Chapter 106
She took out a neatly folded handkerchief from her bosom, opened it, and a dark red needle-shaped grass from light to dark appeared in front of her eyes, Wen Lianxiang went to pick it up, in order to avoid suspicion, she purposely didn't touch it with her hands, just held the handkerchief The son looked at it carefully.

"This……"

"how?"

Seeing Wen Lianxiang frowning, Hua Zuili's heart was also a little apprehensive, but her face was neither showy nor leaky, and she only asked softly.

"It's true that this medicine is Lie Hong, but the color... seems to be too dark."

Hua Zuili was stunned: "How do you say that?"

Wen Lianxiang pointed at the tip of the grass blade and said: "Minnv remembers that although Liehong is red, the color is far from so deep. That kind of red is like a fire burning in winter, which makes people feel very warm, and this kind of... ..."

She paused, and said rather strangely: "Like blood, it nourishes people's soul and at the same time drains away... blood."

Hua Zuili was shocked. She came to Wen Lianxiang with a cautious attitude. The snake, the boulder that suddenly rolled down, and He Cheng who appeared to help inexplicably revealed strangeness everywhere. I planned to confirm it more. Okay, didn't expect to hear really shocking news.

She wanted to ask a few more questions, but she saw a little maid holding the door and looking at them anxiously.

"what happened?"

"Miss Hui is not well, Mr. He has come to the door with a betrothal gift!"

"what?!"

……

In the front hall, Wen's parents looked at boxes of luxurious celadon vases, simple antique calligraphy and paintings, and silver and gold bars that shone with gold.

They all looked at each other, Father Wen smiled gently and politely: "Nephew, you are..."

He Cheng replied: "Back to uncle, my nephew was overjoyed when he heard that the young lady had returned home, so he specially brought some small gifts to visit. If there is any abruptness, please bear with me."

There was hesitation in Father Wen's eyes, "It's not abrupt, it's just that my nephew brought a lot of gifts as soon as he entered the door, which made the old man confused for a while."

"Nephew, you and I are family friends. If you have anything to say, you don't have to be so polite..."

"Since that's the case, the little nephew will speak directly." He Cheng said politely, "I'm here for no other reason. I just want to ask Miss again, whether you want to marry me?"

"I do not want to!"

Wen's father and Wen's mother didn't answer, but a clear voice like a silver bell came from a distance, and He Cheng's expression was in a trance, when he saw Wen Lianxiang hurried over wearing a skirt with light clouds and butterflies flying together.

She held Wen's father and mother's hand, turned her head and saluted He Cheng, "Young Master He, I'm sorry, but I can't agree."

Wen Lianxiang refused quickly, but He Cheng was not discouraged by her cold attitude at all. He stepped forward, looked at her with burning eyes, and said softly: "Lianxiang, please allow Xiaosheng to call you that, Lianxiang, I know, We haven't seen each other very often, you don't know me well, so it's normal not to like me."

"But I really like you. When I saw you in the temple, it was firmly imprinted in my heart. I really want to marry you. This is not a joke. Give me a chance, but it is good?"

"Master He." Wen Lianxiang looked at him and said quietly, "Can you see the bun I'm wearing?"

After she asked, He Cheng realized that the bun Wen Lianxiang was combing was the bun of a married woman. His eyes were stunned, and it took him a long time to recover, "Are you...married?"

Wen Lianxiang gently stroked the tassels beside her ears, her eyes glowed softly, "Well, I'm waiting for him."

Wen's parents wanted to say something, but looking at their daughter's soft and beautiful face, they slowly suppressed the words they wanted to blurt out, and Wen Lianxiang was so addicted to her own memories that they didn't realize that what happened to He Cheng A flash of viciousness and sternness.

"So it turns out that I was slow..."

When he raised his head again, he had changed into an expression of chagrin and annoyance, shook his head slightly, and seemed to be muttering to himself, "I was thinking, if you agree, I will take the heirloom - Lie Hong , as one of the betrothal gifts, although it is not very precious, but it can show my heart, now I see, it is unnecessary."

Lie Hong...

As soon as these two words came out, it was like a drum hammer hitting Wen Lianxiang's heart heavily. She listened subconsciously, wanting to get more information from it.

"Oh, why not." He Cheng raised his head and said helplessly, "I set up a banquet in the mansion. I originally planned to invite my uncle and aunt to celebrate your return, but, heh..."

"Would you like to have a drink with me, even if it's for the final farewell."

Wen Lianxiang wanted to refuse without even thinking about it, "Mr. He, between you and me..."

"Lianxiang, have you ever waited for someone?" He Cheng interrupted her suddenly, "I have waited for someone, until the spring came and went, when the flowers bloomed and the leaves fell, I never cared about the loss of time , I just often sigh, why leave me alone to enjoy such beautiful scenery.”

"Lianxiang, do you know the pain?"

The man stood upright in the setting sun with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the sky, showing a sense of desolation and desolation.Wen Lianxiang's heart seemed to be aching, she didn't answer, she just stared blankly at the figure of the man, or looked into the distance through him.

The lovesickness that was suppressed deep in her heart was aroused by a word. At this moment, even her breathing was in pain.

"I know……"

How could I not know, because I am also waiting for the one who is looking for me...

"Master He." This was the first time Wen Lianxiang spoke to him in a gentle tone, "Okay, for this farewell, I'll go."

After hearing her words, He Cheng evoked an unpredictable smile.

……

However, she said she would go, but after Wen Lianxiang calmed down, she decided to take Hua Zuili and Fu Chengfeng to go together, and when Hua Zuili heard that He Cheng had invited her, she agreed after a moment of thought.

Arriving at the He Mansion is already stepping on the moonlight.

Lanterns are hung on both sides of the eaves.

He Cheng was surprised for a moment when he saw Hua Zuili and Fu Chengfeng, and then welcomed them with a smile.

Soon, a beautiful servant girl came forward with delicacies, such as salt and pepper anchovy shrimp, freshly fried sea cucumber, braised money abalone... and a series of delicacies.

Hua Zuili was in Shangjing, and she had seen all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas before, but when she saw these in a small town, she was surprised and even more thoughtful.

"Although it's not as good as the delicacies in Beijing, it's better than fresh. Come, let's have a taste."

He Cheng peeled off an anchovy shrimp and wanted to put it in Wen Lianxiang's bowl, but Wen Lianxiang quietly raised his hand to cover the bowl. This blatant refusal did not make He Cheng angry, instead he turned his hand away, Put it on the plate in front of her.

"Why don't you two eat?" He Cheng looked at Hua Zuili and Fu Chengfeng who hadn't moved their chopsticks, and suddenly remembered something shouting, "How can there be no wine when there is food, come and serve wine."

A pot of white jade porcelain vase was brought out, He Cheng stood up and poured a cup for the three of them one after another.
