The forty-fourth section returned to the Wang Mansion with joy

  The cinema was fully booked at noon, no empty tickets, couldn't buy a seat, and there weren't any good movies to watch, so the energetic group of people rode their bikes with the girls towards the sacred Hami, heading back to the Wangfu.

  The Wangfu is located in the Huiyuan Township of Hami City, opposite to the Hami History Museum. As a large-scale Uyghur palace rebuilt, it represents the supreme glory of the Hami Huiwang Dynasty's rule.

  "So domineering, majestic! " Xuan Sheng stood at the door and took out his camera to take pictures everywhere.

  "Have you bought the tickets? Do we need a tour guide and interpreter or what?" Chen Zhiquan yelled loudly, turning his head from the ticket window.

  "Nonsense! Of course I will!"

  Luo Er and Xiao Xuan went to store the items they had just bought at the mall, while Li Chao used his hands as an umbrella, standing in the scorching sun to block the sun for Ruo Yun.

  Before long, Chen Zhiquan, who had obtained the ticket, led a group of Uyghur tour guides over, all of whom were young women.

  Jet-black braids, deep and profound eyes, clear-cut features, a proud figure, a tall stature, dressed in ethnic finery, wearing a small flower hat, with each smile intoxicating the heart.

  Lu Xiansheng was the only one who didn't scold Zhiquan for flirting with women, instead he kept taking pictures with his camera.

  "What's the point of having so many tour guides?" Lí Luòér looked at them in confusion.

  "Of course, it's a tour guide! But just looking around is also great, it feels like being in a foreign land, this atmosphere is really rich!" Chen Zhiquan said with a smile.

  Shen Xiaoxuan was a bit unhappy, but thinking about it, he had many ethnic minority friends and classmates since childhood, but Chen Zhiquan was different. No wonder he liked him, not seeing each other every day, anyway, the result of enduring or not is just this, might as well be happier.

  Luo'er smiled helplessly and followed the tour guide sisters into the Wang Mansion.

  Returning to the Wang Mansion, there are countless pavilions and buildings. The main gate is a combination of Chinese and Western styles, with flying eaves and carved beams, topped with green glazed tiles. Such architecture was rare in the Qing Dynasty 200 years ago.

  There are hundred-year-old trees everywhere in the Wangfu, and walnut, poplar and elm trees are even more densely forested. There are several small gardens that have a Jiangnan water town feel, with delicate design, mainly composed of flower halls and pavilions, various flowers competing to bloom, red and white, attracting butterflies and bees to dance. "This is where the empress and the queen's ladies-in-waiting usually rest! It was designed by the Qing Dynasty palace craftsmen." The tour guide sister introduced.

  "If I could live here all my life, that would be great!" Luo Er said enviously as she gazed at the beautiful scenery of mountains, water and fields.

  "These are all royal palaces and noble residences, don't even think about it! Wake up!" Xiaoxuan shook Luo'er's dazed eyes with her hand.

  "What's impossible? Our Lu family may not be that big, but developing a building like this isn't difficult at all. At worst, we can just build another courtyard! However, this matter depends on what the future Madame Lu says. My uncle will only think we're crazy if we say it!" Chen Zhiquan looked at Lu Xiangsheng who was already infatuated with Wang Fu and didn't hear what he was saying, so he dared to tease Li Luo'er.

  "What era is this? You're still calling me 'young lady', you're the one who's crazy!" Li Lu'er fiercely threw a sanitary napkin.

  "Alright, follow me to the palace of Emperor Wang and Empress Wang!" A team of tour guides stood on either side, leading the crowd.

  "Sorry, this palace is not allowed to be photographed!" The tour guide wearing a peony flower hat blocked Xuan Sheng's camera with his hand.

  Xuan Sheng nodded and put away his camera, listening to the tour guide's account of the anecdotes and heroic deeds of this king.

  At this time, a Uyghur auntie came in with the well-dried king's costume and queen's costume, saw someone, and enthusiastically greeted them in Mandarin with a Uyghur accent: "Hey, young men, young women! Take a photo? Wear the king's costume and queen's costume, take a photo as a keepsake! 20 yuan! 20 yuan... not expensive..."

  Chen Zhiquan suddenly became excited, almost pouncing over, and took a set of Uyghur clothing from the vendor, "Hey, come on, one for each person, let's wear them as a keepsake. I've always dreamed of traveling back in time to become a prince since I was young, this time it's a ready-made opportunity, look~this one even has a whip!"

  Yue Yun glanced at Li Chao, and the two of them walked over together.

  Chen Zhiquan put on a set of military uniform that he thought was the most domineering, imitated the posture of a wax figure, and sat on a stool in the side hall, making everyone laugh loudly.

  "Xiao Xuan, come here, put this on and sit with me. Otherwise, it's too boring for me to be alone!" Chen Zhiquan handed over a set of bright red military uniforms to Xiao Xuan.

  Xiao Xuan looked at this fiery red dress, feeling a bit embarrassed, but in her heart she was overjoyed.

  "Put it on, it matches!" Luo Er helped Xiao Xuan put on his hat and fixed his hair.

  Watching Ruoyun and Lichao also rushing to take photos, the two of them shoulder to shoulder in intimacy, Li Lu'er smiled bitterly, the loneliness and loss she had always felt surged up again, full of sourness.

  Lu Xuan Sheng picked out a traditional wedding attire and handed it over to Luo Er, "Come on, let's just go with it?"

  Luo Er knocked over the dress that Lu Xiang was holding in his hand, stunning everyone.

  Looking at Luo who seemed a bit flustered, Lu Xiangsheng let out a breath, picked up the dress and patted it, laughing: "What's wrong? Scared someone to death!"

  Luo'er came back to her senses and hastily received the dress, entering the adjacent side room.

  Lu Xiansheng handed a few brand new banknotes to the Uyghur aunt, who was delighted and gave him a thumbs up. The tour guides looked at Lu Xiansheng and whispered to each other, saying this handsome guy is so great.

  Li Luo'er watched as Lu Xiangsheng put on his formal attire directly in the hall and walked out slowly.

  "So beautiful~" The crowd couldn't help but shift from Lu Xuan Sheng's topic to Li Luo Er.

  Lu Xiansheng walked over and took Luo Er's hand, only to find that her palms were already cold with sweat. Lu Xiansheng put his arm around Luo Er's waist, standing in front of the threshold, side hall, merit certificate, and battle map, letting the Uyghur aunt take pictures everywhere.

  "20, 40, 60, 80, 100...... Lu Xuan Sheng, that's enough, so much money!" Li Luo'er whispered and pinched Lu Xuan Sheng's palm.

  "Alright, let's take one last photo, a group shot!"

  Under the command of Chen Zhiquan, Lu Xiansheng and Li Luer took a dignified group photo with a strong sense of age. However, Chen Zhiquan was not satisfied and felt that something was wrong, so he began to negotiate with the Uyghur tour guides. In the end, everyone couldn't get around Chen Zhiquan's persistence and had to take another group photo.

  Li Chao carries Yu Yun on his back, Chen Zhiquan lies on Shen Xiao Xuan's leg, Lu Xiang Sheng holds Li Luo Er, a group of Uyghur girls stand in a line on both sides, and the Uyghur mother presses the shutter at that moment, the whole scene bursts into laughter.

  Looking at the photos that had been washed out, the three girls ran away in embarrassment.

  "Hey, monster, I've got something good, want to take a look?" Chen Zhiquan waved his mobile phone in front of Lu Xiangsheng.

  "What else have you done that can't be seen in the light?" Lu Xiangsheng laughed and said.

  "Didn't they say no photos allowed? I secretly took a lot, especially of you and Lí Luòér's various moments, various ambiguous ones. Want them? Clearly marked prices, 200 per photo, quick payment!" Chen Zhìquán handed over his phone to Lù Xiǎngshèng.

  Lu Xiansheng quickly flipped through the album, only to find that there were more photos than usual. Looking at Chen Zhiquan's sly smile, he laughed and scolded: "Sht, when did you have this hobby!"

  "Let's just say it, do you want to or not?" Chen Zhiquan smiled eerily.

  "Nonsense!" Lu Xiansheng tossed his mobile phone to Zhiquan, slung his camera over his shoulder and strode forward in big steps, ready to catch up with the group.

  The sun gradually sets in the west, and a burning cloud appears on the horizon, setting the entire sky ablaze with red, as if it's on fire, casting a reddish glow over the entire city of Hami.

  The leaves turned red, the river water turned red, and even the little lamb that played with its owner turned bright red.

  Luo Er stood under the fiery sunset, watching Lu Xiang Sheng approach from afar. Only then did he truly notice that beneath his beautiful appearance, he also hid a heart like the fiery sunset, red as fire, which had come on fiercely and was already spreading towards him.

  "Let's have some barbecue before heading back!" Lu Xiansheng rarely took the initiative to eat out, usually following Luo Er or Chen Zhiquan's suggestions.

  "Alright, going straight down is the big crossroads, where there's a famous barbecue street! Let's go eat there!" Luo'er jumped onto the car and tightly grabbed Lu Xiangsheng's sleeve.

  "Li Luo'er, what's good to eat?" Chen Zhiquan carried Xiao Xuan and chased after them, as soon as he heard about food, he had a full body of energy and passion.

  Luo'er thought for a moment and ignored him, giving Shen Xiaoxuan a glance, letting her handle it.

  "What a big cross! The delicious ones are gone! Hand-picked meat, hand-picked rice, yellow noodles, roasted meat, roasted fish, lamb waist, lamb chops, beef tendon... and many more, too numerous to count!" Xiaoxuan thought about it and felt a little hungry.

  "It's so great, I just love Xinjiang! Delicious food, passionate girls, Hami ~ I really love you!" Chen Zhiquan excitedly let go of the handlebars and shouted along with the warm wind. Xiao Xuan was frightened and screamed all the way.

  Li Luohua's hatred for Chen Zhiquan was so intense that he gritted his teeth and fiercely pinched Lu Xiansheng.

  Lu Xuan Sheng endured the pain and turned his head to ask: "What's wrong? Are you involving innocent people?"

  The boy didn't say a word, secretly smiling to himself. Suddenly, he felt a warmth in his heart. For someone as cold and proud as him to allow himself to be bullied was an incredibly delightful thing.

  Arrived at the big cross, the whole street was filled with smoke and flames from barbecue stalls. The enthusiastic shouts of Uyghur young men calling out to customers were as enticing as the smell of roasted meat and cumin.

  "Order whatever you want to eat, today there's only one rule: neither men nor women are allowed to drink!" said Lu Xiansheng.

  The two children looked at each other with wide eyes and nodded in unison.

  Li Chao secretly stepped on Chen Zhiquan's foot, and Zhiquan immediately understood the meaning. "Alright, I won't drink beer or white wine, a fruit soda will do!"

  Xuan Sheng laughed and said.

  Uyghur handsome guy brought all kinds of roasted meat, roasted fish and skewers, fragrant and tempting.

  "Here you go!" Lu Xiangsheng took out a gift box from the packaging bag and pushed it to Luo Er.

  Li Lu'er didn't even open it, just shook her head.

  "If you don't accept it, I'll have to follow you for 16 hours a day, except when you're sleeping, to keep an eye on you and make sure I can get in touch with you..." Lu Xiangsheng said, stopping at the right moment.

  "Are you trying to keep me captive?"

  "How could I? You see my current status in your family, is it possible?"

  Everyone around was fanning the flames, and Luo Er had no choice but to open the box...
