Pegasus Ranch is southwest of Jingling County, and the Zhang River and Ju River converge into a fertile plain, with abundant resources and dense grass.

Lu Miaozi stood on the mountain, pointed his hand at a field below, and said, "You see, there are only two gorges, east and west, for entry and exit. The situation is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is naturally a fortress.

In addition, a deep pit dug in the exit manually and supplemented by a suspension bridge, one man is the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. Only then can the pasture survive for so many years and be able to gain a great reputation."

Jiang Yan looked over and found that there were indeed sentry towers and forts in each dangerous place and key location. However, he didn't care much about the affairs of such military strategists. He only enjoyed the spring of spring in March, grass grows and birds fly, and the sun goes on, and the cattle and sheep come down.

More than ten lakes of all sizes are as clear as mirrors, and a small river winds like a dancing ribbon. Looking further to the higher terrain of the northwest corner, there is a city built, with a steep cliff as walled as a cliff, which is very majestic.

There is the core of Pegasus Ranch. Shang Xiong, the first generation owner, found here after Liu Yu took over the Jin Dynasty. It has only been this scale for 150 years, and even several surrounding towns are descendants of the ranch.

Lu Miaozi led him to look for a while, turned around and walked towards the back mountain, twisting and turns, and climbed several times, the moon climbed up to the branches before reaching an extremely secret courtyard in the back mountain.

The yard is quite large, and the layout is particularly exquisite. The corridor is back, and the flowing water of the small bridge, and the pear blossoms bloom freely. A pavilion stands above the lotus pond, and three or two willow trees around it are hanging down branches, like a beauty washing her hair under the moon.

"The moon is melting in the pear blossom courtyard, and the willow catkins and pond is faintly breeze." Jiang Yan blurted out and looked around involuntarily. It was a resort that was quiet and unique. He couldn't help but ask:

"Master, is this the golden house where you hide?"

Lu Miaozi was intoxicated by Jiang Yan's poems, and his face was gloomy. When he heard the allusion of "hiding a delicate beauty in the golden house" behind him, he was so angry that his beard was raised and shouted: "If you don't learn and use a few allusions, you will use them randomly."

"Puchi!" A laugh came from the pavilion. A woman slowly stood up and said softly: "Miaojun, is this your disciple you have taken? It's so interesting."

Jiang Yan looked over and saw that the other party was only about forty. But a few strands of silver threads on the bun were clearly distinguished in the moonlight; his cheeks were slightly concave, but they were not mean at all. Instead, they were an abnormal pale layer, revealing a little bit of pathology, which made people feel pity.

Lu Miaozi showed heartache, disgusted the winding corridor of the pavilion, and nipped his feet, walked on the water, fell into the pavilion, took off his cloak, put it on the woman, and said with a little reproach: "Qingya, it's cold at night, and I don't know when I will return, so you shouldn't wait here."

"It's okay. The weather is very good today. I am greedy for the flowers and plants in the courtyard and sit for a while." Shang Qingya said: "If it weren't for this, how could I be lucky to hear such a good sentence?"

Jiang Yan originally thought that Bi Xiu's heart was already gentle, but this woman's voice, behavior and even face were all more gentle. It was not the kind of compassion that looked down on Ci Hang Jingzhai, but the love for the world and all things.

He walked around the corridor, stepped forward and bowed, and said, "Disciple Jiang Yan, I have seen the master's wife!"

Shang Qingya quickly pulled him up and said in a warm voice: "The ground is cold, be careful that it is cold. Besides, your master has never liked red tape, so you should be more free and easy."

Lu Miaozi snorted and said, "No need to treat him. If you don't discipline him well, you won't know what wildness looks like."

"Yes, Yan'er was indeed wrong. What kind of beauty is hidden in the golden house? It is clearly because Empress Lu met Emperor Gaozu." Shang Qingya remembered just now, pursed her lips and smiled even more, and said, "Oh, this metaphor seems to be inappropriate."

Seeing the couple's deep love, Jiang Yan murmured in a low voice: "It turns out that they are just a soft rice. This is true great wisdom. No wonder Master can be called the world's number one versatile talent. He even has such skills."

Before Lu Miaozi could react, he had already turned around, left here to the two of them, and trotted all the way to a small building behind him, and found a small room to meditate.

After a while, Shang Qingya brought a bowl of snow-eared lotus seed soup, watched him finish eating gently, chatted about some homely affairs, and packed up the dishes and left.

Jiang Yan looked at her thin figure, thought for a while, and then fell asleep.

...

Early the next morning, there was a thud of footsteps outside, and then the door was pushed open, and one person stopped at the head of the bed, saying a crisp voice: "Mom also said that a master with a very literary talent, junior brother, why is he a lazy person? You can't get up now?"

Jiang Yan easily guessed that this was Shang Xiuxun. He was upset and turned over and said, "You are a few months younger than me. Master said that you should make up for the year, so you should be my junior sister."

The morning sun shone through the window and sprinkled down from behind Shang Xiuxun's head, dyeing a crop of hair golden. Her skin color was not as white as Shi Feixuan and Shi Qingxuan, and her slightly wheat-colored skin was healthier and wilder.

She frowned, with a little disbelief on her face and said, "You, you are lying to others! You should be the junior brother who is entering the game later!"

Seeing her hesitating, Jiang Yan felt relieved, stood up straight, jumped out of bed, half a head higher than Shang Xiuxun, looked down on tiptoe, and said, "If you don't believe it, go and ask your master's wife."

Shang Xiuxun stopped talking, snorted and ran out of the building.

Jiang Yan giggled secretly. If she was asked to find Lu Miaozi, the master would be soft-hearted when his daughter acted spoiled. I am afraid that he would confirm his position as a junior brother. Now he was deceived by him. It would be completely different when he came to Shang Qingya.

"However, it is obvious that junior sister Xiuxun has a good relationship with her master. Why did she regard the other party as an enemy after her master's wife died?" He thought about it for a while, but he couldn't find the point, so he went to wash first before he got to the yard.

In the bamboo forest in front of the building, there is a bamboo pavilion. Shang Xiuxun faces his back to this side, lowers his head, and twitches his shoulders.

Jiang Yan suddenly felt a little angry. If Lu Miaozi knew that his baby daughter was bullied, he might say anything to him. He hurriedly stepped forward and walked around in front and said, "Junior sister, don't..."

I saw Shang Xiuxun put his hands on the table, holding a piece of pastry on each side, and having a piece in his mouth. He chewed hard, and his left face bulged out.

Seeing Jiang Yan coming, she quickly stuffed the white cake in her right hand into her mouth, her cheeks bulged into a hamster, and grabbed the last piece of the plate in her hand, looking at the other party with a little hostility.

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment and swallowed the words he said.

At this time, Shang Qingya came over with a basket and put it on the table. Looking at the empty plate, she said helplessly: "You little greedy cat, have you eaten a plate? She also secretly ate your senior brother's breakfast, put it down quickly!"

Shang Xiuxun reluctantly put the two pieces of pastry back on the plate, grabbed the edge of the plate, swallowed half his mouth hard, and said, "Senior brother, you smell it first, maybe you don't like it?"

Only then did Jiang Yan realize that the breakfast prepared by the master's wife for him was eaten by the little girl. He turned his head to the side and said, "Master, are you getting up?"

Taking advantage of Shang Xiuxun's head, he quickly snatched the plate, handed two pieces of pastry on his hands, took a bite from each other, and then sat on the opposite side and put the pastry back on the plate.

Shang Xiuxun forgot to chew, stayed there, raised his hand and pointed at the other party, and said, "You...you..."

Jiang Yan calmly took out a bowl of meat porridge from the basket and delivered it to his mouth. He took a sip and deliberately smacked his mouth.
