Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Pool of Ripples (I)
The sky has just dawned, Qingshui Town, which has been lively all night, has just fallen asleep at this moment, and there are traces left after the celebration everywhere, and the candles in the lanterns lit by every household have also burned out, leaving only the sinuous wax tears with different postures, and the lanterns loaded by the Qingshui River last night have long been drifting away, and only some of the ones that were unlucky to be stuck on both sides of the river are still dying on both sides of the river.
"Squeak-" Sang Wan's door was opened a small crack, and a pair of dripping and alert apricot eyes peeked out from under the door.
"Peng-" The other door was pushed open in a chic manner, Luo Qi stepped in refreshed and graceful, and Ye Wan stumbled into the hall.
Ye Wan put the big bamboo basket full of mulberries behind him into the hall and slapped the table: "Hey! You won't tap you! You've made them all quarrel like that! Yu Niang must be worried about me, I didn't tell her......" Ye Wan pointed at Luo Qi's nose, his eyes showing a fierce light.
Luo Qi gently closed the folding fan, approached Ye Guan, smiled softly and amiably, pointed at his fingers against Ye Guan with the handle of the fan, slowly pushed it to the side, and whispered: "Shhh
Ye Wan felt a chill coming out from behind his spine, and couldn't help but shrink his neck, not looking at him, he walked straight to the backyard, shaking his shoulders unnaturally, and said as he walked: "Look at the mud on the soles of your shoes...... I thought I was chic...... Fell asleep and slept...... "The footsteps are like flying, for fear that Luo Qi will come over and say something to him again."
Walking in front of Ah Cai's door, Ye Wan suddenly wanted to make it bad on a whim, walked forward and slammed the door three times, pinched his nose and shouted inside: "Stinky Ah Cai-get up and work for the old lady-" After shouting, he held on to the door and smiled, leaning forward and closing his back, hearing that there seemed to be movement inside, Ye Guan's feet were windy, and he seemed to have to run back to his room, proudly took the handkerchief at the door, wiped the dust on his face, and couldn't take off his clothes, and kicked his shoes into the quilt, and he was really tired, Along the way, Luo Qi wanted to help her carry the mulberries but didn't agree, so she just followed behind and carried it back, now her back hurts, she is tired, and she just got into the quilt for a while, and there was an even breathing sound.
Luo Qi watched Ye Wan go back to the house and fall asleep excitedly, laughing helplessly, he poured himself a glass of sake, and tasted it freely in the hall, suddenly Luo Qi seemed to suddenly remember something, the wine in the cup was not finished, and he got up and walked out, leaving only the lonely wine cup on the table, and the wine inside was still gently undulating because it had just been put down quickly.
At this moment, after the baptism of Ye Guan's magic sound, poor Ah Cai was rubbing his eyes and moving forward listlessly, and just walked to the front of the hall when he saw the wine cup on the table, Ah Cai seemed to be in the spirit instantly, came forward to take a look, poured the wine in the cup on the ground, put the wine cup away, looked at the empty wine cup for a long time, and looked thoughtfully.
On Cuiyun Mountain, there are pious people holding incense on the mountain road early, all are ready to go to Cuiyun Temple to worship the Buddha, seeking peace, only to see a white figure on the road on the top of the mountain road moving rapidly, just to the mountain gate, light fall, walked to the door of the little master, respectfully erected a palm and a head: "Amitabha-" at the same time smiled with a deep meaning.
The little master also bowed his head respectfully and replied, "Amitabha Buddha - donor, please come with me, - Liu Shizhu has been waiting for a long time-" After that, he turned around and walked in front without squinting.
Luo Qi shook the fan away and followed elegantly behind, with a graceful demeanor.
Cuiyun Temple has always been full of incense, the scale of the temple construction is very large, and the flowers and plants in the temple are exquisite, strange trees are interspersed among them, Luo Qi admires these flowers and plants along the way, just like appreciating his own courtyard.
"Childe, it's here." The little master took Luo Qi to stop outside a non-special meditation room, turned around and raised his palm and saluted, "Amitabha-"
"Thank you, master." Luo Qi closed the folding fan, and wrote an ink-colored landscape painting on it, and also saluted, "Amitabha-" The little master turned around and said goodbye.
Luo Qi stepped forward slowly, stood still at the door of the room, his mind was complicated, his hand was raised and fell gently, and he didn't knock on the door.
"Qi, is that you, come in." A gentle male voice came from inside.
Luo Qi took a deep breath, pushed the door in, and gently closed the door, and the ginkgo biloba leaves in the courtyard fell to the ground, covering up the conversation between the two.
The shadow of the sun shifted, and the Sangwan Tavern was as crowded as usual. In a small tavern, business is unusually good. And the proprietress of this tavern has just freshened up and dressed up at the moment, and she seems to be in a good mood, dressed in a peach-pink outfit, with a rare light powder on her face, deliberately walking with a curly step, stepping on embroidered shoes with gold thread and walking to the back kitchen, she patted the door coquettishly and smiled at the jade lady.
When Xiao Nan saw Ye Guan's appearance, he trembled, and secretly said to Yu Niang: "Mother, is this Aunt Ye the same as what Brother Ah Cai said, brewing wine spoils her brains......" These words happened to be listened to by Ye Guan, and it was not good to have a seizure in front of Yu Niang, so he had to gently pull Xiao Nan into his arms and blink "gently": "Good boy, sister will say a few words to your mother, you go to play with Brother Ah Cai." ”
Xiao Nan pinched his nose and leaned into Ye Guan's ear, and whispered in a strange voice: "Aunt Ye, you rubbed the fat powder so heavy today...... Before Ye Wan could have a seizure, he smiled "hehe" and got out of Ye Guan's arms.
Ye Wan smiled awkwardly, fanned himself a few times in front of his nose, and said to himself while smelling: "Is it heavy?" Ahem...... It seems to be a little heavier......"
This state of affairs was looked at by Yu Niang again, and she couldn't help but say: "You woke up, see that you are in a good mood for a good night's sleep......"
Ye Wan took off his sleeves and sat down beside Yu Niang with a big grin, his head gently rested on Yu Niang's shoulder, holding Yu Niang's neck, a little coquettish: "Yu Niang-did you miss me last night-I miss you very much-"
Yu Niang didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and poked Ye Wan's hand on her shoulder: "You...... I didn't say a word yesterday, I ran up the mountain, and asked Ah Cai Gongzi to help lie to us that you went to the capital, really...... But it's incredible that you've found it......"
It turned out to be Ah Cai...... I said why didn't anyone come to me...... Ye Wan got up and let go of Yu Niang, and secretly gritted his teeth, but it was not easy to attack, so he had to answer Yu Niang with a smile: "Yes, I didn't expect it, it is possible, it is that the climate on the mountain is different, I think it is also magical." ”
Yu Niang looked at Ye Wan's thoughtful appearance, and gently pushed her with her shoulder: "Yes, you go to the hall to have a look, Gao Shusheng listened to you coming back this morning, as if he had something to give you." ”
Ye Wan glanced at Yu Niang, nodded, speculated what it was, and walked to the counter where the accounts were settled.
Gao Lingyun saw that it was Ye Guan, so he didn't say anything, only took out a stack of papers and handed it to Ye Guan.
"Winemaking should pay attention to the combination of ventilation and airtightness, and pay attention to ...... when selecting materials"
Ye Wan took it and took a look, it was written in a handsome font to pay attention to the rules and regulations of winemaking, the ink fragrance was still there, at first glance, it was just written, and then looked at Gao Lingyun's spirit seemed to be a little tired, this should be written by Gao Shusheng overnight, Ye Wan held the paper, moved, and didn't know what to say, so he looked at Gao Lingyun gratefully.
Gao Lingyun was also very embarrassed when he saw Ye Guan's attitude, and said with a slight smile: "Yesterday, Brother Ah Cai said that you failed to brew wine this time, and I also consulted some winemaking books after I came to the tavern, and I wrote some last night, and I will help you brew this time." After speaking, looking at Ye Guan's straight eyes, he still felt embarrassed, scratched his head and showed a kind smile in front of Ye Wan for the first time.
The smile is like the beginning of heavy rain, and the ice and snow are beginning to melt.
