Chapter 40: The Celestial Villa [1]

The eighth prince is very happy today, and specially asked for leave to visit the owner of Tianlai Villa. It's been a long time since he got married, and he hasn't visited Tian Lai Villa, and he also feels a little uncomfortable, the key is that if the power of Tian Lai Villa can be used for himself, then he has more confidence in ascending the throne.

Last night, he carefully inquired about the situation of Murong Yan Tianlai Villa, and instructed people to prepare gifts, and he specifically instructed everyone to prepare gifts, not to be afraid of spending money.

Murong Yan saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart. But he was unforgiving, and said to the eighth prince: "Isn't it too expensive?"

King Xiao smiled and said, "What are you afraid of breaking the cost of sending things to your master's house." I'm afraid it's not enough, someone will punish me at night. Murong Yan smiled and didn't ask any more.

Tian Lai Villa is in the mountains not far from the capital, where it is quiet and far-reaching, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is a good place for immortals to live in seclusion.

King Xiao rode a horse, Murong Yan sat in a sedan chair, and slowly walked towards the villa, the bluestone paved road was very wide, which could accommodate two carriages side by side. There are very few people who usually go to Tian Lai Villa, and most of them are some people who go to deliver daily necessities. So this road is very quiet, the road is around the river, next to the mountains and forests, the river is under the road. Therefore, along the way, the sound of water is curling, and from time to time there are fish swimming in the stream, and King Xiao always orders the personnel to sprinkle some fish food to attract more fish to swarm in. From time to time, the crisp cries of birds, the running and howling of wild beasts can be heard in the mountains and forests. Wen Yuetian looked at the dense woods with a stern face, he was a little afraid of this dense and impermeable woods, and just wanted to get out of this densely forested place as soon as possible.

Murong Yan lifted the window screen of the sedan chair from time to time with a veil and looked at King Xiao. She was also a little worried about whether riding a horse for such a long time would be a bit of a offense for King Xiao, who had lived in the palace compound since he was a child. But watching King Xiao look at the scenery with interest, and comment from time to time, I was relieved. As I walked, I saw a pavilion in front of me, which said "Dismount Pavilion"

The filial piety king knows that the Tianlai Villa is coming, and all the famous sects on the rivers and lakes know that all the famous sects have a dismount pavilion, in order to show respect to the sect and show that it is a sincere visit, not to cause trouble, as the saying goes, I am here to visit, not to smash the field.

He got off the horse and walked slowly to the pavilion, where there were already people waiting for them, and when he saw King Xiao, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Lord Xiao, the owner of the village let us greet the prince and the princess here." Hot tea is prepared in the pavilion, and after a hard time on the road, first drink a cup of tea to quench your thirst, take a rest, and then we will take you into the villa. ”

As soon as King Xiao beckoned, all his men removed their weapons and placed them on the weapon rack on the edge of the pavilion. Then he said, "There are two people who lead the way." ”

He was next to the sedan chair, waited for Murong Yan to get out of the sedan chair, and then walked to the pavilion with Murong Yan and Wen Yuetian, and the pavilion had already prepared hot tea, King Xiao raised the tea, tasted it, and then drank it all and said: "Good tea."

King Xiao was secretly surprised in his heart, even the hot and cold tea prepared by Tianlai Villa was just right, and he couldn't help but be more curious about this villa.

One of the two people who led the way said with a smile: "This is the special product of this mountain, Junshan silver needle, the color and shape of the tea are like silver needles, the roots are upright in the water, the tea brewed quenches the thirst and quenches the heat, it is a rare high-quality tea." I heard that the senior sister was going to take the eighth prince back and forth, and the owner of the village specially picked and made it from the mountain. ”

Murong Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Master has gone to the top of Jun Mountain again?"

The two said: "Yes, the tea was made yesterday, and today the senior sister and the prince are the first to drink it." ”

Murong Yan couldn't help but choke up a little bit: "Master is really, he is so old, he doesn't pay attention to his body, and he is not afraid of a mistake when he runs to such a high place." ”

King Xiao didn't understand a little when he heard this, so he went over to caressed Murong Yan's shoulder to comfort her, and asked, "Is this tea difficult to pick?"

Murong Yan choked up and said: "Junshan Silver Needle is most famous for the tea leaves of Luoxia Peak among the seventy-two peaks of Junshan Mountain, and there are five thousand-year-old ancient tea trees on the top of Luoxia Peak, which are lit by the sun and moon, nourished by rain and mist, and the tea made from its leaves is the supreme Junshan Silver Needle." Luoxia Peak is as smooth as stalagmites, there is no way up the mountain at all, it all depends on ropes and hands and feet to reach the top of the mountain, if the tea leaves are not processed immediately, then it will lose its moisture and dry up, and there will be no fragrance of this tea. That's why this Junshan silver needle is so rare and precious. I didn't expect the master to go up the mountain to pick tea and make tea for me, I really don't know how to make Lu Dao so good, so that his old man works so hard. ”

King Xiao gently stroked Murong Yan's shoulder and said, "No one will say that you are not filial, you feel sorry for the master, we all understand, no one will say you." ”

The two people also said in unison: "No, when the master heard that you were coming back, he was so happy that he didn't know that Lu Dao was so good, and he excitedly sent the two of us to wait here early."

As soon as King Xiao beckoned, Wen Yuetian stepped forward, gave each of them a red envelope in their hands, and said: "The two of you have worked hard, this is a little meaning of the prince and the princess, accept it and buy a glass of wine to drink." ”

One person hurriedly thanked: "Xie Lu, Senior Sister Xie and brother-in-law." ”

Another person patted him on the head and said, "What nonsense, Xie Lu thanks the prince and the princess for their reward." ”

Murong Yan was amused by the actions of the two of them, and the unhappiness just now disappeared a lot, and her mood improved.

The eighth prince took Murong Yan's hand and said, "Go, lead the way, I'll follow you."

Murong Yan was as happy as a swallow, she did return to the place where she hadn't returned for a long time, she was indeed in a very happy mood, and kept telling King Yan about the scenery of Tianlai Mountain Villa along the way.

Wen Yuetian ordered all the underground people to dismount and walk up the mountain. The carriage carried things underground and led them up the mountain.

Murong Yan took King Xiao to walk slowly along the road by the river, and after passing through a dense bamboo forest, he walked into a narrow road between two mountains, slowly extending forward, and the narrowest place could barely accommodate a carriage to pass.

After Murong Yan walked with King Xiao for a while, she walked to a stone wall, she clicked on the stone wall a few times, and the stone wall banged, and opened a door and came out. The filial king who watched was amazed. If outsiders come to look for Tian Lai Villa, it is estimated that they will not be able to find it.

Located in a valley plain surrounded by mountains, in the middle of which is a river that absorbs the trickling stream flowing down the mountain, the mountain encloses the villa in a circle, very narrow at the entrance, but very open after entering, with a large number of farmland and pastures, tea plantations, and a large number of architectural villages. It's a peach orchard in the world.
