Chapter 342
Xu Shu couldn't help but exclaim: "This third young man really has a gully in his chest! Looking at the layout of the backyard, although it seems messy, it is in line with the natural way. He is in it and is like being between mountains, rivers and lakes, which makes people feel relaxed!" Ailang said angrily: "Dachang is nothing! It's so messy, I don't know where his study is!" Xu Shu laughed, "It's okay, just find a servant and maid to ask." Then he looked around and wanted to find a servant and maid who passed by here to ask for directions. But beyond the expectations of the two, they looked around for a while and didn't even see half of their figure. It seemed that all the servants and maids in this family suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
Xu Shu suddenly looked moved and said with a smile: "I guess the servants and maids are all preparing for the banquet in the front yard, so they are not in the back yard." Then he said: "Let's go back to the front yard to find someone to lead the way." Ai Lang waved his hand impatiently, "There is no need. I look at the study room near the front yard..." Then he pointed to the path hidden in the bamboo forest on his right hand, and said with a smile: "Walk to this side, the study room must be in front." As he said that, he had already walked over. Xu Shu smiled and followed.
After walking for a while, the two felt that the atmosphere around them seemed to be quieter and quieter. The voices could no longer be heard. Two night owls cried out in the woods next to them, which made them feel as if they were in the wilderness. Ailang stopped and looked around. He saw that there was a small dark and quiet bamboo house not far from the bamboo forest. Ailang said: "That bamboo house must not be a study. It's really strange! Why did you walk like you were going to the wilderness? Cao Zhi was really able to tossed out. He actually tossed out his backyard like this, and he was not afraid of being haunted at night!"
Xu Shu frowned and said, "Young Master, it's not good for us to go around in the backyard of other people's houses. Let's go back first." Ailang felt that what Xu Shu said was, and immediately turned around and returned. Not long after walking, Ailang suddenly stopped and frowned and said, "No, right! The place we came here didn't look like this! Are we lost?" Xu Shu looked around and felt that it was not like the place where the two of us had just arrived. He smiled bitterly: "It seems that we are really lost."
Ailang smiled and said, "Since that's the case, just find a direction and keep walking. This place is not really in the wilderness. Can you really get lost?" He looked up and looked around, and saw a few lights faintly behind the shadows of trees in front of the right. He pointed to the other side and said, "At least there must be someone there, let's go there!" Then he walked towards the right. Xu Shu had no good idea at this time, so he had to follow Ailang.
This time, the two of them were guided by lights and did not get lost. They walked through a few woods and walked through several corridors. A gorgeous courtyard surrounded by the lake immediately caught their eyes. A five-story pavilion in the courtyard was reflected in the lake water in the dusk. The scene was very beautiful, just like a beautiful woman standing by the shore of the lake!
Ailang didn't think so much, and immediately walked towards the yard. Xu Shu hurriedly grabbed Ailang. Ailang asked in confusion: "Old Xu, what's wrong?" Xu Shu looked at the courtyard in front of him and said: "This courtyard is beautiful and elegant, obviously the residence of women's family! We are here to visit, and trespassing into the residence of women's family is a very rude behavior. Let's leave quickly!" Ailang laughed and scolded: "In ancient times, there were many famous things!" Xu Shu didn't understand what Ailang said. Ailang had turned around and left, saying: "Let's go! Don't be caught and treated as a flower-picking thief!" Xu Shu hurriedly followed. Ailang said as if he was self-deprecating: "It's such a joke today. We are here to visit, but we got lost in someone's house!" Xu Shu couldn't help but smile.
"Hey! You two!..." A girl's cry suddenly came from behind.
The two of them couldn't help but stop and looked back. They saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl standing not far away with her waist and staring with her eyes wide open. Ailang asked with a smile, "You taught us?" The little girl said angrily: "Who else can you do if I didn't ask you? I'll ask you, who are you? How dare you trespass here?"
Ailang smiled and said, "Little girl, we are not trespassing, we are..." Ailang originally wanted to say, 'We came here because we got lost, but I felt that I was embarrassed if I said this?' So he stopped talking and changed his words: "We are both guests invited by the third young master. The third young master asked us to walk around in the backyard." The little girl was surprised and looked at the two of them with a look of disbelief, muttering: "A like a robber coming down from the mountain, and the other like a charlatan who cheated on children. Will the third young master invite you?" Ailang and Xu Shu smiled at each other, and Ailang joked: "Old Xu, it turns out that you are a charlatan who cheated on children?" Xu Shu also smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you, a robber coming down from the mountain!" The two couldn't help laughing.
The little girl snorted and said angrily: "What's so funny! You guys are like that!" Then she said domineeringly: "You wait, I'll report to the wife and let the wife decide." After that, she turned around and ran back to the yard regardless of whether Ailang and Xu Shu agreed.
Ai Lang curled his lips and said angrily: "A little girl is so arrogant! No matter how she is, let's go!" Xu Shu smiled and advised: "Why do you have to be as good as her? Since the hostess here discovered us, it's better to meet her!" Ai Lang felt that what Xu Shu said made sense, so he nodded and calmed down his patience.
After a while, the little maid ran back and said to the two proudly: "Madam doesn't believe you are the guests invited by the third prince! Madam said that you two are clearly robbers from outside! But Madam doesn't plan to ask someone to arrest you immediately. Madam said that since you claim to be guests invited by the third prince, you must be good at poetry and lyrics. If you can make a song or a poem within an incense stick of incense, you will believe your words and let you go. Otherwise, you will immediately summon the guards to take you down and send you to the government for processing! You understand!" After that, he took out a burning incense of thread and said: "When this incense of thread is burned, you must make it. Otherwise, hum, just wait to lie in the jail!"
Xu Shu smiled and said, "I'll do it."
Ailang waved his hand and said, "If I don't make a poem, the mistress here will definitely not give up, so I'll do it." The little maid said angrily: "Each of you has to make one, no one can escape!"
Ailang smiled, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said in a pretentious manner: "Tonight the bright moon reminds me of some past events." He glanced at the little maid, "Listen!" Then he walked to the lake, and said softly with his hands behind his back: "The mist and clouds are sad forever, and the auspicious brains will be eliminated. The festival is Double Ninth Festival, and the jade pillows and gauze cabinets are cool in the middle of the night. After the east fence, there is a faint fragrance filling the sleeves. Don't say that you don't lose your soul, the curtain rolls up the west wind, and people are thinner than the yellow flowers." As soon as Ailang finished thinking, a woman's cry came from the pavilion. It was obviously an amazement that could not help but make her sigh.
The little maid stared at Ailang with an incredible look, as if she had seen the most incredible monster.
At this time, another little maid rushed to the side of the little maid and whispered something. Then the two little maids turned around and ran into the courtyard.
Ailang said angrily: "What the hell is it? I won't say this poem?" Even though Ailang said that, he was actually full of confidence in his poem. You must know that although he was a pussy, the poem he read was a masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages. It was a poem created by Li Qingzhao in the Song Dynasty, called "Drunk Flowers, Double Ninth Festival". Ailang would never believe that any scholar would be unmoved when he heard this poem! The so-called masterpiece is that it can make people feel absolutely amazing when singing it!
Not long after, the little maid ran out again. He rushed straight to Ailang. This time he bowed respectfully and said, "Madam said, I admire Mr. Husband very much, and I want to ask Mr. Husband to leave his name with a noble name." Ailang laughed, "My name is Ailang." The little maid was stunned, then glared at Ailang with a red face, and said unhappy: "You are really annoying! Why are you talking nonsense! How can you be such a name?" Ailang sighed, spread his hands and said helplessly: "I can't do anything! Whoever asked my parents to name me wouldn't discuss it with me!" The little maid burst out laughing and said angrily: "You are just like to say strange things!" After pausing, he asked, "You really call me, love, love, this name?" Ailang nodded and said seriously: "Of course it's true! If you change it with a fake one!"
The little maid burst into laughter and turned around and ran back. Seeing this, Ailang hurriedly shouted: "Hey, hey, wait a moment!" The little maid stopped and turned around, looking at Ailang in confusion.
Ailang smiled, "Well, we can't tell the difference between the east, south, west and north as we are spinning in this backyard. Can you take us out?" The little maid was stunned, smiled hurriedly, and said, "I'll go and ask my wife to answer you!" As he said that, he trotted into the yard.
After a while, the little maid ran out again and said with a smile: "Madam understands your difficulties, and especially ask me to take you out. Come with me." As he said that, he walked forward. Ailang and Xu Shu looked at each other and followed.
Seeing this little maid lively and cute, Ailang couldn't help but like it very much and asked, "Little sister, what's your name?" "My name is Xiaohong. This is much more serious than your name!" Ailang was stunned and couldn't figure out what the other party meant for a moment. Why was his name not serious?
Xiaohong led Ailang and Xu Shu around for a long time, and finally arrived at the arch where the two of them had entered. Xiaohong stopped and pointed to the outside of the arch and said, "There was the front yard in the past. Don't get lost anymore! I'm leaving!" Without waiting for Ailang to speak, he turned around and trotted. Ailang looked at Xiaohong's departure back, laughed and said, "This little girl is so cute!"
