Chapter 1

On a March day in the south of the Yangtze River, the spring breeze gently blew the begonia flowers in the yard. Clusters of red flowers were in full bloom, with a few drops of fresh green dotted among them, full of vitality.

Wei Hanzhang opened the window and took a look at the weather that finally cleared up. He was still depressed and unable to cheer up.

She stared blankly for a moment, still thinking about the conversation she overheard between two cousins ​​a few days ago.

They were talking about the fact that Gu Yunran had two beautiful married women by his side some time ago. The mother-in-law of the Gu family saw that her son was chasing after Wei Hanzhang every day, which was really unseemly, so she personally selected two sensible girls to give to her son. Heart.

When he heard about this, Wei Hanzhang's first reaction was to go to Gu Yunran for confirmation. However, his eldest cousin's wedding was approaching, and her sisters had been accompanying her to a gathering in another courtyard in the past few days.

It was naturally inconvenient for Gu Yunran, a foreigner, to come among the girls. Wei Hanzhang could only hold back for the time being, but as the days passed, the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became.

Her mood was written all over her face, and several sisters could see it. They just thought she had some minor conflict with the young master of the Gu family and didn't care.

Seeing that she had been sitting alone by the window, Jiang Zhiqin put down the embroidery work in her hands and coaxed: "It's rare to have a sunny day today. Why don't you go for a walk in the garden? Before you came, didn't you think about how beautiful the crabapples in this courtyard are?"

Wei Hanzhang's small character Ran Ran was picked up by his grandmother Mrs. Jiang herself. After hearing this, she still leaned against the window edge with a sad expression.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and turned around and said, "Can we still get in to the Cao Garden next door?"

 The two Jiang family girls looked at each other and shook their heads.

"After the Cao family was ransacked, all the family property was confiscated. I have never heard of whether there is a new owner of the garden." Jiang Zhiqi sighed as he thought of the handkerchief he handed over to Cao Xinrou, who didn't know where he was at the moment.

Jiang Zhixue's eyes showed confusion: "Why did Ran Ran suddenly want to go to Cao Yuan's house?"

“A few years ago, when we were invited by the Cao family, we all went to stay in the garden next door for a few days. On that occasion, I buried a jar of wine under her cherry tree.”

Wei Hanzhang said softly: "It's a few years old now, so I want to dig it out and have a taste."

The top grade of the jar is Nuerhong. Gu Yunran dug the hole, she filled it with soil, and the two of them buried it together.

Now that I remembered it, it was fate, and it happened that the wedding of my eldest cousin was approaching, and my daughter Hongduo was in perfect condition. Wei Hanzhang gathered himself together, stood up, put on his curtain hat, and prepared to go out.

Jiang Zhiqin called to her: "The gate of the garden next door has been closed these days, and no one comes in or out. How are you going to get in?"

Wei Hanzhang lifted up his hat and smiled at her: "I have my own way. The two sisters are waiting to taste the bar that I buried myself."

 After saying that, without waiting for them to say anything else, he walked out of the house in a few steps, but he still had the same languorous energy as before.

The two young ladies from the Jiang family couldn't stop her. They were no better than Wei Hanzhang. The two elders of the Jiang family felt pity for their granddaughter who left her parents when she was young. They always doted on her, not to mention protecting her like a pair of eyes. It's almost the same, but she has been accustomed to the temperament she has now to do whatever comes to her mind.

She is not afraid of anything, but she still has the little bully of the Gu family following her, who is obedient. She is from the Marquis Mansion in the capital. Looking at the entire Xuzhou city, who can have a better life than her?

Speaking of which, Wei Hanzhang has traveled through this era for so many years. Although he has never met his parents, he has never tasted the feeling of living under someone else's roof. From top to bottom, the Jiang family treats her very well. In terms of food and clothing, several of them The legitimate daughter is a head shorter than her.

Farewell to his two cousins, Wei Hanzhang took his maid and walked toward the courtyard wall in his memory. The three masters and servants searched for it for a long time, and finally found the hole that Gu Yunran and he had drilled a few years ago.

 It has not been blocked in all these years. However, the hole looked quite big back then, but now it looks so small. After all, she is now a fifteen-year-old girl. Isn’t it indecent to drill a hole like this...

Wei Hanzhang stood in front of the cave with a slightly hesitant look. The two maids behind him did not approve of her doing this. Seeing this, they hurriedly dissuaded her: "This cave is small, how can we pass people through? Girls, let's go back. If there is someone in the yard opposite, Once the Lord's message is spread..."

"No." Wei Hanzhang shook his head: "I've already told my two sisters what to do about returning home. Moreover, if the cherry orchard opposite really has an owner and they take over the new garden, how can they not repair it in order? The courtyard wall is still left in ruins.”

Wei Hanzhang made up his mind to drill this hole. After speaking, he ordered two maids to go and guard at a distance, and they must not let others see her drilling the hole in the wall.

She raised her hand to steady her hat, rolled up her sleeves, bent down and hid behind the wall.

Although the entrance to the hole was small, fortunately she had a slender figure and the courtyard wall was not thick. Wei Hanzhang got through without much effort. She clapped her hands before standing up straight. She was about to let Luzhu and Lulan come over, when she raised her head. I saw a few big men standing at the pavilion not far away.

Those burly men, each wearing a sword on their waist, did not look like ordinary guards, but rather like gangsters.

 Could it be that after the government confiscated the Cao family's property, they sold it to some bandit family?

Or are the bandits plotting something big by occupying this remote village?

She won’t run into a den of thieves, right?

A few thoughts flashed through his mind, and when he looked closely, he saw a young man sitting on a stone bench in the pavilion behind several big men, making tea with his back to this side. Behind him stood a slave, bowing.

The man was making tea in a leisurely and calm manner, and he didn't look like a bandit...

There was no news after the master passed by. Luzhululan on the other end couldn't help but call her in a low voice. Wei Hanzhang blinked and then tilted his head slightly to open his lips. However, when he saw several big men in front of him pulling out their swords, he had no choice but to keep silent.

 I thought to myself: What a great majesty.

The man sitting in the pavilion making tea raised his hand, and several big men put away the murder weapon. Wei Hanzhang tentatively tilted his head again. Seeing that they didn't respond, he quickly spoke to comfort the maids and told them to wait where they were and there was no need to follow them. Come.

After saying this, Wei Hanzhang stood up straight and calmed down, thinking that she was wrong for breaking into someone else's house without permission. Just as he was about to bow and apologize, he saw the servant standing behind the man stepped down from the pavilion and walked in front of her.

The servant nodded slightly to her and asked, "How did the young lady know that this place can be entered?"

Wei Hanzhang hesitated, seeing that the other party's appearance was getting worse, so he had to confess: "I had been drilled several times when I was young."

She was dressed like a lady from a rich family, so what she said was a bit abrupt. The servant was startled when he heard this, and asked again: "What are you doing here?"

The man who had been facing away from the pavilion got up at some point and glanced over with slightly lowered eyes.

Wei Hanzhang has always been bold. There is no one in Xuzhou city whom she dare not look at. She was not afraid when she saw the battle. Instead, she raised her head and looked at it with great magnanimity.

  With just one glance, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, and I almost couldn't control myself and retreated.

The man's face was extremely cold, and he was tall and tall. He looked to be in his early twenties. His aura was as sharp as the light of a sword, with a cold air that made people tremble.

 Is he the new owner of this manor?

 When did such a character appear in Xuzhou City?
