Chapter 252: Immortal Residence

As the saying goes, the cool breeze comes, the white dew falls, and the cicadas chirp. Although the White Dew solar term has long passed, autumn is the most colorful season in Jiuhua Mountain.

Perhaps it is the unique natural creation of Jiuhua Mountain that makes this mysterious forest covered with clouds and mist all year round never so hot or cold, and the autumn scenery is even more unique.

The clouds are clear and the mist is clear, the sky is high and the air is clear, the air is gloomy, like a dream and a illusion, full of nature, like an immortal who is independent of the world, and is not afraid of favors and disgraces, and there is no intention to stay or leave. Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, a thousand years ago, it has always been an ideal place for seclusion for masters and scholars.

At the foot of Jiuhua Mountain, this restaurant called "Exiled Immortals" is the only restaurant within a radius of twenty miles. It is also the most luxurious family in Qingyang, and it is also very famous. Because after Zhang Wenbiao and Wei Cen met in the county government, Wei Cen led everyone here without hesitation and familiarity. The place where the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor of the dynasty was remembered by the current dynasty shows that his reputation is quite famous.

Why is this? In addition to the reason why you can see the beautiful scenery of the mountains and forests here, you naturally have the weight of the giant living in seclusion in the mountains.

As a few buildings at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain, the three-story winery stands out against the hazy mountain scenery of the dusk. But in terms of appearance, it is actually not very good.

Although the red painted gallery columns are thick and grand, they look vulgar and boring. Although the plaque on the tall gate tower is shining with golden light, the words on it are rigid and tidy, and it looks unsightly.

A row of huge red lanterns hang in front of the door, with more joy and less taste. It contrasts with the beautiful scenery of the mountains and forests behind me, which shows that this famous restaurant is actually inseparable from the worldly appearance, and it is not even as artistic as the small building buildings by the Qinhuai River.

I am used to seeing the scene of Jinling City. When I came to this mountain and saw this flashy and vulgar wine shop, it was even worse than the most prosperous wine shop in Jinling West City. For the wealthy officials who came from the capital, I naturally felt a little distant. Even Zhang Wen said that this wine shop felt vulgar, let alone Wei Cen, the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor?

According to Wei Cen's identity, others probably wouldn't have expected that the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor would eat in such a place. Not to mention the environment, the food in the mountains and fields would definitely not be very good. However, Wei Cen and Zhang Wenbiao came here not just for the sake of eating, but for other important matters, so why would they care about so much?

"Once one is a beauty of creation, how can one be found in the world?"

As soon as Wei Cen and Zhang Wenbiao arrived here, Zhang Wenbiao stared at the quatrains on both sides of the gate of the Exiled Immortal House, as if they were out of sight. After a trance, the two strolled into the hall of the Exiled Immortal House, and felt that the heat waves were coming in front of them. After the seemingly quiet and lonely door, so many diners were eating in the hall. The guys shouted and shuttled back and forth to deliver tea and water, and looked like a busy scene.

If so many diners can attract, others will definitely think that the taste of the food is wonderful, but in fact, these people who choose to eat in remote mountains and fields are not just for a single meal, but have extraordinary purposes.

Most of these diners are either rich or noble, but there are also a small number of unknown people who have not been successful for a long time. They gather here for the same purpose, or waiting for an opportunity to meet the master in the mountains, an opportunity that can change their own destiny.

At this time, a clean friend came forward and looked at the outfits of Wei Cen and Zhang Wenbiao, one with a gorgeous dress and the other with a plain silk robe. Behind him were several armored soldiers with a tiger-backed and bear-waisted waisted guards. With years of experience in welcoming guests, he glanced at him and knew that he was not an ordinary person. He immediately greeted with diligence: "Two distinguished guests, are they eating?"

Wei Cen seemed to be very familiar with the exiled immortals. He walked by himself and nodded, "Is there a quiet place?"

"Yes, there are private rooms on the second and third floors, but the prices are different."

Wei Cen responded expressionlessly: "Money is not a problem, wherever you are pure and elegant, you can go wherever you are."

"Okay! Two distinguished guests will follow me upstairs." The guy shook his head and shouted, and hurriedly led the way.

Wei Cen and Zhang Wenbiao followed the guy up the stairs at the top of the hall, and went up the stairs along the wooden stairs. They reached the second floor and became much quieter immediately. A flower and bird screen blocked the entrance of the stairs, blocking the sound waves and protecting the secrets of diners.

But the guy did not stop, but went straight to the third floor. On the third floor, it was even quieter and silent. The decorations on it subverted all the previous impressions of this restaurant. The screens of flowers, birds, insects, fish and ladies' pictures separated several private rooms, and there were many famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and many poems and essays were entrusted. A copper stove with sandalwood beak was placed in the corner, and a faint cigarette was sprayed out from the beak, which made people feel at ease.

"Two distinguished guests, there are no guests on the third floor for the time being. The two of them just choose a private room to take the seat. The villain goes to bring some tea." The guy smiled.

Suddenly, Wei San, the head of the guard behind Wei Cen, came out and pulled the clerk to speak indifferently: "Don't cook tea for too long, don't add too many seasonings. My noble family has a light taste."

The guy was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "The villain obeys the order." After that, he turned around and hurried downstairs.

Zhang Wenbiao looked at Wei Cen and smiled and said, "Wei envoys pay attention to people."

Wei Cen smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing, it's easy and easy. I can't sit for long anyway."

Zhang Wenbiao nodded and smiled, and asked, "Where are you sitting? There is a window in the south. Is it good to sit next to the window?"

Wei Cen shook his head and said, "There are only high-rise buildings at the foot of the mountain. If you sit next to the window, you will be clearly seen by those who are interested. When you get here, it's better to be cautious."

Zhang Wenbiao did not say anything, but he thought in his heart that Wei Cen was an old world. This envoy was probably worried that someone would be secretly following him, and that he would still be a heart-wrenching problem along the way.

The two chose a private room in the middle. Zhang Wenbiao accidentally saw that the signature of the poem on the wall actually contained Wei Cen's name, and the engraving position was very conspicuous, just among the top few poems. Zhang Wenbiao was very surprised. Obviously Wei Cen must have been here, but no one here seemed to know him, which was a bit strange...

So Zhang Wenbiao stood up and continued to check along the wall. He actually saw many important officials of the dynasty's dynasty's writing poems. It seemed that these people had eaten and drunk in this restaurant.

However, a mottled part on the wall aroused Zhang Wenbiao's interest. There was a space between the poems at the highest point. It was obviously another person's poem, but it seemed to be scraped away with a knife, which seemed very annoying and ugly.

The guy came up with a hot teapot, and while accusing the two of them of waiting for a long time, he quickly poured tea for them. Zhang Wenbiao pointed to the mottled parts on the wall and asked, "Waiter, what's going on with this wall?"

The guy looked back and saw a blank look flashing in his eyes. Then he turned around and patted his forehead and smiled, "Oh, the villain forgot this matter. I have to use a painting to block the shopkeeper's order. No customers have come to the third floor for dinner these days, so the villain forgot about this matter. It's hindering, sorry, sorry, the villain then hangs the painting to block it."
