Chapter 140: The Study
"Morning, everyone!"
A crisp child's voice broke the moment of silence that the adults fell into because they brought up the sentimental past, and it was the two little girls "Little Tail" and Shang Wu who also came to the front hall for breakfast.
So many things happened last night, but the snooze "little tail" they didn't know anything, Shang Wu also invited her to spend the night together, just care about the good landlord's friendship, sisterhood, the two little mouths just slept together in bed before chatting about some interesting things, and they slept together beautifully, until this time, the servant knocked on the door, this has just been freshened up, spirited, fresh and fresh like two budding lotus, a pink, a bean green walked over.
"Morning!" When Steward Chang saw these two little girls coming, he also changed his color to a very amiable appearance, and replied, "Hurry up and invite the two girls to come to the table together!" Breakfast is ready! ”
Everyone sat down in order and enjoyed the breakfast of Laofu, although it was just a variety of pastries, soybean rice, lily osmanthus millet porridge, cold dishes and other home-cooked dishes, but all the intentions, not only the presentation is exquisite, but also the taste is fresh; In addition, there are also newly picked citrus, which is Yanzi's favorite to bring to Ji Yu and Ji Ling to eat, although the number of times is very small, but in the eyes of the two brothers and sisters, it is basically the New Year.
As the host, the old lady and Li Dan accompanied the whole process and had breakfast with the guests, but during the banquet, they did not find Dr. Shang Rong.
During the banquet, the most respectable elderly person is not allowed to move the dishes and chopsticks before eating first. The little lady noticed this, and just before the formal meal, she asked the old lady: "Didn't you see Dr. Shangrong come to eat?" ”
"It's like that, Dr. Shang was greedy for a cup last night, he was too old to drink, he hadn't been happy like this for many years, it was really difficult to get up, I told people not to disturb, so that he could have more time to rest, so that he could recover his strength, everyone didn't have to mind, just eat first! It doesn't matter! ”
What the old lady said, everyone guessed and guessed, a handful of years, staying up late with the children, playing crazy, and drinking, at this time, how can you get up!
Everyone eats quietly, abiding by the rules of "eating without words", but while eating, while listening to the crisp chirping of birds on the eaves, coupled with the aroma of osmanthus in the air that is constantly blown by the breeze, the morning light spills into the hall, reflected to the roof beam patio, and reflected on the dining table many times, to each delicacy, have added a light filter, so that red, white, black, green, yellow colors, more bright and attractive, raised everyone's appetite, the so-called "beautiful and delicious", here, it can be said that "the food is beautiful", It's really a feeling: enjoy!
For such a formal breakfast, Xiang Zhong is also the first time to encounter it, and it can be regarded as having seen it, so it can be regarded as knowing that he did not say a word during the whole meal, but just tasted it attentively, which turned out to be not a difficult thing.
It is rare to be the "little tail" who loves to talk and grab his mouth, and he can only eat and drink throughout the whole process, and he also maintains the "silent mode".
The food, the beautiful scenery, the hospitality of the old mansion, so meticulous and thoughtful that it is impossible to fault anything.
"Mrs. Xiang, can Yiga allow the two sons to talk about the study?"
Li Er saw that everyone had finished eating, so he solemnly walked up to the little lady Xiang and made a formal invitation to Xiang Zhong and Ji Yu, which was originally the real "topic" of this trip: playing tricks with masters.
"Naturally, Chong'er, Yu'er, there must be a lot of ink treasures in the study of the young man, you two should cherish this opportunity and learn more!"
Xiang smiled at the little lady and agreed, and told the two of them well.
In fact, what she should have told was the third child who was not invited.
"I'm going, I'm going! Brother Dan, I promise not to speak, not to move, just to watch you from the side, can I? Little Tail really didn't give up any opportunity to "make trouble", "Sister Zhongyou Shangwu, we promise never to disturb you!" Is it or not? ”
As she spoke, she also pulled Shang Wu's sleeve hard, so that Shang Wu had to help: "Tie it!" ”
"Okay, let's go together."
Li Dan had no choice but to agree, although he really didn't want to be the head of the kindergarten, but he believed that as long as they started talking about it, soon, these little things who were desperately mixing in would definitely not be able to listen to it and retreat by themselves.
Along the bluestone path outside the building, turn a few corners, pass through a small garden with lush bamboo, and see the plaque of "Reading Heart Zhai" hanging on the door eyebrow, you know that Li Dan's elegant and quiet study has arrived.
Entering the door, I saw that the house was very simple and quiet, except for the side of the wall where the doors and windows were located, all the positions were full of bookshelves, and the files and classics were neat and tidy, spotless, and at first glance it was the study room of the people who loved books.
Facing the main entrance, where the sun is shining, a low table lies in the middle, and the seat behind it is still a book; On the left wall hangs a guqin. There was nothing but an incense burner, a few wisps of smoke wafting out, and a few necessary stationery.
On both sides, there have been servants pre-laid with six guest seats, which can be used on the side of Xiang Zhong, Ji Yu, and Shang You; On the side of the "little tail" and Shangwu, because the study is small, there is no guest table, because there is no need to eat, and it happens to be a pure "Qing Tan".
"Thank you for coming to the 'Reading Heart Zhai', this is my practice room, there are few people, and I see the ugly and cold, and I ask you to forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality!"
Li Dan opened with a real "cold noise", and it is indeed because this study is less sunlight than the front hall, at this time, it is still a somewhat cold autumn morning, he is used to it, but if the guests come in and sit for a long time, I am afraid that the temperature will be too low.
"Senior brother is polite! It doesn't matter! Cool head, the most important thing is to be so cold! ”
Ji Yu got up early, the circle around the lake also ran, the sword was also practiced, and a stomach of food was eaten, at this time, all the spirit and spirit, have reached the peak, it is the whole body activities opened, can meet the various tests that can consume their own vigorous energy, so, the first to answer.
"Huh? Brother Yu, what would you call Brother Dan like that? ”
After saying that he only looked at the "little tail" who didn't speak, he let out the doubts with one mouth, and as soon as he spoke, he remembered his "guarantee", and immediately covered his mouth with his hand, and coquettishly gave Li Danfei a coquettish look, saying, "I know my mistake!" ”
"It's like this, I went to the lake this morning, and met the swordsmanship teacher of Dan Gongzi, Master Chang Zong, that is, the housekeeper of the old mansion, is dancing with a sword, and the skills are exquisite, I like it and forget it, and finally he agreed to accept me as an apprentice, so I will become a brother with Dan Gongzi!"
Ji Yu explained everything to her sister, but she didn't need Li Dan to explain too much.
