Chapter 179: Nian Guan Gives Gifts

Regardless of the north and south, the world is big, and the Chinese New Year is the biggest.

After recuperating for a while in the Grange of the Rujian River, it finally came to the end of the year.

After Sun Youlin, Ashiya Haruko and others got better, they often went out to find out the news, whether it was foreigners, the government, or even the people from the Dragon Chamber of Commerce, they were all searching for and hunting down Chen Mu and others.

Of course, the legendary story of Lu Shengwu's divine fighting technique has spread all over the place early, and even the whole of Lingnan has become a sensation, and even the churches of foreigners have sent priests from the judgment office to investigate the truth.

People from all over Lingnan came here, and the Tianhou Temple became a holy place, and some people even wanted to pay to rebuild this dilapidated temple.

Although this is not a glorious thing, but after all, it has become the focus, the saltwater girl lives in the Tianhou Palace, which somewhat affects the reputation, plus the turtle prince is everywhere, the government finally relented, and finally let the saltwater girls move out of the Tianhou Palace, and the gentry and local tyrants funded and built a water village.

When these people came to visit, Shenda didn't have too many eyebrows, but it made the salty water girl dizzy, and the water village soon became lively, even more lively than before.

However, these are all side matters, and Chen Mu doesn't pay too much attention to them.

Xu is Qingchang fulfilled the agreement, and Xu is the New Year, the officers and soldiers are also lazy, the pursuit of the government is a lot more relaxed, the Dragon Chamber of Commerce has been secretly investigating, and they dare not make a noise, and now the only ones who are fighting in the open fire are foreigners.

These foreigners walked through the streets and alleys, often making a lot of noise, and the people were very disgusted, and every day they found some old people and old scholars in the countryside to go to the yamen to complain, and the pressure on the foreigners was also very great.

I heard that the terms of the agreement with the foreigners have also been announced, the foreigners have no warships, and they have no confidence, the court has been tough, and the foreigners have not asked for too many benefits, for this matter, Qingchang also recorded a credit, it is said that Beijing intends to let him go north, and now he is also a red man.

These are all the news that Sun Youlin and others inquired about, and Chen Mu remembered them one by one, but he didn't intervene too much, he was unintentional and powerless, and the most important thing at present was to seize the time to heal.

After all, hiding here is by no means a long-term solution, although it is dark under the lights, the more dangerous the place, the safer, but as the scope of search and pursuit becomes larger and larger, the enemies who return in vain will definitely reconsider and divide the range, and then it will be troublesome.

It's bustling outside, but the days still have to pass, and the year has to pass.

Luo Jianhe has been an official for many years, and he is the uncle of the West Pavilion, with strong financial resources, he can't be sloppy during the New Year, and he is very thoughtful in all manners.

On this day, the weather was just right, Chen Mu was practicing in the room, and Luo Jianhe came up and said to Chen Mu: "Second Shao, there is a rule in Hongshun Hall, the first couplet is written by the incense master, and now that the incense master is gone, you will write it." ”

For Chen Mu, it is not a problem to write couplets, whether it is content or calligraphy, Chen Mu is the best of the best, after all, he is also a ten-year cold window.

But what matters is the meaning behind this couplet!

Luo Jianhe said very frankly, just like a human being, without any beating around the bush, I respect you as the young master, and I will assist you to take over Hong Shuntang, the name is right, this couplet should be written by you Chen Mu, the most basic role positioning, must be clear.

Chen Mu was not polite, and followed Luo Jianhe to the lobby, only to find that Lin Sheng, Lu Shengwu and others were also there, and even Lin Fucheng came over to join in the fun.

Chen Mu thought that there was only Luo Jianhe, but he didn't expect that Lian Lin Fucheng would come, this is a generation of grandmasters, how can he show off in front of him?

What's more, now that he already knows that Lin Sheng is the white paper fan of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce, the actual person in power is his own master, and Lu Shengwu is his master, where can he write it himself?

However, this was only a short-term thought, it was just a sincere fear in his heart, and Chen Mu quickly figured it out.

This matter must be taken seriously, because Hong Shuntang must be taken over by him, not these people present.

Since they can come to cheer, they should know about it, and Chen Mu will not twist it.

The red paper had already been laid out in the river, and the inkstone pond was also ready, Chen Mu nodded to everyone, said a few words of greeting, and was humble, in the end, he came to the front of the long case.

Chen Mu reads a lot of books, and they are also very miscellaneous, but after all, he is a reader, although the couplet is not a compulsory course, but it is also the main way to show his talent, and Chen Mu is not left behind.

After thinking about it, Chen Mu looked at everyone, then took a light breath and wrote quickly.

Although he is not very old, Chen Mu picked up the pen, but his bearing was not ordinary, and even holding the pen was more imposing than holding a knife.

Chen Mu's calligraphy is atmospheric, but with the unique heroic and free and easy of the Chen family, iron painting silver hook, elegant and domineering, vigorous as a dragon, through the back of the paper, is also a wave, full of paper clouds.

This is the first time that Luo Jianhe and others have seen Chen Mu's reading skills, just looking at his writing posture, they know that Chen Mu reads and works hard with him to practice martial arts.

But it can be seen that the union is: "one pair of two tables and three points".

The next link is: "Four Seas and Five Lakes Group Speech Hall".

Neat and clean, the words are ordinary and simple, but the artistic conception is lofty and majestic, which is really rare!

The moral here shows Chen Mu's posture even more, and it also makes people nod their heads in approval.

Luo Jianhe asked him to write a couplet, which was to recognize Chen Mu's identity and status, and Chen Mu was not arrogant.

This pair of two tables and three points is talking about Zhuge Liang, and Chen Mu's use here is equivalent to treating Luo Jianhe as an assistant to his military advisor.

Zhuge Liang's status and role in Shu are beyond doubt, and Luo Jianhe is now also an assistant to the young master, a legitimate theme!

And the Four Seas and Five Lakes Qunyan Hall also showed Chen Mu's own attitude, and everyone present had already stood up and felt it, which was very appropriate.

As soon as this couplet came out, everyone's hearts were also warm, although Chen Mu was a scholar, and it was not difficult to write couplets at all, but it was able to be used so appropriately, which also showed Chen Mu's intentions.

"Good! Good word! Good union! Lin Fucheng traveled south and north in his early years, and also caused a lot of trouble, and his reading cultivation was indeed a little lacking, but when he got old, his mind changed, and he was hidden, and he often wrote and painted.

Seeing Chen Mu's couplet, Lin Fucheng appreciated it from the bottom of his heart, Chen Mu just smiled humbly and looked at the Rujian River, and the two of them also understood.

From the beginning of the inseparability between friend and foe, and even causing all kinds of trouble to Chen Mu, to now wholeheartedly supporting Chen Mu, this road is too difficult.

The people around Chen Mu seem to be like this, they never bow their heads and worship simply, every partner is what he strives for with sincerity and long-term patience, such a relationship can not be moved by interests, and can live and die together!

After writing the main couplet, Chen Mu asked Lin Fucheng and Lin Sheng, as well as Lu Shengwu and others, to write couplets each.

The grange in the Rujian River is very large, there are many houses, and everyone is itching for a while, and they have their own merits.

What is eye-catching is that Haruko Ashiya also writes well, which makes Chen Mu impressed with her.

This female thief has always been a murderous image without blinking, but I didn't expect to have such an elegant side.

A group of people who shouted and shouted to kill in Pingsuri are now gathered together, drinking hot tea and writing couplets, which is really a bit trance-like.

The tenants in the grange also came to ask for couplets according to the usual practice, but Luo Jianhe did not let them in as in previous years, after all, the identities and whereabouts of Chen Mu and the others could not be revealed.

However, this year, in addition to the couplets, Luo Jianhe also gave them a lot of New Year's gifts, which can be regarded as a great joy.

In the afternoon, everyone went back to rest, but Luo Jianhe lowered his voice and said to Chen Mu: "Young master, I have a gift for you, and come with me." ”

Chen Mu was also surprised, there is no shortage of food and drink here, in addition to the old mother, there are also many young maids who can call, and Luo Jianhe is now going to give gifts again, Chen Mu wanted to excuse himself, but when he heard his tone was wrong, he followed.

Luo Jianhe came to the grass house at the foot of the mountain, and walked halfway up the mountain.

Chen Mu has been here before, but he has not had the opportunity to go up the mountain, and he has only seen the scenery on the mountain at this time, which is really fresh.

Halfway up the mountain, you will see a lot of tombs, built with stones, but they are all dilapidated, and no one has been sweeping the tombs for many years.

"It's not auspicious to bring me to this kind of place for the Chinese New Year......" Chen Mu also teased.

Luo Jianhe replied seriously: "You will know when you see it." ”

Chen Mu didn't say more, followed for a while, and arrived at a big tomb.

I don't know if this big tomb is built with lime or what, the whole is a strange gray-white color, covering a wide area, and there is a grass house in front of the tomb.

followed the Rujian River into the grass house, but there was no dust and musty smell that came into his nose, which made Chen Mu a little surprised.

This shows that the cottage is not idle and deserted, at least in the recent past, it is very popular!

The grass hut is very small, and the road is clear, there is only a small bed, next to it is a small water tank, and there is nothing else.

"What kind of gift is this...... Chen Mu was even more confused.

However, Luo Jianhe was not sloppy, walked to the small water tank, bent down to move the water tank, and exposed a hand rod, Luo Jianhe shook the hand rod hard, the small bed was rumbling and muffled, and the end of the bed continued to rise, revealing the black and secluded hole entrance!

"It turns out that there is no cave!"

Chen Mu was also nervous, this grass house has an underground entrance, and the only way to it is this tomb, right?

At the thought of drilling the tomb for the New Year, Chen Mu also felt unlucky, but since Luo Jianhe could bring him here and said that it was a big gift, he would definitely not disappoint Chen Mu.

Luo Jianhe lit the lantern, put it in the lantern, led the way in front, led Chen Mu down the hole, walked about dozens of steps along the low passage, and the front suddenly opened up.

Chen Mu was a young man after all, and he was very nervous when he entered the tomb, but he soon relaxed.

Because he smelled a smell of drowning!

That's telling!

Chen Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he had some conjectures in his heart about this great gift, so he looked forward to it even more!
