"Do you really think that all this is a coincidence?"
The setting sun slanted into the window lattice.
In the kitchen of the sub-helm of the Hangzhou Beggar Gang, monk Wuhua is lowering his head, cutting lotus roots into translucent slices with almost the same thickness.
His eyes are like stars, his face is handsome, his expression is as clear as water when he looks down at the lotus root, as if with tenderness and compassion. Standing in the kitchen with a kitchen knife in his hand, he can't let him be contaminated with fireworks.
His voice was warm and cool, like a cup of warm water, which made people feel comfortable.
"That Duan Yu said that she originally wanted to go north to Wudang Mountain to find friends, but she came to Hangzhou City by going the wrong way." Nangong Ling stood beside her, looking at her brother, the sunset shrouded Wuhua, her skin was almost translucent. , as if above the nine heavens, untouched by the clouds of the world.
"She said she took the wrong road. Wudang is in Hubei, Hangzhou is in Zhejiang, one is in the north, and the other is in the south. Tell me, how do you go on this road so that the difference is hundreds of miles away?" While speaking, Wuhua did not raise her head. Look at my sister, just cut the lotus root and immerse it in cold water, take the mushroom and continue.
"After all, he came from a remote area, and it's possible that he didn't know the way in the Central Plains." Nangong Ling retorted softly.
"A poor country," Wu Hua turned her eyes sideways and glanced at Nangong Ling, her eyes were cold, as if mocking her ignorance, "Do you know who she is?"
"Duan family from Dali." Nangong Ling said indifferently.
"She is the young master of the Duan family in Dali. She has been known as a child prodigy since she was a child. She is deeply loved by the people in Dali. A few days ago, she defeated the Tubo national teacher Dalunming King Jiumozhi with just one move. Dali probably has an attitude of scruples about Tubo. , concealed this matter, and did not publicize it, but you know, that one happens to be in the Western Regions," Wu Hua smiled lightly and put the rouge radish out one by one, "so, I just know something .”
"What, Jiumozhi! How is that possible!" Nangong Ling suddenly showed a horrified expression, "How old is she?"
Even if Duan Yu subdued the White Jade Demon, Nangong Ling was never so surprised.
"In this world, there are already geniuses. Didn't that one teach you a lesson?" Wuhua said with a slight smile, "Otherwise, that one is the only young master in Dali. If anything happens, it will shake Dali's section." Dali’s foundation, if she is not confident that she has the ability to run amok, would Dali let her go to the Central Plains alone? Dali let her go to the Central Plains alone?”
"Brother, what do you mean," Nangong Ling said, "Dali has long been in collusion with Qiao Feng, this time the young master of Dali came to the Central Plains to get the news, and he wants to help Qiao Feng secure his position and eliminate my hidden danger? That Duan Yu didn't look so stupid at all, but pretended to be crazy to lower my vigilance."
"Otherwise, how do you explain that she ran into Qiao Feng as soon as she came, and within a meal, Qiao Feng took her to the beggar gang's sub-helm?"
"Brother Qiao is easy to trust sometimes." Nangong Ling unconsciously defended Qiao Feng, "That Duan Yu said that she had no money and no place to stay. Brother Qiao saw her pitiful, so he brought her back. , this has never happened before.”
"Then let me tell you now," Wu Hua finished processing all the ingredients in her hands, and still carefully arranged them on the plate, "The mother of this girl Duan once came to Jiangnan, and Wang Qingluo, the current owner of Mantuo Villa, belongs to Jiangnan Hua's family. Patriarch Hua Ruling, have you ever been in close contact?"
"Ah..." Nangong Ling suddenly heard the gossip of the previous generation, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"It's just meeting by chance, people who have known each other for a day, trust each other," Wu Hua put the plate into the pot and steamed it, "Do you think it's possible?"
"So, brother thinks that she came to Jiangnan on purpose to prevent me from returning to the helm of the beggar gang?"
"If you catch the White Jade Demon with your own hands, Qiao Feng will not stop you from going back no matter what the reason is," Wuhua said, "But the majestic young master of Dali traveled thousands of miles from Dali to Hangzhou only for this small matter? That one, Know how naive you are?"
"Which one?" Nangong Ling immediately corrected him unhappily, "That's our biological mother."
"Okay, she doesn't treat me like you," it was your mother, who hid the sharp sarcasm in her eyes from me, "I've already helped you deal with this time, so you can't be like this next time." Careless."
Hearing what he said, Nangong Ling suddenly showed a embarrassed expression, "Then Bai Yumo didn't say anything?"
"It's natural," Wu Hua fished out a piece of tofu from the pool next to her, and continued with the next dish, "You can rest assured."
"Thank you, brother." Nangong Ling said sincerely.
Wu Hua looked calm, "She gave the order, you are in charge of the affairs of the Central Plains, and I am assisting you only due to my duty, there is nothing I can't thank you for."
"Brother's talent and martial arts are higher than mine, I" Nan Gongling wanted to say something to back down for a while, but couldn't say it.
"I heard that you went to see Chu Liuxiang?" Wu Hua's eyes were not happy, and she was not surprised.
The women in their family are all ambitious and unwilling to be inferior to others. In this regard, Nangong Ling is exactly the same as that one, and she is worthy of being a mother and daughter.
Nangong Ling blushed, "He just happened to come to Hangzhou, and when we met, we met."
"Chu Liuxiang, you have to guard against him." Wu Hua said.
"This is just my private matter. I will pay attention to it and keep him from knowing our affairs." Nangong Ling became a little annoyed, "Brother, stop talking about it."
"Then what to do next, have you decided yet?" Wu Hua really didn't mention Chu Liuxiang anymore.
"Yes," Nangong Ling said again, appearing resolute and decisive, "Since we already know that the other party's coming is not good, no matter what she wants to do, let's act first."
Wu Hua nodded, Nangong Ling seemed to be encouraged, and said, "I don't know how my brother's food is prepared, and whether we can send her to the west."
"Are you sure she's coming back?"
Nangong Ling curled her lips, "Duan Yu was reincarnated from a starving ghost. She said she was going out to find a job, but she went to the streets every day to chat with idlers, and she came back on time when it was time to eat. My brother just watched it, but her mouth was tricky. Very good, even if there is an extra grain of salt, you can taste it, and brother's food can guarantee that she will not have any problems eating it?"
Wuhua smiled reservedly, and took out the dishes from the pot, "How about you see for yourself?"
Nangongling couldn't help but swallowed as the aroma came over the face.
"Don't talk about that reputation," Nangong Ling nodded to Wuhua's satisfaction, and complimented, "Even the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will find it difficult to resist seeing the food of the elder brother."
"Master Rudder, this subordinate has something to report." At this moment, the voice of the Beggar Clan's confidant came from outside.
"What's the matter?" Nangong Ling frowned impatiently.
"The girl Duan just sent a letter, saying that she has found a place to work, with food and lodging included, and she will not come back in the future. When I have a chance in the future, I will thank the host for taking me in these few days."
Nangong Ling frowned suddenly, "Do you know where it is?"
"Someone below saw her enter the Mantuo Villa, and it seems that she never came out again." The confidant said.
crackle!
With a blank expression on her face, Nangong Ling raised her hand and threw the dish on the stove to the ground, her eyes were burning with anger, "I'm going to kill her, I'm going to kill her—!"
No more doubts!She was played!
Nangong Ling thought of these days, it seems that the other party has been playing tricks and showing off, but in fact, he was watched by the other party's monkey show, and the killing intent couldn't help but surge up.
"Interesting." Wuhua didn't have such a big reaction as hers. She only raised her long and delicate eyebrows slightly, and tapped her chin with her white and slender fingertips, "This Dali Duan family is even more interesting than I imagined."
----
At the same time, Duan Yu is encountering a major decision in his life.
Outside the city of Hangzhou, in the Brocade Tower of Mantuo Villa, the layout is elegant, and the table is full of delicacies. The owner of the villa, Wang Qingluo, is hosting a banquet for Duan Yu, and the owner of the villa, Wang Yanyu, is accompanying him on the table.
At this time, Wang Qingluo was looking at Duan Yu with kindness and gentleness on his face, and his tone was kind and full of enthusiasm: "Yu'er, if I ration your brother of the Wang family to your husband, would you like it?"
Let's start from the beginning on this matter.
Since Qiao Feng and the others left, Duan Yu's treatment in the sub-helm of the beggar gang has plummeted. Not only did his meals become rice and pickles every day, mice and cockroaches appeared from time to time in the sleeping place.
Nangong Ling explained to her that in fact, the daily life and diet of the Beggar Clan sub-helmsmen is like this. A few days ago, it was to entertain the gang leader and his party. Then there is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, and the ground is low and humid. Duan Yu will buy snacks outside again, so he provokes rats, Cockroaches didn't change either.
However, since then, Nangong Ling has refused to eat with Duan Yu at mealtimes on the grounds of her busy schedule. Instead, she cooks a small stove in her study. There is not even an extra grain of rice in the kitchen, and there is nothing floating in her room. The taste is more like what Duan Yu ate the day before, the skill of the chef in that restaurant.
Moreover, since Qiao Feng left, the atmosphere in this sub-helm of the beggar gang has changed. Those beggars have suddenly become cold and business-like towards her, not at all like the way she has built the reputation of the beggar gang to be close to her.
It's not like Duan Yu doesn't know that people want to drive her away, but she has no money in her purse, so she must find a job to support herself.
Therefore, in the past few days, she went to the streets every day to inquire about various news, just to find a suitable job.
It's not that she can't do things like moving goods on the pier, but they don't provide accommodation, and the salary is not enough for her to eat.
Helping people with writing, fortune-telling, etc., the city of Hangzhou is quite saturated, and it is not a job that can bring money.
She inquired around, but she got a lot of gossip about Hangzhou City. After all, Hangzhou City is a prosperous place, there are quite a few female courtesans, and there are three famous sons in total.
One is the prince of Mantuo Mountain Villa. This son has a low-key personality, rarely goes out, and is usually not seen.
One is Mr. Murong from Shenhe Villa. This Mr. is quite mysterious. He goes out for most of the year, and he doesn't know where he went.
There is another one, Mr. Huamanlou, this young man is very remarkable, and everyone in Hangzhou city can say no to him without giving a thumbs up. It is said that this young man is both civil and military, willing to do good deeds, and lives alone in the Baihua Building in the city. , the family is the Hua family, the richest man in Jiangnan.
"The richest man in Jiangnan!" Duan Yu's eyes widened.
"That's not it," gossip people like this kind of flattery, "At least half of the shops in Hangzhou City are his family's property, and more than half of the fertile land outside Hangzhou City is his family's land. Do you think you have money?"
Duan Yu held the duck oil shortbread in both hands, and nodded quickly, "Rich, so rich!"
"This dude has only one flaw," the gossipman sighed heavily when he said this.
"what?"
"This dude seems to have an eye disease, so he can't see."
"That's a pity," Duan Yu sighed with the idlers.
Eye disease aside, Duan Yu heard that this playboy has a very good personality, the gate of his Baihualou is not closed all the year round, if someone is unlucky, he can live there temporarily.
This is very suitable for Duan Yu, no matter what, she wants to move out of the beggars' gang first, and she also heard that this playboy likes flowers and plants very much.
It's a coincidence, isn't it, she is the best at this. The skills produced by the system, after her past verification, are indeed proficient in flowers and plants. If she can help, the exchange for accommodation will not be considered in vain.
Speaking of this, the beggar gang is really not loyal enough, let's just forget that Nangong Ling doesn't want to see her, she helped catch Bai Yumo anyway, a few meals, a rest room is nothing, but it turned out to be really annoying.
Duan Yu decided to go to Baihualou to try his luck, just like an idler asking the way.
I don't know, for some reason, or she misheard the dialect, she finished eating the shortbread, and didn't see the Baihualou mentioned by the idlers, but walked further and further away, and went to the back of a mountain villa.
Duan Yu walked to the side of the fence, saw that it was a mountain villa, naturally knew that he had gone wrong, and wanted to go back, at this moment, he heard the sound of a zither coming from inside.
The setting sun slanted into the window lattice.
In the kitchen of the sub-helm of the Hangzhou Beggar Gang, monk Wuhua is lowering his head, cutting lotus roots into translucent slices with almost the same thickness.
His eyes are like stars, his face is handsome, his expression is as clear as water when he looks down at the lotus root, as if with tenderness and compassion. Standing in the kitchen with a kitchen knife in his hand, he can't let him be contaminated with fireworks.
