Shen Langgui

Arriving in Jiangning, Xun He showed the appointment document, but the guard inspected it and said, "Please wait a moment", then ran to another place, and when he came back, he took two people with him, and they asked, "Which one is Master Qiu?"

Xun He probed out the door: "The next one is."

The two people bowed and saluted when they heard the words, one of them said happily: "The Patriarch has been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally Master Qiu is here." The other explained: "We are the subordinates of Mr. Sha Ou, under the order of the Patriarch, This is where I welcome Master Qiu."

Xun He understood, and took out a large piece of silver from his sleeve: "You two have been waiting for a long time, I am tired."

Both of them waved their hands, one of the tall one said: "Master Qiu is polite, please come with me." Then he whispered to the short one, "Go and report to Mr. Gull."

Led by the tall man, Xun He and his party drove towards the city with their carriages at the front and rear.

Shen Yue lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside the car. The water is green and the wind is warm, and the long willows are leaning on each other. It is a beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.I suddenly remembered 11 years ago, when I first arrived in Suzhou with Xun He, the boy looked around curiously, and couldn't help turning around, but saw Xun He's eyes closed, with a forbearance, Shen Yue reached out and held his arm, caring Said: "Head hurts again?"

Hearing this, Xun He opened his eyes, smiled and shook his head: "Thanks to Lord Shen for taking care of me, there is no serious problem. I was just thinking that Sha Ou always cares about ostentation. This time I am going south for a long time. I don't dare to think how much trouble he will take." entertain."

Shen Yue has never personally seen how Sha Ou cares about Xun He, but he has heard the words of the two of them a few days ago, and he can imagine the deep affection here.

The carriage drove for about half a stick of incense, gradually slowed down, and then stopped. Shen Yue jumped out of the carriage first, picked up the curtain and helped Xungu down, and then people and horses got out of the carriage one after another. Cheng Yin and Huayin.

Xun He stood firm and raised his head, only to see that the shape of the plaque was ingenious, it was in the shape of a lotus leaf, and the inscription "Xianmiandu" was inscribed with restrained energy, and there was a sense of ethereal fairy in the calmness.

"What a unique name." After Xun He sighed, he turned to ask the tall man, "Is this the Sha Ou's residence?"

Without waiting for the tall man to answer, a fast horse came galloping across the street, and when it was getting close, Xun He's eyes lit up, and he called out, "Shaou!"

Wearing white clothes and trousers, with clear eyes and wide eyes, he is galloping across the hem of his clothes, with an elegant demeanor, it is Sha Ou.Sha Ou reined in his horse, jumped down, couldn't hide his joy, and said: "Finally I'm looking forward to you."

Peng Yu and Yin Zhang greeted each other, and Shen Yue nodded slightly.Sha Ou didn't feel tired after running around, jumped on the pedal excitedly, turned back to Xun He and said: "Master, come in and have a look at the mansion I gave you."

"Mine?" Xun He's heart skipped a beat.

That time, Sha Ou paid a visit during the time when he went north to hand over the young lady. Xun He appealed to Emperor Cheng to appoint him to go south to Jiangning as an official, and handed over a bank note to ask Sha Ou to find a secluded mansion for him.But looking at the glossy three-open vermilion gate, I can't imagine how extravagant the scenery inside will be. My bank note is probably just a drop in the bucket, and I don't know how much Sha Ou has paid in advance.

The door knocker knocked three times, someone opened the door from the inside, and a group of people entered into the screen wall, on which four screen wall brick carvings were inlaid horizontally. The carvings on it were nothing more than flowers, birds, fish and insects, but the carvings were so detailed that it showed their care.While in a trance, Xun He suddenly felt warm in his hands, and it was Sha Ou who led him to the right of the screen wall inside, and heard the young man chatter: "When I entered the courtyard, I only set up a nanmu hall for you to entertain guests. It’s very novel, so I won’t take a closer look.”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." As Xun He said, he still glanced at the Wukai building. Needless to say, the facade is magnificent, and the word 'Hui Fang' on the plaque eliminated a little extravagance and vulgarity.

In the afternoon, except for one or two cicadas, he was hardly heard. Occasionally, a maidservant and a servant would hold their breath. Sha Ou looked back at the master, as if guessing his confusion at the moment, and explained: "I know you always like Jing, I have explained to these servants, no noise is allowed, and offenders will be deprived of their money."

Xun He didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Haha, I only know that Jiangning people are well-educated, and even the servants are well-trained. It turns out that you hit their vital point and forced them to hold their tongues." As he spoke, he knocked Sha Ou on the forehead.

When he turned his head, he noticed that there was a blazing gaze behind him, Xun He hurriedly suppressed his smile, and turned serious.

The smell of grass is lingering, but it is faint and indistinct. It was originally arrived at a courtyard. On the leaf-shaped plaque, there are three characters 'Yu Dianqiu'. The characters are elegant, like a woman's handwriting.

Seeing Xun He staring at the plaque, Sha Ou said, "Master, do you think this word is well written?"

Undeniable, Xun He nodded in admiration: "It's really good. Seeing the twists and turns in this painting, it must be signed by a woman."

A cunning look flashed in Sha Ou's eyes: "Yes, this beautiful woman never writes a plaque for any high-ranking family, but when I told you your name, Master, this beautiful lady immediately volunteered and insisted on writing a plaque to show her admiration meaning."

Xun He was stunned: "Really?" Immediately, he glanced behind him again, shrunk and said, "I... I have never provoked women, and I have no achievements, so how could a Jiangning woman know my name?"

"Not to mention that the master's family has a great career, but it's just that he has a handsome appearance, a humble conversation, and walks among thousands of flowers. Even if he doesn't take a look, there are also women who secretly admire him. The plaque is just to express his heart..." Before Sha Ou finished speaking , just heard the laughter 'giggle' from the side, and the group of people looked over, but it was the tall man. He covered his belly and laughed for a while, then he came over and gasped: "Master, don't make fun of Mr. Qiu, this plaque It was you who wrote it...hahahaha, ouch!"

Sha Ou got annoyed, picked up a piece of gravel and threw it over, angrily said: "I want you to talk more!"

Xun He knew it clearly: "I've only seen you write small characters, but this was changed to big characters, and I didn't recognize it for a while."

Sha Ou was dissatisfied, hummed, and was about to speak, but heard a woman behind her exclaim: "This garden is full of vanilla?"

Xun He looked back, and saw Peng Yu leaning over to sniff carefully, Sha Ou explained: "Yes, nine grains and nine grains, the master should have taken the meaning of 'I not only nourish the nine grains of orchids, but also the hundred acres of trees'" , Qu Ping appealed the ideal of Taoyuan to "Li Sao", and planted vanilla all over to express his aspirations, presumably the master also yearned for it, and now I have found an opportunity, and I will fulfill the wish for the master."

Xun He was about to express his gratitude, but Sha Ou had expected it earlier, and hurriedly said: "In autumn, the fragrance of the grass is the strongest, and the color of the grass is comparable to emerald jade, so I named this courtyard 'Jade Dianqiu'." In front of the house in the courtyard, Sha Ou asked again, "Master, go in and have a look?"

Xun He waved his hand: "No, the future is long, you can just take me for a tour, it doesn't need to waste time."

Sha Gull nodded: "Okay."
