Chapter 146: Peach Blossoms Bloom
Shen Che is quite restrained, except for the occasional loss of control, although Ji Cheng is held in Shen Che's arms and sleeps every night, he actually doesn't have many times, only once in a few days. Compared with that kind of thing, Ji Cheng felt that Shen Che liked to bite, gnaw, and touch people, and it was very annoying anyway.
When you think of Shen Che, you will naturally think of his situation. Ji Cheng's heart was in a hurry, but he could only wait. When he slept at night, Ji Cheng would also think in his heart, what would happen if Shen Che really died in Gumo as she calculated?
Ji Cheng only felt guilty about Old Lady Shen and Princess Anhe, and even Shen Wei and Shen Qian gradually began to be estranged, and they didn't feel so guilty if they didn't get closer. But if he wanted her to let Shen Che go, he couldn't, because he didn't want to let her go at all.
If it weren't for Shen Che forcing her step by step, she wouldn't want his life.
It's all Shen Che's fault! Ji Cheng comforted his slightly irritable heart.
The anxious waiting time is always very long, but the days finally lasted until June, and the day of Shen Cui's marriage was just around the corner.
In the summer of June, even Dongshan Academy gave the students a few more days off, Shen Jing and Ji Yuan returned to Shen Mansion together, Ji Yuan could still live in Shen Mansion before, but now that Ji Cheng's sister-in-law has arrived in the capital, Ji Yuan naturally wants to go back to accompany Fan Zengli.
And last time when Shen Qian got married, Shen Jing couldn't find a chance to talk to Ji Cheng, and now he can finally touch Ji Cheng after ten days off.
Ji Cheng was accompanying the guests at home with Shen He and Shen Jing in the Chime Garden this day, because Shen Qian and Shen Wei were close to each other, and there was no need for the guests to go back and come back, but they were troublesome, so the Chime Garden was lively every day, and there were Kabuki singing and dancing every day.
Many wives with unmarried nobles in their families will always inadvertently mention Shen Che and say why they haven't seen their second son for a few days.
Feng Qing also pricked up her ears when she heard this, but Shen He didn't seem to be hot anymore, and Ji Cheng guessed that Shen Che must have beaten her.
The ladies couldn't find Shen Che, Shen Jing became a sweetheart, and Ji Lan was also happy to push Shen Jing out, and after the autumn of August, Shen Jing would have to say goodbye.
Shen Jing was dazzled by this cousin and that cousin every day, and he still couldn't match his name and face, and when he finally caught Ji Cheng, it was like seeing a life-saving bodhisattva.
"Sister Cheng, I can be regarded as finding you. Ah Cui is looking for you everywhere, come with me, otherwise I don't know how she will lose her temper. Shen Jing stepped quickly in front of Ji Cheng.
Ji Cheng didn't think that Shen Cui was looking for her, but he just looked at Shen Jing with a helpless face, and a few girls looked at the bushes behind him, and suddenly understood what the situation was.
Speaking of which, Ji Cheng and Shen Jing have not seen each other for many days, but I feel that he has grown a little taller, because of his appearance, he has the advantages of the third master, Shen Ying and Ji Lan, and he is born like Fu Fan, with red lips and white teeth, and he is angry and thick, which is very much the heart of the little girl.
Shen Jing saw that Ji Cheng didn't answer, so he hurriedly gave her a look, squeezing his eyebrows and making eyes so funny. Ji Cheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Where is Ah Cui at this time, cousin take me there." ”
Shen Jing breathed a sigh of relief and led Ji Cheng forward, only he was careful, he stopped and waited for Ji Cheng after taking two steps, he also liked this, and he could take the opportunity to look at Ji Cheng carefully.
Shen Jing only felt that every time she saw Ji Cheng, she seemed to be more beautiful, the sun was shining on Ji Cheng's face, and the fine fluff on the girl's face looked cute and warm in the sun, making people can't help but itch their hands and want to touch it.
"Sister Cheng." Shen Jing called in a low voice again, in fact, he didn't have anything to say, but just calling her like this made her feel that her heart was full, and her whole body was as comfortable as a spring breeze.
Ji Cheng looked at Shen Jing's expression and sighed in her heart, she had already avoided Shen Jing as much as possible.
There are people coming and going in this garden, and there are girls around him, Shen Jing can't say anything to Ji Cheng, and when Ji Cheng is led to the foot of the rockery, Shen Jing took advantage of the corner and said to Ji Cheng in a low voice: "Sister Cheng, you wait for me, I won't let you be laughed at after the autumn." ”
Shen Jing had already heard the news that many people were laughing at Ji Cheng's family affairs in private, Ye Lang would rather marry a bucktooth girl than marry Ji Cheng, but people laughed at Ji Cheng for a long time. At that time, Shen Jing was so angry that he clenched his fists, but now that he has no merit and fame, he relies on his parents everywhere, and he doesn't dare to insist in front of Ji Lan, for fear that things will not work out but make Ji Lan annoy Ji Cheng.
Ji Cheng was about to speak when he heard it, but he saw a person coming down from the stone path on the rockery, who was it not Shen Yu?
Shen Jing called out "big brother" awkwardly, and he didn't know if Shen Yu listened to what he just said, "I'll lead Sister Cheng to find Ah Cui." ”
Shen Yu said "um", "Ah Cui is in the fishing pavilion by the water in front of him. ”
When Ji Cheng heard this, he immediately said to Shen Jing: "Cousin Jing, I'll just go over by myself, you go back to greet the guests, my aunt may be looking for you." ”
As soon as he heard Ji Cheng mention Ji Lan, Shen Jing couldn't stay any longer, he was indeed afraid that Ji Lan would find him, if he heard that he was with Ji Cheng, his mother would definitely have to lecture him again. Shen Jing was not afraid of Ji Lan's reprimand, but he thought Ji Lan was too nagging, and he had no patience to listen to it.
"Alright, go over by yourself." Shen Jing said.
Ji Cheng said goodbye to Shen Jing and Shen Yu and went to the Guanyu Pavilion, but before she took two steps, she heard Shen Yu call her, "Sister Cheng." ”
Ji Cheng turned around and saw Shen Yu standing under the willow tree by the pool, and a pair of mandarin ducks just swam to the edge of the pool to play in the water.
Ji Cheng took two steps back and lowered his eyes, "What is the matter with my cousin looking for me?" ”
Shen Yu didn't speak, just when Ji Cheng thought that he would never speak for a long time, he heard Shen Yu say: "Ah Cheng, I want to marry you, I will tell my mother in the next two days, but you may be troubled by her, but there will be no problems with our family affairs." If you don't object, just nod. ”
Ji Cheng raised her head in surprise and looked at Shen Yu in disbelief, she thought that Shen Yu had a good impression of her at most, but she didn't expect him to say such a thing.
Ji Cheng wanted to nod, but the premise was that Shen Che would never come back, and the people of the Shen family would never know the truth. But Ji Cheng is not ready to take this risk at all, there is no need to live in guilt for the rest of his life. She calculates Shen Che, that is what Shen Che owes her, but marrying Shen Yu, that is what she owes Shen Yu.
Ji Cheng looked at Shen Yu's eyes and said, "I don't deserve my cousin, I can only live up to my cousin's wrong love." ”
Shen Yu was silent, he also expected in his heart that Ji Cheng might refuse, but he was very sure that Ji Cheng should not refuse.
"There is no deserving of it. If you have any other concerns, you can tell me, and if it's for my mother, I can assure you that she can't stop it. After slowing down, Shen Yu added: "Or are you worried about Brother Hong?" ”
Ji Cheng shook his head, "I like Brother Hong very much, but I am different from my cousin Yunni, so I don't dare to have any delusions." If my cousin has nothing else to do, I'll go first. Ji Cheng blessed Shen Yu, turned around and was about to leave.
"Are you Archer Heart?" Shen Yu asked behind Ji Cheng.
Ji Cheng's footsteps paused, and he looked back at Shen Yu, "I am also different from Cousin Che, and I treat him in my heart as nothing special." ”
Shen Yu frowned, then he really couldn't think of why Ji Cheng would reject him, you must know that she even approved of Ye Lang's family affairs, but why did she reject herself?
However, Shen Yu is not an easy person to give up, his determination is not easy, but once he makes up his mind, it is difficult to change easily.
Ji Cheng only felt that the gaze on his back was hot, and he slightly accelerated his pace to find Shen Cui, Shen Cui naturally didn't look for Ji Cheng, but she didn't mind Ji Cheng going to her, after all, it was still okay to buy a smiling face for five thousand taels of silver.
Ji Qing returned to Jindi on the second day of Shen Qian's marriage, and the old lady specially asked Ji Cheng a few words, now that Shen Cui's good days are approaching, Ji Qing finally returned to Beijing in advance.
Ji Cheng naturally also went to Orchid Lane to accompany Ji Qing. However, since Ji Qing arrived in Jingshi, there have been socials every day, and there are constant banquets on the table, this is a businessman.
And the Shen family's wedding banquet has also begun to set up wine, this is not the right day, but the pomp and circumstance of the marriage of the Beijing master is like this, Ji Lan even used the highest specifications, first set up a flowing water banquet for seven days and seven nights, which is all white flowers.
When Ji Qing went to the capital, he naturally made up for Ji Lan a little, but he won a smile from his sister. As for Ji Lan's words about Ji Cheng, of course Ji Qing would not tell Ji Cheng, and both sides dealt with it.
On this day, Ji Qing came back from eating and drinking in the Shen Mansion, and his face was flushed with happiness, so that Ji Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Why is Daddy so happy today?" "A few years ago, the young man also went to the Shen Mansion to eat and drink, but due to his limited identity, even if he is Ji Lan's brother, even Ji Lan himself doesn't greet him much, except for having a smiling face when he asks for silver, he is also to avoid suspicion, so when he didn't return to Ji Qing to the Shen Mansion as a guest, although he didn't feel embarrassed, it was rare to be so smiling.
"It's too long to be a father today. Hey, the demeanor of this son-in-law is different, especially the eldest son of the Shen family, I thought he was arrogant, how do you know that he is so approachable, not to mention treating people, even our in-laws take care of them very thoughtfully, and they also introduced many nobles to my father. Ji Qing said with a smile. In fact, he was also muttering in his heart, it was not that he had never seen Shen Yu before, but he had never seen him so enthusiastic, which really made Ji Qing a little apprehensive.
As soon as Ji Cheng heard Ji Qing's words, he knew that Shen Yu was not dead.
Ji Qing looked at Ji Cheng's expression carefully, although he was a man, he was not lacking in carefulness, and now looking at Ji Cheng's evasive look, he guessed one or two points, but he didn't break it, after all, the difference between their family and the Shen family was too far, and Shen Yu was the eldest son of the Shen family's second room, and he still had a title on his body, and the possibility of marrying Ji Cheng was very low, but Ji Qing was not willing to let Ji Cheng go to someone's house to be a concubine.
So Ji Qing didn't take this matter too seriously. But Ji Qing met Shen Yu for several days on the Shen family's flowing water mat, and the other party took the trouble to accompany him, so that people who didn't know the inside story thought that Ji Qing was something terrible to make Shen Yu treat him so thoughtfully.
