"Mom, Dad, Mei Mei, when the guest arrives later, you all need to stay calm!" Bai Tang warned her family.
"Is the guest the emperor or something?" Bai Dad asked. Even if it were the emperor, they wouldn't have much reverence for a feudal lord, having grown up under the red flag.
"No, the guest is Lu Feng!" Bai Tang instructed a servant to fetch a clean set of dishes and took out a bottle of modern Moutai liquor from her backpack to place on the dining table.
"Lu Feng? It can't be that Lu Feng from Feng Wu Ji, right?" Bai Dad exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, it's that meddlesome Lu Feng with four eyebrows!"
"How is that possible? Isn't this the world of Dream of the Red Chamber? How did Lu Feng come here?"
Bai Tang then explained the system's rules to them.
"Doesn't that mean we're in great danger? Those people from the martial world can kill at any moment," Bai Ma said worriedly.
Bai Tang instructed a servant to prepare several more Field Frog Dishes and reassured Bai Ma, "Mom, there's no need to worry. I have a few talismans that can protect you from any attacks. Each of you can wear one." She distributed five jade talismans among her family. Then she took out a dozen paper talismans and handed them to Bai Ma to distribute to the servants.
"The protective effect of your five talismans is the best; once activated, they can withstand cannon attacks and their effects are permanent. They cost me five hundred thousand taels! Sigh, I finally earned some money and now it's all gone. These paper talismans are one-time use and not as effective as the jade ones. Please help me distribute them to the servants! We must protect our family!"
"Tang Tang, we still have several hundred taels left; you should take some for yourself!" Bai Ma thought her daughter was truly out of money and hurriedly said.
"No need! I can make back the money by selling a few items from other worlds. If you have money, spend it! Don't save it; your daughter is now a tycoon!"
"What tycoon? Don't think you're impressive just because you have a system. If that system were gone, let's see how you'd manage," Bai Dad said, dissatisfied with his daughter's pride.
"The guests are at the door; hurry up and invite them in!" Bai Dad said sternly, though his eyes sparkled with excitement. He wouldn't tell his wife and daughter that Lu Feng was his idol from his youth.
"I'll go get a pen and notebook!" Wu Xuemei jumped up and ran towards her room.
"Mei Mei, are you a fan of Lu Feng?" Bai Tang asked with a smile.
"No, I'm a fan of Hua Manlou. But since Lu Feng came to our house, I naturally need him to leave a signature. I'll hang his signature in the shop to create a celebrity effect and attract more customers!" Wu Xuemei said happily.
"Then you should prepare a brush and rice paper; Lu Feng definitely won't be used to a ballpoint pen!" Bai Tang shouted at Wu Xuemei's back.
Ai Wanxi Baozi leaned close to Xing Xiaokang's ear and asked, "Kang Ge, who is Lu Feng? Do you know him?"
Xing Xiaokang pretended to be mature as he pinched his round chin: "I don't know! I think he might be an acquaintance of my grandparents and mom!"
Bai Tang chuckled at the children's innocent words and stood up: "I'll go welcome the guests!"
Lu Feng was both hungry and thirsty. He had been competing in lightness skills with the Monkey Spirit, but halfway through, the Monkey Spirit remembered he had other matters to attend to and left him stranded in a place that was neither close to home nor any shop. He wandered around for an entire night and half a day before finally seeing signs of people. He thought about going to the wealthiest-looking household for something to eat, but he found that this manor was protected by a formation, making it impossible for him to approach from the side. He wanted to return and knock on the front door boldly, but he found it difficult to break free from the formation, which frustrated him greatly! Lu Feng grabbed his hair and cursed the Monkey Spirit again in his heart.
At that moment, Lu Feng suddenly felt the formation disappear, and the manor's main gate opened, revealing a beautiful girl. This girl wasn't as stunning as Xue Bing, nor as charming as Ouyang Qing, and she didn't possess the beauty of his other red-friend confidantes; her appearance was merely delicate. However, her demeanor was elegant and ethereal. Dressed in plain blue attire without any gaudy patterns for embellishment, she exuded a quiet grace that surpassed countless vibrant colors.
"Welcome, please come in!"
Lu Feng had a good impression of the girl: "Sister, you are too kind. I am Lu Feng. I lost my way due to a bet with a friend and am now hungry and tired. May I rest here for a while and have something to eat?"
Bai Tang smiled: "Just in time; we have freshly prepared food at home. If you don't mind, please come in!"
"I don't mind! I don't mind!" Lu Feng immediately followed Bai Tang into the manor.
The garden was filled with many flowers that Bai Tang had transplanted from modern times: carnations, tulips, Mediterranean bluebells, irises, sunflowers... Each one was quite ordinary, but Lu Feng had never seen them before.
"Bai Gu Niang, what are these flowers?"
"These flowers all come from overseas. This one is a Carnation," Bai Tang introduced the flowers in the garden to Lu Feng. "Carnations are also known as Dianthus, Lion's Head Pink, and Musk Pink. They bloom in July. Carnations prefer plenty of sunlight, enjoy cool temperatures, are not tolerant of heat, but can withstand a certain degree of low temperatures. They are flowers given to Mother. They also have benefits such as beautifying the skin, calming the mind and quenching thirst, clearing the heart and improving vision, reducing inflammation and irritation, promoting saliva production and soothing the throat, and aiding digestion."
"This flower is called Violet, and its language of flowers represents eternal beauty and love."
"Language of flowers?" Lu Feng was curious about this term he had never heard before.
"It refers to the language represented by flowers. People use flowers to express emotions and wishes."
"Interesting!" Lu Feng asked with great interest, "Does each flower have its own language of flowers?"
"Of course."
"What is the language of flowers for the Lotus?"
"Purity and steadfastness."
"And what about the Peony?"
"Completeness, deep affection, and elegance."
"What about the Orchid?"
"Beauty, nobility, and virtue."
"……"
"What is the meaning of this blue flower?"
"This is the Forget-Me-Not. Just like its name, its meaning is eternal love, deep affection, an unchanging heart, and everlasting memories!"
"And this one?"
"This is the Paradise Bird. 'Tang' is what people overseas call 'Ting,' which is a place where immortals reside. The Paradise Bird is a type of bird from overseas, also known as the Paradise Bird. Its feathers are very beautiful, and people believe it comes from 'Tang,' hence the name. The meaning of the Paradise Bird is to dress up for love."
Lu Feng was surprised to learn that there was so much knowledge about flowers and said to Bai Tang, "I have a friend who also loves flowers. If he knew these meanings, he would definitely be very happy."
He then awkwardly asked, "Bai Gu Niang, could you write down the meanings of these flowers for me to take to my friend?"
"Of course," Bai Tang smiled. "Your friend must be the Seventh Young Master of Jiangnan Huajia, Hua Man Lou, right? I heard he is someone who loves life and flowers. When you leave, I will prepare a portion of seeds from these flowers for you, along with handwritten notes. Please help me deliver them to Playboy!"
"That's great!" Lu Feng said excitedly. "Hua Man Lou will definitely love this gift from you!"
Bai Tang smiled and said, "I really hope to meet Flower Seven Young Master. My sister has always liked him!"
"Like?" Lu Feng blinked and revealed a knowing smile.
Bai Tang quickly clarified, "Don't misunderstand! My sister already has a son; her admiration for Playboy is merely appreciation."
Lu Feng straightened his expression. Although he was a playboy, he respected the reputation of good women. He only pursued female heroes from the martial world and women from brothels; he would never bother ordinary good women.
The two walked through the Main Gate of the main house, and Lu Feng saw a sofa placed in the center of the room.
"I didn't expect that even such a remote area would have sofas for sale!"
Bai Tang was surprised: “Lu the Hero knows about sofas?”
“Not only do I know, but I also know the person who invented the sofa.”
Bai Tang was intrigued and casually asked, “Could it be Boss Zhu?”
“It’s not the boss!” Lu Feng replied, “It’s Ye Xiuzhu, the heroine of the Emei Sect. Although Ye Xiuzhu’s martial arts are not as good as those of the other three elites, she is very skilled in business. According to Dugu Zhangmen and other elders of the Emei Sect, Ye Xiuzhu has already been designated as the next leader of the Emei Sect!”
Bai Tang was certain that Ye Xiuzhu was a time traveler; the original Ye Xiuzhu would not fall in love with Huo Qing. It was also uncertain what methods Huo Xiu would use against Dugu Yihe!
A servant entered the room carrying a prepared Field Frog Dish, and Lu Feng sniffed the air, immediately drawn in by the delicious aroma.
“It smells so good!”
Bai Tang led Lu Feng to the dining room: “Lu the Hero, come quickly and try our house specialty!”
When the people in the dining room saw Lu Feng enter, everyone except for Karen Adrian and two others stood up. Bai Tang introduced everyone to Lu Feng, who noticed that the three adults looked at him with strange expressions—curious yet filled with an unexplainable meaning. However, he could tell that the Bai Family had no ill intentions toward him.
“This person is called Karen Adrian, and he is from the Western Regions,” Bai Tang introduced Karen Adrian.
Karen Adrian didn’t even spare a glance at Lu Feng.
“Don’t take it personally; that’s just his nature. He doesn’t like talking to strangers and won’t say a word.”
How could Lu Feng take it personally? His attention was completely captivated by the delicious food on the table. After being invited by Bai Tang, he immediately picked up his chopsticks and began to eat rapidly.
“It’s delicious! It rivals the vegetarian feast made by Bitter Melon Master. The meat is tender and flavorful; it’s so good! What kind of meat is this?”
“Rice Frog!”
“What?” Lu Feng asked, confused.
“It’s Tin Frog!”
“Pfft—” Lu Feng spat out the meat from his mouth.
Bai Tang waved his sleeve, brushing aside the bits that Lu Feng had spat out, ensuring that the remnants didn’t contaminate the dishes on the table.
“Can you eat Tin Frog?”
“Aren’t you eating it right now?” Bai Tang retorted, “Is it good?”
Lu Feng looked at the spread of dishes and honestly replied, “It’s delicious!”
