Chapter 156 Marrying into the Shen Family (3)
Ji Cheng couldn't lose without demeanor, so he looked at Shen Che with a smile and said, "Go ahead."

Shen Che said: "Put your bed into storage."

Shen Che's request was so outrageous that Ji Cheng forgot to answer.

"How?" Shen Che raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Ji Cheng nodded arrogantly.

Shen Che stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll go to bed first."

Ji Cheng looked at Shen Che suspiciously, she proposed to play chess and agreed to play dice just to delay the time, but Shen Che's purpose of playing dice now Ji Cheng suspects that he came for that bed.

"Is there something wrong with that bed?" Ji Cheng asked.

There was nothing wrong with the bed, it was just too shocking, it was exactly the same as the bed in Shen Che's dream.He had obviously never seen the dowry bed prepared for Ji Cheng by the Ji family before, but why did he dream of it?
The grape pattern, which symbolizes many children and grandchildren, is a good thing, but it is a pity that it was not he and Ji Cheng who turned upside down on this bed in his dream, but Liu Jun.Shen Che's heart was as hard as it was hard, and he was inexplicably startled. In a trance, he even felt that maybe Ji Cheng and Liu Jun were really destined to be married, but he snatched it away. Otherwise, there was no way to explain the grape bed.

Shen Che didn't really believe in these nonsense, but a few years ago, there was a famous person——Su Qingci.This person was born out of nowhere, and even Jing Shijun couldn't find out his origin. His poems are even more amazing, and he often made presumptuous and absurd remarks, saying that he came from the future and so on.

Emperor Jianping had heard of his name in the palace, and because of the poor health of the dragon, he believed in Su Qingci's future.It's just that the emperor was suspicious and asked Jing Shijun to investigate his background.Although this person is slippery and his bones are soft, he has never changed his words after repeated tortures. He described his so-called future vividly, such as tin carts and flying bird machines, to confuse people's hearts. Naturally, such a person cannot stay for long, let alone coax Emperor Jianping To go, had to erase.

Although Shen Che clearly said that he didn't believe it, he couldn't help but think later that with Su Qingci's brain, he would never be able to think of such strange things, especially the kind of court system he described that people yearn for.

In short, Su Qingci planted a little shadow of ghosts and gods in Shen Che's heart, and now comparing it to the bed in the dream, it is enough to startle Shen Che, after all, if you care about it, you will be confused.

So regardless of whether it is there or not, Shen Che must not have this bed, it is hard and taboo.But the bride's dowry bed is not something that can be thrown away casually. It just so happens that Ji Cheng also needs it, so he just goes along with it.

However, Shen Che's real reason would definitely be laughed at by Ji Cheng, he only said: "Boring."

Ji Cheng looked at the red sandalwood bed carved with grape patterns, and cursed in his heart: I don't know why.

The next day there was only a gleam of whiteness in the sky, Ji Cheng was still lying on the bed, Shen Che had already come down from the top courtyard, she hurriedly wrapped up her clothes and got up.

Evenings are not going to cool down in May, and when Shen Che is not around, Ji Cheng inevitably dresses a little thinly. He only wears a bib and a pair of thin trousers, with his fragrant shoulders and jade arms exposed to the wind. Here, even if she is wrapped in a thin shirt at the moment, it can't hide the precipitous scenery, and the belt is tightly tied, but it doesn't show the contours and curves.Although Ji Cheng is smart, he has no awareness of the messy obsession of his daughter's family.

This kind of inadvertent flirting is what really touches people's hearts, Shen Che didn't dare to look at it, turned his head away and threw the things in his hands on the bed, and then spread them out.

"What's this?" Ji Cheng looked over Shen Che's shoulder who was spreading the quilt, his face turned red, he didn't know whether it was from anger or shame.

"Where did you get this? Is it disgusting?" Ji Cheng had seen the quilt in Shen Che's hand before, and it was full of marks and unsightly.

It's just that Ji Cheng mistakenly thought that it was something used by Shen Che and other women. How could it not be disgusting? Even if she didn't care about Shen Che, this house belonged to the second young lady of the Shen family.

Shen Che didn't even turn his head back and said: "The ones you used yourself are also disgusting?"

Ji Cheng was choked by Shen Che, "You are talking nonsense. How long has it been? So you still have this habit?" Ji Cheng stabbed.

"That time at the Phoenix Terrace, I thought my daughter's family always had an inexplicable complex about the first time." Shen Che straightened up and said.

Ji Cheng's memory is very good. Back then Shen Che stabbed her with this sentence: "Didn't you say there was no bloodstain..." Ji Cheng saw the little red plums on the unfolded bed sheet, pointing at said, "What's that?"

Shen Che said: "Sprinkled chicken blood."

Ji Cheng said: "Didn't Empress Xiaoyi abolish the red test? So your family still has this bad habit?"

Shen Che said: "What is your family and my family? You have already married in, and you still have to divide us?"

Ji Cheng lowered his eyes and turned his face away.

"There are no bad habits, it's just that it's inevitable that the girls and women will break their mouths. One thing more is worse than one thing less." Shen Che said.

"If you cheat like this, can those women not see it?" Ji Cheng asked.Things from a few years ago, can it be the same as what was left last night?

"So I can only ask them to take a look." Shen Che said.

When he hurriedly went out after breakfast to serve tea to the elders at Rui Yingtang, Ji Cheng took the opportunity to pull Liu Ye'er aside and told her to tidy up the bed quickly and burn the bed sheet.

"It's just rice milk." When Shen Che and Ji Cheng walked out side by side, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Do you really believe it? Can you still use such things to open the eyes of those women?"

The blush on Ji Cheng's face lasted until Rui Yingtang, which made the old lady happy at the first sight. She tolerated Shen Che's refusal to marry for so many years, didn't she just hope that he could have a happy husband and wife?
Although Shen Zhuo, Duke of Qi, had some complaints about Shen Che's marriage, the old lady agreed, and An and the princess didn't ask. As a father-in-law, he didn't want to take care of his daughter-in-law.

Ji Cheng offered tea to the old lady and Shen Zhuo and his wife, and went to salute the second wife, Mrs. Huang, and of course Ji Lan and his wife.

Although the Shen family had separated, it was just that the wealth was not divided, so when the tea was served early in the morning, it was still the elders from the three prefectures who came.

Huang's attitude towards Ji Cheng is indifferent, she still remembers the incident when Shen Yu and her had a fight.I don't know whether Shen Che knows about Ji Cheng's seduction, if he knows about it, there will be trouble between the husband and wife.She also heard that even the fourth child has that kind of thought for Ji Cheng, this girl is not from a good family background, but she has a way of charming men, luckily Shen Yu didn't marry her.

The smile on Ji Lan's face was forced. She never dreamed that the old lady would marry Shen Che to Ji Cheng, and Shen Che had been picking and choosing for so many years, but he compromised on Ji Cheng. What a shame. The color makes the mind faint.Could it be that Shen Che lacks Ji Cheng's dowry?It seems that the big house is dead, and there is nothing more than a duke of the country.The more she compared with Ji Cheng, the more she felt that the wife she had chosen for Shen Jing was better, and suddenly she felt a sense of superiority in front of Princess Anhe.

In this life, Ji Lan was so overwhelmed by these two sisters-in-law that she couldn't lift her head up, but now in the next life, she will lose her stature.

Ji Lan handed the pre-prepared red envelope to Ji Cheng, and said earnestly: "You and Archer are not too young, so hurry up and spread the branches and leaves for our Shen family."

This is what every elder wants to say to Ji Cheng, only the bride is new to the house, as a wife who has been there, she knows that at this time, the new couple should not be put under too much pressure, otherwise even intercourse will become a task.

In fact, Ji Cheng knows the importance of spreading branches and leaves better than anyone else, and Shen Che is the only seedling of the big family, and he is really not young.As for Ji Cheng, if he really wanted to gain a foothold in the Shen family, he had to win a man in one fell swoop, and he had to do it as soon as possible.

So last night, even though Ji Cheng resisted, he didn't really want to escape the bridal chamber candles at that time, who knew that she was dozing off and gave Shen Che a pillow, and then slept in a separate room, which was regarded as a blow to Shen Che.

But tonight, she can no longer act according to her own temperament and preferences. Ji Cheng needs a son very much, and after she has a son, she will not bother to pay attention to Shen Che anymore.

After serving tea to the elders, Ji Cheng met with his two sisters-in-law. The brothers in the family were away except for Shen Yu, and the third son, Shen Zheng, was in the northwest with Shen Yu, and the rest had arrived.

When Shen Jing saw Ji Cheng, even though he wanted to say a thousand things in his heart, he never had a chance to say it, so he could only hang his head sadly.In order to prevent Li Rui from being overwhelmed, Ji Cheng pretended not to see Shen Jing's expression at all.

As for Brother Hong, he has really grown up, he is now a boy of eight or nine years old, although he is still a little childish, but the hankyness that belongs to children is almost invisible.

Ji Cheng called out "Brother Hong", and Brother Hong responded "Second Aunt", and there was no longer Sister Cheng or Aunt Cheng, which made Ji Cheng sigh for a while, and wanted to pat Brother Hong's head, but when he A trace of Shen Yu's shadow was seen on his body, Brother Hong was no longer a child who let her pinch his face and head.

After serving tea, the new daughter-in-law had to go to the Jiarong Hall at the back to meet the ancestors of the Shen family.This was Ji Cheng's first time entering Jiarong Hall. When she was celebrating the New Year in Shen's house that year, as a guest, she just stood outside and watched the men of Shen's family worship their ancestors in the hall.

The ancestral cards of the Shen family are lined up on the entire wall, and the one on the top row is Shen Du, the founding emperor of Daqi hundreds of years ago.

It was only then that Ji Cheng knew that the Duke of Qi's Shen family had once belonged to the Daqi royal family, no wonder Shen Che's nostrils were turned upside down.It's a pity that it's all passing, and there have been several dynasties since Daqi.

Coming out of Jiarong Hall, Ji Cheng had to go out to entertain the relatives of the Shen family, which was considered relatives.Shen Yun and Shen He were all there, and even Lu Yuan, who hadn't seen him for many years, was there. Shen Xian and Shen Cui were so close to each other that they couldn't be absent. , I feel that the whole life is beautiful.

Shen Xian stepped forward to embrace Ji Cheng and said: "At the beginning, I felt that we hit it off with each other and were very destined, but now it can be regarded as proof, isn't it true that we are destined? It's just that you are obviously younger than me, and you used to call me Sister Xian, but now you have to Instead, let me call you the second sister-in-law."

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "What's the matter, I see that the fourth sibling is younger than me, so why don't you call the fourth sister-in-law?"

All of a sudden everyone laughed, it was so lively when you answered one sentence after another, even though Shen He was dissatisfied with Ji Cheng in his heart, his mouth was sweeter than anyone else.

Only Shen Cui didn't speak much from the beginning to the end, as if she was a different person.Ji Cheng didn't have time to look at her carefully last night, but now he took a closer look, she was one year younger than Ji Cheng, only eighteen years old, but she looked like she was 23 or [-], and she brought some lifeless.

When there was a gap, and only Ji Cheng and Shen Cui were together, Shen Cui said: "I really didn't expect that you became my second sister-in-law in the end."

The cousin who used to rely on herself to live in the Shen family suddenly became the real master of the Shen family, while her married daughter became someone outside the fence instead. This gap made Shen Cui very psychologically unbalanced.

But Shen Cui will no longer say whatever she wants like a firecracker, and now she has learned to be scruples.So the straightforwardness of the girl's family has become the sourness of the woman's family: "If it hadn't happened to me, sister Cheng would not have moved to Ruiyingtang. It was a blessing in disguise."

Ji Cheng knew that Shen Cui was able to marry Shen Che because she misunderstood that she worked hard on the old lady, but this was a sweet misunderstanding, and it was better than she felt that she and Shen Che had an affair.

Shen Cui turned sideways and stood side by side with Ji Cheng, no longer looking at Ji Cheng's clean and flawless face, how could it look like her, there were faint spots on his forehead at a young age: "I remember when Sister Cheng persuaded Mine, it's just that I didn't listen to you. But why didn't my sister persuade me more? Seeing me fall into the quagmire, do you feel very happy?"

Ji Cheng sighed, although this person's superficial temperament can be changed by the environment, his nature is hard to change, and Shen Cui is still habitual in blaming others for his mistakes.

Shen Cui stood on tiptoe and leaned into Ji Cheng's ear: "I only heard about it after I married my husband. It turns out that my sister also had a heart for my husband back then, and she didn't hesitate to please that little bitch Qi Hua." Shen Cui smiled. It must be somewhat threatening.

Who didn't do a few stupid things when they were young?Ji Cheng recalled the flirtations between himself and Qi Zheng, and had to admit that he was a little blind.

Shen Cui didn't feel any fear on Ji Cheng's face, so she added: "But sister, don't worry, I won't tell second brother."

Ji Cheng smiled, Shen Cui's Sima Zhao's heart is really obvious, how difficult is it in the Qi family to threaten him so impatiently?At these ages, Cheng really hasn't bothered to inquire about Shen Cui's affairs, and now he has to inquire about it.

Shen Xian's husband, Zeng Xiuwen, had passed the Jinshi examination three years ago, and now he is working in the Imperial Academy. He only has to wait for the examination period to be released as a local official for a few years, and then return to Beijing to make his way to the top.

Shen Xian has been living in the capital for the past few years, and no one knows the news about the capital, so she is holding her young son and laughing at the moment.She is really a lucky person. She has been married to her for three years. The first one is a sister, and the second one gave birth to a son. There is no one in the Zeng family who doesn't like her.

Ji Cheng lightly took Brother Quan's chubby little hand. He was only three months old, his eyes were as bright as grapes, and he was so beautiful. with two small ones.

"Sister Xian, what's wrong with A Cui, it seems like a different person?" Ji Cheng asked Shen Xian in a low voice.

Shen Xian sighed, handed Brother Quan to the nurse next to her, pulled Ji Cheng aside and said, "She is injured, she hasn't conceived for several years, and Qi Zheng's mother is not in good health. Well, it's just procrastinating and only looking forward to seeing the grandson, so the Qi family is very anxious. A few times ago, the third aunt came to help Ah Cui to get ahead, but it has been three years, and she is not ashamed to take care of the son-in-law's house What happened inside. I heard that three months ago, Ah Cui slapped her girl Xianyun, but Qi Zheng took another concubine himself, who seems to be his distant cousin."

In this way, Ji Cheng can imagine that Shen Cui has a competitive nature. Even a person like Ji Cheng who has no great interests with her thinks that Ji Cheng stole her limelight, let alone two people with her. Sharing the husband-in-law's concubine, I'm afraid there will be a mess in the secret fight.

Ji Cheng covered his mouth with a round fan and said in a low voice: "Madam Qi is still there?" Looking at Qi Hua and Qi Zheng's appearance a few years ago, she thought that Qi's mother should have passed away long ago.

Shen Yuan smiled and tapped Ji Cheng's shoulder: "You are a narrow-minded ghost. But I also heard that she was critically ill several times, but nothing happened. It's just that Ah Cui's dowry has failed badly in the past few years. Look at her The one on her head is still the one she wore a few years ago, it's just turned golden."

People in the capital are unwritten when they go out to be guests. Clothes and jewelry that they once wore when they were guests at a banquet should be avoided when they go out to be guests next time.How many people have swollen faces to pretend to be fat, and borrow clothes and jewelry everywhere for this kind of attention.

"Why doesn't my aunt care?" Ji Cheng was a little puzzled, but Ji Lan really cares about face.

"You can manage it for a while, but you can't manage it for a lifetime. The outfit that the third aunt bought for Ah Cui will be borrowed by Qi Hua once or twice at most. She has complained about this several times." Shen Yuan said, "Besides, fourth brother When marrying a daughter-in-law, the ostentation is huge, and the dowry is also very generous. No matter how rich the third aunt is, how much can she take care of? In a few years, Ah Zheng will grow up and have to marry a daughter-in-law "Shen Zheng is Ji Lan's second son, he lives in the Shen family for five years, and he will be twelve this year.

Hearing Shen Xian's tone, Ji Cheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Listen to my sister, are you starting to worry about the future dowry and dowry of Sister E and Brother Quan right now?"

Shen Yuan smiled and pinched Ji Cheng's face: "You don't have to worry about it. I've seen your dowry list. Your father really loves you. I'm afraid he married the entire Ji family to you?"

This is a little exaggerated, mainly because outsiders don't know about the Ji family's wealth. Ji Cheng has been in charge of it for so many years, and the Ji family's wealth has doubled several times in her hands, which has long been beyond Shen Xian's estimation.

Ji Cheng said: "No matter how much dowry you have, it's dead money. I think it's time to make some money."
