There is West Lake in Hangzhou, and there is Baihualou by the West Lake, and there is Huamanlou in Baihualou.

The gate of Baihualou is always open. As soon as Zhao Huan entered the street where Baihualou was located, he could smell the refreshing fragrance of flowers in the air. When he stood in front of Baihualou, the fragrance was even more refreshing.

If you have been living here, it is estimated that you can save money on incense.

Zhao Huan thought seriously.

Fortunately, the system doesn't know what is going on in Zhao Huan's mind. If it knows that he is thinking about such things, it will probably be blocked and speechless.

Zhao Huan thought for a while, then raised his legs and walked into Baihualou.

Lu Xiaofeng watched from afar, and blinked curiously.

Huamanlou was sitting in the sun with the flowers basking in the sun, with a warm smile on his face, he heard footsteps, "looked" towards the stairs, and didn't speak.

"I'm here." Zhao Huan said, "I finally see you again, Huamanlou."

"Long time no see, Zhao Si."

Huamanlou smiled warmly.

Lu Xiaofeng flew into the room from the window and landed steadily: "..."

Zhao Si?

Isn't this boy named Jue Ming?

The three sat down at the table, Hua Manlou introduced Zhao Huan to Lu Xiaofeng, and introduced Lu Xiaofeng to Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan showed admiration when he learned that the red cloak was Lu Xiaofeng, and said: "So your Excellency is Lu Xiaofeng, I have admired you for a long time."

He said this seriously, and his expression really looked longing, Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Since you said you have admired me for a long time, you should know the name of my four eyebrows, why didn't you guess me in Yingfeng Inn?"

"I never thought you were Lu Xiaofeng." Zhao Huan said, "You are the first beautiful and famous person I have seen since I entered the rivers and lakes."

Lu Xiaofeng asked interestedly: "Entering the Jianghu? Weren't you in the Jianghu before?"

Zhao Huan said: "I was at home before."

Lu Xiaofeng choked: "..."

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Lu Xiaofeng, did you meet Cassia at Yingfeng Inn?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I went to Yangshuo Town at the appointment of Monkey Spirit, this kid named Zhao Si and Zhao Jueming worked in the Windward Inn there."

Zhao Huan agreed, "Yes."

Lu Xiaofeng waited and saw that he didn't intend to say something strange about what he said, and couldn't express his mood.

He could only speak by himself: "Do you know who that Wang Wu is?"

Zhao Huan wondered why Lu Xiaofeng would ask such a question, and said, "The waiter of Yingfeng Inn."

Lu Xiaofeng: "...Don't you think there's something strange about him?"

Zhao Huan: "Yes, I don't wash my face."

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng was really speechless, Hua Manlou said with a smile: "That waiter from Yingfeng Inn is Sikong Zhaixing, also the Monkey Spirit that Lu Xiaofeng said, he is his friend."

Zhao Huan suddenly realized: "Sikong Zhaixing? Stealing the king of kings?"

Lu Xiaofeng cheered up, and said: "The monkey spirit is going to compete with me on how long it takes to find him in the inn in Yangshuo Town. The bet is my red cloak. There are nearly ten inns in Yangshuo Town, and Yingfeng Inn is the fifth one. I bet Losing, he took my red cloak and my purse, and I left in a hurry to chase him."

Zhao Huan nodded and asked, "Did you get the money bag back?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "...less half."

Zhao Huan comforted him: "It's good to be able to recover half of the money from the king who stole the king."

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

He took a sip of his tea and couldn't help looking at Hua Manlou: "When did you meet such an interesting friend?"

Hua Manlou said: "Jiaming and I met two years ago, and he left after only ten days together. Now it's a reunion after a long absence."

----

It is now the sixth year of Zhenghe, and in the third year of Zhenghe, Zhao Huan once traveled to the south of the Yangtze River in the summer, and Bai Yutang accompanied him. The two parted ways outside Hangzhou. The former went back to Xingkong Island to visit his brother-in-law, while the latter wanted to see the beautiful scenery of the West Lake and couldn’t move. foot.

Before seeing the beauty of the West Lake again, Zhao Huan first met someone.

The man's name was Gu Xichao, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old at the time, but he had already passed the examination of scholar, but he was bullied because his mother was a brothel girl.When Zhao Huan saw him, the other party was holding a book that had been thrown into the ditch, staring sullenly at the laughing prankster not far away.

The young man's hair is slightly curly, loosely tied half-tied, and a strand of curly hair hangs down in front of his forehead. Parts are still fairly obvious.

The mischievous teenagers laughed and ran away, only the teenager was left holding the book, and the depression in his eyes was even heavier.

Sensing the figure standing not far away, the young man raised his eyes, Zhao Huan's figure came into his eyes, and the two met their gazes.

The young man looked at him coldly, saw his clothes and his face showed sarcasm, put away the book, and turned around to leave, but Zhao Huan called to him: "Sir, please stay."

The boy's footsteps paused, and he stopped to look at him.

Zhao Huan said: "I'm Zhao Si, dare to ask your surname?"

"..." The young man looked at him sarcastically, and said, "Miangui's surname is Gu, and his name is Xichao."

Zhao Huan took a look at the drenched book in Gu Xichao's hand, it was a handwritten book, the characters were written small to save paper, but it was still neat and elegant.He thought that his father would probably like this kind of characters, and then he generously took Gu Xichao to the bookstore to buy a new book with the same content.

After buying books for Gu Xichao, the boy looked at the little one who was two heads shorter than him, and asked, "Why did you do this?"

Zhao Huan replied: "Because I want to."

----

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but say, "Just because you want to?"

Zhao Huan said: "Yes. Afterwards I went to his house, who would have expected that group of bad kids to tear down Gu Xichao's thatched hut, and he had nowhere to go, so I took him to an inn, and he told me his life experience, I helped him find a place to live and bought books for him."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "But you haven't mentioned Huamanlou yet."

Zhao Huan said: "The house I found belongs to Huamanlou's family."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Huamanlou, who followed Zhao Huan's narration and remembered the past, with a smile on his face, and added in a timely manner: "Two years ago, one of my elder brothers came to Hangzhou to inspect the property, and I went to see it with him. When I met Jueming, I saw that he was not very old at that time, so I asked a few more questions."

At that time, both Huamanlou's third brother and Huamanlou were a little surprised. This young man, who even sounded a little immature, asked them a lot of matters seriously, and finalized everything.

They thought the boy was buying it for themselves, but they didn't expect the boy to bring another older boy over that night. The two brothers were even more surprised when they learned that they had known each other for only two days.

After two years, when talking about what happened back then, Hua Manlou calmed down a lot, but Lu Xiaofeng, a listener, couldn't help being surprised and curious, and looked at Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huanzheng was holding his face, listening to Huamanlou's speech seriously, when Huamanlou stopped, Lu Xiaofeng looked at him again, and he continued to Huamanlou and said, "Gu Xichao is very talented and talented, I am willing to help others."

Gu Xichao's house is a thatched house outside the city, and it is windy and rainy, and you can still see the sky from inside the house—even though Zhao Huan only had time to see the tragic death of the thatched house when he went there.

The young man who was bullied because of his background has a strong self-esteem. Zhao Huan originally helped him because he was young, smart and determined, but he did not believe in the unreasonable help from Chaodao, so he coldly refused. If we meet again, we will have to work for him for ten years.

He didn't tell Hua Manlou and Gu Xichao about these agreements, but Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng had a clear mind, seeing that Zhao Huan had such financial resources, he must be of extraordinary background, but he didn't ask too much.

If you ask everything, how can you make friends?

At that time, Hua Manlou and Zhao Huan hit it off, and they walked together several times with Zhao and Gu. People on the street saw the seventh son of the Hua family befriending the son of a prostitute, and they thought about it, so Gu Xichao's situation changed later. Well done.

After Zhao Huan added, he sighed again, saying: "In time, Gu Xichao will be participating in Chunwei this year, I don't know what he is going to do."

Lu Xiaofeng asked strangely: "Don't you know what he's going to do? Could it be that you and him haven't even passed the letter?"

Zhao Huan shook his head honestly: "Never."

He paused, and then said: "Hua Manlou and I haven't written a letter in the past two years."

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

He looked at Hua Manlou, and asked: "This Fourth Young Master Zhao doesn't know, but you, the Seventh Young Master Hua who lives in Hangzhou, should know?"

Hua Manlou sighed softly, and said: "Young Master Gu is studying behind closed doors, so I don't want to disturb him; although he works as an accountant in my shop to make a living, he only visits during the festivals."

This is just not knowing.

Mr. Gu Xichao, who had never met before, aroused people's curiosity, but Lu Xiaofeng was even more curious about the mysterious young man in front of him.

"Why did you enter the rivers and lakes?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked.

Neither the clothes nor the sword of Zhao Jueming were glamorous, but upon closer inspection, one could still see something extraordinary, and his behavior and demeanor were by no means from an ordinary family.

"In order to become pretty, No.1 in the world."

Zhao Huan said solemnly.

Although he is the crown prince, with the support of the emperor's father behind him, Zhuge Taifu's faction and Mr. Bao have already stood by his side. Even so, he still has to worry about other courtiers, and the opinions of different parties and factions are at odds. At this time Zhao Huan could only give his father some ideas when he complained, but he couldn't beat them to death.

He needs to have connections that belong only to him.

In addition, there is no common information among the people in the court. As the prince, Zhao Huan is only well-known in the court, but not in the rivers and lakes.

The rivers and lakes are wide, and if he changes his name and appearance, he will no longer be a prince, and he doesn't need to worry too much.

Therefore, Jianghu is the best place to earn prestige and recruit talents, Zhao Huan firmly believes so.

Lu Xiaofeng blinked, and the young man in crimson clothes in front of him could speak out his goal calmly, which made him appreciate it very much.

Although the rivers and lakes are dangerous, everyone yearns for them because of the hustle and bustle of the rivers and lakes, and being in them means entering the world.

Countless people want to win a place in the arena and become famous, but if they don't have the calmness and courage to say their wishes, they will not achieve anything.

Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly: "When you become No.1 in Jianghu, I will treat you to the best wine!"

Zhao Huan nodded: "You said, don't forget."

His tone was reasonable, as if he had already seen the future of becoming the No. 1 in Jianghu.

Lu Xiaofeng laughed even more cheerfully, and said: "You forget me, and I will never forget!"

Hua Manlou had a smile on his lips, although he couldn't see the expressions of the two of them, he also understood that Lu Xiaofeng had already intended to be close to Zhao Jueming.

The sun is warm in spring, the fragrance of flowers is pleasant, and the happy air permeates the second floor of Baihua Building.
