Mistakenly Connected to the Jade Flower Branch

Qin Jiu took out another money bag and threw it to Nan Fei: "This is Brother Xu's one hundred taels."

Nanfei, with a money bag in each hand, approached Qin Jiu with a fawning expression: "Brother Jiu, think again, is there anyone else who said they wanted to give money?"

Qin Jiuliu and Lin Xu glanced at the group of people who were still in a daze, then fixed their gaze on Xuesong and said in unison, "Xuesong."

Xuesong's legs went weak, and he clung to Nianyao: "Chief, I have elderly parents in their seventies and three young children to support, but I have no money."

Nianyao realized what was happening and drew her sword in a fit of rage.

Nanfei dashed to the tea room. Luo An was resting with his eyes closed in the tea room.

Nanfei was more excited than ever before, humming a little tune as he counted his silver. Qin Jiu was the best accountant, keeping every penny accurate.

The thrill of counting money was indescribable. Nanfei counted the money several times, then happily divided it into bags of one hundred taels each.

A beautiful woman's smile is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and a gentleman's sitting posture is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Nan Fei clicked his tongue twice, stretched, and then remembered that Luo An was acting strangely: "Young Master, aren't you going to your room for a nap?"

Luo An didn't move or open his eyes.

Nanfei lay on the platform with his legs crossed, clutching his money bag, and started to sleep. Then, feeling uneasy, he placed the money bag under his pillow. Still feeling uneasy, he stuffed the money bag back into the pillow.

Sleeping with money under your pillow makes all the difference. Your dreams are filled with beautiful women: someone to massage your shoulders, someone to rub your legs, someone to offer you a cup, someone to feed you fruit, someone to play music, someone to sing, someone to dance…

The dancer in the middle is veiled? It's undoubtedly Lady Wenjun. Only she has such a slender waist and dances with such captivating charm.

He had arranged with Miss Wenjun to set aside time on the evenings of the sixth and seventh of each month. Oh no, he forgot to tell Miss Wenjun last month that the free clinic had ended; she's definitely still waiting for him.

The man jumped closer and closer, pushing aside the beauties around him one by one, turning to face him, and lifting his chin...

Her phoenix eyes were filled with affection, and her head lowered further and further...

Are you going to kiss him?

Nanfei leaned back, while she leaned forward...

Nanfei's voice trembled: "Miss Wenjun, I have..."

...The family...There was nothing to look up to, and Nanfei fell to the ground, chair and all.

Nanfei was startled awake from his dream.

In the dream of Huangliang, all the beauties were hazy, except for the dancer whose features were clear. Her phoenix eyes and noble air were very familiar, but it was not the Wenjun girl.

Good heavens, how could a general like her know how to dance and flirt? Has she changed her personality in just a few years?

Impossible, dreams are the opposite of reality.

Nanfei stared at the ceiling, his memory hazy, and suddenly he saw a head hanging in the air, staring at him...

"A ghost!" Nanfei yelled and rolled off the platform.

Nianyao straightened up and kicked him: "You're the ghost, daydreaming in broad daylight."

Nanfei snapped out of his daze and immediately hugged the pillow to his chest. The money was still there; the young master was terrified.

Nianyao snorted coldly, sat down opposite Luo An, picked up her cup, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Drinking like a whale?" Nan Fei hesitated, then said, "Chief Xue, that's Biluochun tea."

Nianyao said, "I also drank Biluoqiu, so what?"

It's his fault for trying to be sophisticated with such a vulgar person. Nan Fei got up and sat down next to Luo An, pressing the pillow against his back.

Luo An focused intently on the game, moving one move with his left hand and one move with his right.

Nianyao watched for a while and said, "Aren't you going crazy doing this?"

Nanfei glared angrily.

Nianyao said, "There's a martial art called Ambidextrous Fighting. I used to learn it, and I injured myself with my left fist and right palm. Isn't what you're doing the same way?"

Nan Fei said, "Chief Xue is exceptionally talented, far surpassing you, young master. They are naturally not comparable."

So many idioms? Nianyao's teeth gleamed white: "Thank you for your kind words, Young Master Nan."

Nanfei smiled and said, "You're welcome."

Nanfei is genuinely cheerful, the opposite of Luo An. If you don't argue, he's a handsome, sunny young man.

Nianyao unconsciously said, "What a pity..."

Should we continue? Nanfei wasn't afraid: "What's the pity?"

Nianyao said, "It's a pity you got married too early..."

Luo An was about to make a move when he heard this, so he stopped and looked up at her.

Nianyao looked Nanfei up and down: "You're quite good-looking."

"Just fine?" Nan Fei was about to speak when he saw Luo An turn to look at him. Although Luo An's expression was blank, Nan Fei felt a snake crawling down his back, sending chills down his spine.

Nianyao sighed: "Sometimes I'm quite envious of you..."

Luo An looked at Nan Fei, and Nan Fei looked at Luo An.

Not only was a snake crawling on her back, but it also bit him. What's wrong with her today? Has she lost her mind watching the young master's ambidextrous fighting?

Nianyao reached out and chopped down between them: "Hey."

The two of them turned to look at Nianyao at the same time.

Nianyao touched her arm: "In broad daylight, under the clear sky, two grown men gazing at each other with such affection, aren't they ashamed?"

Luo An and Nan Fei both turned their faces away.

"What perfect understanding," Nianyao scoffed dismissively.

Nan Fei, having regained his composure, poured himself a cup of tea and slowly sipped it: "Chief Xue, what's wrong with you today? So many thoughts?"

Watching the ships depart from the dock, I felt a heavy burden on my shoulders. The shipbuilding conference may seem to be going well, but once people's hearts have wavered, it's hard to regain their resolve.

Nianyao was discussing with the council members in the side hall that they would wait for Zhou Yan's message to arrive before starting to deal with the Jingjiang River, and the blockade of the Xiang River entrance would remain temporarily suspended.

Nianyao was preoccupied with her own thoughts. When she came to the teahouse, she saw Nanfei sleeping soundly with a smile on his face. Even after waking up, she was still reluctant to come back to her senses.

Nianyao said, "I think you are carefree and don't have to worry about anything. We are different. We have to earn everything ourselves, and we are not even sure we can earn it."

Nanfei said, "What do you mean by being carefree and having nothing to worry about? I have a lot of worries and I'm very concerned about things."

Nianyao said, "Tell me, what are you worrying about? What's bothering you?"

If you get angry before we even start, what's the point of talking?

Nianyao sneered: "Can't say it, huh? You're really taking your blessings for granted."

Drinking tea. Biluochun, no, Biluoqiu, it smells so good…

Luo An suddenly asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Nanfei turned his head to look at Luo An.

Nianyao said, "Don't look at him like that, okay? Be more discreet in broad daylight."

"I can't live like this!" Nanfei put down his cup, rested his chin on his hand, and stared into the void.

Nianyao said to Luo An, "Look at him..."

Nanfei said, "Don't look at me like that, be more discreet in broad daylight."

Nianyao was furious: "Can't we have a proper conversation?"

"Let him die." Nan Fei loosened his grip, and the man slumped onto the table.

Nianyao said, "...He comes from a wealthy family, with both parents alive, an elder brother and sister, a brother-in-law who is the crown prince, and a wife who is a general who sends him clothes on the appointed days..."

Nianyao grew angrier as she spoke: "Tell me, what makes you so special that you deserve all the love and attention? You don't even have the slightest sense of responsibility as a medical apprentice, letting the young master make money for you..."

Why go through all this trouble? Nanfei sat up abruptly, his back pressed against the pillow.

I haven't seen such a large sum of money in years. Nobody can even think about taking it.

Nanfei casually offered a word of comfort: "Chief Xue, you're doing well, Young Master is doing well too, everyone's doing well."

Nianyao said, "What's wrong with us? We've lost both our parents."

Today is auspicious for everything, except chatting.

As Nanfei was thinking, he heard Nianyao say, "You're wrong. His parents are both dead, while my father is a single man. I'm slightly better off than him."
