Chapter 132: Chenjia Villa
Wei Qimu followed Wang Tielong to Shuanglong Mountain, only to see that the two mountains were wrong, a stone was hanging high, and it was the image of Shuanglong playing with pearls. On the mountainside of one of the mountains, there are many camps, and the banner is clear, presumably it is the king He Village.
There are about hundreds of children in the village, and there are a few capable people under the account of Wang He Erlong, Wang Tielong introduced Wei Qimu one by one: "Wang Wei and He Can can divinate and tell hexagrams, and look at each other." Wang Zhi and He Hui can make suggestions and take precautions. Zhang Xin, the sword is unique. He Yufeng, light work and excellent ......"
Everyone and Wei Qimu have seen it one by one, and when Wang Tielong talked about He Yufeng, He Yufeng smiled heartily. Wei Qimu saw that he was a tall and fat man, and muttered in his heart: "Can such a strong man actually practice a good light skill?" Because he had seen Wen Junping's wonderful light skill, he naturally didn't think that this He Yufeng would have any outstanding ability. Wei Qimu didn't see the other village owner, He Yulong, so he asked, "Isn't He the village owner in the mountains?"
Wang Tielong said: "Brother Yulong went to Wenzhou a few days ago and has not come back. β
Wang Tielong set up a banquet in the village and invited Wei Qimu to drink. Although everyone in the village saw Wei Qimu for the first time, the natural pride of the people in the rivers and lakes made them feel like they were reunited after a long absence. Everyone kept pushing the cup and changing the lamp, turning the situation upside down.
Wei Qimu learned during the banquet that these reckless heroes were all righteous Jin Lan who had been allied by blood, and had been in this cottage for more than ten years, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "These people can live and die together for more than ten years, sharing blessings and misfortunes, which is a great joy in life." In the two years since I came down the mountain, although I have met many friends, I have always been scattered, and in the end I am still running alone, where can I gather all day long like them, and enjoy the family ......"
Wang Tielong Xu saw through Wei Qimu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Brother Wei, why don't you stay in the village and enjoy the wealth with me, so happy!" Everyone laughed and said yes, and frequently invited each other.
Wei Qimu's heart was moved, his eyes were moist, and he almost agreed, but he still couldn't. He still has to go to Chenjiabao to save Zhang Fengchen, avenge Ma Dongping, and ...... He seemed to have nothing to do, but he seemed to have a lot of things to do, and he was never allowed to retreat to the mountains and forests here.
When the wine was drunk, four men in Tsing Yi came in from outside, but they were Su Lai, Su Qu, He Dong, and He Xi. These four people are two pairs of siblings, and the four of them have a saying in the rivers and lakes, and there is a saying:
Heaven and earth are wide for me to come and go,
Why do you ask for more things?
He is a casual person, the most fond of leisure, completely free from the constraints of the world, usually not in the village, but all day long to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
When the four of them saw him, the brothers in the village were overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled them over to persuade them to drink. He Dong was not in a hurry to eat and drink: "Brother Tielong, Chen Jiabao is here to make a wedding card!"
Wang Tielong took the wedding card and finished reading, frowning slightly: "This second son of Chen Jiabao is going to marry again, but he didn't invite me to wait for the first time, why did he invite us to the cottage this time?"
He Yufeng said with a smile: "Presumably, the old man Chen already knew that the first time was not helpful, so he didn't ask me to wait!" As soon as these words came out, they couldn't help but cause everyone to laugh.
Wang Zhi looked solemn, and said: "Our Wang Hezhai and his Chenjiabao have never been on good terms, and in recent years, there have often been disagreements with each other.
Wang Tielong was hesitating, but Wang Wei said: "Let's wait for me to make a hexagram." With that, he shook off a copper coin from his sleeve and landed on the wine case.
The copper coin is very simple, there are four words of "dry seal spring treasure" on it, among which the words "dry", "sealed" and "spring" are quite similar to regular script, only the word "treasure" is the official book. This copper coin is not simple, it is the money minted by Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi in the Qianfeng period, only eight months to recover and destroy, so it is very rare to survive in the world, I don't want to have one in this small Wang He Village.
Wang Wei shook the copper coin six times in a row, and it became a hexagram. Wei Qimu is slightly reasonable, although it is the first time he has seen people throw money into a hexagram, but he also saw some clues: if the copper coin with the word side is facing up, it is yin, and vice versa. After six throws, six lines were thrown, which were yin, yang, yin, yin, yang, and yang. Among them, yin and yang yin are the lower hexagrams, which are the Kan hexagrams, and Yin and Yang are the upper hexagrams, which are Xun hexagrams. Kan is water, Xun is wind, and together they are a feng shui trigram.
Wang Wei really said: "The main hexagram of this hexagram is a Kan hexagram, and the guest hexagram is a Xun hexagram, so it is a sloppy hexagram." Feng Shui is sloppy, and the river is ......"
Before Wang Wei finished speaking, Zhang Xin hurriedly said on the side: "Wang Shenshu, don't say something we don't understand, you just say that you can't go this time!"
Wang Wei was not annoyed, and said bluntly: "This hexagram says that although there are hardships and dangers here, it can turn evil into good fortune." β
When the people heard this, their hearts were reassured. Wei Qimu asked, "Does Brother Tielong know what the bride's name is?"
Wang Tielong shook his head and said, "I don't know. I only know that she is from an overseas island, and it seems that her surname is Zhang. β
When Wei Qimu heard that his surname was Zhang, he said in his heart: "If it's Zhang Fengchen, it seems that he will have to go to Chenjiabao no matter what." β
He Yufeng said with a smile: "Thinking that Li is still chaotic, he can be regarded as both civil and military, and his appearance is outstanding, who would have thought that this wild bride would not look down on him and run away from marriage!"
Wei Qimu was surprised: "Li is still messy?"
He Yufeng replied: "Ahem, it's Chen Jiabao's second son." β
Wei Qimu was puzzled: "Why is the second son of the Chen family surnamed Li and not Chen? Could it be that he is an adopted son?"
Wang Tielong said: "It's strange to say, every generation in Chenjiabao has such a son surnamed Li. Although he is not the eldest son, he is no different from the son of the Chen family, and the lord of the castle in the past generations has also loved the son surnamed Li very much. β
Since Chen Jiabao has made a wedding card, no matter what his intentions are, he must go through it. Everyone had already decided, so Wang Tielong took Wang Wei, Zhang Xin, and He Yufeng to Chenjiabao, and inquired about He Yulong's whereabouts along the way, leaving He Can, Wang Zhi and "things to go" and others to guard the cottage. Wei Qimu naturally prevaricated and followed.
Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Tielong, Wei Qimu and his party of five people and five horses rushed to Wenzhou. Through the sea, through the Huangyan, until the Wenlingbu ferry. To the south of Wenlingbu Ferry is the vast Qihai Sea. In the east of Qihai, there is a large island, called Muliuyu. Chenjiabao in Wenzhou, which is called "South Chen and North Lin" with Youzhou Linjia, is on Muliuyu Island - or in other words, Muliuyu is Chenjiabao.
Wang Tielong, Wei Qimu and others hired two fast boats, one carrying people and the other carrying horses, and rode the wind and waves to the south. At this time, the north wind is strong, and the wind is urging the light boat along the way, pointing to Muliuyu Island in the distance.
Wei Qimu stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the Qihai from afar, but saw that the sea was wide and boundless, the waves were turbulent, and the islands in the sea were like dots, which was more majestic than the common rivers and lakes. Among them is a large island, which is shrouded in a heavy haze that looks very mysterious from a distance. There is a mountain on that island, and the peaks are very majestic, and the clouds and mist on it are like a fairy mountain.
However, for most of the day, the two clippers had reached a shallow bay water. Across the shallow bay, is Muliuyu. Everyone saw that the island was lush and green, and the shore of the island was connected with the eternal tides, exhaling the spirit of heaven and earth. There was also a white spring on the island, which flowed down with smoke, and it seemed to pass through the whole island.
Wang Wei looked at the Muliuyu in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "People say that there is flowing water on Muliuyu, and it is as white as jade. 'When I saw it today, it was true!'
Everyone was sighing that the shipwreck had turned to the east. After passing through the shallow bay, you will arrive at the Xuanmen Ferry. This Xuanmen ferry is the only way for people from outside the island to enter this Muliuyu - there are traps everywhere else, and it is impossible to enter.
Everyone got off the boat and landed on the island, only then did they see that the island was surrounded by a city, like a lonely city on the sea, and the place where Wang Tielong and others were located was the north gate of the island. Outside the city gate, there is a stone pillar that is high for one person, on which are written the three quaint and simple characters of "Muliuyu", and the three domineering characters of "Chenjiabao" are written on the city gate. It can be seen that although this island is the place where heaven and earth are created, this city is the private city of his Chen family.
There is also a pole of white Jiao flag outside the city gate, and under it are two columns of sturdy men, about twenty or so. These men were all dressed in gray, each with a sword and a gun in their handsβthey were not government officials, nor were they soldiers of the imperial court, but slaves of Chenjiabao. Although they are domestic slaves, their eyebrows are full of swagger. These house slaves stood guard outside the city gate day and night, taking stock of the characters who entered the island one by one. There are house slaves outside the city, and there are rolling wood crossbows on the city tower, and this formation is not inferior to the strong city of the Central Plains.
Wang Tielong took out the invitation card of the Chen family, and naturally there was no hindrance. When they entered the city, they saw a very wide avenue, all paved with huge stones several feet square. On both sides of the avenue are sparse pavilions, which shows that this Muliuyu is vast and sparsely populated. However, these days the island is much more lively than usual, the pedestrians on the avenue one after another, or three or five together, or alone, there are monks and scribes, and there are also Weng Yuan beauties. These people are all dressed in the rivers and lakes, and they also have a resounding name in the rivers and lakes, and this time they gathered on the isolated island, naturally to participate in the happy event of Li Huanchao, the second son of the Chen family-although they have all been here once, but Chen Jiabao's face is worth their trip again.
The climate on the island is warm, and the flowers and trees are still not withering, and they are still lush. Along the way, there are all pavilions and pavilions, strange rockeries, very magnificent. Wang Tielong also met a few old acquaintances along the road, and they inevitably exchanged pleasantries. Wei Qimu also hoped to meet an old man at first, but he never got his wish, after all, this is not the Central Plains rivers and lakes, but a remote island.
Everyone walked for twenty or thirty miles in a row, and then they saw a magnificent courtyard. The courtyard is surrounded by a white stream that is wide and isolates the whole courtyard, and there are two stone bridges on each of its four sides to connect with the outside world. Each stone bridge faces a vermilion gate, and four red lanterns are hung on each vermilion gate, and each red lantern has the word "Chen" written on it.
Wang Tielong couldn't help but praise: "Presumably this is the inner fort of Chenjiabao!" Wei Qimu couldn't help but sigh: "This Chenjiabao is also a little bigger." β
When they arrived at the bridge, a half-old gray-clothed slave had already greeted them. When Wei Qimu stepped across the stone bridge and turned the Zhu Gate, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure hurrying across another stone bridge. He knew the man very well, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
After Wang Tielong and the others arrived at the inner fort, they were arranged to stay in the guest room. About an hour later, a man came in. The person who came was about thirty years old, wearing brocade clothes, with beautiful jade hanging from his waist, and a little calm and steady in his air.
The person who came saluted lightly, and his voice was like a rush: "I don't know that the lord of the Wang Zhai has come from afar, and I will forgive you for missing the distance." "This person is Chen Huanying, the eldest son of Chen Jiabao.
Although Wang Tielong had never seen Chen Huanying, he knew the name of Chen Huanying, and he also politely said: "I have seen Chen Gongzi." β
Chen Huanying smiled and said: "My father has set up a night banquet in the 'Amazing Immortal Building' to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the heroes, and I also asked the lord of the village to go without hesitation." β
This "Amazing Immortal Building" is the place where Chen Jiabao entertains distinguished guests, and the one who came to invite is the eldest son Chen Huanying, although his tone is gentle, but this battle is clear that no one will not go. Wang Tielong had no choice but to reply: "There is a trip to the eldest prince of Lao Chen, and I will arrive later." β
After Chen Huanying left, Wang Wei frowned and said, "Why does Chen Jiabao suddenly value us so much, and Chen Huanying personally came to invite him?"
He Yufeng had nothing to do, and said with a smile: "Is there anything else that your king god doesn't know?"
Wang Wei ignored He Yufeng's stubborn words, but Wang Tielong said: "Could it be that Chen Jiabao wants to recruit us and others?"
As soon as Zhang Xin heard this, he became anxious and scolded: "Lao Tzu wants wine and wine in Shuanglong Mountain, and meat and meat, which is rare for him to be a shabby place where birds don't!"
Wang Tielong persuaded: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I'll wait and see before I make a plan, I don't dare to play any tricks if he Chen Xuan is a hero in the world." β
