Candy cubes crackling

Longxiang Hotel.

It's almost the end of the new year, and the business in the store is idle, and the guys take turns to take leave and go home to do rice goods.Yang Sixian hugged the tea mug and looked more lazy all day long, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and napped at the front desk.Just when he was meeting Duke Zhou, the three female guests who had entered the city came to the counter, spilled a handful of silver dollars, and fell on the table with a jingle.

This string of crisp and crisp sounds made Yang Sixian tremble in his dream. He leaned on the chair half awake and half awake, suspecting that he was thinking too much about getting rich.Just as he was thinking, he heard the table being shaken again. Yang Sixian opened his eyes and looked in a panic, but saw two black girls standing across the counter with tiger faces, and glanced at him with dissatisfaction.

After seeing Lu Liuyun and the others off along the way, the beautiful woman walked around the commercial street, dazzled by the European-style concrete buildings.After a lot of searching, the driver got off the car in front of the relatively traditional Chinese Longxiang Hotel.

"What is your surname?" Yang Sixian opened the door to do business and neglected the guests, stood up from the chair embarrassingly, and reached for the check-in registration form.

"Isn't it just to settle down in the city, and bring a family?" The black girl who patted the table just now glanced at the registration form, her face a little displeased.

"Miss, it's not that I mean to make things difficult for you. Now in Tianjin, all regular hotels have to register their names. Firstly, it's for the sake of safety, and secondly, it's for the convenience of service. Don't you think so?" Yang Sixian listened to her His accent is not like that of a local, and he patiently explained with a pen in his hand.

"There are so many rules." The black girl said dissatisfied.

Yang Sixian was a little embarrassed by her robbing, put down the pen and rubbed his hands, but also lost his mind.He thought for a while, and when he was about to throw away the convention and get their house number directly, the beautiful woman walked up and pointed to the check-in registration form on the table and said, "This foreign pen is not easy to use, please ask the shopkeeper to write a few for me." Character."

Yang Sixian got her rescue, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He couldn't learn the smooth business skills of his old man, and he didn't know what to do when he met customers who didn't show favor.

Seeing him bow his head, the beautiful woman opened the book and reported her name, "The shopkeeper remembers Nie Linghong."

When Yang Sixian heard the name, he stopped writing. Nie Linghong just assumed that he was not sure how to write, and stretched out a finger to show him on the table.

"Thank you, madam." Yang Sixian took a quick look at her, nodded, and copied the words "Nie Linghong" on the check-in form, secretly thinking that he was too suspicious.

Seeing that Nie Linghong was easy to talk to him, the black girl reluctantly stepped forward and said her name to Yang Sixian, "Zhong Su, Zhong Qiu."

Nie Linghong asked him to open a small apartment, and the three of them did not live separately.After Yang Sixian wrote down the check-in registration form, he gave a few instructions to the three female guests, and then handed over the house number plate to them.When people were about to go upstairs, Yang Sixian saw her dressed as a foreigner, at first glance she found it strange, but at second glance she looked familiar, so she couldn't help but glance twice more.Little did they know that the sleepy look and the furtive look forced Nie Linghong to remind her, "Zhong Su Zhongqiu, look at your luggage."

These tactful words awakened Yang Sixian who was full of curiosity. He scratched his head and looked away embarrassedly.So, the three female guests quickly left the front desk and went straight up the stairs with the bags in their hands.

The suite they stayed in was on the third floor. The Zhong sisters opened the door with the key hanging on the door number plate, and said with a smile, "The name of this hotel sounds like our inn."

Nie Linghong nodded noncommittally, sat by the bed and touched the peony-embroidered quilt on it.She didn't know that Longxiang Hotel was jointly opened by Nie Pingchuan and the Shen family, and she thought the same as what the Zhong family sisters thought, and she just thought it was a coincidence.

The small suite is equipped with a separate bathroom. The Zhong sisters went in and took a look. They were surprised at the running water pipe on the washbasin and the shower hanging on the bathtub, "There are also ready-made hot water pipes here."

Seeing the fresh energy in the two of them, Nie Linghong smiled without saying a word, sat on the sofa chair to rest for a while, and started to pack her luggage.She doesn't take many things out when she goes out, and clothes can be bought ready-made, as long as she has enough money.The square blue cloth baotou was spread out on the bed, and a watch wrapped in a handkerchief was stuffed inside.

The case of the watch is very old. It seems to be an old item that has been around for a long time, but it is well preserved. Except for the clockwork that is not working, everything else is still intact. If you take it to the hardware store for repairs, How much can I take out and use again.Nie Linghong rubbed the cold watch strap with her fingertips, feeling a little uneasy.

"Sister Hong, I caught a few trains overnight, go in and take a bath and have a good rest." Zhong Su saw that she was troubled again, lightly pushed Zhong Qiu beside him, walked to the front and said.

Nie Linghong nodded when she heard this. She has to go out to meet guests today, so she has to take good care of herself.

In the afternoon, Marshal Lu sat in the study and fiddled with the radio. The button to select the channel was inconvenient to adjust, and there was a crackling sound of electric wires coming from the speaker, which shocked the old housekeeper who suddenly entered the door.

"Master, outside..."

"Wait a minute." Marshal Lu interrupted him with his head down, put his myopia glasses on the bridge of his nose, and concentrated on adjusting the radio. However, after a long time of fiddling, it still didn't work. Except for the sound of electric current, there was almost no one. Normal movement came out.The old butler thought, if someone else's master is at home drinking tea and teasing birds, this one is good, he only competes with foreign things, he is really a unique and powerful person.

Marshal Lu sighed silently as if resigned to his fate, put the malfunctioning radio into the drawer, turned to the old butler and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Seeing that he was done with his work, the old butler respectfully handed over the post, saying that someone from outside had come to treat him.This happened so suddenly that Marshal Lu heard about it, put the radio on the table, and said with a stern face, "Grandma, what kind of good guy, you don't need to notify in advance when you want to treat me, just run over to find bad luck, old man Can you give me this face?"

Hearing this, the old butler, with a cautious face on his face, stepped forward and said, "Who says it's not, it's really impolite, I originally tried to persuade people to go back, but the person outside said that you would definitely Going to the appointment, there is really no other way to be entangled in those words, so I can only come in and report."

Marshal Lu snorted, but didn't answer.The old butler judged the situation and saw that he didn't drive himself out, so he stepped up to Marshal Lu and said, "The real master in the car didn't show his face, it was two big girls with braids coming down from the back seat to pass the words."

"Oh?" Marshal Lu became interested when he heard this. "It's strange for two big girls. I haven't dealt with these romantic people recently. Go and invite them in to talk."

"This...the one who said it was inconvenient to enter our house." The old butler said this, made it difficult for Marshal Lu, and continued, "I guess it's your old friend."

"What troublesome stuff, you came to the door to bargain." Marshal Lu cursed bitterly, took off the myopia glasses on the bridge of his nose, and went out complaining.

At that time, Nie Linghong was sitting in the car and saw Marshal Lu coming out of the house. He raised his wrist and straightened his clothes before pushing the door down to meet people.Face to face, the two prepared people were a little uncomfortable, Nie Linghong was flustered, and Marshal Lu was surprised. All in all, they stumbled.

"Marshal Lu, long time no see." After a while, Nie Linghong heaved a sigh of relief and bowed his head to greet him.

Marshal Lu didn't need to dodge her gaze at this time, he responded dryly with "Yes", standing there at a loss for what to do.He was so at a loss for a moment, and continued to say dryly, "Let's... find a place outside if we have something to say."

Hearing this, Nie Linghong raised her head and brushed the broken hair from the side of her face behind her ears, and replied, "That's fine."

After the two reached an agreement on their goals, Nie Linghong took the special car of the Lu Mansion and followed Marshal Lu into the box of the Shenghua Hotel.

"It's not easy for you to come to Tianjin this time." Marshal Lu went to the table and pulled out a chair for her, and sat down opposite Nie Linghong without looking sideways, his tone pretending to be calm.

"Come if you want, and no one can stop you." Nie Linghong paused, then continued, "Actually, there is nothing to worry about. My roots are there, and I always have to go back."

Hearing what she said, Marshal Lu couldn't continue to exchange greetings. The two of them clearly didn't say anything, but they both remained silent.After a long time, Marshal Lu coughed, rubbing the smooth mouth of the cup with his fingertips, and felt the warmth of the porcelain wall, "Linghong, if you don't tell me, I probably understand why you came. Nie Pingchuan wants to fight against me. ..."

"Marshal Lu misunderstood. Nie Pingchuan's position is different from mine. I just want to ask you to let him go." Nie Linghong gave a wry smile and interrupted him.

"That kid is..." Marshal Lu followed closely behind and asked her.

"Our next heir to Shenshui Village." Nie Linghong raised her head and looked at Marshal Lu with a cold gaze. She deliberately avoided what the other party was thinking, and said the words to death directly, leaving no room for others to explore .

Nie Linghong's attitude was so clear that Marshal Lu was too shy to ask.He silently sat on the chair and poured himself a drink, and stopped the unhappiness in his heart in time before he got hurt, "Since that's the case, when you go back later, you just go directly to the commander's mansion and take him away."

"Okay." Nie Linghong responded, and did not continue the conversation. The topic between the two of them should be brought to an end.

After returning home, Marshal Lu kept his word and asked Nie Jinchen to be brought over as soon as he arrived at the door.When the two met here, Nie Jinchen called out "Mother", and Nie Linghong said "Mmm", deliberately avoiding Marshal Lu's gaze.

Marshal Lu heard this, turned his head and took a deep look at Nie Linghong, then turned and walked into the gate.His mood was very restrained, he didn't ask more questions or argue, as if he had drowned his thoughts in a calm lake.He remembered the day when he was resting in Yunnan, when he lay on the haystack and raised his eyes, there was only faint sunshine in the broad blue sky, not even a single extra cloud.

After leaving the Lu residence, Nie Jinchen called Nie Pingchuan at the Longxiang Hotel and briefly explained the situation to him.Nie Pingchuan knew that Nie Linghong had arrived on the other end of the phone, and felt a little surprised.Nie Linghong has been out of the world since she gave birth to Nie Jinchen. This is the first time she has walked out of the Buddhist hall in 20 years, and she came to Tianjin as soon as she left.

Thinking of this, Nie Pingchuan quickly set off from the villa in the middle of the mountain and went down the mountain to Longxiang Hotel to meet the mother and son.Knowing that he was coming, Nie Linghong sent Nie Jinchen up to the third floor, and sat in the tea room on the first floor to wait.

As soon as they met, Nie Pingchuan saw Nie Linghong's displeasure, he froze the smile on his face and froze in place.

"Master Nie, what do you want to teach my son to be like? He is the next Patriarch of Shenshui Village, not an ambitious seed who followed you to Tianjin to share with the wolves." Nie Linghong came prepared this time , already had an insight into Nie Pingchuan's purpose from the news brought by the informant.She may not be a mother who is close to her son, but when she saw Nie Jinchen standing in front of her with many scars, she still couldn't help feeling distressed.

Nie Pingchuan saw that he couldn't hide it from her, so he simply didn't talk about the empty talk of getting away.He raised his hand to loosen the tight collar, with a embarrassed face, "Don't worry, girl Hong, Jin Chen is a good boy of our Nie family. As my uncle, although I am the father's adopted son, I still have Nie in my heart." The family's kindness will never harm him."

"Oh, really?" Nie Linghong raised her eyelids after hearing this, her gloomy eyes fell on Nie Pingchuan, and said in a cold tone, "Brother Nie told me what he said, that's all. A stubborn brat, ask yourself, is it appropriate to use him for those people who spend so much time thinking about it?"

When Nie Pingchuan was questioned by her, he smiled helplessly, "To this day, you still have Lu Jinhe in your heart... Forget it."

After he said "forget it", he said nothing more, silently put the hat he had taken off on his head again, turned around and passed Nie Jinchen who walked into the door.

"Mother, did you quarrel with your uncle?" Nie Jinchen frowned, watched Nie Pingchuan walk out of the gate of Longxiang Hotel dejectedly, and asked Nie Linghong.

Nie Linghong was sitting on a chair, his chest heaved a little bit by what Nie Pingchuan said before he left, "Jin Chen, don't hang out with him, let's go home."

Nie Jinchen thought about his uncle, and saw his mother's palpitations in his eyes. He was in a dilemma for a while, and stood there silently bowing his head, saying neither good nor bad.
