Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 245 Yifang Folds the Lotus (2)
I spoke more and more vigorously. He was dizzy and couldn't keep up with the rhythm. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore. He sat next to me, grabbed me who was dancing, and stroked his forehead with his left hand. If you keep money in every sentence, you can know that food is the most important thing for the people in the world, and agriculture is the foundation of the people. It seems that you are suitable to be a money-smelling businessman."

"My lord's emphasis on agriculture and restraining business is indeed a good material for being an official, but, "The starry sky is so beautiful today, and the sky is clear, so I am in a good mood. I walked out of the eaves with Xiao Yu in my arms, and laughed a few times." Don't underestimate business, although copper smells bad, but just imagine that land A only has rice, and land B only produces silk and hemp. ?Here, if businessmen are used to communicate and make both places happy, it is considered a merit. Also, if the money earned legitimately can be reinvested, employment opportunities can be created, which in turn will benefit the people. The economy of a country Strength is actually its lifeblood. If it is managed well, it can strengthen the country and enrich the people. Therefore, Wu Wang Zhang’s strictness is only a small area in the south of the Yangtze River. The military power is not much stronger than ours, but it can be maintained for nearly ten years. .Of course, he is also a talented person. He has long-distance friendship and short-term attack. It is very important that he maintained commercial communication with the four countries in the Warring States Period. No one can offend him, and no one can do without him. The people will naturally be prosperous and stable.”

It's a pity that he sneered at my opinion, "Nonsense, the way of the world, the way of martial arts competes for victory, have you never heard of a businessman who benefits the country?"

"Brother Yun," I said seriously, "the way of the world, the way of martial arts, naturally cannot be abolished, nor can it be abolished. But think about it, the way of martial arts is not the foundation, and the way of writing is not the only one. In the final analysis, it is nothing but the heart of the people. It's very simple, there is no need for the luxurious life of the money-smelling businessmen like me, nor the power of the royal family to be thrown into the sky. All they want is a stable life. Returning to the homeland, men farm and women weave, and the children live continuously. Whoever can make the people live and work in peace and contentment, the people will recognize him as the emperor. I think this is the root of my family replacing Xuanyuan and finally defeating the Dou family and the Zhang family. The same is true for the Duan clan of Dali in the southern country to defeat the Duan clan of Nanzhao. If one day, my descendants violate this point, they will also become the second Xuanyuan clan, and then be defeated by the wavers of another era."

I saw that he was listening intently, without any sign of impatience or contempt, so I felt embarrassed, "The starry sky is very beautiful tonight, I am a woman and a businessman, and I have made irresponsible remarks about government affairs, so let's stop here, let's enjoy the lanterns and watch the fireworks." Right. Once the Qixi Festival is over, there will be a curfew tomorrow, so we won’t be able to see such a beautiful scene.”

He also nodded, his ears turned red again, he seemed a little embarrassed, and said with a relaxed tone: "King Jin talked about business with you, so he must not be able to find the north. But he will also give you Xifengyuan Pawn it for money?"

I laughed and said, "Fortunately, he is stronger than you, and he can still find the North. But, the Seven-Star Crane and Golden Dragon in Xifengyuan are too fierce, the most important thing is the Dark Palace and Ziling Palace below, then It is a forced demolition that even the Sanqian city management or the underworld cannot do, which greatly affects the appreciation space of the land. So even if he gives it to the villain, the villain has no interest for the time being."

He shook his head, expressing that he didn't understand. He and I listened to the end of the pipa song again, only to feel the lingering sound echoing in the night sky.He raised his head and sighed, "This gentleman is so skilled that he is not inferior to me."

I glanced at him and thought, this man is really narcissistic.And I don't know that in this world, there are many people who are outstanding in music and art, and the first one is Emperor Ziyue Wu of Dali.

Thinking of Duan Yuerong, he couldn't help but also stared at the starry sky for a while - he didn't know where he and Xiyan were spending the holiday at this moment.

When he arrived, he added, "It's a pity that it's a pipa. If this gentleman plays a long flute instead, I'm afraid the oriole will come out of the valley. It's been three days around the beam, and I can't make it."

I let out a long sigh, sighing to myself that it would be too wasteful for Yuan’s family not to open a conservatory in modern times, and I couldn’t help looking at him with admiration for the first time from the bottom of my heart.

Sima Yun suddenly turned his head, raised his eyebrows at me and said, "Do you still have the mask I gave you last time?"

"Palace master, please rest assured," I made a pious revolutionary gesture with both hands, "the villain has been putting the mask given by his wife in the shrine and offering it like a Bodhisattva."

"You are really smart for the rest of your life, and you are confused for a while. You put on a mask and come to the Dark Palace. Everything in the Dark Palace is yours. What are you talking about?"

For some reason, the ending sound of the pipa song changed suddenly, and then stopped abruptly, probably because the string was broken.

And the atmosphere of our teasing was suddenly interrupted, he looked at me very seriously, I was actually embarrassed there.

Fortunately, at this time, the boy who was looking out for the wind at the highest point of the mast shouted loudly: "Hejin Ferry is here."

The guys delivered the report loudly one by one, and I stood up, pretending I didn't hear anything, put Xiaoyu in his arms, and said firmly: "Please go to the third floor to rest for a while, I have to go down." Picking up the distinguished guest." Without looking at his expression, he went down the stairs to the deck of the cabin.

The big boat successfully docked at the crowded Hejin Wharf. The man had already cleared the pier, but there were still a bunch of dolls and beggars who squeezed in between the man's legs, yelling at the big boat for rewards.I yelled: "Hit..." Before the word "reward" came out, a guy came out with a stick.

I was startled, and my chest hurt again. I quickly stroked my chest and read out the word "reward". Guards stood guarding the pier.

In less than a moment, the guards of the General's Mansion came rushing to report that the general's wife will be there soon, so I disembarked and waited in peace.Holding the brocade cloak in her hands, Xiaoyu ran down from the boat panting, and tiptoed to put it on for me.

Soon, every three minutes, a group of Swallow Army cavalry came galloping, each of them wearing a Feiyan bronze emblem, came to the front, saluted me, and then stood facing me with horses on both sides. There were ten groups of guards in total.

In the end, a dozen or so guards came to the front with several small sedan chairs.The first guard was a tall, dark-skinned boy, wearing a brand-new crimson robe embroidered with gold thread. When he saw me, he jumped off the tall horse neatly and knelt down on one leg to salute me. He respectfully said, "Hello, Fourth Aunt."

I happily asked him to get up.Hey, the young man has grown taller again. He is only nine years old and has already reached my neck. How can this, this, this make me embarrassing as an elder? !
I hugged Huzi hard and kissed it, and Huzi jumped up screaming and ran away from me.I looked up to the sky triumphantly and grinned for a while, Huzi wiped off the saliva I left on his face with his little black hand, blushed and smiled and went to raise the sedan curtain for his mother, Pearl slowly led a little girl wearing a rabbit hat out of the sedan chair .

Today, she wore a homely moon-white thin satin double-breasted short jacket, and put on a high-waisted purple silk water-pattern skirt newly introduced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which made her figure even more slender and pretty.On the shoulders and arms, a pair of fish-patterned silver jumpers unhooked the long crimson silk silk, meandering to the ground, swaying slightly with the breeze, the ink hair was neatly combed into a cloud bun, some Hepu pearls fell on the bun, and the half-curved warm silk was pressed on the left side. There is a white jade comb with carved lotus pattern, a filigree chrysanthemum silver hairpin slanted on the right bun, and a pair of silver-supported oriental pearl earrings on the clove ear.

She squatted slightly, and lightly supported the little rabbit with her forearm, and the two gold-encrusted white jade lotus bracelets on Hao's wrists touched lightly, making a pleasant sound.She walked towards me slowly, stood still under the bright starry sky, her beautiful eyes were shining, reflecting the brilliant fireworks on the bank, and she smiled gently at me, feeling radiant all at once.

I couldn't help secretly praising, what a gentle, demure and beautiful lady, Da Xiong is really blessed.

I had just met with Pearl, when a bunch of children poured out of the sedan chair and surrounded them, each of them vying for my hug.It turned out that this time Pearl left the smallest little beast at home to take care of, and the rest of the children were brought out.

I hugged the lightest bunny from her hand, and led them into the boat with a smile, leading them to the third floor.

I didn't find Hongcui Goddess in the big army.The children scrambled to tell me that Grandma Hongcui ate a few extra bowls of sour plum soup yesterday, and she had a stomachache today, so she was not allowed to go out.We regretted for a while, and then arrived at the door of the third floor.Leading Pearl's family to enter the door, Yao Ji had already stood excitedly at the door, and Que'er respectfully saluted Pearl.

I closed the door and quietly backed out, not disturbing their family reunion anymore.At that time, I felt a sense of accomplishment of consummation of merit and virtue. Although I was frightened by the evil power of the dark palace to find a way to let Yao Ji and Pearl meet, but now seeing this family reunion, I feel that I have done a good deed.And doing a good deed in the original family is actually a very rare thing!

I yawned, and asked Weiwei to walk around with Yuhua, distracting the people around, and said to Xiaoyu, "Lead the way."

Xiaoyu blushed, and murmured: "Sir, you have good eyesight."

"I'm your husband, so I naturally know how many bends the small intestine in your stomach has." I pointed to the uppermost private room and asked with a smile, "Is there someone from the south?"

Xiaoyu nodded his head, with a hint of excitement hidden in his eyes.

"Minqing is here?"

Xiaoyu just smiled and said nothing.Hey, this little girl, now her ideas are getting bigger and bigger.At this time, the flute sounded from the top floor again, and it was indeed more graceful and poignant than the pipa just now.

When we got to the private room on the top floor, a tall figure was playing the flute on the top floor in the shadow of the window.

I opened the door, only to see an eight or nine-year-old girl combing her horns, lying on the concubine Xiang's couch by the window, dangling her two little feet, resting her chin on her hands, looking out at the beautiful scenery outside the window. with.

Her two horns are covered with exquisite silver grass insect bead nets, and a lifelike gold hairpin of jade feather cicada is inserted on the left side. The cicada head of the hairpin holds a piece of South China Sea red coral in its mouth, and it is worn on each of her two little hands. There are three circles of small silver bracelets inlaid with rhino horns carved with blessings and longevity patterns, and three delicate small silver locks are dropped on each bracelet, which jingle frequently.

She turned her head suddenly, her pink makeup was full of surprise, her big round eyes with single eyelids immediately filled with tears, she jumped off the chair and rushed towards me, hugging my thigh, crying loudly, "Daddy. "

I wept with joy, hugged the little girl tightly, and kissed for a long time, "Xi Yan."

Just when she was moved, she heard Jin Zhenyu's voice behind her and said calmly: "Xiyan, you stained your mother's clothes."

I turned around in shock, only to see a lute with broken strings on the grape-seed qin table, and a tall man standing beside the qin table, with a handsome face, shining purple pupils, enchanting, like a demon moon, holding a pipa The bamboo flute came towards me—it was Duan Yuerong, Emperor Wu of Dali.

It never occurred to me that he would come in person.No wonder both Yuan Qingshan and Sima Yun were full of admiration for the luthier's skills.I'm so stupid, looking at the world, besides Duan Yuerong, who else can have such superb piano skills?

I looked at his beautiful face, and for a moment I stood there in a daze, at a loss for what to do.

Instead, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Come on!"

I nodded in a daze, and blurted out the same words involuntarily, "You... are here."

Suddenly thinking that he had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he lowered his head and changed his words: "Why is Your Majesty here? If someone finds out, it will be very dangerous."

His purple pupils looked at me erratically for a while, like colleagues who were forced to work overtime together until nine o'clock in the evening before parting, the lazy and familiar eyes when we met again at work in the morning.

He said to me calmly, "My daughter misses you."

He managed to gag me.I hugged Xi Yan and peeked at him.I saw him combing an ordinary bun, wearing a purple gold pearl crown, wearing a magnolia flower black gauze with magenta gold thread, revealing a tight-fitting scarlet knot and arrow sleeves, so rich and romantic.And after being tempered by politics and war in the past year, my whole person has become more and more majestic and arrogant, which makes me unable to look directly at him.I lowered my eyes and said something casually, "Your Majesty's hair grows really fast."

I regretted it as soon as I said it.How could I have forgotten that Duan Yuerong shaved off her hair in a fit of anger when she heard the news of my wedding with Feibai.Fortunately, over the past year or so, he has cultivated quite well. He stared at me for a while without changing his face, and said briefly and lightly: "Wig."

On the contrary, my face turned red all of a sudden, and my heart was full of sadness and guilt. I wanted to have a good talk with him, but I didn't know where to start. In the end, I had to say a word: "I'm sorry."

"I don't want to hear this." He smiled faintly, "You should never say these three words to me, because you can't afford these three words."

Sorry!Sorry!What a shame!
In the end I chose to be speechless.I lowered my head and hugged Xiyan and sat on the chair.It's better as a daughter, waving her hands to prevent Duan Yuerong from scolding me, "Mother, don't make daddy unhappy, otherwise daddy won't go back with you."

As soon as I said this, my head lowered and my face became redder, and I couldn't answer my daughter at all.

This time it was Duan Yuerong who helped me out, and came over to hug Xiyan, "Little monkey spirit, you see that you are about to toss your mother to pieces, let dad see your mother too." After saying that, he hugged her Xiyan was sitting next to me on Xiangfei's couch.

The aura of agarwood hit me, and I was in a trance.

In fact, he didn't look at me, just sat side by side with me, looking up at the starry sky, silent.

I twisted my sleeves, not knowing what to say.There was a moment of silence between the two sides, only a terrible silence.

Seeing that neither of us spoke, Xiyan smiled and slowly came over and sat on my lap, hugging me.

I hugged my daughter in my arms and talked to her some children's language.

Xi Yan crackled about her surroundings almost at the speed of light:

Why Huashan has an extra Cuihua mother, now I can get out of bed;
A while ago, many palace officials and classmates got sick. Even she and Xiaoyi had a fever for two days, covered with blisters, but Huashan was fine. She was very scared, and Huashan came to her side to take care of her. , she was very moved, and later Zheng Qiao gave her a very bitter medicine, which cured her;

Xiaoyi's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and he can't beat him more and more;
Xiaoyi's temper is also getting bigger and bigger, whenever she sees her with Huashan, she will be very angry, she is very sad and so on...

The palms of her hands that held me were covered in sweat, but she was reluctant to let go.

I kept nodding in agreement, and sometimes I couldn't help amusing her, but my tears couldn't help streaming down, wetting Xiyan's shoulders.Duan Yuerong silently handed over a piece of embroidered red silk, and I rudely blew my nose when I took it. After wiping my nose, I realized that the silk was exquisitely embroidered with large hibiscus flowers, and it was his handicraft. , I feel embarrassed for a moment.

"You're so stupid," Duan Yuerong said with a straight face, "You've made yourself dirty."

Xiyan burst out laughing, and I couldn't help but smirked, and casually put the silk into my arms, and continued to hug Xiyan with my head down, stroking Xiyan's soft top hair with my chin.

The little girl is really heavy now, Wen Wen's little butt is pressing on my thigh, and it hurts a bit.

The new moon bent over the middle sky, and Xiyan was finally tired and yawned.

I said softly: "Xiyan will sleep next to the empress for a while, and the empress will not leave."

But Xiyan opened her eyes wide, worriedly hugging me, and talked for a while, stiffening for more than ten minutes, her single eyelids gradually fell down.

Duan Yuerong gently took her bird gold cloak, put it on Xiyan lightly, and then motioned for me to give Xiyan to him.He hugged Xiyan, raised his shoulders slightly and swayed past the glazed curtain, and walked in slowly and lightly, and I followed in.

He put Xiyan on the hibiscus mat, saw that the citrine pillow was too big and too hard, so he took it away with a frown, and slightly shook off the bird gold cloak, his eyes immediately shone with bright colors.He turned the peacock fur over to expose the brocade, then rolled it up to make a soft pillow for Xiyan, and then took a small brocade quilt from the side to cover Xiyan.

I saw that his gestures were dexterous and skillful, and his expression was focused, which seemed to be normal. I couldn't help being moved, and I felt even more ashamed.

We went to the outside room again, and sat face to face at the round table, but we were met with silence again.

We listened quietly to the sound of waves crashing on the shore, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras wafting from time to time in our ears.

His eyes became more and more vicious, so I slowly turned my eyes away and pretended to look at the surrounding scenery.
