Chapter 4 Yesterday's clouds and mist give birth to water

Since Yan Qing left, the teacher has always been up and down in his heart, and he didn't want to sleep after a nap at noon, so he got up and moved, sat at the coffee table near the window, and looked at the bluestone path in the courtyard through the carved window lattice, thoughtfully. On both sides of the path, the roses bloomed wantonly, and at the end of the path there were a few scattered bamboos, the leaves were green, and a few small birds flew by, "chirping" a few times, before Master Li's contemplation was stirred up.

Shi Shi stood up, walked to the piano platform, gently plucked the strings a few times, left the piano platform, pushed open the door, and walked out.

Seeing the master coming out, Zi Shan hurriedly walked over and asked, "Where is the young lady?" "Let's go, let's go to the piano workshop and take a look at the pothos," the teacher said as he walked, "Hmm" Zichai replied, took two steps, and followed the master.

Qinfang, in fact, is a water pavilion, in the middle of the pond, the water pavilion is an octagonal pavilion, eight warped feet, all tied with wind chimes, the wind blows, the wind chimes will send out a pleasant sound of "jingling, jingling", the water pavilion has 32 windows, on the eaves of the pane, carved with a variety of exquisite patterns, facing the door of the small stone bridge, hanging a horizontal plaque, on which are written two big characters: "Qinfang." ”

As soon as I approached the piano workshop, there were wisps of piano sound floating from it, melodious, like slowly flowing water. Clear and clear, gurgling and flowing, the song is wonderful, bright when unrestrained, delicate when euphemistic, the water in the pool seems to linger, occasionally stirring up ripples, listening to the sound of the piano, the two of them stopped, the teacher meditated, remembered the year, the sound of the piano took her, through the years, through time, and the thoughts of walking.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, interrupting the memories of the teacher, and the two of them moved and gently pushed open the carved door of the piano workshop.

As soon as the pothos stopped playing the piano, I saw the teacher and Zishan walk in, the pothos hurriedly stood up, "teacher", smiled and ran over quickly, the teacher looked at the running pothos and said, "Stop, let's see you," the pothos stood with a blindfolded face, the teacher thinly, separated from the distance, watching the pothos, light green, tight robe sleeve top, under the cover of light green smoke yarn scattered flower skirt, waist, with light green silk, tied into a bow, wind bun and sideburns, obliquely inserted jasper phoenix hairpin, light sweep eyebrows, skin is as fine as warm jade, cherry small mouth, not dotted and red, delicate as a drop, The master looked at the pothos, and remembered the scene when he first came out of the apprenticeship, "Miss," Zishan saw that the master was stunned, so he greeted him, and the master smiled and said: "Our pothos is more beautiful," At this time, Zishan, walked a few steps, walked to the side of the pothos, and took the pothos jade hand, "Miss and I are outside, and I am drunk listening to the music, and I am even more drunk when I see people," "Sister Zishan is bad, she will make fun of me," the pothos said while gently hitting Zishan with her jade hand, watching the two laugh, the teacher couldn't help but be happy, and said to Zishan: " Don't make a fuss about the two of you, Zi Shan arranges dinner, and the three of us will dine together tonight," Zi Shan heard the teacher's order and asked, "Are you still drinking?" "Take a jar of flower wine, let the pothos drink a little more, give the pothos an apprentice, and open a small wine banquet," "Okay, Zishan" replied as he walked out, and the pothos helped the master to sit down, "The pothos sat down beside me, and our master and apprentice talked." The pothos sat down next to the teacher. The master and apprentice shook hands and talked, warm, talking about the vicissitudes of life, with a fragrant fragrance.

The dinner was over, it was midnight, Zishan and Luluo didn't drink much, but the teacher, a few more glasses, Zishan asked the pothos to go back first, and helped the teacher back to the room, watching the teacher sleep steadily, Zichai left.

Drink some wine, the teacher slept very deeply, "Sister, wake up, sister, wake up," Zishan couldn't wake up when she greeted her, she could only use her hands to pull the teacher's arm, the teacher was sleeping sweetly, confused, heard someone calling herself, thought it was a dream, when Zishan pulled her arm, the teacher knew that it was not a dream, opened her eyes, and asked Zishan: "What happened?" Zi Shan saw that the young lady was awake, and said, "Sister, Yan Gongzi is back," what, my brother is back," the master sat up suddenly, and only then did he really wake up, "Where is my brother?" "Shi Shi asked urgently," "Wait outside," Zi Shan replied, "Let him come in," "Well," Zi Shan turned around and walked out of the room, Shi Shi hurriedly put on a nightdress, and walked to the coffee table outside, at this time Zi Shan pushed the door in again, Yan Qing followed, "Brother," Shi Shi hurriedly walked over, "Sister, I didn't want to disturb you, but this matter was more urgent, so I let Zi Shan wake you up," Yan Qing said apologetically, "Sit down, drink a cup of tea first," Shi Shi said, and pulled Yan Qing to sit down, at this time, Zi Shan had already brought two cups of tea, put it on the coffee table, "Sister, there's nothing else, I'll go out first," Zi Shan said, "No need to go out, you can also sit down and listen together," Zi Shan glanced at Yan Qing, Yan Qing nodded, and Zi Shan sat down.

Yan Qing took a sip of tea and said, "Sister, there are three things to say to my sister," Shi Shi nodded, and his eyes motioned for Yan Qing to continue.

"The first thing, Hongshan brought it back, I asked him to go back to the pharmacy, and let him come to the villa tomorrow." Shishi and Zishan were very happy when they heard that they had rescued Hongshan, and their four eyes stared at Yan Qing, waiting for him to continue.

"The second thing is closely related to Hongshan's return, I saw Liangshan Li Ying and Du Xing, Hongshan's pawnshop that mortgaged the jade pendant is Li Ying's family's property," At this time, Shishi and Zishan fully understood why Yan Qing came back so quickly and successfully rescued Hongshan, Shishi listened to Yan Qing's story, and was happier than listening to the first thing, happy for Yan Qing, because Li Ying and Du Xing were Yan Qing's sworn brothers.

The third thing, Yan Qing told Li Ying Restaurant in detail, Shi Shi and Zi Shan were stunned after hearing the last thing, they didn't speak for a long time, Shi Shi and Zi Shan kept looking at Yan Qing, stayed for a while, Shi Shi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked Yan Qing: "What does my brother think?" Yan Qing looked at Shishi, then at Zishan, pondered for a while and said: "I just heard that Li Ying wanted to invite my sister out of the mountain, I was very excited, so I was in a hurry to come back, but on the way, thinking about it, I always felt a little risky, and my younger brother didn't want my sister to be hurt a little more." Hearing Yan Qing say this, a trace of tears floated in the eyes of the teacher, and he looked at Yan Qing with affection, Yan Qing continued: "So on the way, I thought of a way, my sister still went out of the mountain, but she didn't show up, managed by Zi Shan in the front, my sister was behind the scenes, after hearing it, Shi Shi and Zi Shan all felt that this method was good, Yan Qing drank tea, waited for the two to express their attitude, and Shi Shi also pondered for a while and said: "I agree with my brother's method, but this time I went to Nanjing, I don't want to just open a restaurant, I want to return to my old business, and at the same time set up a music workshop, Training women to play and sing, because some big families also like their maids to play and sing, and they can earn more silver taels by training them in singing skills and music skills, "Yan Qing and Zishan listened to the teacher's thoughts, and felt that in the past few years, the teacher has been teaching pothos, and his brain has not been idle.

"Sister, just prepare according to what you said, I still have one more thing," "What's the matter?" As soon as the teacher heard Yan Qing say that there were three things, this will, and another thing came out, so he followed a sentence, Yan Qing smiled and said: "That's the case, before coming back, Li Ying told me that in a restaurant in Qinhuaihe, I saw an acquaintance, that is, when I was in Bianliang, I went to the fireworks field to play, there was a girl named Hua Rui, although she was not as famous as her sister, but she was also a smash hit, and when Yan Qing mentioned Hua Rui, Shi Shi and Zishan all thought of it, when she was in Bianliang, Hua Dan, the top brand of Huayue Building, Shi Shi asked: "Do you want to invite Hua Rui to our restaurant?" Yan Qing replied, "Yes, this idea, the road is not mature, just listened to my sister's thoughts, I decided to invite Hua Rui, in this way, sister is behind the scenes, Hua Rui manages the restaurant, and is responsible for Zishan, Zishan also manages the music place, our restaurant is the top brand, the main promotion of pothos, "Listening to Yan Qing's thoughts, Shi Shi and Zi Shan are quite in favor, but Zi Shan looked at Shi Shi and said: "Sister, let me do management, I'm afraid I won't do it well," Before Shi Shi could speak, Yan Qing said: "Zi Shan, you are in charge in front, and Sister is in the back to give you ideas, you will definitely do a good job." Zi Shan glanced at Yan Qing, still looking at the teacher, the teacher spoke at this time: "Zi Shan, from today on, Yan Qing, you, I, are sisters and brothers with different surnames, regardless of each other, when there is something, everyone takes care of each other, and thinks in one place, we must do this thing well," Shi Shi said very seriously, Zi Shan and Shi Shi, it is the first time to see Shi Shi's current expression, Zi Shan is happy from the bottom of her heart, Miss is excited, Zi Shan's tears of excitement have flowed out, Shi Shi looked at Zi Shan who was in tears and said: "From today on, You're my brother's little sister, don't call me Miss anymore, you know? "Well," Zi Shan nodded in response, and then said to Yan Qing: "In the future, my brother is not allowed to bully Zi Shan, she is your sister, you must take care of her in every way" Yan Qing looked at the serious appearance of the teacher, and immediately smiled and said: "Everything is up to my sister." At this time, Zi Shan knelt down and said, "Please sister, brother, please accept the little sister's worship, the little sister will definitely take the lead of the elder sister and brother in the future," Yan Qing hurriedly stood up, and the teacher helped Zi Shan up and said, "Okay, we have been good sisters for so many years, don't be like this in the future." ”

The three of them sat down again, Yan Qing glanced at Shishi, then at Zishan, and said with a smile: "I have one more thing," "Brother, are you doing these three?" Can you finish it all at once, my little heart, a little unbearable. Shi Shi coquettishly chased after a sentence, "Zi Shan didn't speak, just smiled lightly, Yan Qing smiled and said to Shi Shi: "Originally, I wanted to wait for the main thing to be finished, and tell my sister alone, since Zi Shan is my sister, let's talk about it together!" The teacher was surprised and asked, "What's the matter?" At this time, Yan Qing took out a brocade box from his arms, opened the brocade box, took out a butterfly jade pendant, and handed it to the teacher, the master took the butterfly jade pendant, very familiar, the teacher took a closer look, and found that the butterfly jade pendant had inscriptions on the mouth, and then looked at the lettering, there was only one "warm", the teacher was shocked again, Yan Qing looked at the teacher's expression and said: "Is it really the fan pendant used by the emperor?" The master nodded, looked at it carefully, confirmed that it was correct, raised his head and asked Yan Qing: ? You went to save Hongshan and retrieved the butterfly jade pendant, this is it? "Hmm" Yan Qing replied, did Li Ying know that this jade pendant was used by the emperor? I don't know" "Does Hongshan know? "I don't know," "Well, only the three of us know about this jade pendant, don't spread it," "I know," Yan Qing and Zishan replied at the same time. The teacher then said: "When I am free, my younger brother will take the jade pendant and go to Bianliang to find the owner of the butterfly jade pendant," "Okay, when my sister settles down, I will go for a trip."

"Sister, the matter of going to Nanjing is basically decided, I will go back to Nanjing, first, to give Li Ying a letter, and second, to see your accommodation arrangements, there is nothing else. After hearing this, the teacher smiled and said, "Brother, are you really finished?" If there's anything else, I really can't stand it," "It's really over," Yan Qing said seriously, Zishan also smiled and said, "Yan Gongzi, no, you should call your brother, sister tease you?" Yan Qing and Shishi both smiled, "Then let's rest, you can sleep for a while." Sister, I'll return to Nanjing tomorrow morning," "So urgent," the teacher asked. Go early and come back early, and the eldest brother is also waiting to hear the letter," Yan Qing replied.

Early in the morning, Yan Qing opened her eyes, ate some breakfast at will, and set out on the road.

At the time of the lamp, Yan Qing walked into Dulong Fort again, Li Ying, got the report, and had already waited in front of the "conference hall", saw Yan Qing coming over, and walked two steps, "Brother Xiaoyi, so fast, this is back, I have asked Du Xing to prepare wine and food, our brother three, while drinking, said, "Haha, I'm in a hurry, I want to drink with my brothers!" Yan Qing smiled and said, "Okay! Good! Let's go directly to the restaurant and get drunk," as he spoke, Li Ying took Yan Qing's hand and walked straight to the restaurant.

From the conference hall to the restaurant, it is paved with limestone, there is a flower wall on the side of the road, the flower wall is overgrown with unknown small flowers, facing the stone road, is the door of the restaurant, four dark red doors, the door is wide open, on both sides of the door, is a rhombic pattern wooden window, also open, Du Xing stood at the door, saw Li Ying, Yan Qing arrived, hurriedly ran up, also took Yan Qing's hand, and walked into the restaurant together

Around the restaurant, the white marble below, the light blue wall above, the small square pattern inlaid by gold wire, the red carpet on the ground, two golden chandeliers, hanging from the ceiling, the red candles on the chandelier are bright, and the candle wall lamps decorated with white jade on the wall set off the light blue wall, which looks elegant.

A dining table for eight people, covered with a white openwork tablecloth, in the middle of the table, a large white porcelain vase, in which pink flowers bloom softly. Along the perimeter of the vase, there are already delicacies from the mountains and seas, and at the edge of the table, gold, silver, and jade vessels sparkle.

The three of them sat down, and Du Xing poured full wine glasses for Li Ying and Yan Qing respectively, and then poured them full and sat down.

Seeing that the wine was full, Li Ying raised his wine glass, "Let's not say anything first, the three of us will do this full glass of wine first," After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the toast, Du Xing and Yan Qing also drank the wine in the toast at the same time, put down the wine glass, the eyes of the three of them were full of tears, the tears were indescribable, whether it was the joy of getting together, or the sadness of the Jin Ge Iron Horse in the past, at this time Yan Qing stood up and picked up the wine jar, "Little brother, borrow my brother's wine, toast the two brothers, Yan Qing poured a full glass after speaking, and the three of them took the glass and drank it again."

Yan Qing sat down again and said, "Brother, wait for the wine to drink first, and the younger brother will finish the business first," yes, yes, let's get down to business first, let's get drunk today," Li Ying and Du Xing also agreed with Yan Qing's proposal.

Yan Qing talked about the results of the discussion with the teacher after going back. Li Ying and Du Xing listened to it, and were very happy, "Miss Li came to preside over the overall situation, I was relieved, in order to let Miss Li rest assured to do it boldly, I discussed with Du Xing, transfer the restaurant to Miss Li, Brother Xiaoyi, don't stop this, if it were our brothers, it might not be so troublesome, but Miss Li, after all, we are separated from our brothers, our brothers, we have all walked through life and death, and we dare not guarantee that we will not experience life and death in the future, Miss Li will do things for our brothers, and she should be given no worries. After listening to what Li Ying said, Yan Qing felt that Li Ying thought too thoroughly, and also thought that his Guiyan Villa should also be transferred to the teacher, maybe in the future, he would really face life and death again, think about it, Yan Qing hugged her fists and said: "I'll take the teacher first, thank the eldest brother, and when the teacher comes, she will thank the eldest brother for his kindness," "Brother Xiaoyi, see the outside, we are brothers in life and death, everything else is outside the body, Du Xing, arrange a place to live tomorrow, clean up, and wait for Miss Li to come over, it is convenient to stay," "Okay, we have a small building by the lake, just idle." , Miss Li is here, and she lives there," Du Xing replied, Li Ying nodded and said, "There are some things, when Miss Li comes, let's plan carefully, today our brothers will continue to drink, not drunk," After listening to Li Ying, Du Xing stood up, picked up the wine jar, and filled the wine glass again, and the three brothers didn't know how long they drank, and finally they all got drunk and slept in the restaurant.
