The woman said, "That's it." Miss Jujian said that Miss Youlian was about the same age as her, beautiful in appearance, very pleasing, but with a Jiangnan accent, she couldn't understand much when she spoke. ”

"Miss Youlian is a disciple of our master's nephew, Mr. Kang Guangling, and she is a family with our Qingling Palace. Miss Jujian said that the master accompanied Gongzi to the palace to recruit relatives, and Miss Youlian wanted to rush to Loulan to meet Gongzi Fang. ”

She said that she heard a message on the way that there was a very powerful person who wanted to embarrass the prince. She said that Lu Gongzi treated her very well and asked us to try to spread the news. ”

Lu Qian remembered the scene when he first met Youlian in Qingshanju, because of the traction of her and Wu Shuang, he had to meet Han Ning'er, this time it was her interrogation, he was grateful, and asked, "This Youlian girl, where is she at this time?"

The middle-aged woman said, "My subordinates don't know. Lu Gongzi, listening to Miss Mei Jian's tone, the opponent who wants to embarrass Lu Wangye is really powerful. Therefore, Miss Mei Jian did not wait for the master's order, so she ordered Xuantian and Zhu Tian to dispatch, and the son had to be careful. ”

Lu Qian said: "Thank you sister-in-law for your efforts, sister-in-law has a noble surname, and it is easy to mention it when I see the second brother in the future." ”

The woman was very happy and said with a smile: "We Xuantian and Zhu Tian are generally in business, and the prince does not need to mention his name. The young lady is so kind, thank you!" said he saluted another woman, greeted the others, and got on the horse.

Lu Qian asked Ba Tianshi, "Uncle Ba, what do you think?"

Ba Tianshi said: "Since the prince has made a detour to the east, let's go south, and if we want to come to the Chengdu area, we can meet the prince." ”

Lu Qian nodded and said, "Very much." ”

The group went south through Mianzhou and came to Chengdu. Jinguan City is prosperous and rich, and it is located in the southwest. Lu Qian and the others wandered around the city for a few days, but they didn't see Lu Changfeng coming.

Everyone thought: "King Changle is accompanied by two ladies, all the way up the mountains and rivers, enjoying the gentle and glamorous blessings, naturally walking slowly and returning late." As soon as I returned to Dali, I was not so happy. ”

The group went south again, and everyone took a step closer to Dali with each step, and their hearts were also relieved. There were many flowers along the way, and Lu Qian and Han Ning'er walked slowly, for fear that Li Shuangshuang and Xing'er would be annoyed, and they didn't dare to snub these two girls too much.

Li Shuangshuang had told Xing'er on the way that Lu Qian was actually her brother, and said that Xing'er was also born to Lu Changfeng, and the two daughters changed their words to be called sisters.

In the evening of this day, when we arrived at the willow field, the sky changed sharply, and the raindrops the size of soybeans fell violently. The crowd hurried their horses to gallop and find shelter from the rain.

Turning a row of willow trees, I saw seven or eight houses with white walls and black tiles by the river, and everyone was overjoyed and galloped closer. I saw an old man standing under the eaves, with his hands behind his back, watching the dark clouds on the horizon getting thicker and thicker.

Zhu Danchen turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and said: "The old man is invited, the people who are traveling in the next line, and the rain on the way, please take refuge in Baozhuang, and please make it convenient." ”

The old man said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, but who is going out with the house? ”

Zhu Danchen listened to his voice with a clear voice, not a native voice of southern Sichuan, his eyes were blazing, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and arched his hand: "Thank you so much." ”

When everyone entered the door, Zhu Danchen pointed to Lu Qian and said: "This is Yu Gongzi, who has just come back from visiting relatives in Chengdu." This is Brother Shi, whose surname is Chen. I don't dare to ask my father-in-law's surname. ”

The old man smiled and said, "The old man's surname is Jia." Yu Gongzi, Brother Shi, Brother Chen, a few girls, please go to the inner hall to drink a cup of tea, look at the rain, I'm afraid it will still fall. When Lu Qian and the others heard that Zhu Danchen had reported a fake surname, the governor had something strange, and everyone left their hearts at the moment.

Old Man Jia led everyone to a side room. But seeing a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, the furnishings are quite elegant and clean, not like the residence of villagers, Zhu Danchen and Ba Tianshi looked at each other and paid more attention.

Lu Qian saw that the calligraphy and paintings hung were all from vulgar hands, so he didn't look at them anymore.

The old man said, "I'll order someone to make tea." ”

Zhu Danchen said: "Don't dare to trouble my father-in-law." ”

Old Man Jia smiled: "I'm just afraid that I will snub the nobles." So saying, he turned and went out, and closed the door.

As soon as the door was closed, a painting was revealed behind the door, which depicted several very large camellias, one silver-red, delicate, and the other completely white, half-dried and gratifying.

When Lu Qian saw it, he was overjoyed, but when he saw the inscription next to the painting, he said: "Camellia is the most beautiful in the sea, there is one in seventy, larger than the peony, a fire () clouds (), and the sun is steaming ()." There were two empty words. This line of words is recorded from the "Camellia Records in Central Yunnan".

Lu Qian knew it by heart, the type of camellia was obviously twenty out of seventy, but the inscription wrote "seventy has one", at a glance, he saw the four treasures of the study room displayed on the table, and couldn't help but dip the pen in ink.

A horizontal word was added to the word "one", changed to the word "two", and the word "Qi" was added under the word fire, the word "brocade" was added under the word cloud, and the word "Xia" was added under the word steaming.

After one addition, it became: "Sui Yan camellia is the most in the sea, there are two out of seventy, larger than the peony, a fire is like a cloud brocade, and the sun is shining." "The original inscription was written in Chu Suiliang, and Lu Qian also wrote according to this font, but there was no trace of addition.

Xing'er clapped her hands and smiled: "If you fill in it like this, a painting will be complete, and there will be no shortcomings." ”

Not long after Lu Qian put down the pen, Old Man Jia pushed the door in, and closed the door again, seeing that the missing words in the painting had been filled, he immediately smiled and said with a smile: "Honorable guest, distinguished guest, little old man, this is disrespectful." This painting was painted by an old friend of mine, who has a bad memory, forgot a few words when inscribed, and said that he would go home to check the book and make up for it next time. Alas, when he returned home, he couldn't afford to get sick and couldn't make up for it again. I didn't expect that Yu Gongzi Bogu would finish a wish for the old man and my deceased friend, set up the wine, put the wine quickly!" shouted all the way out.

After a while, Old Man Jia changed into a brand-new cocoon silk robe and came to invite Lu Qian to wait in the hall to drink. Everyone looked out the window, but saw that the rain was pouring down, and thousands of small streams were pouring down all over the ground, and it was indeed difficult to walk for a while. Lu Qian and the others thanked and took their seats.

Old man Jia poured wine into his glass and said with a smile: "The local brew in the countryside is not very choking." Yu Gongzi, Xiao Lao'er was originally from Jiangnan, and when he was young, he also learned a little rough martial arts, fought with others, killed two enemies by mistake, and it was not easy to accommodate himself in his hometown, so he fled to Sichuan. Alas, I have lived for decades, but I always remember my hometown, and the wine in my hometown is more mellow than this, but it is not so powerful. As he spoke, he poured wine for everyone.

Everyone listened to him tell his life experience, although they did not believe it, but when they heard him claim to have martial arts, they also relieved their doubts, and after seeing him pour wine for the guests, they said: "Do it first for respect!"

I drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and I was even more relieved, so I ate and drank to my heart's content. Ba Tianshi and Zhu Danchen drank little, and when they ate vegetables, they waited for Old Man Jia to get off the chopsticks first, and then they took the vegetables.

After drinking and eating, seeing that the heavy rain did not stop, the old man Jia sincerely stayed with guests, and Lu Qian and others stayed in the mountains that night.
