The summer days are gradually lengthening, and although the summer solstice has passed, the days still stay longer.

Wang Yu stopped his chopsticks and fell into thought. If it weren't for Liu Shuangying's "Xianggong", he would still be in a daze there. Wang Yu felt a little out of shape, so he said: "Please forgive me, I am in a daze for my husband, I am thinking about things in the garden......"

"I see...... Xianggong, try this dish," Liu Shuangying said as she put some vegetables into her bowl.

Wang Yu said: "Thank you, lady." Then he went back to eating.

Today's day has come to an end, the moon is slowly rising, and it is a different moon phase, there is no rainy night sky, and the moonlight lights up the night sky again. The light of the stars was much less, but the clarity of the moonlight still illuminated the night sky very brightly.

The moon is cold, not as hot as the sun, the sun and the moon are opposite, and the moon is called the cloud. The cold of the sun made the whole summer night a little cooler. Wang Yu and Liu Shuangying got up, and the little people outside the moon gate came out to greet each other. The little servants led Wang Yu and his wife out of the moon gate and walked to another place.

I saw that there was another path behind the moon gate, and there was only some grass on both sides of the road, and because of the moonlight, Wang Yu and his wife could see clearly. After everyone stepped on the path of the grassland, they smelled the fragrance everywhere, and at this time, some fluorescent objects rose on the grass next to them, and I don't know what they were. Liu Shuangying saw that the eyes were full of joy on both sides of the road, and she had seen enough surprises today, but she knew that when she left, she could see a strange scene again.

Wang Yu asked, "Dare to ask the little brother, what is the name of this wonder?"

The little guy next to him said: "Official, this thing is 'night poplar flower', whenever the moonlight rises, such flocculent fluorescent grass will be raised in the grass, and when the moon is not full today, if the moon is full, the fluorescence here will be more beautiful." ”

Wang Yu smiled: "Hahaha...... The owner of your manor wants to make many people forget to return, there are a lot of manors in the capital, but it is as strange and beautiful as this, or the first place. It's a pity that I couldn't go through the ninety-nine moon gates and taste the food and wine of your manor today, which is a pity. ”

The little guy said: "If the official has Yaxing, you can learn from Master Lu over there, and next time you will charter the manor over there to enjoy it." ”

Wang Yu said: "It's really all businessmen, hahaha...... Today's money, we will have the General's Mansion send it all. This is your reward, and the brothers who lead the way today must all be sent to their hands, and they must not be neglected."

The little guy took Wang Yu's reward and immediately thanked him: "Thank you for the reward, the little one will definitely send this silver to all the brothers."

The servants sent Wang Yu and his wife out of the manor, and it happened that the carriage and horses had been led there, and it was also the carriage of the general's mansion. Wang Yu helped Liu Shuangying into the carriage, and the carriage left the manor. Immediately, Wang Yu said: "Let the official family send money to the manor during the day tomorrow." ”

Liu Shuangying said: "The manor brought me here by Xianggong today is really beautiful, with wonderful scenery everywhere, flowers everywhere, food and wine, everything. The princess has a heart, and the concubine is here to thank you. ”

Wang Yu held Liu Shuangying's hand, took it into his arms, and said, "You and I are husband and wife, why bother to say thank you." This is the husband's business. Today, the lady is still a little restrained, and she has seen so many wonders, but she has always been talking to her husband and Feng Zhuang, and the lady has always only been watching the scene, and there are many words that come to her mouth, but she holds it back. ”

Liu Shuangying leaned on Wang Yu's chest and said, "The concubine is already your wife, how can you not keep the woman's way?

Wang Yu said: "To be my wife, you don't need to have such rules. In the future, when traveling with the lady, the lady can let go a little more, it doesn't have to be like this......"

When the carriage and horse arrived at the general's mansion, after the two entered the door, they first visited their parents, and then went directly back to the room. At this time, a carrier pigeon happened to fall in the courtyard, Wang Yu immediately took the carrier pigeon and entered the room with Liu Shuangying.

The lights in the room were beating, and after Wang Yu read the letter on the desk in the outhouse, he immediately burned it. Wang Yu closed his eyes, immediately waved his pen on the manuscript paper to write, and immediately put the note behind the pigeon's feet after writing, and immediately released it.

Seeing this, Liu Shuangying said: "Xianggong, is there another letter from the palace?"

Wang Yu looked at the oil lamp and nodded, and said, "Yes, the investigation has been obstructed again." Those eunuchs in the Internal Affairs Department are really unreliable...... Not to mention, today's lady is tired of walking all the way, so get some hot water for your husband, freshen up and go to bed to rest. ”

Liu Shuangying said: "Thank you. ”

Then Wang Yu went out, and she had a love for Wang Yu for everything she did, but she was only a little puzzled by the fact that she had not let her subordinates serve her. Liu Shuangying knew that the subordinates were all bought to serve the masters, and these subordinates all signed a deed of sale, which was in line with the laws of the imperial court, but I don't know why Wang Yu was so resistant. She always thought that Wang Yu would have a girl who had a room, but from Wang Yu's mouth, she knew that Wang Yu had not had a girl since she could remember, and then her parents wanted to match her with one, but he never wanted it, and his parents were all up to him.

Liu Shuangying was a little puzzled, but she had some other thoughts: Could it be that Wang Yu didn't like Fengyue at all? While he was thinking, Wang Yu took the basin of water to the room and said, "Lady, the water is coming."

The brightly lit General's Mansion, the houses everywhere became dark as the night progressed. The lights in Wang Yu's room were the last to go out.

At this time, the lights of all the houses in the capital had been extinguished, and the streets had stopped being noisy, and there were only some frogs and crickets chirping. Clouds gradually covered the night sky, and it seemed as if it was going to rain at night. The rain hit the tiles, and it rained. If it falls overnight, you think that the heat wave during the day can be suppressed by the rain.

On the steps in front of the Moon Dragon Pavilion, rain fell down the eaves. Clothed in a robe

The guards did not alternate shifts in the Moon Dragon Pavilion. After Guo Yu explained the matter of the guard's night patrol on a rainy night, the guards exchanged shifts.

In the council room, there are more markings on the sand table, which are the waterways of the rivers in the palace. Although Pu Mu and the others asked Gonggong Pan to assist in handling the case in front of the emperor, and although Gonggong Pan also informed the commanders of the Ouchi about the eunuchs placed everywhere in the Ouchi, the two eunuchs described by Chen Renhai were not remembered by Gonggong Pan for a while.

In this way, the clue was broken again, so Chen Renhai proposed to find another way, from the rivers in various places in the palace to find out that the two eunuchs jumped into the river that day and disappeared, how could there be such a coincidence, I think it was from the river to dive back to the palace, but I don't know why? Pu Mu remembered that someone had falsely spread the Empress Dowager's decree that day, so he also agreed to check from here, so everyone began to investigate the waterways in various places in the palace, and looked at the rivers outside the Suzaku Gate, and circled the waterways one by one.

The carrier pigeon in the pigeon cage jumped a few times, and the letter it brought was very important, fortunately, it sent the letter back to the Moon Dragon Pavilion before the rain came, otherwise the letter on its feet would be wet according to the momentum of the rain.

The letter paper was placed in the corner of the sand table, Pu Mu looked at the direction of the three princes' bedrooms on the sand table, and there was a list of the big and small eunuchs around the three princes given by Pan Gonggong Pan Gonggong knew that the eunuchs in the three imperial palaces, and all the internal officials he sent that day also came to the Yuelong Pavilion to let the commanders inspect it, but Chen Renhai did not recognize the two people who jumped into the water from the Suzaku Gate that day and disappeared from the traces, but Chen Renhai did see them among the eunuchs who gave gifts at the banquet.

Chen Renhai naturally asked the chamberlains who came to give gifts, and everyone said that the palace only sent them.

Such a contradiction, could it be that Chen Renhai was wrong, but Wang Yu's letter let them all know that they were right, it must be the other party who used some kind of trick, or the people who came were all the people of the prince in the palace, and the gifts given by everyone together deliberately did not mention those two.

The rain was still falling on the eaves, and down the stone steps.

"Junyi Manor, why don't we wait for a disguise to infiltrate Junyi Manor to investigate, can the gardener be found out by us?"

Chen Renhai thought for a while, and then said: "Listening to what Brother Wang said in the letter, there are ninety-nine moon gates in this villa, and there are many flower houses, and I may not be able to see those two gardeners if I wait." ”

Duan Gan said treacherously: "That's true, if we are disguised, there is no reason to go to see the two florists." Why don't we wait for the official name to go and say that I heard that there are skilled craftsmen in the manor, so we want to see the style. ”

Long Xiangtian got up and said, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult, what if those two people are not in the manor?"

Pu Mu said: "Those eunuchs said that they hadn't seen those two, but Brother Chen and Brother Wang both saw those two, this must not be the two of them in my eldest house who looked away." This will definitely find out the strange."

"How should we act?" said Poplar.

Guo Yu said: "I think I will wait for the soldier to divide into two ways, all the way to Junyi Manor, and all the way to stay in the palace to explore the waterway?"

Long Xiangtian said: "This waterway is set up by the Ministry of Industry and the military weapons together, and there are no drawings in Kaiqi's hands. The Ministry of Industry said that it was sent to the Yuelong Pavilion in the morning of the Ministry of Industry, and there are many drawings of the Ministry of Industry, and in the past few days, Shen Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry has come out to inspect the work, and Zhao Shilang is the general leader of the Ministry of Industry.

Guo Yu said: "If it's late, I want to delay the investigation." ”

Pu Mu asked, "What does Brother Guo mean by this?"

"There are disputes between forces in the palace, and I think there will be six officials involved, not to mention anything else, the corruption case of the Ministry of Rites will not involve the princes in the palace forming a party for personal gain. As soon as Yu Qing's letter came out this time, the emperor asked me to start investigating and dealing with the case of the prince in the palace. Judging from the fact that the prince is deliberately trying to make it difficult for us to enter Beijing, the officials of the Ministry of Rites will not be officials who he only wants to win over. Guo Yu said.

Chen Renhai said: "What Brother Guo said is reasonable, the prince has plans to let his subordinates enter the inner house, I think all the ministries already have his power, this time, we should pull it out." "After that, I knocked on the bedrooms of the princes in the palace on the sand table.

Long Xiangtian said: "Then how will we divide the troops into two ways tomorrow?"

Chen Renhai said: "I know those two people, why don't I, Brother Pu, and Brother Duan go to the other three." How about Brother Long, Brother Bai, Brother Guo, and Brother Li investigating the waterways in the palace together?"

Everyone had no doubts, but after a few casual explanations, they all went back to the barracks to rest.

The day is bright, and the clouds have not dispersed today.

In the Junyi Manor, another group of guests came. This morning, General Hu Ben's Mansion sent someone to send the money, and before Feng Ling's bill was delivered to the General's Mansion, Wang Yu sent the money. Feng Ling counted it himself, and it was a hundred taels of silver. He smiled at the silver, worthy of a big family, came here to enjoy the garden for a day, and actually paid so much money. He only counted thirty taels of silver in his account, and Wang Yu had already rewarded the little servant, and he actually paid out a hundred taels of silver.

This is the purpose of Feng Ling's coming to the capital to do this business, and there are many princes and nobles, and many people don't know what silver is. Maybe a few dozen taels of silver is a big expense for many ordinary people, but for the Lu family yesterday, it was just a reward for the small servant's money.

It costs one hundred and fifty taels of silver to cover half of the manor, but the silver that came this morning is a full three hundred taels of silver. In addition, even the little boy of the Lu family yesterday casually gave his money to the little guy in the manor, such a spacious place, coupled with strange scenery and delicious meals, such a business, how can it be difficult to do such a gift?

If the business is good, there will be more customers, and it is no longer just simple customers

The Lu family in the capital has already come here, how can those businessmen who are not satisfied with the Lu family not talk about pomp and circumstance here? This is some of the battles between their merchants, which seem to tell the people of the whole capital how big their business is, how thick their property is, this kind of behavior seems extravagant, and there are also merchants' own reasons, these big treasurers will bring their cronies, that is, business partners, to come together, so that the rest of the opponents can see, they will inevitably be a little envious, so that some merchants can recruit talents here, expand their business involved, and the money can be recycled.

There were three people here today, and all three of them were dressed as scholars, but the little guy didn't watch people put down dishes like those guys in the green building, and saluted the three of them, and said, "The three gentlemen came to play in the garden today, I don't know what scenery they want to enjoy?"

One of them said, "What kind of scenery is there to enjoy here?"

The little guy led the three people into the door and said: "Three gentlemen, there are ninety-nine moon gates in my manor, and there are different wonders at each moon gate, and there are different delicacies at the strange scenes, I don't know where the gentlemen want to enjoy?" Although this little guy is polite, it is very different from what he said to Wang Yu and his wife, and the little guy saw Wang Yu's official boots and the hairpin on Liu Shuangying's head, and the objects they wore on their hands knew that these two people were either rich or expensive. And the three people in front of him are all dressed in regular clothes, and the ornaments they wear are all cheap goods, I think it's just some scholars who come here to play, and they are not too rich, so the little guy said this.

Feng Ling and all the little guys have words, not to belittle any guests who come here, but also need to look at the grade of the guests, and arrange a suitable amusement park for the guests.

Another said: "I wonder what wonders there are in this manor for me to enjoy?"

The little guy pointed to the flower curtain in front of him and said, "This is one place." ”

"What does this view say?"

The little guy said: "There is a flower arrangement in this flower curtain, please come with me."

The three of them immediately followed the little guy into the flower curtain, and the flower curtain was still the same scenery, and the three of them were full of praise, praising the beauty of the flowers and the fragrance of the air.

The little guy continued to lead the three out of the flower curtain, and there were seven or eight moon gates in front of him, and the little guy said: "Everyone, the moon gate in front of you is the way to enter the village, and each moon gate has a wonder, and the successive moon gate is the next wonder, I don't know which way the gentlemen want to go?"

The three of them looked at different places in the moon gate, and someone said: "Then I'll wait to see the little brother's arrangement" After that, a string of copper coins in the man's hand was put into the hands of the little guy, and the little guy was naturally happy to receive the copper coins, but compared to those rich merchants, this string of money was indeed a little less, but these rewards were enough for him to drink two glasses of wine. The little guy said, "A few gentlemen, please come here."

As he spoke, he led everyone into a moon gate, where there was a waterwheel pond, and there were some lotus flowers blooming on the pond, which were very fragrant, and this fragrance was different from the usual lotus flowers. The little guy led the three of them to walk around the wooden road, watching around the waterwheel, and the little guy said: "Everyone, please see, this lotus flower flows with the pool, this scene is called 'rotating lotus', this lotus is a rootless flower, and it goes with the water." And this lotus flower is very fragrant......"

One of them interrupted the little man's words and said, "Little brother, I guess this lotus flower is nourished by the unique things in this pool." ”

The little guy was taken aback and said slowly, "Sir...... Do you know what is hidden in our pool?"

"How can this lotus flower live without roots? Such a clear water exudes a fragrance, this is not the fragrance of lotus flowers, little brother, am I right?" said the man.

The little guy said, "How did Mr. know?"

The man laughed and said, "I also know that there is something else in your water." ”

The little servant didn't dare to speak at this time, he didn't expect that the scholar in front of him would know the secret of their manor that had never been told to the outside world. The little guy said, "Sir...... Do you know what's in the water?"

The man said: "There are 'tadpoles' hidden in the water. Am I telling the truth?"

The little guy exclaimed: "The three gentlemen want to come and hide it, hurry up here, please."

After that, the little guy led the three of them out of the moon gate together, and in the other courtyard is a rockery pavilion, the rockery is full of climbing flower vines, the flowers and vines are strange, and the little guy leads the three people to sit on the water pavilion. Then he said: "Wait a minute, I'll go to tea with you."

With that, the little guy withdrew from the water pavilion. The three of them sat on the stone table and chatted, and when they were young, Feng Ling arrived in the courtyard. While talking, he went up the rockery and said: "I don't know if the guests are here, there is a loss of welcome, forgive me."

The three of them paid a visit to Feng Ling, and then the little servants came up with tea, Feng Ling said: "Zhuang Shang Qing tea, not a tribute, the three of them taste the first product, I have instructed the kitchen to prepare a luncheon to entertain the three of them." ”

"Why should the owner of the farm work so hard? I have only come to enjoy the manor, and have never thought of eating in the manor. "There is humanity.

Feng Ling said: "You must not be a simple scholar, otherwise how would you know what is in my pool?"

"Hahaha...... I think the owner of the village has some opinions about us and other scholars...... Although we are scholars, we are not those who can only read the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, the Four Books and the Five Classics, but can only read the sour Confucianism. In the past few years, we have traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, heard the words of different mouths, and we also love to read classics and wild books, and know that there are tadpoles in western Yunnan, what is the difference?"

Feng Ling said with a smile: "I lost my words just now, please forgive me, the three of you."

The luncheon was already on the table, and he only said who those three people were, they were Pu Mu, Chen Renhai, and Duan Gan. The three of them did not enter Junyi Manor as officials, thinking that they had other plans.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
