Chapter 153 Don’t change your mind (3)
Ji Qing said: "What is Qi Dafei? Now the Shen family is in full swing. General Zheng Bei Da has repeatedly made military exploits in the Northwest. It is a great contribution. How many people wish to marry their daughter into the Shen family. You are good, you don't even think about it, when you are old After that, can Ling Ziyun treat you as well as before? When you are young, one or two kind words from a man can make you confused. When you reach my age, you will understand that father will not harm you. If you don’t listen to me today, you will regret it in the future.”

Ji Cheng got up and said, "I have confidence in Brother Ziyun, even if I made a wrong choice, I chose it myself. Daddy, don't think that everyone in this world is you."

This may be too hurtful to say, Ji Qing raised his hand and slapped Ji Cheng: "You scoundrel, you want to punish the Xiang family and the Huo family, and I completely depend on you, what else do you want? You raised you, and this is how you repay me? Sure enough, girls are extroverted. I knew this before. Back then, Zhu Jijun wanted to rape you, so why did I give up my family wealth to save you?"

Ji Cheng covered his face and said, "Since father was willing to save his daughter from fire and water, why can't he help her now?"

Ji Qing felt that Ji Cheng was simply a demon, and insisted on marrying Ling Ziyun in spite of a good marriage. "At the beginning, you were a concubine, but now you are marrying someone as a wife, and you are the future wife of the country. Can this be the same? I have seen the second son before. How can he not be better than Ling Ziyun?"

Ji Cheng has made up his mind: "Even if he is better than Brother Ziyun in every way, if I don't like him, I just don't like him."

"You..." Ji Qing pointed at Ji Cheng's nose and was so angry that he couldn't speak, "Nie Zhan, Nie Zhan, do you still have any shame? Miss Jiajia, whether you like it or not, you have read all the sage books Did it go into the dog's belly?"

Ji Cheng knew that Ji Qing was determined to agree to this marriage, and it would be useless to say more, so he said: "But father, don't be too happy, Shen Che may not be willing to this marriage now."

If Ji Cheng understands correctly, it should be the proposal of marriage first, while Shen Che discovered her affair with Ling Ziyun later.

Ji Cheng suddenly remembered the smile on Shen Che's face when Ling Ziyun invited Shen Che to a banquet.Ji Cheng stomped his feet, his heart trembled, he didn't know what he wanted to say to Ling Ziyun.

If this marriage really comes true, Ji Cheng really can't imagine what kind of blow it will have on Ling Ziyun. In an instant, a lot of thoughts are spinning in her mind, and she even thought about elopement.

It's just that elopement is just a thought, Ji Cheng will not put himself in such a situation.

For the current plan, I can only go to see Shen Che, and the person who tied the bell must be untied.

Shen Che and Mrs. Peng live in Liu Garden, which is a famous garden in northern Shanxi, and the owner is Liu Shilang, who has become an official.Ji Cheng went out over the wall from Ji's house, Ji Qing was afraid that she would go to Ling Ziyun privately and cause a scandal of elopement, so he specially ordered the gatekeepers not to allow her to go out.

Fortunately, with Ji Cheng's dexterity, climbing over the wall is only a little more difficult than turning over a book.

When Ji Cheng arrived at Liu Yuan, Shen Che hadn't come back yet, so the servants asked Ji Cheng to sit down for a while, she had just picked up the teacup when she saw Mrs. Xiao, the heir's wife of Duke Peng Guo come in from outside.

Ji Cheng, the wife of Duke Peng's eldest son, has also seen it before. She is a well-known person of perfect blessings, loving husband and wife, and filial sons and grandchildren. Whenever there are weddings in Beijing, she is often entrusted to her. When Shen Xian got married, she was the one who strangled her. Face.

When Xiao Shi saw Ji Cheng, he pursed his lips and smiled, laughing so hard that Ji Cheng, who was here to "provoke", couldn't help but blush.

"Archer went out and hasn't come back yet." Xiao said with a smile.

Ji Cheng blushed and bowed his head, "Oh" in response.

Xiao took a good look at Ji Cheng. To be honest, although she had met Ji Cheng before, her impression was only limited to her being a very pretty girl. A few days ago, she was suddenly invited by the ancestors of the Shen family to come to Ji's house for a kiss. , She was taken aback, why did she choose the Ji family's daughter again?
Seeing Ji Cheng now, Xiao naturally had to weigh Ji Cheng's ability to impress the old lady of the Shen family and Shen Che.

At first glance, I thought it was too beautiful. Although it was already a beauty a few years ago, it was still a girl's figure after all, although it was eye-catching, it was not surprising.But seeing them now, Fang Jiaoren understands that this world really has the appearance of "sinking fish and falling geese, closing the moon and shameful flowers", making everyone else look like scum.

Xiao thought, with such a face, no wonder Shen Che nodded.I'm afraid that Shen Che had taken a fancy to this girl when she lived in Shen's house, otherwise why Shen Che refused to discuss marriage for so many years, and started to make trouble once she got rid of the clothes?

Shaking her head and laughing, Xiao said: "You two children are really good. In order to propose marriage to your family, Archer insisted on making my old arms and legs come here for a long time. He just said that he valued this marriage. I see. , In fact, it’s because of the importance you attach to you, right? I’ll let it go, but he’s still not at ease, and insists on escorting me here, in fact, he just wants to get your Geng Tie to be at ease.”

Ji Cheng blushed even more. He didn't know how to explain to Xiao Shi, so he could only shake his head and say, "No..."

Mrs. Xiao must have been exhausted for several days, and hadn't had a good conversation with anyone. He couldn't hold back his words as soon as he started: "What is it? It's the first time I've seen Archer's eager look. And you, today I just went to your house to propose marriage this morning, so I came here to find Archer?" Mrs. Xiao is Ji Cheng's elder, and she is used to being a joking person, so it doesn't matter if she speaks casually to the younger generation, "Ah, yes, You haven’t seen each other for several years, right? Look, I almost forgot my memory. He came here counting the day when you would get off your service. It was just a few days ago that I couldn’t get away because of some things at home, and I was so urged by him. This man is always impatient when he marries a wife."

Ji Cheng didn't know how to answer Xiao's words, so he could only smile embarrassingly.

Xiao patted Ji Cheng's hand: "Don't be ashamed, everyone has this experience. Looking at you, you will be blessed in the future."

A moment later, someone came to report that Shen Che had returned, so Xiao smiled jokingly: "Go, I just pretend I didn't see anything, and I didn't know you were here."

Ji Cheng fled in despair, Xiao's words made her feel dumbfounded, was the person she was talking about Shen Che?It's just that another voice said in Ji Cheng's heart, that may not be true, otherwise why would Shen Che come to propose marriage?
In fact, Ji Cheng really did not expect what happened today.Back when she was still in the Shen family, the old lady was already looking after Shen Che's wife, and even gave an ultimatum. She thought that Shen Che should have been engaged or married long ago, but she didn't expect that there would be such a drama today. .

The old lady and Anhe Princess are willing to agree to his nonsense?
While bowing his head in thought, Ji Cheng followed his servants to the place where Shen Che lived.

As soon as Ji Cheng walked into the hallway, he saw Shen Che and the Geng Tie on the table.

"Are you here to get this back?" Shen Che's gaze paused on the Geng post, and then he raised his eyelids to look at Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng took two steps forward, her purpose was indeed to retrieve the Geng Tie, but when her finger was placed on the Geng Tie, it was clearly just a thin piece of paper, but it seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and she couldn't pick it up. Can't let go.

After a long time, Ji Cheng withdrew his hand and sat down opposite Shen Che.

The thin Geng Tie still lay quietly on the table.

Shen Che asked: "Have you thought it through?"

Ji Cheng remained silent.When people do not really face the choice, they always think that they can be selfless and fearless, and go forward bravely, but when the choice really comes, they will realize how cowardly and selfish they are.

Ji Cheng did not take Geng Tie, in fact, he had already given up on Ling Ziyun.People think too much, and it is always inevitable to look forward and backward.She could indeed be good with Ling Ziyun regardless of everything, but that also meant that she had to give up the Ji family, or even the Ling family.

Looking at Shen Che's cold eyes, Ji Cheng knew that if she rejected Shen Che's marriage proposal, she would face the ensuing suppression from Shen Che.The Ji family and the Ling family had too many shady businesses, and they were completely vulnerable to Shen Che.

Shen Che poured a cup of tea, and slowly pushed the cup to Ji Cheng: "It's good that you can figure it out, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to Mrs. Xiao why I suddenly returned the Geng post."

Ji Cheng understood Shen Che's hint, and couldn't help but said, "Even if I figured it out, cousin Che figured it out? I thought after what happened this morning, it should be your wish to return the Geng post."

Shen Che's eyes narrowed, and he said sarcastically, "If I return the Geng Tie, wouldn't it be in line with your wishes?"

Ji Cheng thought that Shen Che's words were obviously meant to be angry, but marriage matters could not be used to be angry, she had to adjust her attitude, and said in a different tone: "Why did you choose me?" Being able to have such a great charm can make Shen Che propose to himself.

Why did you choose Ji Cheng?Shen Che also asked himself this question, and the old lady also asked him.In fact, there is always only one answer to this question, just because of liking.

People who don't like it would rather not marry.

Just because of Shen Che's knot in her heart, the old lady shed tears in anger.If you don't listen to beatings or scolding, you just don't get in.

As for Ji Cheng, maybe three years ago, Shen Che still couldn't think clearly, so he couldn't let go of his figure, but in these three years, he often haunted his dreams, and after three years, he still hasn't diminished at all. What a fool.

It was precisely because he understood that Chen Chen was able to suppress the urge to kill Ling Ziyun on the spot.If it wasn't for fear of Ji Cheng's sadness, Ling Ziyun would have died several times long ago, how could he be allowed to dance around the Northwest battlefield?He really thinks that he has survived many times because of his lucky stars, and does he have God's blessing?
It's a pity that these worries are not enough for Ji Cheng.But today Ling Ziyun really touched Shen Che's scales, and his forbearance was only temporary.

The words of Ji Qing's concubine, Mrs. Pan, still ringing in Shen Che's ears: "If you don't like it, you don't like it." Ji Cheng said it so simply!
It's a pity that even if she didn't like it, Shen Che couldn't let it go, but he couldn't explain the reason.

When he came to Jinbei, Shen Che had already planned to have a good talk with Ji Cheng, even if she ridiculed him a few words, it didn't matter, as long as he let her untie his knot.

In the end, Shen Che personally witnessed Ji Cheng's affection for Ling Ziyun in Fahong Temple, and heard her unintentional feelings for him. How can he say what he was prepared for?

Ji Cheng waited for a while, but did not see Shen Che's answer, so he continued to ask: "There are so many people to choose from, why must it be me?"

"Have you neglected your family's business these past few years? The benefits of smuggling arms are huge, and your father is not very obedient. I want you to ask your father to use this line of business as a dowry." Shen Che said.

It's okay for Shen Che to deceive others with these words, but he can't coax Ji Cheng.Shen Che has so many tricks, how can he still control a Ji family?As far as privately committing ordnance is concerned, it is already a curse of the Ji family.And if Ji Cheng was Shen Che, it would be too late to separate himself from the Ji family.

Although exporting arms to the Western Regions is for the sake of the country and the people, it is not an aboveboard method after all. Once someone finds out, it will be a matter of beheading and exterminating the family.As early as at the very beginning, Shen Che had expressed that if things were revealed, he would not hesitate to push the Ji family out as a shield.But now if the two families become in-laws, once the matter of the Ji family is exposed, the Shen family may also be suspected of being under the sun.

How could someone as smart as Shen Che let the Shen family fall into such a quagmire?
Ji Cheng shook his head and said, "This reason is too far-fetched."

"Northwest has been using troops for two years, and the national treasury has been empty. The soldiers' food and salaries have been in arrears for several months, and they are all raised by the army themselves. Your father agreed to give you a dowry of one million silver, and then give you another 20 taels of silver every year." Shen Che said. .

This reason is even more nonsense, Ji Cheng has read Jing Shijun's account books, even if the two-year battle cost countless silver, it is definitely not worth the second son of the Shen family selling his marriage for money.

But speaking of this, Ji Cheng already knew that Shen Che would not tell him the truth, and he was so resentful that he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Oh, so, cousin Che sold to my family? "

Even though Shen Che had a thicker skin than ordinary people, when Ji Cheng said this, he choked and coughed twice: "It's hard to say whether it will be sold or not, and it may be that some people can't get married and need money from their natal family."

This is obviously a joke-like dispute of words.With Ling Ziyun around, how could Ji Cheng worry about marrying and go back?As soon as he thought of Ling Ziyun, Ji Cheng threw another trick at him.

Shen Che looked at Ji Cheng, the powder on his face was a bit too thick, the Ji Cheng he knew seldom put on makeup, especially when he just took off his clothes.

"Why did you apply such thick powder, did your father beat you?" Shen Che asked.

Ji Cheng tilted his head subconsciously. This man really deserves to be from Jing Shijun, and his eyes are sharper than knives.

"Yes." Shen Che said one word to Ji Cheng.

Because Ji Cheng wanted something, he was unwilling to engage in a verbal argument with Shen Che.

"Can you not go to the banquet tonight?" Ji Cheng asked.It can be imagined that Shen Che has already held her Geng Tie, and the family's career has been settled. If Ling Ziyun finds out at night, he still doesn't know what kind of stimulation he will receive. Ji Cheng is afraid that he will do something irrational. Provoke love and hatred.

Shen Che took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "I can't think of a reason why I didn't go."

"You have already won and got everything you want, what else do you want?" Ji Cheng said angrily.

Shen Che chuckled lightly and said, "Shouldn't we teach those disciples who dare to covet my 'future wife' a lesson?"

Obviously, what Ling Ziyun said and did this morning made Shen Che deeply concerned. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was already gearing up in his heart.

Ji Cheng knows Shen Che best, the more he smiles, the more you should be on guard.

"Don't touch him." Ji Cheng stood up nervously and said.

Shen Che stood up slowly supporting the table, and said word by word: "Why don't you move him? He wouldn't regret dying a thousand times."

"Shen Che!" Ji Cheng gritted his teeth authentically.

Shen Che glanced at Ji Cheng, and said with a cold face: "If you don't want me to touch him, show full sincerity. From now on, if you still miss him in your heart, I can't stand the living, only the dead can't jump around." .”

Naturally, this meeting broke up unhappy.
