Sixty-two times: The smoke and rain tower asked the reason, and the night market in Beijing is now hidden
At noon, the sky has not yet cleared, the clouds have not dispersed, at this time the sky sprinkled a few drops of light rain, the light rain is very cotton, very fine, I don't know when it will stop, but also need such a light rain to be able to rain for a while today. At the banquet table, the four people pushed the cup and changed the lamp, chatting about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and talking about the wind and snow. Pu Mu referred to himself as Su Yisheng, Duan Gan Weifeng referred to himself as Forget the Wind, and Chen Renhai referred to himself as Lingquanzi.
When Feng Ling heard these names, he thought that the three scholars in front of him were probably people who were wandering the rivers and lakes, and he was afraid that reading poetry and books was just a hobby for these people, not for those who had gained fame. And during the banquet, Feng Ling saw that the three of them talked extraordinarily, and they seemed to know everything about the rivers and lakes. Feng Ling already felt at this moment that the three people in front of him must not be idle people, but Feng Ling felt that the three people in front of him were not here to visit him, Baihuagu had not been involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes for a long time, and now he came to Beijing to do business, just to be able to raise his own exotic flowers and plants and let him bring some money for himself, which did not involve the interests of any gang in the rivers and lakes at all, and he thought that these people would not bring trouble to themselves.
At the banquet, Duan Gan saw a cluster of mushroom-shaped flowers blooming in the courtyard after raindrops were sprinkled. Those small flowers resemble wildflowers, and they bloom on the side of the road in the mountains. After Duan Gan Weifeng took a bite of the dish, he said, "Dare to ask Master Feng, what kind of flower is this flower that blooms when it rains?"
Feng Ling said: "Hahahaha...... The three brothers don't know that these wildflowers are wild flowers outside the Valley of Hundred Flowers, which bloom when it rains, and the flower juice squeezed by this flower is the most relieving of headaches. In the past, the mountain people in Fanjing Mountain often came to my valley to pick these flowers, and they all came to the valley to pick these flowers on rainy days with oil umbrellas and robes. When the disciples saw and told me, I went to the valley to investigate during the rainy season, and I really saw the mountain people picking flowers, and I asked the mountain people what the use of picking flowers was, and they told me that picking flowers could cure diseases, and they told me that this was the recipe left by the old people in the mountains. I saw that this flower was peculiar, so I picked a few plants and went back to cultivate them, and found that this flower was still blooming very brightly, so I began to cultivate this flower in the valley. The juice is also sold in pharmacies and clinics in the bazaar. ”
"This flower blooms so gorgeously and strangely, I don't know what name the owner of Feng Zhuang has given it?" asked Pu Mu.
Feng Ling said: "This flower is called 'Fairy in the Rain'. ”
"Fairy in the rain? It's just that the rain is prolonging, and it's a little inconvenient to visit the park. Chen Renhai said.
"Don't worry, there are many wonders in the manor, and one of them is called 'Smoke and Rain Tower'. This is the unique rain scene in my village, and it is not strange in the rain, hahaha......" Feng Ling said.
Chen Renhai smiled: "Then I'm looking forward to it."
"Hahaha, come on, brothers, drink a few more glasses of wine. Feng Ling said.
Underground, the little guys raised oil umbrellas and held up umbrellas for the four of them. Together, the four of them stepped on the stone path in the grass, passed through the moon gate in the courtyard, and went straight through a courtyard where a gardener was carrying flower pots into the flower room in the rain. When Chen Renhai saw the florists, he naturally began to pay attention to them, and he glanced at the gardeners and saw that one of them had his face covered. Chen Renhai became alert all of a sudden, but he naturally knew that he couldn't be exposed, so he turned his head and asked Feng Ling, "Master Feng, why are your florists still covering their faces?"
Feng Ling smiled: "Hahaha...... Brother Lingquan smiled, my subordinate was scratched by a thorn in the face when he was cleaning up the flower house yesterday, and his face was broken, so he was masked, it is strange to say, there is more than one person who is masked, and there is another person who was also scratched by a thorn yesterday. ”
Duan Gan said with a sly smile: "The disciple of the Hundred Flowers Valley, the craftsman with such exquisite craftsmanship can even capsize in the gutter and be broken by a small flower thorn. ”
"Hahaha...... Who hasn't missed a beat. When the objects from the Valley of Flowers were moved, I waited here to carry the flower beds, and my hands were also scratched by flower thorns, and some people also injured themselves when they were pruning flowers and leaves. He even fell from the attic and injured his waist. Now there is another one that hurts the face, this wants to plant strange flowers, and it needs to suffer 'strange injuries'......" Feng Ling said.
While speaking, everyone came to the smoke and rain tower, and only said that as soon as they entered the courtyard, it was covered with clouds and mist, and in front of them was a pavilion, and under the pavilion was a stream.
Duan Gan sighed: "There is a scenery outside the Moon Gate, but when you enter the Moon Gate, it is surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland. ”
Chen Renhai said: "Yes, what a rainy building." ”
Feng Ling said with a smile: "Everyone, please go to the pavilion" The four of them went to the court, and when they went up step by step, they felt that it was cool above and entered the pavilion. The three of them looked down at the stream, and there were some rain fairies planted beside the stream, and a cloud of mist floated out of the pavilion. Pu Mu said: "Master Feng, why is this?"
"Hahaha...... Brother Sussan, brothers, please look at the vines on the walls of this courtyard. Feng Ling said.
The three of them looked at the vines climbing on the walls around the courtyard, these vines were all purple, and there were some strange buds on the vines, and those buds seemed to be spitting something. Chen Renhai asked, "This cloud and mist is supposed to be swallowed up by the buds on this vine?"
Feng Ling shook his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Lingquan doesn't know, this bud is not a cloud and mist, but a breath of gas, and this gas will produce clouds and mist when it encounters rain, and it will be cool." This is a flower vine I found in a waterfall in western Yunnan, this flower vine is coiled with some aerial roots of banyan trees, it is a strange sight. The waterfall is cloudy when it rains, followed by a burst of coolness. I concocted this smoke and rain tower in the same way. ”
The three of them all stroked their palms and laughed, and Duan Gan said treacherously: "Hahaha...... Master Feng's study of this kind of flowers and plants is really a university question. is worthy of being the valley master of the Valley of Hundred Flowers, and I have served it."
Pu Mu said: "Master Feng's subordinates are also masters, and I saw this in Zhuang today
Qijing, I have a reluctant request, I wonder if Master Feng can agree?"
Feng Ling said: "Hahaha...... The disciples of Zhuang Shang are all reckless men, and you are disappointed when you want to see them. ”
Chen Renhai said: "What is Master Feng Zhuang talking about? How can planting flowers be compatible with reckless people? Flower growers need to carefully cultivate flowers, water and fertilize. These jobs must be difficult for the reckless to master. ”
Feng Ling said: "Hahaha...... Brother Lingquan didn't know that these gardeners had been reckless and reckless before, and then they came to me to hide from the government. I taught these methods of growing flowers and grasses. This is also to give them some ways to make a living, otherwise in my Hundred Flowers Valley for a few days, I would want to go to the rivers and lakes again. Coming to the capital to open a manor is also for Baihua Valley to have a better livelihood, and to find some way to live for these disciples. ”
The four of them were seated on the pavilion, tea and pastries were ready, and there was a pot of juice among them. Duan Gan Weifeng poured the juice from the pot into the glass cup, looked at the juice on the glass cup, and asked, "What is this?"
Feng Ling said: "This is the passion fruit of Fanbang, which I also found in Baiyue. ”
Duan Gan Weifeng picked up the glass cup and took a sip, and said, "It's delicious, and the taste is wonderful." ”
The other two also poured a glass and said, "It's really delicious."
Pu Mu drank all the passion fruit juice in the cup in one gulp, and said, "By the way, why does Master Feng take in those fugitive thieves?"
Feng Ling shook his head and said, "I don't think you are like people in the public family, how can you interrogate me?"
Pu Mu smiled: "Hahaha...... Don't be surprised, but I really don't know, it is rumored in this river and lake that Baihua Valley does not ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and only loves to plant flowers and plants. How could the Lord of the Hundred Flowers Valley be so interested in taking in that bandit?"
"Yes, in the rivers and lakes, all the gangs hate those bandits and thieves, everyone does serious business, or they live in seclusion and have little contact with the court. However, these robbers and bandits blocked the road and intercepted wealth, repeatedly broke the law and discipline, and harmed the rivers and lakes, and the court was estranged from many gangs because of these bandits. A while ago, the Five Lakes and Three Gangs in Dongting were thieves and bandits, and the imperial court exterminated them all. These hateful bandits, I don't know why the owner of the village would take them in?" asked Chen Renhai.
Feng Ling said: "You don't know, the court has acted in a decent way over the years, and I don't know when the Dauchi gossip commander was established, and these commanders are all good hands in the rivers and lakes or important members of the imperial court, so the rivers and lakes will be monitored." The guards of Ouchi are the eyes and ears of the emperor, and the supervision of the six departments has become stricter. There are rumors among the people that many officials of the six ministries are anxious to change their minds when they hear that the commander of the Ouchi has been selected: First, they know in their hearts what they have done; second, the imperial court thinks that it is going to change the mechanism, and if the officials who do not seek political affairs in their positions want to be punished, some black-hearted officials will naturally cause some incidents in order to reward the imperial court. ”
Pu Mu stopped the glass jar, put it down and asked, "I don't know what's going on?"
Feng Ling said: "In order to commend them, they bent the law indiscriminately and sentenced many unjust cases, and most of the people who came to my valley were heroes who were wronged by the imperial court." ”
Chen Renhai and the others didn't know how to speak for a while, not long after they returned to the palace, the files of the six departments had not yet been sorted out, who were the officials Feng Lingkou was talking about? These days, they went to Ganliang Mansion and Zhejiang Mansion to investigate the case, but they did not know the rest of the matters in the officialdom, and the emperor did not inform them of such matters.
Pu Mu said: "Master Feng, can you elaborate on this matter?"
"In the past six months, they have come to the Valley of Hundred Flowers. For some reason, they unanimously said that the Qiangui Mansion had misjudged the case. I have also heard of the officials of the Qiangui Mansion, the fish and the common people, and they do all kinds of evil. Therefore I took them in. The rest of the people are all my disciples...... Ay...... Hahahaha...... The more I waited, the farther I talked...... No matter what you say, these subordinates of mine are all reckless men, and planting flowers is just a livelihood that I teach them, so they are different from people like you who read poetry and books. Of course, if you want to see it, it doesn't hurt," Feng Ling said.
Then, Feng Ling called the little guy to the side and whispered, and the little guy got off the pavilion and withdrew from the courtyard.
Feng Ling said: "Everyone, go to another courtyard, where there is an empty flower room where flowers have not yet been placed, and go there to meet my florists." ”
With that, the four of them left the courtyard together.
It is only said that in this flower room, nearly 20 florists have been gathered. Everyone sat in the flower room, Feng Ling, and everyone got up and saluted: "See the owner"
Feng Ling said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today the village welcomes distinguished guests, and the distinguished guests are all heroes of the rivers and lakes. Let's take a look at you today. This is a plain shirt, this is Forget the wind, this is Lingquanzi, you can pay a visit to the three distinguished guests soon."
The men stood up and saluted, "I have seen three distinguished guests." Meet the plain shirt student, meet the Lingquanzi, meet the forgotten wind"
Pu Mu waved his hand to let them all sit down, and said, "You don't need to make this big gift. The three of us visited the garden today, and the owner of your village talked about you, and you all know that you have unique skills and are good at planting flowers. Therefore, we have come to visit you, and we are all people in the rivers and lakes, so there is no need to talk about these red tapes. ”
Pu Mu said some polite homely words to these people in front of him, Chen Renhai carefully walked through the people, his gaze swept over everyone, and he didn't see the two masked people. As soon as Pu Mu finished speaking, Feng Ling said: "Three, they still need some flowers to cook today, why don't I go back to the courtyard for dinner first, let them go to work first."
Chen Renhai said: "I see you today
, It's an honor, if he is destined one day, I will see you again. ”
After that, the gardeners thanked them in unison, and the little servants led Feng Ling and the others into Fangcai's courtyard together, and a pair of horse tags had been placed there at this time. Pu Mu said: "What does the owner mean?
Feng Ling said with a smile: "If you don't, there are still dominoes and leaves on the village? Which kind do you like? The meal is still cooking, and the kitchen still needs time to prepare, so I will drink tea and chat, so it is better to play a few games here." ”
Duan Gan touched the horse tag and said with a smile: "I haven't touched such an object for many years, and I don't know how to hit it." ”
Pu Mu and Duan Gan will have this kind of card technique, but Chen Renhai only watched the elders play in Chenjiabao when he was a child, and he didn't understand this card technique at all, Chen Renhai said: "I saw people play this horse tag when I was a child, but I have never been on the card table, and I am afraid I will not be able to play this card." ”
Duan Gan said treacherously: "Eh, don't worry, I'll try a few games first, let Lingquanzi adapt to it, and when the cards are ripe, how about I bet and play cards later?"
Feng Ling said: "So very good, so very good, come on, I'll wait for the table to play cards"
While speaking, the four of them played the horse tag, and the three of them were still playing with Feng Ling's words before the two masked men arrived in the flower room, Chen Renhai and the others became suspicious, could it be that Feng Ling knew that the two masked men were the people they were looking for? Could it be that their words revealed their intentions.
In this way, they began to have a mind for Feng Ling, and began to knock on the side when playing cards, although they talked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but from time to time they heard about the affairs of the Hundred Flowers Valley.
The clouds have not yet lifted, and night has come. Today was one of the cooler days of the summer, and after a long time of drinking and feasting, the three of them each took out a piece of silver and settled the account. In the laughter, the three of them came out of Junyi Manor, the three of them were a little drunk, the little guys drove to the door, Feng Ling took the three of them, and said, "Three brothers, get on the carriage."
The three of them hugged and got into the carriage, and after telling the coachman where to go, the carriage left from Grandview Manor. The cool breeze of the summer night blew on the streets, and the night market was still not dispersed, and the carriages and horses walked slowly through the night market. The three of them took the sobering pills, leaned in the car and slept for a while before waking up.
After passing through the downtown area, they said that the place where they lived was the nearest inn on Baihumen Avenue. After the carriage arrived, the three of them got out of the car one after another. The carriage and horses turned around and headed for the Grandview Manor.
There are no stars or moon tonight, and the clouds have not yet dispersed.
When the carriage and horses arrived at the racecourse, the coachman got out of the carriage and horses. Two more people came to the racecourse, and it was the two masked men.
"It's not yet late at night, and you're going out for fun again?" asked the coachman.
One of the masked men said: "After a busy day, let's go eat something, I've been repairing flowers for a long time today, I'm really tired."
The two masked men went out of the gate of the racecourse together, and went out into the street, and after two alleys, they reached the main street.
The two of them walked all the way to a noodle stall, sat down in front of the stall, tore off the face covering, asked for two bowls of noodles, and began to eat. After eating the noodles, after the two gave the money, the store gave them a piece of yellow paper, and the two got up and left the stall. The two of them went to the market, went to an inn, opened a room, and sat down in the room.
The two opened the yellow paper, saw the words written on the yellow paper, and said, "Quickly withdraw from the Junyi Manor." ”
"Today, Chen Renhai and others are here to visit our bottom of the wait. ”
"Yes, fortunately, Wang Yu didn't know us well that day, otherwise I would have been arrested yesterday. ”
"I also acted with money, but I didn't expect to cause so much trouble"
"There were too many people at the wedding banquet that day, and the eunuchs from the Internal Affairs Department came many times, so we may not know about it in disguise. The eunuchs who were interrogated did not know about us. After this trip, I'll have more money to spare."
As they spoke, the two of them cut the yellow paper, and there was a gap in the middle, and from the gap they took out two silver tickets, one hundred taels each.
"With the addition of the original fifty taels, I earned one hundred and fifty taels on this trip. Originally, I could earn three hundred taels, but I couldn't kill the woman, and let me wait to escape to the palace to hide, and surface from the drainage river of the toilet factory, which is really unpleasant. "That's human.
The door opened while speaking, and the person in front of them was Chen Renhai that day, and behind them was Pu Mu.
"Both, what else do you have to say now?" Chen Renhai said.
Seeing this, the two broke the window and fled, only to see that the street was full of arresters and surrounded them.
Duan Gan came out of the group of fast catchers and said: "Two, so far, there is still a way to survive if you are tied up, if you resist again and again, you will not have any good results." ”
When the people in the market saw this formation, they had already fled. The noodle seller was also tortured at this moment, and he really didn't know why he was so careful that others would find out.
It turned out that when Chen Renhai and the others got out of the carriage and turned around again, Duan Gan entered the carriage and horses through the big window of the carriage and horses, and then followed the carriage and horses into the manor, who knew that these two people happened to walk out of the manor from here. Duan Gan Weifeng followed the two, with his superb light skills, the two did not find out in the night market, and then Duan Gan Weifeng met Chen Renhai Pu Mu, who was already waiting there, in the night market, and the two had already ordered the patrol room, so they surrounded the two at this moment,
The two said: "Sure enough, they are all the commanders of the Ouchi, and it is inevitable that there will be a vicious battle today." ”
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
