Southern Qi Fenghua Record

Luoyuefang is located at the intersection of East Street and West Street. The whole building is three stories high, with red walls and blue tiles, carved beams and painted buildings. With its unique geographical advantages and world-class dishes, it has become a gathering place for dignitaries and dignitaries. The dignitaries of the capital all take pride in coming here to have a banquet.

Xia Houshu was dressed in a well-tailored dark red men's suit embroidered with wishful cloud patterns, waving a folding fan and swaggering into the gate of Luoyuefang, graceful and dignified.

The shop waiter had just finished greeting a table of guests, when she saw Xia Houshu coming in, she immediately greeted her with a smile on her face, and asked enthusiastically whether she was looking for someone or arranging the seats alone.

Xia Houshu didn't look sideways, and avoided the oncoming waiter, and stopped in the courtyard.Then she glanced around briefly, and there were more than a dozen ebony square tables neatly arranged on the first floor, the dishes were overflowing, the diners were drinking and drinking, and there were many people, but there was no one in sight of Xia Houyi.

Xia Houshu carefully recalled what Yunxi had said to her, and became more and more sure that his emerald jade hairpin would not be given away in vain.Moreover, based on the friendship between Yunxi and Xieying, and their common obsession with Xia Houyi, in the face of Xia Houyi's possible emotional changes, Xieying, who is full of thoughts, will not deliberately lie to Yunxi and ask her to give up. Bring your own fake news.

Since it's not on the first floor, it must be on another floor.But the second and third floors of Luoyuefang are all private rooms, and most of the guests who choose private rooms pay attention to privacy, and they will definitely close the doors after entering, so she won't push the doors one by one to confirm.

At this time, the shop waiter finally followed up, and asked again with a smile: "Guest officer, are you looking for someone, or is the little one arranging a table for you alone?"

In the past, Xia Houshu often came here with Xia Houyi for banquets, and he knew the scale of Luoyuefang well. He also knew that Xia Houyi had a separate account book here. At the end of the month, Luoyuefang will go to Yueguo's mansion to find the steward to settle the bill again.If Luoyuefang develops any new dishes, it will send a post to the house as soon as possible to invite them.

She looked up at the stairs on the second floor, and asked, "Is the Second Young Master of the Duke of Yue's Mansion in the building today?"

The shop waiter thought about it carefully, and replied: "Young Master Xiahou did come here today, but he left after having a cup of tea. Do you want to stay for dinner, young master?"

"No need." Xia Houshu waved his hands and said lightly.She thought in her heart that since Xia Houyi came to Luoyuefang, he only drank tea and didn't eat, which was very inconsistent with his usual style.Then she glanced around and asked again: "Master Xiahou came here today alone, or did he invite someone else?"

Seeing that Xia Houshu was lukewarm, and didn't intend to eat, the waiter in the shop kept asking about the second son of the Duke of Yue's mansion, so he couldn't help but muttered in his heart, his attitude gradually became less enthusiastic, and he just said: "Mr. Noble, the young one is just a clerk, how can a busy man pay attention to his actions all the time? If the young master wants to eat, the young one will arrange for you. If you just want to ask about other things, the young one still has guests to entertain , it is inconvenient to accompany you."

Xia Houshu heard the implication of the waiter's words, took out a penny from his sleeve and handed it to him, saying, "Go, arrange for me a private room with the best view on the third floor, and serve a pot of Biluochun."

"Okay!" The shop clerk took the money, immediately put on a smiling face, half-bent and stretched out his hand to point to the direction of the stairs, "Young master, please follow me."

The waiter lived up to Xia Houshu's expectations, and indeed arranged the private room with the best view on the third floor. After serving tea, he closed the door and exited thoughtfully.

Xia Houshu walked to the window, gently opened the window, and had a panoramic view of half of the imperial city.Row upon row of mansions, pavilions, and bustling markets, cars like flowing water and horses like dragons, it is a scene of prosperity.

Xia Houshu couldn't help but recall that Yunxi had mentioned that Xia Houyi specially changed into a white dress embroidered with brocade and vines before going out, so he leaned on the railing and let his eyes search carefully along every street, and soon locked on the target.

Xia Houyi's white clothes are particularly conspicuous in the bustling crowd, just like the celebrities in the capital praised him - Mr. Jinxiu.

Xia Houshu didn't fully agree with those compliments on Xia Houyi. Except for being handsome and not feminine, none of them had anything to do with "Splendid". We have been together under the roof for many years, the reason is too familiar.

The strange thing is that the person walking with Xia Houyi is not some extraordinary woman, but a man of his age.

Disappointed, Xia Houshu frowned and let out a "tsk".But after thinking about it, the person who can make Xia Houyi dress up carefully to come out to meet, even if it is a man, is it not a casual acquaintance?

So she opened her eyes wide and continued to look in the direction of Xia Houyi.He saw that the man was tall and strong, and he was wearing a blue brocade robe inlaid with gold thread, which set off his spirit and full of nobility.The two of them, one white and one blue, stand together in a romantic and suave manner. The jade tree is facing the wind, and there is such a beauty of the two, which attracts the elderly to look back frequently, the young to cover their faces and smile cleverly, and the young to stop and watch.

Xia Houshu hangs out with Xia Houyi on weekdays, and is almost familiar with Xia Houyi's social life, ranging from a nobleman to a villager, but she has never seen this person before.But as far as his attire is concerned, he must also be a son of a famous family.

There was nothing wrong with the two sons of aristocratic families traveling together, but looking at the direction they were going, Xia Houshu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

"The family is unlucky! The family is unlucky!"

Xia Houshu looked at a pair of figures in the distance, gritted his teeth, beat his chest and stamped his feet.

That is Shuyu Pavilion, the biggest place for fireworks in the capital!

The pure and flawless image of Xia Houyi in her heart like a mirror in the past was instantly shattered into pieces.

Like the rumors outside, Xia Houyi made countless friends and lived a lazy life, but on weekdays, he only rode horses and archery with them, drank wine and wrote poems, or fought cocks, walked dogs, and raised birds for fun.Moreover, apart from being kind to the sisters in his family, he is almost not close to women, so that he is almost weak and even has no appointment with his relatives, and there is no concubine in his family.At best, the outside world said that he was an ignorant dude.

Xia Houshu used to think that Xia Houyi was a clean man, but he didn't expect him to have this habit.Looking at their calm demeanor and how they are familiar with the road, it is not once or twice.

And she never found out.

There are tens of thousands of women in the world, and Xia Houyi has long since reached the age when he should marry a wife, so he can't always hang out in such a place.No matter how you say it, the Duke of Yue's mansion is the family of the generals of Zanying for generations, and the family education is strict.Although Xia Houyi's style of life in the past is very different from that of the general's children, he is called a true temperament after all, and has won the nickname of "Splendid Young Master", but if he becomes tainted with female sex, his reputation may not be guaranteed. It can also be difficult when negotiating relatives.

Thinking of this, Xia Houshu angrily threw the teacup on the small table, grabbed the fan, got up and walked out.

Xia Houshu was furious, and when he opened the door, he was a bit strong. The door leaf was thrown out and hit the door frame, making a "bang", which disturbed the passing guests.

The two men stopped at the same time and looked at Xia Houshu in surprise.

The six eyes met, Xia Houshu immediately realized that he was too reckless, and quickly nodded to express his apology.

The two men didn't say much, they turned their heads and walked straight to the end of the floor with no expression on their faces.

Although he glanced at it inadvertently, Xia Houshu inexplicably felt that the figures and demeanor of these two people looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.

As for where it was, she couldn't remember for a moment.

Xia Houshu was thinking about something, and walked slowly.When she reached the stairs, there happened to be three or four diners rushing up from downstairs, and one of them accidentally bumped into her.

Xia Houshu almost subconsciously protected his injured arm.Just because of this action, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help thinking of the two men who were hunted down in the back mountain of Huguo Temple a month ago, with exactly the same suffocatingly cold faces of ice cubes!

The relationship between people is so delicate. Some people are strangers even if they have met many times, while some people are impressive just by meeting them once.

Just like these two people.

Those doubts about their identities suddenly resurfaced.

With strong curiosity, Xia Houshu turned back again.

The two men had already entered the most secret private room at the end of the corridor, and the diner who bumped into her just now also apologized and stepped into the second private room on the left.

There are eight private rooms on the third floor. From the stairs, there are three on the left and one on the left, and one on the front and back.What Xia Houshu wanted just now was the second room on the right, and the two men, one purple and one black, walked past the door of the private room that she had reserved, and then walked forward for a certain distance, so they should have gone to the private room at the end of the corridor. .

Xia Houshu saw that there was no one else in the corridor, so he walked lightly to the last room, stuck outside the door and listened for a while, but there was no sound at all inside, and he didn't see the waiter bringing drinks and dishes.

Luoyuefang's delicious food is well-known, and many people come here for the name, so the business is booming.If you come in time for a meal, you may not even be able to reserve a seat.But there is still more than an hour before lunch time, so there are not many people.In addition, private rooms require extra money, and ordinary diners generally do not come up.

But no matter how Xia Houshu looked at it, he also felt that those two men with tall stature and alienated temperament were not people with appetite.They came here either to talk about things in the name of eating and drinking, or like her, they wanted to take advantage of this excellent location to see the scenery of the capital, or to find people.

Since the door of the private room is closed, it proves that there are indeed guests inside.

Xia Houshu was thinking secretly, and leaned against the door to continue listening for a while, but there was still no sound from inside.

It's sunny, two big men come here, are they really sitting and drinking tea relatively silently?Or maybe she was wrong, they are not in this room?

Xia Houshu looked sideways at the corridor carefully, carefully calculated the length of the footsteps and the closing sound of the door just heard, and determined that the two people had entered the last room.But as for why there was no sound at all in the room... In a trance, she remembered the words and deeds of the two men on the mountain behind the Huguo Temple that day.She was still thinking about what kind of relationship could make a rebellious person like a cold-faced god so respectful to a man who has no power to restrain him, but now that she thinks about it, these two people may really have broken sleeves.

This can also explain why when she joked with the man in purple that day and asked him to repay her life-saving grace with a promise of body, the man in purple had an ambiguous expression on his face, and was immediately interrupted by the man in green.

It turned out to be jealous!

Xia Houshu doesn't discriminate against this kind of special emotion that cannot be understood by the world, but he just feels a little surprised.She has seen the love between a man and a woman, or like her father and mother, harp and zither, respecting each other like guests; or like third uncle Xia Houze and Mrs. Guo, separated by yin and yang, with endless nostalgia; or like Sun Jiarou and Yu Xiuyuan, with many obstacles, Each side of the world.In short, it is full of affection and love.

But the love between two men... is roughly the same as that between a man and a woman, right?

Just as Xia Houshu was wandering in all directions, the door of the private room suddenly opened, a pair of thick and powerful hands covered her mouth, dragged her in, and then quickly closed the door.

Xia Houshu's face turned pale with shock, only four words remained in his mind: kill to kill!
