Mansangzi

It was very quiet in the spacious bedroom, no matter who was standing on the ground or kneeling on the bed, they all held their breaths and did not dare to make a sound.All eyes are on the falling paint, on the landscape painting that is gradually taking shape.Only one person's eyes slowly moved from the painting to the person.He stared at Lu Bupo's side face, the serious lines on his face were extraordinarily soft, even in a state of dementia.And the other person who slowly shifted his gaze to Lu Bupo couldn't hide his excitement and admiration, and his heartbeat and breathing were a little rapid.

Lu Bupo couldn't notice all kinds of complicated eyes falling on him, and he was engrossed in painting.This painting is not just a gift, but also contains his deep apology.In order to time travel, his mother forced him to learn a lot of things, but now he felt that his mother was being soft, why didn't he force him to learn more.He hasn't learned carving, acupuncture and other things from his ancestors, and the most important thing is that he hasn't learned how to cook.It should be more sincere to give Pharaoh a big pot of chicken legs.

Minutes passed by, and everyone couldn't notice the passage of time. They didn't know who turned on the sensor light, and they realized that it was dark.But the person lying on the ground didn't notice it, and the movements of his hands didn't stop.

"Xuanyuan Zhan, Shui." Suddenly, he spoke.There was a light in the eyes of the person who was called, and he strode up to him and handed him the water glass.

After taking a sip but did not swallow it, Lu Bupo sprayed it on the cloth.After spouting half of the glass, he gulped down the remaining half of the glass, and then licked the corner of his mouth: "You write a letter to Pharaoh, I will visit him in two hours."

"Ah."

"Pour me another glass of water."

"Ah."

Xuanyuanzhan stood up to pour water, while Lu Bupo continued lying down on the canvas.The interaction between the two was so natural, pride flashed across Xuanyuan Zhichun's face, while someone's eyes were full of envy.Ouyang Long glanced at Shangguan Nong and Sikong Wuye, and then "cracked" the gaze of Sikong Wuye twice in the air before retracting.The two looked at each other disliked, for no reason, just disliked.

Xuanyuan Zhan came back soon. After feeding Lu Bupo and drinking water, he saw that he was painting with peace of mind, so he stood back to his original position and continued to stare, taking advantage of the gap to glance at Shangguan Nong.The other party's warm smile eyes met his in the air, the other party smiled, and he returned to gloom.From now on, he doesn't like Shangguan Nong.

……

"Ah—finally the painting is finished." Throwing the scrubbing brush aside, Lu Bupo stretched greatly.When someone came forward, he hurriedly said, "Don't come over! You haven't done it yet." Those who approached immediately retreated.

His legs were numb and his arms were sore. Lu Bupo dipped his fingers in the black paint and wrote his name in the lower right corner in a fluttering manner. There was also a line of small characters: "Gift to Pharaoh Farib as an expression of gratitude to Pharaoh".Seeing him write with his fingers, he exclaimed, it's amazing!

After everything was done, Lu Bupo looked up at his watch, it was very good, about the same time as he estimated.Barely standing up, he was firmly supported by someone who was unstable. He smiled and said, "Thank you."

The man with obsessed eyes just smiled and let go after he stood still.Another person who was a step behind gritted his teeth and stepped forward, supporting Lu Bupo: "I'll help you wash your hands."

"I'm starving, get me some porridge." It was completely different from the previous attitude, Lu Bupo's tone towards this man was like ordering his own servant.But the slave was very happy to be ordered by him, and after sending him to the bathroom, he strode away to get the porridge.

As soon as Lu Bupo left, everyone gathered around the canvas.A landscape painting, mostly black with only a few strokes of red, was displayed in front of them like this.Someone dripped saliva and hurriedly wiped it off, wanting to keep it for himself.When Lu Bupo came out, many people asked in unison: "Xiao Po, can you draw a picture for me too?"

Can't you guys be a little creative?Lu Bupo really wanted to ask this question.Ignoring those eager eyes, he snorted, "You guys have seen how long I've been painting, and I'll talk about it when I'm in the mood."

"When will it be?" asked the person who didn't know what is enough.

"The world is old!" Can't help shouting back, Lu Bupo started to chase people away, "The rest is to wait for the painting to dry and then give it to Pharaoh, you can go. I have to stay with Mi'er in the hospital for a few days, there is nothing important Don't bother me."

"Xiao Po," someone asked again pitifully, "Can't you really draw us a picture?"

Lu Bupo laughed "puchi", you can imagine the wrinkled old man pretending to be wronged by you, that's called wretched.But Shangguan Songfeng is not pretending, he really, really wants one.Lu Bupo glanced at the old guys who had been following him asking for this and that since he woke up, and he snorted, "It's not impossible."

"Little Po!" If it weren't for the painting on the ground that must not be damaged, Lu Bupo would have been crushed into a photo.

"But I have a request." Lu Bupo took the opportunity to say.

"you say!"

Lu Bupo smiled and said: "I want a very soft big bed, a very very soft sofa, and a very very soft chair." His butt has suffered enough in the past two days, and he can't bear it.

What is this requirement?Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.Sikong Wuye, Ouyang Long and Shangguannong looked at their elders and the leaders of the Federation in surprise. Are these people they are familiar with?After everyone watched each other, they unanimously cast their eyes on Shangguan Songfeng. He is the head of the General Affairs Department and is in charge of people's livelihood issues.And Shangguan Songfeng cast his eyes on Ouyang Xiu. He is the director of the research institute, and the research institute is dedicated to research and development of new things.

Then someone said, "Maybe I can help."

Ouyang Xiu's old face immediately looked much younger, how could he have forgotten Shangguan Nong!He immediately replied: "Xiao Po, I will get what you want as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Thinking that he could finally get rid of those hard guys, Lu Bupo jumped up.Shangguannong looked at him with a smile in his eyes, and suddenly felt that Mr. Mang Sangzi was actually very cute.

After all the idlers left, Lu Bupo took a shower, changed into solemn clothes, and dried his hair.Putting his hair loosely in braids and hanging in front of him, Lu Bupo once again suppressed the desire to rip it off.He elbowed the person standing behind him, and he asked, "What's wrong with you? You don't look good after coming back from the hospital, something happened?"

Surprise flashed across half of his face, followed by secret joy that no one else could see, Xuanyuan Zhan was silent for a while, and asked, "What do you think of Sikong Wuye and Ouyang Xiu?"

"Those two people?" Looking at his appearance in the mirror, OK, there is no problem.Walking out of the bathroom, he touched the canvas, um, it was done.

"Help me bring the box here." Lu Bupo ordered his servant.The servant took the exquisite long box and urged: "Xiao Po."

Roll up the canvas, wrap it with a white scarf from Shangguannong, and tie a beautiful bow.Lu Bupo put it in the box and fastened it, well, Pharaoh would definitely like it.

"Little Po!"

Lu Bupo raised his eyes and narrowed his eyes slightly. How could this guy be curious about such things?Do you want to answer him?Forget it, he is in a good mood today, so stop teasing him. "Those two people. I don't feel anything." Shrugging, Lu Bupo picked up the box, "Let's go, go to Pharaoh's."

Xuanyuan Zhan followed Shang Lu Bupo closely, and was about to continue to question, but when he opened the door, there were three guys who looked very unpleasant to him now, Sikong Wuye, Ouyang Long and Shangguan Nong.

"Huh? You didn't leave?" Lu Bupo was surprised.

Shangguan Nong said: "Pharaoh is leaving tomorrow, and we are going to visit Pharaoh in a private capacity on behalf of the family. It wouldn't be inappropriate to go with Xiao Po."

"Of course not." Lu Bupo was stunned for a moment, and then handed the box to the servant behind him, "It happens that Xuanyuan Zhan is also going, so it's better to go together. Ah, I forgot one thing, for a minute."

Without waiting for the other members to react, Lu Bupo returned to the room and closed the door.Xuanyuanzhan stood at the door, looking at the three people in front of him gloomyly. From now on, he doesn't like these three people.Shangguan Nong still smiled, Sikong Wuye smiled, but Ouyang Long ignored it.After looking at each other for a minute, the door opened, and Lu Bupo came out: "Let's go."

……

When they went downstairs, the trio was ready, so Lu Bupo held back what he wanted to ask.After seeing the other three people, especially Shangguan Nong, Xuanyuan Zhan's face became gloomy again.Walking out of the room silently, and getting on the aircraft, half of Xuanyuan Zhan's face was twitched and tense.Sitting next to Xuanyuan Zhan, Lu Bupo glanced at his expression, wondering what's wrong with this man.

The four aircraft soon arrived at the Pharaoh's residence, and the Pharaoh's entourage who had already received the news was waiting outside the door.When Lu Bupo got off the aircraft, Pharaoh came out to greet him in person.

"Pharaoh." Lu Bupo said after stepping forward to give Faribu a hug, "You are leaving tomorrow. I want to give you a present."

Although he was a little uncomfortable with Lu Bupo's enthusiasm, Pharaoh still hugged Lu Bupo back, and then let go.Hearing that the other party came to give him a gift, his face softened a lot. "Thank you, Po."

Then he greeted Shangguan Nong: "Director Shangguan."

"Pharaoh, I'm sorry to disturb you so late." Shangguan Agricultural Bank gave a cold greeting.

Nodding to the others, Farib greeted Lu Bupo to go in.

When he came to the reception room, Lu Bupo took the box from Xuanyuan Zhan, and handed it to Farib with both hands: "Pharaoh, this is a picture I drew, I hope you like it, Pharaoh."

"Little broken painting?" Farib was surprised, but also very happy.Opening the box and seeing a roll of colored gauze inside, Farib was taken aback again.With the help of his followers, he unfolded the gauze, and when the painting was shown little by little in front of Farib, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and even his followers were full of disbelief.

"This is..." The familiar scenery surprised Farib again.

"Xiuyu City is too big, I chose a small part." Lu Bupo explained, but this is not the point, the point is that on the top of a mountain in Xiurafter City, an old man in a white holy attire, Looking at the far room.Although it was outlined with a few strokes, anyone with a discerning eye could tell who the old man was, because the clothes worn by the old man were very similar to those worn by Farib.

Unable to take his eyes off the canvas, Farib looked at every part excitedly. After a long time, he carefully rolled up the canvas and put his hands solemnly into the box.

Lu Bupo said apologetically: "Pharaoh, time is running out. I should have framed this painting before sending it to you. Pharaoh may have to deal with it after taking it back, otherwise the paint on the painting will be damaged in wet weather. Spend it." Farib didn't say anything, just nodded to show he understood.But he walked up to Lu Bupo, imitated him, and hugged Lu Bupo.He was very moved.Lu Bupo hugged back.

After the two separated, Shangguannong stepped forward and handed out a gift box: "Pharaoh, I hope you will come to Beiqun and Mangxie again in the future."

"Thank you." After receiving the gift box, Farib did not open it, but he hugged Shangguannong instead.Shangguan Nong's surprise disappeared in a flash. He bent his left leg so that he was as tall as Pharaoh, and hugged him back.

"One day, you will meet someone who understands you." Farib suddenly whispered something endless to Shangguan Nong.

Shangguan Nong was stunned, and then he smiled deeply. "Thank you, Pharaoh." Pharaoh changed, probably because of Xiaopo.

After Shangguan Nong retreated, Sikong Wuye smiled and gave his gift: "Sikong Wuye welcomes the pharaoh on behalf of the Sikong family. I sincerely hope that Hanji and Mangxie will always be allies."

"Thank you. Send my regards to your family." Farib took the gift and handed it to his followers.

"On behalf of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Long expressed his gratitude to the Pharaoh for coming." Ouyang Long stepped forward to present the gift he had prepared, and then bowed obliquely.

"Thank you. Give my regards to your family." Handing the gift to the attendant, Faribu motioned Xiao Po to sit on the sofa, completely ignoring Xuanyuan Zhan, or he knew that Xuanyuan Zhan had nothing to give him.

"Pharaoh, Xuanyuan Zhan also has a gift for you." Lu Bupo said Xuanyuan Zhan, not only Faribu was surprised, but even Xuanyuan Zhan himself was surprised, he didn't prepare a gift at all.This is not the first time Faribu has been to Beiqun, and he also knows a lot about the Mangxie family.The Xuanyuan family had never given him a gift in their own name, let alone in an impersonal name.

Because he was visiting Faribu, Lu Bupo specially wore a Hanji costume, and since his allergies were not healed, the Hanji servants were more comfortable to wear.He took out a beautifully crafted yellow leather book from his loose robe like a magic trick, and a white crystal stone was embedded in the book.Xuanyuan Zhan's expression changed, it was definitely not a surprise.Just when he was about to reach out to snatch it, someone took the opportunity of handing over the book and stepped on him severely, stepping back his desire to "rob".

"This is?" Farib took it curiously, and the others were also curious.

"This is a collection of poems written by Xuanyuan Zhan. He doesn't know what to give you, so I suggest that he give you this collection of poems." Lu Bupo said very distressed, but someone's heart is already bleeding.

"A collection of poems?" Farib opened it in surprise, and on the inside cover were a few words in scrawled handwriting. Although Farib knew mangxie characters, he didn't study cursive script.

Lu Bupo was a little embarrassed and said: "Ah, I wrote this. Pharaoh, the following one was written by Xuanyuan Zhan." He immediately turned to the next chapter.Different from the scribbled handwriting just now, the handwriting of this poem is very neat, and in Farib's mind, a clumsy person is writing the poem one stroke at a time with a pen.Then he continued to turn the pages backwards, and the writing became easier as he went to the back, and beautiful cursive script appeared. It can be seen that a lot of hard work has been put into this collection of poems.

Closing the notebook, Faribu was rarely amiable towards Xuanyuan Zhan. "Thanks."

Half of Xuanyuan Zhan's face resisted the convulsions, and after his foot was stepped on again, he said stiffly: "Welcome Pharaoh again." This sentence made Lu Bupo almost vomit blood. Is he a pig?If you can't speak, you can copy it. What Shangguan Nong said just now is so good.

Farib was not dissatisfied, but put the book on the box containing the paintings, and after making a Hanji etiquette, he said: "In the name of myself and the Hanji Empire, I invite Mr. Mansangzi, Director Shangguan Nong, Director Ouyang Long, Director Sikong Wuye, and Colonel Xuanyuan can visit Hanji at the right time." ☆School☆Fragrant☆Men☆Di☆Lu Bupo held back his excitement: "Okay! I must go to Hanji if I have the chance, go Find Pharaoh. Pharaoh will treat me to a big meal then." I didn't see the shock on the faces of Shangguan Nong, Sikong Wuye and Ouyang Long, and half of someone's twitching face.The first three were shocked because, as the younger generation of the four families, they were not qualified to be invited by the pharaoh of Hanji; while the latter twitched because the only book of poems he had written for so long was given away.

Farib smiled slightly: "I will personally cook Hanji dishes for Mr. Mansangzi."

"Pharaoh, I'm not an outsider. You should call me Xiaopo, don't be so unfamiliar." As soon as he heard that there was food, Lu Bupo immediately became like a dog.Faribu lightly touched Lu Bupo's face with his index finger, which was the expression of senior Hanji's love for the junior.

……

Returning to the apartment from Farib’s residence, Lu Bupo preemptively said as soon as he returned to the bedroom: “You still have the nerve to be angry! Everyone else has prepared gifts, but you alone have no preparations. If I didn’t think of it for you, you What an embarrassment today."

Xuanyuan Zhan's half-face twitched even more when the collection of poems was inexplicably given away: "The Xuanyuan family doesn't need to curry favor with Hanji! I only have that collection of poems!"

"The Xuanyuan family doesn't need to please others, but do you understand politeness? Do you think I need to please others? This is politeness! Politeness! Reciprocity, do you know? You don't respect others, why should they respect you!" Lu Bupo was originally a fake anger, but now he is really angry.Isn't it just a collection of broken poems, if you give it to others, you won't write it again?It's not like he's disabled with both hands.

"You can give Farib my other things, not the book of poems!" There were poems written for him by the man.

"I gave it away, do you want to get it back?" Lu Bupo roared angrily after finishing speaking, "You dare to go! If you dare to go, I won't know you from today on!"

Xuanyuan Zhan retracted the steps he had taken, walked to the bed angrily and sat down.The book of poems was his heart and soul.According to Lu Bupo's copybook, he learned each word slowly and then wrote it down.I just finished writing it last night. I was planning to please Lu Bupo, but Lu Bupo gave it away. He felt so blocked.The three who were lying outside the door and eavesdropping left quickly on tiptoe, for fear of being swept away by the flames of war.

Seeing Xuanyuan Zhan bowed his head and did not speak, Lu Bupo calmed down for a while, walked over and kicked him. "If you know that people from your four families are going to visit today, I will definitely prepare gifts for you in advance. Who told you not to say it yourself. I am not giving away your wife and children to others, cheapskate. Isn't it just a collection of poems?" , I will write you a copy."

Xuanyuan Zhan quickly raised his head, half of his face stopped twitching.

"Look at you petty citizen." Lu Bupo kicked Xuanyuan Zhan again, "You have to change your temper. You've been pulling your face like a donkey's all day today, and no one messed with you. Pharaoh is leaving, As a representative of the four families, you should have prepared gifts. This is not flattery, but politeness. Don’t think that you are so great because of your military achievements. In history, military generals were punished by civil officials. You are a typical simple-minded with well-developed limbs. "

"I don't like to please others." Xuanyuan Zhan was still sad about his poetry collection, but his tone was not as strong as before.

"It's not flattery! It's politeness!" Lu Bupo couldn't help but knocked Xuanyuan Zhan on the head, and turned around to change his clothes. "Do you know if you hit the head with a gun? Don't make yourself so arrogant, your Xuanyuan family is amazing. What I hate most is people who pretend to be arrogant. Think about it yourself. If you are a guest today and visit the host's house, others will be ashamed of you." I respect you very much, but there is one who ignores you, can you feel better? How can you say that you are an old man, do you still need me to teach you this truth?"

Swallowing, Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes stared at Lu Bupo's naked back and straightened, wanting, wanting...but! "I'm not old!"

"Hmph, you're an old man compared to me, aren't you?" Lu Bupo, who had changed into his pajamas, turned around and lowered his head to button it, but he didn't notice an old pervert not far away.

Swallowing again, suppressing the desire, Xuanyuan Zhan asked in a muffled voice, "You want me to be like Shangguannong?"

"Shangguannong is Shangguannong. They are engaged in diplomacy. Of course you can't compare with them in terms of etiquette. But there should be politeness. This is the truth that children should understand. Just like today, everyone else prepared gifts. , should you also prepare? People are mutual, if you don’t respect others, others will not respect you. Moreover, Pharaoh is a big man in Hanji, and your little respect may get Hanji and Mangxie Peace, why not do it? It's not difficult, right? I didn't make you smile like a flower at others, if you did, I would be scared to death."

"You don't like to say polite words, so it's not too much to nod and say hello when you meet a guest. It's not hard for you to say thank you when someone says nice things to you. Xuanyuan Zhan, are you sure you are not a year old this year? I think Mier is more polite than you."

Xuanyuan Zhan, who was scolded unceremoniously, was still a little blocked, but he didn't bleed anymore. "You said, write me a collection of poems."

"I'll write to you as I said. But you have to promise me that you won't be so rude and petty in the future. If there were no outsiders present today, I would definitely slap you. It's a shame."

"Yeah." Xuanyuan Zhan got up to go to the bathroom, he planned to take a cold shower, and then do [-] push-ups and [-] sit-ups to suppress his desire.

"Go get me a glass of water first." Lu Bupo ordered after he got into bed.

Xuanyuan Zhan's footsteps turned towards the door, and when he walked to the kitchen to pour water, his movements suddenly stopped.Just now I was so concerned about bleeding, but I forgot one very important thing!Although Xiao Po gave away his most precious collection of poems, but Xiao Po did it for him.After standing there thinking about it for a long time, Xuanyuan Zhan quickly poured the water and strode upstairs, his steps were extremely easy.

Back in the bedroom, everyone on the bed was almost asleep. "Why so slow?"

"There's no water." Passing the water cup to the other party, Xuanyuan Zhan took a peek at Lu Bupo's exposed collarbone, and then took the empty cup.

"Pharaoh is leaving tomorrow, so wake me up early."

"Ah."

After pulling the quilt, Lu Bupo, who was tired all day, couldn't open his eyes.Xuanyuan Zhan stood by the bed for a while, and asked, "Do you want to take the medicine again?"

Lu Bupo didn't move for a long time, and just as he was about to leave in disappointment, he heard a mutter: "Come on. I don't want to drink porridge anymore." His eyes lit up.

I was planning to update two chapters yesterday, but it started to thunder again in the middle of the afternoon
