Chapter 40: The Past of Juvenile Confusion
"Life in the world, come and go in a hurry, things outside the body, are all fleeting, I don't want to be rich and rich, I just want to spend this life in peace, even if it is plain and unknown. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Su Mo'er said as she walked with the horse.
"You can treat money like dung, but what about the seven emotions and six desires? Don't you have a longing for love? If you want to marry and have children, you can't be lonely all your life. Hanako also led the horse side by side and said as she walked with Su Mo'er.
This sentence was really right for him, Su Mo'er really never married, so she didn't expect too much from it, and she couldn't expect anything, in the end, it was all in vain, since there was no result, why should she start?
"I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life." That's all she could say to him.
"The palace maid is also humble and can't control her own fate, do you think that being a palace maid who keeps to herself can keep a peaceful life? Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to defend, if you don't fight, it doesn't mean that no one fights, he will become a stepping stone for others one day, and he doesn't know how he is calculated. ”
"Why are you talking weirdly today, how can you tell me this?"
"It's nothing, sometimes I envy you, I don't care about anything, I look at everything so indifferently, there will be no weakness if there is no desire, if a person has no weakness, then why is he afraid of the world?"
"I don't understand what you said, I'm not so great with the world in mind, I just want to keep my own pure land."
Hanako glanced at Su Mo'er meaningfully, and quickly turned her head to look ahead, neither of them spoke again, and were silent all the way until they reached their destination, Fumanlou.
The largest restaurant in Kyoto is full every day, and looking at the splendid clothes of the diners, you can also guess that the status must be noble, either rich or expensive, because Fumanlou is by no means affordable for ordinary people.
Hua Ziqi will bring himself here for dinner, it can be seen that his identity must be noble, not a relative of the emperor and the country, at least a prince and general, either from a famous family, or with a lot of wealth, as for him to say that he is just a person in the rivers and lakes, it is clear that it is a pretext to cover up his identity, and he deliberately conceals himself.
A person who doesn't tell you the truth, doesn't show you his identity, and his whereabouts are erratic, the real rich second generation, but never shows off his wealth, such a low-key luxury, if there is nothing unspeakable, or there is some conspiracy.
However, Hanako has a child-like innocent face, no one will care about it like a child, Su Mo'er really can't see the word conspiracy in him, since he doesn't want to let himself know his family background, then don't force it, anyway, she is not the kind of person who gets to the bottom of it.
Everyone meets in Pingshui, so why care about their background.
The restaurant reserved a wing room for them in advance, and when they arrived, the wine and food began to be prepared one by one, and the little guy who passed the dishes seemed to know the flower period, and was very respectful to him, Su Mo'er looked at the table, all the dishes she had never seen, the color and flavor were complete, the colors were mainly bright, the presentation was symmetrical and neat, and the aroma of wine and vegetables lingered all over the house.
Su Mo'er touched her stomach, why was she so unproductive just now, she lost to the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the protagonists are still behind, it is estimated that you can only try every dish at this time, and you can't stay on one plate more.
But if you also see the exquisite dishes on the table, it is estimated that even if you break your stomach, you will be greedy for joy, and look at what they are:
The main course is stewed elbow with ham, goose paw duck letter in vinegar sauce, roast venison, chicken skin soup with sour bamboo shoots, and wind-pickled civet cat.
Snacks include tofu skin buns, tiger skin egg rolls, and pine goose oil rolls.
After the meal, the dessert is lotus root powder osmanthus sugar cake, red date paste yam cake, and the flower seed period also specially ordered bird's nest for Su Mo'er, and prepared the plum blossom candy next to it, and then rinsed the mouth with the dew of the wooden tree after eating, which is absolutely intoxicating.
Compared with so many delicacies, Hanako Period prefers wine, that pot of bamboo leaf green is basically drunk by him alone, not enough to ask for two pots, three pots of wine under the stomach, his face does not change color and his heart does not beat, it seems that his amount of wine is really bottomless.
It was too lonely to drink alone, Su Mo'er had to accompany him to make a pot, yes, this dish can't be eaten, because a pot of wine is in the stomach, and the stomach is already full, how can you stuff that table of dishes?
"Didn't you say you were an orphan? Now that life has long been rich, it must be self-made and self-reliant, and there must have been hardships among them, so have you ever wanted to find your family? Su Mo'er asked suddenly.
Hanako's hand holding the wine glass suddenly stopped in mid-air, and he was stunned for a moment, completely unexpecting Su Mo'er to suddenly ask him this question.
"Of course, I've inquired about their whereabouts, but ...... Sometimes knowing the truth will make you even more disappointed, and my father and mother have already become two lonely graves, and when I saw them, they were already two white bones thrown in the barren mountains and mountains, none of us would have thought that the final meeting would be such a yin and yang separation, and all I could do was bury them with my own hands. ”
Su Mo'er covered her mouth in surprise, "I'm sorry for mentioning your sadness." ”
Hanako didn't speak, and the expression on his face was also unguessable because of the mask, I don't know whether it was sadness or anger.
"How did they die?"
"War."
The two words say that the world is hot and cold, the people are hungry, the clothes are not covered, the people are not happy, and strange people will always be born in the troubled times.
He came out of the tragedy of the death of both parents, from an orphan to a noble status, a martial arts master, even Prince Dolgon was not his opponent, no one knew how he made his fortune, no one knew how he spent those lonely and difficult years, and he never told outsiders.
This history has always been a blank, this mysterious boy who was born out of nowhere, because he has experienced pain, so he always faces the people around him optimistically and leaves them with a smile, so Su Mo'er always sees the boy who maintains the innocence of a child.
The table was already a mess of cups and plates, the two of them were full of food and drink, it was time to settle the bill, Su Mo'er touched her purse, she was shy, this meal was estimated to be handed over with her purse, and she couldn't afford to buy a dish, embarrassed, only to see Hanako smiling at her.
"Silly girl, I invited you to dinner, why do you want to settle the bill, the girl just needs to finish the food obediently."
After speaking, he left a gold ingot on the table, and made a gesture of invitation to signal Su Mo'er to leave.
How is this scene so familiar? When she was still Zhao Lande, she had more than once encountered the situation of paying the bill after eating together, and every time she rushed to pay, but the other party secretly settled the bill unconsciously, her favor is always constantly repaid, but it can never be repaid, because people who like her always don't give her this opportunity.
God knows why she is still single, because no one has confessed to her, maybe these people appear in their lives, not to be lovers, but to be brothers, and she is also helpless.
"You said in your letter that your next stop would be the Unspecified Pavilion, but ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to go in with you. After walking out of the Fuman Building, Su Mo'er suddenly said hesitantly.
"Why?"
"I ...... Humble status, such a high-end place, how can it be ...... Can someone of my stature step in? You're not like me, I don't want to...... Make you their joke......"
Su Mo'er said that her voice was getting lower and lower, and she seemed to have no confidence, so low that she couldn't even hear it, if she didn't know that Hua Ziqi's identity was so mysterious and noble, as long as Hua Ziqi said I want to go into the Weiming Pavilion to see, she would take him without fear to break through without saying a word, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
But she had already guessed that the young man next to her, dressed in simple and simple clothes, had an extraordinary temperament, which was like a commoner pulling a rich man to squeeze VIP, and the truth was that people obviously have a green channel, but you don't know.
This is not Guan Gong playing a big knife in front of him, dancing in front of the Confucian Temple to make ink, such an embarrassing shame, fortunately stopped at her self-knowledge.
Hua Ziqi heard her inferiority complex from Su Mo'er's words, but when she saw him, she smiled and said, "With me here, what are you afraid of?" ”
Soon after speaking, he resumed his serious face and said: "Don't compare your own shortcomings with others' strengths in the future, no matter how proud people are, they will have inferiority, don't you know how good you are?" ”
Hanazi's words are like an initiation, and I don't know if he pierced Su Mo'er's flaws with a sharp point, or said good things to comfort her, in short, Su Mo'er's heart surged after hearing this sentence, she was very grateful that he was not condescending, and thanked him for not only not disliking her, but also encouraging her.
If Concubine Zhuang was the first person to be kind to her, then Hanako was the first person to move her, and at this moment her eyes were already full of tears, and she said with a smile: "Thank you." ”
