"Grandpa, where are we going?"

In the dim night, the three master and servant rode forward aimlessly on the deserted mountain path.

The one in the middle tore off the black cloth covering his face, revealing his fair and delicate face, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

"I just ran out, Huang Ama will definitely think that I am in a hurry to sneak out of the city as far as possible, as the saying goes, 'the most dangerous place is the safest place', let's not rush out of the city, wait for the emperor After Ama and his party leave Hangzhou City, we just follow behind them."

Yinzuo just felt that the atmosphere between the brothers was a bit too depressing, and he really didn't want to meet those strange women. After all, he still remembered Huang Erniang and the others in his heart, so he didn't plan to go far.

"Master, do you want to send a letter to Sibeile?" Shunfeng felt that if Sibeile found out that his master had disappeared, he might be worried, and maybe he would come directly from the capital to arrest him.

"Huang Ama has assigned a lot of government affairs to him. He must be too busy to spare himself, so there is no need to bother me. I just want to relax during this period of time, and it's not true that I don't plan to go back. You two are not allowed to secretly disclose our whereabouts to anyone."

Yinzuo warned the two of them. Although he didn't say anything harsh, he was very serious. He followed him when he was a child, so he knew the weight of this sentence.

"Master's happiness is the most important thing. The slaves will obey the master's orders, and I will definitely not reveal anyone!" Shun Shui headed to show his loyalty.

Shunfeng is more prudent, he thought for a while before making a guarantee: "As long as the master does not encounter any accidents or dangers, the servant will not tell anyone."

"Then don't worry, Huang Ama is now in Hangzhou City, there is no safer place than here, and the more crowded the place, the less likely it is to be caught, so let's go to the crowd, Hangzhou The most famous ones are the Ten Views of West Lake, let's go and see them."

Shun Feng Shun Shui and the two brothers looked at each other and replied at the same time: "I listen to you."

"In this way, the two of you will be called my school boy to the outside world, and I, an ordinary scholar, will be called my young master outside. Don't let people find out our identities."

"Yes, sir."

It was still early when the three masters and servants arrived at the West Lake, and the early morning fog had not cleared. The emerald green willows on both banks were waving their soft branches under the breeze, and peach blossoms were in full bloom not far away.

Yinzuo couldn't help sighing: "It really is 'flowers all over Sudi, willows are full of smoke', such a beautiful scenery can only be enjoyed in such early mornings."

"It's really like a fairyland." Shunfengshui has never seen such a scene.

"But master, if we just show up in such a blatant way, what if the master finds out?" Shunfeng was still a little worried.

"Young master, I have inquired about it a long time ago. Dad has to go to Lingyin Temple in the northwest of West Lake today. Let's go to Jingci Temple in the southeast. We will never run into each other."

Go straight along this Su Causeway, and cross six bridges before reaching the south bank from the north bank. At this time, the sun just rises, and the sun shines on the lake, and the sparkling light is very beautiful. Yin Zuo He took out something from his waist and held a hanging fan to block the slightly dazzling sunlight.

At this moment, there were several young people in long gowns standing sporadically on the shore. Yinzuo noticed that they were all holding books in their hands, reciting intently facing the lake.

"The scholars in the south of the Yangtze River are hard-working. It's so early that they went to the West Lake to start studying. It's no wonder that there are talented people in the south of the Yangtze River." Yin Zuo couldn't help but sigh.

"Fart! What are you studying? Most of them come here to put on a show, thinking that they will meet some rich ladies and dignitaries who come here to play, and they will fly to the sky."

Yin Zuo turned around quickly, and found that it was a teenager who looked like a teenager, lying on the big tree behind where he was standing just now, and the dense branches and leaves just covered his figure tightly, if it wasn't for him He just made a sound, but Yin Zuo really couldn't find out.

Shun Feng Shun Shui subconsciously took a step forward, blocked his master behind him, and looked at the man on the tree vigilantly.

Seeing that he was about the same age as 14, Yin Zuo was not too afraid.

"Little brother, how did you climb up to such a high tree and lie down? Be careful not to fall, your family will be worried."

"Don't worry about that, I've been doing this since I was a child, and I've never fallen off, hey!"

Before he finished speaking, the young man fell down without noticing. Fortunately, there was a smooth wind to help him, but he was not injured.

Yin Zuo smiled and walked to him and squatted down, and stretched out his hand to him.

He learned his lesson on the spot when he uttered big words, the young man felt a little embarrassed, blushed and whispered thanks, and then stood up with Yinzuo's hand in his hands.

"People make mistakes, horses make mistakes, don't be so careless next time."

After finishing speaking, Yin Zuo turned around, and they continued to walk forward with the wind and the water.

After the young man came to his senses, he chased after him.

"Big brother! My name is Li Wei, and I'm from Jiangnan Tongshan. I came here to do business with my father. You shouldn't be from Jiangnan, are you?"

Yinzuo didn't stop, and replied casually: "I'm from the north to visit relatives."

"I'll just say it! No wonder you were deceived by them just now, don't you want to know why I said that about them?"

Yinzuo covered the lower half of his face with the fan in his hand, and glanced at him with those clear and smiling eyes.

"Do not want to."

The boy named Li Wei widened his eyes and was stunned. Why didn't this person play cards according to common sense?He didn't give up and continued to follow.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to know, big brother, are you planning to go to Leifeng Pagoda or Nanping Mountain? I know them well. To express my gratitude to you, how about showing you the way for free?"

Yinzuo smiled and asked back: "Didn't you just say that you are not a local?"

"My father is busy with business and can't take care of me. I often come here to stay, and I am really familiar with this area. I didn't lie to you!"

"But I don't plan to go to Leifeng Pagoda, let alone Nanping Mountain, so I don't need to bother you."

"Hey! Don't! Could it be that you are going to the Jingci Temple? Are you so young that you are in a hurry to seek a child?" The young man's eyes were a little strange.

Yin Zuo finally stopped, he turned around and looked at the young man.

"Who told you I was young? I'm in my thirties now."

"What? Are you three or over 30?" The young man opened his mouth wide.

Even the wind and the water lowered their heads and snickered.

"You lied to me! Both of your bookboys laughed! My mother is right, as expected, the more attractive you are, the more likely you are to deceive!" Li Wei pointed at Yinzuo's nose and yelled angrily. Call.

"Don't be rude!" Shunfeng gave him a hard look.

Glancing at the sturdy bodies of the two bookboys, Li Wei resignedly put down his fingers.

"I don't need to lead the way, you go back quickly, don't let your father worry."

After finishing speaking, Yin Zuo continued to walk forward. The young man didn't give up, he just followed him all the way, and explained the allusions to him along the way, and what he said was good, so Yin Zuo didn't chase him away.

Backed by Nanping Mountain and facing Leifeng Pagoda, the scenery of Jingci Temple is naturally very good, and the incense is also very prosperous.

"It's not too lively. I heard people say that on the sixth day of the first lunar month, people from all over the city of Hangzhou gathered and set off firecrackers all the way, competing to come here to offer incense. It's really like people's heels will be trampled. Yes, they will stay until the evening, and they can enjoy the fireworks at night."

"Really? It's a pity that I probably won't have the chance to see such a grand occasion." Yin Zuo felt a little regretful.

I ate some vegetarian food in the temple at noon, the taste was mediocre, Yin Zuo didn't eat a few mouthfuls, so I found an empty pavilion and filled the whole stone table with the food I brought, even they There is also a small stove for cooking tea.

"I've worked hard for you today, please have a cup of tea." Yinzuo smiled, and then looked at the opposite Leifeng Pagoda.

After Shunfeng poured a cup of tea for Li Weiye, he stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice: "Master, the taste is not as good as at home when you are away from home, so you can eat some."

Shun Shui also took advantage of the situation to persuade: "Yes, young master, we will continue to run around later, so don't starve to death."

Li Wei at the side looked at the tea set with delicate texture and exquisite patterns, and hesitated a little. Taking advantage of everyone not paying attention, he turned the empty teacup upside down, looked at the inscription on the bottom, shook his hand, and almost dropped the teacup. slipped off.

The three masters and servants didn't notice this end until Yin Zuo ate something and stood up to take a walk to digest his food. Suddenly he saw many officers and soldiers rushing into the temple.

"It's not right, you see."

"Emperor!" Shun Shui shouted a word before Shun Feng covered his mouth.

"Could it be that the emperor is here? Hehe, I heard that the emperor happens to be in Hangzhou right now." Li Weigan answered with a smile.

"Why are you here? Didn't you go to Lingyin Temple?" Yinzuo whispered.

"Going through the main entrance is likely to bump into the government. Aren't you familiar with this area? Is there a path to leave?"

Li Wei originally wondered if this person was a member of the royal family, after all, the teacup he used just now came from an official kiln, but now seeing his flustered appearance, he doesn't feel like it, could it be that he is a thief?Throwing something royal?Unexpectedly!

"...Yes, of course!"

"Then please take us away now." Yinzuo glanced at the side with officers and soldiers from time to time, looking a little nervous.

Seeing that the further the distance, the more dangerous it became, Yin Zuo stopped in his tracks.

"Li Wei, didn't you say you were going to take us away from the path? This is the direction to the main entrance, right?"

"I'm not thinking that it's rare for you to come to Jingci Temple to see the [-]-jin bronze bell. After all, the Nanping Evening Bell is a must here."

"You don't need to look at it. I heard that the sound of the bell can travel ten miles along the surface of the lake. I think I can hear it."

Shun Feng Shun Shui stared at him, Shun Shui even showed the sharp weapon in his hand.

The young man didn't dare to be sloppy anymore, so he could only say: "Oh, that's fine, let's go now."

He changed direction and led the three of them to the small path on the right, just to avoid facing the people from the government.

Before Yinzuo left, he left a sentence for him: "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, and I won't trouble you. I, like you, ran out secretly. Anyway, thank you for leading us today." .”

"Can I see you again?" Li Wei shouted towards his back.

Yinzuo didn't turn his head back, and after getting on his horse, he shouted: "If you go to Beijing to be an official in the future."

On the other side, Kangxi is standing on a high place, admiring the sunset of Lei Feng, the isolated pagoda is independent, the setting sun reflects the water, there is a beauty of incompleteness and loneliness.

"Your Majesty, people have already run along the path." Liang Jiugong replied.

"Run away? You're quite clever, keep following, don't let him find out." Kangxi suddenly felt a sense of pleasure of catching a mouse, the result didn't matter, he enjoyed the process very much.

"Whoo!"

Boom!

The thick and simple bell rang, and Yin Zuo, who was riding on the trail, looked back.

"You said, why did my father suddenly come to Jingci Temple?"

"Maybe it was on a whim." Shun Shui replied.

"Maybe, it seems that it is still unreliable to follow them, let's go to a farther place for a walk."

Shunfeng asked: "Where is the young master planning to go?"

"There is a famous painting handed down from generation to generation called "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", which is called the "Orchid Pavilion in the Painting". It took seven years for Huang Gongwang in the Yuan Dynasty to finally complete the painting. Unfortunately, this painting has gone through many twists and turns, and is now missing. , I have never had the chance to see it, so let's go to Fuchun River to see it with our own eyes."

The three of them rode horses to Fuyang first, then changed to take a boat and went south from Fuyang to Tonglu.

"Master, when will we see the Fuchun River?" Looking at the mountains and rivers along the river, it was a bit novel at first, but after a long time, it was just like that.

"This is the Fuchun River." The boatman said with a smile.

"What? This is it?" The Shunfengshunshui brothers couldn't help but walked to the side of the boat and looked down.

"You can see the fish in the river and the stones at the bottom of the river. The water is so clear!"

Yin Zuo propped his chin, lying on his side, looking at the scenery on both sides of the river, the birds on the river, and slowly closed his eyes, listening to the cicadas and apes along with the sound of water.

"Someone once praised that 'from Fuyang to Tonglu for a hundred miles, there are strange mountains and rivers, unique in the world', as expected, the Fuchun River is indeed the same color, and the scenery is excellent. If it were me, I would also like to live here. For a period of time, calm down, cultivate your body and mind.”

"Young master! You can't! The family is waiting for you to go back! If you really stay here, I'm afraid the family will send people to search the mountain in a few days!"

"That's right! Especially the young masters! I will definitely come and arrest you personally."

"They won't. I wish I didn't go back and save myself from competing with them for the huge family property." Yin Zuo said a little angrily, sitting up, staring at the waves on the river under the blowing of the wind.

"Young Master, not everyone thinks so, at least Fourth Young Master and Fourteenth Young Master will never!"

"I don't think Fifth Young Master, Ninth Young Master, and Ten Young Master are like that kind of people. They like you the most, Young Master."

"Who knows." Yinzuo can't see clearly now, everyone is hiding their inner thoughts.

After the boatman listened to the conversation between their master and servant, he persuaded with a smile: "Master, from what you said, you have many brothers in your family. This is a blessing. Brothers help and take care of each other, which can save money." There are a lot of things, since you don't care about family business, you might as well put your mind on your hobbies, and save trouble, right?"

Yin Zuo really listened to it, and after thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "The old man makes sense."

"I can't control others, but I can control my own heart. I treat them sincerely. If they have other thoughts in their hearts, it's their fault. I have a clear conscience."

Looking at the vast world, Yuan Fei and fish jumping, enjoying themselves, Yin Zuo suddenly looked away.

He couldn't help sighing: "Those who fly in the sky, look at the peak and rest their minds; those who manage world affairs, look at the valley and forget to turn back. That's all."

In the following days, Yin Zuo no longer indulged in sorrow blindly, but enjoyed this undisturbed journey to the fullest.

In Hangzhou, by chance, he also learned chicken-blood stone carving from a hidden master, and made a few small gadgets by himself.

I have also tasted all kinds of cakes in the streets and alleys, such as the Dingsheng cake that means high school, the sweet and delicious osmanthus cake, the soft and refreshing mung bean cake, the lotus cake that looks like a lotus flower and has a dense taste, and the crispy skin and mellow inside Longjing tea cake.

Not to mention other famous Hangzhou dishes, such as Longjing Shrimp, Dongpo Meat, Song Sao Fish Soup, Hangzhou Water Shield, West Lake Vinegar Fish, etc. Yin Zuo is not short of money, and he goes to all the signature dishes of those well-known restaurants Tasted it.

He also went north all the way to Suzhou, where he ate the squirrel mandarin fish that he loved very much in the palace. It has to be said that the fish in Taihu Lake is very delicious, and the local chef cooks it himself. It's so amazing, Yin Zuo didn't want to leave, so he found a house to live in, and went boating and fishing on Taihu Lake from time to time, almost every three or five days to eat this squirrel mandarin fish.

Just eat and drink like this, and stay happily until I have had enough of the most plump hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake this year. It is the end of October, the weather is turning cold, and the thick winter clothes are wrapped around the upper body. Yin Zuo still has no intention of going back .

"Master, why don't we go back? We can't spend the New Year outside all the time, it's too outrageous..." Now even the most playful and daring Shun Shui began to feel guilty.

"In two days, I still want to go again"

"What else?" A tall and familiar figure suddenly broke into the room.

"Brother?!" Yinzuo backed away in fright, and fell back from the chair.

"Master!"

"Yin Zuo!"

Everyone anxiously stepped forward to catch him.

As a result, Yin Zuo fell to the ground with a bang before it was too late.

"Are you all right? Did you fall?" Yinzhen, who had a cold face, frowned, stepped forward carefully to support him, and looked at his whole body.

Yin Zuo just wanted to say that he was wearing thick clothes and he was fine, but when he thought of his elder brother's furious appearance just now, he suddenly had an idea,

"Ouch! It hurts!"

"where?"

"Ass!" Xu Zuo replied subconsciously, and then realized that falling ass didn't sound too serious, so he quickly continued to increase the size.

"The back of the head! Back! In short, it hurts in several places, whoops!"

Yinzhen suppressed his anger and looked at the others coldly, and said without a trace of warmth in his tone: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and invite a doctor over here!"

"Slave, let's go!" Shun Shui was familiar with this area, and he was clever, so he ran out directly.

Not long after the doctor was invited, the biggest official in Suzhou also arrived in person, and it was still raining today. This Kangxi confidant, whose actual status was comparable to that of a first-rank official in the court, was a little embarrassed, but he did not dare to delay at all.

Yinzuo was lying in the room, but Yinzhen didn't let Master Li meet him face to face.

"Slave Suzhou Weaving Li Xu pays respects to Sibeile." Li Xu's attitude was very respectful.

Although Yinzuo is not outside, he pays attention to the movement outside. He has been in Suzhou for several months, and he has never seen this Suzhou Weaver, but how does he know his identity and that he lives here?

"Get up, Mr. Li, thank you for taking care of me these days." Yinzuo sat on the throne, and casually rotated the emerald wrench worn on the thumb of his left hand with his right hand.

Li Xu only dared to sit on half of his buttocks, he knew very well that this four-beile was not easy to mess with.

"Si Bei Le, you are being polite. It's all a slave's job. You should, you should! As soon as the slave heard that you were here, he hurried over. I didn't think about it, but I was a step too late. I'm so negligent. Please invite Si Bei Le Forgive me."

"Perhaps Huang Ama has already told you in the secret report, I will pick him up, and there is no need to bother Mr. Li." Yinzhen's attitude was very cold.

After saying a few words, Li Xu resigned knowingly and tactfully. A man with a slightly shrill voice standing next to Sibeile sent him to the door. Li Xu used to be an internal officer, so he naturally knew that this person was an internal servant.

"Eunuch Lao, just send it here."

Su Peisheng smiled reservedly, and said softly: "If Mr. Li has any difficulties in the future, you can come to the house to look for me. My surname is Su. If I can help, my master will definitely help you once, and treat it as the past few months. Come to Mr. Li to pay back for my master to take care of Liu Baylor."

"Slave, thank you Sibeile for your kindness." Li Xu bowed slightly towards the inside.

"Master Li, go slowly."

Yin Zuo inside was thinking about how to dispel his brother's anger, so as to avoid being punished, but before he could think about it, he suddenly heard the door creak and was pushed open, so he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Yin Zuo personally asked the doctor, and already knew that he was safe and sound, seeing that he was still the same as when he was a child, his eyelashes kept trembling when he was pretending to sleep, he just thought it was funny, but he didn't expose him, so he tucked him in the quilt, Hearing the sound of the rain getting louder again, he got up and wanted to close the window.

When he turned around, he saw a lot of paintings on the desk next to the bed, which looked as if he had seen them with his own eyes in the past few months.

Judging from the brush strokes and style, the painter is in a very happy mood, and that kind of leisurely comfort rushes over his face, which makes people immerse themselves in the painting unconsciously, and follow the painter to enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers.

He opened all the paintings and looked at them. The more he looked back, the earlier the painting was made, and the more complicated the mood of the painter.

Yinzhen's anger subsided slowly, and now he fully understood why Yinzuo stayed in Suzhou and Hangzhou for several months, because he felt very at ease staying here.

Yinzuo pretended to be asleep on purpose at first, but then he kept listening to his brother's movement quietly, and finally fell asleep without knowing it.

When he woke up, he saw his brother sitting at his desk writing something.

Sooner or later, Yin Zuo gritted his teeth, got out of bed, and walked over.

"Are you awake?" Yinzhen asked without pausing in his strokes and without raising his head.

"En." Yin Zuo replied with a guilty conscience.

"Today, the chef of your favorite restaurant is blessed with a son. He went home on vacation. The shopkeeper said that he won't be able to cook until two days later."

"... Oh." Yinzuo was a little frustrated, which meant that he couldn't eat anymore.

Yinzhen said calmly: "Leaving for Beijing in three days."

"Really?!" Yinzuo's eyes and brows were full of joy.

"Didn't you want to eat the squirrel mandarin fish he made again?" Yinzhen finished writing and looked up at him.

Yinzuo rushed over and lay on his brother's back, his voice was full of smiles: "I know you are the best to me, brother!"

"Knowing that I treat you the best, and I still feel sad for those who are not worth it. You haven't gone back for several months. Many people are worried about you. Huang Ama even put him in the south of the Yangtze River to listen to the movements of Suzhou weaving Li Xu. to be your guardian."

Although there was a smile in Yinzhen's eyes, the words he said were somewhat reproachful.

Piansheng Yinzuo is the least afraid of him, and still hangs on him.

"It's my fault. I made brother, you and other people who love me worry about me. I'm sorry." Yinzuo obediently admitted his mistake, and buried his face on his brother's back.

Sensing that the person behind him was not in the right mood, Yinzhen sighed in his heart, patted him on the back with his backhand, and did not continue to criticize him.

"Hungry, let's go out to eat first."

Yin Zuo wiped his eyes secretly, and responded obediently: "Yeah."
