Chapter 351: The courtyard is deep
The summer night in the capital is different from the humid and sultry in the south of the Yangtze River, because it is located in the north and has its own unique dry and hot, and the evening breeze brings not coolness but a puff of dry dust. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This dust seems to contain a heavy historical heritage, which makes people feel refreshed and refreshed when they take a breath, and it will endure for a long time.
The lights have been hanging high for a long time, and the traffic on the road is still flowing endlessly, as if it will never stop. It is said that this is still the result of the implementation of odd and even numbers, otherwise it can be blocked after five o'clock after five o'clock.
Mercedes Benz. There was a lot of restraint in Long Leiyan and he didn't dare to make small moves, but Ruoxi sat beside him very generously and whispered the scenery of the historic sites outside the window. Zhou Zihan sat in the passenger seat, turning his head to look at the two of them from time to time, and every time he met Long Leiyan's eyes, there was always a little doubt in his eyes.
Long Leiyan didn't know what he was thinking in his head, but he felt that the other party didn't like him very much, which was also helpless, the gap between the identities and backgrounds of the two parties was too big, the growth experience was very different, and it was the first time they met, and it was difficult for the other party to accept him in a short time.
"Mr. Long, you don't mind if I call you that, right?" This was the first time Zhou Zihan took the initiative to talk to Long Leiyan, his tone was extremely flat, and his expression was different from when he first met his sister at the station just now.
Long Leiyan smiled: "The title is a code name, I don't mind!"
"That's what it's called!" Zhou Zihan's tone became old-fashioned: "I don't know where Mr. Long is!"
If the elders asked, it would be reasonable, and it would sound so awkward from the mouth of a hairy child.
After all, Ruoxi's heart was towards Long Leiyan, and she glared at her younger brother: "I haven't asked you yet, how did you do in the college entrance examination?"
One thing drops one thing and one thing brine and points tofu, Zhou Zihan was afraid of his sister, and even more afraid of asking him to study, so he quickly turned his head and muttered: "It's only been a few days since the exam, how do I know if the results haven't come out!"
Ruoxi snorted coldly: "I must know how to take the test, and you must be empty-hearted looking at you!"
Zhou Zihan snorted in his nose and muttered a few words, the voice was too small Zhou Ruoxi didn't hear it, but he couldn't escape Long Dashao's keen hearing, what he said was 'Girls are outgoing, with male tickets, their younger brothers don't hurt anymore!'
Ruoxi said softly to Long Leiyan: "Don't pay attention to him, he loves to be weird, one moment like this and one time like that, are you hungry?"
Long Leiyan smiled at Ruoxi and shook his head to show that he was not hungry, leaned over and patted Zhou Zihan on the shoulder, waited for him to turn around, stretched out his hand and said: "Let's officially meet, my name is Long Leiyan, I am twenty years old this year, I live in Jiangcheng T-shaped street, and I am now a physical education teacher at Jiangcheng Girls' High School." ”
With his sister beside him, Zhou Zihan didn't dare to make a mistake, shook hands with Long Leiyan with a dry smile, turned his head to look at the scenery outside, and suddenly said, "It's here!"
As the name suggests, Basket Market Street was a market selling weaving utensils in ancient times, and many streets named after the trade can be found in the north and south. For example, Huadian Street in Jiangcheng, Basket Market Street, Grate Street, Comb Street, and Hoop Bucket Street in Beijing.
I don't know when there were fewer baskets sold on the basket market, and a snack bar sprung up, becoming more and more prosperous after many years, and became a famous snack street in Beijing. In recent years, the number of foreign tourists has increased, and business here has become more popular, and of course, the rising tide and high prices are also very hot.
Thirty years ago, I could eat from the south to the north with three or five yuan in my pocket, but in the past few years, I don't have three or five thousand dollars in my pocket, so I don't want to eat anything.
This street is a pedestrian street, and the car needs to find another parking lot, so Uncle Hu put them on the street and said that he would contact them by phone and drive to find a parking space by himself.
The traffic is bustling, and the flow of people is slowly rubbing shoulders. A street of just a few hundred meters, standing at one end of the street, you can't see the other end at all, and there are black and pressed human heads in front of you, and the dazzling neon signs of the shops on both sides.
Jiangcheng also has such a lively place, but Long Leiyan has never been there. Ruoxi hadn't been here for a few years away from home and school, but she didn't expect it to be overcrowded now, so she said softly: "There are so many people, it's going to be the middle of the night when we eat, Zihan, I think it's better to change places, what do you see?"
Long Leiyan doesn't care, the guest is as he pleases. Without waiting for him to speak, Zhou Zihan said: "Then what's the matter, I've booked a place, and a few of my friends, I said that I want to pick up my sister!"
Ruoxi was stunned: "Your friend, give me the wind?"
"Sister, isn't my buddy your buddy, who made us two sisters and brothers, if you don't go, I'll be embarrassed, it's not good to let people wait for a night!"
Ruoxi looked at Long Leiyan, and Long Leiyan said, "Since it's arranged, let's go!"
The servants walked towards the basket market, and in the blink of an eye, they were submerged by the sea of people.
In the western suburbs of the capital lies a hill that is not very high, and the trees on the mountain are covered with verdant trees, clear springs and waterfalls and broken jade. A concrete path winds between the trees and mountain springs, and the branches of the trees sway in the wind, revealing several solemn and elegant courtyards.
Among them, there is a courtyard built on the top of the mountain, looking up at the sky and facing the abyss, with a great view of the world. Passing through the main hall with heavy eaves and arches in the front yard, a huge cypress tree stretches out its vigorous branches to envelop the side hall.
In the side hall, a set of old sea yellow wood eight immortal tables, backing tables, and Taishi chairs exude a dark yellow luster, which is not ordinary at first glance. On the wall, a freehand landscape by a modern master depicts the cypress trees and the mountain in this courtyard.
At the table of the Eight Immortals, there was a middle-aged man with a face as white as jade and a broad nose.
Don't look at his young appearance, in fact, he is already over the age of six, but he has maintained his youthful appearance only by maintaining the law, this person sits there without anger and self-authority, and he has the air of a king in the future.
Sitting in his hands was a thin man over fifty years old, holding a blue and white bowl and sipping tea.
The white-faced man said, "Harrison has returned to Beijing?"
The emaciated man put down the tea bowl and replied respectfully: "Returned, I just arrived, it has been arranged, and it is Liu Guocheng who accompanies him!"
The white-faced man held two four-building lion heads in his hands, the color had turned red, and there was a faint luster between the hovering palms, and he glanced at the emaciated man quietly and did not speak.
The emaciated man knew that he was unhappy with selling Guanzi, so he hurriedly explained: "Two people, a man and a woman, the woman is the eldest girl of the Zhou family, and the man is from Jiangcheng surnamed Long, who is just twenty years old this year, and looks like a talent, the two are affectionate together, it seems that they are going back to Beijing to meet their parents this time!"
The white-faced man smiled slightly: "Oh, it seems that Zhou Lao is going to invite him to drink wedding wine in a few days, do you mean to ask me to go and congratulate me in advance?" The walnuts in his hand swirled happily again.
The emaciated man said, "Liu Guocheng said that this surnamed Long looks a lot like your neighbor!" he said, snorting deep into the forest outside the window of the side hall.
The white-faced man still had a smile on his face, and glanced in the direction he was pointing, there was also a mansion not far away, a little shorter than the terrain here, but the momentum was more stable.
With a snap, the white-faced man put the beloved walnut in his hand on the table of the Eight Immortals, stood up and walked a few steps in the side hall.
There are many courtyards on this mountain, not far from here, and there is a house like a tiger standing on a dragon plate, and two huge stone lions at the door show a bit of majesty.
The backyard study is rich in ink, a man with phoenix eyes is holding a wolf and splashing ink, and the bloodstone paperweight on the desk of the gloomy Nanmu is pressed with a snow-white rice paper, and the ink on the book is not dry on the book "Laugh at the changes in the eight directions, and watch the new weather in Kyushu".
There was a knock on the door, and the man put down his pen and said softly, "Please come in!"
The door squeaked open, and a graceful and wealthy woman in her thirties entered. She came to the table and glanced at the words on the table, sighed and said: "It's either laughing or watching, your heart is really wide, the son of the Long family has returned to Beijing with your baby girl, do you plan to watch quietly or laugh? I'm afraid our family will become the object of laughter in the future!"
The man said tepidly: "It's rare to have the mentality of watching and laughing, in this eventful season, I'd better wait and watch and laugh, as for how to do it, haven't you all arranged it? Do you want me to come forward to pick up a junior in person?"
The woman shook her head helplessly and whispered, "What do you mean by my father's side, did you ask?"
The man picked up the pen again, wrote on the rice paper, and said, "Don't ask ......."
Suddenly, the door opened again, and an old man in good spirits came in, with a long beard fluttering and a fairy wind and bones, but it was difficult to hide the killing aura between Gu Pan, the old man took over the topic and said: "Don't ask, I'm old, but my eyes are bright, my body is hard, and my heart is not confused, there are some things to do, and some things are still homeopathic!"
Below the top of the mountain, where the trees are sparse, another yard covers a very wide area, the ancient trees in the courtyard are sky-high, especially the two begonia trees are very tall, if Long Leiyan is here, he must feel that these two begonias are a little similar to the two trees at home, and they should be the same variety - nine-petal crystal begonia.
In the main hall under the begonia tree, Long Xiaochuan's eldest brother Long Xiaoyun was eating, with two dishes on the table, one meat and one vegetarian, holding a bowl of white noodles in his hand, and eating it was fragrant.
Long Xuejun, the private secretary, came over and whispered, "Long Leiyan has arrived in the capital, and he is here with Zhou Ruoxi!"
Long Xiaoyun's noodle hand paused, took a chopstick to fry the shallots, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the secretary said again: "Is it not arranged for you to meet with him?"
"It's light!" Long Xiaoyun picked up the plate, poured it all into the noodle bowl and stirred and stirred, and said: "Noodles, the toppings are salty and delicious, there are rules for what dishes and how to eat, and if you don't talk about the rules, you are asking for trouble, next time, just give me toppings and noodles, I don't want to bother with those things!"
