The carriage bumped all the way out of the city along the official road, and when it reached the junction, a man on a horse was waiting there.

Fu Rongyue saw that he was dressed in black, with two white stripes on his shoulders, it was the person she had agreed with Bai Zhirou, so she hurriedly asked the coachman Uncle Qin to stop, poked his head out and greeted him: "This son, are you from the Bai family?"

"Miss Fu!" The man smiled heartily: "No wonder Zhirou always mentions you in the mansion, saying that you are Bingxue smart, and it is true." Under the name Qin Zhi, the word Wentang, I am Zhirou's eldest brother, you can directly call me the word table, just call me Wentang. Zhirou asked me to guide you, I was not happy with my boss, but now I feel that it is very comfortable to be able to walk with such a beautiful young lady all the way. Let's go, although our Shennongling is not a famous mountain and river, but there are many organs inside, if there is no one to guide the way, I am afraid that we will not be able to walk for a day!"

The people in the rivers and lakes are not twisted, this temper is very much to Fu Rongyue's appetite.

She pursed her lips and smiled: "In this way, there is Brother Lao Wentang!"

Qin Wentang patted the horse and walked to the side of the carriage, one horse and one cart walked side by side, the two chatted from time to time, and the time passed quickly.

It's just that Fu Rongyue is strange in her heart, Qin Wentang is Bai Zhirou's eldest brother, why is he not surnamed Bai?

She took a closer look at the appearance of the two, and only felt that this young man was tall and strong, with slightly dark skin, and very good-looking facial features. In terms of appearance, the possibility that the two are brothers and sisters is very low.

She is also not easy to ask, and when she first met, it was abrupt to ask.

After enduring doubts all the way for an hour, the carriage had already finished the official road, turned onto the dirt road, and kept walking through the forest seven or eight times. Fu Rongyue took a closer look, and the woods in this area seemed to be arranged according to the Fuxi gossip, covered by shrubs, which looked the same as ordinary mountains, but in fact there were mysteries.

I have heard that Shennongling has been blessed and protected by the formation of masters outside the world, and some secret techniques of the mechanism are also expected.

Fu Rongyue looked at it with a flat face, and her attitude of not being surprised made Qin Wentang on the side nod again and again, the last time he went to pick up Mu Fei, the daughter of the Mu family, to come to the mansion, the girl asked all the way, annoying him half to death.

After the carriage walked through the woods, the eyes suddenly opened up, and a slip of white practice fell down from the top of the mountain, and landed in a deep pool not far away, the sound of the rushing water was accompanied by the white ethereal water vapor, just like a fairyland. The carriage walked along the road by the waterhole, turned around and entered a cave covered by vines, and a hidden cottage appeared in front of me.

Fu Rongyue's location is halfway up the mountain, and from this point of view, Shennong Bai's family is built along the col of Shennong Ridge, which is a concave building complex. The eaves are tiled, layered on top of each other, and it seems that there are quite a few people.

"That's our house over there. Qin Wentang carried the horsewhip and pointed to the middle of the concave shape, where is an independent courtyard, the two tall white pillars at the door are very eye-catching, the pillars are surrounded by vines, and there are still small flowers blooming at this time, there is a unique tranquility.

Fu Rongyue praised sincerely: "I always feel that Zhirou's temperament is like water, which is the result of family style cultivation." ”

Qin Wentang said with a smile: "Yes, Zhirou grew up with her father, her father is erudite and talented, and she has been greatly influenced. Unlike me, I followed Master when I was a child, and Master was a big man who was obsessed with martial arts, and he couldn't teach me these literary things. ”

"Brother Wentang is too modest!" Fu Rongyue said with a smile: "It can be seen that the eldest brother is also a very good person. ”

"Haha, it's only you who think that my father and Zhirou always think I'm very bad. Qin Wentang laughed disappreliantly, and suddenly slapped his horse a few steps forward, revealing a hint of pampering in his tone: "Look, Zhirou is here to greet you." She must have been standing at the gate of the courtyard and saw our carriage. This little girl, every time I go out, she never goes out to take a look, Miss Fu has such a big face!"

Before the words fell, Fu Rongyue heard Bai Zhirou's voice in her ears: "Okay, big brother is always sour, when did you go out and I didn't wait at the gate?"

Qin Wentang said with a smile: "The person has been delivered, I can be regarded as done." Hello sister, I said slowly, I'll go and see if my dad needs help. ”

He said hello to Fu Rongyue, and left first.

The carriage stopped, Mei Shan lifted the curtain, and Bai Zhirou was standing outside the car on tiptoe and looking at Fu Rongyue with a smile.

She stretched out her hand to hold Fu Rongyue's hand, lifted it gently, and took Fu Rongyue off the carriage. Her girl was busy directing the coachman Uncle Qin to stop and rest, and took Mei Shan to use some snacks, leaving the two young ladies to walk leisurely and enjoy the winter scenery in the mountains.

Bai Zhirou's face was full of excitement: "Yue'er, look, that is the Zuijing Pavilion I told you about last time, and it was over there that he promised me that I would definitely come to our Shennongling again." ”

Fu Rongyue followed her hand and saw that there was a cliff on the left side of the pond, and the pavilion was built on the edge of the cliff, and she could see the clouds rising and falling in the distance, and the scenery was extremely beautiful.

She couldn't help but nodded: "Zuijing Pavilion, it's really good to get this name." ”

"My dad took it. Bai Zhirou smiled and said, "He likes these graceful things." ”

Since the head of the Shennongling family was mentioned, Fu Rongyue hurriedly asked a question that he couldn't figure out just now.

Bai Zhirou's face darkened, and then she said with relief: "You guessed right, the eldest brother is indeed not my own eldest brother." My dad is not my own father, my own father was gone when I was very young, my mother and my father have a good relationship, and after my father left, he was depressed, and he followed not long after. Before leaving, he entrusted me and the entire Shennongling to my father, who heard that I was only two years old at the time. It was my father who raised me and taught me to read, learn calligraphy and medicine, his surname is Qin, his name is Qin Shuangao, and you will see my father in a while. ”

Qin Shuangao, this name is good, Fu Rongyue nodded, and there was no speculation in her heart, probably Bai Zhirou's father was a noble man like plum blossoms.

Bai Zhirou said this, and laughed again: "But at this time, you still have to accompany me, there are many friends in the rivers and lakes, I only know one or two, let my father toss." Let's just go around the mountains and waters, and when the time comes, we can go back to dinner!"

"Then where did your eldest brother go?" Fu Rongyue felt strange, how could Qin Wentang not even find a shadow when he entered Shennongling.

Bai Zhirou held her hand and looked very happy when she mentioned her eldest brother: "Big brother, big brother has to help my father take care of housekeeping, and he is very busy on weekdays." Today I am a little birthday star, I don't do anything, there are so many people in the valley again, he must be busier!"

The two walked slowly along the road, and after a short time they came to the double stone pillars they had just seen on the mountainside.

Look closely, this pillar is very high, and there are some patterns and words carved on the pillar, look at the cracks on those lines, this pillar is a hundred years old, to say the least. Fu Rongyue carefully identified it, and didn't know any of the words on it, and asked Bai Zhirou to know that this was the Miao text from Miao Jiang's side, which was blessed by Miao Jiang's witches, and it was able to calm the house and avoid ghosts and monsters. This pillar stands here, and in the past hundred years, no matter how fierce the disaster outside the ridge is, there has never been any natural disaster in Shennongling**.

The courtyard of the Bai family is repaired in the eye of the mountain, the courtyard is very large, as soon as you enter the door, you will see people coming and going, all wearing a uniform of blue and white.

Bai Zhirou explained: "The disciples in the front yard are all accepted by my father, and they are all just getting started. ”

Passing through the corridor in the front yard, there are more and larger rooms in the middle courtyard, and there are many people, but they are still busy. The people in this courtyard are all studying medicine and have already learned half a pot, so they are all busy studying medical skills, and people in white coarse cloth clothes can be seen everywhere squatting in front of the grass and medicine jars with books in their hands.

After this courtyard, we arrived at the backyard, and there were many fewer people in the backyard at once, there were no more than twenty rooms, and the people who haunted it were all dressed in black, only the white stripes on the shoulders were slightly different.

Bai Zhirou explained: "All of them here are my father's personal disciples, there are a total of nine senior brothers and sisters, the eldest brother is the eldest, and the stripes on their shoulders are two. The two older ones over there with three stripes on their shoulders were the elders of the Bai family. ”

Following her fingers, she saw that in the room next to her, two old men were playing against each other, and the stripes on their shoulders were really three, which was different from Qin Wentang's.

It turns out that this pattern is not casual, but it is a status symbol.

Fu Rongyue smiled: "What about you, do you also wear this kind of clothes on weekdays?"

"I, I don't wear it!" Bai Zhirou covered her mouth and chuckled: "I'll just wear a skirt." Daddy won't care about me!"

Fu Rongyue pursed her lips and chuckled, Bai Zhirou is the daughter of the head of the family, of course, she doesn't need to dress according to the disciples. However, Qin Wentang is also the son of the head of the family, why does he need to wear a disciple's uniform?

It seems that this Shennongling is not much simpler than the aristocratic mansions in the capital!

While the two were talking, a young man wearing a disciple's uniform suddenly came in front of him, he walked up to the two of them, nodded to Fu Rongyue, and Bai Zhirou hurriedly called: "Fifth Senior Brother!"

"I also said where did you go, it turned out that you went to pick up Miss Fu. Your guests have all arrived, and I couldn't find you just now, so I led them to sit in your courtyard, and now your third senior brother is entertaining guests, so hurry up!" said the man.

Bai Zhirou's eyebrows and eyes couldn't hide the happiness in her eyes, and she said in a trembling voice: "He...... Is he here too?"

"Yes, yes!" the man said with a funny and angry face, "I heard that he also brought you a gift!"

Bai Zhirou held Fu Rongyue's hand, turned her head and smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyebrows: "Yue'er, the person I told you last time, he's here! Let's go quickly, let you get to know him today, otherwise, you don't know what kind of person he is, okay!"

When Fu Rongyue heard that her lover was coming, she became more and more curious, and greeted the fifth senior brother, and the two walked in hand in hand.

Bai Zhirou lives in the Tibetan Fragrance Garden, which is an elegant attic, and as soon as the two entered the door, they saw a man and a woman talking with their backs to the two.

Bai Zhirou grabbed Fu Rongyue's hand tightly, and her eyes lit up suddenly......
