moon.

Not surprising name.

Chanjuan's expression that was too free in the villa and her unavoidable attitude in the owner's seat, all told me that she was very familiar with this "Yilan Villa" and had some power, and had reached the level of the owner.

Meeting my gaze, Liu Qinghan said, "You have seen her."

"Um."

I smiled and said, "She is a very capable person. We came so suddenly that she quickly handled everything for us."

"Yes, she is very capable."

"I heard from Brother Zhao that she is always helping you."

Liu Qinghan glanced at me, and his eyes flashed, as if he wanted to speak but stopped.

I looked at him with my head tilted, "What's wrong?"

He was silent for a moment: "Do you know who she is?"

I looked at him with a smile: "I'm waiting for you to tell me."

He continued to walk forward two steps, and I followed him. There were not many people next to the river bank. I wonder if it was because of the appearance of this "third master", no one dared to come and disturb him easily. The two of them were even leisurely.

After a while, he said, "She believes that she is your cousin's vassal."

This time, I stopped. Liu Qinghan took another step before stopping to look at me. I said in surprise: "Qinghan, he has been ruling since he was a child, and he also told me that he was not married."

Liu Qinghan said calmly: "So, she is 'recognizing'."

“…”

Only then did I come to my senses.

I said, "Then she is to Qinghan-"

He thought for a while and said, "The goddess has a heart, but King Xiang has no dreams."

After saying that, he thought about it again and added: "Maybe, it may not be dreamless."

“…”

"It's just that he doesn't want to fall asleep."

I looked at him: "How do you know that he has a dream but refuses to fall into it?"

"Yilan Villa," he said calmly: "If he was completely unintentional, he would not have to build such a villa in a place he could hardly go to."

"Then he refuses to fall into a dream is-"

"I have never been here once for several years, so I will leave Chanjuan alone here. Isn't this the goddess who has the intention and King Xiang has no dreams?"

I was silent for a while, then looked at him with a smile: "It's rare, you can see so thoroughly."

He was slightly stunned and said nothing. He immediately turned around and continued to walk forward. I followed him. The two of them walked quietly for a while. I said, "So, she is my cousin's confidante."

He nodded: "Yes."

I let out a light breath: "No wonder..."

No wonder, she is no longer young, but she is still dressed as a girl and is not out of the box; but even if she dresses as a girl, she looks like she is wearing mourning. If she considers herself to be Qinghan's vain, then that dress of white can be explained.

Especially, I remembered that her eyes were lonely.

She asked her to come out to see the lanterns together, but she refused. The lively world seemed to have been closed by her heart and completely resisted outside her own world.

And Yan Qinghan...

I don’t know what he thought in his heart and how he viewed this woman. Maybe it was really as Liu Qinghan said. He was not dreamless, but he just refused to fall asleep. Although he kept the precepts since childhood, the human heart could not be completely controlled by a clean rule, just like his father. However, he could not control his own heart, but he could control his behavior. Therefore, although he built this Yilan Villa and kept Chanjuan living here forever, he refused to come once for several years. It was probably his own struggle and suffering.

Liu Qinghan continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back. I followed him, only one step away from him. Seeing his shoulders slightly closed, it was a habit that would appear unconsciously when he was under great pressure, so he asked softly: "She, does it make you feel very tricky?"

He didn't say anything, just nodded.

I said, "There is only her here, and you haven't thought about finding a way out for her?"

He shook his head gently: "She stubbornly wants to stay here for Mr. Qinghan, and I can't say anything. Besides, when I entered Sichuan to take over your cousin's family business, I once made public that if anyone he used was not too big, I would not change it within three years; if the rules he set were not harmed, I would not adjust within three years."

I raised my eyebrows.

It turns out that his announcement is like this.

If there is no major mistake...If there is no harm...

After all, I have been an official for so many years and will definitely leave a line for myself when speaking and doing things. Just these two sentences have too many possibilities to discuss. I smiled and said, "It seems that you have some plans, too."

He said lightly: "Those who have new bathing must play the crown, and those who have new bathing must cheer up their clothes. The words of the ancients still make sense."

“…”

He turned his head and looked at me: "What are you looking at me?"

I smiled and shook my head.

I originally wanted to ask him what Chanjuan made him difficult, but when I remembered what he just said, I had just arrived in Bishan. It was a festive festival and there were such a beautiful scenery around me. I really shouldn't have talked about something bad about it, so I shut up.

The two of them walked for a while and happened to walk to an arch bridge.

He also looked at the bustling crowd next to him, and I turned to look at the river channel. The river channel in the Arch Bridge was narrow and narrow. The floating lights that had just wandered on the river were crowded together at this time, waiting for the flowing water to send them downstream, so most of the river lights stopped under the Arch Bridge, reflecting the light on the back of the bridge.

Liu Qinghan suddenly said, "Are you hungry?"

I turned around and said, "Ah?"

"Are you hungry?"

I looked across the road and saw a place specializing in snacks. Various snack stalls were placed here, with a wide range of food, and there was a very pleasant sour and spicy smell in the air, which made people feel very excited.

I smiled and said, "I'm really a little hungry. I haven't eaten yet."

"They didn't prepare it for you?"

"I originally wanted to wait for you to come back, but later I rushed out to see the lanterns, so it was useless."

"Then go and eat some."

He led me across the street and arrived at a food stall. It was a wonton stall set up by middle-aged people. Many diners were sitting on a stool at the small table and eating. We found a clean seat to sit down. The store immediately brought two large and flat bowls. There were about a dozen white bubbles and little tails crowded in the clear soup. The aroma of pepper noodles and vinegar was washed by the hot soup, and the aroma was immediately overflowing. A handful of chopped green onions made people's index fingers even more.

I scooped up a bite with a spoon, and my mouth was filled with gravy and sour and fragrant soup, and my eyes were wide open: "Hmm--!"

He looked at me: "How?"

"Uh-huh!"

I stuffed the remaining half into my mouth and chewed it carefully. The meat was chopped softly and was as fat as thin as it was, without any greasy feeling. After swallowing it, I kept saying, "It tastes so good!"

He smiled and said, "Then eat more."

I didn't have dinner and walked with him for so much time. I was really hungry. I ate all the wontons in the bowl after a few seconds. I was still not satisfied. I was hesitating whether to order another bowl when I saw him scoop the wontons that had almost never moved in his bowl into my bowl.

I looked at him and he said, "If you eat two more, don't eat it. It's too late, don't stop eating."

"Um."

I scooped up one with a spoon and chewed it carefully.

After the two of them finished eating, he stood up and took out a piece of silver from the brocade bag around his waist. The boss still couldn't find it, so he could only go to the person at the stall next to him to pay. He also stood patiently on the street, and waited for the boss to get the money back and collected it himself before coming over: "Let's go."

I looked at him with a smile: "I thought you would be rich and said 'No need to look for it'."

He smiled and said, "If you have money, you can't use money indiscriminately."

“…”

"The richest people in the world will also have times when they are not rich enough."

“…”

My heart suddenly jumped.

This sentence seems to have a deep meaning.

Of course I know very well that the richest person in the world is the rich emperor, but now, Pei Yuanhao's treasury is not enough. He needs money to support the next war.

Liu Qinghan seemed to feel my gaze flashing, and he looked down at me: "Hmm?"

“…”

After all, it was the first day of my arrival, and I still don’t want to break such a good atmosphere so quickly.

So he smiled and said, "But we may have to spend money on you this time. I have brought a lot of people."

He also laughed: "What should be spent should be spent."

"But there is one person who may have to spend a little more."

"who?"

"Zhao Shuyuan."

“…!”

His face froze clearly and looked at me: "Who are you talking about?"
