Tang Bohu had nothing to give to Wang Laohu, only his calligraphy and paintings, and when he painted for Wang Laohu, Wang Laohu had a rare opportunity to spend a while with Qiu Xiang.

"Sister Qiuxiang, your relationship with Brother Tang was rumored to be a good story in later generations, I didn't expect that in reality, you would live so hard." Wang Laohu couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Lord Wang, it's nothing to live a hard life, no matter how hard it is, it's my own choice."

"You don't need to call me the prince in the future, your husband is a generation of great scholars, he is high, he will have many works that will be sung by future generations, and you will be the same, Sister Qiuxiang, your marriage with Tang Gongzi will be a beautiful conversation on the streets and alleys of everyone."

Qiu Xiang didn't say anything, Wang Laohu looked at Tang Bohu's family background, took out a bag of money bags from his arms, and said, "These are a little bit of my heart, you accept it." ”

Qiu Xiang said, "No, no, I can't take your things." ”

"It doesn't mean anything else, I just hope you don't work so hard in the future. Also, when it really comes to the time when you can't open the pot, you can go to your old club, and Hua Taishi won't ignore it. Wang Laohu knew that after this fraud case, Tang Bohu would have a more difficult time, and he had to go far away, so he couldn't help much, so he was a little entrusted.

"I didn't expect the prince to ......" Qiu Xiang didn't finish speaking, Wang Laohu stopped her and said, "You call me Wang Ye, it seems to be a separate life, I want to be the eternal Wang Hu in your heart." ”

Qiu Xiang's eyes were sour, I don't know why she feels this way, she just feels sour in her eyes, and she wants to cry in her heart.

At this time, Tang Bohu finished painting a picture, entered the room, and said, "Lord Wang, I have already painted the picture you asked me to draw." ”

"Okay, let's go, let's take a look." Before Wang Laohu went out, he glanced at Qiu Xiang again.

Wang Laohu asked for a painting from Tang Bohu, and Tang Bohu thought that the painting was not valuable, but Wang Laohu knew that as long as it was Tang Bohu's genuine work, it would definitely be valuable in future generations, not to mention that this painting must be his genuine work.

After dinner, it was not early. Wang Laohu is about to say goodbye, there is no banquet in the world, although Wang Laohu still thinks of Qiu Xiang in his heart, but he knows that Qiu Xiang does not belong to him, just like the Qiu Xiang he contacted in Washington before, he knows the same, Qiu Xiang should wait for Tang Bohu, she is Tang Bohu's.

"Brother Tang, say goodbye here, when we will meet, uncertain. If Brother Tang and Mrs. Tang have the opportunity to come to Guichuan, I will be hospitable, and if they want to stay in Guichuan, I will welcome them. ”

"A pipa is like tears, and it is the time of farewell in the spring breeze. Lord, I will not forget your affection for me. Tang Bohu said.

Wang Laohu glanced at Tang Bohu, then at Qiu Xiang, and said, "I don't have such a good literary talent as Brother Tang, and I don't have any poems to give you, I just hope that the two of you can live in peace, and there will be a period in the future!" When he said this, Wang Laohu was also impatient, he was finally about to leave the Tang Mansion and never see Qiu Xiang again.

"The book is not exhaustive, the words are not exhaustive, and the meaning is not sufficient." Wang Laohu walked and said a few words on his lips.

Wang Laohu and his entourage stayed in Suzhou for only one day, and then returned to Hangzhou.

Hangzhou City.

"The smell of spring is getting stronger and stronger." Back in the house, Feng Liuer first sighed, "I don't think the south is good. ”

"I also think it's better in the south, the wind in the north is so strong, and no matter how good the skin is, it will be dried by the wind." Cheng Chengdao.

"The people raised in each place are different, just like us in the south, the girls' skin is like the water in the south of the Yangtze River. When we get to Guichuan, it will be a different scene. ”

"Has the prince been to Guichuan?" They both asked at the same time.

In fact, before Wang Laohu came here, he was from Guizhou, but now he is going back. "Guichuan is mountainous, and there are various ethnic minorities, and the clothes we wear are also different, and the customs are even different."

"Tell us about the differences?" Feng Liuer said.

"Guizhou is a sea of songs and dances, and the national songs and dances are gorgeous and colorful. The Miao people have high-pitched and passionate and unrestrained 'flying songs', there are low-pitched euphemisms, beautiful lyrical 'You Fang songs' and simple and solemn 'ancient songs', 'wine songs' in southern Qiannan and Buyi tribes, the costumes of these two ethnic groups are also particularly beautiful, and the girls over there will wear silver jewelry, and there are activities such as catching up with the market during major festivals. ”

"What the prince said is so good, I really want to go over earlier." Feng Liuer said.

"You want to go there earlier, and when you really get to that place, maybe you will not be able to adapt to it, that place is not as developed as Hangzhou, and it may take a few years to suffer."

"The prince has removed the cosmetics cabinet in the capital, will Bian Yifang in Hangzhou continue to be retained?" When it comes to the economy, Bian Chengcheng naturally talked about Bian Yifang, the cosmetics in the capital, Wang Laohu has let go, can Bian Yifang in Hangzhou continue?

"Bian Yifang's clothing has formed a certain industry, and it also has a certain influence in Daming, if it is no longer opened, this cake is less, it is also a pity. Besides, this Bian Yifang is not only mine, but also has the hard work of Princess Shu in it. ”

"When we arrived in Guichuan, so far away from Hangzhou, can we still manage it?" Bian Chengcheng said worriedly.

"Hangzhou will develop into a metropolis in the future, this point cannot be lost, but this is only a wholesale point, we will move the headquarters of Bian Yifang to Guichuan, and then send clothes to Hangzhou from there."

Bian Chengcheng nodded, Bian Yifang has been passed down from the ancestors, and has developed to the present, it has a certain scale and influence, and production and operation are integrated, and the products have new supplements and new changes.

"We still have to think about who will come to this shop in Hangzhou

Management, Princess Shu has to think of the right person. ”

"When we were in the capital, this Bian Yifang was taken care of by Sister Qingqing, and when the time comes, we will go over together, and we should find someone to guard this Bian Yifang." Bian Cheng Cheng said.

"Princess Shu, when you were choosing a clerk, I thought it was very good."

"I remember that the prince was not in Hangzhou City at that time, how do you know that the clerk I chose is good."

"I didn't go to Bian Yifang many times, but after going there a few times, there was a clerk who impressed me." Wang Laohu recalled the scene when he first entered Bian Yifang, "A female clerk saw that Wang Laohu was looking at clothes, and she was accompanied by her, knowing that it was a big family, she hurriedly stepped forward and greeted, 'Son, who are you showing clothes?' ’

Wang Laohu looked at the female clerk, who was pure and lovely, revealing a mouthful of white teeth when she spoke, this Cheng Cheng had a good eye for picking people, "I just came from out of town and want to buy a spring dress for my lady, you pick one for me." ’

'Childe, didn't your lady come along?' ’

I wanted to surprise her, and when she came, there was no surprise. ’

'Childe, you are so good to your wife, what about your lady's body and height?' ’

'Isn't your shopkeeper there?' ’

She didn't come today. ’

'Didn't come? I've heard that your shopkeeper is very beautiful, and I'm here today to see her. ’

The clerk may not be very comfortable listening, but he didn't have a seizure, and it seems that the clerk is well trained. 'Childe, you really like to laugh, how can our shopkeeper compare with your wife? ’

Wang Laohu continued to look at the clothes in the store until he saw that the clerk was busy with the girl's business, and the female clerk came over and said, "I'm sorry, Childe, I've kept you waiting." ’

'Seeing that you are indeed quite busy and have never rested, how can I blame you?' ’

'Childe, then I'll help your wife pick one?' ’

I don't want to pick today, though. Wang Laohu suddenly changed his words.

The female clerk was also caught off guard by Wang Laohu's actions, but she said, 'It's okay, Childe, you take your time, and when it's good, you can tell me.' ’”

"The prince is always observing everywhere." Bian Cheng Cheng said.

"It's Princess Shu's good selection eye." Wang Laohu said, "However, here, I think I must have my own people." My father-in-law is very old, and he looks at me reassuringly, but I don't think that's enough. ”

"Listen to the prince, you have already thought of this candidate."

Wang Laohu smiled but didn't break it, but opened the topic and said, "I went to Guichuan, there are many things that I can't take with me, and I may not be able to continue to implement them." ”

"What did the prince think?" Bian Chengcheng asked.

"I'm thinking about those poor children in my Wang Family Academy." Wang Laohu said.

"You're thinking about Li Jing." Bian Chengcheng said, "Our whole family moved to Qiannan, and Li Jing's family was in difficulty, and it was indeed difficult to continue going to school. ”

While they were talking, Mu Huaying also came to the hall. Bian Chengcheng said, "Sister Hua Ying, come, sit." "For this daughter-in-law who has not yet passed the door, Bian Chengcheng always faces it with a smile."

Mu Huaying herself was very cold, she was originally disgusted with everything about Wang Laohu, and it can be said that she was particularly dissatisfied, but today she came in and said, "Two princesses, there are some things I want to say to the prince alone." ”

Hearing Mu Huaying say this, the two princesses looked at each other, and Feng Liu'er smiled and said, "Sister, just say what you have to say, we will laugh at you." ”

Mu Huaying said, "I want to talk to the prince alone about this matter." ”

Seeing Mu Huaying's insistence, Wang Laohu knew that she had something to say to herself, so he stood up and said, "Two princesses, I will go to the study with Miss Mu, don't come and eavesdrop." ”

It was a joke, and of course the two women wouldn't take it to heart. Mu Huaying saluted Bian Chengcheng and Feng Liu'er, and followed Wang Laohu to the study.

Den.

Mu Huaying is a generous person, but this time she seems to be so cautious, which is a little inconsistent with her usual behavior. Wang Laohu expected that something was wrong with her.

"When I came out of Suzhou City, I felt that Miss Mu had something in her heart, and when she arrived in Hangzhou City, is this matter still haunted in your heart?" Wang Laohu asked.

"You think you can see through anything." Mu Huaying said, "Lord, I'm ...... I have something to say to you. ”

"Haha, when you said I was a tiger before, you hadn't stuttered like this, but now you're a little stammering. Miss Mu, don't you really like me? ”

Mu Huaying said: "I thank the prince for his kindness. "Mu Huaying was so polite to Wang Laohu, but she had never done so, today is indeed a different day." If it weren't for the prince, I would still be struggling on the way, and maybe in my hands, there would be a lot of unjust souls. ”

Wang Laohu nodded, this is a fact, Mu Huaying is known as the Witch of Change, and she has killed a lot of people who should not be killed, in the rivers and lakes, her influence is not good, and now, he abandons the dark and turns to the light, which is the result of Wang Laohu's forbearance and influence. "Your past is gone, you don't need to look back, you have to face your own tomorrow."

"Lord Wang, are you willing to marry me?" Mu Huaying asked this question, a question that ordinary women would find difficult to say.

"I wanted to keep you in the capital, but you didn't agree, so I had to take you back and bring you to Guichuan together." Wang Laohu said.

"I'm not kidding you." Mu Huaying said, "I know I'm not worthy of you, and it doesn't matter if the prince doesn't marry me." ”

"There is no distinction between high and low, whether I marry you or not is not because of your identity, but because of whether you have feelings."

"Then does the prince have any feelings for me?"

"Miss Mu, at this time, there are only you and me now, I will be honest with you, I admit that I like you, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't let you go again and again. People have feelings, I still remember when I was in Suzhou Washington, I was a cook, you were my assistant, every night, I slept with you, although there was no skin kiss, but I have long been interested in you. ”

"There are not many righteous gentlemen like Wang Ye." Mu Huaying said, "You know that I am no longer a yellow flower girl, and you are still willing to marry me?" ”

Wang Laohu looked at her and said, "I said that two people are together, not because of their status or otherwise, but because of feelings, I am interested in you, and if you have affection for me, it is enough." Miss Mu, now that the words have been said to this point, you can make a statement, are you willing to marry me? ”

"That's what I'm going to talk to you about today." Mu Huaying said, "I already know the meaning of the prince from the mouth of the prince, I have no regrets in this life, originally I thought that I would spend this life in people's scolding, and I would not meet a person who really likes me, now, I am content, the prince is a righteous gentleman, I don't want to ruin the reputation of the prince because of me as a woman." ”

"Hahahaha, Miss Mu, whether it is my reputation or your reputation, only I know, I am the same as you, I have made mistakes before, only I am willing to change, I believe that history will give us a correct judgment." Wang Laohudao,

After dinner. Bian Chengcheng said that she wanted to say goodbye to her father and her friends, after all, her state of mind was the same as that of Wang Laohu, and after knowing that she was gone, it would be even more difficult to return to Hangzhou.

"Lord Wang, tonight, you and I went to see Su Su, this time I left, and I don't know when I will be able to meet her." Bian Cheng Cheng said.

"It should." Wang Laohu said, "This talented woman, I didn't know much about her before, I didn't expect that Princess Qin and her are good friends, and we will go to say goodbye to her tonight." ”

After leaving the house, Bian Chengcheng picked out some things on the street and asked Honghua to hold them. Soon arrived at the place where Xue Susu lived.

All the elegant residences of famous calligraphy and painting are not particularly good, Xue Susu, a girl's family, the house is not particularly clean, at this time, she seems to be sick. When Bian Chengcheng shouted outside the door, her response and the state after opening the door, Wang Laohu could see at a glance that she was sick.

"Susu, are you sick?" Bian Chengcheng asked.

"It's okay, it's just a cold." Xue Susu said.

Wang Laohu and Bian Chengcheng sat down. Bian Chengcheng said: "Have you seen Langzhong?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a little problem, and it will be fine after lying down for a few days." Xue Susu said.

"Miss Susu, how can this work?" Wang Laohu said, "I want people to come and see it immediately." Wang Biao, you go back to the house immediately and let Wang Chen come here. ”

"No need." Xue Susu said.

Wang Biao still obeyed Wang Laohu's words and went out to return home.

"How can this work? Susu, I'm going to Guichuan with the prince soon, there won't be much time to see you in the future, everything depends on yourself, you should find a man. Bian Cheng Cheng said.

Xue Susu's age is not too young in Daming, and there should indeed be a man.

"I also want to find a man, but where do you ask me to find it for no reason?" Xue Susu said.

"I've got this on me." Bian Chengcheng said, "Before I went to Guichuan, I wanted to give my friend's family affairs. Lord, what do you think? ”

"Of course. Miss Susu is a talented girl, if you want to find a person who has a common language with her, Ming'er, I will ask Wang Biao to ask the matchmaker, Hangzhou, to find someone who can write and draw, it should not be difficult. Wang Laohu said.

Bian Chengcheng said, "Su Su is also bitter enough, you don't see it small, and her ability to tidy up by herself is not strong, I think the prince will never find her to find a better family." Cheng Cheng thinks that this Ming literati, just like Tang Bohu, will only pretend to be high, his family background is not true, and he will suffer.

"Cheng Cheng, don't worry about me, I'm having a good time. I can also sell calligraphy and paintings, and eating is not a problem. Xue Susu said.

"If I'm still in Hangzhou, I can still take care of it, I'm gone, only you are left, I don't worry, I will help you find this family."

"Miss Susu, that's it. Do you remember the tiger you painted for me last time, I don't know that you don't draw tigers on weekdays, but you gave me a big face, and you painted tigers on the spot, just for your affection, we will also solve your matter. ”

Bian Chengcheng smiled and said, "Yes." ”

"Ahem, ahem." Xue Susu seems to have a bad cough, and listening to the sound, it seems that there is still phlegm.

"In the spring, the climate changes rapidly, and it is common for people to catch colds." Wang Laohu said, "We went to Guichuan this time, but there are some things that we can't take away, so I want to ask Miss Susu to take care of them on our behalf." ”

Xue Susu said: "I don't know what the prince wants me to take care of?" ”

"The huge mansion in Hangzhou can't be moved, if it doesn't live in, it will already be full of dust, and the house that no one lives in will collapse in a few years."

"What does the prince mean to let me see the mansion?"

"Su Su, there are you watching in the house, we can rest assured, in addition, there will be some girls here, and they will be allowed to do housekeeping." Before Bian Chengcheng's words were finished, Wang Laohu continued, "The most important thing is that we want to invite Miss Su Su to take care of Bian Yifang together." We can't go over there, we still have to be looked after here. ”

"Lord Wang, but I don't know anything about business." Xue Susu said.

In tonight's conversation, Wang Laohu never talked about it with Bian Chengcheng, but she knew Wang Laohu's temper, he had already thought about it in his heart, and he should have made a decision a long time ago, so he also came to sing with a wife, "With my father here, what are you afraid of." ”
