First Concubine

Chapter 210 Fierce business war (4)

Shui Linglong opened the curtain and went out. When she came back, she had a brocade box in her hand: "This is a gift from my concubine. You can go and thank my concubine tomorrow."

 Zhuge Yuwei showed a complicated expression: "Yes, I understand. Don't worry about the things in the shop, wait until I come back to deal with it."

Shui Linglong nodded, leaned in his arms, and the family of four fell asleep sweetly.

There was a full moon in the sky, but the moonlight could not shine into the place where he stood. The dark corridor stretched all the way without any light. Mu Hua came to this place again.

 "Don't...don't...don't do this...please..."

Hearing this voice again, Mu Hua stood in the quiet corridor, looking around. Then he looked up at the full moon in the sky, wondering why the bright moonlight could not shine on this corner! Little did he know that he had been surprised countless times, but every time it felt like it was the first time.

 “Help…Help…Please help me…”

"Save--save--save--life--ah, you--save--save--me--"

Mu Hua suddenly turned around, and saw a woman wearing light blue vertical striped clothes lying in a pool of blood. At this time, there was finally moonlight, but Mu Hua still could not see her face clearly. But just when Mu Hua was about to save her, he heard a loud cry, the sound of a baby! Almost at the same moment, a title came to his mind - son! Mu Hua looked around, trying to find his son's petite figure in the dark night. His son had just been born, who had left him where he couldn't see him? The cry was extremely loud, and every cry seemed to hit his heart! He was so anxious that he still didn't find his son.

"Save--you--save--save--me--"

“Don’t come over here, go away, please, don’t do this…”

Hearing a faint cry for help, Mu Hua suddenly came to his senses. There was an injured woman lying here! He stopped and looked at the woman again. This time, another title came to his mind - wife! Yes, it was her seriously injured wife lying in a pool of blood! What exactly is going on? How could his wife be lying in a pool of blood? Still shouting for help? Shouting not to come?

who? Who hurt her wife?

A ferocious laughter came from afar, sharp, high-pitched, exciting, and cold... Mu Hua was so frightened that when he looked at his wife again, he saw a majestic figure in front of her. Who is this person? Was it his wife's murderer? He took a big step, grabbed the man's shoulder, and pulled hard. The man turned his face...

"Wake up! Wake up! You can't sleep here, you will freeze to death!" Dong Jialin pushed Mu Hua, who was sleeping on the stone table in the pavilion. She called him countless times but he still didn't wake up. She could only Pushed him.

Mu Hua woke up from his sleep, his head throbbing and painful, and he was just a little bit able to see the man's face clearly! Although it was just a nightmare, he dreamed about it repeatedly, which meant that it might not be an illusion. He glanced at Dong Jialin. It was this troubled woman who prevented him from completing his dream! It doesn't matter to her whether he freezes to death or not?

Dong Jialin had never seen Mu Hua. She only saw that he was dressed in a rich or expensive way. She was afraid that he was a guest invited by the palace. She didn't want him to freeze to death and the palace would be responsible, so she kindly woke him up. However, instead of being grateful, he seemed to be very supportive. Resentful?

Mu Hua regained consciousness little by little. He glanced at the snow-filled sky around him and his eyes darkened. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Thank you so much, girl."

I really don’t like it. Men and women don’t have close contact with each other, but she actually touched him, hum! shameless! Standing up, Mu Hua tossed his sleeves and left! But there was a crisp sound, and Zhuge Ling's bracelet fell out of her wide sleeve and rolled to Dong Jialin's feet.

Dong Jialin bowed to pick it up, handed it to Mu Hua with both hands, and said softly: "Young Master."

 Seeing the bracelet, Mu Hua's eyes softened: "Thank you very much." He took the bracelet and left the pavilion without looking back.

Dong Jialin clearly felt the tenderness that burst out from him at that moment, like the warm spring river water, bringing a little warmth in the cold winter. Her eyes couldn't help but follow his back and look over there. Over there was... the maple forest. ! If she remembered correctly, it seemed that there was only one person living there: the second uncle!

The next day, Zhuge Liuyun took King An and boarded a carriage to Kashgar Qing. On the same day, Zhuge Yu led the soldiers of the three armies and set off for the east. This was Zhuge Yu's second time participating in a large-scale battle, but it was the first time he set out from the capital.

The heavy snow was falling one after another, drifting in and out, but it still couldn't stop the hearts of women in the boudoir. The windows of restaurants and teahouses along the way were wide open, and they watched Zhuge Yu's team leave with tears. Zhuge Yu was riding on a tall horse, aloof, cold, and elegant. Unparalleled. He has never reacted to the gazes of these people. The only people of the opposite **** who can make him worried are Linglong and his daughter. Thinking of his wife and a pair of children, a faint smile appeared in Zhuge Yu's cold eyes.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance of passionflower floated from the distance. Zhuge Yu felt two eyes that could not be ignored fell on his back. He hurriedly turned around to look at the crowd and the restaurants on both sides. Then, that warm gaze disappeared out of thin air, and only the fragrance of passionflower remained.

Zhuge Yu shook his head, could it be his own misunderstanding? But after taking a few steps, that feeling came again. This time, Zhuge Yu did not look back in a hurry. Instead, when the feeling became stronger and stronger, he suddenly turned around and saw a piece of red clothes facing the wind at the end of the alley. woman? He raised his eyebrows and lost interest.

 As soon as the men left, the Zhuge family's business was put on the agenda. Although Zhuge Yu repeatedly told Shui Linglong not to bother herself and wait for him to come back to deal with it. But Shui Linglong really couldn't let that **** Xun Feng earn so much money from the Zhuge family. No, the bed Zhuge Yu slept on was still hot, and Shui Linglong had already come to the desk to make plans. She didn't notice the fight between her sister and her brother on the bed, but Xiaoxia called her to feed her twice. After feeding her, she kept writing. Zhong’s mother tried to persuade her twice, but she didn’t hear her. Zhifan made honey grapefruit tea, cooled it down and replaced it with new ones. There were four or five cups in total, but she didn’t see it either. She was completely immersed in her own thoughts. A huge business network gradually took shape in her mind, and she slowly drew it with her pen.

The snow quietly stopped, and the setting sun broke through the clouds. The orange-red light suddenly enveloped the sky above the entire palace, like a blue luan spreading its fiery red wings, blessing the palace with great blessings and abundant descendants.

Mu Hua was also busy writing in his room. He did not expect that the Zhuge family's business would plummet in just three months. If it were just a few shops, he might be able to improve them using his previous methods. But the Zhuge family has a total of seventy-eight shops under its name, including restaurants, silk and satin shops, grain shops, antique shops, pharmacies, and music shops... I don’t know what the people who bought the shops thought at the time. Is it interesting to have so many different types of industries? Is it easy to manage?

The maid outside the door reported several times that dinner was ready, but he remained indifferent. No, he didn't hear it at all! The maids did not dare to disturb him and took the food to the dining room to heat it. When the moon was on the branch, he finally finished writing the last stroke. He unfolded the white paper with both hands and looked at the pattern drawn by his own hand. In front of him, an orderly shop and a continuous flow of people appeared in front of him...

Shui Linglong lost her pen and slumped down on the wide chair. She glanced around and realized that the white window paper had lost its transparent color. The candlelight flickered in the room, and her sister and brother were sitting separately. The head of the bed stared at her with piercing eyes, as if asking, what are you doing? Are you ignoring us? Hate!

Shui Linglong rubbed her sore eyes, walked to the bedside, took the two babies into her arms, kissed them on both sides, and smiled happily: "I'm sorry, mother will not neglect you next time."

The two babies were old enough to use their paws to pick off their clothes. Before Shui Linglong could finish her words, they started a battle for milk source. The sister was weak and couldn't grab the brother. When the brother pushed her, she tilted to one side. The sister's little face wrinkled and she cried loudly "Wow".

As soon as Brother took it in his mouth, Shui Linglong stuffed it into Xiao Xia's arms. The sister giggled and opened her little arms towards Shui Linglong. Shui Linglong hugged her sister and said angrily: "You little devil, you know how to bully your brother!"

The room was still the same, but there was one less person who hugged her every night. Shui Linglong was not used to it. She tossed and turned at night and couldn't fall asleep. She hugged her brother to her side again and looked at the miniature version of Zhuge Yu. Her heart tightened. I was shocked to realize that I was lovesick.

At dawn, my sister woke up and kicked her brother with her little feet. The brother was woken up and became angry about getting up. Then Shui Linglong was woken up.

 Shortly afterwards, Zhifan and Xiaoxia came in and helped her and a pair of little babies get dressed respectively.

 “Happy New Year, Crown Princess.” Xiaoxia bowed happily and was rewarded by Crown Princess. She got a generous sum of money and bought the best medicine for wounds. Now her husband can walk on the ground.
