Chapter 33: The Adventure of the Teahouse

It was also hot in the house, and I couldn't sleep, so I got up and opened the window again. Sit on the stool, close your eyes, and recite the secrets of the Tao that you have learned in your heart over and over again.

When I was halfway through the silent recitation with my eyes closed, I felt a cold thing slip into my neck, startled, and quickly got up and touched my back, only to see Xiaoyi's whole body slid onto my back, only showing his head outside. He poked his head in front of my face. I'm so angry and funny, it looks like I'm not playing with him, I'm looking for trouble.

I looked at Wang Jinhuai and didn't fall asleep, leaning on the bed and reading. I said to him: "Scholar, don't work so hard, I can't sleep when it's hot anyway, are you interested in going out for a walk, I'm coming to Qingzhou Mansion for the first time, how can you, the half of the master, do your best to be a landlord." ”

Over there, Wang Jinhuai also put down the book, got up from the bed and said: "You are also a poor Taoist, you have no money to buy it when you go out, you are not afraid of people's jokes, if you are not afraid, I will accompany you out for a walk." ”

"It's okay, it's okay not to buy it, I also know that there was a very famous Taoist priest here before, named Li Qing, I want to go and see if there are any relics, and it's good to pay homage to the ancestors of the immortals."

Probably hearing that we were going out, Xiaoyi crawled out of my back, climbed onto my shoulders again, and held his head high, as if he was in a hurry to get out more than me.

The two of us opened the door, went out of the door, walked to the door of the yard, just walked halfway, heard a squeak behind the back, the sound of opening the door, we looked behind, only to see Wei Zihan standing at the door, it seems that he had just washed, changed into a pink and white poplin shirt, the following is a long green skirt, the face is thinly powdered, to the door such a station, slim, as pure and lovely as a fairy. The cherry opened lightly, and said, "Is Mr. Wang going out with Lei Daochang, why don't you take the little girl with you, and leave me in the house, it's really boring." ”

Looking at Wei Zihan's posture, it won't work if you don't take her out. I glanced at Wang Jinhuai helplessly, and said, "Miss Wei misunderstood, I asked Mr. Wang to accompany me out to visit the traces of the immortal Li Qing, and I didn't call you to see that it was hot, if you want to go, go together." ”

Wei Zihan walked ahead. Behind is the little maid Xiaoyu with an umbrella, covering Wei Zihan from the sun, because she is short and has to walk on tiptoe, she looks very difficult, and when she came to us, she tripped and the umbrella was directly buckled on Wei Zihan's head. I hurriedly helped Xiaoyu, and Wei Zihan was also startled over there, but seeing that Xiaoyu's frightened little face was flushed, he didn't say anything, just glared at her fiercely. That Xiaoyu picked up the umbrella and had to hold it up for Wei Zihan. Looking at Xiaoyu's pitiful appearance, I couldn't bear to take the umbrella and block it above Wei Zihan's head.

Wei Zihan saw that I put an umbrella on her, smiled happily at me and said, "Thank you, Brother Lei, you give me an umbrella, Xiaoyu, don't go and rest at home." ”

I said helplessly: "Xiaoyu is too hard to play the umbrella, let's come, let's go." ”

When we came out of the inn, the sun outside was still very poisonous, but fortunately there were tall willow trees on both sides of the road, and we walked to the center of the city along the shade of the trees.

Wang Jinhuai said: "Miss Wei, Brother Lei, the most prosperous place in Qingzhou Mansion is ahead, should we go and see it." ”

Before I could speak, Wei Zihan spoke: "Okay, I want to go, Brother Lei, let's go." "Okay, if you want to go, go ahead, but don't run around, follow me." As soon as I finished speaking, Wei Zihan picked up, "Don't run around, I'll go wherever Brother Lei goes, and I won't leave you one step after me." As he spoke, he grabbed the sleeve of my robe with his hand.

Wang Jinhuai led the way in front and we walked to the center, Wei Zihan pulled my sleeve, attracting a few old women on the side of the road to look at us with their eyes. I was probably wondering in my heart, how did this Taoist priest take a little lady, and whether she was abducted and trafficked. Avoiding those suspicious eyes, I quickened my pace and walked eastward, and in a moment I reached the bustling place. But seeing that there are two restaurants taller than the Taibai Liquor Building we went to eat just now, and many shops on both sides of the street are full of people, and they are not affected by the heat at all. We watched as we walked, Wei Zihan was obedient, and he didn't go in the store he didn't talk about.

The group of three people walking on the street also attracted many people, like the eyes of a few old women just now. I couldn't wait to finish walking quickly, leaving the crowded place, and seeing a two-story teahouse in front of me, I said, "Go for tea, it's going to be cool upstairs." ”

The two of them are also a little tired, and they all agreed, so we came to the teahouse, there were a lot of people sitting in the hall below the teahouse, and they all came to the city from the countryside, there was no place to rest at noon, and there was not much money to go to the restaurant to eat, a few random buy a few baked cakes to burn, come to the teahouse to sit, to a pot of tea, sit for a long time, look at a lot of people, in fact, there is not much income, the teahouse to make money or rely on the second floor of the elegant seat, where the guests are all good tea, as well as dried fresh fruits, a tea to eat also two handfuls of silver, Therefore, the guests below are the ones who support the faΓ§ade, and the above ones are really here to drink tea.

The shopkeeper saw that although the clothes of the few of us were not very good, the temperament was by no means comparable to the people below, so he stepped forward and asked: "A few guest officers, the upstairs elegant seat, or the hall to serve tea." Wei Zihan said in the back, "What's the matter, do you think we can't afford to eat the tea in your elegant seat, the best room upstairs, bring up any fresh melons and fruits, and make a pot of Biluo Chunlai, before the rain, if I don't drink it right, I won't pay a penny." "This Wei Zihan doesn't look at his age, his family is good. So I've eaten any good tea. It's really hard to fool her. The little two led us to the second floor, the easternmost seat facing the street. Then I went downstairs to make tea, and after a while, Xiao Er came back with a tray in his hand, which contained four kinds of fresh fruits, Laiyang pears, Qingzhou peaches, Yantai apples, and a kind of walnut-sized dates.

Xiao Er put down the fruit, went down and brought the tea again, and then said: "A few guest officers use it slowly, and they have something to greet me." After speaking, I closed the wooden door of the elegant seat and left, a few of us ate a few fruits, I was chatting with Wang Jinhuai about Zhou Yi's hexagram, Wei Zihan poured tea for us, the window facing the street, the wind also blew happily, although I drank hot tea, but there was no sweat.

I was talking about the hexagram of the Gen: "The lower and the upper are stacked." Gen is a mountain, and the two mountains are overlapping, and the metaphor is static. It is the opposite of the hexagram. After that, there will inevitably be a low tide and enter the relatively static phase of things. Static like a mountain, it should be stopped, and it should be done. Movement and stillness should not be lost, it should be just right, the movement should be appropriate, and it should be stopped. When I wanted to continue, there were a few laughs from next door, and then there was "Yellow-mouthed child, I actually said Zhou Yi, ridiculous, ridiculous, really ridiculous."

。 "No matter how good my cultivation is, I can't bear it, Wei Zihan is about to stand up and scold over there, and even Wang Jinhuai, a scholar, stands up. I asked, "Who is the best person, and if you are interested, can you come and talk?" β€œ

I just heard the voice from there, "The old man is bored drinking tea, since you want to invite, then I'm welcome." ”
