Although the "Jianlian Red Date Soup" is delicious, it can't fill the stomach after all, and the shopkeeper will deliver the meal after a while. The dishes are also rich, the chicken is available, Liu Baoan has a great appetite after recovering from the injury, and he ate three bowls of rice in a row, but Chen Xiuyuan is quite a little "unaware of the taste of meat", so he only sandwiched a few mouthfuls of vegetables on the green vegetable plate in front of him and pulled the rice in the bowl clean, and then stopped eating, and was in a daze on the side, waiting for Liu Baoan to finish the meal.

Liu Baoan saw that he had been sleeping with him recently, and he looked quite thin and haggard, so he persuaded him a few words kindly, and when he saw that he was in a daze, he didn't say anything anymore. It was easy to wait until Liu Baoan was full, patted his stomach slightly bulging, settled the account, and was about to open the room, but Chen Xiuyuan suddenly proposed to insist on sleeping with him, thinking that he was afraid that if there was anything urgent at night, Liu Baoan knew his kindness, so he followed, and the two only opened the room once. And the shopkeeper was worried that there were too many guests to stay and couldn't arrange it, so he was happy when he heard it.

Chen Xiuyuan lay on the couch, listening to the rain outside the window beating against the window by the wind, tossing and turning at first, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep. Fortunately, there were no twists and turns that night, and there was no word all night.

Early the next morning, the two of them got up and washed upstairs, and just went downstairs, Chen Xiuyuan's nose suddenly faintly smelled a faint fragrance, and his heart moved, and then he was overjoyed, and his heart suddenly jumped up. Liu Baoan saw that he suddenly came to his senses, and he felt strange, and suddenly saw a scholar walking by, dressed quite similar to Chen Xiuyuan, with a wide robe and a slow belt, rich and jade, and extremely handsome. When he turned his head to look at Chen Xiuyuan again, he saw that his face was in a daze, but he had already taken a step under his feet, his body was slightly frustrated, and he greeted the white-faced scholar.

I only heard Chen Xiuyuan say to the scholar: "Lu ...... Why are you here?" It was Lu Man who came, and Chen Xiu saw that she was dressed as a man and had another beauty, so he didn't call her "Miss Lu".

Lu Man saw him looking at him in a daze, his face turned red, and he said softly: "I...... I am a little worried, I will accompany you for a while, okay?" Chen Xiuyuan's chest was hot, his heart was grateful, and he was overjoyed: "Very good, very good! It couldn't be better." And he said, "You...... When did you arrive?" Lu Man smiled slightly and said, "We arrived here before and after, the "Jianlian Red Jujube Soup" yesterday tasted good, what were you thinking about while drinking the soup?"

At this time, Liu Baoan had also grabbed Chen Xiuyuan's side, and asked in a low voice in Chen Xiuyuan's ear: "Do you recognize this minister?" Chen Xiuyuan's face turned red and said in a low voice: "She is the head of Lu." He added, "She kindly came to give us another ride." Liu Baoan was stunned at first, and then hurriedly saluted Lu Man with a fist, Lu Man returned the salute, Liu Baoan thanked him first, and then said a few polite words to Lu Man, and then invited her to go on the road together.

At this time, there was suddenly a bearded and rough-looking man on the corner of the street who led a green horse, and he looked quite similar to Liu Baoan before he shaved his beard, the man led the horse to Lu Man's side, and bowed down and handed the horse reins and horse whip respectfully to Lu Man, and whispered: "The head of the house." The voice was delicate, like a warbler's cry, and it turned out to be a woman. Lu Man said a faint "um", then took the horsewhip, and after leading the horse, the "man" bowed down again, and when he got up, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Chen Xiuyuan wearing the "Suni Sword" on his waist, and the look of surprise on his face flashed, but then he calmed down as usual, turned around and went on his own, and after a while, a figure disappeared at the corner of the intersection.

The three of them got on the horse, Liu Baoan was very knowledgeable, and he controlled the reins first, far away from the two of them. Chen Xiuyuan and Lu Man rode horses and walked together, following them, Chen Xiuyuan thought to himself that Lu Man's martial arts were unfathomable, since he came to help, he only had to join forces with her, not to underestimate the heroes of the world, but even Xia Changying and other masters are not afraid, the world is so big, how many people can be stronger than Xia Changying? Where else can I go? For a while, I only felt peace and joy in my heart, but I felt that it was so long, and there was nothing else to ask for in life.

After about a meal, the three of them went out of the north city gate, to the northern suburbs of the city, Chen Xiu saw that the green horse riding by Lu Man was blue and white, although he felt that the horse was not unusual at first sight, he ran up, the long mane of the green horse was scattered, fast and steady, and the four hooves seemed to not touch the ground. Chen Xiuyuan couldn't help but praise: "This horse is so good!

Lu Man smiled slightly and said: "Exactly, Chen Gongzi has good eyesight, do you like it?" and then said: "I don't know what's wrong with this horse today, he always has a stubborn temper, and he can't control it, you are good at riding, work hard for your driving, can you help me cure it?"

Chen Xiu saw that the horse was actually obedient, and he didn't have any temper at all. Knowing that although Lu Man didn't say it explicitly, he had the intention of giving a BMW again, so he said that "the horse is stubborn and has a temper", and his chest was hot, thinking: I just got a sword from her, how can I ask for her BMW again, and said busily: "No, no!"

Lu Man smiled and said, "Don't you like it?" But I thought in my heart: Since you like this horse, after you praise it like this, I will naturally give it to you, but you don't have to be busy for a while, I will find another opportunity to give it to you in the future.

Chen Xiuyuan thought to himself: Miss Lu treats me really well, as long as her things are praised by me, I am afraid that there is nothing that I am reluctant to give to me. At this time, the childlike heart suddenly rose, and said: "Although this horse is good, how can it be as good as you, I think you are better......"

When Lu Man heard him say this, how could he not understand the meaning of his joke, his face turned red, and he pretended to make a face, and said angrily: "Bah! Okay, it turns out that you compare me with animals." Then the naughty and cunning look in his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly changed the conversation and said with a smile: "Did you sleep well last night?"

In fact, Chen Xiuyuan is not stupid, but for the first time a young man in the world falls in love with a woman, he will naturally be haunted by dreams and fascinated. At this time, when I met with Lu Man, I no longer suffered from the lovesickness, my heart was full of sweet joy, and my heart was a little calmer. Chen Xiuyuan saw the look of a smile in her eyes, and knew that although she was pretending to be an understatement on her face, she would never ask such a question for no reason. ”

I only heard Lu Man say: "The inn is white, and after you and Liu Yetai enter, it will turn black." ”

Chen Xiuyuan was puzzled, and said strangely: "I don't understand this." ”

Lu Man said: "After you stayed in the hotel, someone went in, tied up the shopkeeper and his wife, and changed this white shop to a black shop. A thief stripped off the clothes of the shopkeeper and put them on, thinking that they were afraid that Liu Yetai would walk the rivers and lakes all the year round, and the general sweat medicine would be seen through by him, so he made an appointment to work on the night shift and take advantage of the time when you were asleep to use the incense to ......" paused and said: "Originally, I didn't realize it, but a good little girl under my door saw Liu Yetai praising the 'Jianlian Red Date Soup' as delicious, and the little girl was very smelly, so she said that I wanted to go in and taste it, and I was entangled by her, so I had to agree." After we entered the store, we found that the shopkeeper and the kitchen had been replaced, so we became suspicious, and when we broke the face and started to move, the dry man was hit by me with a gold needle, and he fled, so I called the little girl to let the shopkeeper let them go. You have to be careful when you travel in the future, stay in the hotel and eat carefully, and don't fall for other people's tricks again. ”

Chen Xiuyuan was afraid, ashamed and grateful, and said, "Miss Lu, if you hadn't rescued you, I'm afraid that my eldest brother and I would have been poisoned at this moment." ”

At this time, I suddenly heard Liu Baoan calling the two of them loudly in front, and his voice was very anxious. The two of them were shocked and hurriedly galloped to catch up. It turned out that a large river suddenly appeared in front of it, blocking the way.

The spring rain has been stretching for several days, there is both rain, and there are rivers and valleys and springs, the crowd gathers obscenely, the waves are long, and the only stone arch bridge on the river has been washed away at night. Seeing the yellow muddy water in the river, the water is surging, although the river is not very wide, it is impossible to cross the river for a while.

So the three of them galloped along the riverbank, but not only did they not see any bridges, but for a time they could not find a single boat. Liu Baoan had no choice but to say: "Unlucky! Fortunately, there is a day before the time of the dart, and I can't cross the river today, so I have to come back tomorrow." Chen and Lu saw that they couldn't think about it, so they had no choice but to do so. Chen Xiuyuan and Lu Man glanced at each other, only to see that there was a faint joy in their eyes, it turned out that both of them wanted to get along for one more day in this way.

After the two accompanied Liu Baoan back to the inn, Chen Xiuyuan saw that Liu Baoan was worried and depressed, so he comforted him a few words. After a while, Liu Baoan confessed to Lu Man, and went to the upstairs guest room to rest.

Chen Xiuyuan saw that it was still early and the rain stopped, so he invited Lu Man to wander around the city and temples. As soon as the two of them left the door of the inn, Lu Man took out a cyan robe from the horse and said: "Yesterday, I went to the clothing store to buy a towel, and I brought more of this robe with me, and it is useless to keep it, so I might as well give it to you, and I hope that the son will not dislike it." Then he smiled slightly, and said, "You try it on and see if it fits." ”

Chen Xiuyuan's heart was hot, so grateful, and his hands trembled slightly when he took it. He and Lu Man met their eyes, and saw that her eyes were full of affection and infinite tenderness, so he put the new robe on the spot, but he felt that the waist sleeves of the robe were not uncomfortable, and he thought: Miss Lu is so careful, she must have seen the cold spring and my clothes are thin, so she specially bought this robe. There is no one in the world other than my mother who can be so warm and considerate to me...... Said: "I...... I...... Thank you so much. Lu Man smiled again, but didn't say anything more.

At this time, the two stopped riding horses and wandered side by side in the streets. Since Liu Baoan was not there, Chen Xiuyuan talked to Lu Man about the Heavenly Order, and said: "I once heard the eldest brother say that there is a saying in the rivers and lakes that 'ask Zhou Yi if everything is undecided', but in my opinion, the Heavenly Opportunity Order is really a bad thing, but I am still grateful to it!" Lu Manqi said: "Why?" Chen Xiuyuan said: "If it weren't for the Heavenly Order, you are like a goddess in the sky, how can I know you? Besides, when we first met, you were wearing the mask of a Guanyin Bodhisattva on your face. ”

Lu Manqiao blushed and said softly: "I'm not as good as you say, that mask was bought by the little girls to play around, I thought it was funny for a while, so I also took one and put it on my face." ”

At this time, the two talked along the way, roaming everywhere, that Jianning Mansion is the place where the Fujian Xingdu Division is located, but it is a big place, and they can't finish shopping for a while. Chen Xiuyuan said: "It's a pity that this place is quite far away from Wuyi Mountain, although your jade hoof horse is fast, it is inconvenient for me to be too far away from the eldest brother, otherwise we can go for a visit." He also said: "I once heard the master say that the Emei sect has 'one tree blooms five flowers, five flowers and eight leaves', the five flowers refer to the five regions, and the eight leaves refer to: monks, Yue, Du, Zhao, Hong, Hui, Zi, Hua Eight major sects, such a big sect, why do you respect the teacher ......"

Lu Man understood what he meant, and said, "You want to say that such a huge Emei sect master has passed on to a young woman like me, right?"

Chen Xiuyuan said: "Your martial arts are unfathomable, and there is nothing to say about your character, but there are only a lot of people in the huge Emei faction who are above you......

Lu Man heard him praise himself, and knew that he was from the heart, he was happy in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "Master once said that the reason why I was called the head of the sect and not passed it on to other elders was not because she was my aunt and was partial, but because the Emei faction was dominated by women, and the head of the sect must be outstanding in martial arts in order to stand on his own among the martial arts heroes." The master said that she watched all the people in the Emei Gate, and no one except me could pass it on, just because of their limited talents and limited achievements in martial arts, they could not practice her old man's acupuncture skills. However, I can gradually reach the first-rate realm in martial arts cultivation, not only as the head of Emei, but also as the master of her old man's acupuncture, so that the most profound martial arts of the Emei faction will not be lost. ”

Chen Xiuyuan said: "Well, it is very reasonable, you have a very high understanding, and the old man of the respected teacher has passed on the position of head to you, but the knowledge is superior." ”

Lu Man smiled faintly and said: "Actually, it is the master herself, when she was thirteen years old, she was already the first person in the Emei faction at that time, but the master said that in terms of her talent, the requirements for the 'first in the world' are still insufficient, saying that my understanding can be above her old man, so I have high hopes for me, hoping that I will have great achievements in martial arts in the future and shine on the Emei lintel...... But I had no intention of taking over the position of the head of the house, but Master ordered me to kneel before she died, she held this Emei hosta high above her head, and said that if I don't allow it, she will be sorry for the ancestors of Emei, and she has no face to meet them under the nine springs, and she will not blink her ......eyes" At this time, Lu Man remembered the master's voice and smile back then, his care, love, and ardent expectations, his eyes were full of tears, and his right hand pulled out the hosta in his hair and held it tightly in the palm.

After a while, Lu Man said again: "When this situation happened, I had to reluctantly agree, and the master said to me gently, in addition to being optimistic about the Emei faction and inheriting the Emei mastery, let me be careful to find one or two more wizards as soon as possible, and teach Emei martial arts, don't be like her who didn't find me until her twilight years...... Master also said that she also knew that these things were extremely difficult, but she knew that her life was not much, so she could only put this burden on my shoulders......"

Chen Xiuyuan saw tears in her eyes, obviously remembering the sadness in her late master's heart, and hurriedly turned the conversation, wanting to tell a few jokes and amuse her, so he said: "Your set of clothes is really beautiful and tight to wear, no wonder passers-by have to look back twice." And said: "You are already so handsome when you dress up as a man, fortunately you didn't change into women's clothes, otherwise ......"

Lu Man glanced at him and said, "What if you change into women's clothes?"

Chen Xiuyuan said with a straight face: "I'm afraid that I will look at the city and then the country...... People will say why the Guanyin Niang in the temple came out, so they bowed down to you and made a wish......"

Lu Man said angrily: "Phew, you are a good scholar, but where did you learn such nonsense and flamboyance!" Although Lu Man didn't laugh, he didn't cry for a while after fighting with him.

The two of them walked for a long time, and they were already hungry, when the smell of wine from the restaurant next to them came. The two did not discuss, so they went into the building together, there were flowers and trees, pavilions and pavilions, Chen Xiuyuan secretly praised in his heart: I can't imagine that there is a good restaurant here! Lu Man remembered the drinking in the land temple that night, and his cheeks couldn't help but turn red again. At this time, a shopkeeper had already come over to greet him with a smile, led through a corridor, and picked a private room by the window to spread cups and chopsticks. Lu Man ordered wine and food, and the restaurant went down to give instructions on his own.

After a short time, the bartender served the food and drinks, the food was brewed well, and while drinking, I watched the street scene by the window, and I was in a good mood. Seeing that Lu Man didn't seem to be too interested in the street scene, but looked at the mountains in the distance in a daze, Chen Xiuyuan thought that she might be sad for a while, so he said: "Ask what can make 'Jun' happy? I see how charming the green mountains are, and I expect the green mountains to be like this." ”

At this time, Lu Man finally smiled, and saw that he was amused by Xin Youan's "He Bridegroom, Prosperity and Decline", so he also replied casually with the last two sentences of this poem: "Those who know me, the second and third sons." ”

Chen Xiuyuan saw that she was knowledgeable, and her heart was also very happy, and he said in his mouth: "Hearing your wonderful singing voice by the lake that day, it was really three days of wandering, and the aftertaste is endless." Confucius heard Shao music and 'I didn't know the taste of meat in March', I heard the girl's singing, and I chased Shao music beautifully. I'd love to hear you sing again!"

Lu Manqiao smiled and said, "If you want to hear me sing, I'll sing it to you, but don't laugh at me." ”

Chen Xiuyuan hurriedly said: "I really like it." ”

At this time, although Lu Man was pretending to be a man, but the robe was very wide, I saw her Yingying get up, the water sleeves are soft, Kun tone is graceful, but what she sings is a fold in Tang Xianzu's "Peony Pavilion" in Kunqu Opera, only to hear her sing: "Women in the world are affectionate, rather than Du Liniang! After three years of death, he was able to regain his ability to seek the life of his dream. If she is like a beautiful girl, she can be said to have a lover's ear. I don't know what to do, go deep, the living can die, and the dead can live. Those who are born and cannot be resurrected, and those who die and cannot be resurrected are not lovely. The love in the dream, why is it not true, there are few people in the dream in the world......?

Chen Xiuyuan listened to the opera with his mother when he was young, and at this time he listened to this tune elegantly and tactfully, the lyrics were elegant and gorgeous, and Lu Man's singing style was delicate, soothing, and euphemistic. It is as delicate and soft as the water-mill lacquerware, water-milled glutinous rice flour, and water-milled rice cakes of the Jiangnan people, and there are all kinds of tenderness. Hearing the obsession, I couldn't help but drink the wine in the small cup, clapped loudly, and cheered: "Sing well, the words are good, 'I don't know what to do, go deep, the living can die, and the dead can live.'" Those who are born and cannot be resurrected, and those who die and cannot be resurrected are not lovely. 'True, even affectionate!'
