Jincheng flower hour

The county government wanted to rebuild the cloth city, so Zhuang Bing and a group of merchants went to the county government office to discuss in the morning, and Huo Yuqi received them.

Zhuang Bing and the others gathered in the county mansion, just as Liu Hong was leaving the mansion, many merchants were released by Liu Hong himself after the city was destroyed. Thanks to Liu Hong's kindness, he was full of praise for this young and promising son of the King of Han.

Liu Hong straddled his horse and wanted to leave, the merchants lined up to salute, Liu Hong nodded solemnly, his eyes swept over the crowd, and fell on Zhuang Bing for a while, he recognized Zhuang Bing.

In Zhuang Bing's memory, Liu Hong looked like he was poor when he was young. At that time, he always wore Zhuang Yang's old clothes and followed Zhuang Yang.For a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, he is tall, skilled in martial arts, and has a calm temperament that is different from ordinary children.

Now, Liu Hong, who is an aristocrat, is handsome and dignified, with a dignified appearance, wielding a sword and crowning jade, riding a tall horse, followed by a group of majestic attendants in brocade clothes, anyone who sees him will avoid paying attention.

Just such a person, more than a year ago, he personally visited the banker, without any style.But Zhuang Bing knew that it was because of the deep friendship between Liu Hong and his younger brother Zhuang Yang.

Zhuang Bing sometimes has strange ideas, but rejects them.This person's identity is already extraordinary, and it is impossible for him to be as attached to A Yang as he was when he was young.

The merchants watched Liu Hong leave respectfully, and then filed into the county mansion, looking happy.

In the past, under the rule of the king of Shu, if the county government called them, they would all be crying and mourning. It would not only mean that they would be extorted of property, but they might lose their freedom and even their lives.

Zhuang Bing found Mu Zheng among the merchants.Unlike them walking, Mu Zheng was carried in by someone.

Mu Zheng can be regarded as one of the richest people in Jinguan City, so he was imprisoned earlier, poor this fat man, lost his appearance during the detention, and left scars all over his body.

Zhuang Bing was friendly and approached Mu Zheng to greet him. When Mu Zheng saw Zhuang Bing, he looked guilty and wished he had no place to hide.

It was he who couldn't stand the torture and told Wei Chuan that Gong Zihong and Zhuang Yang were close friends.

Zhuang Bing didn't know it at all, but seeing Mu Zheng's shameless look, he felt something was wrong.As a smart businessman, Zhuang Bing naturally guessed the reason.But the Zhuang family is generous, knowing that he had to confess because he was tortured, and they will not ask him for his life.

At this time in the villa, the female family members gathered in the room to do needlework, while Zhuang Yang and Zhuang Ping were downstairs tidying up the yard, weeding, sweeping fallen leaves and burning them.

Liu Hong came to the mansion in the afternoon. He came from the King of Han's side, accompanied by six people, except for the four guards, one was Dachun and the other was Wuji.

Hearing Ah Yi yelling loudly at the gate of the courtyard, Zhuang Yang and Zhuang Ping rushed over, and both of them saluted Liu Honghe Wuji together.

Zhuang Yang intuitively felt that Liu Hong had lost a lot of weight, the lines on his face were more resolute, and his brows were sharp.It has been three days since the Han army entered Jinguan City. During these three days, he didn't have a good rest, and he probably didn't eat well.

The noise in the courtyard had already led the female family members out of the room. They stood on the railing on the second floor and peeped secretly.When Zhuang Lan saw it was Liu Hong, she blurted out because of her happiness: "It's brother Ah Hong."

Liu Hong and Wuji in the courtyard raised their heads when they heard the voice, and looked at Zhuang Lan.

Zhuang Lan's hair is too short to be braided like a woman's hairstyle, but tied into a bun like a man's. His eyes fell on Zhuang Lan with no doubts, wondering if this person is a man or a woman?

Zhuang Yang and Zhuang Ping invited the two sons into the hall and sat down to talk.The guards stayed in the courtyard, and Dachun went to find his wife and daughter by himself.He came over this time and took his wife and daughter away by the way.

Liu Hong first asked Zhuang Yang if he recovered from his foot injury?He also asked Zhuang Ping where he was studying now.

When the three of them talked, they sat upright and listened carefully, showing a good upbringing.

Zhuang Lan liked her brother Ahong very much—as much as she liked her elder brother, and she was also curious about Wuji. She groped downstairs, hiding aside and poking around.

"Alan?"

Liu Hong had noticed her early and looked towards the door where Zhuang Lan was hiding.

Zhuang Lan walked out in embarrassment, came over to salute Liu Hong, and said respectfully, "My lord."

She looked at Wuji, wondering what to call it, and hesitated for a while.

"Alan, this is my brother Wuji."

For Zhuang Lan, Liu Hong treated her like a younger sister and spoke kindly.

"I pay my respects to the young master Wuji."

Zhuang Lan practiced the etiquette honestly, and retreated to Zhuang Yang's side gracefully.

Wuji just nodded, his face was childish and his demeanor was mature.

Zhuang Lan looks pretty, but her words and demeanor don't have a trace of charm, she is natural and calm, not to mention wearing a man's hair bun, which is impressive.

That day Liu Hong stayed at Zhuang's house for a while, and said to Zhuang Yang: "There is something in the house, I would like to ask Erlang to discuss it." This was probably an excuse, Zhuang Yang did not refuse, he responded well and asked Ah Yi to prepare the horse.

Resting at home these days, Zhuang Yang's leg injury has healed a lot, and he can walk slowly without affecting travel.

Ah Yi led the horse, and Zhuang Yang tiptoed to get on the horse. Before Zhuang Ping could help, Liu Hong held Zhuang Yang's slender waist with both hands, and lifted it up easily. Zhuang Yang landed firmly on the horse's back.

Just in the middle of this mention, Zhuang Lan noticed the belt hook on Liu Hong's waist, which was a copper belt hook in the shape of a swan bird, and it was her brother's belt hook.

Zhuang Lan was stunned, she took a step back unconsciously, was supported by Zhuang Ping, asked her what was wrong in a low voice, Zhuang Lan shook her head.

Undoubtedly, Zhuang Lan quickly remembered that Zhuang Yang always hid a golden dragon-shaped belt hook under his pillow, and guessed its origin.

Brother and Hiro exchanged belt hooks?

Zhuang Lan has reached the age of first love, she knows the meaning of exchanging hooks.

She was so shocked for a moment that when Zhuang Lan came back to her senses, Zhuang Yang and Liu Hong had already left without a trace.

After leaving the mansion, Wuji was escorted back to Shu Palace by two guards, while Liu Hong and Zhuang Yang went to the county mansion.

The two of them drive side by side, occasionally talking a few words, these are all common words, in front of outsiders, the two of them will not behave too intimately.

When he came to the inner courtyard of the county mansion, Liu Hong closed the door, hugged Zhuang Yang suddenly, and kissed Zhuang Yang's neck.

In broad daylight, there was the sound of servants coming and going outside the door, Zhuang Yang thought Liu Hong was going to do something, pushed Liu Hong away with both hands, hit Liu Hong's abdomen, the pain made Liu Hong almost kneel in front of Zhuang Yang.

"Hiro?"

Zhuang Yang panicked and grabbed Liu Hong's clothes.

Liu Hong raised his body, grinning his teeth in pain, but still hugged Zhuang Yang unwillingly, sniffing the familiar aura on Zhuang Yang, looking satisfied.Zhuang Yang wanted to check Liu Hong's abdomen, but Liu Hong held Zhuang Yang's hand and said nonchalantly, "I got a little injury during the siege, it's okay."

Zhuang Yang pulled out his hand and touched Liu Hong's face. Liu Hong closed his eyes and rubbed his cheek against Zhuang Yang's palm. He never concealed his infatuation. Zhuang Yang withdrew his hand and murmured: "Ah Hong, you've lost weight."

Liu Hong opened his eyes, smiled peacefully, and said: "These days are really tiring, and I just want to ask Erlang to help me share my worries."

"it is good."

Zhuang Yang agreed that if there was something he could help, he would not refuse.

Seeing that Zhuang Yang agreed, Liu Hong immediately took an official seal from the book case, handed it to Zhuang Yang, and said with a smile: "I am short of a long history in my house."

His series of actions can be said to be done in one go, and he has planned for a long time.

Zhuang Yang didn't dare to take it. He went to the desk and checked other official seals. He found a small official seal belonging to the general's family. Zhuang Yang said: "Chang Shi is the general's assistant officer, also known as Biejia, you give it to me , are you not afraid of other people's comments?"

If the two want to spend this precious time together safely, they must proceed with caution.

"What can you talk about, Erlang has such a talent."

Thinking that at his young age, he could write down the official positions and duties of hundreds of officials in a book. Liu Hong knew that his Erlang, like Mr. Zimu, did not like to show off his talents, but was also very talented.

"It's good to be a subordinate."

Zhuang Yang wants a small and inconspicuous official position.

Liu Hong looked distressed. He felt that Zhuang Yang had been wronged. He felt that if it wasn't for the special relationship between him and Zhuang Yang, Zhuang Yang was always scrupulous.

"Ah Hiroshi, I like to be free, and it's good to be able to live my life freely."

There was no scruple between Zhuang Yang and Liu Hong about taking away the seal of the vassal, otherwise there would be no such thing as taking the official seal without authorization if he wanted to be an official.

Hearing Zhuang Yang's words, Liu Hong felt better. It is true that Erlang has such a temperament, and he has nothing to do with the world.

As Liu Hong's staff, Zhuang Yang can stay by Liu Hong's side, no matter how low his official position is, he will not attract attention.

After taking the official seal, Zhuang Yang changed into an official uniform and went to the official office to do business. He has always been refined and friendly, and his colleagues like him.

Huo Yuqi heard that Zhuang Yang was in the mansion, so he called Zhuang Yang out alone, came to a secluded place, and asked him in a low voice: "Has Zhuang Sheng seen Mr. Zimu recently?" Zhuang Yang answered truthfully that he had not.When Huo Yuqi posted it, he almost bit Zhuang Yang's ear and said, "There are rumors that Wei Jia was rescued by Mr. Zimu." He obviously knows all about the post of sheriff and what happened in Jinguan City.

"Young Master seems to intend not to pursue it, but if the King of Han knows about it, it will be bad."

Huo Yuqi had a good friendship with Zhou Jing, which is why he tipped off Zhuang Yang.

But now that Huo Yuqi has a job, he can't inquire about Zhou Jing, he can only pretend that he doesn't know.

"Thank you, Mr. Huo, for letting me know."

Zhuang Yang saluted, he knew Huo Sheng's intentions.

Huo Yuqi said no, he and Zhou Jing are also friends.

Before leaving, Huo Yuqi did not forget to say: "With Zhuang Sheng's talent, he is worthy of being a doctor. How can he take a position as a subordinate, and he will be overqualified and useless."

Zhuang Yang just smiled and didn't try to defend himself.This official position allowed him to be by Liu Hong's side during this period of time without attracting attention, which seemed to him very satisfactory.

At dusk that day, Zhuang Yang was about to go home, but as soon as he stepped out of the gate, he was called to the courtyard by Liu Hong's attendants.At this time, Liu Hong got away from his official duties and was in his bedroom.

Zhuang Yang followed his attendants to the outside of Liu Hong's bedroom, but the attendants stopped, and Zhuang Yang stepped forward.

Pushing open the door, he walked into the huge living room. Hearing the woman's crisp voice, Zhuang Yang pushed aside layers of curtains and saw Liu Hong who was changing clothes.

Two young and beauties serve Liu Hong, one standing and the other squatting, both of them are graceful and charming.Liu Hong had wet hair, and his muscular upper body was naked. He was only wearing a pair of white trousers, which were stained with water.A beautiful girl is wrapping her white arms around Liu Hong's waist, and is tying a belt for Liu Hong, while the other is helping Liu Hong brush her hair. She is petite, and she stands on tiptoe to wipe her hair feet, and half of his body was attached to Liu Hong's back.Zhuang Yang looked away from the women, and he noticed that there was a wound on Liu Hong's abdomen, which was tightly bandaged and there was no trace of water.Liu Hong's upper body should have just been wiped with a damp cloth. As for who wiped his body, it goes without saying.

These women are really warm and fragrant, even Zhuang Yang at this time thinks they are beautiful.

"Go down."

Liu Hong sent Mei Ji away, he took off a light robe, put it on his body, and hurriedly greeted Zhuang Yang.

The two women obediently left, although they did not forget to sneak a glance at Zhuang Yang before they left.Zhuang Yang was also looking at them, and the attire of the two women caught Zhuang Yang's attention. They were dressed luxuriously and had jewels all over their heads.

These two are not maids, their status is much higher.

"They were originally maids of honor in the Palace of Shu, and were later given to the generals as rewards."

Seeing that Zhuang Yang's gaze followed Mei Ji, Liu Hong told him honestly that he didn't want Zhuang Yang to think that this was the beautiful concubine he bought himself.

"Ah."

Zhuang Yang was indifferent, he didn't mean to question.

With Liu Hong's status, it's strange that he doesn't have many dancers and concubines around him.As Liu Hong, there will always be beautiful women in his arms.However, Zhuang Yang wouldn't care about these things, or he couldn't care about them.

Liu Hong's robe was untied and his long hair was loose. His appearance at this time was very attractive, and Zhuang Yang tried to avoid it.Liu Hong said with a smile: "I want to stay with Erlang for dinner, so I asked someone to hold a banquet in the attic."

Zhuang Yang didn't reply, he sized Liu Hong up and said after a while, "Ah Hong, come here."

Liu Hong obediently followed Zhuang Yang to the mirror stage. Zhuang Yang combed Liu Hong's hair, tied it in a bun, and helped Liu Hong put on his robe and tied his belt. Zhuang Yang's hand was caught by Liu Hong.

From the time Zhuang Yang entered the room to now, his expression was cold, without a hint of a smile. Liu Hong cared so much about him, how could he not notice it.

Liu Hong held Zhuang Yang's hand and raised it to kiss the knuckles of his fingers. Zhuang Yang withdrew his hand and knelt aside, silent and melancholy.

"Erro."

Liu Hong touched Zhuang Yang's face, his eyes were full of infatuation.Liu Hong grabbed Zhuang Yang's chin and wanted to kiss Zhuang Yang, but Zhuang Yang stood up and refused. He moved a lot. Seeing his calm expression, his heart might be overwhelmed.

This meant that he was not allowed to kiss, Liu Hong did not dare to kiss.

The setting sun shone outside the window, the sky was still dark, and the evening wind blew the curtains.

That night, Liu Hong went to the left and right, and was alone with Zhuang Yang.The doors and windows were closed, the candles were dimly lit, and the curtains were heavy.There were two figures on the dark couch.

Zhuang Yang leaned his head on Liu Hong's shoulder, his hair dripping with sweat.Liu Hong hugged him and wanted to move into the couch, but Zhuang Yang pressed Liu Hong's shoulders with both hands, preventing him from moving.

"Jiro?"

"Don't go."

Zhuang Yang's voice was hoarse, and it was rare to hear stubbornness from his words.

"It's cold here."

The night wind blew open a window, and the cold wind poured in directly, making it chilly.There was no one in the courtyard, and Liu Hong's bedroom was located on the second floor, so there was no need to be afraid of being seen.

Liu Hong saved a few words, but still picked up Zhuang Yang and put him in the leeward position.He pulled the quilt to cover Zhuang Yang, and Zhuang Yang closed his tired eyes as if he had given up struggling.

Liu Hong combed Zhuang Yang's wet hair, and he pressed a kiss on Zhuang Yang's lips.Erlang didn't kiss him tonight, which made him very concerned.

Liu Hong felt that he had done something wrong, and he felt flustered.He hugged Zhuang Yang, and only by wrapping Zhuang Yang's warm body in his arms, could he feel less flustered.

"Erlang, is it because of those two girls that you don't want to kiss me?"

Liu Hong was aggrieved when asked.Since he returned to Chang'an, there was a woman by his side to help him bathe and change clothes. He was used to it, but he didn't realize that it was hard for ordinary people not to think about it when they saw it.

"I haven't touched them."

Their token is a promise of body and mind, isn't it?Liu Hong would not break his promise, and at most he only admired the most beautiful women in the world, and he would not think about them in that way.

Zhuang Yang knew he shouldn't care, but he couldn't restrain his emotions.Hearing the two women mentioned in Liu Hong's mouth at this time, Zhuang Yang's heart was complicated, and he had to face the selfish side of his heart.

"Ahiro, I..."

Zhuang Yang took a deep breath, not only seeing it, but even thinking about it was extremely painful.However, I will gradually get used to it, as long as the two are not together, they will never see each other when they are separated.It would be good to wait for Liu Ahhong to go back to Chang'an, no matter how deep the emotion is, it will be blocked by time and distance.

"Erlang doesn't want me to be owned by others, right?"

Liu Hongneng understood that he didn't want Erlang to be owned by others either.

"Erlang, if I should have a wife, that person must be Erlang."

Liu Hong put his arms around Zhuang Yang's waist, Liu Hong was very happy to hear Zhuang Yang's words, even though Zhuang Yang didn't say it clearly.

"Shut up nonsense."

Zhuang Yang reprimanded him lightly, he anxiously pushed Liu Hong with his elbow, Liu Hong suffered from pain and shrank tiredly.

"Hiro."

Zhuang Yang was flustered, turned over and checked Liu Hong's abdomen, and sure enough, his abdomen was bright red.Zhuang Yang was so anxious that he unwrapped the bandaged cloth and wanted to check the wound. His fingers were trembling all the time, and he kept asking, "Ah Hong, does it hurt?" Liu Hong grabbed Zhuang Yang's hand and whispered to Zhuang Yang's ear The voice said: "It doesn't hurt, it's quite happy."

Zhuang Yang paused, his cheeks became hot, and he rarely blushed.Only then did he realize that it was caused earlier, not his own elbow injury.

Liu Hong pressed a kiss on the corner of Zhuang Yang's lips. He pressed Zhuang Yang's ear and wanted to say something, but Zhuang Yang didn't want to hear it, so he stopped him: "Don't say any more."
