Chapter 31: Lotus Flowers Listen to the Rain

Gu Muhan sent Guo Xiaoyue to bed, he got up and checked whether the window was closed tightly, inserted the latch firmly, and returned to the table to sit down.

The autumn night was cold, and the cool air hit people, and when I saw the woman on the bed, she was already snorting like silk.

Gu Muhan held the knife and took a nap against the table. I don't know how long it took, there was a noise and noise outside the window, he jumped up and looked up: it turned out that the city of Hengcheng was full of red clouds.

A shrill voice came from outside the window:

"Sharpen the scissors, grab the firewood knife! "

"Selling sweet wine glutinous rice cakes..."

This is definitely not an authentic Hengcheng local accent, and the slender tail note is mixed with the local accents of various regions in the south and north of the world.

They left their homes to make ends meet and came to the city to add to the busyness.

The sun sprinkled on the window, Gu Muhan stood up, came to the bedside where Guo Xiaoyue was sleeping, and tapped her nose with his hand.

Guo Xiaoyue slowly opened her eyes and murmured like a bird, "Is it noon?" I'm going to sleep. "

Gu Muhan took away her quilt:

"Get up, go to work. "

Guo Xiaoyue played Lai, turned over, turned her face inward, and slept again.

Gu Muhan had nothing to do, so he suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Godmother, why are you here all the time?" "

Guo Xiaoyue heard Gu Muhan say that her mother was coming, so she hurriedly got up and saw where there was a mother in the house? Only Gu Muhan was there alone, "groaning" and laughing evilly.

She wanted to fall asleep again, but Gu Muhan stopped doing it, stepped forward and picked her up, and threw her directly on the stool next to the table.

At this time, Guo Xiaoyue woke up completely, and in a hurry, she rushed to the bathroom to go to the toilet, and the sound of "Xixi" came from inside. After it was quiet, the people didn't come out for a long time.

Women always have a lot to do, Gu Muhan has no way to take her, open the suitcase, and take out a set of cyan horse coats from inside, although the clothes are not very new, but the color is good, and the clothes are fitting, especially the version Zhou Zheng.

Guo Xiaoyue finally came out of the bathroom, and Gu Muhan went in to shave his face and wash his hair, and tidy up his makeup.

After looking at the mirror for a while, the face of himself inside was handsome, his facial features were upright and exquisite, and his eyes flashed with perseverance.

One part is like a mother, the other part is like a father, delicate and elegant without losing the temperament of fierceness and fortitude.

The slender figure is tall and strong, and in the past, he studied martial arts and practiced boxing in Gufeng Mountain and trained hard to light the body, which made him as hard as iron and hard as steel. He smiled with satisfaction and nodded:

"It's so handsome! "

Guo Xiaoyue came over, the shadows of the two overlapped in the mirror, and each other's eyes showed a caressing light.

In a panic, Guo Xiaoyue was a little incoherent:

"Have you had breakfast? "

Gu Muhan's mind was also not very sober, and he said:

"I didn't, what about you? "

"Let's go, I'm a little hungry. "

"Let's go! "

In order not to attract the attention of outsiders, the two of them went out of the room one after the other, and Gu Muhan, who was walking behind, turned around and closed the door.

"Morning, sir! "

Walking through the snack street, the steamer of the steamed bun shop emits hot steam, and the steamer is full of people buying steamed buns on both sides.

There were long queues on both sides, and those who didn't get the buns waited anxiously with the coins in their hands, and some urged:

"Hostess, hurry up. "

The proprietress hurriedly held the buns for the guests, and when she saw Gu Muhan, she greeted with a smile:

"Boss, do you want to eat steamed buns? "

"I love to eat powder, thank you! "

Guo Xiaoyue rushed to the front regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, threw five taels of silver to the owner of the steamed bun shop, took two buns from the steamer and put them in her mouth and bit them.

The people behind hurriedly coaxed:

"Don't cut in line, don't cut in line. "

The bun was bitten open, and the sugar flowed out of it, Guo Xiaoyue opened her hand very embarrassed to prevent the sugar from flowing to her body.

After the bun is finished, the boss of the bun hasn't given her change, not because she wants to repay the debt, but because she can't find it, the boss and the proprietress are making difficulties, Guo Xiaoyue raised her hand and said:

"Forget it, don't look for it. "

The boss grinned and laughed, no wonder I heard the magpie bird cry as soon as the store opened this morning, it turned out to be the God of Wealth Bodhisattva, five taels of silver is enough for them to sell steamed buns for a few months.

Next to the steamed bun shop, there is a flour shop, and the proprietress is carrying a white iron bucket and is about to go out to pour cinders.

The cinders had just been picked up from the coal stove, and there was still green smoke, and when he saw Gu Muhan passing by, he hurriedly put down the bucket:

"Sir, do you want to eat noodles? Authentic pony noodles. "

The owner of the noodle shop has a kind smile, whether he meets acquaintances or strangers, he always maintains a consistent and affectionate attitude, and at this moment he cooperates with his wife to promote:

"Sir, I'm specialized in making Hengcheng Xi round noodles, come to a bowl of poo? "

Gu Muhan stopped:

"Huh? It is said that Hengcheng Xi round powder was invented by the Tang Dynasty horse Chai Shao, the craftsmanship is fine, all by knife cutting, for this layer of historical origin, give me a bowl. "

The proprietress cinders didn't fall, so she hurriedly put down the bucket and came back to give her man a hand.

It seems that it is not easy for people who work hard for their livelihood to be busy!

After breakfast, the two returned to the inn where they were temporarily staying.

Let's go to the new area of Hengcheng South Street to find a place called "Lotus Listening to the Rain", and connect with the inner ying latent here, and solve the problem of Chinese food there by the way.

Chengnan Street is easy to find, and there is a huge archway sign in Chengnan New District, so it is not difficult to find it. "Lotus Listening to the Rain" is not so easy to find. I rummaged through the alleys of Chengnan Street, large and small, and searched almost all the shops, but I didn't see a shop sign with the words "lotus flowers listening to the rain". The two of them were deflated, preparing to return the same way, find a restaurant to rest, and come back after lunch.

Suddenly, around the corner, in an inconspicuous corner, there was a heavy shouting from an unlicensed shop, and a fellow shouted:

"Lotus listens to the rain, Miss Lotus listens to the rain and the masterpieces are freshly listed, ten taels of silver. "

Gu Muhan stepped forward, looked at the guy carefully, and was taken aback: Isn't this cousin isolating the people?

Gu Muhan's uncle Gu Dadao, his cousin isolated the people, and the second brother isolated army are all people from Li Zicheng's army. Gu Dadao is a battalion commander of the pro-guard battalion, and the isolated people are in the army team, specializing in enemy special work and carrying out hidden tasks, but it is a pity that the second brother is killed by the people instructed by Zhu Jiabi in an incident.

"Man, bring me a lotus flower that has just come out of the water, petals with dewdrops, red buds and blue leaves, and the colors are contrasting. "

Isolated people were stunned for a moment, looking Gu Muhan up and down, in fact, he had already recognized his cousin, but because there were outsiders next to him, it was difficult for them to recognize each other.

"Sir, what you want needs to be handled by our teacher himself, please move and follow me into the house. "

It turned out to be a calligraphy and painting shop, dilapidated and simple on the outside, and exquisite and elegant on the inside.

Although the store is small and the location is inconspicuous, there is a lot of customer traffic.

A large hall had eight long tables on which students were seated drawing, and in front of which there was a chair, which was empty and no one was sitting.

Walk through the hall to the back porch and over an arched bridge with a murmuring water and a pond full of lotuses.

Due to the different regional temperature differences and temperaments, the lotus flowers in Hengcheng bloom in September every year and continue until the end of autumn.

The lotus flowers bloom naturally in the morning and close at noon, and then bloom again the next day, lasting for three to four days.

Originally, the best time to see lotus flowers is between 7 and 9 o'clock every day, when the lotus flowers bloom most beautifully.

However, today, perhaps the flowers will also be able to greet the most distinguished guests with the best attitude, and the pond lotus flowers are particularly beautiful!

Get off the arch bridge and come to an elegant and quiet residence, and the door plaque is carved with three characters: Listen to Yuxuan!

The isolated people knocked on the door, and a crisp woman's voice came from inside:

"Please enter:"

Pushing the door and walking into Tingyuxuan, the heat hit the face, the tulips were in the nose, and a beautiful woman with her back to the door.

Lonely Muhan reported the joint code:

"A lotus flower that has just come out of the water, petals with dewdrops, red buds and blue leaves, the colors are contrasting. "

The other party didn't look back, and replied with a code word:

"I'll publish your beautiful essay on the 17K platform, so that you can become a god as soon as possible. "

What a familiar sound! Gu Muhan was too familiar with this voice, they had the joy of water melting, and each other's lives flowed with beautiful notes.

"Your Excellency is..."

When she turned around, everyone including Guo Xiaoyue was dumbfounded.

"Xiaoya?! "
