It was evening when I came to Changsheng Town, but the southern style in the town was unabated, and it seemed to happen to meet some festival, every house was lit up with lights, a big red lantern was lit in front of the door, it was about a light rain around the evening, the mist rose in the town, as if wrapped in a light veil, Baiyun and Zhang Yuruo walked through the main road with Dou Chang'an, turned around a small arched bridge made of stone, and suddenly heard someone playing the piano in the distance, and the sound of the piano was like a mountain and flowing water gradually rising and falling.

Under the stone bridge is a narrow river with a unique style in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not so much a river as the river but rather a waterway that runs through the whole town, the flowing water is murmuring, the river bank spreads out the willows, but at this time the late autumn strikes people, the willow leaves are already yellow, there are Wupeng boats shuttling in the river, the bow of the boat is hung with a dusk lantern or lantern, there are travelers who enjoy the scenery and amusement, there are also fishermen who return from fishing in the open waters, and the tenderness of the Jiangnan is inexhaustible。

As the sky quietly darkens into the night, the attic tiled houses built along the river are lit up sporadically, reflecting the entire river surface in sparkling glass.

The small bridge flowed and the lights flowed, and the three of them walked along the riverside. Bai Yun couldn't help but ask, "Senior, where are those Qingxuan Sword Sect disciples?"

"Leng Fu. Dou Changan stared ahead without squinting, and said in a calm tone.

The woman in white was expressionless, but she couldn't hide the worry in her heart in her tone: "That group of Qingxuan Sword Sect disciples is fixed in the Cold Mansion at this time, so blatant will only startle the snake, it is better to find an inn first, find out the whereabouts of that group of Qingxuan Sword Sect disciples, and then wait for the opportunity to secretly replace that Tianlong Society secret letter is the best policy." ”

Dou Changan walked with his sleeves in his sleeves and did not answer.

Not far ahead, there is a high-walled mansion away from the hustle and bustle of the town, adjacent to the river, in the same tile house attic in the south of the Yangtze River, this high-walled mansion is particularly eye-catching, there are two big red lanterns hanging in front of the door, the red light is like a rainbow in front of the door, the strange thing is that the beam in front of the door of this mansion is empty, people can't help but wonder, the surname of the owner of the house is usually hung in front of the door of the ordinary big family as a façade, such as Chen Mansion, The palace is like this in some of the tall mansions that Shicai passes through, why is this mansion next to the river stand out from the crowd.

The sound of the piano came from the house.

Bai Yun secretly admired who was stroking the qin in the house, the rhythm of the piano changed and flowed, melodious and tactful, vivid and bright.

Approaching the mansion, the sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and the three of them stopped outside the high-walled mansion of "no name and no surname", just when the two of them were puzzled, the heavy door of the mansion was opened without warning, except for Dou Changan, who was not shocked, both of them were stunned, and some did not know why.

A handsome maid in a gorgeous costume walked out of the mansion in broken steps, first came to Dou Chang'an and gave a blessing, and said with a smile: "Senior Dou, my master has been waiting in the mansion for a long time. ”

After that, the graceful maid made another gesture of please.

Bai Yun, who was standing beside Dou Changan, glanced at the middle-aged man standing with his hands in his hands, and then moved his eyes to peek at the glamorous maid

, the bottom of the heart is full of fog.

Although there was not too much change in the expression on Bai Yi's face, she could vaguely guess why this high-walled mansion had no façade.

Dou Changan raised his head and glanced at the empty beam of the main entrance, nodded and said, "Lead the way." ”

Stepping into this high-walled mansion, the door creaked shut, and a simple main hall was the first to appear in front of you, with a fine lotus wood carving around the eaves, which was the only pleasing decoration to the eye, except for the casual Dou Chang'an, Bai Yun and Zhang Yuruo were shocked by a plaque hanging on the main hall.

Cold House.

Passing through the corridor on the east side of the main hall, there is a hole in the house.

A beautiful lake shines under the embellishment of the starry sky, as if the light rises from the bottom of the lake, the lake is the yellow-headed willow, swaying with the wind, there are willow branches brushing across the lake, bringing ripples. A straight wooden bridge is erected on the surface of the lake, and both sides are lit with dim green lamps, as far as the eye can see, it is like a long dragon sweeping the lake to the center of the lake, which is beautiful and mysterious.

At the end of the wooden bridge there is a water pavilion, and if you don't take a closer look, it will be like a light boat floating in the middle of the lake.

The woman, dressed beautifully and beautifully, and different from ordinary maids, led the three of them onto the wooden bridge that penetrated through the center of the lake.

The wooden bridge is not high, as if floating on the surface of the lake, the water of Yingying Lake has been rippling to the feet, and the ripples reflected by the lights are slowly dispersed, even Zhang Yuruo, who is as elegant as a fairy and does not eat fireworks in the world, is also shocked.

Approaching the water pavilion along the wooden bridge, Bai Yun found that there was already a person waiting in the pavilion, but the gauze curtains around the water pavilion were erratic, and it was difficult to see the appearance of the people in the pavilion.

"Has he prepared the wine?" Dou Changan suddenly spoke.

The glamorous maid smiled: "I have already prepared sake and waited for Dou Sword God to come." ”

Bai Yun suddenly realized that Dou Changan was doing that tricky act again, it seemed that he had a good relationship with the head of the Leng clan of the Mo family, no wonder he knew that the disciples of the Qingxuan Sword Sect were in the Leng Mansion, and only stepped into Changsheng Town with the front foot, and the back foot was about to come to the Leng Mansion. In this way, Zhang Yuruo and Bai Yun's previous worries were swept away, and if Leng was willing to sell Dou Chang'an face to help, the matter of obtaining the secret letter was almost at hand.

Walking down the wooden bridge, the maid in Chinese clothes gently lifted the curtain of the water pavilion, and a man in brocade clothes of the same age as Dou Changan was sitting alone in front of the round stone table of the water pavilion.

When I looked at it, the man's square face and big ears were heroic, but his cheeks and beards could not withstand the washing of the years and turned slightly white.

The man saw everyone walk into the water pavilion, got up with a warm smile on his mouth to greet him, and when everyone sat down, he glanced at the maid again, and the girl in the gorgeous costume with an unusual identity understood it, poured a glass of sake for the guests in the water pavilion, and then exited the water pavilion, gently lowered the curtain, leaned on the vermilion pillar of the water pavilion and stood, guarding outside the water pavilion.

Dou Changan, who is a heavy drinker, the first thing he did when he sat down was to raise his wine glass and take a sip of sake.

The wind blows across the lake, and the curtain rises and falls, bringing a refreshing and intoxicating fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

Dou Changan put down the wine glass and sighed: "The wine is good."

Wine, but the sake is not smooth in the throat, I said cold and cold, you and I are not the first to enter the wine field, how can you have fun drinking sake, as the old saying goes, there are friends from afar and happy, how can you be so stingy when you are the lord of the house, you are reluctant to take out a jar of authentic Jiangnan osmanthus wine?"

Leng Qinghan, when he heard this name, Bai Yun and Zhang Yuruo looked sideways almost at the same time, looking at the owner of this high-walled mansion.

Leng Qinghan, the lord of the Leng family, said with a smile: "Osmanthus wine is also considered sake?"

Dou Changan didn't hesitate for a moment, and blurted out: "Count." ”

"Didn't you Dou Xian'er say that the osmanthus wine in the south of the Yangtze River tastes a little stronger than the wine in the north? Why haven't you seen the old trees bloom in twenty years?" Leng Qinghan said with a smile.

Dou Changan rubbed his forehead and said: "That will be young and vigorous, strong-hearted, has nothing to do with wine, can't recognize good goods, these twenty years are so greedy that the root of the tongue is about to fall out, if you have a treasure of Jiangnan osmanthus, you will take out a few pots, so that my apprentice can also taste this Jiangnan must." ”

Leng Qinghan turned his head to look at Bai Yun and said with a little surprise: "Oh, when did you take this Jixia disciple as an apprentice?"

Dou Changan's trick Bai Yun had already been ripe, and this time he turned a deaf ear to his words that he would recognize himself as a cheap apprentice, but he was very curious about how the lord of the Leng family, who had never had a one-sided relationship, knew that they were disciples of Jixia.

Dou Changan poured himself a glass of sake and did not answer Leng Qinghan's question.

"Dou Xian'er is back in the rivers and lakes, my Lengfu is the first to receive the news, except for you, I really can't think of anyone who would be idle enough to cut off one of the Nucang Gorges, and also carve Bing'er's name on one of the rock walls. ”

Leng Qinghan smiled at the two of them, and continued: "The two young heroes don't have to worry too much, I guess you also know that the descendants of the Mo family are divided into two bloodlines, the Nangong clan and the Leng clan, and the identities of the two are what I learned from the eyeliner inserted in the Nangong clan. ”

"Don't talk about this endlessly, are you reluctant?" Dou Changan looked down at the wine glass and said impatiently.

The Leng Mansion Lord shook his head mysteriously, pulled up the curtain and looked at the sparkling lake.

Dou Changan realized it later, sniffed the fragrance of osmanthus blowing from the lake, and said with a stiff expression: "You shouldn't have poured all the osmanthus wine in the house into the lake, right?"

Leng Qinghan put down the curtain, smiled and nodded: " You also know that Jiangnan osmanthus is different from ordinary liquor, the more the ordinary liquor is older, the more pure it is, and it tastes like it has been drunk for many years, but Jiangnan osmanthus wine is just the opposite, pay attention to the season, the reason why the osmanthus wine in Jiangnan can monopolize the top of the three unique in Jiangnan is not only because of its unique taste, but also inseparable from the season, it is difficult to find a jar of wine in late autumn, and the fragrance and mellow aroma of osmanthus wine can be tasted in early autumn and late autumnThe osmanthus wine on my house has been stored for several years, and it has long been out of taste, so it is better to pour it all out and smell comfortable when the wind blows. ”

Bai Yun secretly said after hearing this, this lake in Leng Mansion is also half a mile in radius, and it is necessary to let the whole one

The lake overflows with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, which is really unimaginable, so how many jars of osmanthus wine have to be poured?

Dou Changan said with a depressed face: "I thought I could drink osmanthus wine from you, but it's just that." ”

It was almost cold, Leng Qinghan sat up straight, put his hands in his sleeves and said: "When you arrive in Yangzhou City, are you still afraid that you won't be able to drink this Jiangnan must?"

Dou Changan asked, "How do you know that I am going to Yangzhou City." ”

Leng Qinghan said with a smile: "You Dou Xian'er has been in the forest for 20 years, and suddenly reappeared in the rivers and lakes, others may not know the reason, but I Leng Qinghan can guess seven or eight points, Yangzhou City is about to surge, how can she stand by with her temperament." ”

Dou Changan did not continue the topic, taking advantage of the gap between the curtain being blown by the wind, his eyes flew across the lake, and he changed his words and said: "You, the lord of the Leng family, should be idle, and the turmoil outside will affect the paradise that you have carefully watered." ”
