Plum Blossoms

After that, someone sent the things they ordered to Huafu.After Mrs. Hua gave some instructions, she took Wang Zhaojun to a shop called "Dianzhuangzhai".This is a store that specializes in women's rouge makeup powder and other goods, and the customers in the store are all women.Mrs. Hua was in a good mood, and opened a lipstick box with great interest to see the color.

She bought a lot of makeup and went to see the jewelry again.Those jade bracelets and hairpins were indeed exquisite, but they didn't add magic attack attributes to her. Wang Zhaojun just took a look at them, and sometimes he would praise them when Mrs. Hua asked her.

It was almost noon when they returned to Huafu.As soon as he entered the door, a maid greeted him and said that Mrs. Hua was waiting to preside over the affairs of the government. She left Hua Qing for Wang Zhaojun and left in a hurry.

Hua Qing asked Wang Zhaojun: "Where does Miss Wang want to go? The garden in our Huafu is the best in Hangzhou, do you want to go around the garden?"

However, Wang Zhaojun felt that it was more appropriate to be cautious in his words and deeds when he was a guest at someone else's house, so he said that he was a little tired and wanted to go back to rest.

Hua Qing was leading the way for her.

They entered the yard through the side door at the back. Wang Zhaojun was not familiar with the terrain, so he followed Huaqing step by step, passing the pond, passing the veranda, and then stepping into the moon gate of a landscape wall.From a long distance, Wang Zhaojun saw at a glance that Huamanlou was sitting in the pavilion with his back to them on the rockery piled up with strange rocks, not knowing what he was doing.

Hua Qing was talking to her about anecdotes in Hangzhou city, when she noticed that she stopped suddenly, she turned her head and followed her line of sight to see her seventh young master.She looked at Wang Zhaojun again, and asked tentatively, "Miss Wang, are you going to sit in the pavilion?"

Although this question is extremely reserved, everyone understands the meaning hidden in it.If it were an ordinary lady from a great family, she might have been too ashamed to raise her head.

But Wang Zhaojun is not an ordinary woman after all.She nodded, and said lightly, "I'll just go there by myself." Her expression was still calm, her movements were still dignified, without any trace of shyness.

Hua Qing couldn't help pursing her lips and laughing, thinking in her heart: After all, she is a person from the Jianghu, and her personality is completely different from that of the ladies in the city.

Wang Zhaojun walked towards the rockery alone, walking up the stone steps step by step.Before she reached the top, Hua Manlou turned sideways to "look" at her position, and said softly, "Miss Wang, you are back."

He is really good.

Wang Zhaojun thought he was walking very lightly, but he didn't expect to be noticed by him.

Hua Manlou seemed to know what she was thinking, and smiled softly: "I smell the fragrance of plum blossoms. The plum blossoms are not in bloom yet, so Miss Wang must be nearby."

For some reason, Wang Zhaojun suddenly thought of a summoner who once summoned him to fight side by side. His name was "Scent of a Woman".

She raised her hand and put it on her nose to sniff lightly.

Does it really have a taste?

She didn't smell it herself.

As she approached, she saw that there was a qin on the stone table in front of Huamanlou.He plucked the strings of the qin twice casually, the lingering sound was melodious and melodious.He thought for a while, put his hands on the surface of the piano, and plucked his fingers back and forth on the strings, and the ethereal and melodious music poured out, touching people's mind like flowing water.

He only played for a short time before stopping, concentrating on his breathing.

Wang Zhaojun did not hesitate to praise: "It sounds good."

Hua Manlou smiled, and said, "I'm showing my ugliness. It's the piano score that Brother Wu only got. I had nothing to do, so I tried to play it."

Wang Zhaojun wanted to say that he couldn't see with his eyes, so learning to play an instrument must consume more energy than other people.But she felt that she shouldn't bring up other people's flaws again and again, so she didn't say it.

Hua Manlou didn't notice her hesitation at all, and asked, "Miss Wang, how about going out with sister-in-law today? Have you encountered any trouble? If you need help, just tell me."

Wang Zhaojun finally remembered the purpose of his first visit to him, shook his head and replied: "No, today I went to many places with the eldest lady and saw many interesting things. The lady also helped me buy a lot of clothes."

Hua Manlou nodded, smiled without saying a word.

Wang Zhaojun said again: "Thank you Huamanlou, thank you and your family, thank you for taking care of me. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'm still in the mountains and forests, at a loss and at a loss." Then, Thinking of that old lady Yang, she couldn't help sighing.

Hua Manlou comforted: "Miss Wang, don't worry about it. I just think that if others need help, then Hua Manlou will definitely do their best to help."

It is true that he and her are obviously strangers, but they still sincerely extend a helping hand to her without hesitation.

Wang Zhaojun sighed sincerely: "Huamanlou, if you appear in the Canyon of Kings, you must be an excellent teammate."

Of course Hua Manlou didn't understand what she meant, so she showed a slightly puzzled expression.

Wang Zhaojun hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "We in the Canyon of Kings naturally want to help our teammates. But when the battle is unfavorable, it is common for us to abandon our teammates and run away." Her voice was very low, she was very embarrassed, and explained : "I have also abandoned my teammates, of course, I have also been abandoned by my teammates."

Hua Manlou was already stunned, and after a while, he asked, "According to what the girl said, the Canyon of Kings...is there often a battle?"

"Often?" Wang Zhaojun shook his head in denial, "Not often, but every day."

"It's day and night."

"Every hour."

Every time she said a word, Hua Manlou's brows became more frown.Seeing that his expression was different, Wang Zhaojun asked him uneasily, "What's wrong with you?"

Hua Manlou stroked the tail of the piano, and said sadly: "I just don't understand. Is it meaningful to fight day and night? Life is precious, and what are the people in the Valley of Kings for?"

Wang Zhaojun remembered that when they first met, he knew Yang Zhong died at his own hands, and he finally saw a clue—Hua Manlou probably didn't like killing.

She thought about it and said, "It's for winning."

"Win?" Hua Manlou murmured, very puzzled, "Win is that important to you?"

Wang Zhaojun denied it again: "It's not important to us, it's important to the summoners."

"Summoners, look forward to victory."

Fighting all the time, just to win?How to judge the winner or loser of such a battle?Are the people in the Canyon of Kings willing to live such a bloody life?

Huamanlou doesn't understand.

He even doubted that there is really such a place as the Canyon of Kings in this world?

If there was, I'm afraid it would have become famous in the world long ago.

A single thought of a person can often determine the direction of everything.Hua Manlou touched the tail of the truth in that split second, but he didn't realize it.He just thought that for a moment he felt that what Miss Wang said was a lie, it was really inappropriate.

He was a real gentleman, so the truth shook his head after a circle above his head, and flew away from him with fluttering wings.

They left Huafu three days later, and all the family members came to see them off.Because she had prepared a lot of things, Hua Ruling specially arranged for her servants to drive a carriage to take them back to Suzhou.Mrs. Hua took Wang Zhaojun's hand and gave Hua Qing a lot of instructions before letting Hua Qing help her into the carriage.

The horses in Huafu are all top-quality horses, and Huaping is also a good driver.Even so, they set off in the morning, and when they arrived in Suzhou City, it was already evening.

The horseshoe kicked on the bluestone road, and the sound was very crisp.Wang Zhaojun was listening intently, when Hua Manlou suddenly said, "We'll be there soon."

He explained: "On the street in front of Baihualou, there is an old man who sells candied haws. He always opens his stall at this time. I have already heard his yelling."

She had heard from Huamanlou before that he lived alone in Suzhou City, and the place he lived was called Baihualou.

The carriage stopped in front of Baihua Building, and after Huaping and the others got off the carriage, they drove the carriage to the back door.

The small building has two floors. There are rows of willow trees on both sides in front of the door. The pillars on the wall are painted red and white, which looks very elegant.Looking up upstairs, there is a plaque hanging with the inscription "Baihualou".A middle-aged woman came out of the building and said with a smile, "Master Seventh is back."

Hua Manlou hummed, and introduced to Wang Zhaojun: "This is Mrs. Li, who is responsible for taking care of my food." He then said to Mrs. Li, "This Miss Wang, will live here from today on."

Aunt Li saluted and said, "Young lady, if you want to eat anything, just tell me."

Wang Zhaojun was still wearing a bamboo hat, and it was inconvenient to take it off at this time, so he nodded at her and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Li."

The first floor of the small building is a huge hall, and the second floor is where Huamanlou lives in daily life.Mrs. Li went to tidy the room for Wang Zhaojun, while Huamanlou touched various flower pots on the balcony with a smile on her face.

Baihualou is just like its name, with potted flowers everywhere.

Wang Zhaojun thought, this fits Huamanlou's name very well.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't taken care of the love in her heart for a long time, Huamanlou almost touched the flowers upstairs, only then remembered that she still had a guest.He felt apologetic, even a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry Miss Wang, I was negligent and neglected you."

What's there to apologize for.

Wang Zhaojun has been sitting at the table behind him, slowly flipping through a book on the table.She was very curious about how Huamanlou would "read" the book, since he obviously couldn't read the words on it.

She heard Hua Manlou talking to her, looked up at him, and said, "It's okay."

Hua Manlou smiled, walked over and picked up the teapot on the table, saying that he was going to boil water to make tea.

His movements are very natural, like flowing clouds and flowing water, there is no pause between lifting the pot, turning around, and going downstairs, really like an ordinary normal person.

Even after seeing him for several days, Wang Zhaojun still finds it unbelievable.

She even wondered, if she was blind, would she live an optimistic and positive life like Hua Manlou?

I'm afraid not.

If she couldn't see it, how would she use her skills to hit the enemy?Prejudging only by feeling?

So she admired Huamanlou even more.

Mrs. Li was stunned when she saw Wang Zhaojun taking off her bamboo hat, and then she came over and said to her, "Miss Wang, the room has been cleaned up. I think many of the things Huaping brought in are for the girl's use, and they have already been cleaned." Put them away one by one. Miss, do you want to go and have a look?"

Thinking that Huamanlou would not come back immediately, Wang Zhaojun let her go.
