[Comprehensive] leaning on flowers and bamboo

Zhuofeng invited Huamanlou into the house. On the table was a pot of brightly colored roses, beautiful in appearance, with large buds and neatly trimmed branches and leaves.

Zhuo Feng knew that Huamanlou could not see, so he whispered: "Is the fragrance of this flower very charming? I know you think so too, but no one has smelled the smell of this flower. You are the second one, and I am the first." This is my favorite pot, I named it 'Drunk Fairy', the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating, every time I smell the fragrance of flowers and go to bed, the dream world becomes extraordinarily beautiful."

Huamanlou was startled when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "The fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and this pot of drunken fairy has been brought out, which already makes people feel as if they are in a fairyland."

"Young Master Hua is really my bosom friend. Only you and I can appreciate this flower. The rest of the people are not worthy of seeing this flower." After Zhuo Feng finished speaking, he looked at Hua Manlou and suddenly said, "Young Master Hua, why don't you stay here?" Come down, I can play chess with you, and... there are a lot of flowers here, I am afraid to introduce them to you one by one, what do you think?"

Zhuo Feng is very indifferent to outsiders, but he is particularly enthusiastic about the rose, as if he puts all his enthusiasm on it, so he doesn't care so much about other things.

Even if she couldn't see Zhuo Feng's expression, Hua Manlou knew that Zhuo Feng must be looking forward to it, waiting for his answer, waiting for him to stay.Facing Zhuo Feng's eagerness, Hua Manlou had his own plans in mind. For Zhuo Feng, this was naturally the best opportunity to get close to him. If he missed it, then it would definitely not be so easy to get close to Zhuo Feng next time.

Thinking about it this way, Hua Manlou said: "Master Zhuo wants to stay, Hua has no reason to refuse, but I'm going to disturb Master Zhuo tonight."

Zhuo Feng immediately laughed and said: "Where is the Playboy, Zhuo Feng is lucky to be here. A person who loves flowers and plants like Playboy must be a warm-hearted person. If you don't mind, don't call him so polite."

"Well, Hua is the seventh in the family. Brother Zhuo can call me Hua Qi."

"Brother Hua was originally from the Hua family. This Hua family was originally a famous family. I had heard of it before, but I didn't know that there were people as elegant as Brother Hua in the Hua family. However, there are many literati in the rivers and lakes. .”

Hua Manlou heard the words and said: "Brother Zhuo is quite knowledgeable, I didn't expect to know the things in the Jianghu." Hua Manlou thought for a while and said: "I have to send someone to send a letter to Taoist Palace, The friends who were with me may be worried if they don’t see me going back, so it’s better to let them know.”

"It just so happens that a buyer is coming to my place later. If Brother Hua doesn't mind, let him take the letter back to you, but where does Brother Hua live in the city?" Zhuo Feng is building some other rose plants in the house. Zhiye asked casually, "I still don't know why Brother Hua came to Xiangyang, is he here to visit relatives and friends?"

This is said here at Huamanlou, so Zhuo Feng naturally knows that Zhuo Feng wants to know, "I live in the palace with my friends. We came from the capital and happened to have some old friends with the prince, so we investigate and handle the case for the prince. The theft of the palace is a big deal, ah Ce is looking for clues in the city, but it is a pity that he has been unable to do anything so far."

Zhuo Feng smiled, "This thief is so vicious that he even dared to steal things from the palace, but Brother Hua's friend is surnamed Gongsun, is he the real son of Gongsun, the governor of Luzhou? I remember that Gongsun really had an only son, who was in The capital city and Bao Zheng caused chaos in the capital city, and they broke up the Eight Sage Kings and the Three Lian Kings, they are the pillars of the country, the pillars of the future, and the great Song Dynasty has a large number of talents, the court should treat them well."

"There are a lot of talents in the Great Song Dynasty, Ah Ce and Bao Zheng are just one of them."

"Brother Hua has unique insights, I admire you."

Hua Manlou was left behind, and when the purchaser came, Hua Manlou handed the letter he had written to the man and said, "Brother, please send this letter to the palace, saying that it is for Gongsun Ce , the other party will naturally hand it over to him.”

"Young master, I will take it with you. Don't worry, young master."

"Thank you."

After Hua Manlou finished speaking, she turned around and sat on the side, sniffing the fragrance of the flowers, secretly pinched her fingertips, and then asked, "Brother Zhuo, why didn't you continue talking? Where did we go just now?"

"Speaking of the way to grow flowers."

Zhuo Feng sat down, poured a cup of tea for Hua Manlou, and said, "Brother Hua and Mr. Gongsun have such a good relationship. It seems that you have known each other for a long time, right? I just heard that Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng were inseparable and always together. Thinking of only two years, Gongsun Ce is with you."

"A Ce can get along well with anyone."

"Mr. Gongsun seems not to be interested in these flowers, and he doesn't seem to know martial arts. How did you know each other?" Zhuo Feng asked curiously, and brought a plate of snacks, "I have been here by myself for many years, and I have lived here for four years. Thinking about it, Miss Shan is the only one who walks closer in Xiangyang City, but Miss Shan is a true lover of flowers, I think... it is good to have a confidant."

"Miss Shan admires Brother Zhuo very much."

Zhuo Feng heard the meaning of Hua Manlou's words, and said with a smile: "Brother Hua, don't make casual connections. Miss Shan has a marriage partner. I am just friends with her who are both teachers and friends. She likes flowers. , I learned some skills from me, and I can be regarded as her teacher, and the spread of these words will not be good for the reputation of the girl's family."

"Hua was careless."

"Brother Hua, won't you tell me about you and Mr. Gongsun? You should have had a lot of experiences together. The two of you don't look like ordinary people. They are the objects of attention wherever you go." Zhuo Feng finished speaking Said: "Besides, I have stayed here for too long and want to hear about the outside world."

Things outside?How is the outside world?

Zhuo Feng stayed in Xiangyang City for many years, and during the four years, he only managed the flower garden, and never went to other places, let alone returned to Luoyang.Hua Manlou is a friend to Zhuo Feng, but he has scruples.

"Brother Zhuo wants to know, he likes to listen to things outside, so of course Hua has no reason not to talk about it, and it's not an interesting thing, but it was two years ago in the spring, I was chased to the back of the academy where A Ce taught, I was rescued by him, and it happened that something happened to him, and I was worried that those enemies would follow him, so I went to the capital with him." Hua Manlou said, thinking of Gongsun Ce's rude attitude at that time, and the whole person during the time when he was blind The edges and corners are all ground off.

To Gongsun Ce, being blind is like losing the confidence to be proud and confident.

"Gongsun Ce is a character."

"He's just an ordinary person." A very ordinary person, he just has some talent, arrogance and know how to deal with the world.

"Is it really just an ordinary person? But everyone is special, even these roses are different, I prefer to deal with them, because they are not complicated, and they will be the most direct My thoughts tell you that if you feel uncomfortable, the buds and branches will slowly wither, and if you take good care of them, they will bloom brilliantly, and this is their reward for you." Zhuo Feng looked at these roses obsessively, as if It's like looking at a loved one.

Hua Manlou sat there without speaking, listening to Zhuo Feng's words, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When he returned to the palace the next day, Gongsun Ce was still waiting for him in the room. Seeing him come back, he looked him up and down and was relieved to see that Huamanlou was intact. "You really scared me to death, how could you agree to Zhuo Feng to stay there?"

"Is the letter brought to you yesterday still there?"

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Of course, and I found out that the message you gave me, this letter...was opened by someone before I got it, maybe even the person who opened it thought he did it perfectly. , but never imagined that you tampered with the letter."

Listening to Gongsun Ce's words, Hua Manlou couldn't help laughing and said, "Then tell me what kind of manipulation it is."

"You touched the flowers on the letter paper. These flowers are only found on the letter paper, and they are generally invisible. They are not on the envelope, but you take out the letter inside, and then put the letter in it. Huamifen will stand on the envelope, which naturally means that someone has opened it." Gongsun Ce took out the letter and put it on the table, "That Zhuo Feng really has a problem."

Hua Manlou sat down and said: "Zhuo Feng's motive for committing the crime is still unknown. It was really him, but why did he steal Zhao Jue's seal? What is the use of this seal to him? Or did he know that Zhao Jue Some kind of conspiracy or..."

"What did he tell you?"

"I just praised you and Bao Zheng as the pillars of the country. From the words, I know that he has a very good relationship with Miss Shan, but there is no relationship with Miss Shan, and... his obsession with those roses is beyond the range that ordinary people can accept. "Hua Manlou paused for a moment and continued: "Those roses may have a story."

Gongsun Ce nodded when he heard the words, frowned and said: "There is no clue at Catcher Gao, and we can't find out about Bao Zheng for the time being, but it's good to be sure that Bao Zheng is not in their hands. As for Zhuo Feng, I will I thought that if I could know what happened to him in Luoyang, I would know why he became what he is now."

"Luoyang is a long way from Xiangyang, I'm afraid I have to make a trip."

"Zhan Zhao."

"Do you, Bao Zheng, let Zhan Zhao run errands every time?"

"In the past when we were together, only Chu Chu and Zhan Zhao were more skilled. A girl like Chu Chu couldn't let her go. Bao Zheng and I didn't travel fast. If something like this happened, we wouldn't be able to make it back in two days. .” Every time a case encounters such a thing, Zhan Zhao is the only one to go.

Hua Manlou smiled and said: "Actually, you can let Lu Xiaofeng go, Lu Xiaofeng's qinggong is better than mine."

"I'm sorry to bother you." Gongsun Ce smiled, "It's good for Zhan Zhao to grow his body, run more, Yutang's wounds are starting to heal, and it's good for Lu Xiaofeng to stay, otherwise if there are troubles, Zhan Zhao will deal with them It’s definitely not possible to take care of Yutang.”

After Gongsun Ce said that, Hua Manlou could only nod.

But thinking of Zhuo Feng, I couldn't help feeling sorry.

Whether it is kung fu or talking, he is a hero among men, which is a pity.But there is always such a thing in the world, good people are not good people, what you believe is not like that, and what you don't believe is often like that.
