Chapter 324: Father-in-law of the land
That night, as soon as Jiang Feng stepped out of the room, he saw Qiu Qiu bring a bowl of steaming ginger soup and hold it in front of him.
"What is this?"
Qiu Qiu said with concern: "Brother Jiang, you are infected with the wind cold, and it is not appropriate to go out to get cold now, this is the ginger soup that I specially asked Aunt Yin in the kitchen to boil for you, you can go back to the room quickly after drinking it, sweat and reduce the fever, it will be fine." ”
Jiang Feng was a little confused by the second monk, when did he get infected with the wind cold, but he was suddenly embarrassed, and understood what the little girl had misunderstood.
But after all, it is a little bit of this caring little girl's heart, although he has never liked ginger, but it is not easy to refuse, so he can only grit his teeth and pour this bowl of ginger soup that tastes difficult for him, and then be pushed back to the room by Qiu Qiu to rest.
There was nothing to do at the moment, Jiang Feng began to read at night again, and it was another sleepless night.
There are 10,000 volumes of books in the subset of scriptures and history, all of which are good medicines for educating people, benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, which can bind people and shape people, these Jiang Feng have always remembered.
Halfway through, Jiang Feng took advantage of the rest and leisure time to seriously recall the reminder of the second gift given to him by Wen Bin, and he reflected on himself that he must have neglected the seemingly ordinary point for a while, which would lead to the fact that he is still at a loss.
"After I obtained the Dust Stone from the Lingxue Pavilion, Wen Bin specially ordered Qiu Qiu to lead me to the entrance of the Hidden World, and then brought in by Qing'er. I thought she was deliberately leading me to complete the follow-up process of the natal magic weapon sacrifice, but now that I think about it, I should have another intention. ”
Jiang Feng muttered to himself: "I ordered Qiu Qiu to come here, with the intention of making him bond with me, and allowing me to enter the hidden world, the meaning of testing is the first priority." But then...... The explosion of the sword intent of the Absolute Intent Sword should have been an accident, but after Jiang Lingheng appeared, Wen Bin left directly, only saying that he would hand me over to him. ”
Jiang Feng's thinking gradually became clearer, and he secretly felt that he had grasped the key.
"If the location where we were at that time was the destination originally planned by Wen Bin, wouldn't it be Senior Jiang who was entrusted by the cultivation of the natal magic weapon?! At that time, Senior Jiang was angry and blamed, when Jiang Lingheng fled, he said that it was up to me whether I could get the second gift, in other words, the key to the second gift was also Senior Jiang!"
Jiang Feng remembered the strange old man in linen Jiang Chengyu who had been angered by him twice, and his head suddenly grew for a while, if the speculation was correct, then what he did before was not a self-defeating future, and what a second gift.
"Wait!" Jiang Feng suddenly wondered, "If the second great gift is related to Senior Jiang, then it can only be the way of sacrificing the array, it is so obvious, but the obscure meaning in Yi Wenbin and Jiang Lingheng's words is clearly deliberately concealed, why?"
Jiang Feng thought about himself, and suddenly realized, "Could it be that there are two choices for the second great gift from the beginning?!" If I can't get the inheritance of the way of sacrificing the array from Jiang Chengyu's seniors, then Wen Bin will personally come forward and ask Jiang seniors to teach me the way of sacrificial arrays as the second great gift.
"On the other hand, if I can rely on my own ability to be recognized by Senior Jiang, and then be able to teach the way of the sacrificial array, then my second great gift will be another unknown thing. That's right, that's it, it must be so! Only in this way can we explain Wen Bin and Jiang Lingheng's vague and ambiguous attitude!"
When the clouds cleared, Jiang Feng's heart was suddenly surging, and he thought about the process of being reprimanded and punished by Jiang Senior twice, and he already had a plan in his heart.
The next day, Jiang Feng stepped out of the room, but found that Qiu Qiu had gotten up early and started preparing breakfast.
Jiang Feng sat down with a smile, Qiu Qiu immediately stepped forward and stretched out his little hand, one on his forehead and the other on his forehead, and repeatedly tested the temperature of the back of his palm, comparing Jiang Feng's body temperature.
After making sure that Jiang Feng's body temperature was safe, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, and took Jiang Feng's hand for a while to ask for warmth, Jiang Feng knew that she had misunderstood that she was infected with wind and cold, and did not deny it, but only followed her words to complete this beautiful misunderstanding.
Jiang Feng said that the reason why he was able to quickly reduce fever and recover from typhoid fever was all thanks to the bowl of ginger soup she carefully prepared, the little girl was happy in her heart, and asked several times if it was true, Jiang Feng just smiled and nodded, took her little hand cordially, and used breakfast together.
The white lie fulfills the truth and goodness in Qiu Qiu's heart, Jiang Feng is willing to do it!
Yesterday, I talked with Wen Bin about etiquette, and at her suggestion, Jiang Feng had decided to let go of the habitual beautiful reverie of strange things in his heart, and face up to all the ugliness in this world, because that was true, and because of this, for Qiu Qiu's innocent and flawless kindness, Jiang Feng would cherish it so much and be willing to bother to maintain it.
After the meal, Qiu Qiu made a good "Remembering Jiangnan" for Jiang Feng as usual, Jiang Feng admired Qiu Qiu's skillful craftsmanship, took the exquisite white glazed teacup, and also admired the rare and precious tea set in front of him.
Although Jiang Feng does not know the tea ceremony, when he was in the Yunxiao Hall in the past, because his master and mother explicitly forbade him from drinking, he often tasted tea with Baishi and Han Feng roasted tea, and he also loved to drink it very much.
Unlike him, and Han Feng, who seems to be elegant but extremely improper, Baishi is an elegant person who really knows this way, and the inner disciples often call Baishi "Sixth Prince Yashao" in private, he has a collection of excellent tea sets, and he is easy not to show to others, but compared to the tea set in front of him, he is still inferior.
Everyone in the world says that purple sand is the best tea set, but Jiang Feng prefers this white glazed teacup without carving and lines.
In contrast, the blue and white porcelain cup is second, and the purple sand teacup is ranked last.
Wen Bin's collection of this set of superb tea sets, if it is fortunate to be a tea lover, it will be carefully cared for, as a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation, even if people who do not know this way encounter it, they will also cherish it, and they can't bear to bump it.
I just met Jiang Feng, a half-vulgar and half-elegant person, who knew that he was precious but not important, and the rest of the tea sets were not willing to take a second look, but the simple and elegant teacup in his hand was loved tightly.
Jiang Feng tasted a brew of "Remembering Jiangnan", which can be regarded as warming the stomach and cultivating the body and mind, and the fatigue of studying hard all night also disappeared in this cup of tea.
Saying goodbye to Qiu Qiu, Jiang Feng was about to go to the earth-shattering courtyard to go to Wenbin's chess game, Qiu Qiu sent him out, and suddenly said in surprise in the courtyard: "Father-in-law of the land, why are you here?"
Jiang Feng looked over with Qiu Qiu, who ran past him, and saw a pale old man sweeping the floor not far away, hunched over, with white eyebrows covering his eyes, it was the old man he met yesterday when he asked for directions.
"Father-in-law of the land?"
Jiang Feng followed curiously, Qiu Qiu stood still in front of the old man, and shouted again, and the old man seemed to notice her and turned around slowly.
"It's Xiao Qiu Qiu!"
The little girl made a well-behaved good morning salute to the old man, the old man smiled, touched Qiu Qiu's head affectionately, and his wrinkled face was like a blooming sunflower.
"Good boy, come! Father-in-law has candy for you to eat. ”
Qiu Qiu's father-in-law quickly took out a paper bag from his pocket, which was wrapped in a few golden candies, exuding a faint sweet fragrance, which was made in a very simple way, which could be seen everywhere on the street, and was most loved by children from poor families.
To Jiang Feng's surprise, Qiu Qiu didn't take the candy, but instead stuck his waist and pouted and complained: "Father-in-law of the land wants to play tricks again, last time you added chili powder to the candy, and I drank a big pot of water after eating it, and last time, you lied to me about what rock sugar gourds were delicious, but that string of rock sugar gourds was made by you with bitter gourd, and last time, there was ...... last time."
Qiu Qiu folded his fingers while counting the "sins" of the father-in-law of the land, and turned his head to Jiang Feng and said seriously: "Brother Jiang, don't eat it, the father-in-law of the land likes to play tricks on people the most!"
Jiang Feng looked at this white-eyed old man who had a relationship with each other, the corners of his mouth twitched, and after a long time, this old man didn't have any hearing problems behind his ears at all, and yesterday's back and forth between you and me seemed to be like a chicken and a duck talking about asking for directions, it turned out that it was simply the father-in-law of the land in front of him who was teasing him.
However, in the face of the little girl's number, the hunchbacked land father-in-law with white hair and white eyebrows just smiled, handed his hand forward again, and said kindly: "I didn't lie to you this time, don't worry! Besides, this candy is a little one, what can the land father-in-law put in it?"
"Really?" the little girl said suspiciously, holding out her hand tentatively.
The father-in-law nodded sincerely, looked at Jiang Feng and said eagerly: "Young man, you can eat one too, it's very sweet!"
Seeing that the father-in-law of the land did not look like he was lying, Qiu Qiu happily picked up a candy, and Jiang Feng also chose one and put it in his mouth at the same time as the little girl.
The candy is simple to make, and the taste is very pure, just simple sweetness, not to mention any novel and gorgeous taste, but Jiang Feng has liked sweets since he was a child, and he doesn't care about these, and some are happy to eat them.
Jiang Feng's tongue was wrapped gently, the small candy moved between the teeth, the upper and lower jaws were slightly forced, and there was a crisp sound of "click", which was imperceptible in the mouth, but Jiang Feng was surprised, this kind of candy should be solid, how could it be like a thin layer of sugar coating wrapped in the sandwich, and it was broken so easily.
At the moment when the candy broke, a peculiar taste suddenly spread in Jiang Feng's mouth, and in the blink of an eye, it had spread to his nasal cavity, Jiang Feng instinctively covered his mouth, and immediately understood the doubts in his heart.
Almost at the same time, Qiu Qiu also suddenly covered his mouth, his face turned red, his eyes were filled with tears, he sneezed at the same time as Jiang Feng, and hurriedly spit out the remnants in his mouth.
"Sichuan pepper!"
Qiu Qiu screamed and snorted a few times, but he still couldn't stop the numbness on his tongue, glared angrily at his father-in-law who couldn't stop laughing, turned around and ran back to Fenglin Pavilion to find water to drink.
The little girl ran all the way, sticking out her tongue and shouting aggrievedly: "The father-in-law of the land is a big liar, a big villain, and a tricker!"
The father-in-law's waist pole, which was not straight, smiled even more crookedly, Jiang Feng has never liked peppercorns, and it is unbearable, just smelling the smell will make him cry, but after all, he will not be too gaffe.
He looked at the father-in-law of the land who was proud after the prank succeeded, the corners of his mouth twitched, the corners of his eyes jumped, and he secretly said another strange old man who was disrespectful to the old man, and he could only say extremely reluctantly: "Senior...... It's really childlike. ”
Jiang Feng really couldn't find any appropriate adjectives, and the father-in-law of the land said unabashedly: "The old man likes this cute little girl, and I like to play with her, as for you, the trapeze is too weird, I can't play with the old man." ”
Jiang Feng's head was full of black lines, and his face couldn't stop being embarrassed, it turned out that he was seen by this strange old man when he was kicked by Old Qian yesterday.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Jiang Feng coughed twice, I don't know if it was because the smell of peppercorns in the candy was not dissipated, or to hide his embarrassment, he was thinking about saying something to alleviate the embarrassment, but the father-in-law of the land had already walked away with a broom, and he didn't intend to pay attention to him at all.
"Let's go, old man, I have to keep sweeping the floor!"
Jiang Feng was stunned, did I look so boring? I didn't even want to talk for a while?
But the strange land father-in-law has already gone away, and Jiang Feng is worried about missing the chess game with Wen Bin when he feels the time, so he can only suppress the doubts in his heart first, and then take the opportunity to ask Wen Bin a question or two when he is ready to play.
