[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Go away, don't disturb my ascension

Laughter is a laugh, Hua Manyu didn't even think about making people laugh.He and Song Qingshu looked at each other, and the latter also put away his smiling face, pretending that he wasn't the one who laughed at Ji Kaiqing just now.

Just at this moment, Hua Manyu had a good impression of Song Qingshu. In Ji Kaiqing's "I'm going to make trouble" eyes, Hua Manyu answered him with a smile: "There are seven brothers in my family, and I am the elder brother." Three, only the last word is different, which are Cheng, Ting, Yu, Xie, Xuan, Pavilion, and Lou. Do you know what they were named after?"

To Hua Manyu's "Yu", Ji Kaiqing always thought it was the "Yu" of the universe, but unexpectedly it refers to the "Yu" of the eaves.In this way, it seems that the last word is architecture... It is also very distinctive.

Ji Kaiqing nodded to show that he knew, and then began to settle accounts, mainly targeting Song Qingshu who had just followed Hua Manyu to laugh at him.He reached out and hooked Song Qingshu's neck from behind, and said with a smile, "Did you think I didn't see anything just now? Did you think I wouldn't do anything to you for laughing at your little uncle so openly?"

The strength from the neck was not strong, Song Qingshu knew that the other party was not angry at all, it was just a joke, so he cooperated and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, little uncle, I shouldn't laugh at you with Third Brother Hua, I I should guess the name with you."

Ji Kaiqing snorted, Hua Manyu didn't notice it doesn't mean he didn't notice it.The little nephew obviously knew the names of the brothers from the Hua family, that's why he had the expression just now. Ji Kaiqing didn't know the secrets about Song Qingshu, but he didn't treat Song Qingshu as if he was doing nothing at all. A child who knows, this person knows more than him.

With a little force, he leaned Song Qingshu back, and then released the arm that was strangling Song Qingshu's neck.

I haven't seen Huamanyu for about a month, but Ji Kaiqing feels that the other party has changed a lot, and I don't know what happened to the other party. He is obviously much happier than when he was in Peony Town.Ji Kaiqing thought about it for a while, but still didn't ask, and instead chatted with Hua Manyu about the delicious food or the beautiful scenery here in the south of the Yangtze River.

The place where the Hua family lives is not at all biased, it is to the west of Mudu Town, which is where Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu are after passing through the arch of Juxianji and passing the bridge.Mudu Town is divided into two parts by the river passing through the middle. The west of Mudu Town is different from the east of Mudu Town. There are many open spaces in the east for small vendors to set up their stalls, while the west of Mudu Town is more open along the street. shop.

The Hua family's house is located near the lake in the west of Mudu Town. It occupies a large area. At least part of the house can be seen from the outside that has been built on the water.No wonder Hua Manyu said just now that if you want to fish on the water, you can go to Hua’s house to fish. There is no need for a gatekeeper. More than half of the houses are built on the water, unless someone steps on the water or takes a boat. Enter the flower house from the outside.Ji Kaiqing felt that the Hua family was rich enough to build it like this, and he didn't know how much it would cost to build it like this, so Ji Kaiqing was a little envious.

Follow Hua Manyu through the main entrance that says "Hua Zhai". Unlike the Zhuangzi in the Central Plains, the Jiangnan-style courtyard is the front hall as soon as you enter the door. There are a few grand master chairs and tea tables neatly placed, and you walk in from the front hall It is a very large courtyard. Because it is built near the water, it is directly connected to the West Lake with a wall on one side.Ji Kaiqing's eyes fell on the big tree in front of him, and he didn't know what kind of tree it was. The branches were covered with blessing papers that said "a happy marriage for a hundred years" and "grow old together", and none of the words on the blessing paper were Repeatedly, at first glance, it is the words written by many different people.

Seeing Ji Kaiqing standing still under the tree, Hua Manyu smiled and said, "We call this tree the 'Wishing Tree', and it was moved in when my eldest brother got married, and the blessings on it are all my best friends In fact, there are not many written, but such a hanging is very much. Because it is full of blessings and wishes, so after a long time we call it the wishing tree, because of the existence of this tree, Mudu There are many families in the town who are going to get married and will come here to worship this tree specially, which can be regarded as a characteristic of Mudu."

"Very good." Ji Kaiqing also laughed, no wonder this tree has two trunks, it seems that this kind of big tree with the same root branch was specially found for celebration, next to this wishing tree is a circle of rockery, Bamboo was planted in the area enclosed by the rockery, and the growth of the bamboo was gratifying. From Ji Kaiqing's point of view, you can still see that the spring bamboo shoots that have not been dug up have grown for a long time.A stone platform was set up in front of the rockery, and there were table cases and bamboo mats on it. Ji Kaiqing pointed to the table case and asked, "Third Brother, are there such stone platforms in every part of the house?"

"Yeah, you like this kind of thing too? Then you must have a common language with Qitong," Hua Manyu said with a smile, reaching out and clicking on other positions, talking to the two people while pointing, "The front yard There are two here, and there is one in the pavilion facing the water along the way, here, there is also one on the platform built on the water, and there are more behind."

I have to say that the flower house was designed with a waste of thought. Ji Kaiqing even saw a small wooden boat docked at the stone steps facing the water. The wooden boat is not big, but it is enough for two or three people to sit in it. The boat was placed in a wooden boat with only a rope tied to a wooden post next to it. The boat seemed to be usable by anyone.

Hua Manyu led the two of them at a moderate speed, walked along the road to the front yard and entered the backyard from the water corridor. The backyard is the place where the Hua family lives and activities on weekdays.Compared with the front yard, there are more houses in the backyard, and the scenery is only the lake in the west and the Lingyin Temple on the mountain in the distance, but it is very cool here, and the wind blowing from the lake brings coolness, which makes Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu a little bit like this. Much more comfortable in the sweltering weather.

"Santong? Why are you back?"

The three of Hua Manyu looked at the location of the main house. There was a man with a beard and half-white hair standing at the door of the main house. Judging from his age, he should be Hua Manyu's father, but Ji Kaiqing didn't dare to just say anything casually. draw conclusions.

"I ran into Kaiqing on the road, the one from Taixuguan. Kaiqing and I met in Peony Town before." Hua Manyu talked about meeting Ji Kaiqing, and then introduced Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu, "Father, this is Ji Kaiqing Ji Xiaodao, and next to him is Song Qingshu and Song Shaoxia from Wudang. This is my father, the head of the Hua family."

The first thing Hua Ruling looked at was Ji Kaiqing. He knew Ji Kaiqing when Hua Manyu came back from Mudan Town. Taixuguan, which had not heard from him for a long time, suddenly appeared again. The matter of being a disciple of Tu is very important to both the Hua family and the Hua family.Although the Hua family is the real one who is tied to Tai Xu Guan in every generation, the Hua family and the Hua family have not been estranged after so many years, not to mention some outer disciples who have entered the world of Tai Xu Guan also helped It made the Hua family a lot of busy.

This time, this disciple of Taixu who was about to embark on the path of enlightenment seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, but Hua Ruling didn't dare to underestimate him because of his age.It has been many years since Taixuguan has no disciple who has opened the divine enlightenment, and being able to be taken to the Hua family already shows Ji Kaiqing's ability.Hua Ruling walked over from the door of the main house: "Since Taoist Kaiqing and Santong are called brothers, I won't talk about those vain etiquettes. If you two don't think I'm relying on the old and selling the old, call me uncle, and you can be regarded as in the Jianghu. There are two more juniors."

Ji Kaiqing smiled and bowed: "Of course I want to call. Uncle Hua is related to the Hua family, so naturally he has something to do with Taixu Guan. If I have no manners at all, my senior brothers probably want to come down and beat me up." of."

Song Qingshu also bent down to salute: "Junior Wudang Song Qingshu has seen Uncle Hua."

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu arrived in Mudu Town, and they walked around Mudu for a while before arriving at Hua's house, but after chatting with Hua Ruling in the central hall, it was time for dinner.Originally, Ji Kaiqing thought that he would be able to identify all the members of the Hua family today, but he walked to the dining room and found out from Hua Manyu that only Hua Manyu and Hua Manlou were present among the seven sons of the Hua family, and the others were not in Jiangnan. .Some went to Bashu, the Central Plains, and some to the Yanqiu area, for the property of the Hua family.

If there are so many people in the Hua family, what Ji Kaiqing wants to see most is Huamanlou.It must not be easy to be friends with Lu Xiaofeng, not to mention that Hua Manyu also said that Lu Xiaofeng often came to Hua's house to look for Hua Manlou, if the relationship was not really good, the relationship would not be so close.

"Uncle, look over there."

Ji Kaiqing looked in the direction Song Qingshu said, and at some point on the lake more than ten meters away from them came a small boat with only one person sitting on the bow.I don't have a paddle in my hand, so I just drift with the current, and I don't know where it came from.

The movement of Song Qingshu and Ji Kaiqing made Hua Manyu also look over, and when he saw who it was, he explained to them: "The one sitting on the bow of the boat drinking always buries his head under the bamboo hat. I haven't seen him speak, but I have seen his face a few times, he looks very good, it seems that he came here a year ago, and I don't know what he did before."

The man was wearing a white coat with a splashed ink landscape painting on it. From his sitting posture, it could be seen that the clothes on this man were wearing a single pendant. What kind of person would be used to wearing a single pendant while walking on the road?Both Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu knew that only those who had served as soldiers liked to wear single-swing clothes.He wore a dark bamboo hat on his head, which didn't match the clothes on his body at all, and he would only look up when he was holding the flagon to deliver wine to his mouth.But the movement of drinking was quick and unrestrained, and Ji Kaiqing didn't see anything from just that one glance.

Naturally, there is no way of knowing what Hua Manyu said about "very good looking" is a good way.
