Volume 1 The North of the River and the Mountains Chapter 19 The First Village in the World
In the autumn in the south of the Yangtze River, the water in the rivers is soft and weak, and occasionally it rains, which is also a soft feeling, not at all as vicious and sentimental as the autumn rain in the north.
Suzhou Mansion is more than 300 miles away from Jinling, and the footsteps of chasing the wind for thousands of miles can be reached in one day.
Where can Chu Liufeng's mount keep up, and it was the evening of the second day when the two arrived at Suzhou Mansion.
The vast Taihu Lake lies on the richest land of the Ming Empire.
The fishing song is sung late, the fishing fire is lit, and it is the fairy world that sets off the night of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the enchanting and amorous Qinhuai River is a little cheesy compared with Taihu Lake.
Just like Yongning's solemn atmosphere, and Yangxi is really willful and casual, Chu Liufeng thought of this, and felt that something was not appropriate, if he really knew that I thought so, there would be endless quarrels along the way.
Chu Liufeng couldn't help laughing, Yang Xizhen in front of him had already pulled Wanli Chasing the wind.
"Chu Liufeng! Seeing that you look like a small village man in the countryside, you even know that official girl, it really makes me underestimate you. What are you laughing at, are you thinking about the woman who became a nun again? ”
Yang Xizhen has already made a preemptive strike, and she likes to find trouble when she has nothing to do.
"You're here to tease me again, I'll be your friend, and I'll accompany you to this Suzhou Mansion, and you still won't let go."
No matter how good Chu Liufeng's patience is, he is still a little angry.
"Haha! You just don't want to be teased, Miss Ben is playing with you, you can take it seriously, okay, the front is here, I invite you to have a drink. ”
"I don't drink."
Chu Liufeng looked serious.
"It's really a disappointment, by the way, you don't drink, then drink tea, tonight I drink West Lake Longjing, there is something in the village, I have to go to Hangzhou every month to buy some back."
"What Zhuangshang?"
"Don't ask, it's only a few miles away, you'll know when you get there."
Yang Xizhen urged the horse to run straight forward.
————————
There are several low peaks on the shore of Taihu Lake, and a manor house is enclosed in the middle, which is brightly lit.
When Chu Liufeng approached, someone had already taken the reins.
What kind of place is this, Chu Liufeng looked up and looked at the manor door plaque.
"The first village in Jiangnan!"
Walking in, the servants and the guards at the gate of the manor were all the same old men, all armed with martial arts.
There is a memorial arch in front again, and under the lights at night, the two big characters on it are even more conspicuous.
"Liuzhuang!"
"This is the gate of the manor, hehe."
Yang Xizhen stopped, pointed to the "Liuzhuang" and Chu Liufeng and said.
"Where's the first village in Jiangnan outside?"
"The first time I came to Jiangnan, I heard that the White Lotus Sect's Mingyue Villa is the first village in the world, and the Ming Dynasty started two hundred years ago, and the White Lotus Sect has made great contributions.
The people in the rivers and lakes are impressed by Mingyue Villa, my ancestor was one of the top five in the world back then, why do I have to give his old man's Liuzhuang, get the first village in Jiangnan to play, your first village in the world is also in Jiangnan, I am the first in Jiangnan, which is the real first in the world, haha! ”
Yangxi's real eyebrows danced, but Chu Liufeng couldn't cry or laugh.
"Miss! The wine and food have been arranged, and I will know when you arrive at the Taihu Lake boundary. ”
The old man in front of him said half-bowed.
"Please sit down, Chu Liufeng! Fifth grandfather, your old man also sit down and have a drink together. ”
The fifth grandfather and Chu Liufeng arched their hands and sat down.
"They are all the disciples of my ancestor back then, my ancestor has been gone for many years, and the old people are still staying here, so it's okay, I also have a home when I go to Jiangnan."
Yang Xizhen finally said something serious, and looked up at the opposite wall again.
"Where the armor is hung, there is no armor to hang, the eldest lady came south this time, but do you have some eyebrows? Where is the Lord of the Yang Gate? ”
The fifth grandfather took a sip of wine and asked.
"You old man, the first thing I do every time I come is it, I have traveled all over the country, but I haven't even seen a shadow. Daddy has gone to the border again, and he is worried about the national crisis, so he can't take care of these things for the time being. ”
The fifth grandfather looked a little depressed, and he also looked at the wall in a daze. After a while, he said:
"For more than ten years, I have been thinking about it day and night, thinking that the divine object can come back, which can be regarded as a sacrifice to your ancestor. I'm afraid I'll never see it again in my lifetime! ”
The fifth grandfather actually shed tears.
Chu Liufeng was a little moved, is the divine object of the Divine Clothes and Flying Armor so important?
"Your ancestor Liu Shenyi relied on it to become one of the five uniques in the world, and the Shenyi Gate has today, which is also a great achievement of this divine object!"
The fifth grandfather was still babbling, and Yang Xizhen drank the wine one by one and ignored it.
At this moment, the sound of drumming from outside came in.
"It's so late, and it's still so noisy."
Zhenzhen looked up and stared outside.
"The waiter of the Jingshi Rite Department is called Tanhualang, Qian Qianyi Lord Qian is back, his house is not far from here, and this time he brought a maid and said that he was going to do a partial house.
The maid Liu is like this, she was bought by the Chen family in Taohuawu next to her, and she will go to give gifts and sing again. ”
"This money official came here, no wonder I can't find him to carry a sedan chair for me. Chu Liufeng, he is also your colleague, why don't you go and congratulate him. ”
Really with a wicked smile.
"This Lord Xiao Chu is also an official, didn't you say that he is the person of the Mao Sect Master of Mingyue Villa."
The fifth grandfather drank a few sips of wine, his face turned red, and there were tear stains hanging in the corners of his eyes.
"He is an official in all his divisions, so he must be unwilling to lag behind."
Chu Liufeng was thinking in his heart, isn't your senior brother and second senior brother the same, but he doesn't want to worry about Zhenzhen.
"That's right, Fifth Grandpa! The grain and grass are all ready, and when I came south, my father also said that it would be transported to Chang'an City first, and then pulled up Kunlun Mountain by the camel caravan. The Northwest has been dry for many years, and we are all going hungry. ”
"Didn't they pull it away a few days ago, they brought the letter written by your Uncle Huang, I have read it, it is the font of a carefree child."
"That's good, there will be food and drink this winter, and the people in the northwest will not have to be hungry and cold. Thank you, Grandpa Five! ”
I was really happy, I raised my glass and saluted to the fifth grandfather, I finally did a big thing when I came to Jiangnan, but in fact, this matter has nothing to do with her.
The old man became happy, gulped down, and no longer bothered to mention the matter of the flying armor of the gods.
————————
At this moment, someone from outside walked in, followed by two old men from the village.
The person who came was a woman, dressed in yellow, and looked like a dusty servant.
"Why are you here, Sister Long! Sit down and drink, do you know I'm here? ”
Really got a little drunk and said hello.
"I'm here to urge grain and grass, and there was a little trouble on the way, and I was delayed for a few days. Ay! ”
Sister Long sat down, poured herself full of wine and drank it.
Chu Liufeng looked at it in a daze, are the people in this Shenyi Gate all drunkards.
The fifth grandfather couldn't sit still anymore, Huo De stood up and shouted, "Long Jinjiao! What did you say? You came to urge the grain and grass, who was the one who came before? ”
Yang Xizhen and Chu Liufeng both had changed complexions.
"In Jingkou, my baggage was stolen, and Uncle Huang's letter was also taken away, and then a strange person pestered me for a few days, so it was delayed."
Long Jinjiao looked dazed and a little panicked.
"Hey! My 100 carts of grain and grass, and my men and horses. ”
The fifth grandfather sat on the ground and beat his chest.
"What's that weird guy like?"
Chu Liufeng suddenly asked.
"It's an old man, his body is unbelievably fast, and his martial arts are not below Zuo Huang's two uncles. Fortunately, he didn't hurt me, and there should be other people in his accomplices. ”
Long Jinjiao looked at Chu Liufeng strangely, and said in a hurry.
"He's my friend Chu Liufeng, Sister Long."
When Long Jinjiao said that it was almost over, she really said it.
"What kind of people are they who come to get grain and grass?"
Chu Liufeng picked up the fifth grandfather who was sitting on the ground and asked gently.
"A man and a woman, very young, similar to you, it is said that Huang Xiaoyao is a person, and he has only joined Shenyimen for half a year."
The fifth grandfather opened his mouth wide and sprayed wine, the wine was not drunk, and the person was already drunk.
"Alright, alright! Tomorrow, we will start to raise another hundred carts of grain and grass, and the Shenyi family has a big business, so we still care about this. ”
After saying that, the fifth grandfather blew his beard angrily and stared at him, but it was not good to have a seizure.
At this time, the sound of drums outside was loud again.
"Chu Liufeng! Let's go and see the excitement, your rich official is going to get married, and you don't say that you should send some congratulatory gifts. ”
The fifth grandfather staggered after him, asking, "What about the remnant sun child?" Does he have any news? ”
It's so lively outside, really where to care about what the fifth grandfather says, holding Chu Liufeng's hand, he has already crossed the courtyard wall.
Who is Remnant Sun?
At this time, the full moon is like a wheel, and the starry sky is brilliant.
Where is there still the remnant sun like blood, it is a scenery that only exists in the evening!
