Colorful

Chapter 62
Qi Hua entertained Ji Cheng and Shen Cui warmly and thoughtfully, and led them to Mrs. Qi's room to talk.

Mrs. Qi did not lie on the bed today, but sat on the couch neatly dressed. Even though she was covered with makeup, Ji Cheng could still see that Mrs. Qi was in a bad mood, and there was a deep Sichuan pattern between her eyebrows , should be suffering from illness, often frowning.

Ji Cheng and Shen Cui greeted Mrs. Qi, and Mrs. Qi kindly asked them to sit down and said some homely things, but she was really out of spirits, so she asked Qi Hua to entertain Ji Cheng and Shen Cui for her after chatting for a long time. Go for a walk in the garden.

The garden in Uncle Yunyang's Mansion is naturally not as good as Qingyuan, but Qingyuan is not the third bedroom of Shen's family, and the family has been separated for a long time. It's just because the old lady is still there, so the gardens are connected. When the old lady goes, I'm afraid it won't be much. The door will be sealed in [-], after all, the family has already separated.

Shen Cui looked critically at the garden of Uncle Yunyang's mansion with the eyes of looking at the future husband's family. It was really too small, but it was small and exquisite. Bo manages with care.

Shen Cui thought of Mrs. Qi's appearance just now, and I'm afraid it's not too long ago. Such a family will marry in without a mother-in-law, and life will be much more comfortable. Even if Uncle Yunyang remarries, it's just a continuation, and it can't be put in front of her. Acting like a mother-in-law.

The more Shen Cui thought about it, the happier she became, and couldn't help asking Qi Hua, "Are you the only one at home today?"

"My elder brother is on duty in the palace, but he should be home soon." Qi Hua said this to Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng is not willing to have any contact with Qi Zheng under Mrs. Qi's nose. From Mrs. Qi's speech before, it can be known that she is a very well-behaved and slightly old-fashioned person.

Ji Cheng said, "We should go back after bothering you for so long."

Qi Hua was stunned, she thought that Ji Cheng must really want to see her elder brother.

"So fast? I haven't finished spinning yet." Shen Cui said.

It's just a small garden, I walked around every corner for half an hour, what else is there to finish?Ji Cheng looked at Shen Cui suspiciously.

Shen Cui looked away guiltily and said, "The couplets in the garden are very well written, it's rare to come here once, and I want to read it carefully."

Ji Cheng didn't say any more, and sat in the pavilion with Qi Hua to drink tea. Because Shen Cui said that the couplets were well written, she could only pretend to stand in front of the Qingfen Hall with her hands behind her back, savoring the couplets there.

When Qi Zheng knew from Madam Qi that Ji Cheng was coming, he originally planned to avoid suspicion, but when he heard Madam Qi say that the fifth girl from the Shen family was also here, Qi Zheng immediately remembered that Shen Cui was the one who performed in the middle altar The girl—the only daughter of the third room of the Shen family, is said to be pampered.

Qi Zheng tidied up his clothes. Opportunities are created for those who are prepared. He wants to give it a try.

But Qi Zheng couldn't be too obvious, he asked the girl where Qi Hua and Shen Cui were, and walked around the gable to Qingfen Hall, where he usually likes to study and paint.

The climbing corridor is on a high place, and Qi Zheng saw Qi Hua and Ji Cheng drinking tea in the pavilion not far from Qingfen Hall at a glance.

Ji Cheng wore a pale pink skirt, as pale as the tenderest peach blossom on a branch in March. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, her movements were graceful and soft, whether she was holding a cup of tea or bowing her head. It is as natural and freehand as a willow swaying by the spring breeze, with an indescribable elegance and subtlety, and a natural mood.Just looking at it from a distance already made Qi Zheng feel refreshed.

It's a pity that the origin is a little worse.

Qi Zheng's gaze quickly shifted from Ji Cheng to Shen Cui standing in front of Qingfen Hall.

Qi Zheng went down the climbing corridor, passed the Aquarius Gate, and walked along the stone road inlaid with eight treasure patterns to Qingfen Hall, just in time to see Shen Cui face to face.

Shen Cui blushed immediately, she should have left quickly, but she was reluctant to give up such a good opportunity to speak, so she just lowered her head slightly, playing with Yingluo on her waist awkwardly and shyly.

He seems to like wearing blue robes very much, Shen Cui thought, but blue really suits him very well, it is as delicate and handsome as a tall and straight green bamboo, and has the arrogance of a green pine that resists frost and snow.

The bamboo is modest, the green pines are proud of the snow, and they are elegant and worldly good sons.

Seeing that Shen Cui was shy, Qi Zheng took the initiative to say: "Miss Shen."

"Master Qi." Shen Cui squatted down to salute.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they had nothing to say. Qi Zheng was not good at talking to women, otherwise he would not have been able to find a capable Yue family until today, and Shen Cui was too shy to speak, so the scene was a bit awkward.

With Ji Cheng's teacup still in her mouth, she looked at Shen Cui's coy behavior from a distance, and she was quite surprised.Is Shen Cui looking at Qi Zheng?Ji Cheng frowned slightly, this made things a bit of a headache.

Looking at Qi Zheng's appearance again, Ji Cheng frowned even tighter. She remembered that Qi Zheng was a very shy person and was not good at talking to girls, but at this moment it was obvious that he was looking for something to say. Could it be that he also Have a crush on Shen Cui?

When did the two see each other?Although Ji Cheng didn't keep an eye on Shen Cui all the time, but for Shen Cui's kind of person who would make a big fuss about anything, Ji Cheng wouldn't be unaware of what had happened between her and Qi Zhengruo.

Looking at the very right couple in front of him, Ji Cheng guessed that Qi Zheng probably saw Shen Cui at a performance in the middle altar.

Ji Cheng sighed slightly, she had exhausted all her efforts, but she made a wedding dress for someone else, instead she was a matchmaker for Shen Cui and Qi Zheng.

Qi Hua naturally also saw Shen Cui and Qi Zheng, and Qi Zhengzheng was pointing at the couplets and comparing paintings to Shen Cui.She knows her brother better than Ji Cheng, her brother has always been stupid and shy, and he has never seen him take the initiative in front of any girl.

Qi Hua's heart skipped a beat, of course she prefers Shen Cui to be her sister-in-law.Ji Cheng has money, Shen Cui's mother is also from the Ji family, Shen Cui's dowry must be quite a lot, and Shen Cui is still the fifth girl of the Shen family, she is also the cousin of Shen Yu and Shen Che, even if Shen Cui marries her brother Otherwise, it would be impossible for Qi Hua to marry into the Shen family again, but in fact, she would have no chance to marry into it.

However, once Qi Zheng and Shen Cui get engaged, Qi Hua believes that those who come to her house to propose marriage to her will definitely step through the threshold.

Qi Hua carefully observed Ji Cheng's expression. Ji Cheng was very calm, with a faint smile on his lips, as if he didn't mind the matter of Shen Cui and Qi Zheng at all.This made Qi Hua a little suspicious, could it be that she misunderstood Ji Cheng's thoughts a few days ago?
Ji Cheng was not a person who gave up easily, and she was not in a hurry, because she really suspected that Qi Zheng had ulterior motives in looking at Shen Cui.

When leaving Uncle Yunyang's mansion, the carriage stopped suddenly after not driving for a long time. Yu Qian'er opened the curtain and went out to have a look, then turned around and said, "He's a rascal who touches porcelain, he really doesn't have eyes." Even Shen's carriage Also dare to blackmail.

Yu Qian'er jumped out of the carriage, and got back on the driveway after a while: "Everything is fine."

Shen Cui was always in a good mood, so she didn't care about this little episode. Ji Cheng noticed the wink Yu Qian'er gave her, and secretly guessed what it was, but this was not the time to talk.

Back at Ji's house, Ji Cheng and Shen Cui went to Ji Lan's house to talk together. Seeing Shen Cui's radiant face, Ji Lan asked with a smile, "Is Uncle Yunyang's Mansion fun?"

Shen Cui nodded: "Very good, Mrs. Qi treated us very politely, and Sister Qi Hua was also nice, very enthusiastic. Her garden is in the Jiangnan style. Although it is a bit small, the plaques and couplets are very well written good."

"As long as you're happy." Ji Lan smiled dotingly, then turned to ask Ji Cheng, "How is Ah Cheng doing? Just talking to Qi Hua for most of the day?"

Ji Cheng smiled, and said neatly: "I also met the eldest son of the Qi family."

Ji Lan knew that Ji Cheng's intention to go to Qi's house was not pure, so she was not surprised to hear that Qi Zheng was there: "Oh."

Shen Cui was afraid that Ji Cheng would say something she shouldn't say, so she shook Ji Lan's hand and said, "Mom, I'm hungry."

"Okay, I'll ask Linglong to bring you some snacks." Ji Lan said, but she seemed to be thinking about Qi Zheng's affairs very much, and said to Ji Cheng, "The eldest son of the Qi family seems to be a guard in the palace. Is it on duty?"

Ji Cheng said: "I'm not sure, Sister Qi and I were drinking tea in the garden, and Ah Cui was admiring the couplets in Qingfen Hall, when the eldest son of the Qi family came back home, that was his study, Ah Cui and Young Master Qi were in Qingfen Hall. Fentang talked for a while at the gate, she might be a little clearer."

When Ji Cheng said this, he didn't look at Shen Cui at all, and naturally ignored her winking.

The smile on Ji Lan's face suddenly changed from joking to rigid: "This eldest son of the Qi family is too careless in his actions. He knows that there is a female guest at home, so he doesn't even know to avoid suspicion?" The child's fault, anyway, Shen Cui was right.

Ji Cheng didn't answer, as long as Ji Lan knew about it, it was fine. Ji Cheng didn't want to destroy Shen Cui and Qi Zheng, but if she didn't tell Ji Lan about this, Shen Cui and Qi Zheng would make trouble in the future. Ji Lan must blame her for the matter.

Ji Cheng stood up and resigned, leaving behind Ji Lan and Shen Cui's mother and daughter to talk. She was still thinking about the wink Yu Qian'er gave her just now.

"Girl, it's Mr. Hao." Yu Qian'er said.

"What's the matter with Hao Ren?" Ji Cheng asked, because he helped him last time, Ji Cheng even gave him back the handle on Hao Ren he was holding, so he shouldn't have come to her for anything.

Yu Qian'er said: "I don't know, it's strange to say, he is the one lying under our carriage touching porcelain today, he is dressed in rags, his hands seem to be broken, I don't know what happened."

Ji Cheng was taken aback, Hao Ren got along like a fish in water in the capital, and with money from the Ji family to help him, how could he be reduced to the point where he had to do porcelain by himself?He obviously wanted to see him, but because he had no chance, he had no choice but to make such a bad move.

But Hao Ren knew about Orchid Flower Lane, so he just had to go and tell the concierge, and someone would come to pass on the message to him.Unless someone has been staring at him, and the other party knows his relationship with Orchid Lane.
