Or you can't make an appointment with Shen Qian, Zeng Xiuwen came to Shen Mansion today to invite Shen Jing and Ji Yuan, Shen Che is nowhere to be seen, and Shen Yu can't go out with them to enjoy the lanterns and drink with them.

And Zeng Xiuwen's shy expression when he saw Shen Qian made everyone guess that he wanted to take the opportunity to get close to his fiancée. It's really not easy to say, although Zeng Xiuwen has been in Beijing for a long time, there are few opportunities to meet Shen Qian, and it is easy to get to the Lantern Festival, so he naturally wants to take advantage of the festival to get close and familiar.

When Ji Cheng was about to go out, Yunzhu from Changheng Courtyard sent Brother Hong over. As soon as Brother Hong saw Ji Cheng, he ran over, "Sister Cheng, it was my father who agreed to let me come to play with you." ”

Ji Cheng remembered what Shen Yu and Brother Hong said last time they came to visit him, and it seemed that Shen Yu was true to his word. "Okay, let's go enjoy the lanterns together."

Ji Cheng took Brother Hong'er's hand and didn't dare to let go at all. This Lantern Festival is very lively, and the most important thing is when those people are rampant, she is afraid that she will lose Brother Hong'er in a flash, then her life will be over.

Therefore, Ji Cheng had to instruct Nan Gui, "You just have to look at Brother Hong tonight, don't make any mistakes." ”

Nangui nodded yes.

Today, Ji Cheng and the others went to enjoy the lanterns near the City God Temple, which was mixed with fish and dragons, and it was more lively than the Royal Street.

Brother Hong rarely comes out to let off steam, and the day before yesterday he went out with Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan was afraid that he would choke after eating too much, run fast and fall, and be nagging all the way, so that Brother Hong was so angry that he jumped to his feet, which was worse than going out with his father.

Tonight was different, Ji Cheng didn't control him at all.

Ji Cheng felt that don't look at Brother Hong'er and look at the thinness, that strength is really not small, according to him, it is because his father Shen Yu □□ him boxing, of course, Brother Hong is born with a good physique. In Shen Che's words, it is called the best bones, and he is a natural talent for martial arts. The others are like ghosts and elves, and it is impossible for an idle person to abduct him silently.

So Ji Cheng didn't hold Brother Hong, she herself came over as a child of such a big age, and now she still remembers her appearance at the beginning, like a wild horse, just trying to be happy.

Brother Hong ate the jujube paste box, and made a fuss about eating cloud cake. Yunzhu on the side scared him and said: "The things outside are not clean, if you want to eat, I will go to Deyunlou to buy it for you, his cloud cake is the most famous." ”

Brother Hong doesn't follow.

Ji Cheng smiled: "If you want to eat, you can eat, but if you eat badly, tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first month, and you won't be able to come out." ”

These words directly pinched Brother Hong'er's seven inches, and he obediently put down the cloud cake on the small vendor that looked very sloppy.

This Ji Cheng took Brother Hong around the City God Temple, Shen Qian and Zeng Xiuwen walked side by side behind everyone, and Ji Cheng also took advantage of Brother Hong to buy gadgets to look sideways. I can't say that it's really a talented woman and a good match.

Ji Cheng bent down and gently wiped the corners of his mouth for Brother Hong, Brother Hong said thank you, turned his head and buried his eyes in the sugar gourd.

The rock sugar gourd was inserted in the straw pier, and it looked very delicious, Ji Cheng had to buy a bunch for Brother Hong, his age was the age when he was eating in addition to playing.

Chu Zhen was originally drinking with his friends upstairs, but his mind was not at the banquet all the time, and he looked down from time to time, hoping to meet someone from the Shen family.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and it really made Chu Zhen see Ji Cheng, she bent down to wipe Brother Hong's mouth, and somehow scratched Chu Zhen's heart for a while, and immediately turned around and went downstairs.

However, because there were too many people, it was really not easy for Chu Zhen to squeeze to Ji Cheng's side, and he let Shen Xun see it before he got close, and Shen Wei waved his handkerchief excitedly, "Really long brother." ”

Although Chu Zhen didn't want to entertain Shen Jing, the two families were relatives, and since they saw it, they couldn't help but say hello. However, Shen Jing's words were really a lot, and Chu Zhen's brain hurt because of the chatter, but it was not without gain.

At least Chu Zhen knew that Ji Cheng was going to get married, and at that time, Chu Zhen felt as if he had been drenched with a basin of ice water on his head, and he only felt cold from head to toe.

Chu Zhen liked Ji Cheng, and when his mother mentioned his family affairs, he used to avoid it, but when the princess of Nanjun mentioned it again a few years ago, Chu Zhen did not perfunctory his mother with words such as that he was still young and that men should be dedicated to making meritorious contributions.

The princess of the county naturally wanted to ask Chu Zhen what he thought, she originally thought that Chu Zhen had fallen in love with Shen Jing, and she planned to betroth the two first, the Shen family is famous for their daughter, and they must leave Shen Zhen until they are seventeen or eight years old before they get married, at that time, Chu Zhen's age was only around twenty, and they were just the right age for each other, and they could also have children after the round house.

After Chu Zhen twisted a little, he actually said Ji Cheng's name.

The princess of the county naturally remembered Ji Cheng, because this girl's color was too outstanding, and it was difficult for people to ignore it. The princess of the county is not afraid that her daughter-in-law will be too beautiful and spoil her son, because Chu Zhen is a wood who does not understand the affairs of men and women.

It's just that even if Ji Cheng is a poor and talented daughter, the princess of the county can calm down for Chu without saying a word, but the daughter of the merchant really makes the princess of the county dislike, and if she doesn't say anything, take Ji Cheng's aunt Ji Lan as an example, and the princess of the county will look down on Ji Lan's style.

Moreover, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and the matter between Shen Che and the eldest son of the Qi family has already been guessed. It's just that people have made a pretense, and everyone is a person with a head and face and doesn't expose it. is just like this, but it makes people very suspicious of the character of the Ji family.

Probably because the previous daughters of the Shen family were all outstanding, the girl who married was also highly praised in her husband's family, and Shen Qian was also famous for her dignified conduct, as for Shen Cui's incident, many people naturally attributed the source to the Ji family's bloodline.

Princess Nanjun naturally looked down on Ji Cheng, but she was a smart woman, and she knew that if she objected, she might not be able to make trouble in Chu Zhen.

"It's her, I remember, she was born very smart, and she is worthy of my son." Princess Nanjun said with a smile.

Chu Zhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, since his mother said so, it was not against Ji Cheng.

"But you also know that you are my only son, you can't be cautious when marrying the princess, although I have met Miss Ji before, but I don't know much about her character, anyway, you are still young, how about we slowly observe for a while?" Nanjun Wangfu Road.

"Mother concubine ......" Chu Zhen was reluctant.

Princess Nanjun said again: "Zhen'er, your family affairs are not something that I can agree with your father and a nod, your princess will be on the jade in the future, and the opinions of the palace will still have to be heard, don't worry, your favorite mother will naturally marry you back." ”

After all, Chu Zhen is too young, and his methods can't compare to his mother at all, so he even listened to the words of Princess Nanjun, "But if you wait for a long time, what if Miss Ji is married?" ”

Princess Nanjun smiled, "I know a little bit about this Miss Ji, she hasn't decided to marry yet, she just wants to make a family affair in Beijing, it's been more than half a year and I haven't heard any movement, and I haven't heard the lady say that she wants to marry her, don't worry, I won't be able to run away from you for a while." "Princess Nanjun is a little mean when she says this, she is directly saying that Ji Cheng is not wanted.

Although Chu Zhen didn't like it in his heart, he didn't dare to offend his mother, for fear that she would target Ji Cheng, "That's because no one else knows her good." ”

When Princess Nanjun heard this, she was even more angry, and she knew that Ji Cheng was a frivolous and wild woman, otherwise how could Chu Zhen say such a thing? What good does he know about her? Didn't you already have a beginning and an end?

Princess Nanjun became more and more firm in her heart, and she must not let a woman like Ji Cheng enter the door.

But it was said that Chu Zhen was fooled by the princess of Nanjun and was very hopeful for his marriage to Ji Cheng, who knew that at this time, he suddenly heard Shen Wei say that Ji Cheng was going to marry, and suddenly it seemed that there was thunder on the ground.

Chu Zhen only felt tinnitus, and Shen Wei continued to speak, "Two days ago, Sister Cheng looked at the He family's brother, and both sides were very satisfied with this marriage, and when the snow on the mountain melted after the first month, the He family was going to send someone to Jinbei to propose marriage." ”

Chu Zhenmu looked in Ji Cheng's direction in a daze, and it happened that Ji Cheng was also looking back, and their eyes met in the air, Ji Cheng smiled lightly and quickly turned his gaze.

Chu Zhen looked at Ji Cheng stupidly. Ji Cheng wore a royal blue dark silver embroidered cloak with peony today, and the gray fox fur on the edge of the cloak lined Ji Cheng's face more and more crystal like jade.

Chu Zhen's whole heart seemed to be hollowed out, he wanted to do something, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only turn around and stride away from the crowd.
