set of flowers

It was midnight, and Yu Hao, who had been lying in bed for a long time and still couldn't fall asleep, sat up, lit the candle, read the article he had written under the teacup again, and then crumpled the toilet paper into a ball in a state of distraught , Throw it into the wastebasket.He walked to the courtyard and looked up at the moon, trying to let the evening breeze calm his restless mood.

Not long after he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard sobbing, which was the cry of a child.

He followed the sound and approached quietly, and walked to the side of the moon cave. The sound was obviously coming from the wall, so he didn't go through the moon cave...

"Shh - don't cry." Hua Feiyue gestured for silence, lowered her voice, and seemed to be crying.

But the other courtyard was too quiet, and her voice could be heard clearly in the quiet night.

"I...I miss Aunt..." Hua Xinghe squatted on the ground, sobbing.

"Don't cry...it won't be good if people hear you...let's go back to the bedroom quickly..." Hua Feiyue tried to pull him up.

Hua Xinghe shook his head, but he was unwilling to move: "Mother, mother... I can't remember her appearance... Have I really forgotten her?"

Hua Feiyue also shed tears immediately, she shook her head: "No, Xing'eryue'er will remember A Niang."

"Why can't we be with A Niang?"

"No," Hua Feiyue still shook his head, "Has Xing'er forgotten? Auntie said she can't support us anymore, Auntie is going to get married...we can't cause trouble for Auntie..."

Hua Xinghe looked at her, finally couldn't restrain his sadness, and was about to cry, Hua Feiyue quickly covered his mouth: "Stupid Xing'er...have you forgotten what mother said? If you don't behave well, we will Being chased away by daddy... when the time comes, we won't be able to go anywhere, when the time comes... we will die."

Hua Xinghe wanted to cry and swallow, but he still couldn't control his sobs. Infected by his younger brother's emotions, Hua Feiyue still couldn't help hugging him and weeping softly together.

"Xing'er grows up... From now on, I can't cry anymore, you know?" Hua Feiyue hugged him and patted his back.

Hua Xinghe nodded, he gritted his teeth, trying to stop the continuous sobs - after all, he couldn't involve his sister being thrown away.

A Niang said that he is a boy and wants to protect his sister.

Under the gradually rising wind, the yushu gradually resounded, the insects sang more and more, and the crying of the two children also subsided.

"Yue'er, I'm cold." Hua Xinghe said after holding his breath.

Hua Feiyue wiped away her tears, raised the corners of her trembling mouth, and said, "Then let's go back...in a low voice, don't disturb Daddy."

Hua Xinghe's throat was choked, so he could only nod.

The twins gradually drifted away, Yu Hao leaned against the wall and froze on the spot, his irritability disappeared, and only pity remained in his heart.

Maybe he should have a good talk with Hua Qianshu... But is it appropriate for him to get involved as an outsider?What's more, he doesn't know Hua Qianshu, even if he doesn't think Hua Qianshu is a villain, but a person who can abandon his wife and not be trusted by his own children may look different in aspects he doesn't know.

Since two precocious toddlers were desperately trying to keep the secret, maybe he shouldn't have done it.

mother, father...

Yu Hao turned his gaze to Mingyue again.

When can he remember what they looked like?

……

In the early morning, Hua Qianyu came to Hua Qianshu's other courtyard, knocked on his door, and dragged Hua Qianshu who was still sleeping from the bed. very?"

"Is Dad concerned about your confinement?" Hua Qianyu asked.

"No," Hua Qianshu felt that his younger brother's question was very strange. "How old am I, how can I teach me a lesson like when I was a child? Or do you want your respected brother to suffer a little?"

Hua Qianyu ignored his nonsense, and only said: "Then Brother Shu fights with me, how about it?"

Hua Qianshu looked at the dim sunlight outside the window, and said, "Are you... full?"

"Brother Shu doesn't want to try my progress in the past six months?"

Hua Qianshu closed her eyes, squinted hard for a while, then opened them again, then pushed away the quilt, stepped on the ground, got up from the bed, and said, "Then, you go to the ring and wait for me first, and I will go there after I wash up."

Hua Qianyu nodded.

Hua Qianshu put his hands on his younger brother's head, and said with a smile, "I've grown a lot taller, so I'll be as tall as me in a while, right?"

"It will be taller than Brother Shu."

Hua Qianshu ignored his brazen words: "Unfortunately, I just came back soon, and you are going to travel far away."

"Dad told you?"

"I've said it - the south is poor. It's been a long time since I've been here. Xiao Yu'er hasn't suffered much since she was a child. It's hard for you."

"Brother Shu can go, why is it difficult for me?"

"I'm different."

"What is the difference."

"I'm going to enjoy myself."

"..."

What Hua Qianshu said was true. He bought mansions in various locations and equipped them with a large number of servants. Without the control of his father and brother, he was free and unrestrained, which is really abominable.

……

On the ring, the two brothers stood at one end, Hua Qianshu put his left hand behind his back, and then hooked four fingers, signaling Hua Qianyu to launch an offensive first.

Hua Qianyu rushed forward, jumped up when he was only two steps away from the opponent, and at the same time raised his foot to the right, and his left knee was ready to lift up and hit Hua Qianshu's head.Hua Qianshu immediately grabbed his calf, and Hua Qianyu used the strength in his hand to turn left and attack with his right leg.Hua Qianshu quickly lowered his waist, and at the same time pushed Hua Qianyu with his hands. The latter rolled over and landed on one knee, supporting the ground with one hand.

"Are you trying to kill me?" Hua Qianshu asked in surprise.

"Don't be serious, how can I beat you——right, brother tree?"

"Bah," Hua Qianshu chuckled, "Although strength is good, but flexibility is not as good as before, so you want to win me?"

"This is just the beginning, you're jumping to conclusions too soon."

Hua Qianyu attacked again, and Hua Qianshu defended again and again, but he had no intention of fighting back. Hua Qianyu just wanted to urge Hua Qianshu to fight back, but Hua Qianshu, who was just in front of him, took two steps to the right behind him, and then Hua Qianshu quickly grabbed his right wrist with his right hand, and swept across his lower body with his left foot.Hua Qianyu, who didn't react in time, couldn't stand still and fell to the ground. Before he could fight back, Hua Qianshu immediately twisted his arm until the tip of his elbow was facing upwards, and at the same time, pressed down with his left hand to subdue him.

Hua Qianshu heard the muffled noise in his younger brother's throat, and knew that he was hurting him, so he immediately let go and asked, "Are you all right?"

Hua Qianyu turned over, turned his shoulder joints, and said, "Come again." There was excitement in his eyes.

Seeing his younger brother's radiant look, Hua Qianshu could only smile helplessly, and continued.

Unknowingly, two hours passed. Seeing that his younger brother had no intention of stopping, Hua Qianshu straightened up the four fingers of his right hand, pushed out his palm, took two steps back, raised his head to the sky and said, "Qianyu, look The sun is already so high, why don't we come back another day?"

Hua Qianyu wiped off the sweat from his chin, and said, "Brother Shu, is this okay?"

"You..." Hua Qianshu shook his head, "Young people are really full of energy, but your elder brother is quite old, so I'm not fit to make a fuss—come here."

He beckoned and said to the servant girl who came running in small steps: "Command me down, I want to take a shower and change my clothes."

"Yes."

Hua Qianyu untied the cloth strips binding his sleeves and said, "Together."

……

Ever since we parted yesterday, Le Yang has been thinking about apologizing to Bai. What's more, he is about to leave Beijing now. Maybe he won't see Bai when he comes back from the south. It will be regrettable in the future. He wants to reconcile with Bai immediately.Siding, he ran to wait under the pavilion of Changxi Courtyard early, but he couldn't see Bai's figure for a long time.

Maybe Bai was hiding from him.

It seemed that Bai was really angry.

Le Yang didn't want to ask others where Bai was, but only thought that he should be more sincere, as long as Bai forgives him, and if he sees him, he will come naturally.

An hour later, Le Yang still couldn't see his figure, thinking that he couldn't delay taking care of the young master, he returned to Huafu before noon, not to mention it was almost lunch time.

Le Yang entered the yard from the back door, and when he walked through the corridor, he noticed that An Mingxi was standing in front of the small pond, with Ah Jiu accompanying him behind him.

Seeing that the two were motionless, Le Yang couldn't help turning his eyes to the scenery in front of them——

A few Chlorophytum grow freely in the cracks of the rockery, broad-leaved vines hang down from the top of the mountain, and several pines and bamboos beside the rockery stand gracefully; a touch of white duckweed blooms on the water surface against the rockery, and the crushed snow-white makeup is beautiful This is a green scene; under the surface of the pool, several koi swim around freely; large and small pebbles are all over the edge of the pool, giving this beautiful landscape a unique frame, which is more poetic.Ling Xiao on the wall opposite the pool also bloomed. The orange-red flowers covered the top of the wall with the green vines, which was unique.

While Le Yang was admiring the familiar scenery, it was more interesting to look at it carefully, he found that An Mingxi's gaze never fell on the landscape, flowers and plants, but he was looking at the sky outside the landscape wall.

The sky was blue with only a few thin clouds floating around.It was almost noon, but the sun was not warm.

This familiar feeling made Le Yang think of Bai.

Does Mr. Huang also want to go out for a walk?

Le Yang shook his head immediately, dispelling his inexplicable thoughts.

He is not white, he is dressed so richly, and the silk and satin are bright in color, it seems that ordinary people can't afford to wear them. How can such a person not go?

Who is he?When did the son have such a friend?Why does he always think Mr. Huang is familiar?

Le Yang turned around and walked away.

——Just ask the young master if you don’t know.

……

Le Yang knocked on the door and called a few more times, but no one responded. He thought that the young master was not in the dormitory, and he was about to leave when he saw Hua Qianyu walking slowly with a folding fan in his hand.

"My lord, this is..." Le Yang was puzzled.

The four big characters "Huo Shu Yin Hua" on the fan, and Hua Qianshu's seal at the corner, all of which clearly indicate that this fan belongs to Hua Qianshu.

Hua Qianyu closed the fan and said, "Brother Shu said he saw me leaving home, so he gave me his personal treasure as an amulet."

"Second Young Master is really kind to Young Master." Le Yang sighed.

Hua Qianyu laughed immediately: "It's a big deal for a fan to be remade by a craftsman, it's not precious."

Le Yang shook his head: "I have feelings for things that have been with me for a long time, and they cannot be replaced by new ones."

Hua Qianyu closed his eyes, opened them again, and said with a gentle smile, "Le Yang cherishes love." He opened the door and entered the bedroom, Le Yang shook his head, and then followed inside.

Hua Qianyu sat on the wooden chair, tapped the table with his index finger and said, "Pour water."

As soon as Le Yang picked up the kettle, he said, "This water is cold, young master drink it first to quench your thirst, and I'll warm it up later." As he spoke, he picked up the water glass upside down on the tray with his free hand , then put the water glass in front of Hua Qianyu and pour water for her.

"It's okay, it's fine if it's cold." Hua Qianyu picked up the water glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Yes."

"Bring the book on the case."

"Yes."

Le Yang, who came back with the book, watched Hua Qianyu slide open the folding fan again, looked at the four characters on the fan and said to himself: "These four characters are indeed more suitable for Brother Shu."

"What is suitable for the young master?" Le Yang asked after handing over the book.

"What do you think?" Hua Qianyu closed the folding fan and pushed it aside.

"Hmm..." Le Yang thought carefully, "God rewards hard work?"

Hua Qianyu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's better than 'Heavenly Way' - if I want to put four characters on this white fan, it will be 'Wanxiang Senluo'."

"Why?"

"Taking the meaning of greatness. Just like my name—'Qian' means grandness in the world, and 'Yu' means grandness in the universe."

"My son's name is naturally a good name."

"I don't care about my name... Forget it, after going out for such a long time, what happened?"

Le Yang shook his head: "Just wait for someone."

"Who?"

"It's the friend I made a few days ago. I did something bad and wanted to ask him to apologize, but I couldn't see anyone when I went to Changxiyuan."

"It's up to you. If you have something to do, you can go and finish it. There are many servants in Huafu, so you don't need to be around."

Le Yang nodded and said, "Then Mr. Huang is His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?"

"Remember?" Hua Qianyu opened the book and found the unfinished part from last night.

Le Yang nodded: "It's half guesswork—how did His Highness come to live in our house?"

Hua Qianyu, who was reading, simply answered: "Because he is going south with us."

Le Yang digested the message, but it didn't cause him much psychological shock, because he didn't think that one more person on this journey would cause any different results.

"The princes are all guarding the palace, are they not allowed to go out?" Le Yang asked.After thinking about it, he shook his head again: "No, His Royal Highness will come to Huafu as a guest."

Hua Qianyu looked up at him: "Why do you ask that?"

"I see the fourth prince... Mr. Huang seems to want to go out for a walk."

Hua Qianyu thought of what Ah Jiu said to him yesterday, but he only said indifferently: "What does it have to do with us, Huafu will not restrict his freedom."

"Does the young master hate him?"

"Why do you say that?"

"On weekdays, the young master doesn't speak so sharply."

"sharp?"

Le Yang nodded.

Hua Qianyu chuckled: "Probably abnormal - I will reflect on it."
