Chapter 27 28. Returning to Yunzhuang

After staying in Xiangyang for a few days, after paying homage to Yang Chen's late father, the two left Xiangyang for Lin'an.

Yang Chen had walked this road before, but at that time because of anger, he didn't take a good look at the scenery along the way, which was considered a big loss.

But fortunately this time with Huang Rong as company, the two of them were not in a hurry to go on the road. They traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, having a good time, and gradually their relationship became deeper and deeper.

The two traveled eastward all the way, and soon came to the edge of Taihu Lake.Taihu Lake is surrounded by three states, and all the water in the southeast comes here. It travels five hundred miles in a circle, and it was called Wuhu in ancient times.

Yang Chen had never been here before in his previous life, and he could see Taihu Lake with its long sky and far waves, green as far as the eye can see, and 72 green peaks, standing upright in the [-] hectares of waves, he couldn't help shouting up to the sky, his heart suddenly widened.

"Let's go swimming in the lake!" Huang Rong said to Yang Chen with a smile.At this time, there was a wind coming from the lake, which happened to blow Huang Rong's hair on her temples, exposing her powdery face.Just at this glance, Yang Chen felt his heart skip a beat.

"Okay!" Yang Chen replied with a smile.

Then he took Huang Rong to sell a small boat to the fishermen by the lake, and rowed into the lake.The distance from the shore is getting farther and farther, and the surrounding area is full of lake water. People don't know whether the lake and sea are in the sky and the earth, or the sky and the earth are in the lake and sea.

The two went on a boat and talked, and when the excitement was high, Huang Rong paddled the oars and sang on the water waves. If this happened, the two of them were very happy.

He simply stopped paddling and let the boat drift with the wind, and he didn't realize that he was more than ten miles away from the shore.

The two of them had been boating from noon to evening. Seeing the dusk was dark and the smog on the lake thicker, coupled with their hunger, they thought about going back.

But at this time, he was far away from the shore when he came, so he could only find another direction.Yang Chen looked up and looked around, only to find a faint light in the west.

So he said, "Rong'er, look quickly, there seems to be someone there."

"Quick, let's row over." Huang Rong picked up an oar, and together with Yang Chen, rowed towards the light.

The two worked together, and the boat walked steadily and quickly, but it took several miles before the stars and lights became brighter, and the two finally came to a water island.

The boat moored on the bluestone wharf, and the two of them came ashore. They saw that there were many pavilions in front of them, and it turned out to be a huge mansion. They walked across a large stone bridge and came to the front of the manor.

"Return to Yunzhuang." Huang Rong looked at the plaque on the gate of the house and read, while Yang Chen stepped forward and knocked on Zhuangzi's door.

"Who is it?" A voice sounded from behind the door.

"We came here for sightseeing, but because we forgot the time and were trapped in the lake, we came to stay overnight when we saw the lights here, and please be kind and inform the master."

"Wait." The man behind the door said something to him, and then fell silent, probably to report to the master.

After a while, Zhuangzi's door opened, and a young man in his twenties came out, followed by five or six servants.

The young man glanced at the two of Yang Chen, and seemed to think that the two of them were very handsome, so he asked, "Are you the ones here to stay?"

Yang Chen cupped his hands, and said: "Exactly, the two of us forgot the time when we went to the lake, and we didn't have time to go back. We happened to pass by Guizhuang, so we wanted to spend the night."

The young man nodded and said, "Come in with me."

"Thank you, young master." Yang Chen and Huang Rong thanked each other with their hands together, and then entered the Zhuangzi.

Yang Chen asked, "I don't know your brother Gao's name?"

The young man said: "My surname is Lu, and I am Lu Guanying, the young master of Guiyun Village. You two should just call me by my first name."

Yang Chen cupped his hands and said, "Who dares, who dares, Mr. Lu, I am Yang Chen."

"Huang Rong." Huang Rong followed suit.

Lu Guanying smiled and said, "You two are welcome, please."

The three of them walked into the inner hall while talking.The furnishings in the villa are gorgeous, carved beams and painted buildings, extremely ingenious, and have the characteristics of bright and beautiful southern gardens.On the contrary, Huang Rong looked at the road layout in the village all the way, with a slight surprise on her face.

Lu Guanying led the two of them through the third courtyard and came to the back hall, "Please sit down, you must have not eaten yet! I'll ask the kitchen to prepare for you."

Yang Chen thanked, "Please trouble Mr. Lu."

Lu Guanying said: "You don't have to thank me." After finishing speaking, he left the back hall, leaving only Yang Chen and the others behind.

Seeing no one around, Huang Rong whispered to Yang Chen, "Why is Master Lu so courteous to us?"

"I don't know about this either." Yang Chen was also confused and couldn't figure it out.

Huang Rong said: "There is nothing to be courteous about. It's either rape or robbery. The people who return to Yunzhuang must have no good intentions."

Yang Chen shook his head, "That's not necessarily true."

However, he knew that the owner of Guiyun Villa, Lu Chengfeng, was Huang Yaoshi's apprentice, so as long as Huang Rong revealed her identity, Guiyun Village would not hurt them no matter what thoughts she had in her heart.

Seeing that Yang Chen didn't care, Huang Rong reminded, "You have to be careful with the food they serve later, lest they poison you."

"I know."

The two of them waited for a short time before they saw Lu Guanying leading a few servants and starting to serve food. After a while, the table was full of food, and Lu Guanying even ordered his servants to serve two jars of good wine.

Lu Guanying said: "You two, please use it slowly."

"Wait." Seeing that Lu Guanying was about to leave, Yang Chen stopped him.

"What else is there for Mr. Yang?" Lu Guanying asked, "But you are not satisfied with our arrangement?"

Yang Chen shook his head, "No, I just want to know why Mr. Lu is so eager? Could it be that he knows both of us?"

Lu Guanying replied: "No, it's just that there are very few guests in Guiyun Village, and my father ordered me to entertain them."

Huang Rong also asked, "What about the owner of Guizhuang? Why didn't he show up?"

"My father's legs and feet are inconvenient, and he's already lying down. The two of you will have dinner first, and after a night's rest, my father will naturally see you two."

"So that's it." Yang Chen nodded, and then continued, "However, Guizhuang has prepared too many meals, why don't Mr. Lu accompany the two of us together?"

Lu Guanying immediately refused: "Then there is no need, I have already eaten."

At this moment, there was an indiscernible rustling sound from outside the hall, Yang Chen had excellent hearing, so he could hear it.Immediately afterwards, a servant entered the hall, whispered a few words to Lu Guanying, and then withdrew.

"Take your time, both of you. I have important matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you." After speaking, she was ready to leave.

But Yang Chen said: "Master Lu doesn't want to sit down and eat together. Is there really something important, or is there poison in this dish?"

Lu Guanying turned around angrily, and asked, "Young Master Yang, what do you mean?"

"Everyone has already arrived outside the hall, so there is no need for Master Lu to act with us!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the hall, "There is really no need to act with you, so I will ask directly, who sent you here?"

At the same time as this voice sounded, two servants carried a piece of bamboo into the hall, and a skinny middle-aged man was sitting on it.
