Princess Dongting is about the same size as Tong Xi, and she is the pearl of the county lord of Dejun.
Dianyin walked around aimlessly with an umbrella alone. When the rain was light, he walked to the side street near the wall of Wanjing City, turned into an alley called Wuluo Lane, and as soon as he entered the alley, he smelled a strong fragrance of tea, looking for the taste, he entered a simple teahouse.
There were only a few black stools, a few dirty cedar tables, and a small table in front of it, where sat a geisha with a hat and a face covered, singing and talking to amuse the tea guests. A slender guy refills tea and water for the tea guests from time to time, adds firewood and soup, and is not idle for a moment.
The geisha's voice sounded familiar, like the smell of home, so she unconsciously chose a seat and sat down.
"What kind of tea do you want to drink?" asked the guy as he refilled the tea for the man in front.
"What kind of tea do you have here?" Nori-in didn't look at her, only paying attention to the funny jokes told by the geisha on the stage.
"There is all kinds of tea, and our tea is handed down from the ancestors of the masters who came from the Central Plains in the past, so as to ensure the original taste. ”
Dianyin felt that this guy's voice was very strange, soft, like a woman, and there was a kind of impatient familiarity.
When they turned their heads to look, both of them screamed out in shock, and the hot teapot fell to the ground, and the freshly boiled soup splashed both of them, and the guy instinctively retreated, but Dianyin stayed where he was.
It turned out that the guy in front of him was not only a woman, but also an old man - Dian Yin's former childhood sweetheart's fiancée - Liu Xiangyi. It's just that her face is sallow, and her hands are like thick bark, if she wasn't too familiar, Dianyin might not really recognize it.
Finding that Dian Yin was looking at herself so suspiciously, Liu Xiangyi wiped her face with a two-black rag, and then laughed in a low voice: "Everyone here has it, and if you don't get dirty, you will suffer." ”
Dianyin was angry:
"Why did you fall here?
Liu Xiangyi pointed to the geisha sitting on the stage covering her face and laughing!
Dian Yin suddenly realized. No wonder there is a country accent!
A few years ago, after the death of Dian's father, the Dianliu family followed the two families in the early years of the marriage, to Dianyin and Xiangyi after the filial piety was married, who knew that Liu's father also died suddenly, and then after the expiration of the filial piety period, Liu Xiangyi suddenly disappeared with Ge Qingpeng, a drama who sang red and white ceremonies in the village, and only left him his own house key and a letter. stated in his heart that as early as when Dianyin was studying martial arts in Xianwu Mountain, Liu Xiangyi, who had just fallen in love, and Ge Qingpeng secretly fell in love, and now that the old people on both sides have passed away, the doll kiss ordered earlier has no basis Yunyun.
In Dianyin's opinion, this matter was not only unacceptable, but even a little embarrassing, so when others asked, he said that he had pushed off the marriage by himself.
Dian Yin asked Xiangyi why Ge Qingpeng said on stage that she let a weak woman run away as a buddy?
Xiang Yi was silent first, and suddenly a guest wanted to add tea, so Xiang Yi ran to add tea, and he was fooled.
Dian Yin found that there was a problem and said, "If you don't tell me, I'll go to the stage and ask him now." After speaking, he pretended to go to the stage.
After Xiang Yi finished adding tea, she pulled Dian Yin and walked back, telling the truth as she walked.
It turned out that the two of them went all the way to Wanjing, and Ge Qingpeng, who was clear-eyed and beautiful, still went to sing anti-strings to make a living, in order to make more money and let Xiangyi live a good life, he often went to accompany the wine. It's just that the dignitaries took a fancy to his soft body, Ge Qingpeng would rather die, the dignitaries were annoyed and angry, broke his leg on a rainy night, scratched his face, and threw him in the pouring rain, Ge Qingpeng was carried home and had a serious illness, and after waking up, he finally understood that he could no longer go on stage, and his heart was like ashes for a while, and then the two opened this teahouse with the encouragement of Xiangyi.
Dian Yin felt a faint pain in her heart, but on the surface, she pretended to be absent-minded and helped her boil water and add tea. After all, he is a man, how could the delicate and meticulous Liu Xiangyi not see it, and just pretended not to see anything.
was busy until it was dark and closed, and Ge Qingpeng almost crawled over. After taking off the hat, Dianyin was startled, not only because of his face that did not have a piece of good meat, but more importantly, his sadness and decadence at the moment were similar to the open-minded and bland feeling on the stage before. For the first time, he found himself underestimating the opponent in front of him, whom he had always looked down upon.
Ge Qingpeng said: "Okay now, let's go, follow him, don't suffer with me again." Dian Yin was shocked again when he heard this! He didn't expect Ge Qingpeng to say such a thing. Ge Qingpeng's words were held in Dian Yin's stomach for an afternoon, and he was about to speak.
At this time, Dianyin's face was flushed, and he was ashamed.
Xiang Yi glanced at Dian Yin, then looked at Ge Qingpeng and said, "Do you have to force me to discount my leg so that you don't say such things?"
Ge Qingpeng turned his face, suddenly knelt down in front of Dian Yin and kowtowed, "I beg you...... Please...... Please......"
To tell the truth, after Xiang Yi left, Dian Yin's heart experienced countless turbulent moments, and imagined countless scenes of the two encountering, but there was no time like now, and he was at a loss, he felt that the pillar that had collapsed in his heart was erected again, he felt that the fire that had been extinguished in his heart seemed to be lit again, and when he saw Ge Qingpeng who was groveling in front of him, he felt that his self-confidence was expanding exponentially, and he even felt a little selfishly that "good and evil will be rewarded in the end" But at the same time, he also felt that he had underestimated him when he said that Ge Qingpeng was a little white face.
Xiangyi said to Ge Qingpeng: "If you don't have me in your heart, I'll leave immediately." Xiang Yi often said that the tears were expressionless, and she didn't look at Dian Yin from beginning to end.
Suddenly the flood came into the house, knocked down the pillars, and extinguished all the delusions in his heart. He felt his head be pestled back and forth over and over again like a bell in a temple, and his skull was empty, except for a painful, non-stop humming.
Quietly, as if he had never been there, he left the humble teahouse. Left the north of Wanjing in the suburbs of "Three Camphors".
The rain had long since stopped, but the sky was still low and gloomy.
After returning to the Zhou Mansion, Dai Shao was not there, and Princess Dongting had also returned. Tong Xi was suddenly shocked when he saw him and said, "What's wrong with you? It looks like you haven't slept for a few days." ”
Dianyin sighed faintly and looked up at the sky. Rolling dark clouds rolled and rushed in the clouds, and the stars could not be seen in the shadows.
Suddenly, the sound of "ping-pong" tables and chairs falling to the ground and the screams of women came from the outhouse, intermittently, making people's hairs stand on end. Dian Yin and Tong Xi both ran out, but they collided with Dai Shao. Dianyin saw that his face was heavy, and his cheeks were flushed.
"What just happened?" asked Norikure.
"There's something big going on outside," Dai Shao said urgently, "The 'Three Trees of Camphany', the Dart Guard Camp and Yang Dingtang's forbidden army have pinched up!"
"Forbidden Army?" The forbidden army is the yamen of the army, and the people selected are the elite of the army, and they are inextricably linked with the garrison of Wanjing City, and they are low-key, so the people know little about it.
Although Dai Shao said this, it was still quiet outside, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
"Where?" asked Norikure.
"In the north of the city, the territory of three camphors. ”
Dian Yin thought of Xiang Yi, who opened the teahouse, and suddenly became nervous, and rushed out of the Zhou Mansion without saying a word, and ran north.
