The sound of "The Pavilion Master is here" attracted the eyes of Meng Jinhua and Gao Shichen to a group of people outside the fence gate.

The leader is an exquisite and comfortable ox cart, followed by a group of followers.Jin Hua said strangely: "I remember that Ji Kang's wife is Cao Cao's granddaughter or great-granddaughter, why did she come here in an ox cart, which is much more shabby than Zhong Hui's carriage!"

"You don't understand this. Before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, horse-drawn carriages were more noble, but since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the number of horses has decreased sharply due to successive years of wars, and more and more people have begun to use oxen to pull carts. Cao Cao has a poem 'Bone bones In the wild, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles', which shows the tragedy of the war. In order to promote thrift, Cao Cao called on officials to dress and drive as plainly as possible. Bullock carts have become the means of travel for noble officials. From the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the early Tang Dynasty , the ox cart gradually became a status symbol. Extravagant and gorgeous ox carts emerged one after another, which lost the meaning of Cao Cao’s advocacy of frugality. The owner of the pavilion was born in the royal family, so he naturally wanted to ride a higher status ox cart, Zhong Hui’s How can a carriage compare with that?"

"So that's it. It seems that this bullock cart is not something ordinary people can ride in." Jin Hua sighed.

While the two were talking, the ox cart of the owner of the Changle Pavilion had already stopped outside the gate of the fence, and a maid came forward to obey her orders. The curtain of the ox cart was slightly opened, and the people inside gave some instructions to the outside, and the curtain quickly closed.

"The owner of the pavilion is really noble, and his appearance is not easy to show." Jinhua stretched his neck, but did not see the appearance of the people in the car, "Since she is here, the person playing the piano in the room must be Ji Kang! Hey... ..."

"Why, it's different from what you imagined?" Gao Shiqian said happily, "Isn't he handsome enough?"

"How should I put it, that person's image and temperament are good, but it just feels a little bit less interesting, but I can't tell where the difference is."

As the two talked, the little boy came out of the house and welcomed the maid of the pavilion owner into the room. After a while, he hurried out of the room and came to the pavilion owner's ox cart to salute and say hello. He accompanied him respectfully with his entourage.

After waiting for a long time, the melodious sound of the piano came again from the room, and none of the two people inside came out to see you.

"This Ji Kang is so arrogant. His wife has already found the door, but she still doesn't come out to greet him. Even if he can put on a show as a husband, the pavilion master is more important than him!" Jinhua curled his lips and said, "If I were the pavilion master, I would Go in and take them out, tie them up and throw them on the car, and bring them back to Luoyang City!"

"I can hear it, you are making fun of me again." Gao Shiqian remembered the embarrassing incident of being tied up in a carriage by Mr. Li, "The owner of Changle Pavilion is not Princess Taiping, she is much more reserved and stable. You think ancient women are like you Modern women are so free and unrestrained, Datang is just an exception..." He whispered.

Jinhua rolled his eyes at him: "This is called social progress, understand?"

"Don't roll your eyes anymore, you will catch up with Ruan Ji."

"By the way, why didn't I see the other seven sages of the bamboo forest? Don't they often swim in the bamboo forest together?"

"Look over there, there are people coming again."

Gao Shiqian pointed to the bamboo forest not far away, and four people walked out leisurely from it.

One is a little older, about 50 years old, with a high crown and bo belt, and a dignified face;

A 30-year-old man, wearing a blue lun scarf on his head, wearing a blue shirt, showing his chest, holding a wine jar in his hand, drinking while walking;

The two following are very young, only in their teens and 20s, and their postures are described as very free and easy. One holds a lute in the shape of a lute in his arms, and plays it casually while walking, and the other shakes a wicker in his hand. teasing the birds flying around in the forest.

"This is really about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." Jin Hua looked at the people who were getting closer and closer, "Looking at them, they should be the other members of the 'Bamboo Forest Team', right? The little girl has little knowledge, Boss Gao, tell me who they are?"

"I'm just guessing, not necessarily right," Gao Shiqian said, "The oldest one is Shan Tao, the one drinking should be Ruan Ji, the one holding the piano in his arms is Ruan Ji's nephew Ruan Xian, and the one holding the wicker to play with the birds He is the youngest Wang Rong among the Seven Sages."

"It's amazing..." Jin Hua admired, "It's different to be educated, I can't help but admire you!"

"These things can be learned by reading some ancient books, it's nothing." Gao Shichen smiled triumphantly.

"Is that Ruan Xian holding a pipa in his arms?"

"No, that instrument is called 'Ruan', which is named after Ruan Xian's surname."

"Oh, so what is Ruan Ji wearing on his head? Why do I feel like I've seen it in a TV series?"

"That's the famous 'Lun Towel'."

"The Lun scarf of the feather fan scarf?"

"Exactly. The Lun scarf is a kind of scarf, mostly woven with blue ribbons, because Zhuge Liang likes to wear this kind of scarf, it is also called 'Zhuge scarf'."

As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them had already reached the fence.Ruan Ji took a sip of his wine and chanted loudly: "When I was a young man, I played frivolous and good string songs. During my journey to Xianyang in the west, Zhao Lixiang passed by. The entertainment is not over, and the day is suddenly wasted. Drive the horse back and return, looking back at the Three Rivers!" "

Hearing his voice, the little boy hurried out to open the door to welcome him.He laughed a few times and walked in the door.Ruan Xian and Wang Rong also followed him and entered the door as if no one else was there. Only Shan Tao noticed the driving of Changle Pavilion Master and Zhong Hui, stepped forward to salute the Pavilion Master, and exchanged greetings with Zhong Hui before walking in squarely. house to go.

Not long after, the sound of singing, singing and laughing came from the house, as if they had completely forgotten everything outside the house.The small fence seems to have become an insurmountable barrier and enchantment, isolating everything in the world outside the fence, even if the sky falls outside and the earth shakes, it will not affect the world of the people in the house at all.

“1、2、3、4、5、6……”锦华口中喃喃地道。

"What are you counting?"

"No, why is there one person missing?"

"Yeah, I found out too. Could it be Xiang Xiu who is missing?" Gao Shiqian was also confused.

While the two were talking, the "Altair" in Jinhua's arms suddenly made a "creaking" sound, and she hurriedly pulled it out from her arms, only to see the tentacles and wings on the back of "Altair" vibrating rapidly, The noise is getting louder.

The people on the side, together with Zhong Hui and the Changle Pavilion Master on the bullock cart, heard the sound, and looked at the things in Jin Hua's hands together.

"Close it quickly!" Gao Shiqian hurriedly said to her.

She hastily turned off the "Altair" and whispered: "This thing is ringing. Could it be that the clothes we are looking for are nearby? Could it be the clothes worn by the four people who just went in? ?”

"Extremely possible!" Gao Shiqian said to the crowd looking at them, "It's my little sister who caught the cowboy and offended all the adults by screaming, so let's go and let him go." , the two ran to the back of the house.

After arriving at the house, Jin Hua asked, "What should we do now?"

Gao Shiqian had already picked up a branch from the ground and began to draw quickly.

He drew the costumes worn by the four people he saw just now on the ground one by one with branches, but there was no response at all: "What's going on? Could it be that I misremembered any details?" He recalled it with Jinhua The clothes of the four of them were carefully drawn again, but nothing happened.

"Could it be the clothes of the other two?" Jin Hua reminded.

Gao Shiqian nodded, and drew the costumes of Ji Kang and Liu Ling in the previous room, but there was still no response.

"Wealth and honor have many sorrows and sorrows. Only the poor and lowly can be left alone. As the song says, wealth and honor have many sorrows..."

A melodious singing came from behind the two of them. Meng Jinhua and Gao Shiqian turned around and saw a woodcutter walking over with freshly cut firewood on his back.

Jinhua looked at his figure and attire, especially those crooked patches on his body, pointed at him and said, "He is the woodcutter who played the piano last night!"

Gao Shiqian looked up and down the appearance of the woodcutter, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.Before he could react, a gentle voice suddenly came: "Husband, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
