Chapter 158 Uncompromising with each other (1)
Ji Cheng and Shen Che went to Nanxun Garden to pay their respects to Princess An and Princess Anhe. Grandpa Shen Zhuo did not live in Nanxun Garden, but lived in Mohuatang next to Nanxun Garden. For three days, I have to wait for my uncle to wash his hands and eat, so he rests in Nanxun Garden.

Ji Cheng bowed to Shen Zhuo and An He, rolled up his cuffs and cleaned his hands in the green-glazed Jun kiln porcelain basin brought by the girl, stood next to An He, took chopsticks and served dishes to his parents-in-law.

During the entire meal, Shen Che and his parents really followed the sage's teaching of not talking when eating, and they didn't even exchange a word.Ji Cheng was already standing on his left foot, and then he heard An He say, "Pour me a glass of plum wine."

Ji Cheng was taken aback, drinking alcohol so early in the morning was very harmful to her health. She knew that An He was addicted to alcohol, but she didn't expect it to reach the point where she even had to drink for breakfast.

Ji Cheng didn't dare to move, he rolled his eyes at Shen Che, Shen Che nodded slightly, Ji Cheng looked at the Duke who didn't even move his brow, and then walked towards Wei Yu beside him.

After An He finished the cup of plum wine, Ji Cheng heard her say again: "You don't need to greet An here, if there is something else, I will ask someone to call you." Before Ji Cheng could speak, he saw An He He waved his hand again, "I get up late in the morning, if you come to pay my respects, I will have to bother to get up early, if you really can't sleep, then go to the ancestors to do my filial piety for me."

Now that we've talked about this, what else can Ji Cheng say.

After leaving Nanxun Garden, Ji Cheng couldn't help asking Shen Che: "Mother drinks early in the morning, don't you bother?"

Shen Che was silent for a moment and said: "I used to be in charge, but later I am not qualified."

Ji Cheng blinked, not understanding what this meant.

There are some things that Shen Che doesn't want to mention.At that time by the lotus pond in the West Lake, the slap Ji Cheng slapped him naturally fell into the eyes of Princess Anhe.Even if Anhe didn't care about Shen Che's affairs on weekdays, but seeing that he didn't respond after being slapped by his cousin, Anhe couldn't help but ask.

"What's going on between you and that Ji family girl?" This was the first sentence An He said to Shen Che.

At that time, the fingerprints on Shen Che's face hadn't disappeared yet, but Ji Cheng had put in a lot of effort.

"I want to marry her." Shen Che's answer was completely wrong.

An He was not surprised. She knew a little about her son, and it was rare for someone to slap him and not fight back.

"Why her?"

Shen Che thought for a while and said: "I am willing, you see, only she can control me."

The reason was really inexplicable, but An He actually accepted it, probably because after waiting for so many years, she had lowered her demands on her daughter-in-law.

It's just that who knew that on the same day, someone reported that Ji Cheng's mother had passed away. This filial piety lasted for three years, and An He was unwilling.In the end, the deal Shen Che made with her was that she would only ask about Shen Che's marriage, and Shen Che would no longer care about her drinking.

Because getting married and drinking are all personal choices, since Shen Che asked An He not to interfere with his preferences, he naturally couldn't interfere with An He anymore.The way mother and child get along is really different from ordinary people.

Because Shen Che didn't answer, Ji Cheng didn't ask any more questions, but the atmosphere of eating first made Ji Cheng guess how Shen Che got along with his parents.No wonder he is not restrained, since he has never been controlled since he was a child, right?Only the old lady can say a few words about Shen Che.

When we arrived at Ruiyingtang, the atmosphere was completely different. People in the old lady’s room were always chatting and laughing, but Shen Che only went in to ask for a word and then went out, but Ji Cheng still had to follow the old lady to socialize. guest.

Seeing Ji Cheng, Shen He came up, took her hand and said, "Ah, what's wrong with you young couple? Why did you move out of the bed after you just moved into the new house?"

Since ancient times, there are always fewer people watching the excitement than those who are quiet and self-conscious. Although Shen He's words were suspected of being gossip, but everyone's ears were pricked up by her words, and Ji Cheng couldn't help but answer.

In fact, Ji Cheng didn't know the real reason, but she could use the excuse given by Shen Che.

Ji Cheng straightened his sideburns and said, "I'm also puzzled by this. It's just that Erlang said that the bed was too stuffy, he's not used to it, and not sleeping well is a health taboo, so he hurriedly changed the bed."

"Why are you bored? We have also seen the bed in your new house. It is all hollowed out and carved, and the whole board is made of red sandalwood. It took a lot of effort to carve it in your family. What a pity." Shen He sighed.

Just as Ji Cheng was about to speak, he wanted to elevate himself to the word "good wife". She was marrying a chicken as a chicken, marrying a dog as a dog, taking her husband as her god, but the old lady spoke first.

"Hey, that's the problem with Archer. He didn't like to sleep on a shelf bed when he was a child. When he was a child, he was carried to sleep in the green cupboard in my house. He hated it and got bored and panicked. He kept making noises and ran to the garden. As soon as he lay down on the stone table in the garden, everything was gone. It’s just that a group of little girls searched for him for a long time, and they got boarded.” The old lady laughed.

With the old lady making a rescue, the unconvincing excuse that Ji Cheng copied will pass.

In the evening, when Shen Che went to the old lady's room to say hello, the old lady took him aside to talk, but did not avoid Ji Cheng.

"Tell me, what's the matter with moving the bed? I wanted to ask you this morning, but you ran fast. The new wife just came in, and you bullied others? Hurry up and apologize to your wife." The old lady Accused Shen Chedao.

The dowry furniture is the face of the new daughter-in-law, especially the new bed, which is the most important thing.Shen Che changed the new bed on the second day of his marriage. To outsiders, this undoubtedly means that he is extremely dissatisfied with his new wife. Moreover, considering Ji Cheng's background, many people are talking behind his back, saying that it is Shen Che. I can't look down on Ji Cheng.

In fact, Ji Cheng himself didn't feel wronged at all. Shen Che's various actions obviously didn't mean to slap her in the face, but were just out of nowhere.

At this moment, the old lady accused Shen Che in front of her, which was enough to give Ji Cheng face, and Ji Cheng immediately stood up appreciatively: "Old ancestor, Erlang didn't..."

The old lady interrupted Ji Cheng with a wave of her hand: "You, you can't be too good-tempered, I still count on you to take care of this monkey for me."

When the word "monkey" was used on Shen Che, Ji Cheng felt inexplicably happy, and couldn't help laughing.

"Old Ancestor, how old am I? You still call me that, you see Ah Cheng is laughing at me." Shen Che began to act like a baby.

The old lady laughed and said, "If you continue to behave like this, I will call you a monkey and let your wife laugh at you."

After the gag, the old lady stopped talking about changing the bed.In fact, if he was really wronged for Ji Cheng, he should ask someone to move the bed back, but after all, it is because he loves his grandson, something Shen Che doesn't like, so the old lady will dote on it.Asking Shen Che to apologize in front of Ji Cheng was to reconcile the conflict between the young couple.

When Shen Che and the others went out, Mammy Cao waited on the old lady to rest, gently loosened her hair, and shaved her scalp with a wide-toothed comb. "Miss, I think you are really serious. You are worried about Archer if he is not married, and you are also worried about him if he is married. The second young lady has a good temper. I think she looks like she is angry with Archer today." , why do you..."

The old lady knew far more than Madam Cao, and she even knew about Ji Cheng's slap on Shen Che from An He.But what they didn't know was that it wasn't the first time Ji Cheng slapped Shen Che across the face. She even dropped several sets of Shen Che's most cherished tea sets in the first time.

"Cheng girl is a person with a circle on the outside and a square on the inside. You can see that she has a good temper, but in fact she can make up her mind more than anyone else. But her temper is indeed not smug, she is not angry with Archer because she is patient, but Archer It's too reckless to act this time. Well, I'm worried that they won't be able to get along as husband and wife. " said the old lady.

"How is this possible? Didn't Archer personally tell you to marry Cheng girl?" Mammy Cao subconsciously felt that Shen Che must be dissatisfied with the husband and wife's discord, and it was Ji Cheng's turn to pick and choose.

The old lady stopped talking.When Ji Cheng was living in Shen's house, he never expressed his intention to marry Shen Che. The few times he said to kiss her, he always agreed to it, and the accident that happened later was not on her.Now that the old lady thinks about it, she always feels that Shen Che has tampered with it.

Later, when Shen Che suddenly mentioned that he wanted to marry Ji Cheng, he was still talking about the Liu family, and Ji Cheng responded silently. Something is wrong with Shen Che.Sure enough, the affairs of the Liu family were left alone.

When An He came to tell her that Shen Che wanted to marry Ji Cheng, Ji Cheng had just returned to Jinbei to observe his filial piety. The old lady and An He naturally disagreed. too big.

Fortunately, Shen Che never mentioned this marriage again, but he should not have other marriages either.When Shen Yu went to the Western Regions, it was rare for Shen Che to be at home. Even if the old lady and Princess An He jumped in a hurry, there was nothing they could do, but they didn't dare to engage Shen Che behind their backs, otherwise something might happen to him.

Ji Cheng's filial piety period has not yet passed, and it is just about to end, Shen Che went back to the mansion despite the days, and went to Rui Yingtang to personally mention the matter of marrying Ji Cheng to the old lady.

The old lady was still puzzled at the time, these were people and things that hadn't been mentioned in the past three years, and she only thought that Shen Che was something new, but he kept it in her heart.

It took a long time for the old lady to reply to Cao Mama: "This young man always thinks that he has endless time in his life to make troubles, and he doesn't cherish the time in front of him. I can see them take less detours and less detours." Detour."

Granny Cao is a foolish person, but she doesn't have as much thought as the old lady: "Don't worry, old man, didn't the former Lu's family come back and talk about it, and they are loving."

This love is naturally the credit of the rice milk and chicken blood handkerchief.

"You just wait to have a grandson. I think Cheng girl's figure is suitable for life, and her appetite is good. The land must be fertile." Cao Mama continued to comfort the old lady.

Ji Cheng is indeed Yisheng's figure, with a waist as thin as a willow, which sets off the buttocks and plumpness, this is Yinan's appearance.It's just fine if Madam Cao didn't mention it, but when she mentioned the old lady, she remembered what Shen Che said before about Ji Cheng's body being sick and unsuitable for him. Later, although he only needed to take the medicine for two years, it would be fine, but it was a hidden danger, and he had to pay it back. intervene.

When the old lady was worried about whether Ji Cheng would be able to conceive, Ji Cheng was actually a little bit worried about herself, because she was alone again tonight.

Ji Cheng has always been unable to sleep, not because of the lonely pillow, but Shen Che's stillness undoubtedly made it even more difficult for her to sleep.

The atmosphere was quite good tonight, when Ji Cheng and Shen Che returned to the Jiuli Courtyard, Shen Che even invited her to the top courtyard to look at the ledger.

Get along just like three years ago.

The only difference is that Shen Che used a new set of tea sets when making tea.Ji Cheng remembered that Shen Che said that the old tea set was more moist, and after being soaked in tea for a long time, it became spiritual.So under normal circumstances, Shen Che used old tea sets.

But tonight's tea set was made by Shen Che himself, it is said to commemorate the wedding.The camellia patterns float on the celadon porcelain, and there is a kind of elegance and timelessness in the simplicity. The camellias are painted in a wild and full of fun, without the artificiality of captive breeding, which is not something ordinary porcelain craftsmen can draw.

Ji Cheng thought that Shen Che was quite laid-back. She originally thought that he was too busy in the northwest, but she didn't expect that he would be so leisurely.

"As long as you want to do some things, you can always find some free time." Shen Che took a sip of tea from a new cup, "It's a pity that this year's Qingming Festival has passed, and next year we can pick tea again, drinking tea for so many years , or the one picked by Ah Cheng's jade hands is the most fragrant. The fragrance is far away."

Although this compliment was blatant, people like to hear good things, and Ji Cheng couldn't avoid being vulgar.

After drinking the opening tea, it was time for Ji Cheng to go to work, and then under Shen Che's guidance, she noticed the boxes piled up on the entire wall: "So many?!"

Shen Che replied: "There are still in the room below. I saw that I couldn't pile them up here, so I didn't bring them up. After you finish reading these, I will go get them."

Even Ji Cheng, who is as hardworking as Ji Cheng, still has some finger cramps: "Even if I haven't read it for three years, there shouldn't be so many accounts of the Western Regions alone, right?"

"That was in the past. We are husband and wife now, with one heart and one mind. Here is the account book of all my business dealings for this year. The books from the previous few years have also been shipped over for your reference." Shen Che said.

Ji Cheng looked at Shen Che speechlessly, she suddenly understood why Shen Che wanted to marry herself, and even understood why she wanted to kill him and he was willing to marry herself.

Because there is nothing more tormenting the enemy than exhausting her to death.

Ji Cheng wondered why he hadn't thought of such a good idea before?

The orange-yellow candles in the top courtyard before were gone, replaced by night pearls as bright as day, Ji Cheng felt a little regretful, and always felt that there was a lack of artistic conception.

The fist-sized luminous pearl is already a rare treasure in the world, but it is only suitable for use in grand palaces, but it is not suitable for this top courtyard paved with green wood and rushes.

Shen Che said as if he had learned mind-reading skills: "Looking at the accounts by candlelight hurts the eyes. It's better to use Ye Mingzhu, but it's not suitable to read them for a long time. You don't have to rush to read these accounts, just get familiar with them slowly."

Looking at the account book is much more comfortable than looking at Shen Che's face. At least the things on the account book are clear to Ji Cheng, and she can't hide anything from her. In her eyes, the tricks and fake accounts are just after removing makeup. The woman's face is full of spots.

While Ji Cheng was pulling the white jade abacus in his hand, Shen Che began to sleep with his head on the futon.

Ji Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but when her neck started to feel sore and she looked up at Shen Che who was sleeping soundly, her mind became unbalanced.She flicked the white jade beads under her fingers, and the abacus beads hit the abacus frame with a crisp sound, but Shen Che's reaction was just to move her eyelashes.

Ji Cheng's child's heart came up, his hands were on the abacus, and he moved it randomly again. Then Shen Che opened his eyes, looked out at the position of the moon, turned his head and said to Ji Cheng: "It's not too early, you go down!" Go to sleep." When Ji Cheng blinked, Shen Che stood up and added, "Let me take you down."

It was really just sending Ji Cheng down, the couple entered the main entrance together, and then Shen Che went up the secret passage.

Ji Cheng originally thought that Shen Che's last sentence had a different meaning, but she didn't break through the principle of pretending to be a fool to have a son, and she didn't even dare to laugh at it, so Shen Che left just like that.

If Ji Cheng was not stupid, he should have seen Shen Che's plan. Obviously, the second son of Shen didn't have the intention of taking the initiative to bridal, and he didn't know if his self-esteem was hit by the loss that day in the bridal chamber.

Ji Cheng bit his lip, Shen Che was simply an asshole.She thumped the mattress vigorously, thinking ruthlessly that since Shen Che is not worried about his son-in-law, why should she worry?
But the truth is, if you haven't been pregnant, everyone can't help but suspect women.

For example, when Ji Cheng went to pay his respects to the old lady the next morning, the old lady asked her about her body: "Is the problem that happened after you saved Brother Hong the last time, are you cured now?"

Ji Cheng said: "I've been taking medicine, the doctor said there's nothing serious about it, now I'll take some ginseng Yangrong pills."

The old lady nodded: "Physician Lin comes to take my pulse every month now, so please ask him to give you one by the way. This woman didn't pay attention when she was young, and she will regret it when she gets sick when she is old."

Ji Cheng nodded obediently, knowing that the old lady was in a hurry to hug her grandson and couldn't speak directly. She wished that Imperial Physician Lin would come to check her pulse today, so as to return her innocence. It wasn't that she was incompetent, but that Shen Che didn't act okay?
While talking, the second wife, Mrs. Huang, walked in. In the past two years, she has gained some weight, and she began to wipe her sweat as soon as she entered the door early in the morning.

"Hey, the weather is getting hot early in the morning." Mrs. Huang wiped the sweat from her forehead.

The old lady said: "Why are you here at this time?" The old lady is a relaxed person, and the three daughters-in-law don't need to get up early to say hello, after all they are all from the mother-in-law's generation, so the Huang family is usually at the Zhongyi uncle's house After dealing with the affairs of the day, I came to sit with the old lady when I was free in the middle of the noon.

Huang said: "It's so easy to look forward to Archer marrying a wife, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I brought all the books and cards from the mansion over the years, so that Archer's wife can get started as soon as possible."
