CHAPTER XXXV. 4
In the Moon Pavilion, the dumb slave played with the green jade hairpin in his hand and drank all the wine in the cup.
"Still haven't heard from her?" he asked, looking at Su Wen, lipsing.
"If you hadn't wanted to inquire about her, you probably wouldn't have set foot in the Moon Pavilion again. Su Wen said lightly, Hao wrist lightly folded and poured wine into his cup, "The green hosta in your hand was bought in Yuliuzhai, right? I heard that the jewelry and jade there are luxury goods that the princes and grandsons of high-ranking officials and nobles will buy for a smile of beautiful women, and you buy this hosta, I don't know what price you paid?"
"It's not about you. He said.
"Dongfang Hengqing, I'm going to kill him sooner or later!" Su Wen's still calm tone was full of anger, "You know that he approached you just to take advantage of you, why did you follow him to the underground martial arts arena......?
"That's enough," the dumb slave stared at her, "it's not as bad as you say it is to sell force for money." ”
Su Wen smiled sadly, "This hairpin is only five hundred taels, you used to be the king of a country, and now in order to please a woman who does not have you in your heart, what about your pride? What about your ambition? For such a thing, you are covered with bruises, are you worthy of the Xirong soldiers who shed their blood for you under your account in the past?"
"If there is no news, I am gone. The dumb slave straightened up and looked at her, "In the future, I will find her in my own way, and I won't bother you." Also, I still say the same thing, I hope that you have never intervened in the disappearance of her and Mu Cheng. ”
Su Wen felt a chill in her heart, and when she saw that he was about to leave, she said, "You come back, as long as you are willing to come back, I will use the power of the entire Fire Sect to help you find her......"
The dumb slave paused, his hand holding the hairpin tightened, and then left without saying a word.
She told him that she was born in early spring and February. That day, when I saw the green hosta outside Yuliuzhai, I somehow remembered the light emerald color of Lili Fangcao, and how appropriate it should be to hold her black hair. Just a glance can not forget, once again through Yuliuzhai stopped to meet Dongfang Hengqing. Dongfang Hengqing originally intended to buy it and give it to him, but he refused. He had a grudge against Dongfang Hengqing, and he also remembered that she said that this person was not right-hearted, so he didn't want to entangle with this person. But Dongfang Hengqing seemed to know very well, and without saying a word, he took him to the underground martial arts arena and asked him if he was willing to participate in the competition to get paid.
After three life-and-death battles, he was scarred, but when he got the hairpin, his eyes were as soft as this green jade.
She said that she came back two days after entering the palace, and he had been waiting, waiting for the news of Mu Cheng's illness, and the news that the Xishan Grass Pavilion was burned down, but he couldn't wait for her.
Bloodstains, hidden weapons, and horses that were wounded by the power of their palms and died of exhaustion......
He finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and went to the Moon Pavilion to ask Su Wen, but there was still no news.
"Brother dumb slave, don't you come here to be harmed?" Dongfang Hengqing was dressed in a white brocade robe, with a gilt folding fan in his hand, standing in front of him gracefully and looking at him with concern, "What, seeing that your face is gloomy, is there still no news from Dr. Mei?"
The mute slave saluted him with a fist and left without saying anything.
"Xishan is at the junction of Tiandu and Huzhou, since Tiandu can't be found, if it's down, it's better to go back to Huzhou to try your luck than to wait for news every day. Dongfang Hengqing said.
"Thank you for your kindness. Mu Shi will inform you of the exact news as soon as he has it, so he doesn't bother with it. The dumb slave arched his hand and walked away.
"Childe, he still doesn't know what to do. Bao Huan looked at his back and said, "Do you want to teach him a lesson, so that he can change this bad habit that no one in his eyes has." ”
"Do you think he won't go to Huzhou?" Dongfang Hengqing said meaningfully, "After he left the Heavenly Capital, he made the killer sent by Helian Sen more quiet, which alarmed the Moon Pavilion, and probably, his true identity was revealed." If he can be used by me, he will be spared, if not, it will become a great gift to Helensen, so that Xijon will believe in the sincerity of my Oriental family even more. ”
"Mu Cheng obviously didn't die at our hands, why can't he hide now?"
"I wanted Mu Cheng to think that the man in black who sniped him was from Xirong, so that his Mu clan's strength could contain those killers a little, so that they would be attached to me. He couldn't hide that he probably felt that there were our people in the palace, so he wanted to wait and see what happened, this son, but he didn't let him get his wish. ”
There is a small town in Lujiang City, Huzhou, called Jude Town.
There is a Ye's fan village in Jude Town, and the "mud gold fan" made is a must in Huzhou.
"The fan is the instrument, the attitude is the way, and the fan is the way to appreciate the fan, and it is an elegant thing. Do you two understand?!" The old man Ye in the courtyard coughed twice, grabbed the teacup and poured two cups of tea and said loudly, while the target person was drowsy in the inner hall of Ye Yuan.
"The toothless old man is talking about you, cheer up!" The man in the green shirt closed the teacup and glanced at the woman in white with mottled ink, "You said you, but you just got up an hour earlier than usual, are you so sleepy?"
The woman glared at him, "You are opportunistic to make Old Man Ye think that you really come from some tea ceremony family, just brew him three times a day, but I have to act as his apprentice to Fan Zhuang, get up early every day and finish from the first process to the last one, persimmon, do you have a conscience?!"
Mu Cheng looked at her sympathetically, "I told you a long time ago, if you understand the tea ceremony, I can give you a seat." ”
Mei Ziyan was dumbfounded, and scolded stupidly: "Who would have thought that Old Man Ye would be so slammed? ”
It's true that he's not good. Knowing that forcible luck would cause the wound to crack, he also used the Shura palm power of the eight successful powers, but fortunately, he met the carriage and horse of Huzhou Yeyuan purchasing raw materials passing by, and she took advantage of the night to secretly drag the bleeding Mu Cheng into the car while she was resting at home. After arriving in Huzhou Ye Garden, Old Man Ye had a very good attitude after discovering the two of them, regardless of their origins, without asking their names, providing food, shelter and medicinal materials, so that Mei Ziyan could get the greatest convenience and treat Mu Cheng's injuries.
When Mei Ziyan was very glad that she had met a nobleman when she went out, Old Man Ye began to settle accounts with them. The carriage fee, accommodation fee, food fee, medicinal herb fee, and the service fee of the maid in the garden, only the water fee was not calculated with them, and in the end it was one hundred and eight hundred and eighty three dollars and four cents - if the two of them did not eat or drink, they would have to serve in the Ye Garden for two years, three months and four days.
There is a large dog in the leaf garden that is extremely loyal and has a body size similar to that of a mastiff. They want to steal, and it's not easy.
Mei Ziyan almost didn't turn her face with Old Man Ye, the old man smiled and said that if they didn't have the money to pay him back, he would go to report to the official, Mei Ziyan wanted to say that it was better for you to report to the official, but Mu Cheng nodded and agreed. When she and Mu Cheng saw the pool of soaked bamboo, the strange smell almost made the two of them vomit, but Mu Cheng still endured it, scooped up the bamboo, took the bamboo sharpening knife, broke the bamboo, and sharpened it into a fan bone.
That night, Mu Cheng's wound was a little cracked again, and the next day Mei Ziyan angrily went to find Old Man Ye to theorize, but saw Mu Cheng pointing to Old Man Ye's Dingyao teapot with a refreshed face and said:
"The old gentleman is a tea lover and knows how to use the precious porcelain jars produced by the kiln to fill the Junshan silver needles. However, I don't know if the old gentleman knows that boiling Junshan silver needles should be supplemented by white tea, and with the dragon roasting spring of Daping Mountain in Huzhou, it is really a must in the world!"
Old man Ye's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he only heard Mu Cheng say again: "The wonder of tea lies in the essence of the beginning, the method of concealment, and the proper ordering." Your tea is of the highest quality, and you know how to store it, if you can't make tea, it's a pity!"
So at that moment, Old Man Ye made a decision, Mu Cheng only needed to make three dishes of tea for him every day, and the deadline was three months to write off the debts.
In this way, he succeeded in fooling the invulnerable old man Ye? Mei Ziyan was stunned, and Mu Cheng raised a smug smile at her, very childish.
Mei Ziyan turned around and left with a blank face.
It's obviously a very hateful smile.,How can I look at it closely, I think it's a little cute.。 Mei Ziyan felt that she must be blinded by lack of sleep.
There were only two servants in the entire leaf garden, one was a deaf man in his forties, and the other was a stammering teenager. According to the young man Ah Qian secretly revealed to Mei Ziyan, there were originally five or six bamboo workers in Ye's Fan Village, but Old Man Ye had a bad temper and scolded people at every turn, and the salary was too low, and those people left;
It's really pitiful to bring people like this, Mrs. died early, didn't leave an heir, he also blamed, always unwilling to continue the strings, when he was alone and depressed, he drank tea, and sang two sentences of drama when he thought of the sad place, but he was also happy.
Besides, occasionally encountering a wronged leader like them, you can also chat to relieve your boredom.
"Old man Ye, you are noisy to death, you sing so badly, the overlord of Chu can't think about Wujiang and kill himself!" Mei Ziyan yelled at the self-absorbed old man Ye in the garden.
"Refresh you! You can't doze off and scratch my fan. Old man Ye smiled, "The girl has such a violent personality, be careful that no one dares to ask for it!"
Mei Ziyan was very angry, and just wanted to return the color, Mu Cheng handed a cup of tea to her mouth on the side, and the tea was fragrant.
"Don't be angry. He said, "Nobody wants it, I want it." ”
"Poof-" The tea that had just been eaten was all on Mu Cheng's shirt. Mei Ziyan pointed to the old man Ye in the garden helplessly, "That one is more suitable for you, he is alone, you are widowed, just a couple." Go and go, make him tea, and don't worry about Aunt Ben's fan. ”
Half a month passed quickly, and on the night of the end of November, it snowed heavily.
Mei Ziyan shrank in the quilt and shivered coldly, only to hear two knocks on the door, she opened the crack of the door with the quilt and saw that there was no one. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a pot of reddened things on the ground, which turned out to be a carbon stove.
She recognized that this was what he used when he made tea for Old Man Ye.
