Colorful

Chapter 23
"Hey, no, no." Shen Xun was so anxious that he jumped up and gasped for breath, and couldn't speak, he turned his eyes to Ji Cheng for help.

After weighing it up, Ji Cheng said, "Brother Che, it's all my fault. I was curious about the snacks in the capital, and my sister Xun couldn't get my begging to ask, so I took me here for a stroll."

Shen Xun made a gesture to Ji Cheng, "You are Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva".

How can Shen Che not understand his sister's temperament, but if no one manipulates her, Shen Xun will not come alone.

"There are mixed fish and dragons here, you two girls, don't wander around." Shen Che turned his head to Ji Cheng and said, "This place is not as simple as the Jin people, and Miss Ji is one year older than Ah Xun, so don't let her mess around from now on. If something really happened, even if you regret it, it won’t help.”

Ji Cheng's face was flushed by Shen Che's words, fortunately he was still wearing a veil at the moment.This Cousin Che is really powerful, he has a good point in his words, and he completely grasps Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng and Shen Che are not familiar at all, originally thought that Shen Che would not pay attention to his cousin who couldn't be farther away, but he knew that he came from Jindi, and he also saw that he was playing around with Shen Xun and took the opportunity to beat herself, if something happened to Shen Xun, Ji Cheng would not end well at all, and it would be too late to regret it.

Ji Cheng couldn't speak anymore, Shen Xun hurriedly helped Ji Cheng and said, "Second brother, I don't blame sister Cheng, I want to come too." Shen Xun tugged on Shen Che's sleeve, "It's all you , you would rather accompany those Laoshizi people than accompany me to watch the dragon boat race." Shen Xun glared dissatisfiedly at the woman who had been standing silently beside Shen Che.

The woman combed her hair in a woman's bun, but there was a white flower on her sideburns, which according to the custom of this dynasty, indicated that she was a widow and never remarried.But looking at her wearing a cherry pink short jacket, a black purple twelve-piece Hunan skirt, and a jasper-pressed skirt ring, it seems that three years of filial piety have passed.

In fact, the folks are far less concerned about keeping filial piety than the officialdom. The gentry are afraid that if they don’t do well in the filial piety period, they will be criticized and affect their promotion. What filial piety can't be seen in the public eye, even if you are a vegetarian, if you get money and can make a tooth sacrifice and eat meat, there is no reason why your parents will not eat it after death, let alone your husband.

Ji Cheng looked at the little woman in front of him, although her clothes looked more gorgeous and her family background was not bad, but she was able to go out alone with Shen Che on the Dragon Boat Festival, presumably she was not from a well-behaved family, it was about the same as her own background, The only difference may be that they are not as rich as the Ji family.

Seeing both Shen Xun and Ji Cheng looking over at this moment, the little woman smiled and saluted her body, her demeanor seemed quite generous, but there was always a smug and flattering attitude, maybe she was also a romantic player.

It's not easy for a woman to be a widow, but Ji Cheng doesn't think too much about this beautiful woman, everyone is just struggling for a better survival.

Shen Xun's nostrils were turned upside down, and he looked down on the little widow at all. He pulled Shen Che's sleeve and said, "Second brother, I caught you today, so you have to accompany me, otherwise I will tell mother to go."

Shen Che pulled the sleeve out of Shen Xun's hand: "If you don't go back now, you won't even think about going out this year for the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Double Ninth Festival, and the Lantern Festival."

Shen Xun did not expect that Shen Che would still want to accompany the little widow in front of him, and suddenly felt aggrieved, pointing at the little widow and said: "Don't be complacent, the woman beside him a month ago was not you! "

Ji Cheng wanted to help his forehead at that time, did he tear down his brother's platform like this?But about the matter of their two brothers and sisters, Ji Cheng didn't like to talk too much, he would be blamed if he talked too much, Shen Xun probably wouldn't listen to him either.

"Ah Xun, where is your upbringing?" Shen Che frowned slightly, his eyes turned to Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng didn't want to be troublesome at first, but under Shen Che's eyes, he pulled Shen Xun's sleeve unconsciously: "Sister Xun, let's go back quickly, the polo match is about to start, sister Xun must be looking for us everywhere."

Shen Xun didn't appreciate Ji Cheng's affection, so he threw off her hand angrily, and spread all the anger she had received from Shen Che on Ji Cheng, then lifted his skirt and ran away from the crowd, wiping away tears as he ran.

Ji Cheng stomped her feet, she also saw a ghost, she had planned well in her heart, but she couldn't help but obey when she was pressed by Shen Che's eyes, who knew that this dude actually had such coercion.

Ji Cheng looked at the back of Shen Xun who was running away, and resignedly raised the corner of his skirt to chase after him. She was resentful of Shen Che, and all her flattery to Shen Xun today was destroyed by Shen Che.

While running, Ji Cheng looked back at Shen Che and the little widow, the wind from running gently lifted the veil on the veil, and there was no obstacle covering Ji Cheng's eyes, and she could see Shen Che's indifferent expression more clearly. s face.This one is really cruel, seeing Shen Xun crying and fussing, he has no sympathy at all.

Shen Che didn't move, so Ji Cheng had no choice but to continue running forward to chase Shen Xun.

As for the little widow next to Shen Che, she was really shocked when she saw Ji Cheng's true face, her eyes nearly popped out.Ji Cheng's appearance was only a flash in the eye, but it was enough to make Wang Liniang feel ashamed and fall back with a single arrow.

Wang Liniang turned her head to look at Shen Che, and heard Ji Cheng call him cousin Che, that is the relationship between cousins.She really didn't expect his cousin to be so shy, even a god would be jealous.Although she still has some confidence in her appearance, but with that cousin Zhuyu in front, compared with others, she is like a Chinese cabbage that can be seen everywhere.Therefore, Wang Liniang couldn't believe that Shen Che could actually fall in love with her.

"My lord, is there something wrong with Miss Xun running away like this? It doesn't matter to me. It's important that you go find Miss Xun first." Wang Liniang said considerately.

Shen Che glanced at Wang Liniang, and Wang Liniang's three souls and seven souls went to three souls and six souls. A man who looks like this is really a disaster for his daughter's family.What's more, Shen Che's charm is not limited to his outstanding handsomeness.Wang Liniang couldn't tell why, she just felt that a man like him was cold and bad, knowing that it was poison, but making people willing to die at this moment.

"Li Niang, I still prefer your appearance when we first met." Shen Che said with a half-smile.

What was she like when we first met?Wang Liniang did not recover.When we first met, she was still a little widow who was treated harshly by her mother-in-law. She lived in a narrow room on the second floor, and downstairs was the wine shop opened by her husband's family.

That day when Shen Che passed by with his entourage, Wang Liniang was astonished, and without knowing where the courage came from, she tied the sweat towel she was carrying with a fan pendant and threw it at him.Unexpectedly, Mr. Shen is very knowledgeable and interesting, and the two have formed a good relationship since then. Because Shen Che is very generous, even her mother-in-law treats her differently.

But what was she like when they first met?Wang Liniang asked herself in shock, is she shameless?

Just when Wang Liniang felt that her whole heart was soaking in cold water, she heard Shen Che say: "At that time, you dared to throw a sweat towel at me when you missed me in the street. Didn't you say you missed me today? Why are you so eager to refuse? Push me away?"

Wang Liniang looked at Shen Che, there was a smile in his eyes, but his eyes were cold.

Wang Liniang struggled to pull out a smile, she understood Shen Che's hint, there was really no point in playing tricks with women with him.It was also because she had thoughts that she shouldn't have, how could she be worthy of him with such an identity, and why bother pretending to be a good wife and mother, she just had to be happy when she had time.

Wang Liniang felt bitter in her heart, but she couldn't let go of the few traces of love and affection he had.

However, if Ji Cheng really wants to catch up with Shen Xun, it will only take a blink of an eye. Shen Xun's physical strength is naturally not as good as hers, but at this time Shen Xun is angry and just lost face in front of Shen Che. If Ji Cheng If he went up, he would definitely be angered again, and Shen Xun would probably feel a little bit annoyed. No one wanted to see the most embarrassing side.

Besides, Shen Xun usually talks about how her second brother loves her inside and out, so she can't get down the stairs even more.

After Shen Xun's emotions calmed down for a while, and he was out of breath, Ji Cheng rushed up panting and called anxiously, "Sister Xun."

Shen Xun couldn't run anymore, but he didn't want to see Ji Cheng, so he simply turned his back to her and didn't speak.

Ji Cheng didn't open his mouth, he just stretched out his hand to pull Shen Xun's hand, Shen Xun shook off once, she pulled once, Shen Xun shook off again, she pulled again, finally Shen Xun didn't shake off her hand, But also do not speak.

Ji Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, and pulled Shen Xun back.

When he was about to reach the tent of Shen's residence, Shen Xun said: "Sister Cheng, you are not allowed to tell anyone what happened today."

Ji Cheng took off his veiled cap and nodded solemnly: "I won't tell anyone."

Shen Xun pouted, and couldn't help complaining: "My second brother actually didn't even want my sister because of a shameless woman who didn't know where. I hate him to death." Shen Xun stomped his feet as he spoke.

In fact, Ji Cheng also wanted to scold Shen Che according to Shen Xun's words, but when the brothers and sisters reconciled, she would be the one who was not human inside and out, so Ji Cheng could only say: "Cousin Che, how could you not want you? Maybe he didn't treat that woman as you thought, maybe he had other things with him before he left together."

Shen Xun said: "What serious business can he have? He only sleeps in flowers and willows all day long." Shen Xun said without hesitation, and regretted it after finishing speaking, "I'm not saying that my brother is that kind of person, but he , but he..." Shen Xun couldn't explain it himself.

"I know, I know." Ji Cheng hurriedly said, "Cousin Che knows right and wrong better than most people, and he knows that there is no one in his room now." Ji Cheng's words were really against his will , she herself despised herself a little.

Shen Xun couldn't help breaking the news after hearing the words: "It's not that he can bear it. First, my mother didn't allow it, because she was afraid that the subordinates would hook up the second brother. Later, she said that if there is no room in the house, those noble people will not let me know." The family is willing to marry their daughter in."

For those noble families, family style is more important than any honor. Even if you are the son of a princess, if your family style is not good, you are not willing to marry your daughter in.

Ji Cheng nodded, and realized the importance of family style from Shen Xun's words.

"Cousin Keche can listen to the arrangement of the princess. This is filial piety and the ability to distinguish right from wrong." Obedience means filial piety and ability to distinguish right from wrong?This requirement is really too low.Ji Cheng's words were actually belittling Shen Che in a disguised form, but she was very happy to hear that from the pure-hearted Shen Xun. She lost her temper today because she was actually afraid that Ji Cheng would speak ill of her second brother in front of others in the future.

Even if Shen Xun gets angry again, he will never like others to say a bad word about him.

"That's true, he has been very filial to my mother since he was a child." Shen Xun nodded, "But it's not like that to my younger sister."
