Ambush from all sides
Chapter 12
When Uncle Zhong and Dead Ye walked into the lobby one after the other, the expressions on their faces were just as Zhan Hao expected, one was happy and the other was depressed.Zhan Hao reclined in his chair, and gave Uncle Zhong a meaningful smile, while Dead Ye raised his eyes from behind and stared at him fiercely.
Dead Leaf doesn't know, but to Zhan Hao, his eyes look like losing his temper now, it can't cause any damage at all.
Uncle Zhong strode in with his hands behind his back, and nodded to Qiu Langxing as soon as he sat down. Qiu Langxing stood up honestly and bowed to him, saying, "Master." Uncle Zhong took Min Wei and handed it over He took a sip of his tea, then put down the teacup, and asked leisurely, "What's the matter, you want Cen to call me over so early."
Zhan Hao rubbed his eyebrows, and said amusedly: "Uncle Zhong, it's getting late, the hour is almost over." As he spoke, he raised his chin towards Li Feifei: "Li Feifei took Pei Junrong from Xinghua last night. When I rushed over, my car was hijacked halfway, Pei Junrong and his son were taken away, and I don't know where they are now."
"He was robbed?" Uncle Zhong raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and asked, "Where did you get robbed?"
Li Feifei replied: "On the official road from Zhenjiang Mansion to Changzhou, it was robbed at midnight when it was about midnight."
"Is that so..." Uncle Zhong leaned back in the chair thoughtfully, thinking with his eyes downcast, the eyeballs slowly moved back and forth, and finally fell on the dead leaf.While staring at the dead leaf, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully, his eyes made the dead leaf subconsciously clenched his hands, and his whole body tensed up.
Uncle Zhong squinted his eyes and smiled, turned to look at Zhan Hao, and asked, "Do you still remember the note Cen showed us earlier?"
Zhan Hao raised his eyebrows, showing a clear expression: "Ah, Luoying Mountain."
Zhong Yunde nodded in satisfaction, and leisurely reached out and tapped the table, "Luoying Mountain belongs to the Lin family, but the Lin family has no conflict with us in the cloth business. If there is, it should be the Yan family."
Qiu Langxing and Li Wei looked at each other for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly involve the Lin family?"
"Well," Uncle Zhong glanced at Zhan Hao meaningfully, then at the dead leaves, and then lowered his head to drink tea with a smile, "You have to ask your Boss Zhan about this. The romantic debts when you were young, now others are urging you Pay it back."
After hearing this, Qiu Langxing couldn't help revealing a gloating look.Zhan Hao rubbed his brows helplessly, and said, "Uncle Zhong, are you so sure that Lin Zhihuan colluded with that Yan Qi?"
"It's not just the two of them." Uncle Zhong put the teacup back calmly, raised his eyes and looked at Zhan Hao steadily, "The prefect Zhang of Suzhou, including the Shadow Gate you mentioned, should be in the same group. Some time ago Didn’t you want me to solve the incident in Qu’s Kid’s Restaurant? The magistrate didn’t give me a good look, refused to let the autopsy, and insisted that the problem was caused by the puffer fish, clamoring to close down our fishing ground.”
Uncle Zhong paused for a moment, then glanced at him and shook his head lightly, and said, "Master, don't blame me for not reminding you, Di Deqing also made moves yesterday. Those old bastards have been urging him to find an heir , or sell the property in his hand. Now that he is leaving for Suzhou, it is estimated that it will not be long before someone will send invitations to you young masters."
Zhan Hao listened with lowered eyes, raised his head for a while, spread his hands and said helplessly: "It seems that I have to go to Suzhou?"
Uncle Zhong also spread his hands: "It's just a matter of time."
"Okay then!" Zhan Hao stood up with a long sigh, blinked lazily, and said in a muffled voice: "It's really troublesome, I still have to run... just go, you pack everything today, tomorrow Let's go." After speaking, he turned around slowly and waved his hand lazily at them: "Uncle Zhong, tell them to leave, I haven't eaten breakfast yet."
After hearing this, everyone stood up and said goodbye one by one.Shi Lin ran to Li Feifei's side, held up his hand, and carefully helped him go out.When passing by the dead leaves at the door, Li Wei raised his eyes and looked at him deeply for a while.Withered Leaf had no expression on her face, she just looked at him coldly for a moment, then turned and walked out of the lobby.
Walking into Cheng Hao's room, Yu Ke just brought breakfast to the table.Seeing him, Zhan Hao greeted him with a refreshed face: "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come, come, sit down, and eat together."
Yu Ke looked at Zhan Hao sadly from the side, then walked out holding the tray without saying a word.When she passed by Dead Leaf, she gave him a hard look and said "hum".Dead Leaf felt baffled, why was she glared at by two people so early in the morning?Nagging... He faintly rolled his eyes, walked to the table and sat down.
Zhan Hao looked at him with a smile, reached out to help him fill a bowl of porridge, and put several pieces of meat in it.When Dead Leaf saw that he was serving food and vegetables for herself with his own hands, her face was a little tense.He lowered his head uncomfortably, twitched the corner of his mouth awkwardly, and said in a calm voice, "I have my own hands."
"I know." Zhan Hao replied nonchalantly, then buried his head and started eating porridge.After a while Uncle Zhong came in and saw them both eating breakfast in silence, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
These two kids... Zhong Yunde sat down with a sigh, Zhan Hao glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Uncle Zhong, you can eat too."
"What do you want to eat? I've already eaten." Uncle Zhong leaned back into his chair and watched them eat leisurely: "When Cen came over to call me, I just got up after eating. It seemed to float in front of me from the roof, and even surprised my maid, this visiting habit is really strange."
"Is that so?" Zhan Hao glanced at Dead Ye with a smile in his eyes, seeing that he was drinking porridge with his head sullen, pretending that he didn't hear what they said.Zhan Hao was a little dissatisfied that he deliberately ignored himself, and his bad intentions rose again in an instant.He turned his face away with a smile and said to Uncle Zhong: "This guy is not sensible, I will definitely teach him well in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Dead Leaf was really shocked.He put his chopsticks heavily on the bowl, raised his head and stared at Zhan Hao fiercely, as if he wanted to scold something.Zhan Hao turned his head to hold back his laughter, raised one hand to flick at him, and said in a trembling voice, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm just joking with you..."
Dead Leaf was still staring at him, her brows were almost knotted.Zhan Hao stopped laughing and turned back, clasped his hands together and made a low-browed look, and said softly, "Second Master Cen, I was wrong, don't be angry?"
Seeing them going back and forth, Uncle Zhong couldn't help but sighed with a smile, and said, "You two are really not in a hurry, the money tree has been taken away, and you are still flirting here."
"Who flirted with him?!" Dead Ye couldn't hold back his breath, and finally choked out with his eyes wide open.Uncle Zhong and Zhan Hao opened their eyes slightly, and sighed in unison: "... I forced you to say a word."
When the dead leaf heard it, she became angry immediately, and her lungs felt sore when she breathed out.He sat stiffly on the chair, gritted his teeth and suppressed for a long time, finally couldn't hold back, stood up, picked up the bowl and rushed out.Zhan Hao looked at his back cheerfully, and whispered to Uncle Zhong, "Oh, you know how to take the food away, so you don't seem too angry."
Uncle Zhong couldn't help lowering his head and laughing, and said, "Master, I really didn't realize that you have such a bad temper before. Just like Zhao'er, you play tricks on people you like." He said again: "But let me remind you first, it's okay to tease, but don't bully too much. Boy Cen's temper, maybe one day he will be really crazy, and he probably won't come back after leaving. Everything needs to be done. There is a limit, you know?"
Zhan Hao smiled leisurely: "Don't worry, I have my own considerations." After speaking, he drank all the porridge in the bowl in one go, and smiled at Uncle Zhong with his mouth pouting.After swallowing the porridge for a while, he said: "Uncle Zhong, if you have any letters in your hand, please tell me. I have grown mushrooms a while ago, and I haven't done anything."
Uncle Zhong lowered his eyes and smiled to himself for a while, then said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, take your time. It doesn't matter if you can focus on Boy Cen, I will take care of these things for you, and Uncle Zhong can handle it. "
"Kid Hao doesn't want Uncle Zhong to be tired." Zhan Hao smiled and poured a cup of tea for Zhong Yunde and pushed him over, saying, "When Father handed Uncle Zhong to me, he was still in good health. If I didn't take care of him well, he would be tired." If you are sick, how should you explain to him?"
"You kid!" Zhong Yunde laughed when he said it: "What do you mean handing me over to you? You are obviously handing over you to me! You are not big or small, you are a generation behind me, why are you being so good! "
Zhan Hao narrowed his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair and laughed leisurely.Uncle Zhong didn't know his details, so naturally he wouldn't understand the memories he had.In today's world, he can be said to be more than a dozen generations behind everyone.But when facing the people he cares about, all these experiences are nothing.There is no need to continue this kind of inheritance, and the memory of the ancestors is meaningless.The current him is just Zhan Hao, the [-]-year-old young head of the Zhan family, not the descendant of the owner of Laoshizi Island.
Now he only lives in this life, only in the present moment, and only needs to maintain a close and inseparable relationship with the people he cares about.
This is the so-called human relationship, the so-called meaning of the rest of his life.
Early the next morning, just after dawn, the Zhan family's carriage team drove out of the city.
Zhan Hao was still sitting in the biggest carriage, Quan Jing and Yu Ke were still driving the carriage outside, but there was an extra Uncle Zhong in the carriage, and a dead leaf riding a horse outside the carriage.Li Feifei, Shi Lin and Qiu Langxing sat in the carriage behind, and Buzhuang's motorcade followed closely behind.
Inside the carriage, Uncle Zhong was sitting cross-legged leisurely, stuffing shredded tobacco into the pot, lit it, and took a leisurely puff.After a while, he raised his eyes and saw Zhan Hao on the opposite side with his head tilted, his eyes half-closed, and he was looking out of the window motionlessly.With a cigarette in his mouth, Uncle Zhong leaned over to look curiously, and saw Dead Ye riding in front of him, and his thin, straight back could just be seen from the window.
There was a meaningful smile on Uncle Zhong's face, and he leaned back calmly, squinting his eyes and said sarcastically: "Don't look, the fox should blow its hair again."
Hearing his words, Zhan Hao also turned around with a smile, and said, "It's good to blow your hair, it means you're close to me."
Looking at his leisurely and calculating smile, Uncle Zhong secretly said to the dead leaf, "I wish I was lucky".The young master of his family usually looks lazy and doesn't show himself, but when he really deals with people, he never misses.He took a fancy to the second boy of the Cen family, and he might be tricked after that.
Thinking about it, Uncle Zhong took another puff of cigarette leisurely, squinted his eyes and looked Zhan Hao up and down.
Zhan Hao is wearing a dark gray satin robe today, with some bird patterns embroidered with silver thread on the edge, and the other clothes and pants are all blue gray.He was leaning against the window lazily and without losing his posture, and was looking out again at this time.Uncle Zhong noticed that he had been holding three Yuhua stones in his hand, and was playing with them in a leisurely manner, but the cigarette stick that has always been with him for this year was not by his side.Zhong Yunde folded his arms around his chest, took a puff of cigarette leisurely, and said leisurely: "Master, I asked someone to get some blood cinnabar in Dali, this time it is better than before, the color is beautiful, and the silk is long, do you want to call it?" Zheng Dong sent someone to rush over here?"
Zhan Hao turned around and smiled at him, waved his hands and said, "No, I've quit smoking now."
"Hey, have you quit smoking?" Uncle Zhong raised his eyebrows with a smirk: "I heard that girl Minwei say that Cen has a bad nose? You even gave him medicine, it seems it's not fake."
Zhan Hao wanted to take a good look at the figure of the dead leaf on the horse, but this Uncle Zhong always laughed at him half-truthfully.He had no choice but to turn around, sighed, and answered in a compromised way: "Yes, he is not used to the smell of cigarettes, so I quit. He can't smell too pungent flowers, and he doesn't like socializing with people. Let him live in the east courtyard. Uncle, I really fell this time, are you satisfied?" He said with a dumbfounding expression: "Why are you so happy when I fell?"
"That's natural." Uncle Zhong sat up straight and shook his body rather apprehensively.He looked at Zhan Hao with a picky eye and a smile, and said with a cigarette holder in his mouth, "I can't be more happy to see a proud person like you suffer. But ah..." As he spoke, he leaned forward as if calculating something He leaned over and lowered his voice and said, "If you want me to say, you are still too restrained, you look like nothing happened. Tell uncle the truth, don't you feel itchy when you look at Cen boy now?"
"Itchy heart..." Seeing him squinting, Zhan Hao also narrowed his eyes in cooperation, leaned over, and answered slowly, "Why don't I feel itchy anymore? I'm looking at him now, thinking , and put him on the bed one day, which part should I start eating?"
Speaking of this, the leisurely smile on Zhan Hao's face began to become wicked.He seemed to be turned on by Uncle Zhong, and his whole body began to wake up: "Now, I want to strip his clothes and touch his body. But the problem is that I can't eat it yet." Ah, so I can only enjoy my eyes.”
When a man likes someone, the most obvious manifestation is that he has an uncontrollable lust for that person.If you like him, you will want to get him. This getting is not only about feelings, but for men, it is about body.Let him be stained with his own scent, brand his own mark on his skin, let him go wherever he goes, others will know that this person is his own.
Only by falling in love with a person can a person change from a beast to a person.It is precisely because of falling in love with a person that a person changes from a person back to a beast.
Looking at Zhan Hao's undisguised eyes now, Zhong Yunde knew that his young master had already completed such a change for one person.He and Zhan Hao looked at each other for a long time, their eyes were calm and sinister.The shredded tobacco in the tobacco pot became fiery red under the high temperature, and the flame spread along the meridians, giving off a burnt aroma.
After a while, Zhong Yunde slowly raised his lips, smiled leisurely, and retreated leisurely.He smiled and stretched out a finger, and shook Zhan Hao meaningfully: "Don't say anything wrong, young master, don't say anything wrong."
Zhan Hao also laughed.He smiled calmly and calmly, raised his eyebrows slowly, and replied in the same tone: "Uncle Zhong, don't listen to evil, don't listen to evil."
At noon, Quan Jing raised the curtain of the carriage, turned to Zhan Hao and asked, "Master, do you want to stop for a while? We just arrive at Master Li's teahouse."
"It's probably time to arrive. Let's take a break. They're tired too." Zhan Hao and Uncle Zhong sat on one side, leaning against each other and looking at Quan Jing with a smile on their faces. A rain flower and a stone bone.Seeing Quan Jing shudder, he quickly put down the curtain, turned around and slammed the carriage.
The two horses pulling the cart neighed in dissatisfaction. Yu Ke was taken aback, raised her eyes and pouted her lips and pinched his arm: "Quan Jing! What are you doing, you idiot!"
The corners of Quan Jing's mouth twitched, and he said, "It's all right." He shook his body, jumped out of the car, walked to the front to lead the horse, and brought the team to a stop beside Li Ji Teahouse.
Boss Li is obviously an acquaintance with Zhan Hao. When he saw Quan Jing approaching at the door, he immediately greeted him warmly: "Oh, isn't this Boss Zhan! Are you going to Suzhou again today?"
Zhan Hao had just gotten off the carriage, turned around and saw dead leaves falling into the middle of the motorcade at some point, and was about to tell him to come forward when Boss Li came over to say hello.He put on a faint smile on his face, turned around and greeted people: "Boss Li, don't come here without any problems."
Boss Li is a thin, capable middle-aged man, dressed plainly.After exchanging greetings with Zhan Hao, he counted the people in the convoy and muttered softly: "Ten, 17 people... Boss Zhan, you are bringing more and more followers, that's okay, take care of me Business, haha! Sit down, sit down, it’s empty, I’ll make tea for you!" After finishing speaking, he ran into the teahouse.
Behind them, the expressionless Li Fei walked over with Shi Lin on his arm, while Qiu Langxing followed them with a mean smile.Withered Ye got off the horse and walked with a blank expression, her eyes were lowered, and she didn't look too emotional.
Zhan Hao stood at the door of the teahouse, waiting for him to come over.Li watched him standing there very much, and of course he wasn't so narcissistic that he thought Zhan Hao was waiting for him, but he still couldn't help it, and said something to Zhan Hao when he entered the door: "Why don't you go in and sit down?"
Zhan Hao gave him a smile in a good mood, pointed at the dead leaves and said, "I'll wait for my guard."
Dead Ye happened to walk a zhang behind, and when she heard this, she gave him a silent look.
Zhan Hao turned his head and smiled at him, saw him approaching, and said in a low voice: "I'm still thinking about the kitten, I said bring it together, but you don't want to."
With half of his face darkened, Dead Leaf raised his head and glared at him angrily: "Who is thinking about that cat?! I'm annoyed before it's too late!"
"Oh..." Zhan Hao had a smile in his eyes, and made an expression of sudden understanding, "Yes, the guard is so annoying, I have to leave this morning and I haven't seen anyone yet, and I need to remind you. What did I do? What happened, in the end, he sat on the edge of the bed and teased the cat, forgetting the time!"
"Funny...!" Withered Ye's eyes were so bloodshot that they were about to come out, but Zhan had no choice but to choke to death.He was hugging Xiao Jiaoer this morning, that's right, indeed... It took a long time to go this time, and when he comes back, Xiao Jiaoer probably won't know him anymore.Recalling the scene this morning, Dead Leaf couldn't help but feel guilty.Under Zhan Hao's penetrating gaze, he had no choice but to give the white family an exasperated look, and then rushed into the teahouse with a dark face.
After drinking tea, after noon, Zhan Hao guessed that everyone had rested, so he said he was leaving.When he went outside and was about to get into the carriage, he watched the dead leaves turn on the horse without saying a word in the distance, and stood alone at the back, and his heart was tugged at that moment.Uncle Zhong passed by him and was about to get into the carriage when he saw him in a daze.Following his line of sight, he saw the lonely figure of withered leaves in the farthest distance.
Uncle Zhong patted Zhan Hao's back knowingly, and said softly, "If you feel sorry for him, just call him over. The carriage is not crowded." After speaking, he got into the carriage with a look of disgust.Zhan Hao was a little amused by what he said, but he was actually worried about Dead Leaf's personality, and he was not sure whether he would accept his kindness or not.But after thinking about it, if I let him go like this, I am afraid that I will never be able to catch up with this awkward and withdrawn guy in my life.
In the end, he chuckled self-deprecatingly, raised his hand and waved at the dead leaves from a distance.
Seeing him, Dead Leaf frowned faintly and hesitated for a while, and finally trotted over on horseback.Zhan Hao saw that his face was sullen and expressionless, and his hair fluttered in the wind when he ran towards him.On the tree-lined road, the sunlight leaked from the gaps between the leaves, passing over his body piece by piece, illuminating his flying hair golden yellow.At that moment, Zhan Hao secretly took a deep breath, and could not help but narrow his eyes.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, this sentence is really good.Now Zhan Hao thinks that his fox boy is very handsome, he is so good-looking that he can overwhelm the country and the city!This is still wearing a mask, if he takes off that obtrusive mask to reveal tattoos and burn scars, it will be even more dragging!
So, when Dead Leaf ran up to him on horseback, Zhan Hao still stared at him with his burning eyes.Dead Leaf frowned and looked at him for a while, thinking what's wrong with this guy, he asked me to come over and didn't speak!She gave him a blank look for a while, turned around and rode the horse to go, but Zhan Hao grabbed his wrist unexpectedly.
Withered Leaf turned her head to stare at him, and said coldly, "What are you doing?!"
Zhan Hao had a smile on his face: "Hey, you don't like riding horses, do you? Would you like to take a carriage with me?"
Withered Ye looked at him speechlessly, while Zhan Hao smiled brighter and brighter.On the side, Quan Jing and Yu Ke were both standing, one cheek twitching, the other full of grievances and resentment.With a dark face, Dead Ye looked at Zhan Hao, then at Quan Jing and Yu Ke, then resolutely pulled out her hand, turned her horse's head, and ran back without looking back.
Zhan Hao was speechless and stood silently for a while, then turned his head to look at Quan Jing and Yu Ke expressionlessly.The two were seen shuddering, their backs shivering, and a sense of panic arose in their hearts.But Zhan Hao just stared at them silently for a while, then lifted the curtain and got into the carriage without saying a word.
Quan Jing: "..."
Yuke: "..."
Scared to death ah ah ah ah ah!
At [-] o'clock in the evening, a group of people arrived in Wuxi.
There is a Zhou mansion in Wuxi, with three gates and six courtyards, which occupies a large area.The owner's family was a well-known rich man in Suzhou and Hangzhou before, but later his family fell into poverty, and his descendants turned the house into an inn.The businessmen around Wuxi come and go, and they all love to live in this week's mansion. Not to mention the beautiful environment, the host's family has come into contact with many wealthy businessmen.Just chat a few words, maybe you can find a business opportunity.
Zhan Hao is one of the regular customers, and he often travels between Changzhou and Suzhou. The boss even reserved a room for him that week.It's just that this time he brought a little more people, 17 people, and there were only eight rooms left in the inn.Excluding his special room, there are only seven rooms.
When Zhan Hao heard the situation, he immediately made a small calculation in his heart: In this case, my family, Cen Xiaobie, will definitely have to squeeze into a room with someone else, so why not just drag him to my place.Thinking about it, he was ready to talk and try to persuade the dead leaves, but the guys in the cloth shop were too knowledgeable about current affairs!There were seven rooms, but those nine people only occupied two rooms!It's fine to just lay the floor, don't be busy, don't be busy...don't be busy, sir!Zhan Hao thought, I am not busy, what are you busy with?
As a result, among the remaining five rooms, Li Feifei and Shi Lin share one room, Qiu Langxing shares room with Quan Jing, and Uncle Yuke and Zhong Shu share one room with Dead Ye.Zhan Hao listened to the assignment, and silently beat Li Fei several times in his heart: Look at the good guy you taught!
Uncle Zhong's room is right next to Zhan Hao's room, in a small yard, and the other people's rooms are all around, and Dead Ye's room is just opposite.
...So when Uncle Zhong came to Zhan Hao with a jug of wine, he saw him sitting on the seat by the window, staring at the opposite room thoughtfully.
Uncle Zhong walked up behind him and also took a look there.In the yellowish light, the figure of the dead leaf was reflected on the opposite window, and it was also sitting by the window, motionless, probably in a daze.Zhong Yunde stared silently for a while, then reached out and patted Zhan Hao's shoulder, and said, "If you want someone, just go to him, what's so difficult about talking to him?"
Zhan Hao quietly turned his face to look at him, then turned back after a while, and said, "I'm waiting for him to take a bath."
After hearing this, Zhong Yunde sat down and put his hands on his forehead helplessly, and said, "What if he doesn't take a bath today?"
Zhan Hao shook his head calmly, and said softly: "This fox can't stand the smell of sweat. He must take a bath after riding a horse in the sun for a day today." Zhong Yunde didn't know whether to praise him for being brilliant, or call him bad.He sighed helplessly, and finally had no choice but to hold the small flagon and pour himself a drink.Zhan Hao turned his face to see the wine, silently picked up a glass and pushed it over.Zhong Yunde glanced up at him, shook his head amusingly, and poured wine for him: "You boy, you've been calculating like this all day long, are you really treating me like a monkey?"
Quietly watching the wine glass being filled, Zhan Hao picked it up and took a sip, and said slowly: "I can't help it, the fox is suspicious, I can only lure the enemy in, and when he approaches my lair, I will drag him in and eat him."
"Okay, okay, you have your own plans, and I don't have to worry about you. But..." Uncle Zhong drank a big sip of wine, sighed comfortably, then raised his head and stared straight at Zhan Hao, "You As I told you earlier, about Fang Qiu, your elder brother Zheng just sent me a letter. Well, Fang Qiu's mother——Ma Qingyun, has been placed under house arrest. Also, in the Lin Mansion, the backyard backer In that field, a large field of poppies and marijuana was planted."
Zhan Hao listened, his eyebrows raised faintly: "Marijuana, poppy?"
How have these things been showing up so often lately?First the dead leaves were poisoned, and now... he thought to himself, his eyes narrowed slowly.After a while, he turned his face to look at Zhong Yunde, and said softly: "Uncle Zhong, after the Double Ninth Festival five years ago, I remember that Furong Building just opened at that time, and you often consulted with me about purchasing goods. Do you remember?" Remember, Ma Qingyun came to look for me one night?"
"After the Double Ninth Festival?" Zhong Yunde frowned, showing a look of deep thought.After a while, he raised his eyebrows suddenly, as if remembering something, he said: "Is it that day? As soon as I walked to the street at the door, I saw the Ma family's sedan chair rushing back. That day, the Qu family and Yan The two boys at home were also there, and when I entered the lobby, Boy Yan was still laughing disgustingly, and I asked him what he was laughing at."
"Yan Peng?" Zhan Hao narrowed his eyes in doubt: "They were there that day?"
After hearing his vague words, Zhong Yunde felt something was wrong in his heart: "Master, what happened that day?"
"It's not a big deal," Zhan Hao lowered his head, frowning slightly, "Ma Qingyun came here before and said Fang Qiu was my son. She also said that she came to give me a nap after the Double Ninth Festival five years ago. I got drugged. But according to what you said, Yan Peng and Xiao Lian were there that day... I don’t quite remember, but if they really got drugged, it’s impossible for the two of them to ignore it?”
Hearing Zhan Hao's words, Zhong Yunde was dumbfounded for a while, and then somehow, his expression became a little regretful: "I hope Fang Qiu is your son..."
Zhan Hao was still thinking about it, but Uncle Zhong muttered these words unexpectedly, and he almost choked on his saliva: "Uncle Zhong, if Fang Qiu is my son, how will I explain to that fox in the future?"
"Let's just say that you are young and frivolous, and you don't understand for a while." Uncle Zhong groaned and drank half a pot of wine after a while.Zhan Hao smiled helplessly, and said to himself, Uncle Zhong, you don't know my details, but he, Cen Bie, knows everything.How can a person who has memories of more than ten lifetimes from birth be young and frivolous?
At this time, Yunde was holding the jug and turned his head to look out. After a while, his half-closed eyes suddenly stared, he reached out and patted Zhan Hao on the shoulder, and shouted in a low voice: "Someone sent a bathtub into Cen's room." Already!"
When Zhan Hao heard this, he quickly turned his head to look, and saw two servants walking into the room carrying a large bucket in a "hangchihangchi".The door of Dead Leaf's room was open, and he stood quietly by the door with no expression on his face.
"You really hit the spot..." Uncle Zhong sat down with a smile, drank the last bit of wine in the small flagon, and then stood up, "I should go back to sleep too, you should lie in ambush He." He stood on the spot and straightened the hem of his clothes, then remembered something, and said, "Zheng Dong and Chonglian are helping to watch over the Changzhou mansion, there should be no big trouble, if not, there will be more Your friends from all corners of the country are helping. On the Suzhou side, you have to pay close attention, young master."
"Naturally." Zhan Hao also stood up, with his hands behind his back, with a calm smile on his face, "Uncle Zhong needs to rest well when he goes back. I still have to rely on your favor for Mr. Di." As he said that, Young Master Zhan showed some shrewd emotion in his eyes.
Zhong Yunde was about to go out, when he heard his words, his body froze for a moment.He hesitated for a while, then raised his head, and saw Zhan Hao's leisurely eyes that meant something... Zhong Yunde froze for a while, and finally smiled resignedly and sighed: "Hey, you boy, you really are..." He spoke halfway, but didn't continue, just shook his head helplessly, and walked out with his hands waved.
Zhan Hao smiled and sent him to the door, he saw Uncle Zhong enter the door, and then turned his eyes to the room of Dead Leaf.In the dim light, the figure of the little fox bathing was blocked by the screen in the room, so he couldn't see it from the window.Thinking of that night, the slightly warm touch of the skin of the dead leaves, the moist and soft tongue in his mouth, his slender and lean body, the light-colored nipples, and the flat lower abdomen——
Hiss... Zhan Hao squinted his eyes, and felt his body faintly stir.
In the room, behind the screen, the dead leaves are quietly soaking in the water, and the consciousness floats erratically with the slightly swaying waves of warm water.
For some reason, he felt very sleepy now, and his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and they were falling down forcefully.Withered Ye lazily scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face, carelessly washing his sweaty left face.The finely undulating scars on the skin of the face twitched and itched under the stimulation of hot water, as if thousands of ants were crawling.
It's disgusting, but at least it's better than being in the sun this afternoon.
Withered Ye covered her face and frowned, was silent for a while, then suddenly let out an annoyed "hum".
In the afternoon, he was almost under the scorching sun, and was scorched by the sun while bumping on horseback.It's so hot that the parts of the body that are in contact with the clothing, or the parts exposed to the outside, are extremely hot.The scar on his chest was aching, and the salty sweat was stained in the tattoo, and the pain under the scar was excruciating from the bite, which made him almost unbearable, and wanted to stretch out his hand and scratch it hard!The pain on the left side of the face covered by the leather mask was unbearable...
So, summer is the most annoying thing, especially running around in the sun!Not to mention the heat, but also to sweat!It would be nice if I took the carriage with that bastard in the afternoon, at least I wouldn't get the sun...
With a dark face, the dead leaves were depressed thinking about Zhan Hao's invitation when they set off at noon, complaining in their hearts, and silently blamed Quan Jing and Yu Ke who were standing beside them at that time.It's good that these two people weren't there at the time, staring at them with such wide eyes, what do you want me to... Bah!I'm not embarrassed!
Suddenly realizing the direction of his thoughts, Dead Leaf glared, then cut off the thought fiercely, and couldn't help feeling annoyed and ashamed.He gritted his teeth and patted the edge of the bucket, and sat in the water feeling annoyed. After a long while, his emotions gradually calmed down.With a stinky face, he stood up while cursing in a low voice, and when he was about to step out of the bathtub, there was a knock on the door.
Dead Leaf was taken aback for a moment, then her body tensed reflexively, and she frowned and retreated into the water: "Who?"
Zhan Hao's slow and calm voice came from outside the door: "Me."
Who knows who you are? !Dead Leaf heard that the person outside the door was Zhan Hao, but she couldn't help but curse angrily in her heart.Zhan Hao's voice is low and magnetic, and ordinary people will never forget it after hearing it once, but it's a pity that now, hearing his unhurried tone, Dead Leaf only feels unreasonable anger in his heart.
"Why are you here?" Withered Leaf turned her face and stared in the direction of the door, her tone was very impatient.Zhan Hao laughed softly outside the door for a while, and replied: "Uncle Zhong told me just now that Fang Qiu's matter has made a little progress, and I wanted to report to you."
Dead Leaf frowned, and then slowly relaxed her body: "Just wait a moment." He said, stood up and stepped out of the bathtub, stood behind the screen, pulled out a towel and began to wipe his hair.Zhan Hao stood quietly at the door, naturally he heard these noises.He listened for a while, then slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and pushed open the door latch with a blade of grass.
With a "click", the dead leaf's movements stopped.He knew that Zhan Hao must have come in, and he didn't think a small latch could stop Zhan Hao... He was just wondering, why didn't Zhan Hao come in later?Isn't he always unhurried, why is he impatient now?
Withered Ye frowned, his movements froze, and through the translucent silk screen, he saw a vague figure walking in slowly, and then closed the door soundlessly.Dead Leaf doesn't know what's wrong with him, he feels a little inexplicably tense and defensive, in short, his whole body is tense - although he doesn't think Zhan Hao will do anything to him, after all, he doesn't have what Zhan Hao needs on him.
On the other side of the screen, the figure was slowly walking in, step by step into the inner room.Withered Ye stared at him, lowered her voice and asked, "Zhan Hao, what are you doing here?"
Dead Leaf doesn't know, but to Zhan Hao, his eyes look like losing his temper now, it can't cause any damage at all.
Uncle Zhong strode in with his hands behind his back, and nodded to Qiu Langxing as soon as he sat down. Qiu Langxing stood up honestly and bowed to him, saying, "Master." Uncle Zhong took Min Wei and handed it over He took a sip of his tea, then put down the teacup, and asked leisurely, "What's the matter, you want Cen to call me over so early."
Zhan Hao rubbed his eyebrows, and said amusedly: "Uncle Zhong, it's getting late, the hour is almost over." As he spoke, he raised his chin towards Li Feifei: "Li Feifei took Pei Junrong from Xinghua last night. When I rushed over, my car was hijacked halfway, Pei Junrong and his son were taken away, and I don't know where they are now."
"He was robbed?" Uncle Zhong raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and asked, "Where did you get robbed?"
Li Feifei replied: "On the official road from Zhenjiang Mansion to Changzhou, it was robbed at midnight when it was about midnight."
"Is that so..." Uncle Zhong leaned back in the chair thoughtfully, thinking with his eyes downcast, the eyeballs slowly moved back and forth, and finally fell on the dead leaf.While staring at the dead leaf, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully, his eyes made the dead leaf subconsciously clenched his hands, and his whole body tensed up.
Uncle Zhong squinted his eyes and smiled, turned to look at Zhan Hao, and asked, "Do you still remember the note Cen showed us earlier?"
Zhan Hao raised his eyebrows, showing a clear expression: "Ah, Luoying Mountain."
Zhong Yunde nodded in satisfaction, and leisurely reached out and tapped the table, "Luoying Mountain belongs to the Lin family, but the Lin family has no conflict with us in the cloth business. If there is, it should be the Yan family."
Qiu Langxing and Li Wei looked at each other for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly involve the Lin family?"
"Well," Uncle Zhong glanced at Zhan Hao meaningfully, then at the dead leaves, and then lowered his head to drink tea with a smile, "You have to ask your Boss Zhan about this. The romantic debts when you were young, now others are urging you Pay it back."
After hearing this, Qiu Langxing couldn't help revealing a gloating look.Zhan Hao rubbed his brows helplessly, and said, "Uncle Zhong, are you so sure that Lin Zhihuan colluded with that Yan Qi?"
"It's not just the two of them." Uncle Zhong put the teacup back calmly, raised his eyes and looked at Zhan Hao steadily, "The prefect Zhang of Suzhou, including the Shadow Gate you mentioned, should be in the same group. Some time ago Didn’t you want me to solve the incident in Qu’s Kid’s Restaurant? The magistrate didn’t give me a good look, refused to let the autopsy, and insisted that the problem was caused by the puffer fish, clamoring to close down our fishing ground.”
Uncle Zhong paused for a moment, then glanced at him and shook his head lightly, and said, "Master, don't blame me for not reminding you, Di Deqing also made moves yesterday. Those old bastards have been urging him to find an heir , or sell the property in his hand. Now that he is leaving for Suzhou, it is estimated that it will not be long before someone will send invitations to you young masters."
Zhan Hao listened with lowered eyes, raised his head for a while, spread his hands and said helplessly: "It seems that I have to go to Suzhou?"
Uncle Zhong also spread his hands: "It's just a matter of time."
"Okay then!" Zhan Hao stood up with a long sigh, blinked lazily, and said in a muffled voice: "It's really troublesome, I still have to run... just go, you pack everything today, tomorrow Let's go." After speaking, he turned around slowly and waved his hand lazily at them: "Uncle Zhong, tell them to leave, I haven't eaten breakfast yet."
After hearing this, everyone stood up and said goodbye one by one.Shi Lin ran to Li Feifei's side, held up his hand, and carefully helped him go out.When passing by the dead leaves at the door, Li Wei raised his eyes and looked at him deeply for a while.Withered Leaf had no expression on her face, she just looked at him coldly for a moment, then turned and walked out of the lobby.
Walking into Cheng Hao's room, Yu Ke just brought breakfast to the table.Seeing him, Zhan Hao greeted him with a refreshed face: "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come, come, sit down, and eat together."
Yu Ke looked at Zhan Hao sadly from the side, then walked out holding the tray without saying a word.When she passed by Dead Leaf, she gave him a hard look and said "hum".Dead Leaf felt baffled, why was she glared at by two people so early in the morning?Nagging... He faintly rolled his eyes, walked to the table and sat down.
Zhan Hao looked at him with a smile, reached out to help him fill a bowl of porridge, and put several pieces of meat in it.When Dead Leaf saw that he was serving food and vegetables for herself with his own hands, her face was a little tense.He lowered his head uncomfortably, twitched the corner of his mouth awkwardly, and said in a calm voice, "I have my own hands."
"I know." Zhan Hao replied nonchalantly, then buried his head and started eating porridge.After a while Uncle Zhong came in and saw them both eating breakfast in silence, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
These two kids... Zhong Yunde sat down with a sigh, Zhan Hao glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Uncle Zhong, you can eat too."
"What do you want to eat? I've already eaten." Uncle Zhong leaned back into his chair and watched them eat leisurely: "When Cen came over to call me, I just got up after eating. It seemed to float in front of me from the roof, and even surprised my maid, this visiting habit is really strange."
"Is that so?" Zhan Hao glanced at Dead Ye with a smile in his eyes, seeing that he was drinking porridge with his head sullen, pretending that he didn't hear what they said.Zhan Hao was a little dissatisfied that he deliberately ignored himself, and his bad intentions rose again in an instant.He turned his face away with a smile and said to Uncle Zhong: "This guy is not sensible, I will definitely teach him well in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Dead Leaf was really shocked.He put his chopsticks heavily on the bowl, raised his head and stared at Zhan Hao fiercely, as if he wanted to scold something.Zhan Hao turned his head to hold back his laughter, raised one hand to flick at him, and said in a trembling voice, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm just joking with you..."
Dead Leaf was still staring at him, her brows were almost knotted.Zhan Hao stopped laughing and turned back, clasped his hands together and made a low-browed look, and said softly, "Second Master Cen, I was wrong, don't be angry?"
Seeing them going back and forth, Uncle Zhong couldn't help but sighed with a smile, and said, "You two are really not in a hurry, the money tree has been taken away, and you are still flirting here."
"Who flirted with him?!" Dead Ye couldn't hold back his breath, and finally choked out with his eyes wide open.Uncle Zhong and Zhan Hao opened their eyes slightly, and sighed in unison: "... I forced you to say a word."
When the dead leaf heard it, she became angry immediately, and her lungs felt sore when she breathed out.He sat stiffly on the chair, gritted his teeth and suppressed for a long time, finally couldn't hold back, stood up, picked up the bowl and rushed out.Zhan Hao looked at his back cheerfully, and whispered to Uncle Zhong, "Oh, you know how to take the food away, so you don't seem too angry."
Uncle Zhong couldn't help lowering his head and laughing, and said, "Master, I really didn't realize that you have such a bad temper before. Just like Zhao'er, you play tricks on people you like." He said again: "But let me remind you first, it's okay to tease, but don't bully too much. Boy Cen's temper, maybe one day he will be really crazy, and he probably won't come back after leaving. Everything needs to be done. There is a limit, you know?"
Zhan Hao smiled leisurely: "Don't worry, I have my own considerations." After speaking, he drank all the porridge in the bowl in one go, and smiled at Uncle Zhong with his mouth pouting.After swallowing the porridge for a while, he said: "Uncle Zhong, if you have any letters in your hand, please tell me. I have grown mushrooms a while ago, and I haven't done anything."
Uncle Zhong lowered his eyes and smiled to himself for a while, then said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, take your time. It doesn't matter if you can focus on Boy Cen, I will take care of these things for you, and Uncle Zhong can handle it. "
"Kid Hao doesn't want Uncle Zhong to be tired." Zhan Hao smiled and poured a cup of tea for Zhong Yunde and pushed him over, saying, "When Father handed Uncle Zhong to me, he was still in good health. If I didn't take care of him well, he would be tired." If you are sick, how should you explain to him?"
"You kid!" Zhong Yunde laughed when he said it: "What do you mean handing me over to you? You are obviously handing over you to me! You are not big or small, you are a generation behind me, why are you being so good! "
Zhan Hao narrowed his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair and laughed leisurely.Uncle Zhong didn't know his details, so naturally he wouldn't understand the memories he had.In today's world, he can be said to be more than a dozen generations behind everyone.But when facing the people he cares about, all these experiences are nothing.There is no need to continue this kind of inheritance, and the memory of the ancestors is meaningless.The current him is just Zhan Hao, the [-]-year-old young head of the Zhan family, not the descendant of the owner of Laoshizi Island.
Now he only lives in this life, only in the present moment, and only needs to maintain a close and inseparable relationship with the people he cares about.
This is the so-called human relationship, the so-called meaning of the rest of his life.
Early the next morning, just after dawn, the Zhan family's carriage team drove out of the city.
Zhan Hao was still sitting in the biggest carriage, Quan Jing and Yu Ke were still driving the carriage outside, but there was an extra Uncle Zhong in the carriage, and a dead leaf riding a horse outside the carriage.Li Feifei, Shi Lin and Qiu Langxing sat in the carriage behind, and Buzhuang's motorcade followed closely behind.
Inside the carriage, Uncle Zhong was sitting cross-legged leisurely, stuffing shredded tobacco into the pot, lit it, and took a leisurely puff.After a while, he raised his eyes and saw Zhan Hao on the opposite side with his head tilted, his eyes half-closed, and he was looking out of the window motionlessly.With a cigarette in his mouth, Uncle Zhong leaned over to look curiously, and saw Dead Ye riding in front of him, and his thin, straight back could just be seen from the window.
There was a meaningful smile on Uncle Zhong's face, and he leaned back calmly, squinting his eyes and said sarcastically: "Don't look, the fox should blow its hair again."
Hearing his words, Zhan Hao also turned around with a smile, and said, "It's good to blow your hair, it means you're close to me."
Looking at his leisurely and calculating smile, Uncle Zhong secretly said to the dead leaf, "I wish I was lucky".The young master of his family usually looks lazy and doesn't show himself, but when he really deals with people, he never misses.He took a fancy to the second boy of the Cen family, and he might be tricked after that.
Thinking about it, Uncle Zhong took another puff of cigarette leisurely, squinted his eyes and looked Zhan Hao up and down.
Zhan Hao is wearing a dark gray satin robe today, with some bird patterns embroidered with silver thread on the edge, and the other clothes and pants are all blue gray.He was leaning against the window lazily and without losing his posture, and was looking out again at this time.Uncle Zhong noticed that he had been holding three Yuhua stones in his hand, and was playing with them in a leisurely manner, but the cigarette stick that has always been with him for this year was not by his side.Zhong Yunde folded his arms around his chest, took a puff of cigarette leisurely, and said leisurely: "Master, I asked someone to get some blood cinnabar in Dali, this time it is better than before, the color is beautiful, and the silk is long, do you want to call it?" Zheng Dong sent someone to rush over here?"
Zhan Hao turned around and smiled at him, waved his hands and said, "No, I've quit smoking now."
"Hey, have you quit smoking?" Uncle Zhong raised his eyebrows with a smirk: "I heard that girl Minwei say that Cen has a bad nose? You even gave him medicine, it seems it's not fake."
Zhan Hao wanted to take a good look at the figure of the dead leaf on the horse, but this Uncle Zhong always laughed at him half-truthfully.He had no choice but to turn around, sighed, and answered in a compromised way: "Yes, he is not used to the smell of cigarettes, so I quit. He can't smell too pungent flowers, and he doesn't like socializing with people. Let him live in the east courtyard. Uncle, I really fell this time, are you satisfied?" He said with a dumbfounding expression: "Why are you so happy when I fell?"
"That's natural." Uncle Zhong sat up straight and shook his body rather apprehensively.He looked at Zhan Hao with a picky eye and a smile, and said with a cigarette holder in his mouth, "I can't be more happy to see a proud person like you suffer. But ah..." As he spoke, he leaned forward as if calculating something He leaned over and lowered his voice and said, "If you want me to say, you are still too restrained, you look like nothing happened. Tell uncle the truth, don't you feel itchy when you look at Cen boy now?"
"Itchy heart..." Seeing him squinting, Zhan Hao also narrowed his eyes in cooperation, leaned over, and answered slowly, "Why don't I feel itchy anymore? I'm looking at him now, thinking , and put him on the bed one day, which part should I start eating?"
Speaking of this, the leisurely smile on Zhan Hao's face began to become wicked.He seemed to be turned on by Uncle Zhong, and his whole body began to wake up: "Now, I want to strip his clothes and touch his body. But the problem is that I can't eat it yet." Ah, so I can only enjoy my eyes.”
When a man likes someone, the most obvious manifestation is that he has an uncontrollable lust for that person.If you like him, you will want to get him. This getting is not only about feelings, but for men, it is about body.Let him be stained with his own scent, brand his own mark on his skin, let him go wherever he goes, others will know that this person is his own.
Only by falling in love with a person can a person change from a beast to a person.It is precisely because of falling in love with a person that a person changes from a person back to a beast.
Looking at Zhan Hao's undisguised eyes now, Zhong Yunde knew that his young master had already completed such a change for one person.He and Zhan Hao looked at each other for a long time, their eyes were calm and sinister.The shredded tobacco in the tobacco pot became fiery red under the high temperature, and the flame spread along the meridians, giving off a burnt aroma.
After a while, Zhong Yunde slowly raised his lips, smiled leisurely, and retreated leisurely.He smiled and stretched out a finger, and shook Zhan Hao meaningfully: "Don't say anything wrong, young master, don't say anything wrong."
Zhan Hao also laughed.He smiled calmly and calmly, raised his eyebrows slowly, and replied in the same tone: "Uncle Zhong, don't listen to evil, don't listen to evil."
At noon, Quan Jing raised the curtain of the carriage, turned to Zhan Hao and asked, "Master, do you want to stop for a while? We just arrive at Master Li's teahouse."
"It's probably time to arrive. Let's take a break. They're tired too." Zhan Hao and Uncle Zhong sat on one side, leaning against each other and looking at Quan Jing with a smile on their faces. A rain flower and a stone bone.Seeing Quan Jing shudder, he quickly put down the curtain, turned around and slammed the carriage.
The two horses pulling the cart neighed in dissatisfaction. Yu Ke was taken aback, raised her eyes and pouted her lips and pinched his arm: "Quan Jing! What are you doing, you idiot!"
The corners of Quan Jing's mouth twitched, and he said, "It's all right." He shook his body, jumped out of the car, walked to the front to lead the horse, and brought the team to a stop beside Li Ji Teahouse.
Boss Li is obviously an acquaintance with Zhan Hao. When he saw Quan Jing approaching at the door, he immediately greeted him warmly: "Oh, isn't this Boss Zhan! Are you going to Suzhou again today?"
Zhan Hao had just gotten off the carriage, turned around and saw dead leaves falling into the middle of the motorcade at some point, and was about to tell him to come forward when Boss Li came over to say hello.He put on a faint smile on his face, turned around and greeted people: "Boss Li, don't come here without any problems."
Boss Li is a thin, capable middle-aged man, dressed plainly.After exchanging greetings with Zhan Hao, he counted the people in the convoy and muttered softly: "Ten, 17 people... Boss Zhan, you are bringing more and more followers, that's okay, take care of me Business, haha! Sit down, sit down, it’s empty, I’ll make tea for you!" After finishing speaking, he ran into the teahouse.
Behind them, the expressionless Li Fei walked over with Shi Lin on his arm, while Qiu Langxing followed them with a mean smile.Withered Ye got off the horse and walked with a blank expression, her eyes were lowered, and she didn't look too emotional.
Zhan Hao stood at the door of the teahouse, waiting for him to come over.Li watched him standing there very much, and of course he wasn't so narcissistic that he thought Zhan Hao was waiting for him, but he still couldn't help it, and said something to Zhan Hao when he entered the door: "Why don't you go in and sit down?"
Zhan Hao gave him a smile in a good mood, pointed at the dead leaves and said, "I'll wait for my guard."
Dead Ye happened to walk a zhang behind, and when she heard this, she gave him a silent look.
Zhan Hao turned his head and smiled at him, saw him approaching, and said in a low voice: "I'm still thinking about the kitten, I said bring it together, but you don't want to."
With half of his face darkened, Dead Leaf raised his head and glared at him angrily: "Who is thinking about that cat?! I'm annoyed before it's too late!"
"Oh..." Zhan Hao had a smile in his eyes, and made an expression of sudden understanding, "Yes, the guard is so annoying, I have to leave this morning and I haven't seen anyone yet, and I need to remind you. What did I do? What happened, in the end, he sat on the edge of the bed and teased the cat, forgetting the time!"
"Funny...!" Withered Ye's eyes were so bloodshot that they were about to come out, but Zhan had no choice but to choke to death.He was hugging Xiao Jiaoer this morning, that's right, indeed... It took a long time to go this time, and when he comes back, Xiao Jiaoer probably won't know him anymore.Recalling the scene this morning, Dead Leaf couldn't help but feel guilty.Under Zhan Hao's penetrating gaze, he had no choice but to give the white family an exasperated look, and then rushed into the teahouse with a dark face.
After drinking tea, after noon, Zhan Hao guessed that everyone had rested, so he said he was leaving.When he went outside and was about to get into the carriage, he watched the dead leaves turn on the horse without saying a word in the distance, and stood alone at the back, and his heart was tugged at that moment.Uncle Zhong passed by him and was about to get into the carriage when he saw him in a daze.Following his line of sight, he saw the lonely figure of withered leaves in the farthest distance.
Uncle Zhong patted Zhan Hao's back knowingly, and said softly, "If you feel sorry for him, just call him over. The carriage is not crowded." After speaking, he got into the carriage with a look of disgust.Zhan Hao was a little amused by what he said, but he was actually worried about Dead Leaf's personality, and he was not sure whether he would accept his kindness or not.But after thinking about it, if I let him go like this, I am afraid that I will never be able to catch up with this awkward and withdrawn guy in my life.
In the end, he chuckled self-deprecatingly, raised his hand and waved at the dead leaves from a distance.
Seeing him, Dead Leaf frowned faintly and hesitated for a while, and finally trotted over on horseback.Zhan Hao saw that his face was sullen and expressionless, and his hair fluttered in the wind when he ran towards him.On the tree-lined road, the sunlight leaked from the gaps between the leaves, passing over his body piece by piece, illuminating his flying hair golden yellow.At that moment, Zhan Hao secretly took a deep breath, and could not help but narrow his eyes.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, this sentence is really good.Now Zhan Hao thinks that his fox boy is very handsome, he is so good-looking that he can overwhelm the country and the city!This is still wearing a mask, if he takes off that obtrusive mask to reveal tattoos and burn scars, it will be even more dragging!
So, when Dead Leaf ran up to him on horseback, Zhan Hao still stared at him with his burning eyes.Dead Leaf frowned and looked at him for a while, thinking what's wrong with this guy, he asked me to come over and didn't speak!She gave him a blank look for a while, turned around and rode the horse to go, but Zhan Hao grabbed his wrist unexpectedly.
Withered Leaf turned her head to stare at him, and said coldly, "What are you doing?!"
Zhan Hao had a smile on his face: "Hey, you don't like riding horses, do you? Would you like to take a carriage with me?"
Withered Ye looked at him speechlessly, while Zhan Hao smiled brighter and brighter.On the side, Quan Jing and Yu Ke were both standing, one cheek twitching, the other full of grievances and resentment.With a dark face, Dead Ye looked at Zhan Hao, then at Quan Jing and Yu Ke, then resolutely pulled out her hand, turned her horse's head, and ran back without looking back.
Zhan Hao was speechless and stood silently for a while, then turned his head to look at Quan Jing and Yu Ke expressionlessly.The two were seen shuddering, their backs shivering, and a sense of panic arose in their hearts.But Zhan Hao just stared at them silently for a while, then lifted the curtain and got into the carriage without saying a word.
Quan Jing: "..."
Yuke: "..."
Scared to death ah ah ah ah ah!
At [-] o'clock in the evening, a group of people arrived in Wuxi.
There is a Zhou mansion in Wuxi, with three gates and six courtyards, which occupies a large area.The owner's family was a well-known rich man in Suzhou and Hangzhou before, but later his family fell into poverty, and his descendants turned the house into an inn.The businessmen around Wuxi come and go, and they all love to live in this week's mansion. Not to mention the beautiful environment, the host's family has come into contact with many wealthy businessmen.Just chat a few words, maybe you can find a business opportunity.
Zhan Hao is one of the regular customers, and he often travels between Changzhou and Suzhou. The boss even reserved a room for him that week.It's just that this time he brought a little more people, 17 people, and there were only eight rooms left in the inn.Excluding his special room, there are only seven rooms.
When Zhan Hao heard the situation, he immediately made a small calculation in his heart: In this case, my family, Cen Xiaobie, will definitely have to squeeze into a room with someone else, so why not just drag him to my place.Thinking about it, he was ready to talk and try to persuade the dead leaves, but the guys in the cloth shop were too knowledgeable about current affairs!There were seven rooms, but those nine people only occupied two rooms!It's fine to just lay the floor, don't be busy, don't be busy...don't be busy, sir!Zhan Hao thought, I am not busy, what are you busy with?
As a result, among the remaining five rooms, Li Feifei and Shi Lin share one room, Qiu Langxing shares room with Quan Jing, and Uncle Yuke and Zhong Shu share one room with Dead Ye.Zhan Hao listened to the assignment, and silently beat Li Fei several times in his heart: Look at the good guy you taught!
Uncle Zhong's room is right next to Zhan Hao's room, in a small yard, and the other people's rooms are all around, and Dead Ye's room is just opposite.
...So when Uncle Zhong came to Zhan Hao with a jug of wine, he saw him sitting on the seat by the window, staring at the opposite room thoughtfully.
Uncle Zhong walked up behind him and also took a look there.In the yellowish light, the figure of the dead leaf was reflected on the opposite window, and it was also sitting by the window, motionless, probably in a daze.Zhong Yunde stared silently for a while, then reached out and patted Zhan Hao's shoulder, and said, "If you want someone, just go to him, what's so difficult about talking to him?"
Zhan Hao quietly turned his face to look at him, then turned back after a while, and said, "I'm waiting for him to take a bath."
After hearing this, Zhong Yunde sat down and put his hands on his forehead helplessly, and said, "What if he doesn't take a bath today?"
Zhan Hao shook his head calmly, and said softly: "This fox can't stand the smell of sweat. He must take a bath after riding a horse in the sun for a day today." Zhong Yunde didn't know whether to praise him for being brilliant, or call him bad.He sighed helplessly, and finally had no choice but to hold the small flagon and pour himself a drink.Zhan Hao turned his face to see the wine, silently picked up a glass and pushed it over.Zhong Yunde glanced up at him, shook his head amusingly, and poured wine for him: "You boy, you've been calculating like this all day long, are you really treating me like a monkey?"
Quietly watching the wine glass being filled, Zhan Hao picked it up and took a sip, and said slowly: "I can't help it, the fox is suspicious, I can only lure the enemy in, and when he approaches my lair, I will drag him in and eat him."
"Okay, okay, you have your own plans, and I don't have to worry about you. But..." Uncle Zhong drank a big sip of wine, sighed comfortably, then raised his head and stared straight at Zhan Hao, "You As I told you earlier, about Fang Qiu, your elder brother Zheng just sent me a letter. Well, Fang Qiu's mother——Ma Qingyun, has been placed under house arrest. Also, in the Lin Mansion, the backyard backer In that field, a large field of poppies and marijuana was planted."
Zhan Hao listened, his eyebrows raised faintly: "Marijuana, poppy?"
How have these things been showing up so often lately?First the dead leaves were poisoned, and now... he thought to himself, his eyes narrowed slowly.After a while, he turned his face to look at Zhong Yunde, and said softly: "Uncle Zhong, after the Double Ninth Festival five years ago, I remember that Furong Building just opened at that time, and you often consulted with me about purchasing goods. Do you remember?" Remember, Ma Qingyun came to look for me one night?"
"After the Double Ninth Festival?" Zhong Yunde frowned, showing a look of deep thought.After a while, he raised his eyebrows suddenly, as if remembering something, he said: "Is it that day? As soon as I walked to the street at the door, I saw the Ma family's sedan chair rushing back. That day, the Qu family and Yan The two boys at home were also there, and when I entered the lobby, Boy Yan was still laughing disgustingly, and I asked him what he was laughing at."
"Yan Peng?" Zhan Hao narrowed his eyes in doubt: "They were there that day?"
After hearing his vague words, Zhong Yunde felt something was wrong in his heart: "Master, what happened that day?"
"It's not a big deal," Zhan Hao lowered his head, frowning slightly, "Ma Qingyun came here before and said Fang Qiu was my son. She also said that she came to give me a nap after the Double Ninth Festival five years ago. I got drugged. But according to what you said, Yan Peng and Xiao Lian were there that day... I don’t quite remember, but if they really got drugged, it’s impossible for the two of them to ignore it?”
Hearing Zhan Hao's words, Zhong Yunde was dumbfounded for a while, and then somehow, his expression became a little regretful: "I hope Fang Qiu is your son..."
Zhan Hao was still thinking about it, but Uncle Zhong muttered these words unexpectedly, and he almost choked on his saliva: "Uncle Zhong, if Fang Qiu is my son, how will I explain to that fox in the future?"
"Let's just say that you are young and frivolous, and you don't understand for a while." Uncle Zhong groaned and drank half a pot of wine after a while.Zhan Hao smiled helplessly, and said to himself, Uncle Zhong, you don't know my details, but he, Cen Bie, knows everything.How can a person who has memories of more than ten lifetimes from birth be young and frivolous?
At this time, Yunde was holding the jug and turned his head to look out. After a while, his half-closed eyes suddenly stared, he reached out and patted Zhan Hao on the shoulder, and shouted in a low voice: "Someone sent a bathtub into Cen's room." Already!"
When Zhan Hao heard this, he quickly turned his head to look, and saw two servants walking into the room carrying a large bucket in a "hangchihangchi".The door of Dead Leaf's room was open, and he stood quietly by the door with no expression on his face.
"You really hit the spot..." Uncle Zhong sat down with a smile, drank the last bit of wine in the small flagon, and then stood up, "I should go back to sleep too, you should lie in ambush He." He stood on the spot and straightened the hem of his clothes, then remembered something, and said, "Zheng Dong and Chonglian are helping to watch over the Changzhou mansion, there should be no big trouble, if not, there will be more Your friends from all corners of the country are helping. On the Suzhou side, you have to pay close attention, young master."
"Naturally." Zhan Hao also stood up, with his hands behind his back, with a calm smile on his face, "Uncle Zhong needs to rest well when he goes back. I still have to rely on your favor for Mr. Di." As he said that, Young Master Zhan showed some shrewd emotion in his eyes.
Zhong Yunde was about to go out, when he heard his words, his body froze for a moment.He hesitated for a while, then raised his head, and saw Zhan Hao's leisurely eyes that meant something... Zhong Yunde froze for a while, and finally smiled resignedly and sighed: "Hey, you boy, you really are..." He spoke halfway, but didn't continue, just shook his head helplessly, and walked out with his hands waved.
Zhan Hao smiled and sent him to the door, he saw Uncle Zhong enter the door, and then turned his eyes to the room of Dead Leaf.In the dim light, the figure of the little fox bathing was blocked by the screen in the room, so he couldn't see it from the window.Thinking of that night, the slightly warm touch of the skin of the dead leaves, the moist and soft tongue in his mouth, his slender and lean body, the light-colored nipples, and the flat lower abdomen——
Hiss... Zhan Hao squinted his eyes, and felt his body faintly stir.
In the room, behind the screen, the dead leaves are quietly soaking in the water, and the consciousness floats erratically with the slightly swaying waves of warm water.
For some reason, he felt very sleepy now, and his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and they were falling down forcefully.Withered Ye lazily scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face, carelessly washing his sweaty left face.The finely undulating scars on the skin of the face twitched and itched under the stimulation of hot water, as if thousands of ants were crawling.
It's disgusting, but at least it's better than being in the sun this afternoon.
Withered Ye covered her face and frowned, was silent for a while, then suddenly let out an annoyed "hum".
In the afternoon, he was almost under the scorching sun, and was scorched by the sun while bumping on horseback.It's so hot that the parts of the body that are in contact with the clothing, or the parts exposed to the outside, are extremely hot.The scar on his chest was aching, and the salty sweat was stained in the tattoo, and the pain under the scar was excruciating from the bite, which made him almost unbearable, and wanted to stretch out his hand and scratch it hard!The pain on the left side of the face covered by the leather mask was unbearable...
So, summer is the most annoying thing, especially running around in the sun!Not to mention the heat, but also to sweat!It would be nice if I took the carriage with that bastard in the afternoon, at least I wouldn't get the sun...
With a dark face, the dead leaves were depressed thinking about Zhan Hao's invitation when they set off at noon, complaining in their hearts, and silently blamed Quan Jing and Yu Ke who were standing beside them at that time.It's good that these two people weren't there at the time, staring at them with such wide eyes, what do you want me to... Bah!I'm not embarrassed!
Suddenly realizing the direction of his thoughts, Dead Leaf glared, then cut off the thought fiercely, and couldn't help feeling annoyed and ashamed.He gritted his teeth and patted the edge of the bucket, and sat in the water feeling annoyed. After a long while, his emotions gradually calmed down.With a stinky face, he stood up while cursing in a low voice, and when he was about to step out of the bathtub, there was a knock on the door.
Dead Leaf was taken aback for a moment, then her body tensed reflexively, and she frowned and retreated into the water: "Who?"
Zhan Hao's slow and calm voice came from outside the door: "Me."
Who knows who you are? !Dead Leaf heard that the person outside the door was Zhan Hao, but she couldn't help but curse angrily in her heart.Zhan Hao's voice is low and magnetic, and ordinary people will never forget it after hearing it once, but it's a pity that now, hearing his unhurried tone, Dead Leaf only feels unreasonable anger in his heart.
"Why are you here?" Withered Leaf turned her face and stared in the direction of the door, her tone was very impatient.Zhan Hao laughed softly outside the door for a while, and replied: "Uncle Zhong told me just now that Fang Qiu's matter has made a little progress, and I wanted to report to you."
Dead Leaf frowned, and then slowly relaxed her body: "Just wait a moment." He said, stood up and stepped out of the bathtub, stood behind the screen, pulled out a towel and began to wipe his hair.Zhan Hao stood quietly at the door, naturally he heard these noises.He listened for a while, then slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and pushed open the door latch with a blade of grass.
With a "click", the dead leaf's movements stopped.He knew that Zhan Hao must have come in, and he didn't think a small latch could stop Zhan Hao... He was just wondering, why didn't Zhan Hao come in later?Isn't he always unhurried, why is he impatient now?
Withered Ye frowned, his movements froze, and through the translucent silk screen, he saw a vague figure walking in slowly, and then closed the door soundlessly.Dead Leaf doesn't know what's wrong with him, he feels a little inexplicably tense and defensive, in short, his whole body is tense - although he doesn't think Zhan Hao will do anything to him, after all, he doesn't have what Zhan Hao needs on him.
On the other side of the screen, the figure was slowly walking in, step by step into the inner room.Withered Ye stared at him, lowered her voice and asked, "Zhan Hao, what are you doing here?"
