Chapter 108: Cooking Tea and Asking the Heart
"Grandma." Han Yan entered the house and saw that the three of them were talking and laughing, not like something big had happened.
The Han Yin clan was relieved by Gu Qingyan, and now looking at Han Yan, he only feels that this child has worked hard recently and lost some weight, but he feels more stable and mature, and beckons Han Yan to step forward.
Han Yan moved obediently, Gu Qingyan and Su Tanxue at this time looked at the two of them and retreated, and when they retreated behind the curtain, Gu Qingyan pulled Su Tanxue, and the place where he held his hand was Su Tanxue's left wrist, and he could feel the position of the pulse.
Su Tanxue thought that Gu Qingyan was going to quietly diagnose her pulse again, so she unconsciously moved her wrist and wanted to get rid of it, realizing this, Gu Qingyan let go of her hand, her face was as usual, and she only let her behind her, signaling to quietly take a look at the conversation between the old lady and Han Yan.
"Yan'er, I think you know that I have always believed that you can manage Qingquan Villa well, but I am also worried that you will work too hard and that something will happen to you, after all, no matter how old you are in our eyes, you are still a child after all."
"Grandma...."
"I know what you are going to do in the future and what kind of situation you will face, so I will eventually have depression in my heart and can't be comfortable, but today, I also understand, even if we were all children of the rivers and lakes, now I am also an old bone, your grandfather has also been gone for a long time, your father and mother will occasionally get sick, you, too, how the wind and rain are actually you have not experienced, and you are not a pampered child, so grandma has no reason to worry and worry."
As he spoke, Hanyin took the bag that had just been prepared, and said, "At the beginning, your grandfather should have given everything to your father, and only one thing was kept by grandma, that is, your father wanted it, and he could only borrow it from me temporarily, and now, it will be handed over to you." ”
After speaking, the Hanyin clan took Han Yan's hand, and solemnly handed over the things to Han Yan's hand, which was the secret room key handed down from Qingquan Villa through the dynasties.
Han Yan had only heard of it before, and had never stepped into half of it.
"This is the most important lifeblood of Qingquan Villa, why has the villa not moved over the years but is still feared, that's it."
Han Yan held it tightly, lifted his long coat, and knelt down to thank him.
The Hanyin Clan's decision Gu Qingyan was also unexpected, and at this time, the same surprised expression as Su Tanxue was behind the curtain: "You can't say anything about this." ”
Gu Qingyan, who still had a trace of sanity, reminded Su Tanxue nodded again and again, until the Hanyin Clan let the two of them out, and then the two of them moved small steps, and went out as if nothing had happened.
"Okay, you guys, I'll rest for a while, Qingyan girl, don't forget what you promised me."
"Yes, Grandma."
Han Yan glanced at Gu Qingyan, it had only been a long time, grandma's heart was knotted, not to mention, these two people still have a little secret.
So when the three of them were walking in the corridor outside, Han Yan looked at Gu Qingyan walking ahead with a smug face, and couldn't help but let Tanxue beside him slow down, and asked her in a low voice: "Tanxue, what happened just now?" ”
Su Tanxue covered her mouth and described the incident to Han Yan in a low voice, Han Yan looked at Gu Qingyan's back intentionally or unintentionally while listening, but he only mentioned one sentence in his letter, I am afraid that there will be about ten words before and after, this girl is really relieved, it seems that she will have to prepare a few more dishes in the small kitchen for a while, and she will be rewarded.
But about what little secret, when Han Yan asked Su Tanxue again, she only said that she didn't know much either: "It's like grandma and Qingyan suddenly reached an agreement." ”
Han Yan accepted his fate, thanked Su Tanxue, explained himself, quickly followed Gu Qingyan, walked side by side with her, put his hands behind his back, cleared his throat, and said, "Thank you, Gu Qingyan." ”
Gu Qingyan turned his head to look at him, smiled, and said jokingly: "Did the young owner thank me for helping grandma relieve his mood, or did he thank me for giving the young owner an extra key?" ”
Facing Gu Qingyan's joke, Han Yan pushed her head from behind: "You can bear it." Let's go, your big brother and they're waiting. ”
"What are you waiting for? What did you just do? ”
"Discuss the latest events in the city later."
"Oh? I heard that you have a right-hand man who is your senior brother? You can just discuss it, and you want to pull my brothers? ”
"Hmph, not only that, but I also have to pull you two." Han Yan snorted lightly, never giving Gu Qingyan a chance to be lazy, beckoned behind him, and motioned for Su Tanxue to follow.
Lin Rui must have heard of the names of Xu Shaolin, Baili Mo, and even Gu Qingyan, but he had never seen a real person, so with a simple polite sentence and Han Yan's trust in them, these people quickly chatted.
It's just that when Lin Rui mentioned what happened in the city last night, Xu Shaolin and Baili Mo glanced at each other, and inexplicably understood that Gu Qingyan had changed his mask in the morning and looked like he was in trouble.
Therefore, these two people are also extremely "kind" not to expose it, just waiting for the moment when Han Yan brings people over.
"How were you talking?" Han Yan walked in front of everyone first, and Gu Qingyan and Su Tanxue followed behind while talking.
Lin Rui turned around and wanted to reply, and when he caught a glimpse of Gu Qingyan, he only wanted to say hello to the four girls first, so when Gu Qingyan approached, Han Yan introduced him first.
"Senior brother, this is the fourth girl, Gu Qingyan."
"This is my senior brother, Lin Rui."
At this time, Gu Qingyan bowed slightly, Lin Rui only felt that this figure was similar to last night's woman, and when the two said hello, Gu Qingyan raised his head, Lin Rui saw those smiling eyes, and the doubts in his eyes slowly turned into affirmation.
The foot unconsciously took a step back: "It turns out...."
"It's me." Gu Qingyan then finished his words.
Han Yan didn't understand again, thinking why he had so many doubts today, and looked at Gu Qingyan, as if asking her what was going on.
Gu Qingyan smiled, and the words he said once again helped Lin Rui affirm the thoughts in his mind: "We, we've met, last night, he got in the way of me and was led away by me." I guess that the people he left in the city are looking around for my details, do you want to take back the order? ”
Gu Qingyan's last question was obviously asked towards Han Yan, but it made Lin Rui shudder, Gu Qingyan saw Lin Rui's slightly changed expression and forced calm smirk, and he also felt that he was almost there.
Xu Shaolin came out to relieve the siege: "Okay, you did it deliberately from the beginning, and you will pay someone compensation." ”
Gu Qingyan quietly stuck out his tongue under the veil, and Lin Rui couldn't really let Gu Qingyan compensate him, he didn't have to be busy, and the matter was over.
A few people wanted to continue to sit in the warm pavilion and talk about things, Su Tanxue was a little uncomfortable, not knowing whether to stay or do something, Gu Qingyan walked to her side and tugged at her sleeve: "Come with me." ”
As he spoke, he took the person to the side and sat on the couch, where the tea table, tea set and a pot and cup had already been placed, not for Gu Qingyan to prepare who else.
Familiar with the way sat down, began to prepare things, and whispered to Su Tanxue, who was sitting with her obediently: "Have you ever talked to Brother Yan about things before?" ”
Su Tanxue shook her head and asked Gu Qingyan again: "Qingyan, do you often go with them?" ”
Gu Qingyan also shook his head: "Not before, I didn't like to deal with these before, I was afraid of trouble." That's why I always run far away when my brothers are arguing. Later, I started to take care of things, and it was always bad to let them or others relay it, so we slowly got together. ”
"But, I..." Su Tanxue wanted to say that she didn't seem to have anything to meddle in, so she was afraid that she would be redundant.
Gu Qingyan handed her a teaspoon and motioned her to wipe it with the cloth prepared on the side, so that she could have something to do in her hands: "I think, what Hanyan means should be that you are going to Biluo Palace with us, and some things are better to know directly than to listen to others." ”
"It doesn't seem like it was before." Su Tanxue lowered her head and murmured softly.
"Before?" Gu Qingyan reacted for a moment, and roughly knew the meaning, "In comparison, you are also half a deep girl, they are all big men in the study, if you are only a girl, you will inevitably feel uncomfortable." ”
Now that Gu Qingyan is a lot of girls, Su Tanxue will not be embarrassed even if she is not very comfortable, and there is also a silk screen between the place where the two of them cook tea and where several other people are sitting, and when they look at each other, they can see the silhouette of the figure dimly.
Su Tanxue subconsciously helped Gu Qingyan: "Then let's just listen." ”
Gu Qingyan nodded: "If you want to speak, just say two sentences, if you want to say anything, if not, you can just take care of our own." ”
The water in the pot began to bubble, Gu Qingyan began to add the special seasoning at hand to the pot, and at this time in the outhouse, Lin Rui was talking to everyone about going to the city to investigate the situation of the swordsmen.
"So, it's really mixed up in the city now." After listening to this, Baili Mo said.
Lin Rui nodded, and the little famous ones were also turned out of the table, and the next thing to discuss was whether Qingquan Villa took the initiative to attack.
If you follow Han Yan's idea, he will naturally want to wait and see what happens, although Lin Rui wants to strike first, but Han Yan agrees.
Xu Shaolin said: "Do you have any concerns? ”
Han Yan said: "Although they said that they would take the mountain villa as a goal to challenge, but now you also know that it is only lip service, they have no action, and we lack a reason to take the initiative." ”
Qingquan Villa is famous in the rivers and lakes, and it is indeed easy for people to frame it rashly in the city, and it is normal for Hanyan to have this thought.
"I remember!" Lin Rui suddenly slapped his head, thinking how could he forget about it.
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, he didn't sell it, and said that a ring was set up in the city yesterday, and I heard that it was built tonight for the competition.
"What competition?" Han Yan asked.
Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "The Festival of Lights is a poem!" ”
Han Yan looked at Xu Shaolin and asked him, "What do you think?" ”
"If there are many people and there are people to fight, it is not necessarily whether it is a poem or a sword." Xu Shaolin's eyes narrowed.
Everyone nodded, and Gu Qingyan smiled lightly behind the screen, these people actually know what they know, but they are afraid that sometimes if they think too much, they will have concerns.
The water is already boiling, and a pair of jade hands first scoop out a scoop of water in the kettle, and then take a bamboo basket and stir it in the boiling water while putting in the prepared tea.
"You were in the city yesterday, and you hid it from us for something." Han Yan asked.
Baili Mo said: "I met a person on the way here, and I spent money to buy my life, and we took it, and you don't know that girl's style of doing things, so I can only hide it from you first." ”
As soon as he raised his chin and pointed to Gu Qingyan, several people turned their heads to look behind the screen, the screen was hazy, only the figures of two girls were revealed, one raised his hand to scoop water, and poured the water into the container, and the other handed the bowl with a low hand.
Someone entered the warm pavilion and broke the temporary beauty: "Young master, someone at the door sent a sword, let it be handed over to the fourth girl." ”
As he spoke, this junior disciple presented the sword with both hands, which was obviously the sword that belonged to the white crane.
Hearing the mention of Gu Qingyan, Han Yan glanced at the back of the screen, and then asked, "Who sent it?" ”
"It's a prime of life, and I already have a junior brother with me."
"Beiming." Gu Qingyan's voice came, and Beiming came in from outside the door, took the sword of the white crane, and stood on the side of the screen.
When he pulled out his sword, the dried blood became a pattern, like plum blossoms and raindrops, and there seemed to be some inconspicuous marks near the hilt.
Beiming closed his sword: "Master, it's gone." ”
At this time, the water in the pot was rippling, and the sound of churning came into everyone's ears, Gu Qingyan was about to pour the scoop of water he had taken out before into it again, when he heard Beiming's words, his hand paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth were hooked on one side. Then he added the ladle of water, stopping the boiling in the pot.
"Order Holly, send one of the twelve people to the bamboo forest in seven days to confirm the situation of Qi Gongzi and bury him with his apprentice Bai He."
Gu Qingyan poured a cup of tea, no more, no less, just seven points full, walked out from behind the screen with Su Tanxue, glanced at Beiming, and handed the tea to the table with both hands.
"This sword..."Gu Qingyan, took the sword, and turned to Lin Rui, "It's a good sword, but I can't give full play to its value if I leave it, the Sword Pavilion of the villa doesn't know if I can have subordinates, and I also teased Senior Brother Linrui's apology." ”
Lin Rui looked at Han Yan and saw that Han Yan nodded, so he went to pick up the sword with both hands and accepted it.
Gu Qingyan turned around and wanted to go back behind the screen, but she heard Baili Mo ask her, "Why did this sword come back again?" ”
Gu Qingyan returned to the screen and sat down with his sleeves brushed: "Eighty percent of him wants to pay me for the medicine." ”
The breezy words were light, and the water that was ready for the second course of tea Gu Qingyan lowered his head slightly, and his eyes were attached to a layer of coldness.
The time-sensitive medicine on the hilt of the sword is a choice she gave to Qi Gongzi, and there is no one before and after that, but fortunately, the green mountains and green waters can be companions, and no one will bother them.
Death, but with the years turning into white bones, a pinch of loess, return to dust, reincarnation, can also be liberated.
If you choose one of the two, you have their own natural methods, and Qi Gongzi still chose the fastest relief after all, and the sword that was given back seemed to bring Gu Qingyan's last words to Qi Gongzi.
"When there is nothing left to worry about in the world, and there is no more desire in the heart, everything will come to an end."
Later, when he said anything in the warm pavilion, Gu Qingyan didn't listen to it, as if he had escaped from the world, he only cooked and added tea.
