Huang Zhong went into the kitchen and made breakfast, and Xun Zhen served it to Xu's mother by hand as usual.

During the meal, Chen Bao came back and brought a fat dog, which he did not kill for a while, but tied it to Huan Biao. Cheng Yan held the bowl, walked around the dog, tutted his tongue in praise, and said, "How could there be such a fat big dog? Who did you buy it from? It's enough for two meals."

Chen Bao carried the wine, took **** and garlic, put them in the kitchen, and came out and said, "Having walked halfway, I remembered that Wang Tu's house sells dogs, so I went to his house to buy them, and chose the fattest ones. She didn't want the money for the Wang family, but in the end, I had no choice. I could only learn from Zhou's slave, and once I was a nuisance, I threw the money on the ground. Thanks to my fast walking, I didn't get dragged by her. Put the money back."

Cheng Yan paid attention to the wine and asked, "Where did you buy the wine? But Zhongshan Dong Brew?"

"I bought it from the chief of Anding Li. He bought the wine in the county a few days ago, and he bought a lot. I want a jar."

After the meal, the search that was not completed yesterday continued.

Yesterday I only checked every mile, but the mountains, forests and grasses have not been searched. There are many wild beasts in the mountains and forests, Xun Zhen and others brought bows and arrows, this time they did not separate, but acted together. Only Huang Zhong was left to guard the door.

Fanyang Pavilion is densely populated, unlike those deserted and remote pavilions. There are not many mountains and forests in the area, but it will take a lot of time to check carefully everywhere. Xun Zhen and Du Mai rode on horses, while Cheng Yan, Chen Bao, and the Fan brothers walked. A group of six people traveled far and wide.

In order to avoid Xu Ji's worries, Xun Zhen specifically spoke to him and told him bluntly: "I'm waiting to travel, just to fulfill the order of the county, and I will definitely not meet my second brother." Repeatedly, "Don't tell my mother! "His speech to Mother Xu was to inspect the pavilion.

The errand of the pavilion is so hard, to usher in, send and hunt down the thieves, and there is no time to spare when he is busy. It's not bad now, at least the weather is good. If on a rainy day, or on a snowy day in the deep winter, one would trek through the snow in spite of the wind and rain, then it would be called a bitter cold.

However, Xun Zhen did not regret it.

When passing through Andingli, the chief of Andingli stood at the entrance of the entrance, looked around the road, saw them, and hurriedly bowed and saluted them all the way. When passing through Nanpingli, I met a few peasants who were going down to the ground. When they saw them coming, they stopped and avoided them in awe.

The common people are the most simple, but yesterday's refusal to accept bribes and the rectification of Wu Gui easily won the respect and admiration of Andingli and Nanpingli. Although this respect and fear of obedience are still in their infancy, as long as they persevere, they can always be exchanged for enough prestige.

Xun Zhen rode his horse galloping, and the wind blew away the haze of the morning.

That Jinyi slave is just a slave of the Zhou family. If you want to open it up, you don't have to care about it at all. Have you forgotten why you came to be the pavilion chief? He looked around, the Fanyang Pavilion, the more than 300 households and more than 1,000 people, sooner or later, he would turn them into his foundation. Not enough, to expand to the entire township. Not enough, to be able to expand to the entire county? No matter how loud the Yellow Turban uprising was, it was enough to protect itself.

"Accumulate soil to form mountains, and wind and rain will flourish. Accumulated water will form an abyss, and dragons will be born. If you don't accumulate a few steps, you can't reach a thousand miles. If you don't accumulate a small stream, you can't form a river or sea." He encouraged himself: "Keep the words of the ancestors in mind and put them into action."

Over the fields and into the forest.

Check forward from the nearest point. There are not many hills and the forest is not particularly large, but the trees are lush and the wild vines are entwined, making it difficult to walk. Mounts are useless, only walking. Nothing was found until noon. Everyone was sweating profusely, with muddy branches on their bodies, rested for a while, and continued their search. In the afternoon, I still didn't see anything suspicious, but I met a few hares and pheasants, but they were blocked by the trees, and they fled quickly, and they disappeared before the bow was opened.

After a hard day, everyone is exhausted. Before dusk comes, Xun Zhen decides to go home. Everyone agrees with this wise decision.

When we arrived at Detingshe, it was already dusk. Before entering the door, I could smell the smell of meat from a distance.

Cheng Yan moved his index finger and said, "It must be Lao Huang who has rectified the dishes!" He rushed to the hospital. Xun Zhen and the others looked at each other and smiled, and also entered. After a tiring day, everyone is actually thinking about the wine and meat at night. Taking the horse into the stable, Xun Zhen came to the door of the kitchen.

The meat aroma is stronger.

Fan Shang took a deep breath in intoxication and said, "I haven't smelled this for many days! I miss me. Lao Huang! Is the meat ready?"

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you to come back to eat."

Everyone joined hands and spread the mat in the courtyard. Chen Bao said, "Let's start eating early while it's still dark."

Du Mai agreed and said, "I'm so hungry that my heart is on my back, and I've lost the strength to walk. Lao Huang, come here with good wine and good meat!"

Chen Bao and Cheng Yan got into the kitchen and helped Huang Zhong divide the meat. Seeing that she had nothing to help, Xun Zhen went to wash up and went to the backyard to invite Mother Xu. - Mother Xu has moved back to the backyard.

It was a cold autumn night, and Xun Zhen was afraid of the cold, so she first spread a sheet on the table, and then invited her to the table.

The same food table, the same bowls and plates, the same bean soup and wheat cakes, the same pickles and sauces, it will be different with more wine and meat. The atmosphere was very lively. Chen Bao raised the wine, gave each person an ear cup, took a gourd, and scooped the wine. The aroma of meat and wine has not yet started, but it has already made people drunk.

"Zhongshan Winter Brewing" is a famous wine, Chen Bao added a little more money, and only bought one stone in total.

Cheng Yan couldn't wait, picked up his ear cup and drank it, and said, "Good wine! Good wine!" In this way, after drinking three glasses in a row, he slowed down.

This is not to blame him, the people live a hard life, the poor do not have enough to eat, and the better ones do not drink meat and wine at ordinary times. The people in the pavilion have meager salaries. Although they can guarantee two meals a day, wine and meat are rare.

Huang Zhong taught him a lesson, saying, "I don't know how to respect the old and the young. Xun Jun and the old lady are at the table, how can you only take care of yourself?" As early as Dengzhou County, I wish the old lady a long life."

Xun Zhen held the cup with his right hand and protected the cup with his left sleeve. He also knelt down on the table facing Xu's mother, and said, "Mother, I also wish you a long life like Nanshan."

With the two of them taking the lead, everyone raised their glasses together, including Xu Ji, all bowed down to the banquet and said, "I wish the old lady (grandmother) a long life."

Mother Xu couldn't drink too much, but she took a sip with kindness. Xu Zhong murdered and died, Qin Gan personally ordered her to be brought to the pavilion. Unexpectedly, Xun Zhen treats her like a mother. She must be invited to eat first, she must be invited to sleep first, and whenever she needs it, she will be prepared without waiting, and she will take care of her in every possible way. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, not to mention the help in times of trouble? The more she looked at Xun Zhen, the more cordial she became, and she said, "Azhen, you drink too!"

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "It was given by the elders and cannot be dismissed. Everyone, drink up!"

Everyone drank it. Cheng Yan exclaimed, "What's the point of drinking only? Xun Jun, do you dare to fight with me?"

The gesture order is similar to the rock-paper-scissors of later generations. The two gesture towards each other, and the loser drinks. Xun Zhen said: "Looking at your murderous appearance, how can you fight with fists and thumbs instead of playing with gestures?"

Cheng Yan didn't understand: "Drawing fists and thumbs? How did you play? Never heard of it."

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "You've never heard of it before. If you make cards another day, you won't know how surprised you will be. It turns out that there are so many ways to play the wine!" The clansmen, come to the tutorial at this time, familiar with the road, and quickly explain it clearly.

After listening to it, everyone was very interested. Cheng Yan rolled up his sleeves and came to fight. He is talented in learning, his fingers are not sharp, he is either saying that he misses a piece, or he is not eloquent.

Fan Shang quit his job and shouted: "Old Cheng! Did you do this on purpose? Use this to cheat the wine?" He rushed to come with Xun Zhen. In the end, it is also a losing streak. It was replaced by Du Mai, Huang Zhong, and Fan Tan, and Xu Ji also came up to participate in the battle. Except for Fan Tan who collided and won a game, he was completely exhausted.

When he was learning chess, Chen Bao was the first to play against Xun Zhen, and he lost a tragic loss. This time, he learned to play well, not rushing to play. , Sure enough, unlike others, after losing a few rounds in a row, I slowly found the feeling that I could also win half a round.

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Someone finally wins me, or else you will all drink up this wine!"

As night came, Huang Zhong took a torch and put it on the ground to light it.

Cheng Yan said that the dog meat was enough for two meals. He underestimated everyone's appetite and greed. He ate all of them in less than half an hour, and there was still half of the wine left.

He drank the most, was already drunk, jumped up, and sat down barefoot. A total of three mats were laid, with Xun Zhen, Xu Mu and Xu Ji sitting on the front. There were six people sitting in the pavilion on the left and right seats. In the middle of the three mats, there is a space vacant. He circled and danced in the open space, dancing and singing: "When you leave the east gate, you don't care about returning. When you come to the entrance, you feel sad."

Chen Bao waved his chopsticks and struck the wooden bowl. Fan Shang slaps his legs and accompanies it.

Cheng Yan danced and sang: "There is no store in Ang, and there is no clothes hanging on the truss!"

Du Mai, Huang Zhong, and Fan Tan reconciled with him: "There are no clothes hanging on the truss. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

Cheng Yan raised a high-pitched voice, and then sang: "Put out the sword and go out, the children are holding their clothes and crying. His family hopes to be rich and noble, and the humble concubine and the monarch share the meal."

Du Mai and the three said in harmony: "His family hopes to be rich and noble, and the humble concubine and the monarch share the spoils."

They sang a harmony song, with a generous high pitch and a low harmony. At this point, Cheng Yan danced to Xun Zhen's seat, with arms outstretched, his sleeves thrown up, his body leaned, and he stepped back. Xun Zhen got up in response, raised her sleeves on her hips, and stepped forward to dance.

Chen Bao struck the bowl and called, "Spin, spin!"

Du Mai and others also echoed and shouted, "Spin, spin!"

Xun Zhen did not twist, she swirled when she spoke, waved her sleeves and turned her feet, twirled and danced in the open space, and sang. His voice is clear and clear, unlike Cheng Yan's sadness, and the song he sings is not as tragic and solemn as "East Gate Journey", but a gentle ballad: "Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian, fish play with lotus leaves. Fish play with lotus leaves. East,…."

This song is familiar to everyone, everyone present will sing it, and they say in unison, "Fish plays with lotus leaves."

"Fish play with lotus leaf south."

"Fish play with lotus leaf north."

After the ballad was sung, Xun Zhen danced to Xu Ji's seat, threw her sleeves and leaned back. Xu Ji's skin was thin, and he felt embarrassed. Xun Zhen stepped back, danced again, and danced to his seat again.

Mother Xu patted Xu Ji's arm and said with a smile, "Azhen belongs to you, why don't you get up?"

Xu Ji reluctantly got up. Xun Zhen returned to the seat and changed to Xu Ji to dance.

The process of dancing and persuading to dance at the banquet is called "dance to belong to each other". After the previous dancer has finished, invite the next person to dance. If the next person refuses to answer, or refuses to spin when jumping, it is a faux pas.

The meat is gone, the wine is about to run out, and everyone is rejoicing.

Before Xu Jiwu finished dancing, there was a "pop" from the courtyard wall. Everyone went to look and saw someone jumping off the wall.
