The female Mingfeng came to report: "Second Miss, Mr. Zhan, the doorman, asks to see you." ”

Lin Hanyun said happily: "They handed in the manuscript. After going out for a while, he came back, holding a stack of manuscript notes in his hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, Zhou Xuan, let's take a look at the wonderful essay that is 'untouchable', and choose the best one." ”

There are hundreds of customers in the Duhu Mansion, and there are dozens of people who can write, all of them participated in this essay contest, and Lin Hanyun promised to reward fifty taels of silver for the selected manuscript.

Zhou Xuan read a few articles, it turned out that there were really a lot of bullshit in this ancient literati, and he didn't see the name of "untouchable" in several articles, but the protagonist was an Yiren, writing about how the Yiren were beautiful, how they were radiant, how they admired, and vowed to pursue it-

Fairy Jingyi heard Zhou Xuanyi say and said with a smile: "This is a common problem of those sour and rotten scholars, and the beauty of Yiren means that crickets 'can't be touched', as for the pursuit of Yunyun, it's all cliché, just don't look at it." ”

Zhou Xuanbai laughed wildly and said, "Sister Daoyun, please choose it once, just make the text clear." ”

Lin Hanyun laughed like a silver bell, and said: "Wait a minute, I'll go and find out who wrote those articles, and then each of them will give a three-tailed female insect to comfort their lovesickness. ”

Fairy Jingyi couldn't help laughing, and quickly stopped, her sister didn't say it for fun, she would really do that.

I finally selected one to come out, this one is well written, sabre-rattling, and the heroism of the "untouchable" battle against the insects in Hongzhou is written, which is more sensational. It's infectious.

Lin Hanyun was quick to do things, and said: "I'll go to the doorman who writes well and write it overnight, and ask the carpenter to make a big board and frame it tomorrow morning." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Don't use paper, write with a zhang of yellow silk, it is not easy to break." ”

Lin Hanyun agreed, and went to handle it resolutely, which was very courageous to Deputy Director Lin.

As soon as Lin Hanyun left, Fairy Jingyi felt a little uncomfortable getting along with Zhou Xuan alone. said: "Zhou Gongzi." It's not too early. Please go back first, the female road will be waiting for you at Baiyun Temple tomorrow afternoon. ”

Zhou Xuan was stunned, he had come to the "Nine Tribulation Mountain House" many times, this was the first time that Fairy Jingyi had ordered the expulsion of guests, and he had gone back late at night before, although the Lin sisters didn't say anything, they could see that they were reluctant. Zhou Xuan is really a good friend, he talks funny, there are often strange talks, the lonely "Nine Difficult Mountain House" has him, he is immediately full of joy, as soon as he leaves, Lin Hanyun also goes back to the other courtyard, "Nine Difficult Mountain House" is lonely. But the cultivators have not cultivated to the point where their hearts are like wood and stone!

Fairy Jingyi looked a little embarrassed when she saw Zhou Xuan. Hurriedly said: "Hanyun is not here, so I will send you by the female way." "I personally held the lantern out of the courtyard door, crossed the side alley, walked through the 100-meter corridor to send Zhou Xuan to the outside of the West Gate, which is relatively open. The moonlight poured down, the sky above the ground was as bright as water, several ancient cypress trees cast jagged shadows, the autumn wind was blowing, and the shadows of the trees flowed like algae.

Zhou Xuan stood still, looked at the Jingyi Fairy, who was as light as the moon and as elegant as a chrysanthemum, and suddenly wanted to see her face very much, and said, "Sister Daoyun, will you not be able to see the road clearly in the veil this night?" ”

Fairy Jingyi saw that Zhou Xuan was standing here and didn't leave, so she didn't turn around and went back, saying, "The female Tao is used to it." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Why is there no moon in the night?" Where are there no pines and cypresses? But there are few idlers like me and Sister Daoyun. With a flick, he walked away, leaving Fairy Jingyi alone in a daze.

Zhou Xuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart: "Whoever asked you to give an eviction order, I will also tease you a little!" ”

*********************

Rui Chu is very hard to serve the teacher, early in the morning to find all ten maiko to come to the Zhou Mansion, are Pingkangfang figure, posture of the best Maiko, last night the wind came out, there were hundreds of Maiko to "Miao Yin Lou" to find Rui Chu, all want to enter the Zhou Mansion to dance, all said that as soon as they entered the Zhou Mansion, the value doubled, Rui Chu is the proof, she is now Zhou Qicha Gongzi Di Gao apprentice, come to the "Miao Yin Lou" to name Rui Chu to play the piano and sing the music of the local scholars have to line up, and the words are very polite, do not dare to be light.

Rui Chu spent a little time in the middle of the night to select ten beautiful and skilled maikos, and some of those unsuccessful maikos wept in public, begging Rui Chu to tell Zhou Qicha Gongzi again, they would rather not have silver than enter the Zhou Mansion to dance.

A group of flowery maiko flew into the Zhou Mansion like beautiful colorful butterflies, and went straight from the side alley to the fifth courtyard.

Mrs. Qin frowned and said, "What is he doing here, a virtuous son-in-law, he is also a prostitute and a maiko, isn't it a bit indulgent?" ”

Dr. Qin was more cheerful and understanding, and said: "Madam, don't forget your identity as a virtuous son-in-law, he is the prince of Australia, that is, those high-ranking officials and rich people nowadays, who is not a prostitute and a group of prostitutes?" When Xu Tingshi called me to collect the official document appointing Qi'er as an assistant teacher of the Jiangzhou Medical Department the day before yesterday, he said, Lord Qin, your son-in-law is a rich and noble person, and the official will have to rely on it a lot in the future-Xu Tingshi used to call me Lord Qin when he saw me, he was called Lao Qin, although he seemed close, but he was also inchious, like a servant, right, madam? ”

Mrs. Qin nodded, she also fully experienced this kind of warmth and coldness, thinking about the misery of the servant and maid ring almost gone, it was really unbearable, people are most afraid of this in old age, and now it is so prosperous and hot, isn't it all because of having a good son-in-law!

Suddenly remembering something, Mrs. Qin lowered her voice and said, "Master, last time the old woman asked Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang said that her uncle had already shared a room with Que'er, this-"

Dr. Qin twisted his beard and smiled: "They are already married, is it strange to live in the same room?" It's not good to stay alone, and the piano is not harmonious. ”

Mrs. Qin thought with relief: "According to Xiaoxiang, the virtuous son-in-law did not sleep with the needle, and it seems that the children are still courteous." ”

……

In the fifth courtyard, stretching the sleeves, showing the singing voice, the warbler Yanyan, and the fat fragrance sideburns.

Zhou Xuan sent someone to the "Cloud Dress Women's Clothing" to get the ten dresses, let the ten maiko wear them, and walked back and forth in Nana, telling them to have dignified expressions, not to make a fox appearance, and to be enchanting.

That being said, those maiko all announced their autumn waves to Zhou. Zhou Xuan was a little unbearable, Qin Que and Needle Ke were watching from the side, and the two little wives were a little jealous.

At this time, the servant woman came to report that Miss Lin Er had someone carry a large plaque, and Zhou Xuan entrusted the needle

Just practice these maiko and make them walk in a uniform manner.

When I came to the front yard, I saw a huge plaque one zhang long and five feet high, which was covered with yellow silk, and the pen on the yellow silk was full of ink and wrote a "I can't touch the record of Hongzhou winning the championship". The land is written in the style of Wang Xi's trip. Handsome and beautiful. Everyone has a big cup and is very eye-catching.

Zhou Xuan praised: "Very good, Deputy Director Lin is very capable, I will credit you." ”

Lin Hanyun said proudly: "The silver you won in Hongzhou hasn't been distributed to me yet, don't think I'll forget, and the fifty taels of silver to write this article will also be given to me." The doorman chased after me. ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "The dividends will have to wait until the end of the year, how can you earn a little bit and divide it, I will give you the fifty taels of silver, Laifu, give the silver." ”

Liao Yin invited a local drummer to also arrive, sheng, flute, flute, drums, cymbals, all played by men, the picture is loud and lively.

Zhou Xuan hired an ox cart to place a giant plaque. Two strong men support. The other two canopy ox carts sat in a group of drummers, blowing and beating, and began to parade through the streets. Liao Yin and the four idiots followed, and Xiaodi was carried by Laifu to watch the excitement.

The city is a sensation, Hongzhou people look down on Jiangzhou people, Jiangzhou people are even more unaccustomed to Hongzhou people, I heard that our Jiangzhou crickets won the championship in Hongzhou, that is really eyebrows, men and women followed a lot, blocked streets, 10,000 empty alleys, "can't touch" became the insect hero, Jiangzhou other three insect clubs immediately proposed to hold a challenge in the near future, by the three major insect societies of each Chongyang insect war champion in turn to challenge "can't touch", welcome insect friends to gamble.

These things are handed over to Liao Yin and the four idiots to do, the four idiots love to do this thing the most, and they don't care about the upcoming tea fight, I don't know if it's gratifying to win and lose, or do they think they have the certainty of winning?

In the afternoon, Lin Hanyun took the old Dong car to ask Zhou Xuan to go to the West Gate Baiyun Temple together, and the annoyance was that the three idiots also followed, Zhou Xuan said that he didn't need his protection to let him stay in the house, and the three idiots were unaware and followed him.

Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "Just follow, I used to go to the Duhu Mansion and the three idiots also followed, knowing that I was going to learn tea ceremony from Fairy Jingyi, but he didn't seem to mention it to the four idiots." ”

Five miles out of the West Gate, a shallow stream flows from west to east, there is a wooden plank bridge on the stream, and when the carriage passes over the bridge, the board bridge "crunks" sound.

Baiyun Temple is on the southwest side of the creek, back to the mountain and facing the stream, the scenery is quiet, the yellow wall is around, and the palace view inside the wall is high and steep.

Baiyun Temple can be said to be the private property of the Lin family, and the owner is the Jingyi Fairy and Lin Hanyun's aunt, who is also a monk after widowhood.

There are hundreds of precious magnolia plants planted in front of the gate of Baiyun Temple, the tree shape is magnificent, lush, although it is not the flowering period now, but there is no dark fragrance floating, Lin Hanyun said that Baiyun Temple has more than 100 years, but these magnolias are longer, when the flowers bloom in spring, such as clouds and snow, it is like the clouds and mist of Lushan Mountain in the distance to stay here, so this Taoist temple is called Baiyun Temple.

Two female Taoist children came to answer the door, entered the mountain gate hall, there were green dragons and white tigers on both sides, Zhou Xuan let the three idiots wait in the mountain gate hall, he and Lin Hanyun followed the female Taoist boy through the Lingguan Palace, bypassed the Sanqing Hall from the side, and came to a Qingya single courtyard, arranged as the "Nine Difficult Mountain House" in the Duhu Mansion, not only the Jingyi fairy came, but also the two maids of Jianyue and Mingfeng.

Entering the tearoom and sitting down, Fairy Jingyi asked the two maids to take out ten teacups, which looked exactly the same on the surface, but if you looked closely at the pattern of the tea drinker painted on the outside of the tea cup, you will see that the tea drinker raised ten fingers on the left and right in turn.

Fairy Jingyi said: "Zhou Gongzi please remember that when you distinguish water, when you see a tea cup with the thumb of your left hand, it is the spring water of the Lugu Valley curtain in spring; When you see that it is the thumb of the right hand, it is the spring water of the valley curtain after the snow; The index finger of the left hand is the spring water of Lushan Zhaoyin in spring; The index finger of the right hand is the hidden spring water after the white dew; The middle finger of the left hand is Wuxi Huishan Stone Spring; The middle finger of the right hand is the state Lanxi Spring; The ring finger of the left hand is the 6 feather springs of Shinshu; The ring finger of the right hand is Guangling Shugang Peak Spring; The little finger of the left hand is the water of the Xunyang River; The little finger of the right hand is the stream in front of the Baiyun Temple. ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "How can Sister Daoyun have such a set of tea cups, it is simply specially used for tea fighting." ”

Fairy Jingyi smiled and said, "Don't be mistaken, the female Dao will say it again-"

Zhou Xuan has a good memory, he concentrates on memorization, and Fairy Jingyi remembers it firmly after saying it twice.

Lin Hanyun giggled on the side: "This time, I'm going to let that four idiots - no, let Mr. Fourth make a big mistake." ”

Zhou Xuan told Lin Hanyun not to talk about the four idiots in front of her sister, so as not to surprise her.

Zhou Xuan said: "I will win the water discernment, but what about the other eight difficulties, I must always overcome the five difficulties among the nine difficulties." ”

Fairy Jingyi said: "Since the fourth gentleman said that he would not bring his own tea set, then the first three difficulties and one making, two farewells, and three utensils are nothing to compare, that is, more difficult than the last five, you only need to win three games, and then the female Tao will pretend to be your maid to help you make tea, which is not a violation of the rules, and it is very common to use tea boys and maids to fight tea, so that the female Tao can help you win him in the four fires, six burns, seven ends, and eight boils, and you are invincible in five waters. ”

Zhou Xuan heard that Fairy Jingyi was going to pretend to be his maid, and his heart really fluttered, and he said with a smile: "Win all nine games, Mr. Fourth has to be annoyed and angry, Sister Daoyun still let him win one or two games." After thinking about it: "No, if this fourth gentleman fakes a shot, he actually brought his own tea set, then I will lose the first three games!" ”

Lin Hanyun said: "No, I don't think that Mr. Fourth is as treacherous as you." ”

Fairy Jingyi reproached Lin Sunyun and said to Zhou Xuan: "Zhou Gongzi is thoughtful and thinks about it correctly, this has to be prevented, but the first three difficulties are not good to cheat, because we can't know what tea sets and tea leaves Mr. Fourth brought, so it is difficult for us to win these three games, and the water should not be brought, don't worry about this, when the time comes, Zhou Gongzi pays more attention to the gestures of the female Tao, and the female Taoist will teach you to fight the ninth difficulty - 'drinking', what tea cup will be what kind of tea, you have to remember, don't mix it up." ”
