The Fang Mansion is very lively, and the inner hall and courtyard are set up with banquets and exquisite pastries. Although the furnishings in the house are not exquisite, they are by no means the vulgarity of ordinary martial artists.

"Big brother, this general seems to have a bit of a collector's habit, but the things in the mansion are thrifty and plain." Gu Changsheng took the pastry and tasted it carefully, he didn't know how many pieces he had eaten, and he had lived in a small village with his father since he was a child. He has always been taught that "in life, you can't covet your appetite, you need to work your muscles and bones, and starve your body and skin, so that you can resist the responsibility of the world and benefit the people." ”

And then the days are thrilling, never thought that a small osmanthus cake can be made so delicious, the flour is fine but not powdery, melts in the mouth, there is no jerky and unpalatable feeling at all, and then this osmanthus is sweet but not greasy, fresh taste, eat, and the mouth has a lingering fragrance. made Gu Changsheng want to stop.

Zhao Tuo also watched Gu Changsheng eat a lot of pieces, although the two of them only had breakfast and didn't eat again until the afternoon, but this Gu Changsheng was like a hungry ghost reincarnated, and he didn't stop. I thought in my heart that when I returned to the capital, I would take him to taste all the world's food.

"Okay, okay, don't eat any more, you'll choke if you eat again."

"Big brother, it's okay, I've never eaten such delicious pastries, but I want to eat more!"

Zhao Tuo shook his head, just about to say something, but when he saw Gu Changsheng's green face, he suddenly realized that he was still an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, and he thought of his comrades in the army for a while, but he also joined the army at such an age, and he couldn't help but feel a little deeper about that thought.

"This General Fang is actually not as plain and frugal as you say."

"Oh?"

Zhao Tuo looked at Gu Changsheng's pastries and stuffed his mouth, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The layout and decoration of this Fang Mansion and the ornaments and furniture, although they look plain, are all from the hands of the masters, if I am not mistaken, such a handwriting is from the hands of the royal craftsmen, have you seen the Taishi chair in the middle hall?" ”

"Hmm, look... Arrive... up"

"I've seen a similar one in my father's imperial study, but it's missing some carvings and the workmanship isn't as fine, but the style is the same."

"It seems that this general has won the grace of His Majesty!"

"Who knows."

"Yes, I just don't know when I will be able to see this Nine Dragons Pearl."

The two talked unhurriedly, and Zhao Tuo also introduced various objects to Gu Changsheng without saying a word, because the two of them hid in the corner and ate pastries, no one paid attention to this.

Just as Gu Changsheng finished eating the pastry in his hand and wanted to ask for more, at this time, a person came forward with a pastry.

"Big brother!"

"Brother Hua!"

The person who came was the last brother who came in at the gate of the mansion just now.

"Big brother! The people in the DPRK and China all say you..."

"Dead, huh?"

"Yes...", the boy lowered his head, like a fledgling who had made a mistake, and he didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Tuo.

"It's okay, isn't it okay for big brother to be here?"

Brother Gongzi suddenly became excited, handed the pastry to Gu Changsheng's hand, grabbed Zhao Tuo's hand and said: "Big brother, you don't know, my mother almost didn't cry to death when she heard the news of your death. When did the news of the eldest brother's life and death become the country's government! ”

"There's no need to talk about this, but my mother is okay?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Hua nodded, shook his head again, sighed and said: "Mother is in good health, but Brother Si has been too much recently, and she has become a lot haggard, and I feel that my mother has lost a lot of weight." ”

"Hey... What about you? Why don't you stay with your mother at this time? Zhao Tuo looked at Zhao Hua a little angrily, Zhao Hua was calm, shook his head and said: "I don't believe their nonsense, my eldest brother is the dignified prince of Wei, my eldest brother, how could he lose his life so easily, and when I saw my mother like that, I said to my mother, if I don't go back to you, I won't go back, I didn't think I would go back so soon." ”

"Brother Hua, you seem to have some regrets."

"How is it possible, presumably after the eldest brother and I go back together, my mother will be cheerful."

Zhao Tuo knew that this younger brother of the same mother was very chic and chic, as long as the depression in his heart was resolved, he would not speak lightly, so he didn't care about his tone.

Zhao Hua originally wanted to say a few more bad words about those royal brothers, the eldest brother was fighting on the battlefield outside, as long as the eldest brother went back, he could always cover him.

At this time, Zhao Tuo pulled Gu Changsheng and said: "Brother Hua, this is the little brother I have recognized these days, his name is Gu Changsheng, he is younger than you, and you have become an elder brother, but you have to take good care of this younger brother." ”

Zhao Hua touched the mustache on his mouth, looked at Gu Changsheng left and right, and then looked at Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo saw the doubt in his eyes, nodded, and then Zhao Hua put his hand on Gu Changsheng's shoulder and became affectionate.

It is also this Zhao Hua who can speak well, the young man's temperament, for a while, since it seems that he is Gu Changsheng's acquaintance, Zhao Tuo is an outsider.

This Zhao Hua is also interesting, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, bird walking and chess are all fine, even the gossip Zhou Yi can say one, two, three, and Gu Changsheng's father is also a powerful man, teaching Gu Changsheng things, even Gu Changsheng can't say how much, what Zhao Hua says, Gu Changsheng can pick up two sentences. came and went, and the two seemed to have been acquainted for decades.

"Speaking of the Dongqi Huadiao drunken live shrimp, that's called a tasty ah, pick the best green shrimp, raised with Qingshui Mountain Spring since childhood, and then take the best Huadiao, the shrimp is not drunk and everyone is drunk, the taste is simply... Don't talk about it, I'm going to take you to have a good taste next time. ”

"Okay, okay, don't say it, the Nine Dragons Opera Pearl is coming out." Listening to Zhao Tuo's reminder, Gu Changsheng followed Zhao Tuo's gaze, and saw General Fang's face respectful, holding a box with both hands, covered with yellow cloth, step by step, the one who walked was called a solemn.

All the people present seemed to be infected by the solemnity of this reckless man, and they didn't dare to come out, and they all held their breath one by one, waiting for Fang Zhicheng to put the box on the special rosewood table in the middle hall.

When Fang Zhicheng put down the treasure box, a group of soldiers appeared at the door, stationed and standing, everyone did not think it was unusual, if the rumors were true, this thing was a gift from the emperor, if it was dirty by some people who were not afraid of death, it would not be good. Mei Tie was not afraid, so he stood aside, and his face was almost attached to the treasure box.

Qing Zhifu sat on the upper seat, he was qualified to do this, of course, if Zhao Hua and the others showed their identities, they would snort after Zhao Hua came in, then the old appraiser didn't say anything, naturally no one knew Zhao Hua's identity.

"Lift it!"

"Master Mei, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

"Grinding and chirping, this Nine Dragons Opera Pearl is a birthday gift from the prince of the dynasty to His Majesty the Emperor, although I don't know why it fell into your hands, but that day I went out to arrest the murderer, and this Nine Dragons Opera Pearl has no fate, but I can see it today, how can I not be in a hurry?!" Mei Tie couldn't wait to push Fang Zhicheng away, open it himself, and take a look at his face. His master didn't say much about how good this Nine Dragons Opera Beads were, which made him itch, and wanted Master to ask His Majesty the Emperor to take a look, but Master just refused, and he didn't dare to go by himself. It's just that no matter whether this Nine Dragons Opera Pearl is true or not, you can't uncover it yourself, and this kind of respect for Your Majesty is already deep in the bone marrow.

"Master Mei, don't be anxious, you haven't burned incense yet."

was disturbed by Mei Tie like this, and the atmosphere in the hall eased a little, but I don't know who said it.

"Looking at the posture, I'm afraid that this Nine Dragons Opera Pearl was really given by His Majesty the Emperor himself."
