Chapter 83: It's hard to get out
Qi Hua couldn't imagine that Ji Cheng was so generous, and she didn't care about Qi Zheng and Shen Cui last time, but she couldn't go a little bit in her heart. "Sister Cheng, I'm really sorry for you."
Ji Cheng pulled Qi Hua's hand, she didn't want to listen to Shen Cui and Qi Zheng, she made up her mind to be an outsider in this matter, Ji Cheng was very open-minded, Shen Cui and Qi Zheng were in love, this was where she couldn't do it, Ji Cheng had no feelings for Qi Zheng himself, but she was a little sorry for losing such a suitable husband candidate.
Ji Cheng and Qi Hua talked for a while, and sure enough, they saw Shen Cui and Qi Zheng coming up one after the other. Shen Cui's eyebrows and eyes were affectionate, his cheeks were red, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, the person was still the same person, but he was three points more beautiful when he saw it, Ji Cheng couldn't help but sigh a little at the power of this relationship between men and women.
Shen Cui saw that Ji Cheng was also there, and came up and sat down next to her, "You walked fast, and you actually came in front of me." ”
Ji Cheng smiled silently.
"Don't rest, it's noon soon, and the ancestor is still waiting for us to eat." After that, Shen Cui took Qi Hua with him and invited her to Huaixue Nunnery for dinner, but as for Qi Zheng, he was deliberately treated coldly by Shen Cui to fake the relationship.
Qi Zheng smiled at Ji Cheng, but the smile was full of apology, and there was a sense of embarrassment that he wanted to say and stopped. In the end, Qi Zheng still said in a low voice: "Miss Ji, I have received your wishes." ”
Ji Cheng looked at Qi Zheng who was leaving quickly, and suddenly realized in his heart that Qi Zheng and her were the same kind of people, Qi Zheng was to himself, just like Shen Cui was to him.
Ji Cheng was bored and smiled self-deprecatingly. No matter what Shen Cui is, whether she is as hot as a charcoal or stubborn, but as long as she is the fifth lady of the Shen family, naturally there are people like Qi Zheng who like her.
And Ji Cheng can imagine that if Qi Zheng marries Shen Cui, he will definitely treat her like a jewel, and he doesn't dare to let her have the slightest grievance.
Ji Cheng looked at the white clouds in the mountains, people in this world are born different, and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning? Sometimes it does seem to be "kind".
Because Shen Che has a kind, he can ruin the foundation of Hao Ren's life with a casual word, and he can't even save his life. A person like him is actually no different from Zhu Jijun at the beginning, I can't say that Ji Cheng sympathizes with Hao Ren a little, and looks at him just like himself at the beginning.
Thinking of Shen Che, when Ji Cheng arrived at Huaixue Nunnery for fasting, he didn't see Shen Che, not even Qi Hua and Qi Zheng. Later, I learned that in order to avoid suspicion, Qi Zheng rejected Shen Cui's kindness and went elsewhere with Qi Hua. I just don't know when the matter of these two people will break through the sky, and whether there will be a good.
After eating, Ji Cheng knew that there was also singing in the nunnery, and she was lonely and unheard of on weekdays, of course, because Ji Cheng rarely went to the nunnery and temple, but the people of Jingshi, whether rich or poor, seemed to like the Buddha and asked.
A few little nuns in this Huaixue Nunnery sang and performed some Buddhist stories, and the old lady watched them with relish, but Shen Qian and Shen Wei didn't like it, so they took Su Yun and Lu Yuan to the mountains.
Ji Cheng accompanied the old lady to watch it, and the old lady smiled: "You young girl, don't accompany my old woman to watch this, go play by yourself, the autumn is a good scenery." ”
Ji Cheng said: "These Buddhist stories are rarely performed in the temples of Jindi, but this is the first time I have seen them, and I think it is interesting, so don't let the ancestors pick me up." ”
When the old lady saw that Ji Cheng was sincere, she became more and more happy, and told her the origin and story while watching the play.
As soon as the play ended, I saw Shen Che coming in from outside, and after drinking wine, his face was a little more red than usual.
As soon as the old lady saw it, she asked the girl to hurry up to the hangover soup, "Drink a lot of bars?" ”
Shen Che said with a smile: "I drank a few glasses, and Zhenchang brought two jars of chrysanthemum wine made by the princess of Nanjun herself." ”
The old lady asked again, "But you drank it when it was warm?" It's cold in this autumn, and drinking cold wine is only afraid of hurting your stomach. ”
"Naturally, it's warm, I know that your old man will definitely be chattering." Shen Che took the hangover soup sent by the girl and drank it.
Ji Cheng watched the pair of grandchildren talking from the side, thinking that the old lady really loved Shen Che the most, no wonder she had raised such a gentleman.
The group began to go down the mountain, the old lady and Mrs. Su walked in front of them in a bamboo sedan chair, and turned around and asked Shen Che to take care of Ji Cheng a little, "It's easy to go up the mountain, it's hard to go down, and it's easiest to fall down the mountain. ”
Shen Che responded in one bite.
Ji Cheng walked in front, and after Shen Che broke off, there were many girls and servants between them, and there was no situation of avoiding suspicion at all, but Ji Cheng had the heart to talk to Shen Che, for fear that the second son of the Shenlong who had returned to Shen Mansion would disappear again.
So Ji Cheng didn't walk long before he excused himself to be tired and rested on the side of the road, and after Shen Che and his party came down, Ji Cheng called out generously, "Cousin Che." ”
"Can you take a step to speak?" Ji Cheng said.
The two of them are cousins, and if they talk generously, they will naturally not arouse suspicion, but if they hide it, it will make people think that they are tired.
Shen Che looked at Ji Cheng and was silent for three breaths, just when Ji Cheng thought he was going to refuse, he saw Shen Che smile, "Sister Cheng wants to speak, there are many people here, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to announce it." ”
Ji Cheng's heart sank, it seemed that Shen Che had long expected what he was going to say to him? How much did he know about the matter between himself and Hao Ren? Ji Cheng was pondering, and listened to Shen Che again: "I haven't thanked my cousin for the Chongyang cake from Jiuliyuan yesterday, so I'm bothered." ”
"It's good if Cousin Che likes it." Ji Cheng said.
Shen Che's eyebrows moved lightly, and he smiled again, "The so-called cannibalistic mouth is soft, Cousin Cheng's sword dance is really pleasing to the eye, I wonder if there is a chance to see Xianzi again tonight?" ”
This appointment is settled.
Ji Cheng continued to rest, while Shen Che went forward, and as soon as he walked on his front foot, Ji Cheng saw Su Yun coming from the right side of the road with a maid and a servant.
"Sister Yun." Ji Cheng called out.
Su Yun smiled at her, "Sister Cheng was talking to Cousin Che just now?" ”
Ji Cheng said: "Yesterday, I sent Chongyang flower cake to Jiuliyuan, and Cousin Che thanked me just now. ”
Su Yun said "oh", "Outsiders say that my cousin is romantic, but I think it's just a rumor, he can't be more solemn than we sisters, and he won't say much to us when he is idle." Su Yun's beautiful eyes turned to Ji Cheng, "However, Cousin Che is a little different from Sister Cheng, and he specially thanked you for the flower cake." ”
When Ji Cheng heard this, how could he not know that Su Yun was vinegar, and smiled: "Yes, I don't know how strict I am on weekdays, but I don't know what happened today, and I have to be a little uncomfortable, probably because I drank wine." Just now at the old lady's place, I asked for a sobering soup. ”
Ji Cheng said very generously, Su Yun's eyes circled around her face, and she didn't see any embarrassment, so she suspected that she was too careful, so she diverted from the conversation and said something else to Ji Cheng.
said that the time and place set by Shen Che were really embarrassing, Ji Cheng. In the summer, Ji Cheng lived in the Qiyuan Garden, and it was naturally easy to go to Jiuli Courtyard, but now that she had moved back to the small cross courtyard, it would be troublesome to go out after the doors of the house were locked at night.
If Ji Cheng wants to go out of the small courtyard, he will have to bypass the main courtyard where Ji Lan lives, and it is inevitable that he may be sued by a small shake of his head.
So in the evening, Ji Cheng asked Yu Qian'er to get a long ladder as soon as she returned to the small cross courtyard, so that she could climb over the roof ridge at night, but this was actually a troublesome matter, thin clothes in summer, easy to move, and now although the weather is not biting cold, but after the sun goes down, the cold wind is cold, and you have to wear a big hat when you go out, and the long big hat is very much in the way.
In the evening, after saying hello to Ji Lan, it was already dark after dinner, and all the doors were locked early in autumn and winter, Ji Cheng waited in the house for a while, and the people everywhere began to rest one after another, so she took Yu Qian'er to climb the ladder over the ridge and go to the Chime Garden.
Liu Ye'er stayed in the small cross courtyard, and only waited for Yu Qian'er to learn to meow when she came back, and Liu Ye'er had to climb up to the roof and tie the rope and put it down, so that the two of them could climb up.
From the third room to the chime garden, you have to pass through a door, the mother-in-law who guards the door in the summer can stay up and stay up without sleeping, you can make a little money to let her open the door and seal the mouth by the way, but ask those mothers-in-law to go to the house to drink and gamble, or sleep, no one can stay up in the cold wind for a night.
Fortunately, Yu Qian'er has a very good relationship with these door-guarding mothers-in-law on weekdays, so Ji Cheng sometimes has an inconvenient time to tell Ji Lan that he wants to go out, so he goes out quietly through the back door of the garden and comes in quietly, and no one can find out. These mothers-in-law are all raised by Ji Cheng with money, and she is going out tonight, so naturally she has already taken care of it.
Yu Qian'er learned to meow, and there was really movement over there, the door opened quickly, and Yu Qian'er handed a purse to the Wang Po who guarded the door, "It's really troublesome for your old man tonight, I'll let the little girl give you a few dimes of wine to eat." ”
Wang Po weighed the weight of the purse in her hand, and her face was already smiling, "Where are you talking, it's convenient for you to be with others, and the Yuqian girl has a place where my wife can be used, my wife is happy, but I don't know what your girl is doing in the garden so late?" The black hole is hollow, weird and scary. When Wang Po spoke, she kept looking curiously at Ji Cheng, who was standing a foot away.
Yu Qian'er said in a low voice: "Hey, the girl learned to paint from a master, and she wants to paint the scene of the autumn night, so won't this toss us." Yu Qian'er pretended to complain, "I'll have to trouble your old man to open the door for us later." ”
Wang Po thought to herself, these girls are all people who have nothing to do when they are full, and it is not only this Ji girl who will toss people, but she said: "No trouble, no trouble." ”
Ji Cheng and Yu Qian'er finally entered the Chime Garden without any danger. Yu Qian'er lit the angry wind horn lamp in his hand with a fire fold, and went to Jiuli Courtyard with Ji Cheng one after another.
"Girl, do you think the second son will let Mr. Hao go?" Yu Qian'er asked.
Ji Cheng didn't know, it was estimated that this matter all depended on Shen Che's mood, the reason why Ji Cheng was anxious about this matter was because he was afraid that if he didn't help Hao Ren, Hao Ren would poke out the matter of her and him teaming up to calculate Ji Lan, it would be bad.
