Colorful

Chapter 194
However, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was originally an opportunity for Ji Cheng and Shen Che to reconcile, they danced and drummed, and cooperated seamlessly.Ji Cheng had to admit that if Shen Che's drumbeat hadn't forced her, she wouldn't have been able to perform so well.

Even she herself didn't know that she could dance the sword to such an extent that she looked like a sword master, but she didn't have internal strength, so she couldn't be regarded as a martial arts master.She has seen Shen Che dance with a sword. When he demonstrated to her, just by moving his wrist, the sword glowed like a galaxy.Ji Cheng had to move Qingxue's sword with the help of body movements, so that he could barely simulate that effect.

But in the heart of Ji Cheng who was dominated by emotion, she only felt aggrieved.He hated Shen Che for being promiscuous, and actually provoked the princess of Nanzhao to come and humiliate her. If she hadn't happened to be able to sword dance, after tonight, she might be the one who would be criticized and belittled, and the princess of Nanzhao would be even more arrogant.

Today there is a princess of Nanzhao, but tomorrow there is no guarantee that there will be no princess of Xijing.If Ji Cheng can handle this, can he handle that?

Shen Che and Ji Cheng returned to Woyun Hall side by side. Ji Cheng lowered his head and neither of them said a word. This was the first time Shen Che stepped into Woyun Hall in the past few months after they had an argument with Ji Cheng.

Even Liu Ye'er knew that Mr. Lang had given in, and gave Ji Cheng winks again and again.

Ji Cheng pretended not to see it, she looked up and saw Shen Che looking at her without blinking.Neither of them would speak first.

The cold war between them this time started because of Ji Cheng, she was the one who betrayed her first.During that time, Ji Cheng was full of regrets, even if Shen Che told her to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, Ji Cheng might be as subdued as today's Princess Taotao.

But the human heart is a very selfish thing, they have already missed the best time for reconciliation.

Shen Che's heart has been chilled by waiting these few months, or not just these few months, but those few days in the grassland, when he waited for Ji Cheng to appear in the barracks of the Beibei Army, he was already completely chilled up.

Shen Che didn't care that Ji Cheng saved Ling Ziyun, if Ji Cheng could watch Ling Ziyun die in front of her, then Shen Che would reassess her as a person.

Shen Che was just waiting for Ji Cheng to say something to him.

But Ji Cheng made the worst decision at that time.

The human heart is both tough and fragile. When it is tough, it can wait for 18 years with a warm word and a belief. When it is weak, it can be broken like glass just by turning around.

But for Ji Cheng, the longer this matter dragged on, the less she could say an apology, and all confessions became untimely afterthoughts.

She secretly hoped that even if Shen Che gave her a soft look, she would be encouraged to express all the feelings in her heart.

But Ji Cheng also waited for a long time, until she was sick in bed, almost died of pain, and Shen Che was nowhere to be seen.She thought that Shen Che had already broken his heart, so what's the point of saying something or not?
You can see that the debtor eventually blames the creditor, hating him for making himself in debt.

There are many people in the world who are endowed with enemies.

The hearts of both of them were cold, and they could no longer think about the good when they were in trouble, and they were holding a breath in their hearts, deeply hating each other's ruthlessness.

Originally, these two people could be a pair of gods and couples that everyone envied, but because of their respective temperaments and various obstacles, they went farther and farther.

After all, Shen Che did not stay in Woyuntang.Liu Ye'er looked at Ji Cheng with hatred: "My young mistress, I think Mr. Lang just wanted to stay. As long as you are willing to say a word, he will not leave. What a great opportunity, you Why didn't you catch it?"

Ji Cheng was silent.

Liu Ye'er said: "Girl, I know that you are still angry in your heart. You are angry that Mr. Lang has neglected you for so long, and you are angry that he is promiscuous, but you are also wrong. Which man can tolerate his wife being treated so coldly? Mr. Lang has already Have the heart to seek peace, young mistress, if you continue to act like this, the man's heart will become iron sooner or later."

Liu Yeer is a really sensible person, but she is also an outsider.

When Ji Cheng was on the outside, she was calmer and more rational than Liu Ye'er. She could explain the truth in a consistent way, and she was more able to understand people's hearts than Liu Ye'er, but it was her turn to be the one in the game. At that time, everything is useless.

After being told by Liu Ye'er, Ji Cheng threw his hands on the table with his elbows folded, resting his head on his arms, and said annoyedly, "Stop talking, I'm bothered."

It was rare for Liu Ye'er to see Ji Cheng being so self-willed as a child, so she slowed down her voice and said, "Young mistress is so many times smarter than my servant, young mistress must be able to think of things that my servant can think of, it's my servant who is talking too much."

They all claim to be slaves, so it can be seen that Liu Ye'er has also lost her temper.

Ji Cheng sighed and said, "I know you are doing it for my own good, I am not bothering you, Liu Ye'er, I am bothering myself."

Ji Cheng is annoyed that she can't advance or retreat.She wanted to go further, but her strong temper and obsessive-compulsive disorder for perfect feelings made her hold back.Get back, she doesn't have the courage to reconcile, so she's tired of herself.

No wonder Shen Che bothered her, right?Ji Cheng couldn't help thinking of the locked door of the secret passage, and the firewood door leading to the top courtyard.

Shen Che's refusal is vivid in his memory, Ji Cheng is really afraid that he has received the wrong love.With Princess Taotao's arrogant appearance, it's normal for Shen Che to look down on her, so he let her go.

What if this person is replaced by Fang Xuan?
Fang Xuan, who may never appear in front of Ji Cheng again in this life, will not disappear from Shen Che's heart just because she left.

Ji Cheng twisted his ears angrily, and just lived his life, why are you so picky?What does it matter if Shen Che is thinking about Fang Xuan?Anyway, it was impossible for Fang Xuan to enter the door.Besides, so what if Shen Che takes a concubine?She is still a regular wife, with the dignity of a regular wife.

But which emotional person can not be greedy?Want to occupy this person's whole body and mind?

Liu Ye'er looked at Ji Cheng motionlessly and said, "Girl, you are not young anymore. Although the ancestor never said anything, you can see how much she likes Miss Yu so much, you know how much she hopes you can give Lang Jun a child!"

It really is a pot that cannot be opened without mentioning.

Ji Cheng said angrily: "I know, I will think about it in the next few days." Ji Cheng just needs a little time to get over the barrier in his heart, and when he doesn't care so much about his relationship, many problems can be solved easily.

But Ji Cheng didn't get much time to think.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is Qiuwei, and when the chrysanthemums are in full bloom in September, it is the time for the provincial examination to make the list.This time Ji Yuan finally got his wish and passed the Juren examination.Although you are not yet a Jinshi, you can be awarded an official if you are admitted to the imperial examination.Of course, the path to promotion is not as smooth as Jinshi, and it will be discriminated against by Jinshi colleagues.Non-Jinshi is not regarded as an official official, but it is really rare for most people.

Ji Yuan had a big banquet in Lanhua Lane, and Ji Qing rushed to the capital to congratulate his son.The Ji family has finally produced a scholar, even if he fails in the examination next spring, Ji Yuan can still get a lot of money by taking advantage of the Shen family's in-laws to go through the back door.

Just when he was in high spirits, he was surprised to hear that there was a thunderstorm. It turned out that there was a student who had failed in the examination.In addition, Ge Song's two sons were ordered to take the exam by Zhongshu, and both of them passed the exam, which also made people suspicious.

But the suspicion is the suspicion, how can ordinary people dare to challenge the court, and there is no real evidence that the examiner is favoritism.

However, the Skynet was not leaking. In late September, the imperial court suddenly raised a major imperial examination case. It turned out that someone secretly reported that the chief examiner, Zhang Xueshi, joined forces with other examiners for personal gain, and revealed many students who bribed their joints. Lift the person.

Emperor Jianping was furious. The imperial examination was a grand ceremony for talents in the Great Qin Dynasty. If even the imperial examination was practiced for personal gain, the world would be in danger. He ordered a thorough investigation and severe punishment.

Ji Cheng had just closed his eyes and fell asleep at night when he saw Liu Ye'er hurried in and whispered something in her ear.

Ji Cheng frowned and said, "Tell Steward Mo that I will go back early tomorrow morning. If I go back to Lanhua Lane so late, it will make people suspicious."

After Liu Ye'er left, Ji Cheng sat up, his heart sank to the bottom.The imperial examination case has already reached the sky, so Ji Cheng naturally knew the news from Shen's house earlier, she secretly prayed that her elder brother would not do anything stupid, but in the end she was really afraid that something would happen, Ji Yuan asked Steward Mo to come to see him at such a late hour. Can there be something else?

Ji Cheng got up early in the morning, told the old lady that his sister-in-law was seriously ill, and took a carriage to Lanhua Lane.

As soon as Ji Cheng entered, Fan Zengli cried and knelt down in front of Ji Cheng, holding her leg and crying, "Ah Cheng, you must save your brother this time..."

Ji Cheng gasped, and the last trace of luck in his heart disappeared without a trace.At the beginning, she felt that her elder brother was too eager to study so much that she didn't even care about her body. She, the younger sister, tried to persuade her, but Fan Zengli stopped her back, but now it was too late to regret.

"Why is brother so confused?" Ji Cheng's tears followed.

Originally, she was looked down upon by others, and Ji Cheng's situation in Shen's family was also difficult. Shen Che didn't like her background, nor did she look down on many of her ways of doing things. Although he didn't say it clearly, Ji Cheng had already been ridiculed by him. Been countless times.

Now that there is another incident about Ji Yuan's purchase of a joint Zhongju, not only Ji Yuan will be ruined from now on, but Ji Cheng will never be able to hold his head up again in the Shen family.

Although Ji Qing sat aside and did not speak but sighed repeatedly, his temples turned white in just one day and night, and he looked very old.

Ji Cheng felt distressed when he saw it, and Ji Cheng knew best how much her father expected of her elder brother Ji Yuan.Ji Qing's health was getting worse day by day, after this blow, Ji Cheng was really afraid that he would not be able to take it.

As soon as Ji Cheng cried, Ji Yuan also cried: "Yes, it's all because the elder brother is confused. Ah Cheng, you must help the elder brother this time. Who am I doing this for? It's not for our Ji family, but for you Can the family feel proud?"

Ji Cheng didn't speak, just kept crying, as if he wanted to cry all the tears he had borne all his life.

Who dares to help in such a case?Who can help?Ji Cheng had been thinking about it all night last night, even Zhong Shuling couldn't protect himself, who could stand out?
Ji Cheng's father-in-law is a man who doesn't ask questions about everything, and his second uncle Shen Xiuyuan is in the western borders and is also a warrior. Although Shen Ying is an official in the court, it is not an important position, but at this moment he must be wise and protect his life.

Neither Shen Yu nor Shen Jing could help.

Only one person, if he is willing to help, can save her brother.It's a pity that the two are in the same situation now, Ji Cheng doubts whether Shen Che will nod.

How could Ji Cheng talk to him about such an embarrassing thing?I'm afraid he will look down on her even more in the future, right?On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, they had a chance to reconcile, but Ji Cheng told him to go back to the Dingyuan with a cold face, and now he wanted to beg him for help servilely, just thinking about it, Ji Cheng wished he could die.

"Okay, don't cry." Ji Qing knocked the shisha pipe on the table, "Ah Cheng, you have always been the most intelligent and decisive, you should know that if your elder brother is not well, you will not be well. I Leave the words here, if you can help your elder brother this time, I will give you half of the property of the Ji family."

At this time, Ji Cheng seems to have become the role of Ji Lan back then.

Ji Cheng smiled miserably: "Father, if I can help elder brother, there's no need for you to say it. I don't want money from the Ji family, and I will do my best for elder brother's affairs."

But in Ji Qing's eyes, if Ji Cheng doesn't take money, he is unwilling to do things seriously. It's not that he thinks Ji Cheng doesn't care about family, it's just that people like them are used to thinking like this.If it were Ji Cheng herself, she would think the same way.

Ji Qing said: "Okay. Ah Cheng, help your elder brother. If you can't help your elder brother, our Ji family, our Ji family will treat it as if we don't have you as a daughter, and I will treat it as if I never raised you."

When Ji Cheng walked outside the mountain gate of Jiuliyuan, there was another autumn rain in the sky, and there were snow spots in the rain, making people shiver with cold.

Ji Cheng lingered and looked up at the overlapping courtyards of Jiuliyuan. Even if she helped Ji Yuan this time, she doubted whether the Ji family would recognize her as a daughter?I'm afraid I won't be able to help them anymore in the future, and I can only treat it as a father-daughter relationship and repay the kindness of nurturing them for many years.

"Why is young mistress standing here in the cold? Hurry up and go in." Liu Ye'er opened an umbrella to welcome Ji Cheng, and complained to Yu Qian'er, "How do you serve young mistress? The older you are, the less you pay attention. If you catch a cold How did you get it?"

Yuqian'er said in an aggrieved low voice: "Young Mistress said to stand for a while."

Liu Ye'er ignored Yu Qian'er's words: "Go up first and cook a bowl of ginger syrup for the young lady to drive away the cold air."

Yu Qian'er responded, and quickly ran away in the rain.

Because of the terrain, there is no earth dragon in Jiuliyuan, Ji Cheng sneezed as soon as he entered the room, Liu Ye'er hurriedly said: "Young Mistress is upset, why bother to humiliate yourself like this? If you are willing to be soft, Mr. Now I don’t even go back to the mansion.”

Ji Cheng didn't tell Liu Ye'er about the Ji family's affairs, even Yu Qian'er kept it a secret, naturally the fewer people know about such things, the better.So Liu Ye'er thought that Ji Cheng was unhappy because of Shen Che's not returning home for a month.

"The last time Young Mistress said to think about it for a few days, it's been another month." Liu Ye'er complained, she was really worried for Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng was silent for a while.

Only then did Liu Ye'er see that something was wrong, because she asked: "Young Mistress, what's the matter? But what happened, that your face looks so ugly?" At first Liu Ye'er thought that Ji Cheng was cold, so his face was ugly. It was only after a while that she realized that she had something on her mind.

When Yu Qian'er came in with ginger syrup, Ji Cheng held the bowl and drank a big sip. Only then did he stop the chill that was surging up in his body. She thought that even if she really wanted to bring Shen Che back, Shen Che probably wouldn't. Believe she is sincere.

Ji Cheng sadly found that she had come to the worst situation, even if she had bowed her head to Shen Che earlier, it would not be so bad.

How could Shen Che forgive her again?He must have thought that she was subdued to him because of her brother's affairs. She couldn't express her feelings anymore, and even she herself didn't believe that she was sincere.

If Ji Cheng still had a chance before this, then there is no chance after that.

What is life without love?Ji Cheng can be considered to understand.

At the end of separation and reunion, Ji Cheng originally thought that the worst outcome would be her leaving, but at least she could leave with a straight back, and now she probably can only be like a bereaved dog.

Ji Cheng didn't dare to blink, for fear that the teardrops would fall if he blinked.

"Yu Qian'er, go and find out where Lang Jun is at the moment?" Ji Cheng's voice was a little hoarse.

Yu Qian'er looked at Ji Cheng in astonishment, wondering why her young mistress had found her husband, how many months had passed, and the two ignored each other, and Ji Cheng never took the initiative to inquire about Shen Che's whereabouts.

"Hurry up, why are you so dazed?" Liu Ye'er called back Yu Qian'er who was distracted.

Yu Qian'er let out an "oh" and hurried out.

Liu Ye'er said: "Young mistress has figured it out, that's right. If you are so stubborn, you will only make those women outside proud."

Ji Cheng twitched the corners of his lips, but he couldn't smile.

Others might not be able to find out about Shen Che's whereabouts, but because of his relationship with the big black man, Yuqianer finally managed to find out after spending a lot of effort and being stolen countless kisses.

But when reporting back to Ji Cheng, Yu Qian'er didn't know what to say or not.

Ji Cheng looked at Yu Qian'er who was hesitant to speak, and said, "Tell me, now is not the time to be jealous."

Ji Cheng found Shen Che in the Jingxiangyuan.

Ji Cheng, a woman like Jingxiangyuan, naturally cannot enter, but she has already changed into men's clothes when she went out.

Ji Cheng had seen this kind of fireworks place before when her second brother pretended to be a servant when he was addicted to meat, but this was the first time he had visited such a place in the capital.

At this moment, Ji Cheng was naturally not in the mood to browse around to satisfy her curiosity, she straightened her clothes and said to the girl who was guarding the door of the upper room: "Miss, please send a message and tell Second Young Master Ji of Jin to see you."

The little girl accepted the purse that Ji Cheng handed over, the handsome gentleman in front of her was generous and polite, she was not willing to make things difficult for him, she said pretty and authentically: "Wait." After speaking, she twisted her waist and went in.
