[Lu Xiaofeng] Hidden Forest of Flowers and Leaves

When Huamanlou heard what Han Yexin said, he looked a little melancholy.He took out a scroll, brushed it lightly with his fingers, and sighed: "Actually, I don't know who this friend is."

Han Yexin regained his spirits immediately and asked, "Why?"

"People around me always tell me that this is the book that my best brother carved for me, but I don't have such a memory at all."

"Maybe your memory is wrong."

Hua Manlou smiled faintly, and put the slip back: "Maybe."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk anymore, Han Yexin thought about it and said, "I think this person's handwriting is the same as yours. He must be very familiar with you."

Hua Manlou's expression was a bit strange.He turned around and faced Han Yexin: "Mr. Han, if there is someone you don't know who has been watching you secretly, and he can clearly read your handwriting, wouldn't you feel disgusted?"

Han Yexin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Hua Manlou to think so.It's no wonder, because he doesn't have any memory about that "friend", and hearing so much from other people, it's inevitable that he's a bit rebellious.

But you have to avenge yourself.

"No... no. I think he just cares about you."

Hua Manlou smiled slightly, the strange expression just now seemed to have never appeared before.

"Just joking with Mr. Han. In fact, I cherish this friend very much, although I never know who he is. In the books he engraved for me, there are always many words of encouragement for me, although some of them are really childish."

Han Yexin coughed lightly, and turned away in embarrassment.At that time, he had no scruples with Hua Manlou, even if he was angry and called him a mud monkey, he had engraved it on it. Now that Hua Manlou sees it, he must be very uncomfortable.

"By the way, do you know Miss Yuchi is gone?" Hua Manlou asked.

Han Ye said in his heart, "I heard movement."

"Mr. Han is really big-hearted. Didn't you say that she took a lot of money from you?"

Han Ye thought to himself, no amount of money is as important as staying by your side.But just thinking about these words made him a little embarrassed, he tilted his head and coughed: "...Money is something outside of the body."

Even he himself thought it was false.

Hua Manlou smiled, and said, "Let's go to her room and take a look."

When the two came to Yuchiying's rent, Huamanlou even knocked on the door, but no one answered.The door was locked from the inside, but it didn't bother the two of them at all.

Hua Manlou's hand moved lightly on the door lock, and with another push, the door opened.

Moonlight shines in through the window.Sure enough, the girl was no longer in the room.

There was a table under the window sill. Han Yexin walked over and saw a piece of letter paper on the table, and beside the letter paper was a blue package.Han Yexin opened the package and saw that his handful of gold leaves were inside.

He picked up the letter paper and looked at it, and said to Huamanlou: "Yuchiying left and left the money. I said, my money is clean." Huamanlou took the letterpaper and brushed it with his hands , chuckled and said: "Although money is innocent, people are not innocent."

Han Ye was startled: "What do you mean?"

"This child followed you all the way, but you ignored her, so she had no choice but to take your money, and you ran after him. Isn't it true that money is innocent, but people are not innocent?"

Han Yexin was surprised and said, "Seventh Young Master, you are talking nonsense."

Hua Manlou smiled and put down the letter paper.

"She entered this small building to hide from you. After seeing you, she was not afraid at all. Does she look like being hunted down? She has a chance to escape tomorrow morning, but she still stays here. Isn't it just to be with you?" together?"

Han Yexin shook her head quickly: "That doesn't make sense. I think she stayed here for you."

Hua Manlou said: "No matter who it is for, she is gone now."

"Are you a little disappointed?"

Hua Manlou shook his head.He frowned suddenly, picked up the letter again, and sniffed it at the tip of his nose.After smelling it, he flicked the letter paper with his hand and said, "Is there anything else painted on it?"

Han Yexin leaned over.This is a piece of pine flower paper, with peach blossoms and swallows painted on the lower right corner of the letter paper.

When Han Yexin saw Yanzi, his heart skipped a beat.However, this is an ordinary pine flower paper, which is not particularly strange.He told Hua Manlou what he saw, but Hua Manlou's expression did not relax: "This piece of pine flower paper has a unique fragrance, but I haven't smelled this smell on Miss Yuchi."

Han Yexin knew that Huamanlou's sense of smell was never wrong.If this piece of pine flower paper did not belong to Yuchiying, who would it be?

"As far as I know, the pine flower paper sold on this street doesn't have this smell."

Hua Manlou put down the letter paper, full of worries: "I'm afraid Miss Yuchi didn't leave on her own initiative."

Han Ye thought, "If she didn't leave voluntarily, did someone coerce her to leave? But I didn't hear anyone enter this small building."

Hua Manlou said: "Me neither."

"So you mean, someone asked Yu Chiying to leave this building, and Yu Chiying left this clue as a last resort? Then where did her letterhead come from?"

Hua Manlou shook his head: "I think it's better not to think about it anymore. Miss Yuchi should be safe."

Even though Hua Manlou said that, she still seemed a little worried.After all, he really suspected that Yu Chiying was in danger.

Han Yexin sighed softly, and said, "Well, I'll go out with you for a walk tomorrow morning. Maybe there will be some clues on the street?"

Hua Manlou smiled: "So there will be Mr. Lao Han."

Han Yexin thought to himself, he was not polite.But even if he didn't accompany Huamanlou, Huamanlou would still inquire on his own, so there was nothing he could do?Now that you are willing to take yourself to the streets, you should be grateful.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little sour.It was getting late, and after a while, it would probably be dawn.The two closed Yuchiying's room door and went back to their rooms to rest.

In the early morning of the second day, Huamanlou got up really early.Han Yexin had long been used to light sleep, and woke up when she heard movement.The small building in the morning is different from that at night.But Han Yexin didn't look carefully, and walked straight to the table.There are already several small dishes on the table, a large bowl of porridge with a lid on it.

Han Yexin looked at these and frowned, "Did you not sleep last night?"

Hua Manlou shook his head and smiled: "I always get up early." He lifted the lid of the bowl and filled a bowl of porridge for Han Yexin.Han Yexin took it, but became more and more worried about Huamanlou's schedule.He did get up early in the past, but that was when he got up early to practice swords, but now he gets up early to cook porridge...

"Why don't you even bring a servant?" Because he was worried, the better the porridge was cooked, the more he lost his appetite.

Hua Manlou served porridge for herself and said, "Since I want to prove that I can live well by myself, why do I need to bring servants?"

"At least they can help you with your laundry, cooking and cleaning your house."

Hua Manlou said: "These are not difficult things."

"But it took a lot of work."

"If I still bring my servants, it's just a willful move out of the house. It's better to live at home, to be filial to my parents, to be happy, so that they can feel at ease."

Although he understood what Huamanlou did, Han Yexin was still a little worried, or rather reluctant.He can only think, that's all, let me take care of him in the future.

But how to make Huamanlou accept him, this, I don't think about it for now.

Hua Manlou's craftsmanship can be said to be very good, and he himself is very proud of himself: "I learned this vegetarian dish from Master Bitter Gourd, and it's the first time I've used it to entertain others."

Han Yexin wanted to make Huamanlou happy, so he hurriedly said, "It tastes so good." In fact, he hadn't had any hardships in these years, and he didn't pursue food at all.

Hua Manlou was really happy to hear what he said.Instead, he stopped his chopsticks and picked up the serving chopsticks to serve Han Yexin some dishes.Naturally, Han Yexin didn't shirk, he ate all his brains, and said some words of praise.He knew that Huamanlou had a very weird temper sometimes, and he would get angry if he said something wrong.Those words of praise made several twists and turns in his stomach before he said them cautiously.

But Hua Manlou didn't care much this time.The two of them finished their breakfast happily (Han Yexin inevitably drank three or four bowls of porridge, and could almost hear the sound of his stomach shaking), then discussed going to the street to find clues.

They took the letter and went out.This breakfast was a bit long, and there are already many people on the street.The place where the small building is located is already a busy city.As soon as he left the door, he heard many people greeting Hua Manlou.Most of these people are vendors who get up early, and there are also vegetable sellers and walkers on the road, all kinds of people.Hua Manlou answered with a smile, and would never mistake anyone.

It seemed that the people in this street were used to the presence of Huamanlou, and no one would talk and laugh at him because he was blind.

Or, Huamanlou has long made people not feel that he is blind.

The first thing Huamanlou and Han Yexin wanted to go to was the three shops on this street that sold pens, inks, papers and inkstones.Two of these three shops are very close to each other and are neighbors.The other was in the opposite direction from them.

Huamanlou had just entered one of the two, when the boss who was still tallying the goods came out cordially: "Seventh Young Master, good morning!"

"Morning! Boss Wang, I want to see your Songhuajian."

Although Songhua paper is very popular, it is mostly used by women.However, Boss Wang was not surprised when Huamanlou came to buy pine flower paper.After all, Huamanlou has a leisurely and elegant aristocratic temperament, and Songhuajian does not stand out from him.

The boss took out some good pine flower paper.Hua Manlou leaned to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, and she knew it wasn't the kind left by Yuchiying.He handed the letterhead to Han Yexin.

Sure enough, these pine flower papers have the standard of Peach Blossom and Flying Swallow.This system is indeed very common, and it seems that the breakthrough point should be the fragrance on the letterhead.

I bid farewell to Boss Wang, and then visited the next door, but also found nothing.Walking down the street, Han Yexin said, "Maybe it's not the scent on the letter paper. It could be something like rouge scent." Hua Manlou smiled and shook his head.He already has an idea.

At this time, the street has become more and more lively.

The two were walking when they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes. "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" a man roared loudly, while the whip kept falling.There was a sudden scream on the road, and many small stalls were also overwhelmed by the crowd.The horse turned out to be extremely fast, and it arrived in front of us in a short while.

"Ah!" A flower girl was about to be stepped on by a horse's hoof, but she couldn't move. She could only instinctively squat down and hug her head, waiting for the horse's hoof to come.

But suddenly, she felt a breeze, and she fell into a gentle embrace, leading her to spin away quickly, and then stopped quietly.

And the galloping horse let out a long neigh, and the person on the horse fell to the ground, but another person reined in his place.

The horse jumped through the air with both hooves and stopped abruptly.

The girl then raised her head.She saw a handsome young man smiling at her.

The girl blushed suddenly, and realized that she was lying in his arms, she quickly backed away, bowed her head and said: "Thank you, young master, for saving your life."

At this time, the young man who trained the horse had already jumped down, stroking the long mane of the black horse.The person who was kicked on the ground by him struggled to get up, and cursed: "Who is looking for death here!" After saying that, the whip and the thunder came down violently.

The young man didn't move much, he just pinched his fingers, and the iron whip remained motionless above his head.

"You!" The middle-aged man's expression changed: "Who are you?"

He is not an ignorant Jianghu person, he recognizes this move, it is the legendary Lu Xiaofeng's unique skill.

Looking at the person hugging the girl on the side of the road, isn't it Huamanlou.

The young man let go of his whip and did not speak.He didn't look like Lu Xiaofeng, and his expression was a little cold, even a little tired.

The middle-aged man realized that he might not be able to find his troubles, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow his blood, and lead the horse away.

Han Yexin returned to Huamanlou's side.The girl thanked her and found that her flowers had been trampled everywhere by the horse.She silently picked up the broken branch, her face full of sadness.

A peach blossom stretched out.It was the son who saved her.

"Thank you, my lord." The girl took the flower branch and thanked her.

"There are flowers that can be broken straight away, don't wait for no flowers to break branches. Although this flower was eventually crushed, it was picked by the girl herself. I don't think there will be much regret. Please don't be sad."

Han Yexin heard this, and secretly complained: Qitong really has the ability to make girls happy.But I'm afraid that girl is not pity for flowers, but pity for money.

The girl smiled tactfully and nodded.

Hua ManLou pulled the girl up and said, "The humble house is not far from here. The girl will be selling flowers tomorrow as she passes by downstairs, you might as well call out and let me enjoy the fragrance of the flowers."

Han Yexin nodded inwardly: As expected, it is worthy of Huamanlou. Giving money now is probably because the girl is thin-skinned, and besides, it is a bit of a charity.But if you order flowers for tomorrow, you may also order them in the future. This is called sending Buddha to the west, moistening things silently.

The girl understood, she was really happy, and nodded quickly.

Hua ManLou pointed her in the direction: "Look at the window with orchids, it's the humble house."

"Thank you, sir." The girl took out a few intact flowers from the flower basket: "Give these to you, sir. Let's add some fragrance to the road."

Hua Manlou took the flower branch, lowered his head and sniffed, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

The young girl blushed suddenly, twisted her sleeves, and said embarrassedly: "I don't know what your name is?" She hurriedly explained: "I have no other intentions. I must know the name of the young master when I send flowers tomorrow."

Huamanlou smiled slightly: "I'm down here, Huamanlou."

The girl's ears were red, she raised her head and looked at her quietly: "My name is Feiyan, Zhao Feiyan's Feiyan."

The sound of "Flying Swallow" surprised Han Yexin.His heart was beating wildly, he stared at the girl, and walked over step by step.

But before he approached, the girl had already carried the basket and flew away happily like a swallow.
