Approaching the auspicious day, the Ling Mansion was already busy, and Manager Xie commanded nervously and orderly: "Chunmei, hang the lantern on the eaves a little higher, Qiu Ju will go to the treasury to get more colorful silk, Xiao An asked Xiao Ke to help you carry the rich and auspicious glass bottle to the backyard." Be careful, handle with care, but don't break it. ”

Manager Xie commanded for a while, took another sip of tea and continued to coordinate the overall situation, for such a scene, he already has a wealth of experience, and can control it very skillfully, and this is all thanks to the fact that he has a man who likes vanity and loves to set up banquets.

And this master of his is none other than Ling Cang, the head of the branch of the Ling family in Yancheng, who has the most noble status in Yancheng.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the main hall, the Accord study in the annex was quiet and a little cold at this time. There were two people sitting opposite each other in the study, the old man who was dressed in elegant green clothes, full of crane hair like silk, and in good spirits, needless to say, was naturally Ling Cang, but the other person next to him didn't know who it was, seeing that he was wearing a black robe, with a mask on his face, covering his appearance and expression, and then looking at the mask with a cold face, round eyes, and fangs, I don't know where the depiction is fierce.

Ling Cang laughed, even the loose wrinkles at the corners of his mouth were full of joy, and said: "This time I am happy to meet the young son's 100th birthday, and I have obtained the Chixia Mountain Xuaniron Mine, which is really double happiness." ”

The black robe sitting on the opposite side spoke in a flat and unfazed tone, and said, "Congratulations to the patriarch!"

Ling Cang's smile did not fade, and he blamed: "Hei Ze! You can laugh at such a happy thing, your mask is already hideous and terrifying, so don't look like you are fierce all day long." ”

Kurosawa still smiled and said, "Okay, Patriarch. ”

"Forget it, forget it, if you don't laugh, you won't laugh, and I won't force you. Ling Cang shook his head, in a good mood, and scolded with a smile: "This time, you can explore the Xuaniron Mine, and you can even kill the 'Black Earth Lizard' guarding the Xuaniron Mine. Say, whatever reward you want, just ask. ”

Kurosawa said flatly: "The reward is not necessary. ”

"For so many years, you have repeatedly performed miraculous feats for the Ling family, and you don't want to reward them, if you let people know, you will think that our Ling family has treated you badly. ”

"It doesn't matter what others think, the patriarch and I just know it in our hearts. ”

Ling Cang sighed, after so many years, he knew Hei Ze's strength, and he was not reluctant, and said, "That's it, you're not good at rewarding, then it's okay." ”

Ling Cang threw out a new topic and said: "The border city has made a detailed notification that He Tianyong from the border city also came to the banquet this time, I heard that it was the only surviving border city soldier Cao Li who accompanied the escort in the first battle of Dongdushan, what do you think about this matter?"

"The battle in the border city is a dangerous signal, and it is likely to be an early warning that the demon clan will launch a large-scale war again. ”

"I don't think there's a need to worry too much, the demon clan harassment has been common in recent years, this time the border city guards were defeated, I heard that it was because a demon clan infiltrated the border city guards and was not detected, so they were caught off guard from the inside. It may be that the border guards have been at ease for too long and have been negligent. ”

Hei Ze was amused in his heart, if he wanted to say who had the most comfortable life in this Yan City and the border city, if Ling Cang was second, absolutely no one would dare to fight for the first, and said perfunctorily: "It can only be said that it has been too peaceful, not only the border city guards have become lazy, but the entire Dongxuan is not the same." ”

"Yes, you're right, if it's the first line of defense against the demon clan, it's like this, let alone the Taiping homeland in the rear. Ling Cang sighed: "Then what do you think of He Tianyong? He has never left the border city in the past few years, why did he not come to the banquet at this juncture?"

Kurosawa said: "I'm afraid that going to the banquet is fake, and asking for help is true." ”

"Well, that's what I thought too. Ling Cang nodded in agreement, and asked lukewarmly, "What's that...... Is that Cao Li familiar with you?"

"Unfamiliar ......"

"Then do you have anything to say about this Cao Li?"

"No ......"

"Not a word?"

"Not a word ......"

The two of them asked and answered one after another, and Ling Cang asked again, "Okay, what about the border city guards?"

"I don't have any dealings with the border guards, so I don't know about it. It's just that I often hear that Xing Hao, the captain of the border city guards, is a strong martial artist, even in Yancheng, it is also a rare opponent, a pair of broken water double knives are full of pride, bravery, and temperament is also heroic, bold and generous, and is quite popular in the border city. It's a pity that such a talented person can't meet. ”

Ling Cang: "That's all?"

Kurosawa asked rhetorically, "What else?"

Hei Ze's calm and calm answer made Ling Cang smile embarrassedly: "Forget it, you stinky temper, the entire Ling Mansion is the only one you dare to talk to me like this, that's all for today, you go down first." ”

Kurosawa retreated silently, Ling Cang came to the bookcase, picked a book at random and flipped through it, but his mind was not on the book at all, otherwise, why didn't he find the book when he took it upside down.

"This Kurosawa, with a mysterious identity and a strange temper, where did he come from, and why did he come to assist the Ling family, but after he appeared, he did play a pivotal role in the rapid rise of the Yancheng Ling family in recent years, and just the day before yesterday, the Ling family explored the dark iron ore, and this was mainly due to the discovery of the black ground lizard. Thinking of this, Ling Cang felt that it was because he was getting older, and he was worried a lot, after all, he was not physically good in his twilight years, and he didn't want to worry about it anymore.

Ling Cang looked at the book again, only then did he realize that he had just taken it upside down, this "Imperial Man" had been on the bookcase for a long time and had not been turned over, and he didn't want to read it again today, so he quickly indulged in it.

Jiang Wangchen crossed the covered bridge, turned out of the flower alley, and crossed the street, for some reason, the closer he got to the inn, his heart became offside and eager, and he didn't know if Hua Youyou woke up, Luoyu?

"Big brother, do you want to buy a flower, this new purple sky begonia in early spring is beautiful! Give it to your beloved girl, you will definitely be able to touch your heart." Jiang Wangchen walked and was stopped by a passing flower seller. Jiang Wangchen looked down, and there was a little girl standing in front of him, with pigtails on her head, and her hanging hand flower basket was neatly filled with all kinds of flowers, purple and red, and full of flowers. The little girl laughed and had two pear vortices like flowers, and she was looking at Jiang Wangchen with a pair of big watery eyes at this time.

The little girl asked gently, but Jiang Wangchen's thoughts drifted with the wind, and his heart was surging, he seemed to see that under the sky last night, the moonlight poured silently, pouring over the inn, and a little dripping, falling into the garden, shining into the building, and in the end, like his gaze, all of them were inevitably fixed on that touch of red dust.

Jiang Wangchen smiled back and asked, "Little sister, how do you sell this flower?"

The little girl's voice replied, "Each one costs only five cents." ”

Jiang Wangchen thought to himself that if he was alone with her and met under the moonlight, how about buying a flower with the same moonlight, Jiang Wangchen pointed to a few small flowers with yellow petals and said, "Little sister, sell me all these flowers!"

When the little girl saw Jiang Wangchen buying so much at once, she smiled and said, "Okay! Please wait a moment, big brother, I'll wrap it up for you." ”

The little girl quickly tied up a few flowers and sprinkled a few drops of water, and the yellow flowers suddenly looked even more delicate: "Thank you, big brother, a total of twenty-five Wen." ”

Jiang Wangchen paid, holding the flowers in his hand, and an indescribable throbbing appeared in his heart.

And behind him, the little girl who looked at him far away opened a new order, sighed after receiving the money, and said anxiously: "What a kind big brother, but to send flowers to the girl, it can be peonies, it can be roses, I don't know why the big brother chooses spring flowers, hey, I can only wish the big brother a safe life." ”

Jiang Wangchen carefully held the flowers, and as soon as he stepped into the inn, he heard a familiar voice shouting loudly: "Jiang Wangchen, this way." Jiang Wangchen looked sideways and saw Hua Youyou standing up, waving desperately to himself regardless of the image, and saw Hua Youyou's side was a handsome young man, and there was a beautiful shadow as beautiful as the moonlight, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and walked towards the three of them quickly.

Jiang Wangchen smiled at Luo Xiao and Luo Yu, even if he had said hello, but in Jiang Wangchen's hands, Yingchun, who was cared for, was waiting to be sent out with affection. Jiang Wangchen felt like a war in his heart, and he was panicking about how to open his mouth to reflect his demeanor and embarrassment, but the flowers here had already been eager to snatch the flowers over, and he was overjoyed and said: "Husband, it turns out that you also know how to be romantic, why did you suddenly remember to send flowers to me? Even if it's not a rose, it's a good month, but why is it just spring." ”

Jiang Wangchen hadn't reacted yet, he only felt that his hands were empty, and when he looked at it again, he found that the flowers had fallen into the faint "claws" of the flowers, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, the sorrow in his eyebrows flashed, and he looked like he had nothing to love, and said helplessly: "This is what I picked at random in the countryside, where will there be any roses and moon seasons!"

Luo Xiao and Luo Yu next to them looked at the two in front of them, and they only felt funny, these two people really didn't stop for a moment.

"It's okay, it's good to have this heart. Hua Youyou said indifferently: "Husband, do you know what the words of the spring flower are?"

Jiang Wangchen also said nonchalantly: "What is it." ”

Hua Youyou smiled and said, "I won't say it now, I'll tell you later......"

"Whatever you want. ”

It was the first time Luo Yu heard the word flower language, and she couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is flower language?"

Hua Youyou put away the flowers, and no longer paid attention to Jiang Wangchendao, and explained to Luoyu: "In the demon ...... I read in a book that every flower has a metaphor, and this meaning is the language of flowers. ”

Talking, talking, the four people who smelled the same sat down again, still talking about wine as they did yesterday, a jar of turbid wine, and a glass of wine in the world. It wasn't until the sunset hung obliquely, and then the full moon hung high, that the spring and autumn were laughed, and then the notes were exchanged when they were dispersed, and they were willing to say goodbye.
