Chapter 231: Morning Mist, Morning Dance
Manager Fang led the way, and the three of them bypassed a covered bridge and arrived in the inner courtyard.
After Hong Fatzi left, the pattern of this mansion has changed a little, and the back garden has expanded a lot. In the courtyard, some new attics have also been built. Heh, if it weren't for Manager Fang, oh no, now I should have asked Manager Li to lead the way, maybe Lu Heng's master and servant might really get lost.
After walking across an arched bridge across the lake, you will arrive outside the back garden of Lord Fu Yin.
Passing through the archway, you will be greeted by an open courtyard.
The square courtyard is paved with neat stone slabs on the ground, and it looks exceptionally clean. The courtyard was surrounded by trees. And between the trees, there are some shelves. There are knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes and forks, everything.
In the center of the quadrangular courtyard, there is a gorgeous red carpet. On the stall, several women in tulle were dancing.
At this time, it was already a cold winter of December. Although the weather in Jiangning is not as good as in the north, after sitting in this courtyard for a long time, you will still feel a chill.
Looking at the women wearing tulle and slightly revealing their skin, their pretty faces were red from the cold, Lu Heng couldn't help but stop and frowned.
"Damn it, Dog Officer!" Beside him, Ah Gui glanced at it, who was sitting on a chair, sipping tea, eating fruits, and watching the dance, Lord Yin spitted a mouthful of saliva fiercely and said in a low voice.
Agui is a Miao native, born poor. The villagers in the village have to work hard for a long time for a meal. At this time, looking at this corrupt official, wrapped in such a luxurious life, Agui suddenly became angry.
At this time, Manager Li had already walked in and whispered in the ear of Master Yin. Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Lu Heng and the others at the door.
After saying that, I saw Fu Yin, who was about fifty years old and already had a wrinkled face, raised his head, and after glancing at Lu Heng, he actually stood up and walked over to this side.
"Haha, Lu Gongzi is here in the cold house, and he is shining!" Wei Fuyin laughed as he walked. After walking in front of Lu Heng, he arched his hand and said to Lu Heng.
Only, although the words are very eager. However, the occasional flash of light in those triangular eyes made Lu Heng feel that this person was really hypocritical.
"Hehe, Lord Wei is polite!" Lu Heng returned the salute with a fist, smiled slightly, pointed to the luxurious courtyard around him, shrugged his shoulders, and said to Wei Jian: "If this mansion is a cold house, then those who live in it can only use a thatched hut!" ”
Speaking of the humble house, it is a sentence of modesty. Unexpectedly, this scholar was so serious and caught this slip of the tongue. A little bit of a loss to him.
"I've heard people say that Gongzi is the first talent in Jiangning, and his words are quite interesting. When I see it today, Childe is really a wonderful person! The muscles on Wei Jian's face trembled, and he said to Lu Heng with a fist in a fake way.
"Lu Gongzi, please come in!" Wei Jian got out of the way, pointed to the courtyard behind him with one hand, and said to Lu Heng with a smile.
"Lord Wei, please!" Lu Heng hugged his fists and smiled faintly, without modesty, with his hands behind his back, he walked straight in.
Hmph, what a madman!
Behind him, Wei Jian thought that he was going to be humble, but he didn't expect this scholar to be so arrogant. He didn't even look at himself, and just walked in.
Hehe, it's just, do you think this yard is so easy to enter?
Wei Jian stared at the back of the scholar in front of him, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. Turning his head, he nodded to a spy in the woods in the distance, then he threw off his sleeves and stepped inside.
Walking on the carpet, the two of them clasped their hands into fists, humbly conceded, and sat down one after another.
Wei Jian summoned his subordinates, replaced it with a new pot of tea, and finally served some preserved fruits that were extremely precious in this winter.
"Master Lu, please!" Wei Jian picked up the teacup and smiled at Lu Heng.
"Your Excellency, please!" Lu Heng smiled, picked up the teacup, and glanced at Wei Jian.
The two looked at each other and smiled, pecked lightly, and put it down.
Then, Wei Jian stretched out his palm and slapped it twice in the air. The musicians on the side began to play.
Just, this tune!
When Lu Heng heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
"Hold you in your hands, and burn incense devoutly......"
It's still the offering of love, but the voice sounds so poignant. The mournful tone makes people can't help but feel soft.
This is...... Lu Heng raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice sounded.
In the dancing of the women, a beautiful and haggard figure appeared in Lu Heng's sight.
The woman came with the pipa in her arms. She played the pipa lightly with her fingers, her expression was sad, and she couldn't help but realize that tears were already flashing in her eyes.
This woman, Lu Heng remembered. It used to be the woman in the green dress standing next to Ni Xiang.
At that time, when I saw this woman for the first time, although there was a hint of worry on the corners of her eyebrows. But at that time, she was still plump.
Now, it is like a yellow flower in autumn, dry and haggard. It was as if a gust of wind could take her away.
After leaving Fang March, Jiangning has been several years!
Looking at the woman in front of her, her description has changed dramatically. Lu Heng didn't know what it was like, and after taking a sip of the teacup, he sighed faintly.
"What does Lu Gongzi think?" Wei Jian took a sip of tea, and then threw a date into his mouth. While chewing, he looked at these women with great interest, turned his head, and asked Lu Hengdao.
"When the weather is cold, no matter how delicate the flowers are, they will wither. Next spring is the best season for full bloom. What do adults think? Lu Heng's face remained unchanged, he smiled slightly, turned his head, and looked at Wei Jiandao.
The women must have been dancing for a long time.
Today, it's already drenched in sweat. Jiao gasped.
Moreover, it was very cold outside. From time to time, the wind blows, and the women in thin light gauze are like flowers trembling in the autumn wind, which makes people a little unbearable.
After hearing Lu Heng's words, Wei Jian was stunned for a moment.
However, after reacting later, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Applauded and said: "Haha, I can't imagine that Lu Gongzi is also a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade!" ”
"That's so!" Wei Jian smiled and glanced at the women. He waved his hand and said, "In that case, go down!" ”
"Master Xie, Master Xie!" As if they had been pardoned, the women hurriedly bowed down and saluted the two.
And the green group of women holding the pipa looked at Lu Heng sitting on it a little sluggishly. I wanted to open my mouth, but my throat felt like something was stuck, and I couldn't speak.
The crowd dispersed, but she was the only one standing on the spot.
The cold wind blew, and the green dress on her body, like the last touch of green in late autumn, swayed on the branches, as if it might fall down at any time.
"Not yet?" Seeing the displeasure on Lord Fu Yin's face, Manager Li hurriedly went over and reprimanded the woman in the green dress.
At the same time, he made a secret look at her. Hurry down, or this old thing will be in trouble again in a while.
Hearing the voice of the chief steward, the woman in the green dress woke up. Hurriedly hugged the pipa, picked up the skirt with one hand, and was about to leave.
However, it seems that the body is too weak, and it has been blowing in this cold wind for a long time. With this step, I suddenly felt soft under my feet and black in front of my eyes.
Suddenly, the body fell down involuntarily.
With a bang, the pipa in his hand burst up and flew to Lu Heng's feet.
With a bang, the strings of the pipa snapped and broke. The lute, as if it had lost its soul, spun in place.
"Slut! Dare to disturb the guests of this house, damn it! Wei Jian seemed to be looking for fault today, and saw the woman faint on the ground, and the pipa in her hand rolled down.
suddenly burst out, grabbed the teapot in his hand, and was about to smash it at the woman's body.
As soon as I grabbed the teapot, before I could raise my hand, I felt someone hold down my palm.
Wei Jian turned his head and glanced down, and sure enough, his palm was being pressed by a palm.
raised his head and looked at Lu Heng with an indifferent face.
Wei Jian's face changed a few times, and he asked in a deep voice, "Young Master Lu, what do you mean by this?" ”
Lu Heng didn't let go of his hand, just smiled slightly, a smile flashed in his eyes, and looked at Wei Jian, who had an unkind face in front of him.
"Flowers are reopened, and no one is young! The girl is like a flower like jade, my lord, how can she do that spicy thing to destroy flowers? "The voice was calm, but deep enough. Between the words, there are comforts, exhortations, and even strong warnings.
Of course, Wei Jian heard the meaning of Lu Heng's words, and looked at Lu Heng's look that seemed to be smiling. Wei Jian's eyelids jumped, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.
Don't you know that this person is now a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?
How dare you be so presumptuous!
Oh, for the sake of a Qinglou woman, he tore his face like this, this person is really ignorant!
It seems that Lu Heng, the first genius in Jiangning, who is known as a god and a ghost, is in vain, but Er'er.
Just a prodigal son who is greedy and lustful!
That's it, that's it. Let him be in a position of prestige for the time being.
Anyway, there's not much time left!
Wei Jian stared at Lu Heng for a long time, and secretly calculated in his heart the time when Sasaki and the others would arrive. Finally, the hand holding the teapot slowly loosened.
At this time, Lu Heng's hand also loosened.
The two looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Flowers are reopened, and no one is young." Wei Jian first repeated this sentence, and then stroked his beard and said: "Gongzi is talented, this mansion admires!" ”
"Oh, my lord is in love!" Lu Heng looked at Wei Jian with a smile, stretched out his hand, waved his hand at the woman who woke up quietly, and asked her to retreat first: "Girl, go down!" ”
The cold wind swept by, and around the courtyard, the dry branches made a whining sound. Occasionally, the remaining fallen leaves on the trees, blown down by the wind, swirled rapidly, and grunted along the courtyard wall.
On the weapon rack between the trunks, the knives and guns were blown by the wind and let out bursts of soft screams, and under the sun, the cold light of the knives and guns flickered!
