Chapter 128: No Hope for Marriage (3)
Ji Cheng stared at Shen Che for a moment, then knelt down and wiped the water from his hair with a cotton kerchief.Shen Che reached out and stroked the jade ring on Ji Cheng's waist: "I can't help it when you treat me so tenderly."

Can't help what?Naturally it goes without saying.

There were splashes of water everywhere, and Ji Cheng was lying softly in the bath, the strange thing was that the water in the pool was very warm even though the water was not boiled.Shen Che poured water on her body with his hands one after another, watched the water drops slide down her shoulders comfortably, and then hugged Ji Cheng who was complaining: "I can't soak for too long, I'm going to be dehydrated .”

Ji Cheng shook his legs to express his dissatisfaction, then he rubbed against Shen Che's arms, and found a comfortable place to sleep again.

Night and day are two completely different worlds, so it is natural to be dignified during the day.Ji Cheng got up yawning, his eyelids were still a little bit open, Yu Qian'er helped Ji Cheng put on his shoes: "Why doesn't the girl seem to be getting enough sleep lately?"

Ji Cheng's heart tightened when he heard this, Shen Che has been so obsessed recently, she was invited to Jiuli courtyard almost every night, even if they did nothing, the two of them just brewed and tasted tea silently, Shen Che didn't mean to trap her in Jiuli The hospital is not allowed.

Ji Cheng felt guilty, afraid that Shen Che would find out something, so he was extra tolerant to him.One of the two sorted out the news from the Western Regions, and the other took care of the overall situation. They had a tacit understanding, and the days were considered peaceful.

But now it's mid-April, Shen Xian's wedding date is set on the second day of May, and Shen Cui's wedding date is June [-]th, if you don't hurry up to take care of it, it will be too late.

Ji Lan is going to be released after all, and Shen Cui is married, so it is impossible for her as a mother not to come out and preside over the overall situation.

Ji Lan looks fine, but she has lost a lot of weight, and her complexion is not as fair as before. It seems that she hasn't talked to anyone for a long time, and she seems to speak slowly, as if she doesn't know how to express it.

"Aunt." Ji Cheng stepped forward to greet Ji Lan.

Ji Lan glanced at Ji Cheng: "You are doing well now."

Ji Cheng lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Looking at Ji Cheng's appearance, Ji Lan's skin is pink and moist, shiny and plump, as dazzling as the sun's rays in the morning sun, and it seems that she is living a very happy life, but looking at herself, it is easy to feel unbalanced.

The third master, Shen Ying, took in a new concubine during the period when Ji Lan entered the family temple. She was the daughter of a down-and-out scholar. Although her appearance was far inferior to Ji Lan, she was quiet and gentle. Shen Ying mostly rested here. In a bride's room.

When Ji Lan was released, Shen Ying just sat in the main room for a while and then left.

Ji Lan has just been released, and she also knows that now is not the time to clean up Ji Cheng: "Have you visited A Cui recently?" Shen Cui has not been released yet, and according to the old lady's intention, she will be locked up until the day before her marriage.

Ji Cheng shook his head: "I went to see her at the beginning, but later the old lady found out, and no one was allowed to see A Cui."

Ji Lan closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "During the time I was away, what happened outside?"

Ji Cheng thought about it, and picked out a few important ones to talk about, among which the matter of the Wang family must be talked about.Ji Lan was speechless after hearing this, and turned to ask: "What about you? You can say that the marriage is over after cursing up with the old lady?"

This is Ji Cheng's sore foot, Ji Lan obviously asked on purpose.When she was released, Shen Wanli's family had already told her everything.

"Ah Cheng has no virtue, this time Daddy is going to Beijing, I plan to go back to Jin with Daddy." Ji Cheng said.

Ji Lan looked at Ji Cheng who was backing down everywhere, and seemed to feel that it was no fun, besides, she was only releasing it now to see the aftermath, and she was just knocking on Ji Cheng.

On the contrary, after Shen Che learned about the news released by Ji Lan, he said a few words of concern: "Did Third Aunt make things difficult for you?"

Ji Cheng glanced at him suspiciously: "If you embarrass me, do you want to vent your anger for me? Or help her and embarrass me too?"

Shen Che squeezed Ji Cheng's cheeks: "Do you still remember the previous feud? Will the benefits of your Ji family be lost in the matter of private weapons? This is a situation where cooperation is beneficial."

Speaking of ordnance, Ji Cheng's father has made great progress.The Tan and Chen families were too busy protecting themselves, so they had no time to take care of Yuan Qianjing, but Ji Qing stepped forward to stabilize Yuan Junshou's heart, letting him know that the Shen family was behind the Ji family's support, so the Ji family and the Ling family have now replaced the Tan family and The trend of the Chen family is gone.

Because the Ji family controlled the export of arms, they could talk to those bigwigs in the Western Regions. Ji Cheng thought about Mei Changhe in his heart. It must be more convenient for him to do things now, but Mei Changhe has never When the news came back, Ji Cheng was a little worried.

Shen Che fed a piece of fresh lotus root with honey juice into Ji Cheng's mouth: "What are you thinking, so engrossed?"

Ji Cheng came back to his senses and concealed his guilty conscience: "I was thinking about what to add makeup to Ah Cui."

Judging from Ji Cheng's habits, she should have already prepared for such a thing as adding makeup, so there is no need to cram. Shen Che didn't want to expose her lies at first, but seeing her gloomy expression, he couldn't help but tease her. She: "What do you want to add to Ah Cheng's makeup when she gets married in the future?"

Ji Cheng thought viciously, just give me your head to add makeup, but he said with a smile: "I am an ordinary person, if my cousin adds makeup to me in the future, it would be best to give me a silver ticket."

Shen Che smiled, but didn't answer.

In early summer and April, Ji Cheng is not the only one who wants to marry.Because Shen Yuan is getting married soon, Shen's residence naturally doesn't plan to hold another Hundred Flowers Banquet this year, but the peonies in the garden are blooming, and my sisters always want to have fun.

Shen He was the most active, and specially sent posts to Ji Cheng and the others. In addition to the guests who lived in Qingyuan, there were about a dozen girls' families at this banquet.

When Ji Cheng arrived, Shen He was leading Feng Qing to greet him around. Seeing Ji Cheng coming, he was about to greet him when Brother Hong rushed out and pushed Ji Cheng: "You liar, I don't want to see you!" your turn."

Ji Cheng was dumbfounded by the push, and everyone looked at her in surprise.Ji Cheng reacted and nodded apologetically to Shen He, then turned around and ran out with Brother Hong.

Don't look at Brother Hong's short legs, but he is really not slow when he runs seriously.Holding the corner of his skirt, Ji Cheng chased Brother Hong to the edge of the West Lake Cave.

"Brother Hong." Panting, Ji Cheng grabbed Brother Hong's neckline from behind.

Brother Hong struggled angrily for two or three times, but couldn't break free, turned around and pushed Ji Cheng again, crying, "You liar."

Ji Cheng knelt down and hugged Brother Hong: "What's wrong? How did I lie to you?"

While dropping the golden beans, Brother Hong pretended to be cold and wanted to push Ji Cheng away: "You are a liar."

Ji Cheng hugged Brother Hong and patted him on the back with his hands, "Alright, I'm a liar."

After all, Brother Hong was a five-year-old child, and he felt the fragrance in Ji Cheng's arms, and after struggling to push a few times, he fell on Ji Cheng's shoulder and began to cry.

"You didn't even come to see me on my mother's death day, you clearly said you would come to see me in a few days." Brother Hong started gasping and hiccupping from crying.

Silently, Ji Cheng continued to gently caress Brother Hong's back, and when he stopped crying, he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away his tears: "I'm sorry."

"I don't care to hear you say sorry!" Brother Hong started pushing Ji Cheng again.

Ji Cheng knew Brother Hong's temperament, he was young, but he was a little precocious because of his mother's death, and he really hated being treated like a child by others.Ji Cheng took Brother Hong's hand and said, "Let me tell you why I didn't visit you, okay?"

Brother Hong looked like "I don't want to hear your sophistry", but he didn't struggle anymore.

Ji Cheng pulled Brother Hong to sit on a stone beside him, and said, "I don't want to see you to avoid suspicion. You know your mother is gone, and your father will be reunited sooner or later, and I'm not young anymore. If you go to Changheng Academy often, you will be misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding?" Brother Hong said, "Do you want to be my mother?" Brother Hong lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Ji Cheng and said, "Don't you want to be my mother?"

Ji Cheng's face flushed red.

"Don't you look down on my father?" Brother Hong said, he actually knew that his father was going to reunite, and his grandmother also asked him what kind of stepmother he wanted, Ruixue and Yunzhu also agreed. Tried him privately.Brother Hong hates others trying to replace his mother very much, but he also knows that he can't stop it, so if the candidate is Ji Cheng, he can barely accept it: "Although my father is a bit bored and fierce, but I will help you."

Ji Cheng felt a little sour when he heard that, the unique innocence of children is always the most touching.

Seeing that Ji Cheng didn't speak, Brother Hong became a little angry again: "Do you think my father already has me as a legitimate son, which will hinder your future sons, and that's why you don't want to marry my father?"

What a great injustice.Ji Cheng frowned, he didn't know who said these words in Brother Hong'er's ear, obviously to provoke the relationship between him and Shen Yu's wife in the future.

"Of course not, it's because our families are too different." Ji Cheng said.

At this age, Brother Hong doesn't have such a strong concept of family status, but he just thinks that since Ji Cheng is a relative of the family, there is no difference between them, so he doesn't believe Ji Cheng's words.

"Brother Hong, who told you that you would hinder the child born to your father's stepmother in the future?" Ji Cheng asked.

Brother Hong didn't understand why Ji Cheng asked this question.

Ji Cheng sighed, she actually didn't want to say such things to Brother Hong, a child, but she felt sorry for Brother Hong, and always wanted to tell him everything she knew: "No matter who told you, you should think about it. The purpose of her saying this. Once you have this thought in your heart, no matter who your father marries as his successor in the future, you will probably be dissatisfied in your heart, right? But you are still young now, and your stepmother It won't do any good if you meet up too early, because your strength is not strong enough." Ji Cheng didn't even know how to tell Brother Hong about the power of "Pillow Wind", "If your father marries a wife, you'd better Get along well with her, or you will be ruined if you are given a reputation of being unfilial in the future. Human hearts are fleshy, as long as you respect your stepmother, she will not be bad to you. Your father will also be very Glad to see you and your stepmother getting along."

Brother Hong heard it in a daze, and pouted: "I don't want a stepmother. If it was you, it would be about the same, and my father must also like you."

Ji Cheng's face was flushed by Brother Hong's childish words: "You can't talk nonsense like this."

"I'm not talking nonsense, my father liked the sachet you gave me last time, he never wears those things, and even asked Ruixue to embroider a purse, and put your sachet in it. Brother Hong said proudly, "I know everything".

It's a pity that extreme joy gave way to sadness, as soon as Brother Hong finished speaking, Ji Cheng saw Shen Yu walking over from the small path.She hastily pulled Brother Hong's hand, and said to Shen Yu: "Biao Brother Yu."

I don't know if Shen Yu heard what I said just now, Ji Cheng looked at Shen Yu with some embarrassment, but his expression was exactly the same as usual cold, so I really couldn't tell if he heard it or not.

When Brother Hong saw his father coming, he immediately fainted, and called weakly: "Father."

Shen Yu said: "The paper kite you and A Yuan made for Brother Hong last time has not been let go, he has been waiting for you to take him to let go."

Hearing this, Ji Cheng's eyes slipped and landed on Shen Yu's waist. There was a sachet hanging there, but he didn't know if it really contained the herbs that she got the "No. [-] Scholar Fragrance" back then.

Although Xiang couldn't be sure, Ji Cheng heard Shen Yu's words right, was he encouraging her to approach Brother Hong?

Ji Cheng didn't dare to raise her eyes, if there wasn't Shen Che standing in the middle, she would definitely be jumping with joy at this moment.But she also knew that as long as she dared to show Xiao Xiao's thoughts about Shen Yu at this moment, Shen Che would definitely kill all possibilities.

But for Ji Cheng, marrying Shen Yu was no longer just a matter of admiration, she actually really wanted to appreciate Shen Che's expression at that time, but unfortunately, she could only entertain herself in her heart.

Seeing that Ji Cheng kept her head down, Shen Yu wasn't sure if she was shy or didn't understand him, and wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start it.His eyes fell on Ji Cheng's earlobes, as white and lovely as a little jasmine.

Shen Yu didn't dare to look any more.
