When the two saw the invitation, they looked through it a little and said, "We have never inquired about the whereabouts of the guests, and it is inconvenient to disclose them. It is this, originally an invitation could only bring in one more person besides the main owner, but Miss Lu and Bai Shaoxia are both in the Li family of the South China Sea, so let's come in together. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and when they entered the door, they all wondered in their hearts that the two of them could know the identities of Lu Man and Bai Zongping, and they were thinking about it, but they heard the two of them: "King Wei Hua's feast will not start until noon, you can walk around the courtyard first." ”

At this time, the three of them are still unclear about the identity of this "Wei Huawang", but there is nothing to think about, so they have to settle down and walk in the courtyard, fortunately there are not many people who have to enter the inner house, so the courtyard is very quiet, and the style in the outer house is very different, there are occasional other pedestrians on the road who walk by in twos and threes, pointing softly to the flowers and plants next to them, looking up, the distant pavilion is higher than a place, the emerald color is sultry nearby, and there are all kinds of different flowers hidden in it, the whole house is immersed in a strong fragrance, as if the world is wonderland.

Different from the market, the peony in the house is not planted in a pot, but behind the corner of the roadside wall, it can be seen everywhere, and the road on both sides is dotted with small flowers all the way, each branch is hung with a number of buds, different colors, used to see the big peony on the flower plate, and then look at this small flower is also interesting, Lin Jianlan couldn't help squatting down and dialed it with his hand at will, turned back and said: "Sister Man, what kind of flower is this?"

Lu Man smiled: "What do you think it looks like?"

Lin Jianlan saw that the flower was shaped like a hanging bell and like a girl's purse, and said, "It's a bit like a purse for needlework." ”

Lu Man said: "Isn't that it? This flower is called a purse, also called a purse peony, but the flower is 108,000 miles worse than the peony, and it is ridiculous to insist on adding the word peony to the back." ”

Lin Jianlan nodded, straightened up, but suddenly a gust of wind blew, and a burst of fragrance came with the wind, but it didn't seem to be the same as the fragrance of these peonies in the courtyard, Lu Man didn't close his eyes, he was blinded by the wind and sand, and when he opened it again, he didn't see Lin Jianlan, and looked around and said urgently: "Where did he go?"

Bai Zongping pointed to a non-conspicuous path next to him and said, "His face is very strange, he ...... For some reason, he ran over there. ”

Lu Man looked at the place he was pointing, the path was not paved with stone slabs, the grass on both sides was covered, and if he looked carefully, he could see that the grass on it had accumulated traces of walking, and he had no time to think about it, and immediately walked quickly along the path, a corner door appeared from the dense forest, the door panel shook slightly, the door lock on it had been broken, the stubble was new, obviously it had just been twisted, Lu Man hurriedly walked in.

There were no rockeries or flowers in the courtyard, a flat open space, a hut in the middle, golden thatch hanging from the eaves, and the outside of the window was cleanly pasted with window paper. Another gust of wind blew, snowflake-like petals fluttered one after another, and Lu Man followed Lin Jianlan's gaze, but it was a big pear tree, full of white flowers and falling down, like falling snow.

Lin Jianlan stood in the white rain of flowers, looking confused, looking up, and then looking back at the hut, for a moment he only felt that he was in a dream.

Lin Jianlan was shocked to the extreme, and when he looked at it, it was strikingly similar to the small northern courtyard where he had lived for more than ten years! Looking closely, the pear tree was not the local director, but it seemed to have been transplanted from the north, and the window paper of the small courtyard was also pasted outside, and a bunch of corn was hung under the eaves, and it was surrounded by a crude fence with morning glory green vines, competing to open. As far as the eye can see, there is not a single place in the small courtyard that does not deliberately imitate the northern residence, and even the position of the well is exactly the same. The ground in the courtyard is very clean, and there are still scratches on the broom, which is obviously often cleaned, but the hut is very quiet, and the manhole cover in the courtyard is also locked with iron chains, and it seems that it has not been used for a long time, and it does not look like it is inhabited.

Lu Man and Bai Zongping looked at him with strange expressions, how did they know all the previous feelings, so they also stood there and didn't speak.

Suddenly, the voices of people gradually improved, but a group of Qing guests rushed to the gate of the courtyard, looking so angry, but they didn't come in, but just shouted to the three of them: "You are guests from afar, my family Wei Huawang kindly invites you to come, why do you create a forbidden place in the house?"

The three of them were startled, and Lin Jianlan also woke up at this moment, and said in his heart: "This time it was indeed me who was unreasonable, twisted the lock and broke in, but I don't know why those two people called this ordinary small courtyard 'forbidden land'?" At this time, he couldn't let him think about it, so he had to shout: "I'm really sorry, I'm just curious, I have no malice, if we offend King Wei, we are willing to make amends in person." ”

After that, the three of them walked out of the courtyard, but they were immediately surrounded by everyone, and a white-faced Qingke said: "Since you have entered the forbidden land, we have no choice but to offend, you had better not do anything about it, and wait for King Wei to come and settle." ”

Lu Man listened to it angrily and funny, and said: "Since it is a guest, how can there be a reason that a guest has to wait for the master to send a place if he accidentally looks at something!? Moreover, there is no word 'forbidden land' written on the courtyard gate, we inadvertently enter, and we will give you Wei Huawang a gift!"

The three of them originally came to see Wei Huawang, if they waited here, they would definitely be able to see Wei Huawang, but at this time, Lu Man couldn't help but get angry, and thought in his heart: "How can there be such a well-behaved master?"

Bai Zongping said secretly: "It's just a minion of the nursing home, and he is so arrogant." Thinking of this, he already had the idea of doing it, and said with a gloomy face: "Do you want to use force? I'm afraid you want to stop us and we owe some effort!"

The Qingke who made the double gong was angry and wanted to step forward, but he was dragged by a long-haired Qingke next to him and said: "Weihua Wang's Mansion is clean, Brother Qin, don't use force at will, we don't have a good relationship with other distinguished guests." But he turned his head to the three of them and smiled bitterly: "You still listen to the next sentence, and you can be regarded as giving us some thin noodles, don't make us embarrassed." ”

The Qingke surnamed Qin threw his double hammer on the ground and sneered: "What kind of 'Qingke' is a Laoshizi here, you have to fade out of your mouth, but your 'poor' is really tasteful! I am not afraid of losing the face of 'Xiao Luo Cheng'!"

Lu Man was stunned in his heart and said: "I have heard my mother say that 'Long-haired Luo Cheng' and 'Jade-faced Qin Qiong' are the first-class young heroes in the rivers and lakes. At that time, I was too young to see their martial arts with my own eyes, but since I was not inferior to the founding generals of this dynasty. I heard that the two suddenly lost their whereabouts ten years ago, if they said that they went into hiding, they did not tell the rivers and lakes, and some people said that the two did not get along and fought a duel in the northwest, and they were defeated and died, which seems to be a rumor. I didn't expect a generation of famous heroes to be buried in this 'Kao Mansion' for nearly ten years, or the identity of 'errand', it seems that other Qing guests must also be former high-rollers, so what is the origin of Wei Kao, who can recruit so many people in the rivers and lakes?"

After a turn of thought, Lu Man held Bai Zongping's hand tightly, and Shi Li smiled: "It turns out that this senior is Luo Weiting Luo Hero, who is known as 'Long Bearded Luo Cheng'? ”

Lu Man said this smartly, on the surface, it sounded like he had admired the prestige of the other party for a long time, but there was a hidden meaning in it that a generation of chivalrous men was willing to be subordinate.

Luo Weiting was robbed of white by a little girl's smiling face, his face was red and white for a while, and he smiled reluctantly: "Everyone, Hugh mentions back then, today Luo is just a small Qingke in the house." After that, he picked up his double hammer and chased after himself.

Lin Jianlan didn't want to use force with them, but at this time, he was impatient in his heart, eager to see King Wei and ask him what the origin of the small courtyard was just now, and forced himself to calm down: "I don't know why I was ignorant for a moment just now, and I actually broke the door lock, although it was unintentional, but after all, we are unreasonable, it is better to wait here for King Wei to come, first, to apologize, and secondly, to see his true face earlier." ”

Lu Man knew that what he had just done must have something to do, and seeing that he deliberately concealed it, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart, but he still looked at the few people around him who had not yet withdrawn, and said, "That's right, why don't we wait here." It's just that you don't know what Nawei Kao looks like, but you can blame us?"

Lin Jianlan shook his head and said: "Look at the wording of the invitation is very atmospheric and heroic, 'enjoy the flowers and visit the beauty, talk about martial arts', 'martial arts' and don't care, that 'Tao' can be understood by everyone? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a person walking out of the small courtyard just now, wearing a plain shirt, with a clear face, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Wei Suxin's bosom friend to be you, a young man!"

When Lu Man and Bai Zongping heard that someone called themselves "Wei Suxin", they were busy looking at it carefully, but they saw that Wei Suxin was no different from ordinary middle-aged people, but his expression was open, his eyes were bright, and there were laugh lines on the corners of his mouth, and he seemed to be always smiling, but there were wrinkles in the center of his eyebrows that could not be smoothed, and he seemed to be a little worried, indescribable, but people couldn't help but be deeply attracted when they saw it.

Wei Suxin waved his hand slightly, and the group of Qing guests bowed down and retreated, and said to the three people: "If the people in the mansion have any offense to your distinguished guests, I will make amends here first." ”

Lin Jianlan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's really unreasonable for us to trespass on the forbidden land of your mansion, Wei Huawang is not strange." ”

Wei Suxin laughed and said: "What forbidden place, it's just that I like to be pure, and I have nothing to do in the hut in this courtyard to cultivate my spirit and practice qi, and I am afraid that people will disturb me, so I don't let people approach! ”

Lu Man was suspicious, seeing that Lin Jianlan's face was also extremely unnatural, only Bai Zongping still looked dazed, sighed secretly, and asked, "It turns out that only King Wei lives in this house?"

Wei Suxin replied with a smile: "My wife has long since passed away, and she has never remarried, and there is only one person who lives. However, he is entangled in mundane affairs, and only occasionally can he enjoy a moment of leisure in this house. ”

These words did not leak, but Lu Man was still puzzled, and said secretly in his heart: "Since he was in that hut just now, he must have known that his younger brother had broken into the courtyard, but he didn't come out directly to stop the drink, he must have been watching the situation in secret, fortunately he didn't rashly use force just now, otherwise I don't know what would have happened." Just thinking about it, there was a person who came in a hurry, it was Luo Weiting, but he turned a blind eye to the three of them, and bowed directly to Wei Suxin and said, "King Wei Hua, the time is up." ”

Wei Suxin smiled at the three of them and said, "Since the feast has already begun, why don't we go together!"

Lu Man was full of doubts, seeing that Lin Jianlan was also gloomy, pondering something as he walked, only Bai Zongping was talking and walking with great interest on Wei Suxin's side, thinking of Wei Suxin's big identity and pomp, and being so close to the three of them, he didn't care about what he had just done, and he couldn't help but feel palpitations, not knowing whether this trip was a blessing or a curse.

A few people walked around, and after a while, they came to a large place, and when they looked up, it was a large flower hall built on the water, and many people were already seated in it. The light curtain hangs low all around, dancing with the wind, the fragrance in the hall is lingering, it is a large pot of peonies that are in full bloom all around, but look at the flower pot is already precious and extraordinary, and the flowers planted are different in color and posture, and they are stronger than those in the courtyard.

As soon as a few people entered the door, a Qingke shouted: "King Wei Hua has arrived!" Everyone got up and bowed to Wei Suxin, but Lin Jianlan and the others who followed him secretly screamed ashamed in their hearts, and followed Wei Suxin to accept everyone's gifts.

Lin Jianlan raised his eyes to look around, but saw the scholar he saw in the teahouse that day, dressed in light blue snow silk, embroidered with a number of flying cranes, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then turned their eyes away.

This hall is not as lively as imagined, the invited guests are only twenty or thirty, Lin Jianlan roughly swept over, but the people around him were very unfamiliar, and secretly said in his heart: "The scale is so small but the famous Lin Jianghu, I don't know what kind of person he invites every time, and I don't know if Uncle Qing is in it, alas, I can't stare at people in such a situation." ”

The three of them just found a place to sit down, and immediately a Qingke hurriedly entered from the outside, whispering in Wei Suxin's ear, Wei Suxin's face suddenly showed surprise, and then his face was anxious, frowning and thinking for a while, and whispered to the Qingke a few times, Fang turned his head to everyone: "Friends, I must have been waiting anxiously, I really don't hide it from you, and I am hungry and unbearable now!"

Everyone listened to him speak casually, and they all had a good impression and laughed, Wei Suxin paused for a moment, hugged his fists outward, and said: "But there is still a distinguished guest coming later, please stay for a while, and go to greet you first, and make amends to you first." ”

Everyone said: "It's really nothing to wait for a while, King Wei doesn't have to be too humble!" Lin Jianlan saw Wei Suxin leave in a hurry, and said suspiciously: "King Wei Hua's identity seems to be noble and abnormal, when he said 'distinguished guest', he said with his fists in his fist, which seemed to be very respectful to that person, but I don't know what kind of person he is?"
