In the evening, the day's rain finally stopped. A beautiful rainbow hangs in the clear blue sky. The raindrops, which condensed on the branches, dripped down and made a crisp sound.

Lan Xin pushed open the window, and the cool air came to his face, mixed with the freshness after the rain, which made people feel refreshed.

"Girl!" "Girl!" the red-sleeved curtain walked in and said, "Fifth Mrs. Ouyang sent an invitation, saying that she was going to go to Fengshan outside the city tomorrow to eat vegetarian food. ”

Lan Xin turned to look at the pink, slightly jasmine-scented invitation in the hand of the red sleeves, smiled silently, hooked his lips and said, "If you tell the visitor, you will say that tomorrow, I will definitely go to the appointment." ”

After the red sleeves went out in response, Lan Xin flicked the note in his hand, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: Fifth Master Ouyang is worried that things will change, and he can't wait. As he spoke, he picked up the incense burner and threw the note in his hand into it.

The tongue of fire slowly devoured the note, and the words "peace, get rid of" on the note slowly turned into ashes.

The next morning, Lan Xin wore a creamy white narrow sleeved long dress, embroidered with pink ruyi patterns on the neckline and cuffs, and a blooming red plum that stretched from the waist to the skirt. A pair of Ruyi pattern Shu brocade shoes.

Wearing a split bun and wearing a set of pearl heads. is like a nine-day fairy who has strayed into the world, Chu Chu is moving, beautiful and refined.

The origin of Maple Mountain is naturally due to the many maple trees on the mountain. In autumn, the maple leaves all over the mountains turn red. From afar, it looks like a magnificent ruby set in the mountains. Therefore, Maple Mountain also has a name, called "Red Jade Mountain" or "Gem Mountain"

There is a Maple Mountain Temple at the top of Maple Mountain. Every year, only when the maple leaves turn red, the presiding officer of the temple will open the mountain gate to welcome the pilgrims from all directions.

The eldest lady of the Zhuge family has a manor near Fengshan, and when she saw an endless stream of pilgrims, she was moved. Most of the maple mountain was bought and repaired into small courtyards for pilgrims to rest.

Because it is close to the temple, it is a day of pilgrimage. Therefore, most of the wine and food provided to the pilgrims in the manor are vegetarian food. Over time, the vegetarian food here became famous. Fengshan Manor has also become a good place for talented people to go out of the city and ladies and ladies to play.

And in autumn, when the maple leaves are red. It's even more overcrowded. Many yards have been booked, and some yards have even been rented by some large families for a long time.

As soon as Lan Xin's carriage drove out of the alley, he encountered the carriage of Fifth Lady Ouyang. The people around the fifth lady came over and invited Lan Xin to come over to sit, and Lan Xin, accompanied by Bai Aya, got into the carriage of the fifth lady Ouyang.

When they arrived at the foot of Fengshan Mountain, Fifth Lady Ouyang ordered someone to bring the curtain and proposed to get out of the car and take a walk. Lan Xin naturally had no opinion, and let Bai Aya help him bring the curtain away.

After the two got out of the carriage, the housekeeper's mother, Ruan's mother, arranged for three guards to walk in front so as not to be hit by those who were not long-sighted. Four other people were arranged in the back, and the rest were scattered around not far away.

More than a dozen maids followed behind, protecting the fifth lady and Lan Xin tightly. Lan Xin couldn't help but be stunned as she watched the battle of the fifth lady's trip. This pomp and circumstance is really ······

When I saw that there were only two people around me, Red Sleeves and White Aya, I didn't even bring a guard, so I was a little thin.

The road down the hill is very smooth and paved with bluestone, and two carriages can walk side by side. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Fifth Lady Ouyang took Lan Xin to the small pavilion halfway up the mountain to rest.

Maybe it was because it had just rained yesterday, and there was a chill in the gust of mountain wind. Lan couldn't help but shiver, and it wasn't until he held a warm cup of tea in his hand that he felt better.

The mountain wind rustles the leaves. Through the gap in the maple trees, you can faintly see the blue tiles and white walls of the manor not far away. The manor is built on the mountain, and the exquisite small courtyards are connected by steps in all directions, like an inseparable whole. But after closing the courtyard door, they were orderly and did not disturb each other.

Fifth Lady Ouyang took a few sips of tea, followed Lan Xin's gaze, and said with a smile: "This pavilion is built according to the mountain, and you can see the panoramic view of Fengshan Manor here. If Lan Xin comes over next time when the maple leaves are red, he will definitely see a more beautiful scenery. ”

Lan Xin said with a smile: "The whole manor is built because of the mountain, and from a distance, the courtyards seem to be hanging on the hillside. It's ingenious, ingenious!"

Mrs. Ouyang was born in the Zhuge family, and this Fengshan manor came from the Zhuge family. Now that I hear Lan Xin's praise, I am naturally honored. She smiled and beckoned, "Let's get closer, let's see what it really is." ”

The two walked out of the pavilion and walked along the bluestone road for some distance. The two turned left and came to a path that was shoulder-width apart from the three of them. After about thirty or forty paces, I turned right onto another path. After walking for more than ten steps, they encountered layers of stone steps, and the two of them climbed the stairs and continued to walk towards the manor.

After about 20 steps, I didn't continue to climb up, but went straight along the path on the right. Turning a rose shelf, my eyes suddenly opened up, and I came to a small courtyard with two entrances.

As soon as a few people walked into the gate of the courtyard, a woman in her thirties came out from inside as the little maid curtsied and saluted. Dressed in an apricot yellow narrow-sleeved dress, with a ruby head on her head, her steps are light, her laughter is hearty, and she is full of coolness.

When he got closer, he bowed to Mrs. Ouyang: "Fourth sister, you can be regarded as here, my sister has been waiting for you for a long time." As he spoke, he affectionately grabbed the arm of Fifth Lady Ouyang.

Lan Xin saw that the eyebrows and eyes of the person who came were similar to the fifth lady Ouyang, and he was familiar with his gestures. guessed, the person in front of him should be the cousin of Fifth Lady Ouyang, Miss Zhuge Jiu. Now married into the sixth master of the Yuwen family, the sixth lady of Yuwen.

Speaking of which, Master Yuwen Sixth and Master Yuwen are half-brothers. But the two people have been at odds with each other since they were children, and the reason for this is nothing more than the dirty things between their concubines.

Now the sixth lord of Yuwen is the county guard of Ningyang County. The sixth lady is also the daughter of the Zhuge family, one of the four major families. On the surface, the sixth master of Yuwen is no worse than the great master of Yuwen. However, the daughter of the dragon and phoenix fetus of the eldest lord of the Yuwen family is very popular in the palace.

The people of the Yuwen family all rely on the eldest master, but the people in the palace still need the assistance of the family outside the palace. In short, in these big families, this is the kind of relationship that is constantly cut and intertwined.
