Chapter 151: Asking the Past [3]
After explaining the condition to Uncle Zhang, and carefully instructing him to continue taking medicine, Zhu Yan left the tulou.
There are many tulou near the left of this "Jiangnan Spring", which are all built here by the big clans from all over the country to facilitate their families to and from Lingnan, and they are somewhat similar to those mansions in the Republic of China in Zhu Yan's impression.
It's still early in the morning, and there are many girls selling flowers on the roadside, and many people greet each other warmly when they see the apricot leaves.
A little girl in green clothes grabbed the apricot leaf and called her coquettishly, "Sister Xingye, you used to like to buy my daylilies the most, why haven't you come for the past two years?" ”
Xingye smiled helplessly, and took her arm affectionately, "It's not that I don't like this daylily, this flower was originally asked by our young lady to come out and buy it, she has been very sick in the past two years, how can I have the leisure to come to this Tongcheng, so I naturally won't buy daylilies." ”
Daylilie...... Also known as forgetting worries, the legend can make people forget their sorrows and troubles, Yuan Yaohua sent people to buy this flower, is it because the troubles in his heart are too much? Judging from Xingye's descriptions, she may indeed be infected with some mental illnesses, but she can still control her thoughts, words and deeds, and is not like the woman she saw in the Bian family, with a trance-like expression, skinny as wood, like a walking corpse.
Zhu Yan looked down at the delicate flower basket in the green-shirted girl's hand, in addition to jasmine, crape myrtle, hibiscus and other common summer flowers, the remaining half of the basket was all daylilies of various forms.
Daylilies are mostly a bright yellow with orange interspers, so dried buds are also called daylilies, and the taste is very light when placed in soup.
"This flower is so delicate. Girl, bring me a bunch of daylilies. Zhu Yan felt that it was not easy for her to sell flowers in the early morning at a girl's house, and seeing her like this, it was as if she had seen herself carefully diagnose people and supplement her family at the beginning. I feel distressed for no reason.
"Okay, I'll tie a bunch for Miss." The green-shirted girl smiled happily, took off a ribbon tied around her wrist, tied nine daylilies in one place, tied a very complicated knot, and smiled more and more beautifully, "This goose yellow with a turquoise pole looks the best." The color of the same flower is also commensurate, and this knot is called 'forgetting worries knot' here, and in the past, Sister Xingye came to buy flowers. It's all named to ask for this knot, I don't know if Miss likes it or not. ”
She is very clever, although I don't know if there are any girls of this age in the Bian family, but I see Zhu Yan accompanied by Xingye inch by inch. The clothes are not gorgeous. But it is also very vulgar, and it is definitely right to call "Miss".
However, Zhu Yan just looked like she was moody, and seeing that her knot was delicately tied, she smiled faintly and reached out to touch it, "Girl's skillful hand, thank you." ”
Turning the street where the flower sellers gathered, we came to the top of the main street. Although Wushi Teahouse is a famous place, it is because of the early morning. The people who drank morning tea and ate refreshments on the first floor were overwhelmed, but few of the private rooms above were covered.
Zhu Yan asked for a private room facing the street, which was also the one that Yuan Yaohua used to come to in the past.
The person who led them up was a young man, and when he saw that Zhu Yan was beautiful, he inevitably looked at it a few more times, and chattered again, "This private room is facing the corner of the street, and it will be very noisy for a while, and the sounds on the street can all enter the ears, so no one likes to charter this place on weekdays." He turned his eyes and looked at Zhu Yan again, shook his head and sighed, "I don't think Miss is from our Tongcheng, I don't know how lively this room will be for a while, if you plan to sit down for a long time, or change places?" ”
"Thank you for your concern." Zhu Yan smiled lightly, pushed open the door and entered.
The interior layout is not as elegant and pure as she thought, on the contrary, the carved partitions everywhere are wrapped with ivy, and the eyes are full of oily greenery.
"I love it so much that I won't change it, but thank you anyway." Zhu Yan's smile this time was much kinder than Fang Yan's, "Is the private room elsewhere the same as here?" ”
"Elsewhere?" The young man was a little surprised, since the girl said that she didn't have to change, why did she ask about other private rooms, but seeing that she didn't mean to play tricks, she replied one by one, "The characteristic of our Wushi Teahouse is that none of the twenty-four private rooms are ordinary, so it is naturally different." ”
Zhu Yan nodded, she had just passed through the corridor and took a hasty look, there was a small plaque with seal characters on the lintel of each seat, engraved with two words, but she saw that the level of seal characters was really not very good, and she glanced at it in a hurry, and could not make out the handwriting on it.
This private room may be the word "vitality", full of compelling emerald colors, which really makes people happy when they see it, maybe Yuan Yaohua likes it here, and it is also for this reason, right?
After waiting in the small room for a while, those snacks were quickly delivered, because Zhu Yan had already eaten breakfast, and the snacks he asked for now were just out of curiosity about the local products.
Xingye knew that she was easy, so she pulled her to taste the bamboo shoot jelly for a while, and stuffed the chiba cake for a while, where could Zhu Yan eat so many things for a while, but she just smiled and excused herself, and then took a chair directly, sat quietly at the window and looked at the street.
Indeed, as the little brother said, it was a lively place at noon, Xingye saw her sitting in a daze by the window lattice for a morning, and estimated that she was really hungry at this time, Baba came over with two glutinous balls and a stack of braised ducks, "Does the young lady sit next to this small window to eat, or come in to eat?" ”
"I'll go in and eat, and you can sit together, don't be restrained." Zhu Yan pulled her into the partition, looked around at the vines, and sighed lightly, "What did the young lady do here in the past?" ”
"I've been here with the young lady a few times, and she's sitting in front of the window like a young lady." Xingye handed her noodles and recalled, "However, young lady, she always looks at the people outside with great interest, why is the young lady always distracted?" ”
In the morning, Zhu Yan mentioned that Yuan Yaohua was sick, and she felt very strange, Yuan Yaohua has always been happy here, how could she be sick? However, Zhu Yan looked distracted all day long, which made her a little worried.
"I'm thinking about some symptoms." Zhu Yan pursed her lips, although she was sitting in front of the window, she was always thinking about Yuan Yaohua's condition in her heart, and she was even a little suspicious, could it be that her later mental trance was pretended?
"Miss, Xingye really doesn't think that the young lady can have any pain." Xingye flattened her mouth, and the chopsticks in her hands poked a ballball boringly, "The young lady has a good temperament, and she speaks softly, as if she is afraid of scaring those of us who do things, she likes flowers and plants the most, and the relationship with the young master is very good, and she looks beautiful, not at all like a person who is riddled with illness." ”
Zhu Yan was silent, many signs may be fake, but the tongue and pulse are absolutely impossible to be fake, she has diagnosed and treated Yuan Yaohua, it is indeed a sign of yin deficiency and fire, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Huh? Miss ......" Xingye suddenly smiled, pulled Zhu Yan's arm and shook it, "Miss, did you hear it, it's this piano sound again!" ”
"...... again?" Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows, because this house is very lively near the street, and the light sound of the piano can only be heard by carefully distinguishing, perhaps it is precisely because the apricot leaves often hear it that the sound of the piano can be recognized at once, right?
"Yes, in the past, when I accompanied the young lady here, I could often hear the sound of the piano." Xingye raised her head and recalled, "As long as the young lady hears the sound of the piano, she will close her eyes, as if she is very, very yearning, but Xingye sometimes persuades her to go to the person who strokes the piano for a while, but she retreats, saying that there are some things, it is better to be far away." ”
Zhu Yan pursed her lips again, she calmed down and listened for a while, and she had already recognized that the sound of the piano was "The Resentment of the Immortals".
"Let's take a look." Zhu Yan got up, "Your young lady is a little timid when she encounters something, but I'm going to meet for a while, who is that fairy who plays the piano." ”
She gritted her teeth slightly when she said this, Xingye was a little stunned when she heard it, and only when she entered the corridor did she hold back a sentence, "Listening to Miss's tone, it seems that you know the person who plays the piano?" ”
"Perhaps." Zhu Yan curled her lips and smiled, the closer she got, the clearer she heard the sound of the piano, and she decided that she could no longer play such an ethereal piano sound except for Never.
There was a man dressed in black standing outside the door of the private room, and when he saw Zhu Yan, the man was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head, "Miss Zhu, you are really here." ”
"Xiang Twenty-Four?" Zhu Yan narrowed his eyes, then calmed down again, and said hello with a smile, "How is your injury going?" ”
Twenty-four was stunned again, he clearly saw a little resentment in Zhu Yan's slightly narrowed eyes just now, but he didn't want her to change her demeanor in a moment, and he naturally didn't want to be too rusty, so he took a deep look, "Childe is inside, girl, please come in." ”
If it's really him...... Zhu Yan bit her lip lightly, until now, she still has no opinion on Yongwu, he is very mysterious, and he is also very free, the kind of freedom that is beyond the mortal dust on his body always makes her forget a lot of things, she doesn't want to doubt him anything, but since the twenty-fourth said that sentence that day, she has guessed the relationship between Yongwu and the Xiang family, and it is a little difficult to put it aside and not think about it.
Xingye didn't know what kind of dumb riddle they were playing, and when she saw Zhu Yan ask about the injury of the person in front of her, she guessed that he was also one of Zhu Yan's patients, so she smiled "grinning", "It's really a coincidence, just like the young lady used to tell me 'where don't we meet in life'." ”
"That's right." Zhu Yan also evoked a meaningful smile, "It's indeed a coincidence." (To be continued......)
