Hong Yu had already chased south, preparing to find Luo Qing's son and his party and secretly protect them. Wang Yi and the others are also old rivers and lakes, and they did not return to Cangzhou, but ran directly to the border of Henan, preparing to make a big bend.

Hong Yu and others, who set off at the latest, did not find Wang Yi and his party, but found the family who went to chase and kill Wang Yi, Zhuang Ke. In the secret tracking, it was found that this host family was not small, because they did not live in a hotel, but lived in the properties of several businesses.

On the one hand, the specific whereabouts have not yet been found, and on the other hand, the children cannot travel for a long time, and the distance between the two sides is slowly approaching.

On September 18, the end of October in the Gregorian calendar, light snow began to fall around the capital, and the first snow of this year was smaller than usual, but overnight, a thin layer of snow accumulated on the roofs and trees. After the discussion between some princes and nobles and some well-known poetry societies in the capital, a garden party was planned to be held in Suzhuang in the southern suburbs of the capital on September 19.

Suzhuang is the property of a big official in the Yingzong Dynasty, and after the restoration of Yingzong, it was liquidated by the mistake of standing in line, and this big courtyard has no owner. What is very interesting about Suzhuang is that it is not completely enclosed, only surrounded by walls on three sides, and there is a large bamboo forest on the west side, and the three paths through the bamboo forest are a lake of several hundred acres. There are the most bamboo and plum blossoms in Suzhuang, but unfortunately the plum blossoms have not yet reached the time of blooming.

The three friends of the year and the cold occupy two here, so after it becomes a park, a large number of literati and scholars will gather here every winter to cook wine and enjoy the scenery and express their feelings. There are many young talents among the literati, which attracts a lot of young ladies to come to play, and by the way, observe whether there are any qualified people.

In just a few decades, there have been many good things for talented and beautiful people to eventually become married, so every winter, more and more people come. There is also a bedroom and living room in the east of Suzhuang, and those who are still unsatisfied will also choose to live here, anyway, it is convenient to be cleaned here all year round.

Today's garden party, Zhu Houzhao's brothers also came, and it was Zhu Xiuning who came to organize it, first pulling his sister-in-law Bai Yulian to talk bad and persuade one, and then Bai Yulian went to persuade Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Xiuning himself pulled the talkative Zhu Houwei into the gang, so they all came.

Early in the morning, Zhu Houwei had just finished a set of punches, and before he had time to rest for a while, he was urged by Zhu Xiuning to quickly get into the carriage. Zhu Houwei got into the carriage, and Zhu Houzhao and his wife were playing chess.

Zhu Houzhao frowned, and said without raising his head, "It's here." Zhu Houwei looked at it, the eldest brother Zhu Houzhao was already fighting the trapped beast, and failure was not far away. Both brothers are stinky chess baskets, but when they are watching, Zhuge is alive, and you can know the situation with a little look, and both brothers have a problem that people look down on. I saw Zhu Houzhao sit up straight, turned around, faced Zhu Houwei, and said casually, "Well, it's best to walk around today with few people, don't let people recognize you." Zhu Xiuning looked disdainful, "If you can't afford to lose, you can't afford to lose, what kind of topic," Bai Yulian smiled and was cleaning up the table. Zhu Houwei shook his head helplessly, "Big brother, when will you be able to change this problem?" Zhu Houzhao was angry, "You still have the face to say me, aren't you the same, you won't be able to play if you lose." Zhu Houwei smiled and said, "So I don't play chess easily, if I want to play, I will play with you, then I can't lose." ”

Zhu Houzhao pointed at his younger brother with his finger, "Don't be ashamed, let's fight three hundred rounds now." Zhu Houwei sneered: "I'm not available." Zhu Houzhao was a little depressed, so he turned his head to look at his sister and asked sternly, "Girl, I came to knock on the door before dawn today, and said, do you want to pick a horse lang earlier, and tell you that if you win, you will pass my level." Zhu Xiuning looked distracted, took Bai Yulian's hand, and said coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, look at the eldest brother." Bai Yulian also smiled and patted Zhu Houzhao's arm, "What nonsense?" How old is our Xiuning, how could we think about this. Zhu Houwei said next to him, "Girl, don't listen to the eldest brother, whoever you fancy just say, when the time comes, the mother will agree, and the eldest brother will not be able to interject." "It turned out that Zhu Xiuning screwed him." Zhu Houwei said helplessly, "Girl, who did you learn from, I don't know if you have studied martial arts, you have great strength, this is too painful." I warn you, this trick can be used against the colt in the future, and if it makes you unhappy, you can use as much force as you want. But you can't use it on me, as for the big brother, it's up to you. Angering the two of them, Zhu Xiuning twisted a piece of Zhu Houwei's meat and rotated it three hundred and sixty degrees, Zhu Houzhao cheered on the side, "Girl, use as much strength as you can, don't keep your strength." Zhu Houwei surrendered, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about it." Only then did Zhu Xiuning let go of the second brother and threw herself into her sister-in-law's arms for comfort.

In the midst of the fighting and noisy all the way, everyone came to Suzhuang. The carriage entered the side gate directly and came to the west courtyard of Suzhuang, and it was not far from the bamboo forest. Get out of the carriage, good fellow, the huge yard is basically full of carriages, all of them are four-wheeled luxury carriages. Zhu Houwei smiled at that time, there is only one car in Daming, and the business of the car and horse shop is prosperous, and Zhu Houwei, an entrepreneur, is very satisfied.

There were a lot of people here, but there was not much noise in the yard, and it looked like the people who stayed here were all grooms, handlebar style. Zhu Houzhao and his entourage saw Zhang Liyuan's eldest cousin, who was already waiting there. Zhang Liyuan walked a few steps quickly, came to him, arched his hand, and said with a smile, "I've seen a few nobles." Zhu Houzhao shook his hand, "Cousin, don't be polite." ”

Today's Zhang Liyuan has changed a little from before, and the original image of the old master is a little more sleek. After Zhu Houwei and his second uncle founded a decoration company, Zhang Liyuan was entered as a representative of the Hou Mansion. Over the past few years, I have learned a lot of shopping mall experience, and people have changed a lot. The original unfavored concubine gradually won the treatment of his uncle, but Zhang Liyuan did not like this kind of life, and now he took his younger brother, that is, his father's eldest son, to start getting familiar with the business. I plan to hand over all of them this year or next year and go to Chaoyang Academy to teach. As a concubine, no matter how hard he works, he won't get much in the future, not to mention that he doesn't like the shopping mall.

Liu Jin and Huang Gonggong went to the Suzhuang wing room to rest, where there were many housekeepers and old servants of high-ranking officials and nobles, and the party in the bamboo forest was a gathering of young people, and everyone was customary. Zhu Houzhao and his entourage took a few maids, and Shi Shiran entered the bamboo forest.

From a distance, a lot of snow has accumulated on the bamboo leaves, but when you enter the bamboo forest, you will find that there is no trace of snow on the ground at all. It seems that God just puts a white coat on the bamboo forest, and does not have such a preference for others.

The main venue is not here, but deep in the bamboo forest, near the lake. Walking on the path, from time to time you will meet some people dressed as Confucian scholars, in groups of three or five, walking or stopping, chanting poems, or quietly enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao and his entourage either nodding or bowing, it was not an acquaintance, but a gathering of literati and scholars here, and they couldn't lose their courtesy. Brother Zhu Houzhao is also in a good mood, and they are also a return gift. These people don't say anything else, the quality is absolutely high, Bai Yulian's appearance is absolutely nothing to say, since getting married, the original wheat-colored skin has slowly turned white, and she has stepped into the ranks of top beauties. The little girl also began to be slim and beautiful. Several maids were delicate and cute, but none of them paid much attention, and after glancing at them, they stopped looking at them with admiration in their eyes.

After walking for a distance, I finally came to the main venue. This is a Han and Tang style building, all wooden structure, and the simple carvings on the main railing appear elegant and quiet. A plaque was hung on the east side, on which was written the three words "Listening to the Wind Pavilion", the calligraphy was freehand and chic, which made people feel refreshed and happy, and then looked at the person who carried the pen, but it was the famous genius Xie Jin in the early stage of the opening dynasty.

Tingfeng Pavilion occupies a large area, Zhu Houwei estimated, at least fifty meters long, and about the same width. It is divided into two floors. The group went up the stairs and walked five meters inside to the room. There are no walls, but bamboo curtains hang on them, which hang down to the ground as soon as they are lowered. Looking inside, the bamboo curtains on three sides were lowered, except for the one facing the lake to the west.

took off his shoes, and after everyone entered, Zhu Xiuning pulled Zhu Houwei and went directly to the second floor bypassing the chattering crowd. There are no bamboo curtains here, so there are fewer people. A few people leaned on the railing, looking into the distance, the lake was sparkling, once the wind blew, the lake surface formed layers of waves, the wind chimes installed on the second floor of the listening wind pavilion also jingled and sounded a pleasant bell, some sparse snowflakes drifted down the distant scenery was a little unreal, hazy and hazy people fell into their own fantasy world.
