Cheng Jun said: "That was the first time Cheng Zhi and Shen Dong met, Shen Dong's father Shen Baiqing did a very successful business, especially in terms of cloth, almost monopolized the business in the entire Jiangnan area, known as "ten cloths and nine Shen" When Shen Dong was fifteen years old, the Shen family dyed a very beautiful cloth and sent it to the palace, the princess liked the color of this batch of cloth very much, the emperor was happy, and it happened that the princess was born, so he invited Shen Baiqing to Beijing for a banquet, knowing that the Shen family had a daughter who danced very well, and specially ordered to dance for the princess when the time came, Shen Baiqing took his wife and children to run around for days and arrived in the capital, that is, Cheng Zhi had just won the champion in the big exam, and the emperor ordered Cheng Zhi to paint for the princess. ”

He Weiwei asked, "Then how could Cheng Zhi draw a portrait of Shen Dong?"

"Fifteen-year-old Shen Dong looks like a beauty who came out of a painting, Jiangnan women are so gentle, Shen Dong is even more aura, it was originally the princess's birthday, but Shen Dong was robbed of a bit of limelight, that banquet, almost all the young talents had their eyes on Shen Dong dancing on the stage, Cheng Zhi drew someone by mistake for a while, but it is understandable. ”

"Then the princess is not angry?"

"How can the princess of a country be such a stingy person, she was robbed of the limelight by Shen Dong, but she didn't make trouble, but turned back to persuade her father, saying: 'Cheng Zhuangyuan and Miss Shen are also talented and beautiful, why didn't my father promote a good marriage because of this?'"

"So this princess is really generous. He Weiwei sighed.

Cheng Jun also nodded and said, "Yes, she is a woman with general knowledge and bearing." ”

He Weiwei asked strangely, "How do you know about these things? You were there at the time?"

Cheng Jun shook his head and said, "I also listened to Lord Fang. ”

He Weiwei didn't ask any more questions, it seemed that everything could be explained by using the reason of "Lord Fang", even if she didn't trust this person 100% in her heart.

After thinking about it for a while, He Weiwei asked, "Chengjun, does the Shen family have a daughter of Shen Dong?"

Cheng Jun nodded casually, and then said, "But I didn't come to you today to explain this matter to you, have you heard that your birthday will be in a few days?"

He Weiwei was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know, it's Shen Dong's birthday, not mine." ”

Cheng Jun said: "This is Shen Dong's first birthday after the accident, and Shen Dong's father will come then, so it is estimated that you may come on stage to dance at that time." ”

"Drink, this father really cares about his daughter, and it's been almost four months since his daughter came back before he thought about visiting. He Weiwei said disdainfully: "I can't dance." ”

"I think it's the same, you have Shen Dong's skin, but you don't have Shen Dong's soul. ”

"Hey, Chengjun, you're too much, I'm me, Shen Dong is Shen Dong, even if I look exactly like her, but we're two people, please don't make a comparison, okay?" was inexplicably shot, He Weiwei said angrily.

Cheng Jun said with a smile: "So you have been practicing for the past few days, make preparations in advance, and when the time comes, you can only do it without showing it." Let me tell you about the Shen family. ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the house to get busy, and Cheng Zhi came to discuss everything with He Weiwei, He Weiwei perfunctory a few times, and then said to Cheng Zhi: "You look at it, I have no experience, I don't know what is good or not." ”

This is true, after all, Shen Dong is just a girl in the deep pavilion, she used to be in charge of things at home, where it seems to be in Cheng Mansion, there are few families, not even a housekeeper, Cheng Zhi did not suspect it, but said considerately: "It's okay, you are tired of practicing dance these days, then I will do it myself." ”

Speaking of practicing dance, He Weiwei said to Chengjun: "When the time comes, just shirk the accidentally broken arms and legs, no." ”

Cheng Jun thought it was good, and boasted: "You're good at being lazy and slippery." He Weiwei rolled her eyes, not thinking how glorious the compliment was.

During the day, she hid in her yard and pretended to practice dancing, Linglong accompanied her, she lied to Linglong and said, now she is doing basic skills, and when the time comes, just dance, Linglong has heard of Shen Dong's dancing, but she doesn't doubt it, she was pasted by He Weiwei, God knows, He Weiwei she can't even get off a fork! At night, she hid in the house with Cheng Jun like stealing a man and talked secretly.

Soon the day came, and early in the morning, He Weiwei woke up with a beautiful babble.

"Madame, what's wrong with your arm?"

"I fell down during dance practice yesterday. He Weiwei said lightly: "Help me get dressed, otherwise it's not good to be late." ”

"But yesterday it was fine. Linglong asked unwillingly.

He Weiwei had already thought of a reason and said, "I suddenly wanted to practice again last night, so I got up and practiced by myself, but I accidentally got hurt. ”

"Why isn't that lady called Linglong?"

"You're already asleep, why wake you up again, besides, when I was a girl at home before, I often stumbled when I practiced dancing, and I would have dealt with it myself. ”

Linglong stopped talking, served He Weiwei to get dressed, and came to the door of the mansion, Cheng Zhi was obviously surprised, walked quickly past to help He Weiwei, and asked, "What's wrong?"

He Weiwei stopped him and said, "I accidentally injured it, don't blame Linglong, I'm afraid that I won't be able to dance when the time comes, which will ruin everyone's interest." ”

"What are you talking about?" Cheng Zhi immediately said seriously: "It's all a family, dancing is an interest, not to mention that today is your birthday, and you are not a laughing person, you must dance." ”

After that, he pinched He Weiwei's arm and said, "Why don't you go in in first and let Linglong find a doctor to take a look at it for you." ”

He Weiwei listened to Cheng Zhi's words, and was so moved that she almost cried, why bother? It turned out that she didn't have to jump if she was unhappy, where was it used to make Cheng Jun really break her arm for the effect, and the pain could only be endured. He Weiwei said, "No need, I've already bandaged it." ”

Cheng Zhi no longer insisted, and the group waited at the door for a while, and saw three carriages stopped at the gate of Cheng Mansion one after another. As Cheng Jun said, although the Shen family is a big business, it is rare that Shen Baiqing does not have the philistine of a businessman, but is elegant like a scholar. Shen Dong's mother Zhou E was born in a scholarly family, if it weren't for the defeat of the family, she wouldn't be able to marry Shen Baiqing, Zhou E had light eyebrows and elegant manners, standing beside Shen Baiqing, looking like a little woman, seeing He Weiwei, her eyes were already full of tears before she spoke.

According to Cheng Jun's description, He Weiwei immediately recognized Shen Dong's parents, she stepped forward and was about to bend down to worship, but was held up by Zhou E.

"My son, what's wrong with you?"

"Mother, my daughter is fine, this arm was accidentally tripped when she got up at night, and it will be fine in a few days. He Weiwei finished speaking extremely awkwardly.

Shen Baiqing on the side looked at He Weiwei deeply, He Weiwei was a little weak-hearted, lowered her head slightly, and avoided his gaze.

Fortunately, Shen Baiqing didn't say much, just said: "Go in and talk, don't stand at the door and cry and make jokes." ”

Zhou E wiped her tears, and the group entered the hall in a mighty manner, with Shen Baiqing and Zhou E sitting on the upper seats, He Weiwei and Cheng Zhi next to each other, and everyone else standing.

Shen Baiqing first asked Cheng Zhi some questions about business, He Weiwei was puzzled, this Cheng Zhi is just a scholar, what does he know about business! Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhi talked eloquently, and the answers were fluent, although He Weiwei didn't understand, but seeing Shen Baiqing nodding frequently, he knew that it should be good.

The two of them chatted and chatted like no one else, He Weiwei was both bored and happy, although she did her homework a lot, but she was afraid that Shen Dong's parents would ask and accidentally answer wrong, so she would be exposed.
