Huyan Guanyin blinked and said softly, "When I first entered the manor, I saw a few flowers in the corners of the manor. They didn't look like they were grown in the manor, so I gathered my courage and planted one in a small pot. I didn't know it was called a balsamine flower, nor did I know it was in bloom."
Hsu Fengnian nodded and smiled. "It's the same as the Xushi that's causing trouble for me in Beiliang. It's not a first-class product. But don't look at it just because it looks delicate, it can grow anywhere. A poor place like Beiliang is no exception. Some women who can't afford to buy rouge and face powder like to use its flower juice to paint their nails in summer and autumn. It's very eye-catching. Although this kind of thing has been criticized as a cheap product by famous scholars in Jiangnan who worship chrysanthemums and peonies, and has been given the harsh nickname of a chrysanthemum maid, I feel that regardless of whether or not she's a chrysanthemum maid, she can be used for people to admire and paint their nails. That's already the best use of her. There are a lot of them in my house. They grow all over the ground. Other famous flowers can't even be stopped by trees. However, I've never seen them bloom in winter. Presumably, it's because no one was willing to plant them in a pot and bring them back to the house that you accidentally delayed the flowering. That's right, this balsamine flower is very sturdy. My second sister gave it a nickname, 'Hot-Tempered'. Under the scorching sun, when the wind blows, or when you pinch it with your fingernails, the seeds will bounce far away. When I was young, every time I made my second sister angry, she would give me a black face and not say a word for days. I always liked to use my hot-tempered nature to flick her face. I'd rather have her scold me than ignore me. "
In the end, Hsu Fengnian saw Huyan Guanyin staring straight at him. Hsu Fengnian said awkwardly, "You didn't do anything wrong. How could I bear to scold you? Besides, I have a lot of things on hand right now and am very frustrated. It's not that I don't want to pay attention to you. I do know how to write the four characters' Anger and Introspection ', and my handwriting is not much worse than that of a famous calligrapher. It's a pity that I haven't been good at it, and I often take my anger out on others. You haven't seen the scene of me getting angry with my father. When I was young and ignorant, as long as something didn't go my way, I would vent my anger on him. I could even take a broom and chase him for thousands of miles. But now that I think about it, even though I was childish, I didn't feel too guilty. Who asked him to be my father, the person closest to me? Right? Besides, at that time, his legs were very nimble and he ran very fast. Everyone else respectfully called him the King of Beiliang and the Great General, but I called him the Runaway General. "
Huyan Guanyin looked at him and grinned. That smile was as innocent as a child's. Huyan Guanyin lowered her eyes, not meeting his gaze.
Hsu Fengnian saw her cowering timidly and mocked himself. Did he look like a criminal with the word 'pervert' engraved on his forehead? He remembered that her entire tribe on the grasslands treated him like an immortal. How could he reveal his true colors so quickly? Hsu Fengnian collected his thoughts and lowered his head to continue picking up the letter on his knees. He quickly focused and gave Administrator Li a few days of time. It was probably because of the sudden wind and rain in Lingzhou's officialdom that Uncle Li was busy with government affairs and temporarily had no time to care about Xu Beizhi's promotion. Even though it was not to his liking, Hsu Fengnian was still willing to endure it. Back then, the Yan family had chosen a small path to escape Lingzhou. If he had not hinted to Xu Xiao, Yan Jiexi might not have been able to leave Beiliang so smoothly. Hsu Fengnian warned himself not to be so soft-hearted in the future. Hwangnam County was where Li Gongde had made his fortune. Even though Li Gongde's reputation as an official was not good, his ability to judge people was not small. It was natural for him to appoint people by favoritism. However, a few of his disciples were considered capable officials in Beiliang's officialdom. If it were not for these people helping Li Gongde gain face, Xu Xiao would not have been so generous as to let Li Gongde become the Administrator under one person just based on the relationship between the Li and Xu families. The governor of Hwangnam County, Song Yan, was one of the best. He did not have a prominent teacher and was self-taught. He was skilled in both magic and power. If it were not for the fact that he had many objections towards Xu Xiao and could not help Li Gongde's other 'lackeys', he would not have stopped at being the governor of a county. This time, the reason why Li Gongde was so concerned and anxious was because Hwangnam County was not normal. Normally, this would be a bright political achievement. However, with the new Lingzhou General in a quagmire, wouldn't Hwangnam County become a dazzling bird out of the forest? His Royal Highness was not moving forward in the quagmire. What was going on with him, Song Yan, who was high up on a branch? Even if he did not make a sound, it would make people feel that he was being noisy. Li Gongde's heart ached for the Lingzhou Provincial Governor. He just had to act dumb. It was not a crime. He was just afraid that because of Hwangnam County, he would be hated by His Royal Highness, who had walked in front of Beiliang for the first time.
Hsu Fengnian let out a breath and narrowed his eyes in deep thought. If nothing unexpected happened, Song Yan must have received one or two well-meaning secret letters from the Administrator, telling this disciple to quickly tarnish his reputation.
The people under him were too good at conducting themselves. As officials, they did not even care about doing things. What a headache. Now, with Zhong Hongwu as an example, no one would be stupid enough to go head to head with him, the Lingzhou General. As a result, they would all use soft methods to avoid the sharp edge, which would make people feel even more disgusted. Xu Beizhi was also not loyal. He did not get the Lingzhou Provincial Governor position and returned to Longqing Prefecture to watch the show. A copper coin that was no longer in circulation in the marketplace was slowly rolling between Xu Fengnian's five fingers. Huyan Guanyin stared at the copper coin as it rolled back and forth, tediously and tediously, but she watched with great interest. It was to the point that when Hsu Fengnian raised his head to look at her, she did not notice.
Hsu Fengnian put away the copper coin that the Crown Prince of Yan Chi had returned to him and said softly, "Before New Year's Eve, I need to go back to Liangzhou. At that time, you can leave Lingzhou with me. Do you want to go back to the Beimang grasslands or go to Jiangnan to take a look?"
Huyan Guanyin seemed to have realized something and asked, "With you?"
Hsu Fengnian could not help but laugh, "Of course it's you alone. How can I leave?"
She blinked her eyes and lowered her head again.
Hsu Fengnian stretched out his finger and knocked her head. He laughed angrily, "The entire officialdom in Lingzhou is working together to play dirty with me. What, are you using what you have learned? Do you believe that I will chase you off the carriage? "
She raised her head. She was still silent.
Hsu Fengnian had a flash of inspiration. He was stunned and asked softly, "You just want me to talk to you?"
Huyan Guanyin's beautiful face turned red.
Hsu Fengnian held his stomach and laughed. He stretched out his hand and pinched her delicate cheeks. He then said helplessly, "Should I say that you are stupid or stupid? You are so quiet. Of course, I thought that you were not happy by my side. That's why I wanted you to go to a place where you can be happy. You have to know that on the grasslands, you dared to take the initiative to enter the tiger's mouth and ride on my body. Look at now, you are so lifeless. "
She was shy and wanted to say something. Hsu Fengnian sighed and let her sit sideways on his lap. He put one hand around her round shoulder and rested his chin on her head. He continued to flip through the letters.
This is called a saint's calmness.
It is really unreasonable that I can't become a land immortal in this lifetime.
The woman who was sitting sideways leaned forward, her chest squeezing one of his arms.
Hsu Fengnian did not pay much attention to it at first. He only thought that she was uncomfortable. However, when his arm felt her restlessness, he quickly realized that it was not strange that he could not become a land immortal.
Hsu Fengnian put the stack of letters on the ground. He only picked up one of them. His other hand slid into her collar. There was only a thin layer of satin between them. He held a ball of smooth fullness. His five fingers sank slightly.
Huyan Guanyin's head leaned back and rested on his arm that was holding the letter. Her charming eyes were like silk. She raised her head and looked at this guy. She was at a loss and faintly let out a delicate nasal sound.
Hsu Fengnian's sanctimonious appearance made people's hair stand on end. He pretended to be calm.
In order not to make a sound, the ignorant woman bit a slender finger.
This natural charm was extremely alluring.
Hsu Fengnian looked down and asked himself, 'Why don't I stop thinking about becoming a land immortal today?'
