It's been a long time since I fell into the water to save people, and now I think about it, it must be an excuse.

When Ji Cheng invited An in the evening, he told Ji Lan about Qi Hua inviting her to come over as a guest.

In a sense, Ji Lan and Ji Cheng are the same kind of people, belonging to the category of unprofitable and unprofitable, so when she heard Ji Cheng say that Qi Hua invited her to be a guest, she knew that there must be a reason for Ji Cheng here, she thought about the situation of Yunyang Bofu, except for Qi Zheng, I am afraid that nothing can enter Ji Cheng's eyes.

Ji Lan has an impression of Qi Zheng, she looks quite upright, she has been a guard in the palace for three years but she has not heard of any inch, she sneered in her heart, Ji Cheng looks smart but is still too young, her sister loves to be pretty, and she picks all embroidered pillows, she also thinks that Ji Cheng's insistence on not entering the palace is due to other great creations.

"You can go if you want." Ji Lan didn't stop Ji Cheng, and Ji Cheng would suffer in the future.

"I'm going too." Shen Cui interjected on the side.

Ji Lan frowned, "What are you making a fuss about?" ”

Shen Cui pouted and said, "Qi Hua's mother is not in good health, Sister Cheng went to see her, if I don't go, it's not good." After all, our two families also have dealings, if we don't know, it's okay, how can we not go? ”

Shen Cui's excuse was quite reasonable, and Ji Lan actually wanted to know if Ji Cheng's plan could come true, so she doted on Shen Cui's forehead, "If you want to go play, just say it, what are you doing with all these excuses?" ”

Shen Cui was coquettish in Ji Lan's arms, and the matter was settled.

Ji Cheng glanced at Shen Cui twice, this person was a little strange, she had never looked down on Qi Hua, why was she suddenly so interested in the Qi family? She didn't believe Shen Cui's words, she had never been such a proper person.

However, Ji Cheng was also too confident in her own judgment, so she made a mistake, she definitely didn't expect Shen Cui to fall in love with Qi Zheng, after all, the Qi family is inferior to the Shen family.

Qi Hua was very happy when she saw Shen Cui, she was already suffering from being excluded by Shen Cui and the girls in their circle, and today Ji Cheng actually brought Shen Cui here, which means that she can use Ji Cheng's relationship to communicate with Shen Qian and Shen Jing again.

Qi Hua warmly and thoughtfully entertained Ji Cheng and Shen Cui, and led them to Mrs. Qi's room to talk.

Mrs. Qi did not lie on the bed today, but sat on the couch neatly dressed, although it was covered by fat powder, Ji Cheng could still see that Mrs. Qi's spirit was very poor, and there was a deep Sichuan character line in the center of her eyebrows, which should be sick and painful, and she frowned from time to time.

Ji Cheng and Shen Cui greeted Mrs. Qi, and Mrs. Qi kindly asked them to sit down and said some common words, but she was really not in good spirits, and she didn't talk for long before asking Qi Hua to entertain Ji Cheng and Shen Cui to the garden for her.

The garden of Yunyang Bofu is naturally not as good as the Qi Garden, but the Qi Garden is not the Shen family's three-room, and it has long been separated, but because the old lady is still there, the garden is connected, and when the old lady goes, I am afraid that the door will be closed in a few years, after all, it has been separated.

Shen Cui looked critically at the garden of Yunyang Bo's Mansion with the eyes of his future in-laws, it was too small, but it was small and exquisite, not interesting, and it was not without merit, and the intentions of the previous generations of Yunyang Bo could be seen everywhere.

Shen Cui remembered Mrs. Qi's appearance just now, I am afraid that it will not be long before such a person marries in and has no mother-in-law, and life will be much more comfortable, even if Yunyang Bo remarries, but it is only a continuation of the string, and she can't put her mother-in-law in front of her.

The more Shen Cui thought about it, the more happy he felt, and he couldn't help but ask Qi Hua, "Are you the only one at home today?" ”

"My eldest brother is on duty in the palace, but he should be almost home." Qi Hua said this to Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng didn't want to have anything to do with Qi Zheng under Mrs. Qi's nose, and she could know from Mrs. Qi's words that she was a very well-behaved and slightly old-fashioned person.

Ji Cheng said: "After bothering us for so long, we should go back." ”

Qi Hua was stunned, she thought that Ji Cheng must want to see her eldest brother.

"So fast? I'm not done yet. Shen Cui said.

It's just a small garden, it's been half an hour, and every corner has been walked, and what else hasn't been seen? Ji Chenghu looked at Shen Cui suspiciously.

Shen Cui opened his eyes and said: "The couplets in the garden are very well written, it is rare to come once, and I want to read them carefully." ”

Ji Cheng didn't say anything more, and sat in the pavilion with Qi Hua to taste tea, and Shen Cui said that the couplets were well written, so he could only pretend to stand in front of Qingfentang with his hands behind his back and chant the couplets there.

When Qi Zheng knew from Mrs. Qi that Ji Cheng was coming, he originally planned to avoid suspicion, but when he heard Mrs. Qi say that the five girls of the Shen family were also coming, Qi Zheng immediately remembered that Shen Cui was the only daughter of the third room of the Shen family, the girl who performed in the middle altar, and I heard that she was pampered.

Qi Zheng tidied up his clothes, opportunities were created for those who were prepared, and he wanted to give it a try.

However, Qi Zheng couldn't express it too obviously, he asked where Qi Hua and Shen Cui were from the girl, and walked around the gable to Qingfentang, where he liked to read and paint the most.

The climbing verandah was on a high place, and Qi Zheng saw Qi Hua and Ji Cheng drinking tea in the pavilion not far from Qingfen Hall at a glance.

Ji Cheng wore a pale pink skirt, as light as the color of the weakest peach blossom on the branches in March, although she couldn't see the appearance clearly, but her movements of drinking tea or lowering her head were elegant and feminine, like a wicker swaying in the spring breeze. Just looking at it from a distance, it already made Qi Zheng feel relaxed and happy. It's a pity that the background is a little worse.

Qi Zheng's gaze quickly moved to Shen Cui who was standing in front of Qingfen Hall.

Qi Zheng got off the mountain climbing verandah, passed the treasure bottle gate, and went to Qingfen Hall along the stone road inlaid with eight treasure patterns, and happened to have a face-to-face with Shen Cui.

Shen Cui's face immediately turned red, he should have left quickly, but he was reluctant to have such a good opportunity to speak, so he only lowered his head slightly, and played with Yingluo on his waist crampedly and shyly.

He seemed to like to wear cyan robes, Shen Cui thought to himself, but cyan was indeed very suitable for him, as delicate and handsome as a tall green bamboo, and as proud as a green pine to resist frost and snow.

The bamboo is modest, the green pine is proud of the snow, and he is a beautiful son of the world.

Seeing that Shen Cui was shy, Qi Zheng took the initiative to speak: "Miss Shen." ”

"Qi Gongzi." Shen Cui squatted and saluted.

After that, there was nothing to say, Qi Zheng was not good at talking to women, otherwise he would not have been able to find the powerful Yue family today, and Shen Cui was shy and unspeakable, so the scene was a little embarrassing.

Ji Cheng's teacup was still in her mouth, she looked at Shen Cui's cowardly attitude, and the surprise in her heart was not small, Shen Cui was looking at Qi Zheng? Ji Cheng frowned slightly, so that things would be a bit of a headache.

Looking at Qi Zheng's appearance again, Ji Cheng's brows furrowed even tighter, she remembered that Qi Zheng was a very shy person, and he was not good at talking to the girl's family, but at this moment, it was obvious that he was looking for something to say, could it be that he also fell in love with Shen Cui?

When did these two men look at each other? Although Ji Cheng did not monitor Shen Cui all the time, but for Shen Cui who would make a big disturbance at the slightest thing, if something happened to her and Qi Zheng, Ji Cheng would not know.

Ji Cheng looked at the pair of people in front of him who were very right, and guessed that Qi Zheng was likely to see Shen Cui at the Zhongtan performance.

Ji Cheng sighed slightly, she used all her scheming, but she helped others make wedding clothes, which can be regarded as matching Shen Cui and Qi Zheng.

Qi Hua naturally also saw Shen Cui and Qi Zheng, Qi Zheng was pointing at the couplet and comparing to Shen Cui, she knew her brother better than Ji Cheng, her brother had always been stupid and shy, and he had never seen him so active in front of a girl.

Qi Hua's heart moved, of course she preferred Shen Cui as her sister-in-law, Ji Cheng had silver, Shen Cui's mother was also the Ji family, Shen Cui's dowry must be a lot, and Shen Cui was still the fifth girl of the Shen family, and she was still the cousin of Shen Yu and Shen Che, although if Shen Cui married her brother, Qi Hua would not be able to marry into the Shen family again, but she actually had no chance to marry in. But once Qi Zheng and Shen Cui are married, she believes that the person who comes to her house to propose her will definitely break through the threshold.

Qi Hua carefully observed Ji Cheng's expression, Ji Cheng was very calm, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't mind Shen Cui and Qi Zheng at all. This made Qi Hua a little suspicious, could it be that she misunderstood Ji Cheng's mind a few days ago?

Ji Cheng was not a person who gave up lightly, and she was not in a hurry, because she really suspected that Qi Zheng had ulterior motives for taking a fancy to Shen Cui.

When leaving from Yunyang Bofu, the carriage didn't travel for long, and suddenly stopped, Yu Qian'er opened the curtain and went out to take a look, and turned around and said: "It's a scoundrel who touches porcelain, and he really doesn't have long eyes." "Even the Shen family's carriage dared to blackmail.

Yu Qian'er jumped out of the carriage and got back into the lane after a while: "It's all right." ”

Shen Cui has always been in a good mood, so he didn't care about this little episode, Ji Cheng noticed the look that Yu Qian'er handed her, and secretly guessed in his heart that he didn't know what was going on, but this was not the time to speak.

Back at Ji's house, Ji Cheng and Shen Cui went to Ji Lan's house to talk together, Ji Lan saw Shen Cui's red face, and asked with a smile: "Is Yunyang Bofu fun?" ”

Shen Cui nodded, "It's good, Mrs. Qi treats us very politely, and Sister Qi Hua is also good, quite enthusiastic." Her garden is Jiangnan style, although it is a little smaller, but the plaques and couplets are very well written. ”

"It's good if you're happy." Ji Lan smiled indulgently, turned her head and asked Ji Cheng again, "How is Ah Cheng playing?" Just talking to Qi Hua and talking for most of the day? ”

Ji Cheng smiled and said cleanly: "I also met the eldest son of the Qi family." ”

Ji Lan knew that Ji Cheng's thoughts about going to the Qi family were not pure, so she was not surprised to hear that Qi Zheng was also there, "Oh." ”

Shen Cui was afraid that Ji Cheng would say something that shouldn't be said, so he took Ji Lan's hand and shook it, "Mother, I'm hungry." ”

"Okay, I'll ask Linglong to get you some snacks." Ji Lan said, but she seemed to be very worried about Qi Zheng's affairs, and said to Ji Cheng again: "The eldest prince of the Qi family seems to be a guard in the palace, isn't he on duty today?" ”
