[Lu Xiaofeng + Chu Liuxiang] Hua Xiangrong

A man dressed in Western Regions suddenly jumped into the hall to the tune of Hu Xuanwu and started dancing in the hall.He is of medium stature, but his skill is good. This dance has both masculine strength and feminine softness, which is also very pleasing to the eye.When he finished dancing, the hall was full of applause.

"Honorable guests, I am the Emir. I am here to celebrate the birthday of the owner of Hua Zhuang under the order of the king of Hanhai Kingdom. I have prepared some tricks to cheer everyone up."

The man who claimed to be Emil had a strange accent in Beijing dialect, and he seemed unproficient.He raised his hand and clapped twice, and three wooden barrels rolled in outside the door.Everyone was wondering what the mystery of this barrel was, and several children got out of the barrel, each carrying a basket of gold, silver and jewels in their hands.

Everyone clicked their tongues in admiration, these baskets of gold and silver probably cost several 10 taels.

Sure enough, he was the king of the Hanhai Kingdom, and his attack was extraordinary.

Hua Ruling smiled and thanked him. He and the king of Hanhai Kingdom have been friends for many years, and he naturally accepted these gifts.

Suddenly there was another burst of soft music from the Western Regions outside the door, and a masked woman from the Western Regions walked in.

It's more like floating than walking, she came in almost an inch above the ground.

It's just that most of the people sitting here are men, who are attracted by her soft waist and light dancing posture, and few people see it.

Hua Xiangrong is a girl, so naturally she is not that devoted.

She picked up the wine glass in front of her, smelled it, felt a little strange, and let out a snort.

Hua Manlou turned around and asked in concern, "What's wrong?"

Huamanlou couldn't see it, and naturally she wasn't among those addicted people.

Hua Xiangrong picked up the wine glass and shook it quickly in front of Hua Manlou, and said, "Seventh brother, don't you think this wine is a bit strange."

Flowers filled the corridors, "This wine has a pungent aroma of spices from the Western Regions."

Lu Xiaofeng interrupted suddenly, "Really? I can only smell the tangy aroma of wine."

Hua Xiang smiled and said, "When you meet good wine, even if it is poisoned, you probably won't be able to smell it."

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard and said, "If someone poisons this fine wine, it would be a waste of money."

As he spoke, he drank another glass, looked at Chu Liuxiang not far away who was still taking a sip, and Lu Xiaofeng wondered, "Chu Xiang is handsome, this wine is sweet and mellow, at this time the house is full of guests, beautiful women are in front of you, it is the time of life, how can you be happy?" Can I have a drink?"

Hua Xiangrong said with a smile, "He doesn't drink wine."

Lu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded, and said, "Don't drink wine?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded and said, "It's really because I don't drink wine. I'm afraid I won't be able to appreciate this good wine."

Chu Liuxiang has a quirk. He eats grapes and loves them.

But he would not eat anything else made from grapes, neither raisins nor wine, he would not eat even a mouthful.

Hua Xiangrong looked at the sky outside the door, and said, "Since you don't drink alcohol, come and see the lanterns with me, it's already late now, there must be lanterns to see."

Although Hua Xiangrong is not beautiful, but at least no man can resist a girl looking at him expectantly.What's more, Chu Liuxiang promised the two of them to watch the lantern.

Chu Liuxiang said, "Then you should at least talk to Hua Daxia."

When Hua Xiangrong heard his promise, she couldn't wait to pull him to stand up, pouted her lips in Hua Ruling's direction, and said, "I've already said that to Dad, and he agreed. And look at him like that, I said Can he hear it?"

Chu Liuxiang turned around and saw that they were still admiring the dance of the Western Region girl, she sighed to herself and complained to Lu Xiaofeng, and then left with Hua Xiangrong through the side door.

It was only after Youshi at this time, and the summer sky always gets dark later, and it is not completely dark now.

However, when walking from Peach Blossom Castle to the Meng River, there were already quite a few people gathered here.

A stage was set up in the open space on one side, and a group of people surrounded by three floors were watching the lantern show.

On the other side, two long ropes were erected, and there were lanterns of different shapes hanging there. There were rabbits and tigers, lotuses and carps, and all kinds of lanterns looked very beautiful when illuminated by candlelight.The people below gathered together in twos and threes, laughing happily.

Chu Liuxiang said, "I didn't expect that even though it wasn't the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Menghe Lantern Festival would be quite lively."

Hua Xiang smiled and said, "That's natural. The Menghe Lantern Festival is famous in the Jiangnan area. Every year, many people come to see the lanterns. It's almost the same as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in other places. And it's held for three days in a row, every day. New pattern."

As he said that, he patted Chu Liuxiang's shoulder with one hand, and pointed to a short distance with the other hand, "Chu Liuxiang, let's go release the river lantern."

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Us? I am so old, and I still go to release the river lantern with you?"

Hua Xiangrong glanced at him and said, "You're the youngest?"

Chu Liuxiang said, "Didn't you say I was a bad old man that day?"

Hua Xiangrong shook her head and said, "Then I called you that because you called me an old woman. In fact, you are not old at all."

Hua Xiangrong took a few steps back, looked Chu Liuxiang up and down, and continued, "It looks like it's only 35 six."

Chu Liuxiang choked, and said, "Do I look that old?"

Hua Xiangrong got a little impatient, and waved her hands, "You say you won't grow old, what do you care about? Let's go quickly. Don't worry, this is not a begging festival, not a marriage."

It took Chu Liuxiang a long while before he smiled and said, "I'm not afraid even if I'm seeking marriage."

Hua Xiangrong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Then it's over."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Chu Liuxiang to say anything, she dragged him to buy two river lanterns from a street stall and walked towards the Meng River.

There have been quite a few river lanterns floating on the surface of the Meng River, most of them are in the shape of lotus flowers, lit with red candles, just like the people who put up the river lanterns, it is very beautiful to gather together in twos and threes.

Hua Xiangrong bought a lotus-shaped pot and a peach-blossom-shaped pot, held it in her hand for a long time, then handed the lotus-shaped pot to Chu Liuxiang, and said with a charming smile, "Well, since Chu Xiang is handsome, your peach blossoms are enough. If there are too many, just take the lotus one, how about giving me the peach blossom one?"

Chu Liuxiang said helplessly, "Does it make you feel uncomfortable if you don't run on me?"

Hua Xiangrong thought for a while, and said quite seriously, "Well, this, maybe it's a habit."

Spreading his hands, he said helplessly, "You also know that habits are not easy to change."

Chu Liuxiang sighed secretly, took the lotus-shaped river lantern, patted Hua Xiangrong's head and said, "You little brat, go and let it go."

Hua Xiangrong immediately jumped up and said, "Oh, how many times have I told you, don't pat my head, you won't grow taller! Don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't pat my head?"

The one who answered her was the back of Chu Liuxiang walking to the river bank by himself, and only waved the river lantern in his hand to her as a promise.

Hua Xiangrong stomped her horns bitterly, scolded Chu Liuxiang in her heart, and followed after feeling relieved.

"Chu Liuxiang, I said you wait for me."
