There was a sudden gust of wind in the sky, blowing down the willow leaves above her head.
The wind seemed to blow into her heart, and she suddenly felt a chill. When she raised her head, the hesitation in her heart had disappeared.
"What did you say? Did you see me this afternoon?" Bai Huahong asked knowingly.
The emotion in Zhou Dagu's heart dominated the rationality. He didn't even realize that his tone was a bit aggressive: "Fangcao Pavilion, Zhu Jinwen, three businessmen!"
"You don't know this?"
Bai Huahong raised her head stubbornly: "I don't know, I'm working this afternoon!"
"I've never been to Fangcao Pavilion!"
Zhou Dagu was very disappointed and looked at her back: "Can you not lie to me?"
He didn't use a mirror, he just wanted to hear the truth.
Bai Huahong shook his head: "I didn't lie to you!"
"You know, they and the Lotus Sect..." Zhou Dagu tried to explain.
Bai Huahong suddenly turned around and glared at him: "Don't mention the Lotus Sect. The current Bai Huahong has nothing to do with the Lotus Sect, and you, Zhou Dagu, have nothing to do with the Lotus Sect!"
"As for the rest, I don't know, and neither do you!"
Zhou Dagu suddenly understood what she meant.
Bai Huahong didn't lie to Zhou Dagu, she was just afraid that he would get involved in the Lotus Sect.
She, Bai Huahong, knows best what the Lotus Sect is like and what the court's attitude is towards the Lotus Sect members.
Even if he is Zhou Mingzhou and is the pride of the entire Xiangzhou cultural heritage, when he is related to the Lotus Sect, the imperial court will still take action against him.
The Zhu family suffered a huge loss in relation to the Lotus Sect back then!
It's so big that they can't face the Lotus Sect, and it's so big that they want to kill people when they hear the name of the Lotus Sect!
"I can help you!" Zhou Dagu said tentatively. He knew his abilities and his boundaries.
Bai Huahong smiled: "I know, I'm very happy if you are willing to help me!"
"You can just help the girl with white flowers and red flowers around you wash the dishes. As for the other things, please don't bring any trouble to yourself, okay?"
Zhou Dagu raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky.
At this moment, the stars were very small, and so was he.
"I have already made inquiries in the government school. This Dragon Boat Festival is an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Lotus Sect."
"Du Zhoumu has his own plan. He is a person who has a strong desire for control. I don't know what he is planning, but it must be very important to him. He has been preparing for a long time and will never allow his plan. There's a problem!"
Zhou Dagu leaned on the recliner and shook his head slightly: "He did not expect the appearance of the Lotus Sect!"
"In order to ensure that the plan goes ahead, he will definitely get rid of the Lotus Sect!"
"The soldiers of Shimen Mansion have begun to take over the defense of Qingxue Mansion. They have something in their hands that can investigate the Lotus Sect. They will definitely investigate the whole city."
"After the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be no more Lotus Cult members in Qingxue Mansion."
Zhou Dagu looked at the girl's face, which was like the moon: "Believe me, you can't get out without my help!"
Bai Huahong looked back at him. The girl's eyes flashed, with a hidden prayer: "They wanted to ask you for help, but when I heard that you were unwilling, I found that I was happy!"
"Zhou Dagu, everyone has their own destiny! If Qingxue Mansion is really the place where I sold myself, I will have a clear conscience even if I die here!"
"But, I don't want you to get involved in this!"
Zhou Dagu didn't understand that this was what Da Ying said was the number one cult person?
"Why, you don't need me?"
Bai Huahong walked past her: "If you are discovered, killed, or just injured because of this, I won't be able to live with it..."
"You can't pass the test in your own heart!"
She stood beside him and looked down at his face: "Now, it's good for us to be like this. You are not mine, and I have nothing to do with you. I will move out tomorrow, and we will pretend that we don't know each other!"
He closed his eyes and his eyelids were trembling.
She lowered her hand but did not touch his face: "It's great to meet you! I'm not worthy!"
Bai Huahong took a step forward.
Zhou Dagu suddenly spoke: "Two days ago, I said I knew another kind of piano, and I asked the carpenter and blacksmith to make it. You don't want to hear the sound of that piano, or the song I wrote for you? "
Bai Huahong shook her head and smiled, her smile as miserable as the moonlight: "I've never seen you write lyrics before. Unfortunately, I don't have this blessing!"
"I don't know what kind of girl a person like you will marry in the future!"
"Sleep!"
In the small courtyard, there is wind, the leaves are shaking, and the moonlight is falling.
There was also a man lying on a lounge chair, reaching out to grab the starlight.
This is the first time Zhou Dagu has longed for power since he came to this world!
In the past, he just wanted to live, but now he wants talent more and the power to control his freedom.
He likes to borrow strength, but he doesn't like to pin his future on others.
Things that can't be done...
Zhou Dagu smiled miserably, feeling a little painful!
He lowered his head and drank the wine in one gulp. Zhou Dagu discovered that he didn't like having a guilty conscience either!
On the second day of May, it rained lightly.
When Zhou Dagu went out, he found that Bai Huahong had already left home.
Zhou Youran glared at him angrily: "Brother, are you angry with Sister Bai?"
"She came back last night and started packing her things. She left before dawn today!"
Zhou Dagu was surprised and said helplessly: "Did she leave anything behind?"
Zhou Youran took out a few books from behind: "She left me a piano score, a swordsmanship book for Wang An, and a Buddhist scripture for Brother Dian!"
"Brother, what kind of person is Sister Bai? Will she come back?"
Zhou Dagu sighed: "Didn't you leave anything for me?"
"No, it's all your fault for making her angry!"
Zhou Dagu turned around: "She's not angry, she just doesn't need me anymore!"
Zhou Dagu went to school with his book under his arm and an oil-paper umbrella. On the way, he heard the uncle selling vegetables sigh. The aunt who often sold mushrooms next to him was missing. Someone said that she was taken away by the officers and soldiers!
The uncle stamped his feet: "She is just an ordinary woman. If she makes any mistake, these damn officers and soldiers will arrest people randomly!"
Zhou Dagu shook his head and walked through the rain.
On the third day of May, the rain had not stopped, but it had gradually lightened up in the early morning.
Zhou Youran sat at the door thinking about Bai Huahong, but Zhou Dagu didn't eat the food she cooked.
Zhou Dagu took a few pennies to buy sesame cakes at the entrance of the alley. The old woman selling sesame cakes said, "Things have been bad recently. The rich businessman who used to come to my place to buy sesame cakes was killed by someone at home!"
"Zhou Mingzhou, his body was brought into the government office. There is no news yet. Who do you think did it?"
Zhou Dagu shook his head. He knew who did it and who the wealthy businessman was.
But he cannot say that for ordinary people, being ordinary is happiness.
He walked through the rain and walked to the front of the school. The rain gradually became heavier and the mud on the middle street was washed away.
On the fourth day of May, there were clouds.
Zhou Dagu went out for a banquet at noon, and his classmates drank in Fangcao Pavilion to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow.
The students have been discussing with the students of Shimen Mansion these days, and for the first time they feel that there is a gap between scholars.
“Perhaps our cultural background in Xiangzhou is so thin!” a student sighed.
"What about tomorrow's literary meeting? Which of you has written the poem? We can't lose again!"
The student looked back at Zhou Dagu, who clenched his fists and was about to speak.
An old man stood at the door and smiled at him: "Zhou Mingzhou, can you take a step to speak?"
Zhou Dagu nodded and went out. He knew this old man as the steward of the State Mufu Mansion.
Standing in the alley, Zhou Dagu said strangely: "It's the Zhou Mu who has something to explain. I'd like to trouble you to make a trip and ask me to go to the Zhou Mu's Mansion!"
The old housekeeper nodded: "It's Zhou Mu who has something to explain!"
He took out a letter from his arms and gave it to Zhou Dagu: "This letter is from Kyoto!"
Zhou Dagu opened the letter and was stunned. He said why he hadn't seen Zuo Xiang's dirty tricks recently. It turned out that there was something going on in the court, and he couldn't care about himself anymore!
The old housekeeper said: "The state pastor has said that now that your literary name has been established, it is best not to participate in the Dragon Boat Festival this time."
"If you participate in writing a Dafu poem, you will not win, but it will affect your literary reputation. If you write a good poem, I am afraid it will attract the attention of the left prime minister again."
"You have a big feud with the Left Prime Minister. If the Left Prime Minister really realizes the threat you pose, and according to his behavior, he will use all his strength to deal with you when the time comes!"
Zhou Dagu nodded and thought to himself: "Student understands, thank you butler!"
"You're welcome. People like you don't have to be polite to me. The Zhou Mu has said that from now until the election, you'd better not go to the Zhou Mu's Mansion if you have nothing to do. Some people are watching the Zhou Mu's Mansion and are afraid that you will interact with the Zhou Mu. If it’s too dense, someone will do harm to you, and it’s easy to hide from open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows!”
Zhou Dagu raised his hands and said, "Thank you very much!"
"Then I'll go back first and won't delay your dinner party with your classmates!"
Zhou Dagu watched him go away, holding the letter in his hand and putting it back in his arms.
He walked into Fangcao Pavilion, looked at everyone, and sat down slowly.
The classmates looked at him with anxious eyes. They couldn't defeat the people in Shimen Mansion, but Zhou Mingzhou certainly could!
"Could we just let the people of Shimen Mansion weigh on us all the time!"
"Yes! Outsiders say that there is no one in Xiangzhou, and even the students like us can't raise our heads in front of Xiangzhou Wufu!"
Zhu Jinwen waved his sleeves and snorted: "Don't go around here, Zhou Mingzhou, in fact, our words are all for you!"
"We hope you will participate in this Dragon Boat Festival!"
Zhou Dagu asked him quietly: "If I, Xiangzhou, win, then you will lose your life in the bet!"
Zhu Jinwen shook his head: "Money is nothing to me, but a certain person values my reputation as a Confucian scholar from Xiangzhou!"
"Zhou Mingzhou, just say it! Do you want to participate in this Dragon Boat Festival?" Niu Ruxian picked up the wine bowl and looked at Zhou Dagu!
Zhou Dagu stood up and clinked bowls with him, nodded and said, "I will go to the literary meeting, but I may not be able to write poetry!"
"I'm sorry, classmates, I'm really not prepared!"
Zhou Dagu drank it all in one gulp, turned around and left: "I'm making soup at home! I'm going back first!"
Zhou Dagu fluttered his sleeves. It was not raining, so he took the umbrella and left.
