Qingyun Dao held his long beard in his hand, and his heart said that he didn't need to talk about the old feelings, but he could be less verbose, so he smiled and said: "We must have seen it, but it was fifteen years ago, I'm afraid you can't remember it, so you don't need to mention it again." After speaking, he turned his head and asked Li Kejing: "Dare to ask this young lady, but is the second master's daughter?" ”

Li Keding didn't understand the Taoist chief's intention, out of the instinct to protect his sister Kejing, he was always vigilant in his heart, and without waiting for Kejing to answer, he preemptively said to the Taoist chief: "Yes, she is my second uncle's daughter, I don't know what you can advise." ”

"I can't talk about advice, but now I see that Miss Li is really a fairy in the world, and her name is well deserved." The Taoist chief said, jumped off the donkey, untied a burden, gently put it on the ground, and after opening it, he took out a multicolored lid jar from it, and the picture on the jar was Zhang Tianshi's five poisons; Then he took out a small bag from his arms, opened the three layers inside and the three layers outside, but it was a azure brush, and said to Li Kejing: "Since we met by fate, these two things will be handed over to Miss Li here." After speaking, he put the small jar and the burden aside, picked up the pen and washed it with both hands, walked to Li Kejing's horse, and handed it over. Li Keding and Li Kexiu saw the Taoist chief walking towards Li Kejing, and immediately dismounted, one left and one right, standing on both sides of Li Kejing.

Li Kejing glanced at the wash, and knew that it was not an ordinary thing, so he didn't dare to reach out to take it, but said: "Dao Chief, when we meet for the first time, how can we ask you for such a valuable gift." The Taoist chief laughed and said, "Miss Li has a good eye, so this object should be given to Miss Li." Seeing that Kejing was still hesitating, he turned around and came to Li Keding and said, "Poor Dao just said that we have met before, but you don't remember." Poor Dao has some connections with you, and this time I made a special trip to Hejian because of this washing. I wanted to go to the house to see Miss Li, but I happened to meet here, which shows that Poor Dao and Miss Li are fated. What's more, when I saw Miss Li today, I believed that there was another otherworldly beauty in the world, and it was worth the trip. With that, he gently placed the wash on the snow next to the small jar. The Taoist chief stood up, took out something from his arms, and said to Li Keding: "I heard that Li Gongzi is studying at Mingren University in Beijing, and when he returns to Beijing, help Poor Dao bring this to your classmate Liu Zhisi." ”

When Li Keding heard Liu Zhisi's name again, he couldn't help but feel shocked, but he felt so warm, and silently called her name, like a warm current flowing in his heart. Li Keding thought: 'I brought something to Liu Zhisi for the Taoist chief, and Liu Zhisi will not be disgusted with me because of this. Stretched out his hand to take it, looked down and saw that there was a layer of oilcloth outside, holding it in his hand, it seemed to be a book, and Li Keding said, "Don't worry, Dao Chief, I will definitely bring it to Miss Liu." ”

The Taoist nodded with a smile, looked at the three of them again, and then mounted the donkey and turned around. The three of them listened to him chant in a long voice: "When the rain passes through the sky and the clouds break, the color of the future will be." Then, only the sound of the bell was crisp, getting lighter and lighter, and gradually disappeared into the vast white with the figure.

Seeing that the Taoist chief had already walked away, Ke Jing dismounted and came to Li Keding's side. Li Keding was just about to pick up the pen and wash it carefully, Li Kejing said: "Be careful, this is a priceless treasure." ”

Li Keding doesn't know porcelain, but his sister Kejing is a big connoisseur, because the second aunt is the young lady of the Gaoyang Tao family, the Tao family from the Kangxi Dynasty to the Jiaqing Dynasty, from generation to generation there are people who serve as painters in the imperial kiln factory, and the family has a lot of collections. When the second aunt got married, the things she brought with her were hidden in three rooms.

Li Kejing has been good at painting since she was a child, prefers porcelain, has a collection of fine works from the past dynasties in her hands, and has a unique eye for discernment, even her master Puyun and her second aunt are inferior to her. I heard her say that it is a priceless treasure, where do you dare to touch it, for fear of accidentally breaking it. Li Kejing looked at the pen wash for a while, then looked up at the sky, looked around, and after two or three times, he carefully picked up the pen and washed his hands, and looked at both sides carefully, with a look of joy on his face.

At this time, Li Kexiu picked up the small jar left by the Taoist chief alone and took a cursory look, opened the lid casually, and saw that the mouth of the can was relatively open, so he put the lid aside and began to fill it with snow, which was quite enjoyable.

When Li Kejing saw the pen wash and wrapped it carefully, put it in his arms, tightened the tie around his waist, touched it with his hand, and felt that it was foolproof, so he was relieved to see the small jar, but when he saw that the second brother Li Kejing was using it to fill snow, he couldn't help but laugh and criticize him: "Stinky boy, put it down quickly, this is the thing of the Mingguan kiln." ”

After Li Kexiu heard what she said, he didn't dare to disobey and put it away gently.

Li Kejing took it with both hands, glanced at it, wrapped it up, handed it to Li Keding, and asked him to help tie it to her saddle.

This toss, the time is not early, in the winter, it will be dark for a while, and the three of them will drive back home. Because he was curious about what the Taoist chief had given Kejing, Li Keding also came with her, and when she put the two things on the table, Li Keding dared to stretch out his hands, first carefully picked up the pen and washed, looked and looked, and did not see anything special; Looking at the small jar again, I saw that although the demeanor of the characters painted on it was good, the appearance seemed to be alike, and I thought, what's so good about this? I didn't think about it, and saw that Li Kejing watched it repeatedly, indulged in it, couldn't bear to disturb her, and secretly laughed at her stupidity in her heart, so she went back to the room by herself.

Thinking about his date with Lu Wan, early the day after tomorrow, Li Keding finished washing, ate some breakfast indiscriminately, and deliberately put on a long shirt brought back from Tianjin, with a yellow fox fur coat on the outside. Just after half past eight, he walked out to the Lu family, and the two families were only separated by two miles of road, and they arrived in ten minutes. Li Keding looked at the pocket watch in his hand, there was still a quarter of an hour left, pacing back and forth in front of the gate of the Lu family, looking sideways, the red gate of the Lu family was magnificent, two large tin rings fell on the head of the black paint, the houses in the courtyard were connected, and the pressure was not visible, and a pair of stone lions at the door seemed to be facing him with teeth and claws; Looking at the shopkeeper's angry eyebrows again, he felt as if he was about to steal the tender cucumbers in someone's own field, and his heart became more and more empty.

Seeing that nine o'clock had passed, and Lu Wan had not yet come out, Li Keding couldn't help but be anxious, raised his head and looked into the gate, the tall blue brick and blue tile houses looked quite imposing against the background of the cypress on both sides, although people were constantly coming and going, only Lu Wan's shadow was missing. Just when he was reading all the sails and looking forward to waiting for someone to come, he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him softly, turned his head and looked, not far from the side of the street, Lu Wan was sideways and beckoned to him with a smile. Finally waiting for the beautiful woman to come, Li Keding hurriedly stepped forward, but Lu Wan turned his head and walked in front, Keding followed closely, and the two walked west from the gate of the Lu family one after the other. After walking for about two or three hundred meters, Lu Wan stood still, turned around and explained to Li Keding: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to make you wait." I just sneaked out of the corner gate, and my grandmother specially instructed me to ask someone to accompany me when I came out, and I didn't dare to go through the door. Li Keding knew that there was an old lady in charge, and he must be unable to help himself, so he said: "When I come back in the future, I will go directly to the corner gate and wait for you." Lu Wan didn't say anything, but said in a long voice: "Don't delay here, let's leave quickly." ”
