One. See Mountain Tower
On the side of the Qujiang Pond in the south of Chang'an City, there is a two-story small wooden building with heavy eaves, which was originally just a nameless small wine shop, which changed hands after several wars and depressions, and fell into the hands of a famous pipa in Qianqi in the early years of the founding of the Great Chu. After all, the shop is an elegant person, he carefully repaired the small wine shop, deliberately retained the original rough and simple, and deliberately hung an elegant log plaque on the top of the bare door of the small building, and engraved the words "see the mountain" without a head and tail. I don't say what it means, just guess blindly, and after a long time, this nameless restaurant that was originally cold and simple has become
"See the mountain building".
In this mountain building, there are two things that are excellent. The same is the smoke of the Qujiang River in the window in front of the building, and the other is the sake of Xiaolou alone in Chang'an-bamboo pith. Because of these two things, the mountain tower is becoming more and more famous, and it has become the most famous elegant gathering place in Chang'an, so although it is just a simple small wine shop, you can enter and exit its door, and the town lingers in it, but it is the children of the famous eunuchs in the city.
On this day, it is the noon of ordinary early summer, the sun is not very hot, the warm south wind rolls the silk and bamboo string song on the Qujiang Pond, and swings to the front of the mountain building. At this time, the building was sparsely populated, and a little er in a green cloth shirt was standing at the door of the building, greeting the guests with a smile.
I saw two figures, one green and one white, stepped forward, and the little two raised their eyes, hurriedly bowed down to meet them, and said with a smile: "Qin Gongzi, why are there only two of you today?" Situ Gongzi came one step later? The small one is good to arrange a window seat for the three of them. ”
The white-shirted young man in front nodded slightly, and replied in a deep voice: "It's just the two of us today, just sit and go, just sit and go, just take the usual seat, don't be deliberate." ”
"That~ But I'm sorry for Mr. Qin, the little one didn't know that the son was here today, and the Accord where the three sons used to rest was occupied by others today." Xiao Er bowed lower as he spoke, but the anxiety in his eyebrows and eyes faded a lot. In the end, there is no third young master of the Yasukuni Mansion, Situ Chong, and Xiao Er is not very afraid of the unknown Shangshu Mansion Qin Gongzi in front of him.
"Miss, are you really going in? What if I run into that Jiang Kui again? Young Master Chong is not here today, in case ......" The young man in the green shirt was full of panic, grabbed the corner of the sleeve of the one in white, and said in a low voice.
"Forgot again!" The young man in white quickly turned around, twisted two faint and slender eyebrows, and turned a pill of black crystal-like eyes from side to side, making sure that no one heard the conversation between the two, and then he was relieved.
"Oh! Sherry forgot! Little, no, young master, why don't we go up another day? It's been grounded for twenty days! Just came out, and came to this right and wrong place again, in case ......" The little girl named Xuerui took a step back, eager to drag her own young lady Qin Nanxi to leave immediately.
"I don't! I'm going to try the bamboo pith and the flower dew! Before the words fell, the white sleeve corners in Xue Rui's hands had broken free like a live fish. I saw that the white shirt flickered, and Qin Nanxi had already gone upstairs behind Xiao Er. Xue Rui had no choice but to hang her head and follow in annoyance, secretly praying that she would not run into the stupid overlord of Jiang Yushi's family!
Qin Nanxi chose a corner of the window on the second floor to sit down. There was a table or two on the side. She didn't pay attention, just leaned on the edge of the wooden window, playing with the jade fracture fan in her hand, and stared at the boats shuttling in the smoke and waves of the Qujiang River.
Suddenly, a pot of bamboo pith, two or three kinds of delicate side dishes that are often ordered are served on the table.
As soon as he saw the green and verdant porcelain pot, Qin Nanxi suddenly smiled, hurriedly poured a cup, and stretched out a palm to the snow rui beside him.
"What? Oh! To give! Xue Rui lowered her head and took out a small white porcelain bottle from her purse and handed it to her.
The small porcelain vase is only the length of a finger, delicate and light, with a slender bottleneck, with a round and full bottle body, and a faint crimson color on the thin carcass. Gently pull the small cork, and a burst of rose fragrance lingers.
"Hey, such a good thing can only be found by Young Master Chong!" Xue Rui lifted her nose and sniffed the elegant aroma in the air.
"There's nowhere to find this rosedew, it should be done." Qin Nanxi said with a smile, and his tone was commonplace and bland: "A few days ago, I saw in a book that the ancients used platinum as a retort, picked flowers to vapor into water, and accumulated them into dew. I think it's funny, tell him about it. Originally, I planned to wait for the hibiscus to bloom this summer, and make hibiscus dew with bamboo pith. He first used roses to verify this ancient method. ”
"Tsk, tsk, I'm afraid that Miss said you want a star in the sky, and Young Master Chong will try his best to get one for you!" Xue Rui lowered her voice and sighed, with envy on her face but also genuinely happy.
"What do I want the stars for? Besides, this flower dew is not difficult to make, but it is complicated and detailed. His family is full of people, where does he need to do it himself? What's more, Situ Chong has always been unable to calm down to do things, he must have dictated the method and his family did it. Qin Nanxi understood Situ Chong's temperament and temperament, and guessed where the flower dew came from.
"Young Master Chong has only been banned in the past few days, where is the time to explain to others to do this?" Xue Rui pursed her lips and stood up for Situ Chong, who had always been kind to her.
"He's out too?" Qin Nanxi turned his head sideways and asked, without waiting for Xue Rui to reply, he said to himself: "Also, the general who has been triumphant in the past two days is his own brother, so he naturally wants to pick it up!" ”
"What kind of person is this Tayan General? I heard that he is both civil and military, and he is a talent! Xue Rui squinted and asked, in the past few days, there has been a heated discussion in the city about the "General Ta Yan" who returned to Beijing to be crowned, and she was also very curious.
Qin Nanxi shook his head and said coldly: "I don't know, I don't recognize him." For the border generals, especially such famous generals with great achievements, she instinctively dislikes. When she was seven years old, she will never forget the fire on Cuiwei Mountain in Youzhou.
After that, Qin Nanxi lowered his head to avoid Xuerui, slightly tilted the small porcelain bottle in his hand, and dropped two drops of flower dew in the cup. Gently picked up the wine glass and sniffed it, only tilted his neck, and the glass was already at the bottom.
"Wonderful! Sure enough, it's wonderful! Qin Nanxi's eyes flashed, and she talked excitedly to Xue Rui: "It's not me who is talking nonsense, the bamboo pith is a pure wine, the smell is clear, the entrance is like silk, everything is good!" It's a pity that the aftertaste is too light and weak. If there is a harmony of the flower dew that suits its temperament, it must be called the best in the world! This is the best with rose dew, if it is with hibiscus dew, it will be the best in the world! Her unsolicited discussion drew the eyes of the people around her.
In the eyes of everyone, there was a scorching anger burning towards her.
Qin Nanxi said secretly: "It's really a narrow road!" Bumper into this bastard again! But he raised his head casually and met the anger.
A pair of enemies, looking at each other, saw that the sword shadow and sword light suddenly surged in the mountain tower!
Qin Nanxi hated the root of her teeth, the boudoir was grounded for more than 20 days, and her father and brother mentioned their lives every day, she really wanted to swallow Jiang Kui alive! But on the contrary, Situ Chong is not by her side today, and if there is really a dispute, she may not be able to take advantage of herself.
After thinking secretly for a moment, Qin Nanxi had no choice but to restrain his anger with great knowledge of current affairs, but he was unwilling to let Jiang Kui take the lead like this, so he did not hesitate to throw a cold gaze over, staring at Jiang Kui, not saying a word, but never giving in.
Jiang Kui's eyes were full of fierce light, he raised his hand and arched slightly to Qin Nanxi, and said in a weird way: "Young Master Qin!" It's been a long time, I heard that Gongzi has been studying hard in retreat recently, how did he get out of the customs today? ”
Qin Nanxi often wanders with Situ Chong, and usually makes men's clothes for cheap. Therefore, most of the sons of the families who often come to the mountain building know that "he" is surnamed Qin, and he is a person from the family of Shangshu Ling Qin Zi'an, but they also know that he is not the Qin family's genuine young master Qin Nanfu, only guessing that he is the nephew of Lord Qin, the clan and the like, and he is always in the same place with the three sons of the Guogong Mansion on weekdays, so everyone respects "him" a little bit in front of him, and calls "him" a son.
The last time Jiang Kuiqiang married a people's daughter, he was bumped into by Situ Chong and Qin Nanxi, and he was beaten and scolded and cleaned up in public. Jiang Kui was the first to lose, and he was afraid of the Yasukuni Mansion, so he could only suffer a secret loss at that time. Today's road is narrow, and it is rare that there is only one young master of the Qin family, who is on the left side, and he is naturally unwilling to let go of the opportunity to seek revenge, but he seems to have scruples, so he only glanced at the first place on his table with a roar.
Xue Rui was desperately squeezing her eyebrows to stop her, but Qin Nanxi seemed to be invisible. I saw her pinching the folding fan upside down and arching her hand slightly, and got up and responded: "Brother Lao Jiang is thinking about it, and the younger brother was ordered to retreat and think about it, and he only came out yesterday." I don't want to be lucky enough to meet again today, and it's not in vain that my little brother I think about Brother Jiang every day in Guanzhong. ”
"Yo, this closed-door thinking really worked, even a sharp-tongued boy like you has learned to say nice things." Jiang Kui only said that Qin Nanxi intended to reconcile with him, and he couldn't help but be proud.
"That's nature, eat a trench and grow wisdom." Qin Nanxi slowly paced to Jiang Kui's table, smiling with a sly face: "Little brother thinks left and right, after Brother Jiang's famous family, his character and behavior are full of everyone's demeanor, and the many advantages around him are enough to shine on the lintel." Counting carefully, everything makes the little brother's five bodies fall to the ground, which is enough to make a joint to praise. ”
"Oh, you should have heard it." Jiang Kui grinned.
The corners of Qin Nanxi's mouth hooked, and he said eloquently: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, righteousness, and honesty." ”
Before her words fell, the pride in her heart had not yet had time to rise, and the person next to Jiang Kui couldn't help laughing.
Everyone looked back, only to see that the man was drinking tea with his head down to cover his gaffe, so they couldn't distinguish his eyebrows.
There was a moment of silence on the table. After being stunned for a long time, Jiang Kui heard the words handed by a scholar opposite from the bottom of his tongue: "He is saying that you are shameless!" ”
When Jiang Kui heard this, it was like an oilwood seeing a spark, and even his head burned red when he landed, his eyes were smoky, and he jumped up with grinning teeth, and grabbed Qin Nanxi's arm and wrist.
Qin Nanxi is a thin girl after all, where can she stand it, she only followed Jiang Kui's brute force, her body stumbled, and the whole person fell down.
She was still calm, and in a hurry, she remembered reaching out her other hand to help the table next to her. However, she was dragged down by the damn folding fan that was used to pretend to be a gesture, she lifted it into the air, and the whole person slapped it to the ground with her head and face!
"Ahh
Qin Nanxi's eyes clenched, and he only heard a gust of wind in his ears.
Suddenly, I felt that my body was stagnant and stopped.
"Ha, it doesn't hurt, there is no pain in the whole body! Didn't fall, so dangerous! Qin Nanxi held his breath for a moment before opening his eyes carefully. I saw that the wood grain mottled floor slab crashed into my eyes, and the smell of old wood was already lingering on the tip of my nose.
Relieved at the bottom of her heart, she let out a long breath. When I came back to my senses, I realized that there was a pair of hands firmly on my shoulders. It turned out that it was not a fluke that he didn't fall, but someone helped him!
Slightly stunned, she decided to look up.
Facing him, he saw a blue eye. The green is like a cloudless sky, and the dust is spotless.
