This is the sixth day of Hua Yuenong's performance.
Although the price has doubled again and again, all the seats in the song and dance studio are still sold out, even for the next two days.
Because I said earlier, in addition to the headbands given by their respective customers, at the end of the month everyone will share the income in proportion according to their role in the song and dance.
All the girls in the workshop were happy, and even Fang Ru had a hint of joy in her mouth. smile.
She has become famous with her song, and now her salary is almost higher than that of the most popular singer in Tianxiangfang, and even if she can afford the salary, it also depends on whether Fang Ru is willing to have guests, so the only chance for ordinary people to meet her is There is only one flower every day.
In addition to the tea table at the lower level, the song and dance studio also has independent small rooms at the upper level.
There are gauze curtains and bamboo curtains hanging outside, which can be rolled up or down, making it convenient for women and distinguished guests to listen to music and watch dancing.
I took the three brothers and sisters Li Yannian and sat down in a small room.
Li Yannian said: "Yu Niang, we can just sit down low.
There is no need for such a good position."
I smiled and said: "This is the seat I have reserved and will not sell.
If it is empty, it will be empty.
Master Li, please feel free to sit down."
Li Yan looked at me, her eyes flickering, as if asking, "Who are you leaving for?"
I turned my head and smiled, guess what.
A girl opened the door and walked in.
She didn't bother to say hello to Li Yannian and the others, so she hurriedly said: "Aunt Hong, please ask the host to come over quickly.
There are distinguished guests, and Aunt Hong thinks it would be better for the host to receive them in person."
I stood up suddenly, stood still for a moment, and then sat down slowly.
The little girl looked at me blankly.
Li Yan smiled and asked, "The person you were waiting for has arrived."
I nodded: "We are close friends.
Honggu grew up in Chang'an City.
She is not a person who has never seen the world.
If it weren't for some involvement, she wouldn't have to ask me to come over."
Li Yan asked: "Do you want us to step out?"
I shook my head and said, "There are still vacancies."
After saying that, I took a sip of tea and adjusted my mood.
Then I stood up calmly, straightened my clothes and walked out.
Hong Gu was walking along the corridor with two people.
When she saw me, her face relaxed.
Xiao Huo, no, Huo Qubing had his hair tied up in a jade crown, dressed in rich clothes, and walked with an indifferent expression.
The moment he saw me, he immediately stopped.
With a slight smile on my lips, Yingying stepped forward and bowed, "Master Huo condescended to stay in Yufang.
It's really a flower that shines brightly and a dark room that smells fragrant."
He looked at me for a while, then suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You really came to Chang'an."
Honggu looked at me and then at Huo Qubing, with a confused expression on her face.
I originally meant to tease him a little bit, but he chuckled a few times and didn't seem a bit unreasonable.
I was a little annoyed, so I turned aside and asked him to move forward.
Before she even took a step, a little girl came running quickly with her skirt in hand.
Hong Gu scolded her coldly: "No matter how you look, you should pay attention to your appearance even if you are in a hurry."
The little girl stopped in a hurry and looked at me a little aggrievedly.
I asked: "What's wrong?"
She took a breath and said, "Master Wu is here, and there is a very gentle and good-looking man who is only in his early twenties, but Master Wu calls him Master Shi, and there seems to be someone else in the carriage."
I said "Ah", raised my skirt slightly and ran away.

I suddenly woke up again, turned around and saluted Huo Qubing hastily, "I am suddenly in a hurry.
I hope you can forgive me."
I quickly said to Honggu: "Take Huo with you."
Young Master, take a seat."
After saying that, he ran out quickly.
The little girl shouted from behind: "It's at the side door."
Master Jiu was pushing his wheelchair slowly, with Master Wu, Amaterasu and Shi Feng following behind.
Before I arrived, I arrived first and asked happily: "Why didn't you send someone to tell me in advance?"
Master Jiu said with a smile: "I also came to see what you were busy with on an impromptu basis.
You didn't come back all night yesterday. " I wrinkled my nose and smiled, walking beside him, "I wasn't busy last night, I was looking at beauties.
I'll take you to see a great beauty later."
He smiled without saying a word.
I took them to the side of the corridor and said with a smile: "Please, please go up from the stairs, please, and also please Mr.
Shi, please go together."
Mr.
Wu and Amaterasu looked at each other and did not move.
Seeing that the two of them didn't move, Shi Feng could only stand quietly.
Master Jiu ordered: "You go ahead."
The three of us bowed, turned and headed for the stairs.
I took Master Jiu into a small, narrow room.
The small room was actually more like a wooden box.
It just accommodated Master Jiu and I, and I couldn't stand up straight. , so he simply knelt down next to Master Jiu.
I said apologetically: "For safety reasons, I dare not make it too big."
After closing the door, he pulled a copper bell.
Soon, the small house began to rise slowly.
Master Jiu was silent for a while and asked: "Some of them are like the hanging baskets used in building houses.
You made them specially."
I hummed softly.
One sound, There was extreme silence in the darkness, so quiet that I seemed to be able to hear my own heartbeat.
In fact, the anointed candle was within easy reach, but I was unwilling to light it, and Master Jiu didn't mention it either.
We just stayed silent to each other in this cramped space.
The light herbal fragrance from Master Jiu's body spread vaguely, stained my brows and nose, and unknowingly entangled itself in my heart.
When we arrived, the singing and dancing had already begun.
I was helping Master Jiu make tea, and Master Wu whispered beside me: "You should go and see Hong Gu, it's not a big deal that you left her a mess."
Master Jiu heard us whispering and turned around.
Said: "Yu'er, if you have anything to do, go ahead."
I thought for a while, handed the tea set in my hand to Amaterasu, turned around and left the room.
As soon as Honggu saw me, she immediately put the tea tray she was holding into my hands, "I really can't stand it anymore.
Mr.
Huo's face can freeze someone to death.
From the moment he stepped into this garden, I felt like I was back again."
It was the coldest month of winter, but I was only wearing a spring shirt.
I said ten thousand words with a smile on my face, and no one even raised an eyebrow. .
I was scared to death, thinking that our singing and dancing did not offend General Wei, but instead provoked this cold-faced overlord in Chang'an City.
But when you showed up, they started laughing and didn't understand what you were playing.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I didn't want to accompany you anymore.
If you continue to play, my life will be in danger."
As she said this, she was about to leave, but I stopped her and said, "You can't leave."
Honggu walked away from me and said, "You are the boss of the shop, and this is the critical moment to use you.
We, the little soldiers, can do it."
After saying that, the person walked away quickly, leaving only a silhouette of his back for me.
I said angrily, "No loyalty."
Hong Gu turned around and said with a smile, "Loyalty is important, not to mention life.
Boss, I have confidence in you.
I will give you momentum support and cheer for you."
I sighed and walked slowly with the tea tray in hand.
The attendant standing outside the door saw me and opened the door quickly.
I bowed slightly to express my gratitude and walked gently into the house.
Young Master Huo, who was said to be able to change solar terms, was sitting on his knees, watching the scenes on the stage expressionlessly.
I put the tea tray on the table, held the tea in both hands and put it down respectfully.
Seeing that he didn't pay any attention to me, I didn't bother to speak, so I just started watching the song and dance.
Huo Qubing picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
At this time, it was Qiuxiang's turn to play the role of a general.
She danced and sang on the stage with a fake sword, scolding the Huns for being greedy and murderous, and wanted to rely on what she had learned to protect the country and the people.
Huo Qubing spit out all the tea in his mouth with a puff.
He held the tables in one hand and the teacup in the other.
His head was lowered and his whole body was shaking slightly.
The teacup in his hand was shaking.
I hurriedly walked around to him, grabbed the cup from his hand, put it back on the table, and took a handkerchief to wipe the tea splashed on the table.
He suppressed his laughter and nodded at Qiuxiang on the stage, "If General Wei looks like this, I'm afraid the Huns will kill him, not him."
Thinking of the Huns' figures on horseback, I felt a pang in my heart.
I forced a smile and tried to get up and go back to my seat.
He grabbed me and I looked at him questioningly.
He said: "This song and dance is worth it except for the one who is pretending to be a princess."
Just look at it and don’t look at the rest.
Sit down and talk with me.
I’ll ask you something.”
I leaned down and said, "Yes, Mr.
Huo."
"Xiaoyu, it's not convenient for me to tell you my identity at that time, but you can still call me Xiaohuo."
He said helplessly.
“Now I believe I am Han” "I don't know.
You appear very strangely.
You are extremely familiar with the landscape of the Western Regions.
You claim to be Han, but you are very unfamiliar with the Han Dynasty.
If we are not suspicious at all, do you think we are normal?
After traveling with you, we will be sure that you are At least there is no evil intention.
But I went to the Western Region in disguise, so it’s really not convenient for me to tell you my identity.”
I lowered my head and said nothing.
What he said was very reasonable.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He asked softly: "Xiaoyu, can you accept my explanation?"
I looked up at him and said, "I am familiar with the Western Regions because I grew up among wolves.
We have the instinct not to get lost in the desert.
I have indeed never lived in the Han Dynasty, so I am unfamiliar.
I consider myself Han Chinese, Because I'm a Han here."
I pointed to my heart, "But maybe I can't be counted anywhere.
I belong to the wolves.
That's all I can say.
Do you believe what I say?"
He looked into my eyes and nodded, "I believe that as for the rest, maybe one day you will be willing to tell me."
Only extremely confident people would often choose to look directly into each other's eyes, and Huo Qubing was undoubtedly such a person.
I looked at him for a moment and then looked away.
I didn't want to explore his heart, nor did I want to be explored by him.
He asked: "How long have you been in Chang'an?"
I said: "More than half a year."
He was silent for a while and asked: "Since you specially arranged this song and dance, you should already know my identity.
Why don't you come to me directly?
If I don't come to see this song and dance even if I hear it," He actually misunderstood that the scene on the stage was all for him.
This person was really overconfident.
There was a sarcastic smile on my lips: "When I want to find you, I don't know where you are.
When I know where you are, it doesn't matter if I see you or not."
He looked at me, his face suddenly turned extremely cold, "What is the purpose of this song and dance?"
I listened to Fang Ru's soft and cowardly singing voice, but did not answer.
His hands flat on his knees suddenly clenched into fists, "You wanted to enter the palace.
I thought you were a strange plant in the desert, but it turns out you are another person who wanted to be a phoenix."
I shook my head and smiled, "No, why would I go to that damn place when I'm all alone?"
His expression slowed down and he looked at Fang Ru, "You were planning on her."
I smiled and shook my head, "Her thoughts are very simple.
She just wants to use this moment to find a good place for herself, or at least have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life.
I won't force others to do things I don't want to do, not to mention I don't think she He is a person who can survive well in that kind of place.”
He said: "You're not doing this, you're not that, so what exactly are your ideas?"
I turned sideways and looked at Fang Ru on the stage, "It's her idea."
He raised his eyebrows and looked at me with a half-smile, "I don't think you grew up among wolves, but rather as if you were raised by foxes.
Your idea is on point, and the princess has heard about it.
Hua Yuenong asked me if I had ever been to Luoyufang and seen people who arranged songs and dances."
I leaned forward and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
He listened carefully to the joys and sorrows on the stage, feeling a little lost in thought.
I sat quietly for a while and saw that he seemed to have no intention of speaking anymore.
I was about to ask him to leave when he said: "You are very cautious in your singing and dancing, and you are careful in every lyric.
But before, you said nothing."
Aren't you afraid of my anger if you leave me behind and rush out to meet Lord Shifangfang?"
It was indeed ill-considered at the time, but I don’t regret it.
I thought for a moment and replied cautiously: "He is my big shopkeeper.
There is no reason why the shopkeeper wouldn't come out to greet him when he hears the shopkeeper's arrival."
He glanced at me lightly and said, "Is that so?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
My status is no better than that of a shopkeeper."
Before I could answer, the attendant standing outside the door said, "Sir, Aunt Hong wants to see you."
He said impatiently, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Hong Gu said hurriedly: "Master Huo, I have no choice but to disturb the master's Yaxing.
Please forgive me.
Yu Niang, I heard from Brother Shi Feng that the owner of the boat is angry and is scolding Master Wu."
Furious, this seemed to be the worst reaction I expected.
I put my hand on my forehead and said feebly: "I know, I will go there as soon as possible."
I smiled apologetically at Huo Qubing, "I want to go first, and you don't think so either.
You stingy man, please stop trying to embarrass me.
I have to rush to get my punishment, and the situation is miserable enough."
"No wonder the princess is wondering why Shi Fang has changed his style again.
You guys are so brave that you dared to make up a song and dance that talked about the royal family's private affairs without the shopkeeper's consent."
I said nothing and stood up slowly.
He suddenly said: "Do you want me to accompany you there?"
I was stunned for a moment, then understood, feeling warm in my heart, and shook my head with a smile.
He smiled lazily and said with a hint of truth: "Don't wrong yourself too much.
If Shifang doesn't want you anymore, I want you in my house."
I glanced at him and opened the door and walked out.
As soon as Honggu saw me, she immediately grabbed my hand.
I felt that what I was touching was a piece of ice, and I quickly held her back and said, "What's going on?"
Honggu said: "I don't know either.
I can't get through it at all.
A young man named Shi Feng secretly passed it on to me, telling me to find you quickly.
He said that Master Wu was kneeling down to reply, as if it was for singing and dancing. " I said: "Don't be afraid, I will be there for you in everything."
Honggu whispered: "You don't know the rules of Shifang.
Back then, some people fell from having a fortune to begging on the streets overnight, and finally starved to death.
There are also those who I have no idea about.
I don’t know about other punishments, but the more I think about them, the more scared I become.”
I was getting more and more unsure of myself, but I still smiled on my face, "Even if something happens, it's me and it has nothing to do with you."
Hong Gu walked with me in silence, her face full of worry.
Xiaofeng stopped us, looked at Honggu and said, "She can't go there."
Hong Gu seemed to want to wait outside, so I said, "The singing and dancing are almost over.
Go and watch.
Don't make any mistakes at this juncture and cause more trouble for Mr.
Wu."
She thought what I said was reasonable and nodded hurriedly. , turned and left.
I said to Xiaofeng, "Thank you very much."
He snorted, looked at the sky and said, "Hurry up and think about how to explain it to Master Jiu.
No wonder the third master said to me that women are difficult to raise."
I stretched out my hand and knocked on his forehead, and said viciously: "You damn boy, don't ask for a wife when you have the ability."
Taking a deep breath, he gently opened the door.
Master Wu was kneeling on the ground with his back to the door.
Master Jiu's face was calm, and he didn't look like he was angry, but there was no trace of the usual gentleness in his brows.
Amaterasu stood beside Master Jiu with his hands down.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The bamboo curtains at the windows had been lowered, blocking out the charming singing and dancing on the stage, leaving only solemn silence in the room.
When they heard the sound of me coming in, neither Master Jiu nor Amaterasu raised their eyelids.
The people who were in charge of all the song and dance studios in Shifang were kneeling on the ground.
It seemed that I had no reason not to kneel, so I walked to Master Wu in small steps and knelt on the ground too.
Master Jiu said calmly: "Go down and punish you however you want.
Shenxing will give you an explanation."
Master Wu kowtowed and said: "I am an orphan.
If Shi Fang hadn't raised me, I might have been eaten by wild dogs.
This time I kept the matter of Luoyufang a secret and didn't report it to the masters.
Master Jiu didn't care.
No matter how you punish me, I have no complaints, but I just can’t give in.
Why does Shifang become like this?
Compared with other businesses, we treat our servants favorably and buy fairly with our customers.
I have never bullied the market, but now I have to watch the singing and dancing studios under me either taking business from each other or being bought by others.
Every time I ask Mr.
Shi why he is doing this, Mr.
Shi always says it.
I just told you not to interfere and just watch.
Will the property that I have worked so hard for my whole life be completely ruined like this?
Master Jiu, what will you see in the future?"
Amaterasu shouted: "Shut up.
The older you get, the bolder you become.
Did the old man teach you to talk to Master Jiu like this?"
Master Wu kowtowed and said in a choked voice, "I don't dare.
I just don't understand.
I don't want to give in.
I don't want to give in."
He was sobbing loudly as he spoke.
Master Jiu's expression did not change at all, and his eyes turned to me.
I raised my head and looked at him indifferently, and he said: "You really surprised me.
Since you are so resourceful, Luo Yufang has wronged you.
Take care.
You are not doing business, but you are busy climbing the dragon and the phoenix.
What are you doing all these things for?"
Mr.
Wu wiped away his tears and said first, "Yu Niang is young.
In order to promote her brand, it is not wrong to act like this.
If there are any mistakes, it is all my fault.
I did not mention her, but let her do whatever she wanted.
If Master Jiu wants to be punished, I will bear everything."
Master Jiu snorted coldly and said slowly: "Old Wu, you made a mistake this time.
Listen carefully to the lyrics.
You have worked hard on every word.
How can I sing and dance like a person who is greedy for success?
You see, it’s enough to come up with an idea.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
If it’s just to make a Hongluo Jade sign in Chang’an City, an ordinary story is enough.
There is no need to take such a big risk to insinuate the royal affairs.
After the big risk, there must be a big conspiracy.”
Master Wu looked at me in shock.
I looked at Master Wu apologetically, and looked at Master Jiu and said calmly: "I did do it on purpose.
The purpose is to attract the attention of Princess Pingyang and then make friends with the princess."
Master Jiu looked at me and nodded: "You are ambitious enough, but have you considered the consequences you may bear?"
I said: "I don't know what Master Jiu is afraid of.
Shi Fang is like this.
There are only three possibilities.
One is that Shi Fang is incompetent internally.
No one can take care of the huge business, but I know that is not the case.
Shi Fang's decline is With the decline of Dou's relatives, , the rise of the Wei family's relatives, there are two other possibilities, that is, either Shi Fang once had a close relationship with the Dou family, because the emperor's dislike of the Dou family was affected, or Shi Fang once had a bad relationship with the Wei family, and they grew up together.
It’s natural and normal.”
Amaterasu raised her eyes and looked at me.
Master Wu had a look of realization on his face, and his expression alternated between happiness and sadness.
I continued: "Although the Wei family is very powerful, General Wei has always tried his best to restrain the Wei family clan and forbid them to use their power to bully others.
He will not even hold accountable those who whipped him.
So unless Shi Fang has a serious problem with the Wei family, , otherwise Shi Fang is like this, because the possibility of Wei's is very low.
Power and money are inseparable.
Since ancient times, if you want to make a business big, you must interact with the government.
What's more, in Chang'an City, where hundreds of officials gather and various forces are intertwined.
Although I have never seen the old man, I can still think of his past.
His style, so I guess the old man must have been on good terms with Mr.
Dou."
Master Jiu picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
"Since you understand, you still want to do this."
I said, "If it had been three or four years earlier, I wouldn't have dared, but now things have turned around."
Both Amaterasu and Master Wu's eyes lit up and they looked at me intently, but Master Jiu was unimpressed.
He put down the tea cup and said calmly: "Miss Jinyu, there are thousands of people eating under Shifang, and they don't have yours."
Zhimo, without your ambition, I can't risk the lives of my entire family to play this game with you.
It's a game.
From today on, Luoyufang will be sold to the girl and has nothing to do with Shifang.
How the girl manages Luoyufang is her own business.
Gentle, but it shows all the alienation and indifference that have nothing to do with oneself.
I looked at him in disbelief, but he stopped looking at me and pushed the wheelchair to leave.
When he passed by Mr.
Wu and I, because we were kneeling in front of the door and the wheelchair couldn't pass, he looked at the door and said: " Please give way, please."
His polite voice was so cold that his heart was freezing every inch.
I stood up suddenly, opened the door and rushed out.
Xiaofeng called out "Sister Yu", but I ignored it.
I just wanted to leave here quickly, stay away from him and stay away from the cold.
Running far away, he suddenly remembered how he was going to get downstairs.
He definitely didn't want others to touch his body.
He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet in anger, then hurried back to find the wooden box that he knew how to operate.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The people went to tell Amaterasu and Shifeng how to get downstairs. dddddddddddd "Every method of using military force will be ordered by the king to assemble the army.
There will be no shelter in the vast land, and there will be no place to stay.
If you are surrounded, you will plot, and if you are dead, you will fight.
There will be obstacles on the road, and the army will not attack the city.
Don't attack something, don't fight for the land, don't accept your orders."
I had something in mind and stopped writing.
Why was he so frightened by Master Jiu's demeanor and tone that day that he didn't think carefully about what he said?
According to what he said, he was concerned about the thousands of people in Shifang, so he was not allowed to cause trouble to me.
However, we only seek business convenience by seeking shelter from the officials, and will not interfere in the power struggle in the court, and even deliberately stay away from the struggle. , since the domineering relatives of the Dou family have declined, Thousands of people were killed in Shifang.
Isn't it safer for me to rely on the prudent princess?
As long as I act appropriately, in the future, it will at best turn from prosperity to decline.
Could the situation be worse than now?
What on earth is Master Jiu thinking?
Could it be that the faint melancholy between his brows was not due to Shi Fang?
When I heard the door open, I didn't move, still staring at Sun Tzu's Art of War that I was copying in a daze.
Li Yan put a pot of wine in front of me, "How long do you plan to stay in the room?"
I put down my brush and looked at her and said, "Aunt Hong invited you here."
Li Yan lowered her eyes and poured the wine, "Even if she doesn't let me come, I have to ask for it myself.
You put us brothers and sisters in the garden, why don't we let us eat and drink for free?"
She pushed the wine glass to me , "Would you like to drink some?
This thing will make you forget some of your sorrows."
I pushed the wine glass back to her, "It's just a temporary paralysis, everything will continue after you wake up."
Li Yan shook her head, smiled and raised the glass and drank it down, "You don't understand its benefits.
You are not you.
Let your heart become unburdened and light.
Although it is only temporary, it is better than nothing."
I didn't say anything, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Li Yan slowly sipped her wine and said, "What are your plans?"
I held the tea cup, lost my mind, and shook my head, "I don't know.
I originally wanted to help Shi Fang reverse the situation of gradual decline, but suddenly I found that no one needed me to do this, it was just my own wishful thinking.
Li Yan , did I do something wrong?”
"Jin Yu, you are so stupid, but you can also ask that no matter what you do in life, it is like paddling against the current.
Without stability, you will not be allowed to stand still.
If you don't paddle hard, you will only be pushed back by the rapids.
Even if you fall Yufang wants to keep a good business.
Can he keep it?
Tianxiangfang is aggressive, and there must be official power behind it.
Many of Shifang's song and dance studios have been squeezed out and bought by it.
Are you willing to be honest one day?
Will you fall at its feet?"
I smiled meaningfully and said, "You haven't been in Chang'an for a long time, but you know a lot about things."
Li Yan's face changed uncertainly, she suddenly held my hand, stared at me and whispered: "There are no secrets between you and me.
From the time I guessed your intention to sing and dance, you must also understand what I want.
I need You give me a helping hand.”
Although I didn't take my hand away, I didn't respond to her.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I just smiled and said, "Even without my help, you can get what you want with your wisdom and beauty."
Li Yan looked at me for a while, then let go of my hand with a slight smile.
She picked up the wine and tilted her neck to drink another glass.
Her cheeks were dizzy with wine, glowing with peach blossom beauty, and she was truly unparalleled in beauty.
Her autumn eyes did not have the sparkling sparkle of the past, but were just a pool of silence.
She was as young as a flower, and her appearance was astonishing, but she was still pretty and full of worries.
Fang Ru's soft voice said: "Yu Niang, can I come in?"
Her tone was to ask me, but her actions did not mean anything like this.
As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Ru had already pushed the door open and walked in.
I sighed: "How many lobbyists has Hong Gu found?"
Unexpectedly, Hong Gu smiled outside and said: "I'll make you annoying to the point where you can't stay in the house anymore."
I said: "Come in, let's sit down together and talk things over." clear."
Li Yan had already put on her veil the moment Fang Ru entered the door, lowered her head and sat quietly at the corner of the table.
Fang Ru and Hong Gu sat side by side across from me.
I put away the bamboo slips on the table and said, "Honggu, Master Wu should have told you that Shi Fang no longer wants us."
Honggu said with a smile: "I don't know if you will be annoyed if I say this.
Anyway, I dare not say this in front of Mr.
Wu.
The song and dance studio run by Mr.
Wu and Shi Fang have all let go this time, saying that it is for You can raise money to do any medicinal herb business, as long as you pay enough money within a certain period of time, you can do it.
They operate their own businesses and allow outsiders to buy, but they will give discounts to those who originally belonged to Shi Fang.
Mr.
Wu now looks like his family has been ruined and he stays at home all day long.
But I am not happy after hearing this.
With our hands tied, we can’t just do whatever we like.”
After letting go, I stared down at the table without saying anything.
Honggu waited for a long time and saw that I didn’t make any movement.
She stretched out her hand and pushed me and said, "Yu Niang, what’s wrong with you?"
I reacted, shook my head hurriedly, thought for a while and said: "I am very grateful that you are willing to follow me, but have you ever thought about where I will take you?
What is ahead?
Take this song and dance as an example.
If it is not done well, it may anger the Heavenly Family and cause extraordinary disasters.”
Hong Gu shook her head and said with a smile: "I have figured out one thing clearly in my heart, that is, if there is really a disaster and I want to behead you, the first one to be beheaded will be you.
At most, we are just confused accomplices, but if You have wealth and glory, but you will not miss us.
Besides, I think you are not crazy or stupid, and you probably won't put your head under the knife, so I am very relieved."
Fang Ru lowered her head and wrapped the silk handkerchief in her hand.
When Honggu finished speaking, she looked up at me and whispered softly: "Master Sun asked me to accompany you for a drink today, but I refused because I didn't like it.
Although he was very angry, But he didn't dare to say anything because he also knew that General Wei Under the command of the army, General Gongsun Ao, the empress, the nephew of General Wei, Mr.
Huo, and the nephew of Mr.
Li, the imperial censor, and the son of General Li Guang, Mr.
Li San, all came to see my singing and dancing.
Mr.
Li San gave me silk.
Mr.
Huo rewarded me with Jin Luo."

I shook my head with a smile and looked at Honggu.
Honggu smiled and said, "You have been sitting in your room reading a book.
I have no chance to tell you these things."
Fang Ru continued: "I don't know what's ahead, but I know that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be qualified to say no to Lord Sun.
Even the other sisters in the garden don't see anyone they really don't want to see now.
They used to force themselves to One is for money, but our songs During the day of the dance performance, they earned a lot of money just by pretending to be girls.
Secondly, they did not dare to offend the guests easily back then, but now whoever comes to the garden, those guests also know in their hearts that Aunt Hong is very protective of us, but it is them.
Don’t dare offend our garden easily.”
Honggu felt a little embarrassed when she heard Fang Ru praise her, and hurriedly poured herself tea, avoiding our eyes.
I smiled and said, "Aunt Hong, you have done a lot in just a few days."
Aunt Hong lowered her head and was busy drinking tea, as if she didn't hear what I said.
Li Yan still sat with her head bowed, as if she didn't even listen to what we were saying.
I glanced at her, clapped my hands and said, "Then let's continue.
As long as I don't leave Chang'an for a day, we will work hard to make more money."
Hong Gu raised her head and said: "If we want to expand our business, there is an excellent opportunity right in front of us.
Since you took charge of the song and dance studio in the early spring, our income has been increasing day by day.
With my own savings for many years, we have just It’s enough to buy Luo Yufang, but not every song and dance studio can.
If you can be like us, you can raise a large amount of money in time.
As long as we have money, we can take advantage of the opportunity."
I nodded slightly, indicating that I understood, but interrupted her, "Everyone has nothing to do, just leave.
I'm in the house.
I’ve been holding back for a few days and want to go out for a walk.”
Fang Ru saluted me and left first, and Honggu followed her out the door.
I stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Li Yan, "I wonder if my beauty would like to accompany me to enjoy the outdoor scenery."
Li Yan bowed gracefully and said, "Elegance is difficult to refuse, but I am willing to go for it."
Both of them walked side by side with smiles in their eyes.
Li Yan said: "You have to go to Shifang tonight."
I sighed lightly and did not answer.
Li Yan said: "The owner of Shi Fang is really a weird person.
Why don't you do a singing and dancing business with low risk, but go into a medicinal material business with high market price fluctuations?
If you still care about Shi Fang, you really should go there."
Ask clearly."
I smiled and changed the subject, talking to her about interesting places outside Chang'an during this time of year, and discussing whether we should go there too.
The weeping willows by the lake had lush branches and leaves.
Several girls were playing happily by the lake.
One girl broke off a large handful of willow branches and each of them divided a few branches and played with the water.
Li Yan's eyes flashed with displeasure, she frowned slightly, looked away, and said to me, "I'm going back to the room first."
I nodded, and she turned and left in a hurry.
Because of her expression, my heart suddenly moved.
I seemed to think of something, but I didn't catch it, so I had to put it down first.
When several girls saw us, they were all shocked and hurriedly threw away the willow branches and hurriedly saluted and said hello.
Without saying a word, I walked over and picked up the willow branches one by one, looked at them and asked: "Can this willow branch still survive if it is stuck in the soil?"
Several girls looked at each other, and an older one replied.
He said: "The time for planting willows has passed now, I'm afraid I won't survive."
I said: "Give these to the gardener to try and take care of them carefully.

Maybe one or two plants can survive."
The girl took them with confusion on her face.
I said gently: "If you pick the flowers and put them in the house for flower viewing, , or wear it in a bun, the flowers will not blame you.
If it is for use, pick the wicker and weave it into a willow basket.
Make the best use of the willow.
But if you just want to throw it away after picking it, don't touch it. they."
The girls didn't understand what I was talking about at all, but at least they understood.
I was not happy to see them breaking willow branches, with fear on their faces.
I waved my hand helplessly and let them go, and the girls left in a hurry. scattered.
They grew up in the fertile land of the Central Plains and have no idea how precious green is.
I thought of my father and the long yellow color of the Western Regions.
I suppressed all kinds of thoughts, but my heart became a little empty.
I stood on the shore and looked at the willow trees across the lake in a daze.
They don't understand, they don't understand Li Yan's anger, Li Yan understands that Li Yan is definitely not someone who sheds tears over falling flowers.
Thinking about the many unanswered doubts about Li Yan since her appearance, I was shocked.
Suddenly I thought of Li Yan's possible identity, and I cried out "Ah".
Unexpectedly, there was a cry from behind me.
I turned around immediately.
Huo Qubing was standing behind me.
I almost hit his chest with my sudden turn.
I jumped back subconsciously and only woke up after jumping out.
Behind me was the lake. , I want to turn around again, but there is no place to focus.
Huo Qubing hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull me, but my good movement was mistaken for me.
I jumped too far, and before their hands could touch, they missed me and I fell into the pond.
I learned how to swim from Brother Lang, and it should be regarded as "wolf planing".
This swimming movement is definitely contrary to the words such as beautiful and elegant, graceful as a swimming dragon, and graceful as a giant.
I swam to the shore, but Huo Qubing laughed loudly on the shore.
He almost fell to the ground while holding his stomach, "You were really raised by wolves.
This posture, this posture, hahaha, you almost opened your mouth."
Literally, tongue sticking out."
His words were all drowned in laughter.
I was angry from my heart, and my evil was born in my guts.
I was raking the water with my hands one after another, opening my mouth and sticking out my tongue like a wolf, laughing at you to death.
He screamed and covered it with his hands.
Eyes, squatting on the ground with his head lowered, he smiled.
I swam to the shore, and he stretched out his right hand to drag me to the shore.
I didn't want to pay attention to him, but in a second thought I reached out and grabbed his hand tightly.
When he was about to use force, I immediately pulled hard and held my breath. sink to the bottom of the water.
Unexpectedly, he didn't resist.
He seemed to tighten his grip slightly and followed my strength and fell into the lake.
My evil thoughts succeeded and I wanted to let go of his hand, but he held on tightly.
We looked at each other across the clear water at the bottom of the lake.
In the rippling water, his black hair was spread out in the water, making the smile between his eyebrows and eyes even more unbridled.
I pushed my legs into the water and floated upwards, and he held my hand and also surfaced.
When we reached the shore, he still had no intention of letting go.

I pressed the thumb of my other hand to the numb point on his elbow.
He waved my hand away and then took my hand with his backhand.
I smiled sweetly, suddenly held his hands, and used the power of his hands to kick his crotch.
He looked at me smiling weirdly, looked down at the water, screamed and pushed me away hastily, "You woman Why is my heart so poisonous?
I’ll be kicked by you.
Is this life going to be over?”
I held on to the shore and jumped onto the shore.
Mayday's clothes were already thin, but when they were soaked in water, they stuck to his body.
He laughed loudly in the water.
I didn't dare to look back and ran towards the house.
I hurriedly entered the house and while changing my clothes, I gave instructions to Xin Yan, the girl outside the house, "Inform everyone in the garden that Mr.
Huo's entourage will ask for clean clothes later.
No one is allowed to give them to him.
Just say it was me who said so."
My clothes happen to be washed, and there are quite a few women’s clothes, so I can give him one or two sets.”
Xin Yan responded in confusion and hurried away.
As I combed my wet hair in front of the bronze mirror, I pursed my lips and smiled.
They laughed at me in my own place.
Then I wanted to see who would be laughed at.
During dinner, Aunt Hong looked at me and said, "Young Master Huo came into the garden with a cold face today.
He didn't watch the singing and dancing for a while before he disappeared.
When he turned around, his entourage asked us for clean clothes, but you We are in a dilemma.
We are afraid that Master Huo will demolish the garden in anger.
Everyone in Chang'an City knows that it is okay to offend General Wei, but if we offend Master Huo, we may have to prepare for ourselves.
It’s a matter of funeral affairs.”
I smiled and took the chopsticks to Hong Gu, "Then did you give it to me or not?"
Hong Gu said with a bitter face: "No, but I almost died of worry.
Auntie, you can do whatever you want, but don't do it anymore.
Women like us, who are idle here, cannot bear to be frightened, and they will grow old very quickly.”
I suppressed a smile and said, "Then you can see Mr.
Huo."
Honggu said, "No, later he ordered someone to drive the carriage directly in front of the house, ordered everyone to avoid it, and then left.
It was just..."
I said anxiously: "It's just what?"
Hong Gu also laughed, "It's just that the ground where Young Master Huo walked was covered with rain.
The entire mat in the room where he sat was soaked, and the cushions were also wet."
I quickly threw away the chopsticks and held them with one hand.
On the mat, he covered his stomach with one hand and laughed.
Since the emperor of the Han Dynasty now only followed Confucianism, he also had extraordinary requirements for the "propriety" that Confucius continued to advocate throughout his life.
It is said that "virtue comes from etiquette, and clothing is the foundation."
Crown clothing is the basic requirement of "rule by etiquette" .
Everyone in Chang'an City, from the emperor down to the common people, was very particular about how they dressed, and Huo Qubing was even more elegant with his hair tied in a jade crown, right-fold collar, wide sleeves and loose belt.
This time he was annoyed.
If he was unfortunately seen by the dignitaries in Chang'an City, he was afraid that he would immediately become a joke in the court.
His unscrupulous eyes flashed before my eyes, and I suddenly felt that I had laughed wrongly.

Will he care?
No, he is not a person who will be bound by clothes.
He will avoid it if he can.
But if he is really bumped into by someone, I am afraid that he will either have a cold face and look at the other person as if nothing happened, which will make the other person suspect that he is.
I wore the wrong clothes.
Nowadays, "wet clothes" are popular in Chang'an City, or I smile nonchalantly to make the other party think it's not a big deal. －－－－－－－－－－－－－ The wind was whistling in my ears.
This was the first time since I arrived in Chang'an that I ran at full speed in the night.
It was so smooth that I could hardly help but scream.
When I arrived at Shifu, I stopped and looked at the courtyard wall, then threw out the zipline, and people immediately took advantage of it to rise up.
Before my feet even hit the ground, two people were already attacking me from the left and right.
I didn't want to fight back and hurt them, so I tried my best to dodge, but their skills were very strong and they forced me into the corner.
I never felt that Shifu was heavily guarded during normal times, but now I realized that it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
I glanced around and felt that the person standing in the shadow seemed to be Uncle Shi, so I hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Shi, it's Yu'er."
Shi Bo said: "You guys go down."
Upon hearing the sound, the two men immediately stopped their hands and retreated into the darkness.
Uncle Shi walked towards me with his waist bent, "Why don't you pretend to be a snitch if you don't open the door?"
I pulled off the veil from my face and pouted without saying anything.
Uncle Shi looked at me and laughed, turned around and left, saying, "Oh, I don't understand what you kids are thinking.
Master Jiu probably hasn't rested yet, so go ahead."
I hummed: "Who said I came to see Mr.
Jiu?
I just haven't seen Uncle Shi for several days, so I came to see Uncle Shi."
Uncle Shi didn't look back, he said with a smile: "I'm old, I have to rest early."
Wait, I can't afford to bother.
Next time I come to see you, remember to come earlier.
This time, let Master Jiu pick up the guests for me."
As he said that, he gradually walked away.
I stood there in a daze for a while, bit my lip, raised my feet and ran away.
A wisp of flute sound lingered in the bamboo forest, the cold moon breeze made the bamboo leaves rustle, I suddenly felt a little cold on my body, and I quickly quickened my pace.
In the bamboo house with screen windows, a lamp is like a bean, and the fire is green and green.
His figure is reflected on the window, and it seems that it also carries the loneliness of the night.
After I sat on the wall and listened to the music, I quietly slid to the ground and stood for a long time.
He still sat motionless.
I stood outside the window, leaning against his shadow.
I raised my hand and put it down, put it down and raised it again, and finally my fingertips lightly touched his face.
This is your eyebrow, this is your eye, this is your nose, and here is your lip.
I touched it lightly with my finger, my heart trembled, and I quickly moved away.
My fingertips gently slid between his eyebrows.
I couldn't see it, but I also knew that there was a layer of smoke covering this place.
I could be the wind and blow away the layer of smoke.
You are his shadow, so you should know what is on his mind.
Why on earth can't he tell me happily?
The window suddenly opened, and his face appeared in front of me.
My hand was still stretched out in mid-air, very close to his face, so close that I seemed to feel his body temperature, but in the end I didn't touch it.
I couldn't tell what I felt in my heart, regret or luck.

I smiled stupidly at him, retracted my hand, and hid it behind my back.
He also smiled gently, "How long have you been here?"
I said, "Just arrived."
He said: "You are exposed outside.
If you don't want to leave in a hurry, come in and sit for a while."
I nodded and entered the house.
He closed the window, pushed the wheelchair to the table, and placed the jade flute on the table.
I lowered my head and stared at the clear oil lamp on the table.
The wick was already covered with red bean-like lantern flowers, which was making a small popping sound.
I casually pulled out a silver hairpin on my head and gently picked up the wick.
The lantern lanterns fell behind.
The lights became much brighter.
As I inserted the silver hairpin on my head, I asked: "Why don't you use a candle to light a green lantern?"
He looked at the green lantern and said, "The old man said that the lantern is hot and a happy event is coming.
I want to see if it's accurate."
"Yes."
My heart immediately jumped and I pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Is that accurate?"
The corner of his mouth slowly raised a nice curve, and without answering my words, he said with a slight smile: "I heard that green lanterns can detect ghosts.
When ghosts come, the light will turn green.
I first looked at the light turning green.
I just opened the window to take a look.
When you were standing outside just now, did you feel that there was something around you?"
I covered my mouth and laughed, "It is said that ghosts love handsome men and like to suck their yang energy, but you have to be careful."
He said, "I think you are really fearless.
Is there anything in the world that you are afraid of?"
"I almost opened my mouth and said: "You" but I didn't dare, and I didn't want to destroy the laughter under the lamp.
I rolled my eyes and asked with a smile, "Master Jiu, I heard Xiaofeng said that you can still see a doctor.
Then when we get sick, won't we all be able to save money on seeing a doctor?"
Master Jiu smiled slightly and said: "I have been ill for a long time and have been a doctor since I was a child.
The best doctors in the world have been in and out of the house since I was a child.
Some of them have stayed for a year and a half, and they have listened well."
Although he was smiling, I felt a little sad.
I turned my head and looked at the window.
If someone was looking outside now, there should be two shadows reflected on the window, next to each other.
The coldness of the night would not affect them.
He asked: "What are you laughing at?"
I smiled.
"I laugh when I feel happy.
Do I need a reason?"
He also smiled lightly.
"What are you laughing at?"
I asked.
He smiled and said, "Just laugh when you feel happy, no reason is needed."
The two of them sat in silence.
I picked up the jade flute on the table and played with it.

I brought it to my mouth and blew a few tunes.
He suddenly looked strange and turned away.
I was confused for a moment, and then I realized that the warm jade flute seemed to still have the moisture from his lips.
I was panicked and put the flute back on the table with a little joy.
After a while, he turned around with a normal expression and said, "It's getting late, go back to your room and rest."
I asked: "Are you still willing to let me live here?"
He said: "That is a vacant room.
It's okay to keep it for you forever.
It's just that you have your own business to take care of now, and it's not convenient to go back and forth."
I thought for a while, "Why did you give up the song and dance studio in Chang'an City?
If I tried to buy the song and dance studio you gave up, would you object?"
He said calmly: "How you run the business is your business.
Once you pay off the money, you will have nothing to do with Shi Fang.
We will each do our own business."
I looked at him angrily.
The more you want to make a clear connection with me, the more unclear I will be.
"I have no money, please lend me some money."
He actually said with a slight smile: "I can only give you enough money to buy Luo Yufang.
Since you don't have the money to buy elsewhere, why not just stay at Luo Yufang and live a stable life."
My eyes were wide open and I stared at him full of grievance, "Master Jiu" He suppressed his smile, stared at me and pondered for a while, then slowly said: "Yu'er, the water in Chang'an City is very deep.
I have no choice but to wade through this muddy water, but you can live a peaceful life. , if you want to do business, it’s enough to do well in Luoyufang.”
I pouted and said: "How can it be so easy that if I don't offend others, people will offend me?
Tianxiangfang can let go of Luoyufang now?"
Master Jiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let him touch you."
It turns out that you still want to help me.
I pursed my lips and smiled, "Jiuye, I don't want to be Siluo.
Siluo lives by climbing on trees.
The trees can protect Siluo from the wind and rain, and protect her from the wind and rain. , but will there be times when Qiao Mu gets tired or the wind and rain are too strong?
Sometimes, it also needs some help, but Silo can only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
I don’t want to live by the trees.
I also want to be a tree, which can help the trees around me weather the wind and rain and bathe in the sunshine. , let’s watch the beautiful rainbow after the storm.”
After finishing the words in one breath, I suddenly felt that my words were somewhat similar to "I am a concubine, I would like to ask Qiao Mu", and my face instantly burned.
Various emotions went through Master Jiu's eyes, and he looked at me blankly.
My heart was agitated, and I lowered my head, twisting my sleeves with my hands under the table.
After Jiuye was silent for a long time, he said word by word: "Yu'er, do it according to your own wishes."
I raised my head and looked at him happily, and he said with a bit of joking smile: "However, I will only lend you enough money to buy Luo Yufang.
Since you want to be a tree, you have to rely on your own ability to fight against the wind and rain." " I smiled and curled my lips: "If you don't want to borrow it, I won't.
Is there nothing I can do?"
He nodded and smiled: "Then I'll wait and see."
"Why did you switch to the medicine business?"
I asked with a smile.
Master Jiu seemed to suddenly remember something, and the smile on his face was a little bitter.
He forced a smile and said: "Now that we have clearly delivered the deal, we will each do our own business in the future without interfering with each other."
My originally warm heart suddenly felt a little cold, and I looked at him at a loss.
What was wrong with what I just asked?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He looked at me helplessly, "Yu'er, you are different from me.
I arranged this for your own good, and for the good of those singing and dancing studios."
"How are we different?"
I asked, staring at him closely.
He looked at me and smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile, "Go back to your room and go to bed.
I'm tired too."
There was a hint of tiredness in his brows.
I felt relieved and quickly stood up, "Then I'll go back."
He nodded, reached for a ceramic carp lantern, and took out an anointed candle to light it.
Insert it and hand it to me.
I bowed to him and returned to my house holding the lamp
