CHAPTER 40
Mu Bai folded his hands behind his head, with a chic style of a son. Chu Yan followed beside him. There were also Shen Nian and Bai Li.
"Little witch, where are we going?" Mu Bai turned his head and looked at Shen Nian and asked. This time it wasn't a big deal, and the four of them went out to hang out after eating in the morning.
Shen Nian touched his chin with one hand and held it with the other. After pondering for a moment, he looked up at Mu Bai with a serious face and replied, "I don't know."
Mu Bai: ......
Chu Yan: ......
Bai Li: ......
Shen Nian looked at the expressions of the three of them and was speechless, "I just returned to the capital this year, and I really don't know where the characteristics of the capital are." Shen Nian spread his hands.
The combination of the four is a handsome man and a beautiful woman, which is supposed to attract the attention of others. The four of them were walking on the road just now, and they were chic and youthful. This time, all four of them stopped in thought, but the people around them who were watching them were speechless.
"Then what should I do, master? Can't you go back?" Bai Li looked back at the back, and could still see the big lantern at the entrance of the Shen Mansion. There hasn't been a stick of incense yet.
"I'm definitely not going back. Hang out, this is the time we can explore. Shen Nian pulled Bai Li's head back, looked at his big stupid eyes and said.
I can't defeat the majesty and status of my master, Shen Nian said secretly in his heart.
"Why don't we go to the teahouse and sit for a while." Chu Yan suggested at the exit.
It's good that the three of them thought about it, there are many people in the teahouse, listen to the people around them, and listen to the recent gossip before deciding.
"Okay, then let's go to the teahouse." Shen Nian nodded in agreement.
"Which teahouse to go to?" Mu Bai asked.
"Go for the best." Shen Nian said with sparkling eyes.
"Uh...... Where is the best teahouse?" Bai Likou asked.
......
The four were silent again.
"Why don't we go back to Shen Mansion and find a little guy to take us there." Bai Li just wants to cover his face when he speaks now.
......
Then the four of them followed a small servant of the Shen family to the "best teahouse", "Mo Daolou". ”
As soon as the four of them entered, the children looked good, they were all good-looking and well-dressed, and they were led directly to the second floor.
There are many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, handsome men and beautiful women, so even if Shen Nian and the four of them are good-looking, they have not attracted much attention.
Four people were seated.
"What are the four guest officers doing?" Xiao Er smiled.
"Come to the pot 'beauty picks the tip', and the refreshments should be crispy, peach blossom cake, pineapple buns, osmanthus sorbet and lotus crisp." Chu Yan spoke. Now he can see that Shen Nian hasn't gone down the mountain for ten years, and he doesn't know anything. Bai Li and Shen Nian are half a catty to eight taels, and as for Mu Bai, he is even more reluctant to speak to people he doesn't know. I'll have to order my own food or something. Chu Yan was suddenly full of doubts about the travel of several people half a month later.
"Okay." The little second brother turned around and left for a while, and brought the tea and refreshments, as for melon seeds and peanuts, they were all given for free.
Chu Yan poured tea for everyone, and a set of tea ceremonies went down. Not all teas will be used for tea art, but the "beauty picks" will send related utensils.
Among the four of them, Bai Li didn't understand the tea ceremony, but he also knew that he couldn't drink like drinking, so he took the tea from Chu Yan's hand and took a sip quietly, and suddenly felt that it was no different from black tea and green tea.
Shen Nian held his chin and watched Chu Yan's set, his fingers were slender and white, holding a tan teacup, and the round teacup showed Chu Yan's fingers even better.
It's really pleasing to the eye. Shen Nian said in his heart. Then he quietly took a sip of tea, looked at Mu Bai on the opposite side, Chu Yan first gave the first cup of tea to Bai Li, the second cup was Shen Nian, and now he was pouring the third cup, only to see Mu Bai looking at Chu Yan without blinking, and the tips of Chu Yan's ears were slightly red.
Shen Nian retracted his gaze and slowly put down the teacup, lowering his head, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, hiding the playfulness in his eyes.
Chu Yan handed the tea to Mu Bai, and Mu Bai took the tea. The atmosphere between the two was just right. But Shen Nian didn't pay attention to the two of them anymore, but turned his head to look at the storyteller on the first floor.
I saw that the storyteller on the first floor was talking about this literary test and martial arts test. Shen Nian was a little interested.
"I saw that the person who was the enemy of the Shen family suddenly took out a knife, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he stabbed straight at the Shen family." The storyteller slapped the table at this. The people at the bottom were very nervous, and they all asked, "Then what then?" ”
The storyteller lowered his voice, "Just listen to a pop, and the knife will be stabbed in." ”
Chu Yan and the others also heard the content of the storyteller, and they all listened to it, while Shen Nian clasped one hand on the table, slowly buckled it up one by one, and the white green hand was like that again and again, Bai Li's heart was suddenly frightened, I don't know why the sudden heartbeat was in harmony with Shen Nian's table buckle, and even Bai Li began to be faintly afraid of Shen Nian's next table buckle sound.
Shen Nian just lowered his head, closed his eyes, supported his chin with one hand, and buckled the table with the other, as if he was listening to some excellent tune.
But Chu Yan and the others were a little frightened with Shen Nian's sound of slamming the table.
The storyteller downstairs stopped at this point.
Someone was in a hurry, "Say it quickly." ”
The storyteller smiled, looked at the people who were hooked, and stopped selling off. I saw him snap and pat the fan, and said: "At this time, Miss Shen Jiasan went to the competition platform in a flash, and I saw that Miss Shen San was very beautiful, and her every move seemed to have a fairy spirit." directly suppressed that person, only to see Miss Shen San stretch out a weak and boneless hand, don't look at Miss Shen San is a beauty, but she is also a martial arts master, and she directly restrained the other party. "The storyteller slapped it again here. said: "This is to make the fairy angry on the stage, save his brother and repay the villain."
"Okay." There was thunderous applause.
Someone else asked, "What about the Shen family?"
The storyteller replied: "Naturally, it's okay, with the fairy Miss Shen family, how could something happen to the Shen family."
"Okay." Everyone around applauded. Many people give money to storytellers.
Shen Nian slowly opened his eyes, smiled slightly, stopped holding the table, found Xiao Er, and gave him a silver ingot, "Reward the storyteller." Shen Nian's smile directly captured Xiao Er. But Xiao Er has also been trained, and he reacted and smiled back: "Yes, thank you girl."
Shen Nian smiled, picked up the tea that Chu Yan poured for her just now, and tasted it slowly.
Chu Yan and the others all inadvertently breathed a sigh of relief. They all knew that Shen Qing's injury last time had hit Shen Nian a lot, and they dared to say it now, if it hadn't been for the storyteller just now, just because Shen Nian had heard that someone had hurt Shen Qing in the martial arts competition, Shen Nian might have gone down and lifted the storyteller.
Xiao Er gave the silver that Shen Nian had rewarded to the storyteller, and the storyteller glanced at Shen Nian's location without a trace, then thanked the people around him, and left. The teahouse is full of several storytellers every day. Looks like he's done with today.
"Little witch, are you alright?" Mu Bai said.
"Something." Shen Nian raised his eyes and looked at Mu Bai, his eyes were bright, and he replied.
Seeing Shen Nian like this, Mu Bai seemed to recall his "devastated" self when he was a child. I vaguely feel that someone is going to be unlucky.
After a while, the storyteller walked up to the second floor and came to Shen Nian's side, arching his hand, "Thank you Miss Shen San for the silver reward." ”
Mu Bai looked at the storyteller, his eyes opened slightly, this person actually dared to come up, no, this person actually knew the little witch.
Shen Nian turned around and stood up and arched his hand, "Mr. Yu is not at home, why did he come here to tell stories." ”
"Bai Gongzi, don't mind if I am next to you." Yu Yin turned around and said to Bai Li.
Bai Li didn't react at first, this is an acquaintance. But still nodding his head, slightly to the right.
Bai Li sat next to Shen Nian's right hand. Yu Yin smiled, sat down with the hem of his clothes, and sat on Shen Nian's right hand side and Bai Li's left hand side.
"This is Mr. Yu Yinyu." Shen Nian introduced Chu Yan, Mu Bai and Bai Li.
Then Shen Nian introduced Chu Yan and others to Yu Yin.
Yu Yin greeted Chu Yan and the others. I was also amazed in my heart. The last time I saw Shen Qing and the others, I was already very uninhibited as a young man at that time. Looking at Chu Yan Mubai now, I feel that the current generation is really full of expectations.
Then he said to Shen Nian: "I did this because of Mr.'s wishes."
"Why?" Shen Nian had the answer in his heart, but he still asked. Saying that, he poured a cup of tea for Yu Yin, and his movements were even smoother than Chu Yin, and he became a family of his own.
Even though Yu Yin has been following Li Jushi and Li Lao all the year round, and has seen Li Lao's tea art many times, when he saw Shen Nian's set, he couldn't help but praise in his heart, "Okay." ”
"Please." Shen Nian put the tea in front of Yu Yin.
"Sir said that there is a foreshadowing of the girl's reputation and what she will do in the future." After Yu Yin finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, and couldn't help but praise again, "Good tea." ”
"Go back and thank you Li Lao for me. Last time, Li Laobang gave me such a big favor, and I haven't come to thank you yet, so I'm really guilty. Shen Nian said with a smile.
But the intimacy of the relationship with Li Lao in his tone is audible.
After hearing this, Yu Yin really wanted to rush over and shout, come on, come on, Li Lao has been saying in Yu Yin's ear every day recently, why hasn't Nian Yatou come yet, have you forgotten him, why haven't you come yet, why haven't you come yet.
"Then I'll wait for Miss Shen San." Yu Yin put down the teacup in his hand. "Then I'll stop bothering and go first."
Shen Nian nodded, "Mr. Yu walks slowly." ”
"Little witch." Mu Bai looked at Shen Nian and asked after waiting for Yu Yin to leave.
"How?" Shen Nian raised his eyes and looked at Mu Bai strangely, waiting for the other party's question.
"The old man you just talked about is not Mr. Li Jushi, is it?" Mu Bai swallowed his saliva, looking nervous.
Shen Nian looked at Mu Bai like this, but remembered that Mu Bai wanted to come to take the essay exam, so he must have respected Li Lao as well as the literati students in the world.
Shen Nian nodded slowly, while not forgetting to keep his eyes fixed on Mu Bai's expression.
Mu Bai was obedient and looked surprised. "You know Li Lao, little witch, you know Li Lao. Can that help me make a referral. Mu Bai was still nervous.
Shen Nian looked at Mu Bai's appearance, and originally wanted to make some bets, but when he remembered the storytelling just now, he suddenly lost interest, and then nodded, "Okay." ”
"Ahh Mu Bai shook Chu Yan's sleeves vigorously, his eyes full of joy. Chu Yan was also speechless, I really didn't know why Mu Bai had developed so far in the direction of literati even though they had grown up together. But looking at Mu Bai's deer-like bright eyes, Chu Yan was also very happy, and gently patted the hand that was clutching his arm.
Bai Li can be regarded as relieved, "Master, you know Elder Li." He also asked Shen Nian.
Shen Nian was speechless, why was the apprentice's reflex arc so long, and then nodded.
"The master is amazing." Bai Li's eyes slowly respected. Chu Yan watched as if he saw the little star full of admiration in Bai Li's eyes, and he couldn't open his eyes a little when he flashed, and he suddenly wanted to use his other hand that was not grabbed by Mu Bai to raise it to block it.
The guests sitting around Shen Nian looked at Shen Nian and the four of them, their eyes were full of suspicion, and they all left the table and went to a place far away from Shen Nian.
