After walking for a while, Gu Ming came to a large mansion with a plaque on the door: Tang Mansion.

Looking at the payment, it is written by Tang Bohu himself.

"Bang ......"

After confirming that this was Tang Bohu's house, Gu Ming stepped forward and patted the door knocker a few times.

"Who?"

An old voice sounded inside.

"Old man, may I ask if Tang Xie Yuan is in the house?"

There was no response inside, but the door opened a crack, and an old man poked his head out and looked at Gu Ming with a frown.

"Trouble asking who is the son? What are you looking for my son-in-law to do? ”

Gu Ming took out a name sticker and handed it over: "Old man, this is my name sticker, please pass it on to Tang Jieyuan, he will naturally know it when he sees it." ”

"Oh, then you wait a minute."

The old man answered, took the name sticker and closed the door.

In this regard, Gu Ming is not dissatisfied, after all, Tang Bohu is very famous, and there are many people who come here, so if you can't come and see one, won't the house become a vegetable market?

I waited outside for a while.

There was a faint sound of hurried footsteps inside.

The sound is getting closer.

"Ga~"

The door opened again.

"Haha, Gu Xie Yuan, you have finally arrived, Bo Hu has lost his welcome, he has lost his welcome."

"Tang Jieyuan is polite, Xiaosheng has admired his name for a long time, and today I am finally fortunate to see Tang Jieyuan's demeanor."

Having heard Tang Bohu's name for a long time, Gu Ming finally saw me today.

For some reason, a melody involuntarily sounded in my head: braised chicken wings, I like to eat them. But your wife said you were about to ascend to heaven......

Not to mention, it is really similar to the image of Tang Bohu in that movie.

"Gu Xie Yuan laughed, you are the emperor's hand-picked Xie Yuan, how can we compare ......"

After the two of them exchanged politeness, Tang Bohu enthusiastically led Gu Ming to the backyard.

Gu Ming subconsciously looked around...... The yard is exquisitely decorated, and there are many peach trees.

It is estimated that this courtyard should be seven or eight acres in size.

If you are in the countryside, a house of seven or eight acres is nothing, but in the prosperous Gusu Mansion, it is really a mansion.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Gu Ming's eyes suddenly appeared with a group of emerald red, fat and thin, dazzling people.

As soon as he saw Gu Ming enter the hospital, he suddenly felt fragrant, and stepped forward one by one to salute.

After Tang Bohu's introduction, Gu Mingfang learned that eight of these women were his wives and concubines, and the rest were maids in the house.

A merry and talented man, he really deserves his name.

Gu Ming said with emotion: "Tang Xie Yuan is really a blessing, the eight ladies are all like flowers and jade, virtuous and virtuous, which makes people envious." ”

As soon as the words fell, a string of silver bell-like laughter suddenly sounded in the courtyard.

"Hee-hee~"

"Gu Xie Yuan is really good at praising people~"

No wonder this guy doesn't want to take the exam, this is simply a life of immortals, who likes to take the exam.

Tang Bohu smiled modestly: "Where, it's just so-so, Gu Jieyuan don't laugh...... You may be seated, you may be seated! ”

On the other side, Yahuan had already brewed the tea and brought a few plates of fruit.

"This time, thanks to Tang Jieyuan's invitation, Xiao Shengfang had the opportunity to come to Gusu Mansion to participate in the Golden Cinnamon Festival......"

After sitting down, Gu Ming first expressed his gratitude.

"Gu Xie Yuan is the Xie Yuan hand-picked by the emperor, and his talent is outstanding and admirable.

It's not my intention to invite you to come this time, including Brother Zhu and others, who also want to take this opportunity to see Gu Jieyuan's demeanor......"

After complimenting each other, the two began to talk about some topics of poetry and songs, wind and snow.

This chat is a bit unstoppable, and there is a sense of hating each other.

As a result, the two sides finally stopped being so polite and evoked each other's names.

At the same time, Tang Bohu also sent his subordinates to inform Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhengming, and Xu Zhenqing.

"Wen Xing, it's the first time you've come to Gusu, and you're going to get drunk tonight."

"Since Brother Bohu is warmly invited, Xiaosheng should sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman."

Drinking, who are you afraid of?

"Hahaha, happy! Joyfully! ”

Tang Bohu couldn't help laughing.

Speaking of which, Tang Bohu has always been conceited and high-minded, and rarely takes the initiative to make friends with people.

This time, he took the initiative to invite Gu Ming to come to Gusu, first, he was curious, after all, it was rare to see Xie Yuan for hundreds of years.

Second, it is also out of sympathy.

Including Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhengming, and Xu Zhenqing, the same is true.

The poems that Gu Ming wrote for the exam, including the West Chamber and Dream of Red Mansions written by him, were specially found and read by the four of them, and they also sat together to discuss the writing, plot, character design, poems and so on.

Rao is the four of them are recognized as the four great talents in Jiangnan, and they have to admit that Gu Ming's talent is really impressive.

It is no wonder that the emperor will make an exception to appoint Enke Xie Yuan.

The two chatted for almost an hour, and Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhengming, and Xu Zhenqing finally came together.

"Gu Xie Yuan, long admiration, long admiration!"

"Gu Xie Yuan is really a talent, a young talent!"

"I've been looking at you for a long time, I must have a drink today!"

As soon as they met, a polite voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard.

That's the circle.

To put it simply, it is called "gathering like things, and people gathering by groups".

It's hard for people from different circles to really get together.

"The little brother has long admired the name of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is really an honor to have the honor to meet them one by one today."

"Hahaha, each other, Gu Xie Yuan has stolen the limelight from the township test.

A sentence will be the top of the mountain, a glance at the mountains, it is simply amazing, and it makes people's blood boil......"

After a few words of greeting, Tang Bohu subconsciously glanced at Zhu Zhishan and said, "Brother Zhu, among the four of us, you like to look around the most."

Wen Xing came to Gusu for the first time, maybe find a good place to drink tonight? ”

Without waiting for Zhu Zhishan to speak, Wen Zhengming couldn't help but smile and said, "How about going to the Rouge Boat?" ”

Rouge Boat is one of the most well-known Fengyue places in Gusu Mansion, and it is also the largest painting boat in Gusu Mansion.

The boat is also equipped with more than 10 small boats, which is convenient for guests to sail on the water.

Although the consumption is not low, the girls in it can all sing and dance, and can also recite poems against each other, so it has attracted many talented people and sons to look for beauty.

"Okay, then go to the rouge boat."

Obviously, Tang Bohu was also quite satisfied with this proposal.

Xu Zhenqing has no opinion.

As a result, Zhu Zhishan said: "Although the rouge boat is good, the younger brother has recently discovered a better place......

"Oh? Whence? ”

Tang Bohu and the others were immediately interested.

"This place is called Peach Blossom Village ......"

"Peach Blossom Village?" Tang Bohu was stunned: "Why have I never heard of it?" ”

Zhu Zhishan smiled proudly: "Of course you haven't heard of it, the little brother also accidentally discovered it recently."

The location of this village is relatively hidden, located in the depths of Taohuagou on the outskirts of the city......"

"No, I've been to Peach Blossom Ditch many times, and I haven't seen any Peach Blossom Village."

"I haven't seen it either." Wen Zhengming echoed.

Zhu Zhishan explained: "That's because it used to be just a private house, but about a month ago it was renamed Taokaso and opened to the public. ”

"I see! But Brother Zhu, you respect this village so much, what is different about it? ”

"It's hard to describe......" Zhu Zhishan looked intoxicated and muttered: "The wine is good, the flowers are fragrant, and the people are beautiful......"

"Okay, let's go see it!"

is just six words, but it has exhausted its charm.

"Wen Xing, what do you mean?"

Although a decision had been made, out of courtesy, Tang Bohu still turned his head sideways to ask Gu Ming's opinion.

"Hehe, the younger brother has just arrived, and he is not familiar with Gusu Mansion, so it is good for the four benevolent brothers to be the masters."

"Then it's decided, go to Peach Blossom Village!"

stained with the word peach blossom, Tang Bohu was even more reluctant to miss the opportunity.

Although it is now earlier than the peach blossom season, as long as you have peach blossoms in your heart, you can still stay in the peach forest even in the cold winter season.

Taohuagou is located in the north of the city, about ten miles away from the city.

The area is hilly, and the mountains are covered with wild peach trees, the largest of which is said to be more than 1,000 years old.

Every spring, the peach blossoms are in full bloom all over the mountains, and the flowers and leaves are flying.

Walking through it is like entering a fairyland on earth.

Therefore, it has also attracted countless people to come to enjoy the flowers and chant poems, and I don't know how many good sentences and good stories have been left.

A group of five people arrived at the mouth of the valley in a horse-drawn carriage, and then got off the car and walked down the ravine.

As far as the eye can see, the hillsides on both sides are covered with wild peach trees, large and small, in a variety of shapes.

Some of the old trees still have a few late-ripening peaches hanging from them.

"Brother Zhu, how far is it to go in?"

After walking for a while, Tang Bohu subconsciously asked.

"About three or four miles away."

The topography of Taohuagou is relatively complex, and the large and small ravines and ravines cross vertically and horizontally, just like a maze.

Fortunately, the government has set up signs at some intersections, which is considerate.

followed Zhu Zhishan for a long time, and finally, the group saw a small sign, which read: Peach Blossom Village.

Following the guidance of the arrow, I continued to walk for a while, and found another sign......

"No wonder I didn't notice it before, it's a bit remote."

Tang Bohu couldn't help but sigh.

"Hehe, Brother Tang, this is called the fragrance of wine, not afraid of deep alleys."

This is not an exaggeration at all.

When a group of five people finally arrived at Peach Blossom Village, they found that although this village is not very large, it is extremely exquisite and elegant.

In addition to peach trees, there are lotuses, peonies, osmanthus, orchids, chrysanthemums, lilies, daffodils, and many more.

Towers and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, rockery corridors, winding paths and secluded paths.

As soon as I entered, I saw that there were already more than a dozen guests sitting at the stone table in twos and threes in twos and threes drinking, tasting tea, and chatting.

Seven or eight girls in pale pink dresses shuttled back and forth like butterflies.

"Yes, yes!"

Although he had walked such a long way, when he saw this situation, Tang Bohu was immediately satisfied.

"Brother Tang, if this is all the case, the junior brother will not bring you here on purpose......"

Zhu Zhishan smiled playfully, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at the backyard.

"Oh? Could it be that there is something more surprising? ”

"That's right, most of the people who come to Peach Blossom Village are coming for the owner of this village."

This remark immediately aroused the interest of Tang Bohu and others, and they opened their mouths to inquire one after another.

"Brother Zhu, who is the owner of this village?"

"Don't sell it, hurry up."

"That is, what is God doing mysteriously?"

Gu Ming didn't speak, but squinted his eyes slightly and looked around......

Although he didn't use his discerning skills to inspect it, in his heart, he faintly felt that this Peach Blossom Village was a little unusual......
