Zhou Zizhi breathed a sigh of relief, no hostility could be heard from the sound of these horses' hooves, and it seemed that he wanted to rest here just like himself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that the sound of these horses' hooves is quite different from the ordinary hooves, and it seems to be much more crisp, faintly with the sound of Jinge.
At this time in the Southern Song Dynasty, the horseshoe had not yet appeared, only Guanlan Villa was equipped, and it was kept secret, so its hoof sound was different from the ordinary dull, and it was much more crisp.
The firelight danced on Zhou Zizhi's handsome face, making his eyes brighter and brighter, and he looked closely in the direction of the bend in the woods.
As the carriage and the horses approached the fork in the road, two horses suddenly joined in, and the sound of their hooves hurried, and they came towards the place where he was.
In the blink of an eye, in the twilight, two black horses rushed like arrows, and a cloud of smoke behind him rose into the air like a long jiao, Zhou Zizhi's heart couldn't help but tighten, and her slender right hand gripped the hilt of the sword again.
His white horse, which was leisurely eating the ingredients, also raised his head, and his front hooves were lightly planed, neighing twice, quite eager to try.
Zhou Zizhi squinted his eyes, looked at the two horses rushing over, and slowly stood up.
The two riders swept like a gust of wind, took Huang Chen to the foot of the octagonal pavilion steps, and then the person stood up, hissed lightly, landed his hooves steadily, and stepped on the stone steps in front of the stone steps, the difference was a millimeter.
"This brother, it's polite!" Immediately, a knight in a green shirt clasped his fists and saluted, his upper body was as tall as a pine, and his bearing was calm, which was quite different from his young face.
"Courteous!" Zhou Zizhi, the wind-chasing swordsman, couldn't help but return the salute with his fists, and quietly looked at the two knights on the horse, he stood in the pavilion, and the two people on the horse were just at eye level.
"Hehe, my wife wants to rest here for one night, there is a lot of trouble, I wonder if this brother Tai minds?" The young knight whose appearance was not inferior to Zhou Zizhi in any way had a kind face, and he didn't look like a person who broke into the martial arts.
Zhou Zizhi breathed a sigh of relief and returned the salute with a fist: "It's okay to be here, you can do it yourself!"
He thought he was going to drive himself away, looking at their heroic horseback posture, very similar to strong figures, but he didn't expect to be so kind.
"Then thank you brother!" The two knights lifted the reins slightly, and in the faint light of the fire, the horses that seemed to be dressed in black satin turned lightly, and the flesh of the bullock on their legs rolled faintly, and in the blink of an eye, the hooves disappeared into the rising mud and dust.
Orr, the sound of the sparkling carriage became louder and louder, and a rather large carriage appeared in the twilight, pulled by two tall horses, approaching slowly and gracefully.
The two handsome knights who had galloped over opened the way in front, and the two female knights with fluttering green silk followed behind the carriage and were also responsible for the guards.
Because the twilight was already thick, Zhou Zizhi couldn't see their faces clearly, but seeing the graceful figure on their horseback, it was already extremely moving, as if they were as weak as everyone's ladies, and there was no heroic and refreshing atmosphere of martial arts children.
Although it was only four guards and a carriage, this carriage and four horsemen had an inexplicable majesty, which made Zhou Zizhi can't help but get up, and use a branch to move the angry fire in the center of the pavilion to the side in order to move out of the place.
"Yu-!" An old voice of vicissitudes of life sounded, quite loud, and the carriage that slowly came to the front of the Octagonal Pavilion slowly stopped.
When he got closer, Zhou Zizhi could already see clearly that the carriage of this carriage was about two sizes of ordinary horses, and it really needed two horses to pull it.
The wide carriage is painted with dark color, which seems to be quaint, faintly revealing a mystery, and the two horses on the cart are also rare horses, standing on the pine side, not moving, like statues.
"Madame, here we are. The old man who was driving turned to the carriage respectfully, and his voice sounded a little older than his white beard and ruddy face.
They said, "Rest here." A quiet and evocative answer came from inside the carriage.
Her voice seemed to carry the aroma of ordinary orchids, which was intoxicating, and Zhou Zizhi, who was standing in front of the fire, couldn't wait to step into the carriage immediately, wanting to see the true face of the person who spoke.
The male and female knights guarding the four corners of the carriage dismounted, the two male knights were handsome and straight, and their heroic spirit was scattered between the steps, which made Zhou Zizhi feel stunned, and secretly compared, feeling that the martial arts of these two people were not under him.
And the two female knights, but Nana, walked like willows supporting the wind, the woman's softness was fully revealed, and the long sword at the waist seemed to be hanging beautiful, and she would not use it.
Her face is even more radiant and beautiful, even if her eyes are above the top, the swordsman chasing the wind with empty eyes is a beautiful woman who swayed from her heart and sighed secretly.
The four horses, without being led, took small steps on their own, slowly came to the pine forest, and rested under the pine trees.
One of the two men stood by the carriage to guard it, while the other burrowed into the pine forest and disappeared.
Two beautiful girls with delicate and graceful bodies walked to the back of the carriage, opened the three-foot-long hood behind the carriage, and took out a large package from under the carriage, rolled it into a barrel, about one of them high, and had to be embraced.
The other woman brought out a flat box, about the length of a man's arm, and by her cautious demeanor, it was clear that it contained valuables.
The two women were holding packages and long boxes of the same size as them, without any difficulty, as if they were just holding a straw, and Zhou Zizhi, who was watching from the sidelines, knew that the martial arts of these two beautiful women must be extremely clever and not inferior to themselves!
The two women walked up the stone steps, with a faint fragrance, and came to the octagonal pavilion, and glanced at Zhou Zizhi, who was dressed in white and white with a sword, and the beauty of the shawl was as bright as black satin, constantly flickering in the firelight.
The fragrance entered the nose, Zhou Zizhi was like being in the middle of the road, only to feel that her neck was stiff and could not turn, but her whole body was softened by the fragrance, and their surging autumn waves flashed in front of her eyes, which seemed to be clear water in a secluded pool, so clear and attractive, that she couldn't extricate herself.
The two women were not surprised by Zhou Zizhi's gaffe, and there was not even a little fluctuation on their pretty faces, they saw a lot of it, and they were not surprised.
Ignoring the stunned Zhou Zizhi as nothing, they began to get busy, the big package was untied, it was actually a rolled carpet, I don't know what kind of fur it was, silver shining, like the best mink fur, as if there was light flowing in it.
The flat box was opened, and the warm light suddenly flashed, and in the thick cotton cloth, the box was divided into small compartments one by one. There are cups, cups, bowls, plates, pots, etc., and the daily utensils are complete, all of which are carved from white jade.
In each small lattice, it is stuffed with a snow-white and flawless cotton cloth, making the white jade vessel like a quagmire. It is not surprising that these jade objects were shattered by shock.
Zhou Zizhi, who was watching blankly, couldn't help but be speechless, even if he was born in a wealthy family, he had never seen such a luxurious use, he also had a little vision, and he knew at a glance that these jade artifacts were not ordinary, and his net worth was afraid that he couldn't afford one.
The breeze was blowing, the firelight was swaying, and the two women's pale green Luo shirts and dresses were also styled, and a young girl glanced at it, looking at the direction where the wind was blowing, and then took a step, selected a location, and laid down the thick carpet, just against the wind.
Another girl took out the carved white jade wine jug with a simple and vigorous carving, placed it on the silver carpet, and then took out the white jade cups one by one, took out a total of seven jade cups, and lined them up next to the white jade wine jug, and then closed the flat box and placed it next to the railing.
At this time, the male knight who disappeared came to the pavilion with a bunch of dead branches and leaves, gently placed them opposite the two women, and smiled at the stunned Zhou Zizhi with him, quite friendly.
Zhou Zizhi also responded with a smile, but he was even more vigilant, he had been walking in the martial arts for a while, and he would not relax his vigilance because of the other party's smile.
The bonfire rose quickly, and Zhou Zizhi couldn't help but overturn the original idea, this person is definitely not a tender hand who has never broken into the rivers and lakes, just looking at his ability to make a fire, he must be a veteran of the wilderness, and he is quite inferior.
With the addition of this fire, the entire pavilion suddenly became much brighter, reflecting the jade faces of the two girls more and more charming and charming.
The other young knight, seeing his companion coming with firewood, ceased to stand and look around and watch out, and went into the pine forest, and soon reappeared, carrying in his hand two large stones, about arm's height and square.
The male knight who had finished the fire jumped lightly, stepped on the railing, stepped out, and fell directly to the other male knight, took a stone, and then the two of them walked this way, while stroking the stone, and the stone powder fell down, and was blown away by the night wind.
When stepping on the stone steps and arriving at the small pavilion, when the two of them put down their four heads, the two stones had turned into eight pieces, like eight carved square pillars, one end was square, the other end was slightly round, and the shape was quite strange, which made Zhou Zizhi, who was watching quietly, awe-inspiring and a little confused.
The other person left, and after arriving at the carriage, what he brought over was two small iron pots, one with a round bottom and one with a flat bottom, Zhou Zizhi suddenly realized at this time, it turned out that they were going to make a fire here to cook!
The two iron pots are supported by four stone pillars, which are stable and stable, but they also look similar, which makes Zhou Zizhi deaf, and feels that this lady is too pompous!
"Madame, it's ready. A female knight descended the steps with Nana and came to the wide carriage, and bowed and bowed, and her voice was delicate and pleasant.
Zhou Zizhi no longer bothered to look at the delicate and exquisite white jade cups and white jade pots on the low sugar, and stared at the carriage, wanting to see what this pompous Mrs. Feng looked like.
The door of the carriage was gently pushed open, and Ying Ying walked down a woman with an extremely graceful figure, dressed in a light blue Luo shirt, her face was as white as jade, and as elegant as an orchid.
She got out of the carriage, turned around and looked back, her eyes fluttered, and Zhou Zizhi, who was staring at her bright eyes, was once again clicked, and shouted in her heart: There is such a woman! There is such a beautiful woman in the world!
The woman did not take a step, but stretched out her wrist and said softly, "Madam, it's all right, do you want to come down?"
"It's hard work Wan'er and Rou'er!" A very soft voice came from the carriage, there was a tenderness that penetrated into the bone marrow, Zhou Zizhi's already stiff body suddenly became soft, up and down her body, her pores were open, and she was indescribably transparent.
A moon-white sleeve stretched out, and in the twilight, among the sleeves, the snow-white slender hand was held by the previous woman in a blue shirt, and then a woman dressed in a moon-white palace dress stepped out of the carriage elegantly.
Zhou Zizhi only felt that the heavens and the earth suddenly lit up, as if it was no longer nightfall, even if this woman in plain palace clothes wore a veil and could not see her face clearly, it was difficult to hide her peerless elegance, very similar to the fairy Chang'e who descended from the Moon Palace.
"Xiaolan doesn't need to be so supportive, I'm not a weak young lady!" The fairy in palace costume gently patted her hand and chuckled at the beautiful woman beside her, her voice was gentle, like a spring breeze gently blowing everyone's hearts.
"This is the rule set by the owner, don't embarrass the little girl!" the beautiful woman who was called Xiaolan smiled lightly, and her demeanor was graceful.
The two female knights standing behind them also pursed their lips and chuckled, like two roses and an orchid blooming, which was indescribably beautiful, making Zhou Zizhi standing in the pavilion a complete goose.
"Okay, okay. The gentle voice reluctantly agreed, and the lotus step was light, and with the support of Xiaolan, he walked up the steps and came to the pavilion.
Seeing Zhou Zizhi standing in a daze, looking at herself dumbfounded, she did not have any abnormalities, but as if she had not seen it, Ying Ying bowed, and said softly: "The concubine is too disturbed, don't be surprised by the young man!"
Zhou Zizhi hurriedly returned the salute, didn't dare to look directly, clenched her fists and bowed her head and said, "Don't dare, Madam is polite!"
This woman wears a thin white veil on her face, embroidered with a few elegant plum blossoms, so that people can't see the true face inside, only the position of the eyes is blank, and nothing is embroidered.
Even through a layer of white veil, the bright autumn waves made Zhou Zizhi intoxicated, and after taking a look, he didn't dare to look at it again, for fear that he would lose his temper and lose face in front of this fairy.
"Madame, sit down and talk. Xiaolan urged softly on the side, and glanced at Zhou Zizhi, there was no warmth in her clear eyes.
For the men who are close to Madame, Xiaolan will have three points of hostility and seven points of caution from the bottom of her heart, she knows that even if Mrs. Feng is wearing a veil, she still does not hide the peerless elegance that has unintentionally overflowed, even if the men can't see her face, they can't refuse.
This Mrs. Feng, one of Xiao Yuesheng's wives, Xiaofeng, is going to Lin'an City from Guanlan Villa.
Xiaofeng nodded and smiled, although through the veil, the people around her could still feel her smile, which was a mysterious feeling that could only be understood and could not be spoken.
She gently stirred the skirt of the White House dress, her movements were elegant and graceful, and she slowly sat on the carpet with silver glittering in the firelight, sitting on her side legs, her upper body straight, elegant and dignified.
Xiaolan and the other two female knights sat beside her, surrounding her, and Zhou Zizhi couldn't help but sit down, but the cloak under her was too shabby compared to the thick and shiny carpet under the women.
Xiaolan's snow-white jade hand held the pot, and poured half a cup of the white jade cups, although these white jade cups are exquisite and exquisite, but if they are all full, I am afraid that this pot of wine will also be sold out.
Although Xiaofeng and Xiaolan looked casual, there seemed to be no distinction between master and servant, but Zhou Zizhi on the side could feel the dignity of their gestures, they had no reserved and arrogant demeanor, but they could not erase this noble atmosphere from the inside out.
