Of course, Cui Hanzhang didn't believe that he could seal the dragon with one word, but when he saw those eyes, he knew in his heart that he must not lie, and those eyes were full of vicissitudes, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

Thinking in my heart that if I can keep Xikou peaceful for thousands of years, the people will naturally regard it as a god, and they will kowtow three times in the morning and dusk, and a stick of incense in the morning and evening. Belief in such an ethereal thing as incense would rather be believed in its existence than in its non-existence.

Strange to say, since Qiu Long walked the river, no matter whether he climbed mountains and waded through rivers or the scorching sun on the way, Cui Hanzhang always felt a cool breeze, just like a spring breeze entering his sleeves, without any tiredness.

On the other side, the armillary zodiac stored in the Qintian Eunuch Taishi Building shook violently, and the beads in the dragon's mouth in the southwest and northwest directions fell into the pool below. After a while, another lotus flower in the pond appeared, but it did not bloom, it was still in the state of flower bones, but unlike other purple lotuses, this lotus flower was golden and shining. When the armillary zodiac shook, it had already alarmed the prison and the Lingtailang, and the golden lotus that appeared in front of everyone's eyes completely confused everyone. Mr. Lou was also crowded in the crowd, and when he saw this golden lotus that had not yet bloomed, he couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his heart. After discussion, Zhongling Tailang had a big disagreement on the good and evil, and he couldn't pay attention to it for a while, so he had to report it truthfully, and the prison was entering the palace overnight to ask for guilt.

Recently, the purple has been faintly dim, and the stars are twinkling, I am afraid that it is not a good omen. Pang Yan tried his best to deduce in Tianxin Temple, hoping to find clues from it, but he couldn't make an inch for several days. Just as he was caught in a mess of hexagrams, Pingkang Wang Youqi brought news that two dragon balls had fallen from the Qintianjian Taishi Building, and a golden lotus that had not yet bloomed appeared in the pool. Pang Yu caught something in the lightning, but it was vague, like a chaotic fog. I just told the eldest prince that there is something big going to happen in the near future, please be careful with your Royal Highness.

Just said that along the way, Cui Hanzhang and the scholar traveled day and night, and the path was safe and did not enter. Continue to choose the mountain shortcut to take Taikang, the two of them have a good foot, along the way hungry to eat dry food, thirsty to drink the mountain spring, but also comfortable, but unfortunately on the road except to meet the woodcutter who chopped wood, there is no more wonder. In the blink of an eye, four days have passed. Cui Xuan said, "After turning over the Yimao Peak in front, it is Taikang City." ”

"Yimao Peak has always heard of it, known for its steepness, and the frost in September under Yimao Peak is the best product in wine. Let's go to the foot of the northern foothills later, and it's best to bring a few bottles into the city. Hanzhang always thought about how to go to Cui Shangshu's Mansion to thank him, after all, yellow and white things are regarded as vulgar things in the eyes of Cui Shangshu's seal carving art, not to mention that he can't take it out. It just happened that the path of Yimao Peak, bringing a few bottles of wine must be appropriate for the occasion, and it is the best time to drink during the Shangyuan Festival.

Cui Xuan heard that the good wine of September Frost was naturally addicted to alcohol worms, and since the last time he was drunk, he slept very peacefully, as if the wine worm had entered his stomach, and he often couldn't help but want to drink two sips. No wonder the old saying goes, 'Teenagers don't be greedy for cups', Cui Hanzhang knew that he drank to numb his nerves and forget the pain, but he didn't stop him, just let him drink every time. Looking at the dead horses running in the mountains, when the two of them arrived at the foot of the northern foothills, it was already a watch.

And the September frost at the northern foot of Yimao Peak is too famous, often people come here, and it is rumored that the camphor tree in front of the store is 800 years old, and it has experienced ups and downs and stands tall, the root system is developed, penetrates the underground water veins, moistens the place, and the water is good and the wine is naturally brewed.

In the Shenguang Dynasty, from the Imperial Palace Ouchi to the common people, wine was a necessity of life. The two saw that there were still banners in front of the store, and two carriages were parked, and it was estimated that there were still tourists lingering.

The two discussed, thinking of borrowing a night from the store and entering the city early tomorrow morning. Walking into the store, a smell of wine comes from the store, the whole store decoration is simple and clear, fortunately, the hall is bright, there is a large stove in the center of the store, and the radius of the stove is half a meter, and there is a circle of high chairs around the stove for guests to drink around the stove. There are double-tiered platforms on each side of the east and west, and the platforms are filled with wine jars of different shapes, including a glass wine jar filled with amber September frost, which is crystal clear under the light. There is still a table of guests by the window on the north side, who are still playing and guessing wine, and they look like northerners. Outside the window, a huge waterwheel is connected to the waterfall, which can extract the spring water flowing from the mountain day and night.

The shopkeeper saw the scholar Cui Xuan's face tremble, and he was instinctively scared in his heart. Fortunately, Cui Hanzhang stepped forward to explain and appease, saying that it was a student who came to Taikang to participate in the Qionglin banquet from other places, and it was too late to come to borrow a stay, and the room fee was paid. The shopkeeper told the shop that the shop was in the business of selling wine, and the room was broken, only a few, which had been taken away by the guests in the north of the table, and if the two wanted to live, they could only go to the firewood room to live for one night, and the room fee was not charged. After walking for a few days on the mountain road, I have lived in barren mountains and mountains, so I naturally don't care about the simple firewood house, so I hurriedly surrendered my hand to thank you.

The two found a table, ordered two meats and two vegetarian bottles of September cream, and drank each other.

"'The jade bowl holds amber light' The ancients' praise for the September frost is really appropriate, although what we have in our hands is only a white porcelain bowl, but the effect is not bad.

You can see that the color of this wine is really like amber, yellow-orange and transparent, mellow in the mouth, fragrant and rapping, and has a long aftertaste.

'Hug the piano and get drunk, and lie down in the sun all day long' must be the most comfortable. Cui Hanzhang also slept in the open air for a long time, his mouth was light and tasteless, and the wine he drank was sensitive.

"I can't drink so much, I just feel the heat in my heart after my mouth, and then a warm current runs all over my limbs, and my whole body is comfortable." Cui Xuan lowered his head and muttered as he stuffed something into his mouth.

Hanzhang also laughed and didn't say anything when he heard what he said, everyone has their own way of drinking.

"The son is very talented, 'hug the piano and get drunk, and lie down in the sun all day long',

If you come to my store to drink at one moment, keep it so that you can sleep until three o'clock in the unitary hour, and forget to return home at sunset. ”

At this time, a lady came down from the second floor, her waist swaying like a willow, and she walked in style. The face is like a silver plate, the clouds and temples are towering, although it is close to the Shangyuan Festival at this time, but the spring is cold, this lady is thin and fluttering.

The people on the edge are like the moon, and the frost and snow are condensed on the wrists.

Her chest is straight, her exposed lower abdomen is flat and smooth, and a pair of slender white legs are looming in the shawl when she walks. Her eyes were bright, like stars in the sky, and her smile was heartwarming. No one who saw her believed that she was a woman of thirty. Of course, her age is as secret as the formula of the September cream......

Every time Zhuo Siniang went downstairs in such a graceful manner, it always caused the customers in the store to howl excitedly, and few men who drank wine were calm and quiet. When he got closer, he saluted and said, "The slave family just heard the son's evaluation of the small wine in this store, and it is rare to meet a confidant in the wine, so I took the liberty to go downstairs to see it." ”

Cui Hanzhang hurriedly got up and saluted with his fists: "It's abrupt under it, it was a good poem with witty words and poems from my predecessors, but I was not talented in my later life, and I picked up people's teeth and wisdom." ”

"Hehe, what are you nervous about" Zhuo Siniang covered her mouth and smiled.

"What the son said is deep in my heart, hugging the qin gu and getting drunk, but it inspired the slave family to name the new wine, 'hugging' is good, not bad.

I'm invited for today's meal. ”

I saw Siniang turn around and explain to the shopkeeper, and after speaking, she saluted and left. Cui Hanzhang can't afford to react at all.

Zhuo Siniang is the living sign of this September frost shop, and the heroes of the past are all coming for the name of September Shuang, but in the end, it is the style of the proprietress that makes people forget to return, but so far, I have not heard of anyone picking this thorny rose. At this time, Zhuo Siniang toasted at the table of the northern guests like a butterfly wearing flowers, which made the hearts of a table of men itch, but they couldn't catch her.

Thinking that he would have to enter the city tomorrow, Cui Hanzhang explained that he would finish eating quickly and rest early. The little guy who ran the hall led the two to the errand room, saying that our boss lady told her that she didn't have anything to do at night, and the north foot was not very peaceful recently.

Later, the little maid also sent a thin quilt with two beds, saying that the proprietress took care of you, Cui Xuan whispered quietly: "Childe, the baggage of the northern guests is bulging, and it looks like a blade." When Cui Hanzhang heard him, he recalled that there were indeed bags on the table of those drinkers, of different lengths.

"Let's be careful tonight, close the door of the firewood room, I think this shop is not simple, the famous September frost, the coquettish proprietress of the barren mountains and mountains, who robs who is really not necessarily." Cui Hanzhang thought further.

It is true that the two of them have practiced the style, and after they are full of wine and food, they are also sleepy, and they fall asleep. In his dream, Hanzhang seemed to hear the sound of a fight, and the sound of the metal impact of swords and swords lasted until the second half of the night.

When the two of them were asleep, two masked men outside the door of the firewood room were holding long knives and discussing, "I can't make such a big noise to them, and I slept deep enough." ”

"You don't know the shopkeeper's drugging methods, the medicine is more than enough for a cow. To kill or not to kill? ”

Siniang explained, if these two scholars don't come out to make trouble at night, don't move. It's a pity that the skin is tender and the meat is tender. ”

The two chatted for a few words, and then went to the front yard to help clean up, fetch water and scrub.

After a night without words, Cui Hanzhang woke up early and practiced the kiln style in the yard. It happened that Zhuo Siniang was pushing the window on the second floor, and when she saw him gesturing with her fists and feet, she couldn't help but tease: "Hey, I can't think of a son or a practitioner?" ”

Cui Hanzhang retracted and stood still, "The boss lady praised it falsely, I am a kiln in my hometown, and I am practicing my strength." ”

When I looked up, I inadvertently saw Zhuo Siniang's slender neck, smooth jade shoulders exposed, and a towering chest under the delicate collarbone, so I quickly turned my head back to the firewood room.

Looking at Cui Hanzhang who turned his head and left, Siniang couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and muttered: "I didn't expect to be a chick." ”

Wake up Cui Xuan, clean up and go to the front hall to eat. Bowing his head and drinking porridge, Cui Xuan was still wondering, "I usually never sleep lazy, what's wrong today, I seemed to hear a lot of people fighting in my dream last night, swords and swords." ”

Early in the morning, the shopkeeper arranged for the servants to hang lanterns, and the whole September frost shop was hung with lanterns of different shapes around the front and back of the store, and even the camphor tree in front of the door was also hung a lot. Thinking that tonight is the Shangyuan Festival, I must go to the city, but I don't dare to delay the big event of the son's participation in the Qionglin banquet. Cui Xuan ate well and hurriedly went to the counter to settle the bill, but the shopkeeper did not accept the money, and finally he couldn't shirk it.

The shopkeeper said: "I heard that Gongzi is a talented man who went to Taikang to participate in the Qionglin banquet, so please ask Gongzi to write a new link to the shop." ”

After speaking, he asked the little maid to prepare the four treasures of the study, and set up the rice paper table in a while.

Cui Hanzhang thought about eating for nothing and living in other people's homes, and he couldn't help it.

Pondering quietly, he wrote with a pen, "Hug the qin and get drunk, and lie down in the sun all day long", asked Cui Xuan to find the seal, and covered it with a heavy sigh. Speaking of which, this seal is still Mr. Lou's parting gift to Cui Hanzhang, the stone is taken on the spot Xikou lychee frozen stone, the seal 'Xikou Cui Hanzhang' is carved with a small seal penmanship, different from Cui Shangshu's iron painting silver hook, Lou Yueshan's seal carving pen goes dragon and snake, the font is flying.

Taking advantage of Cui Hanzhang's couplet, Cui Xuan chatted with the old housekeeper, knowing that he was also going to the city to buy some holiday items, so he made an appointment to take a carriage.

Cui Hanzhang looked at the written couplet and blew lightly, he was also quite satisfied, and he couldn't imagine that it was the first time he used the seal so well. Those who know me, the master of the building.

Zhuo Siniang had already gone downstairs, approached and carefully looked at the couplet on the table, and couldn't help but clap her hands and praise, "It seems that I still earned it, and the firewood room was exchanged for this kind of ink treasure." Turning his head, he instructed the little guy next to him: "Erbao, put it away, go back to the city to find a good master to frame it and hang it in the lobby." ”

"Okay, boss lady" Erbao was diligent and quickly put away Mobao.

Hearing that Cui Hanzhang wanted to buy a few bottles of September Frost to take away, the shopkeeper looked at the proprietress with Cui Hanzhang's amorous appearance, and he didn't dare to collect the money, the two pushed back and forth, and finally Zhuo Siniang made a final decision, "The wine money will be collected according to it, and it will be discounted." Cui Hanzhang didn't dare to buy more, so he only chose three small altars to move to the carriage.

Along the way, the two chatted with the shopkeeper. Speaking of which, it is not easy for Zhuo Siniang and a woman's family to support this family business, and how many people have the idea of this September frost, not thinking about both wealth and sex. The shopkeeper's open chatter is also endless, speaking of which the proprietress is rare to be so enthusiastic about passing guests, Cui Gongzi can often come to the September Frost Shop in Beilu to sit in the future when he has time, and the wine is enough. No matter how Cui Xuan said, he didn't mention the whereabouts of the guests at the table in the north yesterday. simply didn't ask anymore, and after an hour, the three of them parted at the city gate.

Zhu Ji Luo Qi competes for luxury, talking about the wealthy family of Taikang City, Cui Hanzhang has long been yearning for the capital Taikang between the lines in the book, and now he has entered the city, and it is really the charm of the royal capital.

In the city, the streets are spacious, the side streets are crisscrossed, and the bluestone-paved ground makes a crisp sound under the kicking of horses' hooves, which can be heard from afar.

The master and servant inquired all the way about how to go to Doumi Lane, only to see Mingwei dressed up at home at this time, waiting for Cui Hanzhang to come to the door early in the morning. I can't wait for the left, I can't wait for the right, thinking that there will be no accident. sent the housekeeper Lao Cui to the city gate to greet him, who would have thought that Lao Cui saw the two people who were asking for directions as soon as he came out of the alley.

"Uncle, over here." Lao Cui shouted twice, asked the little guy to be fast, and ran forward to take the salute, mainly the three jars of September frost.

After many days, when they saw familiar people again, the two felt very cordial and walked forward quickly.

"Uncle, the eldest lady is waiting for you at home early in the morning, this will be all in a hurry." Hearing Lao Cui's words, Cui Hanzhang was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly home immediately. The two followed Lao Cui to a corner and arrived at Doumi City Lane. I saw that the alley is not wide, it can be two cars together, but it is better in the quiet, the bluestone slab of the paving, grinding smooth and round, straight to the street next to it, it can be said that the market is further prosperous, take a step back is a quiet alley, the geographical location is very superior.

Hanzhang raised his eyes and saw that the stone steps of the three ascendants were dark and shiny, and the two black lacquered wooden doors were wide open, and Mingwei was already standing at the door to greet him. Don't see each other, it's very kind. Cui Hanzhang took Mingwei's hand and walked directly into the door. "It's cold outside, don't freeze my sister Mingwei."

Mingwei was held by the hand, listening to the whispers of the lover, not to mention how happy she was, the anxiety of the morning disappeared in an instant, and while walking side by side, she pointed to the small lake on the right and told him that the lotus seeds brought back from the mouth of the stream had been planted, and they were waiting for the midsummer season to bloom with lotus flowers. Mingwei didn't notice it herself, at this time she was the shy demeanor of a little woman, introducing the home furnishings to the owner, as if inviting merit.

The two chatted and sat down in the main hall, Mingwei suddenly remembered that at three o'clock, the first three of them had to participate in the street parade ceremony, and they couldn't be delayed, so they immediately sent the little maid to take Cui Xuan to take the list to the Ministry of Rites to verify the point, and quickly called the maid to wash Cui Hanzhang and change his clothes, saying that it was his first appearance in Taikang, and he must have spirit.

People rely on clothing, and Buddha relies on gold. Cui Hanzhang changed into the clothes that Ming Wei had prepared a long time ago, which fit quite well, and the whole person was immediately radiant and radiant.
