    Along the picturesque West Lake in Hangzhou, there is a rock mountain not far from Qiantang Gate, the northwest gate of Hangzhou. There are many small red stones shining in the rock mass. Whenever the sun shines, the mountain is full of brilliance, especially in the morning or sunset.  When the red light of the mountain is bathed, it is extremely dazzling, as if countless gems are shining, hence the name Gem Mountain.

    Not far from Baoshi Mountain is the famous Qixialing Ziyun Cave in Hangzhou, and on the mountainside just north of Ziyun Cave, there is another private garden surrounded by red maple trees, with high halls and wide houses.  , gray tiles and white walls, winding streams and corridors, lakes and stones stacked with peaks, dotted with pavilions, luxurious yet elegant, quiet and elegant.  In late autumn, the maple forests around the house turn red, attracting countless tourists to linger. The literati recite poems and reciting poems, and the owner of the garden often goes out of the city with his family to enjoy the maple leaves, visit the mountains, write essays and read books.

    Late October is close to early winter, and the maple leaves on the mountain have basically fallen. If it were to change from previous years, the owner of the garden would have gone back to the city to escape the severe winter cold, leaving only a few servants to look after and clean it.  But this year is different. At this time of this year, the garden is not only full of people, but also in full swing. Team after team of servants are carrying big and small bags, loading cars, and harnessing horses.  There are many horses in the warehouse, and many servants are moving the grain in the warehouse to the cellar for storage. People are screaming and yelling, and it is a mess.

    It was a young couple who directed these servants to move the property. The husband was dressed as a literati, and the wife was holding a young child. The clothes were very simple, and there were patches on the coarse clothes, which did not match the luxury of this garden.  Beside the couple, there is a petite girl in her teens, with a pair of dark, round eyes on her delicate and immature face.  She is absolutely shrewd, and the clothes on her body are also very luxurious and exquisite, which is also in stark contrast to the young couple.

    "Be careful! That huanghuali official hat chair made by Su is the treasure of the previous dynasty! If it breaks! You will prepare my family for a lifetime of white labor!"

    "Two idiots! Blind? You can knock against a marble screen, and the paint is off. Do you see it?! Be careful! Be careful!"

    "Wine cellar! Wine cellar! Thirty altars of old Shaoxing Huang in the wine cellar must be moved away! It is something my father likes. If you lose it, be careful of being whipped! Hurry! Hurry¡ª!"

    It was not the scholar husband who kept making such shouts, nor the young woman holding the child, but the young girl who was only eleven or twelve years old. Basically, from the beginning to the end, what echoed in the yard was that year.  The sharp childish voice of a young girl, a pair of white jade-like hands on her waist, her aggression, and her little red lips seemed to be constantly spitting out flames and poisonous smoke. It never stopped for a moment, and she scolded many servants like dogs.  Head, command is not feet touch the ground.  In the end, even the young woman couldn't listen anymore, so she could only say to the young girl in a low voice: "Little sister, please stop scolding a few words, they have already tried their best and are already moving as soon as possible."

    "Sister, it's not that I want to scold them, and I don't want to urge them!" The young girl turned her face and said angrily, "But can I not urge them? The Wu bandits and white-capped soldiers are coming soon,  Why don't you quickly transport these things back to the city and leave them here for the Wu Dog bandit soldiers to snatch them?!"

    "That's the truth, but there's no need to be in such a hurry, right?" The young woman said helplessly, "Didn't my cousin say that Wu Gou won't arrive in Hangzhou until tomorrow evening or the morning after tomorrow? We still have more than a day."

    "Sister, do you dare to listen to my cousins?" The young girl jumped three feet high and said viciously: "If it wasn't for their dirty hands and feet, I would personally come to Ziyun Garden to supervise the removal of the family property? You listen to them,  Just wait to be fooled!"

    "Little sister, brother-in-law doesn't like to hear your words." The young scholar finally opened his mouth and said with displeasure on his face: "My father-in-law wants me and your sister to bring our family to Ziyun Garden to move the family property. Are you  You are also afraid that your brother-in-law's hands and feet will be unclean, and you will take advantage of your family?"

    "Brother-in-law, I meant my cousin and I didn't mention you!" The young girl's tone was even more unhappy, "If my father doesn't believe you, will he let you come here to move the family property? I'll follow you, why don't I watch it?"  When my sister brings my nephew, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it alone, so don't take my kindness as a donkey!"

    "Okay, my husband, my little sister, please don't say a few words." The young woman was busy trying to smooth things over, and then quickly changed the subject and asked: "Little sister, if I remember correctly, the rent that our family collected  It seems that they are all transported back to the city or stored in the Zhuangzi in Lin'an, why is there so much food stored in Ziyun Garden this year?"

    The young girl looked left and right, beckoned her sister to be short, and whispered in her ear.sp; "Little sister, please stop talking, okay?" Hong Sheng's wife trembled and whispered, "After entering here, whether we can get out alive is another matter, you still have the mind to count the money?  "

    "Can you blame me? It's useless to blame my brother-in-law!" The young girl retorted in a low voice, kicked Hong Sheng's back quietly, and whispered in Hong Sheng's ear: "Brother-in-law, if you don't want my sister to die,  If you don¡¯t want me to die, you¡¯d better not report the life experience of me and my sister, and just give us a fake name. Otherwise, once the white-capped soldiers of the dog know my family background, my sister, your wife, and I  Neither my nephew nor your son can run away, do you understand?!"

    Hong Sheng tremblingly agreed in a low voice, but his body was still trembling like a wobble. The young girl secretly cursed a trash, and quickly calculated, "From the tone of these Wu rebels, we should be sent to see Wu  Lu Yifeng, the general of the rebel army who conquered the East¡ªI heard that Lu Yifeng is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, holding a gold ingot in his left hand and a silver ingot in his right hand, the ingots can never be used up, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true.¡±  (To be continued.
