Colorful

Chapter 143 Reluctant to give up love (3)
But Fang Xuan always knew what he wanted, and he also knew that Shen Che was too young at that time, and his feelings were too hot, so it was easier to cool down.At that time, Shen Che was a proud young man, he had everything, and could give her anything, but the only thing he couldn't give was a sense of security.This is the deadliest thing for women.

So Fang Xuan chose to stay away. She used to be extremely proud of her sanity, but in Gumo, when Shen Che appeared in front of her and saved her from danger, Fang Xuan collapsed in front of him for the first time and couldn't restrain herself. .When she was most desperate, she fantasized that Shen Che could appear in front of her, but she also knew that it was impossible, but she never thought that he would really appear.

With the brilliance she expected and imagined.

After reminiscing about the past, there is nothing else to say.Fang Xuan didn't speak, and Shen Che just sat there, silent to each other, but there was an inexplicable bond lingering in the air.

A man and a woman who have been very familiar with each other, and see each other after many years, actually need to rack their brains to think of a topic to talk about.

"Would you like to see what I've gained over the years?" Fang Xuan asked.

Shen Che nodded, with a faint smile on his lips.

Fang Xuan has gained a lot, including music scores and musical instruments, all of which are weird and unimaginable musical instruments.Fang Xuan almost couldn't wait to show Shen Che her treasure: "You can't imagine that there will be such a strange tone, and it will be made into a song, which will not lose to Zhongyuan Yale at all."

Fang Xuan pointed to those musical instruments and music scores, and counted the origins one by one. When she was proud, she even picked it up and played a short section, happily.

It took Fang Xuan a long time to realize that Shen Che hadn't interjected, only occasionally answering her self-question with an "um".

"You're not interested?" Fang Xuan stopped in surprise.

Shen Che smiled helplessly.

Only then did Fang Xuan suddenly realize: "So you...you play the flute so well, I thought you liked the rhythm, I..."

Shen Che rubbed his forehead and said with a smile: "I can't even imagine how I would do that kind of thing back then." Just because Fang Xuan liked it, he practiced flute hard, just to win the favor of the beauties.

Fang Xuan couldn't help but find it funny, and after laughing, the aftertaste was a bit bitter.Shen Che's current truth, on the contrary, might as well lie to her all the time.

Even a person as indifferent as Fang Xuan couldn't help but think, now it's just seeing the newcomers laughing and not hearing the old ones cry?
As for the so-called newcomers, if they knew Fang Xuan's words, they would definitely refute loudly. Obviously, the newcomers were crying and the old ones were laughing.

Ji Cheng never expected to meet Shen Che's sweetheart Fang Xuan so unexpectedly.I heard that people's hearts are always very soft when they are around their sweetheart. Although Ji Cheng is still not sure what benefits Fang Xuan's return to the capital will do to her, she thinks there is no harm. Mess around under the nose.

But don't talk about Cao Cao, even if you think about Cao Cao, Ji Cheng was thinking about whether Fang Xuan could restrain Shen Che, when Nan Gui walked in and said, "Girl, my master wants you to go to Jiuliyuan."

The message from Nangui was naturally to let Ji Cheng take the secret path. Ji Cheng was astonished at why Shen Che suddenly saw her, but he was very resistant to Jiuliyuan in his heart.

Those dark years are all abscesses in Ji Cheng's heart, and it hurts when he touches them.

"Understood, I'll change into my clothes and go." Ji Cheng said.

Wearing a skirt with a stand-up collar in June in midsummer, Ji Cheng was extremely prepared for Shen Che.She didn't go to see Shen Che through the secret path, but instead led Nan Gui from Qingyuan to Jiuliyuan graciously.

The gate of Jiuliyuan was locked at this time, Ji Cheng knocked on the copper ring several times, only then did the gatekeeper boy open the door.

"Miss Ji?" Yu Yi, who was called by Xiao Tong, looked at Ji Cheng in great surprise.

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "Cousin Che sent someone to pass on the message that he was looking for me for something, but I don't know what it is, does sister know a thing or two?"

Yuyi hasn't recovered yet, as far as she knows, no one was sent to send a message to Ji Cheng, but maybe the second young master sent another person. Although Yuyi is the big girl next to Shen Che, she has many things to do. It is also unclear.

"Is that so? Miss Cheng, wait a moment, I'll report to Young Master." Yu Yi said.

Ji Cheng nodded, and sat down in the hallway. The little boy was also obedient, and served him with tea.

Yuyi went back to the upper courtyard and asked Nishang who was wiping the tea set, "Miss Cheng Cheng is here, and he said that the young master invited her here."

Nishang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's because of the newly talked about marriage."

Yu Yi pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I thought so too, this is too impatient." Although the matter between Ji Cheng and Liu's family was not considered Shen Chebao's matchmaker, he did talk about it in it, and many people in the family knew about it .

"I'll go and talk to you, Young Master." Yuyi raised his legs and walked out, wanting to go up to the main courtyard to find Shen Che, "I've never seen anyone so impatient, they came back after they were all locked up."

Nishang said: "Young Master is not on top, I just came down from above, if Young Master has really delivered a message to Miss Cheng, I think it should be on the top right now, I'll go up and talk."

Yuyi smiled and said nothing, she has been in Jiuliyuan for more than a year, but she is still just a handyman, she wants to see if Nishang can control everything, and finally can climb Gao Zhier.

Nishang didn't care about Yuyi's thoughts, she walked up the path up the mountain, rang the copper bell outside the wooden door, and said loudly: "My lord, Miss Cheng is here."

There was no movement inside, Nishang listened again, and after a while, a deep voice came from inside: "Call her up."

"Yes." Although Nishang answered, she seemed to be in a daze.This small courtyard on the top was never allowed to be entered casually, but his son casually responded and asked Ji Cheng to go up, making Nishang suddenly think of the debris that was all over the ground that day.

Nishang has served Shen Che for many years, and it is rare for him to get angry, let alone throwing cups. She was very curious at the time, and she didn't know who threw so many cups in Jiuliyuan. Nishang instinctively felt that it should be a woman.

Nishang walked down the hill in a trance, and when he saw Ji Cheng sitting in the hall wearing a cherry pink thin skirt from a distance, he suddenly felt that it was not so strange.

Ji Cheng followed Nishang to the main courtyard floor, saw her turn around and said, "Miss Cheng, go up by yourself, the young master is waiting for you up there."

Ji Cheng knew a little bit about the rules of Jiuliyuan, so he just nodded to Nishang and went up the mountain.

Yuyi was standing on the fork in the road looking out, seeing Ji Cheng going up by himself, he immediately widened his eyes in surprise, and asked Nishang who was coming this way in a low voice, "Why did you let her go up?"

Nishang glanced sharply at Yu Yi, who immediately shrugged his shoulders, not daring to ask any more questions.

But when Ji Cheng came to the wooden door, her palms were sweating, she wiped it on her skirt, took a deep breath, then pulled the copper bell, and then pushed the door open to enter.

In the small courtyard, Shen Che was sitting on the bamboo steps in front of the house, with one leg bent on the second step and the other leg stretched diagonally on the third step, lazily.

Under Shen Che's gaze, Ji Cheng moved forward a few steps with difficulty, and stopped three feet away from him.In front of Shen Che, she always said a lot and made mistakes, so Ji Cheng didn't intend to speak first at all.

This person in front of him is always used to using silence to make people uneasy, Ji Cheng gritted his teeth and insisted, resisting the urge to avoid Shen Che's eyes.

"It's rare to see you wearing pink." Shen Che said.

Ji Cheng tilted her ear towards Shen Che's direction, she thought she had heard wrong, but looking at Shen Che's expression, she felt that he was confused again.

It is true that Ji Cheng seldom wears pink, and always feels that she is too immature and too delicate. Her appearance is already clear and weak, and pink will only make her look more vulnerable.She herself doesn't like such weak colors. Her clothes are mostly green or blue, and she really needs to change them, and at most they are light yellow.

However, the old lady of Shen's mansion seems to like her daughter's pink makeup and jade decoration very much. During the year Ji Cheng lived in Shen's mansion, she would not miss her when the master of Shen's mansion made clothes every season. Ji Cheng can make his own decisions, especially after living in Ruiyingtang, the fabrics that the old lady chooses for her are all tender and weak.

The only stand-up collar skirt that Ji Cheng could find was this cherry pink or aqua red.

But at this moment, Shen Che suddenly talked about her clothes, which was absolutely unexpected by Ji Cheng. He thought it was a journey of swords and fires, but he didn't expect the opening remarks to be so "comfortable", so that Ji Cheng didn't know how to answer.

"Have you sent the Liu family's geng post?" Shen Che asked again.

Ji Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, she was really impatient with the hypocritical greetings, the two of them had already torn their faces, so what's the point of pretending to be calm?
"Yeah." Ji Cheng nodded.Mrs. Liu was very satisfied with Ji Cheng, so she readily wrote Liu Jun's geng post to Ji Cheng's sister-in-law.And Fan Zengli immediately sent Geng Tie back to North Shanxi.Just wait for Ji Qing to receive Liu Jun's Geng Note, and then write Ji Cheng's Geng Note, the two families will be considered engaged.

Fan Zengli was probably afraid of having long nights and dreams, so she hurriedly sent the letter back.

"I didn't expect your family to be quite anxious." Shen Che smiled, full of sarcasm.He really looked down on the Ji family in his heart, especially Ji Cheng's sister-in-law's style, she was like selling a girl, but he didn't think about who was the instigator.

As far as Ji Cheng is concerned, no matter how many things are wrong with the Ji family, it is also the family that gave birth to her and raised her. Even if she is dissatisfied, outsiders can't help making irresponsible remarks: "It's not that my family is in a hurry, isn't it that you are in a hurry? ?”

Shen Che glanced at Ji Cheng with a smile, stood up and walked in, without turning his head, he asked, "Do you want tea?"

Ji Cheng said: "I've been out for too long, I'm afraid my ancestors will ask about it." It means that if you have something to say, you should speak up quickly, otherwise if gossip gets out, the Liu family may not be willing to marry her.

"The old ancestor has already rested at this hour, even if he wants to ask, it will be tomorrow." Shen Che said.

Ji Cheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, what exactly was Shen Che trying to imply?Ji Cheng was not afraid at all that Shen Che would beat and kill her, even if she asked her to marry Liu Jun, it didn't matter, but what she feared most was that she would have to continue to get along with Shen Che.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Ji Cheng took two steps forward, but still stood at the bottom of the steps, refusing to enter the house.

Shen Che had already sat down beside the small table and started scooping water to make tea. Compared with his casualness, it set off Ji Cheng's restlessness even more.

"The accounts of the Western Regions have been sent over in the past six months, and I want you to look at them for me." Shen Che made a gesture of invitation.

The inexplicable arrogance and respect caused Ji Cheng's sense of danger to rise sharply, but she still stood still: "Didn't you say that the Western Regions don't need me?"

"It is true that someone has been found to be in charge again, but it is too rigid, more than enough to defend the border, but not enough to develop. You should look at these accounts first, and then confirm them with what he gave me."

Ji Cheng glanced at the two large black lacquered boxes almost half a person tall in the corner of the room, took off his shoes, raised the hem of his skirt, walked up the steps, and sat down opposite Shen Che: "Do you think I will be responsible for these?"

"Datong was established by you, and you spent so much effort, don't you want to see its future?" Shen Che asked back.

Ji Cheng sneered: "We smart people don't talk dark words, how can you trust me now?" Then Ji Cheng added, "Oh, no, you never trusted me." If you really trusted her, then He should be buried in the Western Regions from now on.

Shen Che smiled lightly: "I thought you were a smart person."

Smart people are not actually praises. People who are too smart always look forward and backward, and look back, but they always do nothing and have no achievements in their lives.

Although Ji Cheng wanted to ignore it, she always lacked the courage to be reckless: "Did you kill Mei Changhe?"

Shen Che raised his eyebrows: "Do you think I'm a devil who kills people at every turn?"

Asking this question made Ji Cheng inexplicably guilty, as if she was the devil.

"Mei Changhe is very capable. He can stir up wind and rain in the Western Regions by himself. It would be a pity to kill such a capable person. He is also very knowledgeable about current affairs." Shen Che said.

Ji Cheng heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, the life of those who know the current affairs will always be longer.

"Can you give me Liu Ye'er and Yu Qian'er back?" Ji Cheng asked again.

Shen Che picked up the boiling spring water, warmed the cup first, and then slowly looked at Ji Cheng: "Why do you talk to me about conditions now?"

Ji Cheng was stabbed by Shen Che's words so that he leaned back, and said stiffly, "It's up to you to keep me."

Shen Che smiled when he heard the words: "I forgot to tell you just now, Mei Changhe is not only very knowledgeable about current affairs, but also recommends talents and talents. Now the Northwest is occupied by various forces. I invited Ling Ziyun to the Northwest to help."

Ji Cheng's complexion changed: "You..." Saying something about helping Ling Ziyun was holding Ling Ziyun in a disguised form, "What are you using to blackmail him?"

Shen Che poured a cup of tea for Ji Cheng, then leaned back: "You care about him, and he cares about you as well. This man is infatuated, and he is afraid that something will happen to the Su family."

Ji Cheng felt a cold back, and didn't know how to see her brother Ziyun again in the future, her straight back collapsed: "Don't touch him."

Shen Che took a sip of tea in his spare time: "It's up to you. You should be glad that you are still valuable, and so is the Ji family."

"Then how can I know that in the future there won't be foxes and rabbits cooking like dogs?" Ji Cheng still refused to sit still.

Shen Che said: "Then you'd better pray that you can always find new foxes and rabbits."

Ji Cheng was silent for a moment, and finally bowed his head to admit defeat: "Can you move these accounts to the secret room for viewing?"

"Lanyue Zhai has been used for other purposes. Besides, you are right, I really don't trust you very much, so I can only put you under my nose." Shen Che said.

Ji Cheng pinched his palm with the hand hidden in his sleeve: "Can I come back tomorrow?"

"Still coming up from the mountain?" Shen Che asked with a smile.

Ji Cheng wished he could pour the tea in front of Shen Che's face, but she didn't do anything, stood up with difficulty with her hands on the small table.People who lose so badly are always prone to lack of energy.

The next day, Ji Cheng naturally couldn't go to Jiuliyuan openly, because just this time, many people asked her or people around her in different ways to inquire about her going to Jiuliyuan, and the old lady naturally asked a few questions. .

Ji Cheng had no choice but to use the Liu family's marriage as a perfunctory excuse, making everyone think that she wanted to get married.

The next night, Ji Cheng walked in the secret passage again, smelling the peculiar musty smell of the underground, and felt that it was difficult to breathe.Going around and around, the entanglement that I thought I could get rid of, but it still entangles people so that I can't breathe.

Ji Cheng stood at the door behind the closet and rang the copper bell, but no one answered.She waited ten breaths before opening the door and going out, but Shen Che was not in the room, which made Ji Cheng heave a sigh of relief.She took the account book out of the box and concentrated on looking at it at a glance, hoping to finish the task quickly and not have to come to Jiuliyuan again.

When Shen Che came back, the moon was already in the middle of the sky, Ji Cheng's hand that flipped through the ledger paused for a moment, and then continued to flip through it, just as if Shen Che was an invisible person.

Shen Che didn't say a word, sat down cross-legged on a cattail mat not far away and began to close his eyes and adjust his breath.

In the quiet night, there is only the rustling sound of flipping books, giving off a peaceful and peaceful appearance.If someone who doesn't know it reads it, they will only think that this is the way of getting along with each other for many years, and they will no longer be tired of talking to each other, only occasionally he glances at her, and she glances at him for a moment.

It's just that before Shen Che came back, Ji Cheng was able to read a detailed account in half an hour. After he came back, an hour passed, and she only read half of the book. I don't know where to start.

Ji Cheng always felt that there was a scorching gaze behind her, but when she turned her head while drinking water, she saw that Shen Che's eyes were always closed, as if they had never been opened.

When two powerhouses meet, the more calm the other side is, the more hopeless the side will be.

One of the candles had already been burned, and Ji Cheng covered his mouth with his sleeve and yawned, feeling a little out of sorts.She stood up and went to the clean room, took a handful of cold water and poured it on her face to refresh herself. For her, if she could spend one less day in Jiuliyuan, she would spend one less day.

When Ji Cheng returned to the room again, he saw that Shen Che had opened his eyes and was staring at her.

"Go back first." Shen Che said.

Ji Cheng said, "There's still a little more left to finish reading that book."

"If you don't sleep, I will sleep." Shen Che said.

Ji Cheng had no choice but to go back to Ruiyingtang.She doesn't have much time to stay in Jiuliyuan every day. She has dinner with the old lady, and sometimes she has to go to the garden with the old man to digest food. She can't leave immediately after going to bed. Only then could he go to Jiuliyuan, only to be interrupted by Shen Che's pickiness which disturbed his sleep.

A person who used to meditate all night long actually said that she affected his sleep? !
