That night, after the Long Mansion was closed, Young Master Long came to the gatehouse and asked Ma Long to guard outside, but left Li Hu in the gatehouse to talk.

"Li Hu! How has Young Master Ben treated you over the years? Long Zaitian wittily used the words "Young Master Ben".

"Thanks to the young master's kindness, it's great to treat us like little brothers!" Long Zaitian is the young master of the Dragon Mansion, but he has no young master at all - he treats his teacher Wang Mingyuan and housekeeper Feng Changwen with great respect; treats the captain of the nursing home, Liu Kefan, the gatekeepers Li Hu, Ma Long and others like brothers, and they get along very well.

"In that case, I have something to ask you to help with, can you help?"

"The young master is serious! How can you say a word of invitation even though you have been commanded? Not to mention helping! ”

"Good! Then I'll make it clear! Long Zaitian asked Mrs. Long to match Liu Kefan and Jiang Cuilian to talk about marriage, Jiang Cuilian was reluctant, so she excused herself and said that she had already talked about someone, but in fact she didn't talk about it, and now Li Hu will be a fake stand-in to act as the "person who has talked" that Jiang Cuilian said.

"This ...... Will Jiang Cuilian agree? If Madame finds out in the future, will she blame me? "It's a good thing to be in love with Jiang Cuilian; But Li Hu considered that once Mrs. Long knew, he would not be able to eat and walk around.

"Don't worry about this, I've already said it over there! It's okay there, madam, but I'll carry it if there's anything, and I won't embarrass you. ”

"Okay! Since the young master has already arranged it, I will resolutely do it! Hey! Young Master Long! Why do you care about the maid Jiang Cuilian? Isn't it ......" Because everyone usually gets along very well, after the business is discussed, Li Hu will make fun of Young Master Long.

"You're itching, aren't you?" As Young Master Long spoke, he made it look like he was going to beat Li Hu with his fist; Li Hu hurriedly begged for mercy: "The villain doesn't dare!" The villain doesn't dare! Please forgive me! ”

After the master and servant made trouble for a while, Young Master Long called Ma Long in to tell him about the situation, so that Ma Long knew that once Mrs. Long investigated and understood, Ma Long must help to fulfill the lie, saying that Li Hu and Jiang Cuilian had already fallen in love.

After the matter was negotiated, Young Master Long withdrew from the porter and informed Jiang Cuilian - Jiang Cuilian met Liu Kefan the next day, and her attitude was obviously cold!

Jiang Cuilian's attitude towards Liu Kefan was obviously not good, Liu Kefan was very depressed, but he didn't dare to tell Mrs. Long. Liu Kefan thought about it, and wanted to find Young Master Long Zaitian, who was the same age as him and didn't have a master's shelf, to help.

One day after dinner, Liu Kefan saw Young Master Long Zaitian return to the study, so he followed him in.

"Young Master Long! Have you had a good meal? Liu Kefan asked with a smile.

"Yo! It's Kefan! What are you looking for me? ”

"Young Master Long! I...... I have one thing I would like to ask you to help with. ”

"What's the matter? Is it a lack of money? "Li Hu, Ma Long, and Liu Kefan, because they usually have a good relationship with Young Master Long Zaitian, and if there is any urgent matter at home that needs money, they will borrow money from Young Master Long, and they will all respond to requests.

"It's not a lack of money, it's ...... It's a lack of affection. Liu Kefan said a little embarrassed.

"It's not a lack of money, it's a lack of affection? What do you mean? "Young Master Long Zaitian seems to be aware of something.

"Young Master Long! Mrs. was kind enough to match my marriage with Jiang Cuilian. But Jiang Cuilian was kind to me a few days ago, but she suddenly treated me coldly these days. I think...... Master Long! You greet the lord and lady every day, and often contact Jiang Cuilian, I want to ask you to help me talk to Jiang Cuilian and let her be kind to me; You are a young master, she will listen to what you say. "I don't know that Liu Kefan told Young Master Long Zaitian about these things, which is simply seeking skin with the tiger.

"Oh! That's it! Kefan! I can help you with anything else, but I can't help with this - this emotional matter is more about 'mutual affection', not wishful thinking, and you can't make it difficult. A reluctant marriage is not happy, even painful. It's a painful marriage, why should we force it? Reluctantly! Aren't they all living in pain in the end? Therefore, I advise you, if Jiang Cuilian is unwilling, you don't have to pursue it hard! Jiang Cuilian is a "man with a dragon in the sky", and Liu Kefan actually asked Young Master Long for "a man with a dragon in the sky", which is like asking the groom for a bride; How could Young Master Long Zaitian help him persuade Jiang Cuilian? It's already a blessing not to beat him Liu Kefan!

"Young Master Long! But this Jiang Cuilian is too endearing, too charming and moving; I've been with her for a while, and now I can't stop it! Liu Kefan was immersed in getting along with Jiang Cuilian.

"If you can't stop, you have to stop! You like her, she doesn't like you, what's the use of your shaver's pick? Don't say that I can't persuade her, even if I desperately mobilize Jiang Cuilian to marry you, this twisted melon won't be sweet. Besides, Jiang Cuilian is only a teenage girl, and you are a man in his twenties, which is not a good match! I advise you to die of this heart! "It's really only allowed the state officials to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps - Long Zaitian is the same age as Liu Kefan, he can love Jiang Cuilian, but Liu Kefan is not allowed to love Jiang Cuilian; He has a wife who can love Jiang Cuilian, but Liu Kefan can't love Jiang Cuilian without a wife - Originally, Liu Kefan wanted to ask Young Master Long Zaitian to help persuade Jiang Cuilian, but now Young Master Long Zaitian wants Liu Kefan to die to pursue Jiang Cuilian's heart. This disappointed Liu Kefan!

"This ......" Liu Kefan was angry.

"What is this? Why does a husband have no wife? There is grass within 100 steps! There are many beauties in the world! Why should you dwell on someone who doesn't love you? I think you have to cut through the mess quickly and forget about it completely! Young Master Long Zaitian would never allow Liu Kefan to get involved with "his" Jiang Cuilian, so he unceremoniously asked Liu Kefan to "cut through the mess quickly and completely forget about this matter"

"This ......" Liu Kefan hung his head and withdrew from Long Zaitian's study.

Liu Kefan didn't dare to pester Jiang Cuilian too much, but Jiang Cuilian took the initiative to "act" for Mrs. Long to watch.

One afternoon, Mrs. Long, who had a good lunch break, did not see Jiang Cuilian come to serve for a long time; After a while, he got up and went to the west wing to visit Jiang Cuilian. Before Mrs. Long arrived at the West Wing, she heard someone talking in Jiang Cuilian's room.

"Little Cuilian! Do you know about what we get along? This seems to be the voice of the gatekeeper Li Hu.

"Madame doesn't know! I have never dared to tell Madame. ”

"What don't you dare to tell about this, we are in legitimate contact and get along properly, not nonsense, and Madame will not blame us if she knows."

"I'm about to discuss this with you! Mrs. asked me to get along with Liu Kefan a few days ago, and I said that I had already talked about people! Madame asked me who I was talking about? I didn't dare to say it. Do you think you can say it or not? ”

"Why can't you say it! You should have made it clear to Madame! If you make it clear to your wife, your wife won't let you get along with Liu Kefan! This is exactly the voice of the gatekeeper Li Hu.

"That's good! Since you agree to say it, I will make it clear to my wife when I will not let Liu Kefan always pester me. ”

"Liu Kefan, this kid is too much of a thing! Why are you fighting with me for a woman? When will I teach him a lesson? Li Hu said angrily.

"Don't, don't! This is what Mrs. meant, and Liu Kefan can't be blamed entirely, please don't make trouble. ”

"Alright! Then I'll bear with it a little longer; But you have to hurry up and explain the matter of the two of us to your wife, so as not to pester you, this kid Liu Kefan. ”

"I see! Hurry up and go! I'm going to serve Madame! Jiang Cuilian got up and pushed Li Hu to leave quickly.

Li Hu didn't leave quickly, but Mrs. Long hurried back to the room - she didn't want Jiang Cuilian and Li Hu to see her coming; But Jiang Cuilian and Li Hu have seen her coming, and they have also seen her leave!

The viewer is gone! It's time for the actors to leave! However, I don't know if the actor is too involved in acting, or if the play has not been played enough, when the "actor" Li Hu was leaving, he was still a little reluctant to give up on the "actress" Jiang Cuilian.

Jiang Cuilian came to Mrs. Long's room and saw that Mrs. Long was already drinking tea, so she hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, saying that she had overslept and asked Mrs. for forgiveness.

Madame Long glanced at Jiang Cuilian and asked with a complicated expression:

"Little Cuilian! You've been in contact with Kefan for a while, what do you think of this person? ”

"Madam......" Jiang Cuilian pretended to be speechless and stopped.

"What's wrong? Can't you get along? ”

"Madame! I...... I've really been talking about people! ”

"You're really talking about people already? Who's talking about? Madame Long pretended not to know.

"I talked about him...... He is the gatekeeper Li Hu! Jiang Cuilian seemed to have tried her best to say the name Li Hu.

"The person you're talking about is Li Hu? Is this true or false? Why didn't I see any signs before? I've never heard you say that! Although Mrs. Long saw Li Hu talking about love in Jiang Cuilian's room, she didn't believe it very much in her heart - there was no sign at all before, when she asked Jiang Cuilian to talk to Liu Kefan, Jiang Cuilian didn't say that she was already talking to Li Hu, why did she get along so affectionately all of a sudden.

"This ...... It's true! Jiang Cuilian's reply was obviously lacking in confidence.

"It really can't be fake! It's not fake! I'm going to look into this! If you really talk to Li Hu, I can't force you to talk to Liu Kefan - Liu Kefan and Li Hu are both from the Dragon Mansion, I can't favor one over the other, the good one, the old one! ”

"It's true! It's not fake! Leave it to Mrs. Investigate. Jiang Cuilian said stubbornly.

"Good! I'll look into it! Lady Long laughed wistfully.

After Jiang Cuilian took the lead, Young Master Long immediately came forward to fight the second battle - persuading Mrs. Long not to do bad things with good intentions, and not to force Jiang Cuilian, who was already in love with Li Hu, to talk to Liu Kefan. But Mrs. Long still didn't believe this in her heart, and even wondered why Long Zaitian cared so much about Jiang Cuilian.

On the afternoon of the next day, Mrs. Long pretended to be lounging, went to the concierge to learn about Ma Long, and asked Ma Long if he knew about Li Hu and Jiang Cuilian. Ma Long, who was instructed by Young Master Long, said in a vivid voice how good Li Hu and Jiang Cuilian were; Mrs. Long gradually broke off the idea of matching Jiang Cuilian and Liu Kefan.

Liu Kefan couldn't get the support of Mrs. Long, and gradually distanced himself from Jiang Cuilian, and slowly, he forgot about this "unrequited love" with only sunrise and no sunset!

Liu Kefan gradually forgot about Jiang Cuilian! Li Hu got the "support" of Young Master Long, but he was energetic! He also really stuck to Jiang Cuilian - this Jiang Cuilian is so beautiful! A smile and a cheek, every move and every move reveal infinite charm, which makes him fascinated and unforgettable for a long time - if he can really form a lifelong partner with such a beauty, it is simply as happy as a fairy. Even if you can't be a lifelong partner, it's a great pleasure to see and talk like this! Therefore, Li Hu stuck to the charming and moving Jiang Cuilian and did not lose it!

"I frowned, but I was in my heart." Liu Kefan is not coming! Li Hu didn't lose it-Jiang Cuilian had just sent away a tiger, but she ran into a wolf and a **.

Young Master Long Zaitian didn't say that he had already agreed with Li Hu, and Li Hu would not make it true with me. But how could this Li Hu be like this? No way! I have to tell Young Master Long about this matter quickly, and let Young Master Long stop Li Hu.

Jiang Cuilian waited for an opportunity to find Long Zaitian and told Young Master Long about Li Hu's insistence; Long Zaitian heard this, and after comforting Jiang Cuilian, he went to the gate to find the gatekeeper Li Hu.

"Li Hu! Come here! Young Master Long Zaitian said as he ran into the gatehouse.

Li Hu heard that Young Master Long was calling him, told Ma Long, and immediately came to the gatehouse.

"Young Master! What do you call me? ”

"You kid, you're getting good at it, aren't you?"

"Young Master! You...... What did I do wrong? Li Hu saw Young Master Long's angry face, and knew that Young Master was angry, but he didn't know what he had done wrong.

"What mistake did you make? That's for you! ”

"I ...... I didn't do anything wrong! Li Hu didn't know what to do for a while, offending Tianji.

"I asked you to be a fake stand-in and act as the 'talker' that Jiang Cuilian said, the purpose is to squeeze out Liu Kefan, who Jiang Cuilian is unwilling to talk about. Now that Liu Kefan doesn't stick to Jiang Cuilian, you don't lose Jiang Cuilian, right? ”

"Young Master, you ...... That's what you're talking about! This...... I ......" Li Hu couldn't imagine that he had the heart to get close to Jiang Cuilian, and Young Master Long knew about it so quickly; I never thought that Young Master Long would be so angry because of this - this shows that the relationship between Young Master Long and Jiang Cuilian is extraordinary. If Jiang Cuilian "is Young Master Long's person", and I still stick to Jiang Cuilian, wouldn't that be singing an elegy for myself? Thinking of this, Li Hu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said:

"Young Master! I accept your will to approach Jiang Cuilian in order to get rid of Liu Kefan, whom Jiang Cuilian doesn't like. In order to make things as real and not let my wife and Liu Kefan see the flaws, I had to contact Jiang Cuilian more frequently. If Liu Kefan has quit now, my role will be finished, and there will be no need to contact Jiang Cuilian again! Master! I promise not to have any more dealings with Jiang Cuilian from now on! Please calm the anger of the young master and rest assured! ”

"If you are clever and interesting, I will not punish you today. But you have to pay attention to me: you must not have more contact with Jiang Cuilian in the future, otherwise I will definitely not be able to spare you! However, you shouldn't stop contacting Jiang Cuilian all of a sudden, that will show your feet - you talk to Jiang Cuilian every once in a while, but don't talk too much, let alone stare at Jiang Cuilian obsessively with lustful eyes. Did you hear that? "Usually everyone gets along well, as long as Li Hu no longer sticks to Jiang Cuilian, Young Master Long will not embarrass Li Hu.

"Hear me! Heard it! Young master, don't worry! I won't dare to stare at Jiang Cuilian in the future! "Wow! Jiang Cuilian even told Young Master Long what I was staring at her, so it can be seen that they ...... Not only are they obsessed with their eyes, but they are afraid that they have done deeper things! They can do something deeper, and I can't do it after a few more looks! Hum! The young master eats meat, and it is illegal for me to smell the fragrance?

"Li Hu! What are you thinking? Young Master Long saw that Li Hu said good things and expressed his attitude, but his eyes were flickering, and he knew that Li Hu had different words, so he suddenly asked.

"Didn't think about anything! Didn't think about anything! Young master, please rest assured, I will not stick to Jiang Cuilian in the future, and I will not stare at her. "What a Li Hu, thinking so in his heart, he can still correctly reply to Young Master Long's words in his mouth, this is probably called "multi-threaded processing" of the brain!

"That's good! Hope you're doing it well! Don't be bored! Young Master Long said, and Zhengse withdrew from the gatehouse.

After Long Zaitian solved the two "love rivals" of Liu Kefan and Li Hu, no one dared to touch "his" Jiang Cuilian! Jiang Cuilian has no distractions without the entanglement of Liu Kefan and Li Hu-either marrying Wan Fuxiang who does not like it in the future, or ...... with Young Master Long

Jiang Cuilian's thoughts about Young Master Long are not impossible delusions-a series of things that happened before are the prelude to a beautiful movement:

In the 24th year of Guangxu, the "moon cake incident" occurred during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Jiang Cuilian jumped into the lotus pond to find a short view; Young Master Long rescued Jiang Cuilian from the lotus pond, hugged Jiang Cuilian for a long time forcefully and gently, and said a lot of whispered love words in Jiang Cuilian's ear.

During the Spring Festival of the twenty-fifth year of Guangxu (the second day of the first lunar month), when Master Long Zaitian gave the red envelope to Jiang Cuilian, the two had a "kiss of the hand" again.

Then, Mrs. Long wanted to marry Jiang Cuilian to Liu Kefan, the captain of the nursing home, but Jiang Cuilian was unwilling and was anxious to discuss with Young Master Long, and the two of them found a way to abandon Liu Kefan.

This series of events has invisibly shortened the distance between Long Zaitian and Jiang Cuilian, and invisibly deepened the relationship between Long Zaitian and Jiang Cuilian. This indescribable affection is like a seed planted in the hearts of Long Zaitian and Jiang Cuilian -- a seed will always take root and blossom -- the flower of affection between Long Zaitian and Jiang Cuilian will surely bloom, but it is just a matter of when.
