[Comprehensive martial arts] Ancient and modern grocery store

After all, the foundation of the Hua family is still in business, so most of the people who come and go to congratulate are businessmen. Chu Liuxiang and the others are not familiar with these businessmen, so they have been staying peacefully in their small courtyard for the past few days .

Xia Jianqing has been staying in her room recently to prepare handmade music boxes for Huamanlou, so Chu Liuxiang had to reduce the number of times she bothered Boss Xia.

That evening, Chu Liuxiang heard a slight "knocking" sound from the window.

Sighing slightly, Chu Liuxiang stood up and opened the window.

There was a fat pigeon jumping back and forth on the window sill outside the window. The fat pigeon flapped its wings, shook its legs, and blinked its eyes.

Chu Liuxiang sighed again, pulled out the letter paper on the pigeon's leg familiarly, took out a handful of grains and put them on the window sill, closed the window, turned and went back to the room.

This is the fourth letter this month.

Chu Liuxiang looked at the letter paper on the table, and the orange candlelight stood aside, reflecting half of Chu Liuxiang's face.His eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his heart was infinitely entangled.

Rong Rong and the others have been urging him to return to the ship, and it is true that he has not been back for more than half a year, and the previous agreement was canceled due to sudden events.

But Chu Liuxiang always felt that it would not be a good thing to go back now.Although his ship is docked not far away, it probably takes only ten days to go back and forth.

No? But it seems like he should go back and make it all clear.Explain clearly his thoughts and his choices.

Rongrong and the others are family members who have been with him for a long time, and he wants the support of his family.

Not long after dinner, before Chu Liuxiang had time to put away the letter paper, there was a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, it was Lu Xiaofeng who came to the door with a jug of wine.

Lu Xiaofeng bypassed Chu Liuxiang and sat down at the table, squinting, he saw the letter paper on the table.

"Those three girls of yours urged you to go back?"

Chu Liuxiang took out two cups, filled them with wine, and pushed a cup to Lu Xiaofeng.

"Yes, after Huamanlou's birthday banquet, I will go back."

Lu Xiaofeng picked up the wine glass, looked at Chu Liuxiang, who was opposite, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, seeing the excitement was no big deal, and said with a smirk, "Then what should Boss Xia do? Give up now?"

Chu Liuxiang filled the wine again with one hand, poured it into his mouth, and looked up at Lu Xiaofeng: "I said, is there something wrong with you recently? Why are you so concerned about me and Ah Qing?"

Chu Liuxiang seized the opportunity and looked over suspiciously: "Also, did you say something to Ah Qing? Why is he acting like this recently? Strange?"

There was no trace of guilt on Lu Xiaofeng's face, he was justified: "What can I say? Am I not? I am concerned about Xiangshuai's relationship with you?"

Chu Liuxiang snorted coldly: "What do you prefer? You didn't say anything."

Lu Xiaofeng poured a glass of wine for Chu Liuxiang himself, and then returned to the original topic: "What did I ask you? You just gave up? No? Try again?"

Chu Liuxiang sighed: "How can I give up, I can't let go in this life?"

Lu Xiaofeng gasped and shivered, a man in love is really tired of talking.

"Then when will you come back after you go back? No? Afraid of falling short? Don't tell me you didn't see the reason for Boss Xia's strange behavior recently."

Chu Liuxiang's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Is that so? You can see it too? I'm still thinking that I might be wrong..."

Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes: "Anyway, he is also a well-known bandit commander in the world, and he can't even believe his intuition and eyes?"

Chu Liuxiang shook her head inscrutablely: "Don't you? Understand, in love, past experience can be infinitely reduced to zero."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to talk about this topic again, and sighed: "So? So what's the reason why you insist on going back to the boat?"

Chu Liuxiang is now in a state of entanglement, excitement, and impatient regret, and also sighed: "I have to solve the remaining problems on my ship before I dare to confess my love to Ah Qing..."

Lu Xiaofeng was genuinely puzzled: "What? Question?"

At this time, Chu Liuxiang finally calmed down, and infinite melancholy surged in her heart.

The three of Su Rongrong have been with him for too many years, and he regards them as his younger sisters, but in fact, some of their feelings for him have already deteriorated.Perhaps it was the long-term companionship and the help that year that confused their hearts.

In recent years, he has not dared to go back to the boat, and has been wandering around in the rivers and lakes.He also hopes to extend the distance a bit?, so that they can see their true hearts clearly.Don't? You should give up your future because of a man like him.

But now is also the time to distinguish the relationship between each other. Each of them should have their own life.

Of course, Chu Liuxiang would not listen to these words to outsiders, even close friends? These are girls' secrets.

"Nothing? Question, I don't? I'll be back in ten days. In those few days, I'll trouble you and Hua Manlou to spend more time with Ah Qing."

Lu Xiaofeng wanted to come over to find out the situation, but he didn't expect to get such? A piece of bad news.Sighing slightly, Boss Xia didn't seem to choose a good day to express his feelings.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng tentatively asked: "You don't? Take Boss Xia back with you? Don't you? Do you mean that you want to invite Boss Xia on your boat?"

Chu Liuxiang sighed: "Not yet? It's time, wait until later."

Lu Xiaofeng poured another glass of wine for Chu Liuxiang: "Then what do you think? Are you thinking of confessing to Boss Xia after you come back?"

Chu Liuxiang brightened up again in an instant, with a gentle smile on his face: "Yes, at that time I am qualified to be with Boss Xia."

Lu Xiaofeng thought again: "Then how are you going to confess to Boss Xia then? No? Think of some romantic ideas?"

Chu Liuxiang was aroused: "You are right, what do you have? A good idea?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head inscrutablely: "You have to think about this kind of thing yourself, don't you? I can arrange it for you when the time comes."

Chu Liuxiang nodded thoughtfully.

Lu Xiaofeng was carrying the empty jug, and before leaving, he seemed to mention it unintentionally: "By the way, do you know the language of flowers?"

Chu Liuxiang, who is also an ancient person, shook her head in doubt: "What? Flower language?"

Lu Xiaofeng, who only found out about it two days ago, kindly informed: "Every flower has its own meaning. For example, giving tulips to others is to express your love."

……

After Lu Xiaofeng came out from Chu Liuxiang's place, he turned around and walked into Boss Xia's courtyard.

"What is Boss Xia doing?" Lu Xiaofeng poked his head in through the open window, and asked Xia Jianqing who was tidying up his things.After talking about ups and downs, he got in through the window.

Xia Jianqing turned his head and saw the flagon in Lu Xiaofeng's hand, and said clearly, "Just came back from Chu Liuxiang's place?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded twice with a click of his tongue, and sat down on the stool.

"Boss Xia, why don't we wait?"

Xia Jianqing asked in confusion, "Why?"

Lu Xiaofeng felt a little sorry: "Chu Liuxiang will go back to the boat after Huamanlou's birthday banquet. You finished talking the day before, but you can't see it the next day? Doesn't it make you feel uncomfortable when you see people?"

Xia Jianqing was silent, and then said seriously: "But I was afraid that it would be too late? The plan is on that day, isn't it? Isn't it?"

Lu Xiaofeng choked, and carefully revealed: "I think it's a bit of a disadvantage for you to take the initiative to confess." After all, if you wait a few more days, Boss Xia will be able to wait for Chu Liuxiang's confession.Xia Jianqing frowned? Agreed: "How can there be losses in love, and men don't? Should they suffer more?"

Lu Xiaofeng: ...Although it is true, but I always feel something? No? Right?

"And..." Xia Jianqing sighed suddenly, a little hesitant, "Am I really afraid? If I say it earlier, it will be too late."

Lu Xiaofeng put the empty wine jug in his hand on the table, made a "click" sound, and asked in confusion, "How could it be too late? You can say no to him when he comes back?"

Xia Jianqing lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Of course it's different.

Lu Xiaofeng may not know Su Rongrong, but he does.He knew the emotional entanglement between Chu Liuxiang and them.

Isn't it here? It's the original work, but he always thinks of some things and words from the original work.

He and Chu Liuxiang haven't known each other for as long as they did, and their relationship probably isn't as deep as theirs.He had to leave a deep impression on Chu Liuxiang before returning to the ship.Because he is not confident in himself.

He doesn't? Confident that he can compare with these considerate girls, but he is willing to believe in every detail of how he and Chu Liuxiang got along in the past.

He believes that the recent ambiguity between him and Chu Liuxiang is not a moon in the water, so he wants to play tricks.He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and let everything settle after Chu Liuxiang had been with him for more than half a year, when the relationship was strong.

That's why he was so anxious to confess.

Feelings are the last thing you can delay.

Boss Xia, who has been single for 25 years, thinks so.

"So, proceed as planned."

……

As the seventh child of the Hua family, Hua Manlou is very much loved by her parents and elder brother.This can be seen from this birthday banquet.

The Hua family's parents didn't invite too many people, they were all close friends, Hua Manlou's good friends, only three of them came.

The birthday banquet was held in the evening.

That afternoon, Chu Liuxiang went into Xia Jianqing's room.He lay on the table, carefully observed the wooden box in front of him, and carefully reached out to touch the boat on it, feeling uncontrollable jealousy in his heart.

"I think this gift is more suitable for me. Look at this boat, it's almost exactly the same as mine."

Xia Jianqing sat aside and drank tea expressionlessly: "You haven't even invited me to play on your boat, how do I know what your captain looks like?"

Xia Jianqing was still a little unhappy about the fact that Chu Liuxiang didn't bring him back to the ship.

Chu Liuxiang laughed awkwardly when she heard the words, and put the music box back into the exquisitely packaged wooden box.

"Ah Qing, don't be angry, I have something to do when I go back this time, and I will definitely take you back next time."

"When are you coming back?"

"No? If there is an accident, we will return within ten days."

Xia Jianqing, don't you want to mention this matter again: "I heard that you and Lu Xiaofeng found two pots of peonies for Huamanlou?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded: "Lu Xiaofeng found it. He brought it all the way back from Luoyang. He has been sending flowers on Huamanlou's birthday for several years. Almost half of the flowers in Baihualou are sent by him."

Xia Jianqing was a little distracted, he raised his hand to look at the watch in his hand, and said expressionlessly: "Aren't you? Go back and prepare? Tonight's banquet?"

Chu Liuxiang was a little confused by the question: "What am I planning?"

Boss Xia was silent for a while, and suggested: "Go back to sleep and recharge your batteries."

Chu Liuxiang? Willing to go: "I can stay with you, Ah Qing..."

Xia Jianqing? Save a little face, interrupted: "No? Fine, you go, I'm going to take a nap."

Chu Liuxiang: ...Oh.

Xia Jianqing watched Chu Liuxiang's back disappear, then carefully closed the door tightly, and traveled back to the present world.

He ordered a cart of tulips a few days ago, and agreed to let the store deliver them today.

Boss Xia found his mobile phone from the bedside table, quickly charged it up, and called the store.

"Hello, you can deliver it now, just according to the previous address."

……

Before dark, according to the agreed time, Lu Xiaofeng secretly brought a few servants to knock on Xia Jianqing's room.

Boss Xia carefully avoided the flowers and opened the door. The small room was packed full of tulip flower branches.

Lu Xiaofeng took a step back from the smell of the room, and sneezed. He looked at the scene in front of him in shock: "Oh my god, Boss Xia, you made too much of this..."

Xia Jianqing shook his head seriously: "No? Not much, I'll leave these to you."

Lu Xiaofeng patted his chest and said to himself: "Don't worry, I will definitely prepare everything for you properly!"

Xia Jianqing personally helped them pack the bundles and sent them out of the courtyard.

Until now, Xia Jianqing felt a sense of tension in his heart, as light as if he couldn't step on the ground.

……

It wasn't until it was completely dark that Huafu started to get busy.

The guests followed the respectful attendants and were ushered one by one to their seats.

And Chu Liuxiang didn't realize until after he was seated that he was not next to Boss Xia.Looking up, Boss Xia was sitting next to Hua Manlou, but opposite him.

Chu Liuxiang almost lost his breath, and quickly looked to Xia Jianqing's other side, hoping to change seats with that person.

Lu Xiaofeng, who was sitting on the side, hastily pulled back Chu Liuxiang, who was about to get up before sitting down.

"What are you doing?"

Chu Liuxiang felt aggrieved: "Why did Boss Xia sit across from him?"

Of course, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't say that it was for the smooth progress of the plan. He could only hold Chu Liuxiang's arm tightly? Let him move: "Boss Renxia and Huamanlou have a good relationship. I didn't see that Ren and Liutong took the wrong seat back." Have you given it to Boss Xia?"

"Can't I change seats with Liutong?"

Lu Xiaofeng hastily poured a glass of wine for Chu Liuxiang: "You're thinking beautifully, drink quickly, you're wronged by sitting with me?"

Chu Liuxiang was really aggrieved. He was leaving tomorrow, and he would not see him for several days after leaving? Boss Xia, who still disliked him this afternoon, didn't even sit with him at night.

And a few days ago, Boss Xia personally handmade a birthday gift for Hua Manlou.

Chu Liuxiang finished drinking the wine in his hand with a blank expression. He felt that he could change his name. Vinegar Liuxiang sounds nice too.

Hua Manlou turned to look at Xia Jianqing beside him, and said softly, "Still nervous?"

Boss Xia also poured a glass of wine with a blank expression, even his fingers were shaking: "It's okay."

Of course Hua Man Lou is not as bad-hearted as Lu Xiao Feng: "You and Xiang Shuai can have a heart-to-heart bond, that's really the best thing."

Boss Xia smiled slightly, rolled his eyes, took out a wooden box from his cuff, and handed it to Huamanlou.

"Birthday gift, I hope that the seven children will have today every year, and today every year. 【Note】"

Chu Liuxiang on the opposite side was always paying attention to Boss Xia's situation here.Seeing Boss Xia talking happily with the Hua family brothers, he couldn't help but feel sour water in his stomach.

Boss Xia didn't smile so much at him? Have you ever been happy...

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at the opposite side, and felt that it was time, so he quickly tugged at Chu Liuxiang, tricked his gaze, and whispered, "Chu Liuxiang, you have vegetable leaves on your teeth."

Chu Liuxiang:?

"Can I get the leaves on the vegetables just by drinking?"

From the corner of his eye, Lu Xiaofeng saw that there was no one on the other side, so he said confidently, "Oh, I was wrong."

Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows in doubt, turned her head to look at the opposite side, and was startled: "Where is Boss Xia?"

Lu Xiaofeng pretended to be surprised: "It was still there just now."

Chu Liuxiang hurried to the opposite side, and asked Hua Manlou in a low voice, "Qitong, where is Ah Qing?"

Hua Manlou looked at Lu Xiaofeng who was following behind, and said softly, "Boss Xia drank too much, go out to get some fresh air."

Chu Liuxiang turned around and walked out: "I'll go look for him."

The garden of the Hua family is very large, and all the servants are serving in the banquet hall, and it is night, Chu Liuxiang is afraid that Boss Xia will get lost.

Halfway through, Chu Liuxiang turned around in doubt: "Why are you following me?"

Lu Xiaofeng laughed: "I'm also a little bored, so let's get some fresh air."

Chu Liuxiang frowned, don't you think so? Yes: "I said, are you..."

Lu Xiaofeng hastily stretched out his finger to point to the distance: "What do you think is that?"

Chu Liuxiang turned her head and found that she had come to a small garden, and a tiny light leaked from the crack of the door.He hesitated and stretched out his hand to push open the false wooden door. In the large garden, he could have a panoramic view of everything inside.

The flowers and stars all over the ground are like a dream world.

And Xia Jianqing was standing among the flowers all over the floor, looking here.The face is like a crown jade, and the eyes are like bright stars.

The breeze floated up, and the petals on the ground were blown up and down. Chu Liuxiang's nose suddenly worked, and he smelled the familiar smell, which was tulips.

On Xia Jianqing's cold face, there was a warm smile that Chu Liuxiang had never seen before.The light blue hairband that Chu Liuxiang personally tied on him this morning was lifted up by the breeze, and gently brushed over his fair cheeks and red corners of his mouth.

The light blue gauze fluttered with the wind, and Chu Liuxiang felt as if her heart was being brushed by the soft gauze, leaving behind a tingle.

Fragments of starlight fell on the ground in this small space. Under the reflection of the stars all over the floor, Xia Jianqing almost merged with the starlight,

But Chu Liuxiang felt that she was already in the vast sky.

His heart has already floated to the sky, doesn't he? I don't know what night it is.

He finally found his Ah Qing.
