Huge crowd

Just like that, Lu Zheng swaggered into Xiaobailou with his suitcase in hand.

At first glance, this small white building looks like a practical and simple improved Chinese style. The floor is covered with black black bricks, which is dignified and elegant, without the complicated piles of carved dragons and phoenixes. The "Baijiawu" where Zhuanxi's family gave away chairs.

At the entrance, there is a small grilled drawer for guests to temporarily store clothes. It is mottled second-hand furniture. A simple handmade plum blossom frame is hung on the drawer, pasted with simple and elegant pale yellow dried flowers. It understates the beauty of Jiangnan, but perfectly hides the small building. distribution box.The large living room of the B & B follows the pattern of "round sky and square place". The round ceiling echoes the warm and moist ancient wooden rectangular banquet table, which seems to be quite elegant, but no two identical chairs can be found.Pedal organ and "Flying Man" sewing machine are designed as floral arrangements, clothes hangers and ladders made of dead wood branches are wrapped with ivy, old bamboo mats are cut into circles to make tea mats, and there are also painted ones. Fishing lights and cement vases with missing corners.

All the objects seem to be handcrafted from local materials or randomly moved from neighbors or relatives, but upon closer inspection, they are almost all handicrafts made with care.

Light strips are hidden in subtle places such as grilles and grooves, creating a layered and light and dark atmosphere.There is a faint fragrance in the house, the green field outside the window is shady, and there is a lot of white space inside the house. The pure white walls are projected by the moonlight on the mottled shadows of the sunflowers and snow willow branches in the clay flower pots.

Lu Zheng looked around and said from the bottom of his heart: "Your handicraft design here is not simple, I can't see that you are quite talented."

Gu Yuxie followed behind without looking sideways and replied, "Your room rate is 660 per night, and the deposit is 1000."

"Ah?" Lu Zheng turned around in doubt, and found that Gu Yuxie had disappeared on the stairs, leaving only the sound of clear water ticking in the elegant water system landscape beside the stairs, leaving Lu Zheng as an "uninvited guest".

With his photographic memory, Lu Zheng memorized the phone number of the homestay landlord on the promotional page. After adding Gu Yuxie's WeChat account, he transferred 1 yuan to the owner of the homestay with a wave of his hand, "uninvited guest" Obtained the right to be legalized by money, shamelessly wanted to live for half a month.

Lu Zheng went upstairs alone, chose a large suite to live in, and called Yu Guifu while undressing.

Lao Yu was slapped by his hands-off shopkeeper, "Zhengfu" stared at his buttocks and pulled the hair up and down, and finally turned his bald sheep into a yellow-skinned monkey. Yu had a meeting with his financial advisors in the middle of the night, and when he came out of the meeting room, he looked like a dehydrated man just fished out of a pan silk hole.

"No, I said ancestor, when will you come back, I have been fighting with my aunts until now, if you don't come back, I will die from exhaustion."

Lu Zheng smiled, opened the online Sudoku game, and said while playing: "I've only been away for a few hours, why are you so careless?"

"The annual report and investment analysis conducted by Jiaer led a team for 'Pingyuan' last time. After discussion with their management, they felt that it was not consistent with our analysis. Their management seems to be more pessimistic. We are re-examining the parameter assumptions here. And the competition report."

Lu Zhengwo stretched his legs on the cotton sofa in the guest room, pointed at the game and filled in the numbers one by one, and said: "Their executives are all experts. If we insist on thinking this way, we may have missed something important. Risks, and... You pay attention to whether the management is deliberately conservative, and see if 'Pingyuan' has any motivation to adjust its performance and make further capital market moves. Send me the information later."

"Okay, I'll tell them now."

"Wait, Lao Yu," Lu Zheng called to stop him, "Take some time to help me find out the origin of Yunyun's creditor."

Yu Guifu: "What's the matter, it's not going well? This will force you to play tricks behind your back, this kid is capable!"

Lu Zheng: "Then what should I do? Give me some advice on how to force him to sell the garden to Cai Yiran."

"Father, you misunderstood me, I am a gentleman."

"Okay, then next time you have business with demons and goblins, you honest gentleman go drink and deal with them."

"No, it's not like you don't know that I'm congenitally deficient and my liver is very tender. Let me think about it... this matter..." Lao Yu finally choked out two words after holding back for a long time——

"make trouble!'"

"Troubleshooting? Tsk... how?"

"Disrupt their business, make him unable to make money and think the garden is a burden, why don't they just sell it."

Enlightened, Lu Zheng whistled excitedly: "I'll send you the name of an advertising company later, and you can do something for me tomorrow."

The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone. Lu Zheng just finished a round of Diagonal Sudoku with a single-minded focus. The opponent was defeated. Lu Zheng glanced at the call time, 6 minutes and 20 seconds, the condition is not very good, Probably because he hadn't been immersed in the ocean of numbers all day, Lu Zheng felt uncomfortable all over. He immediately clicked on the report form sent by Lao Yu and quickly went through a few data.

The phone rang again, and Yu Guifu sent a piece of information - "Practical Tips for Growing Flowers and Trees".

Lu Zheng: "..."

Gu Yuxie just said something under the tree, let it bloom and sell him the tree.

So Young Master Lu sat upright and opened the "trick" in a serious manner. After 2 minutes, he fell down on the sofa and fell asleep.

In the garden at the end of March, the breeze is soft, quiet and fragrant.

Magnolia layering, camellia grafting, canna branching, smiling jasmine beating old leaves, rose peonies fertilizing to accelerate germination, and budding of earings are all scrambling to be the first. Warm and sunny.

Lu Zheng spent two full weeks in the garden acting like an uncle, doing only two things a day, which were either an eyesore or suspicion.

On the first day, he replaced the agarwood in the hotel building with broken mosquito coils and stuffed them into the incense burner, which made the building full of smoke. He also replaced the insecticide with detergent and poured it into the spraying equipment. Uncle Liu chased Man Yuanzi and howled all afternoon.On the second day, the screws of the pruning equipment and tools in the whole garden were unloaded; on the third day, the fine seed seedlings in the breeding garden were served in one pot; on the fourth day, all unopened flower buds on the Rose Peninsula were pinched; A handsome guy from the company introduced him to the daughter of Aunt Wu who was in charge of cleaning the garden. Aunt Wu took three days off to accompany her daughter on a blind date. The garbage in the garden was almost piled up like Everest.

I didn't do anything else for the next few days, and was busy being chased and beaten by Gu Yuxie with a hoe all day...

Seeing that Lu Zheng paid enough room fees for three more months, Gu Yuxie finally didn't hit him hard. In addition, "Yun Yun Hua Jian" is in the promotion period of the garden holiday homestay, if it is rumored that the first Rumors of a group of customers calling out... Just thinking about it makes Master Gu exhausted physically and mentally.

A few days later, "Yunyun" held an outdoor wedding. The gardeners arranged the original and romantic forest scenery in the grove early on. Gu Yuxie sat at the long table in the small white building and tied fresh-cut bouquets.

Before and after breakfast, the advertising company we cooperated with brought over the first batch of finalized leaflets, and Gu Yuxie opened them to take a look...

"Lu Zheng!" Gu Yuxie kicked open the door of Lu Zheng's room on the third floor, and grabbed him from the bed, "Did you create the flyer!"

Lu Zheng was in a daze and was yelled into a dementia: "What?" He took a look at the leaflet and smiled muffledly. Old Yu's efficiency is quite high.

"Yunyunhuajian" is working with a small advertising company. After finalizing the design and color of the promotional page, Gu Yuxie paid the final payment and arranged for the advertising company to start printing, but was blocked by Lao Yu, who bought the advertisement in advance with a huge sum of money. The boss of the company took Gu Yuxie's original black and white leaflet as a final draft and printed thousands of copies.

—— "Ding", when the two confronted each other with staring eyes, Gu Yuxie's mobile phone received a bank refund message, and the boss of the advertising company refunded the design and printing fees paid by Gu Yuxie.

Early in the morning, he was thrown money all over his face, and the garden owner Gu who was unilaterally "changed the regime" was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Lu Zheng rolled up the quilt and rolled back on the bed, pointed his ass at Gu Yuxie, and said stickily, "Oh, why don't the leaflets be invalidated? It's okay, let's print them again. Hey, I know quite a few design companies. , let me introduce you?"

The "Yunyun Huajian" B&B is already in the trial operation stage. There have been guests staying in the past two days, and they are waiting for the promotional leaflets to be used. It is uncertain how long it will be disturbed by Lu Zheng again and again.

Lu Zheng thought that Gu Yuxie would have to scratch him like a shrew, but the imaginary storm did not come, the room was quiet, Lu Zheng opened his eyes and turned around suddenly.

This turn almost met the tip of Gu Yuxie's nose, and the two got very close, just like when Lu Zheng hugged him and fell to the ground in front of the garden gate that day.

The white gauze curtain by the window floats to the head of the bed in the morning breeze, and the emerald green bird-of-paradise leaves in the concrete square basin reflect a golden morning glow, as if rushing all night, traveling thousands of miles just for this delicate moment in the morning.

Lu Zheng opened his mouth silently, looking at Gu Yuxie's dark circles under the eyes and dry lips, his heartbeat suddenly became violent for a moment, and he asked incoherently, "I've been forgetting to ask you, you How old is this year? Are you 30?"

Gu Yuxie: "........."

Lu Zheng: "It's not easy to recover when you're old and stay up late, and it's easy to get a stomachache when you get angry, so it's not worth it."

"I really have nothing to do with you." Gu Yuxie rolled his eyes at him, got up and left the room.

Garden owner Gu seemed really angry.

Lu Zheng washed up and went downstairs in a hurry, only to find that Gu Yuxie had already left the small white building, and the workers were making arrangements to pack the house-full bouquets he had tied up and transport them to the grove.

Judging by the quantity, Gu Yuxie probably woke up to work early this morning.

Lu Zheng remembered the current financial situation of Gu Yuxie, which he had calculated based on the size of the garden, the types of flowers and the operation situation in the past two days-according to his current ability to make ends meet, it would be difficult to repay his debts, so he should have no money to find someone with credit and ability. A good advertising design company, this brochure should be finalized after he participated in the design for a long time.

But there were only black line drawings on the thick stacks of leaflets in the corner, and even the icons of the QR code and the booking applet were black and white, which looked really unlucky.

Using three melons and two dates is a waste of other people's hard work. Lu Zheng rubbed his head, thinking that he might have done too much.

In the grove deep in "Yunyun", birds chirp, willows are blown by the breeze, Astilbe is planted in the half-shade of the sparse forest by the river, and a large area of ​​pink is blooming, and the white gauze stained with burning red is sweeping in the gurgling river. On the soft and fluffy grass, there are golden spots of sunlight.

While the newlyweds were still rehearsing for the wedding, Gu Yuxie sat on a wooden table and chair in the woods, lowered his head and carefully wrote the seat card by hand.

Lu Zheng sat down on the wooden bench from behind. There was so much movement that Gu Yuxie rubbed his writing elbow—"Ms. Li Li" was written as "Ms. Li Li".

Gu Yuxie: "..."

Lu Zheng took a stack of seat cards and pens in his hand, rubbed his nose and said, "I'll help you write."

Lu Zhengduan was sitting right next to him, looking down at the list and carefully copying the names of the guests on the seat cards. His cursive calligraphy was very beautiful, vigorous but free and easy, written several sizes larger than Gu Yuxie's block letters, and His uninhibited and playful personality is very suitable.

Gu Yuxie glanced at it and said, "You are really like a person."

"As handsome as me?" Lu Zheng didn't look up.

Gu Yuxie snorted coldly: "Shameless like you."

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I think you're praising me."

Gu Yuxie let out a sigh from his chest, folded his arms around his chest and leaned on the back of the wooden chair, looking at the couple in front of him who seemed to be kissing in the forest of four seasons, and murmured: "Five years ago, under the magnolia tree I have also held several outdoor weddings. The smiles on the faces of the couples seemed to be painted with the peach color of magnolia flowers. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen them for a long time...I always feel that every time I watch them rehearse, it’s true. When we arrived at the wedding venue, it was all for the guests to see. The variety of rose bouquet in the girl's hand means in Chinese, "Wish to win the hearts of the people, and the white head will not be separated", but how many people can really stay apart Leaving, there will always be one who breaks his promise and leaves first."

"So you don't believe in love or marriage?" Lu Zheng continued to write with his head down.

The purple buds and red flames in the spring glow, and the radiance under the tree are like sharp scissors cutting open the memory, Gu Yuxie only smiled helplessly: "It doesn't matter, it's all the same, anyway, the tree was five years ago It hasn’t bloomed since the beginning, and with the black and white leaflets you specially provided, Yunyun probably won’t be able to receive orders for outdoor weddings in the future, although this business is quite profitable.”

Lu Zheng stopped writing: "I..."

"It doesn't matter," Gu Yuxie said, "I know what your plan is. It is your ability to force me to sell the garden, and it is my ability to force you to leave. We each rely on our own ability."

Lu Zheng tilted his head and glanced at him, a gust of wind suddenly blew through the forest, and the broken hair on Gu Yuxie's forehead was covered with fine petal crumbs, Lu Zheng seemed to be unable to hear what Gu Yuxie was saying at all, he couldn't help it Getting closer, he raised his hand to remove the petal from Gu Yuxie's hair.

Even Lu Zheng himself felt dazed, and Gu Yuxie was even more at a loss as to dodge slightly backwards.

Lu Zheng looked into his slightly startled eyes and said with a smile, "Go on."

"say what?"

"Why doesn't the magnolia bloom?"

Gu Yuxie stopped talking, and Lu Zheng stared at him, but continued to write cards blindly in his hand.Gu Yuxie was afraid that the expensive custom-made perfume cardboard would be ruined by Lu Zheng, so he could only reply: "My mother passed away five years ago, and the spring of the year she passed away was the last spring when this magnolia tree bloomed."

Lu Zheng: "..."

Gu Yuxie: "As for my dad, in order to let him bloom again, he has spent his life on this tree for the past few years. He has been greedy to serve it from morning to night. He has never cared about other things in the garden, and his debts are increasing. , more and more dead branches and dead leaves, but Mulan never bloomed again, and he left first."

Lu Zheng: "So...the reason why you refuse to sell this tree is because..."

Gu Yuxie: "I said, if you can make it bloom, I'll sell it to you, and I've also explained to my dad."

Lu Zheng smiled wryly, nodded, and said, "Understood, we all have to be dutiful sons." As he spoke, Lu Zheng took out a blank seat card and wrote two lines of words "shua shua".

After Lu Zheng signed the bottom of the card, he handed it to Gu Yuxie: "Sign it, do what you say."

"'When the magnolia blooms, then...'" Gu Yuxie couldn't read any more, and stared at the card with a dozen or so large characters, leaving only the big part of his fingernails for his signature.

Gu Yuxie was still so angry with this guy that his stomach hurt from early in the morning. He had no choice but to sign his name next to the big characters "Lu Zheng" that were flying up. The more he looked, the more he looked like a small Like a daughter-in-law. .

He threw the card back to Lu Zheng, who glanced at it, whistled in satisfaction, and put the card into his trouser pocket.

In the woods, the wedding march sounded, and Gu Yuxie asked the workers to take the seat cards and stick them on the backs of the wooden benches lined up, ready to get up and leave.

"Hey wait a minute," Lu Zheng took out the top card from the worker's hand, and immediately said to Gu Yuxie, "Then what... about the promotional page, I was wrong."

Gu Yuxie rolled his eyes at him: "If you want to apologize, why don't you help me send out all the leaflets."

"Yes, no problem. Do you have any other orders, Boss Gu? Anything that can make you feel better."

Gu Yuxie was not polite: "Break 60 coils of mosquito coils, help Aunt Wu clean up the garbage, and help Chunlai with homework, you choose."

"I choose? Heh, you are trying to beat me to death." Lu Zheng said, "Okay, I won't choose. I'm an adult and I want it!"

Gu Yuxie pointed to the card in Lu Zheng's pocket, and said, "Lu Zheng, just signing this card doesn't mean I'm afraid of you. The flowers bloom and the flowers bloom. Before the flowers bloom, just let the horse come over. Let's see." Which one of you can survive." After speaking, Gu Yuxie left the warm and romantic wedding scene without looking back.

The lines of the Secondary School II were probably pushed by Lu Zheng.Looking at Gu Yuxie's back, Lu Zheng took out another seat card that he had just buckled and held it to the tip of his nose to smell it.

On the seat card, he stared at Gu Yuxie's face and wrote "Gu Yuxie" blindly. The smell was a mixture of heavy wood and pen and ink.

Mmm... it's delicious!
