Chapter 195
After the little girl went in for a while, footsteps could be heard inside the door. Ji Cheng took a breath and was thinking about how to speak, but what came out was not Shen Che, but a charming, charming and charming half-aged mistress, 28 Nine years old.

Hua Gu is not that little girl, she has seen more people than the little girl has eaten salt, so she can tell at a glance that Ji Cheng is a girl. "What's the matter with this girl looking for the Second Young Master?"

Ji Cheng had already expected that Shen Che might not be willing to see him, so he was not discouraged: "I have something urgent to find the second son, please pass it on to me, Miss."

Hua Gu leaned against the door frame, and stretched lazily: "It's really funny. These days, people are robbing the door for business, and they don't even care about face."

Ji Cheng blushed, she didn't expect to be misunderstood by Hua Gu as such a woman, but she didn't bother to fight against Hua Gu, so she didn't have to belittle her own status, so she took out a 500 tael silver note from her cuff Pass it to Hua Gu: "Miss, can you let me in?"

Hua Gu laughed so hard that a flower branch trembled, she took the silver ticket from Ji Cheng's hand and said: "Second Young Master, I was right, he said girl, you just like to hit people with money, so I rushed out to see if I could Let's have some fun."

Ji Cheng's stomach was about to explode from Shen Che's anger, so he lifted his legs and walked inside.

Hua Gu stretched out her hand to block Ji Cheng and said, "What are you doing, Miss?"

Ji Cheng took a look at Hua Gu, didn't he do anything after the money was collected?
Hua Gu smiled and said: "It's not that I don't let the girl in, but I'm afraid that if the girl goes in, I'll lose face. The second son is doing his best. If the girl interferes with his good affairs, I'm afraid I won't get anything."

It took Ji Cheng a moment to understand what Hua Gu meant by "shuangli", his face turned pale, his legs could no longer move, he turned around and walked out.

Seeing Ji Cheng leave, Hua Gu thought she was going away in anger, but she saw her sitting on the stone bench under the camphor tree in the yard, staring at her nose, her nose at her mouth, and didn't move.

Hua Gu whispered to the little girl to keep a close eye, then turned around and entered the room.

Inside, Shen Che was playing chess with others, Hua Gu walked in lightly, knelt down and poured tea for the two of them, there was no trace of a coquettish slut on her face at this moment, she was so obedient that she didn't even dare to breathe, Especially the look on her forehead made her scalp tingle.

Fortunately, Shen Che's eyes quickly turned back to the chessboard, and Hua Gu dared to take a breath.

The rain had stopped for a while before, but now it started to fall again, still with Xuemozi in it, making people shiver with cold.Ji Cheng couldn't sit still anymore, although she wasn't that cold-afraid of the cold, her toes were numb from sitting outside in this weather, so she gathered the cloak around her shoulders, stood up and walked around to warm up.

Ji Cheng was rubbing his hands when he heard movement in the room, and after a while, Shen Che came out first. She was just about to go up to her, when she saw Shen Che step aside, and a middle-aged man with a square face and a beautiful beard walked behind him out.

Ji Cheng stayed where he was, just watching Shen Che lead the man all the way to the door. Ji Cheng had never seen Shen Che value a person so much. Although he didn't do anything special, he was always lazy. The wife has never been so attentive, and she sent it all the way to the door.

Ji Cheng secretly wondered about that person's background.

After Shen Che sent the man out through the back door, he turned around and walked to Ji Cheng's side.

Ji Cheng looked at Shen Che with a guilty conscience, after all, it was inappropriate for a married woman to come to this kind of place, if someone found out, the Shen family would lose face.

"Let's go." Shen Che said.

Hearing this, Ji Cheng silently followed Shen Che out the door.She looked at Shen Che's back, and then looked back at Hua Gu at the gate of Jingxiang Courtyard, knowing that what Hua Gu said just now was a lie to her, she was absurdly happy at this moment.Ordinarily, with her current mood, she would never be secretly happy.

But Ji Cheng's joy didn't last for a few moments, she saw Shen Che get on the horse.Ji Cheng came in a carriage, and it was impossible to catch up with Shen Che's horse. She trotted over anxiously, grabbed Shen Che's rein, and looked at Shen Che beggingly: "Mr.

When the matter came to an end, she forgot about any hesitation or dignity. Even Ji Cheng resisted the misunderstanding that Shen Che was having fun in there just now, and now he yelled "Mr. ".

Shen Che patted the displeased horse, then looked at Ji Cheng and said, "Go back first, I know what you are looking for me for."

Ji Cheng slowly let go of his hand in embarrassment, and just watched Shen Che leave.

When Ji Cheng returned to Jiuliyuan, Liu Ye'er hurriedly came up and asked, "Miss, have you seen your husband?"

Ji Cheng nodded, not in the mood to speak, he hurriedly finished his dinner, then rushed to Rui Yingtang and talked with the old lady for a while with a forced smile, before returning to Jiuliyuan.

Shen Che still didn't come back, Liu Ye'er managed to persuade her to go to bed.It's just that Ji Cheng couldn't sleep, he kept listening to the movement outside.

Ji Cheng listened more loudly, it was already midnight, and Shen Che hadn't come back yet.Ji Cheng waited for a while before he heard Nishang calling "Young Master".

Ji Cheng got up and ran out without even bothering to put on his shoes, and bumped into the arms of Shen Che who was coming in through the curtain.

If it wasn't for Shen Che's quick embrace, Ji Cheng would have been knocked back and fell to the ground.

"Are you so anxious to throw yourself into my arms, afraid that I won't help you, brother?" Shen Che's voice came from above Ji Cheng's head, and he put his hand on Ji Cheng's shoulder and gently pushed her away.

Just this one action made Ji Cheng feel ashamed, she stepped back in embarrassment, straightened her temple hair and lowered her head, "I'm going to change clothes."

Having said that, Ji Cheng stood still and didn't move. She didn't enter the Dongji room until Shen Che nodded. She was afraid that Shen Che would leave again if he was unhappy.

Ji Cheng was afraid that Shen Che would get impatient waiting, so he hurriedly wrapped up a robe, put on his shoes and socks, and went out. He saw Shen Che sitting on the kang by the south window, looking down at the clothes on his lap. hand, so that people can't really see his expression.

Ji Cheng walked lightly to the door, poked his head out to let Liu Ye'er, who had been guarding outside, make tea and bring it in.

Liu Ye'er hurriedly responded, supposedly it was time to make tea for Shen Che, but Liu Ye'er was afraid that if she went in and disturbed the two masters talking, it would be a great sin, so she kept lingering by the door.

After giving Liu Ye'er the order, Ji Cheng walked lightly and sat down opposite Shen Che, she didn't even have the courage to look directly at Shen Che, she just felt ashamed and ashamed: "You know everything about my elder brother?"

"I didn't know at first. But I can work for you to disguise yourself as a man and come to Jingxiangyuan to find me, and even swallow your anger at Huagu, I roughly guessed a little bit." Shen Che sarcastically said that he was not polite at all.

Ji Cheng closed his eyes before raising his head to look at Shen Che and said, "Can you help my elder brother?"

Shen Che raised his eyebrows and said: "The person you saw this afternoon is Zeng Yushi, he is the one who broke the imperial examination case, and the emperor ordered him to investigate the case."

Ji Cheng suddenly opened his eyes wide, "You already knew about my elder brother..."

Shen Che sneered, "I still know something about my own uncle. In order to win the polo match, you, the younger sister, could have been allowed to help him play. If Qiu Wei can pass the joint this time, he will let him go. ? With the financial resources of your Ji family, don’t you still need the money to buy joints?”

Hearing this, Ji Cheng felt his face burning hotly, and he was angry and ashamed, and couldn't help but feel sad.How could Shen Che look up to her natal family?But it's not his fault, after all, what his elder brother did was too contemptuous.

"I know it's too late to say anything now. I just ask you to help him. My father has been in poor health. If something happens to my elder brother this time, he will just..." Ji Cheng didn't dare to say the word "dead".Although the father and daughter had a quarrel over the matter of the aunt, and what Ji Qing said before was a little heartless, but it was Ji Cheng's father after all, and Ji Cheng also knew that her father didn't love her as a daughter, but loved her more. His son only.

There are not many people that Ji Cheng misses in this world, and she has no choice but to cherish the remaining people.

But then again, if it was placed on the previous Ji Cheng, I'm afraid she wouldn't feel so guilty about what happened to her elder brother.The profit of a businessman, her elder brother can easily get a job in exchange for a mere money, so she might support her elder brother to do such a cost-effective deal.

But for some reason, Ji Cheng can't do that kind of thing anymore.She subconsciously knew that Shen Che definitely didn't like her like that, and the matter of Su Yun was still on Shen Che's heart.Probably close to Zhu Zhechi, except for Sanfang, almost everyone in the Shen family behaved in an upright manner, which is why the Shen family can stand for a hundred years without falling down.

Now that Ji Cheng has become the wife of the eldest family, he unknowingly follows the Shen family's rules in everything he does, and rarely plots against others behind his back.Even Shen Cui, Li Rui and the like, she just laughed it off.

Shen Che looked at Ji Cheng who was begging and said, "What do you think I invited Mr. Zeng to dinner today? Ji Yuan is your eldest brother and my uncle. If something like this happens to him, the Shen family will not be ashamed." will shine."

Shen Che had already anticipated the mess in the Ji family, so it was not a lie to persuade Shen Yu at that time, but in the end, it was he himself who failed to resist the temptation.

Before meeting Shen Che, Ji Cheng had a lot of speculations in his mind, but he never thought that Shen Che was already helping her elder brother before she even spoke.

Ji Cheng felt extremely ashamed, grateful, moved, guilty, remorse, joy, all kinds of emotions came to his heart, and the circles of his eyes turned red involuntarily.

Ji Cheng opened his mouth to speak, but he heard footsteps by the door, it was Liu Ye'er bringing tea.Ji Cheng turned his face to the side, calmed down his emotions, and waited for Liu Ye'er to leave before turning around again.

"What did Sir Zeng say? Does he already have a list of candidates who passed the joint?" Ji Cheng asked.

Shen Che picked up the teacup, put aside the floating leaves on the surface, and after taking a sip of tea, he said slowly: "Not yet, tonight he will open the examination papers of all the candidates."

"Then what should we do now? Mr. Zeng..." Ji Cheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Shen Che lowered his eyelids and didn't look at Ji Cheng, as if the floating leaves were prettier than Ji Cheng: "Master Zeng is known for his honesty, otherwise the informer would not have given the evidence to his house. Do you want to give him the evidence?" Let’s stop with the idea of ​​stuffing money.”

"Then what should we do?" Ji Cheng asked.

Shen Che smiled, leaned towards Ji Cheng and said, "Don't tell me you have no plans in mind, if you don't, I'll go to bed."

Ji Cheng naturally had a plan. As early as last night, she had already thought of all the ways she could think of, but it was hard to say it.

But judging by Shen Che's appearance, if she didn't speak out, he would definitely not take the initiative to help.

Ji Cheng had no choice but to say cheekily: "You can only change out my eldest brother's exam papers before Master Zeng opens the seal, and you have to also change out the copied exam papers." Only in this way can future troubles be avoided forever.

Because there is evidence of buying joints on the test paper.Usually, bribing the examiner is to discuss with each other what to write on the page, line, and word of the examination paper. Generally, there are three to five joints. After coming out, it will be counted as the examination paper for the primary election, and finally the main examiner will determine the ranking.

Usually, in order to prevent favoritism and fraud, an examination paper has to be judged by several chief examiners. Therefore, once there is a case of favoritism and fraud in the imperial examination, it must be a major case, and all the chief examiners and examiners may be involved.

Zeng Yushi now knows what those joint words are, and by opening a pair of examination papers, he can find out which moves are used to buy joints.

Therefore, Ji Yuan's examination paper had to be replaced, and the speed had to be fast.

Today at Ji's house, Ji Cheng asked her brother to rewrite the exam paper from memory, and I don't know if he was kicked out.Ji Cheng knew that everything would be ruined if it was too late, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to Jingxiangyuan to look for Shen Che.

"Then how?" Shen Che asked.

"I've asked my elder brother to make a new copy of the exam papers." Ji Cheng said, "But there is no way to copy the copy." Because the imperial court also thought of many ways to deal with the fraud in the imperial examinations, they were afraid that the examiners would recognize the handwriting, so each candidate's exam paper They will be transcribed by someone specially, so that the examiner cannot tell which candidate's examination paper it is from the handwriting.

Shen Che said with a smile: "It's a threat if other people know about it, so I can only do it. But in this way, I got involved. I really don't know what will happen to me in the future if I help you like this." fate."

Shen Che's smile didn't reach his eyes, instead it brought out a lot of desolation, reminding people of the fact that he was poisoned by Ji Chengdu and was betrayed by Ji Cheng at the end.

Ji Cheng is so sensitive, he naturally understood the irony and coolness in Shen Che's words.She was silent for a moment, then raised her head to look at Shen Che again: "After this time, I have no face to stay in Shen's house anymore. I have committed the seven rules of disobedience to parents, childlessness, jealousy, and talking too much. "

This is just a superficial article, just to give Shen Che a decent reason to divorce his wife.

Ji Cheng stood up and took a step to the side, raised the corner of his skirt and knelt down towards Shen Che, saying, "From the very beginning, Ji Cheng has implicated you a lot, and Cheng's lack of morality and ignorance can't match a gentleman, I just hope that in the future, I won't drag you down. "Ji Cheng kowtowed his head to the ground as a farewell ceremony, "I know that Mr. Lang is not short of money, but Ji's family and Ji Cheng have nothing else. I just ask Mr. Lang to accept the shares of Longchang, and finally help my elder brother once."

The Longchang is the only hole card in Ji Cheng's hand.After losing the Longchang, Ji Cheng was really penniless and penniless, and that was the only confidence she had.

The person on the head didn't make a sound for a long time, Ji Cheng's head was still on the ground and he didn't dare to get up, and he didn't have the face to look up at Shen Che's face. It's her fault that the husband and wife have come to this point.

The silence was so long that Ji Cheng almost thought that Shen Che had fallen asleep, she turned her head slightly and saw Shen Che raised his hand and threw the teacup in his hand vigorously to the corner of the wall.

The force was so great that the sound of the teacup falling to the ground was almost like thunder.Ji Cheng fell back in fright, seeing the fragments splashed from the ground and flew towards her, it was too late to dodge, Ji Cheng could only close his eyes in resignation.

Everything was just a false alarm, the fragments didn't splash on Ji Cheng's face, as if hitting a wall of air, and then fell to the ground.

"It's not your fault, it's all mine, and I have to blame myself." Shen Che said sharply.

Ji Cheng was already overwhelmed by Shen Che's fright.She has known Shen Che for so many years, and she has never seen him speak so harshly. Most of the time, he looks at people lazily and with a mocking smile. When he is angry, he will behave milder than usual, and then play tricks behind his back It makes you cry for your father and mother.

And it was the first time that he could not control his rage like now.

Ji Cheng's back was tightly pressed against the wall of the kang, as if he wished he could get into the wall, and looked at Shen Che with a pale face.

Shen Che looked at Ji Cheng's terrified eyes, and after calming down, he couldn't help laughing at himself: "I never thought I would have today."

That tone was full of helplessness and sadness, Ji Cheng only felt sad when he heard it, but he didn't know what to do to comfort Shen Che.

"You're afraid that I'm right. If I don't stop you, I'm afraid that one day I can't help but kill you with my own hands." Shen Che said, "Get up, isn't it just money? No one will dislike the money, I don't dislike it even more. I accept the Longchang, and I will take care of Ji Yuan's affairs for you, which can be considered as a complete bond between our husband and wife, and we will be separated from now on."

Shen Che's sudden "reasonableness" made Ji Cheng even more ashamed.The word love hurts so much, so a cold person like her shouldn't have feelings, but instead hurt others and himself, Ji Cheng thought sadly, hearing the words "one part two lenient", she burst into tears. It just fell out.

"Sit down, you don't have to feel sorry for me." Shen Che's voice was as tired as an old man's, "I forced you back then, otherwise you would have lived together with your elder brother Ziyun by now. If you beat a mandarin duck with a club, you will take the blame. This is fine now, you can have lovers and get married at last."

Ji Cheng shook his head repeatedly, although she was not the eloquent person, she was usually eloquent, but now she couldn't utter a word, she just shook her head with sobs.
