Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Drunk from now on
The boat turned around a row of weeping willows, and from a distance, I saw a cluster of flowers and trees by the water, reflecting the water and turning red, as bright as clouds.Duan Yu let out a low "ah".
A'Zhu said: "What's the matter?" Duan Yu pointed to the flower tree and said: "This is our camellia in Dali, why is there such a Yunnan tea planted in Taihu Lake?" The camellias produced in Yunnan are the most famous , known as "Dian tea" in the world.A'Zhu said: "Really? This village is called Manduo Mountain Villa, and it is full of camellias." Duan Yu thought: "Camellia is also called Yuming, and another name is Datura flower. This village is made of Manduo name, but to see what kind of name it has.”
A'Zhu pulled the wooden oar, and the boat sailed straight towards the camellia tree. When it reached the shore, as far as the eye could see, there were red and white camellias, but no houses.Duan Yu grew up in Dali, and camellias are commonplace, so he didn't think anything different, thinking: "Although there are many camellias here, it seems that there are no good varieties. I think the real famous species must be planted in the village."
A'Zhu leaned the boat to the shore, and said with a smile: "Master Duan, let's go in for a while, and then we'll come out immediately." Holding Abi's hand, he was about to jump ashore when suddenly he heard footsteps in the flower forest, and a person in Tsing Yi walked out. Here comes the maid.
The little servant girl was holding a bouquet of flowers and plants in her hand. When she saw A'Zhu and A'Bi, she ran towards them quickly, her face was full of joy, and said: "A'Zhu, A'Bi, you are so brave to steal here again. Come. Madam said: 'The faces of the two little girls were crossed with a knife, breaking their beautiful appearance.'"
A Zhu smiled and said: "Sister You Cao, isn't your uncle and wife at home?" The little girl You Cao glanced at Duan Yu twice, then turned to A Zhu and A Bi and said with a smile: "Madam also said: 'Two little hoofs And brought a strange man to Mantuo Mountain Villa, and cut off both of his legs!'" Before she finished speaking, she pursed her lips and started laughing.
Abi patted her heart and said: "Sister Youcao, don't be scary! Is it true or not?"
A'Zhu laughed and said: "Abi, don't scare me, if my uncle and wife are at home, does this girl dare to smile like this? Sister Youcao, where is your uncle and wife?" Youcao said with a smile: "Bah! How old are you? Are you worthy of being my elder sister? You little elf, unexpectedly guessed that Madam is not at home." Sighing lightly, he said, "You two sisters, Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, it took so long for you to come here, I really want to keep you Stay for a day or two. But..." He shook his head while speaking.Abi said: "Why don't I want to be with you for a while longer? Sister Youcao, when will you come to our village, I will accompany you for three days and three nights without sleepiness, good?" The two girls said and jumped ashore. .Abi whispered a few words in Youcao's ear.You Cao sneered and glanced at Duan Yu.Abi blushed immediately.Youcao held A'Zhu with one hand and Abi with the other, and said with a smile, "Go into the house." Abi turned her head and said, "Master Duan, please wait here for a while, we will come as soon as we go."
Duan Yu said: "Okay!" He watched the three maids walk into the flower forest, holding hands.
He walked ashore, seeing no one around, he relieved himself behind a big tree.After sitting by the boat for a while, I became bored, and thought: "Let's go and see what kind of datura flowers are here?" Walking around to watch, there are no other flowers in the flower forest except camellias, even the most common ones. There are no morning glory, moon red, rose and so on.But the camellias planted are all mediocre, and the only advantage is the word "many".After walking tens of feet, I saw that there were more and more varieties of camellias. Occasionally, there were one or two books that were not bad, but they could not be planted properly. Spoiled."
He thought again: "I have to go back, A'Zhu and A'Bi will not see me when they come back, I'm afraid I'm anxious." Turning around and taking a few steps, he yelled secretly: "Oops!" I only paid attention to the camellias, and forgot to remember the path. I saw a path to the east and a path to the west, and I didn’t know which one was the way. It was a bit difficult to get back to the mooring of the boat, so I thought: “Go to the water’s edge first.”
But the more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong, he had never seen camellia before, he was secretly worried, when suddenly he heard someone talking in the forest on the left, it was Ah Zhu's voice.Duan Yu was overjoyed and thought: "I'll wait for them here for a while, and when they finish talking, we can go back together."
I only heard Ah Zhu say: "Young master is in good health and has a good appetite. In the past two months, he has been practicing the 'dog-beating-stick' technique of the beggars' gang. Presumably he wants to compete with the members of the beggars' gang." Duan Yu thought to himself: "A'Zhu is talking about Mr. Murong, I shouldn't eavesdrop on what other people are saying, I should go far away. But I can't go too far, otherwise I won't know what they are saying. "
At this moment, only a soft sigh was heard from a woman's voice.
In an instant, Duan Yu couldn't help shaking his whole body, his heart was pounding, thinking: "This sigh is so beautiful, how can there be such a sound in the world?" Only the voice asked softly: "His sigh is so beautiful. The next time you go out, where are you going?" Hearing a sigh, Duan Yu's heart was already shaken, and when he heard these two words, his blood was boiling all over his body, his heart was sore and bitter, and he was filled with indescribable envy and jealousy: " She is obviously asking Mr. Murong. She cares about Mr. Murong so much, and holds it in her heart so much. Mr. Murong, how lucky are you to be blessed?"
I only heard A Zhu say: "When the young master went out, he said that he was going to Luoyang to meet the best fighters in the beggar gang. Brother Deng went with the young master. Don't worry, girl."
The woman said leisurely: "The two magical skills of the Beggar Clan's 'Dog Beating Stick Technique' and 'Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms' are the secrets of the Beggar Clan. Your 'Returning Water Pavilion' and my family's 'Langhuan Jade Cave' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''', '' and by '''''''''''''''''' v v. ''.
A'Zhu said: "Young master said, since the mental method of 'beating a dog with a stick' was created by man, why can't he think of it? With the stick method, it is not difficult to think of it and add it."
Duan Yu thought to himself: "Young Master Murong's words are reasonable, I think he is both smart and ambitious."
But the woman sighed softly again and said: "Even if it can be created, I'm afraid it won't be ten or eight years. How can it be done overnight? Have you seen the young master practicing the stick technique?" Is there any embarrassment and suffocation?" A'Zhu said: "My lord's stick method is very fast, from the beginning to the end, it is like flowing clouds and flowing water..." The woman whispered "ah", and said: "No Good! He... he really did it very quickly?" A'Zhu said: "Yes, what's wrong?" The woman said: "Of course it's not right. Although I don't know the mental method of dog beating stick method, but from the stick method It seems that some roads must be as slow as possible, but there are some roads that are fast and slow, fast and slow, and slow and fast. Helping the middle masters get started, I'm afraid...I'm afraid...you...is there a way to bring a letter to the young master?"
A'Zhu gave a "hmm" and said: "We don't know where the young master is staying, and we don't know if he has met with the elders of the beggar gang at this time? Before leaving, the young master said that the beggar gang wronged him and killed him." After the death of their Vice-Clan Leader Ma, he went to Luoyang to discuss the matter, not to fight with the members of the Beggar Clan, otherwise, he and Brother Deng would be two heroes after all. I'm afraid I can't understand, the words between the two sides are out of harmony..."
Abi asked: "Girl, this dog-beating-stick method is fast, is it really wrong?" The woman said: "Of course it's wrong, what else can I say? Why didn't he... Come see me?" He stamped his feet lightly as he spoke, appearing irritable and concerned, but his voice was still soft and sweet.
Duan Yu was very surprised when he heard this, and thought: "When I was in Dali, I heard people talk about 'Gusu Murong', and I respected and feared them all. But from this girl, it seems that Mr. Murong's martial arts still needs to be taught by her." Give me some pointers. Could it be that such a young woman has such a great ability?" She was lost in thought for a while, and suddenly her head hit a branch, and she couldn't help but "ah", and hurriedly covered her mouth, but it was too late.
The woman asked, "Who is it?"
Duan Yu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he coughed and said from behind the bushes: "Duan Yu next time, I will watch the jade tea in Guizhuang, trespass here, beg for forgiveness."
The woman said in a low voice: "Ah Zhu, is that the gentleman who came with you?" A'Zhu hurriedly said: "Yes. Miss, don't bother with him, we will go now." The woman said: "Wait a minute , I want to write a letter to explain to him clearly that if you have to fight with the beggars, don't use the dog-beating stick method, just use the original martial arts. You can't "do the same thing as the other, and return it to the other body." , that can’t be helped. You take it and try to give it to him.” A’Zhu hesitated and said: “This...uncle and wife once said..."
The woman said: "What? Do you only listen to Madam's words and not mine?" There seemed to be a little anger in her words.A'Zhu hurriedly said: "Young lady, as long as you don't let your uncle or wife know, the servant girl will naturally obey. Besides, it will be beneficial to you." The woman said: "Follow me to the study to get the letter." A'Zhu was still hesitant, reluctantly Reluctantly replied: "Yes!"
Since Duan Yu heard the woman's sigh, the more he listened to it, the more fascinated he became. Hearing it, she wanted to leave. After this time, he was afraid that he would never be able to see her again. If you don't mind, you should see her, and immediately mustered up the courage to say: "Sister Abi, can you stay with me here, is it okay?" He said and stepped out from behind the bushes.
When the woman heard him coming out, she gave a startled grunt and turned her back.
As soon as Duan Yu turned around the bushes, he saw a girl in a lotus-colored gauze shirt, facing towards the flower tree, with a slender figure and long hair hanging down her vest, tied gently with a silver ribbon.Looking at her back, Duan Yu felt that there seemed to be a haze around the girl, she was really not a person in the world, so he bowed deeply and said: "Next, Duan Yu, see the girl."
The woman paused on the ground with her left foot, and said angrily: "Ah Zhu, Abi, it's all your fault, I don't see any irrelevant men outside." As she spoke, she walked forward, after a few turns, her figure was in the camellia bush Zhong Ranran disappeared.
Abi smiled slightly, and said to Duan Yu: "Young Master Duan, this girl has a really big temper, let's go quickly." A Zhu also smiled lightly and said: "Thanks to Young Master Duan for coming to rescue, otherwise Miss Wang insisted that we deliver the letter No way, my sister's two little lives are in a bit of danger."
Duan Yu came out recklessly, was said a few words by the woman, he was really bored, he only thought that A'Zhu and A'Bi must complain, unexpectedly she two felt grateful, not what he expected, It's just that although the woman is far away, it seems that the beautiful image is still in front of her eyes, and she feels melancholy, staring blankly at the flower bush where her back is hidden.
Abi gently tugged at his sleeve, Duan Yu didn't notice it.A'Zhu laughed and said: "Young Master Duan, let's go!" Duan Yu jumped up all over his body, and he said, "Yes, yes. Are we really going?" Seeing that A'Zhu and A'bi were going first, he had to follow Behind, step by step and look back, reluctant to part.
The three of them went back into the boat together.A'Zhu and Abitu paddled out.Duan Yu stared at the camellias on the shore, and thought: "If I, Duan Yu, are not blessed, why did I hear this girl's sighs and words? And let me see her fairy-like figure? If I am blessed, Why can't I even see her side?" Seeing the camellia bushes drifting away, I feel sad.
All of a sudden, A'Zhu exclaimed "Ah", and said, "Uncle Madam... Uncle Madam is back." Duan Yu turned his head and saw a fast boat approaching like flying on the lake, and it was near in the blink of an eye.The bow of the clipper boat is colorfully painted with flowers, and when you get closer, you can see that they are also camellias.A'Zhu and A'bi stood up, bowed their heads and lowered their eyebrows, with an extremely respectful expression.Abi gestured to Duan Yulian, asking him to stand up too.Duan Yu shook his head with a smile, and said: "When the master leaves the cabin to speak, I will get up. A man, don't be too humble." Only a woman's voice in the fast boat shouted: "Which man dares to come to Mantuo Villa without permission? Don't you hear that any man who comes without invitation will have his feet cut off?" The voice was very majestic, but Quite crisp and pleasant to hear.Duan Yu said loudly: "Next Duan Yu, he took refuge in Baozhuang and did not trespass on purpose. Thank you very much." The woman said, "Your surname is Duan?" There was a hint of surprise in her voice.Duan Yu said: "Exactly!" The woman said: "Hmph, A'Zhu and A'bi, it's you two little hoofs! This kid Murong Fu just doesn't learn well, he only does evil things secretly." A'Zhu said: "Report to Uncle and Madam, servant girl My son was being chased by the enemy and passed by Mantuo Mountain Villa. My son has gone out, and this matter has absolutely nothing to do with my son." The woman in the cabin sneered: "Hmph, sweet words. Don't leave so soon, come with me. "A'Zhu and A'bi responded in unison: "Yes." They rowed the boat and followed the fast boat.At that time, it was not far from Mantuo Mountain Villa, and the two ships docked one after another in a short while. Hearing Huan Pei ding dong, many women in Tsing Yi came out of the fast boat in pairs. They were all dressed as maidservants, each holding a long sword in his hand. In an instant, the blade was as white as frost.Eighteen women lined up in two rows, holding swords at their waists and pointing upwards. After standing still, a woman came out of the boat. When Duan Yu saw the woman's appearance, he couldn't help but let out an "Ah" in surprise, he was tongue-tied, as if he was in a dream, it turned out that the woman was wearing a goose-yellow silk shirt, and the decorations on her clothes looked like those of the cave in Wuliang Mountain in Dali jade statue.But this woman is a middle-aged beauty, not more than forty years old, but the jade statue in the cave is a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.Duan Yu was startled, when he looked at the appearance of that beautiful woman again, he saw that she was compared to the jade statue in the cave, her facial features, mouth, nose and nose were not so glamorous, although her age was different, her face also had traces of years of hardship , but there are five or six points similar to each other.A'Zhu and A'bi saw him staring at Mrs. Wang intently, it was extremely rude, they even complained about the price of pearls in their hearts, and even gestured to tell him not to look, but Duan Yu's eyes were fixed on Mrs. Wang's face . The woman squinted at him and said coldly: "This man is so rude, I will cut off his feet first, then goug out his eyes, and cut off his tongue." A maid bowed and replied: "Yes! " Duan Yu's heart sank: "If you really kill me, that's nothing more than that. But if you want to chop off my feet, goug out my eyes, cut off my tongue, and make me dead or alive, this crime is unbearable. I'm getting older." He didn't really feel fear until now, he turned his head and glanced at A'Zhu and A'bi, only to see that their faces were ashen and stupefied. After Mrs. Wang got ashore, two maidservants in green clothes walked out of the cabin, holding an iron chain in each hand, and dragged two men out of the cabin.Both of them had their hands tied behind their backs, and their heads were downcast.One has a handsome face, he seems to be a son of a wealthy family, the other Duan Yu unexpectedly recognized him as a disciple of the Wuliang Sword Sect, I remember his name is Tang Guangxiong.Duan Yu was amazed: "This person was originally in Dali, how did Mrs. Wang get him to the south of the Yangtze River?" Mrs. Wang said to Tang Guangxiong: "You are obviously from Dali, how can you deny it?" Tang Guangxiong said, "I am from Yunnan, and my hometown is in the Song Dynasty, not Dali." How far is your hometown from Dali Kingdom?" Tang Guangxiong said: "More than four hundred miles." Mrs. Wang said: "If it is less than five hundred miles away, you can be considered as a Dali native. Go and bury it alive under the mandala flowers and use it as fertilizer." Tang Guangxiong shouted: "What did I do? Tell me clearly, otherwise I will die with peace." Mrs. Wang sneered and said: "As long as you are from Dali, or someone with the surname Duan, you will be buried alive if you hit me. What are you doing here in Suzhou? Now that you’ve come to Suzhou, why are you still talking with a Dali accent and yelling loudly in restaurants? Although you’re not from Dali, but you’re close to Dali, you can handle it normally.” Duan Yu said in his heart: "Aha, you are obviously coming after me. I don't need you to ask, just admit it directly." He said loudly: "I am a native of Dali, and my surname is Duan. You want to be buried alive. Get started early." Mrs. Wang said coldly: "You have already signed up, claiming to be Duan Yu, hmph, it is not so easy for the Duan family in Dali to die." With a wave of her hand, a maid pulled Tang Guangxiong away.Tang Guangxiong didn't know whether his acupuncture points were tapped or he was seriously injured, so he had no strength to defend himself, he just yelled: "There are no such rules in the world, Dali has millions of people, can you kill them all?" But seeing him being pulled Entering the flower forest, the voice gradually faded away. Mrs. Wang turned her head slightly, and said to the handsome man: "What do you say?" The man suddenly bent his knees, fell to his knees, and begged: "My father is an official in Beijing, and I am the only son under my knees. But please spare my life. If Madam has any orders, my father will definitely agree." Madam Wang said coldly: "Your father is a high official in the court, don't I know? It's not difficult to spare your life, you go back today Immediately kill the wife of Jiefa at home, and tomorrow you marry the Miao girl you met privately outside, and you have to have three letters and six ceremonies, everything is available. Is it possible?" The young master said: "This... to kill my wife, really Can't do it. Ming Media is marrying Miss Miao, and my parents will never agree. This is not me..." Mrs. Wang said: "Take him to bury him alive!" The maid who led him replied: "Yes!" The chain will go.The young master trembled with fright, and said: "I... I promise." Mrs. Wang said: "Xiao Cui, you escort him back to Suzhou City, and watch him kill his wife and marry Miss Miao. I just came back." Xiaocui replied: "Yes!" Pulling the young master, she walked to a small boat moored on the shore. The young master begged: "Madam, please be kind. Zhuojing has no grudges against you, and you don't know Miss Miao. Why do you help her like this and force me to kill my wife and marry another? I... I never knew you, I never... ...I never dared to offend you." Mrs. Wang said: "You already have a wife, so you shouldn't bother with other girls. Since you deceived her with sweet words, you must marry her. This kind of I don't care if I don't hear about it, as long as you let me know, of course it will be handled like this. This is not the first case of yours, what are you complaining about? Xiaocui, how many times do you think this is?" Xiaocui said: "The servant girl is here In Changshu, Danyang, Wuxi, Jiaxing and other places, a total of seven cases have been held, and Xiaolan and Xiaoshi have also done some." When the young master heard that this was the case, he only complained repeatedly.Xiaocui pulled the wooden oar and rowed the boat to go by herself. Duan Yu saw that Mrs. Wang's actions were extremely unreasonable, he couldn't help being stunned, completely dumbfounded, all he thought of was the words "how can this be so reasonable", before he knew it, he said in passing: "how can it be so reasonable, how can it be so reasonable! Mrs. Wang snorted and said, "There are more unreasonable things in the world." Duan Yu was disappointed and sad at the same time, that day when he saw the jade statue of the immortal sister in the cave of Wuliang Mountain, he felt so much admiration in his heart, the person in front of him was really similar in appearance to the jade statue, but his words and deeds were like ghosts and ghosts. He lowered his head in a daze, and saw four maidservants walking into the cabin and coming out with four pots of flowers.When Duan Yu saw it, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.The four pots are made of camellia, which is a rare and famous species.Dali is the most famous camellia in the world, and there are innumerable famous species in Zhennan Wangfu, and Dali is the most famous. Duan Yu has been used to seeing it since he was a child. If you are familiar with it, you know it without getting used to it, just like a farmer's son must distinguish between wheat and beans, and a fisherman's son must know fish and shrimp.He walked around the Mantuo Mountain Villa for a long time, but he didn't see any really great products. He felt that the word "Mantuo Mountain Villa" was a misnomer. Now when he saw these four pots of camellia, he nodded secretly, thinking: "This makes a little sense. " Mrs. Wang said: "Xiaocha, these four pots of 'full moon' camellias are not easy to come by and must be taken care of." The maid named Xiaocha replied: "Yes!" Also a layman, he sneered.Mrs. Wang said again: "The lake is very windy. These four pots of flowers have been placed in the cabin for a few days without seeing the sun. Put them in the sun and put more fertilizer on them." Xiaocha replied again: "Yes!" Duan Yu couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud. Mrs. Wang heard him laughing strangely, and asked: "What are you laughing at?" Duan Yu said: "I laugh at you because you don't understand camellia, but you want to grow camellia. Such a good product fell into your hands, it really is burning qin and cooking cranes, It's a shame. It's a pity, it's a pity, it makes people feel distressed." Mrs. Wang said angrily, "I don't understand camellia, so do you understand?" Suddenly she thought: "Wait a minute! He is Duan from Dali, maybe he is Duan. I really know camellia." But he said it stiffly: "The name of this village is Mandala Villa, and there are mandala flowers inside and outside the villa, how lush and gorgeous they are? How can you say I don't know camellia?" Duan Yu smiled. : "Mediocre fat and vulgar powder, naturally rough and long. These four pots of white tea are the color of the city. If you, a layman, can grow them well, I will not be named Duan." Mrs. Wang loves camellias very much, and spends a lot of money to buy good varieties everywhere. However, after transplanting to Mantuo Villa, none of the rare camellias can flourish. They often grow for a year or so before withering or dying.She was often troubled by this, and after hearing Duan Yu's words, she was not angry but happy, took two steps, and asked: "What's the difference between my four pots of white tea? How can I plant them well?" Duan Yu said: "You If you ask me for advice, you should have the etiquette to ask for advice. If you threaten to torture me, you will cut off my feet first, and it will not be too late to ask." Mrs. Wang said angrily: "What's the problem with cutting off your feet? Xiaoshi, go and cut off his left foot first." The maid named Xiaoshi agreed and stepped forward with her sword.Abi said urgently: "Uncle and Madam, don't come here. If you hurt my son, this person is so stubborn that he would rather die than say anything." Mrs. Wang originally intended to scare Duan Yu, and with a move of her left hand, the poem immediately stop. Duan Yu laughed and said: "You cut off my feet and bury them next to these four books of white tea. It's really good fertilizer. These white teas will grow bigger and bigger, maybe as big as a sea bowl, haha, beautiful, Wonderful, wonderful!" Mrs. Wang thought so in her heart, but hearing his tone was full of irony, she was speechless for a moment, startled for a while, and said: "What are you talking about? What is so valuable about my four books of white tea?" , let’s talk about it and listen to it. If it’s right, it’s not too late to treat you politely.” Duan Yu said: "Mrs. Wang, you said that these four books of white tea are called 'Full Moon', you are totally wrong. You don't even know flowers, how can you say you know flowers? One of them is called 'Red makeup plain wrap ', the book is called 'Scratch the Beauty's Face'." Mrs. Wang wondered, "'Scratch the Beauty's Face'? Why is the name so weird? Which book is it?" Duan Yu said: "If you want to ask me for advice, you must be polite." Mrs. Wang was at a loss for him, but she was very happy to hear that the four camellias each had a special name. She smiled and said, "Okay! Xiaoshi, tell the kitchen to hold a banquet in the 'Yunjin Tower' to entertain Mr. Duan." Xiaoshi agreed to go. Abi and Azhu, you look at me, I look at you, seeing that Duan Yu not only escaped from death, but Mrs. Wang is treated as a guest of honor, I am really overjoyed. The maid who escorted Tang Guangxiong earlier reported back: "The man from Dali whose surname is Tang has been buried beside the red flowers in front of the 'Hongxia Building'." Duan Yu felt a chill in his heart.Mrs. Wang nodded indifferently, and said, "Mr. Duan, please!" Duan Yu said, "If you take the liberty to disturb me, the virtuous master, please don't blame me." Hui." The two walked forward politely, not like a moment ago Duan Yu was still tied to the front line of life and death. Mrs. Wang accompanied Duan Yu through the flower forest, across the stone bridge, through the path, and came to a small building.Duan Yu saw a plaque under the eaves of the small building, which said "Yunjin Building" in three dark green seal characters, and camellias were planted in the front, back, left and right downstairs.But these camellias are only third-rate or fourth-rate goods in Dali. Compared with this exquisite pavilions and pavilions, they are not worthy. Mrs. Wang was very proud, and said: "Mr. Duan, you have the most camellias in Dali, but compared with mine, I'm afraid it's not as good as here." Duan Yu nodded and said: "We Dali people really don't like this kind of camellia Planted it." Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Really?" Duan Yu said: "Dali is an ordinary countryman, and he knows how to grow these vulgar camellias, it is too indecent." Mrs. Wang's face changed color and said angrily : "What did you say? You said that these camellias of mine are vulgar products? Your words are...too deceptive." Duan Yu said: "Madam doesn't believe it, so I have no choice but to let you." Pointing to a colorful camellia in front of the building, he said: "This one, I think you regard it as a treasure, um, the jade railing next to this flower Gan is the real Khotan jade, very beautiful, very beautiful." He admired the railings beside the flowers, but didn't say a word about the flowers themselves, just like criticizing other people's calligraphy, blindly praising the black ink and the precious paper. This camellia is red, white, purple and yellow, the flowers are extremely rich and gorgeous, Mrs. Wang has always regarded it as a treasure, but seeing Duan Yu's disdain at this moment, she immediately frowned, with a murderous look in her eyes.Duan Yu said: "Madam, what is the name of this flower in the south of the Yangtze River?" Madam Wang said angrily, "We don't have any special name, we just call it the five-color camellia." Duan Yu smiled and said: "We Dali people have one. name, and call it 'Unsuccessful Scholar'." Mrs. Wang gave a "bah", and said: "It's so ugly, you probably fabricated it. This magnificent flower, how can it look like a failed scholar?" Duan Yu said: "Madam, count down and see, this one How many colors are there in the flowers of a single flower." Mrs. Wang said: "I counted it earlier, and there are at least fifteen or six kinds." Duan Yu said: "There are seventeen colors in total. There is a famous species of camellia in Dali called camellia. 'Eighteen Scholars' is the best in the world. There are eighteen flowers blooming on one plant, and the colors are different. The red ones are all red, and the purple ones are all purple. The shapes are different, and each has its own beauty. When it blooms, it blooms together, and when you thank it, thank you, Madam, have you seen it before?" Madam Wang listened in a daze, shook her head and said: "There is such a camellia in the world! I have never heard of it. Pass." Duan Yu said: "Compared to the 'Eighteen Scholars', the 'Thirteen Taibao' has thirteen flowers of different colors grown on one plant, 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea' has eight flowers of different colors on the same plant, and 'Seven Fairies' has seven flowers of different colors. "Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust" has three flowers, and "Er Qiao" has two flowers, one red and one white. These camellias must be of pure color, if there is white in the red and purple in the white, it is inferior." Madam Wang couldn't help but relax Fascinated, he raised his head and murmured softly to himself, "Why doesn't he ever tell me?" Duan Yu continued: "In 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea', there must be one deep purple flower and one light red flower. Those are Tieguai Li and He Xiangu. If these two colors are missing, even though the eight flowers are of different colors, they can't be counted." Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea', that is called 'Eight Treasure Makeup', it is also a famous species, but it is one level worse than 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea'." Mrs. Wang said: "That's how it is." Duan Yu continued: "Furthermore, the 'Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust' can be divided into genuine products and secondary products. For genuine products, the purple one must be the largest among the three flowers, and that is the bearded man, followed by the white one, which is Li Jing, and the red one is the most." Delicate and the smallest, it is Hong Fu Nu. If the red flower is bigger than the purple flower and the white flower, it is a by-product, and the status is much worse." There is a saying that "it is like a treasure", these famous camellias were originally from Duan Yu's family Treasures, he is familiar with them when he talks about them.Mrs. Wang listened with great interest, and sighed: "I haven't even seen the off-quality product, so what are you talking about?" Duan Yu pointed to the five-color camellia and said: "This kind of camellia, in terms of color, is one color less than that of the Eighteen Scholars, and it is variegated and impure. It blooms sooner or later, and the flowers are big or small. It I imitate the eighteen scholars everywhere, but I don’t always look like that. Isn’t that a sour man with half a bottle of vinegar? That’s why we call it a ‘lost scholar’.” Mrs. Wang couldn’t help but burst out laughing, and said, “This The name is so acrid and mean, most likely it was thought up by you scholars." At this point, Mrs. Wang is completely convinced by Duan Yuzhi's familiarity with the habits of camellias, and immediately leads him to Yunjin Tower.Duan Yu saw that the upstairs was richly furnished, with a painting of a peacock spreading its tail in the middle hall, and a wooden couplet on both sides, which read: "The lacquer leaves are dense in the clouds, and the camellias are envious of the snow".Soon there was a banquet, Mrs. Wang asked Duan Yu to take the seat, and she sat next to the Prime Minister. The dishes in this feast are quite different from those invited by A'Zhu and A'bi.The dishes of Zhu Bi's double servants are known for their lightness and elegance, and they are unique among ordinary things.The banquet in the Yunjinlou pays attention to luxury and rareness, such as bear's paw and shark's fin, all of which are extremely rare.But Duan Yu grew up in the emperor's family since he was a child, and he has never eaten any rare dishes, so he feels that the banquet at Mantuo Villa is far inferior to Qin Yun Xiaozhu. After drinking for three rounds, Mrs. Wang asked: "The Duan family in Dali is a martial arts family, but why doesn't your son practice martial arts?" Ordinary people don't know martial arts." He thought that his life and death were in the hands of others, and he was so embarrassed that he would never reveal the truth about his life experience, and he would fall into the reputation of his uncle and father.Mrs. Wang said: "Your Master is an ordinary person?" Duan Yu said: "Yes." Mrs. Wang said: "Your Master, do you know any royal nobles with the surname Duan?" Mrs. Wang was in a daze for a while, then changed the subject, and said: "Just now I heard that the young master talked about the varieties of camellias, which made me suddenly enlightened. The four pots of white tea I got this time were called 'full moon' by the florist in Suzhou city, but the young master called one of them. It's called 'Red Makeup and Plain Wrap', and the other is called 'Cracking the Beauty's Face', I don't know how to distinguish them, but I would like to hear more details." Duan Yu said: "The one with big white flowers and faint black spots is called 'full moon', and those black spots are the osmanthus branches in the middle of the moon. The one with two olive pits and black spots on the white petals , but it's called 'Eye'er Mei'." Mrs. Wang said happily, "It's a good name." Duan Yu said again: "White petals with red spots are called 'red make-up wrapping'. White petals with a touch of green halo and a trace of red stripes are called 'cracking beauty's face', but if there are too many red threads, But it's not 'scratch a beauty's face', that's called 'Yi Lanjiao'. Madam, please think, all beauties should be quiet and elegant, and occasionally scratch a bloodshot on the face, and they will never be rude when dressing up. It will not be scratched by people, but it is only reasonable to scratch a bloodshot of the bird when playing with the parrot. Therefore, the green halo of the petals is a must, and that is the green-haired parrot. It's all scratched, this beauty is always fighting with others, what beauty is there?" Mrs. Wang couldn't help but nod her head, she was very happy, but suddenly her face darkened, and she shouted: "Bold, are you mocking me?" Duan Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare! I don't know where I offended Madam?" Madam Wang said angrily: "Who did you listen to, fabricate such nonsense, and come to humiliate me? Who said that a woman If you learn martial arts, you won’t be beautiful? What’s so good about being quiet and elegant?” Duan Yu was stunned, and said, “What Wansheng said, it’s only common sense to guess that among the women who can learn martial arts, there are quite a few who are both Beautiful and dignified." Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang's words were still harsh to her ears, and she said sharply, "Are you saying I'm not dignified?" Duan Yu said: "Dignity is not dignified. My wife knows it. How dare you speak nonsense when you are born. It's just forcing people to kill their wives and marry another. This kind of behavior is definitely not a dignified person." After he said it, he became angry and no longer What are the scruples. Mrs. Wang waved her left hand lightly, and the four maidservants who were waiting on the side took two steps together, bowed and said: "Yes!" Mrs. Wang said: "Put this man down and order him to water the camellia." The four maidservants responded in unison. Said: "Yes!" Mrs. Wang said: "Duan Yu, you are from Dali and have the surname Duan. You deserve to die a long time ago. Now the death penalty is sent for the time being. I will punish you to take care of the camellias in the front and back of the village, especially for bringing these four pots of white flowers today. You must be careful. Let me tell you, if one of these four pots of white flowers dies, one of your hands will be cut off, and if two of them die, both hands will be cut off. Yu said: "What if all four plants live?" Mrs. Wang said: "After the four plants are alive, you can cultivate other famous species of camellia for me. What about Eighteen Scholars, Thirteen Taibao, Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Seven Fairies, and Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust" I want a few copies of each of these famous species, Er Qiao. If I can’t do it, I’ll poach your eyeballs.” Duan Yu protested loudly: "These famous species are rare even in Dali, how can they be easily obtained in Jiangnan? There are several copies of each kind, how can it be called rare? You killed me early to be serious. Cutting off my hand today and gouging out my eyes tomorrow, I won’t be punished.” Mrs. Wang scolded, “You’re impatient, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of me? Hold on!” Four maidservants came forward, two of them grabbed his sleeve, one grabbed his chest, and the other pushed him on the back, and the five of them dragged down the stairs together.These four maidservants know martial arts, under their coercion, Duan Yu couldn't resist at all, he just screamed in his heart: "Unlucky, unlucky!"
Four maidservants pulled and pushed him to a flower garden, one maidservant stuffed a hoe into his hand, and the other maidservant took a wooden bucket for watering the flowers, and said, "Listen to Madam's orders, and plant flowers obediently." , you can still live. It’s a great fortune for you not to bury you alive when you offend Madam like this.” Another maid said: “Except for planting and watering flowers, you are not allowed to wander around in Zhuangzi. ，你若闯进了禁地，那可是自己该死，谁也没法救你。”四婢十分郑重的嘱咐一阵，这才离去。段誉呆在当地，当真哭笑不得。 在大理国中，他位份仅次于伯父保定帝和父亲镇南王，将来父亲继承皇位，他便是储君皇太子，岂知给人擒来到江南，要烧要杀，要砍去手足、挖了双眼，那还不算，这会儿却被人逼着做起花匠来。虽然他生性随和，在大理皇宫和王府之中，也时时瞧着花匠修花剪草，锄地施肥，和他们谈谈说说，但在王子心中，自当花匠是卑微之人。 幸好他天性活泼快乐，遇到逆境挫折，最多沮丧得一会儿，不久便高兴起来。自己譬解：“我在无量山玉洞之中，已拜了那位神仙姊姊为师。这位王夫人和那神仙姊姊相貌好像，只不过年纪大些，我便当她是我师伯，有何不可？师长有命，弟子服其劳，本来应该的。何况莳花原是文人韵事，总比动刀抡枪的学武高雅得多了。至于比之给鸠摩智在慕容先生的墓前活活烧死，更是在这儿种花快活千倍万倍。只可惜这些茶花品种太差，要大理王子来亲手服侍，未免是大才小用、杀鸡用牛刀了。哈哈，你是牛刀吗？有何种花大才？” 又想：“在曼陀山庄多耽些时候，总有机缘能见到那位身穿藕色衫子的姑娘一面，这叫做'段誉种花，焉知非福！'” 一想到祸福，便拔了一把草，心下默祷：“且看我几时能见到那位姑娘的面。”将这把草右手交左手，左手交右手的卜算，一卜之下，得了个艮上艮下的“艮”卦，心道：“'艮其背，不获其身，行其庭，不见其人。无咎。'这卦可灵得很哪，虽然不见，终究无咎。” 再卜一次，得了个兑上坎下的“困”卦，暗暗叫苦：“'困于株木，入于幽谷，三岁不觌。'三年都见不到，真乃困之极矣。”转念又想：“三年见不到，第四年便见到了。来日方长，何困之有？” 占卜不利，不敢再卜了，口中哼着小曲，负了锄头，信步而行，心道：“王夫人叫我种活那四盆白茶。这四盆花确是名种，须得找个十分优雅的处所种了起来，方得相衬。”一面走，一面打量四下景物，突然之间，哈哈哈的大声笑了出来，心道：“王夫人对茶花一窍不通，偏偏要在这里种茶花，居然又称这庄子为曼陀山庄。却全不知茶花喜阴不喜阳，种在阳光烈照之处，纵然不死，也难盛放，再大大的施上浓肥，什么名种都给她坑死了，可惜，可惜！好笑，好笑！” 他避开阳光，只往树荫深处行去，转过一座小山，只听得溪水淙淙，左首一排绿竹，四下里甚是幽静。该地在山丘之阴，日光照射不到，王夫人只道不宜种花，因此上一株茶花也无。段誉大喜，说道：“这里最妙不过。” 回到原地，将四盆白茶逐一搬到绿竹丛旁，打碎瓷盆，连着盆泥一起移植在地。他虽从未亲手种过，但自来看得多了，依样葫芦，居然做得极是妥贴。不到半个时辰，四株白茶已种在绿竹之畔，左首一株“抓破美人脸”，右首是“红妆素裹”和“满月”，那一株“眼儿媚”则斜斜的种在小溪旁一块大石之后，自言自语：“此所谓'千呼万唤始出来，犹抱琵琶半遮面'也，要在掩掩映映之中，才增姿媚。”中国历来将花比作美人，莳花之道，也如装扮美人一般。段誉出身皇家，幼读诗书，于这等功夫自然是高人一等。
他伸手溪中，洗净了双手泥污，架起了脚坐在大石上，对那株“眼儿媚”正面瞧瞧，侧面望望，心下正自得意，忽听得脚步细碎，有两个女子走了过来。只听得一人说道：“这里最是幽静，没人来的……” 语音入耳，段誉心头怦的一跳，分明是日间所见那身穿藕色纱衫的少女所说。段誉屏气凝息，半点声音也不敢出，心想：“她说过不见不相干的男子，我段誉自是个不相干的男子了。我只要听她说几句话，听几句她仙乐一般的声音，也已是无穷之福，千万不能让她知道了。”他的头本来斜斜侧着，这时竟然不敢回正，就让脑袋这么侧着，生恐头颈骨中发出一丝半毫轻响，惊动了她。 只听那少女继续说道：“小茗，你听到了什么……什么关于他的消息？”段誉不由得心中一酸，那少女口中的那个“他”，自然决不会是我段誉，而是慕容公子。从王夫人言下听来，那慕容公子似乎单名一个“复”字。那少女的询问之中显是满腔关切，满怀柔情。段誉不自禁既感羡慕，亦复自伤。只听小茗嗫嚅半晌，似是不便直说。 那少女道：“你跟我说啊！我总不忘了你的好处便是。”小茗道：“我怕……怕夫人责怪。”那少女道：“你这傻丫头，你跟我说了，我怎么会对夫人说？”小茗道：“夫人倘若问你呢？”那少女道：“我自然也不说。” 小茗又迟疑了半晌，说道：“表少爷是到少林寺去了。”那少女道：“去了少林寺？阿朱、阿碧她们怎地说他去了洛阳丐帮？” 段誉心道：“怎么是表少爷？嗯，那慕容公子是她的表哥，他二人是中表之亲，青梅竹马，那个……那个……” 小茗道：“夫人这次出外，在途中遇到公冶二爷，说道得知丐帮的头脑都来到了江南，要向表少爷大兴问什么之师的。公冶二爷又说接到表少爷的书信，他到了洛阳，找不到那些叫化头儿，就上嵩山少林寺去。”那少女道：“他去少林寺干什么？”小茗道：“公冶二爷说，表少爷信中言道，他在洛阳听到信息，少林寺有一个老和尚在大理死了，他们竟又冤枉是'姑苏慕容'杀的。表少爷很生气，好在少林寺离洛阳不远，他就要去跟庙里的和尚说个明白。” 那少女道：“倘若说不明白，可不是要动手吗？夫人既得到了讯息，怎地反而回来，不赶去帮表少爷的忙？”小茗道：“这个……婢子就不知道了。想来，夫人不喜欢表少爷。”那少女愤愤的道：“哼，就算不喜欢，终究是自己人。姑苏慕容氏在外面丢了人，咱们王家就很有光彩么？”小茗不敢接口。 那少女在绿竹丛旁走来走去，忽然间看到段誉所种的三株白茶，又见到地下的碎瓷盆，“咦”的一声，问道：“是谁在这里种茶花？” 段誉更不怠慢，从大石后一闪而出，长揖到地，说道：“小生奉夫人之命，在此种植茶花，冲撞了小姐。”他虽深深作揖，眼睛却仍是直视，深怕小姐说一句“我不见不相干的男子”，就此转身而去，又错过了见面的良机。 他一见到那位小姐，耳中“嗡”的一声响，但觉眼前昏昏沉沉，双膝一软，不由自主跪倒在地，若不强自撑住，几乎便要磕下头去，口中却终于叫了出来：“神仙姊姊，我……我想你好苦！弟子段誉拜见师父。” 眼前这少女的相貌，便和无量山石洞中的玉像全然的一般无异。那王夫人已然和玉像颇为相似了，毕竟年纪不同，容貌也不及玉像美艳，但眼前这少女除了服饰相异之外，脸型、眼睛、鼻子、嘴唇、耳朵、肤色、身材、手足，竟然没一处不像，宛然便是那玉像复活。他在梦魂之中，已不知几千几百遍的思念那玉像，此刻眼前亲见，真不知身在何处，是人间还是天上？ 那少女还道他是个疯子，轻呼一声，向后退了两步，惊道：“你……你……” 段誉站起身来，他目光一直瞪视着那少女，这时看得更加清楚了些，终于发觉，眼前少女与那洞中玉像毕竟略有不同：玉像冶艳灵动，颇有勾魂摄魄之态，眼前少女却端庄中带有稚气，相形之下，倒是玉像比之眼前这少女更加活些，说道：“自那日在石洞之中，拜见神仙姊姊的仙范，已然自庆福缘非浅，不意今日更亲眼见到姊姊容颜。世间真有仙子，当非虚语也！” 那少女向小茗道：“他说什么？他……他是谁？”小茗道：“他就是阿朱、阿碧带来的那个书呆子。他说会种茶花，夫人倒信了他的胡说八道。”那少女问段誉道：“书呆子，刚才我和她说的话，你都听见了么？” 段誉笑道：“小生姓段名誉，大理国人氏，非书呆子也。神仙姊姊和这位小茗姊姊的言语，我无意之中都听到了，不过两位大可放心，小生决不泄漏片言只语，担保小茗姊姊决计不会受夫人责怪便是。” 那少女脸色一沉，道：“谁跟你姊姊妹妹的乱叫？你还不认是书呆子，你几时又见过我了？”段誉道：“我不叫你神仙姊姊，却叫什么？”那少女道：“我姓王，你叫我王姑娘就是。” 段誉摇头道：“不行，不行，天下姓王的姑娘何止千千万万，如姑娘这般天仙人物，如何也只称一声'王姑娘'？可是叫你作什么呢？那倒为难得紧了。称你作王仙子吗？似乎太俗气。叫你曼陀公主罢？大宋、大理、辽国、吐蕃、西夏，哪一国没有公主？哪一个能跟你相比？” 那少女听他口中念念有辞，越觉得他呆气十足，不过听他这般倾倒备至、失魂落魄的称赞自己美貌，终究也有点欢喜，微笑道：“总算你运气好，我妈没将你的两脚砍了。” 段誉道：“令堂夫人和神仙姊姊一般的容貌，只是性情特别了些，动不动就杀人，未免和这神仙体态不称……” 那少女秀眉微蹙，道：“你赶紧去种茶花罢，别在这里唠唠叨叨的，我们还有要紧话要说呢。”神态间便当他是个寻常花匠一般。 段誉却也不以为忤，只盼能多和她说一会儿话，能多瞧上她几眼，心想：“要引得她心甘情愿的和我说话，只有跟她谈论慕容公子，除此之外，她是什么事也不会放在心上的。”便道：“少林寺是武林中的泰山北斗，寺中高僧好手没有一千，也有八百，大都精通七十二般绝技。这次少林派玄悲大师在大理陆凉州身戒寺中人毒手而死，众和尚认定是'姑苏慕容'下的手。慕容公子孤身犯险，可大大不妥。” 那少女果真身子一震。段誉不敢直视她脸色，心下暗道：“她为了慕容复这小子而关心挂怀，我见了她的脸色，说不定会气得流下泪来。”但见到她藕色绸衫的下摆轻轻颤动，听到她比洞箫还要柔和的声调问道：“少林寺的和尚为什么冤枉'姑苏慕容'？你可知道么？你……你快跟我说。” 段誉听她这般低语央求，心肠一软，立时便想将所知说了出来，转念又想：“我所知其实颇为有限，只不过玄悲大师身中'韦陀杵'而死，大家说'以彼之道，还施彼身'的，天下就只'姑苏慕容'一家。这些情由，三言两语便说完了。我只一说完，她便又催我去种茶花，再要寻什么话题来跟她谈谈说说，那可不容易了。我得短话长说，小题大做，每天只说这么一小点儿，东拉西扯，不着边际，有多长就拖多长，叫她日日来寻我说话，只要寻我不着，那就心痒难搔。”于是咳嗽一声，说道：“我自己是不会武功的，什么'金鸡独立'、'黑虎偷心'，最容易的招式也不会一招。但我家里有一个朋友，姓朱，名叫朱丹臣，外号叫作'笔砚生'，你别瞧他文文弱弱的，好像和我一样，只道也是个书呆子，嘿，他的武功可真不小。有一天我见他把扇子一收拢，倒了转来，噗的一声，扇子柄在一条大汉的肩膀上这么一点，那条大汉便缩成了一团，好似一堆烂泥那样，动也不会动了。” 那少女道：“嗯，这是'清凉扇'法的打穴功夫，第三十八招'透骨扇'，倒转扇柄，斜打肩贞。这位朱先生是昆仑旁支、三因观门下的弟子，这一派的武功，用判官笔比用扇柄更是厉害。你说正经的罢，不用跟我说武功。” 这一番话若叫朱丹臣听到了，非佩服得五体投地不可，那少女不但说出了这一招的名称手法，连他的师承来历、武学家数，也都说得清清楚楚。假如另一个武学名家听了，比如是段誉的伯父段正明、父亲段正淳，也要大吃一惊：“怎地这个年轻姑娘，于武学之道见识竟如此渊博精辟？”但段誉全然不会武功，这姑娘轻描淡写的说来，他也只轻描淡写的听着。他也不知这少女所说的对不对，一双眼只是瞧着她淡淡的眉毛这么一轩，红红的嘴唇这么一撅，她说得对也好，错也好，全然的不在意下。 那少女问道：“那位朱先生怎么啦？”段誉指着绿竹旁的一张青石条凳，道：“这事说来话长，小姐请移尊步，到那边安安稳稳的坐着，然后待我慢慢的禀告。”那少女道：“你这人罗哩罗唆，爽爽快快不成么？我可没功夫听你的。”段誉道：“小姐今日没空，明日再来找我，那也可以。倘若明日无空，过得几日也是一样。只要夫人没将我的舌头割去，小姐但有所问，我自是知无不言，言无不尽。” 那少女左足在地下轻轻一顿，转过头不再理他，问小茗道：“夫人还说什么？”小茗道：“夫人说：'哼，乱子越惹越大了。结上了丐帮的冤家，又成了少林派的对头，只怕你姑苏慕容家死……死无葬身之地。'”那少女急道：“妈明知表少爷处境凶险，怎地毫不理会？”小茗道：“是。小姐，怕夫人要找我了，我得去啦！刚才的话，小姐千万别说是我说的，婢子还想服侍你几年呢。”那少女道：“你放心好啦。我怎会害你？”小茗告别而去。段誉见她目光中流露恐惧的神气，心想：“王夫人杀人如草芥，确是令人魂飞魄散。” 那少女缓步走到青石凳前，轻轻巧巧的坐了下来，却并不叫段誉也坐。段誉自然不敢贸然坐在她的身旁，但见一株白茶和她相距甚近，两株离得略远，美人名花，当真相得益彰，叹道：“'名花倾国两相欢'，不及，不及。当年李太白以芍药比喻杨贵妃之美，他若有福见到小姐，就知道花朵虽美，然而无娇嗔，无软语，无喜笑，无忧思，那是万万不及了。” 那少女幽幽的道：“你不停的说我很美，我也不知真不真。” 段誉大为奇怪，说道：“不知子都之美者，无目者也。于男子尚且如此，何况如姑娘这般惊世绝艳？想是你一生之中听到赞美的话太多，也听得厌了。” 那少女缓缓摇头，目光中露出了寂寞之意，说道：“从来没人对我说美还是不美。这曼陀山庄之中，除了我妈之外，都是婢女仆妇。她们只知道我是小姐，谁来管我是美是丑？”段誉道：“那么外面的人呢？”那少女道：“什么外面的人？”段誉道：“你到外面去，别人见到你这天仙般的美女，难道不惊喜赞叹、低头膜拜吗？”那少女道：“我从来不到外边去，到外边去干什么？妈妈也不许我出去。我到姑妈家的'还施水阁'去看书，也遇不上什么外人，不过是他的几个朋友邓大哥、公冶二哥、包三哥、风四哥他们，他们……又不像你这般呆头呆脑的。”说着微微一笑。 段誉道：“难道慕容公子……他也从来不说你很美吗？” 那少女慢慢的低下了头，只听得瑟的一下极轻极轻的声响，跟着又是这么一声，几滴眼泪滴在地下的青草上，晶莹生光，便如是清晨的露珠。 段誉不敢再问，也不敢说什么安慰的话。 过了好一会，那少女轻叹一声，说道：“他……他是很忙的，一年到头，从早到晚，没什么空闲的时候。他和我在一起时，不是跟我谈论武功，便是谈论国家大事。我……我讨厌武功。” 段誉一拍大腿，叫道：“不错，不错，我也讨厌武功。我伯父和我爹爹叫我学武，我说什么也不学，宁可偷偷的逃了出来。” 那少女一声长叹，说道：“我为了要时时见他，虽然讨厌武功，但看了拳经刀谱，还是牢牢记在心中，他有什么地方不明白，我就好说给他听。不过我自己却是不学的。女孩儿家抡刀使棒，总是不雅……”段誉打从心底里赞出来：“是啊，是啊！像你这样天下无双的美人儿，怎能跟人动手动脚，那太也不成话了。啊哟……”他突然想到，这句话可得罪了自己母亲。那少女却没留心他说些什么，续道：“那些历代帝皇将相，今天你杀我，明天我杀你的事，我实在不愿知道。可是他最爱谈这些，我只好去看这些书，说给他听。” 段誉奇道：“为什么要你看了说给他听，他自己不会看么？”那少女白了他一眼，嗔道：“你道他是瞎子么？他不识字么？”段誉忙道：“不，不！我说他是天下第一的好人，好不好？”他话是这么说，心中却忍不住一酸。 那少女嫣然一笑，说道：“他是我表哥。这庄子中，除了姑妈、姑丈和表哥外，很少有旁人来。但自从我姑丈去世之后，我妈跟姑妈吵翻了。我妈连表哥也不许来。我也不知他是不是天下最好的人。天下的好人坏人，我谁也见不到。”段誉道：“怎不问你爹爹？” 那少女道：“我爹爹早故世了，我没生下来，他就已故世了，我……我从来没见过他一面。”说着眼圈儿一红，又是泫然欲涕。 段誉道：“嗯，你姑妈是你爹爹的姊姊，你姑丈是你姑妈的丈夫，他……他……他是你姑妈的儿子。”那少女笑了出来，说道：“瞧你这般傻里傻气的。我是我妈妈的女儿，他是我的表哥。” 段誉见逗引得她笑了，甚是高兴，说道：“啊，我知道了，想是你表哥很忙，没功夫看书，因此你就代他看。”那少女道：“也可以这么说，不过另外还有原因的。我问你，少林寺的和尚们，为什么冤枉我表哥杀了他们少林派的人？” 段誉见她长长的睫毛上兀自带着一滴泪珠，心想：“前人云：'梨花一枝春带雨'，以此比拟美人之哭泣。可是梨花美则美矣，梨树却太过臃肿，而且雨后梨花，片片花朵上都是泪水，又未免伤心过分。只有像王姑娘这么，山茶朝露，那才美了。” 那少女等了一会，见他始终不答，伸手在他手背上轻轻一推，道：“你怎么了？”段誉全身一震，跳起身来，叫道：“啊哟！”那少女给他吓了一跳，道：“怎么？”段誉满脸通红，道：“你手指在我手背上一推，我好像给你点了穴道。” 那少女睁着圆圆的眼睛，不知他在说笑，说道：“这边手背上没有穴道的。'液门'、'中渚'、'阳池'三穴都在掌缘，'前豁'、'养老'两穴近手腕了，离得更远。”她说着伸出自己手背来比划。 段誉见到她左手食指
All of a sudden, A'Zhu exclaimed "Ah", and said, "Uncle Madam... Uncle Madam is back." Duan Yu turned his head and saw a fast boat approaching like flying on the lake, and it was near in the blink of an eye.The bow of the clipper boat is colorfully painted with flowers, and when you get closer, you can see that they are also camellias.A'Zhu and A'bi stood up, bowed their heads and lowered their eyebrows, with an extremely respectful expression.Abi gestured to Duan Yulian, asking him to stand up too.Duan Yu shook his head with a smile, and said: "When the master leaves the cabin to speak, I will get up. A man, don't be too humble." Only a woman's voice in the fast boat shouted: "Which man dares to come to Mantuo Villa without permission? Don't you hear that any man who comes without invitation will have his feet cut off?" The voice was very majestic, but Quite crisp and pleasant to hear.Duan Yu said loudly: "Next Duan Yu, he took refuge in Baozhuang and did not trespass on purpose. Thank you very much." The woman said, "Your surname is Duan?" There was a hint of surprise in her voice.Duan Yu said: "Exactly!" The woman said: "Hmph, A'Zhu and A'bi, it's you two little hoofs! This kid Murong Fu just doesn't learn well, he only does evil things secretly." A'Zhu said: "Report to Uncle and Madam, servant girl My son was being chased by the enemy and passed by Mantuo Mountain Villa. My son has gone out, and this matter has absolutely nothing to do with my son." The woman in the cabin sneered: "Hmph, sweet words. Don't leave so soon, come with me. "A'Zhu and A'bi responded in unison: "Yes." They rowed the boat and followed the fast boat.At that time, it was not far from Mantuo Mountain Villa, and the two ships docked one after another in a short while. Hearing Huan Pei ding dong, many women in Tsing Yi came out of the fast boat in pairs. They were all dressed as maidservants, each holding a long sword in his hand. In an instant, the blade was as white as frost.Eighteen women lined up in two rows, holding swords at their waists and pointing upwards. After standing still, a woman came out of the boat. When Duan Yu saw the woman's appearance, he couldn't help but let out an "Ah" in surprise, he was tongue-tied, as if he was in a dream, it turned out that the woman was wearing a goose-yellow silk shirt, and the decorations on her clothes looked like those of the cave in Wuliang Mountain in Dali jade statue.But this woman is a middle-aged beauty, not more than forty years old, but the jade statue in the cave is a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.Duan Yu was startled, when he looked at the appearance of that beautiful woman again, he saw that she was compared to the jade statue in the cave, her facial features, mouth, nose and nose were not so glamorous, although her age was different, her face also had traces of years of hardship , but there are five or six points similar to each other.A'Zhu and A'bi saw him staring at Mrs. Wang intently, it was extremely rude, they even complained about the price of pearls in their hearts, and even gestured to tell him not to look, but Duan Yu's eyes were fixed on Mrs. Wang's face . The woman squinted at him and said coldly: "This man is so rude, I will cut off his feet first, then goug out his eyes, and cut off his tongue." A maid bowed and replied: "Yes! " Duan Yu's heart sank: "If you really kill me, that's nothing more than that. But if you want to chop off my feet, goug out my eyes, cut off my tongue, and make me dead or alive, this crime is unbearable. I'm getting older." He didn't really feel fear until now, he turned his head and glanced at A'Zhu and A'bi, only to see that their faces were ashen and stupefied. After Mrs. Wang got ashore, two maidservants in green clothes walked out of the cabin, holding an iron chain in each hand, and dragged two men out of the cabin.Both of them had their hands tied behind their backs, and their heads were downcast.One has a handsome face, he seems to be a son of a wealthy family, the other Duan Yu unexpectedly recognized him as a disciple of the Wuliang Sword Sect, I remember his name is Tang Guangxiong.Duan Yu was amazed: "This person was originally in Dali, how did Mrs. Wang get him to the south of the Yangtze River?" Mrs. Wang said to Tang Guangxiong: "You are obviously from Dali, how can you deny it?" Tang Guangxiong said, "I am from Yunnan, and my hometown is in the Song Dynasty, not Dali." How far is your hometown from Dali Kingdom?" Tang Guangxiong said: "More than four hundred miles." Mrs. Wang said: "If it is less than five hundred miles away, you can be considered as a Dali native. Go and bury it alive under the mandala flowers and use it as fertilizer." Tang Guangxiong shouted: "What did I do? Tell me clearly, otherwise I will die with peace." Mrs. Wang sneered and said: "As long as you are from Dali, or someone with the surname Duan, you will be buried alive if you hit me. What are you doing here in Suzhou? Now that you’ve come to Suzhou, why are you still talking with a Dali accent and yelling loudly in restaurants? Although you’re not from Dali, but you’re close to Dali, you can handle it normally.” Duan Yu said in his heart: "Aha, you are obviously coming after me. I don't need you to ask, just admit it directly." He said loudly: "I am a native of Dali, and my surname is Duan. You want to be buried alive. Get started early." Mrs. Wang said coldly: "You have already signed up, claiming to be Duan Yu, hmph, it is not so easy for the Duan family in Dali to die." With a wave of her hand, a maid pulled Tang Guangxiong away.Tang Guangxiong didn't know whether his acupuncture points were tapped or he was seriously injured, so he had no strength to defend himself, he just yelled: "There are no such rules in the world, Dali has millions of people, can you kill them all?" But seeing him being pulled Entering the flower forest, the voice gradually faded away. Mrs. Wang turned her head slightly, and said to the handsome man: "What do you say?" The man suddenly bent his knees, fell to his knees, and begged: "My father is an official in Beijing, and I am the only son under my knees. But please spare my life. If Madam has any orders, my father will definitely agree." Madam Wang said coldly: "Your father is a high official in the court, don't I know? It's not difficult to spare your life, you go back today Immediately kill the wife of Jiefa at home, and tomorrow you marry the Miao girl you met privately outside, and you have to have three letters and six ceremonies, everything is available. Is it possible?" The young master said: "This... to kill my wife, really Can't do it. Ming Media is marrying Miss Miao, and my parents will never agree. This is not me..." Mrs. Wang said: "Take him to bury him alive!" The maid who led him replied: "Yes!" The chain will go.The young master trembled with fright, and said: "I... I promise." Mrs. Wang said: "Xiao Cui, you escort him back to Suzhou City, and watch him kill his wife and marry Miss Miao. I just came back." Xiaocui replied: "Yes!" Pulling the young master, she walked to a small boat moored on the shore. The young master begged: "Madam, please be kind. Zhuojing has no grudges against you, and you don't know Miss Miao. Why do you help her like this and force me to kill my wife and marry another? I... I never knew you, I never... ...I never dared to offend you." Mrs. Wang said: "You already have a wife, so you shouldn't bother with other girls. Since you deceived her with sweet words, you must marry her. This kind of I don't care if I don't hear about it, as long as you let me know, of course it will be handled like this. This is not the first case of yours, what are you complaining about? Xiaocui, how many times do you think this is?" Xiaocui said: "The servant girl is here In Changshu, Danyang, Wuxi, Jiaxing and other places, a total of seven cases have been held, and Xiaolan and Xiaoshi have also done some." When the young master heard that this was the case, he only complained repeatedly.Xiaocui pulled the wooden oar and rowed the boat to go by herself. Duan Yu saw that Mrs. Wang's actions were extremely unreasonable, he couldn't help being stunned, completely dumbfounded, all he thought of was the words "how can this be so reasonable", before he knew it, he said in passing: "how can it be so reasonable, how can it be so reasonable! Mrs. Wang snorted and said, "There are more unreasonable things in the world." Duan Yu was disappointed and sad at the same time, that day when he saw the jade statue of the immortal sister in the cave of Wuliang Mountain, he felt so much admiration in his heart, the person in front of him was really similar in appearance to the jade statue, but his words and deeds were like ghosts and ghosts. He lowered his head in a daze, and saw four maidservants walking into the cabin and coming out with four pots of flowers.When Duan Yu saw it, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.The four pots are made of camellia, which is a rare and famous species.Dali is the most famous camellia in the world, and there are innumerable famous species in Zhennan Wangfu, and Dali is the most famous. Duan Yu has been used to seeing it since he was a child. If you are familiar with it, you know it without getting used to it, just like a farmer's son must distinguish between wheat and beans, and a fisherman's son must know fish and shrimp.He walked around the Mantuo Mountain Villa for a long time, but he didn't see any really great products. He felt that the word "Mantuo Mountain Villa" was a misnomer. Now when he saw these four pots of camellia, he nodded secretly, thinking: "This makes a little sense. " Mrs. Wang said: "Xiaocha, these four pots of 'full moon' camellias are not easy to come by and must be taken care of." The maid named Xiaocha replied: "Yes!" Also a layman, he sneered.Mrs. Wang said again: "The lake is very windy. These four pots of flowers have been placed in the cabin for a few days without seeing the sun. Put them in the sun and put more fertilizer on them." Xiaocha replied again: "Yes!" Duan Yu couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud. Mrs. Wang heard him laughing strangely, and asked: "What are you laughing at?" Duan Yu said: "I laugh at you because you don't understand camellia, but you want to grow camellia. Such a good product fell into your hands, it really is burning qin and cooking cranes, It's a shame. It's a pity, it's a pity, it makes people feel distressed." Mrs. Wang said angrily, "I don't understand camellia, so do you understand?" Suddenly she thought: "Wait a minute! He is Duan from Dali, maybe he is Duan. I really know camellia." But he said it stiffly: "The name of this village is Mandala Villa, and there are mandala flowers inside and outside the villa, how lush and gorgeous they are? How can you say I don't know camellia?" Duan Yu smiled. : "Mediocre fat and vulgar powder, naturally rough and long. These four pots of white tea are the color of the city. If you, a layman, can grow them well, I will not be named Duan." Mrs. Wang loves camellias very much, and spends a lot of money to buy good varieties everywhere. However, after transplanting to Mantuo Villa, none of the rare camellias can flourish. They often grow for a year or so before withering or dying.She was often troubled by this, and after hearing Duan Yu's words, she was not angry but happy, took two steps, and asked: "What's the difference between my four pots of white tea? How can I plant them well?" Duan Yu said: "You If you ask me for advice, you should have the etiquette to ask for advice. If you threaten to torture me, you will cut off my feet first, and it will not be too late to ask." Mrs. Wang said angrily: "What's the problem with cutting off your feet? Xiaoshi, go and cut off his left foot first." The maid named Xiaoshi agreed and stepped forward with her sword.Abi said urgently: "Uncle and Madam, don't come here. If you hurt my son, this person is so stubborn that he would rather die than say anything." Mrs. Wang originally intended to scare Duan Yu, and with a move of her left hand, the poem immediately stop. Duan Yu laughed and said: "You cut off my feet and bury them next to these four books of white tea. It's really good fertilizer. These white teas will grow bigger and bigger, maybe as big as a sea bowl, haha, beautiful, Wonderful, wonderful!" Mrs. Wang thought so in her heart, but hearing his tone was full of irony, she was speechless for a moment, startled for a while, and said: "What are you talking about? What is so valuable about my four books of white tea?" , let’s talk about it and listen to it. If it’s right, it’s not too late to treat you politely.” Duan Yu said: "Mrs. Wang, you said that these four books of white tea are called 'Full Moon', you are totally wrong. You don't even know flowers, how can you say you know flowers? One of them is called 'Red makeup plain wrap ', the book is called 'Scratch the Beauty's Face'." Mrs. Wang wondered, "'Scratch the Beauty's Face'? Why is the name so weird? Which book is it?" Duan Yu said: "If you want to ask me for advice, you must be polite." Mrs. Wang was at a loss for him, but she was very happy to hear that the four camellias each had a special name. She smiled and said, "Okay! Xiaoshi, tell the kitchen to hold a banquet in the 'Yunjin Tower' to entertain Mr. Duan." Xiaoshi agreed to go. Abi and Azhu, you look at me, I look at you, seeing that Duan Yu not only escaped from death, but Mrs. Wang is treated as a guest of honor, I am really overjoyed. The maid who escorted Tang Guangxiong earlier reported back: "The man from Dali whose surname is Tang has been buried beside the red flowers in front of the 'Hongxia Building'." Duan Yu felt a chill in his heart.Mrs. Wang nodded indifferently, and said, "Mr. Duan, please!" Duan Yu said, "If you take the liberty to disturb me, the virtuous master, please don't blame me." Hui." The two walked forward politely, not like a moment ago Duan Yu was still tied to the front line of life and death. Mrs. Wang accompanied Duan Yu through the flower forest, across the stone bridge, through the path, and came to a small building.Duan Yu saw a plaque under the eaves of the small building, which said "Yunjin Building" in three dark green seal characters, and camellias were planted in the front, back, left and right downstairs.But these camellias are only third-rate or fourth-rate goods in Dali. Compared with this exquisite pavilions and pavilions, they are not worthy. Mrs. Wang was very proud, and said: "Mr. Duan, you have the most camellias in Dali, but compared with mine, I'm afraid it's not as good as here." Duan Yu nodded and said: "We Dali people really don't like this kind of camellia Planted it." Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Really?" Duan Yu said: "Dali is an ordinary countryman, and he knows how to grow these vulgar camellias, it is too indecent." Mrs. Wang's face changed color and said angrily : "What did you say? You said that these camellias of mine are vulgar products? Your words are...too deceptive." Duan Yu said: "Madam doesn't believe it, so I have no choice but to let you." Pointing to a colorful camellia in front of the building, he said: "This one, I think you regard it as a treasure, um, the jade railing next to this flower Gan is the real Khotan jade, very beautiful, very beautiful." He admired the railings beside the flowers, but didn't say a word about the flowers themselves, just like criticizing other people's calligraphy, blindly praising the black ink and the precious paper. This camellia is red, white, purple and yellow, the flowers are extremely rich and gorgeous, Mrs. Wang has always regarded it as a treasure, but seeing Duan Yu's disdain at this moment, she immediately frowned, with a murderous look in her eyes.Duan Yu said: "Madam, what is the name of this flower in the south of the Yangtze River?" Madam Wang said angrily, "We don't have any special name, we just call it the five-color camellia." Duan Yu smiled and said: "We Dali people have one. name, and call it 'Unsuccessful Scholar'." Mrs. Wang gave a "bah", and said: "It's so ugly, you probably fabricated it. This magnificent flower, how can it look like a failed scholar?" Duan Yu said: "Madam, count down and see, this one How many colors are there in the flowers of a single flower." Mrs. Wang said: "I counted it earlier, and there are at least fifteen or six kinds." Duan Yu said: "There are seventeen colors in total. There is a famous species of camellia in Dali called camellia. 'Eighteen Scholars' is the best in the world. There are eighteen flowers blooming on one plant, and the colors are different. The red ones are all red, and the purple ones are all purple. The shapes are different, and each has its own beauty. When it blooms, it blooms together, and when you thank it, thank you, Madam, have you seen it before?" Madam Wang listened in a daze, shook her head and said: "There is such a camellia in the world! I have never heard of it. Pass." Duan Yu said: "Compared to the 'Eighteen Scholars', the 'Thirteen Taibao' has thirteen flowers of different colors grown on one plant, 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea' has eight flowers of different colors on the same plant, and 'Seven Fairies' has seven flowers of different colors. "Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust" has three flowers, and "Er Qiao" has two flowers, one red and one white. These camellias must be of pure color, if there is white in the red and purple in the white, it is inferior." Madam Wang couldn't help but relax Fascinated, he raised his head and murmured softly to himself, "Why doesn't he ever tell me?" Duan Yu continued: "In 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea', there must be one deep purple flower and one light red flower. Those are Tieguai Li and He Xiangu. If these two colors are missing, even though the eight flowers are of different colors, they can't be counted." Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea', that is called 'Eight Treasure Makeup', it is also a famous species, but it is one level worse than 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea'." Mrs. Wang said: "That's how it is." Duan Yu continued: "Furthermore, the 'Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust' can be divided into genuine products and secondary products. For genuine products, the purple one must be the largest among the three flowers, and that is the bearded man, followed by the white one, which is Li Jing, and the red one is the most." Delicate and the smallest, it is Hong Fu Nu. If the red flower is bigger than the purple flower and the white flower, it is a by-product, and the status is much worse." There is a saying that "it is like a treasure", these famous camellias were originally from Duan Yu's family Treasures, he is familiar with them when he talks about them.Mrs. Wang listened with great interest, and sighed: "I haven't even seen the off-quality product, so what are you talking about?" Duan Yu pointed to the five-color camellia and said: "This kind of camellia, in terms of color, is one color less than that of the Eighteen Scholars, and it is variegated and impure. It blooms sooner or later, and the flowers are big or small. It I imitate the eighteen scholars everywhere, but I don’t always look like that. Isn’t that a sour man with half a bottle of vinegar? That’s why we call it a ‘lost scholar’.” Mrs. Wang couldn’t help but burst out laughing, and said, “This The name is so acrid and mean, most likely it was thought up by you scholars." At this point, Mrs. Wang is completely convinced by Duan Yuzhi's familiarity with the habits of camellias, and immediately leads him to Yunjin Tower.Duan Yu saw that the upstairs was richly furnished, with a painting of a peacock spreading its tail in the middle hall, and a wooden couplet on both sides, which read: "The lacquer leaves are dense in the clouds, and the camellias are envious of the snow".Soon there was a banquet, Mrs. Wang asked Duan Yu to take the seat, and she sat next to the Prime Minister. The dishes in this feast are quite different from those invited by A'Zhu and A'bi.The dishes of Zhu Bi's double servants are known for their lightness and elegance, and they are unique among ordinary things.The banquet in the Yunjinlou pays attention to luxury and rareness, such as bear's paw and shark's fin, all of which are extremely rare.But Duan Yu grew up in the emperor's family since he was a child, and he has never eaten any rare dishes, so he feels that the banquet at Mantuo Villa is far inferior to Qin Yun Xiaozhu. After drinking for three rounds, Mrs. Wang asked: "The Duan family in Dali is a martial arts family, but why doesn't your son practice martial arts?" Ordinary people don't know martial arts." He thought that his life and death were in the hands of others, and he was so embarrassed that he would never reveal the truth about his life experience, and he would fall into the reputation of his uncle and father.Mrs. Wang said: "Your Master is an ordinary person?" Duan Yu said: "Yes." Mrs. Wang said: "Your Master, do you know any royal nobles with the surname Duan?" Mrs. Wang was in a daze for a while, then changed the subject, and said: "Just now I heard that the young master talked about the varieties of camellias, which made me suddenly enlightened. The four pots of white tea I got this time were called 'full moon' by the florist in Suzhou city, but the young master called one of them. It's called 'Red Makeup and Plain Wrap', and the other is called 'Cracking the Beauty's Face', I don't know how to distinguish them, but I would like to hear more details." Duan Yu said: "The one with big white flowers and faint black spots is called 'full moon', and those black spots are the osmanthus branches in the middle of the moon. The one with two olive pits and black spots on the white petals , but it's called 'Eye'er Mei'." Mrs. Wang said happily, "It's a good name." Duan Yu said again: "White petals with red spots are called 'red make-up wrapping'. White petals with a touch of green halo and a trace of red stripes are called 'cracking beauty's face', but if there are too many red threads, But it's not 'scratch a beauty's face', that's called 'Yi Lanjiao'. Madam, please think, all beauties should be quiet and elegant, and occasionally scratch a bloodshot on the face, and they will never be rude when dressing up. It will not be scratched by people, but it is only reasonable to scratch a bloodshot of the bird when playing with the parrot. Therefore, the green halo of the petals is a must, and that is the green-haired parrot. It's all scratched, this beauty is always fighting with others, what beauty is there?" Mrs. Wang couldn't help but nod her head, she was very happy, but suddenly her face darkened, and she shouted: "Bold, are you mocking me?" Duan Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare! I don't know where I offended Madam?" Madam Wang said angrily: "Who did you listen to, fabricate such nonsense, and come to humiliate me? Who said that a woman If you learn martial arts, you won’t be beautiful? What’s so good about being quiet and elegant?” Duan Yu was stunned, and said, “What Wansheng said, it’s only common sense to guess that among the women who can learn martial arts, there are quite a few who are both Beautiful and dignified." Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang's words were still harsh to her ears, and she said sharply, "Are you saying I'm not dignified?" Duan Yu said: "Dignity is not dignified. My wife knows it. How dare you speak nonsense when you are born. It's just forcing people to kill their wives and marry another. This kind of behavior is definitely not a dignified person." After he said it, he became angry and no longer What are the scruples. Mrs. Wang waved her left hand lightly, and the four maidservants who were waiting on the side took two steps together, bowed and said: "Yes!" Mrs. Wang said: "Put this man down and order him to water the camellia." The four maidservants responded in unison. Said: "Yes!" Mrs. Wang said: "Duan Yu, you are from Dali and have the surname Duan. You deserve to die a long time ago. Now the death penalty is sent for the time being. I will punish you to take care of the camellias in the front and back of the village, especially for bringing these four pots of white flowers today. You must be careful. Let me tell you, if one of these four pots of white flowers dies, one of your hands will be cut off, and if two of them die, both hands will be cut off. Yu said: "What if all four plants live?" Mrs. Wang said: "After the four plants are alive, you can cultivate other famous species of camellia for me. What about Eighteen Scholars, Thirteen Taibao, Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Seven Fairies, and Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust" I want a few copies of each of these famous species, Er Qiao. If I can’t do it, I’ll poach your eyeballs.” Duan Yu protested loudly: "These famous species are rare even in Dali, how can they be easily obtained in Jiangnan? There are several copies of each kind, how can it be called rare? You killed me early to be serious. Cutting off my hand today and gouging out my eyes tomorrow, I won’t be punished.” Mrs. Wang scolded, “You’re impatient, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of me? Hold on!” Four maidservants came forward, two of them grabbed his sleeve, one grabbed his chest, and the other pushed him on the back, and the five of them dragged down the stairs together.These four maidservants know martial arts, under their coercion, Duan Yu couldn't resist at all, he just screamed in his heart: "Unlucky, unlucky!"
Four maidservants pulled and pushed him to a flower garden, one maidservant stuffed a hoe into his hand, and the other maidservant took a wooden bucket for watering the flowers, and said, "Listen to Madam's orders, and plant flowers obediently." , you can still live. It’s a great fortune for you not to bury you alive when you offend Madam like this.” Another maid said: “Except for planting and watering flowers, you are not allowed to wander around in Zhuangzi. ，你若闯进了禁地，那可是自己该死，谁也没法救你。”四婢十分郑重的嘱咐一阵，这才离去。段誉呆在当地，当真哭笑不得。 在大理国中，他位份仅次于伯父保定帝和父亲镇南王，将来父亲继承皇位，他便是储君皇太子，岂知给人擒来到江南，要烧要杀，要砍去手足、挖了双眼，那还不算，这会儿却被人逼着做起花匠来。虽然他生性随和，在大理皇宫和王府之中，也时时瞧着花匠修花剪草，锄地施肥，和他们谈谈说说，但在王子心中，自当花匠是卑微之人。 幸好他天性活泼快乐，遇到逆境挫折，最多沮丧得一会儿，不久便高兴起来。自己譬解：“我在无量山玉洞之中，已拜了那位神仙姊姊为师。这位王夫人和那神仙姊姊相貌好像，只不过年纪大些，我便当她是我师伯，有何不可？师长有命，弟子服其劳，本来应该的。何况莳花原是文人韵事，总比动刀抡枪的学武高雅得多了。至于比之给鸠摩智在慕容先生的墓前活活烧死，更是在这儿种花快活千倍万倍。只可惜这些茶花品种太差，要大理王子来亲手服侍，未免是大才小用、杀鸡用牛刀了。哈哈，你是牛刀吗？有何种花大才？” 又想：“在曼陀山庄多耽些时候，总有机缘能见到那位身穿藕色衫子的姑娘一面，这叫做'段誉种花，焉知非福！'” 一想到祸福，便拔了一把草，心下默祷：“且看我几时能见到那位姑娘的面。”将这把草右手交左手，左手交右手的卜算，一卜之下，得了个艮上艮下的“艮”卦，心道：“'艮其背，不获其身，行其庭，不见其人。无咎。'这卦可灵得很哪，虽然不见，终究无咎。” 再卜一次，得了个兑上坎下的“困”卦，暗暗叫苦：“'困于株木，入于幽谷，三岁不觌。'三年都见不到，真乃困之极矣。”转念又想：“三年见不到，第四年便见到了。来日方长，何困之有？” 占卜不利，不敢再卜了，口中哼着小曲，负了锄头，信步而行，心道：“王夫人叫我种活那四盆白茶。这四盆花确是名种，须得找个十分优雅的处所种了起来，方得相衬。”一面走，一面打量四下景物，突然之间，哈哈哈的大声笑了出来，心道：“王夫人对茶花一窍不通，偏偏要在这里种茶花，居然又称这庄子为曼陀山庄。却全不知茶花喜阴不喜阳，种在阳光烈照之处，纵然不死，也难盛放，再大大的施上浓肥，什么名种都给她坑死了，可惜，可惜！好笑，好笑！” 他避开阳光，只往树荫深处行去，转过一座小山，只听得溪水淙淙，左首一排绿竹，四下里甚是幽静。该地在山丘之阴，日光照射不到，王夫人只道不宜种花，因此上一株茶花也无。段誉大喜，说道：“这里最妙不过。” 回到原地，将四盆白茶逐一搬到绿竹丛旁，打碎瓷盆，连着盆泥一起移植在地。他虽从未亲手种过，但自来看得多了，依样葫芦，居然做得极是妥贴。不到半个时辰，四株白茶已种在绿竹之畔，左首一株“抓破美人脸”，右首是“红妆素裹”和“满月”，那一株“眼儿媚”则斜斜的种在小溪旁一块大石之后，自言自语：“此所谓'千呼万唤始出来，犹抱琵琶半遮面'也，要在掩掩映映之中，才增姿媚。”中国历来将花比作美人，莳花之道，也如装扮美人一般。段誉出身皇家，幼读诗书，于这等功夫自然是高人一等。
他伸手溪中，洗净了双手泥污，架起了脚坐在大石上，对那株“眼儿媚”正面瞧瞧，侧面望望，心下正自得意，忽听得脚步细碎，有两个女子走了过来。只听得一人说道：“这里最是幽静，没人来的……” 语音入耳，段誉心头怦的一跳，分明是日间所见那身穿藕色纱衫的少女所说。段誉屏气凝息，半点声音也不敢出，心想：“她说过不见不相干的男子，我段誉自是个不相干的男子了。我只要听她说几句话，听几句她仙乐一般的声音，也已是无穷之福，千万不能让她知道了。”他的头本来斜斜侧着，这时竟然不敢回正，就让脑袋这么侧着，生恐头颈骨中发出一丝半毫轻响，惊动了她。 只听那少女继续说道：“小茗，你听到了什么……什么关于他的消息？”段誉不由得心中一酸，那少女口中的那个“他”，自然决不会是我段誉，而是慕容公子。从王夫人言下听来，那慕容公子似乎单名一个“复”字。那少女的询问之中显是满腔关切，满怀柔情。段誉不自禁既感羡慕，亦复自伤。只听小茗嗫嚅半晌，似是不便直说。 那少女道：“你跟我说啊！我总不忘了你的好处便是。”小茗道：“我怕……怕夫人责怪。”那少女道：“你这傻丫头，你跟我说了，我怎么会对夫人说？”小茗道：“夫人倘若问你呢？”那少女道：“我自然也不说。” 小茗又迟疑了半晌，说道：“表少爷是到少林寺去了。”那少女道：“去了少林寺？阿朱、阿碧她们怎地说他去了洛阳丐帮？” 段誉心道：“怎么是表少爷？嗯，那慕容公子是她的表哥，他二人是中表之亲，青梅竹马，那个……那个……” 小茗道：“夫人这次出外，在途中遇到公冶二爷，说道得知丐帮的头脑都来到了江南，要向表少爷大兴问什么之师的。公冶二爷又说接到表少爷的书信，他到了洛阳，找不到那些叫化头儿，就上嵩山少林寺去。”那少女道：“他去少林寺干什么？”小茗道：“公冶二爷说，表少爷信中言道，他在洛阳听到信息，少林寺有一个老和尚在大理死了，他们竟又冤枉是'姑苏慕容'杀的。表少爷很生气，好在少林寺离洛阳不远，他就要去跟庙里的和尚说个明白。” 那少女道：“倘若说不明白，可不是要动手吗？夫人既得到了讯息，怎地反而回来，不赶去帮表少爷的忙？”小茗道：“这个……婢子就不知道了。想来，夫人不喜欢表少爷。”那少女愤愤的道：“哼，就算不喜欢，终究是自己人。姑苏慕容氏在外面丢了人，咱们王家就很有光彩么？”小茗不敢接口。 那少女在绿竹丛旁走来走去，忽然间看到段誉所种的三株白茶，又见到地下的碎瓷盆，“咦”的一声，问道：“是谁在这里种茶花？” 段誉更不怠慢，从大石后一闪而出，长揖到地，说道：“小生奉夫人之命，在此种植茶花，冲撞了小姐。”他虽深深作揖，眼睛却仍是直视，深怕小姐说一句“我不见不相干的男子”，就此转身而去，又错过了见面的良机。 他一见到那位小姐，耳中“嗡”的一声响，但觉眼前昏昏沉沉，双膝一软，不由自主跪倒在地，若不强自撑住，几乎便要磕下头去，口中却终于叫了出来：“神仙姊姊，我……我想你好苦！弟子段誉拜见师父。” 眼前这少女的相貌，便和无量山石洞中的玉像全然的一般无异。那王夫人已然和玉像颇为相似了，毕竟年纪不同，容貌也不及玉像美艳，但眼前这少女除了服饰相异之外，脸型、眼睛、鼻子、嘴唇、耳朵、肤色、身材、手足，竟然没一处不像，宛然便是那玉像复活。他在梦魂之中，已不知几千几百遍的思念那玉像，此刻眼前亲见，真不知身在何处，是人间还是天上？ 那少女还道他是个疯子，轻呼一声，向后退了两步，惊道：“你……你……” 段誉站起身来，他目光一直瞪视着那少女，这时看得更加清楚了些，终于发觉，眼前少女与那洞中玉像毕竟略有不同：玉像冶艳灵动，颇有勾魂摄魄之态，眼前少女却端庄中带有稚气，相形之下，倒是玉像比之眼前这少女更加活些，说道：“自那日在石洞之中，拜见神仙姊姊的仙范，已然自庆福缘非浅，不意今日更亲眼见到姊姊容颜。世间真有仙子，当非虚语也！” 那少女向小茗道：“他说什么？他……他是谁？”小茗道：“他就是阿朱、阿碧带来的那个书呆子。他说会种茶花，夫人倒信了他的胡说八道。”那少女问段誉道：“书呆子，刚才我和她说的话，你都听见了么？” 段誉笑道：“小生姓段名誉，大理国人氏，非书呆子也。神仙姊姊和这位小茗姊姊的言语，我无意之中都听到了，不过两位大可放心，小生决不泄漏片言只语，担保小茗姊姊决计不会受夫人责怪便是。” 那少女脸色一沉，道：“谁跟你姊姊妹妹的乱叫？你还不认是书呆子，你几时又见过我了？”段誉道：“我不叫你神仙姊姊，却叫什么？”那少女道：“我姓王，你叫我王姑娘就是。” 段誉摇头道：“不行，不行，天下姓王的姑娘何止千千万万，如姑娘这般天仙人物，如何也只称一声'王姑娘'？可是叫你作什么呢？那倒为难得紧了。称你作王仙子吗？似乎太俗气。叫你曼陀公主罢？大宋、大理、辽国、吐蕃、西夏，哪一国没有公主？哪一个能跟你相比？” 那少女听他口中念念有辞，越觉得他呆气十足，不过听他这般倾倒备至、失魂落魄的称赞自己美貌，终究也有点欢喜，微笑道：“总算你运气好，我妈没将你的两脚砍了。” 段誉道：“令堂夫人和神仙姊姊一般的容貌，只是性情特别了些，动不动就杀人，未免和这神仙体态不称……” 那少女秀眉微蹙，道：“你赶紧去种茶花罢，别在这里唠唠叨叨的，我们还有要紧话要说呢。”神态间便当他是个寻常花匠一般。 段誉却也不以为忤，只盼能多和她说一会儿话，能多瞧上她几眼，心想：“要引得她心甘情愿的和我说话，只有跟她谈论慕容公子，除此之外，她是什么事也不会放在心上的。”便道：“少林寺是武林中的泰山北斗，寺中高僧好手没有一千，也有八百，大都精通七十二般绝技。这次少林派玄悲大师在大理陆凉州身戒寺中人毒手而死，众和尚认定是'姑苏慕容'下的手。慕容公子孤身犯险，可大大不妥。” 那少女果真身子一震。段誉不敢直视她脸色，心下暗道：“她为了慕容复这小子而关心挂怀，我见了她的脸色，说不定会气得流下泪来。”但见到她藕色绸衫的下摆轻轻颤动，听到她比洞箫还要柔和的声调问道：“少林寺的和尚为什么冤枉'姑苏慕容'？你可知道么？你……你快跟我说。” 段誉听她这般低语央求，心肠一软，立时便想将所知说了出来，转念又想：“我所知其实颇为有限，只不过玄悲大师身中'韦陀杵'而死，大家说'以彼之道，还施彼身'的，天下就只'姑苏慕容'一家。这些情由，三言两语便说完了。我只一说完，她便又催我去种茶花，再要寻什么话题来跟她谈谈说说，那可不容易了。我得短话长说，小题大做，每天只说这么一小点儿，东拉西扯，不着边际，有多长就拖多长，叫她日日来寻我说话，只要寻我不着，那就心痒难搔。”于是咳嗽一声，说道：“我自己是不会武功的，什么'金鸡独立'、'黑虎偷心'，最容易的招式也不会一招。但我家里有一个朋友，姓朱，名叫朱丹臣，外号叫作'笔砚生'，你别瞧他文文弱弱的，好像和我一样，只道也是个书呆子，嘿，他的武功可真不小。有一天我见他把扇子一收拢，倒了转来，噗的一声，扇子柄在一条大汉的肩膀上这么一点，那条大汉便缩成了一团，好似一堆烂泥那样，动也不会动了。” 那少女道：“嗯，这是'清凉扇'法的打穴功夫，第三十八招'透骨扇'，倒转扇柄，斜打肩贞。这位朱先生是昆仑旁支、三因观门下的弟子，这一派的武功，用判官笔比用扇柄更是厉害。你说正经的罢，不用跟我说武功。” 这一番话若叫朱丹臣听到了，非佩服得五体投地不可，那少女不但说出了这一招的名称手法，连他的师承来历、武学家数，也都说得清清楚楚。假如另一个武学名家听了，比如是段誉的伯父段正明、父亲段正淳，也要大吃一惊：“怎地这个年轻姑娘，于武学之道见识竟如此渊博精辟？”但段誉全然不会武功，这姑娘轻描淡写的说来，他也只轻描淡写的听着。他也不知这少女所说的对不对，一双眼只是瞧着她淡淡的眉毛这么一轩，红红的嘴唇这么一撅，她说得对也好，错也好，全然的不在意下。 那少女问道：“那位朱先生怎么啦？”段誉指着绿竹旁的一张青石条凳，道：“这事说来话长，小姐请移尊步，到那边安安稳稳的坐着，然后待我慢慢的禀告。”那少女道：“你这人罗哩罗唆，爽爽快快不成么？我可没功夫听你的。”段誉道：“小姐今日没空，明日再来找我，那也可以。倘若明日无空，过得几日也是一样。只要夫人没将我的舌头割去，小姐但有所问，我自是知无不言，言无不尽。” 那少女左足在地下轻轻一顿，转过头不再理他，问小茗道：“夫人还说什么？”小茗道：“夫人说：'哼，乱子越惹越大了。结上了丐帮的冤家，又成了少林派的对头，只怕你姑苏慕容家死……死无葬身之地。'”那少女急道：“妈明知表少爷处境凶险，怎地毫不理会？”小茗道：“是。小姐，怕夫人要找我了，我得去啦！刚才的话，小姐千万别说是我说的，婢子还想服侍你几年呢。”那少女道：“你放心好啦。我怎会害你？”小茗告别而去。段誉见她目光中流露恐惧的神气，心想：“王夫人杀人如草芥，确是令人魂飞魄散。” 那少女缓步走到青石凳前，轻轻巧巧的坐了下来，却并不叫段誉也坐。段誉自然不敢贸然坐在她的身旁，但见一株白茶和她相距甚近，两株离得略远，美人名花，当真相得益彰，叹道：“'名花倾国两相欢'，不及，不及。当年李太白以芍药比喻杨贵妃之美，他若有福见到小姐，就知道花朵虽美，然而无娇嗔，无软语，无喜笑，无忧思，那是万万不及了。” 那少女幽幽的道：“你不停的说我很美，我也不知真不真。” 段誉大为奇怪，说道：“不知子都之美者，无目者也。于男子尚且如此，何况如姑娘这般惊世绝艳？想是你一生之中听到赞美的话太多，也听得厌了。” 那少女缓缓摇头，目光中露出了寂寞之意，说道：“从来没人对我说美还是不美。这曼陀山庄之中，除了我妈之外，都是婢女仆妇。她们只知道我是小姐，谁来管我是美是丑？”段誉道：“那么外面的人呢？”那少女道：“什么外面的人？”段誉道：“你到外面去，别人见到你这天仙般的美女，难道不惊喜赞叹、低头膜拜吗？”那少女道：“我从来不到外边去，到外边去干什么？妈妈也不许我出去。我到姑妈家的'还施水阁'去看书，也遇不上什么外人，不过是他的几个朋友邓大哥、公冶二哥、包三哥、风四哥他们，他们……又不像你这般呆头呆脑的。”说着微微一笑。 段誉道：“难道慕容公子……他也从来不说你很美吗？” 那少女慢慢的低下了头，只听得瑟的一下极轻极轻的声响，跟着又是这么一声，几滴眼泪滴在地下的青草上，晶莹生光，便如是清晨的露珠。 段誉不敢再问，也不敢说什么安慰的话。 过了好一会，那少女轻叹一声，说道：“他……他是很忙的，一年到头，从早到晚，没什么空闲的时候。他和我在一起时，不是跟我谈论武功，便是谈论国家大事。我……我讨厌武功。” 段誉一拍大腿，叫道：“不错，不错，我也讨厌武功。我伯父和我爹爹叫我学武，我说什么也不学，宁可偷偷的逃了出来。” 那少女一声长叹，说道：“我为了要时时见他，虽然讨厌武功，但看了拳经刀谱，还是牢牢记在心中，他有什么地方不明白，我就好说给他听。不过我自己却是不学的。女孩儿家抡刀使棒，总是不雅……”段誉打从心底里赞出来：“是啊，是啊！像你这样天下无双的美人儿，怎能跟人动手动脚，那太也不成话了。啊哟……”他突然想到，这句话可得罪了自己母亲。那少女却没留心他说些什么，续道：“那些历代帝皇将相，今天你杀我，明天我杀你的事，我实在不愿知道。可是他最爱谈这些，我只好去看这些书，说给他听。” 段誉奇道：“为什么要你看了说给他听，他自己不会看么？”那少女白了他一眼，嗔道：“你道他是瞎子么？他不识字么？”段誉忙道：“不，不！我说他是天下第一的好人，好不好？”他话是这么说，心中却忍不住一酸。 那少女嫣然一笑，说道：“他是我表哥。这庄子中，除了姑妈、姑丈和表哥外，很少有旁人来。但自从我姑丈去世之后，我妈跟姑妈吵翻了。我妈连表哥也不许来。我也不知他是不是天下最好的人。天下的好人坏人，我谁也见不到。”段誉道：“怎不问你爹爹？” 那少女道：“我爹爹早故世了，我没生下来，他就已故世了，我……我从来没见过他一面。”说着眼圈儿一红，又是泫然欲涕。 段誉道：“嗯，你姑妈是你爹爹的姊姊，你姑丈是你姑妈的丈夫，他……他……他是你姑妈的儿子。”那少女笑了出来，说道：“瞧你这般傻里傻气的。我是我妈妈的女儿，他是我的表哥。” 段誉见逗引得她笑了，甚是高兴，说道：“啊，我知道了，想是你表哥很忙，没功夫看书，因此你就代他看。”那少女道：“也可以这么说，不过另外还有原因的。我问你，少林寺的和尚们，为什么冤枉我表哥杀了他们少林派的人？” 段誉见她长长的睫毛上兀自带着一滴泪珠，心想：“前人云：'梨花一枝春带雨'，以此比拟美人之哭泣。可是梨花美则美矣，梨树却太过臃肿，而且雨后梨花，片片花朵上都是泪水，又未免伤心过分。只有像王姑娘这么，山茶朝露，那才美了。” 那少女等了一会，见他始终不答，伸手在他手背上轻轻一推，道：“你怎么了？”段誉全身一震，跳起身来，叫道：“啊哟！”那少女给他吓了一跳，道：“怎么？”段誉满脸通红，道：“你手指在我手背上一推，我好像给你点了穴道。” 那少女睁着圆圆的眼睛，不知他在说笑，说道：“这边手背上没有穴道的。'液门'、'中渚'、'阳池'三穴都在掌缘，'前豁'、'养老'两穴近手腕了，离得更远。”她说着伸出自己手背来比划。 段誉见到她左手食指
