So everyone flocked to Fancheng to buy Qi Xuan, and transported it back to China one by one, and asked the master craftsman to cut the wedding dress and the colored curtain of the chartered car.

But Qi Su is also known as Su Su, which is as white as snow! This is marriage, not mourning, it must be dyed! What color is good for dyeing? Zhenghong is exclusive to the queen, which cannot be transgressed, and the rest of the colors are casual. But I don't know what color King Zhou likes? If a person carelessly chooses the color that King Zhou hates the most, wouldn't it be self-defeating? So, everyone went to ask Rong Yi again.

Rong Yi was old and sophisticated, stroked his beard and said lightly: "Zhou Shanghuode, the king naturally loves vermilion the most, but this is the exclusive color of the main palace, and the concubine can't be used. So, naturally, it's a fragrant car with a beauty......

Everyone thought about it for a long time, some people didn't understand the essentials, and some people suddenly opened their mouths and reacted differently.

In the first month of the new year, a wagon left the gate of Fancheng and walked calmly on the snowfield.

After walking for a while, twilight came, and I saw the piercing poplar forest in front of me faintly red in the soft sunset. The rider turned around and said, "Your Excellency, it should be Langu ahead."

Chen Envoy woke up suddenly, rubbed his eyes and jumped out of the car: "Yes, it's Lan Gu! You drive forward, and I'll take a look at it from behind."

The driver agreed, and the cart went leisurely. Chen stretched his waist for a long time and walked away in the snow in the cold and red wilderness. Although the snow is heavy, the plains are already extremely deserted, and there are almost no abrupt and conspicuous things, if it were not for the huge word "Orchid Valley" engraved on the boulder, no one would be able to find this mysterious place.

"My lord, the door of the village is closed, I should make a statement first." The driver had already parked the car outside the village, but the person had been following Chen Envoy from a distance when he returned, and when he saw that the sunset had faded and the sky was dark, he came to remind.

"Hehe, no." Chen Envoy suddenly smiled: "The rules here have already been inquired clearly, just a ringing arrow."

The driver agreed, and with a wave of his sleeves, a short arrow flew sharply and flew towards the big red wind lamp of the Zhuangmen watchtower. In a moment, I heard a long cry from the watchtower: "There are guests who buy incense, open the door of the village-" The call fell, the heavy gate of the village rumbled open, and a suspension bridge creaked at the same time, and it collapsed on the snow.

"Wait." Chen Envoy waved his hand to the driver who started the carriage and horse: "Follow me." Strode onto the suspension bridge.

As soon as the people, carriages and horses passed, the suspension bridge behind them had already creaked loudly, and there was another long shout from the watchtower: "Your honorable guest's name and surname——"

Chen Envoy replied loudly: "Sent by Mrs. Chen Hou, the retainers of the concubine family are also."

The red light of the watchtower is three big swings on the left and right: "Distinguished guests enter the village, and the door of the village is closed——"

In fact, although this Langu is the industry of the Nanlin Society, it is not only the people in the society who live in it, but also the farmers and orchid pickers who are attached to the Langu, plus the servants of each family, and all the craftsmen of more than 10 workshops in the village that make orchid paste and incense every day, with a total of more than 300 households and more than 2,000 mouths. As the business of Langu became more and more prosperous, the estate was built like a small city.

If you take the scale of the ordinary city of the Western Zhou Dynasty - a city of three miles and a Guo of five miles, this Langu Manor is undoubtedly at least a city. There are more than 10 alleys on the three main streets of Zhuangzhong, all of which are bluestone slabs of one color, and there are many old trees on both sides of the street. In the winter season, the sun sets, and the lights in the village are very sparse, but with the misty white light of the thick snow, the cleaning pattern of the manor is still clearly visible.

Chen Envoy sat in the chariot, and there was a young servant in front of him holding a wind lantern to guide the way, walking through the streets and alleys, turning a few intersections, and arriving at an old mansion in the middle of the manor. Obviously, he had received the light signal of the Zhuangmen watchtower, the door of the old house had been wide open, the foyer was lit with two wind lanterns, and an old man with white hair was waiting in the snow under the steps.

As soon as he saw Chen Envoy, the old man gave a deep salute: "When the distinguished guest comes to the door, he is disrespectful and disrespectful!"

When Chen saw the old man six steps in front of the hall door, he was wearing a bamboo crown on his head, and he had a solemn and solemn dignity in his life. This salute is a tribute to the first friend, and he hurriedly bowed down from afar, and said solemnly in the form of a holding in the void: "Yu Ze regrets that there is no pheasant to respect, and I would like to see the Lord of Langu Valley on the order of Gong Chen."

Although it is only a few sentences, it is very exquisite. According to the ancient Zhou etiquette: when the first time the scholar meets, the master should be dressed

Qi Chu welcomes him, and those who come should take pheasants as gifts; Live pheasants with long feathers are used in winter, and air-dried pheasants are used in summer; According to the season, the person who came faced north held the pheasant in his hands to the master, and the pheasant's head was facing left, and the salutation was "A certain person also wants to see, there is no way to reach it, and a certain son will see it with his life."

This Chen envoy Yu Ze is also a well-educated person, and when he saw the other party wearing a crown, he replied with this ancient ceremony, just to see how the old man responded.

Unexpectedly, the old man only smiled: "Your Excellency misunderstood, the old man is not the owner of the valley, but just greets the master on behalf of the master."

"Oh, the dignity of the driving is extraordinary, just like an immortal, what kind of immortal is the valley master, who can drive the emperor?" Yu Ze was really surprised.

The two laughed loudly and entered the main hall one after another. A case of delicacies is ready: a stack of burnt bread and a pot of fat beef bone tea. The old man pointed to the big case: "The distinguished guest has come from afar, thinking that he is cold and hungry, so he will eat a little coarse food first, and the valley master will come later."

"I didn't expect that in the hinterland of the Central Plains here, there are Hu people's delicacies, which is rare!" Yu Ze sighed, he was indeed a little hungry all the way, so he sat down unceremoniously and got up.

Beef bone tea is a dry powder made by the Hu people based on beef bone broth and butter, with Chung Mai noodles and Beidi coarse tea, commonly known as "fried oil noodles". Hu people but go far away, three skins are necessary, horses, beef bone tea, Hu biscuit meat. Horses quench their thirst at any time, and beef bone tea and biscuit meat are the main food for camping and picnic.

Yu Ze is also a well-informed person who travels south and north, every time he drinks a sip of beef bone tea, he chews a bite of crispy yellow flour cake, and a large basin of snoring and sweating on his forehead and forehead, and his whole body is extremely comfortable.

When the old man saw that he had finished eating, he personally poured a cup of hot tea and held it to his desk, and then he smiled humbly and said, "Have you made up your mind to buy it?"

"Buy." Yan Ze only faintly said one word.

The old man immediately turned around and bowed solemnly to the large mahogany screen in the hall: "The guest has already decided."

Suddenly, a soft and beautiful laughter came from behind the mahogany screen: "Mr. is really worthy of being the special envoy of Duke Chen, with a noble bearing, and it is extraordinary."

Yu Ze was surprised: "I didn't expect that the famous Lord of Langu Valley turned out to be a woman, so I was disrespectful."

"Whether the valley owner is a man or a woman, there is no harm in buying and selling. When you first set foot in it, you dare to ask what kind of vanilla you want?"
