Chapter Sixty-Nine: A Fairy-like Sister
Coming out of the east courtyard, Liu He found a family member in the mansion and asked him to lead the way in front, turning around the entire state pastoral mansion, which was equivalent to showing up in front of all the people in the mansion.
Liu He's style is a bit like a tiger patrolling the territory, the only difference is that the tiger will pee in the place where it passes, leaving some noise, but the eldest prince doesn't have to do this.
By the time Liu He came to the front hall where Liu Yu usually gathered, everyone in the hall had already left, and everyone either went back to prepare for the evening banquet, or there were other things to do, and they would not be delayed because of the arrival of the eldest prince.
To put it bluntly, although Liu He is now noble, he has no real power in Jixian County, and the civil and military officials in front of Liu Yu's account do not need to ask him for instructions and be responsible for anything.
Of course, everyone has to weigh more or less in their hearts before they don't bird the eldest son, although Liu He has no real power for the time being, but once Liu Yu returns to Jixian County, it will be difficult to say. After all, this is a fierce man who can take Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan and Han Fu in Jizhou, and he really offended him, but I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.
Although there was no one in the hall, Liu He was not angry at all, but swaggered to the main seat where Liu Yu usually sits, and then sat down unceremoniously.
"Zilong, brothers, find your own seat to sit!"
On the main seat, Liu He waved to Zhao Yun and a few personal guards, not treating everyone as outsiders at all.
Zhao Yun looked helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Son, don't embarrass yourself and the brothers, you can sit in the seats in this hall, we can't sit down." ”
Liu He buttoned his nose, stood up, and muttered: "Alas, in fact, that's it, it's not comfortable to sit at all, it's cold and hard under the buttocks, I'll change it for him when I turn around!" ”
Zhao Yun hurriedly interrupted and asked, "Childe, there is still a period of time before the night banquet, what are we going to do now?" ”
Liu He thought for a while and said, "I came to the front hall to meet my father's staff, since they have all left, then I will visit them in the house!" I heard that Zhao Beijia has the biggest opinion on me, so let's go to Zhao's Mansion at the first stop! ”
"Childe is here for a while, I'll go to the West Courtyard to let Zhengfang prepare gifts, and then call a few brothers to come over." After Zhao Yun said this, he left very competently.
Looking at the back of Zhao Yun leaving, Liu He felt a little proud in his heart, although he had only been together for two days, but from Zhao Yun's actions and words, it could already be seen that he had adapted to his new identity and began to plan and think about his eldest son everywhere.
After a while, Zhao Yun went and returned, clasped his fists and said to Liu He: "Son, the carriage has been prepared, and it is the old slave in the mansion who is driving the carriage, and he knows all the mansions in the city. In order to ensure safety, I brought eight brothers, as well as two swordsmen, Shi Ding, and when the time comes, I can go directly to the Xianyu Governor's Mansion for a banquet. ”
"Zilong has arranged it very well, let's go to Zhao Mansion!" Liu He waved his hand and strode towards the door of the mansion.
In the Zhao Mansion, Don't drive Zhao should be sitting in the study with a depressed face, and there was a woman in a white plain dress standing in front of him.
"Sister, did you say that I really did something wrong today?"
"Hehe, you've forgotten what I said again. Where is the right and wrong thing in the world? The so-called fault is that someone thinks you are wrong, or you yourself feel wrong; But if you change the person, at another time, he will think that you are right, and you will also feel that you are right. ”
The voice of the woman in white sounded very light, with a faint sense of leisure, which made people feel a little straightforward.
Zhao Cai said with some annoyance: "Sister A's words are always so mysterious, the more people listen, the more confused they become. I'll ask you, tonight I set up a banquet in silver to wash the dust for the eldest prince, do you think I will go or not? ”
"Hehe, you're irritable again. How many times have I said it, don't be impatient and hurried when you encounter problems, and keep a calm heart. If you've already made up your mind not to go, why do you keep asking me at this time? ”
Zhao should be a little embarrassed when his sister said the central thing, but he didn't know how to refute it.
At this moment, a servant outside the house said: "My lord, there is a distinguished guest from outside the house, is it the eldest prince of the Liu Mansion who has just returned to Jixian County, may I see it or not?" ”
"What? The eldest prince came over so soon? Zhao stood up in some surprise. Sister, do you think I'm going to greet the eldest son? ”
"Well...... you have already stood up, so why do you ask me again? Anyway, when this eldest prince was still in Jizhou, he heard you talk many times, and these days it has made your tea and rice not fragrant, so I will accompany you to go out to see what kind of person he is! ”
After a short time, Zhao Gai was in front, and Zhao Cai's sister followed behind with a few slow steps and came to the front of the mansion.
"I don't know if the eldest prince came, he didn't greet him from afar, rude, rude!" After all, Zhao should take the lead and salute Liu He.
"Don't be polite! and returning from Jizhou, you should come to visit your house first! Liu He returned the courtesy.
"The people's daughter Zhao Ai'er has seen the eldest son, may the son be blessed!" With a singing salute like a fairy sound, a woman in white came to Liu He and gave him a blessing salute.
The woman raised her head, and Liu He was able to see her face clearly. I saw that the woman in front of me was about the same age as herself, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, eyebrows like Yuandai, Qiong nose and red lips, skin as white as jade, light and dignified demeanor, and seemed to have an indescribable charm.
Especially the other party's eyes that were like an abyss, let Liu He see it, and he felt that there seemed to be a rippling wave in the inside, Liu He, who was originally very calm, suddenly felt a little hot in his body, and a little thirsty in his mouth, he stared at Zhao Aier so fixedly, he lost his mind for a while, and forgot to return the salute to the other party.
I don't blame Liu He, who has been a man for two lifetimes, for not seeing "Bai Fumei", but I blame Zhao Aier in front of him for being too beautiful and refined, so that a man like Liu He with a stable heart also unconsciously gave birth to a little charming thought.
Zhao Yun, who was following behind Liu He, saw that Childe was out of shape, and suddenly said loudly: "Childe, is the gift for Zhao Beijia presented now?" ”
Zhao Yun's "childe" was made with pure Zhongqi, and it sounded the same to outsiders, but there was an invisible airflow that poured into Liu He's ears.
Liu He, who was committing a nymphomaniac, suddenly hit a spirit, and then his mind regained clarity, and he hurriedly returned the salute to Zhao Ai'er.
Liu He thought to himself in his heart: "I'll rub it, is this the Han Dynasty version of the Little Dragon Girl?" It's so special that it can hook the soul! ”
Regarding Liu He's brief faux pas, Zhao Aier covered her mouth lightly, lowered her head and laughed so that her shoulders trembled slightly, which made Liu He not embarrassed.
Liu He is also a thick-skinned person, and after that infatuation, he regained his expression, and he said to Zhao Gai: "I haven't asked Master Don't drive yet, who is this young lady in the house?" ”
Zhao Ai'er, who had already stopped laughing, heard this, and her shoulders trembled again.
Zhao Cai glared at his sister, blaming her for applying the means of seducing men to the eldest son, and hurriedly introduced to Liu He: "This is my sister, I used to practice in the nearby mountains, and recently I went home to ask me for a few herbs. ”
Liu He heard the word "cultivation" mentioned in Zhao Cai's words, and suddenly his heart flashed, and he remembered a few people.
"This woman in front of her is the Zhao Ai'er who has ascended to the Tao once mentioned in the Taoist classic "Lingfei Sutra"? Looking at this outfit, is it really a bit of a fairy? Zhao should look thirty years old, call this Zhao Aier sister, but how can I look at her being more than ten years younger than Zhao Cai? Could it be that this girl really has the ability to stay evergreen? ”
With all kinds of speculations in his heart, Liu He entered the Zhao Mansion under the guidance of Zhao Cai.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Zhao Aier consciously stepped forward to burn incense and cook tea for Liu He, not affected by the embarrassment in front of the Fang Cai Mansion in the slightest, but Liu He was a little surprised.
In Liu He's memory, it is known that China's tea-drinking culture only began in the Han Dynasty, but the place where tea drinking in the Han Dynasty was more popular was in the Yangtze River Valley, and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it only spread to the south bank of the Yellow River, and in the north of the Yellow River, especially in the remote land of Youyan, it is rarely heard.
Now I see tea in Zhao Caifu, although the way of drinking is a little crude, it is to mash the dried tea balls and put them in a pot, pour boiling water and add seasonings such as green onions, ginger and oranges to mix and boil, but it also makes Liu He feel very rare. After all, in this era, there is no process of roasting tea, and everyone brews tea and drinks it like this.
Liu He picked up the tea bowl offered by Zhao Ai'er, tried his best not to let his eyes look at the "red face and troubled water" in front of him, and then turned his head to Zhao Gai and said: "Zhao Beijia is really an elegant person, and there are even rare things like tea in the house!" ”
Zhao Cai waved his hand and explained to Liu He: "These are all brought back from the south when my sister went out to travel, and after drinking it a few times, I felt that it cleared the heat and quenched my thirst, so I slowly liked it." If you like it, you will have some at home, and I will give it to you to taste! ”
When Liu He heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Hehe, I don't dare to take away the beauty of people!" To tell the truth, with this visit, I can't take other gifts, I just brought two boxes of tea from Nanyang, just a small gift, and ask Zhao Beijia to smile. ”
Liu He's tea is indeed from the treasure secret room of the Zhao family, the largest household in the Sanhu Pavilion, and he originally planned to bring it back to Youzhou to honor his father.
Zhao Ai'er, who was about to play the piano, heard this and quipped: "I can't imagine that the eldest prince is still a gentleman in tea, but the meagre gift in your mouth is really not thin, but I am afraid that the same amount of gold cannot be exchanged!" ”
Liu He didn't know what was going on in his mind at this time, and suddenly subconsciously said: "I don't dare to be a 'junkie' in tea, but if you talk about drinking tea, my son has some ways to make this tea drink more elegant and natural." ”
Zhao Ai'er seems to be very fond of the way of drinking tea, listening to Liu He's words, a pair of beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and regardless of his younger brother Zhao Cai, who was blinking at him, he asked a little eagerly: "Please also ask the eldest prince to give advice!" ”
PS: Guys, Sister Ai'er has appeared, but there are really people in history! Sister Fairy looked at you and said, "What's the point, hurry up, recommend tickets, collections, praise, and praise...... Give it all! ”
