Later, Shen Cui's performance at the Zhongtan showcase, Mrs. Su also inquired, it was all Ji Cheng's idea for her, Su Yun still remembered her grandmother's words, "Cheng girl's city is very tight, and you are not her opponent if you are ten." ”

Su Yun was not convinced at the time, but now she admits that she is naturally not Ji Cheng's opponent, especially in the matter of hooking up with men. Didn't even the eyes of the little county king of the Nanjun Mansion grow to Ji Cheng? Shen Wei couldn't see it, but Su Yun could see it clearly.

Thinking of this, Su Yun couldn't help but glance at Ji Cheng again, Shen Cui was helping her with many things, if there was no Ji Cheng, Shen Cui might not be able to win the original Zhongtan art selection, Su Celadon was discovered by Ji Cheng. Su Yun bit her lip, if she was the one who won the Zhongtan selection, Shen Che would definitely look at her differently.

If you go to see Su Yun at this time, you will find that her hand holding the scroll is white because of the force.

It's a pity that Ji Cheng's mind was not on Su Yun, after the school got out of class, she went straight to Chef Liu's kitchen, Ji Cheng didn't learn cooking because of his hobby, just to please the old lady. Nowadays, where do you need to cook, but the old lady thinks that the real lady should be De Jong's good speech, and this female celebrity and cooking skills are things that her daughter's family should be good at.

The female red Ji Cheng is a little worse, so she can only rely on her cooking skills. However, the old lady's kitchen has Aunt Lu in charge, she has eaten Aunt Lu's dishes for more than ten years, and she is used to the taste, so Ji Cheng's cooking skills are useless like Chef Liu.

However, the old lady didn't need Ji Cheng to cook, but she and the princess went to Rui Yingtang to eat, but she fell in love with Ji Cheng's craftsmanship.

Since then, Weiyue in Princess Anhe's house has often come to Ji Cheng for help. Princess Anhe's appetite has always been bad, and every meal is very little, and in order to please the master, the girl has used up all the tricks, so she asked Ji Cheng to come here.

So Ji Cheng learned a lot of Princess Anhe's preferences from Weiyue's mouth, such as Princess Anhe's spicy and greedy cup, happy to sing and dance, and the Hibiscus Courtyard where Touan and Princess lived in the Chime Garden was full of silk and bamboo every day.

Ji Cheng stirred the soup spoon in his hand, boiled the bottom of the pot, and took out a few strands of straw-like things from the jar that Chef Liu treasured and put them into the pot. Don't underestimate the straw, but Chef Liu dug it out in the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou, and the aroma is very special, like straw, but it is whiter than straw.

Ji Cheng likes to seek new dishes when cooking, Princess An and Princess She like the dishes she makes, she actually likes to have "bosom friends" like Princess An and Princess, Shen Qian They all said that they were not used to eating her new dishes, but Princess An and Princess were very face-saving every time.

This time, this soup pot is red and spicy, but it has a unique aroma, Ji Cheng has tried to cook ordinary meat here, but the boiled river shrimp and crab have a different flavor. At the same time, the dipping sauce had to be prepared, Ji Cheng thought that the soup pot was already very spicy, so the dipping sauce was made sweeter, and sesame sweet sauce was added, as well as boiled cheese.

Chef Liu tasted it and praised Ji Cheng for her talent in cooking, but in fact, she has not left the Shen Mansion until now, and she is somewhat nostalgic for Ji Cheng's apprentice.

In the evening, Weiyue happily came to talk to Ji Cheng, saying that Princess An and Princess had used two small bowls of rice today, and she had won a lot of rewards.

Ji Cheng smiled: "That's good." ”

Weiyue saw Ji Cheng's pampered and humiliated appearance, in fact, she was a little puzzled, she thought that Ji Cheng would follow the rod to slap An and the princess, but after this or two months, Ji Cheng didn't see an inch, Weiyue looked up to this businessman Ji girl a lot.

Weiyue was raised by Aunt Ling next to Princess Anhe, Aunt Ling was the palace maid in charge of the palace at the beginning, both in terms of talent and ability, she was a lot higher than ordinary people, and she was very relied on by the Queen Mother and Princess Anhe, and the girl she raised was definitely not worse than some girls.

Although Weiyue pretends to be innocent and lively every time she comes, she actually has more ghost eyes than anyone else.

"The princess's body has not been very good, why don't you make some medicinal food for the princess to regulate her body? I've heard you're very good at making medicinal food. Wei Yue asked innocently.

Ji Cheng smiled, "When I was eating at the old lady's place, I saw that the princess had never touched the old lady's medicinal food, so it can be seen that she didn't like it very much." Her appetite is already poor, and she can't eat even if I make medicinal food. She has eaten less all year round, and her stomach has already atrophied, and now she can only slowly use the meals she likes to appetize, and when she gradually eats more, her stomach becomes bigger again, and then she makes some medicinal food to eat. ”

"I see." Weiyue suddenly realized that Ji Cheng was really careful and attentive.

Ji Cheng had the good impression of An and the princess, and said: "I heard my sister say that the princess likes to drink, and when the grapes come out in the summer, I made some wine myself, you might as well take it back and give it to the mother to taste." ”

Wei Yue didn't take it to heart and said, "That's?" The emperor in the palace sends several barrels to the princess every year, and the mother doesn't like to drink. ”

Ji Cheng said: "Although the wine in the palace was paid tribute from the Western Regions, it was not properly preserved during the long journey, it was cold for a while and hot for a while, and when it arrived in the palace, the wine had already changed its taste, and it was not delicious." I learned this wine from Chef Liu, and she asked the brewing master in the Western Regions for advice, and the method is exactly the same as the people over there, you might as well take it to the princess to taste. I have heard that wine has many benefits, not only for beauty and beauty, but also for the body as long as you don't drink too much. ”

Weiyue saw that Ji Cheng was persuaded diligently, and she didn't want to ruin her interest, after all, she still had to count on Ji Cheng to cook for the princess, so she took a crystal bottle from Ji Cheng and went back.

After Weiyue left, Ji Cheng asked Liu Ye'er to serve her to freshen up and bathe, and she didn't like it very much, so she had to wash her whole body after cooking every time.

Ji Cheng was lying in the bathtub, scooping water from her shoulders with a spoonful of water, but thinking in her heart that she didn't know what she owed Shen Che in her previous life, she had to serve his mother's food at this time, and she had to work hard to help Shen Che monopolize the business of selling weapons in Jindi.

Ji Cheng was very busy this time, but it was a different situation on Shen Che's side.

After surviving the hot summer, Chu Dechu Fat Man felt that he was alive again, and he could work on women to his heart's content. The summer was so hot that he didn't want to move at all, and even gave up his favorite activities on weekdays and became a monk for dozens of days.

It's cold at this time, and it's warm when you move, so you have to go in and out of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion every once in a while. Chu had to catch Shen Che this day, naturally he couldn't spare him, every time he saw Shen Che, he felt itchy, he wanted to see this Buddha walking off the altar and wandering, but unfortunately he didn't succeed every time, but Chu Fat never got discouraged, he didn't believe that Shen Che was not a man.

On this day, I went to the Flower Garden of Xiaochu Lane, a little-known small place, where a few pieces of silver could sleep casually.

"Why do you always like this kind of place?" Shen Che asked Chu De with a slight frown. Although Hua Manyuan tried his best to serve Shen Ergongzi, their financial and material resources were limited, and the wine and food were not suitable for Shen Ergongzi's appetite.

"You're Tia." Chu De said angrily, "Who came to this kind of place to drink and eat?" You don't understand the beauty of this, all the female histories here are experienced in a hundred battles, and both technology and endurance have thrown off those useless Oiran girls for several streets. I'm not in a panic because I have too much money, so I'm happy to be here. ”

As soon as Chu De's words fell, he almost fell and was gnawed to death, he stood up straight and slapped himself, he was really the cheapest, and he was too smooth to call the master.

Chu De leaned in front of Shen Che awkwardly, "Let me tell you, the little fish fairy here was also discovered by me not long ago, that special place is wonderful and talented, do you want to try it?" Suck your soul and run out. ”

Shen Che opened Chu De's face with one palm, although he didn't do this kind of thing, he never swept the interest of others, not to mention that he was here to find interest.

"Go ahead, leave me alone." Shen Che said.

Chu got the order, so he didn't bother to pay attention to Shen Che, and went to take care of himself with a few good buddies next to him, these people are all veterans of the party, and the idle things have long been unable to arouse their interest, so that they all have some special hobbies, such as Chu De, who likes to perform in front of people, and feels extraordinarily happy.

The little fish fairy was born clear and delicate, and it was naturally not brilliant among the Oiran ladies in Beijing, but the fragrance of wine was not afraid of deep alleys, and there were many people who ordered her every day, all for that wonderful place.

Although Shen Che couldn't see her subtlety, the little fish fairy's voice "hummed and chirped", which did have some taste.

The little fish fairy rode on Chu Fatzi and served him hard, but those eyes were not honest at all at all at the second son of Shen who was sitting on the couch in the hall.

This was the first time the little fish fairy saw Shen Che, and he was fascinated by his appearance at a glance. Clear and noble, especially those eyes, bright and deep, like the star guiding the direction in the cold night, the tail of the eye sweeping over you, can make you from the tailbone upwards crispy, numb.

His temperament is a little cold, but it is not the desolate cold of the ice and snow, but the kind of cold that can open a strange fragrance and cold plum, which makes you want to be close.

The little fish fairy was full of heat, and she served Chu more attentively, just because all she saw in her eyes was another person. The little fish fairy screamed vigorously, and he wished that he could do everything he could to make Shen Che look at her sideways twice, and he could be moved by her and give her a little grace.

The little fish fairy was so energetic, and the eyes of the two people who came with Chu De were straight, so they waited to line up.

Shen Che was still sitting on the couch with the old god on the ground, and his body was getting straighter and straighter the more he sat down. Shen Che has seen a lot of such a living spring \ palace Shen Che has seen a lot, but he suddenly remembered Ji Cheng he met in the early morning, and in a blink of an eye, he seemed to see her writhing buttocks like a spirit snake when she was in Tianxianglou, accompanied by the beat of the drum, which made people's bodies rise and fall, and she had to move some thoughts.

It's not about love \ love, it's just instinct.

Shen Che's heart throbbed, and he slowly closed his eyes and exercised pranayama. As he closed his eyes, the little fish fairy gradually became a dead fish, and lost his vitality.

Chu De knew the reason, and slapped the little fish fairy's fat buttocks hard, "Didn't eat?!" ”

The little fish fairy had a smile on her face, but tears were dripping in her heart, she was different from people like him, there were thousands of mountains and rivers in the middle, where could she attract his sideways? It was he who had the heart to show kindness, but how could she dare to bear it if she was so dirty.

Born lowly, fate is irreversible.

Shen Che didn't know how long he had been pranayama, the moon rose and sunset, and the sun set and the moon rose, and he opened his eyes.

Chu De was the first to find out, and hurried to Shen Che's side, "What kind of big tonic did you take this time, this is a day and a night, you really want to become a Buddha?" ”

Shen Che slowly opened his eyes and shook his robe with satisfaction, his internal breath had not advanced for a long time, but he didn't expect that this time he had improved a lot.

The room had already been cleaned up, and their ridiculous night banquet had been over for a long time, Shen Che's nose moved, "How can there be the smell of incense, candles, paper money?" ”

"Your nose is smarter than a dog's nose, aren't you?" Chu De sneered, "How much sin do you say you have done in your life?" This morning, the little fish fairy threw himself into the river and died. ”

Shen Che's first reaction was to glare at Chu De.

Chu De hurriedly raised his hand in surrender, "Hey, don't look at me, you know me, ridiculous is ridiculous, but I never bully them, and it's not easy for people to do business." "At this point, Chu De is indeed not lying, and he is so much better than many prodigals with special violent hobbies.

"Then what river did she throw into?" Shen Che asked.

Chu De said: "You pretend, you pretend for me." Listening to the girl who served her, before she died, she burned incense and bathed and went to the small temple around the corner to worship the Bodhisattva, muttering something dirty in this life and only seeking cleanliness in the next life, and before she died, she came to this house to look at you for a long time. ”

"Hey, this girl can't think about it, what kind of dirty is she, the dirtiest thing is the human heart. It's all your fault, you said that if you had fallen in love with her at that time, would she have thought about jumping into the river to be a new person? "Chu De regrets the death of the little fish fairy very much, that wonderful thing is really wonderful.

Chu De sighed, but Shen Che felt nothing, got up and walked out, without bringing his head back.

Chu De chased after him: "Hey, you're too cold and cold, aren't you?" People want to be reincarnated because of you. ”

Shen Che really didn't bother to pay attention to Chu De's noise. If you want to talk about guilt and sympathy, Shen Che has nothing at all, if a person wants to die, she has already made up her mind in her heart, and he just acts as a lead.

When Shen Che returned to the mansion, he first went to the old lady's house to say hello, the old lady was about to rest, but when she heard him coming, she sat up from the bed again, "Why did you come back so early?" ”

It can be seen that Shen Che's late return and non-return have become the norm, and the old lady has such a question. "I miss you."

"It's sweet in your mouth." The old lady sneered, "Your mother's birthday is almost coming, and this year is her birthday, she doesn't want to do it, but you, as a son, can't help but think about her." The old lady was afraid that Shen Che would forget about it and hurt An He's heart.

"I remember it in my heart." Shen Che smiled, "Which of the people in this family can I forget?" ”

The old lady also knew that Shen Che was smarter than ordinary people when he was a child, and there was nothing that could be forgotten about what entered his mind, but the old man just loved to worry, didn't he?

"By the way, although the Wang family is not moving now, it can't be unguarded. I have a few girls there, who know some kung fu and are smart, and the sisters at home have one next to them, so that your old people can feel at ease. Shen Che said.

The old lady really smiled, "It's hard for you to think thoughtfully, don't I worry about it all day?" Wang Yueniang entered the palace, and she didn't know what kind of moth she would make. ”

Shen Che patted the back of the old lady's hand, "She is now busy fighting with Concubine Wang Shu and Huang Zhaoyi, and she can't make a move for a while, don't worry about your old man, I'm watching." ”

The old lady nodded, and was about to speak, when a girl came in outside and said, Grandpa Guo invited the second son.

Shen Che quit the old lady and went to his father's grandfather Shen Zhuo's house. Princess An and Shen Zhuo lived separately, and the two could sometimes live together before they had children, but now they haven't lived in the same room for almost ten years.

"Father." When Shen Che entered Shen Zhuo's house, he didn't have the same hippie smile as in the old lady's house.

Shen Zhuo nodded, "Sit down." What's the matter with you? People are not romantic, I never care about your affairs outside, this time you actually caused a human life, and I was sued by someone, what do you think? ”

Shen Che smiled and sat down, taking a casual pose, "How did I sue you?" ”

Shen Zhuo looked at Shen Che and didn't speak, meaning to let him explain honestly.

"It has nothing to do with me, it's that girl herself can't bear to be pickled, and she has already saved her will to die." Shen Che said.

Shen Zhuo nodded, he knew his son, he was by no means a person who didn't hang up and came randomly, many things were just a pretense, and he only sighed that he was born in a family like them, which dragged down Shen Che's ambitions.

"By the way, is there any change in the Western Regions?" Shen Zhuo asked.

"It's okay now, in the past few years, Qiuzi and Yanqi have fought hard, and they have no time to look east, but the old king of Shule is dead, and the second prince has done a lot to succeed to the throne, and I have already started to arrange for the exiled prince to return to Shule. In fact, I am more worried about Qarluq in the north, which has expanded too quickly in recent years and is very ambitious. Shen Che said.

Shen Zhuo sighed, "It's hateful that Li Liangtu is busy with the court, he doesn't care about the Western Regions and Beihu at all, and he still has a big dream of peace in the world. "Li Liangtu is in the position of ruler, the most important weapon of the country, but he is short-sighted, which makes Shen Zhuo hate.

And the people of the Shen family are from noble backgrounds, and they can achieve the position of captain at most, but the army does not care about politics, and there are many constraints, and this world is still the world of civil officials.

Shen Che had no way to act openly, so he could only turn into the shadows, carry out some conspiracies and tricks, and sow discord to secretly control the situation in the Western Regions. It's especially lamentable.

"If you weren't your mother's son, with your qualifications, you would have been able to pass the Jinshi exam a long time ago, and it would be a matter of time before you were knighted and worshipped." Shen Zhuo said regretfully.

Shen Che said: "Daddy's words are wrong, without a mother, where did I come from." Besides, my qualifications are too shallow, where can I worship the prime minister at my age, and when I really reach that age, I will exercise power, and Daqin still doesn't know what he has become. I think it's good now, at least I can do what I want to do, and there are so many people to help me. ”

Shen Zhuo patted Shen Che's shoulder lightly and sighed, "Okay, don't talk about this, you have your own principles, and I don't care about you." It's just that you can't ruin your reputation like this outside, you are so old, and you haven't talked about family affairs, and the old lady and your mother's hair will be gray. ”

Shen Che got up and said, "Why did you start nagging about these things?" ”

Shen Zhuo is embarrassed, how can it be considered nagging when he talks about family affairs? "Think for yourself, the old lady and your mother have already made up their minds, and they will definitely settle your family affairs next year at the latest."

Shen Che smiled: "It doesn't matter, as long as you can make the two old people happy, if they hadn't picked and chosen for so many years, why did they wait until now?" Now they blame me for procrastination, how wronged. ”

Some people's relatives can reach out and come, but some people have to work hard.

After Qi Zheng, Ji Cheng thought about all the men he knew who had not yet decided to marry in his mind, but he didn't find a suitable one, he could have done it before, but now Ji Cheng hopes that the other party can compete with the Shen family, otherwise the handle has always been in Shen Che's hands, and he always feels unsafe.

The next day, when Ji Cheng followed Shen Cui to the old lady's house to say goodbye, he saw the row of strange girls standing in the room at a glance.

The old lady called Shen Qian and the others to her, "This is the girl that the second brother is looking for you, she has some kung fu, and when you go out in the future, you and your father and mother can rest assured." ”

Ji Cheng sneered in his heart, Shen Che's hands and feet are fast enough, but in two or three days, he is looking for an excuse to stuff people.

Nan Gui's arrangement is a troublesome matter, far away afraid that Shen Che will be suspicious, and close to her afraid of betraying her master, Ji Cheng glanced up and down at the inconspicuous Nan Gui, he really can't tell what kind of martial arts master he is, so it's safer.

"When you came over, did the second son tell you anything?" Ji Cheng asked.

Nan Gui lowered his eyelids and said: "The second prince asked the slave maid to listen to the girl's arrangement, if the girl has something to say, just tell me to do it." ”

Ji Cheng smiled, "The second son can arrange you by my side, presumably you must be a smart person, smart people don't say secret words, I must not be at ease with you, the second son must also know." What you can find out depends on your personal ability. ”

Nangui nodded, "I understand, girl. ”

There were not many houses in the small cross courtyard, so Ji Cheng arranged for Nan Gui and Liu Ye'er to live in one room and monitor each other.

Within two days, the reply from Jindi arrived, but Ji Qing did not send a letter, but instead asked Long Yin, the chief steward beside him, to rush to Jingshi overnight.

The dragon seal that Ji Cheng saw in Orchid Lane was naturally impossible to bring Nangui. The matter of restarting the smuggling of ordnance is not a joke, Ji Cheng is too young after all, how can Ji Qing rest assured, so let Longyin come to Jingshi, and ask what the situation is.
