Chapter 54: Visiting the Bamboo Forest

"Husband, husband..." Meng Jinhua stared wide-eyed, watching a woman like a concubine and fairy, followed by two maids, walking towards the woodcutter in dirty and shabby clothes.This woman is the owner of the Changle Pavilion who has been sitting in the bullock cart and has not shown up.

The main face of the Changle Pavilion is like a lotus, and the eyes are like autumn water. On his head, he wears a coiled and stacked bun, which is fluffy and piled up like a blue cloud. On the bun, there is a newly picked peony.The most eye-catching thing is the set of elegant and elegant "gui (gui) clothes" she is wearing.

The upper body of this kind of skirt is the same as the ordinary Hanfu deep clothing, while the front and back of the skirt on the lower body is cut into a triangle and hangs down like a dovetail.The hem of the skirt is wide and drags on the ground, and an apron-like "knee cover" is wrapped around the front of the skirt, and the sides of the knee cover are also cut into strips of pointed streamers. , swaying with the wind, fluttering like a fairy.

"It's as graceful as a frightened bird, as graceful as a wandering dragon. It is full of chrysanthemums and luxuriant pine trees. It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and the snow flutters like the flowing wind..." Gao Shiqian looked at the appearance and posture of the owner of Changle Pavilion, Can't help but blurt out the "Ode to the God of Luo" written by Cao Zhi, "If you didn't see it with your own eyes, you would think that the fairy appearance of the God of Luo is Cao Zijian's Nanke Yimeng. Who knows that there is such a robe in the world."

On his side, he was attracted by the cloak of the pavilion master of Changle, but Jinhua stared intently at the woodcutter called "husband" by the pavilion master, the famous head of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove——Ji Kang.

Ji Kang put down the firewood behind his back, took off the bamboo hat on his head, stood up straight, and smiled at the owner of Changle Pavilion, "Why are you here?"

"My husband has been away from home for three months, and the violins on the case have been covered with dust." The pavilion master looked at him affectionately, and stepped forward to take the bamboo hat: "I know you must have gone to the mountains again, but I didn't expect you to mess up this time." Look like a woodcutter."

He showed his tattered clothes to the pavilion owner, and said with a smile: "I used three hoes made by myself to get this clothes. What do you think, madam?"

The owner of the pavilion shook his head helplessly: "As long as you like it, these farmers will take advantage of you. They take the farm tools they have worked so hard to take at will, but you don't take any money. This time it's good, and I gave you a whole set of rags , you have become a baby."

"Ragged clothes also have their own benefits. You can try who is a layman with naked eyes."

"You mean the clock will?"

"Madam really knows my heart. Are you tired after coming all the way?" He held the hand of the pavilion master, and the two whispered their farewell feelings.

Jinhua watched from the side with envy and disgust: "These two people are simply showing their affection nakedly, abusing single dogs! It's too much!"

"Are you envious of this couple of gods and immortals?" Gao Shiqian whispered in her ear.

"What's the use of being envious..." She curled her lips, "It's really indescribable to see the scene of my idol's affection."

"Presumably, Zhong Hui will also be envious and jealous when he sees him. He didn't know the person he was looking for, and he had already given him a chance. Last night in the Guguan Pavilion, if Zhong Hui didn't send someone to drive away Ji Kang's disguise woodcutter, but invited him into the tent, maybe the two have already met each other."

"This is the fate between people, right? Different ways don't seek each other, and you can't force it." Jinhua said, "Zhong Hui is certainly shrewd, but he only looks at the world with a pair of worldly eyes, otherwise he wouldn't recognize it." The idol's true self has emerged."

"I don't recognize Miss Jinhua either..." Gao Shiqian teased her.

"I'm a modern person, so it's normal if I can't recognize you!"

The two were talking, and somehow the clock would have come close.Presumably he saw the Changle Pavilion master chasing him to the back of the house, so he also followed.

Jinhua looked nervously at Ji Kang, but saw that he had already put on a bamboo hat, and was sitting cross-legged with his back facing Zhong Hui.Zhong Hui looked around, but he didn't see the person he was looking for, so he saluted the Changle Pavilion Master, "Dare to ask the Pavilion Master, have you ever seen Mr. Ji?"

The pavilion owner tried his best to hide the embarrassment on his face: "I have never seen..."

"Then..." Zhong Hui craned his neck to look around again. Except for the woodcutter, Meng Jinhua and Gao Shiqian, there was no one else.

"Where are you two, have you seen him?" Zhong Hui asked them both.

Jinhua and Shiqian waved their hands together vigorously: "I've never seen it before!"

"This is strange..." Zhong Hui finally cast his eyes on the "woodcutter" beside him, walked up to him and said, "Have you ever seen Mr. Ji?"

The "woodcutter" waved his hands without raising his head.

"Yesterday you said you saw him in the mountains, but have you met him today?"

"Woodman" shook his head and didn't answer.

Zhong Hui took out a large ingot of white silver from his pocket, and handed it to the "woodcutter": "Just tell me his whereabouts, and this is yours."

The "woodcutter" slightly raised his eyes to glance at Yinzi: "This..."

"This ingot of silver is worth the money you'll spend cutting firewood for a lifetime." Zhong Hui said, stuffing the silver into the arms of the "woodcutter".

"Thank you, sir," the "woodcutter" took the money and pointed to the direction of the bamboo forest in the mountain, "I met Mr. Ji by the bamboo forest spring in the mountain this morning. The official from Luoyang came to look for him at home and asked me not to tell anyone about his whereabouts."

"That's right!" Zhong Hui straightened up, cupped his hands to the pavilion master, "Your official will take a step first, and when you find Mr., come and report to the pavilion master." After saying that, he rushed away happily.

Seeing that his men and horses had gone far away, the pavilion master stepped forward and said to Ji Kang, "He has gone far away, so there is no need to perform any more."

Ji Kang stood up, weighed the silver in his hands, and said with a smile, "I never thought that my whereabouts could be exchanged for a piece of silver. If I had known this, I would have stopped forging. I am tired and have no money to earn..."

"You, don't learn the words of these rascals in the market place," the pavilion master stepped forward to hold him and said, "Hurry up and follow me back to Luoyang, otherwise the clock will find no one in a while, and I will return again."

"It's a pity, this person only has fame, status, and yellow and white things in his eyes, and he is really not from my bamboo forest." Ji Kang sighed, and walked hand in hand with the pavilion master. He stopped, took off the hat on his head, and stared at them.

Jinhua didn't expect to be able to see Ji Kang face to face at such a close distance, and this was the first time in a long time that she saw his true face clearly.

The person in front of him is tall and straight. When he pretended to be a woodcutter, he purposely stooped his body before, but now he straightens his waist, which is more than 180 meters tall for modern people.With a clear and handsome face, long brows and starry eyes, his eyes are like shooting stars and clear water, making people dare not look directly at her, fearing that he will fall into the vast deep pool in an instant.Gu Pan is like a breeze falling into the pine, and every gesture is like a jade mountain swaying gently. Every word and deed is enough to affect the hearts of the world.

Looking at the Changle Pavilion Master who stood hand in hand with him, Jinhua sighed in his heart: such a Biren is really as graceful as a startling bird, as graceful as a dragon, which is hard to find in the world.

Ji Kang didn't care about her staring, as if he was used to this kind of scene, he smiled slightly and bowed to the two of them: "I just thank you two for hiding it."

"That, that..." Jinhua didn't expect that he would take the initiative to talk to him, but just looked at him stupidly, so nervous that he couldn't breathe.

"It's a little effort, why bother to thank you?" Gao Shiqian came to his senses and cupped his hands to Ji Kang.

"I saw the two of you coming with the bell, are you not his follower?"

"The two of us are just seamstresses in Luoyang City. We came with Zhong Hui because we wanted to see Mr. Zhong's true face. We are not followers of his residence."

"Anyway, thank you very much." Ji Kang bowed his hands to the two of them again, and then drifted away with the pavilion master.

After he left, Jinhua covered his mouth with his hands and was in a daze of joy. Gao Shichen curled his lips and said, "Look, I've given you beauty, and finally saw the true face of the idol, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfaction, great satisfaction! This trip to the Wei and Jin Dynasties is really a value-for-money experience!"

"Although he is so good, you can't be so successful, right? Is there such a big gap between my appearance and his?"

Jinhua looked at his pampering look, felt a little cute, and said meaningfully: "You and him are different, there is no need to compare." After saying that, he walked forward.

"It's different..." Gao Shiqian chased after him, "What's the difference?"

"Don't tell you."

While they were talking, Ji Kang and the owner of the pavilion got into the bullock cart and headed towards Luoyang City.Seeing the bullock cart go away, Jinhua felt lost for a while: "We should also think about how to go back."

"I know what clothes I want to draw!" Gao Shiqian said as he picked up the branches he had just used, and squatted on the ground to draw.After just a few strokes, an angry voice came from behind: "You two, how dare you lie to me..."

Looking back, it was actually Zhong Hui.
