Lake Mika.

Compared with the Yuxiang Building on the shore of Yuxiang Lake, the large red painting boat in Yuxiang Lake is not inferior at all, and the painting boat is also the property of Yuxiang Building. In the evening, all kinds of beautiful girls with fat swallows and thin will gather in the painting boat, or play the piano, or dance sleeves, or clear songs, and make the quiet Yuxiang Lake extraordinarily lively.

Every winter, when heavy snow falls, the lake freezes. The painting boat seemed to be destined to be a beautiful painting in the lake. It is a place that many people who come here to visit at a large price.

The boats are at a certain distance from the shore of the lake and are connected by wooden trestle bridges. At every few steps at each end of the bridge there is a large copper tripod, which is filled with butter, and at night, when the butter is lit, it illuminates the radius of a mile as if it were day. The fire of the wooden trestle, the ice of the lake, and the snow in the sky make up a breathtaking beauty.

Tonight, there are no longer those beautiful girls who are good at singing and dancing, playing and singing, and there are no benefactors who are drunk with money and drunk dreams. There are only two handsome sons on the whole boat.

One in a blue robe, the other in a green coat.

It is Long Yizhen and Wu Nianting.

After the two of them left the gambling house, they came directly to Yuxiang Lake, and then used the silver won tonight to send the boss here and chartered the entire painting boat.

Which boss is not a person who sees money, and when he sees four thousand taels of silver, he immediately offers Long Yizhen and Wu Nianting as living bodhisattvas. All of them did what they asked.

Leaning on the railing, looking up to see the shore of the lake lit up in the distance. Looking at the beautiful scenery of ice, snow, and fire, Wu Nianting's heart was completely complete.

"Yizhen, how did you know that gambling house was smoking?"

Leaning on the railing of the boat, looking at the woman smiling like a flower, Long Yizhen's heart also soared. said: "In this world, there is no gambling house that does not smoke thousands of people. Otherwise, you want them to survive. ”

"You mean, it's normal for casinos to smoke money?"

"This is also the reason why gamblers lose nine out of ten bets."

"And those gamblers are still willing to be deceived?"

"Because all gamblers have a mentality—I must not be the one who loses in nine, I must be the only one in ten who wins."

"There's no such thing as pie in the sky. They were naïve. ”

"Therefore, those gamblers who enter the casino, no matter how much they lose, even if they lose and sell themselves, do not deserve sympathy, but they are willing to fight. In their eyes, silver represents a qiē. So, it's normal for them not to stand up for us, not to speak for us. Besides, I'm not doing this tonight to stand up for them or to speak. Got it? ”

After finishing speaking, Long Yizhen stretched out his hand and flicked it on Wu Nianting's forehead. And said: "Don't be upset about those people, it's not worth it." ”

Wu Nianting smiled, stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, looking at Long Yizhen very dissatisfied. Suddenly, I felt that Long Yizhen was a little different, and after thinking about it again, yes, when I was fighting in the gambling house, Long Yizhen was accidentally punched twice in the face by the thugs, and Long Yizhen, who had a blue nose and swollen face, was of course different from usual.

She is really used to getting acquainted with Long Yi, even if Long Yizhen suddenly becomes a pig's head, she will not feel that there is anything wrong with Long Yizhen. But the others are different, no wonder the owner of the Yuxiang Building was startled when he saw Long Yizhen.

Looking at Long Yizhen's dark face, Wu Nianting reached out and touched it, and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

Long Yizhen shook his head.

"If I had helped you with the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle beforehand, you wouldn't have to suffer these two punches."

"Since I brought you there, I have to bring you out safely. How can there be a reason to take you to have fun, but put you in danger, and then rely on you to get out. ”

Long Yi really grew up in the pile of gentlemen, and naturally had the ethics of the manly husband of the gentlemen. Wu Nianting understood, didn't say more, took out a medicine bottle directly from his waist bag, took a piece of gauze from the table, poured some gauze on the medicine in the medicine bottle, and motioned Long Yizhen to squat.

Knowing what she was going to do, Long Yizhen bent down and put his head in front of her hand.

So, Wu Nianting gently rubbed the gauze stained with the potion on Long Yizhen's face.

Gently and softly, Long Yi's heart was really melting, and he looked at the little girl in front of him with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Let her do anything wrong in his face.

When she was a child, although she was fat, she was as cute as a doll coming out of a New Year's painting. Now, she has grown up, the bigger and more beautiful, the more beautiful and thrilling. This kind of beauty, in his eyes, is rare among women in this world.

Over the years, there have been many people who have come to propose marriage. His father urged him to get married, but he knew that he had something on his mind. But this embarrassing thing cannot be made public.

Although he is a royal family, he is a concubine.

Although she was born among the people, she is a princess.

Don't talk about the difference in status, just talk about his body. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't fight with this little girl and didn't know each other, and turned enemies into friends, if it weren't for Shangguan Lan's help from Shangguan Lan, he might have seen the king of Hades a long time ago.

In order not to worry the little girl in front of him, both he and Shangguan Lan concealed the fact that his body was suffering all the time.

In front of Xiao Nizi, he always looks relaxed. But in fact, as Shangguan Lan's medicine became more and more violent, he sometimes felt that he couldn't hold on.

Shangguan Lan said that his illness took ten years to be treated, and he didn't feel pain in the first five years, he felt that it was easy to drink the medicine, and he felt that it should be easy to survive. But since five years have passed, after swallowing the medicine in my stomach, the bone pain is unbearable, and I feel uncomfortable walking on the tip of a knife every day.

According to Shangguan Lan's words, the first five years can only treat the symptoms, and the next five years will cure the root cause. Whether he can survive it depends on him in the next five years

, it depends on his perseverance and pain resistance in the next five years.

Ten years, seven years have passed. Three years to go. He didn't know if he could really make it through.

Even if it survives, will this body that has been treated for ten years of pain and drank medicine for ten years be able to grow old with his beloved?

Now, if he has anything to give up in this world, it is just one of her in front of him.

If there is anything else in this world that allows him to bear the pain that hurts into his heart every day, it is only one of her in front of him.

He lives for her. is also struggling on the verge of life and death for her.

For her, he was willing to take this pain.

Because, she is the most beautiful encounter in his life, an unexpected and beautiful encounter.

Whenever he couldn't hold on, he thought, he must persevere, he must look at her again......

In the middle of his thoughts, Long Yi's eyes were really wet, and he looked at the woman in front of him like a cloud.

"Yizhen, does it hurt?" Wu Nianting hurriedly took his hand away, tiptoed, and gently blew on the injured part of his face. He added: "This medicine will hurt a little when it is applied to the face and irritates the eyes." But the effect is very good, and after a while the pain will be gone. You bear with it. ”

It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all, what does this pain compare to the pain of the bones in my body being cut forever? Slandering in his heart, Long Yizhen grinned and said: "Guan Gong can scrape the bones and heal the wounds without taking anesthetic, what is the pain of the eyes being stimulated?" ”

"If it doesn't work, just close your eyes, maybe it will be stronger."

I don't close my eyes because I want to see you again, to try to see you more. His eyes were cloudy, and Long Yi really couldn't see the person in front of him clearly. I only heard Wu Nianting say again: "It's done, don't hold on hard, if you want to cry, you will cry, anyway, I am the only one who sees it, and I won't spread it." ”

He really won't cry because of the pain. Thinking of this, Long Yizhen slapped Wu Nianting's head violently, and said angrily: "When did you see me crying." Tears are the act of. ”

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong. You are a manly man, a big husband with tears and no flicks. Wu Nianting was not annoyed, he dipped some potion in gauze again while speaking, and gently wiped the wounds on Long Yizhen's face, and asked, "You have been drinking medicine for seven years, your body should be getting better and better, right?" Did you go out to fight again while I wasn't in Beijing? ”

Long Yizhen raised his hand and said: "I swear, I didn't fight in a group in Beijing, and I didn't walk dogs, touch birds and fight crickets, and I was either in Yuhualou or at home every day." ”

Long Yizhen's 'home' refers to his own home, not Xining Palace.

Since Yuhualou has been making money every day, Long Yizhen has bought nearly 1,000 acres of wasteland in the far city of Dongao City. There were also a few hills in the wasteland, which were shaded by the sun and were extremely cool in the summer. But there are too many stones in the wasteland to be cultivated, not to mention that it is far from the city, so it has always been a bone that is difficult to sell. After Long Yizhen bought it with a large amount of money, he surrounded the nearly 1,000 acres of land with a high wall, and built four villas along the hills one after another, each covering an area of nearly 100 acres.

These four villas are Long Yizhen, Yin Wuxie, Chen Yifei, and Jiang Lai.

Since he had his own villa, Long Yizhen escaped from the cage of Xining Wangfu and lived in a mansion that really belonged to him, compared to the thatched hut in his original words 'If one day I have a mansion, even if it is just a small thatched hut, as long as it is mine, I am satisfied', the villa is quite magnificent and bright.

At the same time, in order to facilitate the trip to Yuhualou, Long Yizhen and others allocated special funds to build a road from Yuhualou to their villa. It can be said that over the years, after their development, and because of this road, commerce and agriculture along this road have also been driven. This far city is no longer a far town, but a veritable new town.

According to the theory, unmarried princes are not allowed to move out of the palace, but Long Yizhen is a gentleman when he is a child, and his father Wang Long Yinfeng indulges him more, because when he is clamoring to move out, Long Yinfeng does not stop much, but he thinks that he is urging the marriage tightly, forcing his son to flee blindly.

As soon as he heard that Long Yizhen was staying at home, Wu Nianting remembered something and said, "Last time you wrote to say that Yifei's father passed away, and their family was fighting for property, what happened to the situation?" ”

The 'Yifei' in Wu Nianting's mouth refers to Chen Yifei, one of the sons of the gentlemen who was in the same party with Long Yizhen at the beginning. Yuhualou is now a big tent. This Chen Yifei can't help but be able to calculate accounts with his left and right hands at the same time, and he is also a natural negotiator, thinking that at the beginning, it was his credit that Yuhualou could buy it at a low price. At the same time, he is also one of the owners of Yuhualou.

In addition to the largest proprietor Wu Nianting in Yuhualou, there are five people in the small proprietorship, namely Long Yizhen, Li Xiaozhuo, Jiang Lai, Chen Yifei, and Yin Wuxie.

Of course, those who don't know the inside story think that there are only two owners of Yuhualou, Wu Nianting and Long Yizhen, and at the same time, they also think that Yin Wuxie, Chen Yifei, Li Xiaozhuo, Jiang Lai and others are just working for Wu Nianting and Long Yizhen.

Hearing that Wu Nianting inquired about Chen Yifei's situation, Long Yizhen said: "It's okay, everything is finally settled." ”

As he spoke, Wu Nianting painted the wounds on Long Yizhen's face almost as well, no longer like the previous dark blue, and the swelling had disappeared a lot, only a little blue was faintly visible.

She put the bottle back in her fanny pack and said, "Tell me what's going on." ”

"Say as you drink tea."

So the two sat down, and Long Yizhen made Chen Yifei's family affairs clear.

It turned out that Chen Yifei's birth belonged to the five surnames of the Hanmen.

The five surnames of the Hanmen have risen after the seven nobles of the family, and their strength is becoming more and more not to be underestimated, so the people in the five surnames naturally have people who are arrogant and arrogant.

In fact, the people in the five surnames are the same as the people in the seven nobles, not all families are very rich, and some are so poor that they can't open the pot.

Chen Yifei's father

Chen Yifei's father is okay, he is a small four-grade official, and he seems to have saved a lot of family resources.

But Chen Yifei's father has many wives and concubines. There are naturally many children and concubines. After Chen Yifei's father died, not to mention that none of those concubines could be driven out of the mansion, then Chen's mother-in-law even drove and sold some of the concubines who had been angry with her at the beginning.

Chen Yifei's mother was among the people who were sold.

At the time of the incident, Long Yizhen, who had learned the news earlier, was entrusted by Chen Yifei and arranged for someone to buy Chen Yifei's mother back, and then return it to Chen Yifei. Chen Yifei hurriedly took his mother's slave status to the government to cut off the status of the slave.

When Chen Yifei's mother was surrounded by Chen Yifei and a group of people into his house, the luxurious mountain villa, a group of slaves, and a grandson......

Chen Yifei's mother turned from a shock to a surprise for a while. It turned out that she had not only become a hostess, but also a veritable grandmother. I thought that my son was a life of working for others, but I didn't want my son to have this creation, and he was actually one of the owners of Yuhualou.

Since then, Chen Yifei's mother has settled down in Chen Yifei's home.

After listening to Long Yizhen's narration, Wu Nianting took a breath and said, "This time, I will be completely relieved." I'm also worried that Yifei has no intention of Yuhualou because of family affairs. ”

"It was clear that his father had saved a lot of money, but I asked for some news through other doors. Hmph, what kind of family, it's long been empty. Otherwise, that Chen Mei clan would not have been reduced to the point of selling all the concubines to pay off the debts of that old man Chen. ”

Chen Yifei's mother's maiden name is 'Mei', and she was born in the Mei family among the five surnames of the Hanmen.

It turned out that although Master Chen was beautiful on the surface, he was already empty inside. After death, many debtors came to the door. His wife, Chen Mei, was annoyed in her heart. Thinking that those debts were owed to support the concubines who were angry with her on weekdays, she said, 'The wool comes out of the sheep', how to spend it and how to pay it off. Clearly said that he couldn't stand the anger of those concubines, and now it's time to take revenge, but in fact, he sold those concubines and lost money.

If you want money to eat or to save face, Chen Mei's choice is quite simple, she would rather be called a 'jealous woman' than starve to death.

Hearing the truth, Wu Nianting sighed: "Master Chen is dying to save face, and it is this Chen Mei who suffers alive." Speaking of which, this Chen Mei is also a pitiful person. Man, what do you want so many concubines for? ”

Speaking of this, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "Yizhen, your eldest brother, second brother and their babies are crawling all over the ground, why are you still not married." I can tell you, if you want to get married, you are not allowed to have concubines. ”

"Do I have a concubine or not, what does it matter to you?"

"I'm worried that my Yuhualou's money is not good. lest you hollow out my Yuhua Building behind my back in order to support your concubines. ”

"Money junkies."

With a cold snort, Wu Nianting said: "If I am a fan of wealth, I will go to Yuhualou to make tea and enjoy the snow today, how can I still use the reason to spend all this silver in this Yuxiang Building." I don't make any money by spending money here, not to mention that I'm still the one who makes the tea. ”

"Cheng Chengcheng, when I pay dividends this year, I will give you these taels of silver."

Wu Nianting's fake painting of the sword eyebrows rose, quite heroic, and said, "This is about the same." ”

Funnily threw a dried flower in his hand on her forehead, hitting her forehead, Long Yizhen smiled again: "Wealth fan." ”

"Tell me about Wuxie, Jiang Lai, and Xiao Zhuo again."

In Long Yizhen's narration, Wu Nianting knew that Yin Wuxian originally planned to come to Hezhou with Long Yizhen to see her this time, but he was threatened by the people of the Yin family to go back to Haozhou on a blind date, saying that if he didn't get married and didn't contribute to the Yin family, the old man Yin would go to jump off the building. Yin Wuxian was forced to be helpless, and had to succumb to the servants of the Yin family and returned to Haozhou. It is not so much that he was captured and taken back, but that he was threatened to go back. As for Li Xiaozhuo, since marrying Jiang Lai's sister-in-law Jiang Xiaomei last year, he got a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses last month.

"Ah", as if he had added bricks and tiles to his home, Wu Nianting jumped up happily and said, "Yes, it's good, it's good." When I go back to Beijing this time, I have to seal a big red envelope for the little guys. ”

Long Yi looked at Wu Nianting with a smile, knowing that Xiao Nizi's happiness was from the bottom of her heart, and she knew that she had never been stingy with their shots, for example, last year, Chen Yifei was happy with his son, and Wu Nianting once sealed a big red envelope of five thousand taels to congratulate. So he smiled and said: "Xiao Zhuo's kid can be regarded as having a conscience, and he has built a good thing." It's not in vain that you like his little cubs so much. ”

"Huh, build yì?"

"Do you remember that there are large open spaces left on the left and right of my villa?"

Wu Nianting nodded hurriedly, only to hear Long Yizhen say again: "Xiao Zhuo Jian, I have built two new villas in those two vacant lands, covering an area of 100 acres, and one of them is reserved for you." ”

Wu Nianting pointed to his nose and asked in surprise, "Mine?" ”

"It's exactly the same pattern as me, innocent, Yifei, and Jiang Lai's villa. You're sure to like it. ”

When she returned to Beijing a few days ago, she had been to Long Yizhen's villa to see it, and she liked the landscape there very much, and she also liked the courtyard pattern designed by Long Yizhen. At that time, she also joked that there was no peach blossom paradise there.

I don't want to have a mountain villa, of course she likes it. Wu Nianting said excitedly: "Yi Zhen, is this the place where there are hundreds of wild peach trees?" ”

I knew that she liked it there, and I knew it with the shock and joy of seeing her in the forest for the first time. Long Yizhen smiled and nodded, "Exactly, that's exactly the place." I'll enclose all those hundreds of wild peach trees for you in your lodge. ”

Not only do I have a mountain villa, but I also have my own peach blossom source. Wu Nianting was a little frowning, and said, "Yizhen, I will be neighbors with you from now on." ”

If you look at it from the outside, because of the tall courtyard wall, you still think that the nearly 1,000 acres of land is owned by a family. But if it's true

Yes. But if you really walk in, you will know that in fact, the villas inside are self-contained, and there are new walls and courtyards to surround the courtyard. It's just that all the roads in the villas are well built and can be connected.

"yes, neighbors who will never be separated." With his body, he may not be able to take care of her, but he can love her as much as possible every day in his lifetime, and he can be her neighbor, and he will be enough in this life.

"Since there are two villas this time, one is mine, then the other villa must be Xiao Zhuo's."

Long Yizhen nodded.

Wu Nianting said again: "I remember that Xiao Zhuo is most afraid of loneliness and likes to be lively, and always likes to find all kinds of reasons to be around Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang, why did he want to open it this time, and he is willing to start a new stove?" ”

Li Xiaozhuo is an orphan, and since he entered Yuhualou, he has been living with Jiang's parents, eating and closing, and because of this, he has been in love with Jiang Xiaomei for a long time. But as Jiang Xiaomei's belly gets bigger and bigger, if she lives in her mother's house again, it seems that Li Xiaozhuo is a son-in-law. So, the Jiang family's parents asked Li Xiaozhuo to move out and set up another door.

Knowing that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were planning for him, Li Xiaozhuo also agreed and began to build his own villa. At the same time, he thought that several of their small owners had villas, and there was no reason why Wu Nianting, the big owner, would not build a villa, so he asked his villa and Wu Nianting's villa to be built together.

Regarding Li Xiaozhuo's construction, Long Yizhen agreed on the spot. Now that the two villas have been completed, Li Xiaozhuo has also moved. Only the villa left for Wu Nian Pavilion is still empty.

After listening to Long Yizhen's explanation, Wu Nianting sighed again: "In this way, Xiao Zhuo has a heart for you, and you still remember me, the big boss, and you know to remind you to build a villa for me." ”

Long Yi was really funny and threw a dried flower on Wu Nianting's head, and said, "Don't wronged us, we all remember you, the big boss." Otherwise, how can the best treasure land of feng shui be left empty? If I had known that you were so unconscionable, I should have taken possession of that treasure land beforehand. Ah, by the way, I'll move when I go back, and move to the villa I left for you, and the villa where I lived will be left to you. ”

Knowing that what Long Yizhen said was a lie, Wu Nianting still looked at him with a sneer, and said: "Ah, Yizhen is the best, he is a big man who doesn't remember villains, why care about the words of my little woman." ”

Long Yi was really angry and funny and stretched out his hand, crossed the tea case, flicked her forehead, and said, "Look at your flattery." ”

Wu Nianting wasn't annoyed, he just smiled and rubbed his forehead. Said: "Although there are six mountain villas in our land now, there are still a lot of vacant land left, what are your plans?" Do you still build a mountain resort? ”

"Although I can still build two mountain villas, I think I don't need to build any more, they are all empty, and I can use the vacant land to grow vegetables to pass the time when I am in a hurry. All that's left are a few hills and a large wild lake, and as for those hills, you can occasionally hunt. When we finish killing the prey, we will buy some chickens, ducks, cows and sheep and so on and put them in the mountains. And that big lake, we can also make use of it, and buy some fish fry to throw into it, so that we don't eat all the fish in it. ”

In this way, it is completely self-sufficient. The six of them seem to be in six completely isolated mountain villas, but in fact they are in a large courtyard, with a common mountain, vegetable patch, and wild lake, which is more like a family than a family.

Very good!

"By the way, last time, he wanted me to give up a piece of land to him, and he said that he also wanted to be our neighbor, but I didn't agree."

The 'Nianzhi' in Long Yizhen's mouth is Lin Nianzhi.

"Don't, don't promise him. The Lin family's family rules are there, and my uncles are not separated, but his grandson is divided into which family. If I agree to him, my grandfather will definitely come to me in the future. ”

"That's why I didn't promise him. At first, he complained that I was not a buddy, but fortunately, your Four Seasons Restaurant was about to open, and I came up with my idea for him in many ways, so he let me go. ”

At four o'clock, the flower season restaurant is next door to Yuhua Building. Although almost all the restaurants around Xiangguo Temple are extinct, the four seasons of the restaurant must be different from other restaurants, because it is based on flower and color cuisine, pay attention to all vegetarian Yan, and the vegetarian food of Xiangguo Temple can be said to complement each other. It hasn't opened yet, and if it does, business will be booming. This little girl has a lot of ways to make money.

Originally, Long Yi really had the idea of partnering with Wu Nianting to open the Four Seasons Flower Season Restaurant, but over the years, all the money they earned was invested in buying land, building a villa and opening a branch in Hezhou, and there was really not much silver in their hands. In addition, Long Yi really felt that Lin Nianzhi was much more spiritual than him on the way to eating, and he really didn't need to fight, break through, or fight in areas that he was not good at, so he gave up his plan to open a restaurant.

There is Yuhualou, which is enough. Besides, he still has to leave a lot of time to travel back and forth to Hezhou, see her, and accompany her.

Long Yizhen was in a trance, and then heard Wu Nianting ask: "Xiao Zhuo is a father, what about Jiang Lai?" ”

"I've seen a few, but they're all unsatisfactory. However, before I left for Hezhou, his mother fell in love with him again, and I don't know if it was decided this time. ”

"I hope it's settled. In any case, it is always good to have a daughter-in-law for the New Year. Speaking of this, Wu Nianting's big eyes blinked suddenly, and he looked at Long Yizhen playfully and said: "Yizhen, Yifei and Xiao Zhuo are both fathers, Jiang Lai and Wuzhuo's matter is almost decided, what is going on with you, don't be too high-minded." ”

There is someone in his heart, who can enter his heart? Looking at the woman smiling ill-intentionedly in front of him, Long Yi really laughed at himself and said: "It's better for me to be single with this broken body, so as not to drag down the widow." ”

Hearing this, the teapot in Wu Nianting's hand, who was making tea, shook, and the water in the cup splashed suddenly, and the hot tea splashed on Wu Nianting's hand and she didn't know it, but she just looked at Yi Zhen fixedly and asked, "Yi Zhen, what do you mean?" What's wrong with your body? No signs of improvement? Or has it worsened again? ”

Without answering her question, Long Yizhen hurriedly got up, and carefully used the cold water on the side to flush her little hands that were burned red, and said: "Brewing tea can also be rough, and I don't know if it's burned." Be careful in the future. ”

Holding Long Yizhen's hand, Wu Nianting said, "Yizhen, are you okay?" ”

Knowing that Xiao Nizi was worried about him, her heart was sour and sweet, Long Yizhen flicked her forehead and said, "What can it be?" ”

"Then why do you say that the woman who marries you should be widowed?"

"Just say it casually. You can take the joke seriously. ”

"Bah, crow's mouth. In the future, I won't tell this kind of joke. ”

"Okay, I promise you, I won't say it. Why, still don't believe me? Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe in your master's medical skills. The dead can be revived in his hands, let alone a living person like me? Since your master has taken my hot potato, he will naturally not smash his golden signboard. With that, he flicked her forehead again.

Hearing that Long Yizhen mentioned her master, the depression that had been no longer there for a long time returned, Wu Nianting snorted coldly and said, "Don't mention him." ”
