Although the old lady felt that it made sense when she heard it, she couldn't be angry with Ji Lan in the end, and she couldn't be angry with Ji Cheng, who was also surnamed Ji.

"Why didn't she come and tell me if she knew about such a thing? Listen to what your third aunt meant, she already knew, how did she know? The old lady asked.

"That's what you ask. I checked, before Laba, it was Ji Cheng who took Ah Cui to Changchun Hall to check the pulse, but I am afraid that Ji Cheng will know before the third aunt knows. Ah Cui must have sued Ji Cheng first, and then he was discovered by the third aunt when he couldn't drag it out. Shen Che said.

"Don't you know the third aunt's temperament? Even if there is nothing to do with Ji Cheng, since this matter has happened, it will definitely be blamed on Ji Cheng. The third aunt went to find Qi Zheng, Qi Zheng opened his mouth and asked for 50,000 taels of silver, and the third aunt also forced Ji Cheng to come out. Shen Che said.

The old lady looked at Shen Che in disbelief, "What kind of sin has this been created?" The family was unfortunate and went to such a daughter-in-law. ”

"Ji Cheng came to you at this time, but I was afraid that I was going to resign. To put it bluntly, she is just a sandwich bun, but what your old man said is that she can't recognize the reason, and only helps Ah Cui and her aunt hide it, and she doesn't help Ah Cui. Shen Che said.

The old lady was silent now, she believed in Buddhism in the end, she was compassionate, "I drove her away at this time, what do people outside think of her?" is also a pitiful, how dare she cross her aunt to sue me about this, naturally she can only try her best to help Ah Cui cover up. It's about to be the New Year, so let her live there first, and then talk about it after the New Year. ”

The old lady and Shen Che didn't mention Qi Zheng at all in their conversation.

The third old man, Shen Ying, sat in the room and sighed, although Ji Lan was confused, but after all, he had a deep relationship with him, and it took a lot of effort to marry him back then, how could it be possible to say that he had no feelings? As for Shen Cui, it was also his flesh and blood, and he felt more distressed than anyone else.

At this time, Qi Zheng ran to the gate and knelt, and the face was enough, although Shen Cui was indecent, but if the two families got married, this matter would become a love affair between children and daughters, and it was not impossible to turn around.

Shen Ying thought about it for a long time, then went to the old lady's Rui Ying Hall and knelt down for the old lady.

After a while, Shen Jing got the news from Dongshan Academy, and he also rushed back and accompanied Shen Ying to kneel in the courtyard. But the sky is not beautiful, and after a while, the snow wind howls, and the goose-featherlike snow falls.

Even if the old lady hates Ji Lan again, can she not feel sorry for her son and grandson?

Shen Che has been staying by the old lady's side, and said in a timely manner: "The third uncle's knees were not good before, and if he kneels like this now, it is estimated that he will not be able to get out of bed when he is older." ”

The old lady didn't make a sound, she directly picked up the dragon-headed crutches at the head of the bed and beckoned to Shen Che, Shen Che didn't hide, she was beaten by the old lady, and said loudly: "You old man, don't be careful, don't flash your waist." Why don't you let Mama Cao help you fight? ”

"You bastard, even your grandmother dares to fiddle with it now, right?" The old lady was tired before she gasped and withdrew her hand.

Shen Che helped the old lady sit down on the couch, "How is it, are you angry?" Isn't it much cooler in your heart? ”

The old lady didn't speak, turned her back to Shen Che, like an angry child.

Shen Che smiled helplessly, "I can't help it." Now that I know about this matter, I can't get over the hurdle in my heart if I don't tell you. I gave the third aunt a chance, but she handled it too badly, Ah Cui did something like that, she only knew how to cover up, and Ah Cui didn't know what kind of trouble would happen in the future. ”

Shen Che saw that the old lady still didn't speak, and continued: "I know your old man's temperament, and he will definitely deal with it like today. It's just that when people are old, what they are most afraid of is parting. You have always loved your granddaughter, you are angry at this time, but after a year and a half, do you dare to say that if Ah Cui really goes to Bai Aya, you will not regret it or be sad when you think about it? ”

"The third uncle is a filial son, and he depends on you at this time, but in a few years, when he thinks of Ah Cuilai, how uncomfortable should he be? Besides, Ah Cui's appearance, although my aunt and third uncle are at fault, and those of us who are brothers and sisters don't take good care of them, it's all wrong, but it's not a heinous thing. So I went to Qi Zheng. ”

When the old lady heard this, she went to twist Shen Che's arm again, "You bastard, everyone is at your mercy." ”

Shen Che smiled and repeatedly apologized, "I only hope that the third aunt and Ah Cui can have a long memory after this lesson." In the future, when Atsui raises his children, he will be able to remember the events of the day. ”

In fact, the old lady is old, and she is not as decisive as she is young, and when she is old, she is afraid of life and death, she disposed of Shen Cui, in fact, her heart hurt very much at that time. At this time, Shen Che gave her a ladder, and after she twisted it, she said, "Ah Cui's affairs can be done according to your method." But your third aunt must stay in the family temple for a few years. ”

"It's nature." Shen Che said.

"Go and call your third uncle and Ah Jing in." The old lady said.

Shen Che immediately responded "yes".

In the end, this matter was naturally disposed of happily, the Shen family agreed to the Qi family's courtship, although the three books and six ceremonies have not yet been completed, but the date has been basically set, just one month after Shen Qian. Although there is Shen Wei in the middle, it shows the old lady's original wisdom at this moment.

After the death of the old man, the old lady advocated the separation of the family, and now the three rooms have been separated, although Shen Wei is the elder sister, but their respective marriages have nothing to do with it.

Shen Cui was taken back to the Shen Mansion, but she was locked up in the old lady's courtyard and lived in a hugging building, and the old lady personally invited two grandmothers to teach her.

Ji Lan still entered the family temple, and now the affairs of the third room are temporarily managed by Aunt Fang in the third old man's house.

Yu Qian'er sat in Ji Cheng's room and sighed: "This is really a play, and it is even more amazing than the play in the playbook." Girl, why did you say that the eldest prince of Qi suddenly came to our door and knelt? ”

"Because someone wants to settle it. Otherwise, if Ah Cui really goes to be a sister-in-law, the Qi family will definitely be ruined from now on. Ji Cheng said.

Qi Zheng saw that Ji Lan wanted to cover up this matter, and he didn't dare to make trouble. And the old lady dealt with it like that, it was a strong man who broke his wrist and cut his flesh to cure the poison, and he had to dispose of Shen Cui and Qi Zheng together.

Of course, the Shen family lost a granddaughter in this matter, but Shen Cui's role in the Shen family is comparable to the status of Qi Zheng's Qi family, Qi Zheng didn't dare to gamble at all, so he could only obediently come to the door to ask for marriage, and played the most lively infatuation drama in the capital this year.

Just like the three old men who went on a hunger strike for three days to marry Ji Lan, now it is Qi Gongzi who knelt in the snow for three days and three nights just to marry the five girls of the Shen family.

It's good now, Ji Lan of that day and Shen Cui of today have become legends. But the inside situation, only the parties know what it's like.

At that time, some people questioned the truth here, but now that the Shen family and the Qi family have been married, they have found out what is greasy from the clues, there is no real evidence, and it is just a broken mouth after dinner.

Ji Cheng went to greet the old lady every day, but she was not discouraged, and she still went to the punishment station every day.

Although Shen Qian also had some misunderstandings about Ji Cheng in general with the old lady, seeing that Ji Cheng was sincere, he looked pitiful when he was taken away, so he had to go up and persuade again: "Sister Cheng, the old lady's anger will disappear by herself in a few days, don't be sad." ”

Ji Cheng nodded, the old lady didn't see her, and she didn't stay at the door, so it would be forcing others to forgive herself.

"Honestly, Ah Cui, when did that happen? Why don't we know at all? Shen Qian asked Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng smiled bitterly: "I also found out later." It was the time of Nanyuan's autumn hunting. ”

Shen Qian was shocked when she heard this, frowned and thought for a while, Ji Cheng didn't think in that direction if she didn't mention it, but when Ji Cheng mentioned it, she immediately remembered many clues.

At that time, Shen Cui disappeared all day, Ji Cheng fell off the horse again, she thought that when Shen Cui was taking care of Ji Cheng, she was actually not in Ji Cheng's tent, and Ji Cheng was afraid that Shen Cui was with them.

At that time, Shen Qian was still wondering, why she hadn't seen Shen Cui all the time, but she didn't think about it at all, so couldn't it be that Ah Cui and Na Qi were in the wilderness?

Shen Qian was ashamed to death when she thought of this. Here, in fact, she is also responsible, at that time, Ji Cheng was sick in bed, and she was very sick, where could she take care of Shen Cui, but she, who was an elder sister, did not play a role in control.

As soon as Shen Qian's heart knot was untied, and when Ji Cheng went to ask the old lady for peace the next day, she couldn't help but tell the old lady everything about this.

The old lady sighed, "I also know that she is a good person, and if something like this happens, her situation will only be hateful and pitiful, and she definitely doesn't want to." I shouldn't have doubted her, but Ah Cui's heart is really unbelievable. ”

Ji Cheng was still in time before Chinese New Year's Eve, and when he saw the old lady's face, he naturally had some tears again, and there was no need to elaborate.

However, Ji Cheng didn't have the face to continue to stay in the Shen family, and after the twentieth month of the month, Ji Yuan also returned to the Shen family from Dongshan Academy to live, Ji Cheng discussed with him, and took his sister-in-law over when the spring was opened, and Ji Cheng could go back to Orchid Lane to live justifiably.

Ji Cheng was panicked in her heart, she claimed to be a smart person, but she unknowingly ended up in such a situation, which was 108,000 miles away from what she had imagined before she came to the capital, and there were some things that you couldn't do if you didn't believe in fate. Shen Che was born as if he was coming to restrain her, and everything that happened to him had no good fruit.

But in the final analysis, Ji Cheng also made a mistake, because Ji Lan treated her like that, she didn't treat Ji Lan and Shen Cui as a family at all, so many things could have been stopped, but she didn't do anything, just ask who can rush to help in the face of such a person.

But now that Shen Cui has been grounded, Ji Cheng should go to see her because of his feelings.

Ji Cheng asked Yu Qian'er to carry a red glazed olive bottle to the garden, the white plum of "Xue Wei Xiangyi" bloomed, and Ji Cheng wanted to pick a plum branch and insert it for Shen Cui to send over.

It's just that the one chosen by Ji Cheng was too tall, and Yu Qian'er jumped several times and couldn't reach it, "Girl, wait, I'll go find a stool to pad my feet." Yu Qian'er handed the vase to Ji Cheng's arms and quickly ran to find a stool.

Ji Cheng stood in place, tiptoeing to hold the vase with one hand and reach the plum branch with the other, only a little bit to be able to climb, she jumped on the spot a few times, but the plum branch was relatively strong, and it was constantly broken for a while, Ji Cheng was about to jump a few more times, but saw a hand stretched out from the top of his head, only to hear a crisp sound of "click", and the plum branch fell into the hand of the comer.

"Are you doing a monkey show?" Shen Che asked Ji Cheng.

After getting drunk that day, Ji Cheng hadn't seen Shen Che for many days, and he had the heart to kick him at this time.

Shen Che inserted the plum branch into the vase that Ji Cheng was holding, "The one you picked is not bad." ”

"Thank you." Ji Cheng took half a step back and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, thank you Cousin Che for saving me 50,000 taels of silver." Everyone who deserves to be taught has received it, and it is worth more than fifty thousand taels of silver. ”

Shen Che smiled, "Everyone's position is different, so the decisions made are different. I can't help Ah Cui cover up, because indulging in her will only hurt her. ”

Ji Cheng nodded, she understood the truth, if it were her, she might do the same as Shen Che. It's just that Ji Cheng is in the game, and she can be miserable by Shen Che in this game, so she can't be an outsider's peace of mind.

"Are you blaming me for the things of my ancestors?" Shen Che asked.

Ji Cheng shook his head, "On the contrary, if there is no one inside to speak for me, the old ancestor is afraid that he will not see me until now." ”

Shen Che was silent, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Ji Cheng straightened his sideburns and raised his head and said, "But I still don't have the face to live anymore, I plan to send a letter to my father in the spring and ask my sister-in-law to come and live." ”

Ji Cheng paused, pressed back the words he wanted to blurt out, and said goodbye to Shen Che.

Ji Cheng originally wanted to say that Shen Che should be satisfied now, she lives in the Shen family, in case the old lady or Ji Lan kisses her and marries her in the future, Shen Che will not be so easy to control her. Now that she has fallen into such a situation, the old lady will naturally not help her anymore, Ji Lan also entered the family temple, and Ji Cheng was completely held in the palm of his hand by Shen Che.

Ji Cheng walked forward gloomily, and Shen Che looked at her back for a moment.

Su Yun stood under the plum tree on the hillside, quietly watching the scene just now, Shen Che broke the plum branch for Ji Cheng, and inserted it into the bottle for her, Ji Cheng lowered his head, Shen Che also looked at her with a slight bow, occasionally the wind blew down a few white plums, spun down from the top of the two of them, and Su Yun's eyes were sour.

When something like that happened, I didn't expect Shen Che to be willing to get close to Ji Cheng.

Although Shen Cui's matter was hidden from Su Yun and Lu Yuan, as long as he had the heart, Su Yun lived in the mansion, how could he not hear the wind and grass.

What happened to Shen Cui, Su Yun didn't know, but she could make the third lady enter the family temple to retreat, Shen Cui was sent out and picked up, and she was engaged immediately, Su Yun thought about it and thought about it, she didn't expect Shen Cui to be pregnant, but she must have had a head and tail with the son of the Qi family and was discovered.

The last time the old lady was angry with Ji Cheng, she must have been shielding Shen Cui behind her back.

Su Yun bit her lip, she didn't understand where Ji Cheng got into Shen Che's eyes.

said that when Ji Cheng went to the old lady's yard, he first greeted the old lady and explained her intentions, and Yun Jin led her directly to Baoxia.

Ji Cheng originally thought that he would see the haggard and sullen Shen Cui, but how did he know that Shen Cui was not only not haggard at all, but was also humming a little song to groom in the mirror, and when he saw Ji Cheng coming, he was also smiling.

"Sister Cheng." Shen Cui greeted him, "Ah, what a beautiful plum blossom." ”

Ji Cheng handed the olive bottle to Shen Cui, "It's good if you like it." ”

Shen Cui played with the plum branch and smiled at Ji Cheng with some embarrassment, "Sister Cheng, you're not angry with me, are you?" I also have no choice, my mother is about to beat me to death, I have to push you. ”

Ji Cheng was silent, for Shen Cui, Ji Cheng only summed up one lesson, that is, how far to hide.

Shen Cui saw that Ji Cheng didn't speak, and knew that she still had zài mustard in her heart, but she apologized that she had already said it, so she forgot about the embarrassment and ran away.

"Sister Cheng, after I was sent out that day, did Brother Qi really kneel at the gate of the mansion for three days and three nights?" Shen Cui asked knowingly.

Ji Cheng nodded.

Shen Cui smiled: "I knew that I didn't see the wrong person. My mother said that Brother Qi wanted 50,000 taels of silver, and as soon as he saw that something happened to me, he immediately rushed here. Their family is like that, and now it's the Chinese New Year, and it's not a big deal if they can't turn around for a while. Sister Cheng, can you help me go and see Brother Qi, if there is any difficulty in their house, can you help me take care of it? Shen Cui looked at Ji Cheng expectantly.

Now Shen Cui is only worried about one thing, that is, Qi Zheng's mother must not go for half a year, otherwise they will have to wait three years before they can get married.

"Sister Cheng, last time Qi Hua told me that there is a thousand-year-old ginseng in Changchun Hall that can last life, can you give it to Brother Qi's mother for the sake of my face?" Shen Cui asked Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng said: "That's the treasure of Changchun Hall's town store, even if I want to take it, I have to agree with my father." Otherwise, you can write a letter to my father and see if my father agrees. ”

Shen Cui sneered, "Sister Cheng was so happy when she said to Qi Hua that day, why did she push back today?" ”

Ji Cheng smiled, "You also know that the Ji family is a merchant, and everything has to be a good word, if the Qi family can get the silver, I can naturally say that my father will move." Just like today, if Ah Cui can give 50,000 taels of silver, I will give the other half for you. ”

Shen Cui was silent, when she and her mother were sent out of the house to collect things, Shen Cui blamed Ji Lan, complaining that she didn't come up with 50,000 taels of silver at Qi Zheng's request, otherwise Qi Zheng came over to ask for a kiss, and the rest of the matter would not have happened.

It was only then that Shen Cui knew that the income of the shop had been very bad in recent years, and there were more than 100 mouths up and down the family, where could she support it with her father's little money, so there was not much silver left in Ji Lan's hand.

"My sister is so short-sighted." Shen Cui sneered. Ji Cheng only cares about his immediate interests, and if he asks her Shen Cui in the future, he will not be so easy to speak.

Ji Cheng felt tired when she looked at Shen Cui, she came over today just to make a show for others, after all, she was a cousin, Shen Cui was grounded, and it was always unreasonable for her not to come and take a look.

"You rest, I'll go back first." Ji Cheng said.

Shen Cui suddenly remembered that he still had something to ask Ji Cheng, "Sister Cheng, how is my mother?" ”

can be regarded as remembering, after Shen Cui first worried about his mother-in-law's body, it was Ji Lan's turn.

"The ancestors didn't allow anyone to go to see my aunt, but I heard that she was in good spirits. Don't worry too much, as long as you're well, your aunt will be fine. Ji Cheng said.

The Shen family's family temple is in the corner of the north corner of the Qiyuan Garden, and it has been vacant for several years, and it was only re-cleaned when Ji Lan moved in this time. Ji Cheng also just learned that the people who were punished into the family temple did not eat fasting and chant Buddha every day, although some people sent rice and vegetables into it every day, but there was no one who served, and they had to do it themselves. This tossing is much better than chanting scriptures.

Ji Cheng was stunned when he heard it, this method is really good. If she marries someone in the future, she will have to come to this when she sets rules for the people behind her.

When Ji Cheng was about to leave, Yu Qian'er trotted in, "The girl can be regarded as finding you, I took a stool and went to the garden to see no one everywhere, but I was scared to death." ”

"Did you return the stool?" Ji Cheng asked casually.

Yu Qian'er immediately began to jump again, Ji Cheng had to follow Yu Qian'er back to the garden, and as soon as he walked to Meilin, he saw Shen Jing turn around on the path.

"Sister Cheng." Shen Jing saw Ji Cheng and immediately shouted loudly, and stepped in front of Ji Cheng in a few steps.

"Cousin Jing." Ji Cheng replied.

Shen Jing was a little cramped, and looked at Yu Qian'er on the side, "Sister Cheng, I have something to say to you." ”

Ji Cheng said "um" and walked a few steps to the side, but he gestured to Yu Qian'er with his eyes and didn't allow her to move.

Shen Jing followed and whispered, "Sister Cheng, I heard my cousin say that you are going to move to Orchid Lane to live in the New Year, right?" ”

Ji Cheng nodded.

Shen Jing began to get anxious, "You're doing it for Ah Cui, right?" ”

Ji Cheng shook his head, "No, it's for the eldest brother." Sooner or later, the sister-in-law will have to go to Beijing to take care of the eldest brother. ”

Shen Jing said: "Sister Cheng, no matter what others think, I know that your heart has always been the kindest. Shen Jing also knew that the old lady didn't see Ji Cheng, "Don't be uncomfortable, you will see people's hearts over time, what kind of person you are will be seen by everyone." Sister Cheng, even if you go to Orchid Lane, I won't forget you. ”

Ji Cheng couldn't stand the affection in Shen Jing's eyes.

"Sister Cheng, when the autumn is over, I will tell my mother that I want to marry you." Shen Jing plucked up his courage and said.

Ji Cheng didn't know what Shen Jing was stimulated by, and suddenly ran to say this to her.

Shen Jing was complaining about Ji Cheng, those things were all caused by Shen Cui's own indiscretion, but the old lady and his mother blamed Ji Cheng, and Shen Jing felt sorry for Ji Cheng.

"The matter of getting married must be ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker, cousin, I just haven't heard what you just said." After Ji Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward quickly.
