In light snow, this year in the south is a rare snowflake as big as a child's hand.
Under the heavy snow, it is difficult to travel on the post road, there is a solar term distance from the Shangyin School Palace, the two carriages go slowly and casually, the heavy snow blocks the road, just to the vicinity of a Zhuangzi near the lake, just turn the road a few miles to spend the night, see such a heavy snow is not stopped for two or three days, I am afraid that if you don't stay overnight, you can set off, because the trail opened up from the official road post road to the private mansion is particularly bumpy, in fact, with the cultivation of the vermilion robe yin and the Wudang Wang Xiaoping, you can also let the snow on the road up to a few feet thick melt away, It's just that it's too shocking, Xu Fengnian doesn't want to act so ostentatious, five or six miles of snow road, it was forced to walk for nearly an hour, Zhuangzi hangs a gold-lettered plaque, Xu Fengnian is a person who knows the goods, at first glance, it is from the hand of Dong Fu, who wrote the fourth line of the world's book to cut the deer sacrifice, Youyan Villa, a big Zhuangzi who has been the master of the father-son martial arts alliance, has a long history of family learning, and is one of the few sects in the rivers and lakes that has won the rivers and lakes with the power of a family.
The Longyan incense burner of Youyan Villa was once as famous as the Tangxi sword furnace that cast the Baxiu sword, but the Tangxi sword furnace has become a ruin, although the Longyan incense burner has not followed in its footsteps, but unfortunately it has been closed for twenty or thirty years, and this Zhuangzi has never been out of the amazing and brilliant generation since Jiazi, just relying on the grace saved by the ancestors to maintain it, but in the territory of a state, it is still a well-deserved person who holds the ears of the rivers and lakes, which should not be underestimated, Xu Fengnian stepped off the carriage, and the villa swept the snow in front of the door, even if it was so majestic and snowy, Zhuangzi still let the servants sweep the snow diligently every once in a while, so that the snow on the ground is thin, and its heritage can be seen.
Two carriages visited the lodge in such a situation, and the gatehouse, which was heated by the fireplace in the side room near the gate, hurriedly trotted out, for fear of neglecting the guests.
Youyan Villa has always had an excellent reputation, and the people in the house are also considerate and meticulous, after the winter, there has never been snow, and the mink hat has been sent out, and an extra bag of broken silver for cold expenses has been added, as the gatekeeper of the main gate, Zhang Mu is also a small leader, and the façade role of Zhuangzi, the texture of the mink hat is exceptionally good, and he can also put on a fox fur, which is the official of the ordinary county and county, and he may not have his style, Zhang Mu ushered in the send-off, and saw more of the three religions and nine streams on the official martial arts, and the two carriages are not surprising, It's just the handwriting of a solid small family, but those men and women can really make Zhang Mu, who has practiced sharp-eyed, startled, led by a young man with a white head and white fur and white boots, a simple knife hanging from his waist, a pair of Danfeng eyes, handsome and lawless, the little master on the Zhuangzi is already a rare beautiful man, and it seems to be inferior to it.
The white-headed young man stood beside the woman in purple, not to mention her appearance, that strange and deep bearing, how did she look like the old owner she saw when she was young, and she was afraid to look at it when she was afraid, and she didn't dare to look at it more.
Behind the young man and woman was a sturdy young man, a dead man who could not distinguish the depths, and an old Confucian who was shaking and rubbing his hands and stamping his feet.
Zhang Mu muttered in his stomach, all of them are fresh faces, should it be about the New Year, come to Zhuangzi to borrow the sword and watch the tricky characters of the sword, Youyan Villa has a lot of hidden swords, all of which are extraordinary, many famous swordsmen in the rivers and lakes like to borrow the sword here to feast their eyes, the contemporary owner is a heroic character who spends a lot of money, making friends all over the world, watching the sword is good, if you meet a person who borrows the sword, most of them will borrow and not return, making the Zhuangzi's hidden sword increasingly rare, the old owner has passed down more than 90 famous swords, and now there is less than half left, This is still Mrs.
Xian Shu did not hesitate to quarrel with the owner several times, and finally sealed a few of the sharpest peerless famous swords into the old land of the sword furnace, otherwise it would inevitably be ruined by those Jianghu people.
Xu Fengnian clenched his fists lightly, and said with a little guilt: "It happened that the heavy snow blocked the way, and I couldn't continue to go south, so I looked up to the name of Youyan Villa for a long time in Xia Xu Qi, so I cheekily came here to stay here for a day or two, and looked at Haihan." ” Zhang Mu listened like a Tai'an City accent, didn't sound like a character who deliberately came to the door to ask for a famous sword, relieved, the owner likes to welcome guests from all over the world, Zhang Mu is familiar with the eyes, and the people are also contaminated with a bit of boldness, as long as it is not those so-called swordsmen who sell their fame and reputation and like to take advantage, Zhang Mu is actually not disgusted, plus a few people in front of him are not good, extremely brilliant, and there is no arrogance and conceit of the son of a family, Zhang Mu is also a little closer, and is hesitating to open their mouths Let them wait for a while, so that his subordinates can tell him, I feel that these guests who came from afar to stay overnight are waiting outside on a snowy day, which is not reasonable and reasonable, in case it is really the children of the powerful, it will bring unnecessary disaster to Youyan Villa, but he can lead the door into the door on his own initiative, and if the situation is out of his mind, he can't afford to be a small gatekeeper.
Just when Zhang Mu was in a dilemma, the son surnamed Xu had already smiled and said: "Mr.
Lao Fu reported to the owner of the village, just wait here for the next time, if there is any inconvenience, it is okay, Xu Qi can see Dong Fu's book, and he will come with pleasure, even if he passes through the door and does not enter, he will also take advantage of it." ” What is the character of this son, Zhang Mu doesn't dare to speculate, but he is particular about details, and Zhang Mu is comfortable, so he respectfully hugs his fists and returns the salute, and pushes the boat down the river and smiles: "Dare to let Xu Gongzi wait for a while, Zhang Mu will go and talk to Zhuangzi in person." ” Xu Fengnian stretched out a palm and motioned for the porter to ignore his group.
Then stand quietly in the wind and snow, look up from afar to appreciate the four words of "Youyan Villa" gold paint on the plaque, smooth and moist, well versed in the realm of peace and tranquility.
About a stick of incense, Zhang Mu trotted out, the pace was fast and light but not impatient, obviously a practitioner who came to the house, not the ordinary rivers and lakes on those who indiscriminately made up a few sets of tricks to go to the self-styled heroes can be compared, followed by a black fox Qiu Zi old man who looks like a big butler, after seeing Xu Fengnian and his party, he hugged his fists and said loudly: "Xu Gongzi, please come in quickly, this time it is really rude to Youyan Villa."
In Xia Zhanghan, this led the way for Gongzi, and a few pots of rice wine had been set up in the house. ” Xu Fengnian smiled and saluted: "Xu Qi is bothering in front, and I thank Youyan Villa for the kindness of staying overnight. ” Zhuangzi housekeeper hurriedly led the way, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xu Gongzi should not be polite, but there is a lack of hospitality, and I hope that Gongzi will open his mouth as much as he wants. ” Xu Fengnian smiled and nodded, and the group followed Zhang Han across the threshold of the side door, the main door was not opened, and it was reasonable, a mansion door was not open to anyone, just like the number of times the Beiliang Mansion opened the door was only a handful, and those who won this honor were all top-notch figures in the Liyang Dynasty or bright or dark.
Xu Fengnian's gang of strangers who have not even heard of Youyan Villa can invite the chief steward to go out to greet them in person, and this courtesy is really not cold.
After Xu Fengnian passed the door, he smiled warmly, there was an unknown secret, the old yellow sword box contained six swords, one of which was from the Longyan incense burner of Youyan Villa, named agarwood.
All the way seems to have no end through the corridor through the building, and finally was led to a lakeside courtyard that can enjoy the snowy lake scenery, the courtyard door stone carved ruler snow two words, it is really the scene, it is the Xuanyuan Qingfeng who is born superior and has always been above the top, and can not find fault, before being admitted to the hospital, I also looked back at the dragon leaping lake where the snow is falling into the water, Youyan Villa is close to the mountain and the water, and the Crouching Tiger Mountain has a vein that extends into the water, such as the sleeping tiger perching, looking away, and there is a corner pavilion to enjoy the lake on the top of the mountain.
In addition to the two young maids who take care of the quiet yard all the year round, Zhang Han also specially brought a few maids who were not originally working in the courtyard of Qixue, and they were all middle-looking, perhaps knowing that they had brought "family members", five or six Zhuang children and maids inside and outside the courtyard, all of whom were demure and dignified, not the kind of fox who could see the charm at a glance, Zhang Han entered the courtyard but did not enter the house, and said to Xu Fengnian with a smile: "Xu Gongzi, the owner of the village unfortunately has something to do, and he can't come to see him immediately, Gongzi forgive me." ” Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "Xu Qi should have gone to visit the owner of the village in person, if the owner of the village came in person, he would really feel guilty."
Mr.
Zhang, he only needs to tell Xu Qi when the owner of the village will be free in his spare time, and he must personally go to thank him, but he didn't expect the heavy snow to close the road, delaying the established itinerary, and he had to stay in a hurry, and the courtesy was very light, which was really embarrassing. ” Zhang Han was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "The person who came is a guest, Xu Gongzi is polite, polite." ” To tell the truth, Zhang Han is really angry with those so-called bullshit high-rollers, who seem to be very arrogant, and they are commensurate with the owner's brothers, and they are not ashamed to say that he will stick a knife in the ribs when he has something to do, in fact, he is so shrewd that even he, the big housekeeper of the villa, is ashamed of himself, and he stays in the Zhuangzi for a few months or more, eating and drinking, eating too badly, and having a little unintentional neglect, maybe he will run to the owner of the village to say a few words of yin and yang, and even more, there was once a famous swordsman who is also famous in the southeast rivers and lakes.
People in their fifties actually made a disgusting act of bullying the maid in the village, as for the swordsman rangers who came to admire, who didn't come to Zhuangzi to hide the sword, the little abacus crackled, and the owner of the village is the kind of good person who can't pull his face, Zhang Han is just a subordinate after all, even if he is ruthless to sing with a white face, he can't sing flowers, and he has wronged the wife who is a good housekeeper over the years.
After all, if Youyan Villa wants to make a comeback, what is needed is those down-to-earth friends in the rivers and lakes, the more the merrier, if the parents of the family have the real power, for Youyan Villa, it is tantamount to a great blessing to send charcoal in the snow.
Zhang Han left gently, the five maids were all beautiful, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the fox fur boy, he was really handsome, and it was not that kind of fat and pink handsome, but full of heroism, the three maids in the outer courtyard originally had some complaints, who was willing to serve outsiders after seeing Xu Fengnian with their own eyes, they were full of joy, and they were directly overflowing on their beautiful faces.
Let the young man look at it and steal the fun, I said that my son-in-law is popular everywhere, he couldn't help but glance at the woman in purple, the latter was keenly aware of the eyes of the young man's dead man, his eyes were staggered, he couldn't tell the truth, and he didn't have much murderous intent, the young man was stunned for a moment, this ghostly mother-in-law turned sexually and there was no sign of fighting, killing, killing, and killing The small courtyard really warmed a few jars of Zhuangzi's self-brewed high-grade sinking tank rice wine, the charcoal in the stove is full, the door is ajar, it still makes people feel warm, through the courtyard gate, you can see the silver-white lake view of the courtyard gate, the yard is not big, it is only two in, the house is enough, and it does not give people the feeling of being lonely and lonely, the two maids who have been working in the small courtyard of Qixue are busy, in fact, the yard is clean, it is nothing more than to make a look, so that the guests can feel the diligence and goodwill of Zhuangzi.
Xu Fengnian smiled and asked them if they drank alcohol and if they could drink, they looked at each other and smiled, and after nodding politely, one of them only said that he could drink about one or two wines, and he didn't dare to drink more, otherwise he would be bumped into by the steward, and he would inevitably be admonished.
Xu Fengnian asked for a few more wine glasses, and the guests and maidservants drank rice wine together, and they were happy.
Sword idiot Wang Xiaoping didn't drink, and went to the house to close the door.
Liu Wenbao drank his red rosacea nose, and he read words, all of which were good poems and essays about drinking, which made several maids who mistakenly thought he was an old man in the accounting room find it interesting.
Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: "Before being admitted to the hospital, I saw a small boat tied to the lake, can I go to the lake at this time?"
A bolder maid turned around, and her voice was soft, "Qi Xu Gongzi, there is a special boat rocker on the Zhuangzi, as long as the slave maid informs you, you can go into the lake to fish, and you can warm wine on the boat."
But the snow is too big at this time, and if Childe is fishing on the lake, it will be too cold, and he has to put on a thick cotton shirt. ” Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "Then please take the lily hat, and you don't need to rock the boat." ” The graceful maid promised, got up and left, and soon swayed her body, the blue bird got up and put on a heavy coat for the son, Xu Fengnian carried a delicate bamboo hat, and a box of refined fishing bait that had been prepared, and walked out of the yard, in addition to Xuanyuan Qingfeng, the group was sent to the lake, Xu Fengnian stepped on the boat alone, smiled and waved to everyone, the five maids only cared about the fairy Fengzi of the son, thinking about what people rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold makeup, this Xu Gongzi is dressed in a robe, that is also handsome no matter how you look at it， None of them paid attention to the white-headed young man named Xu Qi who boarded the boat, and the boat had already slid gently into the lake without shaking the wooden oar.
The snow is big and the lake is lonely.
Fishing alone in the cold river and snow.
After the maids came back to their senses, they refused to leave for a long time, and when they couldn't survive the heavy snow and winter cold, they had to reluctantly return to the small courtyard of Qixue.
Half an hour later, a group of white-clothed people tread water, both men and women, fluttering like white butterflies, and their gas was otherworldly. fluttering like a fairy.
This group of immortals tread water lightly, swept five or six zhang, swept high over the boat, and went straight to Youyan Villa.
