Colorful

Chapter 146: The Heart Is Difficult to Calm (3)
Fang Xuan has such beauty, so beautiful that it even makes you feel that the history of brothel girls is an enviable experience.

Only now did Shen Che formally introduce Fang Xuan to Shen Xun.

Shen Xun covered her mouth in surprise: "You...you are Master Fang?" Shen Xun has been learning the piano from Aunt Han Bi since she was a child, and she has heard Fang Xuan's name countless times from her mouth, and she has been attracted to it for a long time. Not to mention the flute sound that made ghosts and gods weep in amazement at the lotus banquet at the Nanjun Prince's Mansion two days in advance.

Shen Xun was so ashamed that he almost lost his way, and apologized to Fang Xuan with a flushed face.

However, Shen Xun was also embarrassed for a while, and soon returned to the twittering little girl's mood, pestering Fang Xuan to talk non-stop.

Sitting beside Ji Cheng and Shen Che, one was drinking tea with his head down, while the other was watching Fang Xuan and Shen Xun chatting comfortably.

Shen Xun admired Fang Xuan very much in his heart, he asked one question after another, and after a while, everyone became close to Fang Xuan and became Sister Fang: "Sister Fang, I really didn't expect you to come to Yingshui to light the lanterns. Can not believe it."

Fang Xuan said: "Why can't you believe it? I'm also from my daughter's family. Back then, I came to Yingshui to light up lanterns every year to pray for blessings. Now that I've been away from the capital for many years, I came back this year just in time for Qixi Festival. How could I not come to light up lanterns?"

Shen Xun nodded and said: "Sister Fang, you must have prepared five-color wisps too?"

Fang Xuan smiled but didn't answer, Shen Xun couldn't wait to ask: "Who did you give your five-color thread tonight?"

Fang Xuan still didn't answer, just smiled and looked at Shen Xun's shoulder.

Shen Xun turned her head suspiciously, and struggled to look up her back: "Ah!" A strand of five-color strands appeared on her shoulders at some point, and she didn't even notice it.

Shen Xun said with a smile: "Sister Fang, it's a pity to give me your five-color thread. Today is Qixi Festival."

Fang Xuandao: "Five-color thread, pity thread, originally meant the friendship between daughters' families. At first, they were gifts from sisters to each other, meaning to love each other, and to be sisters for a lifetime. Isn't it appropriate for me to give you?"

These words made Shen Xun feel very happy, and immediately took one of his five-color thread from his purse and gave it to Fang Xuan to pin it on his body.When she turned her head, she suddenly saw a silver light flashing on Ji Cheng's back neckline, and said cheerfully: "Sister Cheng, you also have one on your back."

Ji Cheng looked back, but couldn't find it, so Shen Xun simply walked over and picked out the five-color strands from her collar: "Sister Fang is really amazing, neither of us noticed."

It's no wonder that Shen Xun misunderstood that Ji Cheng's five-color hair was Fang Xuan's other, because the two of them hugged each other when they came out, surrounded by maids and mother-in-law, in case there was something wrong with them, and the others had no chance to get close. Naturally, it is impossible to pin them with five-color strands.

After listening to Shen Xun's words, Ji Cheng thanked Fang Xuan and smiled.Fang Xuan felt ashamed, shook her head and said with a smile, "I haven't had time to put on the colorful hair on Miss Ji yet."

"Yeah, who is that?" Shen Xun just asked casually, her attention is all on Fang Xuan now, but she also asked casually, "Sister Cheng, where's your five-color wisp?"

Ji Cheng put down his teacup and said, "Oh, I forgot again. The main reason is that there has never been a custom of five-color wisps in northern Shanxi. I haven't gotten used to it yet!"

Shen Xun said: "Yesterday I reminded you, in case you meet Mr. Liu, where can you find the love line?"

Ji Cheng glanced at Shen Che from the corner of his eye, smiled to himself and did not answer.

Fang Xuan grew up in the building and knows how to read words and expressions. Seeing this situation, she calmly talked to Shen Xun about her experiences in the Western Regions.Not to mention that Shen Xun was immediately attracted to her, even Ji Cheng gradually became fascinated after listening to her for a while.Why doesn't she want to go to the Western Regions and the world, but it's just a dream.

The night gradually deepened, and it was already past the time for Shen Xun to go to bed. After she yawned twice, she had to get up and bid farewell to Fang Xuan under the eyes of her brother Shen Che's rushing eyes.Ji Cheng was naturally happy to get up, wishing he could take three steps as one step and walk out.

Before leaving, Shen Xun stood on tiptoe and whispered in Fang Xuan's ear: "See you next time, little sister-in-law." Although the voice was soft, the expressions of the other three people present changed, but they all returned to normal soon. , so fast that Shen Xun didn't notice it.

After leaving the Juxing Tower, the innocence on Shen Xun's face had completely disappeared, and he sighed: "Sister Cheng, you said that there is a confidante like Sister Fang, what should the second sister-in-law who comes in in the future do? What if there is a fuss?"

Ji Cheng complained that your second brother must have a thousand ways to manipulate your second sister-in-law, and there is absolutely no possibility of making a fuss, but Ji Cheng still said: "Cousin Che is not someone who can't figure it out."

Shen Xun sighed: "I see that Dong's sister is also very temperamental." This is the second time Shen Xun mentioned Dong's sister.

Ji Cheng couldn't help being curious: "What's the sister of the Dong family?"

Shen Xun whispered in Ji Cheng's ear: "I overheard it that day when I was taking a nap in the old ancestor's house. It seems to be from the old ancestor's natal family. The family style is upright and the rules are strict. Only such a sister-in-law can take care of her." Stay with my second brother."

Ji Cheng thought to himself, so there really was such a thing, no wonder Fang Xuan repeatedly talked about leaving.Ji Cheng thought to himself that the old ancestor was really smart all his life, and when he was confused for a while, it would be difficult for Miss Dong to control Shen Che no matter how upright her family style is.Shen Che's magic spell is only on Fang Xuan.

When Ji Cheng and the others returned to Shen's residence, the old lady had already fallen asleep, so there was no need to say hello, she went directly to her room to change clothes.

Ji Cheng had long forgotten that there was a five-color thread pinned to her body. When she was taking off her clothes, she accidentally touched the tip of the needle, and it hurt slightly, but luckily no blood was seen.Ji Cheng tore off the five-color thread of unknown origin and was about to throw it into the trash can, but Nan Gui quickly stopped him.

"Girl, I see these five-color strands seem to be pinned on your body by the young master." Nan Gui said.

With stiff shoulders, Ji Cheng turned his head to look at Nan Gui: "Don't you read it wrong?" In fact, Ji Cheng already believed three points in his heart. Ji Cheng himself had thought about it, no one was close to him and the five-colored wisps flew to her somehow, if Shen Che, it would make sense.

Nan Gui thought for a while, if the Second Young Master wanted to hide it from her, she would never be able to see it. It was obvious that the Second Young Master did it on purpose at that time: "I should not be mistaken."

Ji Cheng laughed suddenly, as if he had encountered something ridiculous, he waved his hand to make Nan Gui retreat, but tears rolled down his smiling face.It turned out that her intuition was not wrong, and Shen Che really didn't want to let her go.

But when he was a girl, Ji Cheng was already unfaithful, but when he married a woman in the future, he never wanted to be ashamed again. Thinking about it with his toes, Shen Che must enslave her while at the same time despise her "sluttyness".In comparison, the brothel women's history is more noble than her, at least they still have a clear price tag, and they can pick on their benefactors if they get along well.

Ji Cheng dug out the scissors from the needlework basket, cut the five-colored thread into inch by inch, it was not enough to relieve his hatred, he threw the thread on the candle flame and burned it to ashes.She gritted her teeth and thought, if Shen Che dared to humiliate her again, she would not hesitate to make a fuss, and she would not be afraid of dying together.

It's just that this is just a shrew's idea, and she, Ji Cheng, will be the only one who will end up infamy after her death.

When Ji Cheng's heart was boiling with anger, Fang Xuan's boat going south had already started to oar.

Bing Ling stood next to Fang Xuan who was staring at the shore obsessively, and said, "Since you can't let go, why are you so anxious to go south?"

Fang Xuan said calmly: "He has already let go."

Bing Ling hurriedly said: "How could it be? I thought that the Second Young Master's thoughts had turned to Miss Cheng, but today it seems that there is nothing between them. During these days when the girl was in the capital, the Second Young Master took good care of her everywhere. The girl's heart is too hard."

Things like feelings may not be seen more clearly by outsiders than insiders, only those who are inside are the most sensitive: "The second son takes care of me, but he just pities me."

"How can a girl belittle herself?" Bing Ling was really anxious.

Fang Xuan said: "It's not self-deprecating. He sympathizes with my life experience and pities me to pursue my dreams. That's why he takes care of me everywhere. Even if he gets married and has children in the future, I'm afraid it won't change. But it's not because he can't let it go, it's because he He's not just a bad person." It doesn't mean that he will become a stranger just because he no longer has affection, Shen Che has his own rules of conduct, and because of this, so many people follow him.

Bing Ling was silent for a long while before saying: "I don't believe it. You saw it tonight, that Miss Cheng is going to be engaged, and the second young master didn't even give any indication. Maybe we got it wrong that night. If the second young master is really interested in How could she allow her to marry another?"

Fang Xuan looked up at the starry sky, and said with a faint smile: "The ups and downs in love are beyond the comprehension of outsiders. If we look at the indifferent ones, maybe they have turbulent waves in their hearts." Fang Xuan turned her head and patted Bing Ling's hand that still wanted to speak, "Okay, stop talking about this, everything is over."

For Yu Shenche, Fang Xuan was indeed in the past, but someone was standing in front of him, and he couldn't turn the page.

Ji Qing's reply letter from northern Shanxi had arrived in the capital, and Ji Cheng's Geng Tie was placed on the small table in front of Shen Che.If it is sent to the Liu family tomorrow, Ji Cheng and Liu Jun will be officially engaged.

Shen Che looked up at the sky outside the house. The Milky Way was bright, but it was the hairpin that separated the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Qixi Festival is actually not a happy day. We can only spend one day together in a year. The only hope left for the poor.

Fang Xuan has left, but the voice seems to be still in his ears.

"That night in Gumo, you were seriously injured, you had a high fever, and you kept yelling the word 'A Cheng'." Fang Xuan looked at the backs of Ji Cheng and Shen Xun as they left, and turned around after speaking. Looking at Shen Che, "I know I shouldn't say these words, it's too lenient, but..."

"Yeah." Shen Che replied indifferently. In fact, it wasn't just that night. On his way back to Beijing from the Western Regions, every time he fell asleep, he would dream of Ji Cheng, dreaming that she stabbed her repeatedly with bloody scissors. into the wound on his chest.

Fang Xuan sighed, seeing Shen Che like this, he knew that he didn't want to talk more: "I'm leaving tonight." If Fang Xuan didn't still have the last thought, Fang Xuan wouldn't stay in the capital for this Qixi Festival.

"Take care." Shen Che got up and said.

Perhaps Shen Che's tone was so cold that even Fang Xuan, who was as calm as water, couldn't help thinking of doing evil: "By the way, the lanterns in Yingshui on the Qixi Festival are a thing of my daughter's house. You were in the lantern you bought just now. What did you write?"

Shen Che remained silent.

Fang Xuan said with a playful smile: "I'm about to leave, I don't know if I will see you again in my lifetime, and you don't satisfy my curiosity?"

Shen Che looked into Fang Xuan's eyes and said, "You already know."

Fang Xuan didn't realize it for a while, and it took a while to understand Shen Che's meaning: "You are..." Fang Xuan laughed, "This is really insightful." It's not worth laughing at young people doing juvenile things, but Now that Shen Che, a mature man, does such childish things, it makes people find it extremely funny.

There was a trace of red marks on Shen Che's ears.

After Fang Xuan laughed, she said: "Girls need to be coaxed. Although you were kind to me back then, you always put on airs. If you hadn't been unwilling to lower your figure, maybe I would have done it for you a long time ago. Wash your hands and make soup."

In fact, both of them knew that this was a joke, but there was not a trace of truth in the joke.

Shen Che was silent for a while, and said, "I thought I was enough to coax you back then." Fang Xuan, Shen Che was indeed coaxing, like Wang Liniang and Rui Yu later, he didn't even have to do anything.Occasionally spending money to buy something they like, in their description, Shen Che is already extremely considerate, a gentleness that is rare among men.

Some things may be clear to Shen Che at the beginning, but after three to five years or even eight years, even he himself began to feel that he was already very considerate of any girl he had been with.

Fang Xuan said: "Coaxing a girl's family is not just buying a face and sending calligraphy and painting. I think what we want more is..." Fang Xuan frowned and thought for a while, "It's more about caring, caring about what we really want , Maybe we just hope that the other party will spend more time talking with us."

Shen Che raised his eyebrows: "It's that simple?" He almost scoffed at this, he has been talking with Ji Cheng for more than a day or two, usually she is impatient with him and doesn't talk to him, but it's not that he doesn't want to be with him she.

Fang Xuan said: "This is not easy. Your willingness to talk with us shows that you respect us in your heart, and it's not like raising a thing. You can touch it when you like it, and put it aside on weekdays." Thinking of this, Fang Xuan was narrow-minded. He smiled and said, "Also, do you know? There are not too many people who wanted to be my guest at the beginning. You are neither the most powerful nor the most considerate and gentle, but why do I only love you?"
