There is a horse going to the Snow Mountain Villa. Its hooves are light and agile. The young knight with elegant face wore a red fox fur hat, with black and white strands of hair hanging down from his temples, and a black scabbard knife was slung around his waist. The young knight was not eager to enter Chuang Tzu, but got off his horse and walked along the bluestone pavement beside the Spring God Lake.
It was noon, the sun was warm, the winter snow melted, the lake water was as clear as a mirror, and there were endless visitors. The changes in the Quick Snow Mountain Manor are dazzling, and a series of rumors spread: after the Great Zhenwu Emperor Faxiang was near the lake, the young master of Yanbao, Li Huoli, led an urgent military order of six hundred miles, and returned to the border with elite cavalry and retinue; Later, Xie Lingzhen of Chuntie Thatched Cottage also left Chuang Tzu. Yuchi Liangfu said that the old master of the Thatched Cottage had learned from watching the lake and wanted to go back to Sichuan to shut down, so he was expected to enter the celestial realm in his life; Li Yibai of Dongyue Sword Pool also said that he would go to meet his mentor Song Nianqing.
Fast Snow Mountain Villa originally wanted to improve its reputation and position by electing Wulin Alliance Leader. The three leaders left one after another, which would become a laughing stock of the whole Jianghu. However, the purple clad women of Huishan came out of the sky, defeated 16 famous experts in a day. At that time, they were in the limelight, and were about to seize the momentum to win the championship, Many Jianghu people who have left Chuang Tzu on the way back have turned around to join the Snow Mountain Villa, which undoubtedly solves the urgent need of the villa.
If you don't take a closer look, in this snobbish age when people rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold, swordsmen who lead horses are not prominent in the crowd. Most of the Jianghu people who can go to the Snow Mountain Villa are heroes. Most of them can't escape from their hometown even if they can't be rich because of their sect background or their own name.
The lakeside is full of golden fur fur, and it is too shy to go out to greet people without a ermine hat that is often worth tens of taels of silver. Many beautiful women are surrounded by heroes. Their eyes are wandering and they compete with each other secretly. There are also some Wulin people who travel with their wives, children and family members. These people are undoubtedly more confident. Most of them are the direct children of the first-class and second-class big sects in the Jianghu. Those naughty children who are not afraid of the stage at all, regardless of their parents' advice, play and play as if they were wearing flowers to attract butterflies. Maybe these children don't know that there are two statements in the imperial court: official children and general seed grandchildren, and they are equivalent to the children of the aristocratic family in the Jianghu. They will inherit their parents' mantle and travel in the Jianghu in the future, which will obviously be better than others.
The bustling bluestone road is full of polite greetings such as "I've heard so much about you", and the arm to arm talk after meeting acquaintances. Several parents happened to be young children who were friends of the family. They soon got to know each other. They ran amok with each other and talked happily. Occasionally, they bumped into Jianghu people, who were usually violent men. Today, they also raised a rough smile and gently reached out to rub the children's heads. The children ran past smartly, bent down and bowed their heads. The helpless parents behind them did not forget to hug their fists and smile at the man. The two sides were a little lighter, which meant that they just laughed. If they were more exquisite, they would stop and report their names to each other. They could not spend a copper coin, and they would have formed a dispensable love of incense. Why not be happy.
Several children in company swam like happy fish in the cracks of the crowd and became more and more fierce. They had some basic lightness skills. When they were interested, they used the family learning body method virtually. Unfortunately, someone led the horse to stop and stand by the lake, looking at the vast Chunshen Lake. When the first child was about to bump into the horse's belly, he grabbed the horse's back with both hands, flipped over nimbly, and continued to run forward. It was like flowing clouds. It was amazing. A girl with a pendant at the back also drew a gourd and climbed over the horse's back. The last child didn't have this ability, but he didn't want to make a detour. He couldn't jump, hit the horse's belly, and fell to the ground. He didn't know whether it was pain or he felt lost face in front of his childhood friends. He sat on the ground and cried loudly. The young man with the red fox fur hat on his head turned around, loosened the reins, and smiled, reaching out to help the child get up. The child looked up at the stranger, perhaps feeling that his smiling face was mocking him and crying more bitterly.
Young dude is probably a bad horse with a bad fur hat. He didn't have a bit of wealth, so he smiled genially and was a little apologetic. He was at a loss when facing the children who were almost rolling around.
Two older children who had jumped over the horse also turned back, eyeing the young man. The boy who was the first to climb the horse and jump looked angry, and at a young age, he had a heroic spirit that could not be underestimated. Tiaotiao girl is a beautiful girl with a much softer temper. Seeing that the culprit is not like a villain, she just glared at him. She was charming and natural, so she went to help her dusty companion. The child who was helped up didn't look like he was crying loudly. In fact, he had been watching and listening all the time. When his brothers and sisters came to support him, his parents also walked quickly behind him. He was bold at once and ran to the guy who led the horse and blocked the way and kicked him on the shin.
Young dude laughed it off and patted the dust with his head down. Not knowing that the child was still not relieved, he slapped the man on the head in front of him and knocked off the fox fur hat that was not worth a few dollars at first sight. Then he grinned proudly. The young man in his twenties with a sword showed a hair similar to the hair hanging on his temples after his hat fell. It was an old gray color and a dead twilight look.
The young man shook his head. Instead of haggling with the naughty boy, he stepped forward and bent down to pick up the fox fur hat that depended on each other. Unexpectedly, a soft whip was like a snake spitting out a letter. Hooking the fox fur was really a cheap hat with unattractive texture. The whip is lifted and the leather hat is thrown high. Then this soft whip, which is praised as a tiger tail seedling in the Jianghu, is shaped like a snake disk. The head of the whip and the body of the whip hit each other with a sound like firecrackers. After the shock, it suddenly straightens and bounces on the leather hat, forcing the hat to fall diagonally to the owner, just covering the young man's head. In this scene, I really won the old saying that Ma Shan was ridden and others were bullied.
The young man must have been shocked by the child's elder's hand. In the crowd of cheers for fear that the world would not be chaotic, he stood up quietly, righted his fox fur cap, and did not even glance at the strong man who shook his hands with excellent whip technique.
Zhou Qinhu didn't want to have too much interaction with Xu Qi, who was covered with clouds and fog all over his body. He glanced at the two strands of gray hair under his red fox fur hat and thought that he would excuse himself from leaving. In her heart, some women are naturally sympathetic. People who practice martial arts know that thinking too much consumes energy and blood, and it is not easy to nourish the bone marrow. Zhou Qinhu, however, was also self-knowledge. The martial arts she had learned would never enter his eyes. While hesitating, I saw a young ranger with a wine pot hanging on his waist coming with great strides. He slapped Xu Qi on the shoulder, laughed loudly, shouted Xu Qi's name, and then turned to compliment her: "Miss Zhou's Huangmei Sword is like thunder to the ears of Huang Quan, an anonymous disciple at the Lower Chengxin Tower."
When Xu Fengnian saw Zhou Qinghu looking at him, he explained with a smile: "Brother Huang is a friend I met on the way to Quick Snow Mountain Villa. He is an old man in the Jianghu. His words and deeds teach me a lot. He is kind and worth making friends."
In fact, Huang Quan was just watching the situation. When he saw that Xu was being played by those heroes, he had no intention of saying hello and was afraid of causing trouble. But I didn't expect that Zhou Qinghu, who has become famous with Xu Zhan recently, would take the initiative to walk to the horse beside the lake, and suddenly felt a little enthusiastic. Huang Quan accepted Xu's kindness without any guilt.
When Zhou Qinhu heard Xu Fengnian's words, he said a courtesy greeting to this fashionable Jianghu ranger.
Xu Fengnian mentions the reins and prepares to go along the lake to find Lin Hongape who once played tricks with ivory white wat in the Dragon Palace. In addition to the unnecessary rubbings, Xu Fengnian has another interesting secret he has learned recently to interview Lin Hongape. Xu Zhan and Feng Maolin have come with him. The commoner of the Feng family in Liaodong obviously sold Xu Zhan's face and asked his young son to apologize to Xu Fengnian, and then said that they would board a colorful boat to watch the new round of the lake of purple clothes in Huishan.
Several challenge arenas are built on the lake a few miles away from the lake. You need to take a boat to watch the battle. The number of boats is limited. Whether you can board a boat does not depend on silver. You can only rely on the status of the Jianghu and the reputation of your family. There are famous prostitutes in the brothels of Xiangfan City on each boat to perform. In order to build momentum in the Fast Snow Mountain Manor, the leader of the manor, Yu Chi Liangfu, can be said to have paid enough blood and thought. Most of the Jianghu visitors have no ability to board a boat, so they can only rent a boat to make a difference between big boats. It's just a big difference between taking a boat and a building boat. It's not good to be inferior.
On the way to the ferry, after Xu Zhanyan's brief but clever introduction, Xu Fengnian knew that Feng Maolin was born in a noble family in Liaodong, and that the other two pairs of immortal chivalrous men had a family background between Bo Zhong, one was a big family in the Huaihe River and the other was a scholar in the Southern Tang Dynasty. There is an insurmountable minefield between the gentry and the gentry, but it is not easy for most people in the Jianghu who are reckless, dragon and snake. This is just like being both romantic prostitutes. Of course, official prostitutes are more valuable than private prostitutes and wild prostitutes.
When Huang Quan was traveling with Xu Fengnian, he knew everything about astronomy and geography. At the moment, Huang Quan was very timid and timid, and did not dare to speak loudly. Especially before he had finished speaking, Feng Maolin interrupted him and changed the subject. Huang Quan didn't care. He obediently followed the crowd behind him. He was arrogant and looked sideways at others.
Xu Fengnian was in some trouble when he boarded the ship. He wanted to lead the horse to board the ship, but the steward of the Fast Snow Mountain Manor who took care of all the affairs of the building ship didn't take the Feng Family in Liaodong seriously at all. How could a nobody in the Jianghu get a bad horse to get on the ship and annoy people, not to mention how much money can be sold for a seat now? This third class ship will cost four hundred taels! And there is no market! Xu Fengnian didn't do anything wrong. After everyone got on the boat, he handed the horse reins to a villa worker, put a piece of silver in his hand, and said to him, "I am the left view of the Dragon Palace. Please go to the Dragon Palace and tell a woman named Lin Hongxiang that I am on the C-shaped boat. Let her wait for me at the ferry if she has time."
When the servant heard the word "Dragon Palace", he immediately looked up at the young dude. The Dongyue Sword Pool, Chuntie Thatched Cottage and Yanbao have left one after another. At this time, the Dragon Palace in Zhuangzi has become one of the most important places in the world. The characters in it, even if they are like cats and dogs, are not worth offending.
The haughty look was muted, and the villa servant weighed the amount of silver and deliberately asked: "Young Master Zuo, it's just hard work. I may not be able to leave for a while, but I'm afraid it will delay your important task."
Xu Fengnian's smiling face did not change and handed out the second piece of silver, "please, little brother."
Not knowing that the servant who was gentle in that year was also an active person, he pushed back the second piece of silver and said with a smile: "I received ten liang of silver from Mr. Zuo. It's the same thing not to have trouble with the money. I also wanted to take the opportunity to be immortal. If I wanted it again, I would lose my heart! Our Quick Snow Mountain Villa has strict rules. If the steward knows about it, he can't break his hands and feet. I dare not ask for more. Young Master Zuo, take it easy. I will tell you now. Young master's precious colt, I also let the stable feed me on the way. "
This is the essence of the Gaomen family. A servant is influenced by everything, and his behavior is more or less impenetrable. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, the people who were allowed to sit on the dragon's chair changed one after another. The top ten magnates have always been allowed to rise and fall. I can stand on my own, relying on the accumulation of long houses, doghouses and other aspects behind these doors.
Looking at the young factotum who led the horse away, Xu Fengnian suddenly came up with an idea: such a good camper, who started from poverty, will one day have a little romance with a lady like Yuchi Duquan? Xu Fengnian shook his head and boarded the boat.
The double-layer colored boat takes back the steps, breaks through the green lake, and slowly drives to the challenge arena. Two of the seven or eight colored boats in the distance have three floors. It is estimated that they should be Class B ships. Xu Fengnian stood at the stern of the boat, with his hands in sleeves, silently resisting the chill of the lake breeze. Huang Quan was cheeky and could not please those hard to approach couples, so he went to play with the three children. The child who kicked Xu Fengnian said he wanted to ride a horse. Huang Quan became a horse with hands and feet facing the ground. The child sat on his waist and smiled brightly. Like a dog. Xu Fengnian used to joke about Huang Quan's clumsy show off in his stomach, but this time he couldn't smile alone.
Unable to stand Xu Zhan's utilitarian jokes, Zhou Qinhu came out to take a breath and stood beside the railing near Xu Fengnian. Xu Fengnian smiled and asked, "Miss Zhou has broken the name of 'Huangmei Sword'?"
Zhou Qinhu thought he was laughing at him at first, but when he saw that his smiling face was indifferent, he didn't know how to answer, so he didn't answer. Although she knows the world, she doesn't want to act against her will and speak against her will, which makes people feel cold and distant. In fact, she can escort Huang Shang to Beijing, which shows that she is a kind-hearted woman with a warm heart.
Xu Fengnian hid his hands in his sleeves, gently lying on the railing, squinting and laughing: "When I was young, I wanted to be a famous Great Xia, which is the kind of thing that women fall in love with me everywhere. So I often discussed with my two sisters what nickname to use when wandering the Jianghu. At the beginning, I wrote dozens of words on the paper, but I was not satisfied with them. They were either not dignified or too implicit. I also thought it would be good to find a female Xia Shuiling as a daughter-in-law. Later, I learned that it is not easy to be a female Xia. It is difficult to be tender and tender when practicing martial arts all the year round. Among other things, riding a horse is so prestigious that its buttocks are calloused. I have to worry about those followers who bow down to the pomegranate skirt. In case of meeting a skilled philanderer or a dandy local villain who specializes in female Xia, it will be even more painful. I remember when I first went to the Jianghu, I saw a little famous female Xia who could smell the heavy makeup from miles away. All over her body, from hairpin to rouge to bracelet, from clothes to boots. Later I learned that every store that provided clothes would pay her one hundred or two hundred taels of silver every year. As time goes by, I don't believe in Nvxia anymore. I feel that calling a woman Nvxia is like scolding her. "
Zhou Qinhu smiled.
Xu Fengnian sighed: "The Jianghu is actually very similar to the old Xishu. The world is not in chaos before the chaos of Sichuan, and the world is still uncertain about the stability of Sichuan. The prophecy of spring river water warming and the turmoil in the temple center will inevitably affect the place. Even before the central dust is settled, the Jianghu has been jittery. Those large and small sects in the Wulin will find their husband's family as early as possible. Those who marry late often don't have the support of their families, and most of them have to be angry. From small fish and shrimp to Youyan Mountain Villa of Sword Forging Aristocratic Family, no one is spared. It's said that the young King Jing'an at the head of Xiangfan City intends to accept a concubine, but I don't know how long the Snow Mountain Villa will last. "
Zhou Qinhu suddenly came straight to the point and asked, "Young Master Xu, take the liberty to ask, does it have anything to do with you that Chuntie Thatched Cottage and Yanbao leave the villa together?"
Xu Fengnian asked, "Miss Zhou thinks so highly of me? Why don't you just ask if I hired Zhenwu Emperor?"
When Zhou Qinhu was about to open his mouth, Xu Fengnian said with a smile, "Yes, I am a small minion of the old South Tang Dragon Palace. My name is Zuojing. If any good doer asks about it later, Miss Zhou will answer like this."
Zhou Qinhu nodded.
Xu Fengnian turned around and saw Huang Quan crawling in the distance on the veranda of the colorful boat, looking calm.
Zhou Qinhu didn't see a ripple in his extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes, not to mention the reasonable scorn and ridicule, or even pity and sympathy. Zhou Qinghu said goodbye and walked into the warm cabin. Xu Fengnian was again lying on the railing, bored, so he quietly hummed a nameless tune widely circulated in the north, "Don't you see the fish swaying tens of thousands of miles in the north, don't you see the immortals passing through the gate of heaven at the top of Kunlun, don't you see the men riding out of the cold to return the body, don't you see the women's red makeup leaning on the door to the white head..."
