089. A smile
It was not until the turn of Xuhai that day that Chu Jin returned to the villa.
Because of the urgency, although Wuluhun and the others were placed in the guest room early, but no one could take a nap; after hearing the noise of the little girl, they all came out of the room, pulled a slave to ask before and after, and wanted to go to the front hall to see the young owner who had returned late.
After some general arrangements, and then half a pillar of incense, the five of them finally met the famous smiling boy. I saw that on the throne, sitting upright for a year, the young man was handsome - his face was like a crown of jade, and his body was like a long pine; The most surprising thing is that it has a pair of beautiful eyes, the phoenix eyes are facing the sky, the divine light is compelling, the right eye is less than half an inch below, there is a red mole, carefully tasted, quite charming, and its natural majestic style, dignified appearance complement each other, wonderful can not be said.
Chu Jin smiled at the corner of his lips, looked around, and waited for the five people under the seat to take a look, this side arched his hand, bowed slightly, and said loudly: "God-given care, a little panic." During the day, I am really sluggish, and I hope that you will be in the sea. ”
Wulu couldn't help but smile when he heard the sound, his palms were closed, and he responded slowly, "Don't be like this, Gongzi Chu." It's really me who is disturbing. ”
Chu Jin's eyelids were half-opened and half-closed, his body slowly leaned back, waited for a moment, raised his eyebrows sharply and asked Wen Renzhan directly: "I am presumptuous, but I don't know the two girls, where is the Zhu Palace, and the reason for the fall?"
However, one sentence has already caused Wen Renzhan to see the red on his cheeks, and his shy side cheeks and Xu Liuliu have changed their eyes;
Wulu Lao and Rong Huan looked at each other, they were already all sneering, and they were all disgusted in their hearts, but they were not allowed to have seizures on their faces, first they looked at each other, and then they lowered their heads in a false manner, raised their palms to cover their mouths, and muttered a trivial sentence of "flamboyant tongue".
Without waiting for the response of the war, Chu Jin's lips opened slightly, and he took a long breath, and then took the tea cup at hand, sipped it twice, and said again in a low voice: "What the porter reported, I'm afraid it's not true." Just a few descriptions are already very extraordinary, and then look at your bearing, it is even more outstanding. The small temple in the mountains and wilderness still can't accommodate a big Buddha, how can the nameless sect get a few good hands?"
Before the words fell, Chu Jin raised his eyebrows, and his phoenix eyes were even more narrow, and the tails of his eyes were upturned.
"This girl, please ask the surname of Gao?"
Xu Liuliu's eyes rolled, and before the Wulu Hun Eye Wind arrived, Shi Shiran got up, rushed straight to Chu Jin with a fist and arched his hand, and said slowly: "Master Chu, take the liberty to visit, you really have something to ask for...... " Without a word, Xu Liuliu lowered his eyebrows, pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "In the next... Surname...... Xu ......"
When these words came out, everyone had heard Chu Jin eating and laughing, raised their eyebrows and looked carefully, but saw that the corners of his lips were raised, the smile was deep, and his eyes were really not shocked.
"Chu Gongzi ......" Seeing this, Wulu Hun also got up and said, "I'm really reckless when I wait here." For the sake of prudence, I was not able to tell my real name at the beginning, and I had no choice but to beg for forgiveness. ”
Chu Jin snorted lightly, but there was no emotion on his face, his eyelids were closed, and he responded in a deep voice: "If the machine is not secret, it will be harmful, so the gentleman is more cautious and does not come out." After saying that, Chu Jin smiled, raised his eyebrows and looked around, and sighed to himself: "I'm afraid that tomorrow, I will have to bother the heroes to report home once." Now, the hour is not early, and you saddle horses are tired, so you should rest early. Without saying a word, Chu Jin got up lightly, reached out and dusted off the tail of his robe, pointed his chin forward, and sighed leisurely: "Later tomorrow, prepare a thin wine under it, and then wash the dust for you." ”
After finishing speaking, the corners of Chu Jin's lips were raised again, he stared twice, his hands arched, and he didn't care about the color on the faces of the five people in the hall, he shrugged his head, put his feet and went out.
Wulu Hun and the others in the hall were so bored, and they were not depressed in their hearts; Rong Huan and Wulu Lao You were not angry, they looked at each other, their lips opened, and they already wanted to drum their tongues and fight.
"This Chu Jin, so bold! Look at this king, not to mention bowing and asking for peace, he is so ......sloppy and sloppy" Wulu Lao looked at the beads, carefully tasted the look on the face of the people, opened his lips again, couldn't hold his breath, raised his palm and stroked it twice, in order to be smooth.
"When he enters the realm of Wulu one day, discipline him to see the king's methods!"
As soon as these words fell, Rong Huan couldn't help but swallow his mouth, snorted twice, and slowly smacked out the helpless emotion of the strong dragon who could not suppress the head snake in these words. After thinking about it carefully, he didn't dare to speak too quickly, but he just opened the folding fan shallowly and sent some cool breeze to his face.
"Brother Lu, can you see that Chu Gongzi's intentions?" Xu Liuliu frowned slightly, and asked Wulu Hun softly with his side cheek.
Wulu pursed the corners of his lips, his eyes darkened, and he sighed again and again, "His words and deeds, I am afraid that I will wait for a dismount, and punish me for a small sentence, and then ...... I'm afraid that it should also be considered, and at this time, it should not be implicated in this with Xianpeng Villa. After finishing speaking, Wulu shook his eyebrows, got up slowly, pursed his lips and then gave Xu Liuliu a look, "However, at this time, it is indeed the best policy to go straight to the point." ”
Xu Liuliu heard the voice, but he also understood, his eyes rolled, and he said to himself: "I hope this time, it is not good to be deaf and blind by hearing." ”
The five people in the hall had their own thoughts, and they were silent for a while, and the clouds of sorrow did not disperse.
On the second day, it was not half over.
Chu Jinguo set up a banquet in the small building in the middle of the lake, and invited Wuluhun and others to lunch together.
At this time, I saw the delicacies on the table, the water and the land were all on display, and I saw the good guests and sages on the seat, pushing the cup and changing the lamp.
The banquet was about a stick of incense, Wuluhun and others first reported their respective doors, and the five of them spoke, half of the truth - the truth was about Xianpeng Villa and Song Lou, and they avoided the identity of the Wulu royal family.
Chu Jin's words were light, and he didn't care about the untruths of a few people yesterday. Whispered softly, shh
Seeing this, Wulu Hun became more and more bottomless in his heart, on the one hand, he was worried that Chu Jin did not want to shed the muddy waters of Xianpeng Villa, and secretly concealed the whereabouts of the Xuan family brothers; on the other hand, he was afraid that he had taken the lives of those two people earlier than in the duel, and he would end up in a dilemma of no one alive and no corpse. No matter which of the two is, it is tantamount to cutting off the clue of the second son of the Xuan family. If this is the case, the Great Joy Palace is secretly doing something, and I am afraid it will be even more difficult to figure it out.
Thinking of this, Wulu Hun sighed, couldn't stop muttering, arched his fists, opened his lips and said: "Young Master Chu, the prestige of Yixiao Villa is well known to everyone in the rivers and lakes; However, as the saying goes, the king is good, but the little ghost is difficult. When I first came to Sioux City, I didn't know what was going on, and after thinking about it again and again, I didn't dare to tell the truth to the concierge and the ......."
Before he could finish his words, Chu Jin slowly raised his palm, stopped Wuluhun from speaking, frowned, and smiled softly: "I wish Gongzi this words, Chu understands it." When the rain falls, moisten the city, don't blame yourself, don't take such a small thing to heart. ”
Seeing this, Xu Liuliu had already gotten up, put his hands together, bowed down and made a big salute to Chu Jin.
"Young Master Chu, since I know that we are here from Xianpeng Villa, I think I know the deep meaning of staying here. A smile in the villa, chivalrous and beautiful, but ask the prince of Chu to help him, tell the whereabouts of the Xuanjia thief;
When Chu Jin heard this, he slowly stopped, raised his eyebrows and looked around, looked at the flowing water and flower path not far away, raised the corners of his lips, and said slowly: "Chu is a man of nature, who loves secluded habitat; There is no virtue and incompetence under it, but it is sublimated by the following, and the legacy of his father is followed, and he does not dare to be greedy for chivalrous fame. Although his father left, Chu still did not regard himself as the owner of the village. ”
After speaking, Chu Jin paused for a moment, got up slowly, put his feet close to the piano platform with one hand, put his feet close to the piano platform, put his five fingers together, lightly put the seven strings together, closed his eyebrows, raised his eyebrows and looked at the long sword on the opposite wall, and said with a chuckle: "Do you think, the wind and snow are the same as the carving of the arrow, which is more elegant?
Hearing that the four people in front of the table had blunt teeth and dry tongues, and they were silent, they turned their eyes around twice, smiled on their cheeks, and turned around and said to Chu Jinying: "Brother Chu is talented in literature and martial arts, why do you have to choose one of the two abilities of civil and military skills? Wouldn't it be more beautiful to have both?"
When Chu Jin heard this, he immediately smiled, put his hands on a pair, and clapped himself.
"Ease is hard work, abandonment of sweet is bitter; practice three nine in winter, practice three dogs in summer. In the end, in exchange for the praise of the long-cherished success, it is really interesting. ”
Wulu Hun and Xu Liuliu looked at each other, they were all covered by Chu Jin's words, and they couldn't figure out their minds, and they were about to think about some rhetoric to deal with, but they heard Chu Jin's words turn around, and said loudly: "The depression is scattered, and the rivers and lakes are dim." The matter of the owner of Xu Zhuang, Chu has already heard of it. The matter of the ring is not right or wrong, but in the bones of the earth, abandoning the wilderness, this is not a good thing. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the banquet was shocked.
"Young Master Chu, since this is the case, Wan Wang tells the truth, the second son of the Xuan family, has he ever been here?
Chu Jin's eyelids were raised, the tails of his eyes flew straight into the clouds, his lips opened, and he responded leisurely: "It's a pity that Chu has never seen the second son of the Xuan family, even if he has the heart to help, he has no choice but to do it." ”
"However," Chu Jin paused, and when he saw everyone's depressed and lost state, he blinked his eyebrows twice, hesitated a little on his face, and said in a slow voice: "However, a few days ago, there was indeed a down-and-out swordsman who came to challenge. Chu was not surprised, and after a few moves with him, he divided the victory and defeat, and sent him away. ”
"How many swordsmen are there? But all of them have scholarly looks, coarse old robes, hair and swords, and skinny?"
When Chu Jin heard the voice, he faced Xu Liuliu, bowed his head slightly, and answered softly, "There are indeed two swordsmen, and the description is similar to what Miss Xu said." It's a pity that the two people who came to my house came separately, one after the other. only said that he was a wanderer in the rivers and lakes, meeting friends with martial arts, and wanted to share a high level with Chu, and the rest of the things were omitted, and he never said anything. Chu thought that he still had something to ask for, and he knocked on the side several times, but it was illegal. As the saying goes, if you have no desire, you are strong, and the ancients did not deceive me. ”
Hearing this, Wen Renzhan couldn't comprehend Chu Jinyan's contemptuous and ridiculous meaning, he smacked his lips to himself, held a thin braid in both hands, and said in a coquettish voice: "Brother Chu, how is the victory?"
Seeing this, Chu Jin couldn't help but smile, shook his eyebrows twice, and responded softly: "Chu is not talented, and he won a small victory in two battles." ”
Wulu closed his eyes, raised his neck back, waited for a while, pursed his lips, and said again: "After the war, where will the two go, do you have any news from Gongzi Chu?"
Chu Jin hugged his arms forward, one side of his cheek, and said lightly: "He is defeated, and I am afraid that he will also lose the heart of drinking with Chu." Scribbled goodbye and hurried away. Chu really didn't know where he went, and Miss Wan Wangxu wished her son forgiveness. ”
Rong Huan was silent for a long time, but he was finally impatient at the moment, shook the fan, raised his voice and said, "Those two people, there is nothing useful to say?"
Chu Jin's neck was crooked, his eyebrows were raised and Rong Huan was straight, he didn't want to think about it, and immediately responded: "Chu is really not as good as Rong Gongzi to talk about the realm of destroying people." In the ring competition, we only use weapons, and we don't need to talk about it. ”
Rong Huan was ridiculed by Chu Jin's words, his face was already pale and pale, and he was about to turn his lips, and he heard Chu Jin laugh loudly: "Chu is not a person from the market, Xianpeng Villa is related to Song Lou, and I really don't want to investigate it deeply." It's just that now you are waiting for me to look for someone in Yixiao Villa, thinking that I have the guidance of Grandma Song Lou. Thinking about it like this, there is no doubt that those two must be Xuan's swordsmen. His swordsmanship moves are quite sharp, and he is extremely talented in changing his moves. If it weren't for the challenges they came to challenge, I am afraid that Chu would be difficult to break them one by one. It is not easy for the owner of Xu Zhuang to fight one against two, and the matter of the ring is ever-changing, the time and place are favorable, and there are thousands of subtleties. The frustrated ones are difficult to tie to the ants, and the proud ones can take the fish with a straight hook. All kinds of creation can't be carried out with the word 'life'. ”
As soon as these words fell, Xu Liuliu didn't know his intentions, and generally accepted the loss on his face, and forced a smile, although he felt half of his body paralyzed, he still gave up his strength, and slowly gave Chu Jin another look, and thanked him for saving face for Xu Zisi.
Seeing this, Chu Jin saw a solemn face, bowed back, and said softly: "Chu did not know the details of the two at the beginning, but he saw that they were thin and weak, and he was afraid that they would not be enough, so it was convenient to feast on the mountain dishes brewed in the village after the war, and he gave him a small amount of money, thinking that he would be already." In the next real ...... I'm really ashamed of Miss Xu's family. ”
When Xu Liuliu heard this, he already thought about Xu Zisi's generous hospitality to the two sons of the Xuan family that day. Originally cited as a friend of voice, it is resistant to life and death.
After pondering like this, Xu Liuliu couldn't help but feel hot at the bottom of his eyes, his nose was red, he raised his palm and slowly covered his face, and he was already choked up between his words, "What a shame... There is a prince of Chu...... Why should you deserve it?"
When several people saw this, they all saw gloom, sat down again, drank some stuffy wine without saying a word, swallowed and sat in the city of sorrow.
At this moment, I heard another commotion not far away. Wulu Hun did not see his person, but when he heard his voice, he already knew that it was the nine ladies of the villa who had arrived; the noise was from far and near, which directly caused Wulu Hun to heat his head and his brain was faintly numb.
Sure enough, after half a cup of tea, the nine ladies had already entered the small building in the middle of the lake together.
Chu Jin smiled on his face, and before he could greet a few people in turn, he was already surrounded by them; the ladies were pulling Chu Jin's sleeves and rubbing Chu Jin's cheeks, some laughing, some crying, and chattering to themselves, like hundreds of cicadas singing and brightening, and like thousands of stinky flies buzzing.
Suddenly, Rao is Wulu Hun is so well cultivated, he couldn't hold his brows and frowned, and sighed secretly in his heart: This long tongue prison is far more difficult than the tongue pulling prison. Thinking of this, Wulu raised his chin slightly, glanced at Chu Jin standing in front of him, shook his eyebrows and muttered softly, his face full of sighs.
The eldest lady lowered her eyebrows and looked at the plate in front of Chu Jin, and saw that there were only two green vegetables on it, and there were no chicken and fish bones, so she lightly grabbed Chu Jin's single palm into her own hand, and reprimanded softly: "Jin'er, how can you only eat cabbage sum these days, but the diet on the stove is not very satisfactory? You are the backbone of the family, how can you treat your body so lightly?"
The smile on Chu Jin's lips became thicker, and he bowed his head slightly, and immediately responded, "Worrying about the eldest lady, Jin'er's fault." Just because I ate too much meat some time ago, the dampness and heat are not strong, the turbidity is steaming, and the phlegm is coughing, which is very unpleasant. Then eat more light things and dissipate fire. ”
When the eldest lady heard this, she nodded in agreement, raised her palm and patted the back of Chu Jin's hand twice, and said slowly: "Wei Niang will order the stove later, and make some herbal tea for Jin'er to relieve fire and remove phlegm." ”
Chu Jin's face was quite well-behaved, and after a while, he looked around, and looked at the nine ladies carefully, this party stroked his chest, and sighed leisurely: "Jin'er returned late last night, and I didn't hear the servant's report, and I waited until this morning, and I heard about yesterday's Baoji'an." Jin'er wanted to go to your mother's place early to say goodbye, but unexpectedly, someone came to the villa early in the morning and messed up Jin'er's arrangement; it happened that last night she agreed to these friends from the rivers and lakes early, and set up a banquet at noon to catch the wind, so the matter of visiting her mother had to ......be postponed again and again."
When the eldest lady heard this, her face stretched even more, and she responded with a light smile: "Jin'er is responsible for the villa alone, how can you not know your hard work for your mother?" After a pause, the eldest lady's eyebrows tightened, and then continued: "I came this morning, but for the matter of Baoji'an yesterday?"
Chu Jin smacked his lips twice, the corners of his lips pursed slightly, and he was noncommittal.
Seeing this, the lady next to her already guessed in her heart, and it was not bad.
Chu Jin's head and neck were lowered, his face was bitter, he hesitated again and again, and finally opened his lips and said to himself: "Father built this village, the so-called is just eight characters - benefiting the poor and saving orphans, punishing evil and promoting good." Jin'er is not shy, and he thinks he is righteous; Now, however, ...... Jin'er knows that the brutal go unpunished, but it is difficult to get rid of them by herself...... It's so tormenting...... It's hard to put into words!"
Before the words fell, the other lady had already released the boat along the water, pulled the Jinpa to the tip of her nose, cried and cried, and wailed constantly, "My baby Jin'er, you just listened to the words of the townspeople, and you have been so indignant, you don't know yet, yesterday in the Baoji Nunnery, your Qiniang almost killed the bandit leader of Bayin Mountain!"
When Chu Jin heard the voice, his eyes were dark, his eyelids were lowered, and he said coldly: "Jin'er is not filial, and Qi Niang is really frightened." ”
Seeing this, the eldest lady snorted heavily, raised her eyebrows and sneered: "She is afraid that she is frightened by those thieves, and yesterday the first one in the nunnery untied the money bag and took off the jewelry, and handed over all the things worth some silver." ”
Chu Jin's eyebrows were tightened, his wrist trembled, and he said loudly: "Auntie, why did you go out yesterday and not go with the little girl in the courtyard?"
Before the eldest lady could speak, she heard the seventh lady raise her voice and howl: "How did our sisters know that Baoji'an is actually a wolf's den and Longtan? This went out early, and even the sedan chair did not dare to ride, and did everything himself, and walked to the nunnery to pay homage to the Buddhist relics. Who would have thought that...... Who would have thought that he would have seen a group of black-hearted thieves and nuns who were rotten through their stomachs, and they also happened to meet the living king of Bayin Mountain......"
The seventh lady snorted, spitting to the side, babbling in her mouth, all of which were miserable, and how dangerous it was to fall into the hands of thieves at that time.
Chu Jin seemed to be accustomed to it, he didn't see any impatience on his face, waited for a moment, and then sharply pulled out his palm from the palm of the eldest lady, clenched his fists with both hands, raised his eyebrows angrily, and put his feet and went out.
"Jin'er, Jin'er, where are you going?" The youngest Ninth Lady raised her arms and hurriedly followed in front of Chu Jin.
"Jiu Niang, don't stop me. If you are humiliated like this, Jin'er is ashamed, how can you bear to sit back and watch? Then she will go to Bayin Mountain alone and take the heads of the eight kings, which can be regarded as avenging yesterday's terrible revenge for your mother!"
As soon as these words fell, Mrs. Jiu's eyes turned red and she almost burst into tears.
"My son, how can this be? Don't forget the rules of Yixiao Villa!"
The eldest lady also came back to her senses at this time, thought for a moment, and ordered slowly: "Jin'er, no." What you Jiuniang said is true, the state has national laws, and the family has family rules. Since the villa had set up that rule earlier, how could it be abolished because of a false alarm yesterday? Moreover, the townspeople came to petition this morning, and since the villa rejected people with that rule, if you go there now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to judge the public, and you will not get a good reputation. ”
Seeing this, the seventh lady pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "Yesterday...... Where's the false alarm? We've really suffered a dumb loss. ”
"But I lost some silver, but I broke half of your hair?
Hearing the eldest lady's words, the seventh lady was already shoulders and hung her head, and she no longer dared to say a word, wronged, and only looked at Chu Jin's place.
Hearing that everyone was speechless, he couldn't help but feel irritated for a while, and after waiting for a while, he really couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, so he poked his tongue into his lips and asked: "Brother Chu, I don't know what Mrs. Fang Cai said, what are the rules?"
When Chu Jin heard this, he immediately turned around, looked at Rong Huan, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a chuckle: "If you want to find a smile villa to help, you must come to the village to see each other in person." If you want to find help, you have to bring the people in distress to the village, and if you want to take revenge, you have to bring people with you. Good and evil will be judged in the village. If Chu carries a sword out of the village, it will be a provocation and a lynching. ”
Wen Renzhan blinked twice, muttered to himself and whispered: "Therefore, if the Eight Great Kings don't come to the mountain villa in person, Brother Chu can't go to the Eight Sound Mountain to find him?"
Rong Huan snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows and responded: "Then I will use a plan to lure the enemy, why don't you invite you into the urn?"
On the side of Chu Jin's cheeks, he rolled his eyes coldly at Rong Huan, "Bayin Mountain has been evil for several years, robbing everywhere, but never come to me to laugh at the villa and make trouble." Brother Rong thinks that those flat-headed cloth clothes are richer and more rich than my laughing villa?"
"The bandit leader is shrewd. Deceive the good and fear the evil, what kind of hero is it?"
Wuluhun slowly hugged his arms forward, and said softly: "Mountain bandits are rampant, how can the government ignore them?"
"Before, there were officers and soldiers who went to Bayin Mountain to suppress bandits...... "The eldest lady sighed, shook her eyebrows and said bitterly: "It's a pity that both sides have been damaged, but they haven't shaken the foundation of the eight kings." The list has also been suspended, and the soldiers have also been out, and the eight kings are still free. The official also knew that I smiled at the rules of the villa, so he didn't bother him much. ”
A few people were talking to themselves, and they heard an urgent report from the little guy in the house, and the footsteps were getting heavier and heavier, and they saw the figure standing in front of them, and said respectfully: "Less... Young Owner...... There's a man outside the door... Say yes...... Say it's from ...... I came here to ask the young owner for a helping hand...... The lord of the royal palace ...... Rescue from the mountain of eight sounds!"
Chu Jin was stunned when he heard this, his lips opened slightly, and he muttered softly: "Yanjiu...... The county lord?"
When Rong Huan heard this, he came to his senses, his eyebrows flew, and he immediately said: "Yanjiu Wangfu, but the current lord's uncle, Yanjiu Wangye's mansion, the county lord, but the grandson of Yanjiu Wangye?
Several ladies looked at each other, their lips and tongues seemed to be glued to each other, and they couldn't say a word for a long time. Silent tea kung fu, but the eldest lady woke up like a dream, swallowed a thick saliva, opened her lips and said lightly: "The woman who was caught by the mountain bandits in the treasure hermitage...... Is... Lord Yanjiu?"
The remaining ladies hesitated for a moment, stumbling, and not very confident, "That... ...... full of words Vulgar girl, it's ...... The county lord?"
When Chu Jin heard this, his eyes closed, he raised his palm and pinched his eyebrows, shook his head to himself, his lips were not opened, and he was inexplicably eating and laughing.
