Chapter 21: Your Fiancée Is Not There

Li Chen felt everyone's discomfort very sensitively, sighed secretly in his heart, did not stop the movements in his hands, and did not look up at everyone. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but teased in a more relaxed tone: "What's the matter, I haven't thought about hiding it since the first day we met, everything I saw today, one day you will also know, at that time, won't you blame me even more for not admitting it, I really don't want everyone to alienate me because of this." ”

This is the last process that Li Chen has completed to make tea, he gently pinched the small pot with three fingers, the high lifting kettle is above the teacup that has been neatly placed after rinsing, the elbow is level with the wrist, the wrist is slightly tilted, and the tea is pouring down, and then using the power of the wrist, lifting the small pot in his hand up and down, repeatedly lifting the wrist three times, the water sound is three rings and three light and the same sound is the same light, the waterline is three thick and three thin and the same thickness and thin, the water flow is three high and three low and the same high and low, the kettle flow is three up and down and rises and falls at the same time. An elegant fragrance of tea gradually diffused, and the whole tea room suddenly became more and more elegant. Wait until all the teacups are filled with tea for 8 points.

Li Chen stretched out his hand and motioned to everyone at will, "I fried Tieguanyin myself, everyone tastes it, if you like it, when you go back to the dormitory in the evening, I will wrap a few taels for everyone." ”

After Li Chen signaled, he didn't do anything when he saw Tashi and the others looking at each other, and said in his heart, "I'm really confused, they're all young people, what kind of gongfu tea to drink", but at this time, he didn't make another arrangement, so he had to try a look at Zhang Pojun, Zhang Pojun grew up in Daomen after all, Dao tea and gongfu tea etiquette are figured out, Zhang Pojun, who had served his grandfather and Li Chen to drink tea, naturally understood the etiquette of the tea ceremony, and immediately started to divide the tea, and was the first to take the tea, put it under the nose and sniffed it gently, originally with the intention of making a demonstration, But I was immediately attracted by the strong aroma of tea.

"Xiang, wrap me a few catties when you leave." Zhang Pojun didn't care about drinking tea, and asked Li Chen for benefits with a big grin.

"Get out" Li Chen, who was secretly blaming himself for not thinking about it at this time, scolded back angrily.

The tea room was much quieter, and even Cao Yuan and Guan Jing, who had always been lively, were silent. In desperation, Li Chen raised his hands and said: "I was wrong, I grew up in the Taoist temple since I was a child, and my pastime outside of homework is to drink tea, practice calligraphy, and play the piano. This is really the first time to invite friends to a party, I don't know what I should do to be a good host, please give it a chance. ”

After speaking, he looked at Sun Lei, Tashi and the others one by one with pleading eyes.

"What do you play?" Wu Yuwei, who had been silent since arriving at Li's house, suddenly asked.

"I guess you don't like it, it's the guqin." Li Chen smiled bitterly.

"Anything else?"

"No, if you like any instrument, I can learn it, and I'll play it to you after I learn it." Li Chen replied honestly. It's just that I didn't notice the language problem.

"Who told you to play it to me?" Wu Yuwei's face was blushing. "You go get the piano and sit down and play it for us."

"Okay" Li Chen hurriedly stood up, and just as he got up, Zhang Pojun quietly made a gesture, signaling him to come back later.

Li Chen nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the piano room, the two rooms were only separated by a wall, which was very convenient. As Li Chen walked out, he asked Arnold: "Is there anything that young people like to play at home?" ”

"For example?" Arnold's voice also sounded a little muffled, and it was estimated that Li Chen's emotions also infected him.

"I don't know, if I know, I'll tell you directly."

"Your Majesty, I will arrange for the collection of information on this right away." Arnold was also very helpless, he really didn't pay attention to the entertainment methods of the young people of Huaguo or the earth.

"Well, hurry up, after finding it, immediately arrange for someone to get a playground center at home as soon as possible, I don't want to be like this again at the next party, embarrassed to death."

"Your Majesty, as you wish"

As soon as Li Chen went out, Wu Yuwei asked the others a question, "Why didn't we talk just now?" ”

Guan Jing shook her head, "I don't know, I just feel a little depressed."

"Brother Shi, what about you?" Wu Yuwei had no choice but to lead the topic to Sun Lei.

"An ordinary college student, suddenly turned gorgeously into a rich man, entertained us in a way that was like a hidden master, and his way of life compared to ours seemed to be two parallel lines, without intersection. Suddenly don't know what to talk to him? Sun Lei smiled bitterly and whispered his mood.

"I thought about it just now, our behavior hurts Li Chen, after all, he has never hidden anything, and he sincerely invited us to come to his house as guests, but we became estranged from him, is our self-esteem too sensitive?" Cao Yuan suddenly interjected, and at this moment, his chubby face did not have the obscenity of the past, but looked very solemn.

"I met Li Chen earlier, to be honest, I didn't expect his usual life to be like this. But while he's not there, I'll give you a brief introduction, but don't spread the word. ”

Zhang Pojun gritted his teeth, looking at the lonely back of the little uncle just now, he really didn't care if he violated Li Chen's wishes, and decided to tell Li Chen's background that he knew, hoping that these friends of Li Chen could get to know him again. Hearing his words, everyone turned their eyes to Zhang Pojun and listened to his introduction to Li Chen.

"Everyone knows the Heavenly Master Mansion of Jiangxi Longhu Mountain, right?" Zhang Pojun asked directly.

"I know, some time ago, I just watched a movie with Yu Wei, and there is the Heavenly Master's Mansion in it, a place dedicated to catching ghosts." Hearing Zhang Pojun's question, several people looked at each other, and Guan Jing nodded while telling where he knew the Heavenly Master's Mansion came from.

Zhang Pojun heard Guan Jing's words, and then looked at the other people who nodded and agreed with Guan Jing's statement. couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he didn't explain, he just continued, "I am the descendant of the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, and my grandfather is a contemporary Heavenly Master. And Li Chen is my uncle and ancestor, and he is the same generation as my grandfather. Zhang Pojun threw out a few bombs with one mouth, and everyone was stunned.

Guan Jing just wanted to interject and ask, but Zhang Pojun stretched out his hand to stop her, "Because of time, don't ask questions, I only guarantee that what I said is true." ”

"As everyone knows, Taoism is the native religion of our country, and in fact, it also has many sects, just like the martial arts sect and Taoist sect in martial arts novels. Everyone reads martial arts novels, after Quanzhen taught Wang Chongyang Patriarch Immortal, Quanzhen was divided into 7 factions, plus the Wudang faction established by Patriarch Wang and his apprentice Zhang Sanfeng, all of which are collectively known as Daomen. Li Chen, he is the inheritor of the Daomen designated by the Daomen in order to prevent the interruption of the Daoist inheritance, that is to say, he is the guardian of the unified inheritance of the Daomen sect, whether there are other people who also bear this responsibility I don't know, at present, I only know that he has surfaced alone. Zhang Pojun considered the language and said that some sensitive topics must not be known to these ordinary people.

"He just said that he invited friends to dinner for the first time, which is true, because his generation is extremely high, and the entire Daomen is added together, and there are only a few centenarians who are two generations higher than him, and only his master and my grandfather are the two who are one generation higher, and there are only 6 or 7 people of the same generation who are about 70 years old, such as my grandfather. The others are all his juniors. And the younger generation of our age, as you can imagine, will not be able to become friends with him. What's more, because of his identity, he can't socialize with other young people as he likes. ”

"Taoism has been inherited for thousands of years, all kinds of skills, Taoist inheritance, you can imagine, a child from the age of 10 is surrounded by millions of classics, most of his life is with the previous generation of inheritors, that is, his master, an old Taoist who is nearly seventy years old, I have lived with him for about half a month, his time is to sleep with a group of old people, to accept all kinds of knowledge to be able to assume the responsibility of the inheritor. He said he didn't understand what young people like, and I believe that. ”

"He didn't have the opportunity to study in school, and he only stayed in school for less than a semester in junior high school, so he reluctantly returned to Taoism to study on his own, so to speak, college was the beginning of his real contact with his peers." Zhang Pojun remembered that Li Chen was forced to drop out of school because of his appearance, and a strange smile couldn't help but appear on his face, although he quickly restrained himself, but the careful Cao Yuan, Sun Lei, and Wu Yuwei had already seen it.

"To be clear, why did he go back to self-study after less than a semester in junior high school?" Cao Yuan was very curious.

"Because of his appearance, the girls in the whole county like him, which led to a big fight among the boys in the county, so the principal could only persuade him to go home and study on his own." Zhang Pojun spread his hands out, and with a strange face, he told Li Chen's biggest trouble.

"No......" Guan Jing clasped her hands on her chest, revealing a girl's appearance, "Miao girl is amorous, why didn't anyone give Li Chen a love Gu or something." ”

"Originally, his identity was a big secret, but I really couldn't see his sad look. That's why I tell you that I don't know what kind of punishment I will receive if I speak out. ”

"As for his wealth, I was also surprised. But he has always been a very mysterious person, maybe there are other sources of funds, I only know that during your military training, when I talked to my family on the phone, my grandfather said that it seems that Li Chen has been in contact with his family, and my grandfather also said that his family is rich and rivals. What's more, with his cultivation realm and status, if he wants to obtain wealth, I don't know about others, just my family, just with his words, my grandfather dares to sell the Heavenly Master's Mansion to meet his needs. Because we've got more out of him. ”

"Taoism, Taoism is the most important thing to respect the teacher and respect the elderly, as a junior, I don't dare to make friends with him, and even get a little closer to him, I am already flattered and honestly afraid. You can have no scruples about fellowship with him on an equal footing, but today, it is he who happily thinks that he has made friends, and invites friends to a party for the first time in his life, but finds that the things he takes for granted are different from reality, and even he is likely to have lost friends. Zhang Pojun spoke, his voice becoming more and more depressed.

"Husband, I didn't know that Li Chen's status was so high, no wonder you would say that you would treat him as your grandfather Zhang Tianshi. But I really think he's pretty pathetic. Sun Jiawei reached out and rubbed Zhang Pojun's frowning brows on the side, and whispered in his ear.

"It is indeed not easy for a person who has been receiving the oldest and most traditional cultural education in China to maintain his true heart. I personally know him, he himself will never think of himself as pitiful, but he must be very sad at the moment. Zhang Pojun didn't fully agree with Sun Jiawei's words, he knew Li Chen's attitude towards cultivation.

"I think we were all wrong," Mr. Tashi said in a very slow tone at this time. "We Tibetans make friends with our hearts, no matter whether we are rich or poor, as long as we are sincere, we are friends. I suddenly felt that we wanted to alienate Li Chen because of our inferiority. Kangba man must not do such a heartbreaking thing to his friends. We won't know something, just learn from Li Chen, anyway, I think he looked good when he made tea just now. ”

"Yes, yes, what he just said, it seems that his pastime is to make tea, play the piano, and practice calligraphy. It's a very elegant thing, we can learn a little bit and go out to use it when I get a little sister, how fanny! Cao Yuan returned to his original tone at this time, maybe the fat man was really big-minded.

"Yuwei, think about it, it's all beautiful, if he is my boyfriend, in such a courtyard, drinking tea, listening to a handsome guy playing the guqin to me, how romantic!" Guan Jing whispered to Wu Yuwei in her ear.

"If you're tempted, go after it!" Wu Yuwei replied quietly, but when she said this, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Oh, forget it, people have a childhood sweetheart's fiancée, and then there is a big beauty in the class, I can't rank someone up, don't you have a little curiosity or sour feeling about Li Chen's fiancée?" Guan Jing deliberately made her voice a little louder, and the volume was loud enough for the people in the tea room to hear it just right.

As soon as the others heard this, they immediately turned their eyes to Wu Yuwei, looking up and down from head to toe, as if using a microscope to observe whether Wu Yuwei had traces of "discomfort" in Jing's mouth. Wu Yuwei suddenly stopped paying attention to Guan Jing, and reached out to scratch Guan Jing's armpit, living in a dormitory for a while, Guan Jing's fear of itching has become the best way for them to deal with this big mouth in the dormitory.

Just when the two girls were fighting, Li Chen entered the tea room with a guqin in both hands. Seeing that the atmosphere in the tea room was a little more energetic, he glanced at Zhang Pojun gratefully. Seeing Li Chen's expression, Sun Jiawei said loudly, "Classmate Li Chen, don't bully our family Zhang Pojun in the future!" It is estimated that Sun Jiawei was a little worried when she heard that Zhang Pojun might be punished, so she gave him a preventive injection in advance.

Li Chen has actually been monitoring the movements in the tea room, although Zhang Pojun has revealed his identity, after all, he has a good grasp of proportion, and he is also kind enough to help him explain, although it is a little unnatural, but when he heard Sun Jiawei's words, he still deliberately smiled at Zhang Pojun and nodded, indicating that he was not angry.

Zhang Pojun was in a relaxed mood, and hurriedly made it to the seat where the tea was made, signaling that he would make the tea by himself, and Li Chen just played the piano.

The sound of the piano sounded slowly, Li Chen deliberately selected some ethereal songs in Taoism, and the elegant overtones soon brought everyone into the deep valley and the smoky artistic conception, Zhang Pojun also quickly began to make tea again, the tea fragrance, the melodious sound of the piano gradually blended together, sometimes the sky and clouds, the weather is thousands, sometimes the water waves gradually disappear, the clouds and mist clear, the flow is natural, and gradually enters a secluded and quiet state.

In Li Chen's deliberate playing, everyone gradually and completely let go of the last trace of psychological restraint.

In this way, a group of young people in their prime, or quietly playing the piano, or quietly sipping fragrant tea, let their thoughts be thoughtless ...... by the sound of the piano.

Until it was getting late, Li Zhongqun had been standing quietly outside the door of the tea room for a while, Li Chenfang stroked the strings with both hands, suppressed the sound of the piano, and then played it lightly with his fingers.

Signs, belonging to fire, high-pitched, vigorous, cheerful and lively, can invigorate the spirit and make the attention concentrated. With the sound of the strings, several people who had already heard the gods suddenly woke up from the state of the imaginary wonderland. Li Chen clapped his hands lightly again and said, "I've been playing for an afternoon, let's go to dinner." ”

Then he suddenly remembered something, and said a little nervously: "Statement, because the meal was prepared a long time ago, in order not to waste it, I didn't deliberately adjust anything, but I definitely didn't mean to show off, I just wanted to take out my best things to entertain my best friend, you must not think about it." Otherwise, I'd rather take everyone to a restaurant outside. ”

"Is there any wine? I want the best wine. Tashi asked aloud.

"Yes, it's definitely that everyone hasn't drunk before, and I'll accompany you to get drunk." Li Chen responded happily, thinking to himself, "The boss is really interesting, he didn't let me be cold." ”

"I don't need you to accompany me, I don't feel it when I drink with you, you are a wine tank-level character, don't bully us who drink a lot, and Senior Zhang said that you can do martial arts, did you cheat last time? It's like Duan Yu's six-vein divine sword. Cao Yuan jumped out at this time, it is estimated that this kid has read a lot of novels, and he is a little resentful that the three of them did not drink Li Chen last time.

"Qigong is not that powerful, it is all imagined by novelists." Li Chen would not admit that he was cheating.

"Let's go, go and see what the best thing in the mouth of the big tyrant in our class is, little plum, lead the way ahead." Cao Yuan swaggered two steps and found that he didn't know the way to the restaurant, so he had to stop and shout.

"Young Master Cao, young masters and young ladies, please come with me." Li Zhongqun came to the door of the tea room at this moment and said respectfully to a few people in the room.

Seeing a middle-aged man's performance like this, several people didn't dare to move their feet, and couldn't help but look at Li Chen. Li Chen had no choice but to explain, "Steward Li, the one sent by the family is my housekeeper during my study in the imperial capital. After I am here, if I am not here, or if I am cultivating, you can find him. "Ah, Uncle Li, I'm sorry, I was joking with Li Chen just now, that ...... I don't call you ......" Cao Yuan was embarrassed by the little plum he said casually at this time, and hurriedly apologized to Li Zhongqun. "Young Master Cao, you're polite. It's good for young people to make trouble, the young master's temperament is too light, you have to come often, and the house will be more lively. Li Zhongqun nodded politely to Cao Yuan and said.

"Tut, there are housekeepers, by the way, Li Chen, your fiancée is not here, why don't you introduce us to him? Are you lying to us? Sun Lei saw that Cao Yuan was a little embarrassed at this time, so he shook his head and joked casually about Li Chen.

Li Chen obviously felt Sun Yuwei's breathing behind him at this moment, and then became short, while the others were also surprised by the conversation between Sun Lei and Li Chen, and they all looked at Li Chen with strange eyes.

Li Chen looked a little embarrassed and said, "Family rules, there are no male guests in the family." But since Sun Lei asked, let's follow the customs. After speaking, he said to Li Zhongqun, "You go and ask your wife to come and meet my friend, and I will lead the way." ”

Li Zhongqun signaled that he understood, and turned to leave.

Li Chen then said to a few people, "Don't look at me like that, the family arranged it, Lao Li stayed by my side when I was a child, and he has always taken care of my life and my family's affairs, and he is a very good person." Only the time I was lost was separated. You can do whatever you want with him. ”

Then he patted Sun Lei on the shoulder, "Hey, the jaw is falling!" Let's go, go to dinner, a lot of things in my family are very traditional, and you will learn about it slowly in the future. ”
