I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Gu Ming said with emotion: "Tang Jieyuan is really lucky. The eight wives are all as beautiful as flowers and jade, virtuous and gracious, and people are very envious."

As soon as the words fell, there was a string of silver bell-like laughter in the courtyard.

"whee"

"Gu Jieyuan really knows how to praise people"

It's no wonder this guy doesn't want to take the exam, it's like a day that gods don't change, whoever wants to take the exam will go.

Tang Bohu smiled modestly: "It's just so-so, Gu Jieyuan, don't make fun of me, please sit down, please sit down!"

On the other side, the maid had already made tea and brought some plates of fruit.

"This time, thanks to Tang Jieyuan's invitation, Xiaosheng just had the opportunity to come to Gusu Mansion to participate in the Golden Osmanthus Festival"

After sitting down, Gu Ming first expressed his thanks.

"Gu Jieyuan is the emperor's hand-picked Xie Yuan, with outstanding talent and admiration.

I am not the only one who invited you this time, Brother Zhu and others also want to take this opportunity to have a glimpse of Gu Jieyuan's demeanor."

After complimenting each other, the two began to chat about some poems, songs, and romantic topics.

This conversation was a bit unstoppable, and it seemed like we would meet each other later.

Ever since, the two sides finally stopped being so polite, and they aroused each other's name.

At the same time, Tang Bohu also sent his servants to inform Zhu Zhishan, Zhengming, and Xu Zhenqing.

"Xing, it's your first time in Gusu, so you must get drunk tonight."

"Since Brother Bohu is so kind to invite you, Xiaosheng should sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman."

Drinking, who is afraid of coming?

"Hahaha, happy! Happy!"

Tang Bohu couldn't help laughing.

Speaking of it, Tang Bohu has always been conceited and aloof, and rarely takes the initiative to make friends with others.

This time I took the initiative to invite Gu Ming to come to Gusu. First, I was curious. After all, it is rare to see Xie Yuan hand-picked for hundreds of years.

Second, it is also out of sympathy.

The same goes for Zhu Zhishan, Zhengming, and Xu Zhenqing.

The poems written by Gu Ming for the exam, including his The Romance of the West Chamber and Dream of Red Mansions, the four of them made a special trip to read them, and sat together to discuss the writing, plot, character design, verses, etc. of the book.

Although the four of them are recognized as the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, they have to admit that Gu Ming's talent is really admirable.

It's no wonder that the emperor made an exception and hand-picked Enke Jieyuan.

The two chatted for almost an hour, and finally Zhu Zhishan, Zhengming, and Xu Zhenqing came hand in hand.

"Gu Jieyuan, long-awaited, long-awaited!"

"Gu Jieyuan is indeed a talented young man!"

"I've been looking at you for a long time, I must have a good drink today!"

As soon as they met, there was a burst of politeness in the courtyard.

This is the division of circles.

To put it simply, birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups.

It is difficult for people from different circles to really get together.

"My younger brother has long admired the names of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a great honor to meet each of them today."

"Hahaha, each other, Gu Jieyuan stole the limelight in the Jinke Township Examination.

One sentence will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains are small at a glance, it is simply amazing, and it makes people's blood boil."

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, Tang Bohu subconsciously glanced at Zhu Zhishan and said, "Brother Zhu, among the four of us, you are the one who likes to go around and visit places.

Xing came to Gusu for the first time, maybe find a good place to drink tonight? "

Before Zhu Zhishan could speak, Zhengming couldn't help laughing and said, "How about going to Yanzhifang?"

The Rouge Boat is one of the most famous romantic places in Gusu Mansion, and it is also the largest painting boat in Gusu Mansion.

The painting boat is also equipped with more than ten small boats, which are convenient for guests to go boating on the water.

Although the consumption is not low, all the girls in it are good at singing and dancing, and they can also recite poems and make pairs, which attracts many talented men and sons and daughters to find beauty on boats.

"Alright, then go to Rouge Boat."

Obviously, Tang Bohu was quite satisfied with this proposal.

Xu Zhenqing has no objection either.

But Zhu Zhishan said: "Although Yanzhifang is good, but my younger brother recently found a better place."

"Oh? Where?"

Tang Bohu and the others suddenly became interested.

"This place is called Peach Blossom Village"

"Peach Blossom Village?" Tang Bohu was stunned: "Why have I never heard of it?"

Zhu Zhishan smiled triumphantly: "Of course you haven't heard of it, and my younger brother also discovered it by accident recently.

The location of this village is relatively hidden, located in the depths of Taohuagou on the outskirts of the city.”

"No, I've been to Taohuagou many times, but I haven't seen any Taohuazhuang."

"I've never seen it either." Zheng Ming echoed.

Zhu Zhishan explained: "That's because it used to be just a residential building. It was renamed Taohuazhuang about a month ago and opened to the public."

"I see! But brother Zhu, you praise this village so much, what's so different about it?"

"It's hard to describe." Zhu Zhishan murmured with a fascinated look: "The wine is good, the flowers are fragrant, and the people are beautiful."

"Okay, let's go see it!"

In just six words, it has already expressed its charm.

"Xing, what do you mean?"

Although a decision had been made, out of courtesy, Tang Bohu turned his head to ask Gu Ming for his opinion.

"Hehe, I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with the Gusu Mansion, so it's fine for the four brothers to decide."

"Then it's decided, go to Peach Blossom Manor!"

Tang Bohu didn't want to miss the opportunity even more with the word "peach blossom".

Although it is already past the peach blossom season, as long as you have peach blossoms in your heart, you can still linger in the peach forest even in the cold winter.

Taohuagou is located in the north of the city, about ten miles away from the city.

This place belongs to the hilly area, and the mountain is covered with wild peach trees. The oldest tree is said to be more than a thousand years old.

Every spring, peach blossoms are in full bloom all over the mountains and fields, and the flowers and leaves are flying.

Walking through it is like entering a fairyland on earth.

Therefore, it also attracted countless people to come to enjoy the flowers and recite poems, and I don't know how many good sentences and stories have been left behind.

A group of five arrived at Taniguchi in a carriage, then got off and walked along the ravine.

Looking around, the hillsides on both sides are covered with wild peach trees of various shapes and sizes.

There are still a few late-ripening peaches hanging on some old trees.

"Brother Zhu, how far is it to go in?"

After walking for a while, Tang Bohu asked subconsciously.

"About three or four miles."

The terrain of Taohuagou is relatively complicated, with large and small ravines intersecting vertically and horizontally, just like a maze.

Fortunately, the government has set up signage at some intersections, which is considered considerate.

After walking along Zhu Zhishan for a long time, finally, the group of people saw a small sign saying: Peach Blossom Village.

Following the direction of the arrow, we went on for a while and found another sign

"No wonder I didn't notice it before, this place is indeed a bit remote."

Tang Bohu couldn't help sighing.

"Hehe, brother Tang, this is called "The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys."

This is not an exaggeration at all.

When the group of five finally arrived at Peach Blossom Villa, they realized that although the villa was not very big, it was extremely delicate and elegant.

In addition to peach trees, there are also lotus, peony, osmanthus, orchid, chrysanthemum, lily, narcissus and so on.

There are towers, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, rockery corridors, and winding paths leading to seclusion.

As soon as I entered, I saw more than a dozen guests sitting at the stone table in twos and threes in the front yard, drinking, drinking tea and chatting.

Seven or eight maids in pale pink dresses shuttled back and forth like butterflies.

"Not bad, indeed good!"

Although he had traveled such a long distance, Tang Bohu felt satisfied when he saw the situation.

"Brother Tang, if it's just like this, I wouldn't bring you here on purpose."

Zhu Zhishan smiled coquettishly, and subconsciously glanced at the backyard.

"Oh? Could there be something more surprising?"

"That's right, most of the people who come to Peach Blossom Manor come for the owner of this manor."

This remark immediately aroused the interest of Tang Bohu and others, and they all asked about it.

"Brother Zhu, who is the owner of this village?"

"Don't keep it up, just say it quickly."

"That's right, what are you doing mysteriously?"

Gu Ming did not speak, but narrowed his eyes and looked around

Although he didn't use the skill of perceptive observation, but in his heart, he faintly felt that this Peach Blossom Village was a bit unusual

Chapter 128

"Hey, Tang Jieyuan is here too?"

"It's really him!"

"The Four Great Talents Are Here"

As soon as Tang Bohu and others appeared, there was a commotion in the yard.

This is the celebrity effect.

All of a sudden, almost everyone rushed forward

For such a situation, Tang Bohu and others have experienced a lot, and they socialized calmly.

Afterwards, Tang Bohu cheerfully pointed to Gu Ming and said, "Let me introduce to everyone, this is Gu Jieyuan who has caused a sensation in the south of the Yangtze River recently."

"what?"

"Gu Jieyuan is here too?"

"Long-Long Look"

The crowd suddenly got a little excited.

After all, even if Gu Ming's current reputation is not as good as the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not far behind.

"Gu Jieyuan finally came to Gusu, how about having a drink with me?"

"Yes, yes, it's better to have a little fun together."
