[Comprehensive] Flowers are blooming

Anyone looking for Huamanlou?

There are not many people who are familiar with Huamanlou in Beijing. It can be said that they can be counted on one hand. Who is looking for Huamanlou at this time?Hua Manlou was puzzled, and naturally Lu Xiaofeng would not know who came.

The two went downstairs one after the other, Lu Xiaofeng boredly followed Hua Manlou, playing with his belt, with the expression of "I'm not interested in who it is", even if Hua Manlou couldn't see it, he could feel Lu Xiaofeng's— -unwilling.Lu Xiaofeng was unhappy, but Huamanlou was in a surprisingly good mood.

It turned out that seeing Lu Xiaofeng deflated was a pleasant thing.

When they came downstairs, Huamanlou suddenly smiled, Lu Xiaofeng frowned, and then stood up from behind, standing side by side with Huamanlou.

"It turned out to be Lord Li."

"Young man, it's weird to call you like that." Li Xunhuan was not used to this kind of address, but he couldn't think of what to call him for a while, so he could only change the subject and said, "Young man, I'm afraid you didn't come to the capital. Visiting relatives, there is only one incident in Beijing recently that can attract two people to Beijing at the same time."

"What do you want to say?" Before Hua Manlou could answer, Lu Xiaofeng had already seen the purpose of Li Xunhuan's visit, which was to talk about Jin Buxiao's death.

Li Xunhuan smiled slightly, it seemed that Lu Xiaofeng's actions just now were a funny thing, but he still replied in a good manner: "If you two believe me, come with me to a place, there may be something you want to know."

Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng were both taken aback.

Li Xunhuan is an attendant of the Imperial Academy, how could he investigate the case, isn't this case already handed over to Six Doors?Lu Xiaofeng looked at Hua Manlou, who nodded slightly.

"Please lead the way."

This is the promise to go.

Even though he knew that Li Xunhuan in front of him would not be a bad person, Lu Xiaofeng somehow didn't want to act together with him, because—in all respects, Hua Manlou and Li Xunhuan looked like people who could recite poems and compose poems together, and talk about the past and the present.

Li Xunhuan was aware of Lu Xiaofeng's hostility, but occasionally working in the Imperial Academy is too boring, so it's okay to intervene in such interesting things.

The three of them were walking on the streets of the capital, and many girls who were waiting to be married saw them, blushing and stealing glances at the three handsome and elegant men, two of them had a gentle temperament, one was chic, and besides, this one was like a crown jade. The young master holding the fan had a smile on his lips all the time, as gentle as a spring breeze in March.

Let's look at another young man in blue robe, this year's hottest person in Beijing, Li Tanhua, No.3 in the imperial examination, not only looks better than Pan An, but also has a lot of knowledge, and now he is a servant of the Imperial Academy, he is really a dragon and a phoenix.

As for the handsome knight in purple clothes, although the four eyebrows are funny, but...

"Miss, come back to your senses."

"I hate it, you damn girl! It's really—" Lu Xiaofeng stared at it for a while, and then stood there, lost her soul.

Lu Xiaofeng turned his head in satisfaction, and smiled proudly at Huamanlou.

Hua Manlou shook his head helplessly, closed his fan and said: "Lu Xiaofeng, your temperament is the same everywhere, don't let us leave the capital some other day, we will be entangled."

"Only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light the lamps? The building is full of flowers, I didn't expect such a person." After Lu Xiaofeng finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Li Xunhuan and said, "Li Tanhua, now you are a nobleman in Beijing, doesn't it mean that no one came to propose marriage to you Is it? This is a strange thing, a strange thing."

Who knows, the top three in the imperial examination, if they don't have wives at home, the prime ministers, academicians, and generals in Beijing would not want to promote a confidant in the court. Of course, such a confidant is the best son-in-law.

marriage?

"If you haven't succeeded yet, how can you talk about marrying a wife?"

Li Xun Huan seemed to have thought of something, the smile on his face was much gentler, not the usual polite smile, it was a little more real.When Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows, he instantly regained his energy and was in a good mood.

"It must be a stunning beauty."

"Just kidding."

A group of three people, Li Xunhuan said that he came to find Huamanlou, but he didn't say a few words to Huamanlou along the way, it's not that Huamanlou is alienated, it's just that Lu Xiaofeng suddenly changed his temperament and attitude, and called Li Xunhuan a brother, talked up.

Lu Xiaofeng and the others came to the place Li Xunhuan had mentioned. Li Xunhuan pushed open the somewhat dilapidated door and entered the courtyard. An old woman was sitting in the courtyard picking beans. She raised her head after hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, and looked at the three of them. After sweeping, it finally landed on Li Xunhuan.

"The woman has seen Lord Li and the two adults."

Li Xun Huan waved his hand and said, "Aunt Wang is telling me not to come here again, no need to be polite, I'm here to ask questions."

"My lord asks you something, and the women of the people must tell you the truth."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Aunt Wang, suddenly understood, and then looked at Li Xunhuan with some recognition and affirmation in his eyes, at least he didn't think he was a little boy like before.

Huamanlou was in an unfamiliar environment, and it was not easy to describe himself freely. After entering the courtyard gate, he stood where he was and did not go any further. I don't know the furnishings in the courtyard.Lu Xiaofeng found a place to sit down, and shouted: "Hua Man Lou, there is a stool next to me, come and sit, if you stand like this, your neck hurts when Madam talks to us."

Her ears are as sensitive as flowers, and when she heard Lu Xiaofeng's voice, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she nodded slightly, walked towards Lu Xiaofeng, and sat down beside him exactly.

Seeing this scene, Li Xun Huan and Aunt Wang were both taken aback. Li Xun Huan knew that Hua Man Lou was blind, but he also knew how powerful he was, but seeing him today, he was much stronger than the rumors.On the other hand, Aunt Wang sighed and shook her head, "This young master's eyesight is not good, it's a pity."

"Ma'am, there is no need to feel sorry for Hua. I can't see or see the world. I don't feel that I am different from ordinary people."

"It's rare to see such a broad-minded person as the young master." After finishing speaking, Aunt Wang wiped her hands on her apron, went into the room and poured a glass of water for the three of them, and sat down, "The three of you are here because of my former employer's okay?"

"Mother knows?"

Aunt Wang seemed to remember when she was working in the Jinbuxiao Mansion, she shook her head and said, "Master Jin treats his servants well, and those who help him are very loyal to him. I entered the mansion ten years ago, and that At that time, Mr. Jin seemed to have only been in Beijing for a few years, but the jade shop seemed to have become a big shop in Beijing overnight. When I entered the mansion, Mr. Jin was already a prominent figure in the city. , until half a year ago, I was picked up by my son from the mansion to enjoy the blessings."

overnight?

Li Xun Huan didn't want to pay attention to these things, sitting on the side, didn't know how much he listened to.But Huamanlou is different from Lu Xiaofeng, this matter is related to Xue Linglong's whereabouts, and Huamanlou's life is also taken with him, so we can't miss any clues.

"Auntie, during the time in the Jin Mansion, did Master Jin have close contacts with anyone?"

"Master seldom goes out of Beijing. They are usually business friends, and there are no special friends. The eldest wife and several wives in the house are all ladies in Beijing who have married and entered the door one after another. However, the fourth wife seems to be brought by the master when he leaves Beijing. He came back, but his life was short, he passed away three years ago." As Aunt Wang said, Lu Xiaofeng frowned and thought about the details inside.

"The relationship between the master and the wife is good, and the wives don't compete for favor. They live in their own yards. The two young masters and the eldest lady are not as arrogant as ordinary rich and noble families, but they are not very old... Hey, this time The news of Master's death may make them sad."

"Do you know where the ladies and gentlemen have been sent?"

"It is said that it is the hometown of the master, but I don't know where it is. The people in the mansion don't know where the hometown of the master is. They only know that the master went out to make a living when he was young."

Hua Manlou pondered for a while, and then asked: "Then do you know where Master Jin brought this fourth lady back?" Then why did he bring back a fourth wife from outside Beijing when he already had three wives.

Lu Xiaofeng on the side stared at Hua Manlou and smiled tacitly.

"It seems to be in the south, hey, that time the master went out for a whole three months, and he didn't even catch up with the time when the eldest lady gave birth to the eldest son. It was already a full moon when the eldest son came back. To compensate the elder master, the master even held a banquet for three days. Visitors are not limited." Aunt Wang recalled the events back then, her memory was so clear that Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but nod.

After asking some more questions about Jin Buxiao, Lu Hua and the others didn't get any more clues.Aunt Wang was just a servant in Jin Buxiao's mansion, and she couldn't get in touch with many things. After a quarter of an hour, the three of them left the yard.

Hua Manlou walked between the two of them, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Brother Li this time."

"It's a small effort, but I happen to be a little interested in this matter, but now I don't have time to accompany you two to continue investigating the truth, so I will leave first."

"Thank you."

"The building is full of flowers."

"Split up."

"Right on my mind."

Lu Xiaofeng was walking beside Hua Manlou, thinking of Li Xunhuan, he couldn't help asking: "In your opinion, why does this Li Tanhua help the two of us? Since this kind of thing involves the court, a smart person should protect himself wisely." , shouldn’t get mixed up and set yourself on fire.”

Lu Xiaofeng's words were indeed somewhat reasonable.

They haven't known each other for a long time, but only met a few times. If he has such a relationship with Lu Xiaofeng, it is understandable, but a friend who is not a friend is a bit far-fetched.

"I will continue to investigate this matter in Beijing, you go to Jinling."

"Well, be careful, see you at the inn in half a month."

"Lu Xiaofeng."

Huamanlou called to stop Lu Xiaofeng who was about to leave. Hearing the voice, Lu Xiaofeng turned around and saw that Huamanlou was staring at him with a smile. He raised his arms clearly, hugged them to his chest, raised his chin slightly and said, "Ring, I Take it with you, and don’t lose the concentric lock.”

Huamanlou's mother's ring has always been in Lu Xiaofeng's place. This thing can represent Huamanlou, and naturally it represents the Hua family.Jiangnan belongs to the sphere of influence of the Hua family, Lu Xiaofeng went to Jinling now, with this thing, it will be much easier to do many things, at least, the power of the Hua family can be dispatched at will.

Then Lu Xiaofeng disappeared on the street, Hua Manlou turned around, opened the folding fan, and walked back to the inn as before, as if nothing happened.
