In addition to beauty, she also has a mold

Chapter 134

The follow-up was that Xuan Zhenzi punished Gu Youyang to kneel for half a day, and then personally led him home to plead guilty to his parents.

The three watched the master and apprentice go down the mountain, Tang Bai sighed: "Master is soft-hearted, the second senior brother has done so many things for him, he still ignores the past, and forgave the second senior brother in just half a day."

Meng Xiyuan said: "Master's heart is not soft for a day or two, when you and that Cuihua"

"Ehhh!"

Tang Bai quickly covered his mouth: "A hero doesn't mention his bravery back then, Fourth Junior Brother, it's a New Year's Eve, right?"

Seeing the two of them talking back and forth, Xiao Yu smiled, turned around and went to clean the yard.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, the mountain was extremely lively. There were seven people sitting at the table. Besides the five masters and apprentices, there were two other guests who were Gu Youyang's parents. Tang Bai and Gu Youyang were playing tricks on the sidelines, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Amidst the laughter, Meng Xiyuan suddenly said in her ear: "It would be great if the senior brother and fifth junior brother were here."

If he didn't mention it, she would almost forget the name Liu Qingshan, and just laughed it off: "Senior brother, why worry about it, fifth senior brother's parents are healthy, besides, he has brothers and sisters, and his life is much more carefree than you and me."

Thinking of his life experience, Meng Xiyuan also laughed at himself.

But she heard her mention again: "Compared to senior brother, I am more worried that old man Chu will live a deserted life this year. It seems that I heard that people from the Governor's Mansion came earlier?"

He said: "Well, at that time you were helping the two senior brothers in the back kitchen, and Master and I received them."

"Should it be a gift?"

"Well, I gave you a lot of valuable gifts. It is said that the governor wants to thank the master for teaching the elder brother these years."

"No wonder Master secretly wiped away his tears, so he thought of Senior Brother."

"Ah."

Meng Xiyuan also lowered his head, secretly sad.

"Come on, New Year's Eve"

She pushed Meng Xiyuan and signaled him to raise his glass to respect the elders. The banquet was full of laughter and laughter. At some point, she quietly left the banquet and stood on a high place overlooking the night view of Jiangning.

"The plum blossoms are less white than the snow, but the snow is less fragrant than the plum blossoms. This year's beauty plum blooms exceptionally well. I'll buy a few as gifts later."

"Villa Master, Lord Zhao Xiaohou and Master Chu are here."

Yang Qingjian turned his head and saw the two nobles who came walking on the snow, he hurriedly said: "Young Master, Master Chu, welcome from a distance, welcome from a distance?"

From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of a person who was walking in step not far away, and said with a smile: "Young master Xu is here too. On New Year's Eve, it's really a good day to welcome three distinguished guests to my Qingjian Villa."

Zhao Wuling nodded, then looked back at Xu Shurui, and called out: "Shurui, come over to meet Master Yang."

Xu Shurui obediently stepped forward: "I've met Master Yang."

Seeing the scene of brothers and sisters respecting each other, Yang Qingjian smiled meaningfully: "The timing of the three distinguished guests is just right. This year's plum blossoms are particularly beautiful, especially the Fifth Plum Garden. Please come with me."

Zhao Wuling's thin lips parted slightly: "Master Yang."

Seeing this, Yang Qingjian knew that he did not come here to admire the plum blossoms, so he wisely stopped inviting him.

Zhao Wuling said: "I heard that the plum blossoms in Qingjian Mountain Villa are blooming very well. I saw it today. It is really so. Shu Rui, didn't you clamor to come to appreciate the plum blossoms? Just now the owner of the village said that the plum blossoms in the Fifth Plum Garden are very beautiful." The best."

Yang Qingjian immediately called the maid beside her: "Yin'er, lead Mr. Xu to the Fifth Plum Garden."

"Yes, Master."

Yin'er asked, "Master Xu, please come with me."

Xu Shurui followed Yin'er obediently and left, Yang Qingjian said with a smile: "You two, please have tea in the front hall."

Zhao Wuling nodded: "Thank you."

The three of them were making tea around the stove. Zhao Wuling and Chu Zhijiang looked normal, but the more normal they looked, the more complicated things became. Yang Qingjian didn't know the purpose of their visit, so he had to serve them carefully.

Chu Zhijiang looked around and suddenly said, "Master Yang, this place is very quiet."

He replied: "My lord does not know that when the plum blossoms bloom in winter, there is an endless stream of guests here to enjoy the plum blossoms, but today is the New Year's Eve, and the guests are all having New Year's Eve dinner at home with their families, so Qingjian Villa is clean Once they are down, they will come to enjoy the plum blossoms one after another in two days, and it will be lively."

"That's right."

"Eh, that's right."

He poured the new tea and sneaked a look at the reactions of the two, but found nothing.

Zhao Wuling sipped the tea silently, and praised him from time to time, most of the time it was Chu Zhijiang who was talking to Yang Qingjian, he listened quietly, and tapped the rim of the cup slowly and methodically with his fingertips.

Chu Zhijiang suddenly said, "It's snowing again."

Putting down the teacup, Zhao Wuling moved to the corridor and sighed: "The old days are gone, the beginning of the new year, this time last year."

He glanced over with a deep smile: "Master Yang, do you still remember what happened?"

How could Yang Qingjian dare to forget, so he replied: "At this time last year, I was ordered to send a new batch of beautiful plums to the palace to dedicate to Concubine He Gui. The imperial concubine was furious, thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince's intercession, I saved my life."

After returning from the palace, he had nightmares for several days.

"His Highness's life-saving grace, Yang will never forget it in his life." He said.

Zhao Wuling stood in the corridor, his cloak and sleeves were rolled by the wind and snow, he was also tall and tall, elegant and solemn, his brown eyes were like ice that captured the soul.

"Benhou's hidden guards caught the traitors, and they disappeared after chasing you at Qingjian Villa. Master Yang, do you know what's going on?"

Every word is pearls, making people tremble.

Yang Qingjian plopped down on his knees, extremely flustered: "Little Hou Ye Mingjian, I am a businessman who grows flowers, how dare I collude with any traitor, misunderstanding, everything is a misunderstanding."

I knew that I would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but I didn't know it was because of the traitor.

Everyone knows the tricks of Lord Zhao Xiaohou. Yang Qingjian knelt down on the ground trembling, fearing that a single action or a wrong word would anger the nobleman and cause death.

Chu Zhijiang got up, walked up to him, and helped him up: "Master Yang, please stand up, the young master is just asking a routine question, the owner doesn't need to think too much, just answer truthfully."

One sings a bad face and the other sings a bad face, how can Yang Qingjian deal with it.

He was not afraid of the slanting shadow, but fortunately he also went all out, went straight to the corridor, and said to Zhao Wuling: "Young Lord, the matter of the traitor has nothing to do with my Qingjian Villa, please learn from me."

"Ah."

With a playful smile, Zhao Wuling motioned him to look to the left.

That was the direction of the Fifth Plum Garden. Xu Shurui was walking back, holding something in his hand, and he seemed extremely struggling. Yang Qingjian was at a loss: "Mr. Xu, this is it."

Halfway through the conversation, he immediately froze.

Xu Shurui held a rope in his hand, and at the other end was a man who was tied up and couldn't move. Panting, he waved his hand to the distance and shouted: "I got it, I got it!"

"Young Lord, you are wronged!"

Yang Qingjian argued: "I really didn't know that the traitors were so rampant that they hid in Qingjian Villa. Otherwise, how could I have asked my servants to lead Mr. Xu to appreciate the plum blossoms? Isn't this a self-inflicted trap?"

Zhao Wuling smiled faintly: "Master Yang, please, this Marquis has never said that you colluded with the traitors."

Yang Qingjian was still in shock, sweating profusely all over his head: "Thank you, little lord, thank you, little lord"

On this side, Xu Shurui dragged the person to the front of the three of them, pointed to the Fifth Plum Garden to Yang Qingjian, and said, "I'm really sorry, Master Yang, your maid Yin'er was killed by thieves, and I couldn't save her. Forgive me."

"what?!"

Yang Qingjian hurriedly went to the Fifth Plum Garden, leaving the guests behind.

After leaving Qingjian Mountain Villa, Chu Zhijiang took the rebels to return to his command, Xu Shurui picked a few plums as he wished, and went back to the Hou Mansion for the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhao Wuling returned to Danshui Pavilion, the sky was getting dark, and the mansion was cold. It was deserted, and there was no atmosphere of festive decorations during the Chinese New Year at all.

Han Yitong reported: "Young Master, I have been to the palace twice."

Shaking off the snow on his shoulders, he spoke unhurriedly: "There is a banquet in the palace tonight, and the guests are all the relatives of the nobles in the palace. If I go, wouldn't it be out of place? If you invite me again, just refuse it. "

"Yes."

Han Yi took the cloak and was about to hang it up when something suddenly fell to his feet with a crisp sound. He looked down and saw it was a pink pig bell.

It seemed that he had seen it somewhere before. Before he could figure it out, Zhao Wuling had already bent down to pick it up and hold it in his hand.

"You go down first."

".Yes."

Sensing the young master's displeasure, Han Yi stepped back.

Walking to the front of the case, he threw the bell on the table, opened the mailbox to check the letter, and saw the pig bell from time to time, which was very eye-catching.

Putting down the letter, he picked up the bell again, leaned under the candlestick to look carefully, rubbed his fingertips gently, and said with a wry smile: "Some people value things that others despise. There is no reason for this worldly thing." It can be said that it is nothing more than the word 'willing'."

As usual, on the night of the New Year's Eve, fireworks were set off in the capital all night, the whole city was brightly lit, and the night sky was as bright as day, extremely gorgeous.

He stood on the porch, quietly staring at the lonely tree in the courtyard.

There was a burst of cheers outside the mansion, and fireworks and firecrackers were set off along the street, all welcoming the arrival of the New Year.

He also sketched a smile, looking down at the pig bell in his hand.

"Happy New Year!"
