Chapter 2241: Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales

Upon hearing this, the proprietor hurriedly said with a sincere expression, "Look at what you're saying. Although my little shop is small and has thin margins, there's no problem at all with you and your brothers having a comfortable bath here, followed by a foot rub and massage upstairs."

Having said this, the proprietor wore a smile full of sincerity and continued, "Third Master, don't decline this time. In the future, as long as you patronize my place a few more times, it'll be enough for me to earn a little more."

Wen Sancao couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter, his mood improving even further: "Since you are so insistent, Proprietor, I naturally find it hard to refuse. If I were to decline again, wouldn't it make me seem too pretentious?"

The proprietor was also very happy. Being able to befriend Wen Sancao meant his bathhouse would be secure in the underworld from now on; no one would dare come here to cause trouble.

………………………………

At dusk, the entire sky was dyed in gorgeous colors, an interweaving of orange-red, golden-yellow, and pale purple from the setting sun.

As the sun gradually sank in the west, its originally scorching and dazzling rays became increasingly gentle. The afterglow spilled down like golden threads, gently caressing all things in the world.

After finishing dinner, Zhou Andong, Tang Lin, Gu Bing, and Zhang Zuo ran to the viewing platform in the back garden to drink tea.

This platform was very high. Standing on it, one could not only see the scenery of the entire back garden but also the vast expanse of red walls and green tiles of the Forbidden City.

At this moment, Zhou Andong held a cup of tea, standing at the edge of the platform, gazing at the Forbidden City, whose outlines were clearly defined by the warm light. Those green tiles flickered with a charming luster, like emerald gems inlaid on the palace roofs, shining brilliantly.

As time passed, the sunlight became softer and softer, creating a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere for the entire Forbidden City. Those green tiles seemed to be infected by this warm light, appearing even more moist like jade, exuding a unique charm accumulated by history.

The undulating roofs and the neatly arranged green tiles were like a silent musical score, telling of the storms, prosperity, and vicissitudes this palace had experienced.

This was the first time Zhou Andong had stood so high, and the first time he had gazed so earnestly and intently at the ancient palace complex before him. It couldn't help but remind him of that song that became popular all over the country in his later life—"Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales."

"This central axis of the capital, like a gentleman's integrity that never shifts, the glaze on the Nine Dragon Wall, history rises and falls from here..."

Zhou Andong sang softly, his gaze slowly sweeping across the magnificent architectural complex before him. The glazed tiles flickered with colorful light under the afterglow of the setting sun, as if a real dragon were about to soar into the sky.

Zhou Andong took a deep breath. If he were just listening to the song, he would only sigh, sighing that Fang Wenshan's lyrics and Wang Leehom's composition were truly awesome, and the song was very good.

But, when he was on the scene, truly standing here, looking at the Forbidden City under the setting sun, he deeply realized the magnificent momentum and grandeur of the Forbidden City. That soul-shaking feeling could never be described in words.

"What song were you singing just now? It sounds very good." Tang Lin stood up and walked over, standing beside Zhou Andong, looking up at the Forbidden City.

Zhou Andong raised his teacup and took a sip of the warm tea: "I was just inspired by seeing the Forbidden City and sang a few lines."

Tang Lin did not continue to ask, but said: "Last time I talked to Liu Zhanyong, after the underground pipe network was renovated and the underground parking lot was built, he started preparing."

"Now all the preparatory work on his side is ready. The day after tomorrow, construction can officially begin, and the underground pipe network and the underground parking lot will start construction at the same time."

"Okay!" Zhou Andong nodded: "But what needs attention is that people are already living in the house, so try to avoid overtime construction at night."

Tang Lin responded: "Don't worry, I mentioned this to him a long time ago. He also said he would make reasonable arrangements according to the actual situation, definitely ensuring that it would not affect the normal rest of the family."

Zhou Andong chatted with Tang Lin for a few more sentences. The sun had disappeared. Seeing that the time was about right, he greeted Gu Bing and Zhang Zuo, and the four of them came to the main entrance.

At this time, Wang Wentian and the others were squatting under the big tree at the entrance, puffing clouds and mist. Seeing Zhou Andong coming, they hurriedly stood up.

Zhou Andong waved his hand, then his gaze fell on Yu Zhan, and he asked: "How have you been getting along with Xiaohui during this time? I've been taking you running around all day, does she have any complaints?"

Yu Zhan didn't even think about it, immediately shaking his head and answering: "Absolutely not. Xiaohui is very understanding and supportive of my work, and she also respects you, Chairman, from the bottom of her heart."

"Respect?" Zhou Andong curled his lips: "You don't even know how to lie. Whoever respects me, she won't."

Yu Zhan gave a dry laugh, not daring to take this. No matter what he said, he would either offend the boss or his future wife.

"Sigh!" Zhou Andong sighed: "For your marriage, I, as a boss, have really broken my heart."

Yu Zhan just laughed and didn't speak. Zhou Andong glared at him angrily, then looked at Wang Wentian who was also squatting there.

"Wentian, have you seen your comrade-in-arms? What exactly is his idea?"

Hearing the question, Wang Wentian hurriedly moved a few steps toward Zhou Andong: "I went to see him last night and talked for more than an hour. He said, whatever the Chairman arranges, he will do."

Zhou Andong smiled slightly after hearing this: "That's good! Just do as discussed before. Let him serve as the deputy general manager of the Beijing branch of Jin Dun Security."

"Currently, the Beijing branch of Jin Dun Security is still in the formation stage, and I don't know many specific situations for the time being. Yao Jun will be here in these two days. When the time comes, let your comrade-in-arms meet him and have a good chat about relevant matters."

Wang Wentian asked: "What about the place to live, how to arrange it?"

Zhou Andong pondered for a while: "Wait for Yao Jun to come, see where the company address is, and then let you find Tang Lin to pick a house for their family near the Jin Dun Security branch."

"Okay!" Wang Wentian nodded in agreement.

"Daddy!"

Su Su appeared at the entrance of the alley with an ice cream in her hand, and Watching Lao Si followed behind the little girl with a large plastic bag in her hand.

"Run slowly!" Zhou Andong hurriedly stood up to greet her, then squatted down and hugged Su Su who rushed into his arms.

"Daddy, you eat!" Su Su handed the ice cream in her hand to Zhou Andong's mouth.

This made Zhou Andong very happy, and he opened his mouth to take a small bite.

"Is it delicious?" Su Su looked at her father, her little face full of expectation.

"Delicious!" Zhou Andong said with a smile.

Having received a satisfactory answer, a happy smile immediately appeared on Su Su's little face.

At this time, Watching Lao Si walked over and opened the plastic bag very generously: "Brother Wang, Brother Yu, Brother Lian..."

The girl called out a circle without even catching her breath: "Come over and eat ice cream."

Wang Wentian and the others were also used to it, and they didn't stand on ceremony, reaching out to take a piece of ice cream one after another.

Zhou Andong hugged Su Su into the courtyard: "Are you going to play with Fourth Aunt, or go see your sister?"

Su Su blinked her big eyes and looked at Fourth Aunt who also entered the door: "I'll play with Fourth Aunt."

"Go play with your Fourth Aunt."

Zhou Andong put the little girl on the ground and returned to the back cover building. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Jian Qiu breastfeeding the baby.

"Except for eating, it's pooping, or sleeping."

Jian Qiu rolled her eyes at Zhou Andong: "You were like this when you were this big."

Zhou Andong gave a "heh" laugh, then sat at the desk, pulled open the drawer to take out the manuscript, and wrote the four characters "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales" on it.

Just as he was searching for the lyrics in his mind while writing, Jian Qiu finished feeding the baby, walked over lightly, and stood behind Zhou Andong, leaning over to look.

"Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales?" Jian Qiu recited softly: "This landscape I start to write, the national bloodline is thousands of miles away, in the six hundred years of several centuries, the descendants of the dragon have experienced storms. This central axis of the capital, like a gentleman's integrity that never shifts, the glaze on the Nine Dragon Wall, history rises and falls from here..."

Zhou Andong finished writing the last character, slowly put down the pen in his hand, leaned his body back slightly, raised his arm to grab Jian Qiu's hand, pulled her to his side, and sat on his lap.

"After dinner, I went to the viewing platform in the back garden with Tang Lin and the others to drink tea. At that time, the sun had already tilted west, and the sky was rendered very gorgeous."

"The afterglow, like a golden gauze curtain, gently spilled on the roof of the Forbidden City. The glazed tiles on the Nine Dragon Wall, under the afterglow of the setting sun, flickered with colorful light, like nine real dragons wanting to break free from their shackles and soar into the sky."

"That soul-shaking scene made infinite emotions surge in my heart, so I wrote these lyrics. When I have time in the future, I will get the music out."

When saying these words, Zhou Andong's face was not red at all. No matter what song it was, if I wrote it, it was mine, which was called peace of mind.

Jian Qiu gently picked up the manuscript, her gaze focused again on the dense text, reading it carefully word by word again. She really liked it more and more, unable to suppress the surging emotions in her heart, she couldn't help but kiss Zhou Andong on the face.

"These lyrics are really great, I really like them too much, you hurry up and get the music out, let's sing it when we get married."

Zhou Andong said angrily: "We are getting married, do you think it's appropriate to sing this song?"

Jian Qiu also said it casually, then chuckled: "It seems a bit inappropriate indeed. You said you would sing to me when we get married, so have you written it yet?"

"Not yet!"

Zhou Andong shook his head. He wanted to make the wedding atmosphere better and sing a few fun songs. It's just that he couldn't think of what to sing for a while, and it had to be related to love.

"I want to give you an unforgettable wedding, I must make the atmosphere good, so I have to think about it carefully."

Jian Qiu turned sideways, stretched out her slender and slender fingers, gently pinched Zhou Andong's mouth, and then kissed him again.

"I'll wait for you to give me a surprise."

"As long as you don't think it's a shock," Zhou Andong said with a smile, then patted Jian Qiu's elastic and round buttocks: "Get up, I'm going to write a script."

"Script?" Jian Qiu asked suspiciously: "What script to write?"

Zhou Andong talked about the cooperation with Andy Lau: "This Prison Break is the first drama we cooperate with, I hope it will be a good start."

"My man's talent is known to all the people in China." The expression on Jian Qiu's face was indescribably proud: "The script written must be no problem."

Zhou Andong nodded shamelessly: "Wife, I just like your unpretentious, so honest appearance."

Jian Qiu also nodded: "Indeed, I have many advantages, but the biggest advantage is that I am not hypocritical and very sincere to everyone."

If an outsider heard this, they would definitely be very emotional. It's really not a family that doesn't enter a family. The faces of these two are so thick.

Zhou Andong's mouth raised slightly, and he let out a light laugh: "Wife, why do I feel that your face is getting thicker and thicker now?"

Jian Qiu also laughed. She stretched out her slender fingers and gently pinched Zhou Andong's cheek: "This is called being near ink and getting black. Sleeping on the same bed with a thick-skinned guy like you all day, it would be strange if my face wasn't thick."

Zhou Andong took the opportunity to grab Jian Qiu's hand, rubbed it on his face, and said with great emotion: "Wife, do you know?

In our Jiangzhou Winery, you are the white moonlight in the hearts of all men. I can see the eyes of those guys secretly looking at you.

Seriously, at first I didn't even dare to dream that the one who finally embraced the beauty was me. Sometimes I wonder, I must have saved the galaxy in my last life, so the blessings of this life came, and God gave you to me."

Jian Qiu gently hugged Zhou Andong's head in her warm arms, then lowered her head slightly, her eyes full of concern, staring at her man, and asked softly.

"What's wrong with you? Why do I feel you are a bit strange today?"

Zhou Andong shook his head gently: "Nothing, just suddenly remembered the days in the winery, and felt a bit emotional for a while."

Jian Qiu couldn't help but burst into laughter, rubbing Zhou Andong's hair hard: "I think, it should be that I saved the galaxy in my last life.

That's why God treats me so favorably, specially rewarding me with such an excellent, thoughtful good man as my husband!"

"Wife, don't say that." Zhou Andong's face rubbed against Jian Qiu's body: "I will be proud, if I really float, you won't be able to catch me."

"It's okay!" Jian Qiu said with a smile: "If you really float, I won't catch you, but send you away."

Zhou Andong shivered suddenly: "I'm joking, even if I float, I float around you. Even if there is a tornado, don't think about taking me away from your side."

"I'm going back to the bedroom to sleep."

For Zhou Andong's answer, Jian Qiu was very satisfied, raised her arms to stretch, and then yawned and returned to the bedroom.

Zhou Andong got up and came to the crib, looked at his old daughter, the little guy was sleeping so soundly, if you listen carefully, you can hear snoring.

Zhou Andong bent down, carefully kissed the little guy on the face, then returned to the desk and sat down, picked up the pen and wrote the two words "Prison Break" on the manuscript paper. ===== CHAPTER 2242 =====
