Xiao He also passes by this street market on weekdays. During the day, I only feel that it is unusually prosperous, the city is full of pearls, household surplus Luoqi, jade plate delicacies, and luxury. Unexpectedly, after nightfall, the street market has a different scenery - the oars of the painted boats, the sultry singing, and the colorful skirts on the beauties have been dyed with a layer of gentle ambiguity.

Xiao He glanced at Duan Heng, who was beside him with mixed extravagance and ruffianism, his eyes closed slightly, as if he was already intoxicated in this blurry night.

Hmph - a gentleman, Xiao He scolded in his heart.

However, this Heng appearance can actually be regarded as Qingjun, if there is any difference between him and Mu Churan, it is probably that he is a little less fierce and a little more gentle. But that little bit of gentleness is very much like being raised in the pile of beauties, because although it is obvious, it is extremely difficult to reach the bottom of the eye, like a habit, and like a perfunctory.

What makes Xiao He feel the most puzzling is that he can obviously live the noble spirit of a real noble child, but he lingers gently, feasts on wine and meat, and uses layers of disguise to cover himself. What is it behind him that he wants to protect?

Xiao He was in a trance, but Duan Heng suddenly knocked him on the head, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, what are you doing, let's go." ”

Xiao He almost forgot that he was "romantic" when he came out with him, and after waking up from this fan, he was helpless in his heart, so he could only improvise.

A small canopy boat stopped by the bridge, and Duan Heng chatted with the boatman, obviously familiar with the way. Xiao He stood at the stern of the boat and enjoyed himself, watching the reflection of the red lanterns on both sides of the river in the river, which was mashed by the boat pulp and then restored.

It didn't take long for the two of them to go ashore, and the high-rise buildings in front of them were built near the water, with high platforms and fragrant winds. Above the high pavilion is the jade wheel in the sky, and the moonlight below it is like washing, and the embellishment of the nine-fold gauze curtain really makes this place like a dream.

Although Xiao He was amazed by the beautiful scenery, he still hesitated. Duan Heng only said that she was shy, pulled her sleeve and pulled it in.

Entering the Dream Building, there are fragrant clothes and sideburns everywhere, and there are many smiles.

"Duan Shizi, what kind of wind is blowing you here today? The two girls in summer and winter have a guest, do you want to see the spring side or the autumn screen? I told them to wait in advance. "The bustard mother is very attentive.

Duan Heng has always been accustomed to a smile on his lips, and this smile makes him seem half romantic and half gentle, which can best absorb the grace of beauties. He didn't answer the person in a hurry, but directly turned his head and asked Xiao He which wonderful person he had fallen in love with the building.

Xiao He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then glanced at it. She had excellent eyesight, and pointed to a girl playing the pipa in the darkness on the second floor.

"This master can take a fancy to her, that's her blessing, this girl does play the pipa well, but the pipa girl in our dream building has always been a performer and not a person. Lord, look at ....... "The bustard mother was a little embarrassed.

"Only when the rules are broken can they be established. Go and get her with you, this is my guest. Duan Heng didn't care, and threw a ingots to the bustard's mother.

The bustard's mother nodded again and again, "It's the old body who remembers wrongly, and I remember it wrong, so I'll call you." ”

"There are many rules in the Dream Building, please don't laugh at Brother Xiao."

Xiao He didn't make a sound, only bowed her head slightly, she inexplicably felt that the smile on the corner of Duan Heng's mouth was very unpleasant at the moment.

After a while, Duan Heng hugged left and right upstairs, and Xiao He was also led into a boudoir.

There was a little girl sitting in the room, the one who had just pointed to her. The beautiful clothes just now have been changed to bright colors, and they are dressed up, and they are even more delicate, shy and timid, and the two eye circles are red, obviously crying.

When this little girl saw Xiao He, she first thought that this son was really handsome, and then she was shocked by the blood on his face, and then she thought of the sudden change in her fate just now and what was about to happen, and she felt sorry for herself and wanted to cry.

Xiao He didn't try to persuade her, she had never been too lazy to persuade people. Wu found a chaise longue and sat down, made himself a cup of tea, swallowed two handfuls of melon seeds, and estimated that the little girl had cried enough. Said idly: "I don't move you, play me a pipa song." ”

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and went to fetch the lute in disbelief. With two fingers and one pick, Wu Nong's soft words were very gentle. Xiao He quietly discerned it with his ears, and sang "Yulou Spring".

No wonder Duan Heng loves to run to this kind of place, and the feeling of being drunk and gentle is quite restrictive. Xiao He thought secretly in his heart while continuing to listen to the song and eat melon seeds.

There were a few people who came to Rumenglou like Xiao He to eat melon seeds, so they were swallowed by Xiao He in less than a while. Looking at the dark night outside the window, it was estimated that Duan Heng would not be able to leave for a while, and it was not interesting to stay here. Xiao He clapped his hands and prepared to go back first.

When I went downstairs, I met the bustard mother and asked how she was doing.

Xiao He nodded, and said that the song sang well, and after listening to it all night, let her continue to be a pipa girl.

The bustard's mother didn't react for a while, and was about to ask for details.

Xiao He only turned around and said, "It's all the son of the world", and then fled out of this dream building.

It took a long time to cross the bridge by boat, and Xiao He finally returned to his mansion. Washed up and slept, had a good night's sleep, and completely forgot where Duan Heng was drunk and dreamed of death.

Early the next morning, Duan Heng came again, and Xiao He experienced for the first time what it means to be "ghosted".

Duan Shizi drank tea by himself when he entered Xiao He's door, never treating himself as an outsider, Xiao He secretly rolled his eyes in his heart and didn't want to deal with him.

"I remember that Brother Xiao's tea was still hairy yesterday, and today it will be replaced with chrysanthemum tea."

Xiao He was silent.

"Also, chrysanthemum tea is clear of the fire, Brother Xiao ate melon seeds in Rumenglou all night yesterday, and today must be very angry."

Xiao He raised his eyes when he heard this, and saw Duan Heng with a smile in his eyes, all of which were teasing.

She really couldn't look at it, so she simply drank a sip of chrysanthemum tea to moisten her throat, and said it with a straight face.

"Shizi, although I, Xiao He, am a hypocrite, I have to be famous and good in my life, not beautiful. Yesterday, thanks to the love of the prince, Xiao was really gracious. ”

The smile in Duan Heng's eyes did not decrease, and he could see that Xiao He had no bottom in his heart.

Xiao He regretted going to Rumenglou with him yesterday, regretted that he ate melon seeds in Rumenglou yesterday, and regretted letting Shizi treat him yesterday.

Regret not at the beginning, regret not at the beginning.

Xiao He was terrified in his heart, but he was afraid that Duan Heng would know that she was a daughter.

Originally, it would be good to stay away from a person like him who has a lot of city government, but he wanted to crash into it, thinking that the most dangerous place was the safest place.

Duan Heng looked at the people in front of him who couldn't hide their embarrassment, and just wanted to laugh.

He has seen a lot of people who go to the Qinglou for the night, but he has really not seen a few people who eat melon seeds overnight; It's just a matter of going to the Qinglou to eat melon seeds, and the one who gets on fire is probably no one except him Xiao He.

The person in front of him was clearly the same Xiao He who had an unknown origin, an unpredictable purpose, and was good at hiding himself, but Duan Heng suddenly felt that there was something to love.

Speaking of cuteness, it seems to be used to describe women more often, Duan Heng suddenly remembered his sister.

He is the prince of Anwangfu, and his sister Duan Shengyi is the county lord of the mansion. Although they are brother and sister, the two have very different styles. He seems to be loose and debauched, but his heart is like a mirror for the current situation. Sister Duan Sheng Yigui is the county lord, and she is the most upright on weekdays, but in fact, there is no difference between the heart-minded city government and the ordinary boudoir women. My sister has been holding the county lord's shelf since she was a child, and she can't let go of it anymore, and now her competitive heart is soaring with age, and her eyes can't tolerate others to surpass. If you talk about the cuteness of the little daughter's posture, although Xiao He, who eats melon seeds in the Qinglou, is a man, he is slightly better than her.

Thinking of this, Duan Heng couldn't help but lower his eyes. It's a pity that my sister, a good daughter's family, has to pretend to be old and high, and she is a pearl who is stunned and dusty. The eldest brother is like a father, how can he explain to his father as an elder brother.

How did Xiao He know about the hundred turns and thousands of turns in Duan Heng's heart, but he noticed that the person who was still making fun of him in front of him suddenly faded from his smile.

Xiao He muttered to himself in his heart, he didn't say anything, could it be that he showed off his wealth to himself yesterday, claiming that his family had a great business, and he felt sorry for the silver that was like a dream building? It's true that the richer the person, the more stingy he is, and the ancients don't deceive me.

Xiao He suddenly got up and rummaged through the cabinets to find silver.

Duan Heng was still speculating about what he was doing with this move? Xiao He had already held a bag of silver and put it on the tea table.

"The prince doesn't have to feel distressed, although my Xiao can't compare with you financially for the time being, I still have read a little book. The ancients said that "poor and strong, do not fall into the ambition of the clouds", these silver are probably equivalent to the value of the ingots you spent last night, you can go back to the house to count, return more and make up for less, Xiao is waiting at any time. ”

As soon as Xiao He finished speaking, he tied up the silver and put it in the arms of the prince, and called the little servant loudly.

"Someone's coming—send the son out of the house."

Before Duan Heng could react to how all this happened, he was already standing at the gate of the Xiao Mansion.

After Xiao He saw Duan Heng leave, he looked at the remnant tea on the table and shook his head with a sigh.

"Duan Shizi's appearance, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like such a stingy person, he really knows people and doesn't know his heart these days. Their royal people, it's really stranger than the other. ”

Here, Duan Heng thought while walking with a bag of silver, and returned to King An's Mansion.

Due to Duan Heng's uninhibited nature and many friends outside, it is common for him not to return home for ten days and half a month. Princess An had told her several times to no avail, so she didn't ask anymore.

The guards in front of King An's mansion saw that there was a person who looked like his own son, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief, confirming that he was not mistaken, it was indeed his own son who had returned, and quickly went in to return to Princess An and the county lord.

Princess An was very happy, and specially ordered to go down to the palace dining room to prepare dishes such as Ruyi rolls, poached crab meat, etc., which Duan Heng liked for lunch.

The family is happy at the table, and the mother is kind and filial.

Duan Shengyi was very happy to see her brother come back, although she didn't like Duan Heng's mansion to linger outside, but the brother-sister relationship since childhood made her want to chat with Duan Heng, and that little bit of girlish curiosity prompted her to listen to her brother say that something interesting was happening outside.

Such a mood drove Duan Shengyi. After lunch, she heard that her brother was in the study, so she couldn't wait to go.
