Chapter 22: Jade Meditation

If you say where the scenery is the best in the capital, everyone will have their own opinion, but if you say where the dim sum is the most delicious, Yujingzhai is second to none. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The pavilion built by the water next to Jingyue Lake is surrounded by partition doors and railing corridors, which are convenient for diners to look out of the window or by the railing.

The beautiful environment and delicious food make this place overcrowded, but the inns in the capital have some special floors. It's so quiet that even the attendants rarely see it, just because the guests who come here usually bring their own waiters.

And the three floors above Yujingzhai are such places.

At this moment, there was such a guest in a side room, and his attendant sat quietly by the window and looked into the distance.

There are several hot springs in the middle of the lake, so even in the middle of winter, there is still not a trace of ice crystals on the smooth surface of the lake. There is water vapor floating on the turquoise water, and when the temperature drops sharply or the water vapor disperses, you will have the illusion of being in a fairyland.

At this time, there is a thin layer of fog on the lake, and the cruise ships on the lake are still clearly visible.

Xiao Er gently knocked on the door that was just hidden, "Guest officer, the four-color dim sum you ordered and the recent new products are all on board, I don't know what else you need?"

At this time, it was only the beginning of the day, and the downstairs was already full of people, but most of the guests upstairs would not come at this time, so it seemed particularly deserted.

The boy in white seemed to be thinking about something, and he didn't notice Xiao Er's question at all, and the attendants beside him didn't seem to want to disturb his son's contemplation with superfluous voices, so he only sent Xiao Er out with a gesture and an ingot of silver.

Xiao Er was also very interested, and immediately held his breath and turned his back to his son-in-law to the window, and then left the wing lightly.

A moment after Xiao Er left the room, the man in white seemed to realize the passage of time and spoke.

"Are you talking about three days later?" the man in white still stared at the lake outside the window, refusing to look away.

"Yes, Childe. Miss Li has also accepted the jade pendant. In addition to answering the specified question, the attendant added another one to let his son-in-law know more in detail.

After another silence, time seemed to flow more slowly, as if the endless flow of daylight had invaded the lake in front of it.

Then there was a knock on the door, like a few stones, that fell heavily into the long stream of condensed chunks, shattering them again and allowing them to flow again.

Xiao Er took a piece of white jade accessories with a delicate texture and luster and moisture into the wing.

The attendant standing by the door took the jade pendant, inspected it, and nodded, "Okay, got it." How many people are there, where are they now?"

Xiao Er replied with a smile: "The two, a son and his scholar, are in the private room on the second floor at this time. ”

The attendant raised his hand and motioned for Xiao Er to wait outside the door, and he came to Gongzi's side and returned the jade pendant to the original owner.

Li Jin promised Xiangxue to come to this Jade Jingzhai during her illness to accompany her to taste the new potpourri cake, but she didn't expect that the person who called herself Huaixi would also meet Li Jin here.

Therefore, Li Jin decided to settle these two agreements together.

However, his body has been sick, maybe there is something in his heart, Li Jin's illness has always been good and bad. Today finally got a lot better, pestering her mother and finally gaining freedom for half a day, Li Jinfei also came to Yujingzhai with Xiangxue.

On weekdays, her mother often brings Li Jin here, but at the end of the year, she is too busy with affairs in the house to take a break, although Li Jin has the heart to share her mother's worries, she always helps more and more, so she has to stand by and watch.

In order to make her mother worry-free, Li Jin also reduced the frequency of her own outings, so she has not been here for several months.

Xiangxue was worried about Li Jin's health, so she kept persuading Li Jin to give up this trip, but she really couldn't say that Li Jin could only follow her wishes.

After seeing Li Jin so persistent in what she promised, the little girl was moved to tears along the way.

But Li Jin didn't dare to face the grateful eyes. Because Li Jin knew in his heart that in addition to promising Xiangxue this time, he wanted to understand what happened two days ago.

And in Li Jin's opinion, this can be regarded as using Xiangxue in disguise, which makes her feel unspeakably uncomfortable, and secretly decides to be alone when she goes to see that Huaixi. It's not to break this little girl's dream.

When the two of them came to the door of Yujingzhai, it was already full of guests.

According to Mrs. Li's habit, she will definitely go to the area above the third floor to sit, first, the environment is quiet and undisturbed, and secondly, because the location is higher and the view is more open, which is convenient for stretching the body and mind.

At this time, Li Jin deliberately chose an ordinary private room on the second floor.

Li Jin's explanation to Xiangxue was that she had never been here before, and it felt very fresh. And Li Jin's real purpose is that there are many people here, so that Li Jin can leave secretly for a while.

The little girl didn't think much about it, as long as the private room could ensure Li Jin's safety, she listened to Li Jin's arrangement.

Li Jin chose the innermost wind room, so that in addition to a corridor to enter and exit, there is also a staircase near the door, which is convenient for Li Jin to move quietly.

Seeing that this place was close to the river, the little girl opened the window and looked into the distance, and said excitedly to Li Jin: "Miss, look here and you can see the oiran on the boat below." ”

Li Jin came to the window to take a closer look, and sure enough, there were already several gentlemen on the boat in the lake at this time. The golden hairpin on the head of the Oiran can also be seen here. If it's above the third floor, I'm afraid you'll only be able to see a painting boat in the lake.

Li Jin lacks interest in these, and always feels that those laughter are too illusory, and the fleeting ones are not as long as the flowers he has cultivated, and the ethereal ones can't even touch them. But if you think about it, what can be considered to be eternal and not wither, and what can be considered controllable?

Shaking his head, Li Jin no longer dwelled on the problems that made his head hurt even more, and let Xiangxue play by the window by herself, Li Jin returned to the table and instructed Xiao Er to put together eight plates of potpourri cake, plum blossom cake, jujube kernel cake, plus fresh new pastries, plus a pot of rose tea to come up quickly.

After that, Li Jin sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals and thought about how to get out for a while, and then came back unconsciously. For a while, I thought that after meeting, I didn't know if the person would tell me directly, and how would I deal with it, and the whole person was a little stunned for a while, and after a while, the chaotic brain unconsciously stopped thinking, and was attracted by the surrounding sounds.

And this place is worthy of being the premier scenic spot in the capital. In addition to the ordinary peddlers and pawns who are attracted by the food, there are more people who gather for the beautiful scenery here.

Listening to all kinds of high-minded talk downstairs, Li Jin was almost attracted to forget the biggest purpose of this trip, and he was fascinated by it for a while, and couldn't help but open the door like other private rooms on the second floor, so that the heated discussion below could be transmitted to the house more easily.
