The promenade twists and turns between the flowers and trees pavilions, bypasses Xiaomei Mountain, the water vapor is full of nose, this is the water of the Pang Gong Pond that is drawn from the garden, the promenade crosses the water and becomes a bridge, the heavy rain falls on the surface of the pool, the countless small puddles that are hit by the rain are extinguished with the bloom, and the dark night can not be seen clearly, just imagine, listen, the small sound of the rain falling on the water surface and the sound of hitting the lotus leaves converge into a dense natural sound - in the sound of water vapor and rain, Zhang Yuan said: "Brother Xiuwei, please see, the pools on both sides of this corridor are planted with lotus, and then there is more than a month, the lotus flowers open, from the corridor, Not only is the eyes full of green lotus and red buds, but the lotus fragrance is even more refreshing. ”

Xie Gardener is a lively person, listening to Zhang Yuan say this, he put the lantern in his hand to the side high, Wang Wei borrowed this lantern to look out, only to see the white raindrops densely sprinkled, the round lotus leaf is not green at this time, but ink color, ink freehand painting is what Wang Wei is good at, heart said: "The ink lotus that looks out under this lamp is really beautiful, but when the lotus blooms, I will not be in this Shanyin, right?" Thinking like this, my cheeks couldn't help but burn.

Xie Gardener is a little strange, this way only heard the young master Jie Zi in the introduction of the garden, this thin scholar is silent, what kind of person is this scholar, such a big and ignorant of the young master Jie Zi, the young master Jie Zi is a Shaoxing celebrity, where does he know that Wang Wei's voice is delicate, as soon as he speaks, he will reveal the stuffing - after the Tianwen platform, it is the plum blossom Zen, this is Zhang Rulin's collection of Buddhist scriptures, meditation and meditation, Zhang Rulin built such a Zen room can be regarded as fashionable, the late Ming scholar doctor was affected by the crazy Zen atmosphere, read Buddhist scriptures, befriended monks is the atmosphere, and a monk stood beside himIn fact, Zhang Rulin is not very interested in Buddhism, he likes to read history books and phonology, after the plum blossom Zen was built, he did not even come to live for a day - the door of the Zen room is hidden, Xie Gardener carried a lantern and pushed the door in, and said: "The middle quiet room is locked, and the villain does not dare to move, and the ear rooms on both sides can be lived, but there are only a few short couches, which were originally for guests to take a nap when they are tired of visiting the garden, and there is no bedding." ”

Uncle Yao came in and said, "It's good to have a couch, and we bring our own bedding." ”

Uncle Yao's two boxes and cages are quite huge, it seems that he has brought a lot of belongings, Xue Tong is also carrying a bag, at this time he went to the plum blossom meditation room to put down the luggage and got busy, the same utensils were taken out from the two large cages, tandoors, clay pots, rice retorts, bowls, candlesticks, rice buckets, foot buckets, net buckets, blankets, soft mattresses, silk quilts, books, pen and ink...... Zhang Yuan, Wu Ling, and Xie Gardener all looked at it in a daze, can this Uncle Yao do tricks, this is simply bringing all the household utensils, although the two cages are big, how can they hold so many things!

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Very good, Xiuwei is really used to being on the road, and the utensils are very complete." He said to Gardener Xie: "Excuse me, Uncle Xie will go back first, there is nothing to do here, you don't need to take care of it, just let them come and go freely." ”

Gardener Xie put the lantern by the window, and said to Wang Wei: "I want to teach this son to know that if you want to get water, it will be at the back door of this meditation room, and there is a stone spring." ”

Zhang Yuan asked Wuling to reward Gardener Xie with two cents of silver, and Gardener Xie happily went back to the grass house.

The night was very quiet, only the sound of the rain was endlessly beating, Uncle Yao and Xue Tong placed utensils in the compartment, Wu Ling said to help, and also went to the next door, the little maid Huixiang stood by the door a little overwhelmed, it was not the time to make the bed and fold the quilt, and I didn't know what to do for a while, I thought: "Aunt Wei likes Xianggong very much, Sister Xueyi also said so, does Aunt Wei want to keep Xianggong here tonight?" So where do I sleep? ”

Wang Wei was also a little flustered, just in the dark, her spring heart was rippling and took the initiative to hug Zhang Yuan, at this time, the red candle was inserted in the candlestick, the room was bright, there was no such ambiguous situation, Wang Wei secretly regretted herself Meng Lang, is she going to be happy with Zhang Yuan tonight? Although Zhang Yuan is the man she loves, but it is not what she wants to be so hasty and sloppy as tonight, which makes her feel a sense of humility - the room is paved with guan seats, the guan seats are very exquisite, and there are no inferior utensils in Xizhang, Zhang Yuan leaned over and stretched out his right index finger to wipe on the guan mat, and his fingertips were stained with dust, and said: "This room has not been lived in for a long time, and it has to be cleaned." ”

The stunned little maid Huixiang who was leaning on the door hurriedly said, "The little maid came to wipe the mat." He called to the neighboring room: "Xue Tong, give me a lantern, and we will go to the back door to get water." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Don't go now, the rain is heavy, and the lanterns will be extinguished in two clicks, and you can just put the wooden basin under the eaves to catch the rain." ”

Hui Xiang slapped his hand and said with a smile: "Hui Xiang is so stupid. "I took a wooden basin and went to the eaves to get water.

Zhang Yuan looked at Wang Wei, who looked a little shy, the green shirt on his body was wet by the rain, and the color of the cloth became darker, this girl used to have a bamboo crown cloth robe, clear and beautiful, and now she changes into Confucian shirt and men's clothes, it is also difficult to hide her beauty, the so-called stunner in the world, is it like this, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiuwei secretly regrets that he was impulsive?" ”

Wang Wei's heart jumped suddenly, and he said in his heart: "Does Zhang Jiezi have a voyeuristic technique?" He said: "Is this the rhetoric of the Son-in-law, the Son-in-law must have regretted it." When he said this, his eyes stared at Zhang Yuan, and it was the long-trained ability of Yangzhou thin horses to observe words and expressions, and to be empathetic-Zhang Yuan smiled "hey" and frowned: "I regret it a little-" Seeing that Wang Wei's face changed slightly, he slowly added half a sentence: "I regret not hugging me more." ”

Wang Wei couldn't help but laugh "sneering", and said coquettishly: "Jie Zi is playing tricks." Seeing Zhang Yuan sitting down cross-legged on the dusty seat, he hurriedly said: "Don't sit, there is dust." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "What's the matter with dust, you can clean it later, and if you have to wash it, you won't be afraid of dirty, otherwise how to stand up and do things." ”

Wang Wei has always been clean, and when she saw Zhang Yuan sitting down like this, she also knelt opposite Zhang Yuan, with her buttocks against her heels, cautiously, and chuckled: "Jie Zi Xianggong seems to be playing a sharp edge." The heart said: "If you are not afraid of being dirty, you can do things, what do you do?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Don't play the edge, tell the truth." Looking at Wang Wei, who was delicate and shy in the candlelight, the two slender and beautiful hands were clasped together, the well-groomed nails were as bright as jade, and he reached out to hold one of Wang Wei's hands, Wang Wei let him hold it so lightly, but his head was lowered, and his cheeks were flushed - Zhang Yuan asked softly: "Xiuwei, what are you?" ”

Wang Wei really didn't know what her plans were, did she come to Shanyin to be a cocoon and throw herself into the net? She wants to have a free and easy life of her own masters, last year on the boat to Jinling, she also discussed with Zhang Yuan what freedom is, Zhang Yuan said that no one can force you to do what you don't want to do, that is, freedom, and then she was coerced by the descendants of the King of Qi, only to know that Zhang Yuan said profoundly, she is a dusty woman's way out is really limited, looking for a man who can cherish himself is the best result, Zhang Yuan will cherish her, it should be, this man has a rare care and mind, just like Fang just let her and Hui Xiang share the umbrella, if Mao Zhisheng, Wang Ruqian, may take care of her, but Hui Xiang will definitely be ignored, she likes careful men, and she can be broad in order to be careful - Wang Wei slowly raised her head, her fine eyelashes flickered, Ying Ying looked at Zhang Yuan in front of her, those eyes seemed to be dripping water, pay attention, this is not tears, Wang Wei spoke, his voice was extremely light and thin, fortunately, Zhang Yuan's hearing was strong enough, and he heard this girl say: "What does Xianggong think?" ”

Wang Wei's hand is very soft, soft as boneless, very comfortable, Zhang Yuan gently kneaded Wang Wei's hand, looked her in the eyes, and said: "I'm afraid that if I say it, you will reject me, then I won't be embarrassed." ”

Wang Wei's eyelashes flashed, his nose shrugged slightly, he looked very cute, and said, "You are a big man, do you want my little woman to speak first." When he said this, the flush on his face deepened - Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "That's right, that's - Xiuwei, I'll welcome you after I get married, okay?" ”

Zhang Yuan finally opened this mouth, Wang Wei's heart was "pounding" with joy, but the word "after marriage" still made her feel guilty, worried that the eldest woman would not tolerate it, and said that the son was sad, it was better to be free in the old courtyard in Quzhong, rather than make a hasty decision, it was better to postpone, hesitated for a while, and said: "Don't worry, it's better to concentrate on preparing for the township test, otherwise——"

Zhang Yuan said: "Otherwise, it will be said that it is a lustful mistake." ”

Wang Wei smiled: "Exactly, the little woman can't afford this crime, so don't worry, anyway, I'm waiting for you anyway-"

Zhang Yuan raised the back of Wang Wei's hand and kissed it, the girl's body trembled slightly, she looked very sensitive, her expression was ashamed and happy, and her heart was both light and heavy - at this time, the little maid Huixiang came in with water, and said with an "ah" voice: "Aunt Wei, Zhang Xianggong, why did you sit down, this mat hasn't been wiped yet." ”

Wang Wei gently withdrew his hand from Zhang Yuan's palm and said, "I'm tired of running, anyway, this clothes are wet and I have to change." As he spoke, he stood up so that Hui Xiang could wipe the mat.

Zhang Yuan also stood up, and Wang Wei stood side by side in front of the window to watch the night rain, the plum blossom meditation room was surrounded by lush flowers and trees, and there was still a faint fragrance of flowers in the rain, Wang Wei said: "This rain seems to be unable to stop for a while-" As soon as the words came out, he felt a little inappropriate, although he didn't look sideways, he also knew that Zhang Yuan next to him was laughing, and snorted: "Is the prince so proud?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "It's not proud, it's a pity, if it doesn't rain, I can stay a little longer-"

Wang was slightly surprised, suddenly woke up, and said: "Jie Zi Xianggong is pampered by his parents." Thinking of her parents, she sighed softly, her father is Suiyang Prefecture Xuezheng, if she hadn't died of illness on the way home, where would she have ended up in Qinglou, and she could marry a gentry family, but then she is unlikely to meet Zhang Yuan, alas, is this fortunate or unlucky?

Zhang Yuan shook Wang Wei's hand and didn't say anything, and the voice of Gardener Xie came from afar:

"Young Master Jiezi, the person who picked you up from your mansion is here."

Wang breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a loss.

It was Laifu and Mu Zhenzhen who came to pick up Zhang Yuan, bringing four umbrellas, Wang Wei held an umbrella to send Zhang Yuan out of Plum Blossom Zen, Laifu recognized that this scholar was Wang Wei, and opened his mouth in surprise, Wuling quietly poked Laifu's waist and eyes, and Laifu put away his face - Wang Wei and Zhang Yuan walked side by side, and said softly: "Ming said that it is a Hanshe assembly, don't rain it." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "This little rain has not dissipated the enthusiasm of the colleagues of the Han Society, and the umbrella cover of the mountain is also a scene." ”

Wang Wei asked, "Which mountain?" ”

Zhang Yuan pointed to the air to the north: "Ming said that if you look this way early in the morning, you can see it." ”

Wang Weixi said: "Is it Longshan?" ”

Zhang Yuanqi said: "Xiuwei also knows Longshan? ”

Wang Wei smiled and didn't answer, and said in his heart: "Will Zhang Jiezi, who has never forgotten, forget things, I read the 'Longshan Snow' you wrote in the boat last year, and I heard Zhang Zongzi and Zhang Yanke talk about the famous places in Shanyin, and I know Shanyin well." ”

In front of the gate of the garden, Zhang Yuan said: "Xiuwei has a good rest, and I can play in the garden tomorrow, and I will come to see you later." He nodded, held an umbrella, and walked in the direction of the Chengzhong Mansion with Mu Zhenzhen, Wuling and Laifu, walked out of a few zhang, and told Laifu Ming to come here and ask Uncle Yao what he was missing, and first send some Shaoxing flowers and white rice, sesame oil and vegetables, as well as charcoal - Laifu agreed repeatedly.

Wang Wei stood in front of the gate of the garden, watching Zhang Yuan and his party of four gradually walk away, the spring is cold, the night breeze is cool, the rain line under the lantern light is more and more dense, Wang Wei smiled at the corner of her mouth, her eyesight is very good, she can still distinguish the stain on the lower hips of Zhang Yuan's jade-colored shirt from a distance of ten zhang, Zhang Yuan was wet with rain, and sat on the dusty seat, and was stained a large piece - I don't know why, Wang Wei, who was originally clean, felt that the stain was particularly gratifying, so she couldn't help but laugh out loud, she thought: "Zhang Jiezi, Even if you lose me one day, I don't like you anymore, but I still like the smudge on your hind buttocks—"

Thinking like this, Wang Wei really laughed out loud, felt that he was really ridiculous, and gently "spitted" again, and said in his heart: "How did you think that Zhang Jiezi would lose me, Wang Xiuwei, you are really cranky, you are so happy that you are dizzy." ”

…… It rained intermittently overnight, the sound of rain stopped at dawn, Wang Wei woke up early, the light penetrated into the window lattice, and looked at Hui Xiang who was sleeping on the side was still asleep, so he quietly got up, changed into a Confucian shirt, combed his hair in a bun and put on a turban, and went around to the back door of the plum blossom meditation room. East Zhang is poor and West Zhang is rich, but Meson doesn't seem to be poor either—"

Wang Wei found the stone spring, this spring is from Xiaomei Mountain, a clear small canal, Wang Wei squatted down in a robe, took a handful of spring water entrance, the water quality is quite good, cooking tea is also good, when rinsing the mouth, I can hear the bell rising slowly, this is the morning bell of Shanyin City, and it is also a total of one hundred and eight sounds - Wang Wei listened quietly, she has heard the bells of Jinling, the bells of Hangzhou, different towns, the rhythm of the bells is different, and she understands this nuance, and there is an inexplicable joy in her heart, and her heart says: " I have heard the evening bell and the morning bell of San'in Castle, which means that I have been in San'in for a day. ”

The last bell was still in the sky above Shanyin City, Wang Wei turned around and looked north by the small canal, but saw a vein of Qingdai Mountain shadow in the blue sky, this is Longshan, the mountain shape is not like a dragon, but like a giant lion running to the side of Pang Gong Pond and suddenly stopping to drink - Wang Wei muttered: "Today the sky is clear, Zhang Sheshou is a lucky person, although the mountain umbrella is also a good story, but there are always a lot of inconveniences, now it's good, I can't miss this event today, and see what the Jie Zixiang Guild says to the colleagues of the Han Society?" ”

Wang Wei returned to the meditation room, and saw that Uncle Yao, Xue Tong, and Hui Xiang had all gotten up, and they were all awakened by the morning bell, Wang Wei said: "Xue Tong, follow me to Longshan, Uncle Yao and Hui Xiang don't have to go." ”

Uncle Yao said: "Aunt Wei will go after eating porridge." ”

Wang Wei said: "No, you can go to the mountains and buy some food." He entered the room and took a bamboo fan made of Liu Yutai, and took Xue Tong out of the meditation room to the door.

The gardener surnamed Xie was talking to his son about something, seeing Wang Wei's master and servant coming over, he hurriedly crossed his hands to salute, Wang Wei nodded with a smile, and Xue Tong walked out of the gate of the garden, that Xie gardener didn't see Wang Wei's appearance clearly last night, and then he realized that it was such a young scholar who was more charming than a woman, and suddenly realized: "No wonder Young Master Jie Zi is so flattering to this scholar, hehe, I already knew that the young masters of Xizhang are good men, and Young Master Jie Zi has also learned, tsk, the rich young master thinks strangely, he likes men!" ”

Gardener Xie shook his head and swept the floor.

…… That Wang Wei took Xue Tong to find the stone steps on the mountain of Longshan, and climbed the steps, at this time it was just dawn, the mountain in the city was quiet and silent, Xue Tong did not leave his hand, and jumped on the mountain road, and suddenly aimed at the bushes and shot a projectile, a bird with black and white feathers fluttered its wings and planted it, startled a group of resident birds and shot into the sky, Xue Tong jumped over to pick up the bird, and said happily: "This big is delicious." ”

Wang Wei said angrily: "Don't fight birds, we borrow the garden of the uncle of the Jie Zixiang clan, which is a meditation room, so I am embarrassed to pluck the feathers and simmer the birds to eat." ”

Xue Tong reluctantly put the big on the side of the stone steps and muttered, "It's a pity, I don't know who is cheaper!" He followed Wang Wei to the mountain and asked, "Aunt Wei, can we eat fish and meat?" ”

Wang Wei said: "Alas, you have been thinking about eating all day long, and we have not become nuns, why can't we eat fish and meat?" ”

Xue Tong said "oh", then he was relieved, turned his head to look at the dead bird on the side of the mountain road below, hoping that the bird fluttered and flew away, and did not cheapen others - Wang Wei said: "Xue Tong, I'm hungry, right, let's go to the Chenghuang Temple in the middle of the mountain to buy some food from the old temple." ”

Xue Tongqi said: "Aunt Wei has been here? ”

Wang Wei smiled proudly, shook his head and said, "Aren't they all first-time visitors?" ”

Xue Tong craned his neck and looked up, but he didn't see any City God Temple, and said, "How did Wei Gu know that there was a City God Temple in the middle of the mountain—I know, it was Xianggong Jie Zi who told you, didn't you?" ”

Wang smiled but did not answer, and said in his heart: "I don't know if the old temple in 'Longshan Snow' is still alive?" ”

As soon as the mountain road turned, a city god temple stood impressively on the mountainside, an old Taoist on crutches in front of the temple gate to direct two incense Taoist priests to place a few cases, listing all kinds of fruits and food, ready to make a small profit by the Han Society assembly, seeing Wang Wei's master and servant approaching, this white-haired old temple Zhu said with a smile on his face: "This son came so early, buy some fruit and food, and there will be thousands of beings going up the mountain next, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it." ”
