The old man in sackcloth left the other courtyard with a brass Buddha lamp in his arms. Lu Gui lit up the lamp at night to read a set of old geographies that he had asked for from the government of Xihe Prefecture, and stole the tombs of emperors. Have an unbiased view of the big picture. It was already late at night, and there were still visitors, Xu Fengnian gathered his energy, and there was no movement. When the young master and servant knocked on the door, he could easily identify himself as the elder brother of Zhonggui and Zhongtan. The eldest son of the Zhong family is accompanied by a close-fitting servant girl who can't be called a middle-aged person. She is plump, but unfortunately her appearance is too unattractive. With the wealth of the Zhong family's children, she was found to be a maid. Impermanence, Xu Fengnian paid attention to it, took a few more glances, and remembered many details that ordinary people would not care about, such as the small sachet on the waist for lavender and decontamination, embroidered with a half-faced pipa makeup female pattern, let Xu Fengnian has a deep memory. The maid seemed to be hesitating whether to follow the master into the house, and paused for a while, carrying the two pots of Zhong Tan, who seemed careless, but was actually very careful, and shouted, "Lu Cibu, sorry to bother you, I know you are a glutton, come on, Try the drunk crab that my nephew licked his face and begged from the next door. The wine is the Yellow River honey wine brewed by the local method. The flavor of this yellow crab is different from that in the Central Plains. , now is the perfect time to smoke your mouth with wine, let's come early rather than coincidentally, and have a good time."
While speaking, he pulled the maidservant, regardless of whether the Patriarch of the Lu family, who is also known as the Lucibu, agreed, and entered the quiet room hand in hand with her. A pot of wine and a pot of drunk crabs, planting sandalwood and entering the house, opened the lid of the mud-sealed oil-paper pot as eagerly as offering treasures, even Xu Fengnian could smell the tangy and seductive fragrance, feeling that this eldest son of the Zhong family is really a master who will enjoy it, Lu Gui stood up with a smile, and crossed the threshold to greet him. The Zhonglu family is a family friend. Although he is an elder, the Lu family has always been regarded as a branch of the big tree attached to the Zhong family in the Southern Dynasties, and Lu Gui is the general who has supernatural powers. The respondent, who was teased as an imperial literati, Lu Gui is now diligent and courteous, and his confidence is big or small, which can be seen. But Chong Tan has always been exquisite, and Lu Gui took care of his face. He also put on the airs of the first son of the Gaohua family, entered the study room, took the dishes and sauce and vinegar from the handmaid, and started to work as a servant. Pushing away the books on the table, he jokingly said: "Old glutton, old glutton, nephew is making fun of uncle for getting old."
Zhong Tan slapped his forehead, "The old glutton's statement is really offensive. Uncle Lu was the leading diner in the Southern Dynasty. He once wrote "Su Pian". Even His Majesty the Emperor laughed and said that the Luci Department is the well-deserved glutton of my dynasty. With a name, Qingqian is much more elegant."
Regarding the word "clear and gluttonous" given by the empress, Lu Gui smiled gratifyingly, but he was disrespectful, not self-effacing, and was not in a hurry to put down his chopsticks. He bent down and smelled the aroma of drunk crabs on the plate, and was intoxicated by it, then raised his head to look at the woman's waist During this time, he clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "The newly replaced ant agarwood in Miss Daogu's sachet has become an excellent condiment. The aroma of wine and crab is fragrant with agarwood, and the three fragrances are suitable for each other. It opened someone Lu's eyes. It turns out that Miss Daogu is really pure and clear. Greedy man."
The woman showed no flattery or shyness on her face, she said calmly, "I dare not take it, it's Liu Daogu who made me laugh."
This woman is the weakness of the species, and it is more beneficial to praise her than to praise him, but the world is flattering, either to praise the maidservant surnamed Liu for her beauty, or to say that she is a gaseous lotus. , the realm is far inferior to Lu Gui's prescribing the right medicine. Without Zhong Tan talking, Lu Gui invited the woman to taste the exotic drunk crabs. As Zhong Tan said, the summer crabs salvaged from the Yellow River are not inferior to the lake crabs cooked in the autumn wind of Guizi in the Central Plains. The wine glass is in one hand and the crab legs are in the other. , Lu Gui ate slowly and with relish. When Liu Daogu was pouring wine, some of it was spilled on the table, and he slowly wiped it off with his slender hands. Zhong Tan didn't mind such innocuous details. Helian Weiwu sent a message, this man is willing to hand over this jar of drunken crabs due to his admiration for your famous uncle, the crazy grass that he didn't even know after writing it, so he brought you wine, and wanted to let uncle He wrote a piece of writing with the strength of wine, and said that it doesn't matter if he writes casually, and he still has to guess what he wrote."
Lu Gui pointed at Zhong Tan, and joked, "You, a layman, can't compare to the girl who is so pure and fresh."
Chong Tan laughed and said, "No denial, no denial."
After eating crabs and drinking wine, Lu Gui also wrote a picture, which was scribbled and boundless, and nearly twenty characters were completed in one go, showing his sharpness. Chong Tan is a rascal and can't read a word, but after asking about the content of his writing, it is "one or two merits of benefiting the people, far better than eight or nine moral articles, and almost a saint". This sentence obviously has the suspicion of cannibalistic flattery, but Lu Cibu's calligraphy skills and noble status are all there after all. This calligraphy is sent out, as Sanxiang Xiangyi said earlier, it is Lu Guizhong Tan He Lian Mighty and Wu Sanfang had a good time, and Lu Guiben was a scholar who was doing moral articles. He used to belittle himself to exalt Xihezhou, who was a martial artist, and he did not hesitate to comment on the four characters of almost a saint. It can be said that the reading reads brilliantly. knowledge.
Zhong Tan came here to send crab wine, and left with a scroll, all of which were two-sided pleasing things with other people's favors. He and the woman walked through the door and walked to the yard. Xu Fengnian didn't look at the backs of the couple, but directly Staring at the expression change of Lu Gui in the window, Xu Fengnian knew something was wrong when he saw Lu Cibu looking at the window with nervousness. , Xu Fengnian became suspicious. Although she was not sure how she knew her whereabouts, but contacting Lu Gui, Zhong Tan would call someone to collect the net in all likelihood. Xu Fengnian was not a drunk crab Interest, Spring and Autumn preemptive strikes, the momentary energy is mighty like a Milky Way pouring down, from top to bottom, as expected, Zhong Tan just turned around and watched, while the maidservant with a vulgar name shot like a thunderbolt, the fragrance added by her delicate hands was ground and boiled Getting wine is the same as killing people. When he raised his hand lightly, he even vaguely had the demeanor of a master. Xu Fengnian tirelessly studied the sword manual on the way north, and with the hard work of many life and death fights, the sword technique became mellow and smooth, and the spring and autumn turned an angle. Quickly and quickly, she raised her arm towards Liu Daogu, and her soldiers came to cover the water and soil, and took advantage of the trend to form a hook with her five fingers, not to retreat but to advance, not to strike the sword body or hold the sword edge hard, but to gather her fingertips like a whetstone , making a rubbing sound that made people's eardrums sting, and the Chunqiu sword trembled thirty times in a flash. Xu Fengnian never thought that he had paid enough attention to this strange woman, but underestimated her skill, drew the sword and returned it, sparks splashed everywhere, Xu Fengnian couldn't succeed with one sword strike, so he simply put the sword back into its sheath, ready to fight close to him, but unexpectedly, the woman took a series of pleasing small steps with a posture of being unreasonable and unforgiving. Feeling chilling, since Xu Fengnian practiced swords, the sword manuals and sword manuals he has read can pile up a small mountain, and the rest of the secrets can only be regarded as general, such as women who are foreign kung fu, and also know a few techniques of Xingyi Dragon Claw. It's not easy to pursue, since she was reluctant to part with the Chunqiu sword, Xu Fengnian fulfilled her wish, Chunqiu left her hand to control it with qi, the arrogance soared, and the small courtyard was suddenly full of sword qi, killing every inch of it.
The servant girl was at a disadvantage, and Zhong Tan still smiled with interest: "You are very interesting, just like me, if you don't look at your face, you are all handsome and handsome sons, and if you look at your face, women who like fair faces will be disappointed. .Are you my long-lost brother? This hero, what is your last name, why don’t you tell me? You will die accidentally later, but you won’t understand it, it’s too wronged.”
Before leaving the inn, Xu Fengnian put on a mask and became a hideous bearded man, just like a fearsome warrior in Leiming Temple, quite different from the image of an elegant scholar with a mask. Although women do not have the advantage, they are not powerless. Women fight and scratch people's faces. This girl really made a big deal out of it. Xu Fengnian was too lazy to fight, and he swung his sword like a rainbow, Zhong Tan finally changed his face slightly, stepped out, and the ground was cracked by him, Xu Fengnian returned halfway with the sword, his figure swung back, jumped After crossing the courtyard wall, a few rabbits rose and fell, disappeared into the night, and continued to sneak proficiently. This is also in line with the assassin's style of action.
Zhong Tan shook his head to stop Liu Daogu from chasing him, and blew a sharp whistle. The whole mansion was suddenly brightly lit, servants lit lamps and hung cages, soldiers wore armor and held spears, and dead men chose places to lie dormant. The rule of law of the army.
Zhong Tan stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "This guy is probably the one who killed Zhong Gui. He is really good. You didn't take advantage of the stele writer who was born out of Gongzhufen's unique book art. It's no wonder that Zhong Gui didn't die. "
He glanced into the room, and sneered at the corner of his mouth, Lu Gui must have become a coward, and scholars who come out to be officials are not afraid of death.
Liu Daogu looked solemn, bit his lip, "This person's strength is close to the first rank."
The old god Chong Tan said: "When the sky falls, there will be a tall man carrying it. You treat me like my father and uncle are just for display. Let's not worry about it. If he dares to run around, he will die sooner or later. Don't say it." Nearly the first grade, even the genuine Zhixuan, must be worthy of death."
The woman asked softly, "What about Lu Gui's cursive script?"
Chong Tan shook the ink-stained calligraphy and painting, and said: "Forget it, the chicken is flying like a dog, so I won't cause trouble to the lord of the festival. I will send it tomorrow."
Zhong Tan left the yard with a hippie smile, still in a good mood and yelled: "Six yellow crabs, wash and drain, one catty of good salt, one or two of sharp pepper, put them in the pot and let them cool thoroughly."
Liu Daogu quietly followed behind, smiling without saying a word.
"The Southern Dynasties first promoted celebrities, and then emphasized agriculture and despise business. However, Lu Gui's civil servants are not businessmen after all, but just selling the goods in their stomachs. Hey, can they pretend to be noble? Pooh."
"For a profound scholar like him who has read poetry and books and is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I can play hundreds of them."
There is no taboo in planting sandalwood.
The maid couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "My lord, don't forget that you are a scholar who almost became the number one scholar."
Zhong Tan, who was walking in the front, realized it later, and said with shame: "It makes sense, I forgot."
Xu Fengnian did not entrust him to continue to stay in the Chong mansion. Just before the powerful forces of the Zhong family closed their nets, he chose the lesser of two evils. He climbed over the wall and arrived at the mansion next door. It's like a seasonal residence, compared to the extravagance and luxury of the neighbors who often use red sandalwood and golden silk as fir, and the poor old farmer with a poor family compared to the wealthy rich man, it's really embarrassing. This made Xu Fengnian inevitably feel a little bit. There is no doubt that Beiliang's iron cavalry is the most powerful in the world. It's just that Xu Xiao became the queen of Beiliang, especially when new recruits in the Beiliang army were replaced by veterans. Since you can't be a founding noble and occupy a corner of the country, it's not bad to be a little emperor under the rule of the second emperor Xu Xiao. In troubled times, joining the army, especially the soldiers of the Beiliang Army, are like wolves and tigers, and they are full of mud and sand. Compared with those in Zhongyi Village The mountain bandits with knives and slashing people in rows are not much better. Few of them are aiming at helping the world and helping the people from the very beginning. Who doesn’t want to survive first, and then win fame and honor their ancestors, and after they become rich and stable, So he thought it was done once and for all, and he could lie on the credit book and act as a domineering blessing. As long as the subordinates' veterans did evil, as long as they were not too extreme, Xu Xiao would mostly open his eyes and close his eyes, and beat him occasionally, so he wouldn't embarrass others. The second sister Xu Weixiong tried to persuade her many times, but Xu Xiao laughed it off and always said to wait. As a result, she waited for more than ten years. Facing Xu Xiao, he said indignantly, either drink wine to release his military power, or simply be more ruthless, learn the vicious emperor's art, and pull out the stabbing thorns for his descendants as soon as possible, the sooner he strikes, the better, and if it is too late, it will be deeply rooted Well, the Xu family's family business handed over to the next generation is a rotten stall with leaks everywhere!
But Xu Xiao still smiled and said nothing, no wonder he was both happy and afraid every time the second sister returned to Beiliang. The second daughter's loyal words were harsh, and it really gave the King of Beiliang a headache.
Xu Fengnian sighed in his heart, and walked quietly in the mansion of Chijieshi, where the night restrictions are sparse, and it is not the kind of hidden murderous intentions, it is really relaxed from beginning to end. From another perspective, this is like a home, not a disguised military camp.
Then, Xu Fengnian met two old friends by the lake, one very old and the other very new.
Even the determined Xu Fengnian was a little dumbfounded when he looked at this unexpected pair of characters.
The very old one, meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land.
White hair with a knife.
As for the relatively new ones, they don’t sell melons anymore, so they come to fish in the seasonal mansion
