"Miss, where are you going?" Xin Qiao saw that Huayan was not going home, so she grabbed her sleeve and said anxiously.

Before Huayan could speak, Sheng Lan came over and said, "You have to change your name to the eighth master." ”

"Shenglan's reminder is right! Besides, when did you see me coming home on time? Wouldn't it be a waste to guard the four walls on such a good day? Huayan broke free of Xinqiao's hand and walked towards the downtown area. She was attracted by the food and snacks sold by the stalls full of life along the way, and bought several piles of them. Shenglan and Xinqiao's two hands are all full.

"Eighth Master, wait for us, you go slowly." Xinqiao followed and shouted anxiously.

As if he hadn't heard, he walked ahead in his own way. The three of them walked all the way around, and after a while, they came to Dragon Snake Street.

Huayan held Xin Qiao in one hand and Sheng Lan in the other, and finally passed through the noisy crowd on Dragon Snake Street and came to the door of the Forgotten Dust Building.

The two guards, one fat and one thin, stood motionless and straight, without looking at the painting.

Why didn't these two check her waist cards like they did last time? Hua Yan felt strange, but he still raised his feet silently and continued to walk forward, half a line, and then retreated, and was about to open his mouth to talk to them, but the fat guard spoke first. "Eighth master, hey, hey, you don't have to answer the question."

Huayan patted the fat guard's shoulder, nodded, and was about to speak, but was preempted by the thin guard. "Eighth master, you don't have to show your waist card, just go in."

Hua Yan pressed the thin guard's shoulder with his other hand, and said funny: "I'm not asking this, I'm trying to ask, what are your names?" ”

The fat guard immediately arched his hands and said loudly: "Back to the eighth master, the small one is two taels." The thin guard continued: "Eighth master, the name of the little people is Liufang. ”

When Hua Yan heard this, he looked the fat guard up and down, and said with a smile: "Two or two? I think you're two hundred, right? Hahaha......"

"What? Two hundred? But my mother has called me two taels since I was a child, how can I remember wrong! Erliang scratched his head, unable to understand.

Liufang took the folding fan in his hand and secretly knocked on the back of Erliang, squeezed his eyebrows, and blew a sentence, "The eighth master said that you weigh two hundred!" ”

Erliang suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "It's two hundred, oh no, it's more than two hundred...... At least there are ......," two taels finished speaking, pinching their fingers and counting. completely lost the majestic appearance just now, but like a stupid son from the next door.

"It's three hundred and five, you made a bet with others two days ago, don't forget it." Liufang stabbed Erliang's arm with a fan shaft again, stopping his nonsensical calculations.

"Interesting, interesting. Hahaha......" Huayan shook his head, pretending to be a man's laughter, and laughed and walked into the Forgotten Dust Building.

Xin Qiao and Sheng Lan staggered to follow, carrying large bags and small bags.

Hua Yan came to the hall on the first floor of the Forgotten Dust Building, and immediately looked around, and there seemed to be more people coming and going than some time ago. She looked at the noisy sound on the third floor, and saw the shepherd holding a cloth in her hand and a group of girls and women seemed to be discussing something lively. Huayan didn't want to disturb the shepherd's interest, so she walked to the second floor, her exclusive Accord.

As soon as she came to the Accord, the warm fragrance of flowers greeted her, covering her whole body warmly, and the surrounding furnishings were spotless. She walked to the window, pushed the window door open, and the boiling noise of the downtown immediately broke into the Xiang Pavilion. She took the teacup that Xin Qiao brought and leaned against the window railing, watching the scenes on the street. Even if it is an argument for a few pennies, the crying of children, she finds it funny. Even if it is only a moment of contamination with the breath of life, complicated trivial matters, it makes her feel extremely relieved, and she feels that she is an ordinary person who really lives here.

I don't know how long it was, she, Mi Ziqing's ice-like heart, melted, had joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and knew ordinary happiness and the feeling of true happiness. Maybe all these changes are reminding her that she is no longer the Mi Ziqing she used to be, but a painter. This is the only evidence that she can determine that she has changed her identity.

The door creaked open, and the shepherd walked gently to the side of the painter, and looked at her intently.

"I think business has been doing well lately." Hua Yan said softly.

"Since the last time Miss you played a song, business has been getting better day by day." The shepherd took the cooled teacup in Hua Yan's hand, added a new cup and handed it to her.

Hua Yan nodded and took a sip of tea, "Mu Niang, help me write two letters, and ask the third prince and Xiao Minglang to come over immediately, saying that I have something important to discuss with them." ”

"Yes." The shepherd replied softly, lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, and walked out.

His gaze fell back on the market.

In the window of the private room next door, she also leaned against a woman, but she looked sad and depressed. Her eyes wandered around the market, but her eyes were only on the passing carriages. She seemed to be waiting for someone, her eyes were dull, and she looked like she wanted to wear it. That's right, this woman is Lin Yunrou. And the person she is waiting for day after day is Liu Che'er. Since the last time I saw him in the palace, I haven't had a chance to meet him again. She yearns for the powerful, Liu Che'er is a symbol of the powerful, and she thinks that she should only accompany the powerful. She eagerly waited for the powerful to take her away from the place that embarrassed her.

After a while, a delicate carriage really stopped downstairs in the Forgotten Dust Building, and two richly dressed men got out of the car, Liu Che'er and Xiao Minglang. Lin Yunrou almost shouted happily, and she hurriedly closed the window door, for fear that they would find out her haggard appearance. She called the girl, brought a basin of hot water to wash her face, found a set of beautiful clothes, dressed up with joy, and sat and waited for the opportunity to meet.

Not long after the shepherd came out of the Accord, she came back again.

"Sent all the invitations so quickly?" Hua Yan turned around and asked.

"No need to send it, here they are." The shepherd smiled and invited Liu Che'er and Xiao Minglang after her birth.

Hua Yan put down the teacup in his hand, and immediately changed his tone to speak, "Hahaha, it's a coincidence, I was going to invite the two of you, but I didn't expect you to come over by yourself." ”

While inviting a seat, Huayan glanced at the shepherd. The shepherd lady immediately understood, and quietly waved to Xin Qiao and Sheng Lan who were standing aside. "Eighth Master, you talk, let's retreat first."

Xinqiao and Shenglan followed behind the shepherd and slowly retreated.

Liu Che'er and Xiao Minglang didn't seem to notice that there were other people in the house, and continued the topic they had just discussed. Liu Che'er waved his hand to let Hua Yan sit down, "You must already know about Peicheng, right?" ”

Hua Yan nodded and said, "I already know, I heard that the disaster situation in Peicheng is becoming more and more urgent, and in some places, there are people eating people. Hey, it's miserable. ”

Liu Che'er frowned and said heavily: "It's because this king didn't make arrangements at the beginning, otherwise it wouldn't have been like this." ”

"You can't blame the prince, it's all the fault of the war." Hua Yan comforted.

Xiao Minglang took over the conversation, "How much relief money has the imperial court allocated this time?" ”

Liu Che'er shook his head and said, "There is no specific number, only send us to inspect first." ”

"The prince went in person? Is that a dangerous place? No, it's not necessarily that someone eats your toes in the middle of the night. "Painting Yan exaggeratedly.

"You're talking too seriously. However, this time, Master Hua and Brother Lang and I are with us, and Peicheng's problem should be solved soon. ”

Hua Yan stood up suddenly, "Draw the adult, paint the summer mountain?" Go too?! ”

Liu Che'er and Xiao Minglang looked at her in surprise at the same time, expressing puzzlement at her such abnormal behavior.

"This king can't lie to you? This morning, the emperor has already issued an order. ”

"Hehehe, I heard that Master Hua had successfully managed a serious famine before, and now that he is gone, Peicheng's problem is not big. Hehehehe......" Huayan diligently poured tea for the two of them, covering up his abnormal behavior. She originally planned to go with Liu Che'er and them, but now that her father is also there, she can't go.

Thinking of this, Hua Yan said with a sad face: "It's a pity that I can't go with you." ”

"Why?" Xiao Minglang asked.

"I can't leave lately." She stood up suddenly, waved her hand, and said heroically, "However, if you need my help in anything, just write to me, and I will try to solve it as much as I can." I am your strong back! ”

While the three of them were talking, there was a crisp sound of guzheng playing outside the door.

Painting is a little strange, singing and dancing performances are generally only carried out at night, this big noon, how can there be a woman's singing voice, she opened the door, looking for prestige.

A veiled woman in pink was in the center of the stage on the first floor, playing the guzheng, and the words in her mouth were somewhat familiar to her.

"Qingqing Zijin, take care of my heart, even if I don't go to Zining?"

Liu Che'er also stood up, walked over to look, and said to Xiao Minglang behind him: "Do you think she looks like a person?" ”

Xiao Minglang was puzzled, got up and looked, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he thought for a while and said, "It's very similar." ”

"What are you guys doing?" Hua Yan interjected and said.

Liu Che'er shook the fan and sat down on the viewing railing at the door again, "This Lin Yunrou girl, the masked appearance is very similar to the second lady of the painting house, painting face." ”

Huayan touched her fake mustache and smiled secretly, "Oh? It's a pity I didn't meet her. ”

"Hasn't she been to you before?" Liu Che'er remembered the stunning performance of the four that day, and turned his face to ask.

The painting still didn't know, "There are many girls who come to my Forgotten Dust Building, how can I remember so much, maybe it was received by the shepherd that day." ”

Liu Che'er was silent when she heard this, and looked back.

Huayan has a sentence of explanation: "I sell books, cloth, and wine here, and even if any customer is happy, it is okay to come to me and sing a song on the stage." ”

Liu Che'er shook his fan and smiled. "You're going to do business!"

Seeing that Xiao Minglang could see his attention on the stage, Hua Yan stabbed his arm, "Brother Lang is still satisfied with me, the top girl?" ”

"Do you think it's a draft? Can there be a positive shape? Xiao Minglang sat back in place unnaturally.

"I'll tell her to come over." After Hua Yan finished speaking, he was about to turn around and tell the shepherd.

"No need, I'll wait to go home and prepare for tomorrow's trip." Liu Che'er folded the fan and got up to stop it, and left with Xiao Minglang.

Huayan followed, "Doesn't the prince admire her very much, every time he comes, he has to see her, why don't he say hello this time." ”

"She's just like her after all, not her." Liu Che'er came to the door, and the carriage he was in was already waiting beside him.

Huayan turned his face and asked Xiao Minglang beside him, "Who?" ”

"Think for yourself." Xiao Minglang then also got into the carriage.

Hua Yan touched his head and thought about what he had just said, and suddenly remembered the key point again, and chased a few steps, "I'll set off tomorrow?!" ”

However, the noisy downtown has covered her voice, and naturally there is no echo.

Lin Yunrou, who was still playing and singing on stage, saw that Liu Che'er didn't say hello, and left in a hurry, she lost interest, pushed the piano in annoyance, and went back to the room angrily.
