Early Spring in Gangnam (XI) (Part II)

Early in the morning, Lian'er went to Baihuatang to see the crescent moon, and she was a little relieved to see that this little girl was now gradually adapting to the life of Baihuatang. As soon as the affairs were explained, the two came together, and when they entered through the door of the tea house, they heard voices coming from various tea rooms. Both of them are girls' families, it is not appropriate to show their heads, just now because they don't want to take a sedan chair up the mountain, they want to see the scenery, and there is no one on the mountain road, so the two will slowly walk back along the mountain road. Now that there are so many guests in the tea house, the two didn't want to meet too many strangers, so they chose to go uphill from a bamboo forest path next to the courtyard gate. Most of the people who come and go here are guys from the Aoki Tea House who serve tea and food. The two walked up the stairs, chatting and walking slowly, and didn't even see anyone after two turns, and the sound of bamboo leaves in the wind was quite pleasant along the way.

When turning to the third turn, the crescent moon suddenly frowned, Someone walked down from it, but the bamboo bushes were covered, and the stone road was crooked, and no one could be seen, only footsteps could be heard. The footsteps are very soft, and they are two masters of internal strength. Although there are many guards of the Aoki Society in the tea house, the internal strength of this person is not comparable to that of ordinary guards, and those Jingwei who are hidden in the shadows will not move around at will during the day. Although this is the territory of the third brother, there are guards patrolling in secret, but Sister Lian's martial arts are average, judging from the skills of the two of them, if one person is still enough, two people, they may not be able to fight one against two, This road is remote, don't make any mistakes. She now regretted a little that she didn't let the Jingwei of Baihuatang keep up when she was down the mountain. I thought I wouldn't be able to walk for a while to get to the tea house, so I had nothing to worry about.

The sound of the wind blowing the bamboo leaves is more likely, Lian'er's martial arts are far inferior to Xinyue, and the other party is a master, and the sound of walking is very soft, Lian'er didn't hear it, but Xinyue's expression told her that something was wrong. She inquired with her eyes, Xinyue nodded, Lian'er nodded, and looked at a small fork in the road that would be there at every turn, which was the way to the pavilion under the wisteria trellis behind the bamboo bushes, and the two walked briskly in the direction of the pavilion in tacit understanding. As long as there is movement in a crowded place, there are really few people who dare to make a bold move in the third brother's territory.

The people above may have heard the change in the direction of their footsteps, and quickly chased after them, and by the time they could see the figures, they had already walked through the bamboo forest and entered the open garden in front of the wisteria trellis. The garden is built on the hillside, planted with many precious flowers and plants, but it is not high, and you can see it at a glance up and down the mountain. Today is a bright spring, and it is the day of rest for the yamen and the school, and there are guests in each teahouse. The appearance of two peerless beauties attracted countless attention, and many people on and off the mountain looked at this side. The two gray-clothed men stood by the bamboo forest, looking at the woman in the bright spring light, glanced at each other, and had no choice but to turn around and prepare to retreat. It's just that things are not as simple as they thought, Just as they were about to retreat to the bamboo forest, Jiang Haisheng, the shopkeeper of the Huanglongpo Aoki Tea House, came with the guards.

"I don't know which guest's disciple these two strong men are?" Jiang Haisheng asked politely. Business place, no matter what, you have to be kind and make money, of course Jiang Haisheng must be polite first. These two people are dressed like a big family in Hangzhou, and their hands and feet are calm, no matter what their real identity is, at least at this moment, they look like they have come here to drink tea with a big person.

But neither of them spoke, glanced at Jiang Haisheng, and then flew up at the same time, swept past Jiang Haisheng and the guards, and headed towards the depths of the bamboo forest, skimming over the path and the bamboo forest, and climbed over the wall to another courtyard. The guards of the Aoki Society are all trained, and they are stronger than ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, but this Jiang Haisheng is good at business and life, but his martial arts are mediocre, and these two people see that Jiang Haisheng is the weakest one, and they specifically pass through his gap, which makes him very helpless. It was difficult to find it again after chasing it out, so I could only walk up to Lian'er and say: "My subordinates' martial arts are too poor, I couldn't intercept them, and I ask the two girls to forgive me." ”

Lian'er just shook her head, this kind of business occasion is not suitable for making a move, making money with kindness, not to mention that Jiang Haisheng is just a bright road, and the master of Aoki Society Jingwei will naturally follow to the bottom. There are a lot of guests here today, There is this scene, everyone was shocked at first, in broad daylight, this Huanglongpo is a place for all kinds of rich nobles in Hangzhou, not to mention Tang Sanshao's industry, and some people think of the kidnapping of the son of the Qin family, a wealthy businessman in the city two days ago, Is this Hangzhou too chaotic? Or is the government too incompetent? There are also people who feel that they are fortunate to have chosen Tang Sanshao's field, seeing that the two people just now were scared away when they saw the guards of the Aoki Society, they will still be in the field of Sanshao in the future, and someone will only make a move if there is something.

Of course, the first thing someone sees is two beauties, such as the guests in the Guiyan Pavilion. The leader of these people looks like he has kung fu, he is seven feet tall, his shoulders are broad, his martial arts are powerful, and he has a bit of a murderous aura on his body. This person is the new Jiangnan Governor Huang Shenghua, his battle is still 300 miles away from Hangzhou, he just went to Hangzhou to do some personal affairs first. More than ten years ago, when he was transferred, he was only a general of the Jiangnan battalion, but he was secretly supported by nobles, and because of his meritorious service to nobles, he was promoted to the Gyeonggi battalion as a guerrilla deputy general. In the past ten years, he has won the appreciation of the Queen Mother because he stood on the right team in the Gyeonggi Daying, and this time he was specially transferred back to the Jiangnan Daying to take over the local defense. Jiangnan is a rich land, and all forces want to get a piece of the pie here. This is also one of the granaries of the imperial court, so there must be no mistakes.

Jiangnan is his hometown, and there are clansmen in the countryside of Xingzhou who have bullied his mother, son, orphans and widows. There was also a poor master who sympathized with him, taught him martial arts, introduced him to the army, and gave him a chance to clean up the people who bullied his mother and son when he returned with glory. Hangzhou is the place where he made his fortune, he knows this land very well, after breaking away from the Huang clan in Xingzhou, here he began the first step of family business accumulation, every big income in Beijing through various ways to buy the family business in Jiangnan. It is one of his wishes to be promoted back to Jiangnan, to return to his hometown, and at the same time, he must also organize and operate his own industry. So he left the brigade and entered the city early. Hangtown is also the source of his frequent midnight nightmares. There were too many things that happened to serve the nobles back then, some of them were too thrilling, some of them made him completely sell his soul, and some of them were deeply imprinted in his mind and couldn't let go.

After two busy days, I finally sorted out my personal affairs, so I asked a few old friends to go out for a walk. This Aoki Tea Society did not exist when he left Hangzhou, and in the past ten years, the Yuehuaxuan Aoki Society has opened almost all the major cities of the Great Zhou. What is rare is that each Yuekaken and Aokisha have something in common, and they also have their own characteristics. This family is built on the mountain, all kinds of tea room courtyards are scattered, accompanied by mountains and rivers, and it will be swept away by the dust and busyness along the way in less than half an hour. He had to admire the ability of the Tang family's three young men.

He squatted easily with a cup of tea and stood in the Guiyan Pavilion looking down the mountain, and he could see the movement in the middle of the mountain. The neat movements of the two gray-clothed men did not seem to be local kung fu, which surprised him a little. When he set his eyes on the two women, he didn't feel special at first, a gust of wind blew, and the woman's wide dress was blown to fit closely, lining her delicate and unique figure, and also gently lifted the corner of the veil, revealing a jade-carved snow-white chin and delicate lips, which looked elegant and noble. This scene seems to coincide with the scene twenty years ago, on a cruise ship on Slender Lake, a woman in white stands against the railing, and a gust of wind on the lake blows the corner of her veil, also such a delicate chin, but also such a noble figure.

"Lady Akane...," he exclaimed, and his figure flew out of the windowsill and landed in the garden. But before he could walk over, he saw another figure swept up to the woman's side like the wind, and after standing still, there was such a majestic detachment, a young man in his twenties, and the noble figure seemed to be very compatible. He had to stand still and smile miserably, the Lady Qian in his mind was no longer of this age. He himself is not a teenager for a long time, and he has entered middle age.

The person who came was Xinjie, and it was really brave that someone dared to peep at his woman in his territory. At the top of the mountain, he was drinking tea with everyone in the Sky Pavilion, and when he heard the warning, he immediately rushed to it.

Huang Shenghua was feeling a little funny, and wanted to turn around and walk into the Guiyan Pavilion to continue drinking tea, when another figure appeared, making him pause for a moment. Xu Zheng, the eldest son of the Xu family, the young man who went to investigate the bloody case of the Zhou family and the Yan family that year. This person has been disappearing from Jiangnan for a few years, he thinks someone has already dealt with him, how did he come back? Did he find out something or had he given up? Most of them gave up, if they found out something, Jiangnan would not be so calm. Watching him Xu Zheng walk towards the woman, Huang Shenghua's heart almost rose to his throat, is it really Qian Niangzi? No way.

At three o'clock, Yuliang, as usual, brought in the brewed tea to the head of Yuda. On normal days, he serves good tea, and today's affairs are basically over and he can go down to rest. However, the Tang family Sanshao was going to come in a while, so he asked carefully, "Is the mung bean cake prepared for Sanshao brought over now?" Or wait? ”

"Come here, he's a very punctual guy." Since he sent a message that the time was three o'clock, since the boy had agreed, he would definitely come if there was no accident: "If I heard me correctly, he is here now." ”

"I really can't hide anything from your old man." It was Xinjie who came in with the voice. Although neither the guards of the Jade Gate nor Yuliang noticed him, the skill of the Ancestor was not something he could fool.

People say that a man should be pretty and wear soap, and this child is dressed in a jet-black robe, which makes his face more fair and handsome.
