Chapter 57
Seeing Xu Hui come out to play the round, Wei Li was happy for the two friends from the bottom of his heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Wei Li is obsessed with music and calligraphy and painting, ignoring mundane things, he knows how dirty and ugly his relatives' methods are, but he does not want to go along with them, but only indulges in his own world, thus becoming a rare character with a pure heart among many families. For him, although there is a difference between the Han clan and the scholar clan, he does not have the almost harsh concern of others, and the attitude of being a child of the Gaomen Shi clan above everyone. It was because of his talent that he was accepted by Liu Zhan, Sima An and others, lived next to Zhao's school, asked Zhao Mu for questions, and slept with Zhao Mu's proud disciples Liu Zan and Sima An, talked about metaphysics, and learned painting and rhyme together.
Wei Li admired the talents and knowledge of the two, and naturally hoped that his friend could get out of the embarrassing situation and go further. He knew that the identities of these two people were embarrassing, and the celebrities of high-ranking families were afraid that they would tarnish their reputations, and they were afraid that they would not cast any eyes on them, and they were ashamed to mention each other's names, so they tried every means to introduce the two to Xu Heng, hoping that the latter could mention them in front of Xu Ze. Even if Xu Ze can casually mention the names of Liu Zan and Sima An to his friends in private, it will be a great help to these two people. But Wei Li also knew that Xu Heng was extremely disdainful of Liu Zhan's life experience, and Xu Heng was translating scriptures in Xu's mansion during this time and meeting with all visitors, so he didn't have time to go out to play with Wei Li. Wei Li had no choice but to gamble, and after knowing that Xu Heng was coming, he forcibly pulled Liu Zan and Sima An over.
If it was said that at the beginning, Wei Li was still a little apprehensive, but as soon as Xu Hui spoke, the big stone in his heart completely fell.
Although Xu Heng's temperament is eccentric and arrogant, he is extremely affectionate, and he almost responds to the needs of his two younger sisters who grew up together. Since Xu Hui has expressed his goodwill to Liu Zan and Sima An, and Xu Su has no resistance, Xu Heng naturally can't bear to be sad for his two younger sisters, even if this matter is half done, how can Wei Li be unhappy?
The people present are all smart people, and they can still tell the difference with such an undisguised true feeling. Even if he was in a bad mood like Liu Zhan, he unconsciously stretched his brows, not to mention Xu Hui and Qi Fang, who were already in a good mood, the former smiled slightly and glanced at his brother, Xu Heng glanced at Xu Hui helplessly, then looked at Liu Zhan and Sima An, and invited: "The weather is fine today, the breeze is blowing, are the two Lang Jun willing to go on an outing with us?" ”
Before Liu Zan could say anything to refuse, Wei Li made a fuss and said, "Brother Xu, look at a few of us." He rolled up his sleeves, pointed to a large bruise on his body, and compared the injuries on the faces of Liu Zan and Sima An, before saying, "If you go on an outing like this, if you meet someone else...... Where are our faces gone? ”
"Life is too short, and you should be happy in time, so why should you be in the eyes of unexpected people?" Xu Heng smiled disappreciatively, then lowered his voice a little, and pretended to be mysterious, "Hui'er swindled two small jars of liquor from my grandfather, and I originally planned to give them to Dr. Zhao, but looking at this posture, Dr. Zhao won't be able to come back for a while, so it's better to ......."
Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling is the best way to shorten the distance between people, not to mention the tea and liquor invented by Xu Ze, which are famous in the whole Daqi, and the latter is the unique secret recipe of Shangdang Xu, as long as Xu Ze does not give it, even the emperor can not taste this kind of wine.
Due to the low yield of grain in Daqi, and the natural disasters for many years, Xu Ze naturally did not waste too much food on making wine, not to mention that he knew that scarcity is expensive, so he set the rule of "only give it away and not sell it", but it led to the so-called "Shangdang liquor" becoming more and more famous, and it was difficult to find money. As soon as he heard Xu Heng's words, Wei Li's eyes straightened, Liu Zan and Sima An were also a little moved, obviously wanting to drink very much but not daring, Xu Hui deliberately made an unhappy look: "Brother, how can you use my efforts to do favors?" ”
Xu Heng patted Xu Hui's shoulder, and said naturally: "If my grandfather is willing to give me liquor, I am also willing to use my own efforts to do favors!" But I can't get such a rare thing, so I can only ask for it, what do you want as compensation? Jade? Curio? Weapons? Clothes? Calligraphy? ”
Xu Hui picked up the sleeve knife and made a gesture to smash Xu Heng, but was neatly avoided by the latter, Xu Su pouted with a soft smile and watched quietly from the side, Qi Fang's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia, obviously homesick.
Liu Zan and Sima An have seen a lot of intrigue in the family, stepping on the high and praising the low, even if they are brothers and sisters, sometimes they fight for cross-eyed, and there are always sharp edges and traps in their words, where have I ever seen brothers and sisters with such a close relationship? After a while, Liu Zan said neatly: "Since Xu Langjun said so, then Zan might as well be respectful!" ”
Although Sima An was talented, he lacked a trace of assertiveness, and seeing that Liu Zan agreed, he also nodded cautiously and said, "An will also go together." ”
Xu Heng and Xu Hui saw that they had agreed, and knew that this was the first step in building a good relationship, so they ordered the servants to lead the ox cart and carry the spare board. Liu Zan has lived here for three years, and is very familiar with Anming Lake and the surroundings of Yunxiang Mountain, and when he saw Wei Li's blind command, he said helplessly: "The northern foot of Yunxiang Mountain is a dense peach forest, there are more than 20 families, and the stream flows slowly down from the mountain, the sound is crisp, and the environment is very quiet; Outside the forest is Jingming Lake, many willow trees are planted on the lakeside, the scenery is excellent, if you want to go green, it is better to go somewhere! ”
When Xu Hui heard this, he weighed the secluded degree of the place Liu Zan said in his heart, as well as the combat effectiveness of carrying the troops today, and gestured to Ah Yuan without a trace, asking her to retreat and prepare, and then pretended to be in high spirits and asked, "Really?" Let's go there! ”
Liu Zan gently bowed his head, and then solemnly added: "The owner of the peach forest loves the peach blossoms very much, and does not allow others to climb and fold, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, we can only look far away from the forest, and we can't go in, let alone settle in the wooden house in the forest." Now it is April, although some peach blossoms are gradually gone, but there are still many blooming, we must not rush in, in vain to provoke the other party's unhappiness. ”
Xu Su has been with her flower-obsessed sister Xu Yuan for many years, and naturally knows some people's faults, so she smiled and said, "This is natural." ”
The name of Ruxiang Mountain is charming, but the scenery is quiet and elegant, which makes people linger. After walking for about six or seven miles, everyone turned to the northern foot of Yunxiang Mountain, and as far as the eye could see, it was a gorgeous red glow.
At the northern foot of a huge Ruxiang Mountain, there are no miscellaneous trees, only peaches. Deep and shallow, red or pink, mixed with a chance of white, beautiful to the point of dazzling. There is often a breeze blowing, and the peach blossoms can not stay on the branches, and after a few spins in the air, they fall to the ground helplessly.
Such a beautiful place, if you can go into the forest to visit, it is really a beautiful thing. But Liu Zan said before that the owner of the peach forest has a strange temper, and he can still go in to visit and borrow it in summer, autumn and winter, but when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, he can't even think about it, which makes everyone's heart like a cat's claw, which is really itchy and uncomfortable.
However, they all know that if they can own a peach forest in a place like Yang Zhai, and set such strange rules, no one dares to violate them, they must have great power. Before it is clear who the other party is, no one will rashly offend a powerful enemy, so that no one dares to violate the taboo of the owner of the peach forest and really break in.
"Such a beautiful place, such a beautiful place......" Wei Li looked at the peach blossoms in the sky stupidly, came back to his senses for a while, pulled his companion, and asked excitedly, "What about my easel, brushes and many paints?" Can you bring it? ”
Xu Heng saw that Wei Li almost forced his companion to go back to get it, so he smiled and said: "These things are available in the car, since Brother Wei has the interest in painting, how can I be stingy?" After that, he clapped his hands, and someone had already brought over many of the painting tools and paints that Xu Hengping had used.
Wei Li was overjoyed when he saw the beautiful scenery, and after casually saying thank you, he began to arrange the paints and brushes, intending to paint on the peach forest. Qi Fang stood bored by the lake, inadvertently caught a glimpse of dozens of fat fish swimming in the lake, thought about it, and then walked over and asked Liu Zhan: "The master of the peach forest only said that he couldn't go in, but he didn't say that he couldn't grill fish by the lake, right?" ”
Hearing him say this, Xu Su snorted, and his gloom was gone, Liu Zan was whimsical about Qi Fang, no, it should be said that he was surprised for a long time, and he heard Xu Heng praise: "Brother Qi's idea is very good, I will order someone to go to the side to collect dead branches, everyone is often Brother Qi's craftsmanship, how about it?" ”
Qi Fang was not only not angry, but put forward his opinion with great interest: "Not only do I have good barbecue skills, but I am also very clever in catching fish, since it is a few of us to eat, in addition to collecting dead branches, from hunting to cleaning up fish and shrimp, I don't bother others to do it?" How is it? ”
Among the seven of them, Xu Su is the eldest lady who does not touch the spring water with her fingers, Xu Heng and Wei Li are the eldest young masters who have never entered the kitchen in their lives, and Sima An and Liu Zan have been to the kitchen, but they are only planing and have never cooked at all. It was Qi Fang who naturally set his eyes on Xu Hui, who asked with a smile: "Do you want to advance the ten-year covenant to the present?" ”
"No, it's just a test of knife work." Qi Fang said lazily, "I use a gun, it's convenient to pierce the fish, I'll do this thing." After processing live fish, let's compare to see who is faster, what do you think? ”
Hearing his words, Xu Su felt that this had a bad impact on his sister, after all, there were still outsiders, but Xu Hui didn't care about any impact, and promised: "Okay!" Those who lose are not allowed to drink! ”
"So?" Qi Fang restrained his smile and said, "Then I can't release the water." ”
Xu Su sighed lightly and said helplessly: "I brought a lot of pastries, brother, you come and help me move them one by one." ”
Seeing that Xu Hui commanded Xu Heng to move east and west, and the latter also obeyed without any dissension, Wei Li opened his eyes wide, looked at it for a while, and then looked at the two new friends, touched his head, and said, "We should also do something, right?" It doesn't seem good to eat them for nothing? ”
Seeing that Wei Li and Sima An were both looking at him, Liu Zan was silent for a moment before he said weakly: "Let's go pick some fruits and mushrooms!" Remember, listen to me, don't come back with poison! (To be continued.) )
