Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 97: Fish flying on shallow bottom, sudden changes

After Bai Sheng and his wife were settled, Yang Lin said: "Master, I am going to Anle Village. Due to my birthday, I deliberately took a detour to Huangnigang. Although more than a month has passed since this incident, traces of fighting can still be seen on the mountain. Nowadays, too many pedestrians dare not pass by. At the foot of the mountain, [Jiu Hai Hua Jia], it is not an exaggeration to say that there was a lot of traffic, but a constant flow of people.

This time I went, and it was deserted. After asking Huayue, I learned that there had been no business for more than a month, so I wanted to abandon the business here and move to the county to make a living. I heard the owner of the winery say that he wanted to collect some wine recipes, so I asked, but I never thought Huayue would actually agree. I bought it for five taels of gold. "With that said, Yang Lin took out a newly copied wine recipe and handed it to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen took it and looked at it, and saw that it said "Huajia Baijiu" with complete steps of making koji, mixing ingredients, fermentation and distillation. It was a kind of brewed wine, which was different from the Yicheng wine presented by the Zhong family. This wine is divided into big wine and small wine.

The big wine, "waxed fermented wine is steamed and released in the summer". It is stored in the cellar for a winter and spring. The wine has a mellow aroma and a soft texture in the mouth.

Small wine, "from spring to autumn, brewed as soon as possible", without cooking, the color of the wine will be white, similar to sake, also known as raw wine. Raw wine is clearer than snow, boiled wine is as red as blood. This wine is refreshing and best for relieving the heat.

After seeing it, Zhao Zhen was very happy and said: "Brother Yang Lin, from now on, Liangshan Township will have another fine wine, thanks to this brother's contribution."

After hearing this, Yang Lin said: "By chance, and thanks to the owner Hongfu, I just wanted to take a look at Huangnigang, but I didn't expect to get this recipe." Immediately, Zhao Zhen sent someone to send the wine recipe to make wine. The workshop also asked Zhong Rang and his son to brew a batch for drinking in the village and tavern.

The two chatted for a while, and Yang Lin hesitated and said, "Master, there is one more thing that I need to talk to the master about."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, it's okay to just say it."

Yang Lin said: "My little brother has been living in the world since he was a child, and has made acquaintance with some people in the world. There are also a few good guys among them. They all live in the green forest. I wonder if the owner of the village is willing to accept it?"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "Brother Yang Lin is indeed my lucky general. As soon as he arrived at the village, gold was found in the village. He invited Brother Bai Sheng and got a wine recipe. Now there are good men recommending him. Brother, I just say it's okay. There's nothing wrong with it. Not satisfied."

Yang Lin said: "The first person's surname is Deng Mingfei. He was originally from the Xiangyang Prefecture of the Gaitian Army. He was good at using an iron chain. He was born with red eyes and was known as the Fire-Eyed Suanni. He was bullied by the promotion officer for transporting flowers and stones, and he became angry. I killed the promotion officer and fled to the rivers and lakes. Now I heard that the grass fell in Yinma River. Will the owner of the village dare to accept this person?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, you also need to know that not to mention that my realm does not have much contact with the outside world. Even if it is connected in the future, I will make the decision here. At the worst, you can follow me to another realm. Once you arrive, There is no need to worry about the boundaries of my land."

Yang Lin listened and nodded: "The second one is called Shi Yong. He is from BJ Damingfu. He only makes a living by gambling and is nicknamed "General Shi". He killed someone because of gambling and hid in the green forest. In the past, There are many partners, but now I don’t know where to live.”

Zhao Zhen said: "I have heard of this person before. I remembered that Brother Song Wan came to surrender a few days ago. He said that he had met General Shi at Chai Daguan's place. I think he is still here now."

Yang Lin said: "In this case, it is difficult to recruit Shi Yong. Chai Daguan has an iron certificate of alchemy, so he can naturally be protected. This person will not mention it.

The other two are uncles and nephews. One is named Zou and named Yuan. He is from Laizhou. He has been gambling since he was a child and was born in a leisurely manner. He is a loyal and generous person, and he is also good at martial arts. He is called Lin Long in the world.

The second hero, named Zou Run, is his nephew. They are about the same age, taller, born with a first-class abnormality, and a sarcoma on the back of his head. But when he got into a fight with someone and got angry, he bumped his head off and broke a pine tree by the stream, so he was called a unicorn dragon. I heard that the two of them have now returned to Jingdong East Road and are falling grass in Dengyun Mountain."

Zhao Zhen said: "The village is in need of such heroes. Now the road to the salt field in the north has been opened. From now on, we will go to the salt field several times a year. We need the protection of these heroes of the green forest. They are all loyal heroes. We and I compete with each other every day." Great, it’s good to have wine and have fun.”

Yang Lin said: "In that case, tomorrow I will first go to Yinmachuan on Hebei East Road to look for Deng Fei, and then go to Dengyun Mountain to look for Zou Yuan and Zou Run."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, why bother fighting for just one or two days? It's not too late to take a rest at the village before setting off again. I see that Bai Sheng is also smart. I will rest for a few days and be your companion. There will also be people to take care of you on the way. Wouldn’t it be better?”

Yang Lin heard this and said: "This is the best."

At that moment, the two agreed, and Yang Lin also said goodbye and left the East Garden to compete with other heroes with guns and sticks.

As noon approached, the village became more and more lively. All village officials and garrison officers came to the village and gathered in the east garden. Everyone had a simple lunch, except for a fish leaping over the dragon gate made of a four-tailed carp.

After lunch, tables and chairs had already begun to be arranged in Dongyuan. Zhao Zhen saw that there were many heroes but he could not help, and he could not show off his martial arts skills. Bai Zhi, Zhao Yuanli, Zhao Ji, and Ding Chou were all in charge of the village, and Zhao Zhen took everyone to Baishigang Pagoda Temple to enjoy the cool air.

A group of more than thirty people, each armed with weapons, rode on horseback. After a while, they saw Baishi Gang from a distance. At this time, Baishi Gang had changed greatly. There is a pagoda temple on the hill on the east side, and many houses have been built on the hill on the west side, and the garden has begun to take shape. From a distance, you can see pavilions, pavilions, ponds, pavilions, and pavilions, reflected in the green pines and cypresses; rockeries, rocks, bonsai flower beds, wisterias, and green bamboos are all dotted among them.

The entire Gangzi has a courtyard wall two people high, made of white stone, which shines brightly in the sunlight. Nowadays, Baota Temple has become a part of the garden. There are still many villagers digging dirt outside the courtyard wall. Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Master, there are many villagers digging dirt outside the garden for something."

Tao Zongwang said: "Seventh brother, this Baishi Gang goes deep into the lake and is surrounded by water on three sides: east, west and north. But now we need to dig a three-foot-wide river on the south side to draw the lake water, so that the entire Baishi Gang becomes like a lake." Zhongdao. From now on, it will be easier for the villagers to inspect the garden, and the garden will naturally be safer."

Ruan Xiaowu said: "This is good. If we build another pier on the north side, it will be more convenient to go to Liangshan in the future."

Zhao Zhen said: "Indeed"

When everyone came to the garden gate, the villager had already opened the garden gate. Yang Lin, Bai Sheng and others came here for the first time and had not seen the scenery here yet, so they couldn't help but be stunned. Everyone shouted: "What a beautiful garden." They all praised Tao Zongwang.

Entering the gate, there is first a school ground about 22 feet long from north to south and 65 feet wide from east to west. Rice husks are sandwiched with loess and rolled tightly with stone rollers. Later, it was a place for military training and competition. Next to the school grounds, there are two rows of houses in the east and west, neatly arranged, followed by the residences of villagers, villagers and heroes. The lake water drawn from the Baishi Valley separates the school grounds from the Baishi Hill behind, and is connected by two stone bridges. Further on, we arrived at the Baishi Valley Spirit Field. There were scattered construction sites everywhere on the hillside, building pavilions, houses, digging ponds, or planting trees. Today Zhao Zhen and others are still sitting under the grape trellis. Everyone talks about the activities of heroes in the world and competes in martial arts.

By the time the sun was about to set, the heroes had become familiar with each other. They laughed and cursed and discussed martial arts. There were those who were weak in ability, such as Du Qian, Song Wan, Bai Sheng, and Tao Zongwang, who sincerely asked for advice, while those who were highly capable did not hide their selfish intentions and gave their best advice. Seeing that the time was approaching, Zhao Zhen urged everyone to go to the manor to drink, but everyone was still unsatisfied.

When everyone returned to Zhuangzi, they saw red lanterns beside the door, and the courtyard was decorated with red silk, making it look festive. All the heroes went to the East Garden to change their clothes, and then took their seats. Zhao Zhen also put on a red robe and went to the home of Mr. Jin to pick up Jin Cuilian in a sedan chair. Needless to say, there was a lot of excitement after the process was completed.

Zhao Zhen and other heroes drank until midnight before returning to the Jin Cuilian house in the backyard to rest.

Today, Cuilian is also like the angelica, wearing a phoenix crown on her head, a Xiapei, and a red square scarf covering her face. The upper body is an embroidered red robe, and the lower body is wearing a red skirt, red trousers, and red satin embroidered shoes. The male is red and the female is green, which means that the male wears crimson red, which indicates power. Women wear green clothes, which symbolizes wealth and honor, so green is the color of the wedding dress of the head wife. Cuilian is a concubine, so naturally she cannot wear green, so red, which symbolizes happiness, has become the first choice for concubines.

Zhao Zhen pushed the door open and went in. Jin Cuilian sat quietly on the bed, holding [Yun Xi] in her arms. Zhao Zhen stepped forward, lifted his hijab, and drank the Hexin wine.

Zhao Zhen asked: "Cuilian, have you eaten yet?"

Jin Cuilian: "Sister Zhi brought food and ate it with me, and stayed with me for a long time before leaving."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Yes, Madam Zhi is easy to get along with, and she should be like this in the future."

Jin Cuilian said: "Master, the slave family remembers that the wedding was organized by Sister Zhi. The slave family is grateful for the benefits of my sister in this life."

After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Zhen and said shyly: "Master, it's late at night, let's get some rest." After saying that, he opened the box at the end of the bed. Zhao Zhen looked and saw that it was Bai Zhi's bottom.

Zhao Zhen picked one at random and saw a man and a woman dependent on each other, following each other like shadows, like a pair of koi fish, drifting with the current, enjoying themselves in the water.

On the lid of the box it says [Fish Xiang Qian Di].

After taking a closer look, Jin Cuilian took off her red wedding dress and only wore a pink bellyband called "Mandarin Ducks Playing in the Water". Under the lamp, the snow appears to be covered with white skin,

The real thing: a delicate fragrance that eliminates jade snow on the skin and attracts endless reveries.

The two imitated the man in the box and moved once.

Afterwards, Jin Cuilian got up and wiped it, and the two fell asleep hugging each other.

The next day, Jin Cuilian woke up early, dressed up, and then woke up Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen woke up and saw that Jin Cuilian was very different today from when he first met her:

The gold hairpin is inserted diagonally to cover up the dark clouds; the green sleeves are skillfully cut to cover the auspicious snow.

The mouth of the cherry is slightly reddish, and the spring bamboo shoots are tender and tender.

Her waist is slender and graceful, her red skirt reveals golden lotuses; her body is light, and her red opera embroidered jacket is more suitable for a jade body.

The face is covered with delicate flowers in March, and the eyebrows are brushed with tender willows in early spring. The fragrant skin flutters against the moon on the Yaoyao platform, and the green temples cage the pines and Xiuyun clouds.

Zhao Zhen had some activities in the courtyard before going to the main hall to have breakfast. Zhao Zhen sat down, Bai Zhi sat on Zhao Zhen's right hand, and Jin Cuilian on the left.

Just when Zhao Zhen was about to eat, Jin Cuilian stood up, picked up a cup of tea, offered a toast to Angelica dahurica, and said: "Thank you very much, sister, for taking the trouble to take care of Cuilian. I will deeply appreciate it."

Bai Zhi took the tea ceremony and said: "We will all be a family from now on, so we just need to get along well."

After the meal, Bai Zhi went to the medical clinic to sit in the hall, and Jin Cuilian went back to the backyard to rest. After recruiting the singer's apprentice, she went to the tavern to teach. Today, Zhao Zhen took advantage of the fact that the villages were in charge of affairs and all the heroes were there, so he took advantage of the opportunity to discuss matters in Liangshan Township.

They all sat down in the front hall, with three rows of seats on the left hand side. In order, they are housekeeper Zhao Yuanli, guard leader Zhao Ji, Xixi Village Zheng Dingchou and Li Liang, Dongxi Village Zhengtang Tian and Zhu Yingchun, Echang steward Wu He, Kushu Tunli Zheng Tangsen and Chao Cuo, and Liangcun Village Zhengsun. Zheng, Tian Dasheng, Li You, the steward of Liangshan Ranch, Chao Ning, the steward of Zhangzhuang, Tang Ding, the steward of the bee farm, Zhang Wang, the township assistant, Wang Lun, the white-clothed scholar who heads the township school, Zhu Sha, the steward of the township fishing team, and various workshops There are 28 people in total including shop stewards Li Gu, Zhong Rang and his son, Bai Duo and his son, Li Xiaoer and his wife, Zhang Da, Yang Mazi, Yun Ge, and Yin Danzi Li Er.

On the right hand side, everyone showed humility to each other, with Zhan Hui at the top, followed by Chao Gai, followed by Jiao Ting, San Ruan, Liu Tang, Bao Xu, Han Bolong, Tao Zongwang, Du Qian, Song Wan, Yang Lin, and Bai Sheng, totaling 14 people. Only Wu Yong and Shi Qian went out on business and did not return.

Zhao Zhen looked at the crowd gathered together. Before he could speak, the token in his arms suddenly vibrated three times in a row. Zhao Zhen couldn't help but change his expression. But it was an emergency that Zhao Zhen had agreed upon with his father Zhao Jin and manager Tian Lei. He called three times in a row and returned quickly.

Immediately Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, something happened in my world. Today's discussion ends here. The leaders of each village are returning to their own villages." Zhao Yuanli led the people to disperse first, leaving only the heroes here. Seeing that all the stewards had left, Zhao Zhen said again: "Brothers, please dress up and get ready, gather the local soldiers, and as soon as the drums sound in our village, come and get them all."

After telling everyone to prepare, Zhao Zhen immediately returned to the main world.
