"It's a very obedient temperament, but it's rare to be young but not impatient." Linglong said.

"yes." Ji Lan sighed, "Her temperament is like my brother." My brother has been smart since he was a child, and the Ji family can develop like this now, all thanks to my brother. I really didn't expect that someone like Yun Niang could give birth to a daughter as smart as Ah Cheng. "Yun Niang is Ji Cheng's mother, who came from a more humble background, and her father is just a street seller of tofu brains.

Ji Lan was both pleased with Ji Cheng's intelligence, but also a little irritable. If Ji Cheng is her mother's temperament, it is very suitable to be a brainless concubine, and such a person has to ask for his own support even if he rises to a high position. At the beginning, Ji Lan's wishful thinking was to send Ji Cheng into the palace.

Emperor Jianping was not in good health a few years ago, and no son was born, and in the past two years, there have been miracle doctors to help raise the body, and the son has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and he has given birth to two sons in the past two or three years, and I heard that there are three mothers in the palace who are pregnant.

Ji Lan's calculation is that Ji Cheng will enter the palace at this moment, if she can conceive a dragon descendant, she and the third master will blow the pillow wind, and the third master will go to talk to the old lady again, after all, it is her own niece, if her son succeeds to the throne in the future, the wealth of the Shen family will be further enhanced, and their third room will be able to raise their eyebrows, and they will no longer have to lose to the big house and the second room.

But Ji Cheng is not an easy person to handle, and his brain is awake and he can't fool. For example, this time, if Ji Cheng was a little anxious and ran to the Guogong Mansion regardless of his aunt's illness, then in the future, as long as Ji Lan hinted a few more words to others, Ji Cheng's character would be questioned. But Ji Cheng tried his best to serve his illness like this, which made Ji Lan embarrassed to stumble Ji Cheng again.

However, Ji Lan is not a person who gives up lightly, although Ji Cheng made it clear that he didn't want to enter the palace, but who knows how this day will change in the future. But even if Ji Cheng is reluctant to enter the palace, it should still be okay to choose a decent husband for her, and there is no harm in that, but in this way Ji Cheng will not be of much use to himself.

By the next day, Ji Lan was really well as Ji Cheng expected, and led Shen Cui and her to the old lady's house early.

The old lady had just washed up and was ready to eat, and when she saw Ji Lan coming in, she asked, "Are you well?" ”

Ji Lan smiled a little hard and said: "Yesterday was much better, but I was afraid that I would not be clean, so I didn't dare to come over on the big day of the ancestor, and asked the ancestor not to blame the daughter-in-law." ”

The old lady waved her hand and said, "It's really hard for you to take care of so many things during this time, I can't feel sorry when I'm tired, how can I blame you." The body and bones are the most important thing, and when you are old, you will know that there is no use for anything, and the most important thing is to eat well and sleep well. If you don't take care of your body when you're young, you'll pay off your debts when you're old. ”

"Isn't that what it is?" Old Madam Su was also in the hall and interjected with a smile.

The old lady asked Ji Cheng to come up to her and asked, "Why don't you play with your sisters these days, don't you like to listen to the songs and dances of Changchun Garden?" Your uncle's family has also bought a dozen or so girls from the west who can sing and dance, and you just have to pick the ones you like to listen to. What is the young old man doing in the house? ”

Ji Cheng didn't know how to speak, an old birthday star and an old man like an old lady, could she still not know Ji Lan's thoughts? Although he generously understood just now, he turned his head and beat Ji Lan by himself.

"Back to the ancestors, Ah Cheng just came to the capital, and he has been making trouble in the past few days, and it is not easy to come. I have heard the name of Changchun Yuan in Jindi, and if I don't raise it quickly, I will take my aunt to bring me over. Ji Cheng smiled sweetly.

The old lady looked at Ji Cheng's smile and couldn't help but compare her with Su Yun. Su Yun smiled brightly, at first glance, she was spoiled since she was a child, but Ji Cheng's smile was a soft spring breeze, this girl had a good heart, she didn't say that she wanted to serve her aunt, otherwise she would be unfilial to Shen Cui.

"Go, sit down with your sisters, they are all flesh and blood, and you will treat this place as if it were your own home. Didn't Meng Fuzi say, what is the old man doing? The old lady laughed.

"The old and the old, the young and the young." Ji Cheng said with a smile, he really likes this old ancestor in his heart, he is generous and benevolent, this is the style and behavior of a family with profound background.

After breakfast, everyone moved to the garden, and when the sheng flute began to spread, even An and the princess arrived.

Last time, Ji Cheng only saw this royal princess from a distance, and he didn't know how she was, but Princess Anhe's style gave the young Ji Cheng a great shock at that time.

When Princess Anhe arrived, everyone naturally stepped forward to salute, even the old lady was not exempt, so usually Princess Anhe rarely showed up, at this moment she took two steps forward and hurriedly supported the old lady, and said with a gentle smile: "What are you doing with my mother and me, that is, when you come to the royal brother and sister-in-law, you are all people with seats." ”

However, although Princess Ann and Princess were gentle and reasonable to the old lady, and ignored other people, no one dared to say that she was not.

Ji Cheng followed and saluted, and Princess An and Princess glanced at her and Su Yun twice, but they didn't say a word.

For a while, the guests arrived one after another, and the mother of the second lady Huang, Mrs. Jing'anhou, also came over today, and the old lady smiled and said, "Old sister, what kind of wind blew you here today?" ”

In the past few days, the banquet of the Marquis of Jing'an was all brought by Mrs. Shizi, that is, the sister-in-law of the Huang family.

"I should have come here a long time ago, isn't it a little inconvenient for my legs and feet, today is a beautiful day, I just thought I had to come and see you." Mrs. Jing'an Hou said.

The old people chatted with the old people, and Shen Cui pulled Ji Cheng aside to speak, "Have you seen it, Su Yun has only been here for a few days, and she has been in love with Wang Siniang." ”

Of course, Ji Cheng didn't know what kind of character Wang Siniang was, but looking at Shen Cui's line of sight, he knew that Wang Siniang in her mouth was the fourth girl of the Yongle Bo family, and she was also the niece of Mrs. Hou Shizi of Jing'an.

Wang Siniang was born a little strangely, this strangeness is not ugly, in fact, it is quite beautiful, but it is different from the beauty of ordinary people, looking at some strange beauty, in short, people can remember her at a glance. Wang Siniang's eyes are very narrow and long, and the tails of her eyes are slightly picked, charming but sharp. The lips are a little thick, the mouth is on the large side, and there is a bold charm when you smile.

But I have to say that Wang Siniang is also a rare peculiar beauty.

"Who is Wang Siniang?" Ji Cheng pretended to be stupid.

"Who else can there be, it is Wang Siniang who was held up to the sky, her sister Shufei Niangniang gave birth to the eldest prince of His Majesty the year before last, and now she is in the limelight, and the family has ascended to heaven, Wang Shufei's father was also enshrined Yongle Bo, and those who hold Wang Siniang's stinky feet have also risen with the tide." Shen Cui snorted, "I see that she looks very ordinary, her mouth is so big that she can swallow her fists, but some people say that she is the first beauty in the capital." ”

Ji Cheng could hear that Shen Cui was hostile to any girl who was born neatly.

The singing and dancing of Changchun Yuan began to be performed in the morning, mixed with juggling, burlesque and other performances, Shen Cui and other girls have been watching it for several days, and no matter how good things are, they are tired of watching, not to mention that Guo everyone only came out to perform on the first day, and they didn't appear later.

In a group of people, only Ji Cheng watched it with relish.

"What's there to see about this?" Shen Cui turned his head sideways and asked Ji Cheng, who was immersed in singing and dancing, and felt that Ji Cheng was a bun and had never seen the world.

Ji Cheng smiled slightly, the people in Jingshi all had a sense of superiority for no reason, as if people in other places were hillbillies who had never seen the world. "When I was in Jindi, if there was a happy event in each family, I often invited people from Leyuan to help with the fun, there was a Cheng family in Jindi, a household name, and the fifth sister had heard of it?"

That Cheng family is indeed a character, Shen Cui has naturally heard of it.

The so-called Guo family and Cheng family here are like the pillars of the song and dance troupe in later generations, highly respected and loved, and they are the kind of people who are fortunate to be able to see each other.

Shen Cui seemed to be a little unconvinced when he heard Ji Cheng's meaning, and couldn't help but ridicule more and more: "I almost forgot, you have some silver in your family." ”

Shen Cui always talks like this, and he doesn't know if it's just for himself or for everyone, I don't know if her aunt knows it, Ji Cheng sighed regretfully, it can be regarded as a pity for Shen Cui.

"It's not a bad thing to have silver." Ji Cheng couldn't help but whispered back, Shen San's calligraphy and painting hobbies are all supported by the Ji family's financial resources, and the third master buys official talismans, buys real shortages, and buys promotions, which one lacks the Ji family's money.

It's just that Shen Cui can understand the twists and turns in Ji Cheng's heart.

As he was talking, Shen Wei came over to Shen Cui and said, "Fifth sister, cousin Cheng, let's go to the Shadow Moon Building on the edge of the Nanhe River to play for a while, if you want to listen to the music and call them above, choose a few fresh songs to sing, wouldn't it be more comfortable than here?" ”
