Chapter 8: Painting the Heart of the Candle (2) The deceased
The first time Lu Lu came here, she found that this forgotten tea was completely different from the tea shop she had been to in her previous life. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In her previous life, she was reincarnated as a young lady of a large family, and this kind of elegant thing was naturally cultivated from a young age, and she had visited a lot of tea shops, but this was the first time she had come to such a large store.
The lobby of Forget Tea is divided into three areas, on the right is three rows of shelves, the tea cans marked with names are neatly placed one by one, and on the left there are three or four low wooden tables made of tree roots, the largest of which is occupied by the rich young master who was staring at her, and in the middle is the counter where the shopkeeper is located. The facilities of the whole tea shop are not much, but they are not empty at all, and it is obvious that all the decorations have been carefully designed before they are placed.
Lu Liu was thinking about whether to bring some tea home as her dowry, and she couldn't look down on anything else anyway, so this food and drink would be more useful. A girl in a wide white robe walked out of the inner hall, and the shopkeeper saw the girl come out, and immediately greeted her, but the girl raised her hand to stop the shopkeeper and walked straight to Luliu.
As soon as the white-robed girl made the gesture of invitation, the rich young man who was sitting on the side drinking tea suddenly stood up and rushed to the girl.
"Miss Lingtong, but the shopkeeper is finally willing to see me?!"
The girl who was called Suzuki by the young man frowned, revealing a hint of helplessness. She sighed and replied, "Third Prince Ji, the girl said that if you don't have anything important to entrust her, she won't meet you." ”
"But I want to marry her! In this woman's life, isn't it important to talk about marriage?! ”
"Third Prince Ji, please go back."
When the young man heard that Suzuki had given him an eviction order, he couldn't entangle it anymore, and his handsome face was full of misery. He smiled wryly and turned to leave the shop.
"This young lady, my girl wants to see you, you come with me." Seeing that the young master had left the shop, Ling Tong bowed slightly to Lu Liu, and respectfully asked Lu Liu to go with her.
Lu Liu was still immersed in the shock of what happened, and suddenly heard Ling Tong's words, and was a little stunned, the shopkeeper wants to see me? That Ling girl is really an immortal of Penglai! She sat in a daze, but the white-robed girl didn't leave her room to think at all, and walked back directly towards the inner hall.
When she stepped into the room, she saw a woman dressed in a red dress with black dark stitches and a gold thread base, wearing a large jacket made of mink, half-squatting and making tea, and the room was filled with a sweet aroma of tea.
The woman turned her head when she heard the movement, and a gentle smile appeared on her delicate face.
"Luliu girl, long time no see."
"Are you...... Sister Bloodleaf?! ”
Lu Liu looked at the delicate eyebrows and eyes of the person in front of him and the familiar smile, and couldn't help covering her mouth and exclaimed.
"Oh, Xiao Luliu has been in this world for a long time, why did she become so unbreathable." The woman laughed at the girl in front of her, and Lu Liu only felt that time had traveled back to the peaceful island in the clouds a few lifetimes ago.
"Girl, come here, do you want to taste the Wangfu silver quill I soaked? This tea, but the tea that can only be picked on the high mountain was just delivered a few days ago, and it is the first time I brewed it today. ”
Lu Liu nodded in a daze, and muttered in her mouth, "Sister Blood Leaf, how did you come down to this world, and what is going on with this shop...... I remember before I went down, you were still ......"
"Girl, I'm just Ling Yu, the owner of this small tea shop, and you don't want to mention the old things. You're here today, but you're coming for me? ”
Ling Yu intercepted Lu Liu's words, and handed the three-color engraved porcelain cup in his hand to Lu Liu, who was speechless. After the latter took the tea, he only casually put it on the low table beside him, and looked fixedly at the light blood leaf, or should he call her Ling Yu.
The woman in red looked at the other party stunned, raised her hand and gently rubbed the girl's head.
"Girl, you're going to get married soon, right?"
Gentle words came from the woman's air, and when Lu Liu heard this, her face flushed at once, and her little white face flushed like a peach from the West. Her little hands kept kneading the hem of her linen shirt and nodded slightly.
Ling Yu chuckled under her breath, "Ah, our little Luliu has also grown up." Is the dowry wedding dress ready? ”
Lu Liu was still speechless, only shaking her head but unable to squeeze out a word. Ling Yu said "hmm" clearly, "Also, your mother's body, as well as your brother's tuition, I don't think there is much left for the tuition to buy a dowry for the daughter of the family." ”
The young girl wearing only a cotton winter jacket looked at the person in front of her, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Sister Blood Leaf is still as calm, gentle, and omniscient as before. Why did such a perfect person come down to this vast world?
"Suzuki, go to the study and pick a box to come over." Ling Yu instructed the white-robed girl who had been standing quietly on the side, but on the other side, she took Lu Liu's still cool little hand and sat down on the soft couch.
"Chat with me for a while, your mother shouldn't blame me for borrowing you for a few hours." The red-shirted woman folded her hands and covered the girl's calloused hands because of her perennial housework, "Girl, how hard have you lived in these lives?" ”
Dressed in a patched coarse cloth shirt, Lu Liu moved a little embarrassed to the wooden edge of the soft couch, leaving only half of her hips on the soft floor covered with lambskin cushions.
Seeing this, Ling Yu hurriedly pushed her to the center of the soft collapse, "You girl, how uncomfortable it is to sit like this, you have really stayed in the world for a long time, why do you still hold so many rules in my place." Ling Yu held Lu Liu's hand tightly, "No matter what grievances you have suffered outside, you must remember that here, I am your relative, your mother's family, no matter what happens, I will try my best to help you." Do you understand? “
Lu Liu felt the temperature attached to the palm of her hand, this sense of grievance that she had been adrift for a hundred years, and finally saw her relatives again, finally spread in her heart, urging her to begin to tell Ling Yu about the hardships and sorrows of these lives.
At sunset, the woman's soft voice sounded from the inner hall where the candle had been lit, "So you haven't found the whereabouts of Ning Fu Zhu in this life...... It's good to be like this, it's better to have someone in this world who really treats you than to sit alone in that cold place every day, only with a green lantern and rely on those ancient sayings to spend this sudden life. ”
Ling Yu took the mahogany box beside him and handed it to Lu Liu, "Girl, you can keep this box, after all, it is such a major event as marriage, no matter how big or small, there will always be a dowry." ”
Lu Lu Na took the heavy wooden box and was silent.
Ling Yu looked at the petite girl, thinking that in a few days she would be a wife or even a mother, and couldn't help but touch her hair again.
"Luliu girl is married in this life, and her mother will comb your hair for you." Ling Yu reached out and smoothed the girl's long black hair.
"One comb to the end, the second comb to the white hair to the eyebrows, the third comb to the children and grandchildren, the fourth comb to the four silver shoots are all standard...... The girl wants to be with her husband well......"
Lu Liu heard Ling Yu's muttered combing song, looked at her with some puzzlement, and was about to ask something, but Ling Yu patted the back of her hand and said softly, "It's not too early, you should go back quickly, otherwise your mother should really worry." ”
The girl held the wooden box with clear horns tightly in her hand, nodded, and was sent out by Suzuki when she turned around.
Ling Yu looked at the girl who was walking away, touched her bun, and pulled out the hairpin that was loosely holding her long hair. She gently stroked her hair, took a rosewood comb, combed it twice and stopped, her eyes were full of mist that could not see her emotions.
Under the morning view of the good monarch Kongnuo,
Flower Moon holds candles and combs her hair.
Remember,
That green vine sprouts.
But they didn't see it,
My old people are still waiting for the old flowers.
If someone could sing that combing song for me that day, wouldn't I be able to keep my white hair and eyebrows on the same level, and my children and grandchildren would be full......
