178. Chapter 178
The scroll unfolded, Yuwending found that most of them were landscape paintings, and he was about to take a closer look, but Chao Yu picked up a few of them without showing a trace, "These paintings are not good, Ding'er doesn't have to choose." Although Chao Yu's movements were fast, Yu Wending had already discovered with sharp eyes that one of them was actually a small statue of Nangong Meng. Yu Wending chuckled in his heart, guessing that Chao Yu's move was just to cover up the fact that he had a portrait of Nangong Meng, but he still had a smile on his face, pretending not to find anything, and looked down at those paintings.
"The apprentice has long coveted Master's paintings, so I want to choose the one I like best." Yu Wending said as he compared the paintings in his hand and picked one, "That's it!" ”
"Okay, I should give you a gift for the teacher to move into your mansion." Chao Yu put away the rest of the paintings, and then walked out of the door with Yu Wending. After saying hello to Wuwu, Chao Yu left the Broken Intestine Cliff and went to his new mansion with Yu Wending.
The two walked around the house, and seeing that it was getting late, they went to the flower hall for dinner. A table was set up in the huge flower hall, and Yuwen Ding withdrew from everyone and drank with Chaoyu alone. When the wine was half-drunk, Blue Lotus brought a pot of tea with a tea tray, turned around and retreated.
"Master, you have always eaten lightly, and I don't know if the things prepared by the next person are too greasy, and this is the first time I have eaten this cook's food. If Master feels greasy, he might as well take a sip of tea. Yu Wending said, poured a cup of tea and gently pushed it in front of Chao Yu.
"Yun Yingluo?" As soon as Yuwen Ding poured the tea, Chao Yu smelled a smell of peach blossoms, he raised his eyebrows, and then took a sip quietly, holding the tea cup in his hand, his eyes drooped, as if he was thinking about something.
Yu Wending looked at Chao Yu, and his voice was Lang Lang, "Yun Yingluo, the special tea of the Jinyao royal family, you need to select the peach blossom petals that are blooming in the spring, pick them by the virgin who is twenty-eight years old, soak them in a special potion for seven days and seven nights, take them out, and then place them under the Yunying tree to cool for three days, and then place them in the sun for three days, and the tea making is considered successful." The water brewed by this tea is also very particular, it is necessary to break the ice on the day of the winter solstice, draw the mountain spring and bury it under the peach blossom tree, and when the ice and snow melt in spring, then break the ground to take out the mountain spring, and the boiling water bubble this cloud Yingluo, the taste is extraordinarily sweet. ”
"What Ding'er said is true." Chao Yu still had a faint smile on his face, and he couldn't see anything abnormal.
"Isn't Master curious about where the apprentice's Yun Yingluo came from?" Yu Wending's eyes were a little compelling.
"Ding'er has disappeared for five years, although the emperor said that Ding'er was plotted by someone, and his life and death are unknown, but now it seems that Ding'er should go to the Dark Night Valley. This cloud falling is naturally made of the petals of the peach forest in the Dark Night Valley. Chao Yu's voice did not fluctuate at all.
"Then Master, do you know who made this Yun Yingluo?" A trace of pain flashed in Yu Wending's eyes.
"Although this tea is good, it has been a few days ago, presumably from many years ago." When Chao Yu said this, he was finally a little moved, "This should have been done by your mother back then, and it is rare that the master and his old man still keep it." ”
"Yes, the old man has kept everything from the past, including the bamboo house of the master and my mother, including every painting you painted, master." Yu Wending's fingers couldn't help but clench.
"Master is always so attentive to everything about Bingruo." Chao Yu lowered his eyes, his eyelashes cast a shallow shadow on his face, his fingers caressed the cloud patterns on the tea cup, his mouth and nose were full of Yun Yingluo's breath, and his heart hurt because of Bingruo after all.
"Aren't you, Master?" Yu Wending asked this sentence, only to feel that his breathing was also tight.
yes, why don't you care? I never let it go. The smile on Chao Yu's face faded. I knew that Lu Daoyu Wending had gone to the Dark Night Valley, and everything would be impossible to hide, but I still suggested that he go to his master to learn the art of war. When that sentence was spoken, didn't he already know that Lu Dao would have such a result? After all, there is no escape from what should have come.
Thinking of this, Chao Yu laughed self-deprecatingly, and looked up at Yuwen Ding, "Ding'er has something to say?" ”
"Master, are you really staying in Yueli because of my mother? When my mother married my father, but King Jin Yao's arrangement? Yu Wending had a lot of questions, but now he only asked these two sentences.
"Ding'er already knows the Dao, why do you need to ask as a teacher again?" Chao Yu put down the tea cup in his hand and looked straight at Yu Wending.
"Master, when did you and my mother live in the Dark Night Valley since childhood?" Chaoyu's return is equivalent to confirming Yu Wending's problem, and Yu Wending feels a pain in his heart.
"I've never been his person, but I'm really Jin Yao's person." Chao Yu smiled, "Even if my mother sent me to Master to protect my life, it wouldn't change the fact that I was from the Jinyao Imperial Family. ”
"Although I know that I am the royal brother of King Jin Yao, I have never thought of restoring my royal status, I just want to be with Bingruo for the rest of my life, and I just want to stay in the Dark Night Valley with her to serve my master well." Chao Yu was immersed in the memories of the past, "If I hadn't had a sudden desire to take Bingruo to Jiangnan that year, maybe everything would be different today." ”
Yu Wending listened quietly and did not interrupt Chao Yu's words.
"When Bing Ruo was in the same year, Master Yuming took her to Jiangnan to have a look, and at that time I thought of taking her to the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan, so I took her back to the valley and asked her for marriage. As soon as we arrived in Jiangnan, we encountered a plague, and Bingruo was infected somehow and was in danger. At that time, although I knew some medical science, I could not do anything about the plague, and I spent all the silver taels on my body, and I did not see any improvement from her. Seeing that I didn't even have the money for accommodation, and I didn't have the money to get the medicine, I couldn't leave Bingruo and go back to the Dark Night Valley to find the master to get the money by myself, and I was worried that she would die of illness halfway when I rushed her back, so I was really anxious. ”
It turned out that the queen mother was infected with the plague when she came to Jiangnan at the beginning of that year, which was something that Yu Wending never knew about.
"I was at the end of my rope, so I had to give away the last piece of jade pendant on my body. It was also that night that a person came to the door with the jade pendant I had lost, gave me a lot of silver taels, and also invited the best Lang Zhong for Bingruo, and finally let Bingruo save the day and slowly get better. Chao Yu stopped here and looked at Yu Wending.
"You mean, it's Jin Yao's person who came to the door?" Yu Wending is so smart, he has been taught by Ling Yunzi in the Dark Night Valley all these years, and his mind is even sharper.
"The jade pendant I took away was left to me when my mother sent me out of the palace, and it was given to me by my father back then, showing my identity as the prince of Jinyao."
