Chapter 1

On a March day in the south of the Yangtze River, the spring breeze gently blew the begonia flowers in the yard. Clusters of red flowers were in full bloom, with a few drops of fresh green dotted among them, full of vitality.

Wei Hanzhang opened the window and took a look at the weather that finally cleared up. He was still depressed and couldn't cheer up.

She stared blankly for a moment, still thinking about the conversation she overheard between two cousins ​​a few days ago.

They were saying that some time ago, Gu Yunran had two beautiful married women. The mother-in-law of the Gu family saw that her son was chasing after Wei Hanzhang every day, which was really unseemly, so she personally selected two sensible girls to give to her son. Heart.

When Wei Hanzhang first heard about this, his first reaction was to go to Gu Yunran for confirmation. However, his eldest cousin was getting married soon, and her sisters had been accompanying her to a gathering in another courtyard in the past few days.

It was naturally inconvenient for Gu Yunran, a foreigner, to come among the girls. Wei Hanzhang could only hold back for the time being, but as the days passed, he became more and more depressed as he thought about it.

Her mood was written all over her face, and several sisters could see it. They just thought she had some minor conflict with the young master of the Gu family and didn't care.

Seeing that she had been sitting alone by the window, Jiang Zhixue put down the embroidery work in her hands and coaxed: "It's rare to have a sunny day today. Why don't Ran Ran go for a walk in the garden? Before coming, didn't you think about how beautiful the crabapples in this courtyard are?"

Wei Hanzhang's small character Ran Ran was picked up by his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Jiang. After hearing this, she still leaned against the window edge with a sad expression.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and turned around: "Can you still get in to the Cao Garden next door?"

The two Jiang family girls looked at each other and shook their heads.

"After the Cao family was ransacked and all the property was confiscated, I have never heard of whether there is a new owner of the garden." Jiang Zhiqin sighed as he thought of the handkerchief he gave to Cao Xinrou, who still didn't know where he was at the moment.

Jiang Zhixue's eyes showed confusion: "Why did Ran Ran suddenly want to go to Cao Yuan's house?"

"A few years ago, when we were invited by the Cao family, we all went to stay in the garden next door for a few days. That time, I buried a jar of wine under her cherry tree."

Wei Hanzhang said softly: "It's a few years old now, so I want to dig it out and have a taste."

The jar was made of high-quality daughter's red. Gu Yunran dug the hole, she filled it with soil, and the two of them buried it together.

Now that I remembered it, it was fate, and it happened that the wedding of my eldest cousin was approaching, so my daughter Hongduo was in perfect condition. Wei Hanzhang gathered his spirits, stood up, put on his curtain hat, and got ready to go out.

Jiang Zhixue stopped her: "The gate of the garden next door has been closed these days, and no one comes in or out. How are you going to get in?"

Wei Hanzhang lifted his hat and smiled at her: "I have my own way. The two sisters are waiting to taste the bar that I buried myself."

After saying that, without waiting for them to say anything else, he walked out of the house in a few steps, but he still had the same tired energy as before.

The two young ladies from the Jiang family couldn't stop her. They were no better than Wei Hanzhang. The two elders of the Jiang family felt pity for their granddaughter who left her parents when she was young. They always doted on her, not to mention protecting her like a pair of eyes. It's almost the same, but she has been accustomed to the temperament she has now to do whatever comes to her mind.

She is not afraid of anything, but she has the little bully of the Gu family following her and is obedient. She herself comes from the Marquis Mansion in the capital. Looking at the entire Xuzhou city, who can have a better life than her.

Speaking of which, Wei Hanzhang has traveled through this era for so many years. Although he has never met his parents, he has never tasted the feeling of living under someone else's roof. From top to bottom, the Jiang family treats her very well. In terms of food and clothing, several of them The legitimate daughter is a head shorter than her.

After bidding farewell to his two cousins, Wei Hanzhang took his maid and walked toward the courtyard wall in his memory. The master and the servant searched for it for a long time, and finally found the hole that Gu Yunran and he had drilled a few years ago.

It's been all these years and it hasn't been blocked yet.However, the hole looked quite big back then, but it looks so small now. After all, she is now a 15-year-old girl. Isn’t it indecent to drill a hole like this...

Wei Hanzhang stood in front of the cave and showed a slight hesitation. The two maids behind him did not approve of her behavior. Seeing this, they hurriedly dissuaded her: "This cave is small, how can we pass people through? Girls, let's go back. If there is someone in the yard opposite, Once the Lord's message is spread..."

"No." Wei Hanzhang shook his head: "I've already told my two sisters what to do about returning home, and if the cherry orchard opposite really has an owner and they take over the new garden, how can they not repair it in order? They also allowed the courtyard wall to decay.”

Wei Hanzhang made up his mind to drill this hole. After saying this, he ordered two maids to guard at a distance to ensure that no one else could see her drilling the hole in the wall.

She raised her hand to stabilize the curtain hat, rolled up her sleeves, bent down and crawled towards the wall.

Although the entrance to the hole was small, fortunately she had a slender figure and the courtyard wall was not thick. Wei Hanzhang got through without much effort. She clapped her hands before standing up straight. She was about to let Luzhu and Lulan come over, when she raised her head. I saw a few big men standing at the pavilion not far away.

Those burly men, each with a sword on his waist, looked like a gangster rather than an ordinary guard.

Could it be that after the government confiscated the Cao family's property, they sold it to some bandit?

Or are the bandits occupying this remote village and plotting something big?
She won't run into a den of thieves, right?
A few thoughts flashed through his mind, and when he looked closely, he saw a young man sitting on a stone bench in the pavilion behind a few big men, making tea with his back to this side, and a slave standing bowed behind him.

The man was making tea in a leisurely and calm manner, and he didn't look like a bandit...

There was no news after the master passed by. Luzhu and Lulan on the other end couldn't help but call her in a low voice. Wei Hanzhang blinked and then tilted his head slightly to open his lips. However, when he saw several big men in front of him pulling out their swords, he had no choice but to keep silent.

I thought to myself: What a great prestige.

The man sitting in the pavilion making tea raised his hand, and several big men put away the murder weapon. Wei Hanzhang tentatively tilted his head again. Seeing that they didn't respond, he quickly spoke to comfort the maids, telling them to wait where they were and there was no need to follow them. Come.

After saying this, Wei Hanzhang stood up straight and calmed down, thinking that she was wrong for breaking into someone else's house without permission. Just as he was about to bow and apologize, he saw the servant standing behind the man stepped down from the pavilion and walked in front of her.

The servant nodded slightly to her and asked, "How did the young lady know that this place can be entered?"

Wei Hanzhang hesitated, seeing that the other party's appearance was getting worse, so he had to confess: "I had been drilled several times when I was young."

She was dressed like a lady from a rich family, so what she said was a bit abrupt. The servant was startled when he heard it, and asked again: "What are you doing here?"

The man who had been facing away from the pavilion got up at some point and glanced over with slightly lowered eyes.

Wei Hanzhang has always been bold. There is no one in Xuzhou city whom she dare not look at. She was not afraid when she saw this battle. Instead, she raised her head and looked at it very generously.

Before he could even think about it, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and almost couldn't control his retreat.

The man had an extremely cold face and a long body. He looked to be in his early twenties. His aura was as sharp as a sword, and the cold air radiated from him, making people tremble.

Is he the new owner of this manor?

When did such a character appear in Xuzhou City?
