Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 288: Everything is Windy and Rhythmic
Master Feng of Longrui Palace was greatly surprised when he heard what the Taoist said.

Nobleman? Who is worthy of being called a nobleman by this real person?
Taoism has thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed places, and Longrui Palace is the only place that combines caves and blessed places in one place.

Among them, Yangming Cave is the tenth Taoist paradise, and Ruoye Creek is the seventeenth Taoist paradise.

The Yangming here has nothing to do with Mr. Yangming. In Taoist terminology, it refers to the Eastern Green Emperor, that is, the sun god.

Master Feng was able to practice here and become the master of the temple. One can imagine how high his status was. It is not an exaggeration to call him an old immortal.

But the Taoist priest sitting opposite him, who looked even younger than him, was someone he had seen when he was a teenager. He looked like this back then.

Master Feng's master once told him that when he was young, he had accompanied the master and met Taoist Chen.

At that time, Taoist Chen already looked like he does today, and no one really knew how old he was.

Master Feng knew that this senior must be a great master, so he showed him great respect.

In his mind, this old Taoist priest might have already reached the level of a terrestrial immortal.

Even Master Feng became curious about how this immortal on earth could call him "honorable man" and condescend to wait for him just to see him.

However, his wish to see the truth was ultimately not fulfilled.

Taoist Master Chen suddenly smiled and said, "He will be here soon, Master Feng, you can go back now."

Master Feng was helpless, but he did not dare to disobey the Taoist priest, so he stood up and bowed to Taoist Chen, saying respectfully, "Junior will take his leave."

At this time, it was dusk, red clouds filled the sky, and the earth was crimson.

A merchant ship slowly moored at the dock.

The merchant ship that Dan Niang and Qing Tang were on had already docked before Yang Yuan, and Uncle Gou called a car to take them to the city first.

This merchant ship was the one Yang Yuan was on.

The boat docked, and Yang Yuan took Emmanuelle Belle and Wen Tian ashore.

The Wang family steward chuckled and said, "My son Shuisheng will lead the way into the city for the Second Young Master. Don't worry about the cargo on the boat. I will take care of it."

"Thank you!" Yang Yuan nodded and walked towards the dock, with Emmanuelle Belle and Wen Tian following him on his left and right.

The steward's son, Shuisheng, was about fourteen or fifteen years old, already a grown-up boy, and he led the way diligently.

Taoist Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Yang Yuan, who was covered with a shoulder of rosy clouds, and stroked his beard happily, saying: "So he was born like this, haha.

The Big Dipper moves south, and the stinging dragon does not sting. The big dream is reincarnated, and the two countries are founded. Good! "

Taoist Chen suddenly pulled out a bamboo flute from his sleeve. The flute was so old that it had a slightly purple-red color.

The old Taoist held the flute to his lips, playing a song "Chao Tianzi", and walked towards Yang Yuan.

"Chao Tianzi" was originally the name of a court music piece in the Tang Dynasty, also known as "Ye Jinmen". The tune is cheerful yet solemn.

If you just play it with a flute, it will only have a joyful meaning.

The old Taoist played the flute so leisurely that he forgot himself and walked forward without any intention of avoiding the side of the road.

Shuisheng raised his eyebrows immediately when he saw this: "Hey! You old bastard..."

"No rudeness!"

When Yang Yuan saw that the old Taoist had white hair and beard, and was at least seventy years old, he pressed Shuisheng's shoulder and took the initiative to move to the yellow mud ground beside the bluestone road.

The old Taoist was playing the flute, and when he was about to pass by Yang Yuan, he paused slightly.

He continued to play the flute and just nodded to Yang Yuan with a smile.

Yang Yuan bowed slightly in return, and the old Taoist then played his flute and walked towards the dock. The river breeze blew up his sleeves, making him look like a god.

Yang Yuan glanced at his back, then looked away and continued walking forward. He did not take this little episode to heart.

Shanyin is the seat of Shaoxing Prefecture.

Now the reign title of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is Shaoxing.

In the fourth year of Jianyan, Zhao Gou stayed in Yuezhou, and changed the era name to Shaoxing from the first month of the fifth year of Jianyan, which means "to inherit the great prosperity of the generations and to start the great cause of the hundred years".
Yuezhou was also renamed Shaoxing Prefecture, which had jurisdiction over eight counties: Shanyin, Kuaiji, Zhuji, Xiaoshan, Yuyao, Shangyu, Shengxian, and Xinchang, with the prefectural seat located in Shanyin.

The Shanyin Weir limits the rivers and the ferry is used for transporting grains. Ships sail from Ou to Fujian, from Yin to Wu, with thousands of vessels sailing with oars and sails.

With this golden waterway connecting Haida River, the city is naturally prosperous.

It was already late at night, so it was not a good idea to visit Lu You, so Yang Yuan went to the most prosperous "Qijiantang" inn in the city.

Yang Yuan was afraid that it was too late and unsafe, so he rewarded Shuisheng with a dozen coins and sent him back to the dock quickly.

Wen Tian quickly got into character and said attentively, "Master, please take a seat. Madam Bei'er, please take a seat. I will go and check you in."

Wentian happily ran to the counter to check in.

Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, common people have to carry a "Guosuo" when going out, which is equivalent to proof of identity when going out.

However, it was called "public verification" in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the common people had to apply for identity proof from the government in their place of residence before going out.

Yang Yuan naturally got the "public verification" which was all fake but also true.

A moment later, Wentian came back with the key. As he walked back, he turned his head and shouted at the shop owner.

"Our young master will go to eat first. Please remember to bring hot water into the room later for our young master and his wife to bathe."

Wen Tian came to Yang Yuan and bowed, "Master, Madam Bei'er, please come this way."

Yang Yuan and Bei'er stood up and followed Wen Tian to the back. Wen Tian wanted to lead the way himself, and the store owner was happy to save trouble, so he didn't ask the waiter to lead the way.

The room numbers of this inn have some very elegant names, such as "Bamboo Forest", "Fishing Boat", "Mountains and Waters", "Dream Back", "Drunk Moon"...

So it was not as easy to find as the more common "天玄黄". Wen Tian looked around and suddenly saw the words "听涛". He was overjoyed and said, "I've got it, I've got it, it's right here."

Wentian stepped forward, opened the lock attentively, handed the key to Bei'er with both hands, and bowed his head and said:
"The young master and Miss Bei'er live in 'Ting Tao'. The small room is on the left side just after entering the courtyard, that is 'Tu Mian'. If the young master has any instructions, just let him know."

"Tu Mian"? "Tu Mian" and "Ting Tao" are about eight feet apart!
Wen Tian was ready to seize this rare opportunity to accompany the head chef on a business trip to gain his appreciation, so naturally he tried every means to please him.

Yang Yuan walked into the room and looked around.

This first-class inn and its first-class guest rooms are indeed extremely elegant.

The first thing you see when you enter is an elegant living room.

Further inside, between the living room and the bedroom, there is a servant's room.

This is where the maids sleep when the master has slaves with him. Going further inside, there is a spacious and luxurious bedroom.

At first, when she saw that Wen Tian only booked one room for her and Yang Yuan, Emmanuelle Belle instinctively wanted to ask, but then she thought, she came here to play the role of Yang Yuan's concubine, so could he book a separate room for her?

As expected, wild grass is where accidents are most likely to happen, and she is now in the wild grass.

When she saw there was a servant room besides the master bedroom, Emmanuelle Belle felt relieved and a slight smile appeared on her angelic face. But after taking a closer look at the servant room, she couldn't help but feel worried again.

This is a resting place for the maid to get up at any time and serve the master's daily life. It is just a space for a bed, with no door or curtain.

If she stayed here, once Yang Yuan came in and out...

Wouldn't she have to be on guard against accidents the whole night and not be able to sleep well?
Yang Yuan tapped on the master bedroom door, turned his head to look at Emmanuelle Belle's slightly embarrassed expression, smiled knowingly and said, "You can stay in the inner room, and help me spread the bedding in the outer room every night."

"Ah, but, Guan... the Second Young Master is the master..."

"So you sleep outside?"

Emmanuelle Belle was suddenly choked. This Yang Yuan was really not a gentleman at all.

Yang Yuan laughed and said, "So, don't be so polite. Go ahead. The inner room is yours."

"Then...thank you, Second Young Master."

Emmanuel didn't dare to be polite anymore and went into the inner room with his bag.

She first quietly closed the door and bolted it, then looked around the house.

It is luxurious as expected. Although not as gorgeous as the big bed in "Nianhua Cottage", when you are away from home, such an environment can make people feel as comfortable as at home.

She put down her bag comfortably, and lay down on the couch, testing its comfort level, and thought happily: "Yang Yuan is still very gentlemanly.

It seems that I have some prejudice against him. No, to be precise, it is because of the various experiences since I was captured that I have to be prejudiced against men. "

She took out the memo, picked up the pencil inside, turned over and lay down on the couch, and began to write down with great interest:

"After sailing for most of the day, we arrived in San'in in the evening and checked into an inn called 'Qijiantang'.

The room Yang Yuan and I share is called 'Ting Tao'. I live in the master bedroom. Yang Yuan is a gentleman and he respects ladies very much..."

"Let's go, let's go eat something first, and then we can come back and put things away."

"Oh, here it comes!"

Emmanuelle Belle quickly clamped her pencil, put away the memo, jumped off the couch, simply tidied her long golden hair, and happily walked to open the door.

……

The door opened, and when Mother Liu saw Leng Yuchan standing outside, she immediately smiled and said, "Oh, Miss Leng is here, our Miss Xue..."

When she looked around, she saw Xue Bingxin standing next to Leng Yuchan, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Oh! Baby face, crescent eyes, and a naturally sweet aura.

A slightly plump figure best suits the aesthetic taste of old ladies like them. It's feminine, can withstand the test, and is easy to give birth to a big fat boy. Oh, it's really perfect.

Mother Liu quickly made way and said, "The two girls, please come in. Mr. Wang, come on, Miss Xue is here."

Mr. Wang was wondering, he had told his son to come and help him choose a wife, so why was he not here yet?
This brat, ever since he became an official, it's not easy to hit him with the soles of shoes. This is a bit outrageous!

Just as he was mumbling, he heard Mother Liu say that Miss Xue had arrived.

Wang Yuanwai quickly pulled himself together and came over with a big smile on his face: "Aha, Miss Xue..."

Before Mr. Wang could finish his bow, he froze there.

He froze, the smile on his face also froze, he just stared at the girl who walked in: "She is actually... so pretty, Madam Liu is not lying to me!"

At that moment, Wang Yuanwai recalled his favorite song in the tile house: "The phoenix pastry is not evenly matched, and the beauty is charming and pretty. The red is engraved with jade marks, and the warmth is embedded with peanuts. The powder fragrance in the whirlpool is all spring..."

Oh my, look at this girl, she is so tall, like a willow swaying in the wind, she is a head taller than me, Wang Lian!
Look at her dimples, they are really full of spring fragrance, my heart is intoxicated. I fell in love with her at first sight!"

Mother Liu pulled the confused Leng Yuchan aside with a mixture of anger and amusement, and said to Mr. Wang, "Mr. Wang, this is Miss Xue."

Only then did Wang Lian realize that there was actually a girl standing behind the beautiful girl with dimples.

Seeing this, Wang Yuanwai's eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't help but think of his favorite song in the tile house:
"The spring is here, the flowers are here, the willows are here. Everything is here. Oh, my heart is already drunk, I've fallen in love at first sight again!"
