Mei Jingxian recalled the "discussion" with Ximen Chuuxue back then. Among the people who witnessed it at the time, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were friends of Ximen Chuuxue. In order to save face, he confided to others the details of the opponent's defeat by him.

It is possible for Shangguan Danfeng and Yan Tieshan, but after more than half a month, there is no reason for them to suddenly do something like this.

Although Dugu Yihe and his four female apprentices, who came later, knew about this incident from Yan Tieshan, they didn't know the details.

But in the current rumors, it was even clearly described that he broke Ximen Chuuxue's hair during the duel.

The rumors about him are getting more and more intense now, and it is absolutely impossible if there is no one behind it.

But what was the other party trying so hard to make him famous?

While thinking a lot, he walked past a corner, and a gust of breeze blew in, bringing a burst of fragrance of flowers.

Turning the boots with white silver silk embroidered patterns, the boy changed direction on a whim.

After walking a few steps following the fragrance of flowers in the wind, a small building full of flowers appeared in front of my eyes.

Mei Jingxian stepped into the small building in two steps, and all kinds of flowers bloomed as far as he could see, such as osmanthus, autumn chrysanthemum, crabapple, hibiscus and many other unknown flowers. Blooming unique beautiful colors.

He looked around, happy with the flowers all over the building, but there was no one around, so he couldn't help asking: "Is the store here?"

"Mr. Mei?"

A somewhat familiar voice sounded, "Why is Mr. Mei here?"

Mei Jingxian looked up and saw an elegant and gentle man coming down the stairs slowly, "Young man?"

"It's been more than half a month since the last time I left the Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion. I never expected to meet Mr. Mei in Jiangnan." With a gentle smile on his face, Hua Manlou raised the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea, " Meeting each other is worse than meeting by chance, Mr. Mei, please sit down and try my West Lake Longjing."

Mei Jingxian had a good impression of the man who heard and described the true meaning of his song in detail at the first time, so he didn't refuse, sat down obediently, took a sip from his teacup, his eyes lit up, "fresh and pleasant People, sweet and delicious, thank you for the tea."

Ever since Huamanlou heard the young man's piano sound in Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion that day, he felt a sense of speculation in his heart. But at that time, he and Lu Xiaofeng had to concentrate on investigating the Qingyi Building, and the young man also hurriedly left a book on a certain day. Go, so there is no deep friendship.

He smiled, and said to the young man: "A pot of tea, can you get Mr. Mei's name?"

The young man smiled slightly, his delicate and elegant face was a little more beautiful, and it was not inferior against the flowers all over the building. "I have earned a pot of excellent West Lake Longjing for my humble name."

Both of them are mild-tempered people. They exchanged names and chatted a few words, and they felt more congenial. Unknowingly, most of the pot of tea was gone, and the relationship was also two points closer.

"...Huo Xiu is the mastermind behind the conquest of the wealth of the Jinpeng Dynasty. He was trapped in the cage he set up that day. Neither Boss Yan nor the leader of Dugu intended to take his life, but he was inexplicable. If he is dead, the power of Tsing Yi Building has been secretly taken by someone, and he has disappeared in the rivers and lakes." Hua Man Lou frowned again when he mentioned the follow-up of the Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion, thinking of the rumors he often heard recently, it was quite a bit strange. Very worried, "Coupled with the recent rumors about you, I always feel that there seems to be something abnormal behind it."

Mei Jingxian also had some doubts, but she wasn't too worried, "The soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth. I have done everything I have done since I left the school. I am worthy of my heart and people. No matter what the other party wants to do, I will do it in the end." Those who show signs, just accept the move."

"Jingxian is really open-minded." Hua Manlou remembered that those rumors did not mean to derogate the young man, so he put them down for the time being, "Speaking of which, you left a letter and left quietly, Princess Danfeng was quite worried, Lu Xiaofeng and I left At that time, we also asked us to find out about your whereabouts."

Princess Yidanfeng's state of mind at that time clearly showed her affection for the young man.Hua Manlou knew clearly, but he was gentle and considerate, and he didn't directly expose the woman's feelings at this moment.

Mei Jingxian lowered her eyes, and said calmly: "Boss Yan is loyal to Miss Shangguan, and treats her well. A woman like her shouldn't be running around in the rivers and lakes. It's best to stay in Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion."

Although Mei Jingxian didn't know Shangguan Danfeng's thoughts about her, she also noticed that the other party seemed to be overly dependent on her, which was of no benefit to an unmarried woman, and he didn't want to bear this dependence.

As soon as the young man said this, Hua Manlou also understood that the other party had no other thoughts about Shangguan Danfeng, so he didn't mention it.

"The flowers in Brother Hua's building are blooming really well, and I was led here by the fragrance of the flowers." Mei Jingxian looked at the surrounding flowers, and suddenly smiled shyly, "I'm ashamed to say, I thought this was a place for selling flowers and trees." land."

Huamanlou was a little surprised and a little funny, he loves flowers, so he planted this Manlou flowers himself, but it was the first time he was misunderstood like this.

Sensing the apology in the boy's voice, he shook his head indifferently, "I don't sell flowers in this small building, but if you want, I can give them to you."

"Thank you Seventh Brother Hua for your kindness, but the quantity I want is not small, so it's not good for Brother Hua Seventh to spend."

Mei Jingxian wanted plum blossoms.

He bought a courtyard in the west of the city, and after a short rest, he lived in it with Lin Shiyin.

The other courtyard is not big, but it has the characteristics of Yangzhou gardens. It is exquisite and exquisite. There is also a rockery and a waterfall in the courtyard. The clear water hits the lake and rocks, which is quite interesting.

But Mei Jingxian felt that the courtyard was too empty after living there for two days. She smelled the fragrance of flowers in the street just now and became interested, and planned to buy some flower plants for decoration.

Although it is still early for plum blossoms to bloom, Mei Jingxian doesn't mind waiting for a few months.

Mei Jingxian wanted a lot of plum trees, and there were only one or two in the small buildings full of flowers, so he offered to buy them for the flower farmers he knew well.

……

In the west corner of the city, there was a smooth sound of a piano coming from a small courtyard.

The black lacquered wooden door is half-hidden, leaving only a gap half a palm wide. Above the door is a square wooden plaque that is so simple that it has no trace of a pattern. There is only a large "Mei" character engraved on it, without a suffix. The font is rare, but Dragons and phoenixes dance, shaped like flying flowers, and as sharp as swords.

As dusk fell and the sky was half-dark, Mei Jingxian put away the qin, picked up some tea from the side and moistened her throat.

The smell of food came from the kitchen behind, as well as the man's concerned voice from time to time.

Mei Jingxian paused, put down the teacup in her hand, and looked at Huamanlou next to her with her phoenix eyes meaningless.

Sensing his gaze, Hua Manlou coughed uncomfortably, "It made Jingxian laugh."

A few days ago, all the plum trees that Mei Jingxian asked Huamanlou to help purchase had been planted. Although the season is not yet here, the plum trees are as bare as dry wood. Planting them in this beautiful small courtyard is not only out of place, but also damaged the courtyard the scenery itself.

But Mei Jingxian has always been patient and willing to wait for the flowers to bloom.

On the day when Huamanlou came to deliver the plum tree, it happened that the six elder brothers of his family came to see him in the small building. Seeing that he was going out to meet friends, they went together.

——And fell in love at first sight with a woman in a friend's family.

In the past few days, Hua Manxuan has been staying in Huamanlou's small building, and frequently hinted that he would visit Mei Jingxian's residence more often, and would look for opportunities to talk to Miss Lin as soon as he entered the door. Brother's mind.

Although Hua Manlou was also happy that his sixth brother, who had been single for many years, had a sweetheart, but facing the young man's eyes at the moment, he still felt a little embarrassed for his brother's behavior of coming to the door to express his love to him when he found an opportunity.

"It's okay," Mei Jingxian shook her head, "If Shiyin can find a good home, I will be happy for her too."

But Lin Shiyin experienced Li Xunhuan's experience, let alone to the point where she was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes, but it may not be easy for her to accept another relationship in such a short period of time.

"Master Hua Qi, Jingxian, dinner is ready." Lin Shiyin walked to the door and shouted.

Now, the lingering sorrow of love has been removed from her brows and eyes, and her whole person is more gentle and generous.

Wearing a white dress with a blue belt similar to Mei Jingxian's style, elegant and extravagant, completely different from the frail and frail appearance before.

After Mei Jingxian brought her here, she originally wanted to find two servants, but neither of them liked the presence of strangers in their residence, so they dismissed the idea and only hired a servant to clean it every once in a while.

Lin Shiyin didn't like to go out, so she had nothing to do every day except practicing piano and embroidery, so she set her heart on cooking, and now she can cook good dishes.

At the dinner table, Mei Jingxian and Hua Manlou had a quiet meal, occasionally chatting a few words, the one who talked the most was Hua Manxuan, the sixth son of the Hua family kept finding excuses to talk to Lin Shiyin, even if he got a simple one or two words There was a smile on his face in response.

Mei Jingxian looked at Lin Shiyin's expression, and seeing that her expression was normal and she answered politely, she knew that her thoughts were right.

It was already dark after the meal, no matter how much Mr. Hua felt reluctant, he was still dragged out of the door by Yaodi with a smile.

The days in Yangzhou were quite peaceful for Mei Jingxian. Except that the rumors about him had spread all over the streets and alleys, which made it inconvenient for him to go out now and had to reduce the time to go out, the days were still very comfortable.

And two months later, the rumors about him were replaced by new news.

An embroidered thief appeared in the rivers and lakes, and he committed sixty or seventy major crimes in a row within a month. The eighteen dendrobium pearls of the Southeast Palace, the seventy volumes of priceless calligraphy and paintings collected by Hua Yuxuan, and the 80 taels of silver darts from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau , a batch of red goods from Zhendong Security Bureau, 9 taels of gold leaves from Jinsha River...all were stolen.

The most serious thing is that a total of 150 million official banks used by the imperial court for flood relief in the southwest and severe drought in the northeast were also robbed, which shocked the government and the public. The robber was captured alive and publicly executed in the vegetable market as an example to others.
