CHAPTER XX. The identity of Xiao Daogu.

Lu Xiaofeng was shocked by his own crankiness, and quickly stuffed a piece of sweet and soft glutinous rice root into his mouth, and blinked his eyes vigorously. Sure enough, when he took a closer look, the resemblance was gone.

Secretly laughing, he must be dazzled, Lu Xiaofeng continued to eat and drink.

Hua Manlou was blind, so he naturally couldn't see Lu Xiaofeng's strange face at that moment. And Jun Xuan acted seriously, she ate carefully, and didn't even glance at Lu Xiaofeng out of the corner of her eye. This little episode was skipped by the three of them.

Lu Xiaofeng and Jun Xuan are here to celebrate the birthday of the old man. Although the flower master is now sixty years old, it is not a whole life, but because the birthday banquet of the flower master was destroyed by the iron shoe thief last year, the seven sons of the flower family agreed to hold a birthday for their father this year, which can be regarded as a little compensation.

Since the Hua family has a big intention, it is natural to send invitations to each family early.

The invitation of the Hua family, Baiyun City naturally received it, although Ye Gucheng was still in retreat and did not come in person, but the housekeeper knew that his young lady would go to pay homage, so he quickly sent someone to send it to Heyi. There is still one day before Master Hua's birthday, Jun Xuan thought about it for a while and decided to visit Master Hua first.

Although Jun Xuan is dedicated to the sword, she has been taught by Ye Gucheng since she was a child, and she naturally acts in a way that everyone does, and her manners are not bad. She and Hua Manlou are considered friends, Master Hua is Hua Manlou's father, and the Hua family has been trading with Baiyun City all year round, so it is reasonable for Junxuan to just show up at his birthday banquet and leave.

Rest all night in the small building of Hua Manlou, early in the morning, Jun Xuan tidied up his clothes, and was going to visit Hua Manlou to talk about it in detail.

Hua Manlou knew that Jun Xuan was polite, but he didn't refute Jun Xuan's meaning, he smiled lightly and said to Jun Xuan: "Our Hua family has always looked forward to a daughter, Miss Jun went to visit her father, and her father must be happy." ”

His tone was unhurried, and he spoke very naturally, Jun Xuan couldn't help but smile, and said goodbye to Hua Manlou before boarding the carriage. She was accompanied by another carriage, the wheel of which was engraved with exquisite cloud patterns, and it contained the congratulatory rites prepared by Baiyun City.

Hua Manlou's words were unintentional, and Jun Xuan was also unintentional, but Lu Xiaofeng's face on the side became more and more strange. He opened his mouth, and finally after making sure that everyone in Baiyun City was gone, he said to Hua Manlou a little tentatively: "Your Hua family is looking forward to your daughter, but you haven't expected it to be like a little girl, right?" ”

Hearing this, Hua Manlou was slightly stunned. After a while, he pulled Lu Xiaofeng to the table in the small building and sat down, and slowly poured himself a cup of tea.

When he was with Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou always didn't talk much, but this time he was silent for a little longer.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't urge, he pulled the tea cup in his hand, there was no tea in it - he always drank when he was in Baihualou, so Huamanlou didn't deliberately pour tea for him.

After a long time, Hua Manlou sighed and stroked his forehead, and said softly to Lu Xiaofeng: "Lu Xiaofeng, you can also see that something is wrong with me, right?" ”

Lu Xiaofeng said "En" softly, and there was no longer the usual impropriety in his tone.

There were many scenes in his mind. For example, when Ye Gucheng mentioned Jun Xuan, he was uncontrollable gentleness. For example, Ximen Blowing Snow took an unusual look at Jun Xuan. For example...... Hua Manlou's various actions in front of Jun Xuan that did not match his gentlemanly style, Lu Xiaofeng could see that Hua Manlou wanted to get close to this little girl very much, intentionally or unintentionally, what he realized or didn't realize.

Lu Xiaofeng is a person who is used to looking at Fengyue, so even if these four people are not related to Fengyue at all, they are all unusually obscure in his eyes. Hua Manlou, Ximen Blowing Snow, Jun Xuan and even Ye Gucheng, the four of them are all his friends. Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to see his friend fall into such a messy relationship.

Hua Manlou felt Lu Xiaofeng's entanglement and worry, but it was not as complicated as he thought. He just reached out and gently brushed the tea leaves wafting on it with the tea lid, and then said with some uncertainty: "I have a feeling, that feeling is not real but it is very strong. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xiaofeng's face turned white, and he eagerly cut off Hua Manlou's words: "Do you like that little Dao Gu?" ”

Hua Manlou's hand serving tea paused, but instead smiled. He seemed to understand what his friend was thinking. Suddenly had the idea of prank, Hua Manlou said with a sigh: "Yes, I like her very much." ”

As soon as his words fell, the tea lid in Lu Xiaofeng's hand crossed the teacup, making a piercing sharp sound. He raised his hand and snatched the teapot in Hua Manlou's hand and poured himself a cup, drank it all like wine, and then opened his mouth to talk nonsense: "Her heart is full of swords, like the female version of Ximen Blowing Snow or Ye Gucheng, oh no, Jun Xuan is still young, and it is estimated that some people believe it when she says that she is like their daughter." Such a Xiaoice mountain, full of flowers for you ......"

Hua Manlou couldn't help the smile on the corner of his mouth, took a sip of tea lightly, and then said: "Since Miss Jun lived here yesterday, there have been no less than ten masters dormant around my small building, and they use two kinds of exercises, which are clearly two passers-by. Lu Xiaofeng, you said that Miss Jun is like the daughter of the Baiyun City Lord and the Ximen Zhuang Lord, I am afraid that this word will reach the ears of the two of them at sunset today. ”

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes became bigger and bigger, and he couldn't believe that a person with such a beautiful scenery as Hua Manlou would also cheat his friends. But he saw that Hua Manlou's inner strength changed, and the voice was pressed into a line into his ears.

"My liking for Miss Jun is not about men and women, but more like a ...... The natural closeness of the family. ”

Even though he knew that the person who was listening was sent by Baiyun City and Wanmei Villa to protect the little girl, Hua Manlou still avoided it. After all, this feeling is too ridiculous, if it is his delusion, it will inevitably cause trouble to Jun Xuan.

When Lu Xiaofeng heard this, he immediately looked at Hua Manlou in surprise. The words that came to his mouth almost burst out, but he swallowed them alive. With a hard breath, Lu Xiaofeng also transmitted the sound like a flower full of buildings.

"Your mother gave birth to a sister for you?"

Hua Manlou is the same age as Lu Xiaofeng, and now she is thirty out of twenty, but Jun Xuan is a little girl who has not yet reached her age. If Hua Manlou is telling the truth, then according to the age of the two people, it seems that there is only one possibility. But...... Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou have also known each other for a long time, haven't you heard that a little lady has been lost in his family?

What's more, with Lu Xiaofeng's understanding of the other six sons of the Hua family, as well as Master Hua and Mrs. Hua, if a little girl in his family is really lost, I am afraid that the entire Da'an will be turned over by them. Lu Xiaofeng didn't forget that the Hua family had already looked forward to her daughter to the point of madness, but his family raised the eldest grandson as a daughter until she was three years old.

Hua Manlou naturally didn't have a sister, he shook his head at Lu Xiaofeng, and pressed his eyebrows with some distress before saying, "It's because I don't have it, so I feel very strange." ”

Lu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded. He knew that Hua Manlou's instincts had always been accurate, but this time it was a little ridiculous.

There was no way, so he had to pat Hua Manlou's shoulder and said, "That little Dao aunt has already gone to visit your father, if there is really any blood relationship with you, your father will not recognize you." "What if it's an illegitimate daughter or something...... Mr. Hua probably won't disown it, but Mrs. Hua is ugly. It's just that he can't say this to Hua Manlou.

Lu Xiaofeng's words worked in the end, and the expression on Hua Manlou's face faded slightly. He nodded, slowly sipping down the tea in his hand. In the end, it seemed that he couldn't sit down in the small building anymore, Hua Manlou got up and said to Lu Xiaofeng: "Tomorrow is my father's birthday banquet, Brother Lu will go to the Hua family's old mansion with me to stay overnight." ”

Lu Xiaofeng knew that he wanted to find his father to confirm the matter, but he didn't stop him. Shrugged helplessly, Lu Xiaofeng followed Hua Manlou to the old mansion of the Hua family.

Hua Manlou was anxious here, but Jun Xuan's side was not easy.

In the west wing of the Hua family, she was surrounded by the ladies of the Hua family, and Mrs. Hua also held her hand with a smile and talked to her.

The seven sons of the Hua family, except for Hua Manlou, have all married wives, and the six young ladies of the Hua family have their own merits, including ladies in the boudoir and heroines in the rivers and lakes, some are bright and moving, and some are delicate and refined. Among such six ladies with different styles, Jun Xuan, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, was particularly conspicuous.

Jun Xuan is still quite calm now, even in the face of such a turbulent women's army, he did not show a trace of timidity. It's just that the blush on her little face, which has always had no expression, has already revealed her discomfort.

Although there are many maids and grandmothers in Baiyun City, because Ye Gucheng always holds her on his lap, being surrounded by a group of ladies like this, Jun Xuan has experienced it for the first time.

At the same time, a trace of doubt also appeared in her heart.

She is a female guest, and it is said that the ladies of the Hua family should come out to receive her. However, the old lady of the Hua family took the young ladies to "pour out of the nest", such a reception seems too warm, right?

Now Jun Xuan sat down obediently on the stool, and Mrs. Hua flipped through the scriptures on the table and looked at it carefully, while not forgetting to hold her hand tightly.

That scripture was copied by Jun Xuan on the way here, she came to celebrate her birthday, although Baiyun City will also prepare a congratulatory ceremony, but that is her senior brother's intention. She copied a scripture for Master Hua, although it couldn't be compared with the exquisite birthday gift in Baiyun City, but it was her heart.

"Miss Jun's words are so good, Shu Lang is frustrated, like flowing clouds, it is really unique." The young lady of the Hua family sitting on the side also looked at it with the old lady Hua, and when she saw Jun Xuan's words, she couldn't help but admire.

The eldest young lady was originally from a family and was particularly fond of calligraphy. She looked at Jun Xuan's words, and couldn't believe that this was written by a girl who was raised in the boudoir, and the chivalrous spirit and style implied in it were not even matched by the women of the rivers and lakes.

Jun Xuan was praised by the person she had just met, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she just pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly.

Old Madam Hua stretched out her hand to brush the small characters the size of a fly's head, her eyes slowly swept over Jun Xuan's low face, and she said softly as if she was afraid of scaring her: "Yes, it definitely looks like someone." ”

The nostalgia in the old woman's eyes was undisguised, and for a while, she didn't know whether she was talking words or people.
