Colorful

Chapter 202
Ji Cheng looked sideways at Shen Che and said, "It's incredible that there are such henpecked men in the world." Ji Cheng stared at Shen Che's ears with sparkling eyes, and Shen Che raised his hand to cover his ears and said: "Don't bother with me."

Ji Cheng attacked Shen Che's ear that was not covered on the other side with lightning speed, but unexpectedly, she really pinched it.Ji Cheng also knew that this was Shen Che's intention to make himself happy, so he imitated that Ninth Lady with one hand on her hip and said to Shen Che, "If you make me angry in the future, I will punish you for holding up the lamp."

"No problem, I can show you the lights when I go back tonight. It's definitely better than him." Shen Che said with a smile, "I don't know what rewards the lady has? If there are many rewards, the younger ones can work harder some."

Ji Cheng blushed, spat on Shen Che, turned his head and pretended to concentrate on watching the play, and ignored him again.

After the play, Shen Che wanted to take Ji Cheng to the newly opened Yulouchun restaurant in the capital for dinner. The two were talking and laughing as they walked out, but when they went down the stairs, they happened to meet a man and a woman approaching.

The man had a fat head and big ears, with a prime minister's belly, but the woman was petite and exquisite, as beautiful as a flower, and when she saw Shen Che, her watery eyes seemed to start to cry.

Ji Cheng felt familiar, and after thinking for a long time, she remembered that the woman seemed to be the one she and Shen Xun had bumped into at the Dragon Boat Festival a few years ago, and she was Shen Che's former confidante—the little widow Wang Liniang.

The old lover was naturally tearful when they met, before Ji Cheng had time to express anything, Shen Che raised his hand to help her put down the curtain on the veiled hat, now Ji Cheng could only see in a haze that's it.

Wang Liniang bit her lip and looked at Shen Che without moving. She had fantasized about meeting Shen Che many times, but she never saw this scene before her.

In fact, Wang Liniang saw Shen Che just now. She and the prime minister next to her were sitting in the box diagonally opposite Shen Che. She couldn't believe that Shen Che didn't see her, but his eyes just passed by casually, like The two never knew each other.

Wang Liniang was so jealous that her heart ached, and she was so sore that she wished she could cry.Later, when she saw Shen Che bowing his head and allowing the woman beside him to pinch his ears, Wang Liniang suddenly realized that even the superior person in her heart was willing to bow his head sometimes.

As usual, Shen Che's gaze just passed over Wang Liniang, and then he took Ji Cheng's hand and went downstairs.

Wang Liniang followed Shen Che's footsteps for two steps, then stopped slowly, tears streaming down her cheeks.But the prime minister next to her was really capable of boating, so he whispered: "Let's go."

Wang Liniang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and then followed silently.

Yulouchun's unique skill is boiled mutton, so Ji Cheng naturally didn't have to do it, Shen Che boiled it for her and put it in a bowl, so he almost fed it to her.

While eating the boiled mutton, Ji Cheng stared at Shen Che who was cooking the meat, but when Shen Che turned his head to look at her, she turned away quickly, and so on.

Shen Che pretended that he didn't notice Ji Cheng's strangeness, and added a little sesame sauce to Ji Cheng's bowl, and said, "The hot-boiled mutton here is better than the knives, and the taste of the sauce is just mediocre. When spring opens next year, Let's go to Sanhaoju, use the sheep on the mountain, I will cut it, and you will make the sauce."

Ji Cheng responded irresolutely.

Putting down his chopsticks, Shen Che restrained his smile and said, "Ah Cheng, if you have something in your heart, just say it. What's the point of us guessing at each other? It will add to the misunderstanding. Isn't the lesson we have learned this time not enough?"

Ji Cheng muttered, "I won't tell, you can still see what I'm thinking."

Shen Che smiled helplessly and said: "You are really hard to serve. It is said that the king's mind is unpredictable, and I think our family's Ah Cheng's mind is even more unpredictable. You never said it yourself, and you still don't allow me to guess, how overbearing?"

Ji Cheng said: "How embarrassing is it that you still say it after you guessed it?" Ji Cheng also put down his chopsticks and said, "Sometimes it's okay to pretend to be stupid properly?"

Shen Che touched his nose and said, "I think it's better to be open and honest."

Ji Cheng turned his head away to ignore Shen Che, some thoughts were really hard to express, especially to Shen Che.In fact, Ji Cheng felt ashamed of his narrow-mindedness, and knew that he was wrong.

Shen Che leaned over and said, "Are you angry about Wang Liniang's matter?"

Only then did Ji Cheng realize that the little widow was called Wang Liniang.She moved aside, ignoring Shen Che.

Shen Che laughed and said: "What kind of jealousy are you eating? I have nothing against her. Besides, how many years ago did that happen?"

Ji Cheng said in a muffled voice: "I'm not jealous." She was indeed not jealous, Wang Liniang was just a pastime to Shen Che in his spare time, Ji Cheng didn't care about her at all.

Just when Ji Cheng saw Shen Che's indifference towards Wang Liniang, he suddenly thought that if she and Shen Che parted ways this time, would Shen Che think she would be so indifferent?Most of the time, it's just a difference of thought, which makes Ji Cheng himself not sure how thin the boundary between love and hate is.

Shen Che's kindness to her did not make Ji Cheng feel safe, not to mention that Shen Che also accepted the Longchang, now that Ji Cheng is penniless, he feels even less safe.

"Don't you have a jealous expression?" Shen Che bit Ji Cheng's ear and asked.

Ji Cheng gently pushed Shen Che away and said, "I'm not jealous, I just think you're a little too hard on her."

Shen Che was slightly angry in his heart, and Ji Cheng felt as if the rabbit died and the fox was sad, so where did he put his mind?Shen Che wanted to be indifferent to Ji Cheng, but he also knew that he must be the one who bowed his head in the end, but don't make her body angry, he is not the one who loves him the most.

So Shen Che could only laugh and said: "Then if I flirt with her in front of you, will you feel better?"

Ji Cheng herself couldn't help being funny, she thought that Shen Che would be angry when he heard her words, but this man's temper was unexpectedly good.Ji Cheng shook his head and said frankly: "No, I will only feel more uncomfortable."

Shen Che pointed Ji Cheng's cheek with his finger and said, "It's for her benefit that I treat her coldly. If I don't know clearly, I'm misleading others and myself."

Ji Cheng propped his chin on his hands and looked at the steaming mutton pot, without looking at Shen Che, he said: "I just couldn't help changing myself to her just now, if we... a few days ago... I thought you were right to me It’s not going to be like that.”

While talking, Ji Cheng shook his head and laughed, "I actually know that I'm thinking too much."

Shen Che surrounded Ji Cheng from behind and said, "Your assumption is not valid. But even if you follow your assumption, I will not treat you like that. If I catch you going out to watch a show with another man, I will definitely kill you as soon as I go out." Both are cooked."

Ji Cheng laughed and said, "So I'm more pitiful than that Wang Liniang?"

After saying that, Ji Cheng really felt much better, and even ate two more slices of mutton.

As soon as he finished his meal, Ji Cheng started to feel sleepy, he yawned twice, fell asleep in Shen Che's arms.She used to be unable to fall asleep, but recently she was drowsy and unable to wake up.

When Ji Cheng woke up, she was not in Jiuliyuan, but in a strange place. She sat up from the bed, and vaguely heard someone talking outside, and she could hear Shen Che's voice carefully.

There are really not too many caves for Shen Che. Just as Ji Cheng was about to get out of bed and put on his shoes, he saw Shen Che come in from the outside through the curtain: "Just woke up, it's time to take medicine."

"Did you bring the medicine?" Ji Cheng asked in amazement, even she forgot to take the medicine when she went out.

Shen Che took out the medicine cup from the warm barrel, put the medicine in a bowl and handed it to Ji Cheng, but Ji Cheng didn't reach out, just looked at Shen Che and said, "It's too bitter to drink."

"You can act like a baby at your own time." Shen Che sat down by the bed with a medicine bowl in his hand, "You are so small-minded, why blame me for saying you don't know how to have fun?" Shen Che took out dried peaches from his arms, "Drink I'll reward you when you're done."

Ji Cheng didn't really want to embarrass Shen Che, so he obediently took a gulp of the medicine, and twisted the dried peach from Shen Che's hand: "Where is this place? Who were you talking to first?"

Shen Che put on the shoes for Ji Cheng, and pulled her outside, but there was no one there, there was a painting on the wall, which showed a tiger sniffing a rose, but there were two holes in the eyes of the tiger, and you could see The situation outside.

It was here that Shen Che arranged for Jing Shijun.

Unintentionally knowing too many secrets, Ji Cheng stretched out his hand in a yawning gesture: "Then shall I go to sleep for a while?"

Shen Che said: "No need. I just took care of some things while you were asleep. Let's go when you wake up now."

Ji Cheng said: "Actually, you don't need to spare time to accompany me. I'm fine at home." Ji Cheng was busy every day just managing the Ji family's property, but Shen Che had to manage the entire Jing Shijun. more complicated than her.

Shen Che said: "No problem. I am happy to accompany you."

The next place Shen Che took Ji Cheng to was Qingzang Pavilion, which was the property of Ji's family, and Ji Cheng's Qing Jian was sold here.Later, her mother passed away, and Ji Cheng didn't paint flowers after returning to observe filial piety. However, Qingzang Pavilion's reputation has spread, so the business is not bad.

"Why do you want to come here?" Ji Cheng asked.

"Come to ask if there is any collection of clear notes for sale. Since the makers of the notes have disappeared, it is extremely rare to have a box of clear notes." Shen Che laughed.

Ji Cheng didn't believe that Shen Che didn't know about his own affairs: "It's all the leisure and leisure that I only had when I was a girl."

Shen Che laughed and said, "Aren't you more relaxed now than when you were a girl?"

Ji Cheng's painting skills have been put down for a long time, since he married Shen Che, he basically hasn't done much painting.It seems that there is really no leisure and leisure, every day is occupied by trivial things, it is indeed a bit embarrassing to think about it.No wonder some people say that married women are those dead fish eyes.

When the shopkeeper saw Ji Cheng, he naturally knew that this was the daughter of the owner's family, so he rushed in and served tea: "Young Mistress hasn't come for a long time, and you don't know how many people have come to ask Qing Jian in the past few years. The stock is all saved and sold, but it is inevitable that there will be requests from acquaintances, and it is difficult to refuse, and now they are all gone, which makes those old customers very disappointed."

Ji Cheng only smiled when he heard this, and finally picked out a few painting albums from the building and left, and picked up some talking books next door.

On the carriage back, Ji Cheng kept guessing why Shen Che brought him to the Qingzang Pavilion. Did he want him to make paper again?But Shen Che was not short of money, so naturally it wasn't for business.So Ji Cheng had to guess, what did he mean by telling himself not to bury himself in the "copper stink" and to do more elegant things?
Ji Cheng asked out loud, "Did you bring me to Qingzang Pavilion because you hoped that I would stop meddling with the business?"

Shen Che said: "You have a good idea. If you don't need someone like you, where can I find someone who I can rest assured to manage the accounts? After you take care of yourself, my pile of accounts is still waiting for you." You see, the matter of the Western Regions was started by you, and I want to hand it back to you."

Then Ji Cheng was even more surprised by Shen Che's motives.

"Don't think too much." Shen Che kissed Ji Cheng's face, "You are exhausted because you think deeply about everything. I took you to Qingzang Pavilion just to tell you that you are painting He is very accomplished in paper making, it would be a pity if it goes to waste. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to treat it as a hobby?"

It was only then that Ji Cheng realized that Shen Che was looking for hobbies for himself in a different way: "Oh, how do you know that I have a talent for making paper?"

"People in the world are not blind. If your flower paper is not good, how can you have so many reputations? Besides, I think that it is impossible for a person who can make 'Lovesickness Twelve Hours a Day' to be without talent." Shen Che said .

The flower paper of "One Day Lovesickness" was not sold in Qingzang Pavilion.Because Ji Cheng felt that Hua Jian's name was too charming, which gave her a bad reputation when she was a girl.So Ji Cheng was surprised and said: "How do you know there is a 'One Day Lovesickness'?"

"I saw it at Ah Xun's." Shen Che never dared to tell Ji Cheng that the flower paper was used by him to write a letter to Fang Xuan.

No one expected that things would change like this.She used to think that in this life, Fang Xuan would only put her heart into it and would never change. How could she know that she would meet such a magic star later on, tossing him to death and not even daring to lose her temper.Even when he was in front of Fang Xuan, Shen Che was never so careful.

"You like it?" Ji Cheng said with some secret joy in his heart, saying ten thousand words and ten thousand words. To her, other people's likes are not as good as Shen Che's appreciation.

"Naturally." Shen Che said, it can't be said that Shen Che looked down on Ji Cheng on the one hand, but on the other hand felt that this person was very contradictory. People are curious.

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "Well, I'm short of someone who can serve tea and water, grind ink and cut paper, and I think you are the most suitable person."

"My technique of grinding ink is not bad." Shen Che was not humble at all.
