Jiang Mengzhen didn't think it was disobedient, and said generously: "Visitors, please sit down, and Biyan will serve you tea quickly. It is fate to meet each other, and the outside is not so particular."

The young man sat on the opposite side of Jiangmeng Pillow, holding a small and exquisite tea cup in his hand. The tea in the cup was clear green and fragrant, but he drank it in one gulp like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. Repeatedly said: "Good tea, good tea, but it still doesn't quench my thirst. Please, sister, give me a big cup!"

"You're really familiar with yourself," Bi Yan smiled back, "You think you're drinking cows and donkeys? It's a waste of such a good tea for you!"

The young man was not angry, but said aggrievedly: "It's enough to drink cows and donkeys. I want to drink water at the crossroads. How can I care about fine things?"

"Okay, give him the bamboo hat cup, why are you so stingy?" Jiang Mengzhen smiled and said: "You only care about arguing with him, the water is about to be overcooked, go and turn off the fire..."

Bi Yan hurriedly went to look at the wind furnace, and saw that the spring water was almost boiling, "Oh, I was careless! The water is already boiled a bit old..."

"What does water old mean?"

The young man was puzzled, so he blurted out the question, not afraid of people laughing at his ignorance. Biyan saw that he had a pure personality, and there was a bright and vigorous look in his brows and eyes. Although he acted abruptly, he didn't show any obscene or shrinking attitude, and most of his anger disappeared. , "The water on the stove boils too much, it is old, and the tea brewed from the overboiled water tastes bitter and astringent. Experts can taste it wrong."

"So that's how it is," the young man clapped his hands and looked up at Jiang Mengzhen: "But you are wearing a veiled hat, how do you know how boiled the water is?"

"There is a saying in the poem: Eagle Claw New Tea and Crab Eye Soup, Pine Breeze and Snow Rabbit Frost, Naturally you can hear it." Jiang Mengzhen said softly: "Listen to the sound of the waves and the wind, in fact, the pot in the furnace There is also a sound in it, at first it is like the breeze of thin willows, barely audible, and then it is like the clear sound of bamboo dew, the wind passing through the lotus pond, when the sky and the earth roar, and the pine waves of thousands of valleys, the water is already old."

The young man was so admired that he could hardly speak. He only felt that he could speak well, even such a trivial matter could describe a series of pleasant descriptions. He had never seen such a demeanor before. After a long while, he said in a daze: "I've never seen a person like you... When we drink tea at home, we just use boiled water to brew the tea casually. How can you be so particular about it? So your tea is really not a thirst quencher It’s the Yang Zhi Gan Lu.”

He held the empty teacup and looked at Biyan eagerly. Biyan laughed "puchi" at his greedy and dared not say anything, and put on a rabbit-fur bamboo hat cup to fill him with a cup of hot tea. "This time you have to try it out."

"That's natural!" The young man took a sip of tea in his tongue, and he really felt that there was an indescribable sweetness in the tea, unlike the rough tea at home, which was blindly bitter, "It's so sweet!" He seemed to have tasted it Like a cat like a fish, he narrowed his eyes, and then, as if he was reluctant to drink it up, he took a sip one after another.

"It's so pitiful," Jiang Mengzhen said with a smile: "You just drink it, you have enough tea for today, okay?"

The young man was very handsome, and now he smiled with white teeth, making him even more cheerful and lively, and extremely pleasing, "That's really great! By the way, what are you doing here, are you waiting for someone?"

Jiang Mengzhen shook his head and said, "I'm just drinking tea here, and I don't have anything to do."

"Then it's fine to drink in the house, so why come here?" The young man widened his eyes and scratched his head, "It turns out that drinking tea can also be regarded as a thing to do, you know those who are talking about the wind and water, and other things. Is it useful?"

"It's useless, but it can make a good cup of tea."

There was a puzzled expression on the young man's face. He was born in a peasant family. What he saw and heard since he was a child was very different from what Jiang Mengzhen thought and thought. The same sound of water was heard in different people's ears. What he heard It's "sweat dripping down the grass", but Jiang Mengzhen said "the sound of bamboo dew dripping", these leisurely and elegant tastes of boiling water and cooking tea, only rich people who don't worry about food and clothing have the spare time to play and study.

Biyan deliberately teased him: "Tell me, what is it useful to learn?"

"Grow vegetables in the cold dew, grow wheat in the frost! Hoe the valley three times, eight rice and two bran..." He snapped his fingers and said several such agricultural proverbs. Seeing that Bi Yan and Jiang Mengzhen were at a loss, he explained : "This is the mantra of farming. If you know it, you can harvest a lot of food!"

Biyan laughed so hard when she heard this, "It's been a long time since I've seen such an interesting person like you! After talking about it for a long time, it turns out that you are teaching our young master how to farm!"

The boy didn't understand, so, "Did I say something wrong?"

"That's right, just let's not talk about the cups and plates on the table, nor the tea you drank, but just this lychee charcoal." Bi Yan picked up a small black ball from the box, "You Do you know how much polished rice and white flour it takes to exchange for this small pill?"

"Who would use polished rice to replace this? I'm so stupid! I only know charcoal, black charcoal, coal, and what is lychee charcoal?"

Jiang Mengzhen said with a smile: "Lychee is a kind of fruit produced in Lingnan. The flesh is like curd, and the juice is sweet. Use its core to make charcoal fire. Boil the water without smoke and have a fruity aroma."

"It's so interesting, the fruit pits can be made into charcoal fire. The peach pits and apricot pits I ate before were wasted!" He licked his lips, "Lychee, lychee, the name sounds delicious, I will also eat it if I have the chance." I want to taste the taste of this stuff! Now that I have money, I can afford one tael of silver!"

The envoys of the Red Scarf Army couldn't wait for a long time, so Qi Heju came out to greet him in person, and saw Jiang Mengzhen wearing a veiled hat sitting opposite a young man in a small pavilion by the river, and another middle-aged man was holding his hand not far away. Looking at the pavilion on his horse, but not stepping forward, he was afraid that others would offend Jiang Mengzhen, so he hurried away at a fast pace, and suddenly heard a burst of laughter. When he looked carefully, Bi Yan was smiling at him. The man added a cup of tea, how could he look embarrassed or displeased?

Qi Heju pursed his lips, and walked up to the middle-aged man first. Seeing that he was wearing a red scarf around his neck, he bowed his hands and said politely, "My dear Qi Heju, you are Jiang Changzong of the Red Scarf Army." General Jiang?"

"I'm rude, I'm rude, I'm greeted by General Lao Qi." Jiang Changzong is a dark middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance but a pair of eyes shining brightly. He glanced at the pavilion, "That's my nephew Jiang Feng. The nobleman sat in one place, and I saw that they had a good chat, and they didn't dare to disturb him for a while, but made General Qi wait for a long time... I wondered to myself, could this young man be the younger brother of Princess Jin?"

"... Exactly."

"No wonder, no wonder!" Jiang Changzong was overjoyed, and rushed Qi Heju to the pavilion, "I asked General Qi to introduce me!"

The two walked into the pavilion, and just when they heard Jiang Feng talking about lychees, Jiang Changzong stomped his feet angrily: "What an idiot! You keep saying such stupid things, can't you? You just want to eat lychees for a tael of money, don't make people laugh." Do you know how expensive it is? In order to transport fresh lychees into the capital, many horses had to run and die on the road. All they could eat were princes and nobles. How can they be bought with money? ?!" He bowed to Jiang Mengzhen and apologized repeatedly: "It's really abrupt, my nephew has a lot of brute force, but he doesn't like to study, and he hasn't seen anything in the world. It really makes the nobleman laugh."

Jiang Mengzhen smiled softly, "It's okay, sir, you are too polite, making my nephew innocent and straightforward, and there is nothing to offend me."

Qi Heju said: "Young Master Jiang, this is General Jiang Changzong, a soldier of the Red Scarf Army, and his nephew Jiang Feng. These are the younger brothers of Princess Jin."

Several people greeted each other again, "It turns out that you are... oh, why didn't I think of that!" Jiang Feng tapped himself on the head, and said excitedly: "Since we have exchanged names, you already know that uncle and I are not bad people. , can you take off your veil? Otherwise, how can we be considered acquaintances?"

"He's weak and can't blow the wind!" Qi Heju saw that Jiang Feng's attention was all on Jiang Mengzhen, and he was already extremely vigilant. At this moment, when he heard Jiang Feng's request, the hairs on his back were almost like a beast. Standing upright, I wished I could put Jiang Mengzhen in my pocket and hide it tightly, and hurriedly changed the subject: "There will always be a time to meet in the future, why rush for a while?"

People who understand the world will definitely not insist on hearing this, but Jiang Feng is not winking, he said stupidly: "But when I rode over, Mr. Jiang was clearly not wearing a hat, I thought it was just to avoid suspicion." Right? Brothers and sisters in villages and towns can go to the market at will, without covering their faces at all, are the rules in the city so strict? General Qi, haven’t even you seen his appearance?”

Qi Heju was choked at the moment, "There is no need to avoid suspicion, the atmosphere in Beijing is also very open." Jiang Mengzhen rounded up the words with a smile, and threw Jiang Feng's words back to him jokingly, "It's just that I'm ugly. You can’t see anyone.”

Jiang Feng blushed instantly, "Blame me for saying the wrong thing just now, are you annoyed by me?"

Jiang Mengzhen lifted a corner of the draped veil with his hand, and smiled calmly at Jiang Feng. He was not at all contrived, but had a natural extraordinary demeanor. Under the blowing of the river wind, his clothes fluttered, his hands and His face is a jade color that is more radiant than white gauze, his eyebrows are picturesque, his lips are reddish, and a little red mole between his eyebrows makes him look like a fairy that cannot be desecrated.

Jiang Feng was stunned, he let out an "ah" from his throat, and after a while, he blushed and squeezed out a few words: "You...you are so beautiful..."

Jiang Mengzhen put down the veil, lowered her head slightly and said, "Thank you."

"Mr. Jiang is really good-looking." Jiang Changzong saw that Qi Heju's face turned black, and quickly pinched Jiang Feng to bring him back to his senses. "General Qi, let's go into the village to discuss important matters. Our uncle and nephew are really serious." You shouldn't bother Mr. Jiang anymore."

Qi Heju clenched his fists and took a step forward, intentionally blocking Jiang Feng's direct gaze, slightly raised his hand in the direction of the gate, and said in a deep voice, "Please, both of you!"

"Please!" Jiang Changzong dragged Jiang Feng out of the kiosk, Qi Heli turned his head and took a deep look at Jiang Mengzhen, and finally left quietly without saying anything.

On the way from Xiaoting to Yuanmen, Jiang Feng looked back frequently, but every time his sight was blocked by Qi Heji who followed behind him, he turned his head and said in a low voice: "It's strange, it's really strange, how can there be Jiang in the world?" What about a beauty like the young master? Even more beautiful than the pictures! And she is so generous and handsome, unlike some brothers and sisters in our village who are shy and shy when they see a man, and they can’t even speak well. Compared with him, they all become humble Chinese cabbages!"

"It was originally a pile of cabbage clappers to feed pigs! Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and they have been honored for many generations. They have married beautiful women who are educated and reasonable for generations, so they can give birth to such a brother like a fairy," Jiang Changzong nodded vigorously to his nephew. He poked his finger on his face, "If you marry a scumbag, the children you give birth will still be the same! Jiang Ergou, you should be more vigilant, this is a great opportunity to change the family. If you mess up, you I can only go back to the village and marry the fat girl from Widow Wang's family as a wife!"

Jiang Feng shook his head like a rattle, "I don't want her, her legs are thicker than my waist! I now know that there are brothers like Mr. Jiang in this world, and you want me to go back to the village to face her every day. Fatty's nose and eyes are crowded into a ball, it's better to give me a knife!"

"Yes, you remember that there is no turning back when you open the bow! You have seen good ones, and you will never look down on bad ones. Let's recruit Xiangyong to come out of the village. Since we have to fight, we have to bite the bullet and go Go forward!"

In front of the gate, Jiang Feng looked back again, but he could no longer see the small pavilion by the river clearly. Qi Heju passed him by, and finally walked to the front and beckoned them to go in. Jiang Feng frowned slightly, Reluctantly followed him into the army stronghold.

Several people sat down in the big tent to discuss the matter. The Red Scarf Army was formed by Hebei Xiangyong. Jiang Changzong was originally a scholar. He became the village head in his hometown. , Jiang Changzong has read books and has more knowledge after all. His nephew Jiang Feng is born with supernatural power and infinite power. The uncle and nephew first organized the farmers in the town to defend the village, and then contacted the surrounding villages and towns. A large number of rebels.They have nearly 10 horses, twice as many as the Xuanjia Army, but their armaments are insufficient. Many of them still use agricultural tools such as rakes, and most of the soldiers are farmers and untrained, so their combat effectiveness is slightly inferior. .

Jiang Changzong has struggled at the bottom for many years, and now he is able to take advantage of the situation. He is naturally clever and shrewd. When Nangong Huang talked with him, he felt that the words of this man were flattering and flattering, as if he was very supportive of the move to Beijing, but he did not One sentence made a real promise, which is really slippery.The two armies are testing each other, but they are not in a hurry. Nangonghuang winked at Qi Heju, and Qi Heju said knowingly: "You two have come from a long way, and you have worked hard all the way. You will have a long day ahead. Please rest today, and wait for the Yellow Eyebrow Army's arrival." The leader said, let’s talk about it in detail.”

Jiang Changzong stood up and bowed his hands: "General Qi is polite. It is a great honor to see the general's demeanor today. I have benefited a lot from the conversation with Mr. Nangong just now. We really came at the right time this time!"

He stretched out his hand and stabbed Jiang Feng, who was out of his mind. Jiang Feng, who had been in a daze during the meeting, suddenly returned to God and said, "You guys are done talking? General Qi, may I ask Mr. Jiang..."

"By the way, I heard that the major general was born with supernatural powers, and his chop/horse/knife made Di Bing frightened. He is a mighty general in the Red Scarf Army." Qi Heju suddenly got up and walked down from his seat, "I don't know Do you have a chance to meet Qi?"

"Ah?" Jiang Feng was taken aback, "Are you going to compete with me?"

"Hey, although it's good to learn and compete, it's just that you must not hurt your friendship!" Jiang Changzong laughed: "How about waiting for the soldiers of the Yellow Eyebrow Army to arrive, and our four armies jointly hold a school field competition to strengthen the army?"

Qi Heju stared at Jiang Feng and slightly curled the corners of his mouth, "...Then I am really looking forward to it."

For no reason, Jiang Feng felt a hair on his back. Although Qi Heji was smiling, there was a gloomy and fierce light in his dark eyes for some reason—like a lone wolf desperately trying to protect its territory.
