Lianhua Manlou

"Jiu'er has worked hard." King Taiping happily welcomed his son into the tent, and ordered his servants to serve tea. "Jiu'er's ability to instigate King Zhao and King Qin this time is really a great contribution."

"Father is wrong." Gong Jiu smiled slightly: "Then Zhao Wang and the prince are just fools, how can they resist it? But a villain is still a villain. You should be more prepared.”

"Naturally." King Taiping nodded approvingly, and smiled again: "Now most of the eighteen counties in the three provinces are in our hands, and it's time for a decisive battle. I have mobilized a large number of troops to lie in ambush on Shuanghump, Yuwen General and General Fang lure the enemy to go deep, victory or defeat depends on one action!"

"What the father said is true." Gong Jiu's eyes flickered slightly.

King Taiping looked at his son and said lovingly, "Jiu'er seems to have lost weight again. You are a picky person. You have suffered a lot along the way, right? After hearing about you, the king ordered someone to prepare your favorite son. I will take a bath later, eat a full meal, and sleep soundly. The rest will be discussed after you sleep well."

Gong Jiu nodded hastily, and left the tent as if fleeing.King Taiping looked at him amusedly, thinking that he was embarrassed, but he couldn't help laughing.

Nameless Island, small building.

Wang Lianhua was painting, standing behind the desk in a soft robe, holding a Langhao brush, and smilingly looking at Huamanlou who was tending flowers and plants not far away.

Huamanlou sat by the window, caressing the soft petals like a lover's lips.With flower scissors in one hand, he trimmed the excess branches and vines.Raising his head from time to time, his eyebrows and eyes are gentle, his smile is shallow, and his tenderness is slowly flowing.

Wang Lianhua winked mischievously at him, and described his appearance, eyebrows, smile, soft face, handsome and thin figure bit by bit on the Xuanlang paper... The brush strokes are tactful, revealing a trace of tenderness .

Hua Manlou hesitated, cleaned his hands, walked behind Wang Lianhua quietly, looked closely, and couldn't help smiling: "I can't draw as well as you."

Without raising her head, Wang Lianhua leaned back against him and said triumphantly, "Why not? This is what you look like in my eyes."

"This is... my small building?" Hua Manlou couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pointed joyfully: "This one is Weizi, this one is Drunken Orchid, this one is Yutaichun, and this one... He looked at Wang Lianhua: "When did you remember so clearly?"

Wang Lianhua's brushstrokes paused slightly, and she said triumphantly: "Xiaosheng is not only a photographic memory, but he still has the ability to see ten lines at a glance. Xiaosheng never dared to underestimate himself. In the whole world, if you want to find someone like Xiaosheng, you may not be able to find someone like him." If there is no second one, Playboy is lucky."

"You, you, really..." Hua Manlou shook his head helplessly.

Wang Lianhua's heart moved, she put down her pen, raised her head and kissed Hua Manlou's face with a "baji", and then giggled into a ball.Hua Manlou covered her face in a daze, she was embarrassed, her heart softened and sweetened.

Wang Lianhua bowed to Huamanlou, with a frank twitch in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Please wait a moment, Mr. Seventh, and come to serve you after finishing this painting for Xiaosheng, okay?"

Hua Manlou smiled slightly and sat beside him.

Wang Lianhua wrote like a god, and soon a painting was finished.He pondered and suddenly picked up the pen, leaving two lines of writing beside it, Hua Manlou looked over in surprise, and Wang Lianhua stood in front of him.

"What did you write on it?" Hua Manlou asked curiously.

Wang Lianhua smiled and said, "I'll tell you after 20 years!"

Hua Manlou was stunned, with a hint of bewilderment in his eyes, he also laughed, and replied softly, "Okay."

Lu Xiaofeng watched from afar, his eyes full of envy, "Should I also find someone to live an ordinary and beautiful life?"

Ximen Chuuxue sat beside him, but denied it without hesitation: "Impossible, because you are Lu Xiaofeng." Lu Xiaofeng can be a hero or a prodigal, but it is absolutely impossible to become an ordinary person, live an ordinary life Ordinary day.

Lu Xiaofeng jumped on his feet and retorted: "It's just that I haven't met that person, the one who can make me settle down willingly, the one who is destined. As long as I want, I can also be an ordinary husband, or even a father .”

"Then a more strange little phoenix will come out?" Ximen Chuuxue laughed.

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes sparkled: "What's wrong? The unknown future is always full of expectations. Maybe in a few years or ten years, there will be someone who is more righteous, smarter and witty than Lu Xiaofeng. , who will remember Lu Xiaofeng by then." When he said this, he didn't feel depressed at all but was excited and looking forward to it.The two beards seemed to be flying, and there was a dimple on the side of the cheek.

Ximen Fuxue narrowed his eyes slightly: "I'm afraid you will be bored by then."

Lu Xiaofeng was surprised and said: "How could it be? Don't you still have you? Even if you don't talk to me, as long as you give me a few jars of good wine you make, I can be happy like a fairy."

"Then I'm going to suffer a lot..." Ximen Chuuxue's gaze softened, with a strange light shining, and he murmured.

Lu Xiaofeng patted him on the shoulder, laughing a lot.

Jiangnan, Huajia.

Hua Manting stared at the hard-working girl in the garden, struggling to carry the bucket, walking with difficulty, staggering and a little uncoordinated.Although it is not so beautiful and affectionate, it is gentle enough to make people's hearts move.She always had a satisfied smile on her face, she was quiet and soft, and the clouds were calm and breezy.Hua Manting only felt that his heart was full of tenderness, almost overflowing.

"Do you like her?" Someone suddenly asked beside him.

Hua Manting was startled, and sure enough, Hua Manting had already stood beside him, looking at him carefully with her head turned sideways, with a flash of light in her eyes.

Hua Manting blushed, and said in a low voice, "She, she's fine!"

Hua Manyuan said: "Because she saved your life?"

Hua Manting escorted a batch of goods out to sea a few months ago, but encountered bandits and fled to a small fishing village, where she was rescued by a girl named Fang Ruo. Later, when something happened in the village, Hua Manting picked them up After returning home, he temporarily stayed at Hua's house.

Hua Manting's eyes widened: "Of course not! She, she is a good woman and treats me very well. I want to take care of her for the rest of my life, and I will treat her well."

"Do you know her?" Hua Manyuan asked seriously: "Do you know her past? Is she willing to be with you? Does she really like you?"

Hua Manting said angrily, "Why do you always criticize her like this? Because she's just a fisher girl?"

Hua Manyuan said calmly: "It's not that we look down on her identity, but we don't want you to be sad in the future. Could it be that the Hua family lacks her dowry? You underestimate your family too."

Hua Manting blushed, lowered her head in embarrassment, and said in a muffled voice: "I, I really like her, and I want to live a good life with her."

"Have you really thought it through?" Hua Manyuan asked again.

Hua Manting didn't answer right away, but really thought about it for a long time before slowly nodding.

Hua Manlou sighed, and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't just care about your own happiness, you should first ask other girls if they are happy."

Hua Manting's eyes widened in surprise, he nodded vigorously, and ran towards the girl excitedly, the two were talking and laughing, as if they were extremely happy.

Fang Ruo's gaze stopped suddenly, she looked at Hua Manting and said in embarrassment, "I, I forgot to buy embroidery thread."

"It's okay, we have plenty of embroidery thread at home, if it's really not good, I'll go to my sister-in-law to borrow some good ones for you." Hua Manting said nonchalantly.

Fang Ruo lowered her head shyly, and said softly, "I want to buy it with my own money, and embroider a pouch for you."

Hua Manting also blushed, and stammered: "Then, then I will go with you."

Fang Ruo shook his head, "I'll go by myself."

Hua Manting nodded wildly and watched Fang Ruo leave.

Fang Ruo went all the way out of Hua's house and went straight to the embroidery shop. The boss was dozing off on the counter. Seeing her coming in, he hurriedly greeted her with a smile on his face.

Fang Ruo's eyes flashed and he asked, "I heard that you have a batch of new lines coming from Fu Ruixiang, the capital city."

The boss smiled more amiably: "No, you really know the goods. This Fu Ruixiangke is a time-honored brand in Beijing, and it is the only one.

Home, no semicolons!The goods are all high-quality goods, self-made and self-sold, the output is not much, and the appearance is not big.I still asked someone to bring these goods back from the capital! "

Fang Ruo said: "I want to embroider that Sui Sui is safe, and you may have all the threads here."

The boss smiled and narrowed his eyes: "If they all want Fu Ruixiang's goods, they will be more expensive."

Fang Ruo asked, "How much is it expensive?"

The boss said: "No more, no less, five taels of silver."

Fang Ruo nodded, and the boss wrapped the things up and said, "This Fu Ruixiang's thread is so thin that ordinary needles can't be used. I baked a box of new ones inside. Girl, take it back and use it."

Fang Ruo paused slightly, thanked him and left without looking back, walking in a hurry.

Night has finally enveloped the earth.

No lights, no candles, no fire, just darkness.Gong Jiu opened his eyes, but there was warmth around him, which was reassuring.

Gong Jiu leaned over, and the people around him woke up as soon as he moved, slightly moved his thick black eyelashes a few times, and the voice obviously carried the laziness of just waking up: "Why don't you sleep more?"

Gong Jiu didn't say a word, just quietly nestled beside him.Ye Gucheng clasped his hands slowly, and intertwined his fingers. The palms of both of them were slightly cold, but they were hot against everything.

Ye Gucheng hesitated and said: "Back then...why didn't you ask the prince yourself about what happened back then?"

Gong Jiu smiled bitterly, raised his head and looked at him: "I don't want to, and I dare not."

For Gong Jiu, killing his mother by his biological father was simply a nightmare for a lifetime.The gentle and gentle woman in my memory, who would touch his head and praise him, just fell into a pool of blood like that, those empty eyes seemed to be staring at him, staring at him...

"What if there is another secret?" Ye Gucheng said: "How will you deal with yourself at that time?"

Gong Jiu struggled, clenched his teeth firmly: "I don't know."

Ye Gucheng stretched out his hand to caress his lips pitifully, put his fingers in without hesitation, opened it, and sure enough, the inside had been bitten to pieces.He frowned, with a flash of anger in his eyes, he leaned over to hold Gong Jiu's lips, carefully licked the wound inside, and then rubbed together in dissatisfaction.

Gong Jiu's eyes were surprisingly bright, he panted, and chuckled: "You are really still that isolated city with the Yellow River far above the white clouds,

The White Cloud City Lord of the mountain? "

Ye Gucheng smiled and said, "Ah Jiu, don't let yourself do something that you will regret for the rest of your life."

Gong Jiu was stunned for a long time before slowly nodding his head hesitantly.
