Chapter 171: Flowers Must Be Picked

Decades ago, the door of a large family in Huizhou, Jiangnan came to the mother and daughter, the woman was about 30 years old, handsome and knowledgeable.

Standing beside her was a little girl with pink makeup, aged six or seven years old, with a pair of big eyes like a clear pool under her curly and long eyelashes, which made people like it.

"Mother, is this really my father's house?"

shǎo fù took the girl's hand and said gently, "Isn't Shui Lingma happy to see Daddy?" ”

The girl nodded with a smile and said, "Well, happy, mother, why hasn't Daddy come out yet?" ”

The closed door of the cold wind never moved, and shǎo fù plucked up the courage to knock on the door again.

The housekeeper opened the door in embarrassment and said, "My wife said to leave the baby, you go." ”

When the girl heard this, she was so anxious that she cried, and while crying, she took her mother's hand and said, "Mother, doesn't Daddy want you?" Shui Ling don't leave his mother, Shui Ling won't look for his father, let's go back to Tiansi Village. ”

shǎo fù hugged the female baby and cried bitterly: "Shui Ling is good, Shui Ling has nothing to do when she stays at her father's house first, and she will live with you when it is done." ”

The girl desperately hugged her mother's thigh with both hands and refused to let go, crying: "Mother, don't go...... Shui Ling doesn't want to look for his father anymore...... I'm going home to Tiansi Village. ”

shǎo fù hugged her tightly, kissed the girl's cheek and cried, "We can't go back to the flood at home." ”

After speaking, the two hugged their heads and cried.

A noblely dressed woman came out of the door, and her red lips opened lightly: "Housekeeper, what kind of body is crying and making trouble?" ”

The housekeeper hugged the girl away and shouted, "Go away, don't embarrass me." ”

shǎo fù ruthlessly turned around and ran away, leaving the female baby who was struggling desperately in the housekeeper's arms, crying heartbreakingly.

In this way, the five-year-old Hua Bicai met her half-sister Hua Fangfang for the first time, formerly known as Hua Shuiling.

From the first time I saw this lovely sister, Hua Bicai liked her sister, and anyone liked it.

Hua Fangfang is well-behaved and sensible, and her talking eyes will look at people's eyes since she was a child.

She pleases her father, her subordinates, and everyone, and her sweet smile always hangs on her face, so even the mean young lady rarely beats and scolds her, at most she ignores her and ignores her.

But only Hua Bicai saw that Hua Fangfang was actually not happy, once he saw and heard his sister crying behind the rockery alone, her cry was so desolate and sad, and the call of her mother was deeply transmitted in Hua Bicai's heart.

"Sister, don't cry and I'll protect you in the future, I swear." Hua Bicai's immature face showed sincere eyes.

Hua Fangfang wiped away her tears and cried: "I overheard the conversation between my father and the housekeeper just now, my mother died and committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, on the day I came to your house, woo woo woo ......"

Hua Bicai hugged her sister and cried: "Sister, don't be afraid, you still have me, and I ......"

Time flies, and ten years later, the brothers and sisters with excellent feelings have grown to a good age.

Hua Fangfang is gentle and moving, with outstanding appearance and dignified manners.

The flowers must be graceful, the jade tree is in the wind, gentle and elegant.

The entire Huafu is happy to have such a pair of brothers and sisters who are unparalleled in the world, and there is also an endless stream of young ladies who are asking for marriage.

However, the young and frivolous Hua Bicai announced one thing in public at this time: that is, he Hua Bicai would not marry if he was not a flower in his lifetime.

As soon as this matter was announced, not only did it explode in Huajia's house, but even the people in Huizhou City and outside the city knew about it, and for a while, the city was full of wind and rain, and rumors were spreading.

Everyone stretched their necks and waited to see the big joke of the Hua family on the rich side, and the old man of Huafu was so angry that the old illness relapsed before he was fifty years old.

Mrs. Huafu was so angry that she forcibly married Hua Fangfang to a rich son overnight, and Hua Fangfang, who saw through the red dust, followed her father.

On the second day, Hua Bicai, who was drunk with design, woke up and heard the bad news of his sister Zì Sha, and Hua Bicai, who had no love, has been missing since then and wandered the world.

The Huizhou Huafu family on the rich side fell and disappeared into the people's after-dinner conversations.

The past is like smoke, and in the blink of an eye, it is another ten years.

In the secret room collection room, Hua Bicai held a wood carved portrait in his hand and looked sad, in the cabinet on the right hand side of this collection room, there are more than a hundred such identical portraits, without exception, from now on the only person in my heart is you.

In the collection room, there is actually a secret room where there is a statue several meters high, which is the image of the flower that has been carved by Hua Bicai for many years.

The hearts of the world are filled with Buddha, and I will take flowers and harvest, and the only thing that can be filled in my heart is you.

"It's time to eat!" Pei Xiuxiu's voice came.

Hua Bicai sighed and walked out, the dishes on the table today are different from yesterday, but what remains unchanged is that they are still full of color, flavor and appetite.

Hua Bicai said: "I may not remember you as a person after you leave, but the dishes you cook will probably remain in my memory." ”

Pei Xiuxiu said: "Really? It's easy to say, when I open a restaurant in the future, you will come to patronize it. ”

"You don't hate me? In my estimation, your family should be in a hurry now, and the news that Mrs. Zhuangyuan has been kidnapped by me will spread all over the city. Hua Bicai said.

Pei Xiuxiu replied honestly: "Yes, I have no grievances with you, no enmity and no enmity, Miss Lu, you want to hurt me like this, can't you justify it?" Based on my observations of you these days, you are not as bad as the legend says, why ......? ”

Hua Bicai said: "Because Miss Lu looks like a person, a person I will never see again." Knowing the portraits of the beauties hanging on my wall, in fact, each one has a resemblance to the one I have been thinking about for a long time, or eyebrows, or eyes, or nose, or mouth, only Miss Lu is seven points similar. ”

"Who's that guy you're talking about?"

"My sister, my half-sister." Hua Bicai smiled: "The world scolds me for being deviant, why can't I like my sister?" Who in the world has my infatuation? ”

Pei Xiuxiu comforted a few words of embarrassment: "That...... I can only comfort you with one word, go your own way and let others say it! ”

Hua Bicai laughed and said: "Hahaha, I like this sentence, let's have a toast for this sentence." ”

"Still drinking? Don't drink it. Pei Xiuxiu persuaded.

After taking a drink, Hua Bicai said, "Do you know why I have been wearing this flowered robe for so long?" ”

Pei Xiuxiu replied: "In order to match the name of the flower thief? ”

Hua Bicai sneered: "I don't care about the world's eyes, whether it's a flower thief or a swinger, I don't care." ”

"What's the reason for that?"

"My surname is Hua, and my beloved sister is also surnamed Hua."

"Oh, it's rare to have a lover in the world, can't you see that the contrast between your embarrassing reputation and your own can be so great?"

Hua Bicai began to tell the story of her sister Hua Fangfang, Pei Xiuxiu actually cried after listening to it, the most beautiful thing in the world is the story of the bond between people.

And the incomplete and unsatisfactory stories are particularly distressing, and what you can't get is often the best.

Pei Xiuxiu shook her head and asked, "What's the matter with that Wei Concubine in the palace?" ”

Hua Bicai explained: "That Wei Concubine is my childhood sweetheart's friend, my family and her family were old friends, and she was the daughter of the prefect's family before she was elected to the palace as a concubine. She has loved me since I was a child, and once begged his father to propose, but I refused, and my heart is very narrow and can only accommodate my sister alone. ”

"Then why did she want zì shā? It is said that you ......"

"I visited her on a whim that night, and we reminisced about the past together, but what I didn't expect was that after I left, she would choose zì shā. Before I went back, she begged me to take her out of the palace, and she said that she would rather die than stay in the palace, but I refused her, and I regretted not taking her away, and life in the palace was not for her. ”

Pei Xiuxiu sighed: "I guess the reason why she is desperate is because you rejected her, people will only choose to commit suicide when they have nothing to love, because it is more painful to live and die." ”

Hua Bicai sighed and said: "This is the truth, I have died several times but it backfired, and then I didn't force it, like this!" Rushing for decades, everything comes and goes with its time. ”

Pei Xiuxiu looked at the demonic man with peach blossom eyes in front of her, but in a short period of time, she changed her opinion of him.

The things in the world are true and false, false and true, just like the water and moon mirror flowers make people unable to distinguish the true from the false, so the rumors stop at the wise, and you must not listen to the rumors and do not draw conclusions.

Champion Mansion

Aunt Zeng was so anxious that she couldn't stand or sit, and asked where Xiuxiu had gone, but no one told her.

Linghu Subai led the brothers of the Fengyun Society to search the streets and alleys of the capital, but there was still no trace of Xiuxiu's whereabouts.

Zeng Qingfeng asked the empress to secretly bring several groups of people to search everywhere, and after two days of painstaking search, the result of the painstaking search made Rén Dà disappointed, and the flower thief and the flower thief must pick disappeared without a trace as if invisible.

On the third day, rumors spread in the capital, and someone spread the news that Mrs. Zhuangyuan was taken away by the prostitute Hua Bicai, and for a time the city was full of wind and rain, and the men, women and children in the streets and alleys were discussing this matter one after another.

At this time, a mountain man came to report to the official that he had discovered the whereabouts of the thief Hua Bicai.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Back to my lord, the grass people met a man who took a girl down the mountain this morning when he was chopping wood, and I looked familiar with it and then remembered that this person was a thief Hua Bicai, and the head of Hua Bicai was pasted in a conspicuous place all year round, so the grass people could recognize him."

"Quickly lead someone to catch the flowers quickly."

The government here rushed to the mountain with people, and Pei Xiuxiu, who was safe and sound, had already returned to Zeng's mansion.

Aunt Zeng cried when she saw Xiuxiu coming back: "Xiuxiu, it's okay for you to come back, it's good to come back." ”

Zhou Ling'er pretended to cry: "Where have you been in Xiuxiu these days?" We're all dying. ”

Zeng Qingfeng and his entourage, who had returned safely after Xiuxiu, hurried back to Zeng's mansion, and Pei Xiuxiu told everyone what had happened in the past few days without reservation, but unfortunately there were few people who really trusted her.
