After speaking, Zhi Hui asked the servant to carry the eaves away very carefully and send it to the carriage in Tongji Fang.

And he led Gao Yue to walk, Gao Yue can see the more east side of the Yidao Pavilion and the Baqiao, soon to the left army monument under the road, there is a path on both sides of the beautiful forest to split, straight to the Changle slope on it, the surrounding landscape is picturesque, the pink walls are scattered in the middle, presumably are rich people other business.

Walked up about two or three hundred steps, Gao Yue saw a courtyard, vermilion gate, dark aconitum door, wall corridor like turning, occupied about more than ten acres of territory, planted around a lot of precious plants and flowers, the whole courtyard form is like a crescent moon, there is a pavilion at the north end of the high place, located on the rockery white stone, such as fluttering wings to fly, full of momentum, and Zhihui also stopped here.

"Isn't that it?" Gao Yue was shocked, thinking that her master really had a fortune.

"Lang Jun admits his mistake, this is another business of the Cui Servant Shooting family, called 'Yuetang', which is said to be on par with the Yunhuitang of the former Prime Minister Yuan Zai's family. However, recently, Yang Juan has been on the road and strictly economized, but the whole family of Cui Fushu does not dare to come here to live and enjoy the tour. Zhi Hui pursed her lips and corrected, and then pointed in the other direction with her hand, "The master's other business is much smaller. ”

Gao Yue looked at the opposite side of the Moon Hall, and sure enough, a hundred steps away, there was a small (compared with the Moon Hall) Beiye located on the top of the slope pond, surrounded by forests on three sides, and facing the water on one side, but it was just an ordinary gate, not the aconitum gate of the official eunuch's house.

At this time, it was getting late, Zhi Hui knocked on the door, and several servants in Tsing Yi quickly walked out of it, and the group held honey candles in their hands, leading Gao Yue through the vestibule, and then through the side porch of the heavy door, and came to the middle hall.

Gao Yue stood in the middle hall, and Zhi Hui said that Lang Jun would not be treated, so he turned to the wing room behind the middle hall.

After Zhi Hui left, Gao Yue looked at the middle hall, although it was not as good as Ma Lan's mansion, nor as good as the moon hall that Cui Fu shot, but it was also considered to be Xuan Liang and magnificent, the curtain was bronzed, and the hanging plaque was written with the words "Red Peony Pavilion".

"Damn, rich people are powerful, such a big mansion can only be called a small pavilion." Gao Yue thought of Zhang Tan, who died in frustration and didn't even have funeral expenses, Wang Tuantuan, who was struggling to survive in Pingkangfang, and Liu Demu, who had been in Chang'an for more than ten years and had nothing to do, and couldn't help but sigh, "The rich and noble are really different." ”

At this time, he suddenly remembered that the old man said to himself during the day today, the fate of the imperial magpie and the people's magpie is very different, "Sure enough, people live for a lifetime, grass and trees for an autumn, how can you not pursue glory and wealth?" And now, alas, although I have crossed over, the door of wealth has been opened, but I am not allowed to enter the essentials, and I am really distressed. ”

Just as she was thinking about it, Zhi Hui had already changed into a pale yellow blouse and blue half-sleeves and walked over, "The master is waiting for you at the water pavilion at the slope pond, please come with me." ”

Gao Yue is getting more and more confused, since he has arrived here, it is better to follow Zhi Hui, it seems that she and her master have no malicious intentions.

Between the water pavilion and the middle hall, it is full of the water of the slope pond, and a zigzag bridge corridor is constructed on it, implicating two places.

The cold moon is rippling, Gao Yue is dressed in deep clothes, stepping on the wooden plank of the bridge corridor, looking at the water opposite, a square pavilion floats on it, stone lanterns are erected on all sides, and the candle flame behind the curtain is faint.

When we reached the end of the bridge, an older woman with a lantern ushered in usher, claiming to be the nanny of the Red Peony Pavilion, "It's none of your business here, let's go and fix the dishes." Zhihui took the lantern and whispered.

When Gao Yue arrived in front of the pavilion in the water, the breeze stirred the gauze curtain, and there were several Qi mats inside and outside the curtain, with a few silver lamps, and a woman sitting in it was writing something in front of the small case, and the Qibao agate cup was lying on the red satin, resting on the side of the woman.

"This, is it, the legendary affair! Isn't it the fox of Zhongnan Mountain or something? Gao Yue was surprised, and full of excitement, he wanted to be confused by the fox spirit when he was a child, but he didn't expect to add crossing when he grew up, and finally realized his long-cherished wish.

Zhihui invited Gao Yue to sit down outside the gauze curtain and stood by herself.

"Gao Langjun, don't come unharmed." Then the woman turned around and spoke.

Gao Yue on the banquet hurriedly rubbed back, through the hazy gauze curtain, the woman inside was not the female crown he had seen twice in Xingdaofang! It's just that there is no star-crowned feather coat, but it has been changed to the skirt of ordinary ladies, but the bun is still a simple Taoist bun, with a bun like a small horn on the top of the head, and then spread to the curvaceous waist like a long exercise.

"Refiner, Gao Langjun is here." Zhihui replied with her eyes down, and then stopped talking.

"Gao Langjun, don't come unharmed, you and I saw each other in the streets of Xingdaofang and Wubenfang, and saw each other for the second time in the bamboo garden of the Zhide Women's Crown, and at this moment it is considered the fourth meeting."

Gao Yue didn't hear it right, this time it was the third time.

The woman said, "Actually, after the first scene of the Spring Festival, I saw you in the street pavilion of the Zhide Women's Crown, which is the third time I have seen you." In addition, the time in Zhuyuan was because I was in the women's crown and it was inconvenient everywhere, so I had to avoid it after seeing Gao Langjun, don't blame. ”

It turns out that this woman has a hard time, not to blame.

But even greater mysteries came to Gao Yue's heart, how could this female crown be a monk and have her own mansion? It seems that she is very rich, and it is not difficult to spend 500 yuan to buy a Qibao agate cup.

When Gao Yue's eyes were fixed on the golden cup on the red satin, the woman also noticed, "This cup is the stuff of the late Zhongshu servant Lang Yuan Zaiyuan Gongfu, how did it get to Lang Jun's hands, can you give me advice?" ”

Gao Yue then told the ins and outs.

After the woman heard this, her eyes couldn't help but redden, "That's fine, after Gongfu's house was raided, there was nothing left, and only a little daughter was also confiscated into the court, but this Qibao Agate Cup was left in the dark, which can be regarded as an old man's thing." ”

"I don't know ...... alchemist"

The people of the Tang Dynasty respected the Taoist priest as a refiner, Gao Yue asked this, he really didn't know the identity of this woman: sometimes she was a female crown who lived in seclusion, and sometimes she was a charming lady, and now it seems that she still has a friendship with the former prime minister Yuan Zai who was executed?

When asked about this, the woman smiled sadly, "Gao Langjun, in fact, I was Yuan Zai's concubine Xue Yaoying before, and now I am the female crown, named Xin Ruo." ”

Alas, Yuan Zai's, Yuan Zai's concubine?

But?

"Yuan Gongfu had a premonition of today's situation, so he sent me to the Zhide Women's Crown half a year in advance, and transferred this red peony pavilion to my name as private property, the original intention was to let me spend the rest of my life safely, after all, I am just a concubine, not like his wife can live and die with him......" Speaking of this, Xue Yaoying gently raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, but soon she suddenly showed a frosty expression, and asked Gao Yue, "Is Lang Jun the first in this year's spring, or the second?" ”

"Next." Gao Yue hurriedly replied.

"Which one?"

"Essays and poems."

Xue Yaoying laughed instantly, and then went straight in, "In my opinion, as long as Lang Jun agrees to my conditions, he can guarantee Lang Jun's title on the gold list in the coming year, and then fade away from his deep clothes and linen clothes, and he will be in the clouds, and he will have endless glory." ”
