31. A woman's heart

On the second day, Ji Cheng came back from the school and saw the opportunity to talk to Ji Lan in private.

"Auntie, I thought about what you said yesterday for a long time, Ah Cheng knew that his aunt was planning for Ah Cheng, but in a place like that in the palace, when people and elves have miscalculated, Ah Cheng's qualifications are dull, even if he goes in, I am afraid that after two years, it will be the end of the straw mat shroud."

Ji Cheng paused and said: "Ah Cheng just wants to live a plain life, my aunt is good to Ah Cheng, Ah Cheng has been grateful for a lifetime, but whenever my aunt is sent, Ah Cheng is willing to go to the soup and go to the fire." ”

Ji Lan frowned secretly, only thinking that Ji Cheng was simply so naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve, why didn't she understand her hard work? She is doing this for the good of the Ji family. There is no easy way in this world, it is indeed risky to enter the palace, but it is man-made, even if Ji Cheng is married into the family, if he doesn't care, it is not for her to suffer, and it is not difficult for a daughter-in-law to die in a big family.

Besides, what kind of rich and noble family can you marry if you stay outside as Ji Cheng, and what you say is inspired, this is all vain, Ji Lan doesn't think Ji Cheng can do anything by himself. Only if she marries into the heavenly family, that is good for everyone.

Thinking of this, Ji Lan thought about writing a letter to her brother Ji Qing, and asked him to persuade Ji Cheng well. Therefore, Ji Lan was just perfunctory to Ji Cheng, "I know what you mean." I can't do your business, you can do it yourself. ”

Ji Lan said to let Ji Cheng do it herself, which means that if she doesn't enter the palace, she, as an aunt, will not help her in family affairs, this is manipulating.

Ji Cheng sighed in her heart, and knew that since Ji Lan had a plan in her heart, her words could not change her determination, but Ji Cheng still tried it with luck, and now this win-win road does not work, so she has to find another way.

Ji Cheng thought about the three rooms of the Shen family in the past two months in his heart. Because her aunt looks like a fairy, she has developed a strong temperament since she was a child, and later married the third master of the Shen family, and became a legend in Jindi.

If Ji Lan wants to be a blockbuster, he has to count on Shen Ying to be the top of the pavilion, otherwise he will definitely not be able to go beyond the big room and the second room. According to Ji Cheng, it is almost impossible for Shen Ying to be in the first grade, so Ji Lan's heart is afraid that he is counting on his two sons. Or expect Ji Cheng to enter the palace, and become the queen mother in the future, the third room will naturally rise.

Ji Cheng sighed, her aunt's ambition was too great, and in the final analysis, it was the silver that fueled her ambition. In private, her hands were stretched out to the palace, and she used the silver to buy off a lot of chamberlains, and Ji Cheng only recently inquired about it.

So although the Ji family gave Ji Lan a lot of silver, her silver still couldn't fill the bottomless pit. Ji Cheng frowned, the Ji family's silver was not earned easily, Ji Cheng had to feel sorry for Ji Lan, and she felt that being too ambitious would not be good for Ji Lan.

On this day, I took the opportunity to go to Mrs. Yu to learn painting, and went back to the Ji family's house in Orchid Lane. Shopkeeper Mei has basically left Ji Lan's shops and started to arrange things in the Western Regions.

Ji Cheng said: "Our family is a latecomer on the road in the Western Regions, and there is no one behind it, so there is no need to compare with the Tan family and the Chen family, I think it is better to start small, even if it is a tea shop, the important thing is to inquire about the news, and if we grasp the news along the way, we will know which direction to use." This is a long-term plan, there is no need to rush, it is good to take it slowly and steadily. And be sure to pay attention to the situation in the countries of the Western Regions, so as not to get your eyes dark. ”

Mei Changhe and others said yes again and again.

"Girl, Mr. Hao is here." Liu Ye'er entered the door and whispered in Ji Cheng's ear.

Ji Cheng nodded, Mei Changhe and the others said goodbye with a very good look, and Ji Cheng also set off to the Zhaoyu Pavilion in the backyard.

The Mr. Hao that Liu Yeer said was really not a good gentleman. He was originally a ruffian hooligan in Jindi, who did everything he could, and once committed a crime in the hands of Ji Cheng, and was stolen by Ji Cheng, and he was about to be sent to prison to eat prison food.

Hao Ren didn't know how many people he had harmed in his life, once he entered the prison cell, the dragon was trapped in the shallows, and there were many people who wanted his life, and he knew that he would never be able to see the official, so he did everything he could to beg Ji Cheng.

If this matter is changed, the rest of the Ji family will definitely be absolutely unsympathetic. But Ji Cheng has been careful a lot, and it is difficult to say that the blood in her body is deep-rooted businessman's blood, and she only pays attention to profit in everything.

Ji Cheng knew that Hao Ren had a lot of ghosts, and if he used it well, he wouldn't have to do those dirty things in the future without the Ji family taking action himself. In business, it is still very useful to have an honest signboard, and it is better to let others handle the dirty hands.

So Ji Cheng pinched Hao Ren's seven inches in his hand and released him again, not only that, but also gave a large amount of money to Hao Ren to pave the way, and now Hao Ren's abduction and abduction are no longer the original level of deception of ten taels or one hundred taels. Now there are no people in the capital who are not familiar with Hao Ren, and the road is also accessible in all directions.

Ji Cheng and the others are not looking for Hao Ren, and Hao Ren's kind of person is not the kind of person who is controlled by others, so the two sides can be regarded as an alliance.

"Three girls." As soon as Hao Ren came in, he made a gesture to Ji Cheng, "I have long heard that the third girl has entered Beijing, but I have never had the opportunity to come to visit, I heard the girl let me talk yesterday, I didn't sleep all night, and I finally saw the third girl's face again." ”

This kind of bastard made Yu Qian'er beside Ji Cheng laugh. Ji Cheng was helpless to Hao Ren in his heart, this person's mouth was like smearing honey, and his mouth turned very quickly, but he couldn't take a word of his words seriously.

"Sir, don't come unharmed." Ji Cheng smiled.

"It's not itchy, it's not itchy, I washed three buckets of water yesterday, and I came to see why the girl has lice on her body." Hao Ren said with a smile.

This Hao Ren actually hasn't been to school for a day, but he claims to know the words of the sage better than most nerds, and the clothes he wears are all Confucian robes.

This time, even Liu Ye'er couldn't help laughing.

Ji Cheng glanced at the two girls, and Liu Ye'er and Yu Qian'er immediately went down to make tea and prepare food.

Hao Ren shouted in the back: "I haven't eaten plum blossom buns in the middle of Jindi for several years, and I begged Miss Yu Qian'er to give me a small cage." ”

Yu Qian'er glared back at Hao Ren, raised her chin and said, "Wait." ”

After the two girls went, only Ji Cheng and Hao Ren were left in the pavilion. This pavilion was built in the water, connected to the shore by a nine-curved bridge, and all the partition doors around it were removed, and people spoke in the pavilion without worrying about being listened to by others.

And Ji Cheng doesn't have to worry about getting along with lonely men and widows, after all, there is almost no hiding place in this pavilion. Liu Ye'er was waiting on the shore.

"Invite Mr. to come today, because the little girl has something to ask for." Ji Cheng got straight to the point.

"Third girl, please speak." Hao Ren also put away the disguise of the hippie smile.

If Ji Cheng said the following words to others, she would definitely be embarrassed, but in front of Hao Ren, this is considered black and black, and some private deeds do not have to be hidden.

As soon as Ji Cheng told Hao Ren about his plan, Hao Ren immediately responded. "I thought the third girl was going to give me something, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter. I'll tell her to spit out all she has eaten, and she will wait for my good news. ”

Ji Cheng nodded lightly.

Hao Ren walked out of the Jiuqu Bridge, and looked back at Ji Cheng, who was sitting in the pavilion and did not move, he hadn't seen this Ji San girl for more than a year, and she had already appeared like a hibiscus with clear water, but she felt that the fat powder had stained her color, and she was admired at a glance from a distance.

It's a pity that such a woman who looks weak and harmless on the surface has a terrible number of eyes, and it is really who has caused someone to be unlucky. Although Hao Ren himself has a bad stomach, he still thinks that a woman's family should be kind and obedient in order to be a woman, and he like Ji Cheng is Xie Juemin.

Although a man will be shocked when he sees Ji Cheng's appearance and figure, but those who know her well don't dare to get close, otherwise they don't know how she will die one day, Hao Ren couldn't help but shake his body, the poisonous scorpion can't touch it, although Ji Cheng is really good-looking.

Hao Ren couldn't help but think of his newly accepted eighth concubine, who looked like she was really not inferior to Ji Cheng, but she was just a little bit worse, anyway, she couldn't make people's hearts ripple when she looked at it.

Hao Ren shook his head, turned around and continued to walk forward, thinking that this third girl was as hard-hearted as iron, and even her own aunt had to take action, and she didn't know how her aunt provoked her.

However, with Hao Ren's understanding of Ji Cheng, this Ji girl has never taken the initiative to make enemies, if she can win a win-win situation, she would rather suffer a loss, but also let everyone be harmonious, but if the other party does not know what to do, she will make a decisive move.

Of course, other people's own housework, Hao Ren didn't bother to pay attention to the joints inside, this time the deal mentioned by Ji San Girl, the oil and water were not small, Hao Ren couldn't help but smile on his face, and he was very satisfied with Ji Cheng's generosity.

After Ji Cheng left from Orchid Lane, she went to the paint shop on Shunyang Street, and recently she practiced her painting diligently, and the consumption was very large, so she had to make up some paints and paper and pencils, and since she came out, she picked it up by the way.

Ji Cheng bought paints, and went to the spice shop to pick up some new strange fragrances, when she had nothing to do, she also made her own fragrance, just picked out the incense, Ji Cheng saw that the calligraphy and painting shop opposite played a signboard, "Mr. New to Mr. Ziyu Painting".

Ji Cheng heard Mrs. Yu talk about the southern Mr. Ziyu, he is very good at flower and bird painting, especially good at shrimp and fish, smart and witty, he is a unique family.

Now that I happened to meet Mr. Ziyu's new painting score, Ji Cheng naturally wanted to take a look.

"Shopkeeper, give me a booklet of Mr. Fish's drawings." As soon as Ji Cheng walked in, he said directly to the boss.

The shopkeeper looked at Ji Cheng with an embarrassed expression, "The girl is a step late, and the last volume has already been sold to that son." ”

Ji Cheng looked in the direction of the shopkeeper's finger, Qi Zheng also happened to hear the sound and look back, their eyes were staggered, Ji Cheng recognized him at a glance as the eldest brother of Qi Hua of Yunyang Bofu, but Qi Zheng did not immediately recognize Ji Cheng through the curtain of the hat.

Ji Cheng lifted the curtain of the hat halfway up, revealing the lips of the Qiong nose and cherry lips that deceived the frost and the jade, and Qi Zheng only recognized Ji Cheng immediately after looking at half of his face.

"Miss Ji." Qi Zheng bowed his head to Ji Cheng, and his face was slightly red.

Ji Cheng also bowed his head and replied, "Young Master Qi." ”

After that, Qi Zheng didn't answer anymore, but Ji Cheng saw that he kept glancing at himself from the corner of his eye, and he knew that he was embarrassed, not that he didn't want to deal with himself.

"Qi Gongzi, I didn't see Sister Qi Hua everywhere on the day of the Dragon Boat Race, but she hasn't recovered after falling into the water?" Ji Cheng said.

A look of obvious relief flashed on Qi Zheng's face, "Yes, there was still some coughing, and my mother didn't let her go out." After a few days, when she was well, she also said that she would go to the Shen Mansion to thank Miss Ji in person. ”

"Don't dare to be, let Sister Qi Hua take care of her body." Ji Cheng said.

Speaking of which, it was cold again, Ji Cheng looked at Qi Zheng, who was babbling and didn't know what to say, and said again: "Does Mr. Qi Gongzi also like Mr. Ziyu's paintings?" ”
