Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Visit to He She
"I snatched a talisman from the great monk of Xiangguo Temple, I don't know if it's a bad thing." Quietly looking at the girl's beautiful face, Chu Zhen smiled and replied truthfully.
"Hmph, I'm lying again." Yu'er seemed to notice it, and the flush spread on her cheeks.
"Hehe, let the little lady guess right again." Knowing that no one believed the truth, Chu Zhen smiled and said: "Under the surname Chu Mingzhen, please ask the little lady Fang's name." ”
"I won't tell you, scoundrel." In ancient times, where would a woman's name be easily told to others, unless that person was her husband, two red clouds floated on the little face of the girl Yu'er, and her clear eyes stared at Chu Zhi fiercely, and the lotus step fluttered up, bringing up bursts of fragrance, swept over Chu Qian, and disappeared into the corner of the alley.
The mood is much better, Chu Zhen laughed softly, for no reason, of course, it is impossible to catch up, turned around and walked in the direction of Chu Mansion, thinking in his heart, he will visit He Shi tomorrow no matter what, he walked forward quickly, and finally returned to Chu Mansion before the sun set, said goodbye to Mrs. Hui, and talked about the news in Chu Qian's house today, after dinner, shower, rest, everything was so natural, and I had a beautiful dream.
In the early morning of the next day, with the prepared gifts, under the pretext of going to Chu Qian's place to study, anyway, yesterday Chu Qian had already arranged his homework, so that he would go to him in two days, Chu Zhen was not afraid of the lie being exposed, and went out of the house, and immediately walked to the embroidery alley near the Four Sages Temple according to the address He Shi said that day, and according to the instructions of others, he came to the front of He Mansion.
From the outside, He She's mansion looks a little simple and simple, not too high a wall, there are a few lush mulberry trees planted in the front yard, there are a few stone tables and chairs scattered under the trees, under the morning sun, there are a few cicadas from time to time, and the courtyard is even more quiet and elegant.
After a few taps on the door, Chu Zhi stood quietly aside, and after a while, the gate of He Mansion was opened in a corner, and an old man in gray with gray hair flashed out, looking at Chu Zhi with a puzzled face, and suddenly, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "This son, may I ask who you are?" ”
"In Xia Chuqing, I came to visit Chief He Shan, and I hope the elder will report it." Chu Zhen saluted respectfully and handed over his worship sticker, which of course had He She's famous thorn under it.
"Childe, please wait." The old man in gray took the famous thorn, gently opened it to take a look, and after confirming, a smile appeared on his face, smiled kindly at Chu Zhen, and turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the old man in gray finally came out, the smile on his face was even brighter, and he warmly invited Chu Zhen to enter the door, but after coming to the living room, he cooled the person there, and he disappeared.
At first, Chu Zhen didn't care, but after half an hour, he still didn't see He She, and he didn't even see any of the servants, could it be that He Shi was really angry? Chu Zhen was anxious and guessed, but he asked him to come back to visit after the Dragon Boat Festival, and there was no time set, besides, with He Shi's mind, there was no reason to be so easy to get angry, thinking about it, Chu Zhen felt that this should be He Shi testing himself, so he naturally calmed down and continued to wait.
In the backyard of Hefu, the wind is turning, the flowers in the garden are fragrant with the wind, as if making people intoxicated, under the shade of a strong willow tree, two silver threads are full of heads, but the old man with a ruddy face is talking freely around a stone table, there are several plates of fresh fruits and vegetables on the table, in the middle is a small charcoal stove, there is a clay pot on the stove, the mist rises in the spout, exudes a faint fragrance of tea.
"Jichuan, your skills in making tea are becoming more and more exquisite, and the aroma is wafting, which really makes the old man salivate." An old man in a wide robe, with crane hair and a childish face, and an elegant atmosphere, smiled and admired.
"Yaofu has won the prize." He Shi looked modest, but there was a hint of color in his heart, you must know that the person in front of him is an extraordinary person, he can get his praise, and he will have a lot of face when he spreads it, if he lets people know that the famous Shao Yong is in his own home, I am afraid that the threshold of his home will be broken by the people who come to visit.
"Butler, you've been wandering around there for a long time, is there anything going on?" He She, who was praised, was happy in his heart, and paid more attention to the heat of the tea, and suddenly saw a person wandering not far away, but it was the old man in gray who opened the door for Chu Zhi just now.
"Bachelor, Mr. Chu has been waiting in the living room for half an hour, look at ......" After hesitating, the housekeeper walked over and said cautiously, although he knew that the guests in front of him were more important, but it was too rude to put the other guests aside, so it was better not to let people in just now.
He Shi sighed with annoyance in his heart, he only cared about entertaining Shao Yong, but he forgot about Chu Qian, and he also regretted very much that he didn't think about it just now, when he heard that Chu Zhen was visiting, he let people in, and now it's too late to regret it.
"Butler, you go and tell Chu Zhen that the old man is not feeling well today, let him come back another day." After pondering for a moment, He Shi commanded, revealing a trace of helplessness between his eyebrows.
"Bachelor, it seems ...... to do this." The housekeeper has been following He Shi for decades, and naturally knows that He Shi wants to accept Chu Zhen as a disciple, and he is still looking forward to Chu Zhen's arrival in the past two days, but people are here, and they have waited for most of the hour, but they want people to leave, which is no longer a refusal, but an insult.
"Go ahead." He Shi didn't understand, knowing that a good apprentice might not have a chance with him, he waved his hand and said with a trace of reluctance.
Sensing the old friend's current mood, Shao Yong was a little surprised, his heart suddenly moved, and he said with a smile: "Wait, there are friends from afar, how can you not see them." ”
"Yaofu, that's not good." He Shi said in surprise, if he didn't know that Shao Yong didn't like to see people, he wouldn't have made this decision.
"If you don't think it's right, forget it." Shao Yong said with a chuckle, after more than 20 years of friendship, how could he not guess the thoughts of his old friend, he was obviously very willing in his heart, but he still had to prevaricate.
"Hehe, in fact, Chu Zhen is a good kid, it's good for you to see him." He Shi smiled and added in his heart, it would be great if you could give a comment.
"Jichuan is worthy of being the head of the academy, and he likes to bring younger generations." Shao Yong said with a smile, to be called a child, the age should not be too big, thinking of He Shi's identity, Shao Yong also deduced the approximate one.
"I am tireless in teaching, what is there for me." He Shi smiled and said, "Housekeeper, go and invite Chu Zhen." ”
Seeing the figure of the housekeeper, Chu Qian, who was waiting a little anxious, was relieved, and hurriedly got up to greet him, after hearing the housekeeper's explanation, he knew that He Shi was entertaining guests, not intentionally snubbing himself, and his suspended heart landed safely, hearing that the guests wanted to see him, Chu Zhen of course would not refuse, and happily followed the housekeeper.
