She watched as the tall young man jumped onto the horse.

Before the young man drove his horse away, he did not forget to turn around and nodded gently to her.

Then, without any need for her to respond, she rode her horse and disappeared into the night on the long street.

In the inner hall in the backyard of Dengtai Building, Chang Kuo and Meng Dongjia had finished drinking a cup of tea, and the shopkeeper brought over a checkout booklet.

Meng Dongjia took it, and the shopkeeper withdrew.

Chang Kuo put down his tea cup and yawned when he stood up.

Meng Lie also stood up, clasped his hands and smiled politely: "Your sincere favor is three thousand three hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver."

Chang Kuo stopped yawning and looked at him sideways: "What about the painting?"

Meng Lie smiled sincerely: "Didn't General Chang still say that he has enough of these three melons and two dates?"

"You want to take it for free?" Chang Kuo stared: "What are you daydreaming about!"

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at the checkout book held in the other person's hand: "More than three thousand taels? You really dare to speak! You don't even give me a small change. I think you are crazy about doing business. You are not one of our own."

Already?"

There were only two people here, so Chang Kuo had no scruples when he spoke: "You have no children, how can you not worry about making so much money?"

"That's wrong." Meng Lie lowered his voice and corrected: "It doesn't matter whether I earn more or less. In the final analysis, I was just ordered to guard the tower for His Highness."

"Don't use His Highness as a cover." Chang Kuo snorted: "Who knows that this Dengtai tower now belongs to you Menglie."

Meng Lie's voice became lower and his tone became slower: "When His Highness left fifteen years ago, I promised to wait for His Highness to come back, and I should keep my promise to the end."

Chang Kuo originally wanted to choke him, but seeing his demeanor, he swallowed it back.

The two of them were suddenly silent for a moment.

It was Chang Kuo who finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "Stop saying stupid things."

Lao Meng was different from him. He was used to the battlefield and had seen a lot of life and death. He had a clear distinction between life and death, so he never had any unrealistic ideas.

Meng Lie returned to his usual demeanor and said with a smile: "Your Highness will do what he says."

Chang Kuo looked at him intently and suddenly asked: "Lao Meng...are you hiding something from me?"

Meng Lie put his hands into his sleeves: "I have nothing to hide from you."

Even if there is, does he want to hide it? In Wujue's words, this is called a secret that must not be leaked... It's God's business, can it be called concealed?

"Chenghui three thousand three hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver." He said again.

"Sure!" Chang Kuo nodded happily, and then said in a generous tone: "I'll charge you four thousand taels of silver for that painting!"

Meng Lie: "?"

"This jade pendant of yours is good, it can be worth a hundred taels!" Chang Kuo casually took off the jade pendant from his waist, turned around and left: "The rest will be recorded in the account first, and I will leave it for my daughter to come to your place for snacks!"

Meng Lie was so angry that he chased after him: "...You are a tough guy, I should have left this Dengtai Tower to you to take care of in the first place!"

After Chang Kuo led Chang Sui'an and Ah Dian out of the Dengtai Building, the purse containing the banknotes around his waist was not deflated at all, but instead had an extra jade pendant.

"Today Ning Ning's painting is left here, but my father can't even use the banknotes he prepared!" Chang Kuo looked at his daughter with relief: "My daughter's paintings are worth a fortune!"

Chang Sui Ning was surprised: "All meals and drinks are free?"

"Yes." Chang Kuo nodded with a smile and said helplessly: "This Meng Dong family is also a real businessman. Not only did he not ask for money for drinks, but he also gave me a jade pendant. I won't accept it!"

Meng Lie, who had just chased him outside the restaurant, heard this and resisted the urge to yell.

But when he saw Chang Kuo's children looking at him, especially the stupid son who had the words "Meng Dong's family is a good man" written all over his eyes, and several passers-by whose eyes were attracted by Chang Kuo's words, Meng Lie could only squeeze out a trace of anger.

He smiled and raised his hand towards Chang Kuo: "General Chang, walk slowly..."

Chang Suining: "..."

Will she be able to come to Dengtai Tower next time?

…

After returning to Changfu, it was almost Zishi.

Ah Dian had fallen asleep in the carriage. Chang Suining shook him when he got off the carriage, and he said drowsily: "Little Ah Li, I'm too sleepy, please carry me..."

Chang Sui Ning took one look at his mountain-like figure, feeling unsatisfied and even less powerful: "...let's wait until I can get the Zhan Xiu first."

After saying that, he went to scare people again: "If you don't get up, I'll let you sleep in the carriage. No one will care about you when it thunders at night."

Hearing the word thunder, A Dian opened his eyes dimly, but suddenly moved his nose, got closer to Chang Suining and took a sniff.

"What?"

"Little Ah Li..." he said with hazy eyes and some curiosity: "Why do you seem to have the smell of the sun on you? It smells just like His Highness."

Chang Kuo, who had just dismounted, heard these words and turned to look at the carriage whose curtains had been raised by Xi'er.

The girl in the car raised her hand and sniffed her sleeve: "It's just the smell of alcohol. Is your Highness a drunkard?"

Chang Kuo looked at the girl's hazy silhouette in the car and suddenly frowned in surprise.

At first glance...

Does it really look similar?

Why haven't you noticed it usually?

But if you say there is a resemblance, you can't explain why...

When Chang Kuo was wondering, Chang Suining had already dragged Ah Dian out of the carriage and saw him standing in a daze, "Dad?"

Chang Kuo regained consciousness and smiled: "Go in!"

It was very late, but Chang Kuo still led a pair of children to the study to talk.

Chang Kuo also had doubts about the origin of the picture of a girl with red beans.

Chang Suining motioned to Xi'er to speak.
