Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Night of the Bright Moon
Datang, Chang'an.
Moonlit night, sea dress.
The seadress is the name of a flower, but also the name of a woman, the name of a woman who is delicate and delicate.
The fragrance of flowers hits people, and the sea robe bathed in flowers is draped in a green shirt on her shoulders, reclining on the windowsill, holding her cheeks in her hand, silently thinking about the heart that only the women of the flower shop understand.
The paper-cut moon hangs from the tip of the crooked-necked willow tree outside the wall. The night was as cold as water, and Haishang seemed to be a little annoyed by the night wind's unbridled intrusion on her, and was about to pull down the curtain and shut her boundless mind out the window, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of a person hiding in the crooked neck willow tree.
Someone was spying on her.
She broke out in a cold sweat: a woman in a green building, where can a place be worthy of being peeped at? As long as you are willing to break the bank, as long as you can afford the price, you can play her cards openly.
After thinking about it, Haishang came to a conclusion: this womanizer was either a miser, or he was so poor that he jingled, and took advantage of the night to catch a glimpse of her beauty by moonlight. Hateful!
A breeze blew, blowing away the willows that were hidden in the branches of the crooked necks, and Haishang saw a scene completely different from what she had imagined:
A man in white lay flat on a tree branch with a crooked neck, staring at the water lily-like sky in distraction, as if he didn't know that Haishang existed, and he didn't even mean to look at her.
This person's actions not only did not eliminate the unhappiness in Haisheng's heart, but made her even more annoyed: it is really hateful to let a big beautiful child look at it in vain, and actually admire the night sky inexplicably!
The sea dress was angry.
In the moonlight, the man in white was slender and looked very clean, he was motionless, almost one with the willow tree, as if he was born a part of the willow tree.
The moonlight is like washing, and the wicker is as light as snow and soft as silk. Haishang has never seen such a clean picture, and she can't help but be stupid.
Deeper nights. The chill is heavier.
The man in white seemed to feel the cold, and in response, he stretched his waist, stretched his legs, and then untied a white porcelain vase from his waist.
Seeing the porcelain vase, the man in white seemed to see a long-lost lover, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth obviously smiled.
An incredible thing happened: the man in white threw the porcelain vase into the air, and the porcelain vase made a graceful arc and fell straight down, just stuck in the willow branch on top of him, and his head was facing his face.
The man in white immediately plucked a willow leaf, held it up in front of him, and blew it gently, the willow leaf jumped up and floated towards the white porcelain bottle impartially.
A line of water poured out from the porcelain vase, crystal clear, as if the Milky Way waterfall poured straight into the secluded pool and blue valley, and the beads and jade were all poured into the mouth of the man in white.
The man in white closed his mouth beautifully, his eyes were brighter, his smile was thicker, and even Yeyue had a smile.
The moon is high and the clouds are light, and the sky is blank and transparent. Haishang even saw a few shallow folds on the bridge of the man's nose, just like a bend of spring water rippling with the slightest ripple.
Haishang was confused: what was in the porcelain bottle, and the man in white drank so happily? Borrow a willow leaf as thin as a cicada's wings to open the seal, magical!
Seeing the satisfied appearance of the man in white is like tasting the wine that the world dreams of. If it is really wine, then the way he drinks is undoubtedly the best in the world.
Haishang thought that her idea was very interesting, and the man in white who was drinking was very interesting.
The moonlight is even more charming.
Probably because Haishang had been looking at the man in white for a long time, the willow tree with his crooked neck was jealous, and took advantage of the wind to roll up thousands of willow waves, surround the man in white layer by layer.
The wind messed up the willows, and it also messed up the heart of the seashang.
β»The man in white always comes by moonlight on a bright moon night, and then lies on the willow tree with a crooked neck in the same posture and drinks in the same posture.
Whenever this happens, the seadress will take a good bath and better clothes, open the window, look at the crooked neck willow tree, look at the man in white, if there is still no trace of the man in white in the willows on the moon, the seadress will sigh, recline on the windowsill, hold the cheeks in his hand, and silently think about the heart that only the girl next door understands.
β» Willow tops on the moon, wine ponds.
Jiuchi is the largest restaurant on Chang'an Street, and the world's best wine is none other than Chang'an Street Jiuchi.
The wine pool is about to close, and there are still three men in Western Regions costumes shouting five and drinking, guessing the boxing order, and drinking hotly.
These three men from the Western Regions are brothers on horseback, riding horses together under the blue sky and chasing deer on the plateau together. The eldest brother Dawa Demba, the second brother Mima Tashi, and the third brother Laba Dorjee.
A few years ago, they broke into the misty and rainy high mountains of western Sichuan to collect medicine, strayed into a snow-covered canyon all year round, and mistakenly found the "forget-you-forget flower" that has been worshiped by Tibetans since ancient times. Legend has it that forgetting worries can make ordinary people forget the life and death of the world, and the joys and sorrows of the world. The magical Forget-Worry Flower suddenly changed the fate of the three brothers, making them the most prestigious medicine merchants in western Sichuan.
A wealthy businessman in the capital told the three brothers that he intended to buy the rare medicinal herb Forgetfulness Flower in their hands at a higher price, so that the three brothers could send all the Forgetfulness Flowers they had to Chang'an.
Money can make ghosts grind, Chang'an is thousands of miles away from western Sichuan, and the three brothers still trekked through mountains and rivers, crossed mountains and mountains to send medicinal materials to Chang'an, and handed them over to wealthy merchants.
One hand pays the money and the other is used for delivery, and the three skins forget the worries in exchange for the three skins of gold leaves. The way back is long, and the boss Dawa Demba thinks that it is inconvenient to carry the gold leaf on his body, and intends to exchange it for flying money, and at that time, the power of the flying money gang has expanded to western Sichuan.
Unexpectedly, if the big Chang'an Street, there is no business that is willing to exchange for flying money, and even the largest flying money gang is empty, and everyone taboos the word flying money, talking about tiger color.
I have heard that the old shopkeeper of Jiuchi is the East Helmsman of the Flying Money Gang, Donggui, known as the drunkard. The three brothers then came to the wine pool to try their luck, but the old shopkeeper who was accused did not know what happened to the Feiqian Gang.
Wine is the lifeblood of the men of the Western Regions, and when you come to the wine pool in the famous capital, of course, you will have a good drink. The three brothers put aside their worries and trivialities and drank freely.
After three rounds of drinking, the third Raba Duoji is straightforward and fast-hearted: "Brother Dengba, the capital has been prosperous since ancient times, and singing and dancing have been leveled." If it comes, it will be safe. It's better to find a place to listen to the music and relax your muscles. β
Demba was simple-minded and hit it off: "Dorjee, it's decided." β
Call Xiao Er at the moment and inquire about a good place to relax.
Xiao Er recommends the "Hibiscus Soup House" in the downtown area.
"The spring cold bathes in Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water is slippery and creamy." Yang Guifei bathed in Huaqing Pool, and the water was like a hibiscus. Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color.
The popular soup house on Chang'an Street imitates the concubine pool.
The soup restaurants in the city, the number of hibiscus soup restaurants is the best. The artist is good-looking, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and poems compared to wine. After the guests flop freely, bath and change clothes, they enjoy the fun of playing the piano, playing chess, swinging, painting and drinking together.
The most famous artist in the Hibiscus Soup House is called Haishang, who is naturally beautiful. Don't look at her weakness, if she drinks wine, she can't pull back even nine strong cows.
After listening to Xiao Er's introduction, Demba rewarded Xiao Er with some broken silver, and Xiao Er thanked him a lot.
Demba and Dorjee got up. The second Mima Tashi was still hesitating, and Dorjee instigated: "Let's go!" Tashi's second brother. β
