The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

The moonlight was like water, casting shadows on the ground through the bamboo forest. The breeze blew gently, and the bamboo leaves rustled.

Ren Yingying sat on a stone chair, wearing a light green dress, with a graceful figure and long hair like a waterfall, emitting a soft luster under the moonlight.

"When did you come here?"

Yi Huawei smiled slightly and sat down next to Ren Yingying.

Ren Yingying's body stiffened slightly, she turned her head away and did not respond.

His eyes fell on Ren Yingying's profile, and Yi Huawei smiled:
"My master and I came here and arrived at Green Bamboo Lane, but you and Zhu Weng were not here. I thought you went back with Senior Ren."

Ren Yingying snorted softly: "Oh, you wish I wasn't here so I wouldn't disturb you and your junior sister, right?"

"Are you jealous?"

Yi Huawei reached out and gently held Ren Yingying's hand. Ren Yingying subconsciously tried to break free, but Yi Huawei held her tighter. He moved closer to Ren Yingying, almost close to her ear, and whispered:

"Yingying, no one can replace you in my heart. My love for you is evident to all."

Ren Yingying blushed, gently pushed Yi Huawei away, and said angrily: "You only know how to say sweet words to coax me."

Although he said this, his tone had obviously softened a lot, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Yi Huawei saw that she was smiling, and knew that she had calmed down a little. He rubbed Ren Yingying's hand and said, "I said it from the heart."

Ren Yingying struggled slightly, but failed to break free, so she let him hold her. She raised her head and looked at Yi Huawei:
"You didn't lie to me? You really don't have anything going on with your junior sister? I see you two... are really close. Even if you don't have any thoughts, your junior sister may..."

"Nonsense, Lingshan is just so old, how can she know what love is between a man and a woman? She has always treated me as a brother."

Yi Huawei said: "I will keep my distance from Junior Sister from now on and stop you from having wild thoughts."

As he spoke, he gently scratched Ren Yingying's nose with his other hand, and then placed Ren Yingying's hand on his chest, letting her feel his heartbeat.

Ren Yingying felt the warmth and strong heartbeat coming from Yi Huawei's chest. The grievance and jealousy in her heart gradually dissipated, and she gently hit Yi Huawei:
"You idiot, you just know how to coax me."

"Yingying, do you know? Every time I see you, I feel that no matter how dangerous this world is, it is nothing. As long as you are by my side, I have the courage to face everything."

Yi Huawei spoke softly, playing with Ren Yingying's hair with his fingers.

Ren Yingying leaned on Yi Huawei's shoulder: "Me too, I have never been so happy when I am with you."

The two of them snuggled up to each other quietly like this. In the Green Bamboo Alley, the only sound was the rustling of the bamboo leaves in the breeze and the occasional whispers of the two.

After an unknown amount of time, Ren Yingying suddenly sat up straight and looked at Yi Huawei: "Huawei, if we encounter greater difficulties in the future, will you still treat me like this?"

Yi Huawei looked at Ren Yingying seriously and held her shoulders with both hands: "Yingying, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side. I will not let anyone hurt you, even if it costs me my life."

Ren Yingying was moved when she heard Yi Huawei's words. She nodded gently and leaned into Yi Huawei's arms: "I believe you."

...............

The days in Luoyang are peaceful and leisurely.

Yi Huawei's daily life is filled to the brim. During the day, he accompanies Yue Lingshan to travel around, and the two of them travel through the streets and alleys of Luoyang, exploring every new and interesting corner of this ancient city.

Yue Lingshan was curious about everything. She would pull Yi Huawei to look here and there, and all kinds of interesting ideas and questions popped up from her mouth from time to time. Yi Huawei always responded patiently one by one.

Occasionally, Yi Huawei would teach Yi Feiyan swordsmanship, correcting her posture, explaining the principles of swordsmanship, and teaching her every move in great detail.

As night fell, Yi Huawei hurried to Green Bamboo Lane. At this time, Ren Yingying was already waiting in the pavilion.

In this way, beautiful days passed one by one. However, ripples would appear on the calm lake eventually.

One day, Ren Yingying was playing the zither in the Green Bamboo Lane when a white dove flew in with its wings flapping and landed in front of her window. Ren Yingying frowned slightly and stood up to take the letter off the pigeon's legs. When she unfolded it, her face changed slightly. The letter was from Ren Woxing, calling her back quickly.

Ren Yingying was filled with reluctance, knowing very well that this time she would not know when she would see Yi Huawei again.

The moment of separation finally arrived. The two stood at the entrance of the alley in the dim moonlight.

Ren Yingying raised her head and stared into Yi Huawei's eyes, her eyes full of love and reluctance. She slowly stood on tiptoe and kissed Yi Huawei gently on the cheek. Yi Huawei felt warm in his heart and held Ren Yingying's hand tightly, unwilling to let go for a long time. Yi Huawei turned around and left until Ren Yingying's figure disappeared into the night.

At this time, Yue Buqun and his party had been in Luoyang for more than half a month. Yue Buqun felt that it was time to leave, so he went to Wang's house to say goodbye to Wang Yuanba and his son. When Wang Yuanba learned that they were leaving, although he was reluctant, he could not keep them.

The five grandparents and grandchildren of the Wang family escorted them to the boat and presented them with generous travel expenses and food and wine. Yue Buqun and his wife bowed to Wang Yuanba, Wang Bofen and Zhongqiang brothers and said goodbye. The boatman raised the oars and cast off the mooring cable, and the big boat slowly sailed northward.

At the time of Chenpai the next day, the ship arrived in Kaifeng, but it was still some distance away from the provincial capital.

Yue Buqun looked at the scenery outside the window and suddenly laughed, "There is a place not far from here. It was the place where our Yue family was very famous in the past. We must go there."

Yue Lingshan's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Okay, I know, that is Zhuxian Town, the place where Grandpa Yue Pengju defeated Jin Wushu."

Anyone who studies martial arts has great respect for Yue Fei, who fought against the Jin Dynasty. Zhuxian Town, as the place where Yue Fei defeated the Jin army in the past, naturally makes everyone yearn for it.

Yue Lingshan was the first to jump onto the dock and shouted excitedly: "Let's go to Zhuxian Town quickly, and then rush to Kaifeng City for lunch." Everyone went ashore and set out on the journey to Zhuxian Town.

Yue Lingshan and Yi Huawei walked side by side. Along the way, Yue Lingshan kept pointing out the scenery along the roadside and enthusiastically recounting her experiences and ideas. Yi Huawei smiled and responded from time to time. The two whispered to each other and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Ning Zhongze looked at the two people's backs, feeling relieved but also a little worried. She tugged at her husband's sleeve and whispered, "Shan'er and Wei'er are young, and it's okay for a man and a woman to travel together in the mountains, but it's not appropriate in a big city. Let us two old people accompany them."

Yue Buqun smiled slightly and said, "You and I are not young anymore, so it doesn't matter if we are men or women."

Ning Zhongze laughed when he heard this, and rushed forward a few steps to his daughter's side. The four of them asked passers-by for directions and headed straight for Zhuxian Town.

After walking for more than half an hour, the outline of Zhuxian Town appeared before everyone.

The streets of the town are not wide, but they are bustling with people. The shops on the street are full of various handicrafts, special snacks, and weapons and protective gear, full of the atmosphere of the Jianghu. Yue Buqun led everyone to the Yue Fei Temple. The temple is solemn and majestic, with a plaque hanging above the temple gate, on which are written four big characters: "Serve the country with loyalty".

Yue Buqun was the first to walk into the temple, followed by the others. Inside the temple was a statue of Yue Fei, wearing armor, holding a spear, with a piercing gaze, as if he was still guarding this land.

Yue Buqun led everyone in respectfully performing the ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows in front of the statue to express their admiration for Yue Fei.

Afterwards, the crowd visited the temple. The walls of the temple were painted with Yue Fei's life story, from his birth to his battles, to his unjust death. Each painting was vivid, as if showing that magnificent history before everyone's eyes.

Yue Buqun was looking at the murals while telling his disciples the story of Yue Fei, explaining the martial arts principles and chivalrous spirit contained in it. The disciples listened with great interest and asked questions from time to time, which Yue Buqun answered patiently one by one.

After visiting the Yue Fei Temple, everyone walked around Zhuxian Town again. They arrived at the battlefield where Yue Fei defeated the Jin soldiers. Although it is now overgrown with weeds, one can still feel the atmosphere of the fierce battle back then.

After dinner, everyone returned to the boat and spent the whole night in silence.

The boat was sailing on the calm water. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the deck. With the gentle sound of flowing water, everyone gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, the sun rose, and the golden light shone on the river, making the waves sparkle. The wind was favorable, and the current also helped, so the boat moved very quickly. The boatman stood at the bow, skillfully manipulating the oars with a comfortable look on his face. With such good weather and good current, sailing was labor-saving and enjoyable. As the boat moved forward, the scenery on both sides of the river unfolded like a scroll, with green fields, scattered villages, and occasionally a few villagers who got up early to work.

That night, the boat was anchored not far from Lanfeng. The boatman had prepared food early, and everyone was about to eat when they heard someone on the shore say loudly:

"Excuse me, are the heroes of Huashan Sect on this ship?"

Yue Buqun put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, stood up and walked to the bow, with an upright posture, saluted, and responded in a loud voice: "I am Yue Buqun from Huashan Sect. May I ask what can I do for you, Excellency?"

When the man heard the answer, his tone was full of joy: "That's good, we have been waiting here for a day and a night. Quick, quick, bring it here."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten big men divided into two lines and walked out of a thatched hut on the shore, each holding a red lacquer box in his hand. An empty-handed man in a blue shirt quickly walked to the front of the boat, bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "I learned that Young Master Yue was here, and I missed you very much. I wanted to come to visit you in person, but I really couldn't make it back. I sent a pigeon to send you some gifts, please accept them, Young Master Yue."

After saying that, a group of big men filed onto the bow and placed more than a dozen boxes steadily on the boat in unison, their movements uniformly.

Yi Huawei walked out of the cabin and looked at the scene in front of him. Although he had guessed a little bit in his mind, he still pretended not to know and asked:

"I wonder who you are, Your Excellency? I am ashamed to accept such a generous gift."

He glanced at the man in blue and the boxes, with a look of confusion on his face.

The man in blue shirt bowed slightly and replied: "Young Master Yue, my gang leader said you know."

After saying this, he bowed again, turned around and left with a group of men, and soon disappeared into the night.

Yi Huawei looked at Yue Buqun and his wife, with a hint of confusion on his face, and shrugged:

"I don't know who gave me this gift, it's really strange."

At this time, several people from Lu Dayou could no longer suppress their curiosity and said in unison: "Open it and take a look first."

As they spoke, several people hurriedly opened the lids of the vermilion lacquered boxes one by one.

The first box was filled with exquisite snacks in various shapes and with fragrant aromas, obviously carefully made; the second box contained smoked chicken and ham and other snacks for drinking, the colors were tempting, which made people's appetite increase; then, there were precious and nourishing medicinal materials such as ginseng, deer antler, bird's nest, and white fungus, each of which was of high quality; the last two boxes were filled with small gold and silver ingots, which sparkled attractively under the light, obviously for use on the road.

Everyone was amazed when they saw the gifts on the boat. Although the gift givers called them "few gifts", the value of these things added up was indeed quite high.

Yi Huawei held the snacks in his hands and walked up to Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, saying respectfully, "Master, Madam, please enjoy." He then distributed them to his fellow junior brothers and sisters.

Yue Buqun took the snack, frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then asked: "Do you have any friends in the martial arts world who live in this area?"

Yi Huawei pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "No."

While everyone was still guessing, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far away. Eight horses came galloping along the river, and someone shouted, "Is Young Master Yue of the Huashan Sect here?"

The sound echoed in the night sky.

Yi Feiyan heard the call and responded happily: "Here, here!"

The man then shouted, "The leader of our gang learned that Young Master Yue had come to Lanfeng, so he ordered me to collect sixteen jars of aged wine and come all the way here to invite Young Master Yue to drink on board."

As the sound of horse hooves approached, everyone saw two jars of wine hanging steadily on the saddle of each horse. Some of the jars were inscribed with "Top Tribute Wine", some were inscribed with "Three Pots of Good Fen", and some were inscribed with "Shaoxing Champion Red". The sixteen jars of wine seemed to be different, each representing a different brewing process and flavor.

Yi Huawei walked up to the bow, bowed and said, "Forgive my ignorance, I don't know which gang you belong to? What's your name, brother?"

The man smiled and said, "The leader of our gang has repeatedly told me not to mention the name of our gang to Young Master Yue. He said that this small gift is too humble and it would be embarrassing to mention the name of our gang again."

After saying that, he waved his left hand, and immediately the passengers skillfully brought down the jars of fine wine and placed them on the bow. They moved swiftly, holding a jar of wine in each hand, and jumped lightly onto the bow. None of the eight people had any remarkable martial arts, but it was obvious that the eight people were not from the same sect, and it seemed that they were indeed members of the same gang.

After the eight men carried the sixteen jars of wine to the bow, they bowed to Yi Huawei and then mounted their horses and rode away. The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, leaving behind only a boat full of fine wine and everyone's doubts.

Yi Huawei laughed and said, "Master, this is really strange. I don't know who played this joke on me and sent me so many jars of wine."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine jar, poured a bowl, held it in front of Yue Buqun with both hands, and said, "Master, please try it. This wine is really good."

Yue Buqun frowned slightly and said "hmm". Before he could speak, Lao Denuo stepped forward and said, "Master, we must be on guard against others. I don't know who sent this wine, so how can we know there is nothing strange in it."

Yue Buqun nodded, turned his gaze to Yi Huawei, and said, "Wei'er, you'd better be careful."

As soon as Linghu Chong smelled the mellow aroma of the wine, he could no longer resist and said with a smile, "Disciple is willing to give it a try." As he spoke, he held the bowl with both hands, drank it all in a few gulps, and praised, "Good wine, good wine!"

I could only hear someone on the shore praising loudly: "Good wine, good wine!"

Several people looked towards the source of the voice, and saw a ragged scholar under a willow tree, waving a broken fan in his right hand, looking up and sniffing the aroma of wine wafting from the boat, and shouting:

"It's really a good wine!" (End of this chapter)
