The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng: The Safflower Mystery Case

There is a cup of tea in front of everyone, although they are not the same, but they have a deep meaning, presumably the owner also spent a lot of effort.In Lu Xiaofeng's tea cup is a phoenix spreading its wings ready to fly, in the flower-filled tea cup is an orchid, and in Miaogu's tea cup there are sparse stars and a pale moon, looking hazy.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the tea in front of him, was stunned for a while and said, "Hua Man Lou, it's a great pity that you can't see the painting in the water today."

Hua Manlou took a sip from the Jianzhan, then put down the teacup and said, "Tea, the most important thing is to taste, the entrance is the soul of the tea. Of course, people like Brother Lu who chew peonies will not understand."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp.In the matter of bickering, if Hua Manlou didn't want to admit defeat, even Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help it.What's more, when it comes to tasting tea, he is indeed not as good as Huamanlou. "

When the cup of tea was exhausted, Miaoyin looked at the two of them and said, "The tea is finished, the etiquette is enough, the two of you can talk about your visit."

No matter who asks for help, there will always be some maneuvers.Now that the person being asked takes the initiative to ask, it is really a good thing.However, thinking of some suspicious points raised by Miss Apple, Lu Xiaofeng always felt that Miaogu was very suspicious.Perhaps seeing his confusion, Miaogu took the initiative to explain: "I don't like to wake up early, and now I'm a little tired." She said it very naturally, without even the slightest bit of embarrassment.

There are many doubts in Lu Xiaofeng's mind, in his opinion, if you can't think of it, then don't think about it.So he has already asked directly, "Why are you helping us?"

Miaogu looked at Huamanlou and said, "Because of friends."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Huamanlou in surprise, and asked, "Huamanlou, do you know each other?"

Hua Manlou: "I couldn't sleep last night, so I went out for a walk. I met Miao Gu by chance."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Miao Gu full of inquiry, and asked, "Why didn't Miao Gu sleep last night?"

Miao Gu: "Wait for the flowers to bloom."

Perhaps because she was afraid of being misunderstood, Yun Lan, Miaogu's maid, distinguished for her: "My girl always sleeps late."

If she always sleeps late, she must not be used to getting up early. The naturalness she said just now is just because it is a very normal thing for her.Lu Xiaofeng nodded knowingly, but he thought of another thing, and then asked: "Why did you order someone to invite us in last night?"

Miao Gu: "Because I know you."

Although there are only six words, it contains a lot of meaning.A person like her who lives in seclusion and doesn't care about ordinary things must know someone very famous. A famous person comes to her door, so naturally there is something very important. Since it is very important, she naturally We cannot sit idly by.Lu Xiaofeng has always been a smart person, so he naturally understood the meaning of this sentence.

When a person does not understand what the trouble is, he is willing to lend a helping hand. Whether he is for a friend or for morality, he is a person worthy of respect.Lu Xiaofeng was extremely guilty of his suspicion just now.

Miao Gu could see Lu Xiaofeng's guilt, so she naturally knew that he had understood.So he asked, "Is there anything that Xiecui Villa can help with?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at her with full respect and replied: "The princess of Le'an Palace disappeared, and there was a red flower left at the scene, but no one knew it. Speaking of which, the princess still asked Mr. Yue's niece, Aunt Miao... .”

"I lived in Biyun Temple since I was a child, and I haven't asked about the world of mortals for a long time. My relationship with Wenyue is not as good as you think, so don't ask me about him in the future."

Miao Gu interrupted Lu Xiaofeng's questioning, but her voice was still light without much ups and downs, as if she was always telling other people's stories.

Anyone who is smarter can tell that there must be an unknown past between her and Young Master Wen Yue, and she doesn't want anyone to mention it.Hua Manlou was afraid that Lu Xiaofeng would ask some inappropriate questions again, so he took out the red flower brought by Prince Le'an's mansion from his sleeve and asked, "Does Gu Miao know this flower?"

Miao Gu looked at it for a moment, then sighed, "You two come with me, I'm afraid it won't be of any use."

It wasn't until the arrival that Lu Xiaofeng understood what she meant.

In the eyes, there is an overwhelming red, which is so strong that it is suffocating.At least there are tens of thousands of flowers, and even a god would not be able to see if there are less than one hundred and eighty flowers.

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What kind of flower is this?"

Miao Gu: "It has many names, Wuyi Grass, Dragon Claw Flower..."

Hua Manlou suddenly said, "So it's a golden lantern."

Volume [-] of "Youyang Miscellaneous Zu" written by Duan Chengshi: "Golden lamp, one is said to have nine shapes, the flowers and leaves do not meet each other, and it is planted by vulgar people. , There is a wandering child with twelve rings, born from the need, but not connected in reality, and belongs to the air, one is alone, and the other is from the mother, who is said to be eaten by scholars, and they are collectively called red arrows."

Miaogu nodded and said, "That's right. Some people say that the golden lamp is one of the four flowers of heaven in the "Lotus Sutra", Manjusawa, so I wanted to plant it to see. It's just that I didn't expect it to multiply so fast."

Lu Xiaofeng said coldly: "In any case, the Red Flower Killer may have something to do with Xiecui Villa."

Miao Gu sighed and said, "Do you know how many people are needed to maintain such a huge mountain village?"

Although Lu Xiaofeng doesn't know how many people there are in Xiecui Villa, but looking at the countless gardens and flowers and trees in the villa, he knows that there must be not too few people. It is not impossible to ask one by one, but seven days is far from enough. I'm out of ideas.

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Since you're here, you might as well take a good tour. If you're in a good mood, you'll think about things faster."

Zhuchanjuan, cage Xiaoyan; Huachanjuan, Fanchunquan.

Miaogu took the two of them to play around in Xiecui Villa.Under the sunlight, Lu Xiaofeng discovered that the collar and cuffs of her clothes were actually embroidered with the same color, if it was in the dark, it would not be visible.Such fine embroidery should be the clothes of Yunjinfang.Yunjinfang's clothes have always been a set of clothes, and they have always been the object of competition for the rich and powerful.She doesn't seem to care about such luxurious clothes.

Compared with clothes, her shoes are much worse.A pair of thin-soled soft boots walked silently on the ground.Although these shoes are comfortable, they are extremely perishable and not expensive.

She is not like women nowadays, with light and narrow sleeves showing a slender waist, but a wide robe that conceals a woman's slim figure, and the sleeves of the robe flutter when she walks, which is a bit of Wei and Jin style.

If a woman doesn't care about beauty, but only cares about comfort, then her heart is already old.This is really a strange woman, Lu Xiaofeng finally concluded.

Walking to Qianfang Garden, there is an open space in the garden, and there is a bronze tree-shaped flower stand on the open space.Around the open space is a pattern of chrysanthemums of different colors.

Miaoyin explained: "This garden is usually used for holding banquets. Before the banquet, it will be decorated with seasonal flowers..."

"It's so strange." Hearing Yun Lan's exclamation, everyone followed her gaze to the top of the bronze flower stand.

The bronze flower stand is supported by a straight bronze trunk, from which eighteen bronze branches protrude.The eighteen bronze branches are divided into three layers, the first layer is composed of six branches, with the trunk as the center, diverging outwards at equal angles.The branches look like an "S" from the side, first arching upwards against the trunk, then bending downwards, and then turning upwards.At the top of each branch is a bronze flower on which a flowerpot rests.In order to prevent the upper layer from blocking the light from the lower layer, the branches of each layer and the lower layer are not vertically coincident, but staggered at an angle.

There is also a potted flower where the branches on the top layer arch upwards, plus the flowers on the eighteen bronze branches, there are a total of nineteen pots of flowers on this bronze flower stand.The location of these nineteen pots of flowers is a treasure at first glance, and the flowers on the eighteen bronze branches are indeed treasures, but the pot of flowers on the top of the bronze tree is the same as the white chrysanthemums used to place the chrysanthemum pattern underground.

Miaogu sent Yunlan to invite Uncle He to come over, then carefully inspected the remaining treasures, and said in a low voice: "Shuai flag, green peony, green clothes and red clothes, ink lotus, green clouds..."

Hua Manlou suddenly asked eagerly: "But the ten-foot bead curtain is missing?"

Miaogu: "I haven't noticed it before, but there are all kinds of treasures in chrysanthemums here, even Shuai Qi. There is no reason why the ten-foot bead curtain is missing. The petals of the ten-foot bead curtain are extremely long, and the outer petals are drooping or long. Gone with the wind, it is undoubtedly the most suitable to be placed at the top. These are just my speculations, how did the playboy know?"

Hua ManLou showed a wry smile and said, "If I'm right, the potted flowers are in my small building."
