The Great Xiao Dynasty has a saying that the South Xie and the North Chen, the North Chen refers to the Chen family located in Changmo, Shandong, since the first emperor was faint in his later years, the Chen family has all left the court and returned to the Changmo seclusion.

Some people came to the Chen family because they offended the first emperor and had to avoid the hidden world, and some people said that the Chen family did not have the courage to live and die with the country, but was just a coward.

Regardless of the different opinions, the Chen family is like a behemoth, dormant on the shore of the Bohai Sea, even if it is Chang Mingda, if you want to do something to the Chen family, you have to consider a few points in advance.

Nan Xie refers to the Chixia Xie clan.

The Xie family and the Chen family are generally families that have been passed down for hundreds of years or thousands of years, and it is impossible to know exactly when these two families originated, perhaps only the genealogy within their respective families faithfully records everything.

Chixia is located in Zhejiang, and the world-famous Chixia Academy is run by the Xie family.

And unlike Chen's style of acting in seclusion, Xie's disciples are all over the world, and in today's court, half of the officials have studied in Chixia Academy, and a quarter of the officials are loyal fans of Xie's family.

Yan Tingfeng wants to see Xie Chi is the son of the Xie family, he has the reputation of a prodigy when he was a child, he became a prodigy at the age of three, wrote a poem at the age of three, and won Xie Yuan in one fell swoop at the age of ten, a member at the age of twelve, and a champion at the age of fifteen, becoming the youngest champion in the history of the Great Xiao Dynasty.

After he won the champion, everyone thought that he would take the stick of Xie Yongyan Xie Lao Fu, who was preparing to pay tribute to the emperor, and enter the court.

Xie Chi is now twenty years old, but as long as he wants to be an official, even the new emperor will hold the official seal and ask him to be an official.

And although Xie Chi did not enter the court, he took over the relationship network of Mrs. Xie, if he wanted to move a small county order, it was just a sentence of effort.

In the afternoon, Yan Tingfeng's ship slowly docked in Lengquan County.

Du Yunnuan fell asleep after taking the medicine, sweating, and woke up when he was in Hong Kong, Ah Yuan happened to stay in front of the bed, and when he saw Du Yunnuan waking up, he was pleasantly surprised, "Miss Du, you are awake!" ”

Du Yunnuan nodded, and then felt that the underwear on his body was soaked with sweat, so he asked, "Sister Yuan, is there hot water on the boat now?" ”

"Yes, Miss Du, are you going to wipe your body? I'm ready, the ship is docking, it's not good to go down there and ask for water. Ah Yuan is a girl who can't talk idlely, and now she feels familiar with Du Yunnuan, and she talks more.

She poured the water from the clay pot that had been warmed on the stove in advance into the copper basin, took a clean cloth towel, and then wiped the sweat off Du Yunnuan's body, and brought a new set of clothes.

Du Yunnuan had long wanted to ask, "Sister Yuan, did you wear these clothes?" ”

Ah Yuan smiled, "This dress is so small, how can it be that I am wearing it?" It was Brother Hu who asked him to go to the ready-to-wear store in the county town last night to buy it, and I bought several sets at once, girl, don't worry. ”

Du Yunnuan couldn't help but feel moved by Hu Hui's carefulness.

With the help of Ah Yuan, Du Yunnuan changed his clothes, and when he was about to go out to take a look, Hu Hui happened to come over here.

"Miss Du, are you awake? We've arrived in Cold Spring County, and we're going to the county's manor to see how you're doing, and if you can come with us. ”

Du Yunnuan said that his health was much better, and there was no problem in hurrying.

Hu Hui smiled heartily, "What's the road, it takes less than a quarter of an hour to ride a horse from the dock to the manor, and it takes less than two quarters of an hour to take a car, if you can go, then we will get off the boat?" ”

"Okay."

Du Yunnuan followed Hu Hui off the boat, and then got into an inconspicuous carriage on the dock, she never saw Yan Tingfeng, so she asked, "Why didn't you see Master Hou?" ”

Hu Hui sat in front of the carriage as a coachman, "The master went ashore half an hour ago." ”

As for where he went, Hu Hui naturally wouldn't reveal it to Du Yunnuan, and Du Yunnuan wouldn't ask.

Hu Hui said that the manor is located in the suburbs of Lengquan County, the carriage passes through a village, there are about a dozen families in the village, it is the afternoon, there are many people working in the field, through the village is a large bamboo forest, after the carriage into the bamboo forest, Du Yunnuan feels as if he has lost his sense of direction.

Even time was stretched out here, and the strange feeling did not dissipate until the carriage drove out of the bamboo forest.

Hu Hui looked back at Du Yunnuan and frowned, grinning, "This bamboo forest is the same as the maze outside the valley last time, does Miss Du feel it?" ”

Du Yunnuan nodded hesitantly.

Hu Hui had already turned his head, "Miss Du, you are really powerful, ordinary people will not feel it at all when they enter this kind of maze for the first time, but Miss Du, you are different, you can feel something wrong every time, right?" ”

Du Yunnuan recalled the situation the last time she was in a daze, she did feel that something was wrong, but it was not as obvious as this time, this time her feeling seemed to be clearer.

"I don't know why, but I just think something is wrong."

Hu Hui smiled, "That's not bad, the first time I fell into a maze, it took a day and a night to not come out, and in the end my lord brought me out of it, I was hungry, tired and cold, and I almost didn't hold my lord's leg-"

The latter words were suddenly broken, not only Du Yunnuan, but Ah Yuan was also very curious, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Hu, what's wrong with you holding Hou Ye's leg?" ”

Hu Hui sneered, "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”

He wouldn't say that he hugged Yan Tingfeng's leg and cried tears, and was kicked away by Yan Tingfeng's disgusted kick!

Du Yunnuan felt that they had been in the bamboo forest for a long time, who knew that when Hu Hui drove the carriage to the gate of the manor, he said by the way, "Hey, a quarter and a half of hours, I walked quite fast this time." ”

"Have we only been gone for a quarter and a half hours?" Ah Yuan jumped down from the carriage and asked curiously.

"Yes, it's only a quarter and a half hours," Hu Hui said, pointing to the sundial at the gate of the manor, "Look there, we are the ship that has not yet been disembarked at the beginning of the first hour, and now there is still half an hour to reach the third quarter of the first month, but didn't we go for a quarter and a half hours?" ”

Du Yunnuan's eyes also fell on the sundial, and he was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that there was a sundial outside this manor, and there were not many people who could understand the sundial.

Just when Du Yunnuan was thinking wildly, the people in the manor walked out, "Brother Hu, you are here." ”

Hu Hui greeted the visitor, "Uncle Zhang, this is our lord's guest, we want to follow our lord for a while, please ask Uncle Zhang to arrange a room." ”
