On March 3, it was Xia Yang's Shangsi Festival, and Lin Bining took a car to the southern suburbs of Beizhuang to invite Baiyi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the spring of March, the wind and the sun, the pedestrians on the road are in twos and threes, or holding bluegrass, or walking leisurely, or talking and laughing, all of them are smiling. Lin Bining opened the corner of the vermilion curtain, looked at the scenery outside the car, was in a bright mood, and a smile was hooked on her lips.
Originally, she wanted to invite Zhen Wanxin to go to the southern suburbs to visit the spring together, but as soon as the other party heard that Bai Yi was also there, she refused on the grounds that she didn't like him, and the little contradiction half a month ago was still in mind, no wonder Bai Yi said that Zhen Wanxin was still a child.
There is a river in the southern suburbs, named Nanguan River, the river surface is wide, the river water is clear, and the river bank is sparse and sparsely planted with weeping willows. The carriage walked on the official road, the breeze blew by, blowing a weeping willow, the willow silk was blowing, and the face was slightly itchy, Lin Bining thought that it was the willow silk that swept her cheeks, and reached out to caress her face, not the willow silk but the catkins.
Looking intently, the catkins were dancing sparsely in the sunlight. In half a month, the season of catkins will be like snowflakes flying in the air.
After walking for another quarter of an hour or so, the coachman drank in a deep voice, the carriage stopped steadily, and Jian Ping said outside the car: "Young Master Lin, Don't Zhuang has arrived." ”
Bai Yi was afraid that Lin Bining would not be able to find another village, so he specially sent Jian Ping to Lin Mansion to pick up people.
Lin Bining lifted the curtain and looked sideways to the right, two willow trees came into view, different from the slightly delicate weeping willows by the Nanguan River, the willow trees in front of Baiyi Gate were tall and beautiful, and the branches were swaying, which was magnificent.
Lin Bining took Changge's hand and stepped down on the car, smoothed the wrinkles at the corners of her clothes, raised her eyes to see the word "Yuanxiang" above the gate, and also saw Bai Yi's ice-blue figure coming from a distance.
But after a while, Bai Yi walked up to her and said with a smile: "Changru, I have prepared refreshments in the village, come in with me to have a cup of tea and rest." ”
Lin Bining followed him in, and said with a smile: "It's still thoughtful, I'm a little thirsty." ”
Bai Yi took her to sit down in a pavilion, with a few plates of pastries and tea sets on the square table, and a moon-white brocade mat on the stool. He lifted the teapot from the small stove and slowly poured it into the cup, the fragrance of the tea overflowed, Lin Bining smelled the familiar taste, looked at the cup, and said in slight surprise: "The one who listens to Yun gossip the most is Longjing, I thought you only drink Longjing, but I didn't expect to love black tea." ”
Bai Yi smiled and put the teapot back on the stove, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's not that I like black tea, but Changru you love to drink, don't you?" As he spoke, he made a gesture of please, "How about tasting the tea I brewed?" ”
Since Zhen Wanxin told her that people with cold bodies drink black tea, Lin Bining gradually likes the taste of black tea. It's just that she remembered that when Bai Yi came, the tea was always Longjing or Maojian, how did he know that he drank black tea?
Lin Bining held the bean green cup, only to see that the shape of the tea leaves in the cup was tight and even, the front seedlings were beautiful, the color was dark, the soup was red and bright, and he took a sip shallowly, and the taste was sweet and mellow. Taste it again, there seems to be the sweetness of honey in the fragrant fragrance, obviously I didn't see Bai Yi add anything, taste it carefully, there is an orchid fragrance in the tea fragrance, look at Bai Yi and smile confidently: "This tea should be the best Qimen black tea." ”
Bai Yi nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
"But, how did you know that I like black tea?"
Bai Yiqu tapped his fingers on the table, hooked his lips and smiled shallowly, his eyes flashed with fine starlight: "Every time I go to your house, there is a faint fragrance of black tea in your house, although the tea on the maid is Longjing, but I think you should like black tea." ”
"Yun Xian should be as meticulous as a hair." Lin Bining held the teacup and sighed.
"Careful as a hair? I thought it was a description of a woman. However, since it was Changru's kind words to me, I reluctantly accepted it. Bai Yi chuckled lightly and pointed to a plate of pastries shaped like lilies in front of him, "I don't know which flavor of pastries you like, so I let the kitchen make some of them." This is a pine nut lily crisp, crispy and palatable, salty and fresh. Then he pointed to other pastries and introduced them again, "Next to it are jujube paste shortbread, as well as rouge cold cake and hibiscus crystal cake." ”
Lin Bining didn't have any preference for pastries, and Bai Yi's heart couldn't be disappointed, so he tasted them one by one. The same jujube mud cake is much more delicious than her own, not to mention other snacks, she took another sip of tea, wiped the corners of her mouth, and praised without hesitation: "Yun Xian, these pastries should be the best I have ever tasted." ”
Lin Bining didn't know that the chef who made these pastries was specially rewarded by the emperor to Prince Zhong's mansion. Because Prince Zhong loved to eat pastries made in the imperial dining room, Prince Zhong would ask the emperor for a copy to take back to the palace every time he returned from the palace, and later the emperor simply gave Prince Zhong the imperial chef who was the best at making pastries in the imperial dining room.
Bai Yi heard her praise, and the pastries that he didn't realize in the past became extremely delicious.
After sitting down slightly, Bai Yi took Lin Bining to the peach forest to enjoy the flowers. There is a peach forest in the southern suburbs that stretches for dozens of miles, and Lin Bining thought they were going there to enjoy the peach blossoms. Who knew that Bai Yi took her to the west of the Zhuangzi, and seeing the doubt in her eyes, he explained: "There must be many people who enjoy the flowers in that peach blossom forest today, and it just so happens that I also planted a peach blossom in this village, and the flowers are more fresh and beautiful than outside the village." ”
Lin Bining smiled and nodded: "It's okay, it's quiet to enjoy the flowers in the village." ”
From the path in the rockery, a fragrant fragrance of flowers comes to the face, the eyes are full of fresh pink peach blossoms, there are no miscellaneous trees during the period, the fallen flowers are colorful, the petals all over the ground are the most beautiful wedding dress in spring, people can't bear to step on it.
Lin Bining carefully stepped on the ground that was not covered by petals, and gradually went deeper into the peach forest. Focusing too much on her feet, a peach blossom hit her hair in a bun, and the branches hooked her hair, Lin Bining didn't dare to move again for fear of messing up her hair, Bai Yi saw this and hurriedly went over to help her take out the branches.
Bai Yi was tall, standing in front of Lin Bining, she only felt a shadow enveloping her, and when she looked up, she only saw the ice blue placket of the silver silk dark embroidered with cloud patterns on Bai Yi's chest, with fine stitches and exquisite patterns, which showed that the embroiderer's stitching skills should be excellent. Speaking of which, she hasn't taken a needle and thread for nearly half a year, and the stitches are getting rusty.
Just when Lin Bining was thinking wildly, Bai Yi's warm voice above his head sounded: "Okay." ”
Lin Bining took a step back, widened the distance between the two of them, bathed in the sunlight again, bent the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Lao Yun is idle." ”
In the backlight, Lin Bining was surrounded by a layer of dazzling golden light, her good-looking eyebrows and eyes were curved, diluting the handsomeness of the past and revealing a trace of coquettishness, and her smiling eyes were starry, attracting people to fall into it unconsciously, and the hooked lips were more delicate than the peach blossoms that fell on the hair.
The spring breeze rises, the peach blossoms fly, the beauty stands behind the world, and the smile is like a flower.
Bai Yi looked at the person in front of him in a daze, and in a trance, a peach blossom flew into his heart.
