Flowers are expensive

Chapter 189
The remaining two Cao family members did not leave.The two of them approached Li Hua, cupped their hands and smiled, "I'm sorry, my host! We came here to make trouble with you on impulse, so don't take it to heart."

Lihua said: "I know it's the housekeeper Cao who asked you to come here. It's okay, and I won't argue with you. But, I want to ask, did the housekeeper say that the bone is her cousin?"

"Isn't it?" One of them hurriedly replied, "We are not sure! As you said, who can recognize someone with just one finger? But she said that she had seen her cousin and Mrs. Yuan After chatting in the woods on the mountain, I decided that it was her cousin, and said that we must seek justice for her cousin! We also wanted to vent our anger on our brothers, so we came with her. Don't be surprised! !"

"No wonder, don't do this in the future, go back!" Lihua waved her hand.

"No, that..."

"Anything else?"

"Is there...is there any shortage of people here? We are both quite capable of work, you see..."

Lihua suddenly understood, nodded and smiled, and said, "Working here is a lot of rules, and you have to sign a labor agreement. If you really want to come, come to me tomorrow!"

"That's good, that's good!"

The two hurriedly thanked Lihua, and said a few kind words to Deng Kailuo in a friendly manner, before turning around and leaving.When Mrs. Gong stepped forward and was about to take out the money, Lihua smiled and said, "Who really wants your money? Just don't be so impulsive next time. You will always suffer more when you fight with others."

"How dare you..."

"If you feel embarrassed, hurry up and make another table, everyone is still waiting to eat!"

Gong Shi hurriedly nodded and smiled, then turned and ran to the kitchen.Lihua threw the three pieces of silver to Yutao, and said, "Take it! It will be the Double Ninth Festival in a few days, and this silver is only for the housekeeper to honor us for the Double Ninth Festival."

"Let me arrange it?" Yutao asked with a surprised smile.

"I'll leave it to you, order the food and drinks to make everyone happy."

The long-term women in the yard all cheered.Yutao was especially happy.On weekdays, others call her a small manager, but she hasn't really taken care of any big things yet!This time, Lihua gave her the money to arrange the food and drink for the Double Ninth Festival. She wished that tomorrow would be the Double Ninth Festival!
Lihua collected the pens, paper and abacus and went back to the house. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Yuanyin sitting on a bamboo chair.Fortunately, she has long been used to his elusiveness, so Li Hua asked calmly, "Where did you go again?"

Yuan Yin didn't answer immediately, but crossed his fingers and sat there with his head slightly lowered, with a more solemn expression on his face than ever before.Lihua suddenly noticed something strange, put down the things in her hands, walked over and leaned on his knees and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you feel happy yesterday?"

Yuan Yin's eyelashes moved slightly, as if he had just recovered from his contemplation.His face was really ugly, as if he had just been hit by something.Lihua couldn't help asking anxiously: "What happened?"

"I want to leave for a while." Yuan Yin said with lowered eyebrows.

"Leave? Where are you going? Back to Jingyou City?"

"No."

"That's to..."

"Go back to Bianjing City."

"Oh...then I want to go with you too?"

Yuan Yin raised his eyes, shook his head gently while holding Lihua's hand, and said, "You don't have to follow me, it's too dangerous for you to follow me to Bianjing at this time."

"Did something important happen in Bianjing City?" Lihua asked curiously.

"Ah."

"what's up?"

Yuan Yin's hand holding Lihua tightened suddenly, his eyebrows frowned like a pleated skirt, and after several seconds of silence, he slowly said: "My father... has passed away."

"Ah?" Lihua cried out in shock, "Your father... died? Is he dead? The emperor is dead?"

"Ah."

No wonder Yuan Yin's face is so ugly, no wonder his expression is so solemn, it's because the current emperor Song Taizong died!Li Hua suddenly felt a lot of pity, held Yuan Yin's hand tightly, looked up at him and said: "Poor child, father is gone, so pitiful! It's okay, don't be sad, Hua Hua is here!"

With a sour smile on the corner of Yuan Yin's mouth, he reached out and patted her small face and said, "I'm not sad. He died... I'm not sad at all, sooner or later."

"But he is also your father after all!"

"Father is the most tender word for ordinary people, but when it comes to the royal family, it's just a status." Yuan Yin's tone was very flat, but it was hard to hide the faint sadness behind the flatness.Although he emphasized that he was not sad, Lihua could feel from the temperature of his palm that his heart was cold.In this hot weather, whose hands are not warm, but his hands seem to have just entered the ice cellar.

"Are you going to the funeral?" Lihua asked, holding his hand tightly.

"Yes, I have to go to the funeral. This is a courtesy." He said as if he didn't want to go, and he went because of the etiquette.

"Then go!" Lihua nodded and said, "This is what you should do. You should go see your father off for the last time. This is the filial piety you should do as a man and child. No matter how he treated you before he was alive, he is still you Dad, isn't it?"

Yuan Yin nodded heavily and said, "Well, I'm going to Bianjing for the funeral immediately. When I'm not around, there will be spies to protect you."

"You don't have to worry about me, I can protect myself! Naturally, it's better to have spies!" Lihua deliberately smiled brightly like a flower, although she was very reluctant in her heart.This time is different from last time, but the reluctance is getting heavier and heavier.Thinking of separating from Yuan Yin immediately, she felt as if more than half of her heart had been ripped out.

A little smile finally appeared on Yuan Yin's face, and he wrapped his body around her and said softly: "Come and go for at most a month, I will hurry back as soon as possible. I also want to take you there, but unfortunately, Bianjing City is too chaotic right now. , the situation is unstable, it would be wrong for you to go.”

Lihua leaned her face on his shoulder and nodded, "I understand! I'll just stay here until you come back!" Although she hasn't experienced any major events, she has watched too much on TV.The death of an emperor means more princes killing each other.It was a wise decision for Zhao Yuanyin not to take her to Bianjing.Although both of them were very reluctant to part with each other, it would be bad if they became a burden in Bianjing City.

"Yeah." Yuan Yin couldn't help tightening his ring a little more.

Lihua smiled and said, "Before I left, I didn't forget to tease me! Hurry up and leave! If you go late, people will say that you are not filial, and the historian will write nonsense."

"You still understand this?"

Lihua imitated the teacher's appearance, twitched her beard and said, "I understand slightly! I understand somewhat!"

Yuan Yin's smile finally bloomed, and he looked at her reluctantly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to the things you slightly understand when I come back."

"Row!"

"When I come back, you should pack your things and go back to Jingyou City with me, you know?"

"know."

Yuan Yin rubbed her fleshy chin, stared at her smile like fireworks, and suddenly said two words with some emotion: "That's great."

Yuan Yin didn't finish these words, but actually he wanted to say, it's nice to have Lihua by his side.

"What's so good?" Lihua blinked and asked.

"It's nothing," Yuan Yin let go of his hands and stood up, "I will come back as soon as possible. Secret agents are always around you. If anything goes wrong, they will come out to protect you."

"Then you have to be careful on the road!"

"I will."

"By the way," Li Hua suddenly remembered something, pulled Yuan Yin and said, "Do you have a brother named Zhao Heng?"

"Yes, you've heard of it?"

"No...it's just that I think his name sounds like an emperor."

Yuan Yin smiled and said: "It seems that you are not only a master of school, but also a fortune teller? You can know this just by hearing your name?"

"Don't underestimate me, my sixth sense is very powerful! Anyway, you just need to remember it." Lihua thought silently in her heart, is my sister going to tell you that after the death of Song Taizong, Zhao Heng will succeed?Even if you say it, I'm afraid you won't believe it.

"Okay, I remember."

Yuan Yin hugged Lihua for a long time, and when the spy came to pick him up, he reluctantly let go of Lihua, kissed Lihua's forehead, and whispered: "Wait for me to come back."

"Yeah!" Lihua gave him a positive nod, and then he turned around and opened the door to leave.

As soon as he left, Lihua felt that the room was empty.Thinking of having to sleep alone with her pillow next to her at night, she decisively decided to bring Yutao as her companion.Mo Xiang is unlikely, once Tian Yisheng leaves, Mo Xiang has to go back to take care of the two old people every day.

After Yuanyin left, when Deng Kailuo asked about it, Lihua said that he had something to do outside the mountain and would come back after a while.No one doubted anything, after all, Yuan Yin was also a boss, and it was common for him to work in the mountains.

Besides, Yuan Yin took two spies out of the mountain that day.In the Fugui Inn in the town, Bingchan was already waiting for him there.The first thing Bing Can said when he saw him was: "Didn't you bring your wife?"

"What are you taking her for? Watching a play?" Yuan Yin glanced at Bing Can and asked, "So curious about her?"

"I'm just curious, are you really willing to keep her here?"

"It's better than taking me to Bianjing City to watch those people fighting. Is there any result?"

"No, the two gangs are fighting. The Empress has sent a secret order, asking you to meet her as soon as you enter Beijing."

"What do you mean?"

"Her thoughts are very simple, she just wants the eldest prince to take the throne."

"Does she think my eldest brother, who has been insane, is still suitable for taking the throne?" Yuan Yin's brows furrowed instantly.This was the most ridiculous thing he thought. His elder brother drove his father crazy. He thought that only a vicious woman like Wu Zetian could do it.

Bingcan smiled coldly and said: "A woman's heart is a needle in the sea, that's not bad. But when you arrive in the capital, you still have to meet her, at least to express your position."

"I have no position, everyone is the same, I don't care, and I don't think the eldest brother will care. What about the other faction? Which role?"

"Zhao Jin."

The corner of Yuan Yin's mouth twitched, revealing an inexplicable smile.Bingcan asked curiously: "What's the matter? Do you think Zhao Heng can't be the emperor? Although he was not born of the same mother as you, he is still a good person."

"Interesting!" Yuan Yin nodded slightly, exhaled, and said with his hands behind his back, "It actually hit the point for that little girl."

"Who?"

"Your new wife said that Zhao Heng's name sounds like he has the ability to be an emperor."

Bingruo couldn't help being handsome, but even if there was a smile on his Bing face, it was just a faint touch, and it disappeared soon.He asked curiously: "The new lady still looks at faces?"

"But she hasn't even seen Zhao Heng... No, she used to be in Wang Lucheng's house, so she might have seen him."

"It's fine no matter what. Anyway, let's just watch the two factions fight. It doesn't make any difference to us who becomes the emperor. Are we ready to leave, Your Highness? The carriage has been waiting outside for a long time."

"Walk."

Yuan Yin and Bing Can left the gate of the Fugui Inn together, and boarded an exquisite four-horse carriage.When the carriage drove out of the town at high speed, an oncoming carriage blocked the road.The carriage quickly recognized the owner of the opposite carriage and stopped naturally.
