Rong Ruo, Gu Zhenguan, Jiang Ximing entered the house one after another, only to see that there was no furnishings on the four walls of the house, a shelf of books stood against the wall on the wide bamboo couch, a small square table was placed on the couch, a stone inkstone was still moistened with a little ink, and the white candle covered with roving yarn was shining on the four walls.

"What a place to read!" Gu Zhenguan couldn't help but admire, Zhu Zhuyuan beckoned a few people to take off their shoes and socks and sit cross-legged on the bamboo bed, Xiao Anzi happened to buy snacks, wine and food and other supper, and put on a simple table again, he was used to it casually, and there was no need to leave someone to serve, so Zhu Zhuyuan asked the boy to lead Xiao Anzi to another guest room to rest.

As soon as Gu Zhenguan sat down, he saw a pear blossom note scattered on the inside of the bed, and when he picked it up to look at it, he saw that the two lines of juanxiu on it were written in a small block with "The Longevity Girl", so he read it aloud

"After dusk. The wind and rain stopped when the windows were opened. Not sleeping is sleeping for a long time. Gradually, the cold invaded the brocade quilt, and the fine incense eliminated the gold beast. Add a new sorrow and feel old, but it is difficult to be red and thin. ”

Rong Ruo recited this word silently in his mouth, and after tasting it carefully, he said: "The last sentence 'add a new sorrow and feel old, but fight but blush and thin' has a bit of taste, but this rhetoric is gentle and tactful, not like my brother's literary style." ”

Gu Zhen looked at the pear blossom note in her hand, leaned under her nose and sniffed it and said with a smile: "This poem is definitely not written by Zhuyuan, you can know that it was written by a woman when you look at this note, and the wording also contains fragrance, which is the same as this note." Xue Tao, a talented woman in ancient times, once made a peach blossom note, and was asked for by the famous sons of the official eunuchs at that time, and now this paper is also extremely elegant, compared to the inscription of a talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River, right? ”

Jiang Ximing said with a smile: "Don't look at the quiet and elegant place of Zhuyuan, in fact, not far from the door is the world-famous Qinhuai River Flower Street, where it is fragrant, gentle township, this flower note is not one of them to give to Zhuyuan I don't know, hehe." He laughed.

Zhu Zhuyuan was not annoyed when he heard their ridicule, he only took the note and looked at the words on it and said: "I don't hide it from you, but this is a gift from me, this woman has the charm of blowing flowers and chewing stamens, it's a pity that this woman has the charm of blowing flowers and chewing stamens, it's a pity that ......."

Gu Zhenguan said with a smile: "The woman who can make Brother Zhuyuan sigh and regret must be extraordinary, it is not easy for me and Rong Ruo to go to the south of the Yangtze River, can you recommend us to see this strange woman?" Gu Zhenguan gave Jiang Ximing a look as he spoke.

Jiang Ximing is so shrewd, he also said with a helping voice at the early meeting, but Rong Ruo said with a suspicious face: "Liang Fen and I both have public offices, if we are seen, I am afraid it will not be good ......."

"Hey, you two are not wearing official uniforms, and you don't have the word "Qincha" engraved on your face, who cares about you." Jiang Ximing said. Gu Zhenguan also smiled and nodded, Rong Ruo saw that the two of them were full of interest, and it was not easy to spoil the fun, so they had to accompany each other.

Zhu Zhuyuan saw that a few people were very interested, so he readily agreed, and the next day he sent the boy to make an appointment, and the boy returned and said that the girl had an appointment during the day, and only had time a little later.

In the evening of the next day, a light rain as fine and soft as silk fell, and the night mist flowed on the Qinhuai River, reflecting the shimmering red lanterns on the lake with a kind of warm coolness, Zhu Zhuyuan took Rong Ruo and Gu Zhenguan, and Jiang Ximing and a few people slowly walked towards the Qinhuai River.

The three of them followed Zhu Zhuyuan until they crossed the flower street, and they didn't see which courtyard Zhu Zhuyuan entered. Looking at the red lights and green alleys behind him, Jiang Ximing couldn't help but ask: "Hey, Zhuyuan, where are you taking us?" ”

Zhu Yuan turned around and smiled mysteriously: "Naturally, it's not the place where those vulgar drunken gold fans are. ”

Gu Zhenguan and Jiang Ximing were still as interested as yesterday, as if they were eagerly looking forward to seeing the woman as soon as possible, but Rong Ruo followed absentmindedly at the end. His eyes fell on the sparkling river, and the thin rain unconsciously moistened his face.

The breeze rose, and the coolness on the face penetrated into the heart, stirring up a little poignant and desolate artistic conception, and the face of the dream was like the sparkling waves in the river gradually floating in the heart.

Huai'er, who is far away in the capital, should write scriptures quietly under the candle at this moment......

The surrounding trees gradually flourished, the air was quiet and cool, and the first-class clear stream in the forest flowed, which was invisible, but the sound was clearly audible.

The breeze gently caressed the soft and eyebrow-like leaves of the water bamboo, making a thin sound like a dragon's groan, and only a quiet path was left in front of it, crawling in the gap between the lush forests on both sides.

A hook on the horizon seemed to be quietly guiding them to the secluded and wonderful place they were looking forward to.

Gu Zhenguan and Jiang Ximing were both suspicious in their hearts, and only Zhu Zhuyuan leisurely shook the folding fan and walked forward.

Turning through a dense forest of spotted bamboo, a flat and open field suddenly opened up in front of me, the lintel is not high, and two pink lanterns are hanging on both sides.

Originally, it was a quiet and quiet abode, but the color of the lantern was not hung by ordinary people, and the pinkness of the people showed some indescribable facts.

Zhu Zhuyuan stepped forward and knocked lightly on the knocker, Rong Ruo looked around indifferently, and sighed in his heart: It's a pity that this place is actually such a Fengyue place.

With three taps, the door opened from the inside. There was a slightly thin doorman standing, Gu Zhenguan reported his name first, the boy should have been instructed a long time ago, and if he didn't ask the side, the side person let the four of them into the courtyard.

In the courtyard is a patio, and the candlelight covered with a veil can be faintly seen in the two-story buildings on both sides, and the window screen shines through, although each room is lit with candles, it does not look noisy, but seems to soothe the heat of the day, which makes people feel faintly calm and quiet.

On the front, it is a three-storey exquisite pavilion, and the two relief paintings on the wall on both sides of the main entrance are very expressive. On the left is a chart of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, and on the right is a picture of the two immortals of Hehe.

Looking up, the roof beams and railings of each floor of the pavilion are carved beams and paintings, which are very exquisite. The beast sitting on the eaves in the corner of the house is lifelike, the hanging copper bell is swaying lightly with the night breeze, and the sound of the jingle bell seems to come far away in the night sky.

There are nine palace lamps as red as blood hanging on the pavilion, which seem to want to render a lively atmosphere, but they are particularly dazzling. In such an exquisite courtyard, there is no sound of silk and bamboo.

Entering the courtyard, the boy who opened the door just now left automatically, and greeted a little girl who was about thirteen or fourteen years old. ”

Zhu Zhuyuan bowed his hand and said, "Exactly." The girl glanced at Gu Zhenguan and the others behind Zhu Zhuyuan. Zhu Zhuyuan said: "These are my friends, guests from the capital, who come in the name of your girl. ”

The girl chuckled and nodded, and said, "A few distinguished guests, please." ”

After that, he turned around and led the way in front, and introduced a few people into the building, the first floor was simply furnished, with only a few high-legged coffee tables and a few opposite Taishi chairs, and at a glance it was an ordinary place to entertain guests.

The girl led them directly to the second floor.
