Chapter 136: Meditation
Cangshui beach, a line of birds, rattle marks shallow. The scenery on both sides of the strait is cold, mottled and remnants of winter, and bright flowers are eager to climb branches. This place called Simolou can see the alternating scenery of winter and spring, and there are also distant mountains and near waters, and long days and boats.
Several cottages are formed, one by one, to enjoy the spring outward, and the situation of preparing wine and food in the central cottage can be seen inward. The two people who opened the shop are husband and wife, the wife cooks the food, the husband serves the food, and they are quite old. The dish is very simple, the vegetables are stir-fried, the meat is pickled, and the bowl is served with a bowl of hot broth and mixed vegetables. There is no wine, and the tea is slow.
After the boss finished serving, he and Jing Di just smiled and didn't say a word.
"You're the first to come back?" The soup entrance, the fragrance is overflowing, Lan Sheng asked.
"Even this time, three times." Jing Di Road.
"The boss doesn't treat you like a regular customer." Isn't the average shopkeeper supposed to be very verbose and hospitable?
"The boss doesn't chat with the guests, and the guests can't be noisy, otherwise it won't be called Simolo." Jing Di also drank the soup first.
Lan Sheng took a bite of the marinated meat, and his eyes lit up, "It's delicious." I thought that you were stingy at the tablemate, or only ask for coarse tea and light rice, I was thinking about how to say bad things about you. "I still drool when I swallow it.
"Grass house, coarse tea, light rice, ordinary old people, according to the head of the collection, three taels one, twelve taels of silver." The reimbursement proves that coarse tea and light rice are expensive.
"Twelve taels? I said, why didn't you bring the pea girl today? She brought Nan Yueling to cover up the eyes and ears of the family.
As soon as Piqiu saw a few scholars next door painting landscapes, he immediately jumped over. There is no way, a little boy who loves art may grow into a literary youth in the future.
"That girl has been annoyed with her fat lately, and said she wants to go on a diet." Jing Di came alone in a car today. There was only one coachman, and the coachman brought dry rations.
On a diet? Or are you on a diet? Lan Sheng smiled as he thought about it.
Jing Di saw that she was smiling narrowly, and she didn't say anything, curling the corners of her mouth.
The two ate quietly in Simolu, served tea after the meal, and chatted only after drinking tea. The friendship is not deep, and you can't talk deeply, and say something idle.
ββ¦β¦ I don't know how Boss Jing's body is recovering? "The person who left a deep impression on Lan Sheng is slim after one side.
"The same old way." But Jing Di sent her away with three words.
ββ¦ How is the business at Fairview Villa? "She's a small businessman, isn't she?
"Okay." Two words this time.
ββ¦β¦ How is your illness? "Well, this is forcing her to ask?
In exchange for his indifferent look. The slits are a little bigger.
"You're here to invite me. Doesn't that mean to shut me up? Her questions were getting shorter and shorter, and he simply fell silent, which made her suddenly think of Simlu's style.
Jing Di smiled and wrinkled again, "Miss Lan has been asking about Jing. And Jing's life is boring. There is not much to say. However, the name of Miss Nanyue is now known to everyone in the imperial capital. It looks wonderful. β
"Jing Shaodong is not strange, it's not that I deliberately concealed it." If she is in the name of Miss Nanyue, she won't even be able to take a step.
"I understand." Jing Di's expression said that he knew it very well. "I invited in a hurry, tomorrow is Miss Lan's big day, I thought Miss Lan wouldn't come out."
Lan Sheng narrowed his eyes, "Wait, it's not like you're wishful thinking, right?" Deliberately pick and invite me today, I can't go out, you save this meal. Then when I get married, I can't go out casually. Young Ownerβ"
"The conscience of heaven and earth." Why is it always so happy to talk to her? Again and again, I can't stop giving birth to the desire to live.
"That's fine. The young owner doesn't know what to do, I have a lot of problems, and one of them is revenge. If you really want to avoid this meal, I will do everything possible to let you break the bank in the future, definitely more than a dozen taels of silver. Lan Sheng snorted.
Jing Di laughed, "Yes, Jing has written it down, and I will be more generous to you in the future." β
"Not really. Being stingy with yourself and being stingy with others is worry-free, being stingy with yourself and being generous to others is kind, and being stingy with others is disgusting. "Be generous to her? That's rightβ
"Actually, I chose to invite Miss Lan today, because I have one thing to tell you." Jing Di poured tea for Lan Sheng.
He stood up.
Lan Sheng was stunned, "The young owner stood up by himself just now." From the time I saw him, I had been sitting and standing with a cane, "Aren't your legs unable to walk?" "It's familiar, but you can't talk about stumps.
"There's nothing wrong with my legs, it's just that I'm so sick that I can't walk anymore, so it's okay to stand like this." The hand holding the pot trembled slightly, and the tea was slightly spilled outside, but he didn't care, and continued, "The Lord of the Long Wind Sea has arrived. β
I would like to inform you.
"So, who will take over the Imperial Capital?" Lan Sheng is more concerned about the one who is closer to him.
"Miss Lan doesn't understand? The sea lord personally took over the imperial capital. "It was beyond the expectations of all the big dealers.
"Huh?!" Lan Sheng was surprised, "Although there are not many people who know much about Changfeng Zao, I heard that the Chang clan, including the creator, has never left Yujiang County, and it is the largest Benzao line. β
"Indeed, the power of Changfeng is the strongest along the Yujiang River, protecting the dividing line between the northern and southern manufacturers, so the creator and the Chang family have been there for hundreds of years. I knew that the division of the imperial capital was a very important part of the Chang family, but I didn't expect that this time the creator would take over by himself. It stands to reason that Chang's descendants are full of shows, and he doesn't need to take care of them personally. β
Lan Sheng pointed at himself, actually smug, "Is it because of me-" The squinting eyes looked smug, "It's impossible." β
"In Changfeng's eyes, Miss Lan is a difficult bone to gnaw. For a woman who is new to the industry, it is remarkable to be taken seriously. But the girl should also know that bones are a delicacy for dogs, and you alone will not attract the sea lord to come. "As soon as I say it, I feel that it is wrong.
"Does the young owner say that Changfeng is a dog? Ha Lu Ha! Her laughter drew a glimpse from the other guests, as well as the boss and hostess.
But neither of them paid attention.
"Miss Lan, don't laugh, whether it's a dog or a tiger, Jing wants the girl to know that the sacrifice of the white sheep under the auspices of the sea lord is probably more just and strict, and there is no reason to pass by chance. The girl marries into the royal family tomorrow, which is actually a good opportunity to let go, as long as she reveals her identity to Changfeng and returns Qingyunfang to Master Lu, it will be a matter of losing some silver. If Miss Lan can trust Jing, Jing is willing to be an intermediary and explain the matter to the sea lord, believing that the sea lord does not want to offend the six princesses. "Whether it's Chong Xi or really married, Nanyue Lansheng's identity will be among the highest, which is undeniable to anyone.
Lan Sheng smiled, his expression was extremely serious, "Why does the young owner think Lan Sheng wants to enter this industry?" β
"Nanyue Lansheng, born to Wu Mei, the sister of the wife of the great master, Wu's inherited the blood of the Great Witch of the East China Sea, and his mother was sent to live in other counties for thirteen years, and the eldest lady was taken back to the house by the national teacher after her death. The identity of the concubine is incompetent, she has been away from home for many years, her family affection is weak, and she can't call the shots in everything. Miss Lan wants to earn a way out for herself, which is reasonable. β
This man understands her! Lan Sheng suddenly became excited in his heart, biting his lip, but looking at the pale sick face with a smile.
"I understand, but Miss Lan should also understand that since ancient times, there have been no women in this industry because women are not talented, but because men are dictatorship. This is an ancient opinion, Miss Lan doesn't need to argue with me. Jing Di only said the facts.
"I don't argue, I understand. But there are also special cases in ancient customs, the most famous is Mulan joining the army. β
"Mulan is filial piety, filial piety moves the sky, and the torrent retreats bravely, so it is widely praised. I asked Miss Lan, can you compare yourself to Mulan? He wondered if she was so smart, or if Elm was just stubborn and stubborn.
"I don't seek fame, I don't want to be filial, I don't compare to Mulan, I am me. Thank you Shao Dong for informing me of this, but Lan Sheng can't give up Qingyunfang, please hide your identity for me for the time being. And just now, Lan Sheng heard that the young owner was fair to the sea lord. I believe that as long as Changfeng is still fair, I may not lose. If I lose, I won't cheat, and I'm willing not to mention anything about entering the industry again. "She didn't change her mind.
Jing Di picked up the teacup, closed his eyes and sipped it, so long that Lan Sheng thought he was hanging.
"Miss Lan is so confident." He waved to the coachman, and the carriage stopped in front of the grass hut to leave.
Lan Sheng got up and saw that he was supported by a wooden cane, and did not step forward to help. Arrogance is a strong feeling that this person gives her, which can overshadow his businessman's spirit.
"If Jing told you that you lost from the moment you made a deal with Fairview Villa, how would you feel?" He got into the car, and the driver didn't help him.
Lan Sheng uh, "What do you mean by the young owner?" β
No one answered her, and the car drove in front of her, as if absolutely it was, but it wasn't.
Jing Di lay down, and had exhausted all her strength until now, as if saying to herself, "I want to live." β
A pair of hands covered him with a brocade quilt, and Hongdou's voice was overjoyed, "The master thinks well, as long as you want, there is nothing that cannot be done." After a while, "Is it because of Miss Lan?" β
"Well, she's so embattled, why does she live so well? I think if I lived a little longer, I might be like her. She was always bright and jumping in her eyes, smearing the dull and gray vision with colorful colors, making him want to see a little more, and a little more, the scenery of this world.
"Yes, yes." Red Bean cried with joy, "You are with her, and there will be many good things in the future." β
With a clear cough, Jing Di said, "Hongdou, do you think I like her?" β
Belch? Hongdou was a little cautious, "Doesn't the master like her?" β
"I like it, but it's not like the love between men and women, that is, the friendship of eating at the same table." If life is an endless feast, he is tired of eating a table of magnificent banquets, and when he wants to leave, he accidentally sits at a table with her, and it becomes wonderful in an instant. It has nothing to do with gender, and naturally it has nothing to do with love.
"In any case, Hongdou is grateful to Miss Lan, if the owner is better because of this, Miss Lan is Hongdou's benefactor, and she is willing to repay her as a cow and a horse." Red Bean's voice was quiet, because she heard a slight snoring, and covered her mouth and burst into tears. How many times have you seen him sleep peacefully since you served?
But at this moment, Jing Di slept soundly, and her wrinkled old skull face actually showed a childlike sleeping face-
Sorry, just got home, even later. (To be continued......)
