The Happy Man in the Red Chamber

"Fangzhu, the owner of Wuqing Valley pays homage!" The boy who was guarding the door came in to report.An Lan glanced at him and looked at Yi Ying: "You come to receive him! You are the ones in charge of the Waifang, and you are the one who handles this mortal affairs!"

"No!" Yiying got up and went out to welcome the current owner of the Ruthless Valley, Jiang Hu's title: Mrs. Jiang's daughter.

The woman is wearing a jacquard high-waist Kezi dress popular in Beijing. The white Kezi is paired with a maroon dress and a black belt.The beautiful oval face looks dignified and beautiful, with black hair tied in a bun, with a simple purple gold hairpin.The body is very simple, just a green child's thumb-sized three blessing beans hanging from the white neck with a thin brown-black thread.

She had seen the style of the Seven Embroidery Workshop in her shed early on, and compared with those crooked ways, it looked more romantic/*/.But in the final analysis, although Qixiufang is a bit ostentatious, it cannot be classified there after all.With the current disputes in the rivers and lakes, the wharf of Qixiufang has obviously become a shortcut that everyone can use in the rivers and lakes.Wherever there is a pier, as long as you look at the flag with red letters on a black background, you will know that you don't need to waste any time going to the Quartet.Therefore, for the Seven Embroidery Workshop, which has always been friends with everyone, it is better for her to come and find out the truth in person.

Yiying asked someone to prepare a chair and invited her to sit down, and introduced An Lan's identity.Mrs. Jiang looked at An Lan in surprise, as far as Jiang Hu knew, she had always regarded Sister Yiying as the manager of Qixiufang.But he didn't expect that this Seven Embroidery Workshop has a distinction between inside and outside, and even has a coquettish young manager.

"If madam doesn't mind, please call me madam! This is my husband!" An Lan introduced Jia She with a smile, just as the tea was already ready.The little maid deftly heated the pot, and after washing the tea and running water three times, she respectfully served bowls of tea soup.

An Lan opened the gaiwan and picked up the similar tea soup that had been filtered.The wine red color has a slight pine aroma, which is her favorite Lapsang Souchong.It just came out recently, and when you smell it, you know it must be a carefully selected boutique.

"This is black tea. I'm not used to those green teas in autumn. It's very cool in autumn, so this tea is just right!" An Lan recommended her own tea, and leaned on the railing next to Jia She and said nothing.It was Yiying who approached Mrs. Jiang with a smile.

It's not that Mrs. Jiang doesn't understand that the Seven Embroidery Workshop itself is very mysterious.Many people guessed that there might be some sort of secret treasure in the Seven Embroidery Workshop.But no matter how I search, I can't find it.Not to mention, those dumb servants and aristocratic families hidden in the entire Seven Embroidery Workshop are not something they can shake.Not to mention the heroes of the world who are gathered together, even if they can gather together, they may not be able to beat a few women.For Qixiufang, they are greedy and can only look at it.

An Lan didn't go into details, but how many times Yiying had contact with her, they were considered familiar but not unfamiliar.After having a cup of tea, Mrs. Jiang said she had something to do and left.After Mrs. Jiang left, some women came one after another.After all, Qixiufang itself is a female sect, although there are male disciples, they are only drawn from affiliated families.After all, no male sect is willing to come here.

The two young men on the ring quickly decided whether to win or lose. An Lan looked at the young man in white who stood on the ring and decided to defend the ring, scratched his cheeks with his fingers and looked around.Right now Qingcheng lost, leaving the swordsmen of Tianshan on top.The man is very young, no more than twenty-eight.Looking at An Lan, she glanced at Jia She, pointed to the boy sitting next to him, "You are about the same age as him, go and have a try."

She was referring to the Jiang family boy who came with her this time, who was also about the same age but with a baby face.He likes to laugh very much, even sitting there will have a smile on his mouth.He nodded in understanding, got up and bowed and flew onto the ring.

Tong Anhe thought they had defeated Qingcheng, but no one will come forward for the time being.The men's arena has been set up for three days, and all the people who came before were mobs.At present, half of the major sects started to leave.At this time, he looked at the young man who came up in surprise. He was petite and looked like a person from Jiangnan.The baby face is full of femininity, this is from Qixiufang who just came here.

Qixiufang does not accept male disciples, but it will select outstanding male members from affiliated families as male disciples.In recent years, boys have received the same education as girls, but they have changed from women's skills to gentlemen's skills.In martial arts routines, there is not much difference.It's just that the swordsmanship is more open and closed, and the style of the gentleman's sword is less feminine and more masculine.

"Under Jiangmao, I'm here to challenge you. Shall we stop?" He smiled and drew out the two swords behind his back, and stepped on the phoenix-winged clogs embroidered with gold silk patterns.Step forward and step on the wooden floor of the high platform, making a crisp sound.Paired with gold and silver jewelry on the body, it is very crisp.

"Tianshan Tong Anhe." When Tong Anhe faced unfamiliar people, his face was expressionless.If things go on like this, many people think that he has an aloof personality with a bit of sternness.Compared with the smiling Jiang Mao, the two are just the opposite.

Jiang Mao held two swords, tilted his head, moved his shoulders, held the sword forward with one hand horizontally, and leaned forward with the tip of the sword in the other hand.The two looked at each other and quickly moved away.

Tong Anhe had already stood in the ring for three times, so it was not like Tong Jiang Mao who extended the time too much and just wanted to wait for lunch time to finish his rest.He chose the stance of a quick fight, holding the sword in both hands and rushing forward with all his strength.

It was Jiang Mao's first confrontation with people outside his family and sect. Although he already had the peak Anjin skill, he was somewhat nervous.After fending off Tong Anhe with his sword energy, he quickly flipped and changed his posture with lightness kung fu, and also used a fast attack posture.

In Qixiufang's sword dance, no matter what kind of sword art it is, most of them rely on rotation to increase their lethality.As a result, a flash of light and shadow surprised Tong Anhe and the people watching the battle below.Over the years, they thought they had seldom competed with people from Qixiufang. In fact, what they were facing were all female disciples.

Jiang Mao is petite, and in the fast flow, he uses his skill higher than Tong Anhe to firmly control the home field.But he is very clear that just letting him come to test does not mean defending the ring.There is also a senior brother above him, if he becomes famous this time, he will be beaten if he can't go back.He thought for a while and put away his two swords and changed his tactics to fight Tong Anhe in close quarters.

The Floating Flowers Palm is one of the few palms that only male disciples can use in the Seven Embroidery Workshop.On the way here, An Lan gave Jia She the relevant cheats. No matter what, now Jia She is playing the role of the host of Qixiufang, so he can't reveal his secrets, right?Besides, she didn't care about the things outside the door.

Jiang Mao's palms are flying, his body is light and nimble like a flower wandering in the wind, you can't always catch it.Tong Anhe's internal strength is at its peak in the end, and he can only stop at the end to admit defeat.

Looking at Tong Anhe who chose to admit defeat, Jiang Mao curled his lips and smiled: "Brother Tong is humble. I only rely on my deep internal strength. I am the worst swordsman among the brothers, and I use my palm to force my internal breath." Brother Tong, who is unstable, after all, I was just playing tricks on you. If Brother Tong doesn't mind, it would be better for my senior brother to walk with Brother Tong after lunch. He is a person who knows how to use a sword."

Jiang Mao didn't want to stand in the ring, so he sold out his senior brother easily.Tong Anhe looked at him, thought for a while and nodded: "Then see you here after lunch!"

The Autumn Flower Fair was originally a place for talented scholars and beautiful ladies, but it was a martial art added by the Jianghu people.Therefore, the purpose of being able to enter the ring is not only to test the young talents of various schools, but also to make some name for themselves.Tong Anhe's master hopes that he can meet a lady from a family here so that he can get married.After all, he is already over twenty-eight, the age when he needs to find a wife.

Jiang Mao nodded and flew back to the shed. An Lan was leaning on Jia She's knee and eating the grapes Jia She had peeled.Seeing him come back, he nodded: "In comparison, the internal strength is not weak, but I believe you also understand the story of the ants killing the elephant. In terms of skills, I think your palm practice is good. But in the end, we Swordsmanship is better for Kungfu outside the door. In the future, let your master watch you practice swords for three hours a day."

"No!" Hearing what the workshop owner said, Jiang Mao shrank his neck and looked at his senior brother, rubbing his nose with his finger: "I just told that person, I asked Senior Brother Mei to go up and compete with him after lunch Of the four of us, Senior Brother Mei has the best swordsmanship."

An Lan glanced at the other teenagers, and one of them nodded to her.He has peaceful eyes and a gentle and polite face.Slender, with a straight back.Quite a sitting posture.An Lan looked at him, looked at Jia She, squinted her eyes and smiled: "Let's arrange it like this! After all, you have less experience in fighting the enemy, and you more or less have the innate internal strength. After this flower party, we will be together in the world alright."

"No!" The eight people hurriedly stood up and saluted. Such a decision made them happy.After all, they have practiced martial arts for many years, so they are different from those who concentrate on practicing martial arts.In addition to various skills, they even have to learn some miscellaneous items.Boys are even more required to take part in the scientific examination, and at least one person must be named before they are born in order to be regarded as a teacher.It means that you can practice.

Although the speed of time in the sect allows them to have more time to study.But in the final analysis, they are all ages who love to play and make trouble.It is a rare thing to be able to let the wind go out this time and see the mountains, rivers and lakes.The eight people are very happy, and they are all the best in the family.Although he is happy, he can cover up without appearing too happy.

For lunch, An Lan didn't leave the shed, but asked someone to set up a table inside and served the meal that was prepared early on the boat.There are two tables for four men and four women.The rest are puppets, and they don't need to eat.Therefore, the main table is An Lan and Jia She.

After lunch, An Lan drank juice and asked the young man to go out for a walk.Cihang Jingzhai, who had been waiting for an opportunity, asked the little girl to come in.They had arrived nearby, but this time it was the Zuo Shijian Hui'an who was leading the team.

"The poor nun Hui'an has met the benefactor." Hui'an brought two young women with half-moon buns, and they looked like girls with half-combed hair and plain white hair.There are no extra ornaments, and the noodles in clear soup are the parents with good qualifications.She herself has been shaved, and she will wear a plain scarf and a hat to cover her face for a while.Dressed in a monk's robe, he looked quite elegant.But in An Lan's eyes, it seemed that she could see the inner city of this middle-aged woman.

She put down the glass of fruit juice and signaled the servant girl to get a chair: "I just finished my meal and I just went out for a walk." As she spoke, An Lan poked Jia She on one side: "Sir, let's go out and have a look. Yes, how about going to see the chrysanthemums."

When Jia She heard this, he immediately felt the chrysanthemum tighten.In a blink of an eye, he looked at Hui'an, who was frowning, and nodded: "Okay!" After speaking, he nodded and smiled at Hui'an, and chased An Lan, who had already used his qinggong, to fly out.Hui'an looked at the couple's kung fu in the same way, and felt a little relieved.

She still vividly remembers the slap given to that person many years ago.That person's disbelief and the back of the person who left in embarrassment at the end can always be seen when he dreams back at midnight.However, she clearly knew that even if she saw the other party again, it would not be the young man in front of her.

"Master!" Among the girls standing beside her, one of them looked at Hui'an with a cinnabar mole on the center of her brow, feeling that the Qixiu Fang was too disrespectful at this time.

Hui'an smiled reassuringly, Yiying had already sat down and took a sip from her teacup: "Master, don't be angry, our workshop owner will not interfere with Jianghu affairs easily. This avoidance is also for the sake of your family." good."

Hearing this, Huian was a little surprised.She has entered the Seven Embroidery Workshop, although she appeared later than Cihang Jingzhai, she is still a sect that has passed through the prosperous Tang Dynasty.In just over a hundred years, the other party is still as mysterious as before.Thinking of the meaning of the inner and outer parts of the sect records, she nodded: "Let the master think about it. I just saw that Huahui is only us, and Emei is a sect with a majority of female disciples. After lunch, bring your disciples to get acquainted."

Yiying heard this, smiled and waved her hands to show that she didn't care: "After all, our Seven Embroidery Workshop can't be compared with Shitai's Cihang Jingzhai. No matter what, if I can fancy some young talents, I still have to work hard to recruit some. In the end, it is the Shitai sect who has a clear wind and moonlight, so don't worry about this mundane matter."

Hui'an heard this, and looked at Yiying with a little surprise: "I heard that there are many talented women in the noble school, but now I see that they are all girls who are under [-]... It's too early to talk about marriage!"

Yiying waved her hand: "It's not too early, if this is in the House of Poems, Books, Rites and Music, I'm afraid we would have gotten married early." She narrowed her eyes and smiled: "The Seven Embroidery Workshop was established for the sake of these girls' future A good destination. A woman's talent and virtue should be passed on in the end. What should I do if I don't have a child?"

What she said was reasonable, but the two girls standing behind Hui An didn't take it seriously.They appreciate those young talents, but they are more aware of their own position.Cihang Jingzhai is for the well-being of all people.Such a marriage in the secular world, how can one live a life.It's better to help the Buddha for the sake of this world of mortals.

Looking at their expressions, Yiying didn't care, and just laughed with Hui'an.This kind of communication has been familiar to her in the past.

An Lan was flying in the air with Jia She, but Jia She's internal strength had not reached the level of innate life and death after all.On the way, I could only sit down against a pillar of a pavilion and waved my hands to take a rest.An Lan stood on the octagonal pavilion not far away with a smile, and lightly tapped the ball at the top of the pavilion with her bare feet.

"You need to practice your internal strength well." An Lan reluctantly took out a small white jade porcelain bottle from her purse and threw it to him: "Take breath adjustment for a week and you'll be fine."

Jia Amnesty took the porcelain bottle, did not open it but looked up at her: "Can you wait for me while I am adjusting breath?"

"Why not?" An Lan was taken aback by his question, and then smiled until Zhou Tian: "I practice too! Don't worry about my loneliness!"

Who is worried about you!Jia She reluctantly opened the stopper, took one and stuffed it into his mouth.It is true that his internal strength cannot last for a long time. The fundamental reason is that his internal injuries have not fully healed.After taking the elixir, a gust of hot air surged from the dantian.He leaned against the colonnade and closed his eyes, holding his finger with one hand and began to exercise.Seeing him like this, An Lan opened a fan with a swish and slowly started circling in circles.She moved slowly, as if floating on some gazebo and turning with the wind.The ribbons on his body were flying, and he began to dance with the energy slowly surging from his body.This windless and automatic beauty stunned a group of people coming towards them.

I saw the graceful woman with her eyes closed, her slender waist and slightly folded footwork flying steadily and energetically... yes, flying vigorously!That's something that can only be done by the top Anjin. Seeing this, the people who originally wanted to go up to strike up a conversation stopped their thoughts.Those who recognized it were also secretly assessing whether there were people from Qixiufang around here.I saw that this woman had a charming face and an enchanting figure, and she must not be a member of the ordinary class if she wore a rich belt on her body.I just heard that this time their Fangzhu also came.

Jia Amnesty /*/ After the play, An Lan, who was circling around, stopped her hands and stood there prettyly: "Your internal injuries have never healed, why don't you take good care of them?"

Jia Amnesty held the porcelain bottle, lowered her head and smiled, "Then Hui'an was the one who injured me back then. It's just that she hadn't been shaved at that time."

"Old Love/*/People... Heh!" An Lan smiled mockingly: "Your injury is not only internal, but also emotional!" She jumped down from the gazebo and sat under another pillar opposite Jia Amnesty Stepping on the wooden stool with one foot: "Tell me!"

"What did you say?" Jia She looked up at her, then lowered his head and smiled: "Actually, it's nothing. It was the second time I entered the rivers and lakes, and I didn't expect what would happen. The martial arts conference was held in Chenjiabao, Fujian Province, and it happened that I When you catch up, go over to join in the fun. On the way, I met her who was about to end her trial. At that time, she was called a fairy!"

"A man with a talent and a woman's appearance is still a man with a feeling of affection... Is the concubine interested?" An Lan found the gossip interesting, and motioned Jia Amnesty to continue.

Seeing her full of interest, Jia Amnesty shook her head and leaned against the pillar to look at the sky outside: "All of them!" He sighed: "There are contradictions among the same flowers in Cihang Jingzhai, which has existed since Sui and Tang Dynasties." Yes. I just can't believe it until now, I said I want to marry her, but she gave me a slap." He touched his chest, shook his head and smiled wryly.

"You are a widower, with a child at home, how can you marry a girl with such lofty thoughts?" An Lan pouted mockingly: "If you want me to say, she doesn't have a sword It’s not bad to kill you.”

Jia Amnesty chuckled, "That's right!" He had thought about it a lot over the years, and it was true after thinking about it.Looking up at An Lan: "What about you? In the future..."

"The Jia family will be defeated, but this defeat is not necessarily your Jia Amnesty or Jia Jing. Everything should go from your brother. When Yuan Chun dies, I probably have to think about it. It's too early to think about it now. .”

"By then, you'll probably be in your [-]s or [-]s!" Jia She believed that according to the old lady's actions, that kind of situation would happen sooner or later.But now the emperor is looking at it, he must have to wait for ten years.

"Don't worry!" An Lan smiled indifferently: "I want to cultivate the truth. Once the Nascent Soul is removed from the false, it will definitely reshape the body. How about this face, it's just yesterday."
