Chapter 283: The Road Up the Mountain
A hundred miles south of the capital of Zhao is a large continuous mine, the dark blue mountain rock contains a large amount of refined iron ore, lush vegetation covers it, if you look at it from a distance, it is dark green and dark blue intertwined.
A little farther away is a large river that winds to the west, and the water is rushing endlessly, which is the Tongtian River.
A few dozen miles south of the river, there are two peaks that echo each other, both of which are high and steep, rocky, and two winding mountain roads wind up the mountain, looming under the dense vegetation.
Between the two peaks, there is a vast blue lake, a radius of about 100 miles, bottomless, from time to time there are big green fish jumping out of the lake, and a large number of white water birds pass over the lake, preying on the flying insects and other things entrenched on the aquatic plants, and a little white sail dotted on the surface of the lake.
What is amazing is that there are large mountain villas, pavilions, water pavilions, and rockery gardens on both peaks.
Behind the villa on the peak of the east mountain is a large area of spiritual fields, shining in the sun, shining with bright colors.
The villa on the peak of the west mountain is surrounded by a large mulberry tree, at this time many girls wearing white veils and wearing plaid clothes are picking mulberry and releasing silkworms in the mulberry tree, so a quiet and harmonious atmosphere.
At this time, on the winding mountain path of the east peak, there are two sedan chairs, and four sedan chairmen are snorting and carrying the sedan chairs, walking along the path to the top of the mountain.
On the chair chair at the head of the group was a slightly chubby young man, dressed in a navy blue robe, squinting his eyes, as if he was asleep, looking comfortable.
In the sedan chair that followed, a young man with a scorched face and two beards sat with two bright eyes. Consciously or unconsciously, he looked at his surroundings and looked at the look on his face. I seem to have been a little surprised by the spectacular scenery here.
The two sons' sedan chairs were followed by two attendants. The squire of the chubby young man was a capable young man, while the scorched young man followed silently by the side of his master with an unusually tall man wearing a hat.
In the clouds in mid-air, there was a yellow figure hovering back and forth, and it turned out to be a beautiful yellow spirit bird.
"Brother Wang, we should go to the mountain in half a day, and arrange a banquet for you for my brother, and you will have to drink a few more glasses later!"
The young man with a scorched yellow face behind him smiled: "Thank you, Brother Xing, I am following the customs of the villagers." I just want to know more about the cultural landscape of the Xing family's manor, and I hope that Brother Xing will introduce one or two more!"
"I didn't say it, who is Brother Wang! You are a master of reaching the finals of Linggu! The head of the Xing family is welcoming a talent like you! Besides, the first batch of Linggu wine has been brewed this year, and a wine tasting conference is about to be held, and you can taste the Xing family's signature Linggu wine at the banquet, as well as several other unique new wines, which are just following the excitement! Hehehe......" The slightly chubby young man swallowed his saliva, and his face was quite yearning. It seems that we are looking forward to the upcoming wine tasting conference.
These two people are naturally Zhang Di in disguise as "Wang Qishan", and the chubby young man who led him up the mountain is Xing Bin, a child of the Xing family who he just met.
Unexpectedly, the Xing family's brewing villa was built on this peak, and Xing Bin simply let him sit on a sedan chair and slowly go up the mountain in order to let Zhang Di enjoy it. It's also good to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.
Zhang Di pretended to enjoy it while quietly looking at the terrain around him, after all, his target was the refined iron stone mine in the belly of this mountain. After taking a clear look, I plan to explore the fine ironstone mine at night.
It's just that he saw that there was a mountain villa on the opposite peak. At the foot of the mountain is a large lake, and I can't help but think about it. Asked tentatively: "Brother Xing, I see that there is a mountain villa on the opposite peak, is that also the Xing family's property?"
Xing Bin in front glanced at his right hand and said lazily: "No, it's Biluo Villa, it's the Cheng family's industry." The lake below is Biluo Lake, the Cheng family makes a living by raising silkworms and spinning silk, and the Biluo silk woven is quite famous. Speaking of which, this villa is actually also owned by the Cheng family, and our Xing family bought it from them later at a large price. ”
"Biluo Lake, Biluo Villa. Zhang Di thought silently in his heart, recalling that he had killed the demon soul Cheng Ziming, his home was Nabiluo Villa, and said that there was a treasure of the demon inheritance at the bottom of Biluo Lake, so he asked him to bring letters to meet his three wives and protect their safety.
Now that I have come here, hearing Xing Bin's explanation, Zhang Di faintly has a bad feeling, it seems that the Cheng family also has an inextricable relationship with the Xing family, and it is necessary to visit over there!
Zhang Di pretended to be interested and asked, "Oh? It seems that the Cheng family's power is not small! Brother Wei is a little interested, is it convenient for Brother Xing to introduce one or two more?"
"Hehe, you're right to ask me. Xing Bin sat up, turned his head and said with shining eyes: "The Cheng family is a big local family, and its history is much longer than our Xing family, but it has no quarrel with the world and has always occupied the two peaks of this Biluo Lake.
Not long ago, I heard that the head of the Cheng family was lost, leaving behind three beautiful women and three beautiful daughters, these women's families have no men to be the backbone, the silk business is getting worse and worse, and it is difficult to make a living, so they sold the villa on this mountain peak to our Xing family.
By the way, I heard that the three beautiful daughters of the Cheng family are unmarried, and the mother of the Cheng family plans to hold a son-in-law selection conference on the ninth day of this month, and the unmarried young people in the vicinity can try their luck!"
Zhang Di touched his nose and said with a smile: "On the ninth day of this month, isn't it a few days?"
"Yes!" Xing Bin said excitedly: "Hey, hey, hey...... Why don't you and I go together Brother Wang and try our luck?"
"Okay, anyway, there's nothing left and right, let's go and take a look with Brother Xing then!" Zhang Di smiled slightly.
"Okay! It's decided! No, I can fall in love with the second miss of the Cheng family, and Brother Wang is not allowed to rob me at that time!" Xing Bin clenched his fists, his face trembled, and he looked like he would not marry this woman.
Zhang Di replied noncommittally, quite disappreciative in his heart, that Cheng Ziming himself also boasted about how the three wives were as beautiful as flowers, and said that the three daughters born must also be like fairies, and said that if he could help him, which of the three daughters would marry which, if the three ladies agreed, it would be okay to marry them all.
Shaking his head, Zhang Di closed his eyes slightly, turning one thought into four, one divine thought to pay attention to the surrounding situation, and three ways to comprehend Taiyi Aoki Gong, after the guidance of Taitai Qingyun, Zhang Di has a lot of insights about cultivation, and is hurrying to practice in seconds!
I didn't say anything all the way, and half a day later, I entered Xingjia Villa.
This villa is really vast, the grade and decoration of the houses have opened Zhang Di's eyes, the servants come and go, and the welcome battle is also grand enough, so that Zhang Di, who has never seen such a market, is secretly surprised.
Since the wine tasting meeting only started in the evening, after the reception banquet, Zhang Di followed Xing Bin to the Lingtian behind the villa for a walk, and visited the Xingjia Brewery, and was quite interested in the process of refining Linggu wine into Linggu wine, and took the opportunity to ask a lot of know-how, and gained a lot.
