long distance

"What's the matter?" Su Fangmu hurriedly wanted to help Yin'e up, but Yin'e couldn't get up as if she had taken root.

"Sister..." Yin'e lowered her head and bit her lip, "Yin'e did something today, I hope sister will not blame her."

"There's no need to be so alienated between you and my sisters. Whatever it is, just get up and say it."

Yin'e raised her head and saw Su Fangmu's face was gentle, she got up after thinking about it, if she didn't want to get up again, it would be too hypocritical.

"It's windy here, let's go in and talk about it." Su Fangmu pulled Yin'e into the shop.

After closing the door panel, Su Fangmu lit a candle and placed it on the table used to settle accounts on weekdays.Sitting down face to face with Yin'e, the rouge shop, which was empty during the day, actually felt a bit depressed at this moment.However, the two sisters faced each other with a candle, and they seemed much closer than in the daytime.Only at such moments can they sit down quietly and say a few words of affection to each other.Although blood is thicker than water in sisterly love, but the different lives of the two of them in the past seven years have indeed created an unclear and insurmountable chasm between the two, and one of them has to take a step first to get closer .However, when Yin'e was willing to be the one who went first, Su Fangmu actually took a few steps back. Now when Su Fangmu was willing to be the one who stepped forward, Yin'e had an unspeakable secret.

But at this moment, the light of the lamps and candles poured over the table, dyeing the two people's fair faces with a bit of warmth, and in an instant, the gully separating them disappeared.

"I know that my sister has been arranging my marriage with all her heart, and she has delayed a lot of business because of this. However, I...have not been able to fully accept my sister's painstaking efforts..."

Su Fangmu frowned, "What did you do?"

Yin'e moved her lips, and after a while she pursed her lips and raised her head, a trace of determination flashed in her cold and affectionate eyes, "I...I told Mr. Qi everything..."

As soon as this remark came out, there was silence everywhere.

To Yin'e's surprise, Su Fangmu didn't scold her, and didn't do anything.Instead, the whole person froze in position and did not move for a long time.

Yin'e was a little scared, she stretched out her hand and lightly pushed Su Fangmu's arm, and looked at Su Fangmu with guilt, this elder sister who worked hard for her and hoped that she would live a happy life, "Sister... "

"What did Mr. Qi say?" Su Fangmu turned his face slightly.

"Ah?" Yin'e didn't expect Su Fangmu to say this suddenly.

"What did Mr. Qi say?" Su Fangmu repeated.

Yin'e was surprised that Su Fangmu couldn't see the slightest bit of bewilderment and loss of composure. He didn't know if he was too shocked to react, or he was so calm that he was terribly calm.At this moment, Yin'e realized that she couldn't see through her sister at all.

"I'm asking you, what did Mr. Qi say." Su Fangmu repeated it again, this time without the sense of doubt just now, but with a sense of cold interrogation.

"Master Qi, Mr. Qi, he said..." Yin'e had never seen Su Fangmu like this before. Su Fangmu had always been the gentle and gentle elder sister in her eyes. This sudden change caught her by surprise, but She has no time to adapt at all now, facing Su Fangmu, she can only finish her answer quickly, "He said he will go home and think about it, it will take a little time."

"I will look for him in three days." Su Fangmu left without looking at Yin'e again.

Yin'e let out a long sigh of relief when she watched Su Fangmu's clothes disappear into the corridor.Although Su Fangmu looked very strange just now, she didn't feel half separated in her heart. It seemed that at that moment just now, she really broke the last layer of membrane with her sister.She seems to understand the relationship between Su Fangmu and Changli. Changli has always been most afraid of Su Fangmu. where terrible.In the eyes of everyone, Su Fangmu is decent and gentle, like the haze of the distant mountains soaked in the rosy clouds, and the layers are glowing with a soft and warm halo, which makes people feel very comfortable when they meet.

But today, Yin'e saw another sister.That person will not have those gentle but false smiles, giving people a seemingly shallow but hard to understand feeling, she is so real.

In fact, Su Fangmu was never a saint. She would leave her hometown for a child because the child was long away.And for other people, so what if it is used?For her family, her sister, she can do anything.

Yin'e smiled silently, and the candlelight on the table trembled slightly due to the night wind that slightly penetrated under the window screen.In Luocheng, rumors circulated that Yin'e, an oiran lady in the Suxiang Tower, was cold and ruthless, and under the plain gauze curtain behind the jade pear tree, she did not know how many hearts of admiration had been crushed.And Su Fangmu, the proprietress of the newly opened rouge shop in Luocheng, is gentle, elegant and knowledgeable, and after only a year of coming here, word of mouth has spread throughout the city, and she should be like this when marrying a wife.

But how many people know that she, Su Yin'e, is actually hot under her cold shell, and her elder sister, Su Fangmu who smiles warmly at everyone in everyone's eyes, is a truly ruthless person.

This world is really ridiculous.

In the room, Changli had already slept peacefully, her curled long eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on her delicate face, she was sleeping quietly like a delicate doll, no one dared to touch it lightly, for fear of It breaks when you touch it, it shatters.

Su Fangmu didn't fall asleep, but sat beside Changli, quietly watching the sleeping face of the person on the bed.

Su Fangmu was very conflicted. She had lived for 20 years. Although she never really cared about the well-being of outsiders, she felt that she had never done anything that harmed others and benefited herself.But right now, if Yin'e wants to be happy and not be treated lightly by her future husband's family, she must find a way to hide some unbearable truths. Good candidate.But in the final analysis, this marriage was indeed somewhat unfair to that young master Qi.After all, in this world, it is unfair to any husband to marry a wife who once belonged to another person physically and mentally. The most important thing is that this young master Qi still has a heart for Yin'e, and Now they are taking this young master Qi as a dose of "medicine".

"Changli, I really don't know what to do." Su Fangmu vomited the pain in her heart for the first time, but it was also when Changli was sleeping soundly and no one was around.She stretched out her hand to hold Chang Li's hand, but when she touched the quilt, she realized that her palm was cold.If they met Chang Li, they might wake her up from the cold, so they resentfully withdrew their hands, and put them into each other's cuffs to keep warm.

"I will go to see that Mr. Qi in three days. I don't know what I will say or do for Yin'e."

"Changli, in fact, I also have many times when I don't know how to deal with the things in front of me. After I make many decisions, there will be a long period of time to ask myself whether I am doing right or wrong."

Su Fangmu looked at Changli's sleeping face, and a line of tears rolled down his cheeks.

"But there's only one thing I've never given much thought to. Do you know what it is?"

"This thing is, I left Anning Village for you."

I will never admit that the seed planted by one of your eyes that night in the dry valley, inadvertently and slowly sprouting, has already formed a cage to trap me in it, but I am willing to fall into it until now, it is difficult Extricate yourself.

Some words, I will wait until you grow up to tell me your answer before telling you.If I don't wait for your reply, then I may never tell you until I die.Even when you are fast asleep.

Three days later, Su Fangmu made the last order in her rouge shop.Chang Li called out, "These are frankincense honey balls customized by Mrs. Li. Don't forget to tell Mrs. Li that these spices will be better smoked over a fire. She always smokes directly, it's too wasteful."

Chang Li tilted his head, "Su Fangmu, don't you usually say that they smoke as much as they like, and it's none of our business to waste money, so let me stop talking?"

"If you tell me to say that, just say that, what are you talking about, the skin is itchy again, isn't it?"

"Oh, oh, I see, don't be aggressive!" Changli took Sheng Xiang's box depressedly, and asked Su Fangmu, "Su Fangmu, you're a little weird today!"

"Strange? I'm not surprised." Su Fangmu felt a little guilty about Changli.

"You have a lot of things going on today. You have never been like this before. What happened? What are you going to do after you get dressed up today?" Changli is not a sensitive child, but she can always observe Su Fangmu meticulous.

"I don't know what will happen today." Su Fangmu showed a confused look in front of Changli for the first time.

"Su Fangmu, why don't you go with me to deliver the goods. Anyway, there are not many goods today. The two boxes of Luo Dai you gave me before are for Miss Gao, and the scented honey pills are for Mrs. Li. The two of them It's just on the same street, you and I will drop it off together, it won't delay you!" Changli looked up at Su Fangmu cheerfully, his eyes full of anticipation.

Su Fangmu knew that it wasn't that she didn't want to deliver the goods, but that she looked at herself a little strangely and worried and wanted to follow.This thought touched her very much, but since the matter was so important, she still refused Chang Li, "No need, children should not care about adults' business."

Changli was not happy when he heard this sentence, he pouted his mouth and puffed up his face and said dissatisfiedly: "I care about you! Su Fangmu, don't always use this sentence to oppress me!"

After finishing speaking, Changli ran out of the shop angrily holding three boxes of goods.Only Su Fangmu was left standing in the shop blankly.

"Long away, long away..." Su Fangmu murmured unconsciously.

It turned out that in the end she still couldn't let go of the long distance.But Yin'e is her younger sister after all, and once the Qi family finds out about Yin'e, a family that doesn't stick to etiquette will have a rift in their hearts, and even won't let Yin'e pass through.If even the Qi family is unwilling, then there probably won't be any family in Luocheng willing.After all, which family would be willing to let their son marry a regular wife with such a past?And if she does not become a regular wife, Lun Yin'e's background may not be much better in the future.The business of rouge and fragrant rice that she runs has seen too many rich families.The women living in Qinlou and Chuguan were lucky enough to marry into the official's family. They either lived their lives swallowing their anger, or were given to other men as gifts by their husbands.Some even took their last breath in a cold and dark room, and when they died, they were naked and uncollected.In the final analysis, it is not a good end.

She is Yin'e's older sister, the only relative.It is said that the eldest sister is like a mother, and this is a responsibility she cannot shirk.She must make her sister happy.The Qi family values ​​friendship, so she will bet her life on the Qi family's friendship.

Changli, it's fine if you hold your breath.In this way, I won't trip you up, and won't embarrass you.When you grow up, you can live the life you want without being tied by me.

Those who want to say to you, I don't know if there is a chance to tell you in this life.
