When she woke up, Lan Ting had already left, and she found a bright red peony in full bloom on her pillow.
He smiled and picked up the graceful peony. He was really a very competent lover and very good at pleasing women.
It's a pity that she doesn't like peonies. Peonies are too delicate and cannot survive without human care.
When she got it in her hand, she realized that the peony was not a real flower, but a fake flower that was made to look like a real flower. The gradient colors on the flower were all embroidered by the embroiderer stitch by stitch. Such exquisite flowers could not have existed in ancient times.
Sfumato technique.
Yanliu Fenghe saw that she hadn't come for a long time. After knocking on the door, he came in and helped her wash up. She took a bath again in the morning. Fortunately, she had the final say here, and no one dared to say anything even if she had to take a bath in the morning.
They discovered this peony and screamed repeatedly. They insisted on giving her a peony bun and wearing this peony. Looking at the graceful and elegant beauty in the bronze mirror, they said, "The eldest sister is born to be a lady."
Amid their objections, Manmei put on a human skin mask and said, "Good looks are only revealed when they are useful. What would a landlady who runs an inn do to be so beautiful? Are you afraid that evil people won't care about you?"
He reached out and plucked the peonies off his head and put them into the vase on the dressing table. "It's fine to look at it like this. I can't wear it now."
Yan Liu and Feng He looked at each other and then asked cautiously, "Sister."
Seeing their uneasy expressions, she remembered that she lived next door to them, and there might have been a loud noise yesterday. They probably heard it, but they were too embarrassed to ask, so they admitted directly and generously, "I have a lover, but I
I don’t plan to be with him, and he doesn’t want to marry me. He comes to see me occasionally, so don’t worry about it.”
Hearing what she said, Yanliu Fenghe's face turned red with anger, "How could he do this to Miss? Miss is at such a disadvantage."
She smiled and explained, "In this kind of thing, you and I are willing, and there is no such thing as anyone taking advantage. I am willing, and he also agrees with this kind of getting along. It is easy to get together and relax, but not too entangled. This is the life I like very much."
Way. I don’t need to rely on men to live. You may not be able to accept it, but this is the path I have chosen. I hope I can live according to my heart."
The two of them had always listened to her words. Seeing that she had spoken like this, they naturally didn't have much to say. They could only purse their lips and say nothing. Their disapproval was very obvious. Manmei had her own opinions. It would be nice if things were explained clearly.
, they don’t need to agree, this is the lifestyle they choose, and they are responsible for themselves.
Two more months passed, during which time neither Jiang Shang nor Lan Ting came back.
Yanliu Fenghe has always been obsessed with Jiang Shang and wants to bring Man Miao and Jiang Shang together. She can only explain patiently that this is impossible. Jiang Shang is not only a Yue nationality, but also a Jianghu person. They are completely two worlds. They can meet each other.
Even if it's a fate.
Naturally, a man with real power like Lan Ting would not have time to go to the border town of Lan Country.
She suspected that both Lan Ting and Jiang Shang came here because of Boss Huang's letter. She looked over and over, but found no sign that it had been opened. She didn't want to see what was inside. She had to have professional ethics at least, and she didn't want to be
Get involved in right and wrong.
In the past few months, no one has come here with the token. The letter and half of the token just lie quietly in the cabinet, never seen.
Manmei interacts with various customers every day and lives a very leisurely life. She can bask in the sun when she is free and keep her feet off the ground when she is busy. She likes this kind of life very much.
On this day, before she got up, Yanliu rushed in in a panic, "Miss, Miss." These two people have been shouting for more than ten years, and they are used to it. They still remember to call eldest sister on weekdays, and they are used to calling them when something happens.
The young lady suddenly appeared, and Yanliu opened her bed curtain, "Miss, our store is surrounded by officers and soldiers!"
"What?" Yanliu said again before she woke up. She didn't even have time to comb her hair, so she rushed out with her hair disheveled, wearing a human skin mask and a coat.
The guests of the inn gathered in the lobby and talked about it. The officers and soldiers didn't look like they were from Mocheng. The colors of their clothes and armor were different. They guarded the door with an indifferent expression, not letting anyone in or out, but they didn't rush in.
She was the boss's wife and had the responsibility to understand the current situation. She pushed aside the obstruction of Yanliu Fenghe, walked to the front, and asked the officer and soldier guarding the door politely and respectfully, "Soldier, what did the shop do?
Does the matter require Master Bing to come and take care of it in person?"
The soldier looked easy to talk to and shook his head, "I don't know. We were ordered to do this by the superiors. We are just not allowed to go in or out. We don't care about anything else."
She looked back at Fatty Liu. Fatty Liu pointed to her empty pole. He obviously hadn't gone to get the food yet, "Master Bing, the shop hasn't gone out to buy food yet. The customers have no food or drink this day. Please, Master Bing."
Open one side." As he said this, he handed over the small bag of copper coins that Feng He had just told him to prepare.
The soldier wanted to stop, but he glanced at his Shangguan from the corner of his eye. The Shangguan strode over and said, "Those who buy food can go out, but others can't leave."
She took a few more packets of copper coins from Feng He's hand and handed them one by one to the big soldiers and soldiers guarding the door, "Buy drinks for all the soldiers."
After those people accepted her, their attitude towards her became much calmer, at least they were not murderous anymore.
Manmiao stood by and chatted with them, and slowly learned a lot of things.
These soldiers came from the Lan State. This time the Lan State rebelled against the city guards of Mocheng and captured Mocheng without a single soldier. Then Shangfeng sent them to guard the inn.
Lan Country seems to be Lan Ting's country. The problem is, Lan Ting has already gone back. Why did he suddenly come back two months later? And he also occupied Mocheng. This place is almost a no-nonsense zone. It is beneficial to him to occupy it.
It's not much. In previous years, Blue Country wouldn't have bothered with this. Why did it suddenly hit my head this year?
This kind of high-level affairs has nothing to do with her little inn, but don't interfere with my business. What do you mean by surrounding me like this?
Thinking of Lan Ting's shameless face, I was so angry.
She also knew that she wouldn't have much chance of seeing Lan Ting again. She thought that she, an innkeeper's wife, would not even look at the concierge when she went to find him, so she might as well accept her fate.
Fatty Liu got permission and ran away with a pole. She told the guests that the entire Mocheng was now occupied by the Blue Army, and no one was allowed to go in or out, so they could just stay at the inn.
The merchants were quite polite when they saw these warriors. They just blocked the door and refused to let them in or out. They did not come in to extort property or anything like that. They all whispered to each other in the lobby to discuss countermeasures. She told Yanliu Fenghe to keep an eye on them while she went back to catch up on her sleep.
When I got up from sleep, I combed my hair again, brought a brass plum blossom hairpin, and got dressed. I went down and saw that the merchants were still in the lobby because they were eating, and the waiters were running around the hall.
The people serving food and rice were doing a good job, and the seats were almost full.
Yanliu Fenghe is also busy running around entertaining guests. It seems that he can make more money during the curfew.
He went to the kitchen to find Fatty Liu and asked him about it. Now there were Li Jun everywhere, and they were doing a lot of checking on the road. Fortunately, Li Jun, who was guarding the store, wrote him a note when he went out, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to go out to buy groceries.
When she returned to the lobby, she was planning to buy more food and vegetables to stock up. Who knew what would happen in the future? It would be too late when prices soared, so she might as well go in the afternoon.
As I was thinking this, I was suddenly hugged by someone.
