[Lu Hua] Beauty Fragrance

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the carriage from Wanmei Villa finally arrived at Hua’s house. Unexpectedly, Huamanlou was the first to return to Hua’s house when the other six children of Hua’s family went shopping, went on business trips, or traveled outside. Stay home.

Hua Tan has already turned gray at the temples, and has grown a gray goatee. When he saw Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou coming back together, he smiled, patted Lu Xiaofeng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You boy, you are growing stronger and stronger. I haven't come back to see Uncle Tan for so long, I've been hurting you for so many years!"

Lu Xiaofeng was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Uncle Tan, you have wronged me, I know you like to drink a few sips, this time I specially bought a few jars of high-quality plum blossom wine from Wanmei Villa, we two have a good time have a drink"

Huatan laughed so much that her face creases, and said hello a few times.

Hua Ruling is sitting in the study. He is over 60 years old, and most of the family business is handed over to his sons.His hair was already gray, his figure was no longer upright, and he always felt tired, so much so that he sat for many hours a day.

Both Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng saluted him in a respectful manner.

Because Huamanlou edited the book in advance and sent someone back to Huazhai, Hua Ruling knew something about the recent events, so she didn't ask any more questions, but just said lightly: "Go and see your mother, and tell her that you are back. "

"Yes"

Hua Ping lit three sticks of incense for each of Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng, and on the spirit tablet in front of him was neatly written in gold lacquer "Love Wife Huashi Qingyu".

"Mother, the son is back"

"Auntie, Little Phoenix is ​​back"

After paying homage to Mrs. Hua, Hua Ping went to the room with Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou with his things.Lu Xiaofeng's room has always been in the courtyard of Huamanlou.

When passing through the garden, Hua Ping smiled at a young woman in the opposite corridor, the girl was a little shy and ran away.

Lu Xiaofeng saw it, smiled and said: "Hua Ping, I heard from Hua Manlou that you got married last month. I was not in Jiangnan at that time, so I couldn't come to ask for a wedding drink. Now I finally meet you newlyweds. We have been married since we were young. We grew up together, this gift should be given.”

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and took out the gold left by Shaman from his bosom and threw it to Huaping.

Hua Ping rushed to pick it up, and after seeing what was in his hand, he wanted to return the gold to Lu Xiaofeng with some panic.

Lu Xiaofeng raised his hand to stop Hua Ping and said, "There is nothing special about this 100 taels of gold, but the cherry blossoms on it are exquisitely carved, and I have been born and died with it several times, it has some meaning after all."

Hua Manlou also smiled and said, "Just accept it, Brother Lu sincerely congratulates you."

Lu Xiaofeng: "I wish you and your wife will be united forever and stay together forever."

A blush crept up Huaping's cheeks, he carefully put away the gold ingot, and thanked Lu Xiaofeng.He was a little embarrassed and said: "I originally wanted to wait for the young master to get married first."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said to Hua Manlou: "Look, you have never been married, and it was Hua Ping who dragged it on until now."

Hua Ping blushed even more when he heard the words, Hua Ping has always been simple and honest, Lu Xiaofeng didn't tease him anymore, the three of them went to the yard, Hua Ping put the things back and went out.

Lu Xiaofeng was lying on the bed with his hands behind his head, not knowing what he was thinking, when Hua Manlou walked in with two jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine in one hand and two wine glasses in the other, he didn't even notice.

Hua Manlou: "What are you thinking?"

Lu Xiaofeng came back to his senses when he heard the words, got up from the bed, and said with a smile, "I was thinking, why didn't Huamanlou bring me this year's sweet-scented osmanthus wine?"

Huamanlou laughed and said, "This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn't drink it in Xiaolou before. Fortunately, I sent some back to my house."

The various flower brews made by Huamanlou are always sweet and delicious, and they can be drunk without side dishes. Lu Xiaofeng held a cup in front of his nose and sniffed it, his eyebrows almost went up to the sky.

Lu Xiaofeng: "No one can brew this flower brew better than you. I have been away for more than a year, and the wine bugs have almost eaten up my internal organs."

Hua ManLou said with a smile: "It turns out that every time Lu XiaoFeng runs to my small building, it's just to get some flowers and wine to drink."

Lu Xiaofeng: "Of course it's not just flower brewing. The bed in the small building is very comfortable, the food is exquisite, and the flowers are refreshing, everything hooks my soul."

Hua Manlou shook his head with a smile, and continued: "Lu Xiaofeng, I have always been very fortunate to have met you."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't expect Hua Manlou to say that suddenly, and was stunned for a moment.

Hua Manlou: "Although I have six elder brothers, before I lost my sight, they didn't get along with me much. Since I was four years old, I was the only child in the family. My father is not very close to me, he just supervises and encourages me. I can read and write, and I have always been with my mother. Later, I met you and Xi'er, and I am really happy."

Lu Xiaofeng lowered his head and did not speak, Hua Manlou continued: "Thinking about it, after so many years, we have spent more time together than my brothers and me. Father and brothers have been with me in every possible way. Being close and accommodating in everything, but because I am disabled, only you are different"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled lightly, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

Hua Manlou: "I know that you came home with me this time, but you just want to send me back to Huafu, so you can investigate the case alone. But this time the road ahead is dangerous, how can I rest assured that you can go alone? Don't forget, you once said that we are brothers, so we should never leave. The mountains were covered by snow and the fire was full, but you didn't abandon me. This time, how can I let you take the risk alone?"

Lu Xiaofeng stared at Hua ManLou in a daze, and after a while, smiled wryly, "I just said, sometimes I really wish you weren't so smart."

Hua Manlou: "So, since you didn't hide it from me, don't think about leaving me behind, we will live and die together!"

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't laugh anymore, looked at Hua Manlou in silence for a long time, sighed and said: "Okay"

Hua Manlou smiled, stretched out a palm, and said, "Say what you say!"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled when he saw Hua Manlou's outstretched hand, reached out to give Hua Manlou a high five, and then held each other tightly.

Lu Xiaofeng: "A four-horse is hard to catch!"

It was night, Lu Xiaofeng walked out of the room lightly, Hua Manlou drank wine, Hua Ping lit some tranquilizing incense, but he did not wake up at this time.

The light in Hua Ruling's study room was still on, Lu Xiaofeng slipped in, Hua Ruling was sitting on the teacher's chair behind the desk with his eyes closed, and Hua Tan was cutting candles beside him.

Seeing Lu Xiaofeng coming, Hua Tan smiled.

"Uncle Hua, Uncle Tan"

Hua Ruling opened his eyes, lightly raised his hand, and signaled Lu Xiaofeng to sit on the chair opposite the desk.

Huatan retreated gently, only Hua Ruling and Lu Xiaofeng were left in the study.

Lu Xiaofeng: "Uncle Hua knows I'm coming?"

Hua Ruling chuckled lightly: "Finally I watched you grow up, I can guess that."

Lu Xiaofeng also smiled, very relieved and gentle, the world is vast, and he is not really homeless.

Hua Ruling: "If you want to ask something about 20 years ago, just ask, I'm old, maybe there are some things that I should leave to you to do."

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes flickered, and he asked, "20 years ago, the Japanese invaded the East China Sea. Was it not just the Japanese who caused the disturbance?"

Hua Ruling sighed, looking at the lighted horn lamp, as if recalling.

Lu Xiaofeng continued: "On the night of Shangyuan more than 20 years ago, the person who came to Lu's mansion to set fire to kill people was clearly not a Fusang person, and now that I think about it, Uncle Jiang was originally the person my father left to protect Lu's mansion, but he was transferred away in a hurry. Otherwise, Hua Manlou and I would not have been the only ones who escaped that day in the Lu Mansion, and..."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Hua Ruling, and cautiously said: "My aunt died of illness a year later. Hua Manlou was young at the time, so I may not remember it clearly, but I know that my aunt has always been in good health, so how could she suddenly become seriously ill? Is it... Has something to do with that too?"

Hua Ruling stood up, sighed heavily, and gently pushed aside a screen. Behind the screen was a portrait of Mrs. Hua.

Hua Ruling's voice was old, and she couldn't hide her fatigue. She said slowly, "It's because I didn't handle it properly, which dragged down Qing Yu's life and hurt Lou'er's eyes. I'm even more sorry for Brother Changyun, I can't protect the Lu family. Back then, your mother brought your brothers and sisters here to avoid disaster. Jiang Yiye was transferred away. I was negligent. I failed to make up the Lu family's guards in time, which caused the catastrophe... ..."

Lu Xiaofeng: "Uncle, you..."

Lu Xiaofeng wanted to comfort Hua Ruling, but was stopped by Hua Ruling raising his hand.

Hua Ruling: "My nephew must have heard that 'a dike of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest'. The dam never breaks because of the fierce flood, and the dike breaks are all because of its own unstable foundation."

Lu Xiaofeng also walked to Hua Ruling's side, only to hear Hua Ruling continue: "Fusang is weak and cannot understand the language. If there were no people from the Central Plains as internal support, how could they go deep into my hinterland and make trouble? Everyone knows that the East China Sea was in turmoil more than 20 years ago. , but I don’t know that the inland far away from the sea is not very stable.”

Lu Xiaofeng never knew about these things, and now he is listening attentively.

Hua Ruling: "20 years ago, there were rumors in the rivers and lakes that there was an incense shop that offered incense to strangers, especially beautiful women, and people called it "beauty incense shop"

Lu Xiaofeng: "Beauty Fragrance?"

Hua Ruling: "The balm and gouache produced by the Beauty Fragrance Workshop is worth a thousand gold for just one penny. However, the trace of the Fragrance Workshop is mysterious and no one knows where it is. Only when the moon is full will someone in the workshop come out to sell it. At that time, my Hua family also had a few makeup shops, so I bought some anonymously and came back to have a look."

Lu Xiaofeng: "How?"

Hua Ruling: "The incense master in the workshop said that this is the method of Fusang. It uses the fragrance of the human body as a guide. The refined fragrance not only has a charming fragrance, but also has the effect of beautifying the face or refreshing the spirit. It is suitable for both men and women. Just Just like the people of Jin who love Wushisan, although it makes people look cheerful and radiant for a while, in the long run, they will definitely lose their souls, lose their blood, and look haggard."

Lu Xiaofeng: "The people who bought the incense didn't know about this?"

Hua Ruling smiled lightly, and said: "The King of Medicine once said that if you encounter the prescription of the five stones, you must burn it immediately, and don't keep it for a long time. However, the powder of the five stones is still passed down to the world."

Lu Xiaofeng pursed his lips and stopped talking.That's right, people in the world are lustful and lustful, begging for beauty and appearance, even disregarding their own lives, let alone the lives of others.

Hua Ruling: "After several investigations, we found that the Japanese leader Maeda Sakurazhiro and his deputy Nishiya Yuto are the behind-the-scenes bosses of this incense workshop. They are proficient in Chinese, and most of the people in the workshop are Han Chinese with extraordinary martial arts skills. The Hua family and the heroes of the martial arts circle fought several times, but they failed to destroy it."

Lu Xiaofeng was a little surprised, with the Hua family's snobbery and the help of other people in the martial arts, they couldn't deal with this beauty Xiangfang?

Hua Ruling: "Whether it is burning the Lu Mansion or poisoning Qingyu, they are all from the Xiangfang. Later, the Japanese invasion was pacified, Maeda Yingzhilang was beheaded by Prince Taiping himself, and Xuegu Youren drowned at sea. I thought that this matter was over, but I didn't expect that after 20 years, this beauty incense shop has come back again."

Both Hua Ruling and Lu Xiaofeng sat back on their chairs, Lu Xiaofeng frowned deeply, folded his hands on his chest and meditated.

After a while, Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Uncle, Liuying Feixue is the unique hidden weapon of Maeda Yingzhirou, is there any connection between this poison and the incense made in this incense shop?"

Hua Ruling stroked his beard and said, "It's not very clear, but it's not uncommon for Xiangfang to refine poison."

Lu Xiaofeng thought for a while, and asked again for no reason: "Uncle, you know, when fighting against the Japanese, did you know that a general surnamed Su died on the battlefield?"

Hua Ruling didn't know why Lu Xiaofeng asked this question, but she still thought about it and replied: "I don't know anything about the sea area, but I vaguely remember that the surname of your father's lieutenant general at that time was Su, but the surname was Su There are so many people here, I don’t know if it’s the one my nephew is looking for.”

It was already the third watch when Lu Xiaofeng came out of the study, the sky was pitch black, the stars and the moon were dark, but fortunately there were palace lanterns burning everywhere in Huafu, so it was not difficult to see the way.

In the room, Huamanlou was still sleeping deeply. At first he didn't know that the tranquilizing incense ordered tonight was brought back by Lu Xiaofeng from the palace. Didn't wake up at all.

Not surprisingly, if the fragrance never fades, Huamanlou will sleep soundly forever, and because of Lu Xiaofeng's promise, Huamanlou is not at all defensive.

Lu Xiaofeng gently stuffed Huamanlou's hand outside into the quilt, and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Everyone thinks that you are not angry, but I know that if I lie to you this time, you will definitely annoy me. If I still survive this time, I will go to the small building to pick out one for you." Years of water, I apologize to you"
