Dinner was eaten together by everyone, but Zhang's mother had the kitchen prepare the food separately and bring it to a small room, mainly to discuss how Zhanchen Tower planned to develop in the future.
There's nothing they can do about fighting and killing all day long and neglecting their duties. Now the emperor is summoning them more and more often, and it's becoming increasingly difficult for them to refuse.
Huo Xiaolong and Jiang Tianxin were miles apart, sitting diagonally opposite each other. The little dumpling's eyes still gleamed with fighting spirit, but after being glared at by her mother, she pouted and sat back down to eat properly.
The group stayed until the end of the martial arts tournament. Madam Ye saw everyone off at the door, and the father and son from Shuanghua Palace were carried out of the gate of Biluo Manor.
Huo Xiaolong sat with his girlfriends at the door, muttering to himself...
"If you can't handle the game, why are you even in the underworld? What kind of petty thug is afraid of dying? A petty thug who's afraid of dying will never become a big boss. No wonder her husband, her son, and her grandson are all useless."
“She can’t do it herself either,” Hou Xiangxiang chimed in from the side.
"right."
Before parting, Jiang Tianxin stared at Huo Xiaolong for a long while, then sidled up to her and apologized.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to talk about your sister. Now I know why, and I won't say it again."
The little dumpling was stubborn but soft-hearted. She pouted at the girl who was about the same age as the older girl and said...
"You've already kowtowed to my sister, so this matter is over. Come visit me in the border town sometime."
"Um."
Jiang Tianxin took a book out of her bag and said
"This is what my mother put in my bag when our house was searched. My brother and I both have it. You can have mine."
The book was as thick as the little girl's, and it looked quite heavy. The little girl needed two hands to hold it. Huo Xiaolong was a little embarrassed to accept it, after all, it was the only keepsake left to her by her parents.
The little dumpling waved its hand and said
"I don't want it. It's what your parents left you. You can keep it."
Jiang Tianxin did not accept Huo Xiaolong's rebuttal and shoved the book into her hands.
The tyrant of the red-light district never owed anyone a favor. He took out a ginseng pill from his pocket and handed it to her.
"This medicine is very good. As long as the patient hasn't died, they can probably be saved. If anything happens, just give it to them and then come to Pingyang County. My sister is a very skilled doctor. If she can't cure a disease, she can call someone else to come."
"Thank you," the little girl said to Huo Xiaolong.
"Go back and practice your martial arts properly. We'll fight again next time." It was the first time the little dumpling had seen someone so resilient without drinking the spiritual spring water, and she actually had a pretty good impression of her.
Jiang Tianxin grinned and said
"You just want to hit me!"
"No! I just think you're tough enough to take a beating!"
"Next time, I promise I won't let you pin me to the ground and beat me!"
"Pinky promise!"
The morning sunlight shone on the two children who had made a pact, casting long shadows. Liu Xiaohua looked at the two children with loving eyes and said to Eleven beside her...
"There are still too few children in the building. Look how well Tianxin is playing with other children outside."
The aloof man remained silent, a rare occurrence for him.
If it weren't for the bruises on Jiang Tianxin's face and her precariously broken nose, he would have thought he had a lot of fun playing with the child.
"Let's go, Tianxin."
"You're here, Master."
The little girl with her hair in two buns turned around and said to Huo Xiaolong.
"Huo Xiaolong! See you next time."
"goodbye."
He Yi and Cen Ang refused Huo Xiaolong's request to go to Miao territory, citing the hot weather and the need to return home for classes. Instead, the Miao Holy Maiden and her entourage followed Miao Cuifang back to the red-light district.
Zhang's mother said that the children were all extremely thin, and since the road in their house was about to be repaired and they needed to find someone to supervise the work, this group of people was just right, as they were all skilled and capable.
We'll visit the Miao village when autumn arrives.
At the Huo residence next to the brothel, three men sighed. They had promised to return in a couple of days, but there was still no sign of them today.
"Dad, why don't we go out and greet Mom?"
Erhei nodded in agreement from the side.
"The main problem is that we don't know which route they came back from."
Just as I was putting food in my mouth, a commotion broke out at the door, and Long'er's sweet voice rang out from outside.
"I'm back!"
The three people who were sitting opposite each other on the kang immediately got off the bed and disappeared. No matter how fast they rushed, they couldn't outrun the group of maids.
"Long'er".
Ping'er was the first to hug the little girl, kissing her tenderly and refusing to let go.
"You've gotten a bit tanned," Huanlv remarked from the side.
"Hehe, I went up on stage to compete in martial arts." Long'er pointed to the carriage with a smug look, introducing the local specialties she had brought back to her sisters.
“Just bring yourself back,” Ping’er joked.
Inside the carriage, as soon as her jade-like hand lifted the curtain, a forearm with a wrist guard appeared beside her. Just like before, back then, this was how Guard Huo helped her alight from the carriage.
The beauty smiled slightly at Huo Shuwen, and with just that one glance, her husband, whom she hadn't seen for so long, was once again stunned.
My arm was a little cold, but the warmth of my beloved's arm reached the deepest part of my heart.
"Ah Yi, you're back," Huo Shuwen said, helping He Yi down from the carriage.
The setting sun cast a rosy glow, and a few gentle rays of sunlight fell upon the beautiful woman's face, gradually creating an ambiguous atmosphere. Everyone at the door returned to the building. A warm breeze blew by, and strands of hair blurred her vision.
The man tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and whispered a hurt voice.
I miss you so much.
The beautiful woman smiled radiantly and grasped his hand in return.
"Me too."
The sun sets in the west, the moon rises slightly, the evening breeze is so melodious, and you are so enchanting.
Everything is just right, including meeting you.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder; you are always in my heart.
No matter how many times Huo Xiaocheng saw Chunying, his heart would pound uncontrollably, just like his father's.
