Everything starts from Tian Long Ba Bu

Chapter 35 Mantuo Villa
  Taihu Lake has vast green waves.

In the early morning, a small boat floated on the lake.

Looking from a distance, I saw Murong Fu standing on the bow of the boat, and behind him were two girls, A'Zhu and A Bi, who were steering the boat themselves.

When the boat turned around a row of weeping willows, I saw from a distance a cluster of flowers and trees by the water, reflecting the water and shining like clouds.

"Sir, right ahead is the island where my uncle and wife live!"

A'Zhu, who was wearing a light crimson gauze shirt, saw this and reminded him.

"After we land on the island later, you two girls, please don't speak casually. My uncle has disliked us for a long time, so don't hate her again because of this!"

Looking at the shore not far away, Murong Fu seemed to remember something, and gave another warning before leaving.

"Sir, we know!"

Seeing Murong Fu's serious tone, A'Zhu, who had always been a naughty elf, nodded hurriedly with A Bi.

The two girls had also heard about the scolding incident between Wang's wife and the old woman in their early years. With Murong Fu's advice, the two of them would naturally be extremely careful.

When A'Zhu continued to turn the wooden oar, the boat sailed straight towards the camellia tree. When it reached the shore, as far as the eye could see, it was filled with red and white camellias, but no houses could be seen.

If others see this, they will definitely be amazed!
  Just because the colorful red and white camellia in front of you is the unique camellia in Dali.

It should be noted that among the camellias, the one produced in Yunnan is the most famous, and is known as "Dian tea" in the world.

This camellia is also called jade tea, and has another name called datura flower. My uncle and wife’s village is named after Mantuo, and its meaning is not difficult to guess!
  Thinking of this, Murong Fu couldn't help but sigh. The Zhennan King of Dali was indeed very capable. After so many years, his uncle and wife still could not forget their old love for him.

Within a short while, the boat had docked, and Murong Fu and his two daughters boarded the island.

He took his two daughters to the island in person this time to visit his uncle and wife who had been living in Mantuo Villa for a long time.

Due to the gap between my mother and my uncle's wife during her lifetime, the two families had not had formal contact for a long time. Now Murong Fu personally landed on the island, not only because he wanted to ease the relationship between the two families, but also because he had an appointment with his cousin earlier.

In fact, in the final analysis, the conflict between the two families is not irreconcilable!

It's just that the original person was arrogant and arrogant earlier. After knowing that his uncle's wife was prejudiced against the Murong family, he became more and more reluctant to bow down.

But to be fair, my uncle's so-called view of the Murong family is not entirely biased.

The Murong family has been trying to restore the country for generations, but both Murong Bo and Murong Fu are just friends with a bunch of roughnecks, and these people are completely useless to the restoration of the country.

And after many years, the Murong family is still trapped in Yanziwu in Taihu Lake.

The so-called reputation is only limited to the world.

If you want money but not money, if you want people, you only have four generals. How can you talk about restoring the country with just these people?
  Even if they say something that is inconsistent with their current status, most of the Murong family are people with "hearts as high as the sky and lives as thin as paper"!
  Both Murong Bo and the original person undoubtedly fit this sentence.

Therefore, after Brother Bao and his men personally escorted the treasures in Langhuan Jade Cave back to Yanziwu, Murong Fu had the idea of ​​visiting his uncle and his wife in person.

Murong Fu specially selected a box of gifts from the original jewelry of Emperor Jianwen, and prepared to board the ship with his two daughters to visit in person.

The two daughters, Jiao Wan'er and He Tieshou, were temporarily left in Yanziwu by Murong Fu. The reason was also very simple, that is, her uncle-in-law had a weird temper and did not want outsiders to enter Mantuo Villa at will. .

There is another reason and that is what to do with the jewelry.

Due to the original agreement with Mu Renqing, most of the treasures of Emperor Jianwen obtained by Murong Fu were jade, pearls, agate, jade and other items that were difficult to sell and resell.

As a collection of the Ming Dynasty Palace, the quality of these jewelry is naturally of the highest quality. However, because of this, it was even more difficult to resell in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty.

Now in this prosperous Jiangnan, these rare treasures have naturally become extremely popular.

However, it is naturally unrealistic to dispose of these treasures at once, so one person is needed to operate them. Although the four brothers, Bao San Ge, are highly skilled in martial arts, they are not familiar with business affairs, so in the end Murong Fu entrusted the matter to Jiao Wan'er.

Unlike Brother Bao and the other four, Jiao Wan'er has been handling the affairs of the Golden Dragon Gang for Jiao Gongli very early. She is thoughtful, smart and capable, so it is naturally most appropriate for her to handle this matter.

Knowing that He Tieshou would be bored staying alone on the island, Murong Fu also sent her to temporarily assist Jiao Wan'er.

Jiao Wan'er lived up to Murong Fu's expectations and soon opened a Zhenbao Pavilion in Suzhou City. In just a few days, the name of Zhenbao Pavilion became a household name in the city.

……

After landing on the island, Murong Fu and his two daughters walked forward for less than ten steps when they suddenly heard footsteps in the flower forest and a young servant girl in green clothes walked out. When the young servant girl in green saw outsiders rashly landing on the island, she scolded them: "Who are you? Have you forgotten the rules of Mantuo Villa?"

"Sister, have you forgotten me?"

When A'Zhu saw this, he stood up with a smile.

"It turns out to be sister A'Zhu!"

When the young servant girl in green saw A'Zhu, her expression softened.

"This is my young master. He came here specially to visit my uncle and wife today!" A'Zhu introduced respectfully.

"It turns out to be Mr. Murong!" When the young servant girl in green heard this, she couldn't help but look a little frightened, and she hurriedly saluted.

"I wonder if my uncle and wife are in the village right now?"

Murong Fu knew the rules of Mantuo Villa and asked directly without blaming Dao.

His wife-in-law had made some strange rules in Mantuo Villa. If someone came uninvited and broke into Mantuo Villa, his feet would be cut off, and sometimes the person would be sent to the Flower and Fat House to be given to the steward When my mother-in-law makes fertilizer, she sometimes just throws people off the island and leaves them to die.

In the final analysis, it originated from the Zhennan King of Dali.

Knowing these past events, Murong Fu would not be surprised.

Since the death of his uncle, the two families had rarely interacted with each other, not to mention that Murong Fu had observed mourning for three years, so it was not surprising that the servants in the villa did not recognize him.

And A'jun is familiar with the young lady in green at Mantuo Villa, probably because of her cousin.

"Young master, my wife is in the village now!" the young servant girl in green replied respectfully.

Murong Fu said: "Then report it for me!"

Hearing this, the young servant girl in green clothes bowed respectfully to Murong Fu and said, "Master, please wait a moment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly ran towards the villa. This Mantuo Villa didn't look big, but it was full of rules.

Once the rules are violated, even the maids and servants in the village will not be exempted from punishment.

Looking at this scene, Murong Fu couldn't help but shake his head.

The difference in the relationship between the two families can be seen from this. Although they are close to each other, they have rarely interacted with each other for many years. No wonder the original body would have no pressure to take action against her in the original trajectory.

Within a moment, two old women appeared quickly in front of them.

One of them is thin and the other is fat. The old woman on the left is full of white hair and short, while the old woman on the right is fat and fat, which is a sharp contrast.

When the two of them saw Murong Fu from a distance, they took the initiative to salute and said: "Mr. Murong, our lady has invited you!"

"Then I'll bother you two mothers-in-law!"

When Murong Fu heard this, he looked calm and said.

Compared to his indifference, the two daughters A'Zhu and A Bi behind him had slightly wrinkled noses, obviously quite dissatisfied with their uncle's concubine's contempt for their young master.

This is why A'Zhu and A Bi don't know the origin of his aunt. Although these two old women are far inferior to him in martial arts, they are still considered to be rare masters in the world!
  And as far as he knew, his uncle was only a wealthy local businessman in the south of the Yangtze River during his lifetime, and had little contact with people in the world. Naturally, the two old women in front of him who were proficient in martial arts could not be servants of the Wang family.

In this way, it is not difficult to guess that these two old women can only be the subordinates of his uncle and wife, or perhaps the subordinates of the Xixia Princess!
  Just because his uncle-in-law is the daughter of Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui!

As the daughter of the Princess of Xixia, his maternal uncle was naturally qualified to look down on the long-declined Murong family.

Therefore, Murong Fu was not surprised to see his aunt treating him so coldly.

Murong Fu's guess was indeed correct. These two old women were Li Qingluo's personal followers.

As long as Wang Yuyan can remember, the two of them have served their mother.

"Mr. Murong, please!"

Seeing Murong Fu's expression as usual, Granny Rui and Granny Ping couldn't help but have a hint of surprise in their eyes at the same time. Then they put away the contempt in their hearts and took the initiative to lead the way.
