Tang Qinchu was a little tired from crying, and sat on the stone bench in the gazebo, leaning on Gong Jiu's shoulder and fell asleep soundly. Gong Jiu stroked Tang Qinchu's head, and closed the clothes he put on her body for her.

The thin hair fluttered irregularly in the cold wind, leaving undulating shadows on the girl's face under the faint moonlight.

Tang Qinchu slept soundly, chased after Lu Xiaofeng for so long at night, ran out to find Gong Jiu for most of the night, and had already played chess with Duke Zhou for a long time.

Still a kid.

Gong Jiu looked at Tang Qinchu's sleeping face that was about to drool, and shook his head.

A child's mind is the easiest to guess, the words "worried" and "nervous" are written on her face, how could he not guess that she will come to him.

Sigh, Chu'er is such a road idiot, if he hadn't followed all the way, would she have made do and fell asleep lying here?

The corners of Gong Jiu's lips raised slightly, Chu'er is now asleep, in his arms.

within reach.

However, this is not always good.

This is the Hua family, not a place where he can cover the sky with his hands.

He can disregard fame, but Chu'er still has to take care of it.

Perhaps, sending it to the side of Huamanlou is a better and safer choice.

After thinking about it again and again, Gong Jiu carefully picked up Tang Qinchu, stepped on the branches and roof ridges unhurriedly, and went to Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng's room.

He suffered an internal injury and did not dare to fly too fast, but because of years of practice, he landed silently.

Just happened to meet Jin Jiuling who was eavesdropping at the door.

Gong Jiu hugged Tang Qinchu and walked behind Jin Jiuling silently.

Jin Jiuling bowed his back and eavesdropped intently, not noticing that someone behind him was staring at him coldly.

Hua Manlou's voice suddenly came from inside: "Friends outside, please come in."

Jin Jiuling pushed open the door and smiled foolishly at Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou who were inside, "I didn't hear anything, haha."

Hua Manlou didn't look at him, but looked behind him instead.

"who?"

The wind, Huamanlou felt that the wind had bypassed a person.

Lu Xiaofeng patted his head, "Ah! It's... Ah Chu..."

Under Gong Jiu's cold gaze, Lu Xiaofeng realized that Tang Qinchu had fallen asleep, and his voice dropped.

Lu Xiaofeng: Brother Ah Chu's eyes are about to eat me!

Jin Jiuling looked at Gong Jiu in embarrassment. As the head of the Six Gates, he often dealt with the royal family. Of course, he had also met the head of the Taiping Palace, Prince Taiping's son.

Gong Jiu nodded at him, strode away from him, and put Tang Qinchu into Hua Manlou's hand.

Hua Manlou took it carefully.

Tang Qinchu was blown by the small wind outside for a long time, and cried again, her little face was flushed, she seemed to feel that she had changed to a heater, shrunk her body, shrunk back to Huamanlou's chest, and pushed her head deeply buried in the clothes that Gong Jiu put on her body.

Gong Jiu whispered to Hua Manlou: "Take good care of her..."

Hua Manlou hugged Tang Qinchu into his arms, glanced at Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng touched his nose, then turned to look at Jin Jiuling, "Jin Datou, the weather outside is fine, we haven't talked for a long time, why don't we enjoy the moon?" A drink?"

The people in this room are all smart people, Jin Jiuling walked down the steps tactfully, although he was very tired, he still went out with Lu Xiaofeng to "watch the moon and drink".

The door was closed.

Hua Manlou put Tang Qinchu on the bed behind the screen, covered her with a thin quilt, and turned around to soak a towel and wipe Tang Qinchu's face.

A pair of joints clearly handed over the towel.

"Give."

Hua Manlou seemed to have already thought about it, so instead of taking the towel, she got up, stood aside, and said to Gong Jiu, "Come here."

Gong Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then sat down calmly, and wiped Tang Qinchu's face.

Perhaps feeling a foreign object touching her face, Tang Qinchu frowned and turned inside out.

Gong Jiu leaned over with his whole body, and made his movements lighter.

This time Tang Qinchu didn't hide any more, instead he slept soundly, smacking his mouth a few times.

There is tenderness in Gong Jiu's eyes.

Hua Manlou smiled softly, "You are also very happy."

It is an affirmative sentence, not an interrogative sentence.

Gong Jiu responded lightly.

"Ah."

Tang Qinchu shrank back again.

Hua Manlou stopped making a sound, and Gong Jiu walked around the screen and sat on the wooden table by the window.

Hua Manlou poured Gong Jiu a cup of tea, "Please."

Gong Jiu picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The two did not speak.

It was Hua Manlou who broke the silence, "I've always wanted to...meet A-mei's Ninth Brother."

"That Brother Ninth, who my younger sister always dreamed of."

Gong Jiu then asked: "Are you sleeping with her?"

Hua Manlou laughed, the man's possessiveness, alas, "When she went to Datong Dazhi to ask questions, the weather was bad and she had a high fever at night."

Gong Jiu blushed, "Oh."

Hua Manlou touched the rim of the teacup, and said softly, "When I met A-Mei, she gave me the feeling that..."

Hua Manlou searched for an adjective, "A cat that is strong on the outside but hard on the inside."

Gong Jiu raised an eyebrow.

Hua Manlou continued: "How should I put it? She obviously wants to be arrogant, but she feels that she lacks confidence. Sixth Brother has never noticed it, but I have noticed this little girl. When she first appeared, she mentioned it to me once." Wake up, I didn't care, but I really did what she said, and was deceived. The second time I saw her, I could hear the frustration of 'it really is the same' from her tone."

Speaking of this, Gong Jiu could see a gentle smile on the corner of Hua Manlou's mouth.

"It's very strange. She obviously conforms to everyone's ladylike standards, but she doesn't have a spoiled arrogance. Instead, when encountering things, she will be unable to move her legs, and she will be a little weak. I think she is probably a noble family who depends on others. Girl."

"Amei, she sneaked out alone and forced herself to deal with others. She probably wanted to be self-reliant and self-improving. This reminded me of me back then." Hua Manlou sighed softly, "At that time When I was blind just now, the sympathy and care of my family made me very uncomfortable. I thought, as a person with limbs intact, why can’t I survive by myself? Am I going to be taken care of for the rest of my life? I moved secretly go out."

"At the beginning, I was also very cowardly, I would be clumsy, I would not like to talk to people, and I would hate people who called themselves 'blind'. Not everyone is born open-minded. Open-minded sounds nice, but it is actually some sad people who have encountered misfortune. A life attitude that you force yourself to have."

Hua Manlou laughed at himself, but his face remained stable.

"Seeing Amei, I saw myself struggling to overcome difficulties at that time. At that time, Sixth Brother helped me a lot. He didn't sympathize with me and pity me. He taught me how to live, how not to be served by others. I can live a comfortable life. Although what he does every day is very simple, just a few words of greeting and encouragement, but if Brother Six hadn’t helped me at the time, I think I might not be able to get out of the shadows now.”

"When my sister asked Datong Dazhi if my eyes could be cured, I thought, can I give my sister a hand, just like the sixth brother gave me a hand. Give me a hand, and everything will be fine. It's different."

"I will pamper her and make her happy, but I will not hinder her from getting to know more people, nor will I keep her in captivity, but let her know the sky beyond the sky and the people beyond people, let her Don't be dazed, and really speak hard. She is my Huamanlou's younger sister, the princess of the Hua family, there is no need to be timid."

Gong Jiu listened quietly to Hua Manlou's words.

He already understood Hua Manlou's voice-over

If you don't want to continue to carry Ah Chu on your back, then she is not homeless.

The Hua family can raise her.

Was Hua ManLou trying to take Chu'er... away?

Gong Jiu clenched her fists, pursed her lips, and asked a little angrily: "Could it be that the Hua family is the son of the Seventh Master?"

Hua Manlou smiled slightly, but was not angry.

"Of course not. As a businessman, how could he do some loss-making business. My father has already recognized my younger sister at the family banquet, and I have been in charge of my own business in the past few years. I have saved a lot of money, so naturally I have no spare energy for the future. Sister is worried."

Hua Manlou raised his lowered head, met Gong Jiu's with his dull eyes, and said, "I hope you can think clearly."

"Think about what?"

"Think about whether you can give Amei the life she can look forward to."

Gong Jiu hated Huamanlou very much at this time. For the first time in so many years, he couldn't bear it and wanted to get angry. He wanted to throw the teacup in Huamanlou's face to break this damn gentle Face.

Why!Obviously a blind man, but damn thorough!Damn clear!

His father treated Chu'er like a pawn, and his life was firmly in his father's hands.

The future, what is the future?

He can only give Chu'er boundless darkness, even a little bit of light, he can't give Chu'er! !

The teacup in Gong Jiu's hand was overwhelmed and broke.

Hua Manlou laughed softly.

Gong Jiu looked at Hua Man Lou with a cold face, "Did the Seventh Young Master keep me here to laugh at me?"

Hua Manlou shook his head and sighed: "No, on the contrary, I want you to believe my sincerity."

Hua Manlou paused, and then said: "Maybe you don't know that sister's weakness is not only you, but she is patient and works hard step by step. Well, the future she wants is to be with you Let's go together, I just want to make sure of your mind."

Gong Jiu snorted, with his usual contempt in his voice, "As you are her seventh brother?"

Hua Manlou nodded seriously, "Yes, as my seventh brother."

Gong Jiu stopped talking.

Hua Manlou said: "My sister is persisting, but you stubbornly go with the flow, completely ignoring my sister's thoughts. I think this is a kind of harm to my sister."

Gong Jiu was silent for a while, and said affirmatively, "I have no intention of ignoring her."

Hua Manlou smiled, "Then did you show it to her? If you don't show it to her, then she will never know that you care about her."

Gong Jiu was startled.

Hua Manlou seemed to have sensed Gong Jiu's embarrassment, and didn't say much, but gently rubbed the teacup in his hand.

After a long time, Gong Jiu said with difficulty: "I really can't guarantee anything now."

After saying this, he continued to struggle weakly: "But I will work hard and try."

Hua Manlou nodded, "I hope you can face up to your mentality."

"I will."

Gong Jiu stood up and said, "It's getting late."

Hua Manlou also stood up, walked around the table, and walked towards the wooden door with Gong Jiu, "So, we have formed an alliance for a short time?"

Gong Jiu stopped in her tracks, and the expression on her face was indescribable, "Do you know who you are allied with?"

Hua Manlou was rare, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, "Why don't you know."

Gong Jiu heard him say in a low voice: "His Royal Highness Prince Taiping."
