Mrs. Wu led her son-in-law into the inner courtyard and left wisely. Wang Erlang also walked towards Lady Cao's boudoir without any scruples.
He was already used to shopping before they were officially engaged, let alone now.
"Ah, little lady, my uncle is here right away." Xiaoru lay on the crack of the door and looked out with one eye.
Madam Cao was still rummaging for something on the dressing table, and without looking back she ordered, "Hurry up and stop him, I haven't finished painting yet."
"Why!"
Xiao Ru responded and left the boudoir, met Wang Erlang, pulled his sleeve and walked aside, "Uncle, come with me, the little lady is already waiting for you in the back garden."
"Ah, oh."
Wang Erlang was pulled by her like a puppet on strings to the back garden.
"The young lady is in the back garden, please go find her by yourself."
After saying a few words, Xiao Ru left, leaving Wang Erlang alone on the ground.
The Wang family didn't have much of a back garden, so they just planted some flowers and plants in one yard and added a pavilion. But the Cao family's back garden was a real Song garden, complete with landscapes, pavilions and bridges, and all kinds of rare flowers, trees, trees, The rockery rocks are arranged in a chaotic but unique way. For a moment, I really didn’t know where to look.
On such a hot day, do you still want to play this?
Wang Erlang scratched his head and entered the back garden to rummage.
As soon as Mrs. Cao came out of the boudoir, she ran into Xiao Ru who was coming back from the back garden and asked hurriedly: "Where is the other person?"
Xiaoru replied casually: "I'm looking for you in the back garden."
"Okay."
Mrs. Cao gave a sound of approval, then quickly walked to the back garden holding up her skirt.
As soon as they entered the back garden, they could see the idiot who was a little taller than the rockery looking around. Miss Cao walked up behind him with cunning hands.
"uh-huh."
Mrs. Cao coughed heavily, frightening the unsuspecting Wang Erlang.
"Porridge, I'm scared to death of my husband." Wang Erlang came back to his senses and joked.
"Humph, whose husband are you!" Miss Cao was overturned and walked towards the pavilion with her hands behind her back.
Wang Erlang followed up quickly, "Whose husband do you want me to be?"
"I love someone, but I don't want it anyway. How can a husband not come back once in three years?"
"I told you, I will come back after destroying Xixia. Once a man has made a promise, it is difficult to follow his promise. How can Xixia have the dignity to come back to see you."
"you……"
Madam Cao turned around and raised her little fist, just about to greet the person in front of her, when she suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.
Three years ago, the day before the expedition, in this back garden, she asked him when he would come back. He said: He would come back after Xixia was destroyed...
At that time, she just thought he was farting, but looking at it now... Could it be that it was because of a promise he made to herself that he worked hard to regain Xixia and did not return for three years until he fulfilled this promise?
Madam Cao's heart was like a stone being dropped, causing ripples, and all the worries of the past disappeared.
She didn't know how to put on any kind of makeup, because she felt a little ashamed when facing her increasingly tall sweetheart, so she learned simple makeup under the guidance of her best friend, thinking to make up for it a little bit.
While she was stunned, her fist was already wrapped by a pair of big hands. She raised her head and met a pair of eyes with longing overflowing from her eyes.
"Porridge..." Wang Erlang called softly.
"Well..." Mrs. Cao also responded softly.
"Are you wearing makeup?"
"ah?"
Lady Cao was stunned, what nonsense was this ghost talking about?
Is this really a good question to ask at this time?
Holding back her anger, Mrs. Cao gritted her teeth and said, "How did you see that?"
Wang Erlang answered truthfully, "Because your two eyebrows don't seem to be the same length."
"Go to hell you!"
Miss Cao took out her fist and punched Wang Erlang twice.
Wang Erlang laughed, accepted them all, and even returned the favor a few times appropriately.
In this way, the two couples parted ways in Quanwu Xing, and also met in Quanwu Xing.
Xiao Ru, who was in the distance, was not surprised to see him. He was sitting in the corridor calmly shaking his round fan and humming a tune.
Don't be surprised, don't be surprised.
The two of them stopped fighting until they were sweating and sat together in the pavilion.
"Actually, my porridge looks good even without makeup. It can be said that the natural beauty removes the carvings, and the clear water brings out the hibiscus."
Wang Erlang stared at his sweetheart, until Miss Cao's cheeks turned red, redder than rouge.
"I'm full of sweet words. I don't know who I learned them from."
At this point, she suddenly stood up, put her hands on her hips, and asked angrily, "Tell me, are you cheating on women outside behind my back?"
Wang Erlang shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, absolutely not. I swear on Wang Hang's happiness in this life, absolutely not."
After hearing this, Mrs. Cao wanted to have a fit again, but Wang Erlang pulled her into his arms and sat on his lap.
Miss Cao didn't dare to move for a moment, her face became increasingly red.
Not because of being in the arms of this smelly man, but because of the object next to his legs.
The touch from her thigh told her that it was hard... round... curved... long...
Isn’t this the one that my best friend said... that... that...
Miss Cao didn't dare to move, her face was so red that it was about to bleed.
"what is this?"
She still mustered up the courage to ask him, her voice as thin as gurgling water.
"Ah?" Wang Erlang, who was smelling his sweetheart's hair, was confused, "What?"
"This is it."
Miss Cao pointed to the object next to her thigh with her finger.
"Oh, this, baby."
Wang Erlang chuckled, his expression looking as vulgar as possible.
After Miss Cao received this answer, she spat softly, "Rogue."
"Here, let me show you my baby."
Wang Erlang said that he was about to reach into his arms to take it out. Madam Cao was so frightened that she quickly covered her face with her hands, her heart was beating fast and she didn't dare to say anything.
"This is a gift I brought back to you from the northwest."
northwest? Gift?
Listening to these two words, Miss Cao had a question mark on her head.
She spread her fingers across the two gaps, rubbed her head and looked into his arms. What caught her eyes were three crystal clear red, green and blue gems, which were dazzling in the sun. When Wang Zhi took out half of them, she could tell that those three gems were A gem is set on a pure white scabbard, and this treasure is exactly a dagger with a scabbard.
"Now, a gift for you."
Wang Erlang took out the dagger and said, "I know that you like to wield swords and swords so as to fight against injustice. People are prohibited from carrying swords in the city, so I thought of finding you a light self-defense weapon."
"I have been looking for this dagger for a long time. Ordinary daggers are either easy to curl or too heavy. This one is just right. The blade is forged from Utz steel from the Western Regions. The handle and scabbard are both made of ivory. It is very light. , it is not easy to be seen by others, and it is not strong, this kind of Uzi steel knife is not easy to be seen..."
Wang Erlang was still chattering, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Miss Cao looking straight at him with her big watery eyes.
The four eyes looked at each other, and the scene froze in an instant, as if even the wind had stopped swimming, and only two hearts were beating wildly, getting closer and closer...
With a "plop", a carp jumped out of the water, bit into the lotus, turned over into the water, and made circles of ripples.
When the ripples hit the pavilion, Miss Cao was awakened. She lowered her head in shame and whispered softly, "Do you remember everything?"
"Ah, what?" Wang Erlang didn't react for a moment.
"A gift, you said so." Mrs. Cao looked at him again.
Wang Erlang patted his chest and said, "That's right, if you are as trustworthy as I am, how can you break your promise?"
"Hmph, how can you give a girl a dagger?"
"Ah, don't you like it?"
"I like it. Who says I don't like it? I just like it."
Miss Cao said as she grabbed the dagger and pulled it out of the scabbard. The black and white blended blade outlined a strange pattern. This was a color that Miss Cao had never seen before. She couldn't help but be stunned. She admired it for a while before speaking. An exclamation: "It's so beautiful, I like it."
Wang Erlang was relieved and said, "As long as you like it."
"Boo~"
A charming voice sounded, and Wang Erlang's eyes widened immediately. He looked straight ahead and reached out to touch his face.
What he couldn't see was that a rouge lip mark suddenly appeared on his face. Miss Cao saw it. She blushed and ran away. She held a dagger and carved it on the pavilion pillar without leaving a trace.
"Hey hey hey..."
Wang Erlang touched his face and laughed, and he was still laughing from time to time until he left the Cao Mansion near the evening and entered the Xicheng Juxian Hall.
"Master, did you listen to what I said?"
Seeing that the hall master still didn't respond, Chang Qing had to step forward and shake his shoulders.
"Ah!" Wang Zhi finally came to his senses and asked, "Qing, what did you just say?"
"Let me tell you, our hall now has more than 300 brothers. In addition to Xicheng, Nancheng and Beicheng are basically under our management. The Lord Fu takes great care of our hall. In the past few years, we and the Fu Yamen Working together, they overtly and secretly eliminated many ruffian gangs, do you think our church still needs to expand its power?"
Wang Zhi heard this and nodded without thinking: "Yes, why not? Three hundred is not enough, the more the better."
Chang Qing frowned slightly and thought for a while before saying, "Master, many ministers in the court have noticed us in the past two years. They said that our hall is too large and may endanger the safety of the country. It is recommended that the court eradicate our hall. It is the government's responsibility." You withstood the pressure and the court did not take action, but the court will definitely not allow our hall to continue to grow. If we recruit more people, I'm afraid..."
"Afraid of him!" Before Chang Qing could finish speaking, Wang Erlang took over, "You just have to worry about it, I'll take care of anything you have to do."
Chang Qing nodded, but his brows did not relax and were still furrowed.
Wang Erlang put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, as long as the people are on our side, the court will not dare to do anything to us. You see, the master of your family and I have been working against the court for three years, and I still entered with such arrogance. Bianjing City, was given a high official position by the imperial court? This is the power of the people's hearts!"
Although Wang Zhi was talking to him, his eyes were empty and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he came back to his senses and said, "Let's go, all the brothers should be here, let's start the banquet!"
