The most powerful film and television lottery

Chapter 332
Shen Mu was greatly surprised.Neither did he expect Shang Xiuxun to be so crispy, nor did he expect that the income of a pastry chef could be so lucrative, so a strange feeling filled his heart.

Shang Xiuxun didn't wait for them to agree, and said: "I will have a lot of guests these few days, you two are as good as your cakes, but your eyes are not bright, but I don't mind, I will give them to you during the banquet." Come out to greet guests, or I will explain to you how to make these strange cakes."

The two had no choice but to nod in response.After Shang Xiuxun stretched her waist in an incomparable way, she stood up and they hurriedly saw them off.

Shang Xiuxun said casually: "The ranch has its own rules, and offenders will be severely punished. Even the second deacon can't protect you. The head steward will be responsible for explaining this to you. After saying that, I didn't look back.

The two looked at each other.After Shen Mu was sure that she had left, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This beauty is beautiful and powerful, do you think she has seen through us?"

Xu Ziling smiled wryly: "It's hard to say, but this woman can attract any man to death."

Shen Mu sympathized and said: "She is blessed by nature. Not only does she have a peerless beauty, but she also has an inadvertently charming style. As for wealth, power, and martial arts, she is also indebted. Hey! Are you interested?"

Xu Ziling said unhappily: "I still say such things when my heart is moved. Believe it or not, I will beat you up?"

Familiar footsteps approached from far away, Xiaojuan happily rushed in with the fragrant wind, and said coquettishly: "The owner is willing to hire you! I will take you to see the big housekeeper now."

Xiaojuan led them to the gate of the main hall of the steward's mansion, and motioned for them to stop, while she crossed the threshold and respectfully said to those sitting in the hall: "Boss, the two little masters are here."

The two peeped in, and saw that there was a lot of smoke, not only the smoke from the smoking pipe, but also the smoke from the sandalwood burner placed on the corner table, forming a smell that filled the hall.

A burly, bald man was reclining on a reclining chair, being massaged by two seductive women.

The chief steward of the Pegasus Ranch was holding a cigarette stick and puffing, looking leisurely, with his head resting on a high soft cushion, and looking at the beams of the roof, he said spontaneously: "It's really rare to have such a good skill at such a young age." .”

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling had no choice but to listen, secretly thinking that this person's airs were even greater than that of the owner, Shang Xiuxun.

From the side profile, the head butler should be about fifty years old, with a straight nose, a curved upper lip and a slightly upturned lower lip, which are quite attractive, showing that he has a strong personality and confidence.

Shang Zhen said a little to himself: "When you enter my ranch, you must abide by the rules of my ranch. Those who break the rules will be punished according to the severity. Do you understand?"

The two quickly agreed.

Shang Zhen turned his head and glanced at them, then looked at the roof again, coughed dryly and said, "We rarely hire outsiders, but this trip is special, so I have nothing to say."

He paused for a moment, his eyes flashed coldly, and he stared sideways at the two of them and said, "Although you are wearing clothes with our Pegasus logo, you are still not considered ranch people, unless you can follow the rules within three years, It has to be recommended by a deacon-level person and approved by the owner of the venue, otherwise it is still an outsider, understand?"

Only from his sharp gaze, it can be seen that his internal strength has reached the realm of a first-class master. No wonder Pegasus Ranch is so detached from the world's disputes.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling still had no choice but to nod in response.

Shang Zhen looked back up, took a puff of cigarette, and slowly exhaled: "Outsiders have rules that outsiders have to abide by. First of all, you must never have an affair with any woman in the ranch. If you want a woman, you can go to a brothel in a nearby town when you are on vacation. Go and solve it, or you will be eunuchs."

Xiaojuan, who was across the threshold from the two of them, lowered her head, her ears turned red.

The two felt embarrassed.

Shang Zhen continued calmly: "Unless there is special approval, you are not allowed to leave the inner castle without permission. As for other rules, Liang Qian will explain them to you in detail. Step back!"

After seeing Liang Qian and returning to the dormitory, it was already the first shift, so Xiaojuan said goodbye to the two of them and went back to the owner's mansion.

Shen Mu sniffed himself, sniffed Xu Ziling, and suggested: "We have such a greasy smell, and we have to squeeze the two of us into the same bed, how can we sleep, why don't we go to the bathroom and take a cold bath of his mother happily .Anyway, there is no such rule in the family law that you are not allowed to get up late, so let's sleep on his mother's day."

Xu Ziling frowned and said, "But where is the bathhouse? Now everyone is hiding in bed and looking for their dreams, and it's impossible to find someone to ask for directions."

Shen Mu said: "I just saw some houses showing lights, and the bathhouse should not be a few miles away, so we asked while searching. Hey! Let's take it as a warm-up exercise before going to the 'Gongyang Treasure'. It's done!"

Xu Ziling finally agreed, and the two each picked up another set of clean uniforms and went out of the room.

The huge courtyard was quiet and deserted, except for their room, the other houses were all in darkness, and some of them could even hear the sound of snuffing.Fortunately, there are lanterns hanging at the entrance and exit.

The sky is full of stars, but the moon is not seen.From the direction of the ranch, there are occasional neighing of sheep and horses, or the sound of barking dogs, creating a unique atmosphere in the mountain city.

Shen Mu said: "To the left is the Pegasus Garden of the farm owner's mansion, behind is the dining building, and on the right is the back mountain. Only the exit facing us leads to nowhere. If you want to try, try this direction."

Xu Ziling listened carefully and said: "But there is the sound of running water coming from the back mountain. Even if it is not good, there will be a mountain spring to meet the scene, which is better than rushing blindly. If you violate many taboos here, you will be beaten and eaten. The whip is too worthless.”

Shen Mu agreed: "It's because you are more of a slave than I am, I never thought about the taste of being whipped, ha..."

Laughing and cursing in a low voice, the two tiptoed towards the exit leading to the back mountain.

After entering the Moon Cave Gate, I realized that there is a garden behind the courtyard. The most wonderful thing is that there is a corridor extending into the garden, which expands the depth of field and makes the corridor run through the beautiful scenery of the garden. There is also a lotus pond on the left. A small hexagonal pavilion was built in the heart, connected to the shore by a small bridge.

The moon appeared in the sky on the right, shining silver light in this quiet back garden, and the scenery was extremely moving.The two forgot to take a shower and were amazed.

Shen Mu looked up at the steeply falling cliff at the back of the garden, and the tenacious old trees stretched out between the rocks, dancing in the wind, and said with a smile: "Look at the clear stream that winds around, it must be the way to the back of the mountain. Wouldn’t it be nice for us to find the source of the cascading springs and waterfalls, and then go to the Liujiao Pavilion to enjoy the shade and enjoy the moon after having some fun.”

Xu Ziling was in a good mood, and moved after hearing the words.

In the mood of tourists, they walked through the corridors that turned left and right, with endless beautiful scenery on both sides. After passing through a bamboo forest, the sound of water splashed. It turned out that there was a square pavilion at the end, facing a hundred-foot-high cliff in front, and a waterfall flew down on the opposite cliff. The momentum is compelling, if it is not separated by the bamboo forest, the roaring sound of the waterfall will be heard in the courtyard.It's breathtaking.

There is a gravel path on the left, which is connected to the square pavilion, and extends along the edge of the cliff to the depths of the forest, which makes people feel the spirit of exploring the seclusion.

Shen Mu and the others walked all the way, turned left and right, and suddenly it became clear to them that there was a small two-story building built on the terrace facing the cliff, and the situation was dangerous.

At this time, there were still lights on the second floor, indicating that the building was not only inhabited, but still not sleeping.

The two of them didn't expect that there was a hole in the road at the end of the road, and when they were about to turn around and leave, an old male voice came from upstairs and said: "The honored guest is here, why don't you come up and meet the old man."

There is no need to be big in an elegant room, and the fragrance of flowers is not too much.When Shen Mu and the two walked past the plaque engraved with "Comfort Nest" on the main entrance, they both felt a sense of peace and tranquility in their hearts.

Facing the two beams and pillars at the entrance, there is a couplet, which is written on a wooden sign: "It is time to tune the piano in the morning, and play the zither in the evening; when the old rain comes, the new rain comes first." The font is elegant and vigorous.

This hall is an architectural form of a four-sided hall. Through the four-sided flowered windows, the precipitous cliffs covering the plants behind and the surrounding soft bamboos faintly penetrate into the hall, making the mahogany furniture displayed in it even more simple and unpretentious, leisurely and natural.There are steps made of Phoebe wood at the corner of the house, leading to the upper floor.

The old man's voice came down again: "Both of you, please come up!"

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling exchanged glances and went up the stairs.The upper floor is divided into front and back rooms by a screen, one side has a round table and chairs, and the other side is supposed to be the sleeping place of the master.

At this time, there was a person standing in front of the window, facing the window, and said softly: "Two little brothers, please sit down and taste the six fruit liquid brewed by the old man."

Only then did Shen Mu realize that there were jugs, cups and other wine utensils on the table, and the aroma of wine was overflowing.Under the reflection of the two hanging palace lanterns, there are only a few necessary pieces of furniture except tables and chairs, all of which are made of rosewood, with a quaint and noble style.

The old man, E Guanbo, although he could not see his face because he was carrying them, he was a little taller than Xu Ziling, and he was wearing a long robe, which gave him a kind of awe-inspiring look. momentum.

The two of them remembered their identities and looked at the fine wine on the table. Just when they didn't know what to do, the old man sighed and said, "Drink! When you're drunk with wine, how much life is there!"

His tone reveals a kind of deep helplessness, which makes people feel that he must have a sad past.

Shen Mu gave Xu Ziling a push and sat down first.They were all careful not to disturb the holy silence of the small upstairs by making noise.

The sound of the waterfall came faintly in the distance.Shen Mu picked up the flagon and filled three cups. Seeing that the old man was still motionless, he picked up one cup by himself and handed the other to Xu Ziling.Fruit stuffed into the throat, the wine tastes mellow, soft and refreshing, the most rare thing is the rich and harmonious aroma, which makes people linger aftertaste.

The old man said indifferently: "This wine is brewed from six kinds of fresh fruits: pomegranate, grape, orange, mountain dregs, green plum, and pineapple. The process of blending, filtering, aging, and then putting it into wooden barrels and burying it for aging takes three years. It tastes good!"

Shen Mu praised sincerely: "The old man is really good at brewing wine, and he is very creative."

The old man was silent for a while, then said softly: "The old man has lived here for nearly 30 years. Except for Xiu Xun, no one has ever dared to come here. You must be newcomers."

When Shen Mu heard the words, he realized that he had violated the taboo, and apologized: "Assistant Liang didn't mention this to us, which disturbed Senior Qingxiu, I..."

"It's okay." After saying that, he turned around slowly, facing the two of them.It was a very special face, simple and quirky.His long, thick black eyebrows stretched all the way to his mottled temples, but the other ends were joined together on the bridge of his ears, in stark contrast to his dark eagle eyes.Sad lines formed around the corners of the mouth and under the eyes, giving him an air of resignation, weariness, and sadness.

The bridge of his nose is as straight and powerful as his waist, plus the pursed lips that naturally exude arrogance, and the slender and clean face, he looks like a prince who once enjoyed the wealth and glory of the world, but is now ashes as a prince noble.

His gaze swept across the two of them slowly, and he smiled slightly: "Do you know why I, who doesn't care about worldly affairs, invite you to come up to meet each other?"

The two shook their heads blankly.

The old man showed a exhausted expression, sat down slowly, took a glass of Liuguo liquid and drank it down, and said with a wry smile: "If this thing didn't hang my life, I might not see you two again today."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling looked at each other, and the latter asked, "Is senior injured?"

The old man nodded and said: "That was the injury I suffered 30 years ago. Even though the witch's Heavenly Demon Art is known as the crown of the Demon Sect, it still can't take my life. Let me use the mountain terrain to escape thousands of miles and hide here. "

He sighed again and said: "For 30 years, I have devoted all my energy here to building gardens. If I didn't have this kind of sustenance, I would have injured my hair and died. But these days, I always recall old hatreds from time to time. It is a harbinger of the recurrence of the injury, and the old man may not have much time."

Shen Mu let out a breath of cold air and said, "Who is that temptress?"

After staring at him intently for a long while, the old man glanced at Xu Ziling again, and said, "Among the four deacons of Pegasus Ranch, Liu Zongdao ranks first in terms of intelligence and martial arts. Normally, he would never Meddle in the personnel arrangement of the dining room, what he likes about you may be something else, or your appearance and qualifications!"

Xu Ziling asked respectfully: "Senior must be a well-known figure in the Jianghu, can you enlighten me?"

There was a proud smile on the corner of the old man's mouth, as if he said casually: "Even if Guan Ning Daoqi sees the old man, he should respectfully call him 'Mr. Lu'. Sigh! So what? In the end, it's not because of hatred In the hands of the temptress, the fame of the whole life is lost."

Both Xu Ziling and Shen Mu frowned, and couldn't remember which of the senior figures in Jianghu was surnamed Lu.

Shen Mu was embarrassed to ask directly, so he could only insinuate and ask: "Who is that temptress?"

The old man straightened his back, raised his eyebrows, his sharp eyes were murderous, and said fiercely: "Have you ever heard of the Yin Gui sect?"

The two blurted out at the same time: "'Yin Queen' Zhu Yuyan!"

This time it was the old man's turn to say in amazement: "You guys are not so simple, you know that there is such a monster. Sigh! I have done two things that I regret all my life, one of them is falling in love with this woman. Thinking of me, Lu Miaozi, I am conceited all my life, I made mistakes again and again, and good luck tricks people, what else can I say."

Shen Mu only felt that the name of Lu Miaozi was very familiar, and after thinking hard for a while, he suddenly realized that he was Lu Miaozi, known as "the most skilled craftsman in the world".It's no wonder that every tree and stone in the garden in the castle are arranged so skillfully, it's all because he is secretly in charge.

Tears welled up in Lu Miaozi's eyes, with a sad expression that he couldn't bear to look back.Suddenly he shook his head and sighed deeply, and said in a low voice: "You guys should go back to sleep! If you are free tomorrow, come here sometime, I have something to tell you."

Shen Mu and the others returned to the house, and after sleeping for less than two hours, they were awakened by knocking on the door.

Xiaojuan shouted outside: "You two young masters, get up quickly, it's dawn!"

The two of them got up reluctantly, Xu Ziling was pushed by Shen Mu to open the door, Xiaojuan frowned when she came in and said, "What did you two do, you went to bed wearing such dirty clothes, quickly change them and let others Can you wash it off?"

Xu Ziling wiped his eyes, sat down sleepily and said, "Sleep a little longer, okay?"

Xiaojuan crossed Xiaoman's waist and said angrily: "The host saw you, and didn't let me wash and change my clothes. If you are like this, people will ignore you!"

Shen Mu jumped up, pressed Xiaojuan's fragrant shoulders with both hands, and said with an apologetic smile: "Sister Xiaojuan calm down, may I ask which direction is the bathhouse in the southeast, northwest? How many miles do we have to go, we will go back quickly."

Xiaojuan wanted to put on a pretty face, but she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She turned her beautiful eyes a few times, frowned and said, "I'm here with my servant." Xiaojuan went out with a coquettish smile, and the two hurriedly left and right follow.

The weather was excellent that day, and an old servant in the courtyard was sweeping up fallen leaves, and there were people coming and going everywhere.

The three young maidservants who were pruning flowers and plants looked boldly at them.

Shen Mu moved closer to Xiaojuan's little ear and said, "You know why the farm owner wants to see us?"

Xiaojuan said indifferently: "How do I know, Sister Fu ordered me to come to you."

Shen Mu retreated to Xu Ziling, who was three steps behind, and said with a low smile, "It's because you are handsome enough, right? Ha!"

Xiaojuan stopped abruptly, turned around and put her hands on her hips, and shouted coquettishly with wide-eyed eyes: "What are you talking about? You must be speaking ill of the host."
