Chapter Forty-Eight: Huaqing Pool
Someone outside was shouting for dinner, and Elf Beans came looking for me.
"What are you doing hiding here, go out to eat. "It looks like the elf beans are having a good time, with a smile on their faces, and they take my hand and leave.
I had been in the corner long enough, and although my eyes were still slightly red, I couldn't see it if I didn't pay attention, so I went out with him.
"It's a pity to come and try this Ah Yi abalone, specially transported from Hong Kong. Sitting around the table, Mrs. Li first used chopsticks to clip the abalone to me.
"Thank you!" I thanked and picked up my chopsticks and tasted it, and it was indeed incomparable to ten abalone for five yuan a piece in a fish store.
Mrs. Li returned her hand and grabbed another piece of abalone meat to send to Mrs. Zhang on the plate, but Mrs. Zhang immediately stopped when she saw it, "Oh, I don't eat it, I'm tired of eating things for a long time, so let's keep it for Ying Xi to try." ”
My action of eating abalone stopped slightly, and I continued to swallow it reluctantly, and Mrs. Li immediately took the abalone and brought it to the plate in front of me, and repeatedly persuaded me, "Mrs. Ying, you eat more." ”
After eating, the men continued to play cards, Mrs. Li chatted with Mrs. Zhang, and I was still bored walking around the house alone.
"Yingtai, come and sit down, let's talk for a while. Mrs. Zhang greeted me enthusiastically as I was spinning around on the ground.
Maybe it's the faux pas that annoy them, I thought, shaking my head, "I've just eaten, I'll take a walk." ”
"People are young, they have to keep in shape, I tell you, don't sit down immediately after eating, otherwise it will be easy to get out of your stomach. Mrs. Li patted Mrs. Zhang's leg and explained, "Look at us, how big our bellies are, which looks like Ying Taiyingying's hand, we can't compare." ”
How sour it sounded, I walked away and continued to hide in the corner, so that they could not see or be upset.
The car drove straight until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, I got out of the car with everyone, the weather outside was excellent, the sun was so bright that it was dazzling, and I put my hand on the pergola to see.
The brand of Huaqing Pond is antique, horizontal on the antique gate, surrounded by green vines, there are welcome guests dressed in palace maid costumes on both sides of the gate to come to greet them, like a fairy who descends to the earth.
"It's a nice environment. Mrs. Zhang commented as she and Mrs. Li led the way into the gate of Huaqing Pond, and I followed at the back of the line, walking under a long corridor that was also entwined with vines and plants, and the moist air soaked my nose with a slight fragrance of flowers.
Sure enough, walking through the corridor is a sea of bright flowers, and a sheep farm path separated from the sea of flowers before entering the interior of the hot spring hall.
"This way, please. "There was a welcome guide to guide the way to the room for resting.
After going upstairs along the wooden staircase, there is a long corridor on the left and right hands, and the door of the corridor is marked with some ancient poetry tablets or allusion names.
I lived with Elf Beans in the third room on the right hand of the corridor called Pear Blossom House, Mrs. Zhang and his wife lived in the Xie Hong Pavilion a little further back, Mrs. Li and his wife lived in the Lucheju opposite Pear Blossom House, and Zhang Liexing lived alone in the first room of the corridor on the left in the Snow Urging Hall.
"What did you talk to Zhang Liexing in the car just now?" Elf Bean was not in a hurry to go to the hot spring, but after entering the room, he sat down and asked me.
"What can we say?" I asked rhetorically, annoyed by his suspicious attitude.
"I see you've been talking for a long time......"
It turned out that he had noticed me, didn't he see me aggrieved and hide and cry? I stared at him, "Since you have seen everything, you are still asking me what to do?"
His face was extremely bad, a pair of bean eyes flashed with burning light, and he looked like he was going to eat people in my eyes, "Stay away from him in the future." ”
I received the warning, and my heart felt even more sad, I cried that he didn't care, but only cared about me talking to other men, I turned around and went to pack my clothes and hummed him with my nose, "When he comes to talk to me, I will tell him, you tell me to stay away from him." ”
Apparently Elf Bean was enraged by me, suddenly got up and grabbed my arm, forced me to face him, snatched the clothes from my hand and threw them away, "Okay, you just say this to him, my business is ruined, look at what you still do to honor your family." ”
Are you mocking my declining family and reminding me of my poor origin? The days when I was chased by creditors have been deeply etched in my mind, he is my savior, I know, but I don't need to threaten my family, I am angry and confronted him, "If you don't have me, you can't take this business, even if you smash it, you can't do it yourself!"
Elf Bean was really angry with me, and actually raised his slap, I sent my face to him, "Hit, hit hard, see if I'm embarrassed or you're embarrassed." ”
He didn't expect me to be able to spill like this, and he was stunned for a moment.
The redness of my eyes has not yet been removed, there are faint tears in my eyes, my two eyebrows are pressed low in one place, my nose is slightly fluttering because of anger, and my lips are stubbornly pursed into a slit.
I glared at him, and suddenly he looked at me and laughed.
"Okay, bring your clothes, let's go to the hot springs. ”
I despise the moody elf bean, and I lose my temper and refuse to go with him.
"It's not good to keep people waiting......" he coaxed me softly.
I didn't get too stiff, so I picked up the yukata I had prepared and went out with him.
It seems that the other people have already rushed to the hot springs, and I have knocked on the door of the elf bean one by one, but no one answers.
"Look, we still have to ask people to wait for us. Elf Beans laughed and sneered.
I took his arm and followed him downstairs, and as soon as I got downstairs, a waiter dressed in Tang costume came up to guide me.
The waiter turned left and right, and stopped at the door of the room marked Huanxi Sha.
Elf Bean motioned for me to enter, and he continued to let the waiter lead the way.
I went in through the open door, turned around and closed the door tightly, and looked inside, a simple ensuite was not unusual, I went to the locker room and took out the prepared yukata to change, picked up the key and went out through the other door to lock the door.
It's like being in the middle of a dense forest, and when you look up is a very high glass dome, from which the twilight shines, and the gold shines brightly.
Huge clumps of greenery obscured the view, and I bypassed a bunch of bushes and walked onto the cobblestone pavement.
Before entering the door, Elf Bean had told me not to wear shoes when I came in, and at this time I walked barefoot on the pebbles, and the smooth touch and massage effect of the pebbles were very comfortable.
After a few bends, there was a mist ahead, and I guessed that I was not far from the hot springs, so I quickened my pace.
Sure enough, behind two tall palm trees, I saw the hot spring pool surrounded by greenery, and the hot spring pool was already bathing.
There were four people in the pool? I was stunned.
Shouldn't I be the only one bathing with the elf beans? Why is everyone in the same pool, what's going on? I was depressed.
"Yingtai, come here, it's very comfortable. "In the hot spring pool, which covers an area of dozens of square meters, Mrs. Li, who faced me, raised her hand to greet me.
I stood cramped, unsure whether I should go over or not.
"It's a pity, Mrs. Li told you, come over quickly. ”
