[New Smiling Proud_Lu Xiaofeng] The leader and flower god

After hearing this, Hua Manlou shook his head helplessly, and asked, "Dongfang, are you trying to make me angry on purpose?"

Dongfang Bubai laughed dumbfounded, yes, she just wanted to make Hua Manlou angry on purpose.But to make this confidant angry is simply self-deception.She strolled to the green screened window and saw the peonies blooming in the potted plants under the window. She picked a petal and played with it with her fingertips.Hua Manlou said earnestly and earnestly from behind: "Dongfang, with me here, you will be fine. For now, you should rest well and don't think so much."

"Um".she agreed.But I laughed at myself in my heart: the spring is infinitely good now, so why bother yourself.Hearing her relaxed tone, Hua Manlou felt relieved and worried at the same time.He was gratified that the hostility on Dongfang Bubai had eased a lot.The worry is when the poison on her body will be cured.

But Hua Manlou was not afraid in his heart, ever since he knew that she was poisoned, he was stronger than ever.Huamanlou had ordered her servants to give her the best food and clothing.Dongfang Bubai must be very happy in Huajiazhuang... It's just a pity that he can't see all the beautiful scenery in the world with her during the flower falling season.

After a few days, the drizzle began to fall.Above the eaves of the west wing, the rain is pouring down.The fallen branches are red and the ground is in a mess.

In the morning, night had just receded.Huamanlou woke up from his sleep. As soon as he woke up, he heard the sound of rain beating the broken flowers and leaves.After washing up, Hua Manlou went straight to the West Wing.He just walked to the door and wanted to reach out and push the door open.In the end, Dongfang Bubai pushed the door open first.At this time, Dongfang Bubai looks very good - this is the reason why Hua Ruling stewed ginseng and bird's nest soup for her every day as a "big tonic".

Dongfang Bubai was holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, she walked out of the room and opened the umbrella.He turned around and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

"Let's relax." Hua Manlou took her hand, walked into the rain, and said, "I see you're bored, so I'll take you out for a walk."

Dongfang Bubai let out an "um", followed Huamanlou out of Huajiazhuang, and came to the street.The continuous spring rain that does not stop weaves into a big net, covering the ancient capital of Jinling.In the misty rain, there are fewer pedestrians on the street, but the business of the tea shop and hotel is very good: people in the south of the Yangtze River like to take advantage of the rainy day to come here to steal a day of leisure.

Walking on the street, Dongfang Bubai suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are you here to take me shopping?"

Hua Manlou looked sideways and asked, "What's wrong?"

Dongfang Bubai asked: "How do you know which store is where?"

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "You bully me as a blind man?"

Dongfang Bubai said disapprovingly: "Of course not. But you said you would take me for a walk before. Now it seems that I will take you for a walk."

Her tone was rather smug.

Hua Manlou suddenly stretched out a hand, pointed to the front, and said abruptly, "Fifty steps ahead from here, there is a rouge shop. To the left of the rouge shop is Longsheng Tea House. To the right is Cyclamen Restaurant." Then Pointing to the right, he said: "There should be Zhang Ji's pawnshop. On the left of the pawnshop is Zhenlongfang. On the right is a small path. If you go down the path, turn left until you reach a big pagoda tree. It will lead to Wuyi Lane ..."

Dongfang Bubai opened his eyes wide and asked curiously, "How do you know?"

Hua Manlou said: "Don't forget, I have lived in Yingtian Mansion for more than 20 years. And I am not born blind."

Dongfang Bubai asked: "Why are you blind?"

Hua Manlou said: "Because I met a big thief."

"So, you were blinded by someone?" Dongfang Bubai's eyes turned cold, and he gritted his teeth every word: "Which bastard did it? I must kill him to avenge you!"

Hua Manlou shook his head and said, "It's okay not to mention the past. Dongfang, I appreciate your broad mind. Not only can you forgive those who have made mistakes, but you can also let go of past hatred and save Wuyue from fire and water. Since you can do it, I can do it too. If the past regrets blind my eyes and prevent me from seeing the hope of the future, what difference does it make if I am blind or not?"

"..." After hearing these words, Dongfang Bubai suddenly felt a little moved.For decades in the rivers and lakes, there has never been a single person who can make her feel "admired".Even Feng Qingyang who saved her life couldn't.But right now, she is indeed admiring Huamanlou.The heart that admires him is like a child, pure and flawless.

Hua Manlou took her hand, said with a smile, "Come on, I'll show you around the rouge shop." After speaking, he took the oil-paper umbrella from Dongfang Bubai's hand, and pulled her towards the rouge shop.Seeing that his steps are steady, there is not even the slightest deviation in the direction he is walking.Dongfang Bubai finally understood: Hua Manlou was indeed taking her shopping.

Entering the rouge shop, I saw hundreds of kinds of rouge, large and small, placed on the brocade satin incense table.Dongfang Bubai picked up a box of rouge by the way, opened the lid, and a refreshing sandalwood scent came slowly.Dongfang Bubai asked: "What kind of rouge is this?"

Hua Manlou said from the side: "This is Shengtanxin Rouge. This kind of rouge tastes too old, and it is not suitable for women who have not left the court."

She took another box of rouge casually, and when she opened it, an elegant fragrance came to her nostrils.She asked Huamanlou again.Hua Manlou smiled and said, "This is the best tender Wuxiang rouge."

Dongfang Bubai choked.I opened several boxes casually.Hua Manlou said unhurriedly: "This is Orangutan Dizzy." "This is Xiao Zhulong." "This is Ge Shuangtang..." Listening to him tell the varieties of these rouges in detail.Dongfang Bubai became angry for no reason, and she put down the last box of rouge.Instead, he asked seriously, "Have you made friends with many women?"

Hua Manlou said honestly, "No."

Dongfang Bubai didn't believe it.The types of rouge used by these daughters, even she can only identify sixteen of them.Huamanlou is so familiar... the situation is suspicious!So she said, "I don't believe it." Her tone was really angry and sour.That's right, Dongfang Bubai is jealous, which girl has ever accepted Huamanlou's rouge.

Thinking of this, she felt sullen, really pissed off.So she picked up the umbrella and said, "I went shopping. As punishment, you stay here and wait for me!"

Hua Manlou wanted to explain something.But she interrupted again: "Don't make excuses, a man has to be punished for doing something wrong. I think Tian Boguang was punished badly by me back then, you don't want to be a monk like him, do you?" What did she think of? He touched his pocket, turned around and asked, "Do you have any silver with you?"

Hua Manlou took out a bag of silver.Dongfang Bubai accepted it in satisfaction, and said: "I'll go shopping around, you will wait here for me, don't run around!"

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Understood. You just don't want to run around, otherwise I'll find you somewhere."

Dongfang Bubai's face was reddish, but he snorted coldly, and walked out without saying hello.

On the street, pedestrians are in a hurry.

Dongfang Bubai was shopping alone with an oil-paper umbrella.Although it rained today and the street market was much deserted, Jinling still lived up to its reputation as a "prosperous place".With fewer people, there are more carriages and horses.From time to time, the sound of rumbling wheels came from a distance, and then a certain family's carriage passed by her.The sound of horses bleating and the sound of drivers driving cars mixed together, which also added a little joy to the deserted market.

Dongfang Bubai walked along boredly, she deliberately left Hua Manlou in the rouge shop to make him anxious.Her heart has always been arrogant, and she can't help venting her grievances when encountering such things.Who let Huamanlou offend her?

She was thinking about it, when suddenly there was a clear and clear voice: "Sell wine, sell wine!" At first she didn't care, but when she approached the restaurant, the clear voice called out to her in surprise Said: "Big sister!"

Dongfang Bubai looked up, and saw a [-]-year-old girl buying wine in the restaurant in front of her.Seeing her, the girl waved her wrist excitedly, and shouted: "Big sister, here, here!" Dongfang Bubai recalled: This was the girl she had rescued on the road from Quanzhou to Yingtianfu: at that time, the singing singer The girl was molested by a group of officers, which disturbed her pleasure, so Dongfang Bubai took action to teach them a lesson.Didn't expect them to meet here.

Dongfang Bubai said lightly: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

The girl excitedly said: "Big sister, I thought I would never see you again. My name is Qiuying, and you can call me Xiaoqiu." As she spoke, she introduced Dongfang Bubai into the small restaurant.The restaurant is very small, with only five or six tables and chairs, and three rice wine vats.The girl poured a glass of yellow rice wine for Dongfang Bubai, and said, "Sister, thank you for excused us that day. My father and I moved to Jinling after that. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Dongfang Bubai said: "Unexpectedly, you still remember me."

Xiao Qiu said: "Of course I remember. Maybe for a hero like my sister, saving poor people like us is nothing, but my father and I will remember your kindness forever."

After hearing this, Dongfang Bubai was a little happy.Then Xiaoqiu chattered a lot, and was very enthusiastic about Dongfang Bubai.Before he knew it, Dongfang Bubai's depressed mood was swept away.She picked up the wine glass, took a sip and put it down.Said: "Xiaoqiu, I remember that the song you sang that day was quite good. Can you sing it now?"

Xiaoqiu smiled and said, "Of course." After speaking, she began to sing, the singing voice was as beautiful and melodious as before.It's just that Xiaoqiu didn't sing a few lines before being interrupted by the sound of cars and horses rattling.

An ordinary carriage stopped in front of the wine shop.Xiaoqiu glanced at Dongfang Bubai apologetically, and went to greet the guests.Dongfang Bubai's eyes also leaned over, and saw Xiao Qiu opened the curtain of the car, and then a young man in white came down from the car.As soon as the young master got out of the car, there were two maidservants holding umbrellas competing to cover him from the rain.But the young master just smiled and walked into the restaurant without saying anything.

There are only three tables in the restaurant, and the young master does not sit in the middle one, nor does he sit in the left one.But sitting opposite Dongfang Bubai.

Then a steady voice came: "Give me three bowls of rice wine."

Dongfang Bubai turned his head slightly, and saw this young man clearly: he looked like a weak scholar, and he was dressed in white clothes, which were very clean and tidy.His aura is not very strong, so he should not be a martial artist.Of course, the young man in white also saw Dongfang Bubai clearly, his eyes showed surprise, and then he said: "In Xia Gongjiu, dare to ask the girl's name?"

Dongfang Bubai continued to drink.

Gong Jiu smiled awkwardly: "It's fate to meet by chance, isn't the girl willing to tell me your name?"

Dongfang Bubai stood up and said, "Xiaoqiu, pay the bill!"

Xiaoqiu rushed over and said, "Sister Dongfang, please don't miss me. This bowl of wine is my thank you."

After hearing this, Gong Jiu said with a smile: "So it's Miss Dongfang. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Dongfang Bubai casually glanced at Gong Jiu, and suddenly she felt a chill in her heart: I don't know why, seeing this young man Smiling face, there was an eerie feeling in her heart.Dongfang Bubai turned around, wondering if he was thinking too much.Seeing that it was getting late, thinking that Huamanlou was still waiting for her at the rouge shop, Dongfang Bubai bid farewell to Xiaoqiu, held up an umbrella and walked into the rain.

Turning around an alley, the rain was getting heavier, the sky was dripping with water, and the continuous rain hit Dongfang Bubai's face, making it chilly.Dongfang Bubai walked alone on the street.When passing by Bird's Clothes Lane, she remembered what Hua Manlou said, so she turned into Bird's Clothes Lane, trying to find the big pagoda tree, so she could take a shortcut and rush to the rouge shop.

The alleys are winding and exquisite, and the rain is getting heavier.Dongfang Unbeaten went deeper and deeper.By the time she got under the big tree, several hours had passed.Dongfang Bubai had to admire Huamanlou's memory. The alleys inside were long and narrow, how did he remember them?Just as she was about to go out on the right path, she suddenly heard a shout from behind:

"Oriental girl!"

Dongfang Bubai turned around to look, but it was Gong Jiu, the white-clothed scholar whom he met in the wine shop just now, chasing him in the rain.
