Chapter 161 Uncompromising with each other (4)
Only then did Li Rui get down to business. It turned out that Ji Lan's birthday was coming, and because August was Qiu Wei again, Ji Lan didn't want to make a fuss, but this was Ji Lan's first birthday after Li Rui entered the house. The daughter-in-law couldn't help but care, so I came here to invite Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng responded immediately, and Li Rui smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law is still living comfortably, and the princess is such a worry-free mother-in-law. I heard that the second brother has found an errand in the Sifang Pavilion, and now he knows how to take care of the family." , Sister-in-law is really lucky."

Compared with Ji Cheng, Li Rui was indeed a little unbalanced.Ever since she had a quarrel with Shen Jing the day Ji Cheng came in, Shen Jing went back to Dongshan Academy to study, and didn't go home during the rest days. Her mother-in-law was the most busy, and she was so angry that she was getting old.Li Rui sighed and touched her face, she was two years younger than Ji Cheng, but her complexion was really not as good as others', she was rosy white, without any blemishes.

As soon as Li Rui walked away, Yu Qian'er began to discuss: "Girl, the words of the fourth young lady are really sour. I have inquired, her father is not up to date, and their house will not stand up in Zhongwuhou's house." Well, she didn't have any dowry when she married in, and she knew how to curry favor with the young mistress all day long. Turning around, she came to our house to be the uncle."

Ji Cheng took a look at Yu Qian'er: "Stop making up a master behind your back, and you're the only one who will break your mouth." Although Ji Cheng didn't know what Yu Qian'er said, she could guess Li Rui's previous situation.Ji Lan wanted to marry Li Hui as his daughter-in-law, but people looked down on such a mother-in-law, and Li Rui was born as a Zhongwuhou but married into the third wife of the Shen family, so many things can be inferred.

Ji Lan's birthday was a family banquet held in Tiexian Hutong Mansion. Li Rui invited all the masters of each house, even the old lady, and invited a group of jugglers to join in the fun.

It's just that when everyone is here, Shen Cui doesn't come back. It's her mother's birthday.It was almost time for lunch, only to see Shen Cui rushing in, without saying any auspicious words to celebrate his birthday as soon as he entered the door, he knelt down in front of the old lady with a plop, and began to wipe away his tears.

Fortunately, it was her mother's birthday, if it was someone else, Shen Cui might have to slap Shen Cui first.The day of great joy is a bad day.

"What's the matter?" The old lady hurriedly said, "Get up quickly, what a beautiful day, why are you crying?"

No one else moved, so Ji Cheng had no choice but to take a step forward to help Shen Cui up.Shen Cui's popularity doesn't know why, even Shen Xian was offended.

Shen Cui shook Ji Cheng's hand first, Ji Cheng was about to let go, but Shen Cui was smarter than before, she didn't dare to be hypocritical, and stood up.

When Ji Cheng heard Shen Cui crying and wiping away his tears, he realized that Qi Zheng's cousin was pregnant. Shen Cui clamored to abort the child, but the Qi family naturally disagreed.This morning, Shen Cui made a big fuss at Qi's house, and now he brought a carload of belongings home, as if he meant to stay for a long time.

"If the child is not taken away, I will not go back, and I will make peace with him." Shen Cui shouted.

Everyone looked indifferent, as if they were familiar with it.Ji Cheng hasn't been here for the past three years, so I don't know. It's not the first time Shen Cui has made a fuss like this. Shen Cui had already made a fuss when Qi Zhengna accepted his cousin, and it ended in nothing.

It's not that the Shen family didn't support her, but that Shen Cui obediently went back after being coaxed by Qi Zheng, saying that she couldn't take advantage of that little vixen.

In this way, who would dare to help her?In the end, I was still not a human being inside and outside.

"Your child, that is a life. Since you are pregnant, there is no reason to kill it." The old lady set the tone with one sentence.She understood that Qi Zheng's mother was going to die, and she finally had a grandson, so how could she let go.

Ji Lan stretched out her finger and poked Shen Cui's forehead fiercely: "What are you eating, Bizi Tang?"

Shen Cui sobbed and said, "Stop."

"You agree?" Ji Lan asked again.

Shen Cui stopped talking, and cried, "Qi Zheng lied to me." She said that it was because of avoiding Zitang's injury, so she stopped the concubine's medicine, coaxed her to play tricks all night, and only said that even if she went to the concubine The concubine's room also doesn't know how to do things, and the cousin was pregnant in less than two or three months after saying this.

"Old Ancestor, what do you think we should do about this matter?" Ji Lan looked at the old lady begging for help. She was usually a little rough, but when she encountered a difficult problem, she had to ask the old lady for advice.

The old lady closed her eyes, opened them again, and said, "Since Ah Cui agreed, there is no reason to make such a fuss. If you want to, you can just wait for the concubine to give birth to the child and bring it under your lap. If you don't want to , then take care of yourself and get pregnant quickly."

It's a pity that Shen Cui's temperament can't tolerate a son born to a concubine, especially the son of that charming cousin, but she doesn't have the ability to conceive by herself, so she took a lot of medicine, but it didn't work at all.

After Shen Cui made such a fuss, everyone was no longer interested in joining in the fun.It's just that the family banquet in the evening has been arranged long ago, and the Grand Duke also invited it. Shen Jing is also coming back from Dongshan Academy, so the dinner will still be held as usual.

For the first time today, Shen Che went back to Jiuliyuan before having dinner.Just as Ji Cheng changed her clothes, Liu Ye'er was arranging her dresses, and brought jade pendants, purses, etc. for her to choose.

Shen Che walked over to choose a melon-shaped pouch from the black lacquer and gold-painted crabapple tray, walked up to Ji Cheng and stretched out his hand to put it on for her.

After what happened this morning, Ji Cheng was very unaccustomed to being so close to Shen Che, she turned sideways and said, "The dinner party will start soon, ask Liu Ye'er to wait for you to change your clothes first."

Shen Che put on the purse for Ji Cheng, took a step back, looked at it for a while and continued to adjust it so that it wouldn't be worn crookedly, but he said to Liu Ye'er: "You go down first. Ask Nishang to make a pot of tea. "

It was only after hearing this that Ji Cheng noticed a bruise under Shen Che's eyes: "How long have you not slept?"

Shen Che chose a Pisces jade for Ji Cheng to wear again: "For three days, I just lay on your bed for a while this morning." Originally, I wanted to take a nap, but I lay on my side on the bed and looked at Ji Cheng's sleeping face. I don't know the time. It passed without realizing it, and there was still no rest.

"Is the matter in the northwest bothering you?" When Shen Che began to undress and change his clothes, Ji Cheng unknowingly reached out and took over his work.

Shen Che raised his hands to cooperate with Ji Cheng's movements: "There will be a big battle before the Central Plains can rest for a few years."

Ji Cheng took off his outer robe for Shen Che and then withdrew his hands. Shen Che said dissatisfiedly, "Aren't you taking off your pants?"

Originally, he was talking about serious things, but Ji Cheng thought about Shen Che's concern for the country and the people, and he slightly changed his opinion of him, but he didn't know that if he gave a little color, this person would start to be unserious.

It's just that Ji Cheng can't let Shen Che succeed in teasing her, otherwise this person will get worse. She saw a pair of scissors in the sewing basket on the table not far away, so she picked it up.

Shen Che chuckled lightly.

Ji Cheng said angrily: "Why are you laughing? Can't I take off my pants without hands? Here, take them and cut them." Ji Cheng reached out and handed the scissors over, but on the way, her eyes caught Shen Che's gradual bulge. pants.

Shen Che laughed out loud, he didn't seem to be ashamed at all, but Ji Cheng was so ashamed that he turned around immediately.When she heard footsteps, Shen Che had already entered the clean room, and said a word: "Bring me a set of robes."

Ji Cheng opened the closet where Shen Che's clothes were stored, and at a glance, he saw that there was a dark purple swastika butterfly pattern robe in the pink ground, which was exactly the same texture and pattern as her pink dress.

Ji Cheng has never seen Shen Che wearing pink clothes, and rarely sees men wearing pink robes. She probably looks like an actor in them. She slowly took out the pink robes and asked her to choose. Of course she chose what she liked. yes.

Ji Cheng prepared the robe, the white silk jacket and trousers he was wearing inside, and called Liu Ye'er to come in: "Take it to the clean room and give it to the gentleman."

Liu Ye'er didn't move.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional or all kinds of coincidences, after Ji Cheng came in, Shen Che bathed and washed himself, and did not borrow the hands of the girl.

At this moment Ji Cheng suddenly asked Liu Ye'er to go to the clean room, she was naturally taken aback, thinking too much.

In fact, Ji Cheng didn't think deeply about it at the moment. She didn't want to send Shen Che's clothes in. She was afraid of seeing something she shouldn't see, but she was also afraid that he would walk out naked without shame. Call Liu Ye'er to come in.

But when Ji Cheng saw Liu Yeer not moving, he immediately reacted.

Liu Yeer knelt down in front of Ji Cheng with a plop, kowtowed her head and said, "Girl, this slave would rather not marry for the rest of her life and serve the girl."

What else could Ji Cheng not understand, she secretly praised Liu Ye'er's good eyesight, she was right if she didn't fall in love with Shen Che, she really deserved to be her girl.

"Get up." Ji Cheng helped Liu Ye'er up, "Can't you say something well? You only kneeled down when you saw me for the first time."

Liu Ye'er blushed and muttered, "Girl, slave..."

Ji Cheng waved his hands and smiled: "I thought it would be good for us to be together for a long time, and it wouldn't delay your marriage and childbirth. That's why I have such considerations. But since you don't have such intentions, don't tell me your girl is something I can't do for you." people?"

Since it is inconvenient for Liu Ye'er to go in and deliver clothes now, Ji Cheng had no choice but to focus on Nishang.

Who knew that the neon clothes were even better than Liu Ye'er, so he said respectfully: "Young Mistress, you never let your servants serve in the clean room."

Ji Cheng held his breath in his chest and had nothing to say.

Afraid that Ji Cheng would not believe it, Nishang added: "Young master went to practice with his master in the mountains when he was young, and after he came back, he has always done his own affairs, and the slaves and maidservants at most just wait for the young master to change his shoes and socks."

Ji Cheng lowered her eyelids. In fact, she should be aware of this, because Shen Che cleaned up everything by himself, and he had to clean it up for her. Like a woman tidying up.

After Nishang and Liu Ye'er left, Ji Cheng, as his wife, had to carry Shen Che's clothes to clean the room.

The clean room was quiet, and there was no scene that Ji Cheng was afraid of, such as Shen Che teasing her shamelessly but did not actually take any action.

Shen Che seemed to be asleep, with his head leaning slightly on the jade pillow by the pool.

Ji Cheng unconsciously lightened his steps, and put Shen Che's clothes on the stool next to him without a sound, and was about to turn around and leave when he heard Shen Che softly calling, "Ah Cheng."

Ji Cheng turned his head and met Shen Che's eyes. He kept his sleeping position unchanged, but opened his eyes and just looked at her like that.

That look inexplicably made Ji Cheng's heart weak, and she said "Hurry up, you're going to be late" as if fleeing from famine, and walked out quickly.

After Ji Cheng went out, he shook his head, thinking that he must be dazzled, but he could see the meaning of begging in Shen Che's eyes.

Soon there was movement behind him, Shen Che put on clothes much faster than a woman: "Help me re-tie my hair."

Ji Cheng took a deep breath before turning around to look at Shen Che, who was wearing that pink robe.

It didn't smell like an actor's makeup at all, but she wore an indescribable beauty, like a person in a painting, and the pink made him almost immortal.Being born well is really an advantage. No matter what you wear, there are only two differences between good-looking and prettier.

Ji Cheng watched Shen Che sit down in front of her dowry, she curled her lips inwardly, thinking about whether to ask Nishang to come in, but she also felt that it was a pity that Shen Che hadn't slept for three days, and couldn't bear to sing against him.

Ji Cheng walked behind Shen Che, untied the jade crown that tied his hair for him, and tied his hair up again with a comb.This man's hair is very smooth, soft and warm like fox fur. Touching this hair, one can't imagine that he is the kind of cruel, tyrannical and domineering person.

"The craftsmanship is good. From now on, Mrs. Lao will tie my hair for me." Shen Che squeezed Ji Cheng's palm and stood up, before Ji Cheng could speak, he concluded his statement, "Let's go, isn't it said that it's going to be late?"
