Colorful

Chapter 41 The Qixi Festival (2)
Under the suspicious eyes cast by Shen Cui, Ji Cheng said: "I have a good nose since I was a child. I smelled the strong scent of powder in that room, so I knew it must be a woman's room. That's why I brought Fifth Sister He ventured in." It's always easier to deal with women who are powerless.

"As for why the dancer who came in didn't recognize us, I'm also surprised." Ji Cheng said honestly.She is also really pitiful, she was originally icy in the jade pot, but unfortunately for someone who is used to giving people the deep impression of scheming, it is difficult for others to suspect that she does things without purpose.

Shen Che didn't ask any more questions when he heard the words, and instead comforted Shen Cui: "Don't worry, not too many people will know about this matter. People in Tianxiang Pavilion absolutely dare not talk too much. As for the line about Mazi, the family members themselves I know how to cook. My family members must be looking for you in a hurry right now, just tell the old lady and aunts the truth when you get back."

Shen Cui nodded, and couldn't help but asked Shen Che: "Second Brother, can you find out who actually hurt us?"

Although Shen Che felt in his heart that Shen Cui's brain was really long, and he didn't even know that he had offended anyone, but he still comforted him: "Don't worry, the truth will always come to light."

Shen Che left the carriage very quickly. Although they were all younger sisters, it was still not good to ride in the same carriage.

After Ji Cheng and Shen Cui were sent home by Shen Che, as expected all the servants of the Shen family had been sent out to look for them. Shen Xian and Shen Xun were so excited that they wept when they saw her and Shen Cui returning safely.Ji Lan's eyes were already swollen from crying, and the old lady's eye circles were also red.

Ji Cheng and Shen Cui told the truth according to Shen Che's words.Not to mention the old lady, even the Duke of Qi, Shen Zhuo, who came back after hearing the sound, had a dark face.Although Ji Lan didn't speak, the palms of his hands were bleeding from his fingernails.

Next, Ji Cheng and Shen Cui drank a bowl of calming soup, and were sent back to the house by the girl to wash and rest. The elders in the family told them to only say that they were just playing for fear of being followed by their servants, so they mischievously dumped the girl and Shen Cui. Mother-in-law, I went to play by myself.

Many people slept very soundly that night, such as Ji Cheng, and many people discussed matters very late, such as the old lady's Rui Yingtang.

When Shen Che returned to Jiuliyuan, Nishang was sewing a new coat for him under the lamp, seeing him coming in and putting down his needle and thread, and the servants at home were looking around for Shen Cui and Ji Cheng, so she naturally heard about it.

Nishang went up to meet Shen Che, and waited for Shen Che to change his shoes, and said softly: "The cook has mung bean and lily soup. Do you want to drink a bowl after bathing?"

While talking, Nishang lowered his head again to take off Shen Che's belt, only to see a silver light flash in the air, Nishang let out a "huh", how could there be five colors?
It's no wonder that Nishang was surprised. Ever since she started serving Shen Che, when Shen Che came back every Qixi Festival, she had never seen five-color strands on his body. If he didn't want those girls to get close, those girls would not Maybe he got five-color wisps pinned on him.

Hearing the surprised sound of Nishang, Shen Che lowered his head and saw the needle in her hand with five colored threads.He frowned slightly, it was rare for him to be uncertain when the sudden five-color strands came to him.

It shouldn't be Wang Liniang.

Wang Liniang was the little widow that Shen Xun and Ji Cheng saw accompanying Shen Che during the Dragon Boat Festival.If it weren't for the appearance of this five-color strand, this lady Wang would probably never appear in Shen Che's memory again for the rest of her life from now on.

This can only be blamed on Wang Liniang being too impatient, so she couldn't eat hot tofu.

However, today is Qixi Festival, so it is really unreasonable for Shen Che not to visit Wang Liniang on such a festive day.

Wang Liniang's mother-in-law, Mrs. Hou, also knew about it, so she hid early. Her unlucky son died early. This daughter-in-law guarded her son for three years, and she was worthy of her old Hou family.It is said that once a woman marries, she follows her father, and when she remarries, she is up to herself. But now Mrs. Hou relies entirely on Wang Liniang to do some needlework to support the family, so she is not willing to remarry Wang Liniang.

Being teased by the women around her, Mrs. Hou started to think of Wang Liniang. This little lady was born beautiful, and if she could climb up to a rich man and be a concubine, she would be qualified.In this way, Wang Liniang can continue to live with her. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds for the rich kid to come and stay for a night to enjoy some money?
Wang Liniang was not a dissolute person at first, but she couldn't resist being instigated by Mrs. Hou for many years. That day when she looked up the street from upstairs, when she saw Shen Che, she jumped towards her.Just like what Yu Qian'er said, Wang Liniang thought the same thing, even if we can only be husband and wife with him for one night, this life will be worth it for a lifetime.

So this is the first time in Wang Liniang's life that she used a handkerchief to tease a man.At that time, Wang Liniang just wanted to give it a try, but never thought it would be successful, but Shen Che turned around and gently pulled the corner of his lips at her.

After that, things will naturally follow suit.Mrs. Hou laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. The second son of the Shen family was very generous, and he even opened a small wine shop for her money to make a living.

This day, knowing that Shen Che was coming for Qixi Festival, Mrs. Hou was naturally hospitable. She went to Zhutou Zhang's stewed meat shop early in the morning to order the pig's ear leaves.

Anyone who has eaten stewed pig's ears should know that the most delicious thing is the row of ear leaves, with a white cartilage in the middle, which tastes soft and hard, with a unique flavor.But the pig's ear is so big, there will always be leftovers after a knife, but this Second Young Master Shen only eats the most complete ear pieces.

There are not many complete ears that can be picked out of a pig's stewed pig ears, not to mention the stewed pig ears of the pig's head are well-known in the capital.If Mrs. Hou hadn't gone early, she would definitely not be able to buy it.

In this room, Mrs. Hou bought braised pig ears, and in that room, Wang Liniang also walked half the city to get a pound of Yuquanbai, which Shen Che liked.Yuquanbai is the signature wine of a small wine shop in the suburbs of Nancheng. It does not produce much every day, and it is only sold for half a year. Before it opened, there was already a queue for half a street at the door.

The Hou family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have really put in a lot of effort in order to firmly climb the big tree of the second son of the Shen family.

When Shen Che arrived at Hou's house, Wang Liniang came out to welcome her like a neon dress. She was a considerate and considerate person, and after getting along with Shen Che not long after, she basically figured out Shen Che's habits. The twisted handkerchief waited for her to wash her face and hands, and served her with all the tenderness and tenderness.

"My lord seems a little tired, let me squeeze your shoulders for you." Wang Liniang observed Shen Che's expression while arranging the cups and chopsticks.

Shen Che smiled and said: "Okay, Liniang has a pair of skillful hands."

Wang Liniang twisted her waist and walked behind Shen Che, and kneaded his shoulders for him: "Is the oxtail simmered today, young master, satisfied?"

"The oxtail made by Liniang is the best in the capital, and there is no other place that can surpass yours." Shen Che said.

Wang Liniang smiled brightly: "If the young master likes it, Liniang will cook for the young master every day from now on."

Shen Che couldn't answer these words, and could only pretend that he didn't understand.Wang Liniang sighed inwardly, recalling what her former son, Mrs. Hou said, that a man and a woman can't be tied together if they haven't really been intimate.

Thinking of this, Wang Liniang's face blushed slightly, she looked down at Shen Che, although she could only see the top and back of the enemy's head, but in her eyes, even the back of Shen Che's head was a hundred times prettier than others go.Wang Liniang was heartbroken, and pulled the neckline of the water red thin shirt she was wearing. Inside the summer thin shirt was only a frosty white embroidered peony doll, but the frosty white cloth was not as good as her breasts. Rou Erbai, she herself would be dazed sometimes when she saw it, but she didn't know what her beloved enemy would think.

After Wang Liniang looked at the empty wine in Shen Che's glass, she walked up to Shen Che lightly with lotus steps, bent down to fill the wine for him, and the pair of pig heads dangling slowly almost ran out.

Holding the wine glass in both hands, Wang Liniang snuggled into Shen Che's arms with the motion of passing the wine: "My lord."

Shen Che supported Wang Liniang's waist, took the wine glass with one hand, and fixed her three inches away from him, his eyes lingered on Wang Liniang's tall pig head for a long time, and then smiled: "Liniang, this kind of If a woman is too active in things, it’s not interesting. Didn’t I teach you that if you want to hang me, you have to lift the meat higher, so that it’s interesting if I can see it but not eat it.”

Although Shen Che's words were joking, Wang Liniang's heart sank when she heard it.When we first met, Wang Liniang was also self-restraining, thinking that she couldn't get a man so easily, otherwise they wouldn't cherish her, and Shen Che didn't force her.

At that time, Wang Liniang thought that Shen Che valued her.But it's been two months since she blinked. She didn't take the initiative, and this friend never took the initiative. Every time he only teased her with his eyes, which made her distracted, but he didn't do anything.

Anyway, Wang Liniang is also a married person, when her dead ghost is around, if she doesn't hang around with her one day, no man can stand the smell.But when she was in front of this romantic young man, she seemed to be overwhelmed, and instead she couldn't help herself.

"My lord, I..." Wang Liniang called out in tears.

Shen Che wiped Wang Liniang's tears: "Liniang, don't cry, even if we can't get better, if you ask me for something, I won't ignore it."

Wang Liniang became anxious when she heard this, why did she talk about separation?

It's a pity that Ren Wang Liniang's tears flowed all over the ground, but she couldn't win back the heart of that thin lover.

"Young master." Shen Che's entourage, Ma Chao, saw Shen Che coming out of Wang Li's natal house, and immediately went up to greet him. He originally thought it would take a while.

Shen Che turned his head and glanced at Wang Liniang who ran out but didn't dare to go forward, he felt a little bored in his heart, he originally thought that Wang Liniang would be more reserved.

Ma Chao has been with Shen Che for many years, how can he not know Shen Che's habits, he secretly sighed for Wang Liniang, what a delicate and beautiful little widow, her breasts are breasts, legs are legs, and she couldn't catch him How long is my son.

But back to Shen Che in Jiuliyuan, recalling the contact with Wang Liniang today, he can be sure that even if he is so close, Wang Liniang will never put the five-color thread on him without anyone noticing, and he is not aware of it.If Wang Liniang could succeed, then Shen Che would have died countless times.

However, after Shen Che left from Wang Li's mother's house, he happened to meet the fat man Chu De in Prince Ping's residence, so he was invited to go directly to Tianxiang Pavilion.

Thinking of this, there is only one possibility.Shen Che seemed to realize something, frowned slightly, glanced at the five-color strands in Nishang's hand again, and said lightly: "Throw it away."

Shen Che got the five-color thread here, which aroused the surprise of Nishang, but Ji Cheng didn't notice the loss of the five-color thread.When changing clothes back then, Ji Cheng didn't have any self-defense weapons at hand, so he inadvertently remembered the needle Shen Xun gave her, and inserted it into her hair. Even if it didn't have any deterrent effect, it might still poke someone in a hurry. s eyes.

Ji Cheng didn't use the needle afterwards. When she danced too violently, the needle slipped out of her hair. If she hadn't been wearing a five-color thread behind her, she would have fallen to the ground long ago.

It just so happened that when Ji Cheng twisted into Shen Che's arms, the needle slipped onto Shen Che's back with five colored strands, and then lightly stuck on his belt.It's also a coincidence, after tossing and tossing for a long time, when Shen Che came back, it was still in the gap of his belt, I don't know if it is fate or not.

The next day, everything seemed to be back to normal. When Ji Cheng went to greet Ji Lan, he saw that her face was pale and her eyes were bruised. He probably didn't sleep well, and Ji Cheng didn't ask any more questions. As a junior, sometimes it's hard to talk too much.

But Ji Cheng was not easy to speak, but Shen Cui had no scruples: "Mother, have you found out who harmed us?"

Ji Lan said: "There is no such quick thing, last night I was all on looking for you."

What else did Shen Cui want to ask, but Ji Lan cut it off and said, "Okay, don't ask any more, if I have news, can I not tell you?"

Shen Cui thought about it, so she stopped talking.In fact, she is not a fool, she guessed a little bit, but she is not sure, she thinks it is impossible for the sisters of the Wang family to have the guts to break ground on the Shen family.

But Ji Cheng didn't think so, she felt that the Shen family probably already knew who did it.Because when they came back, she not only mentioned Tianxiang Pavilion, but also the "pockmark" who took over in the middle. Following such clues, it would be the fastest to investigate that night, because those people had no time to hide their whereabouts.

Looking at Ji Lan's face, it was clearly extremely angry but he had to suppress it, and he had to comfort Shen Cui in turn.

The Concubine Shu of the Wang family really has a lot of face, and the Shen family may not give Shen Cui a head. Ji Cheng sighed secretly, and suddenly became a little lazy.When she came to Beijing, she wanted to climb to the high school, thinking that the dignity of life would be guaranteed, but now seeing Ji Lan like this, she thought the Shen family was a high school again, right?The title of the hereditary duke, and the princess's descent, but so what?Even if something happened to Shen Cui, the Shen family would have to knock out teeth and eat blood, so what's the point of these?
Ji Cheng thought, could it be that the only way to marry the old emperor is to wait until he kicks his legs and becomes the empress dowager, can he be happy with his love and hatred?
