Colorful

Chapter 187 I want to mention and leave (5)
Ji Cheng cared about Cui Long's face, beckoned the little girl over, caught up with the mother who announced the good news, and gave a tael of silver as a reward.

Cui Long's pregnancy was not something to be happy about for Ji Cheng, but thanks to Shen Cui's incident today, Ji Cheng didn't have to force a smile, and just kept his face light.

By the way, Ji Cheng is really not young now, he is already in his twenties, and there are not many women at her age who have no children.

What's even more amazing is that this time when Shen Zheng got married, the eldest aunt Shen Yun and the third aunt Shen Yuan didn't come to help because of their inconvenient health.Shen He didn't know what was going on, and he hadn't rushed to the capital yet.Ji Cheng couldn't help but think in his heart, could he be pregnant too?
The whole family's sisters-in-law were pregnant, which made Ji Cheng's "unusual" appear even more.

Ji Cheng was in a trance when he heard the little girl report that Shen Che had returned.It can't be said that Ji Cheng hasn't seen Shen Che for nearly a month. I heard that he goes back to Jiuliyuan every day, but most of the time it is when Ji Cheng is already asleep, and when he leaves is when Ji Cheng is busy.

Shen Che walked in from the outside wearing a navy blue gown with embroidered flying cranes and wishful patterns. The pattern was woven in bright blue, which added bright colors to the originally dark robe, showing his elegance and suaveness different from others. Come.

Because he also took up his post in the Yamen anyway, and now because of the great victory in Leyuanguan, he became an official in Dali Temple. Shen Che's current clothes are no longer as colorful as they were a few years ago, and they are a little less fashionable than before. The dandyism looks more and more noble and elegant.

Men are not as afraid of the passage of time as women are. At Shen Che's age, it is because of years of experience and precipitation that he becomes more and more charming. It seems that the fragrant and intoxicating aroma of old wine can be smelled without opening it.

Ji Cheng had to admit that if she didn't know Shen Che, if she saw him on the street, she might yearn for him and lose her mind.In fact, she didn't know what changed in Shen Che's body, Ji Cheng only knew that she couldn't move her eyes when she looked at Shen Che, and there was an urge to not want to lose.

This is also the reason why Ji Cheng always can't muster up the courage to go to Shen Che for a showdown, so he hangs half-dead like this, at least she is still his wife.But if she really left, and seeing his wives and concubines and children and grandchildren many years later, Ji Cheng would not dare to think about that scene.

Ji Cheng stared at Shen Che almost forgetfully, but Shen Che didn't even glance at her.

As soon as the old lady saw Shen Che coming in, she asked: "Have you heard about A Cui? Oh, what a worry, it seems like you can't let it go without making a scene every month. It makes everyone in the house Tired of taking care of her affairs. It's hard for your daughter-in-law to rush about her affairs in hot weather."

The old lady premised on Ji Cheng's contribution to Shen Che, that is, she wanted to pull and pull and the two little enemies, but Shen Che said as if she didn't hear: "I already know, and I also asked someone to inquire about it, the old ancestor Don't worry too much."

The old lady said: "How can I not worry about it? Ah Cui has a bad temper and often quarrels with Qi Zheng. When she comes back, we are not helping the Qi family to reprimand her, but this time I heard that Ah Cheng said that Qi Zheng has already started to fight." Well, beat Ah Cui so shamelessly, what should we do? When she was in our house, we couldn't bear to touch her, but now she is being bullied like this."

The old lady let out a long sigh.

Sure enough, it was to protect her weaknesses, even if her own baby was crooked, she couldn't tolerate being bullied by others.

Shen Che is not as distressed as the old lady when Shen Cui was beaten: "I can't slap her. If Ah Cui hadn't gone too far, with Qi Zheng's utilitarianism, he would never have dared to hit her. Ah Cui's temper is too arrogant , when things happen, she is sure that she is right, and others are wrong, and she never bows her head. The good life was messed up by herself, and there was a disturbance in three or five days. You old man can manage this time, can't you still Can you take care of her forever?"

Ji Cheng lowered her eyes and slapped her eyelashes quickly. I don't know if she is too sensitive, but there is always a sense of Shen Che pointing out something.

Ji Cheng raised his head to look at Shen Che, but Shen Che stood up without any notice and said to the old lady, "I will take care of this matter."

Seeing that Shen Che was about to leave, the old lady said, "Your wife is also tired all day today, so why don't you go back together."

Shen Che said after hearing the words: "I won't go back to Jiuliyuan, there are still some things outside."

The old lady complained: "Look at you, you are busier than the people in the Zhengshitang, aren't you?" , "How long has it been since you had dinner at home? Thanks to your virtuous daughter-in-law, if it were someone else, there would be trouble."

Shen Che didn't speak, but turned his head and glanced at Ji Cheng.

Those eyes were full of sarcasm, ridicule, and disdain, which made Ji Cheng feel cold, and he was so stunned that he didn't even notice when Shen Che left.

In fact, although a person's eyes are the window to the soul, but you should ask yourself, apart from the eye gum that exists objectively, can you really see clearly the other person's heart through those eyes?

I'm afraid, most of the time you just see what you think you will see from those eyes.

The old lady looked at Ji Cheng's stupefied and sad look, and couldn't help but sigh, and pulled her to her side and said, "Don't be sad, Archer's temper has not been taken care of, it will be fine in a few years. He Ah, I was spoiled by me when I was a child, and he chased him so hard that he didn't even look at him, according to me, you should ignore him." It may be said that the old lady has a certain temper towards Shen Che. understanding.

Listening to the old lady's joke, Ji Cheng wanted to put on a perfunctory smile, but the corners of her mouth couldn't curl up like a weight.

The old lady sighed, she has seen everything about these two little friends in the past few months.Every time Ji Cheng saw Shen Che, his eyes never moved away, and he said affectionately that the old lady couldn't bear to blame her.Shen Che, on the other hand, was indeed too cold-hearted. He was the one who wanted to marry back in spite of all opposition, but now it's only a few months before he let go, and the old lady sighed.

Ji Cheng's heart still hasn't calmed down yet, she was so dazed that she didn't know what she was waiting for these days, but today she suddenly woke up, no matter what she was waiting for, it couldn't happen, Instead, she made her life a joke. The ending was her own choice, so what right did she have to regret it?

Ji Cheng was flustered, his eye circles were slightly red, and he couldn't hold back his impulsiveness and said: "My ancestor, I... I think..." But before Ji Cheng could say the word "heli", he was caught by Cui who came in. Mammy interrupted.

At night, the old lady tossed and turned, unable to sleep no matter what, none of these one or two made her worry.Although Ji Cheng didn't finish his sentence, the old lady could almost guess what she wanted to say.

Since she couldn't sleep, the old lady simply put on her clothes and sat up, and asked someone to find Shen Che.

In the middle of the night, the girl didn't know what important things happened, so she ran to the Jiuli courtyard without any delay.

It's just that Shen Che hasn't come back yet, so the little girl had no choice but to wait outside, and didn't dare to disturb Ji Cheng, because the old lady had ordered that she couldn't let the second young lady know.

Shen Che only returned to Shen's mansion when the moon was in full swing. At that time, the old lady hadn't fallen asleep yet, and he didn't care about changing clothes, so he hurried to Ruiyingtang.

"Why is the old ancestor still not resting so late?" Shen Che walked over to adjust the old lady's backrest.

The old lady raised her hand and pinched Shen Che: "You smell of rouge all over your body, where did you go to fool around? I thought you would be able to take care of me when we got married. I think that girl Ji Cheng is also incompetent." .”

Shen Che said a little wearily: "I just had some wine outside, where are you fooling around?" Da Qin's banquet habit has always been to invite female officials to accompany the wine, so it is not uncommon for him to smell of rouge.

Seeing that Shen Che's spirit is not good, the old lady is also worried.Others may not be able to notice Shen Che's changes, but the old lady is very clear about it.In the past, at this moment, Shen Che must have made jokes to make her go to sleep happily, but in recent months, even he himself can't laugh, so how can he have the ability to make her happy?
Discord between husband and wife is the most hurtful thing.The old lady was actually a little annoyed at Ji Cheng today, she actually wanted to say the words of reconciliation.No matter how bad Shen Che is, the old lady is always partial to her grandson.

But at this moment, the old lady saw that Shen Che also looked sleepy, and suddenly felt that it might not be a bad thing for the two of them to get back together.At least Shen Che can remarry someone he likes, and he doesn't have to be like this now, with a wife who is not close to him, and she doesn't know when she will be able to embrace her great-grandson.

"I see that you and Cheng girl are also at odds with each other. She has been in the door for so long and she hasn't seen any movement in her stomach. If you really don't like it, you might as well divorce, so that you and her will not be like your parents in the future." The old lady said These words are not without a tentative heart, the old man, no matter how angry he is, he is still trying to persuade him to make peace and not to persuade him to divide.

Shen Che squinted his eyes when he heard the words: "Why did the ancestor bring up the reconciliation so well? Don't you still want to be a peacemaker between me and Ji Cheng this afternoon?"

The old lady thought to herself: Well, you know everything, and you still pretend to be busy with me?

"He Li was proposed by Ji Cheng, right?" Shen Che's voice was very low and calm, so that no one could detect the turbulent waves behind his voice.

The old lady hid her heart and said: "No. I just watched Cui girl's commotion for three days and five days, and I was afraid that you would follow in the footsteps."

It's just that the old lady's thoughts can't be hidden from Shen Che, she is the most kind-hearted, how could she mention the word "heli" for no reason?

Shen Che smirked, but he didn't expect that he would finally be waiting for these two words, and finally said slowly with a gloomy face: "Our family does not have a reconciled daughter-in-law."

While Shen Che's face was gloomy, Ji Cheng didn't fall asleep, and was scratching his hair in frustration.Fortunately, she didn't finish that sentence this afternoon. It was just a momentary impulse of grievance, and she was really reluctant to calm down.

Ji Cheng was really afraid that the old lady would notice something at that time, because although the old lady was old, she was very shrewd.
