Chapter 144: The Heart Is Difficult to Calm (1)
Ji Cheng smoothed her forehead hair with her hands a little irritably, she had been in Jiuliyuan for a few days, although Shen Che almost never spoke, and the two were strangers, but she felt strange and awkward in her heart.

Sometimes, Ji Cheng himself would have the illusion that they are like a young couple who are angry, turning a blind eye to each other, but they have to live together under the same roof.

Not only is Ji Cheng not stupid, but she is also extremely sensitive. She has already noticed the weirdness of this way of getting along.If Shen Che really hated her, how could he tolerate her dangling in front of her eyes? If it was Ji Cheng himself, would she tolerate Shen Che dangling in front of her?The answer is obvious.

It was precisely because the answer was so shocking that Ji Cheng refused to believe that he was still Shen Che's prey from the bottom of his heart.

Although Ji Cheng didn't have much experience with men and women, in the time before Shen Che left the capital to go to the Western Regions, he was really too sticky, and he could definitely draw the conclusion that Shen Che hadn't played with her enough.

Sitting in front of the small table in Jiuliyuan, Ji Cheng stroked his hair irritably again, when there was a movement behind him, it was Shen Che who had returned.

He came back too early today, and he saw the figure before he passed.

Someone sat down beside him, Ji Cheng wanted to move his body uncomfortably, but before she could move, he saw a shadow cast by the light, it was Shen Che's hand raised towards her.

Ji Cheng moved a lot to the side, almost rolling and crawling, there was a muffled sound on the mat, the jade hairpin on her head fell onto the mat and broke in two.

When going to bed, the hairpins were removed, and when she got up from the bed, Ji Cheng himself was not very good at combing his hair, and Nan Gui was not good at combing his hair either, so he just tied his hair loosely in a bun, and inserted the jade hairpin obliquely to hold the hair. When he stroked his hair irritably, the jade hairpin was already on the verge of falling.

People like Shen Che, who saw the husband-watching stone in the wrong direction and made a great wish to correct it, saw the crumbling jade hairpin, and subconsciously straightened it with his hands.

Ji Cheng's abrupt movement made both of them startled at the same time.Shen Che's hand stayed in the air for a moment, and then it slowly fell down, his face was gloomy as if a mountain rain was about to come.

Ji Cheng was also annoyed at how he couldn't hold his breath, and avoided it so clearly, obviously exposing his biggest weakness.

"I..." Ji Chengqi wanted to explain, but couldn't find a reasonable excuse in a hurry.

Shen Che squinted his eyes, sneered and said, "Who do you think you are? A fairy descended from the earth? Not to mention old-fashioned and boring, but with a face all day long, no matter how beautiful you are? Don't you think you are different from me? Is there any freshness?"

These words were harsh to the bone, and before Ji Cheng could react, Shen Che already wished that the situation could be overturned.He seldom spoke ill of women in his life, firstly because of his status, secondly because of his upbringing, but only at this moment when he was facing Ji Cheng, he couldn't hold back his temper for a while, he said what he said indiscriminately, and at the same time duplicity. Out of proportion.

In fact, sense of proportion had already been lost, Shen Che felt shameless, got up and walked out.

Looking at Shen Che's back, Ji Cheng smiled self-deprecatingly.She was far from being as angry as Shen Che had expected. She probably regarded her position towards Shen Che as a plaything. She had imagined worse things than this, and she was numb to Shen Che's stinging words.

But to his inexplicable joy, for some reason, Ji Cheng suddenly remembered what Shen Yun, the great aunt of the Shen family, said when Shen Yuan returned to Ning, saying that if a man really likes him, he will always be obsessed with it in the intercourse at first.

At that time, Ji Cheng felt that Shen Che didn't seem to be keen on that matter, and only occasionally did it for three or five days. He thought it was because of his temperament, but unexpectedly, he disliked her for being rigid and boring.Ji Cheng doesn't have much ambition in this matter, if he is old-fashioned and boring, he will be old-fashioned and boring, and if he doesn't feel fresh, it's even better.

Although Shen Che regretted his slip of the tongue, he couldn't say a word of apology. There is no point in apologizing to someone who wishes to kill you.Although he understood his own intentions, he was still unable to calm down.The relationship between children and children has never been in Shen Che's eyes, otherwise he would not have chosen the kung fu of Jiuzhuan Xuanyuan in the first place.

As for the matter with Fang Xuan, it is not so much that Fang Xuan did not believe in Shen Che's intentions, which was still immature at the time, and resolutely left, it is better to say that they both know that it will not last long.

After all, not staying is just because you don't want to stay.

Although Shen Che's mood is difficult to calm down now, he realizes that as long as it takes time, he may not be able to forget his feelings.When he was young, he was full of sincerity, but Yu Fangxuan could still forget his feelings, not to mention that Ji Cheng today, love arises from desire, and will eventually die.The beauty is peerless, but it's only made of bones, and it's just that after seeing it through.

Idealists are always self-righteous, if the love in this world is so easy to detect, there will not be so many foolish men and women in the world.If love is so easy to control, those soul-stirring stories will not be worthy of being sung for thousands of years.

When Chu De saw Shen Che, although he leaned against the red and leaned against the green, and there was a dancer from Tianzhu dancing in front of him with a slender waist twisting, his expression seemed to say that those who offend me will die.

As soon as Chu De sat down, two voluptuous and plump women Shi took wine glasses and wanted to come up to drink Chu De who hadn't come to join him for many days.

Chu De smiled happily and took everything, but he didn't want wine glasses but leather cups, which made the room noisy and noisy.He chased a female history and gnawed a few mouthfuls with his arms around her vigorously before giving up.

Only when Chude had had enough trouble did he care about Shen Che's cold face leisurely: "It's been so long, are you still tired with that face? You see, we are so scared that we dare not speak. "Chu De pouted at Huang Zhenzhen who was on the opposite side.

Huang Zhenzhen beat Mrs. Huarui to the top position at the Lantern Festival in the first month, and now she is undertaking the task of accompanying Shen Che to play every scene. When she heard Chu De's words, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The little prince is really good at joking, I'll go to the kitchen to see, Is there anything that can shut your mouth."

Huang Zhenzhen was able to stand out among all the women's stories and climbed up to Shen Che, but he was not an ignorant person, so he left Chu De and Shen Che to talk alone with his jokes.

"Have you heard anything about him?" Shen Che asked, and he was specifically referring to Zheli.

Chu De shook his head: "The tortoise is quite good at hiding."

Shen Che said: "This way we can avoid our people's sight, I'm afraid there are people behind, and they are very familiar with our operation."

Chu De said: "You mean it might be that one?" Chu De nodded, "I'll ask someone to check this line."

Talking about things on such occasions can only be clouded, and most of them just mention a few points and continue to play on the spot.

Chu De said: "By the way, isn't everyone Fang already living in your other courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing? Why do you still come here leisurely, and you are not afraid that everyone will be jealous if they find out?"

Shen Che gave a sideways look: "I hope I can really find a pig's trotter to stop your mouth."

Compared with Shen Che's frustration, Chu De is proud of it and doesn't mind Shen Che's harsh words at all. Is it? Not yet? I heard that everyone Fang intends to go south, what did you do? Back then, young people didn’t understand women and had a way of talking, why are you still like this now?”

Shen Che stumbled over Fang Xuan's matter, and Chu De would probably make a joke of him for the rest of his life, and he only had this little sense of superiority: "Second brother, seeing that we have been brothers for so many years, don't say I have no I want to share my experience with you. To tame a woman, it needs to be complicated and complicated, and it needs to be simple and simple. Coaxing alone is not enough. The more you coax her, the more hypocritical she becomes. In the end, she coaxes an ancestor. It's boring, this is the low nature of women. But it's not enough to rely on beating alone. Although beating can be conquered, it is no fun. You are timid and timid like a cotton man. You will be bored after two days of practice. This is our Men's cheapness. Brother, I have been on the battlefield for so many years, and I have summed up a trick, which is absolutely invincible."

Shen Che was not at all interested in Chu De's lip service, and didn't even look at him.

On the contrary, Chu De himself became more and more energetic in talking, and rushed forward to pass on the scriptures and lessons: "Just two words, sleeping clothes. Sleeping sleep."

Shen Che knew that Chu De's dog couldn't spit ivory out of its mouth.

Seeing Shen Che's expression, Chu De knew that he didn't take it seriously: "Hey, don't you believe it, the aunt I married didn't invite you to drink, the main reason is that she was hypocritical with me at the beginning, and she didn't want to live or die. It's only been a few days, I didn't go to her room last night, and I gave in to me this morning, but women can't be used to it, just wait, tomorrow I will ask her to pose whatever pose she wants What poses?"

Shen Che has never asked about the private affairs of his subordinates. Everyone has their own growth environment and hobbies, but Chu De's personal virtues are really beyond the reach of many people, and Shen Che is not interested in how Chu De sleeps with his aunt. .

But Chu De, as a man, naturally likes to show off his abilities in this area: "This is kung fu, do you know?! Look at you, Fang Xuan wanted to go far away, and now Ji Cheng wants to kill you, don't you know?" Have you never reflected on yourself? Let me tell you, this kind of thing is not only liked by us men, but women are also addicted to it. The face is useless, the black cat and the white cat have to be taken out for a walk to know whether it is useful or not. You still have a lot to learn." Chu De patted Shen Che on the shoulder, almost smug.

Shen Che grabbed Chu De's hand with his backhand, and twisted his hand behind his back, causing Chu De to scream in pain.Shen Che bitterly said: "Even if you want to learn, it's not your turn to teach."

Although Shen Che was very dismissive of Chu De's words, but when people are in despair, they always like to grab life-saving straws everywhere, so that he just said what he just said, which seems to be unconfident.

But in fact, Shen Che realized that he had already taken care of Ji Cheng very much in that kind of matter, and never acted according to his own temperament. .She also enjoyed it.

It's just that Ji Cheng's evasive action last night did greatly hurt Shen Che's self-esteem, and made him suspect for no reason that he had fallen in love with him. Could it be that he really lacked skill?But Shen Che also knew that even if this was the reason why Ji Cheng avoided him, it was only part of it.

Chu De was still yelling loudly, Shen Che let go of his hand, Chu De jumped forward, almost didn't fall, turned his head and wanted to curse, but under Shen Che's fierce eyes, he still didn't dare to speak.

"You can treat your concubines like this, your wife, you also wear pajamas?" Shen Che sarcastically said.

Although Chu De pretended to be a man on the outside, in fact he was a strict wife when he returned home, and he often called for divorce, but with his virtue, it was really threesome for him to marry a girl from Qinghe Cui's family. I am lucky.He wanted to divorce his wife, but his father had to break his legs.

As soon as he talked about the Hedong lion at home, Chu De's arrogance immediately faltered, and he said with a sneer: "How can this wife be like other women? Naturally, I have to respect it from the bottom of my heart." Not to mention sleeping clothes, just sleep, Chu De might not even dare to talk about sleeping clothes, "It's not like my wife doesn't know that as long as I respect her, she can turn a blind eye to me."

"Respect?" Shen Che looked at Chu De so firmly that he thought he had flowers on his face.

Shen Che may have gotten inspiration from Chu De's unintentional words, but Ji Cheng has already discovered his own opportunity.

The old lady was talking about the lotus feast in Nanjun Wangfu: "The Yingri lotus in his house is the first in the capital."

Originally, Ji Cheng didn't want to go to the Nanjun Palace. The post from the Nanjun Palace was only for the master of the Shen family, and she followed it just as an excuse.In the past, it was to plan a marriage, always wanting to show up more, but now it's ridiculous to think about the past, and there is no heart to show up.

It's just that the Nanjun Prince's Mansion usually only holds chrysanthemum banquets, but this time it hosted a lotus banquet unexpectedly, but it was for another person - Fang Xuan.

Although there are countless princes and relatives in this capital, there are not many people who can invite Fang Xuan. In fact, there are not many people who know that Fang Xuan will return to the capital.I don't know how the king of Nanjun moved Fang Xuan, so that Fang Xuan, who was no longer on the piano stage, could accept a solo.

Because of Fang Xuan, the lotus feast in the Nanjun Palace really caused a sensation in the entire capital, but anyone with a certain status would like to squeeze their heads into the Palace.Although Fang Xuan has retired for many years, her fame has only increased, making people consider it a blessing in life to see her beauty.

On the day of the lotus feast, the old lady didn't go, but An and Princess took Shen Xun and Ji Cheng there.

It was inevitable that Shen Xun and Ji Cheng would be a little embarrassed to meet each other. Although the girls in the mansion married and left, only Shen Xun and Ji Cheng were left at the same age, but because of what happened in Chu Town, even if Ji Cheng had nothing wrong, But when Shen Xun saw her, he couldn't be as unconcerned as before.Ji Cheng knew the reason, so he didn't flaunt it in front of Shen Xun much.

Fortunately, I heard that Chu Zhen invited him to practice, and his father sent him to Shen Xiu, the second master of the Shen family at the border, to train, which saved Ji Cheng and Shen Xun from embarrassment when they met Chu Zhen.

Fang Xuan in the water pavilion of Nanjun Prince's Mansion was looking at Shen Che, with an apologetic smile on his face and said: "You don't have to worry, I will leave in two days, this time is really out of love, it's just a debt repayment."

Fang Xuan was not born to be so famous as a public official. When she debuted in Manxiangyuan, although she was talented, there was always a public official who didn't admire talent and only wanted to pick flowers. If she hadn't been protected by Nanjun Wang, she It was really hard to keep her innocence, and at that time Shen Che didn't know her yet.

"Once you show up, there will be bees and butterflies disturbing you, it's very annoying." Shen Che sighed.

Fang Xuan made a playful gesture: "Then I will trouble Second Young Master to take care of you."

Shen Che could only helplessly make a gesture of obedience.

When Shen Che left the waterside pavilion, Bingling said to Fang Xuan: "Miss knows that the second son doesn't like you and the county king, why did you agree to it? Don't you remember that the only time you quarreled was over the county king?"

Looking at Chu Zhen, one can tell that the king of Nanjun was also handsome and handsome when he was young, and he is still handsome today.At that time, Shen Che was only a teenage boy, but the King of Nanjun was a mature man in his twenties, extraordinary in martial arts, and also a prince of the clan. Fang Xuan had some entanglements with him that could not be tolerated by outsiders.

Fang Xuan said: "Back then, thanks to the county king's care, I was unable to repay him. He invited me today, how could I refuse? Besides, at that time, the second young master was probably very jealous, but now you see that he is not jealous at all?"

There was a faint sigh in Fang Xuan's tone, and Bing Ling complained: "It is said that men are unlucky, but as expected, I thought the second son would be an exception."

Fang Xuan shook her head in disapproval and said: "Bing Ling, how many people in this world can protect me and love me like him? Even if I let him down, I let him down first, and he has no obligation to wait for me forever. I hope that the person he likes can also love and protect him, and the husband and wife will live happily ever after. Actually, it is not easy for him." Fang Xuan knew Shen Che's ambition, and also knew his great wish. There is no reason not to drag him down.

After all, her life experience is not on the stage.

When night fell, tall candles were lit everywhere in the county mansion, reflecting in the lake water like stars in the sky.There is no moon in the sky, but it does not hinder people's elegance in the slightest.

The stone bridge leading to the water pavilion in the lake was heavily guarded, and those who wanted to see Fang Xuan's beauty could only return with regret.When the banquet starts, there will be singing, dancing and fine wine first. After the wine is over, the startling sound of gongs and drums will sound, which reminds people to be quiet.

Listening to it, there is a ray of flute sound that seems to be absent, slowly coiling like a cloud of smoke, rising into the sky, covering everyone in the sound of the sky.

Before Fang Xuan's flute sounded, Ji Cheng, like most people, felt that Fang Xuan might have talent, but most of the time he should be praised.She was so beautiful, and there were all kinds of legends, especially Shen Che added a lot of color to her, the second son wanted to marry her as his wife.In such a legend, she can't do without being famous.

However, after the sound of the empty flute sounded, all distracting thoughts disappeared, and only a voice deep in his heart asked, is this really music that can be heard in the world?

After the sound of the flute slowly disappeared, the surroundings were still silent, even the breathing was so gentle, it took a long time for someone to come back to their senses, and Fang Xuan had drifted away for a long time at that time.
