Chapter 138 Reluctant to choose relatives (2)
It's not that Ji Cheng didn't want to choose the Dai family, but as soon as she thought of doing that kind of thing with a man after getting married, she felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart, and even retched.

Shen Che's voice sounded behind Ji Cheng: "If I hadn't checked your pulse, I would have thought you were pregnant."

Ji Cheng didn't look back, but straightened up and said, "I've followed your arrangement, what else do you need?"

Shen Che said coldly: "When you go back to see the old ancestor, I think you should know how to answer. Don't try to use the kindness of the old ancestor again, or I don't mind killing chickens and monkeys. You don't have to ask about the Western Regions, but cooperate with Yuan Qianjing The matter has to continue, and naturally someone will continue to contact you." Shen Che continued.

Ji Cheng turned his head to look at Shen Che in amazement, Shen Che sneered and said, "You should be thankful that you still have value to use, don't do it any more, or you won't even have this last bit of value."

But when he went back to Mrs. Shen's room, after Shen Che gave Madam Cao a stare, she didn't dare to follow, and she didn't dare to stay outside for a long time, so she hurriedly returned to Rui Yingtang to reply.

As soon as Madam Cao entered the door, she saw the old lady clutching the beads in her hand and counting the beads with her eyes closed. She had served the old lady for decades, and seeing her movements, she knew that the old lady had some unsolved worries in her heart.

"Miss." Cao Mama called softly.

"Didn't Archer let you follow?" asked the old lady.

Granny Cao shook her head: "Not only did she not let me go, even the servant girl wanted to say something, but was frightened back by his look. If you say something presumptuous, the servant girl will lose face in front of the young lady. On weekdays, the second son sees the servant girl At that time, there was never a smile, and this is the first time this servant has seen him. I don't know where he is going to take Cheng girl."

Ever since Ji Cheng entered Ruiyingtang, he has been interested in getting closer to Cao Mama. Cao Mama's status in the Shen family is equivalent to half of the master, and her speech is more effective than Ji Lan. Ji Cheng has done a lot to her. Less effort.

But Ji Cheng also did a good job.

Grandma Cao has an only son, who was inevitably spoiled since she was a child. In addition, she has a big backer like an old lady. He is everywhere in cockfights, dogfights, flower wine, and casinos.Although Madam Cao was respectable in front of the old lady, and the monthly silver was generous, the old lady also subsidized her 20 taels of silver every month, but because she had such a son, it was not enough.

Everywhere, people came to ask for debts. Although those people didn't dare to make a fuss in Cao's house, it was annoying to hang around the door all the time.

The Ji family lacked everything except money, and Ji Cheng asked someone to pay off Mammy Cao's son's gambling debts.

But everyone is a smart person, although Madam Cao didn't want to accept Ji Cheng's favor, but she had nothing to do with her precious son, so she brushed it off in a muddle-headed manner.

Over the past few days, Ji Cheng didn't ask Madam Cao for anything, he seemed to be very sensible, and he didn't try to reciprocate favors, so he won Mama Cao's heart more and more. Now Mama Cao naturally wants to help Ji Cheng say something. sentence.

The old lady didn't open her eyes, Cao Mama glanced at the old lady's expression, she didn't want to speak again, but she couldn't help thinking of Ji Cheng's eyes asking for help today.

When Ji Chenglin boarded the sedan chair, he gave Cao Mama a distressed look, which made Cao Mama feel sad, and the little girl's family somehow provoked Shen Che.

Mammy Cao still knows Shen Che well, don't look at him usually making small fuss in front of the old lady and making jokes, but when is he a meddlesome person again?Not to mention being so caring about my cousin at home.Back then when Su Yun was there, Shen Che didn't give any color to her.

Thinking of this, Mammy Cao said again: "Miss, what are you thinking? Even if Cheng girl wants to talk about kissing, Archer shouldn't come forward. If people find out, there will inevitably be some Suspicious." This is a tactful word, but Madam Cao actually means that this matter is too unruly, and when Ji Cheng talks about being close, Shen Che should avoid suspicion, and it's not that there are no elders in the Shen family and the Ji family.

The old lady opened her eyes and said, "You followed them out first, did you notice anything wrong?"

Cao Mama couldn't imagine what the old lady meant when she said something was wrong, she recalled it carefully, and there was nothing wrong with it: "There is nothing unusual about it." Nodding his head, he didn't say a word, and as for Shen Che, he never spoke.

When the old lady heard it, she paused counting the rosary in her hand and let out a long sigh.

Mammy Cao hurriedly said, "Miss, is there something wrong?"

The old lady said: "If there is no problem, it is a big problem. This is to lead Cheng girl to see the man. No matter how shy and reserved the daughter is, shouldn't she ask a question at this time? But you see, Cheng girl has asked A word?"

Mammy Cao patted her thigh immediately when she heard the words: "I think there is something wrong, but I just can't figure it out. It's really reasonable to ask Miss to say that."

"Miss, what do you mean, Cheng Yatou knew that Archer was going to help her talk about marriage?" Cao Mama asked doubtfully.She suddenly thought of Ji Cheng's character, she even entertained herself so well, it is not impossible to please Shen Che, "Could it be that Cheng girl was impatient, and she made it clear in private that Archer would marry her? "

The old lady shook her head. The reason why Cao Mama has been with her for so many years is because of the word "loyalty", but her brain is indeed a little stupid. The housekeeper promised by Mama will take care of her nearby.

"What kind of heart is Cheng girl? How could she go beyond me and persuade Archer to help her marry him? It's not right for Archer to come forward, Cheng girl can't do such a stupid thing. What's more, when Archer mentioned When we got married, I saw that she also looked surprised." The old lady said.

At this moment, the old lady inevitably recalled the situation at that time.Although Ji Cheng stayed by her side and refused to leave, she didn't raise her head at all when Shen Che came in, but her grandson couldn't even cover it up, and every time he said a word, he always glanced at Ji Cheng from the corner of his eye.

It was as if he was waiting for Ji Cheng to speak.

The old lady's eyes opened, she didn't realize it at the time, but now thinking about it, she realized that Shen Che was waiting for Ji Cheng's reaction every time he said a word.But Ji Cheng didn't react at all, coupled with his subsequent obedience, it was simply what Shen Che meant, and he felt quite resigned to his fate.

"Oh, what a crime, I don't know what happened between these two enemies." The old lady couldn't help complaining.

Cao Momo was even more surprised when she heard this: "Miss, you mean Archer and Cheng girl..."

Apart from the love of their children, the old lady really can't think of any other bond between Ji Cheng and Shen Che: "I guessed it too, but it's almost the same. You can be regarded as watching Archer grow up." , although he has a bit of a temper, but when did he point fingers at his cousin's affairs? Even with A-Xian and A-Cui, he didn't talk too much. Why do you say?"

Grandma Cao couldn't figure out why, she could only look at the old lady with a puzzled face: "But Cheng girl is whimsical and obsessed with Archer, and Archer is getting impatient, and seeing that your old man loves Cheng girl, that's why I want to marry you." Taking care of the marriage for Cheng girl, completely severing her thoughts?"

The old lady really felt sorry for Madam Cao's brains, no wonder she raised her son so ineffectively: "Archer wants to kill people, why use such an inappropriate way? Why did he treat Yun so coldly?" Girl, do you remember?"

Cao Mama naturally remembered: "Then if this is not the case, the servants will no longer be able to figure out the reason."

The old lady had her own conjectures in her heart, but then she felt that it was impossible. If her Archer had taken a fancy to Ji Cheng, she definitely didn't have to make circles with her. Back then, even Fang Xuan dared to bring him in front of her. Ji Cheng Her background is much better than Fang Xuan's, she is a decent girl.Then the only reason the old lady could think of was that Ji Cheng didn't like Shen Che.

But this doesn't make sense, Ji Cheng even nodded at the marriages of the He family and the Ye family back then, so there was absolutely no reason for him to look down on the Shen family.The old lady also knew very well in her heart, didn't Ji Cheng attach himself to the Shen family just to get a good marriage?
The old lady also understood Ji Cheng. With her looks, marrying into an ordinary family may not necessarily be a blessing.Besides, people go to high places and water flows to low places. It is quite normal for Ji Cheng to want to marry high.

The more the old lady thought about it, the more headache she got, and she couldn't figure out the entanglement between Shen Che and Ji Cheng, so she could only wait for the two to come back and observe carefully.

Therefore, as soon as Ji Cheng and Shen Che entered the corner gate, a waiting girl stepped forward to greet them.

As soon as the old lady saw Ji Cheng, she took her hand and sat down next to her: "How about it? Don't be shy either, men will get married when they go to college, and girls will get married when they go to college, just say what you think."

Ji Cheng didn't speak, just nodded shyly.It was that she thought she could act better than the opera singer, but Ji Cheng's limit of being able to pretend to be shy at the moment was already at Ji Cheng's limit.

Seeing Ji Cheng's shyness, the old lady patted her hand and sighed heavily: "Your appearance, I originally kept you in our Shen family for selfish reasons, but now I don't know which family's son it is. Having your blue eyes is really a blessing from a previous life."

The old lady said this without beginning or end, Ji Cheng felt strange when he heard it, judging by Ji Cheng's eyesight, the old lady had never intended to keep her in Shen's house, and now she suddenly inserted Such a sentence, even if it is just an empty cover of human feelings, seems very inappropriate.

Could there be something else she didn't know?Naturally, Ji Cheng didn't know that Shen Yu had mentioned her to the old lady, and although the old lady disapproved in her heart, she didn't object. In Ji Cheng's opinion, Shen Yu was far from treating her to the point where he would mention it to the old lady. If it is said that someone really said something to the old lady, it is most likely Shen Jing.

But although the old lady is old, her brain is not aging at all, and she would never say such a sentence casually, so that Ji Cheng can't figure it out, and his eyes are full of confusion.In fact, Ji Cheng still had a layer of worry in his heart. If the old lady said this, Shen Che wouldn't have misunderstood that she had given the old lady some ecstasy soup in private, right?Ji Cheng was worried about the Ji family and the Ling family, fearing that Shen Che would get angry again.

The old lady's gaze never left Ji Cheng's face. Apart from confusion, there was even a little worry on her face, which was the most inappropriate expression.Although the old lady couldn't guess the reason, she was basically sure that Ji Cheng had no strange feelings for Shen Che.

Looking at Shen Che again, the old lady couldn't help but sigh. He used to hide a little in front of her, but occasionally glanced at Ji Cheng, and every time he greeted her, he couldn't help but look around her room to see if anyone was there. But this time, he just looked at Ji Cheng without avoiding it.

But it's not true that Shen Che has been looking at Ji Cheng. When Ji Cheng was pretending to be shy, it probably hurt his eyes, making people unable to help but stop talking.The old lady couldn't help but think of Shen Che's appearance when he was a child, it was exactly the same.

After all, ginger is still old and hot, and the old lady tried out the tricks between the two of them with just one word.

"Which family is this young master?" The old lady looked up at Shen Che.

"The eldest son of Dr. Liu's family." Shen Che said.

The old lady thought she had heard it wrong: "Who are you talking about?" Although Liu Jun's hobbies were unrefined, and the Liu family tried their best to cover them up, there is no impenetrable wall in this world. In addition, there is also the marriage of Su Yun and Lu Yuan to discuss, the old lady has searched all the men of the right age to marry in the capital, and she has heard of Liu Jun.

It was Shen Che who told her that Liu Jun was manly.

Shen Che replied again: "The eldest son of Dr. Liu's family in the Imperial College."

Hearing this, how could the old lady not know that Shen Che was just messing around, and she also didn't know what the two of them were messing about, so they came to such a situation.But after all, she cared about Shen Che's face, so she didn't reprimand her. She just patted Ji Cheng's hand and said, "Marriage is a big deal, and you shouldn't play games. Even though you've met each other, you still have to ask your parents for their opinions. You You must be tired after going out all day, let's go and rest first."

Ji Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, blessed the old lady and Shen Che, turned and went out.

When Ji Cheng was far away, the old lady ordered someone to make tea, which meant to have a long talk with Shen Che. Shen Che waved his hand to stop him and said, "Old Ancestor, I still have to go out at night, just to come back and change clothes."

The old lady didn't care about Shen Che's business: "If you don't make this matter clear today, it depends on whether you can get out."

Shen Che helplessly supported his forehead: "Ji Cheng also knows the details of Liu Jun himself, if she doesn't nod herself, who can force her?"

The old lady frowned and said, "Nonsense, which girl is willing to marry that kind of person?"

Shen Che smiled, but the smile didn't enter his eyes: "Do you think Ji Cheng's appearance is forced? You old man can't see her thoughts? As long as the man's family background is not bad, she is willing. Isn't the Ji family just looking for a backer?"

Shen Che's words were so harsh that the old lady said in confusion: "Archer, you have never been so mean when you speak, why is it different when you treat Ah Cheng?"

Before Shen Che answered, the old lady continued: "Maybe Ah Cheng has provoked you so much that you don't want to see him? After all, they are all relatives. How can we meet in the future if we really get stuck? See if my old lady can Be a peacemaker for you?"

The old lady is from experience, she also tasted the taste of love between men and women when she was young, ups and downs, bittersweet, spicy, full of five flavors, now recalling that the things that were thought to be the best are actually nothing at all, they can support each other for a lifetime, white heads Growing old together is the most important thing.

But such clichés are told to young people, but they may not be able to listen to them. Without experience, it is difficult to investigate and return to plainness.

A sense of untimely joy filled Shen Che's heart. If he really told the old lady what Ji Cheng had done, she might be the first one who couldn't spare Ji Cheng, so how could he say the words of being a peacemaker.

It's just that Shen Che tried his best to avoid thinking about things, but he was excited by the old lady's words: "Don't get involved with the old ancestor, Ji Cheng is a white-eyed wolf, and she may not remember your kindness to her. .”

But she still remembers how bad you were to her.Shen Che couldn't help laughing at himself. In the past, he had read the story of the king of Yue's sacrifice and courage dozens of times, but today he almost fell into the fate of Fu Chai.

Shen Che's hands resting on the small table couldn't help clenched into fists, Ji Cheng's cruelty was indeed beyond his expectation.But Shen Che had to admit that this was not completely beyond his expectation.

He knew exactly who Ji Cheng was from the very beginning.At the beginning, when he was on important business, he accidentally hid under the carriage, but overheard the private conversation between Ji Cheng and her two girls. Shen Che had nothing to do with Ji Cheng's mentality of climbing high, and Ji Cheng was just an outsider That's all, but since he heard it, Shen Che naturally had a bad impression of her.

Coupled with the fact that Ji Cheng plotted against Ji Lan and Shen Cui, it was even more difficult for Shen Che to have a good impression of her, so even though they had formed a cooperative relationship later, Shen Che saw in the news in the next newspaper that Wang Siniang bought " "Magpie Bridge Immortal", although he guessed about its purpose and target, but did not remind Ji Cheng.

Whoever sows the cause will eat the fruit. If Shen Che takes action, it is a help, and if he does not act, it is right.

It's just that Shen Che himself didn't expect a change in his mind towards Ji Cheng, or he expected it, but let it develop, thinking he could control everything.

The night Ji Cheng appeared on Phoenix Terrace, without his hint, Nan Gui would never have been able to grasp his whereabouts, and she would not have dared to take Ji Cheng to Phoenix Terrace even if Nan Gui had a thousand courage.

Shen Che picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip. Even if he was an idiot, he knew how precious the girl's innocence was. Of course, whether Ji was clear or not was still open to question.

Shen Che recalled Ji Cheng who turned his back on the next day, the little girl was young, but she was more open than all the women Shen Che had ever met, so much so that he had to admit that he was Ji Cheng's tool that night , is no different from that young man.

At that time, Ji Cheng had already wanted to silence the unwarranted young lady, and now thinking about it, Shen Che is no exception, especially when she wants to marry his elder brother Shen Yu.
