[Lu Xiaofeng] Hidden Forest of Flowers and Leaves

Not happy with Huamanlou?Han Yexin frowned and looked at him for a long time, but couldn't see any difference from usual.

A petal fell onto the strings, Hua Manlou's fingers touched the petal, flicked it lightly, the petal flew up, flew over the rockery, and landed on the pool.

"Huamanlou," Han Yexin stepped aside, stood far away, not daring to look at Huamanlou, his eyes fell on the rockery: "I want to tell you something, I just discussed with my second brother It's an errand, and tomorrow I will go to Dongtingzhuang with Uncle Fu to reconcile the accounts."

Hua Manlou's hands rested on the strings for a long time before he let out a "huh".

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Han Ye felt even more guilty, stepped back, and said, "It's nothing, I'll be leaving first." Fearing that Hua Manlou would call him back, he turned around and went into the rockery, hurriedly ran out of the yard.

Han Yexin walked quickly, remembering the dream he had last night.In the dream, Hua Manlou said that he didn't mean what he said, Han Yexin thought to himself, it seems that he really hit the mark.

Unexpectedly, the whole day was peaceful, and Han Yexin never saw Huamanlou again.The next day, he got up early and rushed to the front door with his pack.

As soon as he was out the door, he stopped abruptly.There were two cars parked at the door, Uncle Fu stood behind one car, and a hand was stretched out from the other car, that hand was as slender as jade, and Nangong Luluo got into the car with that hand.

Han Yexin hurried over and saw that it was indeed full of flowers.Holding the folding fan, Hua Manlou smiled slightly when she heard Han Yexin approaching.

"Uncle Fu, what's going on?" Han Yexin ran to Uncle Fu's car and asked anxiously.

Fu Bo said: "The old slave heard that the wives in the mansion knew that Mr. Han was going out, so they asked Mr. Seven to take Miss Nangong to play together, so as not to disappoint the good spring."

Han Ye was impatient, and thought that he was going out to avoid these two people, but he didn't expect that they would still face each other day and night in the end.

He looked at the car in front of him. Hua Manlou and Nangong Luluo were facing each other knee-to-shoulder.He couldn't help but snorted coldly, and stepped into Forber's car.

Uncle Fu is a man with an old god. Seeing Han Yexin's face, he didn't ask any more questions, and ordered his subordinates to pretend to salute and prepare to leave.

The carriage left Yangzhou and headed north.Forber has rich experience and knows when to stop and rest, and when to hurry to avoid missing the destination.This road is very smooth, and the weather is beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, it is a pleasant journey.But the two young masters didn't know what was going on. Han Yexin ignored Huamanlou and never took the same car; and Huamanlou didn't bother Han Yexin. chat.The two talked lightly and smiled, but they behaved politely and never overstepped the rules.

On this day, I passed a small town called Changtong.Because there are many tung trees planted here, it got its name.This town is not big, but there are many people on the street.If you look carefully, most of them are young men in new clothes.Because there were too many people, the carriage moved slowly in the town, Uncle Fu asked Hua Manlou for instructions: "Why don't you stop here for a while, and leave when the crowd clears."

Because checking the accounts this time was not a matter of urgency, the Second Young Master gave orders before leaving, mainly to take the two Young Masters out to relax, and it didn't matter how fast or slow they were.So Uncle Fu thought that since there was excitement, he could take a look at it, maybe there would be some opportunity for these two young masters to stop being so ambiguous.

Hua Manlou nodded, and Uncle Fu stopped the carriage in front of the inn.

After getting out of the car, I found that the inn was also very lively.Uncle Fu stuffed some more taels for Xiao Er, and managed to find an empty table.

A few people sat down, Uncle Fu asked the little girl: "Little brother, I see that your town is so lively, is it usually like this?"

Xiaoer smiled and said: "The guest officer is joking, although our Changtong is considered rich, but there is no such thing as today's scene on weekdays."

"Then why is it like this today?"

"Guest officials who come from other places probably don't know that today is the day when a local lady throws a hydrangea ball to choose a relative, so unmarried men from all over the world are crowding into the town!"

"I see that the little brother is also wearing a brand-new suit. Are you going to pick up hydrangea later?"

"You made the old man laugh! The young one hasn't gotten married yet, and his family background is clean, so he just went to try his luck."

Uncle Fu laughed and said, "Then I wish my little brother good luck, to be able to catch the hydrangea ball, and win the beauty back!"

Xiao Er accepted it with a smile, and walked away with the teapot when she heard other guests calling.

Uncle Fu looked at Han Yexin and Huamanlou, rolled his eyes, and said, "Seventh Young Master, since there is such excitement, let's go and see it too?"

Maybe the two young masters won't be so cross-eyed after watching this excitement.

In fact, there are so many people outside, if it was normal, Uncle Fu would definitely not pay attention to let Huamanlou go to a place with so many people.But today I have to take a risky move.

Huamanlou said: "It's not impossible."

Nangong Luluo was really curious: "I've never seen a hydrangea thrown, but isn't it too hasty to get married like this?"

Uncle Fu: "As the saying goes, there is a chance to meet thousands of miles away. Besides, since this family has chosen this method, there must be a rule. Not everyone can catch this hydrangea."

Seeing that it was not yet noon, Xiao Er hurriedly brought the food for several people, and the people in the inn also ate in a hurry, and went out to the place where the hydrangea was thrown.Many people think that the earlier they go, the better they can choose a seat and attract the lady's attention.

The group of people in Huafu were not in a hurry, after eating, they followed the flow of people and walked towards Xiulou.

Han Yexin walked behind, watching Huamanlou quietly.In such a crowded place, he was still a little worried that the building would be full of flowers.Huamanlou is blind, so it should be extremely inconvenient in the crowd.However, Hua Manlou walked in front, with a natural pace, and never collided with anyone. Even if someone almost bumped into him, he could deftly avoid it, as if Han Yexin's worries were in vain.

When they finally arrived at the Embroidery Building, there was already a girl with a tulle face standing upstairs, holding a hydrangea ball in her hand, looking at the crowd below like a weak willow supporting the wind.

The people below were even more excited. They kept shouting at the lady and waving their hands. Some even jumped up in the crowd, as if this could attract the lady's attention.This group of men is not only young, but even older.

After the young lady's father finished speaking, it was time for the young lady to throw the hydrangea.The crowd pushed and shoved, the young lady looked over there, and the crowd rushed over there. Everyone in Huafu was standing outside, but they were also surrounded by the crowd.

Another wave of people came, Hua Manlou staggered and was pushed back.In fact, there were people in the front, back, left, and right. If he retreated to the back, he might just accidentally step on that person's foot.But there was an arm blocking his back, Hua Manlou stood firm, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, the lady upstairs finally closed her eyes and threw the hydrangea out.

The crowd was even more riotous.The hydrangea was thrown again and again, tossed over the heads of a bunch of people, and turned into a fight for grabs.

Hua Manlou and Han Yexin stood there without moving.

Hua Manlou said: "Is the lady upstairs looking good?"

Han Yexin held Hua Manlou's arm, but he didn't feel like looking at him—but he forgot that Hua Manlou was blind and couldn't seem to see his expression. In the end, this anger was in vain.

"What do you think?"

"This place smells of sweat, and the young lady didn't say anything, how could I know?"

Han Yexin smiled lightly: "I thought Playboy knew everything."

Hua Manlou stopped talking, lest the two of them would quarrel again if they opened their mouths.

Han Yexin looked up the embroidered building, and said, "This young lady is wearing a light green dress, with a white gauze covering her face, a willow waist, and autumn eyes. She should look pretty good." A person's appearance and the surrounding scenery are fully explained to Huamanlou.

Hua Manlou said: "It is said that she is the most famous beauty in all directions."

"In this world, beauties throw hydrangeas too." Han Yexin shook his head and sighed.

I don't know who threw it, the hydrangea flew over and happened to land on the top of the two of them.Han Yexin stretched out his hand and pulled Huamanlou to hide.

Hua Manlou shook his head with a broken smile: "The good marriage, I've lost it for you."

Han Yexin frowned and looked at him: "Forget it."

After saying this, he didn't say anything more.Hua Manlou was a little puzzled, but Han Yexin had already pulled him out of the crowd.

Nangong Luluo and Uncle Fu both stood outside at a distance. Seeing them coming out, Nangong smiled and said, "Why did you come out? I think that girl is very beautiful!"

Han Yexin was suddenly a little strange, he glanced at Nangong Luluo.She originally wanted to make a couple with Hua Manlou, why didn't she care at all?

Suddenly someone shouted: "I got it, I got the hydrangea!" I saw the man kneeling on the ground, holding the hydrangea tightly, no matter how others pulled it, he couldn't pull it away.

Someone kicked him and cursed angrily: "You are a chamberpot pourer, and you want to eat swan meat!"

"My family background is clean, I haven't married yet, why can't I!" said the man, protecting the hydrangea tightly.

The Huafu group no longer care much about who gets the hydrangea.Uncle Fu looked at Hua Manlou and Han Yexin who were talking with each other with satisfaction, thinking that the two little ancestors finally stopped being angry.Several people walked slowly towards the inn.

Suddenly they heard exclamations from behind, and everyone looked back, only to see that the hydrangea was thrown up again for some reason, flew all the way, and landed firmly in Huamanlou's hands.

The hydrangea snatchers fell silent for a while, then suddenly came to their senses and rushed towards Huamanlou.

Han Yexin dodged in front of Huamanlou. Seeing the crowd rushing towards him, he thought something was wrong, so he wanted to grab the hydrangea and throw it out.But suddenly he saw a person, Huamanlou was already in front of him, the folding fan spread out, and a few silver needles were poked on the fan blades.

Han Yexin pulled the hydrangea away while pulling Huamanlou back.Sweeping his eyes across the crowd, he saw a person smiling at him in the shadows at the corner of the street, and then disappeared again.

Han Yexin was startled, secretly thinking that he was dazzled, how could it be her?He was about to chase after him but was held back by Hua Manlou.Hua Manlou shook his head.

After being disturbed by this incident, the few people were not in the mood to continue to join in the fun, so they returned to the inn.As soon as she sat down, Hua Manlou unfolded her folding fan, and the few silver needles were still clamped on the fan blade.He held the silver needle to the tip of his nose and smelled it, and frowned slightly.

"Is that He Gu?" Han Yexin asked.The person passing by the corner of the street looked very much like He Gu.

Hua Manlou nodded.

"She's back?" Over the years, Huafu spent great efforts in searching, but they couldn't find any trace of Aunt He. They didn't expect to meet each other in this small town now.

Hua Manlou took down the silver needles, and said: "The technique of these needles is much worse than that of nine years ago. It seems that our worries are unnecessary. She probably hasn't returned to Jinling Township in these years."
