Chapter 103 Discuss Marriage (2)
"I also called your elder brother. Your parents are not here. It's good to have him as the elder brother to help you. When you ask your family later, he won't be ignorant." The old lady said to Ji Cheng.

"Thank you, old ancestor, for being so thoughtful." Ji Cheng smiled a little embarrassedly, she is only a 15-year-old girl anyway, and this is a matter that concerns her for the rest of her life, so it would be a lie to say that she is not nervous.

The way to see each other is very simple. From the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the boxes on both sides of the Royal Street have been fully booked, and people in the entire capital have gone out to enjoy the lanterns.

The old lady led Ji Cheng to the private room on the second floor of Lingyun Pavilion, Madam He would bring He Cheng over later, Quan Zuo came to visit by chance as a relative.If the meeting is good, then everyone will be happy, if not, then it was not meeting just now, but just a chance encounter.With this thin layer of paper on the surface, everyone's face will be better.

Ji Cheng thought about how many girls on this street were looking at their future husband-in-law tonight, and when he thought of Ji Cheng, he felt both embarrassed and funny.

Ji Cheng and the old lady didn't sit down for a long time, when the girl replied that Mrs. He had arrived.

Ji Cheng nervously smoothed the almost invisible wrinkles on the skirt with his hands, and obediently got up and stood behind the old lady with his head down.

Mrs. He led He Cheng into the door, and He Cheng stepped forward to salute the old lady, his eyes were clear, and he did not look around, his upbringing was evident.

From the moment He Cheng entered the house, Ji Cheng had already subtly sized him up from the corner of his eyes. He was tall and handsome, although he was not as Shen Che or Qi Zheng, but he was well-groomed.

When the old lady asked He Cheng what to say, Ji Cheng also listened with pricked ears, and his conversation was not bad, without appearing to be polite, and he spoke more straightforwardly.

From the old lady's questioning, Ji Cheng already knew that He Cheng is now also serving in the army under his father's command, serving as the captain of Xuanjie, and the blue is better than the blue.

After the old lady finished asking, she remembered belatedly: "I was busy talking just now, and I haven't introduced you yet. This is the niece of your third aunt's family. Today, I will accompany my old lady out to appreciate Deng, we are all relatives in the same family, maybe we will meet again in the future, but it is best not to be someone who does not know your family."

Hearing this, Ji Cheng stepped forward to salute He Cheng and said, "Young Master He."

He Cheng blushed at that moment, and stammered out a sentence: "Miss Ji." When he spoke, He Cheng didn't even dare to look at Ji Cheng's face, which made the girls and women around him couldn't help laughing, even the old lady Both the wife and Mrs. He couldn't help laughing.

As soon as He Cheng arrived in the capital, he heard from his younger sister that his mother had shown him a family of girls. He Cheng was eighteen years old and just when he was thinking of a wife.What's more, his younger sister praised Miss Ji as a fairy, not to mention her poems and books, she also boasted that she looked like No. 1 in the world. Although He Cheng didn't believe it, she still had some expectations.

It's just that Ji Cheng's background is a bit poor, but He Cheng can also understand that the girls in Xizhou are looked down upon by his mother, and most of the girls in the capital are unwilling to marry far away. Besides, the warriors are so rude, and many honorable girls are also unwilling to marry. However, whether his marriage is high or low, it is the most difficult to handle.When He Cheng heard his mother talk about Ji Cheng, he felt that Ji Cheng was the most suitable.

He Cheng went upstairs to meet the old lady of the Shen family with some apprehension and anticipation, but he never expected that his sister was not exaggerating at all. When He Cheng saw Ji Cheng's appearance clearly, I just don't know where to put my hands.

When Fang Xuan and his family passed through Xizhou, his father specially invited Fang Xuan and his family to visit the mansion. At that time, He Cheng only thought that Fang Xuan and his family were the most beautiful people he had ever seen in his life.Although the world is big, I am afraid that there will be no other person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her, who knows that he is just a frog at the bottom of the well, seeing Ji Cheng today, I know that there are people outside the mountains and there are people outside the mountains.

After sending off Mrs. He and He Cheng, the old lady was very considerate and deliberately left room for Ji Cheng and Ji Yuan to talk for their brothers and sisters to discuss.

Ji Yuan is simply too satisfied with He Cheng. To be honest, when Ji Cheng insisted on going to the capital to marry, Ji Yuan still felt that his sister was too ambitious, but now he did not expect to have a very good marriage.

The old lady meant to keep the siblings to discuss the He family's marriage, but Ji Yuan skipped this step and said directly to Ji Cheng: "If this marriage is finalized, there is no need to ask your sister-in-law to come to the capital. My mother can't take care of the family affairs by herself, and it all depends on your sister-in-law's help. When you get married, you will naturally marry from our family. When the snow melts, I will send you back to northern Shanxi."

Ji Yuan has the temperament of such a patriarch, there is no need to discuss anything, he will directly help you decide.Ji Cheng knew her elder brother's temperament, so he nodded in agreement without refuting.

When he returned to Xiaokuayuan, Ji Cheng was still thinking about this matter, but he really wanted to plant flowers so that the flowers would not bloom, but unintentionally planted willows and willows to make shade.

Ji Cheng was trying to make a good marriage, but her aunt not only didn't help at all, but also dragged her back. On the contrary, it was Shen Xun, who Ji Cheng had never thought about, because she was afraid that she would rob Chu Zhen. In a panic, he made arrangements for the He family for her, but it worked out.

It can be seen that this world is really unpredictable, and it is completely out of your control.

Now that his wish has come true, Ji Cheng's knots with Ji Lan's mother and daughter have also been relieved a lot.Anyway, without her aunt's relationship, how could Ji Cheng get into Shen's house?Of course, Ji Cheng is also very glad that she will be far away from Ji Lan and Shen Cui soon.

The engagement is imminent, but Ji Cheng still has a lot of things in his hands. She just managed to figure out the business in the Western Regions, and she has to help Shen Che formulate a comprehensive strategy while in Beijing, which is also a credit.But talking about this matter on paper is not enough, Ji Cheng has to ask Shen Che's subordinates who have been in the Western Regions for a long time for advice.

Ji Cheng is a quick-tempered person who does what he says, so he turned his head and got into Lanyue Zhai, hung the map of the Western Regions on the wall, rubbed his chin and thought carefully.

There was a noise outside the door, Ji Cheng turned his head and saw the stone door turning, and Shen Che walked out from the door.

Just when Ji Cheng was grateful and full of energy, he walked over to meet Shen Che, with a smile on his lips, no longer the usual awkwardness.Her mentality is so simple, as long as she is given the corresponding benefits, Ji Cheng will naturally reciprocate.

"Cousin Che, you came just in time. I was just looking for you." Ji Cheng said politely, "I have read all the business ledgers in the Western Regions, and sorted them out."

Shen Che nodded indifferently, so that Ji Cheng, a subordinate, could not feel Shangfeng's pulse at all, so he could only serve him cautiously.

Ji Cheng pointed to the two boxes of ledgers in the corner: "There are no problems with the ledgers over there." Then he took out three stacks of ledgers from the low cabinet beside him, put his hand on the stack on the left and said, "These The accounts are neat and clear at a glance. The accountant is very nice, and the income is also very outstanding. I asked the shopkeeper Mei at home, because last year there were wars in the Western Regions, and there were a lot of robbers and robbers along the way. With such income, it can be seen that the shopkeeper in charge of this area is a capable person, and Cousin Che can be promoted as appropriate."

Ji Cheng had already learned to read the account books from her father when she was very young, and she basically knew the twists and turns in it, and she could tell the general ability of a person just from the accounts.

Shen Che flipped through the stack of ledgers casually, and the names on the top were all Shen Che was familiar with. When he gave the ledger to Ji Cheng, he specially erased the name of the shop, and also wanted to test Ji Cheng.The reason why Shen Che is familiar with these people is because they are all shopkeepers that he intends to reuse.But he didn't see it from the accounts, but summed it up from other information.

Shen Che put down the accounts in his hand calmly, and glanced at the other stack: "What about those?"

"These accounts are also very well done, but they are very well done with fraud." Ji Cheng said.

Shen Che flipped through it, and sure enough there were a few familiar names in it, and these books were very clean, but the old account books under Shen Che who were in charge of liquidation every year failed to see any major problems, but were picked out by Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng pushed the last stack in front of Shen Che: "These are the ledgers that I am not sure about. If they are fake, then they are the best of the best. If they are true, then there must be something hidden. Cousin Che may check it out. check."

Shen Che nodded.

Ji Cheng continued: "Currently the business along this route is selling jade, BMW, and spices, which are the most profitable. However, I heard from shopkeeper Mei that Dashi's Poli (glass) has a new improvement. It was previously spread to the Central Plains. Poli’s transparency is not high, but now their technology can greatly increase transparency, I think if they can get this technology, they will definitely be able to make a lot of money.”

Shen Che seemed to be a little interested: "What do you think the newly improved Poly is useful for? Although the current transparency is a little lacking, it doesn't look wrong."

Ji Cheng said: "I'm thinking that if we can get Poly's new production method and try to reduce the cost, it will be used on windows in the future. Wouldn't it be better than paper-pasted windows? It can be transparent and windproof in winter."

The interest in Shen Che's eyes became more intense, and now some windows are also made of polka dots, for example, some colored polka dots are used in the boat hall of Shen's house, but it's just for decoration, and it's just a little bit of light.If it is true as Ji Cheng said, the large-scaled Poli can be used to make windows, and the profits will definitely be huge.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to inquire about it." Shen Che said, "The shopkeeper Mei under your command seems to be very capable."

When Ji Cheng heard this, he was afraid that Shen Che would poach her: "For a family to prosper, there must be a few capable helpers. If shopkeeper Mei is helping me now, isn't he also helping cousin Che?"

Shen Che pulled the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Ji Cheng knew that Shen Che would definitely be unhappy, and she would be somewhat unhappy if it were her.When Ling Ziyun came that day, Ji Cheng had already noticed Shen Che's displeasure.

But Ji Cheng didn't think that Shen Che was jealous, people have varying degrees of possessiveness towards beautiful things, even she herself is not exempt.Shen Che's attitude towards her was already somewhat ambiguous, but now that he suddenly wants to get engaged, it is understandable that he is not happy, since his plaything was robbed.
