[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

How dare I ask such a question when I am so distressed.I pursed my lips and sighed lightly.What kind of bad person is this?I said: "I don't want to." Even if it's to help Kui Huangyi, I don't want to give up this insistence.

"You're interesting."

I laughed out loud, "So are you having a good time?"

"It's so-so. I just want to see who is brave enough to hit Long Lian with his idea. I thought it was a clown who took advantage of the Hong family's power."

This is where the warning came, "I didn't expect to alarm Sect Master Lan."

"You didn't expect that?"

I tilted my head, "I just thought there would be killer A, B, C throwing shurikens at me or something."

Lan Xuena smiled and said, "No, I'd rather kick people into a winter pond, the way to live and suffer is king. I'm just here to see, Miss Zhang," he stretched out his hand to me, "I'll take you back .”

I didn't let him hold my hand again, just smiled and nodded.

He was not angry either, he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, chatted and laughed with me like a gentle nobleman, and sent me back home.Standing in front of Zhangfu's gate, Lan Xuena rolled up his sleeves, tilted her head and smiled and said, "Don't you change your mind? Now, I promise to settle the Lanzhou All-Commerce Federation for you. You won't borrow The strength of the Hong family means that you can’t go to the Hongzhou All-Commerce Federation. Next, what else do you want? The few months in the blue state have been wasted.”

I smiled, "Lanzhou is famous for its mountains and rivers, so this trip is worthwhile."

"I see." He waved to me and turned away.

I let out a breath and walked back to Zhangfu.

I can only turn to other states.Forget it, it doesn't matter, I will figure it out slowly in the future.

After I returned home, I discussed with Liu Jiahe for a long time and made a new plan.It was already late at night when we returned to the inner courtyard.

"Good evening." I smiled and greeted Kui Huangyi who was standing by the courtyard gate.

He straightened up and walked towards me, "Licorice said you didn't have dinner."

"Huh? Licorice? You actually told me about me?" Following Kui Huangyi's approaching steps, I gradually raised my head and looked at him.

"Do you think it's hard for me to speak well?" He squinted at me.

I burst out laughing, "Well, Licorice must be losing his temper now." Licorice, who has a strong self-esteem, must be very upset when Kui Huangyi tricked her into saying something, "I'll go and see her."

I was about to turn around, but he grabbed my wrist and said, "Go eat first." He snorted, "Just let her lose your temper."

"How can you say that?" I looked at him angrily.

He pulled me until he reached the kitchen before letting me go, and went to cook by folding up his sleeves.

"Are you going to do it?" I sat on the side, looking up at him.

"Don't worry, it's definitely much better than yours."

Buried me again.I smiled and said, "That's right, your family is almost without a cook." I still remember that there was only one porter and two male servants in the Kui Mansion.

"If I ask you to learn it, you just pretend you didn't hear me. Troublesome idiot."

"My family obviously doesn't need me to do it." How can I have time to learn this?

"When you get married in the future, don't tell me that you plan not to cook a meal for your husband."

"You really don't give up," I smiled and lowered my eyes, "you've been thinking about marrying me all day long. Kui Huangyi, am I already in such a way?"

"Idiot, if you dare to interfere with my business, I will hang you up and beat you long ago."

"...No, I'd rather you throw me to feed the panda." What's the matter with hanging up and beating me? Hey...

"You can't tell the difference between good words?" He neatly filled two bowls of hot noodles and brought them over. "I'll say it again, put aside the things here and go back to the countryside of Heizhou for me to squat."

I took two pairs of chopsticks and handed him a pair, "It's funny, you said I'm an elm head that can't climb up, and now you want to kick me back, think I'm an idiot?"

"I don't want anything to happen to you."

I paused, "Huang Yi, what are you doing now?" I vaguely felt that what Kui Huangyi was doing was getting more and more dangerous.Ah, yes, I almost forgot again, he seems to be playing the villain.

"Do not ask."

"Then why don't we go our separate ways? Let's do our own thing, and your business has nothing to do with me from now on. Speaking of which, although you have given the Zhang family a lot of convenience, almost all the dangers that the Zhang family has encountered in recent years are due to You get up."

"Are you dissatisfied?"

"No, it's just," I smiled at him, "it seems like it's time to separate. Your game isn't for me."

"Do you want to throw me away after bringing Zhang's family together? What a big tone." He glanced at me coldly.

"...So you feel that unless I go back and the Zhang family is gone, you will feel relieved and willing to let go?" I twitched the corners of my mouth.

"I feel that if there is such a useful chess piece, I can't let it go. If I really want to quit, I will make up my mind and go back to the country."

"...Are you perverted?" I looked at him and laughed out loud for a while.Sure enough, it was Kui Huangyi who did things without mercy.

"Laugh while eating, you idiot?"

"..." I covered my mouth and looked very poised...Che, "I wonder if idiot is your catchphrase, Aoi-sama who seems to think he is very smart."

"It's just a mantra for you."

"..." I narrowed my eyes.

He took a mouthful of noodles slowly, and looked at me in a leisurely manner, "Have you improved your temper? You really are Li Wenxian's student. Underneath a hypocrite is moody and despicable."

I pursed my lips and stretched out my hands to pinch his cheeks.I'll let you talk again!

The veins on his forehead exploded, "Zhang Zelan, I warned you. You idiot with no rules!"

"Hey?" I pulled his face with a smile, pulling and pulling, "Sorry, I'm a country girl, I don't know how to behave." I said, hahahaha~ If you say I'm hypocritical, then I won't do it now Let me show you the hypocrisy, hahahahaha~~~

He put down his chopsticks with an answer, and quickly raised his hand to grab my hand, "If you want to die, I'm amiable, of course I will help you."

Amiable?What is he talking about?

"Ah! Pain, pain, pain!" He pulled my face!This time it was really hard! "Stupid, stupid! Are you as strong as you?"

He clasped my hands with one hand and my cheek with the other, and said coldly, "You were the one who sought death first."

"Are you a child? Just kidding, it takes so much force?" Actually pinched it down.

"Does it hurt?" He raised an eyebrow.

"...Do you want to try it yourself?" I glared at him.

Kui Huangyi's hand gradually relaxed, but it didn't leave my face, and turned to caressing me gently.I lowered my eyes and held my breath for a while, then raised my eyes to look at him again, and my eyes met.

The surroundings are quiet, only the bright yellow candlelight and the moonlight half covered by clouds outside the window.

He gradually lowered his head and leaned closer, and I slowly closed my eyes──I didn't think of avoiding it.When my eyes were completely closed, his kiss fell gently.I didn't dare to move, I just let him hold my face in one hand and my hands in the other, and gently kissed my lips.The strength is sometimes light, sometimes heavy, but not deep.In my ears, only the sound of his breathing and my own heartbeat are left.

After a while, he let go of me, and I opened my eyes too.

We sat in silence, quietly eating the cold noodles.After I finished eating, I collected the bowls and chopsticks and went to the well outside the kitchen. I rolled up my sleeves and planned to wash them. Kui Huangyi helped me fetch water.When I was squatting beside me washing the dishes, he who was standing next to me suddenly asked, "Did you meet Lan Xuena today?"

"...you're better informed than I thought." Sputnik you?

"What are you going to do?"

"I rejected the Lan family," I shrugged, "I will probably divert to the Baizhou All-Commerce Federation. It's just a change of plan, it doesn't matter too much. It's good if you don't die if you offend the other party's Nilin."

"it is good."

What?

His face was as calm as ever, even a little cold, which made me wonder what he was thinking, "The Zhang family not only didn't benefit at all because of my business this time, but got into trouble instead. I owe it to you." You once. I don’t like to owe people anything. Since the Zhang family doesn’t want to, Zhang Zelan, our cooperation will come to an end here. In the future, whether the Zhang family grows or returns to Heizhou, don’t bother me.” He raised the corner of his mouth , sneered viciously like before, "Of course, if I give enough conditions in the future, I don't think you'd object to cooperating with me a little bit, right? Merchant."

He... "I decided to find Blue Dragon Lotus. Are you stupid?" I put down the bowl in my hand, "Are you giving up my pawn?"

"Do you think I can't do without the Zhang family?"

"Didn't you say that you are an idiot to deliberately take a long way if you don't use the suitable chess pieces?" I stood up, "Use what should be used to climb up, isn't it?" After years of cooperation, he obviously has many chapters in his hand. Why did you let us go so easily?Shouldn't he use us until we are useless before giving up?After we gradually alienate, as time goes by, the handle he has now may not be effective anymore.

Although the matter of the Chazhou All-Commerce Federation is troublesome, I am still sure. It is almost foreseeable that my status in the All-Commerce Federation will rise.

He really doesn't need me like this?

"Don't talk so much useless nonsense." He reprimanded in a cold voice, "Give me a smirk and say thank you, and then take the opportunity to run away without looking back. There is no clue left! What are you dawdling about? I'm stupid Is it a problem if you lose your mind? Don’t you know what it means to seize an opportunity? You are trying to persuade me to destroy Zhang’s family, you idiot.”

I pursed my lips and looked at him with a frown.Kui Huangyi, what are you thinking?

He looked at me for a while, then turned and strode away without looking back once.

At the end of December, my former maid, the lively and lovely Qingzao, was finally getting married.Qingzao doesn't have a natal family, Zhang's house is her natal family, I let her go out in Zhang's house in Lanzhou.

"Crackling!" A string of firecrackers were lit and sounded lively.

"Qingzao is a big girl too." In the joyfully decorated new house, I helped her carefully put on the string of white jade jujube headdress that Lan Xuena gave me.I have given her all the protection I can, and wearing this should be enough?

"Miss!" With a swipe, Qingzao's tears slid down.

"Ah...don't cry." I stared at her, "I've put on makeup all day, don't make me cry." I bent down a little and patted the back of her hand, "Qingzao, live a good life in the future , come to me if you need anything. Don’t be self-willed in the future. For your son, you have to take good care of your family, you know? Of course, if he dares to wrong you, don’t bear it. Ah, don’t forget Husband and wife must tolerate each other, so don’t bully others.”

"Hey!" Qingzao suppressed tears and smiled, "Miss is just like my mother!"

I feigned anger and patted her on the back, "How can I be so old?"

The maids in the room all laughed together.

"Miss, Sister Qingzao," Licorice bowed to me, "The auspicious time has come."

"Miss..." Qingzao's eyes were as red as a bunny.

My eye sockets were also a little hot, but I just smiled and patted the back of her hand again, shook her hand vigorously, then turned around and took the red handkerchief from Licorice.With a lift, he put the kerchief on Qingzao's head.Amidst the lively firecrackers, I sent Qingzao out, and my servant Wang Dali carried her onto the sedan chair.After the sedan chair left, I asked the attendants of the Zhang family to have fun and have a banquet, and then I returned to the quiet inner courtyard.As soon as I stepped into the courtyard gate, I saw Kui Huangyi standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

"Master Aoi."

"Um."

I continued to walk back to the room, and when I passed by his side, I heard him calling me.

"Lan, do you want to go for a walk?"

I paused for a moment, then nodded, "Well, that's fine."

So, we walked side by side in Jade Dragon City.This is a city with a mild climate, surrounded by lakes, but with steep mountains.What's even more rare is that when the royal capital was caught in a dispute for the crown prince, the people of Lanzhou still lived and worked in peace and contentment.

It's no wonder that the refugees from Zizhou flocked outward.

"It will take a while for this turmoil to pass." Kui Huang Yi said.

"You will avoid going out of Beijing, is that one of the reasons?"

"Hmm. They're all unsightly idiots."

"The prince is an idiot, what should the people do?"

He raised his eyebrows and looked at me, "Why didn't I know that you also worry about the country and the people?"

"Yes, I am the ruthless villain." I sighed, "Aren't you worried?"

He pursed his lips, and the line of his jaw tightened.I pat the back of his hand.I knew that Kui Huangyi actually cared about these things, he just did the only thing he could do at this time.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that at this time, he should be wise and protect himself, not to mention that he is just a little censor now.

He shook my hand behind his back.

In this way, he held my hand and continued walking down the street.

When passing by a stall selling sesame seed cakes, Kui Huangyi stopped and stared at me.

I covered my forehead, "...I told you, I really don't really like eating biscuits, don't make fun of me all the time."

"Girl!" The old man who sold sesame seed cakes heard me say this, but the boss was not happy. "You are wrong to say that. Why do you say you don't like it in front of other people's stalls?"

I coughed lightly in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, old man, I didn't mean it." I looked at Kui Huangyi, and stretched out two fingers to the old man, "Old man, please give me two biscuits."

Kui Huangyi stared at me coldly, "What are you thinking?"

I pulled out my hand, paid the old man, and stuffed one of the biscuits to Kui Huangyi, "Please eat."

He frowned and looked at the biscuits twice, glared at me before eating, and continued to walk forward.

"Hahahaha..." I held the biscuits in one hand, covered my mouth with the other and laughed.

"Idiot, kid?"

"Who am I to say childish?" I laughed at him with a smile, "You actually pinched my face."

He glanced at me and took another bite of the biscuits, "So, are you implying that I'll pinch you again?"

I froze, looking at him in disbelief.Is there a hint that he is okay?Hey, are you teasing me?

"I didn't know you were such a person at all." I couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Are you really an idiot?" He sighed in distress, "The reaction to being teased is to laugh."

I was dumbfounded.You think you are teasing me?Dare, dare to ask Kui Jun's integrity?

He looked at me, chuckled, then covered his mouth with his hands and coughed lightly, then turned his face away.I also shook my head and laughed.After eating all the biscuits in his hand, he took my hand and went to a restaurant, and asked for a box on the second floor by the window.After listening to his order, I asked him: "Aren't blue duck eggs and Hericium erinaceus only available in Jiucaijiang? Ordinary restaurants also have them?"

"First, this is not an ordinary restaurant, it is owned by the Lan family; second, do you really believe in the legend that you will die if you enter the Jiucai River?"

I followed his example and raised my eyebrows, "First, you mean that the Jiucai River belongs to the Lan family? Second, I believe that the Jiucai River is a very dangerous place, which is true."

He tapped my forehead with his fingers.

"...Does it hurt?" Are you addicted to beating me?

He crossed his fingers and wrote with his arms propped on the table, "Jiucaijiang is the place where the Lan family and the Piao family belong. Due to the special nature of the Piao family who specialize in divine affairs, Jiucaijiang has extraterritorial rights, and the state pastor's mansion of Lanzhou I can't control it. If someone is killed there, the State Shepherd's Mansion won't take care of it. Moreover, the two places are not easy to enter. There are many traps on the way, and it is a dead end to rush into it. Residents can go in without hindrance.”

"...You still asked me to come."

"You're not really going."

I smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I can't say no to you."

"Listen," he lowered his voice, "don't go into the Jiucai River when you come to Lanzhou again. If you want to see the way of the Lan family, think about other things. Even if you want to go in and feed the pandas, the pandas won't eat you."

I nodded obediently and listened.

After this separation, the Zhang family and Kui Huangyi will go their separate ways, and he will never give me such an exhortation again in the future.
