This April in the south of the Yangtze River is moistened by the rainy season, and the scenery is more interesting than the old knowledge. "Ten miles of smoke and willows are on the long embankment, thousands of flying flakes are disturbing, hundreds of miles of boating on the light waves, and a city of flowers and green yarn" is talking about this Jinling Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. And the most famous in Jinling Mansion is the bank of the Qinhuai River.

On the river, a canopy boat slowly moves in it, which is particularly eye-catching among the many painted boats with red makeup and green and gold powder. It was nearly noon, and most of the ladies and girls in the painting boat closed their doors to rest, recuperating their spirits and attracting good customers at night, so this Wupeng boat floated on the river all the way to the small number of people, and rowed straight to a large painting boat in the Qinhuai River without hindrance.

This large painting boat is called "Tianxin Fang", it is the top boat in the Qinhuai River, the body is made of white jade inlaid with nanmu to form the skeleton of the crested bird's body, there are three layers of golden and green pavilions erected on the deck, the lacquer light of the carved railing painting can be seen, and it looks like a white jade phoenix in the river from a distance.

In the past, Tianxinfang did not accept ordinary tourists, and even princes and nobles had to be notified in advance and invited in advance. But today, the canopy boat is like no one on the side of the Tianxin boat, not waiting for the hull to dock steadily, a person wearing a lake-colored robe, the figure swayed out of the bow of the boat with a move "Chengping Wangyue" on the deck, raised his head to dry the wine in the pot and threw it casually, the wine pot "plopped" and fell into the river, and only after burping did he shout in a loud voice: "Su Yao, this Taoist master sees that you are here, do you still have good wine!"

There are many people with such loud voices, but the only ones who can be so bad on the Qinhuai River are those who are drunk. The maids in emerald green pleated clothes on the Tianxin Boat heard the sound and looked back and were surprised to see the comer, so they swarmed into the cabin like ghosts to ventilate and report the news.

Drunkenness has long been commonplace for this, so he paced to the side in a hurry, and lifted the wooden ladder with one hand to ride it to the Upong boat, only to hear a lazy response from the cabin: "Who should I be?" But in any case, you have to pay for the last three times of wine, otherwise the little woman will not dare to take credit again with the ability of the Taoist to come and go without a trace. After that, a beautiful woman slowly walked out of the shadows in the cabin, and she didn't know what her posture was, but her tone was as graceful and crisp as the yellow warbler out of the valley.

Listening to the familiar tone, he said disapprenorantly: "Haha, don't be busy asking for accounts! Don't be busy asking for accounts! This time I saved the lives of your disciples halfway, and this life is worth more than the wine money on credit plus fifty jars of aged flower carvings." ”

"Oh?"

After whispering surprise, a woman in a white plain dress with a flying fairy bun came out of the shadows, looking at her face, although she was smiling like a flower, but the willow eyebrows were clearly with three points of disbelief and faint vigilance. This woman is the drunken Shu Yao, who serves as the palm needle, dancer, Nayun, and dancer in the four shows of Taisu Fang, and is in charge of all the external affairs in the workshop, and can be said to be the first expert under the owner Zhuo Yuqing.

And just when Su Yao was suspicious, he saw a woman on the bow of the boat holding a sword from the house and a plain white dress slowly ascending the ladder to get the boat, and after seeing the face of the person who came, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but light up and hurriedly stepped forward, and called out crisply: "It turned out to be Sister Suyi! ”

Su Yao deliberately put the instant drunk aside, Bai Suyi pushed her hands and said shyly: "Sister is not busy, I also brought two friends here." ”

"Friends?"

Su Yao's eyes flickered, and he saw two men boarding on the wooden ladder one after another, these two people were very different from drunk in terms of demeanor and behavior, and they saluted as soon as they got on the boat. A man wearing an ink-colored shirt with a handsome face stepped forward and said, "Mo Zhongqing, a disciple of the Cloud Trace Sect, say hello to Sister Shu Yao." ”

Shu Yao didn't reply immediately, but looked at this kid with fixed eyes, seeing that he was so distracted by himself that he didn't dare to look directly, he looked at Bai Suyi beside him again, and his heart was suddenly happy, he covered his mouth with his hands, and opened his lips and said tentatively: "Yo, my heart melted when my sister screamed, and my mouth was so sweet as soon as I came, I think you have to be careful, plain girl, I think you have to be careful." ”

"Huh?"

Bai Suyi was stunned for a moment, and when she looked back, she felt a little hot, and changed the topic: "I'll introduce someone to my sister, this is the guest ...... who I haven't seen for many years." ”

Speaking, Bai Suyi will meet Qi Yanzhi along the way, how to get out of the government and how to meet the Flower Valley Flying Pigeon to get drunk, during which he was full of praise for him, and he was full of surprise when he heard it, and he looked at this guest who had never spoken and did not know the truth or falsehood.

I saw that his long hair was draped on the white brocade and tied in a bun behind him, a strand of green silk on his forehead hung from the sideburns to the placket, and a smile on his face, intentionally or unintentionally, seemed calm, giving people a kind of unfathomable mystery of mountains and rivers. Shu Yao looked at his appearance three times from beginning to end, and with the experience of more than ten years, he still couldn't see the slightest clue.

was hesitating, but heard this person move his sleeves slightly, and said: "Cloud Trace Mountain Qi Yanzhi, I came to visit, I heard that the Taisu Sixiu Sword Dance is excellent and won the true legend of the owner, today I can see the dance and embroidery girl's eyes are clear, the divine light is restrained, and the pace is light and secretly in line with the ninety-nine techniques in the Taisu Xuan Sutra, presumably the sword dance has six or seven points of fire, but it is just ......." ”

This Qi Yanzhi didn't open his mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he said that Shu Yao's martial arts path score was not bad, and even his own level was not far from ten, and in the end, seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, he couldn't help but hurriedly asked: "Just what? I hope Mr. will give you advice." ”

Qi Yanzhi pondered for a moment and replied: "I am fortunate to witness the sword dance of the old owner himself. The old owner's sword dance can be said to be as dynamic as thunder and quiet as a virgin, and the sharp swordsmanship is integrated into the graceful dance posture to play a wonderful role in rigidity and softness, and on the other hand, the girl's pace is soft and less than a little sharp taste. ”

When they heard this person say that they had seen the sword dance of the master of Zhuo Fang with their own eyes, the suspicion in their hearts was even more gone, and they gave a dignified salute, "Tai Su Fang Dance Su Yao welcomes Keqing back to the workshop." ”

Qi Yanzhi said with a smile: "The girl doesn't doubt the identity of the guest qing? In fact, I still have a piece of yang jade here to use as a proof." ”

Su Yao's cheeks were slightly red, and Ying Ying bowed again: "There are only a handful of men who can see the shape of the owner with their own eyes, and even fewer people who make the owner willing to dance for him." Even if she is just a little Su Yao, she can only smell it when she is teaching. The owner said that the sword dance is related to the individual's heart, and Su Yao has not been contaminated with the world for a long time, and his cultivation has long been unable to reach the realm of "sword heart is clear". It's my plain-clothed sister who has a firm heart and is simple and innocent, but it is a material for learning martial arts, and this trip to Jiangling is thanks to the help of Keqing, thank you!"

Qi Yanzhi smiled slightly, and listened to the words of the two drunkenly, and couldn't bear the faint smell of wine wafting from the boat, so he sniffed hard and said: "Stop, stop, stop, you two are sour enough, just praise each other, and don't even mention me, the big hero who rescued you and escaped from the devil's cave, a big chivalrous guest." It's okay if you don't tout, and you can compensate for it with good wine. ”

As soon as he blurted out, he was immediately glared back into his stomach by Su Yao, and couldn't help touching his head, and said: "Okay Su Yao, tell me where the 'old flower carving' is hidden, so you can quickly take these people to Taisufang, and I will take them myself, don't bother, don't bother." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Mo Zhongqing suddenly felt that his face burned badly, and when he saw this for the first time, he was drunk as if a god had descended, and although some gods chattered in the future, he could barely be regarded as a master's strange temper, but now seeing him begging in such a low voice, he almost wagged his tail and begged for mercy, the difference between before and after can be imagined, the original hero image in his mind collapsed, and he sighed to himself, only to look at the wonderful eyes of Su Yao, and said: "Hmph, Well, Shu Yao will write off the previous account in the face of saving the small owner, and as for the wine, it is in the same place, and the Taoist chief's knowingly asked measurement is not very clever. ”

"Yes, yes, not smart, not smart, you talk! Talk slowly!. ”

Before he could say this, he was drunk and perfunctory after three steps and two steps, and quickly entered the cabin, and looked at the impatient posture If it wasn't for Su Yao's consent, he would have to do something to steal chickens and dogs to satisfy his hunger. As soon as he left before he was drunk, Qi Yanzhi frowned lightly and asked, "Do you often come to this Tianxinfang to drink when you are drunk?"

Su Yao replied respectfully: "Back to Keqing, this guy comes here every once in a while to beg for wine, and when he drinks, he gets drunk, and he doesn't return for days when he gets drunk, and he doesn't pay the money, but this person doesn't eat or drink and sleeps on the wine altar and can't wake up." The sisters were worried that he would die in his sleep, so they thought about Fang Er waking him up. Once, he was tied to the wine jar and placed in the river to force him to wake up, but he was not very strong, and as soon as he entered the water, the man took off the wine jar and sank, and the sisters did not have time to call for help, but after a while, the man floated on the water and continued to sleep, and after scooping him up, he found that he was breathing smoothly, and the dripping water did not enter the nasal cavity. ”

Shu Yao said this slowly, and Mo and Bai were dumbfounded when they heard it, but Qi Yanzhi was thoughtful and asked, "Then didn't he go to the Jiangzhong Taisufang except for this Tianxinfang?"

"It's... There shouldn't be, the inner fang has a strict access control, palm needles, Nayun, and mining machines, all of the three shows are better than my martial arts, even if this guy escapes the eyes of the three sisters no matter how high he is, can he avoid the owner of the fang?"

Seeing Qi Yanzhi nodding, he continued: "Qi Keqing is coming from afar, please go to the cabin for a while, and the disciple Su Yao will order the sisters to sail the boat to Taisufang in the middle of the river." ”

After speaking, I saw Shu Yao saluting Qi Yanzhi's revenge again, pulling Bai Suyi to walk happily in front and whispering, Qi Yanzhi and Mo Zhongqing were hanging far behind. Along the way, I went up from the spiral staircase and found that the cabin was clean and elegant, not stained with dust, and it was obviously cleaned every day.

After Shu Yao arranged Qi and Mo into a cabin carved with jade carvings on the third floor, she pulled Bai Suyi and retreated. After a while, I saw that the Tianxin Boat slowly turned its crest, pulled up the main sail and went towards the source of the Qinhuai River, and when it reached the source and entered the heart of the river, the wings and sails on the Tianxin Boat unfolded one after another, like a phoenix spreading its wings towards Taisufang.

Jiangnan Taisufang usually takes in orphaned girls and young babies in various places, and those who can endure the Qing Dynasty will be included in the inner square to practice martial arts, and the qualifications are generally and can not bear the loneliness of the people who teach to sing and dance, female red and so on to make a living, so the workshop is divided into two workshops inside and outside, the outer square is passed on in the world, many can sing and dance, the spirit weaving wonderful spinning generation, the inner workshop is to self-cultivation as its own responsibility, teaching disciples to play the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting female workers singing and dancing, naturally, to protect the outside of the world from the world is also its duty.

The first head of Sufang is said to be a man, and his name has long been unknown because of his age, but he has passed down the sword dance and the Taisu Xuanjing. Later, in the generation of Gongsun, in order to take in more orphan girls, Taisufang gradually expanded out of the outer fang, hoping that these women would have a skill so that they already had a place to live in the world.

But since there is a difference between the inside and outside of the workshop, Taisu Fang has gradually integrated with the world, and after the painstaking management of the generation, in the past ten years, the workshop has gradually evolved from the initiative to adopt orphan girls at the beginning to some poor parents take the initiative to send their daughters into the workshop, in order to learn a skill, so as to settle down.

Naturally, among them, there are also powerful people who send concubines to the workshop to receive employment, so although its scale is becoming more and more prosperous, but the qualifications are inevitably uneven. The owners of the past generations were unbearable, and finally rejected these dignitaries, and this group of people saw that the internal defense was so unkind, so they flowed to the outer square.

Therefore, the outer fang, which originally aims to sell art and not sell, has a great tendency to develop into folk green houses because of the dumping and temptation of popular customs.

Therefore, in recent years, many of the inner sisters look down on the outer sisters, thinking that they can't clean themselves but are willing to degenerate, and their outer disciples don't want to see these noble people who don't know the hardships of life.

Therefore, the gap between the inner and outer squares is deepening, and there is a tendency to intensify. In order to alleviate this crisis, successive generations of owners have had any way to curb the decline of the inner workshop without limiting their qualifications, but even so, the inner workshop is still very few people. The reason is that there are a lot of rules in the inner square, and most of the women are not used to living hard and cultivating after becoming art, and they live like a day for ten years, but in the end, most of the people who can stay are women who can endure loneliness, so the people in the inner square are not confused by external desires, and most of them will not marry for life.

Taisu Inner Fang is not like the outer square of Kyushu everywhere in the flowers, but alone in the river island community, between the islands in order to facilitate the passage of the Feihong Covered Bridge, ring to connect. Wait for a few rays of sunlight to break through the mist around the island, and you can see the faint green bricks and tiles, the eaves and corners, the Guidian Orchid Pavilion, and the pavilions and water pavilions under the shade of the large green shade.

Tianxin Fang sailed into the dock of Neifang, and everyone left the boat and docked, stepping on a piece of gray-white sand and slowly moving towards the island. Along the way, the green trees are sandwiched between the paths, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and at the end of the line, I encounter a courtyard.

There is a large gate that opens outward, and the surrounding is blocked by the white wall cornices, and through the flower windows on the wall, you can see the inner courtyard with layers of buildings, and the winding path is deep and deep. On the left side of the door, an old white jade tablet is engraved with three big characters: Taisufang. When everyone climbed the stairs and entered the door, Mo Zhongqing fell at the end, but he happened to see a row of extremely thin Juanxiu carvings on the lower right side of the stele, which read: Taishang is forgetful and has no heart. Looking at the words and the "Taisufang" that is completely different from the thick brushwork, it is obvious that it is the latecomer who added the carving, Mo Zhongqing looked at the eight words and thought in his heart.

As soon as he entered the door, he followed the footsteps of everyone and saw that there were no disciples in the door, and he was wondering, but he saw Shu Yao, who was the leader, stopped in front and said to the empty courtyard: "Sister Zhangzhen, the girl in plain clothes is back with two guests, and Sister Lao is taking it to meet the owner." ”

Although the sound is not loud, it echoes around for a long time, and I don't know what mechanism can be used to achieve such a point. But after a while, a female voice mixed with a hint of majesty came from all directions: "Got it." ”

Shu Yao heard this reply, turned her head and whispered a few words to Su Yi, and suddenly looked at Mo Zhongqing again, and said, "Don't talk nonsense in a while, you kid, Sister Zhangzhu is the most old-fashioned and stern of the four of us, but she is not as easy to get along with as me." ”

Mo Zhongqing heard that before he could reply, he heard her turn her head and salute Qi Yanzhi dignifiedly: "Su Yao is entangled in mundane affairs, so let Sister Zhangzhen accompany Keqing to meet the owner, early tomorrow morning, I will sail Tianxinfang back to wait for Keqing, if there is a Yaxing tour of Jinling, please let Shu Yao accompany you again." "Say goodbye and take a salute and turn back alone.

This Mo Zhongqing had already moved frequently in his heart with the strange echo of the other party, and as soon as Su Yao left, he secretly looked around, if it weren't for his identity, maybe he would have been looking around, Bai Suyi couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw him like this: "Zhongqing, don't look at it, in fact, this echo is ......"

"What is it?"

This sudden female voice was naturally not Mo Zhongqing, but from the mouth of the woman in white in the distance, just look at her dressed in white, with cold eyebrows and a solemn face, although it was only three words, Bai Suyi was shocked, and hurriedly said: "No, nothing, it's just this Mo... The young man wanted to ask how the echo came from. ”

The palm needle was displeased: "Hmph, who allowed you to leak the method of transmitting sound in this workshop to outsiders?"

"But, Mo Shaoxia is not an outsider. Bai Suyi replied timidly.

When the palm needle heard this, his eyes were like electricity, he swept back and forth on Mo Zhongqing's body, and then looked at Bai Suyi and said, "Aren't you an outsider?" ”

On the side, Mo Zhongqing originally saw Bai Suyi shouting to himself Zhongqing's heart couldn't help but be a little happy, but before he could reminisce, he saw that Suyi had been repeatedly reprimanded, and his heart was inexplicably unhappy, and he stepped forward and said: "Sister Zhangzhu misunderstood, the girl in plain clothes said that she is not an outsider, it is because Mr. Qi is a guest of your faction, and Mr. is also half of my master, so he should have some relationship with your faction." ”

Mo Zhongqing knew that what she said was a bit far-fetched in a hurry, and she thought that the palm needle would point the finger at herself, but she didn't expect that she didn't seem to hear it, and she didn't look at herself and continued to say to Bai Suyi: "Easily trust others, get involved in the dust for no reason, as the palm needle, I will punish you to copy the 'Neifang Canon' three times, give it to me tonight, do you accept it or not?"

Bai Suyi raised his eyebrows, bit his lip and said: "Suyi doesn't dare to disagree, so I'll copy the scriptures." ”

Bai Suyi wanted to leave with his front feet, and Mo Zhongqing behind him saw that this palm needle was so aggressive, so he wanted to speak again, but Qi Yanzhi on his side had already intercepted and said: "Don't you know Zhu Xiaoya? ”

The palm needle was stunned, a trace of surprise flashed on his cold face, and then he walked into Qi Yanzhi, fixed his eyes, and only after a while did he salute and said: "Disciple Zhu Jianqiu is rude, it's not that he doesn't recognize Keqing, but I can't believe that Keqing is still so young after many years, which shows that his medical skills are getting better and better." ”

"In that case, it's better to sell the next thin noodles and leave it at that. ”

Qi Yanzhi said this, the palm needle hesitated for a moment, but he really said "That's it", and said: "Since it is really Keqing who is back, then please follow Jianqiu, the owner is now Luoxiaxuan." ”

After speaking, he took the first step, and Bai Suyi saw that Qi Yanzhi's fluttering words actually made the palm needle change his mind, which had never had a precedent in the past, and he felt more and more that Qi Keqing's identity was really mysterious.

This thought flashed in his mind, and he was about to raise his steps to keep up with everyone, but when he saw Mo Zhongqing waiting for him, he couldn't help but look gloomy, and deliberately said coldly: "Mo Shaoxia, you don't have to wait for me when you go ahead." Mo Zhongqing was stunned when he heard this, so he had to follow Qi Yanzhi to the depths of the courtyard.
