Hua Manlou wanted to make Qiao Heng's friend, and since he had made up his mind, he began to think about how to open his mouth and invite the other party to live at Hua's house for a while.

The injuries on Qiao Heng's meridians are unusual, if he doesn't treat them well, he will let them go like this, and he doesn't know how many days he will have to stay up to heal. Everyone in the world knows that the Hua family worships a miracle doctor, and the Hua family is friendly with it, Hua Manlou hopes that Qiao Heng can go to the Hua family, for no one else, it is this miracle doctor.

In the past few days, Qiao Heng could see that Hua Manlou had something to say in front of him, but he always looked like he didn't know how to speak, he just didn't know.

Hua Manlou felt that calling Qiao Heng "Qiao Gongzi" all the time was too rusty, so he asked him if he had a cousin.

Qiao Heng didn't have the intention of making things up temporarily, and said directly: "Brother Hua just calls me 'Ziping'." The "Ziping" in his mouth is the expression of his life.

Hua Manlou tasted it for a while, and asked with a smile: "I don't know which Ping?"

"'The clouds and rain are shining, and the world is peaceful'. This is what King Nan has been telling him, so Qiao Heng directly replied to Hua Manlou with King Nan's statement.

Although Qiao Heng has never stated his identity, Hua Manlou can also estimate one or two through daily interactions. The other party is by no means a simple person in the rivers and lakes, but seems to have something to do with the people in the official eunuchs, if this is the case, "the clouds and rain are shining, and the world is peaceful" is really a good ambition. Hua Manlou was a little emotional.

If Qiao Heng knew what Hua Manlou was thinking, he would probably only laugh out loud. What is the clouds and rain? Extensive benevolence is called cloud and rain. He is now a mud bodhisattva who crosses the river and can hardly protect himself, how can he have spare time to give grace to the world! It's ridiculous that he can't even do it alone, what can he talk about helping the world!

It is worth mentioning that the words of his life were actually not taken by King Nan, nor were they taken by Ye Gucheng for his disciples after going to Baiyun City, of course, it was not taken by himself, but when the first emperor was still alive, he took it for Qiao Heng, who had not yet grown up at that time.

Nanwang didn't like this word, but Qiao Heng didn't. Balance and balance are synonymous, and it is inevitable that there will be some empathy.

It's just that neither side can explain the reason in front of each other.

At that time, the first emperor said to the king of the south: "I know very well how much life I have left. Between you and my brothers, let's avoid so many polite nonsense. It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see my imperial nephew grow up to perform the crown ceremony, and I can't do much, so I will draw up a table first, I just hope you don't think you're a brother and a brother. ”

King Nan said with a smile: "The imperial brother is brilliant, and it is really good that the kid can be taken by the imperial brother." ”

The first emperor first pondered for a while, and then when he looked up, he saw a painting hanging on the wall that had been handed down from the previous dynasty, as if he suddenly had an inspiration, and said: "Inuping" is a good word. Flat, positive also. I hope he can grow into an upright man in the future. Let's call Ziping. ”

King Nan was stunned for a moment, his full title was King Pingnan, because the father and son avoided it, he never expected the other party to take such a word in advance.

Flat, positive also.

He didn't believe it, not a word of it, and he didn't believe that his good brother really thought so in his heart. is the same dragon son and phoenix grandson, one is the respect of the Ninety-Five, and the other is a courtier, far away from home. The other party is not worried about him, secretly beat him, abide by his duty, don't be unwilling, this is the real intention!

From beginning to end, the face of the first emperor was full of pleasant face and fatigue that was not long in life. His eyes seemed to fall on his brother Nanwang, who was about to leave the capital from now on and could not return to Beijing without an edict, and seemed to be looking at the calligraphy of "Jienanshan" hanging on the wall behind Nanwang-

Haotian is uneven, and my king is restless. Do not punish their hearts, and complain about their righteousness.

The father of the family recites to investigate the king's teachings. The heart of the deceitful is to the animal of all nations.

......

Coincidentally, in less than ten years, it is the birthday of the current head of the Hua family.

Hua Manlou was still thinking about how to invite him, so as not to be rejected by Qiao Heng. After all, if he directly mentioned the matter of letting the doctor of the Hua family see his injury for him, looking at his heart, he would probably refuse his invitation directly in order not to owe favors. He thought about it again and again, and there was no better excuse, so he simply used his father's birthday as a reason.

Hua Manlou invited: "Eighteen days later, it happens to be my father's birthday." I wonder if Ziping would like to go with me?"

"Since Brother Hua is invited, how can there be a deserved gift. I was only worried that it would be a bit presumptuous to make a surprise visit, lest Brother Hua and his family would think that I was too annoying. ”

Hearing Qiao Heng say this, Hua Manlou understood that he had actually agreed, and he was naturally very happy.

"My parents have been looking forward to me making more friends, and it is too late to welcome Ziping, so I don't feel bothered. ”

"Brother Hua said this, and I was relieved. ”

It stands to reason that Qiao Heng, as the prince of the Southern Wang, let himself leave the fief for such a long time at this time, he really shouldn't delay his efforts on these irrelevant things, and should return to the fiefdom as soon as possible.

But Qiao Heng didn't leave to return for a long time.

Voluntarily staying in one place and having to be stuck in one place are two very different concepts.

How can a caged bird be confused with a bird that nests on a fork of a tree because it is tired and rests and no longer flies. And what qualifications do you have to talk about?

He also wanted to make the prudent words and deeds based on self-esteem "evolve and upgrade", so that he could rush back to the fiefdom with sincere fear, restlessness, and restlessness.

But after trying hard for a long time, I couldn't do it. Since you can't do it, it's better to go with the flow.

But why should he be cautious and cautious everywhere? Isn't it because he can better protect himself with self-esteem? But now he only has this pitiful and ridiculous self-esteem that can be called his own. Without it, nothing he could do would be meaningful.

What he saw and experienced in his eyes was something that countless people could not access in their lifetime.

No matter how vast the land of the Central Plains is, in front of the whole world, the confidence is suddenly lost. And no matter how vast the fiefdom of the Southern King is, compared with all the realms under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, it seems that it is nothing more than that.

He had seen the wind roll up the waves and the sea rising into the sky. The coniferous forests that grow in the subarctic zone are born with a cold gray-green color. The glaciers and snowfields of the far north are pale, silent, and solemn. The desert where countless souls were buried, the sand and dust swept up by the wind, were quiet in the midst of slaughter. The vast stars, the endless galaxy, you think you are standing on a small piece of ordinary land, but in fact you are standing on the stars, standing in the infinite universe.

When others respectfully enshrined the imperial power in the supreme position, he had already seen the day when the imperial power was completely declined and annihilated by the wheel of history in countless reincarnations.

The difference brought about by this experience, knowledge, and way of thinking is like a chasm between him and each other in the world. Either give up the ego, submit to the world, surrender to the world. Either assert yourself and be an indifferent reticulator, a sober madman, or a rebellious maniac.

Speaking back to the birthday of the flower, since you are going to visit the flower family, of course, you must prepare a birthday gift.

To be honest, this job is handed over to Jin Jiuling, who is not tired of eating, and even plays with women, and has to play with Jin Jiuling, the most expensive, most obedient, and most beautiful woman in the Qinglou. His own taste, coupled with the fact that he and the old man of the Hua family have known each other for a long time, he will definitely be able to pick out the most appropriate and most desirable gifts.

But sometimes things go bad at the "most appropriate and desirable" level.

As a young man who is completely unfamiliar with the Hua family and is visiting the Hua family for the first time, it is hard not to think about the prepared gifts so perfectly.

Qiao Heng didn't want to put more thought into this, so he simply decided to take the box of pearls he brought out from home as a birthday gift. The box is not big, it is slightly larger than the palm, but it is worth a lot.

Others regard them as treasures, and to Qiao Heng they are just some dispensable objects.

There are a lot of things that Nanwangfu lacks, but this pearl is absolutely not lacking.

The eighteen pearls that were stolen in the original book are now impossible to be stolen by Jin Jiuling, and they are still piled up in the warehouse of Nanwangfu. According to the unit of measurement of this dynasty, one bucket is equal to ten buckets, and ten buckets are equal to ten liters, even if Qiao Heng uses them as marbles and stones to practice and play.

What's more, among these eighteen pearls, there are still several pearls. Although pearls are beautiful, they are easy to oxidize after a long time, which is the so-called "old pearl yellow". Naturally, there will be no such pearls in the palace that are no longer as bright as ever, if you count the "old pearls" that are replaced every year in the treasury, there are only eighteen pearls!

After Hua Manlou knew that Qiao Heng was ready for the birthday gift, he couldn't cry or laugh. He said: "I originally wanted Ziping to live in Huajia for a while, and by the way, let Doctor Song who lived in Huajiabao diagnose and treat Ziping. ”

Qiao Heng heard Hua Manlou talking about Doctor Song, and asked, "Brother Hua said Doctor Song, but Song asked Doctor Song?"

"It's this Song Divine Doctor. What's the matter, Ziping knows him?"

I can't talk about knowing each other, but I am afraid that the people in the entire Peach Blossom Fort together do not know much about Song Wencao alone. Qiao Heng said without revealing the slightest clue: "I wanted to get acquainted with Doctor Song, but unfortunately I didn't have it. ”

Hua Manlou didn't think much about it.

......

Huajiabao –

For the birthday of the Hua family, although there are still more than ten days to arrive, the people of Huajiabao have been busy early.

Hua Manlou's generation, not counting the side branches, there are only seven brothers who are close to each other. Don't look at it, it's about to be your birthday, but Hua Ruling knows very well that the family is estimated to be untidy.

The boss had the idea of leaving his business behind to join the army two years ago, and now he is still in the barracks on the northern border. The third child served in the imperial court, and it was not possible to go back if he wanted to, that is, the female dependents of the family could still come over.

However, Hua Ruling has already passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he can see everything, as long as his children and grandchildren are happy, he does not force them to come to him for his birthday. And he also understands that it's not that they don't want to come, but that they can't. It's just that he hasn't seen those sons who are not at home all day for a long time, and he still misses them a little.

What worries him the most, of course, is that the building is full of flowers.

Qitong hasn't been home for a long time, and he's not as good as his brothers, because he can't see, it's really worrying just as long as he thinks about it. While reading the letter sent home by Seven Children, he thought about these messy chores.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Hua Ruling said in a deep voice: "Enter." ”

The door was pushed open, and a man who looked to be in his thirties and looked five points similar to Hua Ruling strode in. After he came in, he saluted Hua Ruling, and said loudly with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but my father's body is still safe?" I look at my father's energetic appearance, it must be very good, I wish my father happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan!"

Hua Ruling was still reading the letter with his head down, but he was happy when he heard the voice of the visitor. He looked up and saw that it was Saburo who he thought would not go home.

"Good fellow, why didn't you run home as a household servant in the court?

Hua Jia Saburo said: "How is it possible, I am on the fold." ”

As he spoke, he asked again: "Is my eldest brother coming back this year?" I heard Uncle Wang say that Qitong has not come back yet, when will he come back?"

"Your eldest brother sent a letter a few days ago, saying that he was not coming back. As for your seventh brother," Hua Ruling shook the letter in his hand at this point, "According to what I said above, it is estimated that I will be back in a few days." Don't talk about them, why are you going back to Beijing, and how long can you stay at home?"

Hua Jia Saburo said: "The saint said that you can return to Beijing before the 20th of next month. ”

The two who hadn't seen each other for a long time first chatted about trivial matters, and then talked about things in the court for a while, and most of the hours passed, and Hua Jia Saburo was ready to leave.

When he was about to go out, Hua Ruling said: "Let the housekeeper arrange the guest room, Qitong's letter said that he came home with friends this time." Except for Lu Xiaofeng's kid, Qitong rarely brought back a friend, but he must be entertained. ”

Hua Jia Saburo: "Father, don't worry, just leave this matter to me." 166 Reading Network
