[Lu Hua] Son, you lost a chicken

As expected, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou set foot on Jiangnan again on the day of the winter solstice.

As soon as he returned to Jiangnan, Lu Xiaofeng only felt his body soften.

In the past, Lu Xiaofeng was a prodigal son, a prodigal son who had no such thing as a "hometown".He is home all over the world, and his hometown is everywhere.But now, Lu Xiaofeng feels that Jiangnan is like his hometown.

Because Jiangnan is Huamanlou's hometown, the place where Huamanlou grew up and lived.And the Baihualou, which is full of flowers, is also in the south of the Yangtze River.

Riding the horse leisurely, Lu Xiaofeng asked Huamanlou, "Qitong, should we go back to Baihualou first, or go to Yungui Pavilion first?"

Huamanlou laughed, and when he was with Lu Xiaofeng, Huamanlou could always laugh easily.

Hua Manlou's tone was soft like the wind in June, and he replied to Lu Xiaofeng, "It's all right, what do you want, Fenghuang?"

Lu Xiaofeng held the horse's rein loosely with his wrist, and his voice was soft, like a glutinous rice cake just out of the pan, still steaming.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why don't we go to Fang Fang's place first? After eating and drinking, we will go back to Baihualou. I think it will be just in time for bedtime."

As soon as he returned to Jiangnan, Lu Xiaofeng seemed extremely tired.

The reason is probably because Huamanlou is used to it.

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go to Yungui Pavilion first."

Yungui Pavilion is still Yungui Pavilion, but some flowers are withering, and some other flowers are blooming.Fang Fang is still Fang Fang, except that the meals he prepares today are no longer crabs full of rhubarb just before winter, but red bean glutinous rice, winter brewed wine and dumplings, which are a mixture of north and south, necessary for the winter solstice.

They are all simple home-cooked meals, but in Fang Fang's hands, the taste is naturally not simple.

After more than a month, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou stood in front of Yungui Pavilion again.

Although it was a little embarrassing to recall the conflict between him and Beef Soup in Yungui Pavilion before, but Lu Xiaofeng's longing for good wine diluted the embarrassment.

The same goes for Huamanlou, although it was a little unnatural to think of Fang Fang's veiled confession to him before, but his desire to feed Lu Xiaofeng also diluted this unnaturalness.

Hua Manlou reached out to knock on the short wooden door.

Unexpectedly, before Hua Manlou's hand touched the wooden door, the wooden door was already opened from the inside, revealing Fang Fang's handsome face behind it.The winter solstice is basically the coldest time of the year.Fang Fang was wearing a thick pure white fox fur and a dark green robe underneath.The faint white mist produced between his breaths made his face a little unclear, but his eyes were bright.

He saw Huamanlou again.

The corners of Fang Fang's mouth curled up involuntarily, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, and there was also a smile.He didn't hide the joy in his heart at all, and he couldn't hide it, because the smile on his face would betray him.

He saw Huamanlou standing in the cold winter wind, outside his Yungui Pavilion.

Huamanlou is still the same, her eyebrows are as delicate and clear as an ink painting made by a first-class painter with fine paint, the corners of her mouth seem to be always smiling, and she has a special temperament mixed with nobility, bookishness and chivalry, which attracts People can't move their eyes.

Hearing that it was Fang Fang, Hua Manlou took the lead in greeting, "Brother Fang, long time no see."

Fang Fang looked at Hua Manlou's face, and said, "Long time, no see."

Fang Fang said these four words slowly and affectionately, as if what he was saying was not a common greeting, but a whisper between lovers.

In fact, Fang Fang didn't say the second half of the sentence.

我 很想 你.

But he has no position or qualification to say this sentence, so he can only stop his voice when he "sees", and stops the second half of the sentence between his lips and teeth, preventing it from having the possibility of being seen in the light of day.

Hua Manlou said again: "Excuse me."

The alienation in Huamanlou's words was like a basin of cold water coming towards him, and Fang Fang suddenly woke up from the joy of meeting Huamanlou unexpectedly.

Fang Fang laughed out loud, with a hint of self-mockery and loneliness hidden in his smile.He said: "Brother Hua, it's strange. Let's not talk about our friendship, I, Yungui Pavilion, is just a restaurant. If you come to eat, how can you say whether to disturb or not."

Is Yungui Pavilion a restaurant?

Countless wealthy businessmen who were rejected by Yungui Pavilion cried and accused Fang Fang, you liar.

If it's really a restaurant, why can't they get even a grain of rice even if they are rewarded with thousands of gold?

Fang Fang was still looking at Huamanlou with gentle and affectionate eyes.His facial contours are straight and deep, and even have some edges and corners.In stark contrast, his eyes at this moment were filled with tenderness like water.

His eyes are like the rippling ocean, enough to drown any young girl in boudoir.

It's a pity that what he looked at with such gentle eyes was a blind man, and he was also a blind man who had his own heart.

It's true that Huamanlou can't see things, but Lu Xiaofeng can still see them.The narrow-minded and jealous little Fenghuang of Huamanlou's family couldn't help screaming inwardly, wondering why Fang Fang hadn't given up yet.And Lu Xiaofeng also noticed that Fang Fang's eyes were worse than before.

Lu Xiaofeng began to regret agreeing to come to Yungui Pavilion for dinner with Huamanlou.Where to eat is not to eat, the taste of Yunguige is good, but it can't stop the boss here from having bad intentions towards Huamanlou.

But Fang Fang is obviously a person with excellent self-control.In Lu Xiaofeng's eyes, Fang Fang has been staring at Huamanlou for a long time, but in fact, Fang Fang just watched Huamanlou for a while longer.

Hua Manlou spoke again, and said, "Brother Fang, are you going out?"

Fang Fang really wanted to go out, but since it was Hua Manlou who came, it was impossible for him to tell Hua Manlou truthfully of his original intention.Fang Fang smiled and said to Huamanlou: "No, I just saw that the plum blossoms in the garden are blooming well. If I want to look at it from a different angle outside the garden, I think it will have a special charm."

Huamanlou smelled a very faint scent of plum blossoms floating in the air, and knew that Fang Fang was right, the plum blossoms in his garden were really blooming well.

Fang Fang can even lie so gracefully.

Huamanlou couldn't see, so he didn't see the unnatural flash across Fang Fang's face, so he naturally didn't know that Fang Fang wasn't telling the truth at this time.

But Lu Xiaofeng could see it, Lu Xiaofeng knew that Fang Fang was telling lies.

Putting on a feigned smile, Lu Xiaofeng suggested to Hua Manlou, "Why don't we go to another place to eat? Brother Fang must have something to do."

Hua Manlou also hesitated.

But Fang Fang didn't give Hua Manlou another chance to hesitate. He had already turned back and walked back, calling Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng as he walked, "Brother Hua, Brother Lu, why are you still standing there? I'll close it, please."

After Fang Fang said that, what else could Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng say?

Huamanlou walked into the Cloud Pavilion, Lu Xiaofeng followed Huamanlou in, although the boss was not happy about it.

After closing the door, Hua Manlou stretched out his hand and rubbed Lu Xiaofeng's head, the comfort in it was self-evident.

Fang Fang saw that Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou had entered, and the door was closed, he let out a long sigh of relief.

He was really worried that Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng would turn around and leave.

Although Huamanlou came with Lu Xiaofeng, it was better than Huamanlou not coming to Yungui Pavilion after that.

Stopping to wait for Lu Xiaofeng and Huamanlou, Fang Fang smiled again: "Today's winter solstice, the winter brewing wine has already been prepared, and the dumplings are also prepared, just put them in the pot. I will steam red beans for you later sticky rice."

Thinking of Lu Xiaofeng's good wine, Fang Fang smiled, and added: "Winter brewing wine is no less rare than Chen Sanbai's. I have brewed a lot, Brother Lu can handle enough for today."

Lu Xiaofeng's mood was finally soothed a little by this "enough" good wine.

Anyway, Hua Manlou likes him, Lu Xiaofeng, so he doesn't believe that Fang Fang can make any waves?

Lu Xiaofeng and Huamanlou were brought by Fang Fang to the inner room, where they sat last time.But at that time the chill was not as deep as it is now, and the charcoal fire was not as warm as it is now.

As soon as you enter the inner room, you can feel the warmth rushing towards your face, making your body seem to loosen all of a sudden.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and praised: "Young Master Fang is really warm here."

Fang Fang laughed and said, "My body is not as cold-resistant as your martial arts practitioners. In the severe winter, I still need to burn more charcoal. Sit down."

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou sat down as promised.

Fang Fang set out the tea set, poured tea for Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou one by one, brought out a few jars of winter brewing wine, and set out a few drinking cups, then he got up and went to the kitchen.

The wine was all set out, Lu Xiaofeng naturally wouldn't be polite, he slapped open the jar and poured it into his mouth, it was really good wine, clear and delicious.

Huamanlou was sipping the hot tea that Fang Fang had just poured for him.The tea is Lapsang Souchong suitable for warming the body in winter, with a strong fragrance.

Putting down the teacup, Hua Manlou smiled and asked Lu Xiaofeng, "How is this wine?"

Wine is indeed good wine.

Moreover, Hua Manlou specially brought him to drink this wine.

Lu Xiaofeng lowered his head and smiled at the wine jar showing his two deep dimples.

"I like it very much," he said.

Hua Manlou also laughed, and said, "Just as long as you like it."

As long as he likes his little phoenix.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and asked Huamanlou, "Qitong, do you want to try it?"

Hua Manlou, who seldom drank, agreed, "Okay."

Lu Xiaofeng picked out a glass from the table, poured more than half of the glass lightly, and handed it to Hua Manlou.Hua Manlou reached out to take the glass of wine, and accidentally touched Lu Xiaofeng's fingertips.The wine glass was a bit cold, but Lu Xiaofeng's fingertips were warm.

After taking a sip of the wine his little Fenghuang poured for him, Hua Manlou smiled and said, "It's very good."

The wine is very good, and his little phoenix is ​​also very good.

Huamanlou's wine-stained lips looked shiny under the refraction of the sun. Lu Xiaofeng looked at Huamanlou, and involuntarily leaned over to taste the thin layer of wine on Huamanlou's lips. What is the taste.

Lu Xiaofeng's body moved faster than his mind, and when his mind came to his senses, his mouth was already on Hua Manlou's lips.Lu Xiaofeng tasted a little bit of sweetness, but he only tasted it, because he knew they were still in Yungui Pavilion.

For Lu Xiaofeng's sudden kiss, Hua Manlou was a little surprised, but he had gradually gotten used to Lu Xiaofeng's shameless way of doing things, so he wasn't particularly surprised.

But Hua Manlou still raised his hand and knocked on Lu Xiaofeng's head, and said to Lu Xiaofeng, "Sit down, you're still at someone else's house."

Having said that, the faint smile on Hua Manlou's face has not faded at all, so there is no sign of blame or reprimand at all.

It just happened to give Lu Xiaofeng a chance to be a good boy, Lu Xiaofeng looked at Hua Manlou's face, and admitted his mistake with a smile: "Qitong, I was wrong."

As soon as Lu Xiaofeng finished speaking, Fang Fang pushed the door open and entered, holding a tray in his hand, on which was a large plate of dumplings and three small bowls of red bean and glutinous rice.

Fang Fang happened to hear Lu Xiaofeng's words, he smiled and asked, "Why is Brother Lu still recognizing his mistake when I'm not here for a while?"

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the tray in Fang Fang's hand, and asked with a smile, "I think that's the red bean and glutinous rice that every household in the south of the Yangtze River eats during the winter solstice?"

Reminded by Lu Xiaofeng's words, Fang Fang hurriedly put the tray on the table, put everyone's red bean and glutinous rice in front of him one by one, and placed the dumplings in the middle of the table.

Huamanlou could already smell the aroma of red bean and glutinous rice, he replied to Lu Xiaofeng on behalf of Fang Fang, "This is it, try it quickly, Brother Fang's cooking skills are always the best."

Hearing Huamanlou's compliment, Fang Fang laughed, raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea.

In fact, Lu Xiaofeng never really liked this kind of sweet and sticky stuff, but the dumplings on the table were more to his liking.But since this stuff is what Qi Tong has to eat every winter solstice since he was a child, Lu Xiaofeng can't help but force himself to taste a few more mouthfuls.

After tasting it, Lu Xiaofeng looked up at Fang Fang and said, "Brother Fang is really good at cooking."

Fang Fang gently shook the tea in the teacup, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Hua Manlou laughed again, and said, "Brother Fang, stop being modest."

Fang Fang put the teacup in his hand on the table, took a bite of a dumpling himself, and said to Huamanlou, "Okay."

The dumplings are stuffed with mutton and cabbage, and they don't use any exotic ingredients or seasonings. They are delicious and sweet even after one bite.

The amount of food is not much, and the three of them drink tea, drink tea, drink alcohol, and use up this winter solstice meal in a short time.

After finishing their meal, Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng can leave.

Fang Fang had no reason to keep them.

He knew that ever since he recited those few poems expressing his heart, the relationship between Huamanlou and him could no longer return to the word "friend".If they were still friends, Fang Fang could still stay with Hua Man Lou for a while.But now that their relationship is awkward, Fang Fang has no reason to keep Huamanlou, and Huamanlou will not stay.

Fang Fang could only send Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng away from Yungui Pavilion, watching their backs get farther and farther away from him.
