As Sheng Lu said, this Danmo Building is not far from the wharf. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The carriage didn't go long before it stopped.

Raising the curtain of the car, before the people got down, the west wind first swept into the car with a slightly bitter fragrance.

When I got out of the carriage, I saw a bush of wild chrysanthemums on the side of the road, which was blooming golden and brilliant, and the fragrance was fragrant.

Not far away stands a three-storey pavilion, the blue tile powder wall, the carved lattice, under the eaves of the second floor, hang a plaque of soap bottom gold paint, on the book "Dan Mo Building" three words.

The door downstairs was open, and sure enough, there was an endless stream of people coming in and out, and it looked very lively.

Sheng Lu waited for Sheng Weiqiao and his party to get out of the carriage before leading the way and leading them inside-after all, he was the principal of the Sheng family's faction here, but he was very familiar with this Dan Mo Building.

Seeing him coming, a middle-aged man dressed as a rich man walked a few steps quickly to greet him, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Shopkeeper Sheng, what a rare guest!

"The shopkeeper Huan is serious, these are the three young ladies of my family, and Ao Gongzi after the world friendship!" Sheng Lu greeted him, but he didn't have time to greet him, so he hurriedly turned sideways, revealing Sheng Weiqiao and his party to introduce.

When the shopkeeper heard this, the smile on his face became a little more enthusiastic, and he shook it to the ground at Sheng Weiqiao and the others: "The little one said that the magpie is calling on the branch in the morning, and there must be a distinguished guest coming to the door!" Sure enough, a few people will come, and the little stupid will not say anything good and obedient, but whether it is the generosity of the old lady Sheng in the past years to serve the country from Rong and Danxin, or the filial piety of Sheng Hanlin in order to fulfill the filial piety of the old lady and the young man to return to his hometown, there is no one who does not admire!"

Immediately, he turned his head and instructed the little servant behind him, "Today, the accounts of a few distinguished guests are all exempted! Then take two pots of chrysanthemum wine brewed by the owner himself, and send them to the private room set by the shopkeeper!"

Sheng Weiqiao and his entourage were not exempted from going to the restaurant before, but that was because the restaurant was either the Sheng family's own or the Xuan family or the Feng family, and then there was a request from the Sheng family, the Xuan family, and the Feng family. Now this Dan Mo Lou is not related to them, and the power of the three powerful families in Nanfeng County has not affected anything in this Bishui County, this Huan shopkeeper is very good at talking, and he is so bold and enthusiastic, and he immediately won the common favor of their group.

At that moment, Sheng Weiqiao pursed his lips and smiled: "Thanks to the shopkeeper who remembers his grandfather and father, it is also an honor to be unfilial to his descendants." It's just free of charge, the first time you come to the door, how can you call your building a fee?"

He also said, "We have never been out of Nanfeng County before, lonely and unheard, I don't know the name of Danmo Building, but looking at the shopkeeper's trip, your building has not been famous in the world, it must be your master is low-key, and he doesn't like to publicize it!"

At this time, Sheng Lu smiled and said: "Miss, the chrysanthemum wine brewed by the owner of Dan Molou now, although it sounds like a common name, it has a unique secret, sweet and refreshing, suitable for all ages, but there have never been many, and people who are idle can't buy it even if they have money." Today, a young lady and her entourage came, and the shopkeeper promised two pots, which shows the reputation of our lord and old lady!"

Sheng Weiqiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he saw that he was flattering, so to speak, the enthusiasm and boldness of the shopkeeper Huan were afraid that they would not be able to get rid of this Sheng Lu, but this is also human nature, she didn't plan to care, she was coaxed, and thanked the shopkeeper Huan with a smile, and Fang entered surrounded by a group of people.

In the end, this place is holding a chrysanthemum meeting, only to enter the door, I saw that the shelves are high and low, full of all kinds of chrysanthemums in full bloom, a rough glance over, I saw that there are many varieties that are rare to see in ordinary people: koji powder, Zhezhi Huang, sandalwood, pink butterfly, crape myrtle lang, red silk jade, silver phoenix feather, Chiying plate, yellow under the lamp, honey lotus, pine chrysanthemum, green heart jade, green clothes and yellow clothes, purple dragon beard, Gu shot muscles, beautiful Xizi, embroidered hibiscus, big golden wheel, purple robe gold belt, green lotus, smoke shop brocade, silver crane, pink, violet shirt, Water Essence Plate, Purple Gold Plate, Yang Fei Evening Wear, Sandalwood Plate, Qu Purple, Jiehuan Tape, Snow Lotus Terrace, Coral Branch, Purple Mushroom, One Grain, Jade Haoguang, Silver Twist Thread, Tiansun Jin, Jade Lianhuan, Jinxin Embroidered Mouth, White Shark Silk, Sea Red Lotus, Pink Crane Ling, Golden Twist Thread, Powder Needle, Gold Paste Shuibi, Amber Lotus, Zixia Qi, White Phoenix, Liulang Noodles, Seven Treasure Plates, Cockroaches......

Its color is white, purple, pink, yellow, orange, colorful, its shape or like a stacked ball, or like a bird's tongue, or like a honeycomb, or like a lotus, or rolled up, or flying, like a jewel, such as a pearl, dazzling, amazing, can not help but give birth to a dizzying feeling.

Although these varieties are available at home, but the nearly 100 varieties of chrysanthemums at home are scattered in the flower beds of Chengchun Terrace, Zhu Huan Xiaozhu, the garden and each room, and the potted plants are placed in one place to enjoy at most a dozen pots, but there are no hundreds of pots placed in a room at the same time as now. Sheng Weiqiao secretly said in his heart, "This is the hall that just came in, this kind of place where people come and go, it is impossible to put the real finale of the famous products here, but many of them are already very rare treasures, and it took a lot of effort for my father to get it for my mother." In this way, it is no wonder that Sheng Lu said that now the whole city of Bishui County is talking about this chrysanthemum meeting, and there are really not many opportunities for these treasures and flowers to gather in one place. ”

The anticipation in her heart suddenly increased.

Sure enough, on the way to the private room, I saw the golden phoenix feather, the national color Tianxiang, the golden needle, the jade Linglong, the pink cui, the red ten thousand dots, the soft branch peach, the golden silkworm, the golden cut velvet, the Fu orange red, the apricot blossom, the yellow jade cong, the purple suit, the golden begonia, the silver peony, the golden hibiscus and other varieties.

Finally, in front of the private room, I saw the obviously new lacquer card on the private room, written with the words "Spring Joy Eyebrows", Huan shopkeeper should first push open the door, take half a step back, and invite Sheng Weiqiao and his party to enter - after entering, I saw that the indigo bottom was paved with gold thread wrapped in the branch of the carcasse, and opposite the door was a red sandalwood side seat Baibao inlaid lion picture interstitial screen, turned the screen, but saw that the spacious and bright room was placed a whole set of pineapple wood curly grass pattern inlaid luodian, ivory furniture, all the secret color porcelain.

This furnishing alone may not be available to ordinary rich families, and it is just a private room in Danmo Building.

Except for the young Sheng Weiqiao and his entourage, the rest of the people subconsciously exchanged glances when they saw this: The backstage of this Danmo Building is only afraid that it will be not small, otherwise even if it can afford this wealth, it may not be able to keep it.

However, these people are not without identity, and they are not afraid of the store bully. So after understanding each other, they also sat down peacefully.

I think it is because of the season, although there is no chill during the day in Bisu-gun at this time, there is still a thick carpet in the sitting and sleeping areas of the room, so as not to feel cold when the guests sit down, and there are several carefully trimmed "spring eyebrows" on the tables between the seats, which should be the origin of the name of the private room.

The huge flowers are blooming freely, exuding a slightly bitter and refreshing air unique to chrysanthemums.

After Sheng Weiqiao sat down, he stretched out his finger and touched the pot of "Chunxi Eyebrows" in his hand, glanced at Sheng Lu, and said, "You have a heart!"

This temporarily renamed private room, as well as the basins of "Spring Joy Eyebrows" in front of it, are clearly for Sheng Sleeping Crane and Xu Baomo Mingchun to ask for praise, it cannot be a coincidence, it must be Sheng Lu's careful arrangement.

"Miss likes it!" Sheng Lu heard this, and was about to say a few words to show his loyalty, but Sheng Weiwei looked left and right, and was already asking, "Where is the chrysanthemum wine?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Tell Miss to wait for a long time!"

turned around and scolded the little guy for being slow and snubbing the distinguished guest-Sheng Weiqiao, of course, also said that his sister was rude: "Let's just sit down, we haven't drunk a sip of tea yet, what kind of wine are you urging! It's just that the wine is coming, you are so big, do you still want to drink?"

After such a politeness, the chrysanthemum wine was quickly sent over, and I saw that the wine was contained in a clear glass pot, the color was slightly yellowish, which meant some golden, and poured out a lamp, and the wine was fragrant, revealing a rich chrysanthemum aroma.

Sheng Weiqiao fulfilled his promise and asked the maid to pour a lamp for everyone, Sheng Lu and the shopkeeper Huan who had not left had a share, only Sheng Weiwei was not allowed to drink, and the anxious Sheng Weiqiao was going to rob Sheng Lu, Sheng Weiqiao called out to her, and asked the maid to pour her a little bit: "Just taste it, how old are you?

So Sheng Weiwei happily took a sip, felt that it was not delicious, and aggrievedly put the glass cup with a little wine left on the table, smacked her lips and said: "It's spicy! It's not sweet at all!"

"It's not sorrel. Sheng Weiqiao smiled and picked up a piece of pastry from the desk and handed it over, signaling her to eat the smell of wine.

The shopkeeper Huan said roundly: "At this time, we also make a special cake chrysanthemum cake, which is suitable for Miss Eight's age. ”

As he spoke, he let people pick it up.

Sheng Weiqiao thanked him, and asked the owner of this Danmo Building casually: "I look at the grand occasion here, it is not something that ordinary people can have, the shopkeeper and his surname is Huan, I don't know what is the relationship with the old man of the two dynasties in the past, Huan Guanlan Gong?"

Although Sheng Lu didn't tell her much about the background of Danmo Building on the way to this Danmo Building, but with Huan Guanlan's fame, when he met the surname Huan in this place in Bishui County, anyone would think of him - I didn't mention it because of this.

At this time, the shopkeeper sighed: "The little ancestor is indeed fortunate to drive the old man for Duke Huan, but since the whereabouts of Duke Huan were unknown twelve years ago, the old man has been missing for a long time, and the family has been separated in the first two years." At that time, this Danmo Building was purchased by the current owner, and the current owner has never dismissed these small people, and is still working in this building with small ones. ”

He also said, "The owner will not be in the building for this matter, otherwise if you know that you are coming, you will definitely come to toast in person, and now only the small one will greet you, and I hope you will not dislike the small ugly!"

"It turns out that this place was once the property of the Huan Gong clan?" Ao Luanxiao said with some emotion, "Huan Gong is wise and sincere, Kuang Fu Sheji, but unfortunately there is no trace of Ping, so far I don't know!"

In fact, it has been twelve years since Huan Guanlan disappeared, and a generation has almost passed, and the results of the thorough investigation back then are still related to the Shu sisters, and everyone thinks that he has died a long time ago.

Otherwise, the children of the Huan family would not have split up a few years ago and sold the ancestral property like Danmo Building.

However, the Huan family did not mourn for him, and secondly, it was also to show respect for him and wish that he was still alive.

Ao Luanxiao was fortunate to read a few articles about Huan Guanlan in the past two years, and he admired this former emperor very much, and he couldn't help but pull the shopkeeper Huan to talk at this moment.

But without saying a few words, someone from outside came to invite the shopkeeper, saying that there was another distinguished guest who needed to be received by the shopkeeper in person.

Sheng Weiqiao's side naturally didn't embarrass the shopkeeper Huan, and said that he would just let him take care of himself.

Seeing that Ao Luanxiao was still reluctant to give up, Sheng Weiqiao quipped: "When we leave, Cousin Ao will go to the shopkeeper Huan to discuss, buy more chrysanthemum wine, and bring it back to the people who didn't come on the boat to taste;

Ao Luanxiao was a little embarrassed by what she said, and picked up the tea bowl to cover up: "I just happened to bump into it and asked, how could I delay the return to the ship for this? ”

Because it was already noon when the boat stopped in Bishui County, it was almost past the meal, so while talking, one after another wine and food had already flowed in.

When the dishes were almost arranged, Sheng Weiqiao motioned for an additional seat at the bottom of the left and right, let Sheng Lu take a seat, and asked, "Didn't you say that there would be a chrysanthemum meeting?"

Sheng Lu first thanked the seat, and explained: "The opening of the chrysanthemum meeting in Danmo Building is to determine the leader of the day at sunset every day, a total of nine days, and on the tenth day, it is the ninth day of the leader to compete again! Today is the seventh day, and now it is only past noon, so the people have not yet arrived, Miss and use some wine and food first, and after the meeting, there will be more people, and it will start." ”

As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced outside, and said, "Huh", "What will happen to everyone today?"

The private room they are now in is on the highest third floor, the second and third floors of this Danmo Building, and the middle is open, presenting a "Hui" shape.

In the middle of the word "Hui" is the main hall on the first floor, a high platform was built, at this time there happened to be two rows of girls in colorful clothes holding copper cymbals, drums, flutes and other musical instruments fluttering up, and the last was a light gauze masked woman, I couldn't see the face, but the figure was well-proportioned and slender, very good-looking, even Sheng Weiqiao and other people who were also women, couldn't help but stare at it and look.

Noticing Sheng Lu's seemingly excited expression, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but be curious: "Shi family, do you mean the masked woman?
