I came back to my senses and hurriedly waved my hand and said, "You're welcome, General. I was on my way in a hurry and didn't prepare any dowry, so I don't need to pay the dowry. The general can just take it home with me."

Guihai Yun Kai shook his head gently with a gentle smile, "Whether she prepares a dowry is the lady's business. Whether to send a betrothal gift or not is not only Yun Kai's private matter, but also involves the reputation of the entire Guihai family. However, cross-border marriages do not

The Guihai family cannot afford the betrothal gift, which means getting both people and wealth, so please make sure to accept it, Miss."

His reasoning was specious. Although I felt it was inappropriate, I couldn't refute it for a while. When I came to a strange new place, it would be good to have more money to accompany me. This betrothal gift was probably a drop in the bucket for the Guihai family. I also

There is no need to pretend to be aloof and evasive, and since I am marrying into his family anyway, the bride price will naturally follow me into his family and will not be leaked out. If he is pretending to be generous, it can be considered as scheming, but if he is really generous, it is a rare pride.

My mind was spinning, I smiled and nodded and said, "Thank you so much, General. I would rather obey Amber's orders than to be respectful." I turned to look at Ling Zhou, "It's okay anyway, so I'll ask my little brother to get the dominoes, and let's play and pass the time.

"

Lingzhou nodded obediently, got up and went out, and returned after a while holding a small box of exquisitely carved sandalwood. When he opened the wooden box, a soft gleaming light immediately appeared, and seven or forty-nine ivory dominoes were warm and smooth to the touch.

There are no flaws at all, and it looks very valuable at first glance.

Guihai and Yunkai, Xiaoliu and Lingzhou were together. The four of us were divided into two groups. The gameplay was a bit like playing cards on Earth, but much more complicated than that.

I have no memory of playing this kind of dominoes, but I know the rules. It should be something that happened during that period of time that I haven’t fully remembered yet.

Guihai, Yunkai and Lingzhou are very good at playing. Although Xiaoliu is not very good at playing, he is still much better than me. I play completely randomly. In Xiaoliu's words, the three of us are a team.

I'm an undercover agent in their group.

People on earth often say that if you want to know a person's nature, you should look at gambling and wine.

Guihai·Yunkai's gambling products were extremely good. No matter how badly I played, he would always smile and say nothing without a word of complaint. He would try every means to turn things around so that our loss would not be so ugly.

In the end, after three rounds, Lingzhou Xiaoliu won two to one.

It was close to dawn at this time, and it was the darkest period on the eve of dawn. Xiaoliu couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep on the table.

I asked Lingzhou to help carry Xiaoliu to the bed to sleep for a while. Lingzhou was afraid that Xiaoliu would wake up again, so he sat down next to the bed and helped her keep vigil.

Guihai Yunkai and I were the only ones left at the table, and we were relatively speechless, which was a bit embarrassing.

The candles were flickering, and the room was dimly lit.

Neither of us said a word. One of us lowered our heads to read a book, and the other played cards alone. Gradually, it became a bit quiet.

When someone inadvertently raised his eyes, he saw that his tall and strong face was much softer by the candlelight, his blue eyes were as warm and penetrating as the autumn sky, and the shadows formed by his thick long eyelashes were like the shadows of clouds that occasionally fell into the heart of the waves, gently chattering.

The trembling slowly changes.

He gives people a very gentle impression, not like a general galloping on the battlefield, but like a gentle scholar, a humble gentleman as gentle as jade.

I propped my cheek on my hand and couldn't help but feel a little lost. People in ancient times all married blindly and silently, and a lifetime passed in a blink of an eye. The person in front of me had good features and a gentle personality. He was not particularly outstanding, but the important thing is that he was not outstanding, which made me feel real and safe.

Because I don't love him, I don't care. If I really marry him, hide in the city and completely forget all the love and hatred, it may be a good choice.

He felt my gaze, raised his eyes slightly, and our eyes suddenly met, and we couldn't help but be stunned. He is not unhandsome, but because I have seen too many top-notch handsome men, I don't think he is outstanding, but

His pair of blue eyes are extremely beautiful, transparent but bottomless, pure and deep, like the clear blue sky, the vast sea, and the boundless vastness, no less than any other person's eyes.

He turned his eyes away without any trace, pretending not to notice my unreasonable attention, and lowered his head gracefully to continue playing with the ivory dominoes.

Not only did I nod secretly, but looking at his performance today, if he was not pretending but had a true temperament, it would be an extremely rare character and temperament. He could be described as a modest gentleman and one of the five good men, even in the 21st century, he is rare to find on earth.

I gathered my mood and continued reading. I don’t know how much time passed, but the first ray of dawn finally appeared in the sky.

I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hold on anymore and would start to fall asleep, so I hurriedly woke up Xiaoliu, asked her to get up and wash up with me, and then returned to the car to catch up on some sleep.

We walked like this again and again, and soon more than ten days passed, and we arrived in Landu in three to five days. During this period, there were no major disturbances, and some small things were easily resolved by Guihai Yunkai.

, don’t worry about it at all.

The scenery along the way is becoming more and more beautiful, with rivers and lakes crisscrossing each other, and the area of ​​​​water is gradually larger than the land. Towns and cities are built along the water. Some pavilions and pavilions are simply built on the water. The green water surrounds the white walls, and the shadows of clouds are cast on the green.

There are tiles, embankments hazy in the mist and rain, elegant and unique small bridges, and the bridges are connected to the water in the distance. Walking among them, you feel like you are in an ink landscape painting, and your worries disappear and all your favors and disgrace are forgotten.

Qise, October 8, 362, at night.

Our group entered an extremely prosperous city - Linxi City.

Linxi is one of the seven famous cities in the Blue Kingdom. It is built around Chenhu Lake. In the morning, the sun shines on the lake, and the lake reflects the colorful glow. Because of the morning glow, the people also call it the colorful morning glow, so Linxi City got its name.

Linxi is rich in Xiguang brocade. Because the weaving and dyeing methods are very complicated, a weaver girl can weave two or three pieces in a year, so it is very expensive and cannot be used by anyone but a wealthy family.

The Guihai family not only opened a branch of Tianyi Seamless Treasure Shop in Linxi, but also had a large brocade shop. The Xi Guang brocade produced in the shop was also called the treasure of Xi Guang Brocade. Most of them were supplied to the Blue Royal Family, and the rest were

The next small part is sold to the royal clothing bureaus of the other six countries at a high price. Even the queen of the Aragai female tribe orders dozens of them every year.

In addition to the shop Jinzhuang, the Guihai family also has a house in Linxi. The house is located on the west bank of Chenhu Lake. It is built near the water on three sides. Although it is not very big, it is exquisite. Every brick, tile, beam and column is like

After a lot of thought, the pavilions and walls, winding corridors, small bridges, flowing water, and lotus ponds are really beautiful everywhere and full of scenery.

I fell in love with this house as soon as I walked in. I was filled with joy and admiration as I walked around, without noticing that I was getting further and further away from everyone.

The cold fragrance ahead hit my nostrils, and I couldn't help but go looking for it.

At the end of the winding path, there is a light blue wall, an arched courtyard door with glazed wall tiles, and the three characters "Lanyu Garden" are engraved on the door plaque. The handwriting is brilliant, the pen is like a dragon, and the iron hook is cut into the wood. I don't know who has this.

Handwriting.

Entering the Blue Jade Garden, I couldn't help but be dazzled. I saw the garden full of blue plums in full bloom. The branches were covered with frost and snow. The little blue plums were like blooming on the branches of the jade tree. The beauty is indescribable.

.This place is called Lanyu Garden, and it is most likely that it got its name from this blue plum.

At the end of the plum forest is a small building with six sides and eight corners. The glazed tiles on the roof are not the blue commonly used in the blue country, but vermilion, which is reflected among the jade trees and blue flowers, adding a third of warmth. Eight strings of vermillion hang down from the octagonal eaves.

There was light in the red palace lantern but it was not swaying in the wind. I was used to seeing rare treasures and I immediately understood that the palace lantern contained not candles but night-glow pearls.

Eight strings of palace lanterns, each with seven lanterns and seven or eight fifty-six luminous pearls, are hung casually in the courtyard under the eaves like this. It is such a grand gesture. No wonder people say that the Gui Hai family is so rich that it rivals the country. It seems true from this point of view.

What he said is true.

"Wow..." Xiaoliu, who followed me into the garden, couldn't help but exclaimed, "Miss, can we stay here tonight? This garden is so fragrant and beautiful..."

"I'm afraid this is an owner's land, otherwise I wouldn't have arranged it so carefully." Although I like it very much, but looking at this scene, I know that this is definitely not an ownerless deserted garden. Not only does it have an owner, but the owner's status must be high.

Otherwise, the fifty-six luminous pearls would not be hanging here.

"Grandma has a good eye. This Blue Jade Garden is our master's bedroom. This blue plum forest was also transplanted by our master from the psychedelic forest of the wood elves. Not only the blue plums, but also all the flowers and plants in this villa.

The family owner spent a lot of money to buy the trees from the wood elves, and every flower and grass is extraordinary." Lingzhou's voice sounded from behind us.
