He Qixiu - this person is Hua Yansui?
Lying on a recline, with his head half propped up, a pair of phoenix eyes squinted at Chi Heng.
And the emerald that Chi Heng admired was the biggest one hanging on his chest.Chi Heng was dumbfounded.
He was wrong.
I only saw jewels everywhere, but I couldn't tell there was a person among the jewels.
What does Hua Yansui look like?
Can't see clearly.Because there were several circles of pearls and jade hanging around his neck, which shone brightly and blurred the outline of his face.
Hua Yansui was wearing a royal blue brocade shirt, the color was shining and flowing, and the sleeves were embroidered with golden curly patterns, which was unparalleled in luxury.The hand rested on the back of the couch, revealing a part of the wrist, and several circles of rare jasper were wrapped around the wrist, which was very bright, very eye-catching, very fancy, so fancy that it made the whole Chunmanlou pale in comparison.Well, it's not just Chunmanlou, I'm afraid that all the brothels in Yizhou City can't compare to his fancy.
Hua Yansui sat up straight slowly, and all the pearls and jades were shining again.
Chi Heng blinked, his pupils were pierced by the flickering light, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Huayan got off the jade bed, and the pearls and jade rings all over her body jingled, and walked towards Chi Heng, her phoenix eyes curled up: "You are from Yan Luan? Why doesn't he come by himself?"
"Lang, Lang will be busy...in Yuanzhou..." Chi Heng handed the letter to Hua Yansui.
It was also Hua Yansui who asked questions, Chi Heng came back to his senses, put away his stupid expression, at such a close distance, he finally saw Hua Yansui clearly for the first time: he is handsome, handsome, imposing, It can also support this body full of pearls and jade.While answering, he couldn't help thinking: It's enough to hang it all over his head and neck, why do he have to wrap a few strings around his waist and feet? Chi Heng is so tired for him.
Probably because she has long been used to the 'amazing' gazes of others, Hua Yansui didn't care about Chi Heng's faux pas just now.
Open the letter, ten lines at a glance.
There were quite a lot of pages in the letter, Hua Yansui showed disappointment, and murmured complainingly: "It's good to see you, why did you send a small soldier here, really..."
"Yuanzhou has a lot of waste to do, and it's the end of the year, and there are many things. I am specially ordered to send this letter to Mr. Hua. General Lang will visit him next year." Chi Heng replied respectfully.Hua Yan followed his family as a businessman, and he had no official title or title. Others called him Baisi Hua Jun. As time passed, Hua Jun became his respectful name, and Hua Yan followed him by default.
"Next year next year will be next year."
Hua Yansui was full of displeasure, and walked a few steps outside the pavilion.
Chi Heng hurriedly followed, peeking over, and if he really walked around, it was clearly a jewelry shelf.Hua Yansui's head was also covered with pearls and jade, covering most of the long hair, and there were two loose strands at the side of the temple, which were casual and delicate, and the ends were slightly rolled up, extraordinarily black, with a kind of wet freshness.
Chi Heng couldn't help thinking: If he only hangs one string, it's still pretty good.
Seems to understand why every time Yan Luan mentions Hua Yan Sui, there is always a faint smile on the corner of Yan Luan's mouth.Walking through the streets and alleys of the capital with such a jewelry shelf, there must be crowds. I don't know if Yan Luan was under a lot of pressure at that time.
"You little soldier is interesting." Hua Yansui suddenly glanced at him and smiled.
Chi Heng didn't know why.
He felt that he was stupid enough today. When he entered Huage, his eyes were so shocked that he kept staring at the huge emerald, but he didn't notice Mr. Hua himself.Just now I thought I was looking at it secretly, but it turned out to be discovered by others.Would this be interesting? Hua Yansui is indeed unusual.
"You've been looking at me all the time, did you fancy a string of pearls and jade, just take it if you like it." Hua Yansui said lavishly.
Chi Heng was dumbfounded.
Can be hung on the body, every string of pearls and jade is priceless, such a waste of money is really impressive, Chi Heng replied respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Hua, although the pearls and jades are bright, they are only because they are on Mrs. Hua, Chi Heng is rude gone."
Hua Yansui immediately smiled happily: "There is no need to be rude here, we are busy celebrating the New Year, Huazhou has no strangers for half a month, I will take you away."
"Thank you, Mr. Hua."
Hua Yansui is the same as Yan Luan, both 23 and [-] years old.Chi Heng walked all the way, but he didn't see a single maid or servant.Thinking about Huayan staying alone in the lonely Huazhou, although it is warm like spring, and there is no one to talk to, I am afraid that it is quite boring.
After a walk, the warm wind blows up, and Huayan pointed to the surrounding lakes and said: "This lake is called Huahu. It was dug out a hundred years ago, and it is no different from ordinary lakes. Huazhou is very strange. It is like a fire under the ground. It’s warm and spring-like all year round.”
There is a small boat tied to the shore of the lake beside the island, it is very delicate, and it is also adorned with a circle of shining pearls and jade.
Hua Yansui was very interested: "Can you row a boat?"
Chi Heng shook his head honestly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to row a boat, you don't need to row this boat, you just need to step here." Hua Yansui pointed to a step on the bow of the boat.
Chi Heng was very curious.
Not only how the boat was made, but as long as he kept stepping on it, the boat swam along the lake.It was warm on the island and cold on the lake. When the wind blew, his mind cleared up. Chi Heng asked: "Mr. Hua, how did you and our Lang Jiang meet?"
Yan Luan came to Yizhou and Yuanzhou this year.I have been in the capital or the border before.
Huayan leaned against the stern of the boat, with his hands on the edge of the boat: "The year before last, when I went to the capital, I met a thief. He saw him and beat the thief hard, and we got to know each other." It's heavy, so don't recruit thieves.
"Long will always be good at it."
"I never like to go out. That time, it was the shadow guards who made a mistake because of their negligence. Fortunately, I met you General Lang. I called him several times, but I always said that there is no time. I can't bring him here, can I? Capital city It is far away from Yizhou, and it takes half a month to send a letter, and it has been delayed until now."
An understatement, but Chi Heng felt that he was avoiding the important point.
Yan Luan obviously wanted to win him over, it's impossible for Hua Yansui not to know.Since the friendship between the two is so good, why didn't Yan Luan come to visit directly? If the capital is far away, if it is in Yuanzhou City, it will take four or five days for a fast horse.
Hua Yansui stopped talking and looked at the vast lake with deep eyes.
Deeper than that emerald.
The boat was fluttering, maybe his hands were tired, Hua Yansui lazily stretched his waist, and with a flick of his hand, he saw a string of pearls flying out from his wrist, fell into the water, and heard a splash , disappeared.
Chi Heng quickly stopped.
The boat stopped, and the breeze blew her curly hair, but Hua Yansui waved her hand: "It's gone, it's gone, let's go."
Sure enough, it is unusual to "regard precious jade like dung", but since you don't cherish it, why do you still hang it all over your neck?The small boat soon arrived at the lakeside, Hua Yan got up and got off the boat leisurely, but vaguely glanced at the place where the pearl and jade had just dropped.
49. Entering V·First Change
【49】
The boat soon arrived at the lakeside, Huayan got up and got off the boat leisurely, but looked at the place where the pearls and jade fell, and walked away.
There is a dense forest beside the lake, with tall trees and green leaves, revealing a corner of the attic.
As soon as I got off the boat, I could smell the strong fragrance.
It's not the scent of flowers, not the scent of powder, but the scent of food and cakes, Chi Heng's index finger twitched.Hua Yan looked up and sighed: "I don't want people to surround me when I think about it, and I don't see anyone when I think about it. Chi Heng, you wait here first."
Seeing him turn into the forest, Chi Heng looked at the lake water, cold and calm.
Thinking of Huayan, he glanced at it with nostalgia.
Also remembering what Yan Luan said, Chi Heng quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the lake seeing no one around.The lake water is so cool, it was bitingly cold, Chi Heng's feet almost cramp in an instant, and he groped to the place just now based on his memory.
He plunged down and held his breath. Although it is an artificial lake, it is not shallow.
I didn't find it. Although the jewelry is heavy, it won't swim away even if it falls.But Chi Heng's eyes couldn't see clearly whether it sank to the bottom of the lake, and he groped for a while, but couldn't find it.Unable to hold back anymore, he swam up to catch his breath, and when the wind blew, his eyebrows trembled.Another fierce plunge down, continue to search.
He didn't find the jewelry, but found a jade bracelet instead.
It took more than half an hour to go up like this, and I didn't feel cold when I swam up to breathe.Chi Heng was not discouraged, and dived again and again.The hard work paid off, and when the last slam was pierced, I finally touched the string of warm pearls.
Holding it, Chi Heng got out of the lake and wiped his face.
Swimming to the shore quickly, putting on his clothes, his hair was wet and dripping, and the wind blew it into ice slag.
Holding the bead in one hand, Chi Heng brushed his hair with the other, and looked up. After waiting for a while, he wondered why Hua Yansui hadn't come back yet.Seeing a bright light in the forest, Huayan turned out and looked at him with a smile.
Chi Heng handed over the jade string and bracelet.
Hua Yansui casually wrapped the jade string back around her wrist: "I have already said, it's not something important, and I spent a long time looking for it in the lake. It's a cold day, and it's not good if you catch the wind and cold. I'll let you guys know I thought I was harsh on you."
"Mr. Hua, you're being polite." Seeing that he didn't care, Chi Heng was unavoidably frustrated, bowed his head and flicked his short hair a few times.
Hua Yansui held up the bracelet and looked at it. Under the sunlight, it shone like new: "Ah, this is my mother's bracelet. It fell in the lake that year. I have been looking for it for a long time. I never thought I could find it again..." When he came down, Xu was thinking about others when he saw things, with a bit of sadness on his face.
After all, put the bracelet on the other hand.
Looking at both of his hands, the emerald and agate jewels are gradually stacked down, compared to the wrists, which are really a bit horrible, so Chi Heng moved his eyes away.
The small building hidden in the dense forest is indeed a dining room.
As soon as you enter the building, you can't talk about the luxury of the furniture, the luxury of the cloth decorations, and the row of maids standing there, all of whom are rich and rich.Just say that on the table, it is amazing. There are hundreds of small plates, which are very delicate. There are pastries, delicacies, mountain delicacies, and seafood in the plates. They are all arranged in round or square shapes. Each ruler has its own flavor.
There are fruits and vegetables in four seasons, common peaches, plums, dates, apricots, longan and lychees, etc., and grapes and crystal fruits that are not common, and some of them are strange shapes, which Chi Heng has never seen before.
At the huge table, just the two of them sat.
Chi Heng is not picky about food, but he eats everything in front of him.Or crisp or tender, articulate, very delicious.After swimming for most of the day, he was so hungry that he ate hard, and within a short time, he wiped out all the delicious food on the plate in front of him.
Seeing him eating with gusto, Hua Yan was in a happy mood, and signaled the maid to remove all the empty plates and serve new dishes.
Chi Heng ate a meal, but found that the more he ate, the more dishes he ate. He didn't know how many dishes he ate, but he stopped when he felt that his stomach was full.
"I am full?"
Chi Heng nodded, he had never been full, never had a good time, to be honest, he ate some dishes without tasting the taste, he just thought it was extremely delicious, I am afraid that in this life, no matter how unpalatable it is It's a luxury meal.
Hua Yansui nodded in satisfaction, and after removing the dishes, asked him how long he had been with Yan Luan?Usually do something like that.
Hearing that he knows how to wield a sword, Hua Yansui was full of interest: "I have a shadow guard who is also used to wielding a sword. I don't know which of you is better." After saying that, he called the shadow guard out.The shadow guard is very calm, with a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye.The two found an open space and made gestures.Chi Heng's saber technique was aggressive, after a hundred rounds, he knocked down the shadow guard.
Hua Yansui looked at the shadow guard with dissatisfaction: "I was picked on so easily, how dare I go out in the future?"
Chi Heng quickly explained: "The shadow guard's sword technique is the sword technique of protecting people, focusing on how to protect people from being hurt, the victory lies in defense, and the victory lies in skill; , but it cannot protect people, but it is easy to hurt the people it protects.”
"Is there such a reason?"
"Exactly. The Shadow Guard's saber technique is the best saber technique Chi Heng has ever seen."
"That's right, I've picked the best ones, and I haven't made any mistakes." Hua Yansui pondered for a while, "Yan Luan's ability is high, and you are not bad either. If you can be my guard, you can barely do it." of."
Chi Heng laughed horribly, thinking that it must not be done, no one can look down on the jewelry shelf under the watchful eyes of everyone.
How can there be a complete and comprehensive guard in the world, unless it is not coveted.
Fortunately, Hua Yan casually talked about it.
After being settled in a small building, Hua Yan was told to settle in for two days first, he had to reply carefully, and call him again after two days.Chi Heng was a guest at the Huafu, serving delicious food and drinks, whatever he could think of.Chi Heng walked around the Huafu, and Zuoyue found that it was magnificent and luxurious, with countless scenery, but there were a little less people.
Hua Yan is the shadow guard casually, probably because she doesn't like guards walking around to be an eyesore, don't look at the empty space, maybe it's hidden somewhere.
For example, I found one on a tree just now, with similar clothes and colors, so I usually don't notice it.
For several days in a row, Chi Heng never saw Hua Yansui again.
The more nobody there was, the quieter it was, and the more impossible to know the details. On the fourth day, that was the morning of New Year's Eve, Chi Heng pushed open the door and was almost shocked. The scenery changed overnight.Lanterns are hung on the trees, corridors, and walls in front of you. Although they are all bright red, they have different shapes. There are palace lanterns, gauze lanterns, and revolving lanterns. The patterns painted on them are even more colorful. .It's a pity that the grandeur is enough, and the popularity is not at all. There is only Chi Heng in the whole garden.
At night on New Year's Eve, the lights are all lit up, which is very gorgeous.
But the yard was still deserted.
About midnight, suddenly there were popping, popping, popping sounds everywhere, the sky was filled with fireworks, and thousands of trees fell from the sky, the splendor was indescribable.After leaving it for a long time, until Chi Heng's neck became sore, the noise gradually stopped.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the colorful lanterns in Huafu are hung high, and there is no one to appreciate them under the lights.On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the guards gave Chi Heng a big red envelope, the new year is a joy, and everyone has a share.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Chi Heng Meimei slept all day.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he couldn't sleep.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Chi Heng finally found Hua Yansui.Under a colorful lantern, Hua Yan Sui is looking up, after grooming, Hua Yan Sui's curly hair is meticulous.Seeing Chi Heng coming, he asked him: "How is it in this mansion? Isn't it beautiful? Is it majestic? I heard that the colorful lanterns in Yizhou City are also good. I wonder how it compares to Baisi?"
"There are many people in Yizhou City, and there are many lights in Baisi Town." Chi Heng replied, thinking that Baisi is indeed the richest of the rich.
"There are too many people, it's not good." Hua Yansui frowned.
Chi Heng was very confused. He felt that Hua Yan followed this style of behavior and should like the attention of many people.
"When I was young, I loved going to the east of Baisi Town to watch the lanterns. The whole long street was full of lanterns. It was as beautiful as it could be. From the fifth o'clock in the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it has been going on for more than ten years without knowing it. .” The aftertaste is very sweet.
It sounds like he should only have a few hours of memory.
Well, there are probably more lanterns hanging in Huafu than in the entire Baisi Town, but this can't make up for Hua Yansui's desire for Baisi Chang's lanterns.Chi Heng thought, could it be true that, as he said, because of various reasons, "I seldom go out", so even watching lanterns is a luxury?
"If Mr. Hua wants to see, Chi Heng can guard the left and right."
Chi Heng is really embarrassed to say directly that he is about to get sick in Huafu, the huge mansion is always empty, the only thing he looks forward to every day is to eat, and eat a big table.
Huayan followed but smiled and said nothing.
Chi Heng approached and picked up a small lantern: "It's a pity that it's not cold enough here, if there is an ice lantern in the yard, it would be very beautiful?"
"Ice lamp?"
In Huazhou, which has always been warm, Hua Yansui may not know what the real cold is. Chi Heng smiled and gestured: "I used to be at home, when the coldest winter months were the coldest, I used two buckets of different sizes to cover them together. Put it on the water and put it outside the house. After it freezes, take out the bucket, leaving only an ice cube with a hollow in the middle. Light a lamp in the ice, which is very beautiful. One year I filled the whole yard with ice lamps. "Although the faces of the parents have been blurred, the orange ice lanterns in the yard are deeply imprinted.
Hua Yansui raised the corners of her mouth: "Although I haven't seen it before, it's quite interesting to think about it. It must be a lot of effort."
"It's just a bit of physical effort. In fact, no matter how many tricks there are, the lamp is still a lamp, and there are no flowers. The most beautiful thing to see a lantern is a person. Thinking about the fiery tree, silver flower, fish and dragon dance on the street, someone needs to shuttle through the lamp. It’s interesting. Also, when watching the lanterns, there are a lot of delicious food.” Chi Heng smiled, and added, “I’m afraid the dim sum at the small stalls are far inferior to the taste of Huafu, but it’s better because there are so many people crowded together. , Waiting, watching, it will be interesting."
"If you want to see it, go and see it."
"Mr. Hua, won't you go?"
"I seldom go out." Hua Yan followed the phoenix eyes, "Furthermore, how do you protect me? Are you carrying a big knife? What if you turn around and I get lost? "
Chi Heng froze for a moment, his heart ached, his eyes were a little blurred, and he forced a smile and said, "Are you lost? Hua Jun must be lost in Baisi Town, right? If Hua Jun is still not at ease, Chi Heng can pull you , we will not get lost."
Huayan laughs loudly.
The laughter shook the lantern.
"Hahaha, it's really interesting. Last time, Yan Luan said the same thing, and asked me to take off all the jewels and pretend to be a woman." Hua Yansui laughed heartily, and said it generously, without any shame Or embarrassment, a sweetness that can be recalled from the past.
"Huh?" Chi Heng jumped three feet high, "You two are walking around the capital hand in hand?"
50. Entering V·Second Change
【Fifty】
"That's not true, it's just a little closer. Yan Luan is better than you. He can make others dare not approach him, so there is no need to be on guard." Hua Yansui said without hesitation, "It's not about bragging, it's just pretending to be a woman , this gentleman is also the best in the capital, passers-by along the way can only look at it from a distance, quite envious."
Chi Heng almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
No matter how he dresses up, Hua Yansui is also a majestic man, who has seen a woman with such a physique?Even if you only look at the face, the nose is hanging and the outline is deep, you can only see it as a woman unless you are blind, so you can't help but tease: "How does Mr. Hua know that he is not looking at our generals?"
Hua Yansui immediately replied arrogantly: "That is natural, I have compared with him."
"what?"
When asked again, Hua Yan pursed her lips and smiled and did not continue.
Chi Hengyao thought that the goose dressed in royal blue and the Yan Luan in red would swagger through the market, and there must be no grass growing in the place where they pass.I really want to know what happened at that time, forget it, it’s the same when I ask General Lang another day, it’s still important to get down to business right now, so he slammed up and mentioned the matter of replying to the letter.
"What's the rush? The Huafu has everything you need. What's the point of going to Yuanzhou?"
Chi Heng blurted out: "I want to enjoy the fifteen lanterns with General Lang."
"You want to see lanterns that much?"
"I want to watch it with General Lang. After the fifteenth day, King Yan's army will go south to attack Stone Prefecture. By then, we may not be able to be with General Lang again." Chi Heng repeated 'together' heavily.
Hua Yan followed with a troubled expression: "It's really lively, I can let a few shadow guards come with you."
Chi Heng shook his head.
After thinking for a while, Hua Yansui suddenly realized: "Could it be that you want to watch it with me? No, the more lively it is, the less I can go out, so as not to cause trouble."
The ghosts and gods go out in a lot of wind and rain, and they really are people. Chi Heng twitched the corners of his mouth and blurted out: "Mr. Hua, if you don't want to cause trouble, you just need to take off all the pearls and jade. Besides, your clothes are very beautiful." , just one gem is enough.”
Hua Yansui shook his head decisively: "No, it's too cold, it's a joke."
Chi Heng smiled: "If Mr. Hua doesn't mind, you can give it a try." Seeing that Hua Yan was noncommittal, he stepped forward to carefully remove all the jewels from his head and body, piled them aside, and immediately became much cleaner.Wearing royal blue clothes, extremely gorgeous, with a sapphire on the waist, shining dazzlingly.
Huayan's beauty is extraordinary, and her magnificence remains undiminished.
Unexpectedly, Hua Yan looked at the mirror, and immediately leaned over to pick up the pearl: "It's ugly."
Chi Heng pressed his hand, very sincerely and seriously: "This is very good, and another string is redundant. Mr. Hua knows a saying: the moon is bright when the stars are few, and the stars are many when the moon is dark. You can only choose between the two." [-]. Jewelry is like a star, and Mr. Hua is like the moon, how can the pearl and jade take away the glory of Mr. Hua.”
Hua Yan rejoiced at his metaphor, and said proudly, "No wonder I couldn't move my eyes when I first saw him that day. Is it because I was shocked by my majesty's beauty?"
Chi Heng held back his burst of laughter and nodded.
Hua Yan raised her phoenix eyes: "Really? Doesn't it look right?"
Chi Heng hurriedly changed the topic: "Mr. Hua, if you really want to see Baisi's lantern, Chi Heng can guard the left and right."
After repeating it back and forth several times, Chi Heng realized it with affection, and was even agitated.In the end, it was no match for her childhood memories, so Hua Yan tidied it up with enthusiasm, hung up the jewels, recruited all the shadow guards, and gave orders.Only then did he and Chi Heng go out in a carriage, and the carriage was naturally inexhaustibly ornate.
The carriages are all on the road, and they can't get close to the lanterns.
The crowd also knew that it was Huafu's carriage, and they all moved away.
This is also called appreciating lanterns?Looking at Hua Yansui who was watching with gusto through the curtain, Chi Heng was depressed: "Mr. Hua, let's go down and have a look." He really wasn't worried, because the shadow guards in Hua Mansion were not just decorations, and Hua Yansui was afraid. It comes from the heart.
Hua Yansui shook his head decisively.
When he shook, the pearls and jades on his head jingled.Chi Heng stretched out his hand, and quickly took off the peacock jewels on his temples, and the curly hair fell down in an instant.
Hua Yansui was furious.
"Mr. Hua's hair is also pretty. It's rare to see such natural curly hair. It's black and dense. Why should it be covered by jewels?" Chi Heng's eyes were sincere, revealing the persistence and clarity of a young man.
"Presumptuous." Hua Yan glared at him.
Seeing that he wasn't really angry, Chi Heng saw that there were people surrounded there. The place where the light was on was a high platform. Hua Jun, look over there, there is a man competing in martial arts."
Hua Yan glanced at him casually: "That man has been there all year round, he is the most powerful warrior in Baisi."
"Mr. Hua, you say me or him, who is better?"
Glancing at it, Hua Yan casually said: "He's going to be put in a state of life and death, he doesn't care if he's killed, he's left to his fate."
"Mr. Hua, do you want to bet on one?"
"Oh? The conditions are up to you."
"If I win, you can accompany me down to watch the lanterns, okay?" Chi Heng folded his hands and said confidently. In the military camp, he not only wields knives, but also fights well.
"Was lost?"
"Let's deal with Mr. Hua!"
After finishing speaking, Chi Heng got out of the carriage and walked towards the crowd. Most of the audience were spectators. Seeing someone fighting or a young man who didn't know what to do, they all whistled.The man in the arena was very majestic, with his chest bare and his arms exposed, and a black belt tied around his waist, which described him as fierce and vicious.Putting his hands on his waist: "Hey, kid, I'm not joking here, my Zhao Wu's fists are not made from noodles."
Chi Heng clasped his hands and smiled, and put on a fighting stance.
Zhao Wu was not polite anymore, a flying eagle rushed over, Chi Heng made an illusory move, and Zhao Wu missed it.
The master of the ring, Zhao Wu knew that he wanted to be the first to win, so he made fierce moves.
In terms of size and strength, Chi Heng can't match him, but Chi Heng is used to using knives, his legs are fast, he dodges quickly, his eyes are sharp, and he kicks quickly when he catches the gap.The strength of his legs, when he kicked out, he made wind. Zhao Wu was already furious after more than a dozen back and forth.The people below got more and more crowded, and they all shouted when they saw the fierce place, and it was lively for a while.
Chi Heng missed an opening.
Zhao Wuzhi poked at Chi Heng's eyes.
Seeing this, Chi Heng put his fingers together and went down with a knife.Hearing a muffled cry, Zhao Wulian stepped back several steps while shaking his painful hands.Chi Heng didn't allow him to catch his breath, and chased after him with an iron fist, which hit Zhao Wu's chest as heavy as a thousand weights, and Zhao Wu fell to the ground with his head up in response.
Chi Heng stepped forward and said, "Offended!"
Losing so quickly, Zhao Wu couldn't hold back his face. Zhao Wu coughed several times, clutched his chest, and his face was very ugly: "I drank a few drinks today, and I'm on the top. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will still be here, waiting for you."
"Offended, leave." Chi Heng turned and left without taking the hanging money on the table.
With a happy face, Hua Yansui got out of the carriage, slapped his hands and said: "Excellent, there are two tricks, the last thing I know is dancing knives and guns, I can't remember, and I don't like it."
Chi Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked curiously: "When I was a child, didn't you like Hua Jun too?"
Hua Yansui shook his head: "Since I was a child, I only like to listen to people talking about business, playing with jewelry, and screening antiques. I also like to look at the account books and guess the price of next year's goods. I don't know knives and guns. My father also invited Lian's son Come on, I haven't learned anything after practicing for several years, and it doesn't help if my nose is bruised and my face is swollen, so I won't let you learn."
Chi Heng sighed in admiration, as expected, each has talent.
Hua Yansui is indeed not something that others can envy, and I can't blame him for being able to hang his whole body with pearls and jade.
It went smoothly when he got off the carriage, Chi Heng followed Hua Yan closely, watching him closely, and secretly held his sleeves in places where there were many people, for fear of making mistakes.When the crowd saw Hua Yansui, they whispered among themselves, but they all stepped out of the way.Hua Yansui was full of interest, pointed to a very high lamp and said: "In the past, there were many iron lamps of this kind, but now there are fewer. Do you know why?"
"Iron lamps are difficult to make, and they are also expensive." Iron is naturally more expensive than bamboo.
"It wasn't easy in the past. Because iron is getting scarcer and scarcer, and it's used to practice weapons. Looking at the situation in the past two years, the business of weapons is a huge profit." Hua Yansui pointed to a slim woman and said. , "This kind of fabric, this kind of color is bound to be popular this year... Did you see clearly, it really is a lady of everyone... Well, the truth is not something that can be explained all at once."
The more she spoke, the more vigorous she was, the woman turned her head sweetly.
Seeing the future and predicting how to make money is good, but now it is a big spoiler, Chi Heng covered his mouth and coughed: "Mr. Hua, the lanterns on the other side of the street are also good."
After finishing speaking, he pulled him away quickly. When he left, Hua Yansui's eyes were still lingering on the woman's clothes, reluctant to let go: "I personally adjusted this color three years ago. There are some secret materials in the silk and satin. Generally speaking, it was not very popular at the time, so I said that if you wait two more years, it will definitely sell well..."
After finally avoiding the woman's gaze, Chi Heng took a deep breath: "Mr. Hua, shall we guess some lantern riddles?"
Huayan goes with Xinran.
Some lantern riddles are easy and some are difficult. If you guess correctly, you can exchange for small gifts, such as small oil cans, small scissors, wooden spoons, rattles for children and so on.Hua Yansui is extremely clever, and he can solve crossword puzzles, drawing puzzles, idiom puzzles, idiom puzzles, poetry riddles, and poetry puzzles. He got excited and guessed one by one.
Chi Heng followed behind, four or five steps away from him, watching him walking alone in front of the lamp, concentrating on his thoughts, frowning or dazed, completely different from the laziness reclining on a chair.Chi Heng thought, such a person, Lang will try to win over him, Lang will be sincere enough, but I don't know if his sincerity is enough?
Guessing another one, Hua Yansui was very happy, and carried the lantern to change it by herself.
The old man selling lanterns handed him a naked tumbler.Hua Yan Sui couldn't put it down, held it in the palm of his hand, stroked it for a long time, suddenly thought of something, hurriedly turned around and looked around, showing a little helplessness.
Chi Heng ran up.
Hua Yansui breathed a sigh of relief: "This thing is quite interesting."
51. Entering V·Third Change
【51】
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and Chi Heng got up early to see that the trees in the yard were green and the lights on the trees were also in full bloom.
I played late yesterday, but my bones became stronger.
Sure enough, people still have to move.
Hua Yansui ordered someone to call Chi Heng over early, without exchanging pleasantries, he gave him a sealed reply letter, and at the same time there was a bright red gemstone: "You generals always say that blue and green are too vulgar, This is the top-grade red cong jade, it is absolutely not vulgar, it also invigorates the blood and nourishes the heart."
Chi Heng took the letter and gems and put them close to his body: "May I ask Mr. Hua for any instructions?"
Hua Yansui brushed his chin with his fingers, and pondered for a moment: "A few days ago, someone asked me to borrow money to do business. Let me just say that, if I cooperate with him, I can lend him 50 taels; if not To cooperate with him, you need to borrow him 100 million taels. But no matter which one it is, this business will inevitably lose everything. Which one do you think I will choose?"
"50 taels, less loss."
"Wrong. I'd rather give him 100 million taels, and spend it as he pleases. First, it saves trouble, and second, it's generous and humane." Hua Yansui laughed, her phoenix eyes were long and narrow, and she flashed an extremely rare shrewdness in an instant.
Sure enough, he was extravagant and generous.
Chi Heng didn't think much about it, he bowed his hands and said goodbye, and flew on his horse.
It's early spring again, wash away the dust, and there are many mountains.This time, Chi Heng didn't rush on the road, but slowed down his pace, seeing all the customs and customs along the way.The stream gradually rose, and the mountains became more green. It was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when we arrived at Yuanzhou City.This is the first time he has entered Yuanzhou City, and the layout of the city is similar to that of Yizhou.The colorful cages were shaking everywhere in the city, and they were beaming with joy. When they met two or three cavalrymen, they came out to inspect.
Chi Heng soon saw Yan Luan.
It was the same as when we parted, still wearing the same red fur coat.I am used to seeing the blinding royal blue, but looking at red again, I feel more intimate.
Chi Heng handed the letter and the gem to him, and Yan Luan twirled the gem and said: "Hua Yan follows... I can't give you anything else." After finishing speaking, he opened the letter in front of Chi Heng, and the more he looked at it, the more his expression became more and more serious. dignified.
It seems that things are not going well.
Sure enough, Yan Luan threw the letter on the table: "Cunning old fox. Really, no rabbits, no eagles. Did he say anything else?"
Chi Heng said Hua Yansui's last 50 taels.
Yan Luan laughed after listening, and asked Chi Heng: "If you are the one who borrowed money, do you want 100 million or 50?"
"100."
Yan Luan couldn't help but laugh: "Idiot, of course it won't be a matter of more money or less money. Choosing 50 is choosing to be with Hua Yan Sui. Choosing a person is far more important than choosing his money, let alone Hua Yan Sui. He's a cornucopia."
"But, this is a business that will lose money..."
"It's not compensation. Who is rushing to borrow money to make a loss-making business? For Hua Yansui, it's just an excuse for not getting enough benefits. For Hua Yansui, he knows it with affection, and he will be generous regardless of return; To live with his long-term cooperation, you must use "profit" to do it, because "seeking profit" has been engraved into his bone marrow, and you are still too... However, he has a good impression of you. Tell me, how did you see it? What did he do?" Yan Luan looked at Chi Heng with great interest.
Seeing Chi Heng at a loss, he talked about the embarrassment of how to recognize Hua Yansui from a pile of jewels, and exaggerated how fancy and curious Hua Yansui was.
After Yan Luan listened, she smiled and said only one sentence: "Still, Sao Baozi!"
Joking, and a little pampering, Chi Heng felt inexplicable discomfort again, and asked: "General Lang, have you and Mr. Hua ever toured the capital hand in hand?"
Yan Luan couldn't help laughing: "That's what he said? Join hands? It's obvious that he is holding my hand and won't be able to go back to Yizhou if he gets lost. I wish I could run back with my face covered all the way. After entering the General's Mansion, he... he, even if he doesn't mention business, he's quite an interesting person."
Chi Heng snorted, and asked Hua Yansui why he was so reluctant to go out.
"It is said that he traveled with his father several times when he was a child, but he was robbed by gangsters and frightened a lot, so he didn't want to go out. In addition, he was talented and knew the world without going out, so his business flourished and his wealth was like water. , others are famous to visit him, so there is no need to go out." Yan Luan didn't say any more, and changed the subject, "This time is good, I can rest assured that I entrust you with work, although it is not brilliant, at least it is not wrong. Qian Lie also came to Yuanzhou City, do you go back with him, or stay by my side?"
The heartbeat disappeared in an instant, and there was a blank space for a long time before I thought about whether to leave or stay.It is natural to be willing to stay; but there are more things I can’t let go of in Yizhou: Liang Qianlie, Zuo Zhao, Hei Lang, soldiers, and army camps flashed across my mind in an instant; Cen Pojing and Qu Yang who were congenial , the red-eyed tiger; and, clock sequence and memories, the beautiful, expected, and heart-wrenching past... Chi Heng dare not look back
Lying on a recline, with his head half propped up, a pair of phoenix eyes squinted at Chi Heng.
And the emerald that Chi Heng admired was the biggest one hanging on his chest.Chi Heng was dumbfounded.
He was wrong.
I only saw jewels everywhere, but I couldn't tell there was a person among the jewels.
What does Hua Yansui look like?
Can't see clearly.Because there were several circles of pearls and jade hanging around his neck, which shone brightly and blurred the outline of his face.
Hua Yansui was wearing a royal blue brocade shirt, the color was shining and flowing, and the sleeves were embroidered with golden curly patterns, which was unparalleled in luxury.The hand rested on the back of the couch, revealing a part of the wrist, and several circles of rare jasper were wrapped around the wrist, which was very bright, very eye-catching, very fancy, so fancy that it made the whole Chunmanlou pale in comparison.Well, it's not just Chunmanlou, I'm afraid that all the brothels in Yizhou City can't compare to his fancy.
Hua Yansui sat up straight slowly, and all the pearls and jades were shining again.
Chi Heng blinked, his pupils were pierced by the flickering light, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Huayan got off the jade bed, and the pearls and jade rings all over her body jingled, and walked towards Chi Heng, her phoenix eyes curled up: "You are from Yan Luan? Why doesn't he come by himself?"
"Lang, Lang will be busy...in Yuanzhou..." Chi Heng handed the letter to Hua Yansui.
It was also Hua Yansui who asked questions, Chi Heng came back to his senses, put away his stupid expression, at such a close distance, he finally saw Hua Yansui clearly for the first time: he is handsome, handsome, imposing, It can also support this body full of pearls and jade.While answering, he couldn't help thinking: It's enough to hang it all over his head and neck, why do he have to wrap a few strings around his waist and feet? Chi Heng is so tired for him.
Probably because she has long been used to the 'amazing' gazes of others, Hua Yansui didn't care about Chi Heng's faux pas just now.
Open the letter, ten lines at a glance.
There were quite a lot of pages in the letter, Hua Yansui showed disappointment, and murmured complainingly: "It's good to see you, why did you send a small soldier here, really..."
"Yuanzhou has a lot of waste to do, and it's the end of the year, and there are many things. I am specially ordered to send this letter to Mr. Hua. General Lang will visit him next year." Chi Heng replied respectfully.Hua Yan followed his family as a businessman, and he had no official title or title. Others called him Baisi Hua Jun. As time passed, Hua Jun became his respectful name, and Hua Yan followed him by default.
"Next year next year will be next year."
Hua Yansui was full of displeasure, and walked a few steps outside the pavilion.
Chi Heng hurriedly followed, peeking over, and if he really walked around, it was clearly a jewelry shelf.Hua Yansui's head was also covered with pearls and jade, covering most of the long hair, and there were two loose strands at the side of the temple, which were casual and delicate, and the ends were slightly rolled up, extraordinarily black, with a kind of wet freshness.
Chi Heng couldn't help thinking: If he only hangs one string, it's still pretty good.
Seems to understand why every time Yan Luan mentions Hua Yan Sui, there is always a faint smile on the corner of Yan Luan's mouth.Walking through the streets and alleys of the capital with such a jewelry shelf, there must be crowds. I don't know if Yan Luan was under a lot of pressure at that time.
"You little soldier is interesting." Hua Yansui suddenly glanced at him and smiled.
Chi Heng didn't know why.
He felt that he was stupid enough today. When he entered Huage, his eyes were so shocked that he kept staring at the huge emerald, but he didn't notice Mr. Hua himself.Just now I thought I was looking at it secretly, but it turned out to be discovered by others.Would this be interesting? Hua Yansui is indeed unusual.
"You've been looking at me all the time, did you fancy a string of pearls and jade, just take it if you like it." Hua Yansui said lavishly.
Chi Heng was dumbfounded.
Can be hung on the body, every string of pearls and jade is priceless, such a waste of money is really impressive, Chi Heng replied respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Hua, although the pearls and jades are bright, they are only because they are on Mrs. Hua, Chi Heng is rude gone."
Hua Yansui immediately smiled happily: "There is no need to be rude here, we are busy celebrating the New Year, Huazhou has no strangers for half a month, I will take you away."
"Thank you, Mr. Hua."
Hua Yansui is the same as Yan Luan, both 23 and [-] years old.Chi Heng walked all the way, but he didn't see a single maid or servant.Thinking about Huayan staying alone in the lonely Huazhou, although it is warm like spring, and there is no one to talk to, I am afraid that it is quite boring.
After a walk, the warm wind blows up, and Huayan pointed to the surrounding lakes and said: "This lake is called Huahu. It was dug out a hundred years ago, and it is no different from ordinary lakes. Huazhou is very strange. It is like a fire under the ground. It’s warm and spring-like all year round.”
There is a small boat tied to the shore of the lake beside the island, it is very delicate, and it is also adorned with a circle of shining pearls and jade.
Hua Yansui was very interested: "Can you row a boat?"
Chi Heng shook his head honestly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to row a boat, you don't need to row this boat, you just need to step here." Hua Yansui pointed to a step on the bow of the boat.
Chi Heng was very curious.
Not only how the boat was made, but as long as he kept stepping on it, the boat swam along the lake.It was warm on the island and cold on the lake. When the wind blew, his mind cleared up. Chi Heng asked: "Mr. Hua, how did you and our Lang Jiang meet?"
Yan Luan came to Yizhou and Yuanzhou this year.I have been in the capital or the border before.
Huayan leaned against the stern of the boat, with his hands on the edge of the boat: "The year before last, when I went to the capital, I met a thief. He saw him and beat the thief hard, and we got to know each other." It's heavy, so don't recruit thieves.
"Long will always be good at it."
"I never like to go out. That time, it was the shadow guards who made a mistake because of their negligence. Fortunately, I met you General Lang. I called him several times, but I always said that there is no time. I can't bring him here, can I? Capital city It is far away from Yizhou, and it takes half a month to send a letter, and it has been delayed until now."
An understatement, but Chi Heng felt that he was avoiding the important point.
Yan Luan obviously wanted to win him over, it's impossible for Hua Yansui not to know.Since the friendship between the two is so good, why didn't Yan Luan come to visit directly? If the capital is far away, if it is in Yuanzhou City, it will take four or five days for a fast horse.
Hua Yansui stopped talking and looked at the vast lake with deep eyes.
Deeper than that emerald.
The boat was fluttering, maybe his hands were tired, Hua Yansui lazily stretched his waist, and with a flick of his hand, he saw a string of pearls flying out from his wrist, fell into the water, and heard a splash , disappeared.
Chi Heng quickly stopped.
The boat stopped, and the breeze blew her curly hair, but Hua Yansui waved her hand: "It's gone, it's gone, let's go."
Sure enough, it is unusual to "regard precious jade like dung", but since you don't cherish it, why do you still hang it all over your neck?The small boat soon arrived at the lakeside, Hua Yan got up and got off the boat leisurely, but vaguely glanced at the place where the pearl and jade had just dropped.
49. Entering V·First Change
【49】
The boat soon arrived at the lakeside, Huayan got up and got off the boat leisurely, but looked at the place where the pearls and jade fell, and walked away.
There is a dense forest beside the lake, with tall trees and green leaves, revealing a corner of the attic.
As soon as I got off the boat, I could smell the strong fragrance.
It's not the scent of flowers, not the scent of powder, but the scent of food and cakes, Chi Heng's index finger twitched.Hua Yan looked up and sighed: "I don't want people to surround me when I think about it, and I don't see anyone when I think about it. Chi Heng, you wait here first."
Seeing him turn into the forest, Chi Heng looked at the lake water, cold and calm.
Thinking of Huayan, he glanced at it with nostalgia.
Also remembering what Yan Luan said, Chi Heng quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the lake seeing no one around.The lake water is so cool, it was bitingly cold, Chi Heng's feet almost cramp in an instant, and he groped to the place just now based on his memory.
He plunged down and held his breath. Although it is an artificial lake, it is not shallow.
I didn't find it. Although the jewelry is heavy, it won't swim away even if it falls.But Chi Heng's eyes couldn't see clearly whether it sank to the bottom of the lake, and he groped for a while, but couldn't find it.Unable to hold back anymore, he swam up to catch his breath, and when the wind blew, his eyebrows trembled.Another fierce plunge down, continue to search.
He didn't find the jewelry, but found a jade bracelet instead.
It took more than half an hour to go up like this, and I didn't feel cold when I swam up to breathe.Chi Heng was not discouraged, and dived again and again.The hard work paid off, and when the last slam was pierced, I finally touched the string of warm pearls.
Holding it, Chi Heng got out of the lake and wiped his face.
Swimming to the shore quickly, putting on his clothes, his hair was wet and dripping, and the wind blew it into ice slag.
Holding the bead in one hand, Chi Heng brushed his hair with the other, and looked up. After waiting for a while, he wondered why Hua Yansui hadn't come back yet.Seeing a bright light in the forest, Huayan turned out and looked at him with a smile.
Chi Heng handed over the jade string and bracelet.
Hua Yansui casually wrapped the jade string back around her wrist: "I have already said, it's not something important, and I spent a long time looking for it in the lake. It's a cold day, and it's not good if you catch the wind and cold. I'll let you guys know I thought I was harsh on you."
"Mr. Hua, you're being polite." Seeing that he didn't care, Chi Heng was unavoidably frustrated, bowed his head and flicked his short hair a few times.
Hua Yansui held up the bracelet and looked at it. Under the sunlight, it shone like new: "Ah, this is my mother's bracelet. It fell in the lake that year. I have been looking for it for a long time. I never thought I could find it again..." When he came down, Xu was thinking about others when he saw things, with a bit of sadness on his face.
After all, put the bracelet on the other hand.
Looking at both of his hands, the emerald and agate jewels are gradually stacked down, compared to the wrists, which are really a bit horrible, so Chi Heng moved his eyes away.
The small building hidden in the dense forest is indeed a dining room.
As soon as you enter the building, you can't talk about the luxury of the furniture, the luxury of the cloth decorations, and the row of maids standing there, all of whom are rich and rich.Just say that on the table, it is amazing. There are hundreds of small plates, which are very delicate. There are pastries, delicacies, mountain delicacies, and seafood in the plates. They are all arranged in round or square shapes. Each ruler has its own flavor.
There are fruits and vegetables in four seasons, common peaches, plums, dates, apricots, longan and lychees, etc., and grapes and crystal fruits that are not common, and some of them are strange shapes, which Chi Heng has never seen before.
At the huge table, just the two of them sat.
Chi Heng is not picky about food, but he eats everything in front of him.Or crisp or tender, articulate, very delicious.After swimming for most of the day, he was so hungry that he ate hard, and within a short time, he wiped out all the delicious food on the plate in front of him.
Seeing him eating with gusto, Hua Yan was in a happy mood, and signaled the maid to remove all the empty plates and serve new dishes.
Chi Heng ate a meal, but found that the more he ate, the more dishes he ate. He didn't know how many dishes he ate, but he stopped when he felt that his stomach was full.
"I am full?"
Chi Heng nodded, he had never been full, never had a good time, to be honest, he ate some dishes without tasting the taste, he just thought it was extremely delicious, I am afraid that in this life, no matter how unpalatable it is It's a luxury meal.
Hua Yansui nodded in satisfaction, and after removing the dishes, asked him how long he had been with Yan Luan?Usually do something like that.
Hearing that he knows how to wield a sword, Hua Yansui was full of interest: "I have a shadow guard who is also used to wielding a sword. I don't know which of you is better." After saying that, he called the shadow guard out.The shadow guard is very calm, with a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye.The two found an open space and made gestures.Chi Heng's saber technique was aggressive, after a hundred rounds, he knocked down the shadow guard.
Hua Yansui looked at the shadow guard with dissatisfaction: "I was picked on so easily, how dare I go out in the future?"
Chi Heng quickly explained: "The shadow guard's sword technique is the sword technique of protecting people, focusing on how to protect people from being hurt, the victory lies in defense, and the victory lies in skill; , but it cannot protect people, but it is easy to hurt the people it protects.”
"Is there such a reason?"
"Exactly. The Shadow Guard's saber technique is the best saber technique Chi Heng has ever seen."
"That's right, I've picked the best ones, and I haven't made any mistakes." Hua Yansui pondered for a while, "Yan Luan's ability is high, and you are not bad either. If you can be my guard, you can barely do it." of."
Chi Heng laughed horribly, thinking that it must not be done, no one can look down on the jewelry shelf under the watchful eyes of everyone.
How can there be a complete and comprehensive guard in the world, unless it is not coveted.
Fortunately, Hua Yan casually talked about it.
After being settled in a small building, Hua Yan was told to settle in for two days first, he had to reply carefully, and call him again after two days.Chi Heng was a guest at the Huafu, serving delicious food and drinks, whatever he could think of.Chi Heng walked around the Huafu, and Zuoyue found that it was magnificent and luxurious, with countless scenery, but there were a little less people.
Hua Yan is the shadow guard casually, probably because she doesn't like guards walking around to be an eyesore, don't look at the empty space, maybe it's hidden somewhere.
For example, I found one on a tree just now, with similar clothes and colors, so I usually don't notice it.
For several days in a row, Chi Heng never saw Hua Yansui again.
The more nobody there was, the quieter it was, and the more impossible to know the details. On the fourth day, that was the morning of New Year's Eve, Chi Heng pushed open the door and was almost shocked. The scenery changed overnight.Lanterns are hung on the trees, corridors, and walls in front of you. Although they are all bright red, they have different shapes. There are palace lanterns, gauze lanterns, and revolving lanterns. The patterns painted on them are even more colorful. .It's a pity that the grandeur is enough, and the popularity is not at all. There is only Chi Heng in the whole garden.
At night on New Year's Eve, the lights are all lit up, which is very gorgeous.
But the yard was still deserted.
About midnight, suddenly there were popping, popping, popping sounds everywhere, the sky was filled with fireworks, and thousands of trees fell from the sky, the splendor was indescribable.After leaving it for a long time, until Chi Heng's neck became sore, the noise gradually stopped.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the colorful lanterns in Huafu are hung high, and there is no one to appreciate them under the lights.On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the guards gave Chi Heng a big red envelope, the new year is a joy, and everyone has a share.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Chi Heng Meimei slept all day.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he couldn't sleep.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Chi Heng finally found Hua Yansui.Under a colorful lantern, Hua Yan Sui is looking up, after grooming, Hua Yan Sui's curly hair is meticulous.Seeing Chi Heng coming, he asked him: "How is it in this mansion? Isn't it beautiful? Is it majestic? I heard that the colorful lanterns in Yizhou City are also good. I wonder how it compares to Baisi?"
"There are many people in Yizhou City, and there are many lights in Baisi Town." Chi Heng replied, thinking that Baisi is indeed the richest of the rich.
"There are too many people, it's not good." Hua Yansui frowned.
Chi Heng was very confused. He felt that Hua Yan followed this style of behavior and should like the attention of many people.
"When I was young, I loved going to the east of Baisi Town to watch the lanterns. The whole long street was full of lanterns. It was as beautiful as it could be. From the fifth o'clock in the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it has been going on for more than ten years without knowing it. .” The aftertaste is very sweet.
It sounds like he should only have a few hours of memory.
Well, there are probably more lanterns hanging in Huafu than in the entire Baisi Town, but this can't make up for Hua Yansui's desire for Baisi Chang's lanterns.Chi Heng thought, could it be true that, as he said, because of various reasons, "I seldom go out", so even watching lanterns is a luxury?
"If Mr. Hua wants to see, Chi Heng can guard the left and right."
Chi Heng is really embarrassed to say directly that he is about to get sick in Huafu, the huge mansion is always empty, the only thing he looks forward to every day is to eat, and eat a big table.
Huayan followed but smiled and said nothing.
Chi Heng approached and picked up a small lantern: "It's a pity that it's not cold enough here, if there is an ice lantern in the yard, it would be very beautiful?"
"Ice lamp?"
In Huazhou, which has always been warm, Hua Yansui may not know what the real cold is. Chi Heng smiled and gestured: "I used to be at home, when the coldest winter months were the coldest, I used two buckets of different sizes to cover them together. Put it on the water and put it outside the house. After it freezes, take out the bucket, leaving only an ice cube with a hollow in the middle. Light a lamp in the ice, which is very beautiful. One year I filled the whole yard with ice lamps. "Although the faces of the parents have been blurred, the orange ice lanterns in the yard are deeply imprinted.
Hua Yansui raised the corners of her mouth: "Although I haven't seen it before, it's quite interesting to think about it. It must be a lot of effort."
"It's just a bit of physical effort. In fact, no matter how many tricks there are, the lamp is still a lamp, and there are no flowers. The most beautiful thing to see a lantern is a person. Thinking about the fiery tree, silver flower, fish and dragon dance on the street, someone needs to shuttle through the lamp. It’s interesting. Also, when watching the lanterns, there are a lot of delicious food.” Chi Heng smiled, and added, “I’m afraid the dim sum at the small stalls are far inferior to the taste of Huafu, but it’s better because there are so many people crowded together. , Waiting, watching, it will be interesting."
"If you want to see it, go and see it."
"Mr. Hua, won't you go?"
"I seldom go out." Hua Yan followed the phoenix eyes, "Furthermore, how do you protect me? Are you carrying a big knife? What if you turn around and I get lost? "
Chi Heng froze for a moment, his heart ached, his eyes were a little blurred, and he forced a smile and said, "Are you lost? Hua Jun must be lost in Baisi Town, right? If Hua Jun is still not at ease, Chi Heng can pull you , we will not get lost."
Huayan laughs loudly.
The laughter shook the lantern.
"Hahaha, it's really interesting. Last time, Yan Luan said the same thing, and asked me to take off all the jewels and pretend to be a woman." Hua Yansui laughed heartily, and said it generously, without any shame Or embarrassment, a sweetness that can be recalled from the past.
"Huh?" Chi Heng jumped three feet high, "You two are walking around the capital hand in hand?"
50. Entering V·Second Change
【Fifty】
"That's not true, it's just a little closer. Yan Luan is better than you. He can make others dare not approach him, so there is no need to be on guard." Hua Yansui said without hesitation, "It's not about bragging, it's just pretending to be a woman , this gentleman is also the best in the capital, passers-by along the way can only look at it from a distance, quite envious."
Chi Heng almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
No matter how he dresses up, Hua Yansui is also a majestic man, who has seen a woman with such a physique?Even if you only look at the face, the nose is hanging and the outline is deep, you can only see it as a woman unless you are blind, so you can't help but tease: "How does Mr. Hua know that he is not looking at our generals?"
Hua Yansui immediately replied arrogantly: "That is natural, I have compared with him."
"what?"
When asked again, Hua Yan pursed her lips and smiled and did not continue.
Chi Hengyao thought that the goose dressed in royal blue and the Yan Luan in red would swagger through the market, and there must be no grass growing in the place where they pass.I really want to know what happened at that time, forget it, it’s the same when I ask General Lang another day, it’s still important to get down to business right now, so he slammed up and mentioned the matter of replying to the letter.
"What's the rush? The Huafu has everything you need. What's the point of going to Yuanzhou?"
Chi Heng blurted out: "I want to enjoy the fifteen lanterns with General Lang."
"You want to see lanterns that much?"
"I want to watch it with General Lang. After the fifteenth day, King Yan's army will go south to attack Stone Prefecture. By then, we may not be able to be with General Lang again." Chi Heng repeated 'together' heavily.
Hua Yan followed with a troubled expression: "It's really lively, I can let a few shadow guards come with you."
Chi Heng shook his head.
After thinking for a while, Hua Yansui suddenly realized: "Could it be that you want to watch it with me? No, the more lively it is, the less I can go out, so as not to cause trouble."
The ghosts and gods go out in a lot of wind and rain, and they really are people. Chi Heng twitched the corners of his mouth and blurted out: "Mr. Hua, if you don't want to cause trouble, you just need to take off all the pearls and jade. Besides, your clothes are very beautiful." , just one gem is enough.”
Hua Yansui shook his head decisively: "No, it's too cold, it's a joke."
Chi Heng smiled: "If Mr. Hua doesn't mind, you can give it a try." Seeing that Hua Yan was noncommittal, he stepped forward to carefully remove all the jewels from his head and body, piled them aside, and immediately became much cleaner.Wearing royal blue clothes, extremely gorgeous, with a sapphire on the waist, shining dazzlingly.
Huayan's beauty is extraordinary, and her magnificence remains undiminished.
Unexpectedly, Hua Yan looked at the mirror, and immediately leaned over to pick up the pearl: "It's ugly."
Chi Heng pressed his hand, very sincerely and seriously: "This is very good, and another string is redundant. Mr. Hua knows a saying: the moon is bright when the stars are few, and the stars are many when the moon is dark. You can only choose between the two." [-]. Jewelry is like a star, and Mr. Hua is like the moon, how can the pearl and jade take away the glory of Mr. Hua.”
Hua Yan rejoiced at his metaphor, and said proudly, "No wonder I couldn't move my eyes when I first saw him that day. Is it because I was shocked by my majesty's beauty?"
Chi Heng held back his burst of laughter and nodded.
Hua Yan raised her phoenix eyes: "Really? Doesn't it look right?"
Chi Heng hurriedly changed the topic: "Mr. Hua, if you really want to see Baisi's lantern, Chi Heng can guard the left and right."
After repeating it back and forth several times, Chi Heng realized it with affection, and was even agitated.In the end, it was no match for her childhood memories, so Hua Yan tidied it up with enthusiasm, hung up the jewels, recruited all the shadow guards, and gave orders.Only then did he and Chi Heng go out in a carriage, and the carriage was naturally inexhaustibly ornate.
The carriages are all on the road, and they can't get close to the lanterns.
The crowd also knew that it was Huafu's carriage, and they all moved away.
This is also called appreciating lanterns?Looking at Hua Yansui who was watching with gusto through the curtain, Chi Heng was depressed: "Mr. Hua, let's go down and have a look." He really wasn't worried, because the shadow guards in Hua Mansion were not just decorations, and Hua Yansui was afraid. It comes from the heart.
Hua Yansui shook his head decisively.
When he shook, the pearls and jades on his head jingled.Chi Heng stretched out his hand, and quickly took off the peacock jewels on his temples, and the curly hair fell down in an instant.
Hua Yansui was furious.
"Mr. Hua's hair is also pretty. It's rare to see such natural curly hair. It's black and dense. Why should it be covered by jewels?" Chi Heng's eyes were sincere, revealing the persistence and clarity of a young man.
"Presumptuous." Hua Yan glared at him.
Seeing that he wasn't really angry, Chi Heng saw that there were people surrounded there. The place where the light was on was a high platform. Hua Jun, look over there, there is a man competing in martial arts."
Hua Yan glanced at him casually: "That man has been there all year round, he is the most powerful warrior in Baisi."
"Mr. Hua, you say me or him, who is better?"
Glancing at it, Hua Yan casually said: "He's going to be put in a state of life and death, he doesn't care if he's killed, he's left to his fate."
"Mr. Hua, do you want to bet on one?"
"Oh? The conditions are up to you."
"If I win, you can accompany me down to watch the lanterns, okay?" Chi Heng folded his hands and said confidently. In the military camp, he not only wields knives, but also fights well.
"Was lost?"
"Let's deal with Mr. Hua!"
After finishing speaking, Chi Heng got out of the carriage and walked towards the crowd. Most of the audience were spectators. Seeing someone fighting or a young man who didn't know what to do, they all whistled.The man in the arena was very majestic, with his chest bare and his arms exposed, and a black belt tied around his waist, which described him as fierce and vicious.Putting his hands on his waist: "Hey, kid, I'm not joking here, my Zhao Wu's fists are not made from noodles."
Chi Heng clasped his hands and smiled, and put on a fighting stance.
Zhao Wu was not polite anymore, a flying eagle rushed over, Chi Heng made an illusory move, and Zhao Wu missed it.
The master of the ring, Zhao Wu knew that he wanted to be the first to win, so he made fierce moves.
In terms of size and strength, Chi Heng can't match him, but Chi Heng is used to using knives, his legs are fast, he dodges quickly, his eyes are sharp, and he kicks quickly when he catches the gap.The strength of his legs, when he kicked out, he made wind. Zhao Wu was already furious after more than a dozen back and forth.The people below got more and more crowded, and they all shouted when they saw the fierce place, and it was lively for a while.
Chi Heng missed an opening.
Zhao Wuzhi poked at Chi Heng's eyes.
Seeing this, Chi Heng put his fingers together and went down with a knife.Hearing a muffled cry, Zhao Wulian stepped back several steps while shaking his painful hands.Chi Heng didn't allow him to catch his breath, and chased after him with an iron fist, which hit Zhao Wu's chest as heavy as a thousand weights, and Zhao Wu fell to the ground with his head up in response.
Chi Heng stepped forward and said, "Offended!"
Losing so quickly, Zhao Wu couldn't hold back his face. Zhao Wu coughed several times, clutched his chest, and his face was very ugly: "I drank a few drinks today, and I'm on the top. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will still be here, waiting for you."
"Offended, leave." Chi Heng turned and left without taking the hanging money on the table.
With a happy face, Hua Yansui got out of the carriage, slapped his hands and said: "Excellent, there are two tricks, the last thing I know is dancing knives and guns, I can't remember, and I don't like it."
Chi Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked curiously: "When I was a child, didn't you like Hua Jun too?"
Hua Yansui shook his head: "Since I was a child, I only like to listen to people talking about business, playing with jewelry, and screening antiques. I also like to look at the account books and guess the price of next year's goods. I don't know knives and guns. My father also invited Lian's son Come on, I haven't learned anything after practicing for several years, and it doesn't help if my nose is bruised and my face is swollen, so I won't let you learn."
Chi Heng sighed in admiration, as expected, each has talent.
Hua Yansui is indeed not something that others can envy, and I can't blame him for being able to hang his whole body with pearls and jade.
It went smoothly when he got off the carriage, Chi Heng followed Hua Yan closely, watching him closely, and secretly held his sleeves in places where there were many people, for fear of making mistakes.When the crowd saw Hua Yansui, they whispered among themselves, but they all stepped out of the way.Hua Yansui was full of interest, pointed to a very high lamp and said: "In the past, there were many iron lamps of this kind, but now there are fewer. Do you know why?"
"Iron lamps are difficult to make, and they are also expensive." Iron is naturally more expensive than bamboo.
"It wasn't easy in the past. Because iron is getting scarcer and scarcer, and it's used to practice weapons. Looking at the situation in the past two years, the business of weapons is a huge profit." Hua Yansui pointed to a slim woman and said. , "This kind of fabric, this kind of color is bound to be popular this year... Did you see clearly, it really is a lady of everyone... Well, the truth is not something that can be explained all at once."
The more she spoke, the more vigorous she was, the woman turned her head sweetly.
Seeing the future and predicting how to make money is good, but now it is a big spoiler, Chi Heng covered his mouth and coughed: "Mr. Hua, the lanterns on the other side of the street are also good."
After finishing speaking, he pulled him away quickly. When he left, Hua Yansui's eyes were still lingering on the woman's clothes, reluctant to let go: "I personally adjusted this color three years ago. There are some secret materials in the silk and satin. Generally speaking, it was not very popular at the time, so I said that if you wait two more years, it will definitely sell well..."
After finally avoiding the woman's gaze, Chi Heng took a deep breath: "Mr. Hua, shall we guess some lantern riddles?"
Huayan goes with Xinran.
Some lantern riddles are easy and some are difficult. If you guess correctly, you can exchange for small gifts, such as small oil cans, small scissors, wooden spoons, rattles for children and so on.Hua Yansui is extremely clever, and he can solve crossword puzzles, drawing puzzles, idiom puzzles, idiom puzzles, poetry riddles, and poetry puzzles. He got excited and guessed one by one.
Chi Heng followed behind, four or five steps away from him, watching him walking alone in front of the lamp, concentrating on his thoughts, frowning or dazed, completely different from the laziness reclining on a chair.Chi Heng thought, such a person, Lang will try to win over him, Lang will be sincere enough, but I don't know if his sincerity is enough?
Guessing another one, Hua Yansui was very happy, and carried the lantern to change it by herself.
The old man selling lanterns handed him a naked tumbler.Hua Yan Sui couldn't put it down, held it in the palm of his hand, stroked it for a long time, suddenly thought of something, hurriedly turned around and looked around, showing a little helplessness.
Chi Heng ran up.
Hua Yansui breathed a sigh of relief: "This thing is quite interesting."
51. Entering V·Third Change
【51】
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and Chi Heng got up early to see that the trees in the yard were green and the lights on the trees were also in full bloom.
I played late yesterday, but my bones became stronger.
Sure enough, people still have to move.
Hua Yansui ordered someone to call Chi Heng over early, without exchanging pleasantries, he gave him a sealed reply letter, and at the same time there was a bright red gemstone: "You generals always say that blue and green are too vulgar, This is the top-grade red cong jade, it is absolutely not vulgar, it also invigorates the blood and nourishes the heart."
Chi Heng took the letter and gems and put them close to his body: "May I ask Mr. Hua for any instructions?"
Hua Yansui brushed his chin with his fingers, and pondered for a moment: "A few days ago, someone asked me to borrow money to do business. Let me just say that, if I cooperate with him, I can lend him 50 taels; if not To cooperate with him, you need to borrow him 100 million taels. But no matter which one it is, this business will inevitably lose everything. Which one do you think I will choose?"
"50 taels, less loss."
"Wrong. I'd rather give him 100 million taels, and spend it as he pleases. First, it saves trouble, and second, it's generous and humane." Hua Yansui laughed, her phoenix eyes were long and narrow, and she flashed an extremely rare shrewdness in an instant.
Sure enough, he was extravagant and generous.
Chi Heng didn't think much about it, he bowed his hands and said goodbye, and flew on his horse.
It's early spring again, wash away the dust, and there are many mountains.This time, Chi Heng didn't rush on the road, but slowed down his pace, seeing all the customs and customs along the way.The stream gradually rose, and the mountains became more green. It was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when we arrived at Yuanzhou City.This is the first time he has entered Yuanzhou City, and the layout of the city is similar to that of Yizhou.The colorful cages were shaking everywhere in the city, and they were beaming with joy. When they met two or three cavalrymen, they came out to inspect.
Chi Heng soon saw Yan Luan.
It was the same as when we parted, still wearing the same red fur coat.I am used to seeing the blinding royal blue, but looking at red again, I feel more intimate.
Chi Heng handed the letter and the gem to him, and Yan Luan twirled the gem and said: "Hua Yan follows... I can't give you anything else." After finishing speaking, he opened the letter in front of Chi Heng, and the more he looked at it, the more his expression became more and more serious. dignified.
It seems that things are not going well.
Sure enough, Yan Luan threw the letter on the table: "Cunning old fox. Really, no rabbits, no eagles. Did he say anything else?"
Chi Heng said Hua Yansui's last 50 taels.
Yan Luan laughed after listening, and asked Chi Heng: "If you are the one who borrowed money, do you want 100 million or 50?"
"100."
Yan Luan couldn't help but laugh: "Idiot, of course it won't be a matter of more money or less money. Choosing 50 is choosing to be with Hua Yan Sui. Choosing a person is far more important than choosing his money, let alone Hua Yan Sui. He's a cornucopia."
"But, this is a business that will lose money..."
"It's not compensation. Who is rushing to borrow money to make a loss-making business? For Hua Yansui, it's just an excuse for not getting enough benefits. For Hua Yansui, he knows it with affection, and he will be generous regardless of return; To live with his long-term cooperation, you must use "profit" to do it, because "seeking profit" has been engraved into his bone marrow, and you are still too... However, he has a good impression of you. Tell me, how did you see it? What did he do?" Yan Luan looked at Chi Heng with great interest.
Seeing Chi Heng at a loss, he talked about the embarrassment of how to recognize Hua Yansui from a pile of jewels, and exaggerated how fancy and curious Hua Yansui was.
After Yan Luan listened, she smiled and said only one sentence: "Still, Sao Baozi!"
Joking, and a little pampering, Chi Heng felt inexplicable discomfort again, and asked: "General Lang, have you and Mr. Hua ever toured the capital hand in hand?"
Yan Luan couldn't help laughing: "That's what he said? Join hands? It's obvious that he is holding my hand and won't be able to go back to Yizhou if he gets lost. I wish I could run back with my face covered all the way. After entering the General's Mansion, he... he, even if he doesn't mention business, he's quite an interesting person."
Chi Heng snorted, and asked Hua Yansui why he was so reluctant to go out.
"It is said that he traveled with his father several times when he was a child, but he was robbed by gangsters and frightened a lot, so he didn't want to go out. In addition, he was talented and knew the world without going out, so his business flourished and his wealth was like water. , others are famous to visit him, so there is no need to go out." Yan Luan didn't say any more, and changed the subject, "This time is good, I can rest assured that I entrust you with work, although it is not brilliant, at least it is not wrong. Qian Lie also came to Yuanzhou City, do you go back with him, or stay by my side?"
The heartbeat disappeared in an instant, and there was a blank space for a long time before I thought about whether to leave or stay.It is natural to be willing to stay; but there are more things I can’t let go of in Yizhou: Liang Qianlie, Zuo Zhao, Hei Lang, soldiers, and army camps flashed across my mind in an instant; Cen Pojing and Qu Yang who were congenial , the red-eyed tiger; and, clock sequence and memories, the beautiful, expected, and heart-wrenching past... Chi Heng dare not look back
