Chapter 65: A ...... old friend

His eyes were slender, the inner corners of his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's beak, and his eyes reflected candles, as if they were black and golden.

Under the raised bridge of the nose, the lips are straight, as if holding a sharp blade.

When Wei Xingzhen didn't speak, his brows were slightly raised, but his eyes were half-open.

It seems to be a little careless, and a little unapproachable.

In the dim night light, Wei Xingzhen's cheeks had faded to the red color of dusk, perhaps because of this reason, that kind of youthfulness was no longer to be found.

What is so strange about a man who is so good-looking, and there are one or two confidants around him who are willing to go to the trouble for him?

Wei Xingzhen also felt Feng Yan's gaze, but as soon as he raised his eyes and wanted to ask Feng Yan what he was looking at, Feng Yan had already withdrawn his gaze.

After a while, Feng Yan suddenly spoke, "Where is Lord Wei from?" ”

"Luoyang."

"Have you been in Luoyang since you were a child?"

"When I was young, I was on Daizong Mountain." Although it was a little strange why Feng Yan suddenly asked this, Wei Xingzhen still answered the question positively, "My adoptive father was a woodcutter in the mountains and passed away very early. Soon after he passed away, I was recruited into Si Tiantai because I was familiar with the situation in the mountains, and Ah Yan should know everything about the future. ”

"That's right," Feng Yan was a little surprised, "So before being recruited into Wenyuan Pavilion by His Majesty, Lord Wei had been living near Daizong Mountain?" ”

Wei Xingzhen nodded.

"No wonder," Feng Yan took a light breath, her expression thoughtful, "I said that I always feel that Lord Wei is somewhat familiar, maybe, we have indeed met for a long time." ”

Wei Xingzhen didn't say anything.

"I seem to have told Master Wei just now that when I was a child, whenever it was hot, my mother would gather the whole family from Chang'an to Daizong Mountain to escape the summer...... At that time, I often sneaked away to Si Tiantai alone, maybe I accidentally met with Master Wei once. ”

Wei Xingzhen was noncommittal, and said after a long time, "I have no impression." ”

Feng Yan smiled, "I'm just guessing." ”

Wei Xingzhen said softly, "But Daizong Mountain is indeed a good place to escape the heat. ”

"Yes," Feng Yan looked gentle when she remembered the past, "Even in the summer of the years when there was a great drought in Guanzhong, it often rained on Daizong Mountain. ”

This sentence suddenly aroused a bit of tenderness in Wei Xingzhen's eyes, and he was just about to answer, when he heard Feng Yan ask, "Then Lord Wei is in the mountains, is there a childhood sweetheart who grew up together?" ”

Wei Xingzhen frowned, "...... No. ”

"Is there any girl who obviously loves adults with all her heart, but fails to capture the hearts of adults?"

"Not either."

Feng Yan was a little amused, "Why did Master Wei answer so quickly." ”

I'm not looking into your post......

"Not really." Wei Xingzhen's expression was indifferent, "The mountains are inaccessible, and most of the officials in Si Tiantai are men, and when they enter Wenyuan Pavilion, there are even fewer female officials, and even if there are, there are many old women in their sixties, where can I find a girl who loves me wholeheartedly." ”

Feng Yan thought about it for a while, and said the same, but ......

"None of them?"

Wei Xingzhen replied solemnly, "No, did Ah Yan think of that dryad again?" ”

"Hmm." Feng Yan nodded.

"If the dryad really came for me, why didn't it ever appear before me? It can be seen that it mentioned me, probably just a pretense, Ah Yan doesn't have to think about it. ”

Feng Yan replied in a low voice, noncommittal.

At this point, she clearly had a different opinion, but she just nodded and didn't answer again.

The minds of girls, sometimes that's it.

If you like someone, of course, you want to be good to him, but if you like it so much, you don't dare to let the other party know about it.

However, if Wei Xingzhen doesn't have any impression of herself, it is really a little unreasonable.

Or, Wei Xingzhen was so sluggish that he missed all the clues......

Or, he's lying.

As he spoke, he went to bring up an azure ice porcelain bowl.

Although she was holding the lid of the bowl, Feng Yan still smelled a light fragrance of flowers, and she looked at it with some concern, "...... This is? ”

He bowed extravagantly and said, "After my wife eats, she can use this soup to get rid of the aftertaste in her mouth." ”

Feng Yan opened the lid of the bowl and only felt that the soup was extremely fragrant.

I thought it was jasmine tea, but when I tasted it, it was only a faint sweetness, and there was no bitterness of tea.

"It's not flower tea......

"After all, it's night, how can I let my wife drink tea again?" He replied with a smile, "This is jasmine soup, which is a thick white honey that is taken on weekdays, applied to the center of the bowl, and carefully smeared to prevent it from hanging aside." Prepare an empty bowl every morning and evening, pick jasmine and place it in it, and then cover the honey bowl on top. When you want to drink, you take the honey bowl and pour the soup, and the water has the fragrance of jasmine. ”

Feng Yan listened attentively, and then looked at the soup bowl in her hand, and couldn't help but admire, "It's really elegant...... Is this the solution you came up with? ”

Go to laugh, "Mrs. Falsehood, I only know the things on the stove that need to be controlled, where can I come up with this." These tea ideas were all taught to me by adults. ”

Feng Yan looked at Wei Xingzhen, "Lord Wei is elegant, and a small bowl of tea soup is also so unique." ”

"It's not just this bowl," it's quite self-satisfying to go to luxury, "autumn osmanthus, early plum in the wax moon, as well as young cypress leaves, orange leaves, rice leaves, rafters, mint, wild roses...... The adults in my family have their own ways of steaming the flower dew. Today's soup is not particular, it uses ordinary well water, and if my wife likes it, she can taste the flower dew we brewed with the freshly stored lake water in two days. ”

Feng Yan nodded, "Do you also make a special trip to collect water on weekdays?" ”

"Of course!"

"Where did you get it? What method is used? ”

Qu Lu's expression became serious, "This is very particular, we usually set off in the middle of the night, bring some jars and large urns, and set off from Luoshui in a small boat."

"When you get a few feet away in the middle of the lake, you can stop the boat. Then use the penny on the boat to stretch into the water, stir the water for a hundred times, stir up the whirlpool, immediately stop the can to get water, and then use the canopy to cover the mouth of the can, so that the bottles and cans are full, and you can take them home. ”

Feng Yan smiled, "Everyone else goes to the mountain stream to get mountain spring water, but you take lake water?" ”

"Don't worry, madam, I'm not done. There's something else to come.

"When I got home, I let the water sit for three days, and then I poured it into an empty jar, and poured only seven or eight cents of water into each jar, and skimmed off the rest.

"Let it stand like this, take the water three times, skim the white mud and river sand in the water, and then pour it into a pot and boil it thoroughly, and then you can seal it into a jar with rock sugar.

"In this way, after waiting for a month or two, the water can be used to make sencha soup, and the mountain spring is delicious, but it is not suitable for making this flower dew."

Feng Yan looked at Wei Xingzhen, "...... This is also Lord Wei's method? ”

Wei Xingzhen shook her head and said, "No, this is also what others taught me." ”

"Who is it?"

Wei Xingzhen looked at Feng Yan for a long time before answering.

"One...... Old friend. ”
