The destruction of Yeyu Xiaozhu, in a sense, Changfeng Tower has done a good thing. After all, no matter in which era, the "killer organization" is despised.
But it's not entirely a good thing.
Xiaozhu's killers were not dead, and quite a few escaped, including "Taotie", one of the twelve former bosses, and "Gu", who had never seen the dragon before its end. There are other killer organizations in this arena. Taking advantage of Yeyu Xiaozhu's destruction, these organizations began to frantically absorb the survivors of Yeyu Xiaozhu. For a time, some unknown killer organizations began to become active.
Chen Zijue was even offered a huge reward. Not for his life, but for him as a person. It's a pity that after that battle, Chen Zijue disappeared into the vast sea of people, and no one knew where he went.
Of course, these are small things, and this has always been the case in Jianghu.
A big devil is defeated, a large group of smaller devils appear, and a few decades later a big one appears again, and the cycle repeats.
The New Year is coming, and all kinds of grievances will have to be settled after the New Year. The martial arts conference has also been set for February 16th.
…
"Feng Lan, please come back to the valley to spend the New Year this year." At the entrance of the Xianren Hall, Chen Yan and Zhou Xiao were riding on horses, talking to their daughters and prospective sons-in-law who came to see them off.
Li Fenglan smiled and said: "Well, we will deal with some things in these half months, and we will definitely rush back before the end of the year."
Zhou Xiao said, "Mingyu, if you don't go home this year, come to the valley."
Zhu Mingyu was flattered: "I will definitely go."
Han Lu and Bai Shuyu were not mentioned. Needless to say, Han Lu would definitely go to Chaolan Valley with Li Fenglan, mainly because he had no choice. As for Bai Shuyu, Zhou Xiao and his wife still have opinions about this kid, so they deliberately don't mention him so that he can figure it out.
Everyone chatted at the door for a while, and then the couple rode away.
Amber said to Zhu Mingyu: "Mingyu, let's go to Luoyang City and buy some things on the way back."
Zhu Mingyu nodded and turned to ask Li Fenglan and the others: "What do you want to buy? We will bring it back to you along the way."
Li Fenglan shook her head: "No need."
The couple happily headed towards Luoyang City.
Jade felt a little bored and was about to go back to the house to rest for a while. At this time, Bai Shuyu, who had been sullen from the beginning, suddenly said: "Jade...can you come to my house?"
Jade asked: "What are you doing at your house?"
"My sister... wants to see you."
Jade hesitated and said, "Okay."
During the time when he came back, Feicui was indifferent to Bai Shuyu, which was obviously because he still had grudges about what happened before. Keeping it like this is not an option, you have to give him a step down. Simply go to Bai's house. At least Bai Xueyan and the others have nothing to hide or deceive Jade.
After Feicui and Bai Shuyu also left, Li Fenglan smiled and said to Han Lu, "Muyun, go get some silver. It's the end of the year and it's time to pay them wages."
The welfare benefits of Xianrentang are good. It was only the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month and the servants were given a holiday, and everyone was given a generous red envelope. This made the servants burst into tears of gratitude. It was so easy to work in this house. The young masters and ladies were basically not at home, so they didn't need to wait on them, and they still had money to take.
After giving money to his servants and watching them pack their luggage and go home for the New Year, Li Fenglan glanced at Wintersweet and asked, "Lamei, aren't you going home?"
Lamei replied sheepishly: "Miss, as I said before, I have no home."
Li Fenglan thought for a moment: "You are already old now. It's not a problem to be alone all the time. After all, you are the steward of our idle hall, so you have to have some cards. It's time to think about life-long matters."
Lamei was even more embarrassed: "Hey... I don't have anything I want. Who would be willing to marry me..."
"How do you know if you haven't looked for it? Go to the city to find a matchmaker and ask someone to find you a wife. Go to the side yard to find a house for yourself and buy it properly. I have paid you a lot of wages this year, right? "
Lamei nodded and bowed: "Miss Hui, it's indeed a lot."
"That's all, you can decide for yourself."
After Li Fenglan finished speaking, she went
Went to the backyard.
Lamei thought for a while: The lady is right, it’s time to think about her life-long affairs. So he took the red envelope from his lady and went to the city to find a matchmaker.
Li Fenglan has been sleepy since she came back from Luzhou. They have been out of the valley for so long, and the trouble is finally solved, so she feels a little relaxed. If Chen Yan hadn't always told her that "young people need to be a little energetic," she would have been lazy in bed for twelve hours a day.
What else needs to be done before the year ends? Yes, I need to give gifts. I need to give more gifts this year. After Yeyu Xiaozhu is solved, it is time to consider getting Changfeng Tower on the right track. You can try to contact the Jianghu forces to see their attitude.
Li Fenglan was lost in thought when she happened to pass by Han Lu's room. Han Lu suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into the room.
Li Fenglan exclaimed. Before she could realize what was happening, Han Lu was already hugging her and starting to chew.
From Luzhou to Luoyang, the two of them behaved well in front of their parents, and they never even held hands. The young man in his early twenties could no longer restrain his inner impulse.
Li Fenglan struggled hard and finally freed her mouth from the restraints. She whispered but urgently: "Close the door..."
Han Lu let go of her and walked to the door. Li Fenglan took a breath and said to herself: It seems that he can't be fed in the future. He tried every means to refuse before, but now he has become so impatient after not touching her for a while.
After closing the door and coming back, Li Fenglan was sitting at the table taking off the hairpin from her head. Obviously, Han Lu couldn't stand the ink now, so she picked up Li Fenglan and put her on the table. Li Fenglan was very panicked. For her, this was a bit unbelievable.
"Hey...don't be here..."
He didn't care about this, ignored Li Fenglan's plea, pushed her onto the table, and started busy with his mouth and hands. The tea bowls and the newly picked hairpins were scattered on the floor. Fortunately, thick carpets have been replaced, and the tea bowls and other items were not broken.
Li Fenglan simply didn't care whether these things existed or not, and let him go.
Of course I ended up going back to bed.
After working hard for most of the morning, I finally got some rest.
When I stayed in Xiangyang and Jingmen Mountain, the beds in both residences were very small, and there was not enough space for the two of them to lie side by side. Li Fenglan liked to lie on Han Lu. Now that she is back in Luoyang, she still likes this.
After the storm calmed down, Li Fenglan stretched out her hand and pinched Han Lu's cheek, and lectured: "It's broad daylight, you can't even wait for a day?"
Han Lu replied: "Both Amber and Jade came back tonight, and your rooms are so close."
"Then it will be daytime from now on?"
Han Lu suddenly laughed: "It's just a matter of course if we get married. We just happen to live in our own courtyard."
"Are you thinking of separating me from my sisters now?"
"In a few days, your eldest sister will marry into the Bai family, and your younger sister will marry into the Zhu family. If you don't want to, you have to separate."
Li Fenglan rolled her eyes, sat up, and looked at the clothes left by the table. She patted the cold dew and said, "Go and pick up my clothes."
Han Lu didn't move, so Li Fenglan patted him again: "Go."
He pulled Li Fenglan into his arms and felt the changes in a certain part of his body. Li Fenglan blushed: "It's almost noon... get up quickly..."
Han Lu did not let her go, which was considered revenge.
At noon, the two finally got up. At this time, Li Fenglan felt a little regretful. She had known that she should have finished lunch before letting the servants have a holiday. Now, she has to cook by herself.
Originally Han Lu said he would cook, but Li Fenglan suddenly wanted to show off her cooking skills. Thinking of Li Fenglan's cooking skills, Han Lu had a headache. Li Fenglan's requirements for herself are too low when it comes to cooking: as long as she can eat it, it doesn't matter if it tastes good or not, and she really likes cooking.
By coincidence, Hu Bo and Zhu Mingyu came back in time for dinner, and followed Feicui and Bai Shuyu through the door. Bai Shuyu said he was sending Feicui home - this was very funny. It was such a long journey, and with Feicui's skills, was he afraid that she would encounter monsters and monsters?
Jade saw Li Fenglan in the kitchen
After working there, I felt like I had seen a ghost. She is just a lazy sister, no, she is a lazy sister. When did she know how to cook? She has never touched Yang Chun Shui since she was a child. If no one cooks for her, she will starve to death even if there is rice and noodles at home.
When Li Fenglan brought out a table of "delicious dishes", both Amber and Jade were shocked beyond measure.
Jade sighed: "Mom has been telling you for more than ten years, but you are still so lazy and know nothing. Just stayed outside with Mu Yun for a few months, and you can even cook. It seems that men are still more important."
Li Fenglan slapped the table: "I didn't learn to cook for him! I had to learn it myself!"
Han Lu on the side cleared her throat and said, "What about that, you eat first, I'll wash the pot."
Li Fenglan pulled his sleeve, stared at him and said, "What are you washing? I don't need you. I will wash it after eating... Let's eat quickly, the food will be cold in a while."
Jade picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat doubtfully, took a bite, frowned and said, "It's salty."
Picking up another green vegetable: "It's bland."
Zhu Mingyu also took a bite: "The heat is not good."
Bai Shuyu also picked up the chopsticks: "The appearance is okay... eh... eh? eh..."
Li Fenglan was a little dissatisfied: "If you have any objections, just say it, why?"
Bai Shuyu put down his chopsticks: "This needs to be boiled before being put into the pot, otherwise it will be a little sour."
Li Fenglan gritted her teeth and asked, "What does blanching mean?"
"Well... there are several methods, but this dish needs to be put into cold water, boiled and taken out. Over time, the dish will become stale."
Li Fenglan didn't like to hear criticism from others. She looked at Amber and said, "Hubo, try it."
Amber tasted a dish at random, nodded and said, "It's quite delicious."
Li Fenglan was very happy: "Look! Everyone has a mouth worth five cents, and they can't eat good food! Amber, eat more, there is still more in the pot."
Amber's expression changed and she put down her chopsticks: "I'm full!"
Li Fenglan was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. Just when she was about to get angry, she saw Han Lu devouring her food with a rice bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other. Only then did the anger in her heart subside a little.
Jade smoothed things over: "Let's all eat, it's rare for her to cook a meal."
Zhu Mingyu picked up the rice bowl, said "tsk tsk" twice, and said to Han Lu: "You are hardworking enough. If it doesn't taste good, just say it. You have to give her advice to make progress. You will be miserable for the rest of your life."
Han Lu stopped eating and sighed: "Hey..."
Before he could say anything, Zhu Mingyu suddenly elbowed him on the ribs, causing Han Lu to bend over and cough in pain. He looked up at Zhu Mingyu and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhu Mingyu came to his senses and apologized hastily: "No... I just thought you were going to say something sarcastic to ridicule me. I forgot that you are alone now."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Han Lu also laughed. He put down his bowls and chopsticks and said, "Feng Lan can cook after all." This was of course an allusion to Amber.
Amber raised her head and glared at him: "If I can learn it, I can too!"
Zhu Mingyu smiled and said, "The blow I just gave was not in vain."
