Everyone followed Mu Hong into the village, but they saw that inside the village, the courtyards were divided into front and rear, and the servants were divided into men and women.
Compared with the outside of the village, the scenery was even more different.
I saw pebble paving in the courtyard, bluestone steps, and a corridor connecting the inside and outside.
The courtyard has jagged rocks, green willows and red flowers, and winding verandahs divided into high and low places.
There are countless side rooms on the left and right, either as houses or as warehouses, all neatly arranged.
Mu Hong led everyone through the verandah and through the archway into the backyard.
The layout of the backyard was quieter and more elegant than the front yard.
It was really pavilions, pavilions, pools and pavilions, and it was so beautiful.
It also serves as a flower bed bonsai, decorated with vines, vines, and green bamboos.
Being in the courtyard gives people the aesthetic feeling of "listening quietly to the flowing spring and smelling the fragrance of the flowers and enjoying the gentle breeze."
Lin Chong admired the beautiful scenery in this courtyard while walking, and was filled with admiration in his heart.
Although he also visited some parks and pavilions in the south during his travels in later generations.
The scenery was indeed beautiful, but the commercial atmosphere of later tourist attractions was too strong, and it was inconsistent with the original flavor before him.
Compared with the ancient pavilions, it lacks a lot of its original charm.
The group of people followed Mu Hong to a pavilion on the northernmost side of the courtyard.
This pavilion was where Mu Hong drank every day.
The pavilion is being built in the center of an artificially excavated pond.
It is midsummer now, and the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, with different postures, vying for beauty.
People in the pavilion, looking at the rockeries, rocks, green leaves and red flowers, can really appreciate it.
To the feeling of "Looking around at the mountains and rivers, leaning against the railing and smelling the lotus flowers ten miles away" The pavilion is large enough to accommodate a dozen people without feeling crowded.
At this time, tables and chairs have been set up in the pavilion.
The tables are filled with dishes.
Although there are no fine wines, dragon livers, and phoenix gall bladders, there are birds and animals.
Meat mountains and wine seas.
Be rich.
After a lot of humility from everyone, Lin Chong finally took the main seat, Shi Wengong took the seat next to him, Li Jun and Mu Hong sat on both sides, and the rest of the people took their seats after several pushbacks.
After sitting down, Li Jun said to Mu Hong, "Da Lang, that elder brother Zhang is still working by the river.
If he is there, someone can find him and introduce him to him."
Mu Hong heard Li Jun ask about Zhang Heng's whereabouts.
Since he had been drunk all day long and was unclear about it, he said to Li Jun, "I haven't gone out these days, and I haven't seen Brother Zhang for several days.
He has no other way out, so I think he should be there."
Still living by the river.”
After Mu Hong said this, he turned to his younger brother Mu Chun and said, "Young man is wandering around all day long.
I wonder if you will see Brother Zhang coming recently?"
Mu Chun listened to his brother's inquiry and said to everyone, "It's a coincidence.
I just met Brother Zhang yesterday.
Brother Zhang hasn't gone to the river to beg for work in the past few days.
He only gambles with Sun Er, a thief in the south of the town."
I gamble in the shop, and when I saw him yesterday, he only said to me, "I've been unlucky lately.
I just lost.
I'll try again tomorrow to make a profit."
I think he should be there today.
Why don't I go find him myself now?
If he is here, I will ask him to come over.
If not, I also know several places where he often goes.

At least I can find him, but I am afraid that he is losing money.
If you can't afford it, you won't listen to my advice. " After Mu Chun finished speaking, he looked at Mu Hong and asked his brother's opinion.
Mu Chun was not afraid of the sky or the earth on weekdays, and he didn't listen to anyone's words.
However, he only respected his brother Mu Hong, looked up at him like his horse, and obeyed his orders.
After hearing his brother's words, Mu Hong felt justified and nodded to him and said, "It's best.
Go and find Brother Zhang yourself.
If he really gambles in the gambling house, don't worry about winning or losing.
Just tell him to stop gambling and come quickly."
If he refuses, tell him Brother Li, Coach Lin and all the brothers are all here, just waiting for him to come and get together.
He heard that we are all here, so he will definitely come with you happily.
You should also go back quickly.
Don't delay on the road and keep all brothers waiting.
"Mu Hong asked his younger brother Mu Chun.
When Mu Chun heard his brother's words, he stood up and saluted everyone with clasped fists and said, "Brothers, drink first, and I will come back when I go."
After that, he turned around and left the pavilion to look for Zhang Heng.
When Mu Hong saw his younger brother leaving, he stood up and poured wine for everyone.
He said, "Let's eat first.
When Brother Zhang comes, I will instruct people to rearrange the arrangements."
After that, he picked up the wine and toasted everyone.
When everyone saw the host speaking, they stopped being polite and toasted each other with wine.
Everyone ate some food and chatted slowly.
Lin Chong wanted to know more about Mu Hong, so he said to him, "I don't know why brothers just drink to relieve their sorrows all day long.
But if you have any difficult things, it's better to tell them and let all the brothers come up with ideas together."
After listening to Lin Chong's question, Mu Hong thought about what was troubling him, sighed heavily, and said to Lin Chong, "Brother, I don't know something.
My Mu family is here in Jieyang Town.
We have been rich for several generations.
Our family has countless houses and fields, money and food."
It’s more than enough food for several lifetimes.
In the surrounding counties, no matter the county magistrate or the police officer, they only have good relations with my younger brother and dare not disobey him in the slightest.
They also have two brothers who are very knowledgeable in culture and martial arts, so no one in this town dares to go against my brother's will.
But this is not my ambition.
I think I, Mu Hong, can shoot a strong bow and ride a strong horse.
Although I dare not boast of being invincible, I still have the ambition to use my horse to kill generals.
I can only hate the fact that the court is immoral and has treacherous ministers who wield power.
The officials do not make decisions with the people and only know how to oppress and exploit.
Although I am willing to kill the enemy, I am not willing to sacrifice my life for the court.
Every time I think of this, I feel that I have no way to surrender to my master. , so depressed.
If there is someone who understands my little brother’s feelings and treats him sincerely, he will follow him through water and fire without any complaints.”
After that, Mu Hong picked up his wine glass, drank it down in one breath, and then put the glass down again.
Sighed.
After hearing what Mu Hong said, everyone praised him for being such a good man, and also had a drink with him.
Putting down the cup, Li Jun said to Mu Hong, "You and I have known each other for many years, but only today did we know our ambitions.
I admire you, brother."
Mu Hong waved his hand to Li Jun and said, "Brother, don't say that.
My brother is also a hero.

It's just that you and I were born at the wrong time and didn't meet the Ming Lord."
Lin Chong heard Mu Hong's words and thought in his heart, this Mu Hong is an ambitious man with a bold personality and strong martial arts.
I would like to make friends with him.
I only want to form a good relationship today.
If anything happens in the future, I will write a letter in hand to confirm it.
You can recruit him to join you.
As soon as Lin Chong thought about this, he poured a glass of wine for Mu Hong himself and filled it for himself.
He picked up the wine glass and said to Mu Hong, "Brothers have good ambitions.
Although I serve as a coach in the Forbidden Army, I don't care about the affairs of the court."
There has been dissatisfaction for a long time.
Now the imperial court has been on guard against warriors like us since Taizu, so that warriors cannot take power and their status is low, even inferior to that of eunuchs and eunuchs.
Thinking about how important the Palace Commander's Palace is, and the Taiwei of the Palace Commander's Palace being the head of the military attachés, I didn't want to give it to Gao Qiu.
I thought that Gao Qiu was just a rogue who didn't know anything about family and country matters, just because he knew how to kick the ball.毬, I met the current emperor, and I flattered him to please him, so I was made a Taiwei.
It would be fine if Gao Qiu, after becoming a lieutenant, knew how to study diligently, listen to advice, be loyal and conscientious, and train his troops diligently to repay the emperor's favor.
However, he did not want to only be domineering and retaliatory after taking office, and he did not know how to show consideration for us who have meritorious service. people.
It's really sad to think about the instructor Wang Jin, what a heroic man he is, but he was forced to have his family unable to return, and fled Tokyo without knowing his whereabouts.
I really want to "carry a three-foot Longquan sword in hand, and vow not to stop evildoers until they kill them."
Lin Chong He said indignantly.
Everyone was very angry after hearing Lin Chong's words.
Mu Hong and Shi Wengong, who felt the same way, were so angry that they slapped the table and cursed that the emperor was ignorant and had no virtue, and the treacherous officials were in power.
After Mu Hong scolded him, he stood up, raised his wine to toast Lin Chong, and said, "Well done to you, brother.
He carries a three-foot Longquan sword and will never stop evildoers.
I originally thought that my brother is the instructor of the Imperial Army.
As an official, he will definitely speak to the imperial court."
I never thought that I would be as ambitious as I am.
Ping, a good man who hates evil as much as he hates his enemies.
Hearing such heroic words from my brother today really makes my blood boil and my heart feels happy.
I offer you a toast to my brother, but I will be of use to you in the future.
Just speak your mind.
Even if you go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, you will definitely walk with me. " Before Lin Chong could answer, Shi Wengong next to him slapped the table and said, "Happy, although I, Shi Wengong, am not a big figure, I respect heroes the most in my life.
I never thought that I would meet so many today, and Shi Wengong would have a drink with me."
To express my sincere feelings, if I have the opportunity to have a big fight with my brothers in the future, I will do it for my wish.
Shi Wengong was a rough and tactful person.
He and Lin Chong knew Lin Chong's thoughts best for a long time.
Although he didn't know why Lin Chong didn't directly ask everyone to follow him, he knew that Lin Chong's purpose of coming out this time was to find helper.
In the past few days, he had been following Lin Chong and getting along with everyone.
Although he didn't speak much, he saw that Lin Chong had a heart-to-heart relationship with everyone.
He must have liked these people in his heart and wanted to win over them, so Shi Wengong took the opportunity to say these words to excite everyone.
He also followed suit.
Sure enough, when Li Jun and others heard what Shi Wengong said, they all stood up with wine glasses in hand and said to Lin Chong together, "What Brother Shi said is exactly what we want to say.
Brother will be useful to our brothers in the future.
Just a message and I would follow my brother through fire and water without hesitation.”
Lin Chong was very happy when he saw that everyone expressed their feelings.
He stood up, picked up the wine glass and said to the brothers, "I think of you, Lin Chong.
How can I be so good and capable?

I am so grateful that all the brothers are so supportive of me.
The friendship between us brothers is as strong as a rock, and our righteousness is as good as gold."
Jian, if Lin needs anything in the future, he will send a letter to all the brothers to come and help him.
The same goes for all the brothers.
If there is any use for someone in Lin in the future, Lin will travel thousands of miles to come and help.
He will never dare to take responsibility.
Words of the day” After Lin Chong said this, everyone shouted "I will never live up to what I said today" and then drank all the wine in their glasses.
Everyone laughed heartily after drinking it.
It was so enjoyable.
Everyone was happy in their hearts.
After sitting down, they didn't care that Zhang Heng and Mu Chun had not arrived.
They pushed cups and cups to their heart's content, played guessing games and gave orders in high and low voices.
It was very lively.
In the drinking room, Mu Chun led two big men into the pavilion.
When everyone looked up, they saw only one of them.
He was seven feet tall, with a strong back and a big face, a beard, copper bell-like eyes, a pair of sword eyebrows, bronze skin, and a goose-yellow coarse linen vest. , with a bun on her head.
The other one is dark and thin, with slender arms, a big mouth and medium-to-large eyes, resembling a chimpanzee.
The gray cloth coat is not very gorgeous, but it is well cut and carefully mended.
Li Jun was overjoyed when he saw the three of them.
He stood up and shouted, "Brother Zhang, why are you so late?
Please tell all the brothers to wait.
You should be punished with three large glasses of wine before speaking."
After Li Jun finished speaking, he whispered to Lin Chong, "The thick man is Zhang Heng, the crewman, and the dark and thin one is unknown to him."
Mu Hong also stood up and said to Zhang Heng, "Brother Zhang is late.
Please sit down quickly.
Brother Li was talking about Brother Zhang just now."
After saying that, he said to the other one, "Brothers, come together.
Don't see anyone else.
Let's have a few drinks together."
After that, he clasped his fists and saluted him.
The etiquette was very thoughtful
