Late autumn is the off-season for tourism, there are not many tourists who come to the Humble Administrator's Garden, and there is a light rain in the early morning, so there are only sparse guides walking through the huge garden with individual visitors.

Humble Administrator's Garden, Lanxue Hall, lacquer carving in the south, green bamboo in the north. A young man dressed in a navy blue khaki tunic stood in the hall, staring at the elegant words "Lanxuetang" on the plaque, and was silent for a long time. After a long time, he said slowly: "Between the independent world, the breeze is sprinkled with blue snow." One sentence breaks the origin of the word "Lanxue" in "Lanxuetang".

It's just that at the end, when the young man looked at the lacquer carving of the whole garden, he couldn't help but shake his head, and only commented in four words: "Painting snakes adds to the feet." ”

Standing behind him is a woman holding a delicate flower umbrella with Jiangnan characteristics, captivating the country and the city, peerless appearance, fortunately, there are quite few tourists in the park today, otherwise I don't know how many people will linger. The women of the Cai family, no matter where they go, are like a brilliant diamond, piercing the eyes of others and unable to open them, because her surname is Cai. At this time, the woman of the Cai family, who was holding an oilcloth flower umbrella in Jiangnan's private workshop, ignored the Jiangnan Xiujing around her, and just looked at the man in an untimely tunic in front of her very seriously.

Walking all the way, Li Yundao almost explained all the way to her, from the history of Wu to the humanities and customs to the places of interest, systematically and logically introduced Cai Taoyao to the one around him, and when he walked all the way from Pingjiang Road, Li Yundao even told her a little-known secret history of the Wu Palace. After entering the Humble Administrator's Garden, this man, who had just climbed down from Kunlun Mountain for only two months, actually introduced her to the various characteristics of this ancient Jiangnan garden.

Finally, when Li Yundao was about to tell Cai Taoyao the reason why Taibai made poems, the woman of the Cai family, who was standing in Lanxue Hall and holding a flower cloth umbrella, finally couldn't help but speak: "I ask you a question." ”

Li Yundao turned his head in a daze and nodded slightly, obviously not knowing why the woman behind him would suddenly interrupt his train of thought.

"Didn't you grow up in Kunlun Mountain?" The woman of the Cai family looked at this man who was not handsome but was also pleasing to the eye.

"That's nature. Li Yundao replied with pride and pride, as if the Kunlun Mountain, which had only a ruined village and a lama temple, was a sacred pilgrimage like Shangri-La.

"But why do I think you know everything about Jiangnan?" Cai Taoyao was curious.

Li Yundao's face, which had been smiling, smiled even more because of these words, like a white chrysanthemum in late autumn, and he was silent for a moment before resuming his smile and said: "If I lock you in a cage and only give you a bunch of books every day, you will become like me in the end." ”

Cai Tao was stunned, and was stunned for a while before continuing: "So you've read a lot of books?"

Li Yundao smiled and nodded, although he was forced by the old lama to read those miscellaneous books, but after so many years, he actually had an unparalleled affection for books, and when he heard the book in Cai Taoyao's mouth, it was like mentioning a small person who played from childhood to adulthood.

"How many?" the Cai family woman's curiosity seemed to be heavy.

Li Yundao turned his head, looked at the mottled marks left by the years on the wall, and slowly replied after a long time: "It should be quite a lot." ”

"How many are there, there are so many?" The woman of the Cai family made an analogy with her head position, indicating whether she was reading the book and other heights.

Li Yundao shook his head.

Only then did the woman of the Cai family slowly breathe a sigh of relief: "It seems that you haven't been perverted to that hopeless Cheng dù." ”

Li Yundao, who turned his gaze to the light rain outside the hall, shook his head: "According to what you said, I may really be terminally ill." ”

The woman of the Cai family was stunned again.

"Have you seen my family's bow horn?" Li Yundao suddenly asked an irrelevant sentence.

"That stupid big man?" The woman of the Cai family suddenly saw in her mind that the man who was more than two meters tall and shirtless in the late autumn season, with strong muscles and an incomparable bow. "He's sturdy. ”

Li Yundao nodded, but he dropped a word, and turned around and walked out of Lan Xue Hall.

"From the age of three to leaving Kunlun Mountain, I have read more than a dozen books as high as the bow angle, but the master said that the skill seems to be not enough, because the reading notes I took do not seem to be as high as the bow angle. ”

The woman of the Cai family, who was studying for a master's degree and a doctorate at Peking University, was stunned on the spot, smiled in a blink of an eye, and started to keep up with the figure in a Mao suit in front of her: "Wait for me, hold an umbrella for you, it's raining quite hard outside." ”

If there were people who were familiar with the women of the Cai family nearby at this time, they would definitely be thundered on the spot by this scene. At least a man in the army at Peking University was waiting for this extremely proud woman to nod, but it was such a woman who had rejected countless outstanding Peking University students and future backbones of the army, but at this moment, she was willing to help the man next to her like a little woman to hold the Jiangnan flower cloth umbrella that was not too big.

After walking out of Lanxue Hall, the two people who walked in the drizzle were invariably immersed in the beautiful garden scenery of the south of the Yangtze River in the rain, pavilions and pavilions, full of green shade, the small pond of curved water with rockeries and strange stones, one after another fresh and natural scenery of the south of the Yangtze River came into view.

Along the way, there were a lot of scenic spots, many places have text explanations, Li Yundao just put the finishing touch on a few words, although it was only a few words, but it made Cai Taoyao have endless aftertaste, at this time, this big Diao Min who climbed down from Kunlun Mountain finally slowly showed his other side in front of the Cai family woman.

Walking to the depths of the garden, there is a small pavilion for visitors to inhabit by the side of the small pond rockery, but at this time there is only an old man in a white exercise uniform in the small pavilion, who is slowly playing Tai Chi.

Li Yundao looked at the old man's Taiji from a distance, squinted his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked an arc. The old man's Tai Chi reminded him of the fact that there is a strong figure on Kunlun Mountain every morning repeating such a set of similar movements on the top of the mountain, but it seems that the Tai Chi played by the stupid big man who is more than two meters tall is much more complicated than the old man's set.

"Overcoming the strong with the soft and the strong with the weak, is it Tai Chi?" Cai Taoyao looked at the old man in the pavilion, as if she didn't know much about traditional martial arts.

Li Yundao nodded and said: "It's the simplified Chen's Taiji, it's okay to be healthy, but if you face the enemy on the spot, it's more than one grade weaker than the real Chen's Taiji." ”

Cai Taoyao smiled and said, "I almost forgot, this is the specialty of your two brothers." ”

Li Yundao shook his head and said, "The bow angle is too masculine, so the master let him practice Tai Chi, which can somewhat dissolve some of his masculinity." The master just let him practice Wing Chun, and used another set of dragon boxing to neutralize his feminine qi, but the effect of that set of dragon boxing is not as good as that of Tai Chi, so Hui You is getting more and more handsome, and now he is about to become a girl. ”

Cai Taoyao was amused by Li Yundao's words, and after calming down, she continued to ask: "What about you, why didn't your master teach you the martial arts of self-defense?"

The smile on Li Yundao's face suddenly became even worse: "Maybe he thinks I don't have that qualification." ”

Yes, a child who has been soaked in a medicine barrel from birth to the age of eight is not qualified to practice any martial arts?

Although Li Yundao had a smile on his face all the time, even full of smiles, the women of the Cai family beside him read a sadness from the depths of the soul from those seemingly plain eyes.

Just as the woman of the Cai family was about to say something, the old man in the pavilion suddenly shouted from afar: "Young, why don't you come in, it's raining, come in and talk to your godfather for a while." ”

The ancient city of Gusu is bustling and prosperous, and the Humble Administrator's Garden is quiet. The small pavilion pond water breeze flower umbrella, a beautiful Jiangnan painting scroll slowly unfolded in this ancient city garden, but under the pink flower umbrella of the valuable Jiangnan private square stood a young man who was very incompatible with this picture, khaki tunic and navy blue, adding a cold tone to the already cold Jiangnan garden.

The smile is always the cynical smile, and the black eyes reveal a touch of arrogance, but it does not affect the affinity of the young man at all. As Cai Taoyao's flower umbrella walked into the small pavilion, Li Yundao found that there was a cave in the small pavilion, and it was too far away just now, but he didn't find that there was a stone table and stone bench in such a chic Jiangnan pavilion, and a full set of tea sets were available on the stone table, and under the tea set was a delicate chessboard carved up.

"Godgrandpa!" After walking into the small pavilion, the woman of the Cai family took the flower umbrella and walked up to pull the arm of the old man in white, and there was a faint taste of a little girl in her words, "Don't be angry, didn't you come to see you?"

"Hahaha, people say that women don't stay, but I don't think it's right at all. Tell me, how many years have you come to Suzhou to see your godfather? It's not easy to come here, and you can't see anyone all day long. The old man had a kind face and a smile on his face.

"Godgrandpa! I will definitely come to Suzhou to visit you more often in the future, so don't worry about me as a little person." Cai Taoyao has a peerless face, and the appearance of this little woman at this moment really has a unique charm.

The old man in white smiled slightly when he heard this: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink, but I am afraid that the main purpose of my family coming to Suzhou in the future is not to see me, a bad old man!"

Cai Taoyao's face was suddenly full of clouds, and she glanced at Li Yundao behind her with a little shame, but found that the big Diao Min actually didn't pay any attention to the meaning of the grandfather and grandson, and just walked to the stone bench by himself, and studied the set of cherished tea sets on the table very carefully, engrossed.

The woman of the Cai family was not angry, but looked at the old man in white beside her with an inquiring gaze, and the old man did not answer immediately, but slowly walked to Li Yundao's side: "An old friend in the south sent it, and every family in Fujian wants to drink tea, and it is estimated that this set of tea sets is not worth a few dollars." ”

Li Yundao didn't speak, just lightly picked up one of the purple sand cups, looked up and down, left and right for a while, and then said slowly: "Although it is not an antique-level thing, but at least it is from the hands of a first-class master, this first-class clay material alone is very rare, and with just the right firing temperature, it is not something that ordinary professionals can take." I don't know the specific price, but one thing I can be sure of is that if you put it in the soaked tea juice for a hundred years, if it is still a full set, it should be worth a lot of money. ”

Just a few faint words, but the old man in white even had a bright light in his eyes, and asked: "How can you see it?"

Li Yundao put down the purple sand cup in his hand, picked up the purple sand pot that had been brewed tea on the side, held it in the palm of his hand and weighed it, and then picked up the pot ear, the very light phoenix nodded three times, moving in one go, without losing masculinity in the roundness, a crimson arc crossed the air and fell into the purple sand cup just now. Then I heard the young man smile indifferently: "Zisha tasting, nothing more than the four words of shape and spirit, just looking at this shape and the force of falling into the water, people who know a little bit will know that this is by no means an ordinary product." ”

The old man nodded and said with a smile: "Young man, it seems that you really have some research on this purple sand, come to my house another day to take a look, there are still a lot of things like purple sand and blue and white, come and take a look when you have time!"

Li Yundao grinned and nodded very happily: "It's just that I only flipped through those two volumes a little when I was a child, and I remember seven or eight out of ten, and it is estimated that I will be embarrassed by then." ”

The old man was suddenly stunned by this sentence on the spot, although he is not a professional ceramic player, there are many people who play this thing in China, but there are only a few who really play well, even if they stand in front of the old man, they have to be polite, how many people are in this circle? He naturally knew the value, but the young man in front of him, who looked like he was in his early twenties, actually said that he had read these two books when he was a child, which were the works of Qing Dynasty historians, and the old man couldn't help but wonder if the young man in front of him was just talking about himself.

Seeing the confusion in the old man's eyes, Li Yundao didn't explain much, but was attracted by the crimson tea in the cup: "The best big red robe?" After speaking, Li Yundao's eyes were a little different when he looked at the old man again, but how could he, the big man who had just climbed out of the mountain, guess the identity of the crane-haired boy in front of him.

The old man in white smiled and nodded: "These two taels of tea were given by the old guy who fought with me all his life when I went to Beijing last time, and it can be regarded as a little respect for me, a former opponent. ”

"Half of the country?" Cai Taoyao obviously didn't understand the meaning of the old man's words, and was very confused.

The old man didn't answer immediately, just looked at Li Yun and said, "Little guy, seeing that your skills are not shallow, you can answer this question for me." ”

Li Yundao didn't fake it, just smiled and explained: "The process of making this big red robe is quite complicated. Since the tea tree grows on the cliff faces. Caretakers are responsible for guarding, sacrificing, and picking tea, but when picking tea, the government, the tea research institute and other responsible parties must be present. When mining, the armed police guarded the canyon and placed ladders. Under the escort and supervision of the armed police, the guardian climbed the ladder to pick tea. After picking tea, it was handed over to the armed police, and the ladder was taken away empty-handed, and the ladder was immediately taken away by the armed police. Then, under the supervision of several parties, they had to roast tea in the tea factory to make tea, and after the tea was inspected and subcontracted, they were accompanied by the armed police to board a special plane and send it to Beijing. ”

The woman of the Cai family and the old man in white nodded at the same time, obviously quite satisfied with Li Yundao's appearance.

"Come, Da Diaomin, let me introduce you, this is my godfather, and everyone here in Suzhou respectfully calls him 'Qin Ye'. Before Cai Taoyao could introduce Li Yundao to the white-clothed old man Qin Ye, she heard the consistent words of this great man: "I am Li Yundao." ”

There is no hypocrisy, no mental burden. No one here blames Li Yundao for his abruptness and faux pas, the women of the Cai family are people who do not abide by the rules, and the old man of the Qin family, who has been fighting in the capital all his life, has naturally cultivated to Cheng Dù, who is inclusive of all rivers.

"Li Yundao, well, good name, good name! Eternal floating clouds, the final avenue, rare, rare. The old man surnamed Qin didn't know what he thought of from this name, and looked up at the sky for a long time before he sighed, "Is this a reminder from God?"

After finishing the words, it coincided with the clouds opening and the rain dissipating, and a faint touch of sunshine sprinkled on the chic pavilion in the south of the Yangtze River, sweeping away the haze in everyone's hearts.

The Qin family is a lonely crane, and the Fu Gu Su.

Li Jiayun said, a newborn calf.

Who knows what kind of sparks this old and young can collide in the wonderful land of Gusu!

It is rare to encounter the rainy weather in this season, and the city of Suzhou after the rain has an indescribable fresh taste, especially in the green garden, this fresh nature has a little more years of precipitation.

Li Yundao and the old man of the Qin family had a very happy conversation, and after drinking a few cups of the best red robe with the old man, he inadvertently chatted about the chessboard on the table.

There is no doubt about the ending. Li Yundao lost convincingly, at the beginning of the chess game, the drum was equal, and the chess was halfway through, and the old man Qin began to slowly show his advantage after working hard in Beijing for half a lifetime, Li Yundao was careful and careful, but he still didn't pay attention to step into the trap laid by the old man from the beginning, and the natural chess strength in the second half of the game appeared, Li Yundao was defeated like a mountain, but he never admitted defeat and persisted until the last moment.

After the chess was finished, the old man Qin smiled and shouted "good" three times, and said "The young man is good", Li Yundao was inexplicable when he heard it, Cai Taoyao was afraid that the old man would come up with chess, so he pulled Li Yundao and didn't let go, and before the old man could speak, he pulled Li Yundao away, so angry that the old man Qin shouted "The female lady is not staying".

On the way to the Lion Forest, Li Yundao couldn't help but ask Cai Taoyao, who was taking pictures seriously with a single-lens reflex camera next to him: "Why did your godfather say that it was good for a few days in the end? Obviously, I lost." ”

How do you know that the woman of the Cai family didn't even look at him, she just took the scene seriously, and turned her head after taking the photo: "What are you proud of?"

"Smug?" Li Yundao and the second monk were puzzled.

"Of course you are proud, my godfather had a record of winning three games in a row when he played against Master Nie, and you can hold on to it until the end, you are amazing. ”

Who is Nie everyone Li Yundao naturally knows, although he has been trapped on Kunlun Mountain for more than 20 years, but he has not read less newspapers and magazines, in the world chess arena, Nie everyone can be regarded as a leader, Old Man Qin can play against Nie everyone, and he can win three games in a row, which is really beyond Li Yundao's expectations.

There was silence for a moment, and just when the woman of the Cai family thought that Da Diao Min was already convinced, she heard Da Diao Min next to her say slowly: "Actually, I saw the traps laid by Old Man Qin halfway down, but it was too late to remedy it at that time." ”

"Can you tell that I'm doing Grandpa's Bureau?" Cai Taoyao finally put down the camera, and looked at the big Diao people in front of him like a monster.

Li Yundao nodded, but did not directly answer Cai Taoyao's question, but said lightly: "On the mountain, I play chess with the master, and I often take the initiative to admit defeat in the middle of the game." ”

"Huh, then why did you make it to the end today?"

Li Yundao shook his head and said: "I didn't mean to admit defeat or deliberately fight to the end, I will spend 200% of my energy on every event, and spend double or even countless times the sweat of others, I just need the best result." ”

"Then the result is that you can only pass half a move under your master, and my godfather designed you for a long time, but you still can't compare to your master on the mountain?" Others don't know who the old man of the Qin family is, but how could she not know? Even if she was still a little girl with pigtails when the leisurely and casual old man in white scolded Fang Xuan in Beijing just now, but after so many years, there is no one who knows about it who doesn't give a thumbs up.

Although this is called defeat, even the old opponent back then also admired the old man of the Qin family, not to mention the woman of the Cai family who has been exposed to it since childhood?

Li Yundao didn't refute, but also smiled at the woman of the Cai family, in the faint early winter sun, such a smile seemed to add a little warmth to the entire antique alley.

This faint warmth The woman of the Cai family also felt it, but she was still a little annoyed in her heart Da Diao Min's disrespectful remarks to her godfather, but seeing the other party smiling like this, it made it clear that the words he just said were not malicious, but just on the facts.

However, how could Cai Taoyao, who was cultivated by the old man of the Cai family, be as small-bellied as an ordinary woman, although she felt a little uncomfortable, she would not pursue it again, but asked with some curiosity: "I have also seen your master once, and it doesn't seem to be very strange." ”

Li Yundao raised his head and watched the slightly blue sky after the dark clouds dispersed. Yes, if you take off the lama robe that has been worn for seemingly countless years, no one in the crowd will recognize the master. However, it is such a seemingly plain old lama who has cultivated a few disciples who can definitely make the world jaw-dropping, Li Gongjiao's strong and domineering spirit is incomparable, Li Huiyou's civil and military skills are rare in the world, and Shili Gyatso is a rare prodigy-level lama in the world, only Li Yundao's big shortcoming, which is a little pale in comparison to describe it as powerless.

Seeing that Li Yundao didn't speak, Cai Tao didn't feel bored with herself, but just raised the camera to take a frame, and asked casually, "What's your master's name?"

Li Yundao shook his head: "It's not very clear, since he was a child, he rarely mentions himself, and we naturally don't ask." It's just that when I was just sensible, there was a Taoist priest in the temple, and the Taoist priest called Master Baxi. ”

Li Yundao, who looked up at a blue sky and felt the faint warmth of the sun, did not pay attention, and the woman of the Cai family, who was taking pictures, trembled slightly when she heard the last two words.

"Is it Karma Pakhi?" The camera kept changing the focus in the hands of the Cai family woman, but it was just the pink wall eaves common in Jiangnan in the viewfinder screen.

Li Yundao shook his head and said, "I can't remember exactly what it's called." ”

The woman of the Cai family put down the camera, glanced at Li Yundao, turned her head again, and whispered to herself in a voice that she could hear: "How can there be such a coincidental thing in this world, it is impossible and impossible." ”

It's just that Li Yundao didn't hear her talk to herself, and sighed slightly and said, "Let's go, if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to go to a few places before you leave today." ”

At noon, the two of them just ate some bread and drank mineral water in the lion forest, the time was very tight, and the women of the Cai family refused to visit the garden like a horse, so Li Yundao only picked two classics, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yundao, who had a dry mouth, finally took the Cai family woman out of the gate of the lion forest, if it wasn't for Cai Taoyao to book a ticket at half past eight in the evening, it is estimated that she would not want to leave for a while.

Cai Taoyao had already drawn up an itinerary, and at five o'clock she had to embark on the return trip on time, and handed over the key to the minicooper parked in the underground parking lot in front of the view and sent it back to Su Yu by courier.

At 4:55, the person who sent Cai Taoyao came.

A very heavy Land Rover jumped out of a girl who was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
