Chapter 107: A Flower as a Metaphor for the Country
Xia Zhuofeng and Emperor Huailiang had their own hearts, but they showed harmony. Flash Dance
Emperor Huailiang pointed to a pot of inconspicuous yellow flowers and said, "Lord Messenger, how about you look at this pot of broken star flowers?" ”
Xia Zhuofeng said with an appreciative face: "This flower is as beautiful as its name, simple but elegant, although it is not as beautiful as the peony, it is not very conspicuous in this ten thousand flowers, but the fragrance is charming, the flowers are small and lovely and numerous. ”
His words made Emperor Huailiang laugh, "Haha, the envoy really has a good eye. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a bright peony flower, and said, "I also think that although the peony is praised by literati and artists, it is only a superficial surface, just like this country, the strength of the surface is just an empty pretense." ”
The little eunuch who was waiting next to him immediately understood, stepped forward and pinched off the blooming peony flower, and respectfully presented it.
"No matter how strong this country is, it can't withstand the ravages of the storm, just like this flower, even if it withstands the ravages of the wind and rain, it is no longer able to resist man-made destruction, what does the envoy think?" Emperor Huailiang pinched the peony flower and smiled sincerely.
Xia Zhuofeng's face turned white all of a sudden.
He is not stupid, Emperor Huailiang is comparing them to Cheng'an with peony flowers, and now Cheng'an is suffering from a plague of locusts, and people's hearts are unstable, if there are other countries taking advantage of the chaos to attack at this time......
Xia Zhuofeng didn't dare to continue to think about it.
Closing his eyes a little weakly, Xia Zhuofeng said: "Your Majesty, I understand what you mean, it's just that the emperor has decided?" ”
Emperor Huailiang suddenly lost the peony in his hand, stood up and said: "If it weren't for your Cheng'an's General Su who won our bravest warrior in Huailiang more than ten years ago, how could we Huailiang be willing to be subservient to others, and now the time has come, and the new hatred and old hatred should be counted together." ”
After speaking, he raised his foot and stepped on the delicate peony flower and left.
Xia Zhuofeng looked at the flowers that were trampled on the ground, his body suddenly softened, and he almost planted it.
Before he could come to his senses, more than a dozen guards had already surrounded him.
Xia Zhuofeng's face turned completely white, he didn't think of such a result, but he didn't expect that this Huailiang Emperor was really so ambitious, and he didn't give any of his former affections, and he was so cruel!
In fact, I don't blame people for being ruthless, think about Huailiang has been subservient to Cheng An for almost 20 years, and every year he has to give Cheng Anjin a large number of weapons and countless treasures, and also dedicate the most beautiful girls in Huailiang to them for them to have fun. When Emperor Cheng'an was alive before, he had insulted Emperor Huailiang, and the extent was even worse than Emperor Huailiang's insult to Xia Zhuofeng today, and more than once. After An Jiuchen ascended the throne, he did not insult the emperor, but he tripled the number of beauty treasures that Huailiang wanted to pay tribute, and tried his best to exploit them.
The people of Huailiang also want to live, Cheng'an is so insatiable that he has already provoked the anger of Huailiang's public, so Huailiang recuperates his energy, just so that one day he can turn over and no longer be suppressed by Cheng'an.
Now that the opportunity has come, can Huai Liang hurry up and seize the opportunity to make a comeback?
"Your Excellency, the cells are ready, please?" The guard pushed Xia Zhuofeng and directly asked the two of them to take him out of the imperial garden and put him in prison.
According to the orders of Emperor Huailiang, it was strictly guarded.
Here Liang Yan has just come out of the prison, the girls in the flower building who are imprisoned have a good attitude of admitting their mistakes, and most of them are coerced by others and can't help themselves, Liang Yan educated them and let them go, here she just got out of the prison, Xia Zhuofeng has just been imprisoned, perfect miss, so Liang Yan doesn't know that her father has put Cheng'an's envoy in prison.
Back at the princess's mansion, Liang Yan felt a little lonely, so she asked, "What about Miss Su?" Didn't come back? ”
The maid replied, "Miss Su has never returned. ”
"Okay." Liang Yan nodded, sighed a little helplessly, thinking that this time Su Nuo'er was angry with Liang Yi and ignored her by the way.
The maid asked tentatively, "Princess, you haven't eaten at noon, and you haven't eaten much in the morning, do you want to take a bath and eat something now?" ”
Hearing the maid's question, Liang Yan felt hungry, so she nodded and said, "Then you go and prepare." ”
The maid should have retreated.
In Su Nuo'er's private house.
"Fu Yu, Fu Yu, Fu Yu......"
"Fu Yu, wait for me!" Su Qinghe happily followed Fu Yu's footsteps, and she followed Fu Yu wherever she went, which can be described as perseverance. 35xs
Fu Yu was entangled by her headache, suddenly stopped his steps, turned around and asked helplessly, "What do you want to do?" ”
Su Qinghe blinked and said happily: "Don't do anything, I just want to follow you." ”
Fu Yu frowned: "What do you follow me for?" ”
Su Qinghe still said happily: "Don't do anything, I just want to see what you do, maybe I can help?" ”
Fu Yu refused: "Don't follow me." ”
Su Qinghe didn't care, and still followed.
Fu Yu shook his head helplessly, left the house, and went directly to Su Nuo'er and Sister Chen's Yide ready-to-wear shop. Su Nuo'er immediately followed.
Yide Garment Shop reopened, and old customers were nostalgic and continued to come here to buy materials and make clothes. New customers are attracted by Su Nuoer's ingenious way of publicity, come in and see, the decoration pattern alone is different from others, and then look at the style of clothes, touch the soft material, and there are exquisite embroidery, whether it is new or old customers, all ran here for a while, see a lot of lively, and really buy clothes.
Fu Yu walked in, Zihua and Sister Chen were busy greeting guests, and after looking at it, there was no figure of Su Nuo'er, so they wanted to go out directly.
Su Qinghe, who was chased after him, grabbed his wrist, and Su Qinghe said, "Don't you buy clothes when you come here?" ”
Fu Yu frowned, took her hand, and said, "No." After taking a few steps outside, he said, "I said, don't follow me anymore, it's annoying." ”
Su Qinghe was not embarrassed at all, pursed his lips, and still pulled his legs to follow.
Fu Yu knew that she didn't give up and must follow him, so he didn't speak again, but turned around and entered a jewelry store.
The shopkeeper saw that Fu Yu had an extraordinary bearing, and saw Su Qinghe coming in, the two of them knew each other, so he naturally thought of them as two people, and greeted them very warmly.
"Guest officer, you are buying jewelry for the little lady, right? Then you have come to the right place, we have any style in this store, I guarantee that you are satisfied, and you will take a look? The shopkeeper directly took out two boxes, opened them, and enthusiastically introduced, "Look at these two pieces, this pendant is made of warm jade, often worn on the body can also raise people, and then look at this hairpin, although the style is simple, but it is elegant and concise, very in line with the temperament of this little lady, small jasper, tsk, if you wear it, it is guaranteed to look good!" ”
Su Qinghe couldn't help but rejoice when she heard this, and the joy was not that the shopkeeper praised her, but that the shopkeeper treated her and Fu Yun as a couple. "You little two can talk, show it to me."
Fu Yu glanced at her, reached out and picked up a pair of earrings next to her, and looked at them with interest.
The shopkeeper immediately said: "The guest officer really has a vision, this is a new treasure in our store, and it is said to be made of sapphire." Look at the color of these earrings, crystal clear, light texture, blue and eye-catching, low-key luxury has connotation, and it is the most suitable to give people as gifts. ”
The shopkeeper subconsciously thought that Fu Yu must have bought it for the woman next to him.
"That's good." Fu Yu nodded slightly and looked at Su Qinghe.
Su Qinghe was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Are you going to buy it for me?" ”
Looking at Su Qinghe, who was looking forward to it, Fu Yu suddenly hooked the corners of his lips, shook the pair of sapphire earrings in his hand, and asked, "Do you think Nuo'er will look good wearing this?" ”
The joy on Su Qinghe's face froze suddenly.
"That's it, wrap it up." Fu Yu handed the earrings to the shopkeeper, and didn't look at Su Qinghe, who already had tears in his eyes.
"Huh?" The shopkeeper then understood, was stunned, and hurriedly took the earrings and carefully put them in the small box, and tied a ribbon on the box and handed it to Fu Yu. "Guest officer, these earrings are a bit expensive, I'll give you some change, you can give a hundred taels."
Fu Yu nodded: "Will do business." He handed Xiao Er a silver ticket of one hundred taels, took the box and turned around and left.
Su Qinghe's eyes were in tears, and he silently watched him walk out, not catching up this time.
The shopkeeper asked cautiously, "Girl, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine!" Su Qinghe glared at him angrily and ran out directly.
The shopkeeper who was stared at said that he was very innocent.
When Fu Yu came back, Su Nuo'er had just woken up from a nap, and seeing that it was getting dark, Fu Yu came in as soon as she lit the lamp.
Su Nuo'er was taken aback: "You walk without a sound, don't know how to knock on the door and come in?" ”
Fu Yu glanced at her, took out the small box from his arms, and handed it to her.
Su Nuo'er glanced at him suspiciously, and took it, "For me?" After opening it, I couldn't help but be surprised, "Huh", "Such a beautiful earring, you picked it?" ”
Fu Yu nodded: "Of course." ”
"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." Su Nuo'er looked at him even more suspiciously.
Fu Yu smiled, reached out and directly took off the pair of earrings she was wearing on her ears, and Su Nuo'er refused, and put on the sapphire earrings she bought.
Su Nuo'er: "...... Say, what's wrong with you? ”
Fu Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Seeing that this is good-looking, I will buy it and give it to you." ”
Su Nuo'er asked, "Is it really okay?" Thank you for the gift, but don't buy it for me in the future, you know it's very expensive when you look at this gem, so you don't know that you can save money to marry a daughter-in-law? ”
Fu Yu frowned, and said with a serious face: "Why are you marrying a daughter-in-law?" Just marry you. ”
Su Nuo'er: ......
Outside the door, Gu Ruobai stopped his steps to walk in, knowing that eavesdropping was not done by a gentleman, but he couldn't lift his feet to leave, so he simply stood outside the door and listened to the movement inside.
Su Nuo'er suddenly sighed, and said seriously: "Fu Yu, to be honest, you are handsome, gentle and gentle, strong in martial arts, and rich, do you say what kind of girl are you looking for?" Listen to my advice, don't give up the whole forest for the sake of a tree, you look at Qinghe, I am dead set on you, why don't you accept it at all? Don't say anything you don't like a girl like her, I don't think you know who you like at all, don't wait until you lose it and regret it. ”
Fu Yu raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "But the weak water is three thousand, I only take one scoop is enough, Nuo'er, why do you want to reject me for Ruobai, his identity is destined not to give you what you want, but I can, ten miles of red makeup, a couple for a lifetime, as long as you come, I will give it." Only for you. ”
