Chapter 107: Lonely Snow

"The moonlight is nice today. A few days ago, it snowed every day, I thought I couldn't see the full moon for these two days, but I didn't expect the sky to be beautiful, this morning it was actually clear, how about we go to the mountain to enjoy the moon? ”

Ji Cheng looked at Shen Che, who was very interested, and reminded himself not to offend Shen Che, so he said knowingly: "Okay." ”

The so-called mountain is actually the place where the barbecue banquet was held in Jiuliyuan last time, and after days of heavy snowfall, the top of the mountain is already white again, and even a footprint can not be seen.

"Don't spoil this snowy scene, I'll take you up."

Before Ji Cheng came back to his senses, he was gently grabbed by Shen Che and flew over. In fact, it's not called flying, it's just sticking to the snow, but because Ji Cheng didn't feel that his feet were exerting force at all, it felt similar to flying.

Because the experience was so novel, Ji Cheng directly ignored Shen Che's slightly impolite behavior towards her, intentionally or unintentionally.

There is a round of ice moon hanging in the cold blue sky, accompanied by the cold wind, which is extremely distant and lonely, which makes people think of Chang'e on the moon who should repent of stealing the elixir.

The Bird's Nest Pavilion was unexpectedly warm, and Ji Cheng looked around, but he didn't see the stove and felt magical. She took off her cloak and sat down on a long blanket on the floor, "as if there was no such blanket when I came back." ”

Shen Che only smiled and didn't answer.

Ji Cheng instantly comprehended, this was probably prepared for himself.

The pavilion was full of water utensils and tea utensils, and Ji Cheng couldn't help but say, "Do you want to make tea again?" In fact, she is really not used to drinking tea at night, and she doesn't sleep very well.

"Then what else to drink?" Shen Che asked rhetorically.

"How about a small drink to the moon?" It's better to warm your stomach with a little wine than a faint taste of tea.

"Okay." Shen Che moved the rope in his hand and commanded, "Send some wine and food." The voice was not loud, Ji Cheng didn't know who he was talking to, but after a while, he saw something in the air sliding over.

Ji Cheng looked intently, only to find that there was a rope tied between the tree on the side of the mountain and the bird's nest pavilion, and at this moment, a food box containing wine and food was sliding along the rope.

"Why is this happening?" Ji Cheng pointed to the rope.

"Save them from coming up and trampling my snow." Shen Che said.

Ji Cheng suddenly remembered the last time they came to barbecue and trampled the snow into a mess, "Then ...... last time"

"In the winter, Ah Wei doesn't want to enter my Jiuli Courtyard again anyway." Shen Che got up and took down the food box.

After a while, another iron box was sent over, and when I took it down, I realized that it was a simple iron stove.

Shen Che sat the wine pot in the kettle on the tandoor next to it and scalded it, and put the iron stove on the low stone table in the pavilion, the charcoal fire had already been burned, Ji Cheng saw Shen Che open the food box sent before, and there were several drawers of half a palm-sized pork belly inside, very particular, Ji Cheng counted carefully, it was really five layers of fat and thin, and there were not many pork belly that could be cut out of such a good quality on a pig.

Shen Che used a bamboo tong to put the pork belly on the iron stove one by one and roasted it, and after a while, the oil fragrance of Zizi spread.

It's cold and windy outside, but inside the bird's nest is a warm world, and this contrast makes people feel a sense of comfort and pleasure for no reason.

"Taste it." Shen Che sandwiched a slice into Ji Cheng's plate.

Ji Cheng had already moved his index fingers, and he didn't say anything polite to Shen Che, he dipped it in the dipping sauce prepared by the feather coat, the taste was strange and delicious, fragrant and spicy, with sweetness, and added sesame paste and a hint of milk sauce, this material is bold enough, but the taste is really good.

Ji Cheng didn't speak, and only ate three slices in a row, which was enough to express her liking.

Shen Che poured a glass of wine for Ji Cheng, "After drinking this cup, how about we change from the second son back to cousin Che?" ”

Ji Cheng's face turned red, and he didn't move with the wine.

Shen Che didn't persuade again, and drank the wine in the cup first.

Ji Cheng was stunned, and had no choice but to drink the wine in the cup.

"How did the third aunt handle Shen Cui's matter?" Shen Che asked.

It's not good, for Shen Cui, it's thunder and rain, because she just got bored, so she only waits wholeheartedly, not to mention scolding, she doesn't even speak loudly, and the person who complains in her mouth is either Qi Zheng or Ji Cheng.

As for Qi Zheng's side, Ji Cheng said honestly: "The Qi family wants 50,000 taels of silver before they are willing to come to the door to propose, otherwise they will let the fifth sister carry in through the side door." ”

"Fifty thousand taels?" Shen Che sneered and asked again, "The third aunt is looking for you to get the silver?" ”

Ji Cheng nodded.

"Will you do it?" Shen Che asked.

Ji Cheng smiled slyly, "Cousin Che asked me to take it, and I will take it." ”

"Then I said don't take it." Shen Che replied.

Ji Cheng felt that Shen Che was really bad, "When I treated Ah Cui like that, you taught me a bad lesson?" How can it be Qi Zheng's turn that you are indifferent? ”

Shen Che took a sip of wine, "That's because the more I teach you Ah Cui, the happier I become, but if I teach Qi Zheng, I'm afraid that my fifth sister will hate me to the core." ”

Ji Cheng smiled: "You can see it quite clearly." ”

"But since Ah Cheng has called me cousin again, I will always save the 50,000 taels of silver for you." Shen Che said.

Ji Cheng looked at Shen Che when he heard this, and he didn't speak, but said in his heart: Heh, you can't help but make a move, and you come to me to sell it, can't I see it?

"Then thank you, cousin Che." Ji Cheng made a toast gesture towards Shen Che.

The wine is a good wine, and the jade spring white that has been aged for 20 years is slightly sweet in the mouth, full of stamina, and people will get drunk before they know it.

Ji Cheng's heart was beating a little uncomfortably, and he lay on the table with his hands on the pillow and did not move.

"What do you most want to do right now?" Shen Che asked.

Ji Cheng's head twisted, "I want to dance." ”

"What dance?" Shen Che asked again.

"It's a pity I didn't bring my sword." Ji Cheng was a little regretful.

"Oh." Shen Che replied, with a hint of disappointment.

"Do you have a sword to lend me?" Ji Cheng asked again.

Shen Che nodded, and after a while, he didn't know where to conjure a light sword, Ji Cheng took the sword and was gently taken by Shen Che, and it landed on the stone platform on the edge of the cliff.

The stone platform was about six feet square, and the snow on it was blown by the wind, leaving only a thin layer.

Shen Che held Ji Cheng's arm and asked her to stand up, "Can you still stand?" ”

Ji Cheng didn't want him either, and only pulled the cold and shining sword out of the scabbard. His heart was beating too fast, and the blood in his veins seemed to be rushing too fast, and Ji Cheng couldn't wait to dance the sword dance.

Drunk and looking at the sword, stepping on the moon and returning to the wind on the snow, and the beauty dancing alone, there is probably no one more comfortable than Shen Che in this situation.

Ji Cheng danced happily, so the anger, resentment, and turbidity all dispersed with the cold light of the sword, and at the end, she saw that there was water under the cliff, and there was ice on the water surface, reflecting the moonlight, and she was also reflected in it, Ji Cheng saw that the people in the ice were cute, and stepped out as soon as his feet were raised.

The person floated down like a fallen leaf, and he was not afraid when he was drunk, but laughed, and when Shen Che grabbed her belt from behind, Ji Cheng twisted it, she hadn't flown enough here.

Although he didn't fly enough, he was really tired, Ji Cheng wrapped his hands around Shen Che's neck, leaned on his arms and fell asleep peacefully.

Shen Che's toes borrowed strength on the ice below and jumped back to the platform just now, and then he exhaled. Sure enough, drunk people don't have many brains.

When Ji Cheng woke up, it was still dark. She only felt a headache and dry mouth and hot lungs, she got up while touching her forehead, and was stunned for a moment before she could see the things around her clearly, she was still in the bird's nest on the top of the mountain in Jiuliyuan, wearing her own cloak and Shen Che's cloak, just lying on the blanket and falling asleep.

Ji Cheng twisted his neck, thinking that Shen Che had already left, but when he looked up, he saw that he was leaning on the pillar of the bird's nest with one leg bent and the other leg straight, with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

Ji Cheng was still dizzy, and moved to Shen Che's side, but heard him say, "Rest for a while, I'll send you back." ”

Ji Cheng's current condition is that he is very unconscious in the middle of sleeping, his throat is dry and smoking, he wants to drink water but can't speak, Ji Cheng struggles to support himself, and wants to find some water to drink.

As a result, as soon as Ji Cheng's hand stretched out, he heard Shen Che say, "Don't touch me!" ”

It's a pity that the words were a little late, Ji Cheng's hand had just touched the corner of Shen Che's clothes, and she felt a little burning coming from her fingertips, and she quickly withdrew her hand, but her fingertips were already red.

Before Ji Cheng could react to what was going on, Shen Che had already gotten up and grabbed a handful of snow outside and stuffed it into the hand that Ji Cheng had burned just now.

Although it was amazingly hot, after all, it shrank quickly, and the cold temperature of the snow relieved the pain in Ji Cheng's fingertips at once, and she stuffed the snow into her mouth with her hand, she was so thirsty that she also needed to be sober.

Shen Che watched Ji Cheng crunch and bite the snow with amusement, "Are you so thirsty?" ”

Ji Cheng let out a "hmm".

Shen Che took warm tea from the small table next to him and handed it to Ji Cheng's mouth, "Drink it." ”

Probably drunk too quickly, Ji Cheng choked, and the water droplets slowly slid down his chin to the neckline, and Ji Cheng still didn't realize it.

Winter clothes are only warm, so they are tightly wrapped, but after a sleep, the clothes will inevitably be loose, the neckline is wide, although the gap in the neckline is still too small to be seen, but it has left room for the eyes to imagine.

Shen Che shook his head, and saw the red marks on the cheeks of the beauty after being sleepy in winter, just a little bit of color, which already made people think.

After Ji Cheng ate the snow and drank tea, he finally sobered up a little, and as soon as he woke up, he thought about saying goodbye, but he heard Shen Che say: "Let's sleep again, and I'll send you back later." ”

This was the last sentence Ji Cheng heard when she was conscious, and then she didn't know where the sleepiness came from, so she obediently leaned back on the blanket.

Shen Che got up to put on Ji Cheng's cloak again, but he couldn't help lowering his head when he approached, the tip of Shen Che's nose was almost close to Ji Cheng's lips, and the sweet fragrance like fruit penetrated into his nose, making people throb from the tail vertebrae.

Shen Che slowly raised his head, sat back on the pavilion pillar, and breathed again.

When Ji Cheng woke up, she had already returned to the bed in the small cross courtyard, she rubbed her forehead with mint water to wake up, and asked someone to call Nan Gui in, "When did you send me back last night?" ”

"It's probably the first moment." Nangui Road.

Ji Cheng smiled reluctantly, "Why didn't you wake me up at that time?" ”

Nan Gui lowered his eyes and said: "Childe won't let me, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to fall asleep if I wake up the girl." ”

Ji Cheng didn't know what Shen Che was thinking, even if the relationship between her and him was "not ordinary", but the harm between men and women always had to be scrupulous, right? He didn't even care if he was drunk, just like that, like that for a night, it was just ......

Ji Cheng's fingers tightly grasped the quilt, and finally asked, "When he handed me over to you, was my clothes neat?" ”

Nangui was slightly taken aback, "Naturally, it's neat." ”

Ji Cheng waved his hand to let Nan Gui retreat, Shen Che's behavior made her a little incomprehensible. If she had changed to another girl, she was afraid that she would have thought in that beautiful direction earlier, but Ji Cheng didn't see a trace of admiration in Shen Che's eyes, so she was very sober.

To say that Shen Che needs to rely on "beauty" to envelop himself, that's not like it. No matter how smart Ji Cheng is, I'm afraid he can't guess that Shen Che is just her as a "medicine primer".

Let's not talk about these troubles, but say that not long after breakfast, a big thing happened.

Ji Lan and Shen Cui were all called to Rui Yingtang, and Ji Cheng knew with his toes that it must have happened and was known by the old lady.

Sure enough, as soon as Ji Lan and Shen Cui entered Rui Ying Hall, they were scolded by the third master, Shen Ying: "Bastard, don't kneel down quickly." ”

Shen Cui was so frightened that he took a step back and went to the corner of Ji Lan's clothes.

Ji Lan swept around, Princess An He and the Huang family were all present, and even Shen Qian and Shen Wei were there. Fortunately, the old lady also saved a little face for Ji Lan, except for Mama Cao beside her, the other people who should be serving all retreated.

"Do you know what I called you mother and daughter for?" The old lady asked with a cold face. Since the old lady handed over all the affairs of the house to the Huang family, he has never been so cold-faced as he is now.

Ji Lan naturally guessed it, and the first thought that came to mind was that Ji Cheng's little slut must have been informant, just because she was unwilling to give the 50,000 taels of silver. Ji Lan is also remorseful now, she knew that she shouldn't have forced Ji Cheng so much.

It's just that Ji Lan thinks that she has managed Ji Cheng very strictly these days, and she can't even get out of the third room when she is free, even if she goes out again, she has to follow people around her, and I don't know when she told the secret.

"In the past, the third child said that he wanted to marry you, because he liked it, and I didn't want to hurt my son's heart. I've been confused all these years, and I just don't see it. Some things can be confused, but some things can't be confused, and there has never been such an ugly thing in our Guogong Mansion for more than a hundred years. The son is not the godfather's fault, and the third child should also kneel. The old lady said.

Shen Ying lifted his robe and knelt down with a "bang", "It's the son who is unfilial and makes his mother sad." Such a stupid woman is all up to her mother, and as for this unfilial daughter, I just don't think I gave birth to her. ”

"Sir." When Ji Lan heard this, she threw herself at Shen Ying's feet, "Master, how can you be so ruthless?!" As soon as Ji Lan heard what Shen Ying meant, he understood that he was asking for Shen Cui's life.

Shen Ying drooped his shoulders as if he was ten years old, and ignored Ji Lan, only kowtowed to the old lady and said: "If something like this happens, my son will not have the face to be an official in the court anymore, and he will resign tomorrow." ”

The old lady said, "Okay, it's in vain that I have raised you for so many years." It's okay to resign first, and when you can really stand up, it's not too late to come out. No matter how much your daughter-in-law has, she also gave birth to two sons for you, and she also kept filial piety for your father for three years, and our family did not suspend her, and sent her to the family temple to recuperate for three years. As for Ah Cui......"

Shen Cui heard that there was something else he didn't understand here, and crawled to the old lady's feet with tears on his face, "Old ancestor, old ancestor......"

"You choose for yourself, either you lose your hair and become a sister-in-law, or you can go clean with a white silk." The old lady said.

"Old Ancestor!!" Ji Lan and Shen Cui cried at the same time.

"Ancestor, Ah Cui is your granddaughter, she is young and ignorant, you can forgive her this time, let me eat and pray in the nunnery for the rest of my life, I am also willing, please, please." Ji Lan cried. She has been the daughter-in-law of the old lady for so many years, how can she not understand that the old lady has always been true to her word, and since she has said such a decision, it is impossible to take it back.

The old lady waved her hand, "I knew today, why didn't you think about it when I did evil?" ”

Ji Lan rushed over and hugged the old lady's legs, "Old ancestor, what did Ji Cheng's little slut tell you?" Ah Cui is your own granddaughter, you know her best who she is, she can't do that kind of thing herself......"

The old lady's eyes widened, "You're still pushing things on others?" Everyone else is wrong, but you are right? That's how you raised your daughter? No wonder Shen Cui could do such a thing! ”

Ji Lan was stunned, "Isn't it her?" ”

The old lady sneered, "Okay, so that you can make it clear that our Shen family's face has been lost by you." My Coriander and Ah Wei were all affected by Shen Cui. Do you think Ji Cheng said it? I heard it from Qi Zheng's mouth. also said that the third lady of our family rushed to the Qi family in order to marry her shameless daughter! Otherwise, people won't even give it to Mrs. Zhengtou. ”

"How dare he?!" Ji Lan clenched his fists with tears in his eyes.

Qi Zheng naturally didn't dare, but someone used his name to tell the old lady about the matter.

Ji Cheng was detained in the small cross courtyard and couldn't get out, and he couldn't guess how the old lady would deal with this matter. It was a long time before news came from outside.

"Girl, the old lady wants to send the third lady to the family temple, and she wants to let the fifth girl be her sister-in-law. At this time, Mama Cao was guarding the third lady and the fifth girl to pack up their things. Yu Qian'er said in a panic.

Although this kind of disposal had appeared in Ji Cheng's mind, she didn't really think that the old lady would do this. Listening to it at this time, Ji Cheng felt both admiration and some indescribable feelings in his heart.

The old lady's disposition is naturally a family style, and in the future, I am afraid that no one in the future generations will dare to do something like Shen Cui. She looked down on Ji Lan, probably because she thought that Ji Lan couldn't teach children, and would only spoil them blindly, so she had a temperament like Shen Cui.

But on the other hand, I think that if I ruined Shen Cui's life like this for the sake of family style, I will inevitably lose my blood and family affection again.

Ji Cheng sighed, "Pack up our things and go to the old lady later." "Since there is such a trouble, Ji Cheng has no face to stay in the Shen family, needless to say that she guessed that this matter must have been stabbed out by Shen Che, through Shen Cui's knife to worship the monkey, although the reputation of the Shen family has been broken for a while, but from the perspective of the century-old plan, only if the family style is correct and the younger generations are promising, the Shen family can continue.

Ji Cheng rubbed his eyebrows, and scolded Shen Cui in his heart, but in the end, she still blamed herself, if she hadn't let the situation develop and reminded Ji Landuo a few times, the matter between Shen Cui and Qi Zheng would not have developed like this.

Of course, Shen Cui's idiot ran to see Qi Zheng, which was also a key, and Qi Zheng began to sit on the ground and raise prices. But Shen Che is not a thing, it is simply two-faced and three-faced, you think he is good to you, you can be stabbed when you turn around, and then turn around and come to coax you again.

If Ji Cheng knew what "snake spirit disease" was, she would definitely give these three words to Shen Che.

It is said that as soon as Shen Cui and Ji Lan were sent away, another major incident happened in front of the Shen family.

Qi Zheng, the eldest son of Yunyang Bofu, actually ran to the door of the Shen Mansion and knelt down, just to ask for the five girls of the Shen family.

At this time, the door of Shen's house was surrounded by people watching the excitement. Although Qi Zheng is not a celebrity, Shen Cui is hot this year, and the performance in Zhongtan is still remembered by the people.

Not to mention the beauty of life, the voice is like a natural sound, and the background is so prominent, which simply satisfies a fantasy in the hearts of ordinary people.

In fact, many people want to come to the door of Shen's house to ask for marriage like the eldest prince of Qi, but they are self-aware, and they know that their identity is definitely not worthy. So everyone is just watching a play, just waiting to see the reaction of the Shen family, and they don't know if the eldest prince of Qi can hold the beauty.

When the old lady heard this trouble, her temples jumped and hurt, and she leaned on the bed and complained to Shen Che: "Marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, you must keep your eyes open when you marry a daughter-in-law in the future." If it's like your third aunt, the whole family will be ruined by her. It's a pity that Ah Jing didn't give it to her at the beginning. ”

"Your old man should relax his heart, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." Shen Che said.

As he was talking, Yun Jin entered the door and replied, "Ancestor, Miss Ji wants to see you outside the door." ”

"Nope." The old lady replied, and when Yunjin went out, the old lady spoke: "I thought she was a good one, but the Ji family was all a raccoon dog." She is so close to Ah Cui, if she hadn't helped hide it, Ah Cui would have dared to do these shameless things? ”

Shen Che said: "The ancestors have never looked at people. The cousin of the Ji family is wronged, and your old man doesn't know Ah Cui's temperament, can Ji Cheng manage her? She's a smart person, doesn't she know what her own consequences will be if Ah Cui does such a thing? ”
