Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 478 Sima Rui

When everyone stopped to look at the villa, there was a doorman who ran out from the open door on the right, and asked with fists clasped, "Are you young heroes here for the meeting?"

Lou Changyi cupped his hands in return, nodded and said, "Exactly, please inform the master's family, which means that the Lou family in Yuecheng has come to visit." He took out a post with big red and gold letters from his arms and handed it over.

When the boy saw it, he immediately ran in with his hands in his hands, and soon two people came out with smiles.

The first person was in his thirties, with a burly figure, a silver-gray brocade gown, a dark green embroidered belt, a silver headband to tie his hair, a wide forehead, slightly narrowed eyebrows, and a smile on his mouth all the time. The heart gives birth to the meaning of closeness.

Behind him was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, dressed in sapphire blue brocade, with a silver embroidered cloud-patterned waistband, a few purses and jade pendants and other small accessories, and a red gold jewel-encrusted crown tied his long jet-black hair. Thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, high nose and thick lips, very heroic, but the slightly raised chin, straight back, faintly revealed a hint of arrogance.

The middle-aged man glanced at everyone with a smile, and he stepped forward to salute with his fists in his hands, "Which one is Lou Shaoxia from Mingyue City Loujiazhuang? I'm Huang Pude."

When Lou Changyi came here, he was carefully instructed by his elders. The old owner of Wanjian Villa, Sima Yuan, had only one son and one daughter. He gave birth to Sima Rui.The youngest daughter, Sima Yi, recruited a knight-errant to be her son-in-law and gave birth to a daughter, Sima Ji.On weekdays, the affairs of the villa are mostly handled by the married son-in-law, that is, Huang Pude.

Lou Changyi didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly saluted as a junior, calling him uncle, "my nephew Lou Changyi greeted my uncle, my father and uncle often mentioned my uncle. This time my nephew is going out, and I need my nephew to bring a message. Uncle Huang has gone to Mingyue City, so he must stay at our house for a few days."

Huang Pude was praised by his few words, making his face even more smiling, he laughed and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't been to Mingyue City for several years, and I miss my old brother Lou very much. I will definitely pay a visit.”

Lou Changyi wanted to speak, but when he heard the young man behind Huang Pude cough, Huang Pude's smile froze, but he quickly covered it up, and still patted his head with a smile and said, "Look, I'm just talking, come on, Come, Chang Yi, let me introduce you, this is the young master of our villa, I heard that your brothers and sisters have arrived, and you specially came out with me to greet him."

Lou Changyi felt a little displeased with the young man's behavior just now, but he didn't show any signs of it on his face, he cupped his hands and saluted, "Changyi has met the young master."

Sima Rui quickly returned the salute with a smile, and said, "Brother Lou, you are welcome. I am younger than you. You can call me Brother Rui from now on."

Lou Changyi raised his eyebrows, hesitating in his heart. Originally, the uncles at home said that the owner of the young village was arrogant, and ordinary people in the same circles would not catch him, but at this time, he heard the words so politely, which was not in line with the rumors, so The original dislike gradually subsided, "Young Master, you are being polite."

Sima Rui glanced at the crowd behind him, and asked, "These friends behind Big Brother Lou..."

"Oh, I only care about talking, don't blame the young master." As he spoke, he pulled Lou Yuying over and said, "This is my younger sister Yuying."

Then he pointed to Dayu and Tao'er and said, "This is Mr. Ouyang Yu and Mr. Wei Tao, and their younger sister, Ms. Ouyang Xing. I made friends on the road. I heard that there is a martial arts conference in our village. , just come to join in the fun with me."

Lou Yuying first stepped forward to salute Huang Pude and Sima Rui, and when she looked up, she saw that Sima Rui had inexplicable eagerness in his eyes, she couldn't help feeling disgusted in her heart, and frowned and retreated slightly to Dayu's side.

Sima Rui seemed to sense her dependence on Dayu, and raised his brows slightly, but still had a smile on his face, and exchanged greetings with Dayu Tao'er and others.

After seeing the ceremony, everyone was welcomed into the villa.

When they were at the bottom of the mountain just now, they were blocked by ancient trees, now they finally entered the door, and everyone looked at the whole picture of the world-famous No. [-] villa in Jianghu.

The first time you enter the courtyard, it is like an ordinary house. Behind the door is a tall screen wall, and a picture of a roc spreading its wings is carved, which is detailed and lifelike.

Bypassing the screen wall, the main building, together with the east and west wing rooms, are small two-story buildings. Every ten feet in the corridor downstairs, there is a doorpost carved from century-old pine wood with a huge sword inserted upside down, with antique doors and windows, carved into dragons. The empty yard of the Panjujian map makes people feel open-minded as soon as they see it, and one can imagine how lively it will be to hold a banquet in such a yard and hall.

Sima Rui looked at the crowd in amazement with cold eyes, proud in his heart, walked to Lou Yuying with a smile, tried his best to look gentle, and said, "Sister Yuying, this is where the banquet will be held in a few days. I have ordered people to prepare. You must be tired from the long journey. I will take you to rest first. After lunch, I will show you around, okay? There are many places with good scenery in our village."

Lou Yuying took a slight step back and thanked Master Shao with a salute, "It's troublesome for Master Shao, but the journey is hard, I want to take a nap in the afternoon, and I may fail Master Shao's kindness." After speaking, she turned to look at Dayu, smiling Said, "Brother Ouyang is tired, let's go rest with the young owner first."

Dayu gave her a cold look, and didn't like her being so open-eyed that she used him as a shield.So he turned his head and pretended not to hear, and started talking to Xing'er.Lou Yuying's face froze for a moment, she bowed her head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Sima Rui turned cold. Huang Pude rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Nephew Lou Xian, I still have some chores to deal with, so I won't accompany you to see the residence. When you arrive at Uncle's place, feel free to eat and eat." In terms of speed, if there is anything, just send someone to look for uncle."

Lou Changyi quickly thanked him, Huang Pude smiled and gave Sima Rui a few words, and then turned into the west chamber and disappeared.

For some reason, Sima Rui suddenly seemed to lose interest, without saying a word, he led the crowd through the vase gate next to the main room, and into the backyard.

The entire backyard is actually a large garden covering an area of ​​more than ten acres. The trees in the garden are verdant, and the delicate flowers form a nursery.

There is a ten-meter-high rockery in the middle, tall and straight, majestic.In the lotus pond under the rockery, the light concubine-colored lotus with a large bowl mouth is dancing in the wind.

A three-foot-wide path was paved with small milky white stones outside the pond, leading to a small stone bridge. Under the bridge, a stream rushes through. Occasionally, palm-sized red koi will jump up in the clear stream.

After passing the small bridge, behind the flowers and trees is a row of five or six small courtyards, with blue bricks and red tiles, very small and exquisite.

Sima Rui walked through three rooms in a row, then stopped in front of the fourth room called Changchun, pushed open the door of the small courtyard, led everyone to sit down in the hall, then told the two serving maids a few words, and left .

Lou Yuying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him go out of the yard, then ran to the door with a smile, pointed to the east wing where the lilies were planted in front of the window, and said, "Sister Xing and I live there, as well as Caiyun Zhuiyue." Room is ready."

Lou Changyi also looked at Dayu and Tao'er and said with a smile, "We arrived a few days earlier, and this villa is still very quiet. After a few days, there will be more guests, and maybe the accommodation will not be available. Brother Tao, Yu Brother, the three of us should also live in the west wing, if anyone comes, let them live in the main room."

Dayu and Tao'er were originally here to watch the fun, guests can do whatever they want, they just have a place to live, so naturally they didn't object, so the place was settled like this, and everyone took a shower and took a rest.

That Sima Rui left the Changchun Courtyard, walked around the lotus pond, and walked into the large courtyard named Yangshan Hall on the west side.

The two young servants were standing outside the porch of the main house with their heads bowed. When they saw him coming in, they hurriedly rushed forward to salute, and said with a smile, "Master Young Master, why are you here? The old man was still talking about it just now?"

Sima Rui frowned and waved his hands, "What is the old man doing?"

"Go back to the young master, the old man just entered the study."

"You keep a good watch here, and report in time if something happens."

"Yes, Young Master." The two young servants saw the young master's mood today, and quickly responded in unison.

Sima Rui knocked on the door of the study room, waited for an old voice inside to say "Come in", then straightened his clothes a little, opened the door and went in.

Passing around the four large screens of flowers and birds at the gate, I saw a rosy-faced, hale and hearty white-haired old man sitting behind a nanmu desk, holding a sword manual in his hand and reading earnestly, sometimes making gestures with his right hand.

Sima Rui stood obediently by the side with his head bowed, not daring to interrupt.

After a while, the old man put down the book in his hand, took a sip from his teacup, looked up at his frustrated grandson, and asked, "Why, did the Lou family girl disappoint you?"

Sima Rui hurriedly saluted, and replied, "No, grandfather, the girl from the Lou family is very flattering to my grandson."

"Then why are you so depressed?"

"Uh..." Sima Rui wanted to say that Lou Yuying had already given her heart to someone else and had no intention of falling in love with him at all, but felt that it hurt his face, so he had to keep silent.

The old man chuckled, "Everyone always praises you for being smart, but now you seem to be a fool. Your uncle has already inquired, and Miss Lou's family has not engaged her, even if she falls in love with a boy along the way, It's not a big problem. You are the young owner of our Wanjian Villa, who in the world can surpass you?"

Hearing this, Sima Rui's face slowly turned back to joy. After all, he had never heard of a famous family in Jianghu with the surname Ouyang, and Ouyang Yu didn't have a background, he was majestic. As the young owner of the villa, there is really no need to regard him as an opponent.

The old man got up and walked to the Duobao grid on the right with his hands behind his back. Looking at the densely packed small grids, he stretched out his finger to an empty space on the upper right, and said, "Our Wanjian Villa is called Wanjian, but it actually took our ancestors a hundred years of hard work , but I only collected 99 kinds of swordsmanship. 20 years ago, in order to collect the 3th copy, I paid [-] taels of silver to buy Zhu You's swordsmanship. Unfortunately, the old Lou family was too stubborn and firm Refuse to give up."

As he said that, he turned his head to look at his grandson, and sighed, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have made such a bad move and let you marry their daughter. You will be so tired that you will sacrifice your marriage."

　It's already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the task is finally completed, woohoo, I can go to sleep, so happy!
　　Thank you for your support all night, sweet dreams!
