Wind and Rain Empire

Zhang Tianyu stood at the entrance of the casino to comfort Li Siqin, he took the opportunity to put his hands on Li Siqin's shoulders, and said softly

"Princess, General Lan is a good gambler. Once she gambles, she loses her entire family and borrows money everywhere. Her house is desolate and there is only one servant. If you marry her, you will have a hard life in the future." up"

Li Siqin choked up crying

"You... you... you let go of your hands"

"Oh……"

Zhang Tianyu hastily let go

Li Siqin continued to choke up

"I'm angry... It's not that I'm angry... It's not that he lost... It's that he, he actually dared to kill me, me, my father... and, I haven't been so, so fierce..."

"Oh, it's normal for a woman to be raped by a man. Which wife hasn't been raped by her husband! (Turning point) But if it were me, I wouldn't be violent to my beloved wife"

Li Siqin's nose turned red from crying, and she stared at Zhang Tianyu with teary eyes

"really?"

Zhang Tianyu looked at Li Siqin tenderly

"Really, I could swear it"

Li Siqin laughed through tears

"It turns out that the reason why he murdered me was because he regarded me as his wife! It turns out that I blamed him wrongly."

Zhang Tianyu almost fainted when he heard this, thinking

"Why does this girl only listen to the first half of the sentence?"

Then he said to Li Siqin, "Didn't I say..." but was interrupted before he finished speaking

"General Zhang, take out your money, I'm going to win back all the money my man lost"

Surprised, Zhang Tianyu turned over the money to Li Siqin and asked her

"No, have you changed your name to 'your man'?"

Li Siqin took the money

"Otherwise, what is it called? (After taking the money) Is that all?"

"This is a silver ticket of 200 taels! Isn't this enough for you to bet on?"

Li Siqin waved the banknote and said

"Okay, okay, let's count a little bit" and then entered the casino again

Lan Xueyi and Zhang Tiancheng were looking for Li Siqin outside the casino, Zhang Tianyu ran up, Lan Xueyi pretended not to care and asked Zhang Tianyu

"Have you seen Princess Siqin? Why is she missing?"

Zhang Tianyu spread his hands

"She borrowed money from me and went to gamble again, saying that she wanted to win back everything you lost"

"What? She went to gamble? Why did you borrow her? I finally made her cry"

Zhang Tianyu explained to Lan Xueyi

"She said that what she cried was not because you lost money, but because you beat her up. I just said that a man doesn't kill his wife, so she thought you took her as his wife."

Lan Xueyi felt baffled

"What's wrong with you? Why did you say that sentence?"

Zhang Tianyu slapped himself

"I have a problem, I do have a problem, you are right"

Lan Xueyi turned around and was going to find Li Siqin, but unexpectedly Li Siqin was turning the jade pendant and walking towards the three of them with a bundle

Lan Xueyi turned her head to one side deliberately ignoring Li Siqin, fanning leisurely from the side

Li Siqin opened the bag and returned the bank note to Zhang Tianyu

"Here, General Zhang, I borrowed this from you before, and I'm returning it to you now, thank you!"

Zhang Tianyu took the bank note, feeling incredible

"You won the bet?"

Li Siqin pinned the jade pendant to her waist

"Yeah, such an easy game is easy to win, right? (Chaolan Xueyi) son-in-law, this princess has misunderstood you, and I will listen to you whatever you say from now on."

Zhang Tiancheng and Zhang Tianyu looked at each other, feeling puzzled

"Didn't she just say she was crying? What did I miss?"

Lan Xueyi turned around, pretending to be angry

"Who is your son-in-law? Don't force me to scold you again!"

Li Siqin smiled shyly

"Go ahead and scold. Men scold women because they care about women. If they don't care, they won't scold." After saying that, he hugged Lan Xueyi

Lan Xueyi struggled to break away from Li Siqin

"You! You are simply unreasonable!" After saying that, he turned and left

Li Siqin ran to keep up with small steps

"Hey, son-in-law, son-in-law! Where are you going?"

After Lan Xueyi got off his horse, he walked straight into the gate of Huamanlou angrily. Li Siqin ran to follow, and when he looked up, he saw three gaudy Chinese characters engraved on the door, so he turned and asked Zhang Tianyu

"General Zhang, what do these three characters say?"

"Writing is full of flowers"

Li Siqin asked puzzledly

"Huamanlou? Is this a place to grow flowers? Why is the name so strange, it doesn't look like a flower grower?"

Zhang Tianyu continued to explain

"The princess doesn't know, this building full of flowers is a famous place for fireworks in the capital"

Li Siqin was still stunned

"What does the Land of Fireworks mean? Can you tell me in detail?"

Zhang Tianyu was a little embarrassed and hesitated

"Where...how do I start?"

At this moment Zhang Tiancheng stepped forward and cupped his hands

"If Princess Siqin doesn't dislike it, then I will explain it to you."

Li Siqin looked at Zhang Tiancheng

"You? Well..."

Zhang Tiancheng started a long speech

"The flowers here refer to women, and the building is full of women. What do men come to find women for? It is to drink and get drunk with each other, and then go upstairs for a spring night. The so-called spring night means undressing each other... (interrupted)"

Li Siqin was shocked

"What? Get drunk? Take off your clothes? This is not acceptable, I have to take off my future son-in-law's clothes!"

She rushed into Huamanlou anxiously

The Zhang brothers looked at each other

Zhang Tianyu asked

"Why didn't I know that there is still a place for spring dinner in this building full of flowers? Could it be that you have been here, brother?"

Zhang Tiancheng became confused instead.

"I haven't been here, have I?"

As soon as Li Siqin entered the gate, he saw all kinds of women coming and going in the hall, so he could only look for one table after another. At the table on the left side of the hall, he saw Lan Xueyi and two women on the left. Hugging and chatting, there are a few unknown men sitting next to them

Li Siqin looked at the two women, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, he suppressed his temper

"My son-in-law, what are you doing?"

Lan Xueyi glanced at Li Siqin

"What am I doing, didn't you see it?"

Li Siqin pointed at the two women

"Why do you have to be tempted by these women? What's wrong with this princess? Who are they?"

one of the women said

"Oh girl, we are just accompanying guests. You have such a temper, no wonder your man ran out to find us."

Followed by a sound of laughter like Yingge Yanyu

Lan Xueyi doesn't look at Li Siqin

"I said, we are not suitable"

"Then you are suitable with them?"

Lan Xueyi stood up at once.

"Me! (speechless for a while) I'm such a playful man, can you bear it?"

Li Siqin's eyes are about to overflow with tears

"My brother told me that men are philandering, and women have to endure it (sit next to Lan Xueyi and squeeze two women away) Since you like the women working here, well, I'm here today After work, do you like me?"

Lan Xueyi looked at Li Siqin speechless, almost moved by her persistence, thinking

"Siqin, you are a good girl, why do you want to fall in love with me?"

Li Siqin dragged Lan Xueyi to sit down

"Listen well, this is my first customer for Li Siqin (to Lan Xueyi) If you want to play tricks, I will definitely not stop you, as long as you have me in your heart, I don't care how many women you have"

At this time, Zhang Tiancheng, wearing heavy makeup and wearing women's clothing, walked directly towards Lan Xueyi's table from the back door

Zhang Tiancheng twisted his body

"Oh, General Lan, it's been a long time since you came to see me, I miss you so much!"

Lan Xueyi looked at Zhang Tiancheng

"It's disgusting, you!"

She picked up Zhang Tiancheng's collar, pushed him away from her, and then kicked Zhang Tiancheng to the wall, causing some dust to fall off the wall

"Hmph, let me make you a bitch!"

Li Siqin's inner monologue

"Wow, he actually beat women!"

Lan Xueyi vs Li Siqin

"See, this woman is very cheap, so every time I see her, I have to beat her up. It has become a routine. If you are cheap, I will also beat you (inner monologue) What's the matter, the annoying man Linglong said , why is this princess not annoying at all? Is there something wrong with her mind?"

Li Siqin put away her shock and filled a glass of wine

"It's okay, I'm cheap, you can fight if you want, come on, let me get you drunk"

Lan Xueyi regained his composure, was taken aback, and asked

"What did you say?"

Li Siqin's inner monologue, "It's not good, is it the other way around?" Passing the wine to Lan Xueyi

"Then get me drunk"

Lan Xueyi is confused

"Why should I get you drunk?"

Li Siqin also looked puzzled

"Didn't we go upstairs and undress after you got me drunk?"

Li Siqin's words caused the table to burst into laughter, the Zhang brothers walked out of Huamanlou's gate in despair, Lan Xueyi blushed with rare embarrassment at this remark, dragged Li Siqin out of Huamanlou quickly

Li Siqin struggled to ask

"Hey, are you going upstairs now? We haven't gotten each other drunk yet!"

After Lan Xueyi took Li Siqin out of Huamanlou, he swung Li Siqin's arm, turned around and yelled at her

"Who told you to go to Huamanlou to get drunk and take off your clothes?"

Li Siqin pointed at Zhang Tiancheng

"it's him!"

Lan Xueyi looked at Zhang Tiancheng and said angrily

"Zhang! God! Success! It's your good deed again! What kind of mess did you teach the princess?"

Zhang Tiancheng looks innocent

"She asked me what I do here? I answered honestly. Isn't what I said the truth?"

"Facts? Facts about your size!" Lan Xueyi punched Zhang Tiancheng in the stomach

Zhang Tiancheng pretended to be in pain, hugged his stomach and took two steps back

Li Siqin looked at Zhang Tiancheng

"Did he lie to me? Isn't that a place to undress after getting drunk? Or is he going to come out and take off?"

So Li Siqin reached out to unbutton the button

Lan Xueyi hurriedly stopped her

"Don't take it off, don't take it off!"

Then he sighed speechlessly, feeling that he was physically and mentally exhausted, so he spoke to Li Siqin

"Princess, it's time to mark the time, and we've played for a day, so go back to the posthouse and rest."

"Isn't it too early, future son-in-law, why don't you play with me (hugging Lan Xueyi)"

Lan Xueyi has responded calmly

"Let go, and don't call me the future son-in-law, otherwise, I won't play with you tomorrow."

Li Siqin hastily let go

"Okay, let go, General Lan, what's next?"

"Next, we'll have dinner, and then we'll take you back after shopping at the night market"

Zhang Tianyu answered

Zhang Tiancheng asked

"what about me?"

Lan Xueyi gave Zhang Tiancheng a blank look

"Where do you want to go, as long as you don't appear in front of my eyes"

"Oh"

"How about this, bro, you go back first." Zhang Tianyu pushed Zhang Tiancheng, whispering

"You have seen the situation of both of them. Nothing big will happen, and you will add trouble here."

"But I..."

Zhang Tiancheng was about to defend himself, but he saw Lan Xueyi walking away, followed by Li Siqin

Zhang Tianyu pushed him away

"Go back, really." Then he also led the horse and hurried forward

"Humph!"

Zhang Tiancheng flicked his sleeves angrily, turned around and went home

The setting sun is gradually setting, the bright lights in the city are lit up, and the painted boats on the lake are still full of light, the three of them stand side by side on the bridge

"Wow, this is not seen in our country of Xia"

Li Siqin sighed

"By the way, Princess Siqin, have you ever eaten seafood on a boat?"

Zhang Tianyu asked, Li Siqin shook his head, so he continued to propose

"That's it, how about we go to the painting boat to have dinner, the river seafood here is very delicious"

"I..." Li Siqin looked at Lan Xueyi's expression, but Lan Xueyi didn't respond

"I really want to try it, but if General Lan doesn't want to go, then I won't go."

"It's time to eat, it's the same wherever you go to eat, let's go up"

Lan Xueyi responded lightly

After the three of them boarded the boat together, Zhang Tianyu was busy ordering food with the boatman. The two people on the opposite side of the table each had their own concerns——Lan Xueyi was looking at the night scene outside the boat, while Li Siqin kept looking at Lan Xueyi

"My brother told me that maybe it's because you have a sweetheart that you keep rejecting me"

What Li Siqin said made Lan Xueyi almost laugh out loud.

"Your brother talks nonsense, what kind of sweetheart do I have?"

"Then since you don't, why do you..." Li Siqin hesitated to speak, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you like men?"

Lan Xueyi was startled, thinking

"Huh? There is still this option? If I knew it, I would use this as an excuse."

"But it doesn't look like you go to Huamanlou to have fun..."

Lan Xueyi chose not to respond at this time, Zhang Tianyu sat down with a dish

"The food is here, let me let you go"

"Let me help you!" Lan Xueyi was about to get up

"No, no, it's inconvenient if there are so many people in this narrow aisle, just sit down and let me come."

But after a while, after all the dishes were served, Zhang Tianyu raised his wine glass to Lan Xueyi.

"Come on, General Lan, it's rare for us to meet together, and we also met Princess Xia, it's worth a drink."

Lan Xueyi raised his wine glass, Li Siqin followed suit, and then the three of them clinked glasses

With a bang, the wine was drained in one gulp, and Lan Xueyi's thoughts seemed to return to not long ago

"...Sister Xueyi, to celebrate our meeting, and also as a farewell tomorrow, I think..."

"This is……"

Lan Xueyi thought back to Zi Linglong who was sitting across from him that day, the situation suddenly seemed like a dream, the hazy and smiling Zi Linglong in her eyes seemed to be asking herself

"Sister Xueyi, what are you thinking?"

"I……"

"Actually, Princess Siqin is a nice person. What's wrong with her?"

"There's nothing wrong with her," Lan Xueyi replied lightly

Li Siqin on the opposite side and Zhang Tianyu on one side were stunned, Zhang Tianyu asked

"General Lan, what's wrong with you? What did you just say?"

Lan Xueyi came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head

"probably drunk"

Li Siqin looked at Lan Xueyi's wine glass

"But you just had a drink"

"Hey, Princess Siqin, you don't know this. There is a saying in the Song Dynasty that 'alcohol does not make everyone drunk.' General Lan has something on her mind."

Lan Xueyi looked at Li Siqin at this time, she couldn't help asking herself

"Isn't this girl beautiful? Not really. Is she not considerate enough? Nope. Is her eyes bad? Probably... So the problem is, my problem, I am a woman, I know very well, if I make it clear to her Now, will she still like me? Then what about Linglong, she clearly knows that I am..."

Lan Xueyi grabbed Li Siqin's hand to see her reaction, but Li Siqin didn't respond much, just asked

"General Lan, are you okay?" Then she put her hand on it

Zhang Tianyu looked at the slightly weird atmosphere of the two, and didn't understand Lan Xueyi's intention, so he coughed

"uh-huh"

Lan Xueyi pulled her hand back, looked at Li Siqin and then at Zhang Tianyu

"You two eat first, I seem to be a little seasick, go down for a walk, and come back to find you later"

Zhang Tianyu hurriedly said

“But the food was cold after a while”

Li Siqin stood up

"I'll go with you. I'm also a little seasick. We don't take boats in Xiaguo, so this is my first time."

Lan Xueyi got off the boat, Li Siqin followed, Zhang Tianyu sat alone in the boat drinking

"Hey, these women are really troublesome..."

Li Siqin followed Lan Xueyi onto the Imperial Street, dazzled by the dazzling array of night market goods

At this time, the two passed by a gouache stall, and the proprietress of the stall greeted Lan Xueyi

"Oh my lord, long time no see!"

Lan Xueyi took a closer look, it was the proprietress she met when she was shopping with Zi Linglong earlier

"Boss, long time no see"

"Yeah, is this the young master's younger sister?" the proprietress asked

"No, I'm..."

Li Siqin was interrupted before she finished speaking.

"Yes, it is my younger sister"

"What about your wife?"

As soon as the proprietress exited the door, Lan Xueyi and Li Siqin froze on the spot

"What? Madame?" Li Siqin looked at Lan Xueyi, "When did you have a madam?"

"I……"

Lan Xueyi can't argue with anything now

"Isn't that your sister-in-law, she is very beautiful, she is a big beauty, she is still kissing your brother on the street!"

Li Siqin pointed at Lan Xueyi

"Okay you! So that's the case, so you are a married man! You have lied to me for so long!"

After scolding, Li Siqin turned angrily and left

Lan Xueyi stood there dumbstruck, the proprietress realized that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly smoothed things over

"Ah, am I talking too much? Your sister doesn't seem to know that you and your wife are married. Are you keeping it from your family?"

Lan Xueyi didn't know how to respond at this time

"I'm hiding...I'm hiding something from me!"

This time it became Lan Xueyi to chase Li Siqin, after finally catching up

"Princess Siqin, listen to my explanation..."

"I don't want to hear it! You already have a wife, what are you going to do to tease me? Don't you tease your wife?"

"I..." Lan Xueyi felt that everything she said was wrong, "That's not my wife at all!"

"Huh? Is that someone else's wife?"

"she……"

Lan Xueyi thought about it for a while and indeed Zi Linglong is someone else's wife now

"Look at you, you stuttered again, which proves that you have ghosts in your heart!"

"Siqin, listen to me, I'm not the kind of person you think!"

"You don't need to tell me, I've already seen it!"

"Listen to me!"

Lan Xueyi finally couldn't help but roared, seeing Li Siqin in front of her no longer excited, she took Li Siqin's hand, "Siqin, I have never been married or married, I am not the kind of person you think, but I want to make sure of one thing, that is...do you like me no matter what kind of person I am?"

"I……"

Li Siqin hesitated for a long time and did not reply.

The author has something to say:

I was going to say something but forgot...
