The Happy Man in the Red Chamber

An Lan asked the servant to put away the things, and took Ou Mufeng to quickly move towards Neifang with light work.Although Ou Mufeng was puzzled, he still followed.I saw a forest on the other side of the hill.An Lan looked at the forest and pursed her lips with a smile: "Follow me, if you make a mistake, you'll be laughing."

Ou Mufeng didn't say anything, but nodded with a paralyzed face.He doesn't like words very much by nature, even when he gets along with friends, the friends keep talking, and he just listens.

An Lan stepped on a fixed rhythm, while activating some places with internal force, while giving Ou Mufeng the way to enter.Ou Mufeng listened carefully, but found that it seemed to be the secret of Qixiufang. He was a little worried and asked An Lan during the break.

An Lan sat on the branch of a tree, looked at him, shook her head and smiled: "Qixiufang is different from Cihang Jingzhai, you would rather find Qixiufang than Cihang Jingzhai, you probably see this too. Qiembroidery is divided into Neifang There are two parts with the outer square. Now you can see the master Yiying, who is actually the master of the Qixiufang Sword Hall. But when it comes to kung fu, the worst in this inner workshop is me. Because the inner workshop is mainly for cultivation, I borrowed it The identity of An Lan, the Xing family, is married to Jia She of the Rongguo Mansion. You must understand me before you can enter the ranks of Taoism. Right now, you can only stay in the innate."

"Is it okay to tell me this?" Ou Mufeng expressed doubts.

An Lan shook her head: "In the face of absolute power, any conspiracy is a paper tiger." She tilted her head and smiled: "There are two masters following me all the time, can you feel it?"

Ou Mufeng shook his head.An Lan saw him shaking his head and smiled: "That's it, your kung fu is not weak. The two of them are the second of my hidden guards. Although there are only two of them, no one in this world can hurt me unless I do it on purpose. Ready to flirt? Let's go!"

An Lan didn't want to say more, but Ou Mufeng could hear it.Quickly got up and walked over.

The scenery of Neifang is extremely beautiful, and most of the houses are from the Tang Dynasty.It looks very old-fashioned.An Lan took him quickly up to Yiying Building, and the tall building stood tall.She strolled in, had someone prepare a guest room for Ou Mufeng, and then went back to her room to freshen up and change.

At this time, it has entered the end of summer, and it is the time when autumn tigers are most prevalent.Rummaging in the closet, An Lan was wearing a pair of close-fitting underwear with straps on the top and a tie at the back, used to hold up and gather myrobalan.The white myrobalan increases the wide shoulder straps, but the effect is much better than that of a tube top alone.Put on a thin cotton sleeve on the outside, a pink embroidered embroidered flower welt double-breasted short underwear, and a white gauze wide-sleeved half-sleeve shirt on the outside, with pure gold on the arms without any inlays, hollowed out and carved with winter jasmine patterns Three scroll armlets.Underneath the high-waisted inner skirt was a chest-length sand-woven skirt with a white bottom and embroidered colorful peach blossoms.

Opening the neckline a bit, she sat in front of the dresser and served as a servant, and carefully followed her instructions to twist the upper half of her hair into a small crescent bun on one side, tie a golden string and two or three Pink peach silk flowers.The forehead hair that was raised with pomade was simply scattered, and the long hair behind her turned into a long braid, with light warm green and pink ribbons mixed in the middle, hanging down her side, very delicate and pretty.

I chose a pair of pearl earrings and put them on. I didn't use much chalk, but just moistened my lips with rose balm.Different from the coquettish beauty before, An Lan now has more of the beauty of the little girl next door.

The chest-length skirt is fastened with a green ribbon and hangs down to the knees on both sides of the chest.Underneath the usual ribbon, there are two jasper bells, which ring crisply when walking.Wear shoes with white background and green moire pattern on the wedge heels, and wear the customary red agate beads on the left hand.A delicate little beauty appeared in front of Ou Mufeng who was drinking tea and waiting.

He knew that this woman was beautiful, but he never imagined that she could be so delicate.He was holding the teacup and didn't know whether to put it down or continue.He could only lower his head and cough, put down his teacup: "Ma'am, this is..."

"Young Master, just call me Lele. If it's always Mrs. Ma'am, although those who know my identity generally understand, I have to be a general's wife in Rongguo Mansion for no reason. But in the end, I am still a parrot, little girl." The house of the girl who has never been called for the first time. Or if the young master can’t speak, call me Miss Lin!”

An Lan looked at this man interestingly, with a serious and thoughtful expression on his face.But in the final analysis, it is still mostly martial arts, but it also has something to do with living habits.She doesn't necessarily require herself to find a man to live a real life, but in the final analysis...she is afraid of being lonely.A person's practice is ultimately unbearable.

Furthermore, who stipulated that one cannot find a man to live with a person who cultivates immortality?This man looks good, maybe there will be even better ones in the future.It is also interesting to talk about a relationship right now.

Ou Mufeng didn't know what she was thinking, but felt that the woman in front of him was like a fog.Harmless, but also incomprehensible.He can feel that there is no malice, but most of them are jokes.

"Miss Lin!" Since Ou Mufeng went to Yiying Building, he knew that what this woman said about her identity was true.He urgently needs someone to accompany him, so of course he won't look far away.Putting down the teacup, he touched the edge of the teacup after bowing: "I need someone who knows herbs to accompany me to Miaojiang. Of course it's good that Miss Lin is willing to accompany you. It's just the price..."

"Since I became a teacher to take over the sect, I haven't entered the rivers and lakes. Why don't you be my guide, how about repaying it? After saving the person you want to save, you can play with me for a while." An Lan knew the other party She is not a person who has to be so worried.Ou Mufeng listened and nodded: "Listen, I'm taking advantage of you."

"Buying and selling, this kind of thing is originally set by one family, and one family pays for it. The difference between profit and loss depends on the thoughts of both buyers and sellers. You don't need to think too much. I don't know when you will decide to leave? Going to the southern border, but it will be farther away Yes. The closest wharf to Qixiufang is Tianfu Fengdu. However, it will take water, and it will take fifteen days to go from West Lake to the special channel of Qixiufang."

What An Lan said is correct, although the pier of Qixiufang can extend in all directions, but in the final analysis, there is also a distance requirement for the formation.Otherwise, wouldn't she be able to go wherever there is water?

Ou Mufeng raised his head and looked at her: "I wonder if we can set off immediately? To save lives and emergencies. It is also very close from Tianfu Fengdu to Miaojiang. It will take five days to reach Lijiang by riding a horse. My friend is currently under the supervision of a doctor from Baicaotang , it can last for three to five months at most. I don’t know if I haven’t entered the mountain yet.”

An Lan nodded: "Is the young master's luggage complete?"

"I don't have anything long in here, I have two sets to change and wash, and the most are bank notes and money." Ou Mufeng pointed out that he was light-hearted, and An Lan tilted her head to look at Qian Momo who was on the side: "Let the key follow me, where are you?" Just follow Yingchun here. Instruct the pier to prepare the big boat, prepare two sets of short clothes for the disciples of Qixiufang, and two sets of skirts. Small things inside are up to you, and they will be sent to secret at that time The key is there."

"Yes!" Qian Momo nodded respectfully, An Lan got up and walked out with Ou Mufeng, and said as she walked, "Since you are in a hurry, you can go to the pier with me. The workshop has its own way of transmitting messages, and we will be prepared when we arrive." Alright."

She walked out of the door quickly, looked at the blue sky and clear lake outside, jumped up the railing a few times with light steps, and floated down.Ou Mufeng was taken aback by her boldness. He had estimated the Yiying Building when he was waiting, and it was at least ten feet high.Although the log lattice in the middle can be borrowed.But in the final analysis, this woman is drifting far away.

He used his strength to go downstairs, closely following An Lan who was already dancing like a butterfly on the lake.

The wharf of Neifang is on a small island opposite Yiying Building, which is different from the design of An Lan's previous game.An Lan has changed a lot about this. After all, even if he can enter Neifang, he still needs to be tested.Therefore, a small island was specially developed as the residence for the new disciples when they started.It's just that at this time, except for the pier that the servant takes care of, the house is empty.

Ou Pu prepared the boat early, and a single-masted one-story luxury sailboat was parked beside the pier.Ou Mufeng had seen those puppets who didn't speak, kept their heads down while doing things, and thought they might be similar to some dumb servants or medicine men in some sects.But I never thought that they are all inanimate things.

An Lan took him into the boat, and the servant used his spiritual power to steer the boat.Sitting by the window, An Lan pointed out the window: "Don't just go out of the boat just looking at the fun, the inside of Qixiufang is different from other sects. Qimen Dunjia is one aspect, and on the other hand, there are also secret techniques. If you are curious, , it won’t be beautiful if you hurt your hands and feet.”

Ou Mufeng wanted to stretch out his hand to feel the wind outside the window.But I don't want to hear such a prompt.There is still a distance outside the cabin and it is close to the wall of the ship.He withdrew his hand, untied the two swords on his body and the long sword originally at his waist, and put them aside.

There is no scenery outside, and the lake is surrounded by light and shadow.It seems that this boat has been wandering on the West Lake.Ou Mufeng frowned, but knew that it was his own secret.It is definitely not good to ask more questions, and it is just a daily meditation and rest.He is not a talkative person, but he is very leisurely.An Lan is habitually seasick, and has been in the bedroom since boarding the boat, and has never gotten up except for going out.The key of the waiter apologized to Ou Mufeng for this, and Ou Mufeng thought it was understandable.After all, it is a good thing for a lonely man and a widow to separate the hatchback.

Fifteen days later, the pale An Lan reappeared in the living room of the cabin.Ou Mufeng has been resting well, eating well and looking good then.Seeing her pretty face pale, I felt a little embarrassed after all.

"But...need to stop the boat?" He asked dryly.An Lan shook her head: "I just slept too much." She knew what was wrong with her, and it was a physical problem for others to get seasick.Her seasickness is a psychological problem.This is also the reason why she would rather use the jade pendant to go back and forth between the inside and outside of the workshop than to be a boat.When I brought Jia Lian with me, I just pretended to be there.There's no need to pretend right now, after all, I don't look good.

The boat has entered the Yangtze River system, and the scenery outside officially shows the night of the Yangtze River after a hazy mist.

The current in this section is a bit turbulent, but after all, it has no effect on the treasure vessel operated by the servant. An Lan sat by the window and opened the window to look at the scenery outside: "I have entered the Yangtze River. Are you familiar with the lights outside?"

There are not many lights, and more ships are coming and going.Fengdu is also called Bashu Youdu.In An Lan's memory, this is a small town with strong folk culture.Its ghost culture is almost integrated with all domestic folklore.But Fengdu right now is just a martial arts town run by the Qingcheng faction.Of those famous landscapes, apart from the Yinwang Mountain, the only thing that remains is the Prince's Hall in the Ghost King City.It's just that the Prince's Palace is now deserted, and the barren grass is flying, and there is no management from the tourism department and the cultural relics department, so it is almost dilapidated.

The two of them disembarked lightly, and it was already early morning.Fengdu City is still far away, and Sanhe Town is near the river.This wharf town formed by the confluence of three rivers is already crowded with people, and the passing passenger ships are busy.

Walking out of the pier, you can enter Sanhe Town along the bluestone road.The town is not big, but because of the busy dock business, it also has a taste of the city.The streets near the pier are full of restaurants and restaurants, and when you walk through the alley, you can still see the red lights inside.In some alleys, there are hook bars inside.There are no officials, but there are many civilians.Fortunately, although Sanhe Town belongs to Fengdu, it is still under the management of the imperial court in the final analysis.After all, there is no chaos there, but there are many gangs in the Water Transport, and it is not very leisurely.

An Lan and Ou Mufeng found a clean and nice restaurant to go in, went to the box on the second floor, and ordered porridge, tea eggs and some side dishes.An Lan's complexion was not very good, and she was wearing a cap.Ou Mufeng was dressed in a long brown robe with two swords on his back, so he was not easy to provoke.It's just that she seems to take care of An Lan, but Xiaoer thinks they are husband and wife.

Xiaoer's speech is not good, with a strong local taste.In An Lan's ears, it was undoubtedly like listening to heavenly scriptures.However, the combination of strokes and small second voice can be understood.

The independent economy of the people's livelihood and the small peasant economy itself restrict the circulation of commodities, and at the same time limit the circulation of things like silver and money to the transaction of bulk commodities.

For shops and restaurants, the daily turnover is like that of the capital, and the highest will not exceed 50 taels.Not to mention the wharf towns in remote towns like this one.

An Lan used a bowl of porridge, a plate of cucumber sticks mixed with chili oil, and four meat buns the size of a baby's fist, all of which cost only fifteen Wen.Ou Mufeng ate four cakes, a bowl of mutton bone soup, half a white striped chicken and four tea eggs, all for only [-] Wen.The two together are less than a hundred dollars.

Cheap prices have long been the content of stable prices and stagnant business in small markets.An Lan calculated carefully, and felt that she was not an ordinary rich man, so she didn't care.

After a simple breakfast, the key couple also appeared on the street pulling a carriage.An Lan didn't go through the main entrance, and directly floated down into the carriage with light work.Because he had to go to Lijiang first, it would be a bit of a waste if the two horses galloped. Ou Mufeng saw An Lan's expression at that time and agreed with the carriage.He was driving, and if An Lan slept on the road in the car, there would be a shelter from the wind and rain.

An Lan's carriage is different from the current carriages. Although it is entered from the driving position, the interior is decorated with a European-style carriage.Although the place is not big, it is good to have two beds for people to lie on.The table in the middle is put down, and the board table below is brought up to form a large bed.Of course, Ou Mufeng didn't know about these institutions.He glanced inside and thought it was very delicate, but he didn't say much.

An Lan got into the carriage, took off her shoes and sat on the side leaning against the carriage.The serving key quickly put out a fresh fruit plate, raised the floor next to the seat under An Lan's body, and spread a thick mattress to make her more comfortable.

The carriage passed the ferry to the opposite bank, and Ou Mufeng left in no hurry.Entering Bashu right now is the territory of Qingcheng and Emei.At this time, the morning has passed, and there are no pedestrians on the road.It's just that people who walk come and go in a hurry, and those who ride horses don't stop.Looking at the passers-by, most of them are escort cars and practicing martial arts.

An Lan fell asleep and felt much better.Open the bamboo curtain of the car window and see the crisp bamboo forest on both sides of the pipe.There are high mountains on the way up, and there is the sound of horse bells in front of the winding road.As soon as I heard it, I knew that the caravan was walking.

She climbed to the seat opposite, opened the curtain and looked at Ou Mufeng who was driving beside the carriage: "There is a caravan ahead, don't worry. When they rest, we will also rest."

"Okay!" Ou Mufeng nodded. Although he was impatient, he knew that the road was just such a big one.It would be fast if you walked on a path, but if the horse couldn't wear it, maybe you might encounter something else.It would be better to follow the official path honestly.The caravan is not walking fast, and he can only do so in front.

An Lan crawled back, took out a tomato from the plate and handed it to Ou Mufeng: "Eat a tomato!"

Ou Mufeng didn't know this at first, and curiously ate one on the boat, thinking that the sweet and sour taste was suitable for women.He shook his head: "Is there any cucumber?"

"Yes!" An Lan went back and took a juicy cucumber and handed it to him.Ou Mufeng was not polite either, he took the cucumber and ate it bit by bit.An Lan opened the curtain to face the blowing wind and gnawed on the tomatoes. From his vision, he could see the horse tails of the guards behind the caravan riding horses. The cool breeze in the mountains was very good, so the horses walked very briskly.

An Lan looked up at the sky, looked at the shadows of the trees to confirm the time, and pushed the backrest upside down with a mechanism.At this time, she was wearing a simple chest-length skirt, a thin lake-green top with cross-collar, and a white inner skirt with lake-green gauze outside.Ou Mufeng was surprised by her appearance, An Lan picked up a small dagger from the fruit bowl and skewered it out: "I'll get some lunch, you follow the caravan and I'll catch up later."

Ou Mufeng wanted to say to go by himself, but seeing her flying away figure, he could only continue to pull the reins to drive the horses to keep up with the team in front.
