Several people walked along the bamboo forest path, the wooden bridge over the stream, and then the plum blossom and red forest, and finally arrived at the entrance of a compound.
There is no door to the courtyard, so you can go straight inside.
There is a small courtyard in front of the door, and a waist-thick ancient banyan tree in the middle of the plum forest provides shade.
A large stone stands on one side of the ancient banyan tree, with the word "Kumho" engraved on it.
It goes without saying that the place circled by the red wall in front of us is Jinhu Villa.
Jinzi followed Uncle Qian and Jing Zhaoyue all the way around, and they became very familiar with each other. Jing Zhaoyue usually didn't like to joke, and had a light-tempered temperament, so she rarely joked with them. Lao Qiantou was different, he talked a lot and liked to play with the little girl, so Gui Zi and Lao Qiantou kept bickering.
But when they got here, there were two unfamiliar people beside them. Gui Zi didn't dare to say anything, so she had to follow Old Uncle Qian obediently.
Arriving in front of the Jinhu Villa, Concubine looked inside. At a glance, she saw a calm lake surrounded by a red wall. Inside, there were many pavilions and pavilions, some buildings facing the lake, and some rockeries standing on the shore. Or there are gardens everywhere. Inside, the plantains are green and the peonies are red. It is indeed a good place. What Uncle Qian said about a wealthy family is indeed true.
Jin Zi staggered and looked inside. Old Qiantou rubbed her head and muttered: "What are you looking at? We are home. I told you that our family is a wealthy family. If you don't believe it, you are looking stupid now." Alright."
Hearing this, Jinzi frowned slightly, rolled his eyes, and then curled his lips without saying anything. .
Jing Zhaoyue looked at the well-organized, clean and refreshing courtyard, and smiled slightly, "Thanks to Aunt Li for taking care of the villa."
Before Li Cuihua could speak, Lao Qiantou replied on her behalf: "Master, are you too polite? Let's go back to Zhuangzi as soon as possible so that Cuihua can have a good meal and drink, and she can take care of us." "
Jing Zhaoyue nodded and replied, "Let's go."
Li Cuihua glared at Lao Qiantou, cursed, "It's such a bad habit, and it hasn't changed at all." Then she followed the others into the villa.
Old Qiantou looked at Jinzi's restraint and simply pushed Jinzi's back and rubbed it in front of his daughter. He said to Qian Duoduo: "Duoduo, this girl will be your sister from now on. Go play with her, father and mother." Let’s go to the auditorium with the young master to talk about something first.”
Qian Duoduo looked at the addition of such a sister with bright and clear eyes, with a look of joy on his face. He happily took Kui Zi's hand and walked to the lake. As he walked, he smiled and said: "Sister Kui Zi, my name is Qian Duoduo. , just call me Sister Duoduo from now on, let’s go, I’ll take you to visit the villa, and take you to find a good house by the way, which will be your residence from now on.”
Jin Zi then replied calmly: "Thank you, sister Duoduo."
After the two little girls ran away, the old man urged his daughter-in-law Li Cuihua to cook, shouting: "I'm hungry, I don't know what to eat tonight?"
Li Cuihua frowned, touched Lao Qiantou's ears, and scolded: "You said that you have been with the young master for the New Year, and your bad habits have not changed at all? When will you learn from the young master's quiet temperament? I will The incense has been burnt, it looks more pleasing to your eyes!"
"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, let go, okay, okay, I'll learn, learn! You go to the dining hall to cook first, and the young master and I will find a place to drink tea. Call us when the meal is ready." Old Qiantou muttered.
Hearing this, Li Cuihua loosened her hand and replied: "Okay, I know how to cook." Then she looked at Jing Zhaoyue with a serious face and replied: "Master, you really need to go to the auditorium. A few days ago A carrier pigeon came down from Rishan Mountain, and I read the letter on his foot, and I was worried that if you don't come back this month, and if the things on the mountain are not settled, I don't know what to do."
When Jing Zhaoyue heard this, he frowned slightly. The pigeon was the last emergency he left for Qiguan. He once told him that if something happened on the mountain and he couldn't handle it well, he would release the pigeon and he would figure it out. Go to support.
Now that Qiguan has released pigeons from the mountain, something big must have happened within the sect.
Jing Zhaoyue nodded, turned around and went to the auditorium without saying much.
"Something happened on the mountain? They actually used homing pigeons! What happened?" Lao Qiantou looked at Li Cuihua and asked.
Li Cuihua replied: "
You will know if you follow the young master and read the letter. "
Old Qiantou had a shaky look on his face. He tilted his neck and leaned towards Li Cuihua and said, "Don't I miss you? Look, the young master knows how to leave time for me. Why should I follow you? Let's go. You Cook, I'll help you light the fire, and you can tell me the contents of the letter."
Li Cuihua pushed the old money man who was leaning over a few times and muttered: "Stay away from me!"
On the contrary, Lao Qiantou shamelessly came closer, then raised his hand and said to Li Cuihua with a proud look on his face: "Here, hold your arm!"
Li Cuihua's face suddenly turned red, she curled her lips and cursed: "You shameless thing, get out, get out, get out."
He was scolding Lao Qiantou like that, but he still stretched his left hand under Lao Qiantou's raised right hand, tightly holding Lao Qiantou's hand, and nestled his head on his shoulder. Went to the dining hall...
Jing Zhaoyue came to the auditorium alone.
He passed by a small Bagua courtyard paved with black and white cobblestones, and then opened the door of the auditorium. There were many fat pigeons in the hall. He walked straight through the pigeons, startling many pigeons, and walked to the main hall of the auditorium. , push the door and enter the house.
There is a statue of Master Kong on the front wall of the house. There are some fruits in front of the statue. There is an incense cauldron in the middle, and there are three incense sticks that have just been burned. I think Aunt Li often cleans and offers incense here.
Right in front of the incense burner, there is another sandalwood box without a lid. Inside is a small round bamboo tube and a red rope. It is obviously the bamboo tube on the feet of the homing pigeon. The letter from the mountain that Aunt Li mentioned is in Inside.
Jing Zhaoyue slowly took out the roll of parchment and unfolded it to see what was written on it:
"There has been a change in the portal and it needs to be dealt with urgently. If there is no letter by the end of the month, please ask the mountain master to come in person."
Jing Zhaoyue frowned, Qiguan was the master of the Zhishou Hall whom he personally appointed. He liked him because he had a righteous heart, so he entrusted the rules of the religion to him, and everyone in the religion was subject to him. If If he can't be restrained by his rules, something has happened. He gave several pigeons to Qiguan in total, but there was only one letter in the box. Aunt Li said that this letter was only sent a few days ago. I think the civil strife in the sect only started this month, so he came back this time. It's just time.
When he and Lao Qiantou went out for a trip, they told the sect that they would come back after the trip, but now it has been six years and more than three months. If anyone in the sect had a different intention, it would be this time.
Then he would calm down and adjust his breathing at Jinhu Villa for a month, waiting for something to happen on the mountain. He wanted to find out who had the ulterior motives, and take this opportunity to eliminate the Xuantian Sect.
For a while after that, Jing Zhaoyue and Lao Qiantou stayed at Jinhu Villa, either teaching the two little girls their skills, flying kites, or going fishing in the lake...not to mention.
Besides, on March 11th, Xiaoyu and his party had already stayed in Daojiazhai for one night, and this was the second day.
On March 10th, everyone got to know each other and reminisced about old times, and became familiar with each other. In the evening, they had enough wine and food, and the feeling of reunion was over. Everyone got drunk and slept very peacefully.
On March 11th, everyone was still drunk and slept in early. It was not until after lunch that all of them in charge met at the Daojiazhai Council Hall to discuss major matters against the Demon Sect.
