I paid enough money in Dunhuang City, and a caravan going to Chang'an agreed to take me with it.
I packed all my belongings into a carriage with four other people.
The so-called entire net worth is just that set of Loulan clothes.
My father once told me a lot about the scenery of Chang'an City, and I have imagined what Chang'an City looks like countless times, but I am still shocked by its majesty and solemnity.
I visually inspected the road I was walking on.
It was about fifteen feet wide.
The road was divided into three sections with water ditches.
The middle one was six to seven feet wide, and the side roads on both sides were about four feet wide.
When I first entered the city, the man driving the car told me with pride that the road in the middle was for the emperor, and the roads on both sides were for officials and civilians to walk.
As far as the eye can see, there are row upon row of beautiful mansions, with eaves that seem to reach to the horizon.
Various trees such as locust trees, elms, pines and cypresses are planted on both sides of the wide road.
The lush foliage and foliage add to the beauty of this imperial city.
Somewhat soft.
I held my package and kept walking along the street, immersed in the excitement of seeing Chang'an City for the first time.
Every corner of the house and every arched bridge amazed me.
I think I began to understand my father’s feelings a little bit.
It’s hard for someone who has grown up seeing such exquisite and beautiful things to fall in love with a “shabby” tent. , a place where either cattle or sheep are present.
I don’t know how long I walked, but it wasn’t until the sky turned dark that I realized I should find a place to rest.
Although I chose the cheapest inn, I only had enough money to stay for more than ten days.
After carefully counting the money twice under the vegetable oil lamp, I couldn't help but miss the days when I didn't have to spend money in the Western Regions.
How should I make a living in the future?
I was in a daze under the lamp, and suddenly I remembered that there was an extra charge for oil for the vegetable oil lamp.
I quickly put away my things, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
In the darkness, I felt sad for a while, then laughed again.
The city of Chang'an is so big and can support so many people.
Am I any worse than others?
I have hands and feet.
Am I going to starve to death?
It's unfounded worry.
But when I walked around Chang'an City three times, I began to doubt, can I really support myself?
Slaves, singing and dancing prostitutes, these all have to sell themselves.
I will definitely not sell myself and let others dominate my life.
I don't know how to embroider or make clothes.
I didn’t know anything that a woman should know, and the most troublesome thing was that I didn’t have a guarantor.
One shop heard that I knew how to settle accounts, and the wages I charged were only one-third of men’s wages.
The shrewd proprietress was very moved.
But when she asked me, "Is there anyone from Chang'an City who can be your guarantor?"
I shook my head, which made her also shake her head with great regret.
They can't hire someone who doesn't know the ins and outs.
I tried to find Xiao Huo and the others, thinking that at least they could be my guarantor, but when I asked the merchants one after another, they all shook their heads.
I had never seen such a spice merchant.
I was helpless and disappointed, and I blamed Xiao Huo a little.
It turned out to be the case. lied to me.
The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, and impatient shops have already planted dogwood trees at the door, and florists have also placed dogwood trees on their stalls.
A jar of chrysanthemum wine in the hotel has been set up outside the store to attract the attention of passers-by, and everyone is immersed in it.

In the joy of the holidays, and I was penniless.
I haven't eaten anything since yesterday, and I don't know where I will stay tonight.
The pungent scent of dogwood in the air, the elegant fragrance of chrysanthemums, and the joy on people's faces, none of this has anything to do with me.
I am alone in a busy street with people coming and going.
I carried the package and headed out of the city.
There is a birch forest to the west.
I plan to stay there tonight.
I can at least light a fire to keep myself warm.
If I'm lucky, I might be able to catch a rabbit or something.
Sleeping in the wild is a common occurrence for me, but being hungry is really uncomfortable.
When I was feeling depressed, I once wondered if I had come to the wrong place, thinking that if I pawned the Loulan dress in the package, I would have enough money to return to the Western Regions.
But then I felt very unwilling.
I am afraid that my father would never have thought that the daughter of the Han family whom he took great care of would not be able to survive in the Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty.
When I arrived at the birch forest, I found that there were many people who had the same idea as me.
Many beggars chose to rest here, eating and chatting in groups around the campfire.
I walked silently among the bonfires.
The aroma of the food made my stomach hurt.
I took a fancy to a big tree and was about to sleep next to it tonight.
A beggar beside the bonfire was already shouting.
He jumped up and cursed loudly: "Damn girl, do you understand the rules?
This is your grandfather's territory."
I turned around and stared at him angrily.
He didn't piss like a wolf to mark his sphere of influence.
Even if I didn't mean to offend, I didn't have to say bad words.
But after thinking about it, why should I care about such a fool like him, so I lowered my head and walked away, looking for another place.
The man next to him stared at me maliciously, licked his lips and said: "Girl, that area is already occupied by someone, but if you are willing to sing a song for me, I am not allowed to sleep with you whenever I am happy."
Let me give you some of my room so that you can sleep with me."
The group of beggars burst into laughter.
I turned to look at them, and was about to squat down and pull out the dagger hidden in my calf.
A little beggar held a bottle of wine in his hand, walked up to the three rogues, and said casually: "Sickhead, young master."
I was lucky today and got a bottle of good chrysanthemum wine from Yipinju.”
When several beggars heard this, they looked away from me and stared at the wine bottle in his hand.
The beggar who scolded me at first laughed and said, "You are not that big, but you are very clever.
No other beggar in this area can compare with you."
The little beggar sat down with a golden sword, and handed him the wine bottle casually, "You guys also have a drink, don't be polite to me, the gentlemen are having fun today, and they are celebrating the festival like the gentlemen."
The three beggars suddenly relaxed. , his face seemed to be shiny, he was shouting and punching and drinking, and he had completely forgotten my existence.
An old beggar with gray hair walked up to me and said: "Daughter, in this life, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome, and there is no anger that cannot be endured.
They all say things without meaning, so don't take it to heart.
If you don't dislike it, , accompany me, an old man, to warm up over the fire."
I have experienced so much warmth and coldness in human relationships in the past few days, but a few gentle words made my anger disappear.
I bit my lip and nodded, and followed the old beggar to his campfire.
He took out two steamed buns from the bag with a smile, roasted them on the fire, and looked around again to see if no one was paying attention.
A gourd was handed to me: "Drink some chrysanthemum wine first to warm yourself up, and the steamed buns will be ready later."
I hesitated and didn't reach out.
A rich man's bag of gold might not be that big of a deal, but the food in a beggar's hand was more expensive than gold.

The old beggar said with a straight face: "You think this is a beggar's thing?"
I shook my head, and he added: "Are you afraid that the wine will be strong?
Don't worry, this is chrysanthemum wine specially brewed by Yipinju for the Double Ninth Festival.
It is suitable for the whole family.
Drinking together, the taste is sweet but not too strong.”
I said: "We are neither relatives nor friends.
I can't thank that little brother enough for helping me out just now."
The old beggar looked at me carefully and said with a smile: "Who in this world doesn't have three disasters and five disasters?
Even the emperor still needs the help of the prime minister."
As he said that, he forced the gourd into my hand.
I held the wine bottle and whispered: " Thank you, Grandpa.”
Grandpa handed me the baked buns and said with a low smile: "It's so easy to take advantage of Gouwazi.
That pot of wine is mixed with water."
I tossed and turned at night but couldn't fall asleep.
Gou Wazi later told me that if I was not afraid of hardship, I could go to every house and knock on the back door to ask if someone wanted to wash clothes, because when he was begging, he had seen women knocking on the door to collect clothes for others to wash.
I have the strength, and I am not afraid of hardship, as long as I can support myself first.
I silently pray for good luck tomorrow.
As soon as it was light, I went into the city to try my luck.
Only after I entered the city did I remember that in my haste to leave, I had forgotten the package with my grandfather and Gou Wazi.
Then I thought about it, the only valuable thing inside was a set of clothes.
Anyway, they were all trustworthy people.
I made an appointment to go back to see them in the evening.
The most important thing now was to find a job.
I knocked on the door of each house, but was refused.
Later, a kind-hearted lady told me that the laundry was only done by acquaintances, not by random strangers.
I kept knocking at one house after another without giving up.
"The clothes in our courtyard are washed."
The burly man waved me away.
A woman dressed in a charming dress was about to go out.
When she passed by me, she heard me ask, "Are there any other chores?
I can do it, too."
Just give me a full meal.”
The man didn't say anything, but the woman stopped, looked me up and down, thought about it for a moment and asked, "You are a foreigner."
I nodded.
She asked: "How long have I been here in Chang'an?
I speak so well that I can't even recognize the foreign accent."
For the sake of possible job opportunities, I honestly replied: "It's been more than half a month.
I learn Chinese very quickly."
The woman nodded in surprise: "He seems to be a smart person.
Don't you have any relatives or acquaintances in Chang'an?"
I smiled bitterly and shook my head.
She smiled and said: "Yes, how could we end up in this situation if we had relatives and friends?
How about you help clean up the yard?"
Clean it up and I'll give you some buns to eat, if you like."
I was overjoyed and nodded vigorously: "Thank you, madam."

She smiled and said, "Just call me Hong Gu.
Good job, but we don't want to see you again in the future."
After I finished my work, Hong Gu smiled and praised me for my quick hands and feet.
She put a plate of steamed buns on the table and gave me a cup of hot tea.
I haven't eaten anything since morning and I am already so hungry that I feel so hungry.
He quickly grabbed one and ate it.
Honggu watched me eating happily while asking me questions.
When I was half full, I thought about Gou Wa Zi and the beggar grandpa, and asked Aunt Hong: "Can I take the remaining buns away?"
A look of surprise flashed across Hong Gu's face, "What's wrong?"
I said, "I want to save it for when I'm hungry at night."
She smiled with relief: "You can take a few sips of hot tea first, and I'll have someone wrap it up for you."
I took a few sips of tea and suddenly felt something was wrong.
My head started to feel dizzy and my hands and feet were a little weak.
Knowing in his heart that I was right, he stood up pretending to be casual and said, "My grandpa is still waiting for me to go back.
If the buns are wrapped, I will leave first."
Honggu also stood up and said with a smile: "Then walk slowly, I won't send you away."
I hurriedly walked out, and there were two big men standing at the door.
Without saying anything, I immediately pulled out the dagger, but my body was already staggering and about to fall.
Honggu leaned against the door frame and said with a smile: "When you are tired, just take a rest here.
I guess you don't have a grandpa waiting for you, so why worry?"
Two big men came over.
I wanted to assassinate them, but my vision went dark.
The dagger in my hand was snatched away by them.
I fell softly to the ground.
My last consciousness was when I heard Hong Gu say: "What a smart girl."
I'm afraid this girl is a prostitute.
She took the drug that caused her to fall down, but it took her so long to faint.
Give her some more and keep her under my guard, otherwise be careful with your skin."
I don’t know how long I was in coma.
When I woke up, I found that I was not the only one.
There was another girl who was locked up with me.
She had a delicate appearance and a quiet temperament.
When she saw me waking up, she quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to me.
I stared at her quietly without taking the cup from her hand.
Her eyes turned red, "There is no medicine in this water, and there is no need for it.
The guard here is very tight, you can't escape."
I said, "I'm not thirsty."
She turned around, put the cup back on the table, and then retreated to the couch opposite.
I moved around a bit, and I had no problem moving normally, but I still couldn't gain strength in my limbs.
It seemed like they had given me some other medicine.
After sitting quietly for a while and clearing my mind, I said to the girl opposite: "My name is Jin Yu, and I was drugged by a person named Hong Gu.
What about you?"
She said: "My name is Fang Ru.
She was sold here by my stepmother."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I couldn't care less about comforting her and asked quickly: "Do you know where this place is?
Why did they bring me here?"
Fang Ru's tears fell one after another, and she choked with sobs and said: "This is Luoyufang, a quite famous singing and dancing studio in Chang'an City.
I must have kidnapped you because you are beautiful."
When I heard this, I didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
From a wolf boy covered with fur to a slim girl now, my father's hard work has finally been recognized by outsiders.
Moreover, he is such a enchanting woman like Hong Gu.
It turns out that my beauty is also qualified.
Beauty is a disaster, but before I use my beauty to harm others, I harm myself first.
If you can be like Meixi, Daji and Baosi, eating and drinking, talking about love, playing and having fun, and finally let the whole country bury them in their honour, then the harm will be done, I agree, but What do I mean?
I asked: "Are they asking us to sell our bodies?"
Fang Ru said: "This is a singing and dancing house, not a prostitution house.
The girls here only sell their singing and dancing talents.
But it can be said that as long as someone pays enough money or meets someone with some power, you will still be unable to escape even if you don't want to.
Bad luck.
Unless someone redeems your life, or your singing and dancing skills are outstanding and your status is special, even the best entertainers in Chang'an City can enter and leave the palace."
I shook my head and smiled bitterly.
Just as I was about to ask Fang Ru something more, the door suddenly opened and two big men walked in.
Fang Ru immediately cried and shouted: "I won't go, I won't go."
Hong Gu swayed her waist lightly and walked in with each step.
She smiled charmingly and said: "I have been beaten many times and have been beaten many times.
Why don't you remember it?
Today is not up to you.
You dressed up and went to learn from the sisters."
Stay tuned."
After saying that, he winked at the two big men, and the big man immediately dragged Fang Ru towards the outside.
Fang Ru's hands were dancing wildly, trying to grab everything she could, as if this could change her fate, but it was no use.
The quilt was pulled out of her hands by the big man as she slid off the bed; only five shallow nail marks were left on the door frame, and her hands finally came loose with all their strength.
I watched the scene before me without blinking.
Hong Gu looked me up and down and exclaimed: "You should know where this place is.
I'm not surprised or scared.
I'm not crying or making trouble.
Are you accepting your fate or do you have ulterior motives?"
I was silent for a while and said: "Is it useful to be afraid?
Is it useful to cry?
Can fear and tears make you let me go?
I'm afraid that in exchange for it, I will get a whip or other punishment.
Since the final result is the same, then I can at least Choose a less painful path.
I am willing to obey your orders from now on."
Hong Gu was stunned for a moment, and stared at me with slightly narrowed eyes, "Have you ever seen people who accidentally fell into the water?
They panicked because they didn't know how to swim, and struggled to hope to surface.
But in fact, the more they struggled, they sank.
The faster they go, the more often they end up drowning instead of drowning.
When they got stuck, water got into their noses and they choked to death.
In fact, they didn't know that even people who couldn't swim could float on the water if they were willing to relax their bodies.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
What's even more ridiculous is that many people who fell into the water were very close to the shore. , I can often walk back to the shore while holding my breath.”
Hong Gu and I looked at each other for a long time, and both of them had a smile on their lips, but they had different meanings.
She pointed at her temples and asked, "What's your name?"
I said: "Jinyu."
Honggu nodded, "I'll send my girl to take you to my room later.
If you want anything, you can tell her.
I'm busy now."
As she said that, she turned around charmingly.
He left, but stopped for a moment, turned his head and said: "Actually, I It should be considered as saving your life.
If it weren't for me, you would either end up starving on the streets or begging for a living, but your appearance will definitely prevent you from escaping your bad luck.
That's what is really filthy and dirty."
After that, he ignored it.
I reacted and walked away with a twist of my waist.
I learned to dance, learn to sing, learn to play the flute, and even learn embroidery.
Singing and dancing is the easiest for me.
The Huns have a lively and unrestrained personality and love singing and dancing.
I have danced around the campfire thousands of times since I was a child, and I have been taught by the best dancers in the Xiongnu palace.
Although the dance postures are different from those of the Han Dynasty.
Different, but the dance is similar.
On the contrary, it was the flute embroidery that made me very laborious.
I don’t know what other girls think of this, but I slowly learned the taste myself, and often practice the flute while alone.
Especially at night, I like to play the flute to the moon, but unfortunately I can't even play a piece of music now.
It's music rather than a ghost cry.
But I enjoyed myself very much, always thinking that Brother Wolf would like it, and I would play it to him during the full moon in the future.
The girls in the shop complained to Honggu many times, but Honggu only favored me.
She even scolded the complainer, saying that if I had been half as diligent, they would have become famous in Chang'an City.
Logically speaking, I should hate Honggu, but this person has a bright and charming appearance, a shrewd but not stingy personality, and her words often have a thought-provoking flavor.
I really can't dislike her.
The days slipped by without leaving any trace, and when I could barely manage to sing a white-headed chant, the new year was almost here.
New Year is a festival that belongs to family members.
Even the most romantic men have to go home for reunion at this time.
The garden, which has been singing and dancing all the time, suddenly becomes deserted.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this desertedness that a house full of women with no relatives or friends is more and more determined to liven up the New Year.
I don’t know whether to convince myself or to prove to others, even Hong Gu, who seems to have seen through the world.
In this way, a lot of money was spent, and the interior and exterior of the house were decorated with red and green colors.
It was not beautiful, but it was definitely lively and festive.
On the evening of the 30th, in front of me, Hong Gu loudly ordered the nursing home to lock the doors and windows and guard the courtyard gate.
Then he ordered his mother-in-law to heat the house, summoned more than twenty girls in the garden to sit around the big couch, arranged the dishes, and drank wine.
Everyone, either because they were happy or because they were sad, drank with all their might.
Even Fang Ru, who had always been depressed and unsociable, drank without hesitation.
I didn’t have the capacity to drink, so I drank a lot of strong sorghum wine.
After three or five glasses of wine, I felt weak and dizzy.
I crawled onto the couch and lay down haphazardly.
When I woke up a little, I felt stuffy.
I felt so uncomfortable that when I opened my eyes, I saw that Fang Ru was sleeping soundly with her head on my chest, using me as a pillow.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Looking around, everyone was sleeping staggeringly.
You were pressing my legs, and I was leaning on your back.
The quilt was half covered and half uncovered.
Fortunately, the room was warm, so I couldn't freeze.
There was a sense of peace in the messy room.
I gently raised Fang Ru's head, stuffed a pillow for her, closed my eyes and fell asleep again.
Just as I was a little confused, I suddenly heard shouting outside, and soon someone came knocking on the door.
All the girls muttered, pulled the quilts and went back to sleep, but Honggu immediately jumped off the kang and faced me.
He smiled, motioned for me to continue sleeping, wiped his hair, put on his coat, and walked out of the house quickly.
I straightened my clothes, got off the bed and went to the window to look out.
Hong Gu was saluting two men, one old and one young.
The older man looked arrogant and just nodded slightly.
The young man asked Hong Gu what she was talking about.
I vaguely heard something like "The woman looked like the owner of the boat three months ago."
I couldn't see Hong Gu's expression clearly, but I felt that she was a little frightened.
As she spoke, the two men moved inward.
As he came, Hong Gu wanted to stop her, but she shrank her hand in fear.
He ran over quickly and shouted: "Everyone, get up, hurry up!"
The girls on the kang turned over lazily.
A few of the drunk ones got up limply and looked around with confused expressions.
A few of the drunk ones were still lying down.
I saw that the situation was not right, so I hurriedly pushed them away and said, "Get up quickly, something is wrong."
Everyone woke up one after another.
Hong Gu raised the curtain, and the two men came in one after another, looking carefully at the faces of the girls in the room.
Sister Shuangshuang, the best singer in the house, obviously recognized the visitor.
She, who had always been a bit cold and reserved, actually smiled and saluted the two of them: "We have distinguished guests coming on the first day of the new year.
It seems that everything in our garden should go smoothly this year." , Shuang'er is here to wish Mr.
Wu a happy new year and good health."
Mr.
Wu's tense face relaxed slightly, then immediately tensed up again.
He nodded slightly to Sister Shuangshuang, but still looked at each of them one by one.
I had been hiding in the corner.
When Master Wu looked at me, I smiled and saluted him, but his expression changed immediately and he stared at me closely.
While he looked at me carefully, he asked Honggu: "Where did she come from and when did she enter the garden?"
Honggu's face turned pale and hesitated without speaking.
Mr.
Wu shouted: "Are you really not willing to die if you don't tell the truth at this time?"
Honggu trembled, lowered her head and replied: "She came from other places, three months ago.
's garden.”
Mr.
Wu looked at me and asked, "What Hong Girl said is the truth."
I thought that except for the most important thing, Hong Gu didn't tell the truth, so he replied, "It's the truth."
Mr.
Wu looked at me carefully a few more times and murmured to himself: "It shouldn't be wrong.
The appearance, time, and identity all match."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He turned to tell Hong Gu: "The owner of the boat has been looking for the person for half a month.
It's her.
I'm not a person close to the boat owner, so I don't know.
It's your own fault.
I'll wait for you outside.
Master Wu quickly walked out of the house.
Hong Gu bowed deeply to Master Wu's back: "Master Wu's great kindness, Hong'er will remember it closely."
Honggu was silent for a moment and shouted: "Everyone except Xiaoyu, get out."
Sister Shuangshuang glanced at me and led everyone away quickly.
Hong Gu walked a few steps to me, with a complicated expression on her face, and suddenly knelt down.
I hurriedly knelt down to help her, "Hong Gu, don't be afraid.
I don't know who Mr.
Wu is, and I don't know what he means by being the owner of the boat.
Anyway, don't worry, there is no grudge between you and me.
I only know that you have provided me with good food, accommodation, and fun in the past few months, and I have also learned a lot of new things.
"I have just arrived in Chang'an, and having another friend will be more convenient in the future.
Besides, Hong Gu has not done anything to me.
Actual harm must be spared and spared.
Honggu's eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and her voice was slightly choked, "Xiaoyu, it's rare that you have such a big heart.
I won't say any more nonsense.
This is what Honggu owes you.
Honggu will write it down first."
He took out a bottle of medicine that he had kept close to his chest and poured one pill out for me.
I took it and put it in my mouth.
Aunt Hong hurriedly handed me some water.
After watching me take it, she said: "After a cup of tea, your strength began to slowly recover.
But because it took a long time to give you the medicine, So it may take four or five days to recover as before.”
I smiled and said, "I can't wait."
Honggu nodded gratefully, twisted the handkerchief for me to wipe my face, arranged my hair, and arranged my clothes for me, and took my hand to go out. .
When Mr.
Wu saw us coming out, he glanced at the hands that Hong Gu and I were holding, his expression softened a lot, and he said with a smile: "Then let's go."
Hong Gu and I rode in the same carriage, following Mr.
Wu’s carriage.
I still don’t quite understand what happened.
I only know that we are going to meet someone.
This person seems to be looking for someone like me.
And this person seems to have a high status in Chang’an City, because even he is not allowed to get close.
All of his subordinates can make the well-known Shuangshuang Sisters in Chang'an City polite and courteous, and make the shrewd and powerful Hong Gu fearful.
"Honggu, who is the owner of the boat that Mr.
Wu mentioned?"
Honggu said: "You really don't know the owner of Shifang."
I shook my head, "I just arrived in Chang'an and I have no relatives.
How could I know such a noble person?
If I had known him, would I still be so curious?"
Hong Gu said in surprise: "It's really strange.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The owner of the Fang has not been involved in the business of Chang'an City for several years.
The garden I run is also Shi Fang's industry.
I pay a certain amount of money to Shi Fang every year based on the quality of the business.
In the past, Shi Fang would still It interferes with how we lowly people run our business, but as long as we abide by the rules in the past few years, Shi Fang doesn’t care about anything else.”
"What are the rules?"
I asked.
Honggu blushed, "There are a lot of rules.
For example, you are not allowed to kidnap women into the industry."
I wanted to laugh but I quickly held it back.
No wonder she was so scared.
It turned out to be a taboo.
I held her hand and said, "I will never tell anyone about this again.
But in the future..."
Hong Gu hurriedly said: "Once is enough, and never again.
I am also too impatient.
I always want to be the most popular song and dance studio in Chang'an City.
Although Shuangshuang's singing skills are outstanding, the others are not so good.
I have always wanted to find one.
Top-notch talents, but it is always difficult There is Ruyi, the appearance is good, but the body is not necessarily good.
Both are good, but the opportunity is bad.
I saw you that day and got greedy.
I was obsessed and made a big mistake.
I only worried about the consequences if Shi Fang found out. , but the mistake has been made.”
Seeing that Hong Gu’s tone was sincere, I quickly changed the subject with a smile: “Hong Gu is praising me in a different way.
I will go to see the owner of Shi Fang later, but I don’t know anything about Shi Fang.
What can Hong Gu do?”
Tell me about Shi Fang?"
After hearing this, Hong Gu thought for a while and said, "Actually, I know very little, because Shi Fang has always kept a low profile.
I have been in Chang'an City since I was a child, and I am considered a broad-minded person, but I have never met the owner of Fang." .I heard from the old people that Shifang started out as a jade businessman.
That was something that happened during the reign of Emperor Wen.
Later, the shipbuilding business grew bigger and bigger.
When Emperor Jing ascended the throne and Empress Dowager Dou presided over the government, almost all the big gem and jade shops, silk spice shops, restaurants and gambling houses in Chang'an City Pavilion, dance studio, not Shi Fang started it alone, but Shi Fang cooperated with other businesses.
But then Shi Fang suddenly stopped expanding the business.
Even the original business gradually started to let go, and things became more low-key and secretive.
In the past three or four years, there was basically no news about Shi Fang.
Movement, if not Every year I have to report to Lord Wu and pay the bills.
I have almost forgotten that my garden belongs to Shi Fang.
But after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, although on the surface it seems that Shi Fang is not as big as in Chang'an City.
But no businessman dares to offend Shi Fang easily."
While Hong Gu was talking, I was concentrating on the whole story.
This person ordered someone to find me, and if he could tell me my appearance, he must have seen me.
The merchant from Chang'an is so mysterious.
A scene of me and Xiao Huo riding a horse together suddenly flashed through my mind.
Could it be him?
The carriage slowly stopped in front of a house.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Honggu's face immediately changed, becoming dignified and solemn.
The charm that used to flow between her brows and eyes was gone.
After Master Wu saw us getting off the bus, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
From the outside, you can't tell that this house is any different from the houses of ordinary wealthy businessmen.
The word "Shi Mansion" is simply engraved on the door plaque.
Mr.
Wu tapped the door knocker twice and immediately stepped aside and stood with a bow.
Aunt Hong quickly stood behind Mr.
Wu and stood with her hands lowered.
I curled my lips at such a big rule and followed the example and stood under Hong Gu.
The door opened silently, and an old man with a long beard looked towards us.
Mr.
Wu immediately bowed and saluted: "Old man, Xiao Wu wishes you well."
Aunt Hong followed suit.
The old man waved his hand to let him get up, and his eyes fell on me, "This is the person you found."
Mr.
Wu smiled and replied: "Yes, I searched and searched, but I didn't expect that he was right under my nose.
The situation is probably right.
The old man looks right."
The old man said: "I don't know if that's right or not.
The two who were sent first were sent back just after entering the door."
As he said this, he turned around and led the way.
Mr.
Wu hurriedly lowered his head to follow.
Aunt Hong and I also followed behind and entered the gate.
The old man led us to a small hall.
After saying "Sit down," he turned and walked out.
A young boy about ten years old held a tea tray and served us tea.
Mr.
Wu actually stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.
Although Hong Gu and I were surprised, we followed the same instructions.
The boy served the tea and left with a slight smile.
As soon as he went out, the old man walked in again with a smile on his face.
Master Wu immediately stood up and asked, "But right?"
The old man said: "By the way, you go back first.
The owner of the boat will decide whether you will be rewarded or punished later."
After saying that, he ignored Mr.
Wu and Aunt Hong and said to me, "Girl, come with me."
I looked at Hong Gu, who nodded to me and motioned for me to follow quickly.
Because I was also very curious about whether this grand and mysterious boat owner was Xiao Huo, I stopped hesitating and immediately followed the old man. .
After turning around the house in front, I walked through a small round door and walked between the two walls for a while, and my eyes suddenly opened up.
The promenade is winding and stretches across the lake.
I don’t know where it leads.
Because it is a severe winter, I can only see a smooth ice surface and willow and peach trees without green leaves on the shore.
However, the view is broad and refreshing.

This house is unique.
The front is just like an ordinary house layout, but the back is so extraordinary.
After crossing the lake, the colors around you become vivid.
Although it is the coldest month of winter, the bamboo forest is still full of vitality, and the verdant green brings a sense of excitement.
The mood also brightened.
The old man looked back and saw my expression, and said with a smile: "If you like it, come back and play again.
I also love this bamboo forest.
It is cool in summer and full of life in winter.
This is the Bamboo House, and there are also Plum Garden and Orchid House along the lake.
And Kikuya."
I smiled and nodded, ran a few steps and rushed to his side.
At the end of the bamboo forest is an exquisite courtyard, with the door half open.
The old man whispered to me: "Go."
I saw that the old man had no intention of going in, so I saluted him and he waved me away.
In the corner of the yard, several large bluestones are piled up irregularly, with a large clump of bamboo planted in the middle, and a few white pigeons perched on it.
The green bamboo and white pigeons contrast with each other, making the bamboo green and pigeon white.
A man in green clothes was sitting facing the sun, with a white dove lying on his lap.
There was a charcoal stove at his feet.
The water on it had been boiling for an unknown period of time, and the water vapor escaped in large clouds.
The cold quickly condensed into smoke, making his still figure become a little erratic.
Whether it is in the desert or in Chang'an City, whenever he is there, no matter how ordinary the scenery is, it will become a landscape of its own because of him, making it unforgettable.
The scene in front of me made me afraid to disturb him.
I followed his gaze and looked up at the sun in the sky.
Even though it was winter sunlight, it was a bit dazzling.
I squinted and turned to look at him, but he was looking at me. , his pupils are like black gems, radiant.
He pointed to the bamboo chair beside him, smiled and asked, "Is Chang'an fun?"
His simple but familiar greeting suddenly warmed my heart, and I was so full of questions that I suddenly didn’t bother to ask them, because these questions were not important at all.
What was important was that he and I met here again.
I sat down next to him briskly, "I was busy feeding my stomach as soon as I came here, and then I stayed in Honggu's garden all day and didn't play anywhere."
He pursed his lips slightly and smiled, "I think you are doing well.
As for Hong Gu, now that you are standing out, you look a bit like a lady in Chang'an City."
I remembered his embarrassment when I first met him by the Crescent Moon Spring, feeling a little embarrassed and a little annoyed, "I've always been good.
It's just that a man needs clothes and a horse needs a saddle."
A young boy came out of the house with his head down and held a small square table.
He placed the square table in front of us and brought me a cup of tea.
When I took the tea, I casually glanced at his face and immediately opened my eyes, "Dog."
"Baby" Gouwazi said to me seriously with a straight face: "Call me Shi Feng from now on, Gouwazi, don't do it anymore.
That's what happens when a hero is in trouble."
I looked at his serious look, held back my laughter, and kept saying He responded: "Yes, Shi Feng, Master Shi, why are you here?"
He glanced at me angrily, "Master Jiu brought me back."
After saying that, he lowered his head and retreated.
Master Jiu said: "Xiao Feng had no choice but to pawn the clothes you left with them because his grandfather was seriously ill.
It happened that the person in charge of the pawn shop had followed me to the Western Regions that day and had seen the clothes and reported the matter.
Come up.
I saw that Xiaofeng was kind-hearted and smart, and was a rare business talent, so I kept him by my side."

I nodded.
It turned out that it was from Xiaofeng that I learned that I was "in trouble" in Chang'an.
"Grandpa's illness has recovered."
Master Jiu put his hand close to the stove to warm it, "You are old, have no fixed place to live, and are hungry and full.
It is not a serious illness.
Now you just need to take good care of you.
I heard Xiaofeng said that he has been worried about you.
Look back.
Go and see him."
I said, "I would have gone even if you didn't tell me."
He asked: "Aunt Hong, is there any trouble for you?"
I quickly said: "No."
"Why are you nervous?"
he asked with a smile.
"Who knows what your rules are?
If you are like the Western Region, you will cut off one of your hands at every turn.
It would be a pity for a beauty like Hong Gu."
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "This matter is not just a grudge between you and Hong Gu.
If you let it go this time, I'm afraid someone else will do it in the future.
Those weak women will be the unlucky ones."
I looked sideways at him: "Aunt Hong has promised me that she will never do it again.
But there is a way to have both ends."
He suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Let Old Wu take care of this matter.
His people are in trouble, and I don't have to waste time here on his behalf."
His original expression was upright and gentle, but these few words carried a A hint of joking, a hint of schadenfreude, and I burst out laughing.
The winter sun set early and it was already getting cold.
I glanced at his legs and said with a smile, "I feel a little cold."
He picked up the white dove, raised his hand, and the dove spread its wings and flew away.
He stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation and pushed the wheelchair towards the door of the house.
I wanted to reach out to help him, but suddenly I recalled the scene when I first saw him getting off the carriage, so I quickly retracted my hand.
When I was approaching the door, the door suddenly opened slowly, but there was no one inside.
I looked around in surprise, and he explained with a smile: "There is a mechanism on the ground in front of the door.
If the wheelchair is out of date, if you touch the mechanism, the door will open automatically. " I took a careful look at the ground under my feet, but couldn't see anything strange, so I followed him into the house with admiration in my heart.
The entire house has been specially designed, with no thresholds, and everything is placed within easy reach of people sitting down.
The table is not the low table that is popular in the Han Dynasty today, but is high enough for someone to sit in a wheelchair.
I don’t know if he was the first person to use Hu tables and chairs in Chang’an City.
He asked me to sit down.
When I saw the fried dumplings on the table, I remembered that I hadn't eaten since I got up.
I swallowed my saliva and was looking at the dumplings, but my stomach was already impatient, "Gugu."
"The ground screamed several times.
He was making tea, and when he heard the sound, he turned to look at me.
I said sheepishly, "Have you ever heard the sound of a hungry stomach?
I want to eat that plate of steamed buns."
He smiled with a smile: "It's for the Chinese New Year.
It's fine for eating and playing, but it's too greasy to eat as a meal.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Tell the kitchen to prepare a meal for you.
What do you want to eat?"
Before I was happy for a long time, I frowned again.
I didn't know how to order what to eat.
After thinking for a while, Yu Yu said: "Whatever, the most important thing is to have meat, big and big pieces of meat.
Don't be like Hong Gu's place, where the good meat is cut into shreds or dices.
It's still fresh after eating it once or twice."
It’s been really frustrating for a long time.”
He smiled and pulled a rope in the corner, and Xiaofeng ran in quickly.
He ordered: "Let the kitchen cook a roasted whole elbow, and prepare two vegetarian dishes for delivery."
He glanced at me and added: "Hurry up."
He put the tea tray on his legs and wheeled his wheelchair over.
I glanced at him and turned a blind eye to the tea that seemed to be about to splash out.
I picked up a piece of rice and ate it.
He put a cup of tea in front of me.
I immediately picked it up, blew on it, and took a sip with the steamed bun.
He seemed quite happy, and took a sip from the teacup, "I rarely have guests.
This is the first time I make tea for someone, so just drink it as you please."
I ate something in my mouth and nodded vaguely, "You have a lot of brothers and sisters in your family, right?
Is there a Tenth Master down there?"
He said calmly: "I am the only one left in the family.
My father hopes that the family will be prosperous, so he has ordered everyone to call me Master Ninth since he was a child, for good luck.
Now that I am used to calling me, although it is not as my father wished, I am too lazy to ask them to change their name."
I swallowed the food in my mouth, "In addition to me, there is a pack of wolves at home.
The one you saw that day was just my brother."
There was a smile on his face, "I heard from the people below that your name is Jin Yu."
I nodded, "What's your name?"
"Meng Ximo."
I was surprised and said: "Your surname is not Shi, are you the owner of Shi Fang?"
"Who told you that the owner of Shifang was named Shi?"
I stuck out my tongue, "I saw Shifu written on the door, so I took it for granted.
West Desert, the desert in the west, has a very unusual name for the Central Plains."
He smiled and said: "Your name is Jin Yu, but I haven't seen you Jin Yu rich."
I smiled slightly and said, "Not now, but I will in the future."
Xiaofeng came in carrying a food box.
As soon as he opened the lid, I could smell the fragrant aroma.
I rushed to the table in a few steps.
Suddenly I remembered that the owner had not spoken yet and turned to look at him.
He said gently: "Hurry up and eat it while it's hot.
I'm not hungry now, so I won't eat with you."
I sat down and ate according to the situation.
The millet rice and vegetarian vegetables beside me were not touched at all, and I just ate with one elbow.
He turned the wheelchair to the opposite side of me, pushed the green vegetables that I had pushed aside, and pushed them back in front of me, "Eat some green vegetables."
I glanced at the green vegetables and ignored them, and he added, "Girls eat more green vegetables, and they look better."
Become watery."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I was stunned for a moment, is there such a thing?
His serious look didn't seem like he was trying to coax me.
Looking at the attractive-smelling elbow, and then at the bland-flavored vegetables, he struggled for a long time between beauty and deliciousness, and finally picked up the vegetables.
He turned to look out the window with a smile.
People who have a full meal are always happy.
I held my full stomach and smelled the fragrance of tea in front of me, and felt that the happiness in life is nothing more than this.
While drinking tea, I made some calculations in my mind.
Finally, I put down the teacup, cleared my throat and looked at him with a smile.
He indicated with his eyes that I should speak if I had anything to say.
"Well, you see, I lived well at Hong Gu's place, had good food, and could learn a lot of things.
But now that you are making such a fuss, Hong Gu will definitely not dare to keep me here anymore.
Now I I don’t have much money.
As the saying goes, a good man does what he does.
I think you are very impressive, so you will definitely be responsible for me.”
I finished speaking without blushing, and looked at him eagerly.
He stared at me with a smile and didn't say anything for a long time, but my face started to get hotter and hotter.
I looked away and looked at the ground and said: "I can read, do arithmetic, have strength, and I'm not stupid.
Look at you.
Please ask for help in the shop below."
"You want to stay in Chang'an" "I just came here and I don't want to leave yet.
I don't know when I will leave."
"You can live here first and I'll see if there's anything suitable for you.
You can also think about what you like to do and what you want to do."
My heart dropped to the ground, and I stood up and saluted him, "Thank you very much.
I won't live in vain.
I can do what Xiaofeng can do."
He smiled and shook his head, "You are different from Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng is Shifang's apprentice and is now trying to temper him."
I said: "What about me?"
He hesitated slightly and said, "You are my guest."
I felt a little disappointed, but he added, "An old friend reunited again."
I lowered my head and pursed my lips without speaking.
In a few days, I have looked around Shi Mansion inside and out, and I also saw the man in purple and the man in black that I saw last time at Crescent Moon Spring.
One was named Shi Jinyan and the other was named Shi Shenxing.
When I heard their names, I smiled secretly.
They are really good names.
One makes up for the shortcomings, and the other is worthy of the name.
When the two of them saw me living in the Bamboo House, Jinyan yelled, "How is it possible that Master Jiu likes peace and quiet?
Xiaofeng and the others can't stay here at night.
You said you wanted to live in the Bamboo House, and Master Jiu will let you stay."
But Shen Xing just looked at me deeply, and then stared at the ground motionless.
He changed his name to "No", which is definitely not an exaggeration.
The two of them, plus Shi Tianzhao, who was in charge of Shifang's accounting, were responsible for almost all of Shifang's business.
The three of them would come to the Zhuguan one after another every morning to detail their business dealings with Master Jiu, for different lengths of time.
Xiaofeng and three other boys of similar age often listen in the house.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The four names happen to be Feng, Yu, Lei and Dian.
When they were discussing business, I consciously stayed as far away from the Bamboo House as possible.
Today, because I was thinking about Hong Gu and the others, I simply avoided Shi Mansion.
It had been snowing heavily for the past two days, making it difficult to travel.
Today it happened to stop snowing so I could go see them.
"Girl Yu, why are you so thinly dressed?
It's not cold even when it snows.
I'll ask my girl to find some clothes for you."
Uncle Shi, who led us into the mansion that day, was nagging while ordering someone to drive me.
I jumped, waved my hands and said with a smile: "As long as I'm not hungry, I'm not afraid of the cold, this day is nothing to me."
Uncle Shi smiled and asked me to come back early.
Although the snow has stopped, the sky has not cleared up.
There are still lead-colored clouds accumulating one after another, and the gray sky is so low that it seems like it is about to fall.
The snow on the ground is very thick, and wherever the wind passes, it picks up snow foam and sends it directly to people.
Most of the pedestrians on the road couldn't afford to ride in the carriage, so they all tried their best to huddle up and shrink their necks, walking carefully on the snow.
Occasionally, a horse-drawn carriage passing by would splash snow on the ground, and pedestrians who couldn't dodge would often be covered in half-melted black snow.
I raised my voice and told the coachman to shout louder, so that pedestrians would be prepared and drive more slowly when passing by pedestrians.
The coachman responded loudly.
The garden door was closed tightly, and the two red lanterns that used to be lit no matter night or day were gone.
I patted the door, and after a while someone inside shouted: "The door is closed these days."
Just as he was saying this, the woman who opened the door saw that it was me and quickly shut up.
He turned his head with a strange expression and called Hong Gu in a loud voice.
Hong Gu ran out in a hurry, held my hand and said with a smile: "You are really thoughtful, and you still want to come see me."
I asked: "What's wrong, why don't you do business?"
Hong Gu took me and sat down next to the charcoal stove, and sighed: "It's not me who caused the trouble.
Mr.
Wu is worried and doesn't know what to do with me.
He is trying to figure out the meaning of the superiors, and it seems that he has to do something heavy and easy.
It’s hard to explain.
I heard that I haven’t been able to sleep well these days, but I can’t do anything about it, but I can’t still open the door to do business in a good way, so I was ordered to close the door first.”
I laughed, "That's because Mr.
Wu is partial to you and doesn't want you to suffer, so he is in a dilemma and trying to think of a way out."
Hong Gu reached out and tapped my forehead, "Then I have to thank you, otherwise it's because Mr.
Wu wants to protect you."
Neither can I.
By the way, have you met the boat owner?
Why did he ask you what you look like and how old you are?"
I said: "There are so many sisters in the garden and they still eat at you.
You don't care about your own business, but you are here to inquire about these things."
Honggu said with a smile: "Okay, if you don't want to tell me, I won't ask.
But at least you can tell me why the boat owner is looking for you.
Didn't you say that you have no relatives in Chang'an and no relatives at home?"
I pursed my lips and smiled, "We have met before, so we are old acquaintances, but I didn't know that he was also in Chang'an."
Honggu spread her hands and sighed: "It's true that God's calculations are worse than those of others.
No matter how smart I am, But you can’t fight with the sky.”

The two of them were laughing around the stove, when a little girl opened the curtain and rushed in.
Without any courtesy, she hurriedly said: "Miss Shuangshuang went out.
The slave couldn't stop her, and she was scolded."
Honggu asked with a straight face: "What did she say?"
The girl lowered her head and said: "She said it was unreasonable because she would not do business alone.
If she doesn't do it today, she won't do it tomorrow.
Then what would she eat in the future?
She also said that Tianxiangfang paid a big price.
She was still thinking about her old relationship. , Now I think it’s better to go.
It is said that a woman’s youth is limited, but she has spent her whole life focusing on these few years and cannot afford to waste it.”
Honggu's face was ugly at first, but after hearing this, her expression softened and she sighed softly and ordered the girl to go down.
I asked: "Is Tianxiangfang Shifang's business?"
Honggu said: "It used to be, but it's not now.
I don't know what happened.
In the past two years, it has become more and more popular.
In Shifang's song and dance studio, each family only cares about their own affairs.
I've seen it Soon, it will become the only one in the city of Chang'an.
I am a subordinate, but I don't know what the owner of the boat means, but I let it take over. " Honggu stared at the charcoal fire in silence for a while, then stood up with a smile and said: "Let's not talk about these troublesome things.
Besides, it's not my turn to worry about that.
I have been bored in the house these days.
It rarely snowed for two days.
It's just right."
It’s a great day to enjoy plum blossoms.
Since there’s no business going on, I’ll just call the girls and go out to relax.
“I’ll be busy.
Honggu and I were riding in the same car.
Honggu was afraid of the cold.
She was wrapped in a fox fur cloak and had embroidered gloves on her hands.
She was envious when she saw that I was only wearing a cotton blouse over my dark clothes.
But what she envies is not my good health, but her envy that I can still have a "slender figure" when everyone is wrapped up like a bun in the cold weather.
When the carriage was about to leave the city gate, there was a sudden noise.
Groups of guards raised their guns to separate the pedestrians.
Passers-by stopped and hid on the side of the road.
Our car also stopped in front of a store.
For a moment, People yelled and horses neighed, and the scene was very chaotic.
I raised the curtain curiously and looked out.
Hong Gu smiled steadily and said, "Silly girl, you will never see such a scene in Chang'an City in the future.
You have never seen the emperor pass the imperial road.
That scene and formation are so unique."
Amazing” As she spoke, several people in the distance were already trotting from the city gate.
I tilted my head and looked at them carefully.
From a distance, they seemed to be young.
They were all dressed in rich clothes, their horses were handsome, and they were high-spirited.
They are young, wealthy, and have a bright future.
They indeed occupy the most popular places in the world.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I was suddenly shocked.
That person with a cold and handsome face, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes was none other than Xiao Huo.
Although his clothes and demeanor were far different from those in the desert, I believed that I had not admitted my mistake.
Several other teenagers were joking and talking while riding horses, but he kept his lips tightly shut and looked into the distance.
It was obvious that although he was here, his heart was not here.
Honggu probably saw my surprised expression and asked quickly: "What's wrong?"
I pointed at Xiao Huo and asked: "Who is he?"
Hong Gu covered her mouth and chuckled, "Yu'er's vision is really good.
Although these people are all princes and nobles, he is the most unusual.
Moreover, he has not yet been married, and has not even decided on a marriage. " I glanced at Aunt Hong, "Aunt Hong is a very good matchmaker.
It's such a pity that she got into the wrong profession."
Aunt Hong pointed at Xiao Huo with a smile and said, "This man's aunt is a queen, and his uncle is an official."
He was granted the title of General, and his reputation spread far and wide throughout the Western Regions of the Xiongnu.
His name was Huo Qubing.
He is a well-known overlord in Chang'an City.
To outsiders, he looks taciturn and has no emotions.
However, it is said that he has an extremely arrogant temper.
Even his uncle dared to contradict him in front of everyone.
However, he chose to follow the emperor's temperament and protect him in everything, which angered Chang'an.
No one in the city dares to offend him."
I stared at his figure on the horse, and it was hard to describe the feeling in my heart.
When I was most anxious in Chang'an City, I hoped to find him, but I didn't.
When I entered the Shifu, I thought it would be him I saw at the end of the bamboo forest through the long corridor, but it was still not him.
But at the moment when I least expected it, he appeared.
Although I had already thought that his identity was unusual, I never thought that he would be the nephew of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and General Wei Qing.
He seemed to be aware of the situation on the horse, and turned his head to look in our direction.
His eyes passed through the crowd, and I suddenly lowered the curtain.
Honggu teased me several times on the road, but I just listened with a faint smile.
Honggu didn't think it was interesting, so she stopped joking and looked at my expression carefully.
After a while, she suppressed her voice and said suddenly: "Why belittle yourself?
I have been unlucky in my life.
When I was young, I only cared about my inner preferences and followed my own temper without careful calculation.
Now I understand the truth, but people have already Old.
You are young now, and you are born like this.
As long as you have the will, there is nothing impossible in Chang'an City.
Even the current Queen Wei was not much more noble than us in the past.
Young.
Her mother was a slave in the princess's palace, and she had an affair with someone.
She didn't even have a father, so she could only assume the surname of Wei.
When she grew up, she was just a singer in the princess's palace, but later she was favored by the emperor because of her appearance. , Mother is the world.
Besides, General Wei was also an illegitimate son.
When he was young, he worked for others to herd horses.
Not only did he not have enough to eat, but he was often whipped by his master.
Later, he made great achievements in conquering the Huns and became a very popular minister. " I smiled sideways and hugged Honggu, "Good sister, that's not what I'm thinking about.
I'm just thinking about a past thing in my mind.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The singer should be the queen, and the manu should be the general.
I understand your reasoning.
Although we are women , but since I was born in this age where family status was not considered strict and women frequently interfered in the government affairs, you can also say that princes, generals, and ministers would rather have the right kind."
Honggu looked stunned and slowly recited "Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed", and seemed to be deeply aware of it, "Where did you hear these words?
If I were as old as you, I would If you can understand this, it may be a different situation now.”
Honggu is conceited about her beauty, intelligence and dexterity, and is far superior to everyone else.
Unfortunately, she is getting older, but she is still struggling in the world.
She is unwilling to accept it, and can only do nothing.
The white snow and red plum blossoms complement each other, it is indeed a very beautiful scenery.
My eyes are looking at it, but my heart is not appreciating it.
I just keep grinning.
Hong Gu also had a lot of worries in her heart, and facing the flowers in full bloom, she seemed to feel an extra layer of loneliness.
When we returned from the flower viewing, it was already dark.
Honggu and other girls took a carriage back to the garden, and I took the carriage back to Shifu by myself.
In the Bamboo Pavilion, Master Jiu was reading alone under the lamp.
The dim yellow candlelight reflected a layer of warmth on his body.
My eyes suddenly felt a little sore.
In the past, when it was too late to go crazy outside, my father would sit under the lamp and read a book, waiting for me.
A lamp, a person, but warmth.
I stood quietly at the door.
The warmth and tranquility in the room slowly flowed into my heart, making me gradually calm down after being uncomfortable all afternoon.
If he felt something, he looked up at me with a smile and said, "Why are you standing there stupidly at the door?"
" As I entered the room, I said: "I went to see Hong Gu, and later we went out of the city to see the plum blossoms with her."
He asked gently: "Have you had dinner?"
I said: "Although I didn't eat dinner properly, Hong Gu I brought a lot of food and ate while playing, and I was full.”
He nodded slightly and said no more.
I hesitated for a while and asked: "Why did you let Shi Fang's song and dance studio go their own way?
Not only could they not join forces to fight the enemy, but they also tied each other up.
People outside suspected that something was going on inside Shi Fang."
The boat owner is helpless because of the chaos."
He put down the bamboo slips in his hand and said with a somewhat nonchalant smile, "They guessed right.
I am indeed more than capable."
I shook my head and was silent for a while: "Didn't you tell me to think about what I want to do?
I've thought about it.
I'm not familiar with other businesses.
I know a little about the song and dance studio now.
Besides, I'm a woman.
You want me to think about it?"
I’ll go to the song and dance studio and learn first, whether it’s as a bookkeeper or as an assistant.”
Master Jiu still smiled and said: "Now that you have thought about it, I will talk to Shenxing tomorrow and see how he arranges it."
I saluted him and said, "Thank you very much."
Master Jiu turned the wheelchair, took a small package and handed it to me, "Return it to its original owner."
Inside the package was the blue Loulan dress, and my hand gently touched it.
I wanted to say something but couldn't.
It couldn't be expressed with the word "thank you
