A stone's throw in the stone square is the grand village gate of the six bays, and a copper lamp is hung on each of the six thick pillars, and the lamp is six kinds of mythical beasts with strange appearances - eagle, dragon, lin, phoenix, tiger, turtle.

The lights are bright, the village door is closed, and there are neither Zhuang soldiers nor door servants in the large entrance hall. The sound of the piano floated out from the deep courtyard, blending with the hazy mountain and moon, adding a bit of mystery to the courtyard in front of it.

Qi Zhong knocked on the door, but there was no sound. Ji Hu got out of the carriage, walked to the front of the village, concentrated for a moment, and clapped his hands with the music, and the sound of snapping was in line with the festival.

The music stopped abruptly. In a matter of moments, the door rumbled open.

"Huh? Sure enough, it's the old man of Chaoge! Woohoo god!" With an exclamation, the white-haired old Limbo walked out with a smile.

"Limber has a good memory!" Ji Hu exclaimed and bowed slightly: "Uninvited guest, there is a disturbance to the landlord."

Lin Bo glanced at Qi Zhong and Wei He, who were on the left and right, and hurriedly walked down the steps to support Ji Hu and said with a smile: "The son is such a noble person, and the landlord is so happy. Come, come in." Pulling Ji Hu and beckoning back: "Inform the elder, prepare wine!"

The young servant agreed, and walked away. At this time, he heard a long shout from the heights: "The distinguished guests are coming at night, and the lights are bright-" shouted and fell, and the lights in the village were lit, and suddenly there were cascading and scattered buildings and pavilions and rows of houses.

The triple wooden building nestled in the pine forest in the middle of the mountain is the main house of Lanzhuang. Entering the hall, a woman in a red dress was already neatly brewing tea. Ji Hu felt that his figure was a little familiar, but he didn't realize that this woman had stepped forward and bowed: "Uncle Sin Slave has seen a distinguished guest."

"You...... Is it really here?" Suddenly thinking of Lin Bo on his side, it was inconvenient to say more, so he only waved his hand: "The past has been written off, and I have to mention it again!"

"It turns out that Childe and her met, what a coincidence!" Limber smiled humbly.

Talking between Wei and Ji Hu took a seat. The copper plate in Shuyu's left hand and the basket in her right hand have arrived in front of her. The copper plate in the left hand is two tea cups and a copper kettle for tea, and the basket in the right hand is a tea stove and a box of charcoal.

In front of him, all kinds of things have been arranged in the blink of an eye: a copper kettle for tea has poured out two hot teas on the table, the delicate bronze tea stove has been set up on the table next to it, and the charcoal fire of the blue glow has been burned.

"Incense! Slippery! Whew!" Opening the teacup and taking a sip, Wei He praised and commented: "The fragrance is a little thick, the brown is green with red, the tea juice is slightly slippery, bitter in the front, sweet in the back."

"Childe is a good appreciator!" Lin Bo smiled happily: "This is a Zhenze tea sapling, more than 20 years ago, a few plants were brought back by foreign orchid merchants to plant here. When I pick tea leaves, I don't want to be much more powerful than my mother's tea, so I concentrate on eating and water, and ordinary people drink one or two cups, and their stomachs will croak."

After the cup of tea, Ji Hu really felt a ringing in his abdomen. Feeling embarrassed, Uncle Yu smiled and brought a plate of white and fluffy hu cakes: "This is Ma *** scones, it is best to order tea."

Ji Hu nodded and picked up one and ate it, his stomach suddenly felt comfortable, and seeing that Lin Bo was still by his side, his heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "There is a guest who comes to the door, but the owner of your house still refuses to see the guest as when he sings?"

Lin Bo was stunned for a moment, and arched his hand and said, "Gongzi Rongyu, the landlord instructed Lao Yu to serve the two sons for dinner first, and she came to see the guests. Because it was late at night, the people of Honzhuang had already had dinner, and they were afraid that they would ruin the children's food."

"In that case, let's invite the elders of the family to dinner!" Wei He interjected.

The old man Lin Bo was fine, how obedient he was, knowing that they had something to say, and it was inconvenient for him to be there. So he told his uncle to serve well, and he excused himself to go to the kitchen to prepare food, and took his leave.

After a period of silence, Ji Hu silently took out the Lan Pei from his arms and handed it to his uncle: "Gongzi Kun let Gu Zhao blow to you, this is a token. Come with us tomorrow to settle in Luojing!"

Uncle Fei stared at the Lan Pei, her beautiful eyes filled with tears: "Childe...... Is he okay? I knew that he still had to go back to Hubei......

After whimpering for a while, she suddenly raised her head: "Thank you for the grace of King Yuanyou, but since the servant has married Gongzi Kun, then where he is, the servant will be there." The servant didn't go anywhere, just waiting for him in Lanzhuang. If something really happens to him, then the servant will let him go!"

"You ......" Ji Hu felt a little discouraged, "Why do you have to do this?"

"The king does not know, I am a lowly man, and my life is like a mustard. It's the son who doesn't dislike it, and accepts me as his wife, I have nothing to repay, only life and death!"

The woman's eyes revealed incomparable firmness and determination, and Ji Hu said helplessly, "Really, you two are really the same stubborn!"

"So, isn't it a family that doesn't enter the door?" Wei He said lightly.

Ji Hu still had to be persuaded again, but he opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything, just sipped tea silently. Fortunately, Limber appeared in time, and the atmosphere did not continue to be solemn.

Under the six bright copper lamps, the two cases of wine and food were ready in a moment. Wei He sniffed inadvertently: "Wow! Is it a 100-year-old wine? It can make incense through the sea!"

Lin Bo smiled leisurely and nodded at the wooden wine sea in the middle of the two seats: "What Gongzi said is true, this wine is the century-old Fanguo wine, which was specially brewed when the old lady Jing Ji first got married, and was used as a gift wine for the wedding. The country was destroyed, the cellars were scattered, and the landlord bought three barrels of cellars, which have been around for nearly a hundred years."

Ji Hu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Sure enough, there is such a relationship, and it should be a big deal."

The uncle sat between the two cases, her mood was already calm, and she smiled at this time: "The two sons sit down, and the maid will pour wine for you."

As he spoke, he opened the lid of the heavy mahogany barrel, removed a layer of red cloth from the mouth of the barrel, and neatly waved a long wooden spoon to pour wine into the head of Jihu's desk first. Ji Hu drank dry, and the slender wine spoon in Shuyu's hand turned to Wei He, and a spoonful of sake poured into Jue Zhong like a silver thread......

Lin Bo saw Ji Hu and Jue frowning and drinking, as if he was absent-minded, and knew what he wanted, so he asked, "Do you want to rest for one night and see the landlord tomorrow?"

Wei He smiled, "Old man, there is no need to rest. In just over an hour before dawn, we will rush back to the camp! More than 100 people are waiting!"

"What?" Lin Bo was stunned: "How can there be a reason for the guests to leave the door for four watches? Come with me, two sons!"

Wei He waved his hand: "I won't go!" If you drink too much and want to take a break, you can take this son Hu to see the landlord!"

"That...... It's fine." Lin Bo instructed his uncle to take care of Wei He, and then led Ji Hu out of the hall.

Coming out of the main hall, the east head is a verdant stone path. Lin Bo led Ji Hu up the stone path, and gradually climbed a round mountain. Although the mountain is not steep, it is clearly the highest point in the valley, and even at night, the view is very open.

By this time, the manor's welcome lights had been extinguished, and the few remaining lights flickered in the rows of houses, making the valley, which was extremely compact during the day, seem distant and empty. A bright waning moon hung in the blue night sky, the sparsely falling stars twinkled overhead, and the wind in Xixi Valley swayed a long forest tao, like a person in the sky in a trance.

"What a waning moon!" Ji Hu stretched out for a long time, and breathed deeply, and suddenly his spirit was lifted.

"Childe is so perceptive!" Lin Bo smiled and said, "This is the Wanyue Pavilion, and the autumn night scenery is the best! The valley lord often said that the beauty of the waning moon is better than the full moon. Can Childe know the meaning of the valley master's words?"

"Now she's the valley lord again." Ji Hu muttered, sighing softly, "The crippled, everything is always the same. Although there is a period of profit and contraction, how many days is there when the moon is full? The valley lord sighed, it was the most reasonable!"

While the two were discussing, they suddenly heard a sound of the piano, and there was a sound...... Ji Hu clearly heard the sound of snowflakes falling on the bamboo again, like two pieces of beautiful jade gently colliding, making a gurgling sound...... This piano sound, this tune, is too familiar, it has often lingered in his ears for several years, isn't it the song he heard in Chaoge Buzhilou back then? Sure enough, it was her! Inexplicably, Ji Hu was a little nervous.

Under the waning moon pavilion, along the stone road west bend half an arrow, a wooden building leans at the foot of the mountain, leading to the wooden building is a small and delicate bamboo suspension bridge. The wind lights on the bridge are swaying, the water under the bridge is murmuring, and under the hazy waning moon, it is vaguely fairyland-like. The sound of the piano came from above the wooden building.

Ji Hu glanced at it and deliberately said in a loud voice, "I'm afraid that this building will cost a huge amount of gold!"

Lin Bo smiled indifferently: "Please go up to the suspension bridge, watch your step!"

After walking a few steps, Ji Hu stopped with a "pout" - it was clearly a bamboo bridge suspended in the air, but the two stepped on it without making a sound, and it was as solid as a stone road. Solid is solid, but the whole bridge is fluttering and swaying, like a hanging cradle.

Seeing Ji Hu stunned, Lin Bo explained, "The valley master was born in the Northland, and he was seasick. But in these years, the north and south have come and gone, and boats are inevitable. He deliberately built this strange bridge, and he came and went every day. It's strange to say, I won't get seasick after half a year."

Ji Hu exclaimed, "The wisdom of the valley lord is unique to the real soldiers."

After crossing the bamboo suspension bridge, there is the outdoor staircase of the wooden building, and the sound of emptiness is particularly clear in the quiet valley. Ascending to the highest three floors, Lin Bo said, "This is the valley master's music room, but the son can't wear boots. Thank you for your understanding!"

Ji Hu smiled slightly, bent down and took off two leather boots, revealing a pair of white high-waisted cloth socks: "The music room is clean, it should be like this."

Lin Bo had an apologetic smile on his face: "It is inconvenient for the old man to enter, so it is convenient to wait for the son downstairs, but if there is any order, call immediately."

Ji Hu nodded, pushed the door and walked in. The music room is white, with white walls and white tents, and two large mahogany cases in the middle, one plan is covered with a white silk, and the other case is a guqin. Ji Hu suddenly heard a gasp, suddenly raised his head, and his heart couldn't help jumping! Behind the large purple screen, a black shadow leisurely turned out - wearing a black robe with a collar and a black veil hanging from his face, standing motionless behind the piano case opposite.
