Chapter 110: Finally Strike (4)
Ji Cheng was choked back by Shen Che, so it's good for her to rest assured, but just now Ji Cheng spoke so confidently because he misunderstood that Shen Che was standing behind her. It may not be that tough.

On the return boat, Ji Cheng told Shen Che about Yan Xiagu: "I have already boasted about Haikou, if I can't do this, I'm afraid my prestige will be ruined. Cousin Che thinks, can we build an inn in Yan Xiagu?" Woolen cloth?"

Shen Che said: "I said, I will fully cooperate with you. Leave the matter of Yan Xiagu to me."

Refreshing, in fact Ji Cheng quite likes Shen Che's strength, as long as the target is not her.

Then Ji Cheng chattered again and told Shen Che the result of the discussion between himself and Tong Xiang and the others. When she was talking, her eyebrows and eyes were full of excitement and joy that could not be hidden.

Ji Cheng is a woman, but her father hated her for being a man, and Ji Cheng also hated himself for not being a man.If it is a man, there will be no disaster of wishing Jijun. If it is a man, she can really take the helm of Ji's family and do what she wants.

As a woman, what Ji Cheng has now is only temporary.Ji Cheng understood what her father meant, that is to let her do her best to train the next generation - the son of Ji Yuan and J Ze.When the younger generation can support the family, Ji Cheng's good bow should be put away.

It is true that Ji Cheng can choose not to marry, but when he grows old, his status will be a bit embarrassing. There is no room for two tigers. She used to be at the helm of Ji's family. When her nephews grow up, won't they be afraid of her?Are there not many examples of relatives turning into blood feuds for property?
Besides, even if there is no discord, how could Ji Cheng be willing to remain silent and be an insignificant aunt?

Because Ji Qing gave Ji Cheng a chance, which directly fueled her ambition, or "ambition". She has something she wants to do, such as what she is doing now.

"No wonder people often say that traveling thousands of miles is worse than reading thousands of books. It would be great if I could go to the Western Regions myself." Ji Cheng sighed.If she can marry He Cheng, she will be able to sit in Xizhou, and she is sure to persuade He Cheng to do things according to her mind.

Shen Che looked at Ji Cheng's scorching eyes, like the brightest Chang Gung star in the night sky, his whole body was so radiant from the inside out that people couldn't take his eyes off it, like a sudden erection in the empty and rainy mountains. Rainbow, magnificent and amazing.

"There will be a chance." Shen Che said.

As soon as Ji Cheng heard it, he immediately asked: "Really?" Soon the overall plan appeared in Ji Cheng's mind.Her desire to find a marriage in the capital is completely useless, Ji Cheng is thinking about returning to northern Shanxi as soon as possible, wondering if brother Ziyun will accept her?

Although Ji Cheng didn't want to admit the benefits of sleeping with Shen Che, Shen Che seemed to be good to all the women he had a past with. From Fang Xuan to Rui Yu later, and Wang Liniang in between, Shen Che took care of them.Ji Cheng felt that if he asked Shen Che for something in the future, he would definitely not stand idly by.

That being the case, she simply took a step back, and Ji Cheng returned to northern Shanxi. No matter whether she could continue her relationship with Ling Ziyun, her father would not prevent her from going to the Western Regions.

"Then can I go back to northern Shanxi as soon as possible, and then go to the Western Regions?" Ji Cheng asked.

Shen Che said: "Not yet, the matter of ordnance has not been straightened out, you should not move now."

It was only now that Ji Cheng remembered this episode, she was too excited to notice.

When Ji Cheng returned to the surface from the ground, it was like a different world, and he felt as if he was more and more lingering in the underground world.

When the ice floe in the river melted in February, Su Yun and Mrs. Su were going to go south by boat and go back to Suzhou to get married.In the past few days, Shen Xian and the others were busy saying goodbye to Su Yun, but Ji Cheng did not participate, and Shen Xian and the others also knew that Ji Cheng must have a grudge against Su Yun.

On this day, I went to the pier to see off Su Yun and the others. Shen Yuan patted Ji Cheng's hand and said, "I haven't bothered to talk to you these days. Ah Xun has already asked the princess to take the post to invite Imperial Physician Liu, Besides, the root cause of your illness was also to save Brother Hong. My mother is so grateful to you! Don't worry about this marriage, maybe you will find nowhere to find it, and it will be free. How about time. If you are so good, God will not fail to take pity on you."

Recently, because of Wang Concubine's pregnancy, Imperial Physician Liu has been on standby in the palace, and finally got an oral order to go home and have a look, so she was invited to Shen's residence by Princess Anhe's post.

Ji Cheng looked at Imperial Physician Liu who was taking her pulse, and waited nervously for him to speak.

"The girl's pulse is strong and powerful. Although she suffered from cold and dampness, as long as she takes good care of her, she will recover within a year. Drink more ginger tea on weekdays and keep warm in winter. It will be fine for childbirth." Doctor Liu said.

As soon as these words came out, not only Ji Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, but Shen Xian and Shen Xun who were listening beside her were also happy for her.

Imperial Physician Liu is the best at gynecology, and his words must be much louder than that "half-handed" doctor Shen Che.

"I knew there would be great blessings after disasters, and sister Cheng will be fine." Shen Xun said happily, "It's a pity..."

It's a pity that Mrs. He has already arranged another marriage for He Cheng.When Mrs. He saw her daughter-in-law, she didn't only see Ji Cheng alone, but because she liked Ji Cheng the most, she wanted to ask He Cheng to marry him. Since Ji Cheng had such a problem with his body, Mrs. He was anxious He wanted to make a marriage arrangement for He Cheng so that he could go back to Xizhou, so he turned around and made an appointment with another girl.

Although Ji Cheng was slightly regretful, the strange thing was that he didn't feel much ups and downs about the failed marriage. On the contrary, Shen Xian and Shen Xun were very guilty, as if half of her life would be lost if the marriage failed. of.

After leaving Ji Cheng's small courtyard, Shen Xun and Shen Xian went to the old lady's house, and the old lady was also very concerned about Ji Cheng's condition.

Hearing that Shen Xun said that she would be able to take care of her in less than a year, the old lady said "Amitabha": "She is still young and has a good foundation. Since Imperial Physician Liu said so, then there must be no problem. She also understands Medicinal food, but..."

However, Ji Lan was imprisoned in the family temple, and now that Aunt Fang is in charge of the third room, Ji Cheng, Ji Lan's niece, may not be able to be taken care of in the third room.

The old lady thought for a while: "Well, let Cheng girl move to live in the small yard behind Rui Yingtang. I have a small kitchen here, and she can do whatever she wants. If you want to say that this way of nourishing your health, the older you get, the better it will be." Experience, she is surrounded by little girls, so she may not know the seriousness."

Shen Xian looked at the old lady in surprise, wondering why she suddenly valued Ji Cheng so much.

The old lady stroked Shen Xun's hair, and then looked at Shen Xian. She knew that her granddaughter was very sensitive, so she just took the opportunity to teach them: "In the end, the root of Cheng girl's illness is also because of Brother Hong. Yes, now her marriage has broken down again because of Xun's talkativeness. Our Shen family owes her. When your great-grandfather was alive, he would rather be betrayed than me, otherwise our Shen family would not Today, no one can stand up alone, relying on others to help. If we don't treat Cheng girl better, I'm afraid everyone's hearts will be chilled." The old lady said.

Shen Yuan nodded straightly upon hearing this.

Shen Xun said sullenly: "In the final analysis, it's all my fault."

The old lady nodded the tip of Shen Xun's nose: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. Now you know that the misfortune comes from your mouth, right? Let's see if you dare not keep your mouth shut in the future."

Shen Xun hurriedly shook his head and said, "But I don't dare again."

In fact, they all knew that Su Yun had passed the news to He Ning, but since Su Yun had already left, everyone stopped mentioning it.The old lady pointed Shen Xun because, even if Su Yun was wrong, the root cause still lies with Shen Xun.

When Ji Cheng heard the news that the old lady wanted to move to her yard by herself, she was slightly taken aback. Although she knew that the old lady would definitely feel sorry for herself, she never expected that she would do this.

You must know that the girl's family can be raised in Mrs. Shen's yard, and she will definitely benefit a lot from studying with her for a year and a half. In the future, when you talk about getting married, you can also be looked up to by others.

It's just that it's not so convenient for Ji Cheng to move to the old lady's yard, at least it's not easy to get to Jiuliyuan from the secret road.

But since the old lady had already spoken, Ji Cheng naturally had to act flattered, but he packed up the cage in a day, and moved to Rui Yingtang's small yard early in the morning on the third day.

Only when this person lives together can you discover many things about the other person that are different from what you imagined.

For example, one day when Ji Cheng couldn't sleep and got up early in the morning, he saw a graceful old lady wearing a white silk jacket and doing Tai Chi in the yard.

So much so that Ji Cheng didn't dare to move his legs after taking half of his legs. The old lady turned around and saw her withholding her hands and said, "Why do you wake up so early?"

"Can't sleep." Ji Cheng said.

"Are you accepting the bed?" the old lady asked again.

Ji Cheng shook his head: "No. It's just that I don't sleep very well."

The old lady said: "You little girls just don't cherish your bones. You will regret it when you reach my age. What's wrong with being unable to sleep at such a young age? Now you can't see the consequences. You will know in a few years. , age faster than others."

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "I'm also worried, but I can't drink calming soup all the time. But you, ancestor, it's still cold today, why did you wake up to do Tai Chi this early in the morning before dawn?"

The old lady said: "It was all caused by Archer. He was only 12 years old that year. I just woke up after a serious illness. He made trouble for me to learn Tai Chi. I was lazy to move. He came to Ruiying Hall every day at this time. Knocking on the door, I let people ignore him, he dared to beat gongs and drums at the gate of my yard, and he was not convinced. Now I am used to practicing, and I feel uncomfortable when I get up early and don’t practice.”

Ji Cheng didn't expect that Shen Che would still be like that, so he couldn't help laughing out loud.Then he remembered that it seemed that he hadn't seen Shen Che for a long time. It is said that if he was in the mansion, he would not mention it at night, but he should come to pay the old lady good-bye in the morning.Ji Cheng lived in Ruiyingtang these days, and even Shen Yu who was too busy to see anyone on weekdays saw him several times, but Shen Che couldn't see him.

But when Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, Ji Cheng was watching the old lady doing Tai Chi, and he followed suit, and then learned to serve the old lady to wash and wash. Just as he was about to have breakfast, he saw Shen Che coming in.

The old lady scolded Shen Che, to the effect that she complained that he didn't know where he was fooling around again.Of course, in front of Ji Cheng, the old lady would never say the word fooling around, but the meaning is similar.

Shen Che listened to the old lady's scolding with a smile, and nodded his head from time to time.Looking at it from the side, Ji Cheng only thought it was funny, but he couldn't imagine that there was a time when Shen Che was so obedient.

After the old lady had finished scolding, Shen Che personally held the bowl containing almond milk to the old lady: "Grandmother, take a break, drink some almond milk and continue to criticize."

The old lady was so angry that she pointed at Shen Che's nose and said: "If you are angry with me again, believe it or not, I will marry you a pockmarked woman and come back to deal with you."

Shen Che repeatedly begged for mercy, looked at Ji Cheng, as if he had just discovered her: "Sister Cheng is filial, she came so early."

"Your younger sister, Cheng, lives in the small courtyard at the back now. Tell me about you. You haven't come home for a long time. What do you know about the affairs of this house? It's like a guest." The old lady scolded again. .

The eldest girl Yun Jin kept covering her mouth when she heard it, but she knew that the old lady was also afraid that she would make her beloved grandson impatient by scolding too much, so she stepped forward and said: "Old ancestor, breakfast is already served, fresh out of the cage Goose oil rolls with pine nuts, and radish crisps with thousands of layers.”

These two are Shen Che's favorite food. When Yun Jin said this, the old lady asked Shen Che impatiently: "Have you had breakfast yet? Are you going to go out again early in the morning?"

"Where can it be? Isn't this just thinking about the radish crisps in the ancestor's house, so I came here early?" Shen Che laughed.

The old lady gave Shen Che an angry look: "It's not too bad."

The two grandparents stared at Ji Cheng in awe. When the old lady came in front of Shen Che, she turned into another brother Hong.

During the meal, Ji Cheng consciously stood aside and served the old lady with vegetables. The old lady said: "You are also Archer's younger sister, so you don't need to pay attention to those formalities. Let's sit down and eat together. You practice with me for a while." Tai Chi in the morning, aren't you hungry?"

Ji Cheng sat down obediently, and the old lady instructed again: "Drink the ginger tea mixed with milk first, and warm your stomach before eating."

Ji Cheng has lived in Ruiyingtang for more than ten days, and he is no longer unfamiliar with him when he first came. Hearing what the old lady said, he smiled sweetly and said yes.

Old people just like to see smiling faces, so Ji Cheng's cheeks are much more tired these days than usual.

Shen Che left after breakfast, Ji Cheng also went to school, and the old lady sat alone with her mind full of thoughts.

Madam Cao sat next to her and took out the soles of the shoes. She has made the old lady's shoes for decades.Mammy Cao rubbed the long needle on her hair with pomade, looked at the old lady and said, "Miss, what's the matter? You sighed, but you're worried about Archer's marriage again?"

The old lady didn't hide her thoughts from this old slave who had been with her for decades: "Do you feel that Archer treats Cheng girl differently?"

Mammy Cao said in surprise, "I don't think so, what did Miss see?"

The old lady shook her head, "I always feel something is wrong."

"I think it's Miss, you are too worried about Archer's marriage, so it's not right to see anything. Anyway, the old slave didn't find any difference between Archer and Cheng girl."

"It's the eyes." The old lady suddenly said, "It's the wrong eyes. He looked at Cheng girl several times during the meal."

Cao Mama just thought it was funny: "Cheng girl is so beautiful, let alone Archer, even when we see her, we want to look at her more, what's wrong with that?"

"I hope I'm overthinking it." The old lady sighed, "Actually, if Archer really likes it, there's nothing wrong with Cheng girl. You know, with Archer's temperament, if you really marry him with someone he doesn't like, , That’s harming the girl. It’s just that I’m really worried about Cheng girl’s body. Anhe is only Archer, and the eldest brother’s incense is on Archer, so what if I can’t conceive?”

Although Imperial Physician Liu said that Ji Cheng could recover, the old lady was afraid of what might happen, especially when the chance of this event fell on Shen Che, the old lady couldn't bear it.

"Archer fell in love with Cheng girl? I'm afraid I can't." Cao Mama felt that the old lady was a little confused, but after only a few more glances, she thought of raising children, "Archer is a filial person. Back then If you like that person so much, miss, if you just say a word, he will give up. If you are afraid that Archer will look at Cheng girl, when Archer comes to pay his respects in the future, you can ask Cheng girl to avoid it for a while."

The old lady sighed again: "How can it be so easy?" At the beginning when Shen Che was young, she could let her make decisions, but after that, every time the old lady wanted to propose marriage with Shen Che, she always Be careful, lest it bring up his sadness again and ruin the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.

If Shen Che really fell in love with Ji Cheng this time, the old lady would be powerless to stop her.The son couldn't help himself, not to mention that with Shen Che's temper, he could do anything.

Ji Cheng didn't know the old lady's troubles, she was busy with other things.Because the secret passage under her bed was dug through at noon today.

How could Shen Che not know about Ji Cheng's moving house?Even when other people are outside, eyeliner is everywhere.On the first night when Ji Cheng moved to Ruiyingtang, he heard movement in the ground, and was so frightened that he thought the old house was haunted, but it turned out that Shen Che was asking someone to dig a secret.

If it wasn't for fearing that the loud noise would alarm the other people in Rui Yingtang, the secret passage could be dug out within two days.It was great now, Ji Cheng no longer needed to drill a well, and he could easily enter the secret passage by flipping over the bed.

In the evening, when Ji Cheng met Shen Che at Lanyue Zhai, he brought her two pieces of news.

"When the Su family's boat was passing through Taihu Lake, it encountered a strong wind and was blown over. No one survived. The local people said that it was caused by the anger of the Dragon King. Those fishermen and people who lived on the water sacrificed animals for three days It will be done in one day." Shen Che said.

Ji Cheng didn't dare to look into Shen Che's eyes, so he could only stare at his hands making tea.This matter was indeed done by her, and it was settled with a banknote. The black market is indeed a good place.
