[Lu Xiaofeng] Hidden Forest of Flowers and Leaves

Han Yexin drank a lot of wine.Compared with the rest of the Hua family, he doesn't drink well.However, that day, he poured and drank, and before he knew it, several wine bottles were already placed on the table.When the banquet was over, Han Yexin lay prone on the table, tilting the wine bowl in his hand, and the wine flowed from the table and into his sleeve.

Hua Manlou stood behind him, bent over and smelled it.He shook his head lightly, and was about to pull Han Yexin up when he heard his sister-in-law say, "Qitong, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take Miss Nangong back to her room to rest."

Nangong Luluo also drank some wine, her cheeks were flushed, and she said with a smile: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome."

"How did that happen?"

Hua Manlou withdrew his hand from under Han Yexin's arm. Seeing him hesitant, Hua Kai said, "Seventh Young Master, don't worry, Young Master Xiao Han will send it back to me."

Hua Manlou nodded at Huakai, before walking towards Nangong Luluo.

Huakai carried Han Yexin on her back, went back to her residence, brought hot water to wash Han Yexin, and then threw him on the bed.He looked at Han Yexin's frown, shook his head and sighed.

Han Yexin didn't know where he was, the surroundings were completely dark.Something is drawing him forward.As Han Yexin was walking, some thoughts were desperately trying to come out of his mind.But he didn't know what it was that was causing his headache to split, and he didn't know what the sour emotion in his chest was. He just felt that there was something to say, as if he was about to blurt it out.

But I couldn't say anything.

Han Yexin racked his brains while walking forward while leaning on the wall.In the endless darkness, all his hands could touch was a glorious wall.

After walking for an unknown time, he suddenly saw some light.Han Yexin tried her best to walk towards the light, and when she walked in, she realized that it was an apricot tree.The apricot blossoms fluttered down one after another, and the whole tree shone like moonlight.

There was a person standing under the apricot tree with his back to Han Yexin.The man was dressed in a loose white dress, with hair hanging over his shoulders, and a book at his side, holding a book.He was barefoot, and his feet stepped in the darkness, causing waves of ripples.

That back is very familiar.Han Yexin walked over quickly, looked at the back, and shouted, "The building is full of flowers!"

But he couldn't make a sound.He pinched his neck, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cry out.Han Ye was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

At this moment, Hua Manlou turned around.His eyes searched in the darkness for a while, and finally settled on Han Yexin's direction.His eyes were as black as the darkness around them.

Finally, Hua Manlou smiled slightly, and he waved to Han Yexin.

Han Yexin stumbled over while touching his neck.

"Ye Xin, why are you here?" Hua Manlou asked while supporting his shoulder.

Han Ye wanted to speak, but couldn't.But Hua Manlou seemed to understand what he meant, and said alone: ​​"You are lost."

Han Yexin shook his head.

Hua Manlou asked again: "Do you think this place is beautiful?"

Han Yexin looked into Hua Manlou's eyes and nodded.

I'm afraid it would not be difficult for him to admit that this place is the most beautiful place in the world.

Hua Manlou smiled: "This is my world. But you shouldn't come here. You should go back."

"What about you?" Han Yexin asked quietly, grabbing Hua Manlou's lapel.

Hua Manlou shook his head, let go of Han Yexin, and turned his back again.

"Why?" Han Ye panicked, "Why don't you go back with me?"

Hua Manlou shook his head again.

Han Ye was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.He couldn't get around in front of Huamanlou, and couldn't see his face.

I only heard Hua ManLou's voice slowly coming over——

"Because your words don't count."

Han Yexin woke up suddenly from the dream, touched his forehead, it was covered with sweat.He got out of bed and poured a cup of cold tea to drink, and his mood gradually calmed down.

headache.But Hua Manlou's words still echoed clearly in his mind: "Because, your words don't count."

Han Yexin said that he would stay by Huamanlou's side forever, but now he backed down. Unexpectedly, Huamanlou in his dream had discovered his unrealized idea.

He shook his head with a grin.

On the second day, Han Yexin went to find Hua Wujuan.Hua Wujuan was sorting out the account books in the study, when he heard Han Yexin's words, his hands paused, he raised his head, and looked at him with a little surprise.

"I didn't expect..." Hua Wujuan murmured, but there was no more words.

"Second brother, look at the work in Zhuangzi's shop below, send me one, even if you go to a teahouse as a waiter, it's fine."

Hua Wujuan said: "Why do you think of this now?"

Han Yexin scratched her head embarrassingly: "I always feel that if I continue to mess around like this, I will accomplish nothing."

Hua Wujuan smiled, with a bit of sarcasm as usual: "Why didn't you think so before, when that Nangong girl came, did you think so?"

Han Yexin chuckled, "It's not easy to be a rice bug for the rest of my life."

"Then what about your martial arts? After practicing martial arts for so long, you want to be a waiter?"

"Is there an escort agency under our family name? Why don't we become a nursing home!"

Hua Wujuan smiled and shook his head: "That's all." He randomly took out an account book from the table: "This Zhuangzi's account, you should check it first."

Han Ye felt troubled. He was really not proficient in checking accounts, but he didn't dare to bargain with Hua Wujuan, so he took the account books and said, "Second brother, I'm a novice, you need to find me a master."

Hua Wujuan said: "Do you think I really trust you? Uncle Fu will go with you." Then he sighed long and long: "I know you just want to go out for a walk, I'll give you a Zhuangzi to hang around casually."

Han Ye was overjoyed, thanked Hua Wujuan quickly, and ran away with a smile.

Hua Wujuan looked at his back and shook his head, took out a blank piece of paper, and wrote: "This world is a big dream."

Han Yexin got the job of going to Zhuangzi to check the accounts, and immediately went to Uncle Fu when he went out.Uncle Fu was around fifty and very friendly. When he heard that Han Yexin was going with him, he smiled and told him what to prepare and what time to leave tomorrow.Han Yexin wrote it down carefully, and went back to tidy up a simple salute.

After saluting and packing up, he sat on the bed and became dazed.Now that the preparations are complete, Hua Manlou has not been told yet.

Thinking of telling Huamanlou about this, Han Yexin felt his scalp go numb, secretly thinking that Huamanlou would be angry.He sat on the bed for a long time but couldn't muster the courage.His eyes fell on the books on the table, and he suddenly thought, maybe Hua Manlou wouldn't care too much, he is not the kind of angry person, he is very gentle and generous to everyone.Maybe he understood his own thoughts very well.

Han Yexin secretly spurned her own thoughts, and always thought of things in a direction that was beneficial to her.But thinking about it this way, I felt more confident, so I got up and went to find Huamanlou.

Huamanlou is not in the yard.The little maid said, just now when Miss Nangong came to visit, the young master had a conversation with her, and then went out with Qin.As for where it went, it is not clear.

Han Yexin walked out of the yard, absent-mindedly.He didn't know where Huamanlou had gone, secretly thinking that maybe he and Nangong had already left Huafu at this time, and went to Daming Temple to see Qionghua.Should he chase after him and tell him that he is leaving tomorrow?After thinking about it, Han Yexin quickly shook his head.If it makes Hua Manlou angry at that time, there is nothing he can do.

Although he imagined a bunch of flowers all over the floor smiling and behaving magnanimously, but the faint intuition in his heart still told him that this matter was very dangerous and it was best not to do it.

But the last thing to be done has been done.

Han Yexin sighed sullenly, and suddenly heard the sound of Lingling piano.Accompanied by the sound of the piano, there is also the sound of a waterfall.Han Yexin immediately guessed where Hua Manlou was, and ran over without thinking.

Sure enough, after turning around a few corridors and passing through a few door openings, he saw Hua Manlou on a high platform.On the left side of the high platform is a clump of rockery, and on the right side is a study room, the walls of which are covered with green creepers.

There is a pool under the high platform. A trickle flows down from the rockery, flying beads and splashing jade, bringing a sound of lingling spring.

Han Yexin looked at the figure on the high platform and stopped abruptly.

Huamanlou played the ancient song "Jianjia". Nangong Luluo held a bright sword and was dancing a sword dance to the sound of the piano.

Jian Jia Cang Cang, white dew is frost. The so-called Yi people are on the water side.

Recalling from it, the road is hindered and long.Traveling backwards from it, just in the middle of the water.

The sound of the piano, the sound of the sword, and the sound of the spring are combined in one place, the white clothes of Huamanlou are blowing the piano, and the green radish and sword dance in Nangong are vivid.

Looking at this picturesque scene, Han Yexin felt dizzy for a while.Words such as golden boy and jade girl, talented man and beautiful woman, husband singing and wife following, and so on flashed through my mind one by one.

He looked up for a long time, the secret path should leave immediately, but he couldn't move.

At the end of the song, Hua Manlou held down the strings.Nangong retracted his sword, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was a little out of breath.

Hua Manlou listened attentively, moved her head slightly, and looked down the high platform.

For some reason, seeing Hua Manlou "looking" over, Han Yexin flashed into the fake cave.

Nangong said: "The building is full of flowers, I'll go down and change clothes."

Dancing to the sound of Huamanlou's piano, it was much more tiring than expected.She thought that this quaint and slightly sad song would not consume much energy, but she didn't think that when she was fighting with the sword, the sound of the piano became more weeping, with lingering twists and turns, as if it was played by the poet who couldn't ask for it.

The sound of the zither has emotion, and the sword unconsciously moves with this emotion until the moment it stops.Even at this time, Nangong still had the emotion of mourning and tossing and turning in the river beside the reeds.

Nangong went down the high platform along the stone steps to change the sweat-stained clothes.

Hua Manlou was still sitting there, plucking the strings casually.

It is the opening paragraph of "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix".Then he held down the strings again and said, "Since you're here, why don't you come up?"

Hearing the song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", Han Yexin's heart was beating wildly.It was a piece that Hua Manlou used to play when he was a child. At that time, they had only met each other not long ago. At that time, Han Yexin just admired it. He had never had such a deep affection for the person who played the piano like he does now.

He forced himself to hold down his heartbeat, took a few deep breaths, and then got out of the fake cave and walked onto the high platform.

Han Yexin's face was red from the beating heart, but Huamanlou couldn't see it.

He plucked the strings and asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Ye Xin, why haven't I seen you for so long today?"

"Because... I was very drunk yesterday."

"Why are you drunk?"

"Happy for you."

"I'm very happy?" Hua Manlou asked back while still plucking the strings casually.

Han Ye was stunned.He looked at Huamanlou carefully, but he couldn't see any difference from Huamanlou's usual smiling face.It's just that his seemingly casual question was greatly inappropriate, and Han Yexin keenly sensed the danger.
