At three o'clock on August 29, the two officials sent by the prefect of Lin were already waiting at Zeng Yu's residence outside the north gate, saying that the lord of the mansion was scheduled to sail at the right time, and asked Zeng Gongzi to pack up and rush to Sanjiang as soon as possible

Zeng Ruolan and the Zhu brothers, as well as Wu Chunze and others arrived at the house early to see off Zeng Yu, Zeng's mother Zhou originally wanted Sixi to follow Zeng Yu, Zeng Yu insisted on refusing, he can take care of himself outside, how can there be no manservant at home who answers the door-

Zeng Yu agreed one by one, and asked her sister Zeng Ruolan to find an honest and reliable cook to help as soon as possible......

At the beginning of the hour, Zeng Yu said goodbye to his mother, went out with a suitcase and a book, and the two officials hurriedly took the luggage from Zeng Yu's hand and said: "Zeng Xianggong, I will carry it for you, let's go quickly." ”

Niuniu stood in front of the door and said crisply: "Brother went all the way and returned safely." ”

Zeng Yuzu went back and rubbed his little sister's forehead, and said softly: "Niuniu, don't make your mother angry, read and write in the morning and evening." ”

Niuniu nodded obediently, but asked, "Is my brother going to Yingtan Qianqian's house this time?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "I want to pass through Yingtan, I will go to Qianqian's house to sit for a while, Niuniu has something?" ”

Niuniu said: "Last time, I told Qianqian that when we have our own home, we will invite her to be a guest, can my brother invite her this time?" ”

Zeng Yu smiled: "I will invite, I can't say if Qianqian can come." ”

The two officials who had already walked out of dozens of zhang turned their heads and shouted: "Zeng Xianggong, Zeng Xianggong, let's go, the mansion has already arrived at the dock." ”

Zeng Yu strode to catch up, Wu Chunze and the Zhu brothers were sent to the dock, and the two official three-lure fast boats were already moored on the shore, and after waiting for a while, the prefect Lin Guangzu, the Taoist priest of the Shangqing Palace, Qi Yun, and Yan Fu's companion Yan Yuechuan also arrived, and without saying anything else, they got on the boat and set off.

This goes to the Yingtan waterway for more than 200 miles, two three-oar fast boat official flag wind, official gong to open the way, several boatmen take turns to swing the oar, all the way smoothly, unimpeded, docked at the Yingtan Longtou Mountain Wharf in the evening, but see the maple forest on Longtou Mountain reflects the sunset like a cluster of flames, two months ago Zeng Yu boarded the boat from here back to Shangrao, the maple leaves are only yellow, and now it is the autumn dew cold maple leaves red -

Governor Lin was eager to see Yan Shifan, and he didn't rest overnight in Yingtan, so he directly asked the Yingtan Inspection Department to summon a sedan chair driver to rush to Shangqing Town, which was fifty miles away.

Zeng Yu ran to the Yingtan neighborhood to say hello to Zheng Shi, went in and kowtowed to Zheng's mother Lu, and came out after a few words, and he didn't prepare a gift in a hurry this time-

Zheng Shi followed Zeng Yu for a ride, asked about the situation, and laughed in a low voice: "Jiuli, you really want to go to Yanfu to be a Xixi, is this considered to be a tiger's den in Longtan, rich and dangerous." ”

Zeng Yu smiled: "What Xixi, it's just a companion reading." ”

Zeng Yu was in a hurry, Zheng Shi didn't say much, and told Zeng Yu to come back from Fenyi to reunite, Zeng Yu remembered the words of the little sister Niuniu, and said: "If the three idiot brothers have time, they can take Qianqian to Shangrao as a guest, and the little sister Niuniu misses Qianqian very much." ”

Zheng Shi said: "Let's talk about it when you return from Fenyi." "Wave goodbye.

Zeng Yu caught up with Lin Zhifu and his party, and the Yingtan Inspection Department also prepared a basket for Zeng Yu, Zeng Yu did not sit, he would rather walk, and his books and suitcases were carried by his own porters, where would he be tired when he walked empty-handed, and he was young enough to raise his body and not be diligent to do anything.

The water of the Luxi River is shallow, only the bamboo raft can not be floated at night, the line of Shangrao together with the sedan chair man, the porter more than 30 people arrived at Shangqing Town by land is already the end of the year, the lights of the people in the town have been thin, Lin Zhifu ordered not to alarm Zhang Dazhen and Yan Shilang, only arranged by the Qiyun Dao people to rest the night in the Da Shangqing Palace

After eating and washing, it was already the third watch, and Zeng Yu was arranged to rest in the Taisu Courtyard of the Great Shangqing Palace.

In the late autumn and light cold, Zeng Yu slept until dawn wrapped in a thin jacket, heard the sound of "rustling" sweeping the floor in the small courtyard, got up and opened the door, and saw that it was a little Taoist boy, so he asked: "Little fairy, do you know where the prefect Lin lives in which courtyard?" ”

Xiaodao Tong was twelve or thirteen years old, and when he heard Zeng Yu call him a little fairy child, he was a little shy, and said in his native voice: "In Qizhenyuan." ”

Zeng Yu said: "I'm tired of the little fairy boy to go and see if Governor Lin has gotten up, thank you, thank you." ”

This little Taoist boy put down the broom and went out, Zeng Yu went to the well by the courtyard to draw water to wash, felt that the well water has the fragrance of herbs, then remembered that Taisu Yuan is the place where Taoist priests plant medicine, the well is the back door of the yard, open the back door, it is the back mountain of the Great Shangqing Palace, there are several acres of medicine garden at the foot of the mountain, planted with angelica, Poria cocos, eucommia, honeysuckle, dendrobium, Ze Yuan, snake tongue grass, plantain and so on, the morning breeze blows, the medicinal fragrance refreshes the spleen, Zeng Yu is very familiar with these medicinal materials, like to smell this smell -

Xiao Daotong came back and said that Governor Lin hadn't gotten up yet.

Lin Zhifu, a man in his fifties, was in a hard hurry yesterday, and slept so late, he didn't expect to get up early, so he thanked Xiaodao Tong and went to Shitai Yam Garden for a walk alone.

The medicine garden is silent and unmanned, the birds and birds in the back mountain chirp, Zeng Yu picked up a piece of cypress branches, and waved it on the edge of a dendrobium field with a branch as a sword, remembering that many masters who have seen in martial arts novels like to hold big, break a branch and fight with people, the so-called flying flowers and picking leaves can also hurt people, Zeng Yu hates this kind of pretending to be a master the most, at this time, when the dancing branches dance all over the body, suddenly three times and two times the cypress branches in his hand were broken into several sections, just waiting for Ha Lu Ha Da Lu to laugh, suddenly heard someone "Ge" laughed:

"I'm crazy."

Zeng Yu was taken aback, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a small Taoist priest looking at him with a smile by the small door of the earthen wall of a small courtyard adjacent to Taisu Courtyard, this little Taoist priest looked handsome, his eyebrows and eyes were relatively separated, and this part of the face was called Tian Zhai Palace, generally speaking, wide is better than narrow.

Zeng Yu said "ah", threw away his hand and broke the branch, and took a few steps forward to say: "I don't know that Miss Guangwei is here, Xiaosheng is rude." ”

Zhang Guangwei, a noble lady with a natural road number, stepped out of the threshold, looked Zeng Yu up and down with a smile, and asked, "Did you arrive last night?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "Yes, I came with the prefect of Guangxin Lin, and it has been almost three shifts to Shangqing." ”

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Guangwei heard this, he suddenly turned his face and sneered: "The people who tend to be inflammatory, as soon as they hear the summons of the Yan family, they can't wait to come, right?" ”

The second monk Zeng Yuzhang was puzzled, and thought: "Where did I offend you, I was still smiling, and suddenly turned my face and didn't recognize people, this eldest lady of the Zhang family is arrogant, moody, and unreasonable." He said lightly: "I have made an appointment to go to Yanfu to be a companion, and since I have been called, of course I must come as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Guangwei, who was dressed in a female crown, stared at Zeng Yu with black and white eyes, looking very angry, but he had nothing to say, just angry and angry, and did not go back to the small courtyard with his sleeves, just stared at Zeng Yu in annoyance.

Zeng Yu looked at the small courtyard behind Zhang Guangwei through the earthen wall, but saw a few old cypress branches and leaves sparsely towering above the soil wall, as well as the triangular eaves of the thatched house, these old cypress trees are somewhat familiar, he once peed under the tree to commemorate the occasion, so he asked: "Miss Guangwei, how is the old master of Yuangang?" ”

Zhang Guang glanced at Zeng Yu slightly and did not answer.

At this time, the voice of the old Dao Yuangang came from the small door of the earthen wall: "Duolao Zeng Gongzi is worried, and the old Dao is still healthy." ”

While speaking, the old Taoist priest who was eighty-one years old and had a hair like silver stepped out of the small door and asked Zeng Yu to check the head, Zeng Yu hurriedly returned the salute, and was greeting him, and heard a woman in the courtyard shouting, "Miss, Miss Guangwei - Master, Master Yuangang?" ”

Zhang Guangwei jumped up like a frightened rabbit, showing that she had cultivated since she was a child, and her body was light and agile, and said to the old Dao Yuangang: "You're forcing me again, I'll hide first, and my senior brother will help me deal with it." He ran quickly towards the medicine garden.

Zeng Yu is inexplicable, who will this little aunt of a real person be afraid of, how can a mouse see a cat?

Lao Dao Yuangang smiled and beckoned: "Zeng Gongzi, you come, Lao Dao wants to take a hexagram for you, I missed it last time." ”

Zeng Yu followed Lao Dao Yuangang into the small courtyard, and the two women greeted him and blessed him: "Master, Mrs. Liu, please Miss Guangwei to return to the house immediately." ”

Lao Dao Yuangang said: "Naturally, I was discharged from the hospital early in the morning. ”

The two women looked at each other and said to Lao Dao Yuangang: "How is this good, Old Madam Liu instructed that Miss Guangwei must be found." ”

Lao Dao Yuangang waved the dust in his hand, and the dust tail drew an arc in the air, and said, "You go find yourself." ”

A fat woman said: "Old Madam Liu asked the maid to ask the old mage, has the old mage persuaded Miss Guangwei to transfer?" ”

Lao Dao Yuangang shook his head and said: "Naturally, I am strong in seeking Taoism, and I insist on refusing to marry, and Lao Dao can't persuade her." ”

The two women frowned, asked each other what to do, and begged Master Yuangang to follow them back to the Dazhen Mansion to restore their lives, the old Dao Yuangang was entangled by them and said to Zeng Yu: "Zeng Gongzi, that old Dao is out of company, Zeng Gongzi has time to come to divination again"

Zeng Yuxin said: "I didn't ask you for divination, nothing is not divination, only when you are confused and make a choice, you only need divination." I thought again: "Who does Zhang Tianshi's family want to marry Zhang Guangwei to, and Zhang Guangwei is so hiding and refusing to marry?" It can't be Yan Shifan, Yan Shifan's son? Yan Shifan has several sons—"

Zeng Yu shook his head, walked out of the ancient cypress courtyard, walked through the medicine garden, first went to the Qizhen Courtyard, asked the prefect of Zhilin just got up, was washing, about half an hour later went to the Dazhen Mansion, Zeng Yu returned to the Taisu Courtyard, the courtyard was deserted, only the fragrance of medicine was permeated.

Pushing open the wooden door, Zeng Yu packed up his books and clothes, and prepared to move to Qizhen Courtyard, so as not to wait to go to the Dazhen Mansion in a hurry, and suddenly found that the Zizhu Cave Flute hanging on the side of the wooden shelf of the Bamboo Bamboo was missing, this Zizhu Cave Flute was left by his uncle Mr. Shaolong, Zeng Yu specially returned to the old house of Ishida this time to bring it out, very cherished, why is it gone, last night when the official sent the book to this room, he clearly saw the Cave Flute hanging on the side, and he didn't pay attention when he went out, wouldn't it be the little Taoist boy who swept the floor took the Cave Flute to play, right?

Zeng Yu turned around and went out, and was about to go to Xiaodaotong to ask questions, when he suddenly heard a "woo" sound in the room, which was the sound of the dong flute, and it was the kind of straight "porphyr" flute sound that people who couldn't blow the flute

Make up for yesterday's first shift, and there will be a second shift in the early morning.
