After crossing the bridge, we arrived at the real Hongye Village.

Hongye Village is a small building surrounded by a wall, which tightly surrounds the small building.

It looks red from the outside. When the mountains and fields are covered with red maples, this small building shouldn't be too conspicuous, but now it's still very abrupt.

After entering, I found that the space inside was quite large, more than enough to accommodate them.

The first thing I saw was a spacious hall with a long table and chairs placed around it. There was an upward staircase in the middle, with about thirty steps at the end. Then it went up to the left and right, and the two

The upper floor is divided into two distinct spaces: left and right.

There are also stairs leading to the third floor in the corridor on the second floor, which are still the same as before, divided into left and right sides.

In other words, to go to the third floor on the left, you must pass through the stairs on the left of the second floor. Similarly, the same goes for the right.

The staircase divides the entire building into two parts, the left and right. Although the entire layout can be seen from the lobby, the left and right parts cannot communicate with each other.

There are already two women waiting here in the village. The leader claims to be the owner of Hongye Village. He should be in his thirties or forties. He looks young. Only the wrinkles around his eyes when he smiles show that he is no longer young.

.

The other young man should be someone closer to her, and he has been standing quietly by her side.

The hostess smiled and said: "These are the guests who made the reservation! Two guests have already arrived first and are already waiting here."

As soon as the hostess finished speaking, another very arrogant voice sounded from the other end of the room.

"Are you too slow? The two of us have already arrived."

Two young men walked over from the shadows. One was wearing brown clothes, had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and was as thin as a monkey.

The other one in white looked more dignified. The words just now were obviously coming from him. He continued: "Have we not seen each other for more than a year?"

Shen Qinglin's expression changed, and he turned to question Chen Wei, "You said they wouldn't come, so I came."

After he questioned this, he actually turned around and pulled Shen Qingyu over to leave.

Shen Qingyu was so small that she staggered and almost fell. She was helped by Fan Qiuhua next to her before she stopped.

After such a delay, Chen Wei took three steps at a time and stopped in front of Shen Qinglin, "We are all classmates, don't do this."

Shen Qinglin's face turned pale with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have come."

This was the first time Shen Qingyu saw Shen Qinglin looking coldly at someone other than her, but she didn't know what kind of feud there was between the three of them.

The man in white from before spoke again, "Sure enough, today is different from the past. The son of a small official back then is now a noble son of the Minister of Industry. Naturally, he does not want to mix with the likes of us."

These words were heart-breaking. Shen Qingyu heard Master Wen say that when Shen Qinglin entered Fanshan Academy, Shen Zhongwen was just a minor official. In just eight years, he had already climbed several levels and was enjoying unlimited glory.

He almost pointed at Shen Qinglin and said that he looked down on his former classmates because of his changed status.

Shen Qinglin sneered and said nothing, but still insisted on leaving. Chen Wei stepped forward, grabbed Shen Qinglin's arm, and persuaded: "Look at my face, eh?"

The young man in white said with a smile: "By the way, I can't leave because of Mr. Chen's face! Who has as much face as him?"

Chen Wei's face was distorted for a moment, and he forced a smile and said: "We are all classmates, stop being like this."

Shen Qinglin was pulled back to where he was.

The originally harmonious atmosphere became a lot stiffer because of these two new young people, and even someone as slow as Shen Qingyu felt the difference.

In order to ease the atmosphere, a man who looked older than Shen Qinglin said to the two men: "Why don't you wait for us outside? We didn't see you two, so we thought you weren't coming."

Shen Qingyu remembered that this man's name was Lei Xizhou. His family had been royal merchants for generations and they were very wealthy.

This time it was not the man in white who spoke, but the thin monkey in brown. He grinned and said: "What? We are in dire straits now, so we need to wait for you?"

Lei Xizhou smiled awkwardly, turned his head to the side, and stopped talking.

No one spoke for a while. Shen Qingyu's eyes secretly turned around on these people's faces, and found that except Shen Qinglin's face, which was still angry, the other six men's faces were either embarrassed or uncomfortable, and none of them had natural expressions.

The two girls must have heard their brother talk about these two people, but they didn't say anything.

Shen Qingyu decided that when he went back, he would describe to her in detail the appearance of these students with "good conduct" in Mr. Wen's words.

Just when the atmosphere was about to take a turn for the worse, the hostess said, "It's getting late today. If you don't want to go, I'll take you upstairs to rest. I'll take you around Hongye Village tomorrow."

Her words broke the stiff atmosphere in the room, and everyone stood up following her words.

The hostess led Shen Qingyu and his party upstairs to arrange the rooms. When she went upstairs, her body was swaying. She must have a leg problem.

She separated men and women according to left and right, with men living on the left and women on the right.

She asked the young woman who was accompanying her to take the man to the stairs on the left, and she took Shen Qingyu and others up the stairs on the right.

From her words, Shen Qingyu also learned that she lived by renting Zhuangzi to these people who came out to play.

Hongye Manor not only includes this small building, but also includes several houses across the bridge. The servants in the manor stay there. Only when the guests need it, will they arrange servants in the small building.

Although Shen Qingyu and his party said they wanted to live in Hongye Village by themselves, the hostess was considerate and brought someone here who would help with anything. She would never let such young masters and ladies really go hungry.

possibility of arrival.

The four rooms on the second floor on the right are enough for Shen Qingyu's three girls and their maid.

On the other side, it was noisy, and I heard the noise was caused by the room assigned to it.

From Shen Qingyu's side, he could see everything about the other party clearly.

The main quarrel was between the man in white and the man in brown. Even though they were almost the same no matter which room they stayed in, the two insisted on seeing every room on the second and third floors before making a choice.

Qian Zheng thought it was troublesome and said that everyone could live wherever they wanted, but the two refused.

Shen Qingyu heard the man in white raise his voice and said: "Do you find it troublesome? This is really strange. Aren't some people able to revise a paper a dozen times or even dozens of times? Why do you suddenly find it troublesome now?"

.”

Qian Zheng stopped making any sound. The man in white sneered and pushed Qian Zheng away and strode forward.
