As soon as we arrived in Shuntian Mansion, the second snow fell in winter, the whole city gate was gleaming white, and a fresh breath came over us.Although he didn't catch up with Chuxue, but being able to spend this year together, Lu Xiaofeng was quite satisfied in his heart. While discussing with Hua Manlou when to meet the little emperor, he also greeted the soldiers guarding the city gate.

Lu Xiaofeng is really strange when he says it. It stands to reason that the rivers and lakes and courts have always been well watered, and unless they collude with each other to deceive each other, there will be no major entanglements. Such a little disdain for each other means that people in the imperial court think they are in the public family and eat the royal food, so they regard the people of the Jianghu as wild and reckless;But this Lu Xiaofeng is an exception, he walks alone in the rivers and lakes, but has never formed a clique, even if he has close friends, but he has always been a duckweed that flows with the water, without roots, and this duckweed, In addition to the rivers and lakes, Guanhai also had a good time swimming. People of different generations in the court, as long as they can talk about going together, they have all drank together.

The so-called gentlemen are reserved and not competitive, group and not party, although Lu Xiaofeng's place is a bit more stern and less reserved than ordinary gentlemen, but it is generally in line with it.

"Hey, Lu Daxia, Chinese New Year is coming soon, are the New Year's goods ready?" It happened that Mr. Xu Qian, who was guarding the north city gate today, was here, and he greeted Lu Hua from afar.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and glanced at Huamanlou: "It's all done, it can't be more complete!" It's different now, he doesn't have to go all over the world to find someone to drink for this year.

"Well, it's my first round to guard the gate, and I want to drink with you!" Sure enough, Mr. Xu Qian's tone was slightly regretful.

Hua Manlou had a small face, half wrapped in a cloak, hiding a faint smile.Although the two of them haven't talked about this matter seriously yet, Lu Xiaofeng has always been by his side in such a grandiose manner, with a natural and righteous attitude, which is quite reassuring and saves some unnecessary embarrassment .

Talking and laughing all the way to Hua Mansion, Hua Ping had already been waiting outside the door, only the two of them came back, ordered people to take the horse away, and asked: "Young Master, where are Ximen Hero and Yu Gongzi?"

If Yu Xi knew that Xiao Huaping still missed him, he would be overwhelmed with gratitude.

"They're back to Wanmei Villa." Lu Xiaofeng sat under the stone lion, it was cool from the freshly swept snow, he folded his arms and listened to the master and servant chatting at the door.

"Did someone come from the palace? Did you say when to enter the palace?" Huamanlou was different from Lu Xiaofeng, he dared to enter the palace so ostentatiously, but the etiquette he was supposed to observe was something he had to observe, it had nothing to do with values, it was pure It's just a habit.

As soon as he mentioned the matter of entering the palace, Hua Ping changed his face, glanced at Lu Xiaofeng, pulled Hua Manlou aside, and muttered in a low voice: "Master, what's the matter with you and Daxia Lu? Why did the second master send back a letter?" Said that he will live in the uncle's mansion for a few days?"

Hua Manlou frowned: "Where's the stuff? Already packed?" He knew how efficient his second brother was, and once he made a decision without consulting himself, one could imagine how determined it was.

"I packed it up early. The letter from the second master arrived yesterday, and there have been people from the uncle's side." Hua Ping vaguely sensed that the relationship between the two of them was unusual, but he didn't dare to think about it, and didn't know what to do. Thinking over there, alas, pure boy!

Hua Manlou stopped talking, but he could tell from his expression how angry he was at this moment.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with living here or in the elder brother's house, but the second elder brother's attitude of resisting to the end, he himself will not do anything, but he doesn't want that person to be wronged.From the very beginning, he has always believed that feelings should never be a burden. If he is made hostile by his own family members because of his own will, it will be more sad than being treated like this.

"It's good to live with your elder brother." Lu Xiaofeng watched his expression change all the time, knowing that this person wanted to go off again, and hurried over, "Your elder brother is an official in the court, it is convenient to enter the palace by staying with him."

Hua Manlou still didn't speak, and squeezed the handle of the fan tightly with her lips pursed.

"Huaping, hurry up, go get the horse out again, we'll go to your uncle's place, just in time for lunch." Lu Xiaofeng winked at Huaping, and Huaping agreed to go.

"It's not far away. You can ride some kind of horse, just walk there." Hua Manlou stopped Hua Ping, then turned around and walked out of the alley.

"Then you don't have to hold me back!" Who is Lu Xiaofeng, he really took the pampering route, dragged Xiao Huaping back without saying a word, followed them out of the alley, turned around a busy market and entered another similar one The alley, and then the mansion of the Hua family.

In fact, Master Hua and Master Hua have not married yet, but they don't live together. After all, the relationship between officialdom and shopping malls has always been intricate, so it is necessary to let it go.

Just passed through the short street, and there is a century-old willow tree, which divides Dongcheng into two parts, one for the rich and the other for the noble, no matter how it is divided, it’s all right anyway. It is a convention to live like this.

"Seventh Young Master, my lord has not come back after entering the palace. He said that when you and Daxia Lu come back, you can just enter the palace." The old housekeeper who opened the door, who has served the uncle of the Hua family since childhood, looks very shrewd. People who seem to be able to bring out a gentle, refined, calm and wise uncle seem to have taught the second master since childhood.

Lu Xiaofeng saw that Huamanlou's expression was still not looking good, so he simply refused to let anyone enter the door, and pushed Xiaohuaping in, and took his young master straight to eat all over the sky.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are quite a few big families who come to book the New Year's Eve dinner. Boss Chen is so busy that he is about to be tied back by his family.But today he didn't help in the kitchen, but accompanied the guest in the private room, because this guest was more difficult than any big family.

"Look, this time the pot meat is so old that it will lose its teeth! And this fried Chinese toon bud, why is it so dark? Oh, this is ingot meat, iron bumps..." a head Wrapped in a black scarf, wearing a gray shirt with purple borders, her legs and feet are tied up in black boots that reach her calves, but they are not placed on the ground, and she is standing on a stool beside her. Her body is neither long nor short, neither fat nor thin. The table that occupies half of the table is not like a suave young man from the capital city, but like a knight-errant in the wind and sand, sitting there neatly and brightly, revealing an eccentric spirit in an instant.

But the appearance looks light and light, but the words that come out of a wonderful mouth are not very comfortable.

"It's enough to make a table for you monkey spirit, and pick and choose. If you have the ability, you can go to the palace and steal it. During the Chinese New Year, you will have a taste of the prison food of the God Detective. You will see you there."

Chen Xiu poured and drank by himself, and didn't bother to argue with him.

Monkeys are common in this world, but there are not many monkey spirits, and there is only one who can be so complacent and gesticulate all over the world——Sikong Zhaixing, the king of robbers.

"Don't be distracted by me!" Sikong Zhaixing's palm-sized face sank, and he crunched the celery in his mouth, "There is a grudge!"

"Haven't you been chasing after Piwu all the time? Why did you suddenly say you have a grudge?" Chen Xiu was quite curious, put down his cup, folded his hands on the table and asked earnestly.

Hearing the words, Sikong looked serious, put his feet down, and was about to straighten his posture to explain the viciousness of the plague god's headhunter clearly, but before he could open his mouth, the door was kicked open.

"Hey, I smelled the bad breath of you old monkey downstairs, and you really showed up!"

The one who spoke was naturally Lu Xiaofeng, no matter what kind of little emperor summoned him, the right way is to make Huamanlou happy first.As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he heard that the monkey spirit was back.

"Lu Xiaoji!" Sikong stood up and yelled with his hands on his hips, "You Lu Xiaoji, you actually plotted against me with that plague god, causing me to go to the Northeast in winter and suffer, I must settle this account with you today! "

Chen Xiu was overjoyed when he saw them coming back, but when he saw that there was no one else behind him, he couldn't hold back his smile, and he managed to force a smile before forcing them to sit down.

Lu Xiaofeng also suddenly mastered a skill after seeing his own mind clearly. For example, now, he can see through Boss Chen at a glance.Not everyone is as lucky as myself, a feeling that cannot be responded to, in the end it is only myself who suffers.

"Sikong, did you also come back today?" After seeing her old friend, Hua Manlou was in a much better mood.

While glaring at Lu Xiaofeng angrily, Sikong Zhaixing replied to Huamanlou's words: "I went to Beijing yesterday, and there was no one at your house, so I ran here."

Lu Xiaofeng sat down next to Huamanlou, faced Sikong, took a handful of peanuts and peeled them: "Hey, you really went to find that Dongbeixue grandma? Which one of the things that Daowu told you is true? Do you think you really are?" Embarrassing to the monkey world." Look, what does it mean to beat back, this is it!

"You...!" Sikong almost jumped on the stool, but he put down one foot and put it back again. He looked at Lu Xiaofeng and laughed, a creepy smile.

"What's the matter?" Lu Xiaofeng practiced perfectly, his technique of peeling peanuts was also superb, he couldn't see the movements clearly, there were piles of shells and skins on the table, and he still had a handful of peanut kernels in his hand.He picked two not-so-full ones and threw them into his mouth, and put the rest into the small dish in front of Huamanlou.

Sikong Zhaixing didn't pay attention to this point, he sighed after laughing, and continued to eat: "Oh, I'm not in a hurry to get revenge, anyway, this time someone will help me, so I'll be happy to take advantage of it, and watch the jokes then! "

There is something in these words, but they are clearly aimed at Lu Xiaofeng.But the master was helpless, just came back from Sichuan, he couldn't figure out what Sikong was talking about.

"Hey, that's right." Chen Xiu, who had recovered from drinking three cups in a row, blushed a lot, and suddenly said, "Sikong, are you talking about the entry of Yingtian Mansion and Mo Mansion to Beijing?

Sikong Zhaixing raised his glass at him——Congratulations, you are right!

Lu Xiaofeng finished peeling the peanuts and was peeling the chestnuts when he heard that one fell to the ground, three pairs of eyes, two pairs of eyes watching the joke...

It's not that the Mo family is so powerful that it can make Lu Daxia change his face, but that there is a daughter of the Mo family, Mo Fengcai, who is just young, talented and beautiful, and she has practiced martial arts since she was a child. She can be called a heroic woman. There are many followers among them, who have been lingering outside the girl's house, just hoping to be favored.

But since last year, the girl Feng mistakenly spoke, and she already has a lover in her heart, and Xiaofeng will not marry unless her surname is Lu.

As soon as this statement came out, not to mention how many good men were heartbroken, Lu Xiaofeng was full of hatred. The key is that he even secretly took a look at the appearance of the girl after the fact, and he didn't know what he owed. Under this debt.

In the past, they made fun of this matter, and he could just laugh it off, but now that he has a sweetheart, Master Lu felt uneasy, so he threw the chestnut on the ground!

"Hey, it's still clean, don't waste it." Sikong Zaixing's figure flickered, the chestnuts on the ground came into his hands, and he threw it towards Lu Xiaofeng, his tone seemed to be full of spectacle.

Huamanlou didn't taste much, he had already prepared himself mentally, if it was serious, he would have drowned in the vinegar vat before the two of them were doing well.

However, he was concerned about another matter, so he said puzzledly, "If I remember correctly, after the Chinese New Year is the day to draft girls. Is Mo's residence coming to Beijing at this time to draft girls?"

Sikong kept glancing at the small dish in front of Huamanlou from the corner of his eyes, his fingers were itching, but Lu Xiaofeng's cross-eyed eyes were too sharp, he couldn't find a chance to strike at the moment, he was worried, Huamanlou gave him the opportunity, and he went over to hook it. Shoulder to shoulder: "I heard that Mo Fengcuo's younger sister, Mo Fengting, is 14 years old this year, the same age as the little emperor, and the Mo family even moved all their business to the capital in order to prepare for her selection of girls, which is quite courageous. "

After peeling the last chestnut, Lu Xiaofeng got up and walked behind Huamanlou, picked up the monkey's paw with one hand, and the chestnut fell into the small dish again, then dragged the stool over, and stood in the middle of it grandly, and started chatting: "Little Emperor Are you old enough to get married? I saw him last year and he was still a kid who didn't understand anything."

Speaking of this, Chen Xiu had something to say, and ate the hibiscus cake by himself: "Speaking of the emperor's wedding, do you know that there is a legend in this palace?"

"What legend?" Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zaixing said in unison, it can be seen that the two people have the same gossip.They rolled their eyes at each other and continued to inquire about the secrets of the palace.

Chen Xiu smiled foolishly, mysteriously: "I also heard what my mother said when chatting with some imperial wives, saying that whenever the emperor gets married, there must be ghosts to collect debts."

"Tch!" Even Hua Manlou lost interest in listening again.The palace has always been a place where people can eat people without spitting out their bones. Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea.Not to mention the emperor's big wedding, even in normal times, a little ghost and a big monster would come out to hang around every now and then.No way, prosper!

"You guys continue to listen to me." Chen Xiu finished eating the hibiscus cake in his hand and whetted everyone's appetites: "I said that this wronged soul is asking for debts, and what he is asking for is not a debt of love from a woman's family, but a debt of life!"

"Life debt?" Sikong Zhaixing rushed to the table again, "What life debt?"

"It's the lifespan of a person!" Chen Xiu moved back and threw out another big gimmick, "You know the courtyard at the far west of the palace, it's the one where the sick palace people are usually locked up."

"Xuan Pavilion?" Lu Xiaofeng knew every where.

"蕖芰阁" is a homonym for dispelling diseases. Once the lower palaces in the palace get sick, they will all rush to this courtyard to take care of them if they are afraid of hurting the nobles.

"That's right." Chen Xiu nodded, "That's the place. In fact, everyone knows that if you enter that kind of place, it's equivalent to the Hall of Hell, so they call it Huangquan Pavilion in private." The last palace attendant , parents can't reach it, outsiders don't care, and the imperial doctors can't afford serious treatment, so they can only resign themselves to their fate and wait for death.

Hua Manlou shook his fan and shook his head: "Isn't it going to be auspicious when you talk about curing diseases? Calling Huangquan Pavilion is unnecessary."

"So, weird things happen frequently there!" Chen Xiu lowered his voice, as if he was telling a ghost story, "Madame Cui told my mother that she heard a relative and female official in the palace tell that every time the emperor gets married, , then a big event will happen in the Yuan Pavilion.”

"What's the big deal?" Sikong Zhaixing backed away silently at some point - the Thief King is more curious than a cat and less courageous than a mouse, can't he? !

"The gate of the Xiangyu Pavilion will be opened, but people are going out." Chen Xiu would go up when he drank, and it only subsided a little now, and it was all in vain.

"Going outside?" Lu Xiaofeng asked him, "Are they all living people? Are they recovering from illness?" There has always been a constant flow of people in and out of this Quniao Pavilion.

Before Chen Xiu could answer, the door was kicked open again with a bang.

Boss Chen is very depressed. Why do people keep kicking his door today? Do you really think that he is easy to mess with eating all over the world?If he is in a hurry, he will also be able to move rescuers, okay? Very effective rescuers.
