Chapter Seventy-One: My Heart Pleases

As soon as Hua Ling's words fell, she heard that something seemed to be running amok in the next room, crashing into the chaos of the house. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info She pursed the corners of her lips, "Mouse." ”

Shen Laibao looked at Hua Ling, and always felt that she had an incredible potential that was stimulated. Seeing that he suddenly didn't say anything, Hua Ling looked up, and his eyes disappeared in an instant, and the look that he was about to kill people just now disappeared, and his voice was soft, "Brother Noble, what are you thinking?" ”

“…… It's nothing. ”

Hua Ling lowered her head and finally used the dagger to cut the last rope wrapped around him, and her hand was swift and neat. Shen Laibao reached out and held her face and stared straight at her. Staring at Hua Ling's cheeks flushed, "What are you doing?" ”

"Are you the little flower who lives next door to me?"

"yes

。 ”

Shen Laibao smiled bitterly and let go of his hand. The rope was wrapped so tightly that his limbs were numb, and he was still a little overturned when he stood up, but Hua Ling immediately held him up. But the person who came was too heavy, and she almost didn't stand firm, "Brother Noble, you look thin, why is it so heavy." ”

"Dressed to look thin, undressed with meat."

Hua Ling's face was red again, quiet as a cat, and the girl who said she was going to slaughter the plate just now was like two people. Shen Laibao looked down at her, demure and beautiful, he actually wanted to kiss her again.

"Ahem."

The two ignored guards in the room couldn't stand it, but they didn't receive an order to leave, so they simply coughed to remind them that there were still people in the house.

Shen Laibao pulled Hua Ling to go out, but Hua Ling paused, picked up the dagger on the ground and walked to a secret guard, raised his head and said, "Tell your little young master of the plate, Brother Lai Bao and I were injured to see the doctor's money, the money for the three of us, and the money for me to break an umbrella, a total of two hundred taels, let him send it to the inn." ”

Dark Guard: "...... Good. ”

Hua Ling nodded solemnly, and then grabbed the corner of Shen Laibao's clothes and walked out.

Coming out of the courtyard, there was still a light rain in the sky, which was not obvious, and Hua Ling didn't care and went straight out. But Shen Laibao was taller than her, and the rain formed fine white pearls on her hair, and when she touched it slightly, her hair became wet. He lifted his wide sleeves to shield her from the wind and rain. Hua Ling raised her face to look, glanced at him, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Stupid, you and my brother are so good, how can you fall into the hands of my brother." ”

"It's so reassuring to him, where could we have imagined that the plate would do such an excessive thing."

"It's excessive...... But I don't seem to hate him. Hua Ling's steps are slow, there is no one in this alley, walking side by side with him, you can feel the temperature on his body closely, it seems so warm in the cold spring early morning, "He wants to see if I will come, is it true...... Like you. I've come, and I've seen you...... Well, you like me too. ”

Shen Laibao smiled, "How can you see it?" ”

"When I fell down with a fishnet." Hua Ling's inky eyelashes lifted slightly, "You look like the sky is about to fall." ”

Shen Laibao had no idea how panicked his expression looked, and he asked, "Did you fall anywhere?" ”

Only then did Hua Ling remember, "My arm seems to have fallen again." ”

"I'll go buy medicine when I pass by the pharmacy, and now I'll take the medicine, and I'll take it again when I get back to the inn." Shen Laibao said again, "Even so, you don't hate plates." ”

Hua Ling said, "He just loves to play, but he has no sense of proportion, which is a headache, and he can't be allowed to do this again in the future." ”

Shen Laibao suddenly thought of the future...... In the future, when the cave room is made, maybe the dishes will go crazy again, and the trouble will be turned upside down...... Inexplicably a little panicked!

Hua Ling asked, "Brother Noble, what are you thinking?" ”

Shen Laibao hurriedly came back to his senses and slapped everything he was thinking about just now, "It's nothing." Out of the alley, he immediately noticed that Hua Ling was walking two steps slower, becoming a diagonal position, he stopped and looked back, "Xiaohua." ”

"You go first, don't let people see us walking together."

"No one in this town knows us."

"What if there is?" Hua Ling looked at him, she didn't want to be said in the future that they had agreed to marry, so that the reputation of the Hua family and the Shen family would not be good

Anyway...... She will always marry him, so why rush to save this moment.

Some concepts that have been ingrained in Shen Laibao's bones have not been changed for so many years, and things that can't be too close to the girl's family will always be naturally forgotten. But now looking at the flower bell, the deep-rooted thing is also being pulled out naturally. Only then did he know that it was not that he couldn't change it, but that he didn't want to change it.

But for her sake, he was willing to accept some of the old habits of the world.

He said softly, "You go ahead, I'll look at you, feel at ease." ”

Hua Ling's face is slightly revealed, which is indescribably pleasant. She walked briskly, swept past him, lifted the corners of his dress, and glided over the hem of her skirt, as if inextricably linked.

There are beautiful women in the north, who are left behind and independent. One look at the city, and then look at the country.

Shen Laibao was stunned to see her walk by lightly, only to feel that the years were quiet.

&&&&&

The spring rain continues, and the morning light is missing the appointment again today.

After the wee hours of the morning, it was still a little dark in the house.

Hua Ling returned to the inn, went to wash up first, and then changed into bedclothes. As she sat on the bed, she felt the fatigue of the night hit her, eroding every bone in her. She relaxed and lay down and stretched out.

The smell of the medicinal wine on her arm was still a little pungent, and she rubbed it gently. It wasn't until she heard the door next door open and close that she turned around and pressed her ear against the wall, and the next door was so light that she couldn't hear anything. She was lying there like a gecko, listening and listening, and her sleepiness gradually rose, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

In the next room, Shen Laibao, who was washing his face, gently put the towel down, and even the sound of water was as low as possible. He looked at the wall for a long time before he returned to bed, pushed his father, who had taken up most of the country, into it, lay down on the side and fell asleep.

After only sleeping for an hour, Father Shen woke up and woke up Shen Laibao. Seeing that he was still lying down, he was furious, "Son, how can you become so lazy, get up quickly, and go to the backyard to play with the sword." ”

Shen Laibao slowly opened his eyes, dizzy and dizzy, "Dad, don't you just get up." ”

"Your father is drunk, are you drunk with tea?"

Shen Laibao knew that it was impossible to continue sleeping, so he had to get up, wash his face for only an hour, and pour cold water on it again. After washing his face, he felt a little more refreshed. But when you look in the mirror, your eyes are bloodshot.

Master Shen, who was waiting to tie his hair, saw his son in front of the mirror and cut his hair, clothes, and shoes, looked at him a few times, and said, "Son, aren't you going to see your sweetheart?" ”

Shen Laibao chuckled in his heart, "Of course not." ”

Master Shen chuckled, "Don't lie to your father, your father was also young." ”

Shen Laibao was speechless.

Master Shen patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "It's good to grow up, hurry up and marry home and give birth to a big fat boy." I've got a name for my grandson. ”

As long as it is not urging marriage, Shen Laibao still accepts it in daily chat, "What name?" ”

"Shen Guoku

。 ”

“……”

Old Man Shen was proud, and when he saw his son's face tightened, he asked, "This name is not good?" ”

Shen Laibao tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Not good! ”

"Why is it bad? Your father is still called Shen Jinshan, you are still called Shen Laibao, and your son is called Shen Guoku, then he will definitely be rich and rival the country. ”

Shen Laibao felt that his son would be ridiculed because of this name, and he suddenly remembered another question, his name is smooth, but ...... It always feels like the name of the male partner in the novel, no, it's the name of cannon fodder.

His brows tightened suddenly, he was really not a male protagonist at all.

Xiaohua now calls him Brother Laibao, what about after getting married? Bao, Baolang?

Shen Laibao suddenly shuddered, cannon fodder, this is definitely the name of cannon fodder! It's not a male protagonist at all.,No romance.,There's no sense of cp at all with Hua Ling.。

Seeing that his son didn't know what he was pondering, Master Shen said, "That's it, and the child will be called Shen Guoku in the future." ”

Shen Laibao, who felt that the child's name was more important than himself, came back to his senses, "Is it necessary to call this when you give birth to a daughter?" ”

"Of course not." Master Shen frowned, "I haven't thought I'll have a granddaughter...... It's better to have grandchildren. ”

"My daughter is also very good." Shen Laibao involuntarily thought of Hua Ling, how good it would be to give birth to a daughter like her.

Master Shen had already begun to worry about what his granddaughter should be called, and he was still thinking about this when he went downstairs to eat. Hua Pingsheng, who had been waiting for the Shen family's father and son all morning, saw him have such a headache, and asked with a smile, "What is Brother Shen thinking?" ”

Seeing that his son had already gone to order food, Master Shen said with a smile, "I just mentioned the name of my grandson, and I thought about what my granddaughter should be called when she was born in the future." ”

Hua Pingsheng said unexpectedly, "Noble is getting married?" ”

"It's not, it's just that he is sloppy on weekdays and cares too much about his appearance this morning, they are all from here, and he looks like a happy girl." Master Shen said, "If you can marry early, then of course you have to think about the child's name early." ”

With this sentence alone, Hua Pingsheng was even more sure that Shen Laibao liked his daughter, and he must have seen and talked about something. After a while, Shen Laibao came back to sit down after ordering food, and he looked at him a few more times, this time, a little more judgmental.

Not long after, Hua Ling also went downstairs and greeted Master Shen, but because she had seen Shen Laibao, she forgot to say hello to him. Hua Pingsheng said quietly, "If you don't understand, why don't you talk to Noble, although you are friends, you can't be rude." ”

Hua Ling and Shen Laibao said good morning at this time, looked at each other, their eyes were bloodshot, and distress flashed to each other in their eyes.

Master Shen didn't know at all, but Hua Pingsheng saw everything, which was also strange, and the two of them also saw that they liked it on weekdays, but why did they suddenly break the window paper.

Who mentioned it first?

Outside the inn door, the plate had been leaning against the pillar for a long time. He still had the dagger that the guard had given him, which he had used yesterday. He had a little headache, what did she mean by this?

He was distressed and kicked Hua Lang's leg in the stomach, "What do you mean when you say that your sister asked the dark guard to give me a dagger?" ”

Hua Lang, who had been pestered by him all night, how to think of countermeasures not to be beaten, yawned, and was so sleepy that everyone almost fell asleep on the street, "It's very simple, it's no longer okay to bear the guilt of Jing, let you apologize with death."

。 ”

The plate stared straight, "Xiaohua's heart and eyes are not so bad. ”

"My sister is angry with you, didn't she say last night that she wanted to settle accounts with you?"

"Your sister white-eyed wolf, I'm helping them have a chance to be honest. But who would have thought that I came all the way over, grabbed Shen Laibao, and tossed such a big play, almost exhausting me to death, what was the result? White-eyed wolf. ”

Hua Lang listened to the accusation on the plate, and really felt that he was crooked, "When you have a girl you like, I will kidnap her and see if you are angry with me." ”

The plate paused, as if it made some sense, so he didn't say anything, and continued to have a headache about how to enter the inn.

Hua Lang was really hungry and wanted to go in quickly, but it seemed that the plate would not go in for the time being. He wondered, "Why are you so concerned about Noble and Lingling?" ”

"Whoever marries the two of them, and who marries whom, as long as the object is not each other, I feel like I have been arched by pigs."

"It's as simple as that?"

"And I'm bored."

“…… What else? ”

"And ......," the plate said, "I want to see the two of them get married in my lifetime, and it is best to see them give birth to children, I can't beat Shen Laibao, and I'm afraid of Xiaohua, so I can only find their son to fight." ”

Hua Lang smiled, "You are only fifteen, what do you say in your lifetime, give them some time, and you will definitely be able to get your wish within three years." ”

"Oh, always keep an eye on the second young master of the Hua family in the imperial court, you should have received the news, my grandfather's health is not as good as before, and he may die at any time. We have so many enemies in the Pan family, once he dies, do you think those enemies will let me go? Of course not, so I'm going to live with me. The day he collapsed was the day the little young master of the Pan family disappeared. ”

The words are extremely relaxed, even if it involves life and death, it seems to be talking about other people's business. Hua Lang's heart was heavy, he did know that Pan Yan was not in good health, but he held on to his power, and now it seems that he will not let go until death. The more he is like this, the more he is spurned. What the plate said is not unreasonable, in the end, he may really be killed by the enemies of the Pan family.

Even if the enemy doesn't move him, the political enemy may do it in order to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

Hua Lang, who had already distinguished between the plate and Pan Yan, suddenly felt uneasy, no matter what, although the plate was a little stubborn, it was not a crime to death. Even if he used to joke with his life, now, he asked the dark guard not to hurt himself, even when he wanted his life.

He looked at the plate in the inn again, and suddenly felt that someone was patting his head, and when he looked at it, he was happy, "What are you doing with a heavy face?" I'm not dead, don't worry, even if Panzi dies, the plate won't die. ”

"Stop being so frivolous and dead." Hua Lang was solemn, "From today onwards, you and I will do more good deeds." If you go to the barracks with me, maybe your grandfather will survive for a few years, and I will work hard to survive, maybe I can keep you." ”

The plate paused slightly, didn't say anything, just said quickly, "Thank you, second brother of the Hua family." ”

It's rare to hear him call himself up, and he usually shouts with flowers, no big or small. Hua Lang felt that the plate was really not guilty of death, and only hoped that when Pan Yan died, he would have been able to keep his friend.

The inn was full of people, and the guests all went downstairs to eat one after another

Shen Laibao and Hua Ling were hungry all night, and when the two fathers finished eating, the two were still eating. Master Shen smiled at the two of them, it's good to eat like this, it's a blessing to be able to eat.

Hua Pingsheng has drunk three pots of tea, and he hasn't seen his son go downstairs, and he was about to be called when he saw his son coming in from outside the inn.

"Daddy." Hua Lang walked quickly to the front and said hello to Master Shen again.

Hua Pingsheng glanced at him, "Where did you go last night?" I didn't change my clothes, so I wasn't allowed to lie. ”

was seen through by his father at a glance, Hua Lang was a little embarrassed, he was upright, and he couldn't hide it when he heard that he couldn't lie.

"He went drinking with me last night." The plate walked through the door, and the sound was loud and not drowned out by the noise. He walked to the table and politely greeted the two elders, and when his eyes swept over Hua Ling and Shen Laibao, he felt that the eye knife stabbed him in the body. He closed his gaze and could only pretend that he didn't see.

Hua Pingsheng has a hard knot in the Pan family, but he will not embarrass the young plate, "It turned out that I went out with Little Master Pan." ”

Master Shen said with a smile, "Young man, it's the age when the blood qi is just fun, so let them go." ”

Hua Pingsheng nodded, and said, "Anyway, you can't go because of the collapse on the road ahead, I heard that there is a forest garden in this town that is very elegant and beautiful, why don't you go together?" ”

Master Shen was bored, so he agreed, leaving the four young people here.

Sending off the two elders, the plate was still sitting upright, without Su Ri's arrogance and publicity. He put his hands on his knees, his waist straightened, and after a while, he took out a money bag that was about to burst the bag and put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Hua Ling, "This is a few hundred taels of silver." ”

Hua Ling said, "I only need two hundred taels." ”

"There are about three hundred taels in it."

"I only need two hundred taels."

If the plate was usually lifted earlier, but he would have endured it, Hua Lang on the left, Shen Laibao on the right, if he dared to scold the person opposite, it was estimated that he would be attacked by the two, "I was wrong, Lingling, I shouldn't have tied up your lover, I shouldn't have ......"

Hua Ling's face flushed, "What nonsense are you talking about." ”

The plate said seriously, "Isn't Shen Laibao your lover?" ”

Shen Laibao glanced at him, and the plate straightened his waist again, as if he was more thoughtful, "I don't make fun of you, I was wrong." ”

Hua Ling said angrily, "Okay, I'm not angry with you, don't mess around in the future." Do you know how worried I was last night? I didn't sleep well all night, and I almost ran to report to the official. If the officers and soldiers are really brought in, how will this matter end? ”

"You won't." The plate smiled and said, "I said that you are not allowed to report to the official or you will tear up the ticket, so you will definitely not report to the official." ”

Hua Ling looked at him, she really couldn't be angry, and said in a soft voice, "Brother Plate, it was really bad for you to do that last night, don't do it in the future, okay?" ”

The plate nodded slightly, "Okay." ”

He won't mess around with the two of them anymore, if he ties them, he will tie Hua Lang. But I don't know if I can wait for the girl he likes to appear, and I don't know if the girl he is looking for with his eyes is as brave as Hua Ling.

The more he thought about what happened in the morning, the more he felt that Hua Ling was really a heroine among women, "Xiaohua, you are really a good girl."

。 ”

Shen Laibao pricked up his ears, "Huh? ”

The plate came back to his senses, "I'm praising Xiaohua, or praising in front of you, I didn't make any small moves behind my back." ”

"That's not the point, of course I'm happy when you praise Xiaohua. But ......," Shen Laibao said, "can you please not shout 'Little Flower'." ”

Hua Ling's cheeks fluttered again, and she had wanted to say this for a long time. Although this name was childish, she was ashamed to be shouted out in public, but when she heard this title, she knew who was calling her.

It's like a code.

A code that belongs to the two of them.

The plate fell on the table and surrendered, "Okay, I was wrong, I will never shout again." Oh, it's really troublesome to be a little lover, if you don't list a taboo list for me, I will definitely memorize it well, and I will never touch your bottom line. ”

Hua Ling really couldn't do anything about his scoundrel appearance, and said with a smile, "Brother Pan, don't play treasure, except for the name, everything is the same as before." You don't deliberately provoke Brother Noble. ”

Pan bent his eyes and smiled, "It turns out that you also know that I am stimulating him, but it's good that you don't think I like you, otherwise it would be terrible." ”

Mentioning this, Shen Laibao, who still has a shadow in his heart, also feels thrilling, but it's okay.

The four of them know a common secret, and they are honest with each other without feeling the atmosphere awkward. On the contrary, Hua Lang is very much looking forward to Shen Laibao being his brother-in-law, and he believes that he will become a good brother-in-law and husband.

Entrusting his sister to him is more reassuring than anyone else's.

The road that collapsed the next day was reopened, and it happened to be the fork in the road where they were going, so they had to separate.

When Hua Pingsheng stood at the fork in the road and said goodbye to Master Shen, he was even more surprised, if the collapse was a section of the road ahead, not just outside the town, where could his daughter and Shen Laibao see it.

Is it really fate?

Shen Laibao thought that he would not be able to see Hua Ling again until half a month later, and he was reluctant. But Hua Ling had already gotten into the car and didn't say goodbye to him.

As he was about to get into the carriage, he looked at her carriage again, and the little curtain was rolled up at a small corner, and the people inside were looking at him. His eyebrows and eyes were bright, and his veins were silent, and he understood.

She was clearly reluctant to part, so she didn't say goodbye, just watched him quietly.

He stood on the wide ground and looked at the flower bell. It wasn't until his father called out to himself that he slowly withdrew his gaze, his lips moved slightly, and then he got into the carriage with his father.

Hua Ling, who watched the Shen family's carriage leave, finally lowered the curtains, and she pondered for a while, and read the two unsolved words a few times in her heart.

What did he say in the end?

Do you really want her to guess when she returns to Mingzhou?

She was about to let it go, when she suddenly reacted and tried to read it in a low voice, and realized that it was indeed it.

She smiled suddenly, tears in her eyes. Those two words couldn't be simpler, simple and pleasing to her heart-

"Little Flower."
