Chapter 53: A Place to Reminisce
I don't know if it's out of long-lost concern, or out of the sympathy for the same person who once fell in love with the same person, when Zhang Jibai passed by Baifu, he still uninvited people stopped the official sedan chair, intending to offend the Bai family's old man who had just paid tribute to the official and his son-in-law's family.
As Zhang Jibai expected, not long after the people from the Bai Mansion went in to report, Bai Yinfeng Shanshan came over, and after not seeing him for many years, Bai Yinfeng was still dressed in white, and his posture was tall and long. Walking out of the Bai family's mansion from afar, with a smile on his face, Zhang Jibai saw Bai Yinfeng, and his heart was suddenly relieved, the dull and depressed feeling just now disappeared in an instant, Zhang Jibai got up and went to cross arms with Bai Yinfeng.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, don't come to Brother's Rescue!" Without waiting for Zhang Jibai to open his mouth to greet him, Bai Yinfeng was enthusiastic, as if the Bai family had already invited Zhang Jibai to come to the mansion for a gathering.
"I'm going to be alone, at home...... It's okay! Zhang Jibai remembered that after he took over Bai Maojiang's official position, Bai Yinfeng still treated him so closely, but when he thought of the vision of his family and the fact that he had just hit a wall with Xiao Jingming after returning from this trip, it was really difficult for him to say a word of good from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay?" Bai Yinfeng suddenly turned his head suspiciously, and then asked Zhang Jibai in a fake appearance: "How did I hear that the new household servant Lord Zhang is about to marry a new lady?"
Zhang Jibai knew that what he was referring to was the marriage he had planned earlier between Mao Yue and himself, so he couldn't help but save face and laughed.
"Bai Yinfeng, Bai Yinfeng, so much time has passed, and everything around you is a story, but you are becoming more and more uninhibited and open-minded!"
This sentence "Everything around is a story" touched Bai Yinfeng's heartstrings without pain.
"Yes, count and count, since I can remember, how many days and nights, spring and autumn, all the dust around me is a story......"
Zhang Jibai knew that Bai Yinfeng's heart knot was still unsolved, and his words must have reminded Bai Yinfeng of Fang Jiannanlai, and immediately responded: "It was originally scheduled for the eighth day of the next month, and I will marry a wife in the next month, and the wedding card will be sent to the house in person on another day, and then I will invite my brother Tai and Ling Zun to appreciate the light!"
"That's nature!" Bai Yinfeng is also interested, following what Zhang Jibai said, not dwelling on the past, pulling Zhang Jibai into the Bai Mansion.
The sedan chair drivers of the official sedan chair also followed the Baifu family from the side doors on both sides into the backyard of the Bai family, and after the family members arranged everything, they closed the Baifu gate in an orderly manner. A plainly dressed man wearing a wide-brimmed hat lurked outside the gate of Baifu for several months, secretly imprinting everything that happened in front of him deeply in his mind, until the moontop treetops, Zhang Jibai stayed in Baifu for dinner and then left in an official sedan chair, and then secretly followed Zhang Jibai back to Qingguo Mansion.
On the street adjacent to Baifu, a new Diancui teahouse was opened, and it is said that the owner of this cui teahouse was extremely mysterious, until the most elegantly decorated and elegant teahouse in Yong'an City rose from the ground, and everyone had never seen this boss.
The decoration of the Diancui teahouse is made of newly cut green bamboo side by side embedded in the original wood of the old site of the teahouse, I don't know what kind of process the bamboo used has been infiltrated, or it is born with a more pleasing bamboo fragrance, since the teahouse was built, the surrounding neighbors like to go to the teahouse to sit down, the white mansion is where the dignitaries in Yongan City gather, the first batch of customers of the Diancui teahouse, is also not rich or expensive.
A small teahouse, there is no literati dance, literature and ink pretending to be elegant, there is no attractive taste buds of the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and there is no beautiful woman playing the piano and singing to entertain the audio-visual, even a storyteller is not seen.
There are four floors in the tea house, the first floor is the open octagonal pavilion-style layout, six large long seats are three or three pairs, listed on both sides in turn, the front and back sides are open and transparent, you can go directly to the firewood room and the tea room behind the tea house, every day at the beginning of the day, Xiao Er opens six windows, adds enough firewood to the big stove in the middle of the first floor, begins to boil hot water, eight large kettles on the stove have their own stove pits, only a cup of tea, the hot water will be boiled, and then the first tea fragrance in the morning will slowly float out.
Since the opening of Diancui Tea House silently, several families around the morning are all over the smell of the tea fragrance of Diancui Tea House in the morning, brought to breakfast time, the special tea of the tea house are all out of the cage, chestnut cake, salty and sour dumplings, red bean shortbread, sweet porridge of clear lotus root, four kinds of morning tea are sold in their own quantities every day, Diancui Tea House since the second day of opening, the queue at the door to buy breakfast has lined up.
It is said that the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and even firecrackers have never sounded when Diancui Tea House opened, but it has become the most crowded but also the most peaceful and distant place in Yong'an City in a few days.
The first floor of the teahouse receives the common people, most of the people who come to drink tea are individual visitors and stoppers, there are also those who accompany friends to wander around and rest, at the foot of the imperial city, people are all with three points of relatives, regardless of you and I sit on the bench, rubbing shoulders, holding a bowl of tea, quenching thirst, running mulberry or good, family affairs and state affairs, chatting about the world, it is the best place to chat nonsense.
Tea is added at will, and I don't see Xiao Er to urge to get the silver two, if you are happy, you have a good chat, and at noon, you will naturally go upstairs to order a few stir-fried side dishes.
Slightly more elegant guests, three hundred and fifty lines, crawling and rolling, some small identities, to the Diancui Tea House will cross the first floor, directly pick up the cubicle on the second floor, to the second floor, the tea is according to the guest officials' hand-picking, by the little two according to the various tea ceremony slow and careful masonry, and then with the appropriate tea set to present.
Discussing business or inconvenient for outsiders to listen to is mostly here. There are not many stir-fried dishes in the Diancui Tea House, but all of them are light and refreshing, although the dishes in the back kitchen are slower, fortunately, the taste is refreshing and green, and it is rare to taste it, so in the afternoon, in the kitchen in the backyard, the incense of the stove and the smoke can disturb the tea fragrance in the teahouse to disturb some human fireworks.
It's okay like this, it's too elegant and light, it will always make people a little uncomfortable, and if it's too long away from the mundane world, people will be careless.
The third and top floors of the teahouse have not yet been opened to the public, and from time to time there are still a few craftsmen who go up and jingle and knock, although the four wild disasters are continuous, the people of the imperial city in Yong'an City are still comfortable, even if they are the people at the bottom, the porridge and pickles can still be eaten.
A seemingly simple and not at all casual Diancui teahouse is so silent, and it is rumored to be heard in the streets and alleys of Yong'an City.
When the people in Yong'an City speculated many times that the back of the Diancui teahouse was Hefang sacred, no one noticed that when Zhang Jibai left the Baifu, the bamboo window on the top floor of the teahouse was slightly open with a narrow slit, and then closed silently......
