Chapter 145: The Heart Is Difficult to Calm (2)
"Oh my God." This exclamation echoed the hearts of everyone present.

People who have heard this kind of sounds of nature are not lucky, and they probably will not be clouds except Wushan in their lifetime.Ji Cheng sat on the same spot for a long time. Although she came from an ordinary background, all beautiful and intelligent women always think highly of themselves, and it is difficult to convince others who are also women. Only today, Fang Xuan, Ji Cheng really admired her from the bottom of her heart. up.

Fang Xuan, who can play such music without knowing him, is enough to make everyone fall in love with him.

Ji Cheng sighed, a little ashamed of himself.Ji Cheng originally planned to use the lotus feast to get close to Fang Xuan, the best result is to become a close friend in the boudoir, so that if Shen Che wants to deal with himself, he must always think about not hurting Yu Pingzi when he hits the mouse.

At this time, Ji Chengchu's original plan had disappeared, and he felt that it was too utilitarian and vulgar, and he really shouldn't stain Fang Xuan's ears.

It's just that Ji Cheng thought again, how could Shen Che be able to match Fang Xuan, and Fang Xuan deserved to be told to ignore him.

At this time, the chatter and laughter had resumed in the arena, so many people chased the King of Nanjun to ask him to introduce Master Fang, but the fairy floated away, leaving everyone with a back view, which was really regrettable.

The king of Nanjun smiled and said, "Master Fang has already left, and I don't know where she is going. I can hear the sounds of nature today. What regrets do you all have?"

actually left?Ji Cheng was puzzled when he heard the words, why did Shen Che go out early and return late all day long, but he failed to embrace a beautiful woman?There should be wine here, and it should be white.

Although he was having a banquet, Ji Cheng always remembered the unrefined things in the darkness of the chrysanthemum banquet last time, so after listening to Master Fang's flute, he sat with Princess An and the whole time.Princess Anhe was also impatient with socializing, so she sat down a little and led Shen Xun and Ji Cheng to leave.

It wasn't too late yet, Ji Cheng thought that since everyone Fang was going away, Shen Che would naturally have to go see him off, and there was no one in the Jiuliyuan, so she just went to check the accounts, so it's better to settle things as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, before Ji Cheng pushed open the door of the closet, he saw candlelight leaking from the gap, and Shen Che was boiling water and tea without letting go of his hands.
Ji Cheng took out the ledger lightly, and was too lazy to bother Shen Che.

Although the two are under the same candlelight, they are "unrelated" and have no communication at all. Instead, the shadows reflected on the mat seem to be close to each other.

Before he finished reading the accounts in Ji Cheng's hand, he accidentally caught sight of three more big red boxes in the corner, and couldn't help but break the calm: "Those are also account books?"

Shen Che raised his head when he heard the words, glanced lightly, and replied: "Well, the accounts from the Northwest have also been sent. If you can do your best, you can take a look."

Ji Cheng stared wide-eyed, wishing he could lift the table.Although she suffers from insomnia and less sleep, she can't be called like this, right?Even the donkey who grinds the mill sometimes naps.

"Two days will be Qixi Festival. Tomorrow night, we will build a Qiqiao Tower to worship the stars. Ah Xun invited me to Yingshui to light the lanterns. I won't come over for two days. If you are in a hurry, I can take the account book back. Look." Ji Cheng said.

"It's Qixi Festival again?" Shen Che put down the scroll in his hand, looked into Ji Cheng's eyes, and seemed to be a little emotional.

Being looked at by Shen Che like this, Ji Cheng couldn't help but think of what happened on Qixi Festival last year. She danced in front of Shen Che pretending to be a Persian dancer. The fabric was so thin that it could barely cover her chest, let alone her waist.Ji Cheng himself felt ashamed when he recalled it, so it's no wonder that Shen Che regarded her as a plaything from the beginning.

Looking at Ji Cheng's blushing cheeks and dodging eyes, Shen Che couldn't help but smile a little, and asked, "Are you still wearing five-color strands this year?"

Last year's Qixi Festival, the five-color wisp from Ji Cheng's body accidentally fell on Shen Che's body. Even if Shen Che knew things like a god, he probably didn't expect that he would be entangled with Ji Cheng today. It was an ominous move to throw away the five-color wisp at the beginning.

Only then did Ji Cheng think of the five-color thread, something that daughters in northern Shanxi don't play with.She was captured into Tianxiang Pavilion on the Qixi Festival last year. When she changed the clothes of the Persian dancer, she had nothing to defend herself, so she had to hide the five-color strands with needles in her hair. Greeting each other's eyeballs, because it was useless, I don't know where they fell.

At this moment, when Shen Che suddenly asked about the five-color thread, Ji Cheng didn't know what it meant, so he replied, "I don't know, let's see Ah Xun." Shen Xun gave the five-color thread to Jiucheng last year, and she was too lazy to get it herself. that thing.

After saying this, Ji Cheng wanted to scratch her hair again, she always felt that in such a situation, it was weird that she and Shen Che could chat like nothing had happened.

"Who did you pin the five-color strands of last year's Qixi Festival?"

Ji Cheng looked at Shen Che suspiciously, why is this person so interested in Qixi and Wuselu?Whenever Shen Che was interested, Ji Cheng subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

Shen Che's eyes darkened because of Ji Cheng's strong defensiveness. Which one of them should be on guard against whom?

The next night, while catching spiders and begging for cleverness, Shen Xun asked Ji Cheng, "Sister Cheng, have you worn your five-color thread this time?" Shen Xun also remembered that last year Cheng had never even heard of five-color thread, "Maybe tomorrow Mr. Liu will also go to Yingshui, and then you can tie him with your five-color thread."

Ji Cheng smiled, but didn't answer.The five-color thread, which entrusts the sweetest wish of the girl's family, is really useless to her, and can only contrast the sadness and ridiculousness of her reality.

Shen Xun played with the colorful purse pinned to her in her hand. The originally innocent and carefree little girl had a sadness that didn't fit her age, and she looked into the distance without focus.

Looking at the sullen Shen Xun, Ji Cheng knew that she still couldn't let Chu Zhen go.

Qiqiao on Qixi Festival seemed very deserted, Shen Xun didn't speak, and Ji Cheng didn't talk too much. The old lady saw it in her eyes and felt "full of desolation": "Oh, once A-Xian and A-Cui got married, the family became unbelievably deserted. .”

Shen Xun cheered up and hugged the old lady's arm and shook it: "Supposedly, you shouldn't let the temper of the eldest brother and the second brother just marry them a daughter-in-law and come back, right? When the fourth brother Qiuwei high school this year, he will also Let's talk about kissing. By the way, there is also the third brother, who should also be called back to start a family. In less than a year, the family will be lively again. At that time, you old man, don't think it's noisy. "

The old lady nodded the tip of Shen Xun's nose: "Fortunately, I still have you as an old lady at home, it's better for this girl's family to marry later."

Ji Cheng thought to himself, the old lady's news is really good, obviously he saw Shen Xun's concern and told her specially.Just as Ji Cheng was thinking about Shen Xun, he heard the old lady mentioning himself: "Look at your elder sister Cheng, even if she is engaged this time, her family might not want to part with her, and she will stay for two more years before leaving the cabinet."

Hearing this, Ji Cheng looked at the old lady with an indescribable feeling in his heart.Although she hated Shen Che to the core, she didn't hate the rest of the Shen family, especially the old lady, who had always treated her very well as an outsider, and she probably meant to wake herself up by saying this.If you are engaged, as long as you haven't married, you can always have something to look forward to.

However, Shen Xun couldn't hear the old lady's voice-over, so he smiled and said coquettishly: "It's better if I don't marry for the rest of my life. Is it better to be a girl at home than to be a wife for others?"

The old lady cheerfully did not correct Shen Xun, but turned to Ji Cheng and said, "Did your sister-in-law send out the Liu family's geng post? Did your father reply?"

Ji Cheng shook his head: "It's only a few days away."

On the night of Qixi Festival, even though his sweetheart was not in Beijing, Shen Xun excitedly ran over to find Ji Cheng early on.

To be honest, Ji Cheng still had lingering fears about the Qixi Festival in the capital. If it wasn't for avoiding Shen Che, she wouldn't find an excuse to say that she didn't go to Jiuliyuan because of the Qixi Festival. Seeing Shen Xun was so excited at the moment, she had no choice but to He gave up his life to be with the gentleman, but thanks to Nan Gui's company, Ji Cheng felt a little more at ease.

People by the Yingshui River crowded shoulder to shoulder as usual, Ji Cheng held Shen Xun firmly, lest she might make a mistake.People putting up lanterns by the water crowded around, and the water surface was already filled with lanterns full of girls' prayers, just like the Milky Way in the sky pouring into the world.

Ji Cheng stood by the water and looked around vigilantly. She didn't put up any lanterns. She didn't have any wishes in this life, so she could only drag on.

The beauties by the water bowed their waists or lowered their heads, scooping up water with their hands and urging the praying lanterns to quickly flow to the Bodhisattva with the water.In this way, standing Ji Cheng's eyesight was extraordinarily broad, she just turned her head slightly, and saw Shen Che standing by the water, a woman wearing a veiled hat in front of him was standing upright, although she couldn't see her face, But Ji Cheng intuitively felt that it must be Fang Xuan.

But didn't the king of Nanjun say that Fang Xuan had gone south two days ago?
Shen Xun got up after turning on the light, and followed Ji Cheng's gaze to see Shen Che.Shen Xun immediately jumped up, waved to Shen Che, and shouted loudly: "Second Brother, Second Brother."

Even if Shen Che wanted to pretend that he didn't hear Shen Xun's yell, he couldn't do it, because Shen Xun had already nimbly ran over with the hem of his skirt.

Ji Cheng dawdled along and followed from a distance, not wanting to go up to say hello to Shen Che.

Shen Xun looked at the shrunken woman beside Shen Che and curled her lips contemptuously: "Second brother, what are you doing? Didn't the old ancestor say that he would make an engagement for you? She has already taken a fancy to Dong's elder sister, If you do this, won't you slap Sister Dong in the face?"

Ji Cheng had never heard of the non-existent Sister Dong anyway, so luckily Shen Xun came here as soon as she opened her mouth.

Shen Che said: "Go home early when the lights are on." He was talking, but his hand was weakly supporting Fu Fangxuan's elbow, in case she walked back from the rocks by the water to the hard ground on the shore fell into the water on the way.

Seeing that Shen Che was so considerate of the woman, Shen Xun felt angry: "Then you send me back."

Shen Che jumped over Shen Xun's shoulder and looked at Ji Cheng: "Please trouble Cousin Cheng to send Ah Xun back earlier."

"I won't go back." Shen Xun stomped his feet, "Second brother, where are you going? I will go wherever you go."

Shen Che glanced at Ji Cheng, and Ji Cheng pretended to have sand in his eyes and rubbed them, but he didn't buy Shen Che's account at all.

Fang Xuanyin laughed out loud under the veiled hat, and said, "Let's go together, we are going to the Juxing Tower ahead."

Juxing Tower is on the edge of Yingshui River, and its dishes are not very special, but because of its unique geographical location, you can have a panoramic view of the Lantern River on the night of Qixi Festival, so it is also hard to find.

Shen Xun took two steps forward and squeezed between Shen Che and Fang Xuan, pulled Shen Che's sleeve and said, "Second brother, let's go."

Shen Che had no choice but to be dragged away by Shen Xun, and Ji Cheng and Fang Xuan were left behind to talk whether it was intentional or unintentional.

"Miss Ji." Fang Xuan lifted the hood slightly, revealing half of her face.

Ji Cheng didn't understand why Fang Xuan knew him, where did she hear about him?Ji Cheng couldn't help thinking of the events in the Western Regions and Mei Changhe with a guilty conscience.Yu Fangxuan, Ji Cheng did feel guilty, dragging an innocent girl into the vortex was really forced and helpless.

As for Shen Che, Ji Cheng never doubted that he was definitely not the one who told Fang Xuan about himself.

"Master Fang." Ji Cheng greeted, with a slight sense of distance.

Fang Xuan turned sideways and walked side by side with Ji Cheng: "I haven't been back to the Central Plains for a long time. People in the Western Regions don't live until Qixi Festival. It's rare that I come out to light the lanterns during this festival, but I ran into the second son. I will go south in two days." gone."

Ji Cheng didn't understand what Fang Xuan meant by these words, as if he was specifically clarifying the relationship between her and Shen Che with himself.Isn't this absurd?And even added a special sentence, she will leave in two days.

"Did everyone leave in two days?" Ji Cheng pretended to be surprised, "I heard everyone's music in the county prince's mansion two days ago, and I wish I had the opportunity to get close to each other every day. I just met everyone today, but you It’s a pity to have to go again.”

What Ji Cheng said was kind words, Fang Xuan didn't know, it was her daughter's family, she probably understood her daughter's family's thoughts better than ordinary people.Ji Cheng was probably looking forward to her leaving long ago, but he still had to put on a gesture: "I am a person who can't be idle. I heard that people in southern Xinjiang are good at singing and dancing. I admire them very much, but life is too short. , I wish I could travel all over the world and learn the rhythms of all parties, the more I know, the more I feel shallow." Fang Xuan was talking about her ambitions, saying that she would definitely not stay in the capital.

Fang Xuan didn't want to be a stumbling block between Shen Che and Ji Cheng, the two obviously had a quarrel, otherwise how could Shen Xun tell about Miss Dong in front of Ji Cheng, yet Shen Che didn't explain at all.She only wished that the cold war between the two was not because of her.

When Ji Cheng heard Fang Xuan's words, he felt extremely envious of her.Fang Xuan's life was worth it. Although her background was a bit of a twist, she met Shen Che in her early years and was protected by him wholeheartedly. However, she had a clear view of the world and knew that Shen Che could not be relied on. After earning a lot of money, I think that after many years, people will still remember her fairy music and music. If she writes a book in the future, it will never be known that she will be famous forever.

On the other hand, Ji Cheng herself, trapped in a small space, struggling between interests, is extremely vulgar, but she is happy to go back and forth in the abacus beads, and even finds it interesting.

After all, Ji Cheng and Fang Xuan are two types of people, one is addicted to the world of mortals, and the other is Baixue floating outside the Great Wall, even if she wants to get close, but when people get along with each other, a time of seeing each other is enough to know whether they can become Chum.

With a transparent person like Fang Xuan, even if Ji Cheng had all kinds of calculations, he couldn't use it on her, because he couldn't bear to be profane and felt ashamed.Ji Cheng's wish that he couldn't realize, but Fang Xuan sees a shadow in him. He only hopes that she can stick to her dream all her life, so that future generations will know that her daughter's family's talent and ability should not be underestimated, and it is enough to be famous.

So Ji Cheng sighed, "I really envy you."

Fang Xuan smiled and said: "Everyone is envious of others, because no one is perfect. In my opinion, you are more enviable."

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Ji Cheng is a serious girl is enough to make Fang Xuan envious.She may have other ambitions, but which woman has never expected to have a shelter from the wind and rain?What's more, he is still like Shen Che.Fang Xuan looked at Shen Che's back almost in a daze.

"What do I have to be envious of?" Ji Cheng straightened his side hair, even if they are enviable, it's because they don't know the truth inside, so it can be seen that everyone has hard-to-recite scriptures.

Fang Xuan smiled at Ji Cheng, then glanced at Shen Che's back, it was hard for Ji Cheng not to comprehend such narrow hints.

Ji Cheng thought to himself, Everyone, Fang is jealous, right?She asked herself that she and Shen Che behaved very naturally just now, and she absolutely did not see anything wrong.From the bottom of his heart, Ji Cheng hoped that Shen Che and Fang Xuan could live together, be sweet and sweet, so that he would not be so dark and awkward, but everyone saw Fang as a kind and kind person, and Shen Che definitely didn't want everyone to know His true colors.

Only by taking advantage of Shen Che's weaknesses can Ji Cheng feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Ji Cheng immediately made a frightened expression on Fang Xuan: "I'm going to get engaged in two days."

With Ji Cheng's appearance, it is obvious that Shen Che is definitely not the one who is engaged.Fang Xuan couldn't help being surprised in her heart, isn't she the Ah Cheng that Shen Che was talking about?But when Fang Xuan looked at Ji Cheng, he felt that if she was not that Cheng, there would be no other Cheng in the world.

Ji Cheng noticed Fang Xuan's surprise, and leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Although I also live in the Shen Mansion, I don't have many opportunities to meet Cousin Che, and Cousin treats us sisters with courtesy. of."

The more Ji Cheng said that, the more surprised Fang Xuan was.It is said that a wise man is sure to make a mistake, no matter how powerful Ji Cheng is, he would not be able to guess what Shen Che would babble when he was seriously injured.She only thought that Fang Xuan saw that her appearance was not bad and she lived in Shen's house, so she made some temptations, so she tried her best to clear it up.

But Ji Cheng didn't know that Fang Xuan was startled when she heard this, but she was guessing what was wrong between her and Shen Che.

"Here we are." Shen Che's voice came from three feet away, it was so cold that Ji Cheng had to stop talking.

No matter how difficult it is to find a private room in Juxing Tower, Shen Che couldn't help it. Soon, the shopkeeper came forward to arrange them personally in the private room on the top floor facing the river.

In the room, Fang Xuan took off her veiled hat, Shen Xun watched her appearance, and gradually put away the contempt on her face.
