Another month has passed in the blink of an eye, but the "big event" mentioned by Xu Yun has not happened for a long time. Although there are more and more frictions between the beggars and Wan Yingtang in the area www.biquge.info of the Daimyo's Mansion, it has never turned into a large-scale fight. After all, Song Lai still had to compete with Zou for the position of gang leader, and he didn't want to consume his strength, so the feud between Li Er and Li San could only be put aside for the time being.

For Washington, two major events have happened in this month: the first major event is that Hua Changwen, who was away from home, has rushed back to Hua Qian when he learned of the change at home. However, he did not obey Hua Qian's arrangement and moved to live in a house in the city, but chose to live in Washington outside the city with Hua Qian and Hua Changwu. Hua Qian had no choice but to discuss with the two brothers, and decided to temporarily seal the mansion in the city, and sell it when he found a suitable family. However, it doesn't hurt for Hua Changwen to stay and live, at least, there is one more person who accompanies Hua Qian to practice King Wen's drunken dream step every day.

Another major event came from the Khitan Kingdom in the north. Xia Jingren sent someone to send news that the martial arts competition organized by Yelu Longqing in Khitan Nanjing City had ended, and the person who won the championship was Xu Yun's third junior brother, Long Yiwen. Now, Xia Jingren and several other family members are taking Long Yiwen on the way back to the Daimyo's Mansion. When Xu Yun learned of this, he was overjoyed, and he was anxious to meet his junior brother, so he took the Mao mouse and followed the messenger to the north along the main road, left the Daimyo's Mansion, and went to meet Xia Jingren and Long Yiwen.

On this day, it is Qingming. Early in the morning, Hua Qian took Hua Changwu and Hua Changwen to the mountain to sweep the tomb and worship the ancestors. When Hua Changwen saw the tombstones of his father Hua Yongfu and eldest brother Hua Changlin, he couldn't help but feel sad and couldn't stop hiding his face and crying. Hua Qian saw his younger brother crying sadly, thinking of the hardships of working day and night for the Hua family after several elders in the family passed away one after another, and he couldn't help but shed a few tears.

However, Hua Qian knew that as the head of the famous Hua family, he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and at this time, anyone could cry, but he couldn't, so he wiped away his tears, looked at the tombstone of Hua Taigong, and forced out a smile. He stepped forward and comforted Hua Changwen a few words, then turned his head again to see how Hua Changwu was doing.

I don't want that Hua Changwu to stand aside with his hands folded, and he closed his eyes and recited the scriptures silently with his face expressionless. When Hua Qian saw it, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said in his heart: "It seems that the second uncle's worries before his death are not unreasonable, this Changwu has been back from Qingliang Temple for more than a month, and he is still wearing a monk's robe with a bare head all day long, and he is dressed like a monk." He is a vegetarian and doesn't eat meat at all, and the worst thing is that he doesn't drink a drop of alcohol! Alas, if the second uncle is still alive, he will probably be angry to death when he sees his baby son. ”

After the festival was completed, the three brothers went down the mountain, wandered around at will, and enjoyed the spring. After a short time, the three brothers had already walked to the dilapidated ancestral hall outside the city. Hua Qian looked at the ancestral hall and thought that he had collected firewood for Wu Chengfang here to make a fire, and his heart suddenly became melancholy: "I haven't seen her since that day, she should still be in Yishui Pavilion now." Alas, I have asked Miss Su about her many times, but I am embarrassed to ask too much, I am a big man who always goes to inquire about the girl's family, after all, it is not good. But ......"

Hua Qian remembered that night, Wu Chengfang's flashing smile, and couldn't help but stop.

"Well, why don't you leave?" Hua Changwen asked curiously when he saw Hua Qian stop suddenly.

"I ...... I just thought of a person who might pay for our house in the city. You two go home first, I'll go back as soon as I go!" Hua Qian said, and ran away alone.

"What should I do, do you want to follow?" Hua Changwen looked at Hua Qian, who was running farther and farther, and asked Hua Chang Wudao.

"Big Brother Quan said that the people of Wan Yingtang want to harm the life of Brother Changcai, so let's be on guard at all times, so I think we should follow and take a look. "Hua Chang Martial Arts.

Hua Changwen said with a smile: "If Brother Qian shows King Wen's drunken dream, even if you, me, and Big Brother Quan join forces, they won't hurt a single hair of his hair." How powerful can the people of Wan Yingtang be compared to the three of us joining forces?"

"I don't care, I can't let him run outside alone anyway. Hua Changwu shook his head, took a few steps forward, and then turned back and said, "I'm going to follow, are you coming?"

Hua Changwen raised his eyebrows and said, "Come, of course you have to come." It's best to meet that Gongsun Liangbi later, I'm going to kill him with my own hands and avenge my father!"

"Amitabha, Changwen, I think the same way as you. Hua Changwu whispered, flicking his monk's robe, and wanted to step after Hua Qian.

Unexpectedly, Hua Changwen grabbed Hua Changwu's arm and said, "Brother Changwu, slow down." Hua Changwu looked back at Hua Changwen suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Hua Changwen said: "Let's follow quietly and don't let Brother Qian find out." ”

When Hua Changwu heard this, the second monk was even more puzzled: "Why?"

Hua Changwen smiled and said, "You think, if Brother Qian really wants to find someone to talk about selling the house, what's the point of taking the two of us there, why do you want to leave us behind? If you follow him with a big grin, maybe he won't go to that person. Don't you wonder who he's going to see?"

Hua Changwu felt reasonable, and nodded again and again: "Mmmmmm, listening to you say this, I feel that Brother Changcai is really a little wrong, so let's follow behind quietly?" Hua Changwen said: "Well, then let's go, don't find him for a while." But let's not keep up too closely. ”

Hua Changwu clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, yes, yes, haha, interesting, really interesting." ”

The two followed Hua Qian all the way into the Daimyo's Mansion City, only to see him slipping into the Yishui Pavilion in the city, and then stopped at the street corner.

"Tut, I didn't expect that Brother Qian looks quite honest on weekdays, and he would come to this kind of place. Hua Changwen looked at the big signboard of Yishui Pavilion and couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

Hua Changwu has been studying art in Wutai Mountain since he was a child, and he doesn't know much about the Daimyo's Mansion, and after listening to Hua Changwen's words, he was puzzled: "What's the matter, is there anything wrong with this place?" Hua Changwen said: "This place, there is no problem, but it shouldn't be a place where Brother Qian will come often." This Yishui Pavilion is a place to drink flower wine. ”

"Amitabha, sin, sin. When Hua Changwu heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

Hua Changwen looked around and saw that there was a small wine shop diagonally opposite Yishui Pavilion, so he said: "Alas, Brother Changwu, since Brother Qian is going to drink flower wine, then let's not wait here, how about a drink?"

Hua Changwu clasped his hands together and said, "No, Master has taught you not to drink." ”

Hua Changwen looked at Hua Changwu's appearance and said impatiently: "Oh, you're just a lay disciple, and you're not really a monk, what's the point of drinking some wine?"

Hua Changwu closed his eyes and said: "No, Master has taught me that since I am a disciple of Qingliang Temple, even if I am not a monk, I should abide by the precepts and not break the rules." ”

"Then Gongsun Liangbi is here, will you kill it?" Hua Changwen rolled his eyes, and then asked.

"Kill!" Hua Changwu heard Hua Changwen mention Gongsun Liangbi, and immediately widened his eyes.

Hua Changwen said disdainfully: "Hey, the answer is quite crisp, isn't killing someone a broken ring?"

Hua Changwu closed his eyes again and said: "Gongsun Liangbi has harmed my father, your father, and Changlin, how can I spare him? ”

Hua Changwen waved his hand and said, "You have it, you are reasonable, I can't talk about you." Won't you drink the wine?"

"Don't drink. Hua Changwu still had his eyes closed.

"Do you want to eat the steamed beans and salted tofu?" Hua Changwen said as he snickered.

Hua Changwu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "If you want to eat, if you can have two more white flour steamed buns, it will be even better." ”

Hua Changwen laughed out loud and said to Hua Changwu: "There are steamed buns too, come with me, I'll drink my wine, and you eat your vegetarian." ”

Although Hua Changwu was moved, he looked at Yi Shui Pavilion and couldn't help but hesitate: "Why don't we guard here, what if Brother Changcai comes out in a while and walks away?"

"You don't have to worry about that. Hua Changwen pointed to the wine shop and said, "Let's sit next to the door of the wine shop, facing the gate of Yishui Pavilion, if Brother Qian comes out, we will see it at a glance." ”

"Good. Hua Changwu smiled, and followed Hua Changwen into the wine shop.

Not to mention that the two brothers went to the wine shop to take a break, but said that in the Yishui Pavilion, Hua Qian sat at the empty table and waited for a long time before a graceful woman came over and greeted: "What does the son want to play?"

Hua Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the woman with a red face and said, "I'...... I don't want to play...... What to do. That one...... Are you Wu treasurers here?" and somehow, he suddenly stammered as he spoke.

The graceful woman covered her mouth and smiled: "Our shopkeeper is here, but our martial shopkeeper never accompanies guests, so the son should change someone, what do you think of the slave family?"

Hua Qian hurriedly stood up, scratched his head and said, "No, aunt...... Girl, don't go around in circles, I get dizzy, dizzy. You...... That one...... You misunderstood, I have something to do with your shopkeeper, something to find your shopkeeper, hehe. ”

"Oh, there's something going on with the shopkeeper. The graceful woman stopped dancing and said, "Dare to ask your son's surname?"

"My surname is Hua, and I am a friend of your martial arts shopkeeper. When Hua Qian said the word "friend", he couldn't help but feel a little weak, sat down in fear, and thought secretly: "I don't know if she treats me as a friend?"

The graceful woman smiled: "Okay, then Hua Gongzi will wait for the time being, and I will go up and report it." ”

Hua Qian looked at the back of the woman leaving and said, "Thank you girl." ”

"Today's Yishui Pavilion is too deserted, there are no guests, is this still the Yishui Pavilion I know?" Hua Qian looked around and saw that there were two or three tables sitting in the lobby, which was not the same as the lively scene in the past, and he couldn't help but wonder.

"I also said which friend surnamed Hua came, it turned out to be you, what, when did the two of us become friends?" Suddenly, an emotionless word came down from the second floor. As soon as Hua Qian heard the cold voice, he knew that it was Wu Chengfang who came out, and his heart became inexplicably nervous, and his palms began to sweat outward.

"Wu ...... Wu Shopkeeper!" Hua Qian stood up and said hello to Wu Chengfang, who was coming down the stairs, and didn't know what to say, so he had to touch the back of his head, hehehe

"What are you doing here, I don't seem to have invited you to come, right?" Wu Chengfang walked over quickly, still dressed as a man. She saw that Hua Qian was sweating profusely, so she lifted the teapot and poured him a cup of tea.

Hua Qian trotted all the way over, his mouth was already dry, and when he saw the tea, he drank it in one gulp: "Ah, it's delicious." Why are you so deserted here?"

Wu Chengfang shook his head, and seeing that Hua Qian seemed to be very thirsty, he poured him another cup of tea, sat down and said, "Hmph, since the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, Yishui Pavilion has been like this." Those high-ranking officials and nobles all value their lives as valuable, and they don't dare to come for fear of encountering any more brawls and hurting themselves. Well, tell me, what are you looking for me?"

"I, I'm going to talk to you about something. Hua Qian touched his head and said in a panic.

Wu Chengfang glanced at Hua Qian: "Aren't you talking nonsense, can you still be idle and have nothing to do, and come all the way here to see me?"

Hua Qian sat opposite Wu Chengfang, his eyes did not leave her pair of water-cut eyes for a moment, he only felt that the more she looked at this woman, the more she looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more she looked at it, so she didn't say a word, but secretly said in her heart: "You are right, I came all the way over, not for anything else, just to be able to take a look at you." ”

Wu Chengfang was furious when Hua Qian saw it, and said angrily: "This idiot!" She saw that he didn't speak for a long time, so she got up and said, "If you have nothing to do, I'll go back to the house and rest." ”

Hua Qian saw that Wu Chengfang was leaving, and hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, I have something, something." ”

Wu Chengfang flipped the white smoke at Hua Qian, sat down again, and said sharply: "If you have something, say it quickly! Mother-in-law and mother-in-law, it's not happy at all!"

Hua Qian kept fiddling with the teacup in front of him, and said with a smile: "You know, our Hua family has a house in the city, which was originally where my third uncle lived. My third uncle ...... This one...... It's gone, and then no one wants to live in the city, so I think about selling the house, I don't know if you're interested? ”

"Don't buy it. Wu Chengfang said categorically.

"Why?" Hua Qian felt a little incredible, "My house is very good, I still feel a little distressed when I sell it!"

"What should I buy it for?"

"What kind of mess, where have people died? My third uncle was killed by Wan Yingtang's people in Cangzhou!"

"Oh, how about a tael of silver?"

"One or two pieces of silver, shopkeeper Wu is laughing, why don't you let me give it to you for nothing?"

"Okay, if you're willing to give it to me for free, I'm okay with that. ”

"One tael of silver is too little, and it is not enough to send away flowers. ”

"Yo ho, Hua Gongzi is really rich, and he sent Huazi to give so much silver, and we ordinary people can only give a few copper plates. ”

"I ...... That was not what I meant. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"I ...... I mean...... The price of the tael of silver you opened is too small, I can't sell it!"

Wu Chengfang sneered: "You just said it yourself, I can pay as much as I want, I will say one or two silver now, and you are unwilling to sell it, you really don't talk about credit at all." ”

Hua Qian saw that Wu Chengfang's words were thorny, and couldn't help but sigh: "Can we still talk about this deal?"

"Yes, why can't it?" Wu Chengfang glanced at Hua Qian again, and then turned his face away from him.

Hua Qian saw that Wu Chengfang was angry for no reason, and he was even more frightened: "Wu ...... Shopkeeper Wu, what's wrong with you, where did I provoke you?"

Wu Chengfang snorted coldly, looking at the protruding stage on the second floor, but he didn't care about Hua Qian.

Hua Qian touched his round face, thinking carefully about which words he had offended this cold-faced beauty. But no matter how he thought about it, he still couldn't understand it, so he followed Wu Chengfang's gaze to the second floor.

Suddenly, he suddenly realized: "Are you complaining that I took in Quan Chengkong and Miss Su?"

Wu Chengfang glanced at Hua Qian: "Hmph, whether you take them in or not is my business." ”

Hua Qian looked at the look on Wu Chengfang's face, knowing that he had guessed correctly, so he laughed hehe: "You won't still be angry with them, right? Actually, I don't think you really need to-"

"Shut up, you don't have to worry about my business!" Wu Chengfang slapped the table and shouted.

Hua Qian took a sip of tea and said slowly, "What...... Why is it your business? The two of them are from my house now, so this matter has something to do with me!"

Wu Chengfang rolled his eyes and said, "I can't care about the people in your mansion......?" The person who has the flower in the mirror, you are still the leader of the flower in the mirror. But Miss Su, she has already left your mirror, and she can't be counted as your person. ”

"Yo, you know quite a lot, what else did she say to you? Did she tell you that if you enter the mirror flower one day, you will have to work hard for the mirror flower for the rest of your life? As long as I, the leader, don't nod, she is still the person who spends her head in the mirror!" Wu Chengfang's face was full of displeasure.

"But she has already defected to me, how can she still be regarded as a flower in the mirror?" Hua Qian looked dazed.

Wu Chengfangyuan opened his apricot eyes and said: "It seems that I have to talk to our Hua Gongzi about this rule of the rivers and lakes." Su Qiaoqiao should be regarded as a traitor to the flower in our mirror. As for you, the traitor who took in our Flower in the Mirror, so you are now the opponent of the Flower in the Mirror, and I can let you sit in my Yishui Pavilion and pour you two cups of tea, which is already very polite. ”

"That's right. Hua Qian laughed shyly, "The rules on the rivers and lakes are quite a lot! However, this rule is unreasonable for him! Miss Su is not happy with you, and she wants to live in a different place, why do you have to get your consent? Obviously, I can say to you, 'I'm leaving, I won't follow you in the future.'" 'Just let you know there's this.' If you don't agree, she will become a traitor, and this is too unreasonable! If you follow the rules you said, then wouldn't everyone be able to do whatever they wanted, and where else would there be rivers and lakes!"

Wu Chengfang looked at Hua Qian in surprise and said: "Who said that the rivers and lakes are a place where you can do whatever you want? The rivers and lakes have their own rules, where can you change them at will? You say that this rule is unreasonable, ridiculous, for thousands of years, those who have been begging for a living in the rivers and lakes have done things according to this rule, how can there be a mistake?"

Hua Qian scratched his head and said, "This, everyone does this, and it doesn't necessarily mean that this rule is reasonable, maybe everyone is wrong?"

Wu Chengfang was helpless, feeling that he couldn't continue to fight with Hua Qian, so he said: "Nonsense, I don't want to talk to you, I really don't know what you've been thinking about all day." ”

"The shopkeeper, there was a letter from a friend who said it was from you. A woman walked over with a letter in her hand and said to Wu Chengfang.

"It's really strange, why did so many 'friends' suddenly come to me today?" Wu Chengfang took the message.

"Don't be busy reading the letter first, let me ask you, do you still want to buy my house?" Hua Qian asked with a smile.

"I'm so annoyed, I'll talk about it after I finish reading the letter!" Wu Chengfang reprimanded.

"Good, good. Hua Qian said dejectedly.

I didn't want Wu Chengfang to take out the letter paper and only look at it a few times, then his face changed greatly, slapped the letter on the table, and jumped out of Yishui Pavilion.

"What's wrong?" Hua Qian saw that Wu Chengfang suddenly went out, and his heart was not good, so he picked up the letter on the table and read it.

"Ah, it's not good, Wu Shopkeeper, you, you wait for me!" Hua Qian shouted, pinched the letter, and chased it out in a hurry.
