Chapter 88: Midsummer, the Blue Occupation Goes to the Garden
Cheng Hao and Lan Shaoqi sneakily hid behind the screen in the ear room, wanting to see what these two girls were going to do.
This is a side room converted into a study, the windows are all new, and the azure gauze tent is specially pasted outside the secondary window.
This kind of window is now very rare, and the sunlight penetrates through the veil, and the surroundings are indescribably clear.
The house was covered with ancient bluestone and covered with a short pile carpet, and they took off their shoes and walked barefoot. Xiao Yuan was very curious about the cases and bookshelves in the house, if there was a fragrance wafting in the air, a delicate bronze furnace was warm and smoky, but the spices burned in the furnace could not suppress the fragrance of sandalwood.
"This bookshelf has been around for years. Xiao Yuan stroked the sandalwood bookshelf that had been glazed by time, and said enviously.
Lan Jiyu nodded: "This is also an antique, something from the Ming Dynasty." Now if you want to imitate it, there is no such wood. ”
Xiaoyuan gasped, what is a rich family......
Xiaoyu and her knelt beside the desk, and an elderly aunt walked in, holding a pottery urn, and then quickly laid out the tea set on the desk.
Lan Jiyu opened the pottery urn and took out a blue and white lid jar wrapped in silk cloth and said:
"Come and try it, I don't know if it tastes good or not. In the morning I called and asked them to dig out from under the roots of the begonia flowers in the backyard. ”
Xiaoyuan probe opened and looked, it turned out to be a small jar of water, and I couldn't help but be curious.
Lan Jiyu smiled: "This is what I saved when I was in Yunnan. There is a large plum blossom area where I live, and it doesn't snow much there, but I didn't expect it to snow a lot a year ago. The white snow is particularly beautiful when it falls on the red plums! I suddenly remembered the allusion of tea and plum blossom snow in the dream of the Red Mansion. I asked my aunt to help me collect it, and I realized that this thing was so easy to collect! We were busy for a long time before we could collect two cans, but as soon as it turned out, there was not even half of it left. The general has saved such a small blue and white pot, which is estimated to be enough for two pots. ”
Then pour the water into the stove and boil it.
The water boiled slightly, and Lan Jiyu unloaded the stove and took out a pair of transparent cups from the wooden box, which were slightly larger than the wine cups, clear and lovely.
She first scalded the transparent pot and a pair of cups with boiling water, then took the tea lotus from the tea tube, used it to take some tea leaves from a delicate bean green tea pot, placed it in the teapot, and then poured water into it.
Those tea leaves, which are slightly longer than the tip of a needle, stand vertically when they encounter water, looking through the transparent teapot, like a piece of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
At this time, Lan Jiyu placed a metronome on the desk and said with a smile: "I like to use this timer." ”
Then count the beats to calculate the time, see that the time is appropriate, and then order some tea from the pot to an azure rabbit smelling cup, and casually pour the tea into the sea of tea.
On the tray of the sea of tea were placed a few chestnuts the size of fingers, lotus roots, and water chestnuts, and when they saw the tea, they sucked the tea into it hungrily. Xiang Xiaoyuan found out that these lifelike fruits were actually made of purple sand.
Lan Jiyu handed the fragrant cup to Xiao Yuan with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "This is the silver needle of the dragon beard, this set of purple sand things, although it is inconspicuous, it is also a famous thing." If you like it, I'll give you another set. ”
Xiang Xiaoyuan hurriedly shook his head in a panic, then lowered his head and sniffed carefully.
This tea fragrance is like a plum after the snow, with an ethereal fragrance, refreshing.
Lan Jiyu scalded the cup with tea again, then filtered the tea juice in a small purple sand pot and poured two cups, and handed it to Xiaoyuan.
Through the transparent cup, the light amber tea is very clear, and Xiaoyuan can't help but be amazed when he takes a sip.
"Good tea!"
Lan Jiyu smiled proudly: "Of course it's good tea, I'll wait for you, even my brother I can't give it to him." Such haode tea, let him drink it, he just made a cup directly, and he felt sorry for me. ”
Then he continued to complain about his brother: "I asked him to drink the big red robe once, and he urged him to say, can you hurry up." I'm so!"
Xiang Xiaoyuan laughed, I'm afraid that everyone is not happy to accept such a slow life.
Lan Jiyu held the teacup and admired the sun: "This pair of cups is cut out of a piece of crystal. I have a teacup for haode Ruyao, but it would be a pity if I couldn't see the white tea. ”
Xiang Xiaoyuan was surprised, it turned out that the cup in his hand was actually made of natural crystal, no wonder it was so transparent and heavy.
After eating tea, the aunt accepted the case, Lan Jiyu turned around and took out a shaft cylinder for the painting, slowly unscrewed the gourd-shaped end, and took out a few Chinese paintings from it.
"These are all painted when I was in Yunnan, and I picked haode to keep them. ”
After saying that, she spread these paintings on the table and took out a plum blossom picture from it.
"This is for you, I haven't framed it yet. If you think it's okay, I'll frame it. ”
Xiaoyuan couldn't help but smile and look at it, the cold plum and snow in the painting are extraordinarily enchanting, but they are noble and indifferent. Raise the palm as a branch, exhale into a stamen, a small thatched hut looming in the plum forest in a heavenly posture, the branches of plum blossoms stretch out of the courtyard, attracting a pair of children to stop and watch.
This composition is extremely exquisite, not just a floral scene, but a very vivid and interesting situation.
"The crowd shook off the hustle and bustle, occupying the charm to the small garden. ”
Xiao Yuan gently read out the inscription next to the painting, and couldn't help but smile.
Before her voice fell, the two people who were hiding behind the mahogany screen in the ear room and eavesdropping and peeking almost fell out, and they looked at each other.
The name "Xiang Xiaoyuan" is so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary, and even a little earthy, but I didn't expect it to be so amazing and refined.
"What kind of poem is this?" Cheng Hao asked Lan Shaoqi in a low voice, and Lan Shaoqi shook his head with a wry smile.
Cheng Hao suddenly felt that it was not completely unreasonable for Xiao Yuan to say that he was illiterate, and his classical literature was indeed a mess.
Lan Jiyu smiled: "The first time I knew your name, I remembered this poem!" and then sighed: "I can paint, it's just this word, it's always my shortcoming, don't laugh at me." ”
Xiaoyuan shook her head: "What's the matter, it's already very good!" In fact, she could see that Lan Jiyu's writing power was weak, and as an inscription, it couldn't support the picture, but it was already very haode.
"Your words are actually very good, people are like their words, if you feel that you are not full, you can practice Wei Bei or hang your wrist to practice strength. Xiao Yuan knew that most of Lan Jiyu's words were still related to her body, and her qi and blood couldn't bring pen and ink.
After that, she spread out her pen and ink and demonstrated it to Lan Jiyu, and her words were really haode.
Lan Jiyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a painting, which depicted a girl holding an umbrella and admiring the orchid: "I haven't had an inscription, just so you came to help me!"
"I'm ......" Xiaoyuan was a little weak-hearted.
"No problem!" "Blue Monsoon Rain grinds with his hands.
In fact, as long as she opens her mouth, even if the words of the master and the master must come, but this is her beloved, if it is irrelevant and unknown people mention it, she will feel uncomfortable.
Xiaoyuan practiced, looking for the layout, looking back at the blue season rain and smiling, the smiles of the two girls were as beautiful as begonias after the rain.
The smoke in the incense burner curled, and the light came through the azure veil, as if shining a soft light, illusory and almost unreal.
Although there is ink, Lan Jiyu still likes to use freshly ground Hui ink.
The faint ink fragrance, accompanied by the residual tea fragrance and sandalwood dignified agarwood, these aromas are wonderfully light and thin like cicada wings, not heavy, as if the girl's unique body fragrance.
This incense is like a hallucinogen, Cheng Hao and Lan Shaoqi stood for a long time, but they didn't feel a trace of tiredness, and they still peeped persistently.
"The blue color is spring, and the atmosphere covers the fragrance. Dew the leaves through the door steps, and find the fragrance of the path. The quiet wind blows up, and the autumn rain in the pavilion grows. Lingjun once picked, wore and hung lotus clothes. ”
"Great!" Lan Jiyu clapped his hands and praised: "This word is so good, and the poem is also appropriate!"
Xiao Yuan smiled, and also felt that her painting had not been erased.
"This one, this one!" Lan Jiyu still didn't stop: "I want to give it to my brother." ”
In the picture, on the banks of the valley and river, Tinglan is lush and green, with thousands of sails passing through the border, and clouds and fog shrouded.
Xiaoyuan thought about it for a while, and mentioned in a different font:
"Lanxi is full of green in spring, and the orchids are fragrant in the rain. The doctor of Chu is haggard, and he should find this way to Xiaoxiang. ”
Lan Jiyu was very happy and said, "That's it!"
Xiaoyuan was happy to see her, and she was also happy.
Lan Jiyu looked at the painting and sighed softly: "Actually, my brother paints better, he paints oil paintings, and his paintings are very beautiful......"
Xiao Yuan was about to say, "I've seen his paintings", but after thinking about it, she hurriedly shut up, there were indeed some things she shouldn't know......
The two laughed for a while, and Lan Jiyu invited Xiaoyuan to dinner.
"I know that there is a restaurant where the dishes are all the recipes of the imperial diet in the early years, and the dishes are very tasteful. I'll call my brother in a moment and ask him to take us there!"
Xiang Xiaoyuan hurriedly waved his hand and looked at his watch: "No, I'm out for a day, and I have to go back to make dinner, or Mr. Cheng will be angry." ”
Lan Jiyu sighed and had no choice but to nod and make an appointment next time.
At this moment, Cheng Hao had already left first.
I don't feel tired after a day of sneaking and peeping, but I feel like I've been stealing for a long time.
Blue Jiyu is everyone's girlfriend, dancing and writing, stroking the piano and tasting tea, which is naturally different from other women.
But Xiang Xiaoyuan really shocked him.
All along, he felt that she was like a spinning top, entangled in a bunch of trivial things, busy every day, mother-in-law. never thought that she would have such an unearthly side.
It turns out that elegance is really a state of mind, and it has nothing to do with wealth or poverty.
Cheng Hao drove the car, reciting the sentence "Zhongfang shook off the lonely Xuanyan, and occupied the charm to the small garden", and couldn't help but smile.
But when he thought of complaining to Xiaoyuan and Lan Jiyu about himself, saying that he was very unbearable (in fact, it was very unbearable), and he didn't ask for leave on his own initiative, and wanted to sneak away, and didn't take himself in his eyes at all, he immediately became angry.
Indeed, some accounts still have to be settled with her slowly......
