son sick

Even what Qing Ren said was true.

It's just that the death of the watchman was not as strange as he said.

That person just woke up in the morning and choked on drinking water.

It's just that he didn't expect that he choked so much that he lost his life, it was really unlucky.

However, the rumors of Peony Pavilion became even more bizarre because of his death.

Because no one knew whether the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood he saw that night was real or not.

Afterwards, it was a bumpy road, and it was almost dusk when they arrived at Ningyan City.

Peony Pavilion is located on the west side of Ningyan City. The carriage passed through the city gate and drove straight to that place.

The air was a little stuffy, and the sky was getting darker.

It looked like it was going to rain.

Lian Meng was a little surprised when the carriage finally stopped.

They got out of the car one after another, and then saw six or seven women in yellow shirts coming out of the red door.

The leader should be someone in charge, wearing gold and silver, looks very rich.Although the women following her were not as beautiful as her, they were all pretty.

Lian Meng was a little puzzled, thinking how a maid could dress so luxuriously, when the girl who took the lead came up to meet her.

"Master Qi, you are finally here."

Qi Nian nodded politely, and Ling Yin clasped his hands in return: "The road was bumpy, so there was a delay."

"Doctor Ling, you are welcome. Our Pavilion Master is already waiting for you at the Huxin Terrace."

"it is good."

Then they led the four of them into the gate together, leaving one of them to settle down in the stable with Dashou.

Qi Nian seemed to be a little familiar with them, and after entering the inner courtyard, he heard the girl with gold and silver jewelry chatting with him.

"Master Qi, is your illness better?"

"With Miss Lao Xinyun's concern, it's already much better."

Qi Nian had a gentle attitude, with a smile on his brow.It's just that Ling Yin gave him a meaningful look, as if he had some objections.

Fortunately, the girl named Xin Yun didn't ask any further questions, and continued following his words: "That's right, thanks to Ling Yin's doctor and genius doctor, this kind of illness must be nothing to worry about."

"Miss Xinyun is overwhelmed." Ling Yin said politely, "It's the girl who has taken care of this huge pavilion so well, which is really amazing."

"Doctor Ling has won the prize."

They praised each other back and forth like this, and finally someone asked about Lian Meng and Lian Qingren.

"By the way, who are these two young heroes?"

Lian Meng was afraid that Qi Nian would say something "scary" again, so he gave him a worried look.But that Young Master Qi didn't say anything out of line, he just responded with a smile: "It's a friend I made on the road."

Lian Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the group of them finally reached the edge of the lake center platform, from where they could already see the whole picture of the pavilions.

It's just that Lian Menghe didn't expect that the cloth workshop called Peony Pavilion was such a magnificent place.

The pavilion was built near the water, with a mirror-like small lake in the center, and a platform in the middle of the lake, leading directly to it by a path.

And its main building is about six stories high, with carved railings and jade masonry, cornices and ridges, green tiles and flying scorpions, which are extremely luxurious.

There are scarlet and golden silks and satins tied between the beams and tiles, and dark golden copper bells are hung on the eaves. When the wind blows, the bells jingle.

This pavilion is not like a cloth shop but like a karaoke shop, but it is much more luxurious than a real wine shop.

Speaking of it, although he has seen the spaciousness and magnificence of Qile Mountain Villa before, he still feels that it is much different from this dazzling peony pavilion.

Lian Meng was dumbfounded, at this moment Lian Qingren bumped his arm with his hand and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, look."

"Huh?" Lian Meng raised his head, and he looked in the direction Lian Qingren pointed, but his eyes were full of beautiful peonies.

The peonies in the pavilion are full of courtyards, which are divided into small paths, each stretching out, as if there is no end.

Among the flowers stood some young girls in Luo Yi. Although they looked beautiful, they were all covered in heavy make-up and gorgeously dressed.

In addition to the rich fragrance of flowers, the fragrance of gouache is also very seductive, as if someone's rouge was knocked over and spread all over the floor.

This scene is inexplicably weird.

Lian Meng was even more puzzled when he looked at the patch of peonies.

It is the beginning of spring now, which is not the season for peonies to bloom, so this grand sight is illogical.

Just as he was thinking, a group of people had already reached the center of the building.

There are still large pieces of peonies on the platform in the middle of the lake, and from a distance, you can smell a strong fragrance mixed with the smell of powder.

On the stage where the flowers are full of flowers, stood seven or eight purple-clothed maids holding lupines.

They were seated around a well-dressed man.

But under the cover of the feather fan, Lian Meng couldn't see the person's face clearly, let alone tell whether it was a man or a woman.

At this time, the breeze suddenly picked up, and the copper bell on the eaves rang softly.

In the soft sound, someone suddenly called out: "Master Qi."

It was a nice male voice, slightly deep but not hoarse.

Following the sound, the person behind the feather fan also stood up.

But even so, Lian Meng still couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Because his face was smeared with extremely thick makeup, the heavy makeup seemed to put a weird mask on him.

Therefore, he only saw that the man was wearing a scarlet coat.The clothes were embroidered with peony patterns with gold thread, although he was gorgeous and beautiful, but his figure was extremely thin, and the sleeves of the coat were wide, it seemed that he didn't fit well.

Speaking of which, Lian Meng had never seen such a thin person.

Although the man's collarbone was clearly beautiful, the skin exposed between the neck was terribly pale; the only fingers visible behind the sleeves were even thinner; his waist was not only slender, but narrow to an unimaginable degree.

Lian Meng couldn't think of how to describe the person in front of him.

Because he always felt that that person didn't look like a human being. At first glance, he vaguely looked like... a white bone wrapped in peonies.

Lian Meng felt a chill behind his back, but the three people around him also had different expressions.

Ling Yin looked at the peonies in the garden with a playful expression; and even Qing Ren kept frowning at the man in the lake center platform, seeming to feel strange; but the young master Qi was not at all uncomfortable, he looked at the man with a smile, his expression Leisurely and natural.

However, Lian Meng always felt that Qi Nian was not looking at the person walking towards him, and his attention seemed to be on his gorgeous red dress.

Just as he was thinking, Qi Nian suddenly took a step forward, and he walked slowly towards the platform in the lake.

Seeing this, Ling Yin hurriedly followed, and even Meng He and Qing Ren had no choice but to go forward together.

The maids who had followed them before divided into two teams, accompanied them on both sides, and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion together.

After a few steps, Qi Nian stopped in front of the man and greeted him with a smile.

"Boss Xiang, long time no see."

The man called Boss Xiang didn't speak.

But when he got closer, Lian Meng could finally see the man's face more clearly.

Although the makeup on his face was too thick, he still couldn't tell his face, but the white skin and red lips made him look more like a ghost than a mortal.

And the closer you get, the more intense the memory becomes.

Lian Meng didn't feel very well. He was about to exercise his skills and hold his breath when suddenly there was a loud noise beside him...

The strange person in front of him suddenly turned into powder and dissipated.

"This……!"

Lian Meng was startled, he covered his mouth and nose, his right hand already touched the hidden weapon in his waist.

But after a burst of smoke, a piece of delicate cloth suddenly flew down in front of him.

"Are you satisfied with this material?"

A melodious male voice came from a high place, Lian Mengxun looked up, and when he looked up, he saw a man in brocade clothes standing on a tall building.

The distance was too far to see the man's face clearly, only his slender figure could be seen.He was wearing a gorgeous long garment, which was woven with gold thread and silver thread, and it was adorned with countless jewels.

Hearing the sound, Qi Nian set his sights on the vermilion brocade.

Xin Yun winked at the maid beside him, and the group of people reunited into a row, tidied up a bit, and held the cloth over with both hands.

The fabric is indeed exquisite in workmanship, with complicated and delicate patterns, and the peony on it is even more lifelike, as if it can attract white butterflies.

Qi Nian glanced at it casually, then nodded, signaling Ling Yin to accept it.

Then he raised his head again and looked towards the high place: "Since it was made by Boss Xiang, it must be extremely exquisite, so how can I be picky?"

"I just like someone who can talk like you." The man leaned on the railing and smiled cheerfully.

"It's just that the color is too bright, I'm afraid it can only be used as a wedding dress."

"Then make it into a wedding dress, and it's okay to take it away when the time comes."

"..." Qi Nian smiled and did not answer, he glanced at Lian Meng sideways, and the smile between his brows deepened.

Lian Meng was speechless, thinking that the young master fell ill again.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the "Boss Xiang" seemed to have no intention of going downstairs.

Lian Meng didn't know how long they were going to be courteous, and with the annoying fragrance of the flowers, he felt a little annoyed.

Fortunately, as soon as he became impatient, Qi Nian said to the fragrant boss: "Let's stop here. I'm too tired today."

"No more trouble. I have prepared a banquet to welcome you."

"If it rains at night, the dinner party will be unnecessary."

Boss Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded as if suddenly realizing: "That's good. I'll withdraw the banquet and eat something at night, and I'll clean up for you tomorrow."

"Alright."

Lian Meng was surprised, he never thought that this person would accept all of Qi Nian's words without doubting a single word.Although the weather does look bad, he said that if it rains, it will rain?

Just as he was thinking, Lian Qingren bumped his arm with his hand again.

"Brother Lian Meng..."

"what happened?"

Lian Qingren looked around cautiously, then lowered his voice and said, "Senior brother, don't you think the scent of flowers here is a bit deliberate?"

Lian Meng raised his eyebrows and nodded thoughtfully: "I think so too."

"Tell me, is this trying to cover up something?"

"breath?"

"Well. For example..."

"Body odor?" Lian Meng had a flash of inspiration.

"..." Lian Qingren looked at him with an extremely complicated expression on his face.

"Isn't it?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Lian Meng asked again.

But no matter how much he talks, his good junior doesn't want to talk to him anymore.
