Chapter 29: Wandering the World
Zhen Ye used bamboo poles to make four bamboo wine glasses, six small bamboo bowls, several bamboo tubes for wine, and a fresh and simple bamboo kettle, in addition, he even made a bamboo doll, which is very cute.
Ji Yue couldn't help but be stunned when she saw these handmade bamboo products made by Zhen Ye, and secretly thought in her heart: "This god in the heavenly realm is really powerful, His Highness knows everything, and his heart is as careful as hair, although these two highnesses seem to have ten fingers that do not touch the spring water, but they are so ingenious, no wonder they can be immortals in the Nine Heavens, I can only be a little goblin in Qingqiu, or a little goblin who has achieved nothing, alas, this is the gap!" Yuexin saw Ji Yue standing on the side and looking at Zhen Ye fixedly, so she slapped Ji Yue coldly, and made a grimace at Ji Yue, Ji Yue was slapped by Yue Xin, startled, and when she saw Yue Xin making a face, she also stuck out her tongue, wrinkled her face in return, and Yue Xin laughed and said, "Hey, it's ugly!" Ji Yue stepped forward to catch up with Yuexin, chased to the swing, Yuexin jumped up, and said happily: "Ji Yue, come to play on the swing, you come and push me!" The two of them laughed and played on the swing.
Lan Qing sat in the pavilion, already boiling tea, leisurely, while pouring himself a drink, while enjoying the scenery and the joy of frolic, Jiyue.
Zhen Ye was busy and sat down, and Lan Qing poured tea for Zhen Ye. Zhen Ye saw that Lan Qing was plain white and unstained, and he couldn't help but feel an indescribable anger in his heart, so he glanced at Lan Qing and said: "I'm busy there with smoke in my throat, but the hall is so leisurely!" Lan Qing knew that Zhen Ye was angry with him when he heard Zhen Ye's tone, so he pursed his lips and smiled: "Well, I know that you have worked hard, so I am waiting for you to boil tea, drink some tea to quench your thirst!" Zhen Ye was a little embarrassed, but he also unceremoniously took the tea and drank it all, and then pushed the cup in front of Lan Qing to signal, Lan Qing shook his head with a smile, and quickly poured him another cup of tea, Zhen Ye drank it all again, and drank five or six cups in one go, Zhen Ye said with confidence in the teacup in his hand: "I'm really thirsty!" Lan Qing praised Zhen Ye and said, "Zhen Ye, I can't see that you still make these objects!" Zhen Ye said with a smile: "It's nothing, when marching and fighting, there are no material conditions to talk about, many times it is based on local materials, but it is just basic survival!" Lan Qing looked at Zhen Ye's indifferent appearance and felt very sorry for him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone in the world is good for immortals, but in fact, immortals are just less of a livelihood!" ”
"Brother Lanqing, Ye Zi, it turns out that you are all hiding here and starting to drink tea! I'm so thirsty, can you pour me a cup too? Yuexin and Jiyue also ran to the pavilion, as soon as they entered, Yuexin sat down next to Zhenye, she didn't arrive yet, she shouted, Lan Qing and Zhenye looked at Yuexin with a smile, Yuexin because she had just finished swinging, it was considered a exercise, this time her face was red and fluttering, the corners of her forehead and the tip of her nose were also slightly covered with beads of sweat, the fingers of both hands were together, fanning herself like a fan, Lan Qing got two cups of tea, Yuexin picked it up and drank it with her neck up, put the cup down again, and pushed it in front of Lan Qing, Lan Qing poured another cup for Yuexin, At this time, Ji Yue only picked up the first cup of tea, and she hadn't finished it yet!
Yuexin drank three cups of tea in a row before she stopped and said, "Okay, I'm not thirsty now!" Lan Qing looked at Yue Xin and said, "It's still early at this time, why don't we go to the market for a stroll?" Yue Xin listened and said excitedly: "That's great! I've wanted to go for a long time! Zhen Ye glanced at Yuexin sideways and said, "It's just that there is something wrong with the outfits of the two of you!" Lan Qing also bowed his head and said: "It's really inappropriate!" Yuexin looked at what she was wearing, and then looked Ji Yue up and down and asked Lan Qing and Zhenye strangely: "What's wrong with our outfit!" Zhen Ye smiled and said: "In this world, women still have a lot of inconveniences, and you should still dress up as men!" A look of anticipation flashed in Yuexin's eyes and said, "Well, this proposal is good!" We're going to transform! After Yuexin's disguise, she was dressed in a light cyan robe, with a wide belt embroidered with auspicious clouds in light cyan at her waist, six boots on her feet, a jade fracture fan with a jade butterfly pendant, her hair was black and shiny hanging down behind her head, her face was white and delicate, and she had the atmosphere of an elegant scholar in a rich family, and Ji Yue disguised herself as a scholar, combing her hair in a double bun, a gray and yellow cardigan, and black boots on a white background, but she looked immature and cute.
Lan Qing and Zhen Ye looked at the two of them, and Lan Qing groaned: "Well, this dress is there, but it still lacks a title." Yuexin muttered, "We have names!" Zhen Ye smiled: "How can any man call your name!" Yuexin said bitterly: "Then call Yuelai!" Zhen Ye burst into laughter: "Yuexin, you think you are an inn!" Yuexin glanced at Zhen Ye and said, "But I don't know how to choose a name!" Lan Qing looked at Yue Xin and said, "It's good to call Yan Shen Gongzi!" Yuexin thought that she wouldn't take a name anyway, Yan Shen was also good, and it was also the name taken by Lan Qing, which was very good, and she recognized in her heart at the moment: Yan Shen will be Yan Shen!
It's just a title. He said, "Yan Shen? Well, it's pretty good. Later, he asked, "What about Ji Yue?" Zhen Ye looked at Yue Xin and said: "Ji Yue is dressed as a scholar, and it doesn't matter if she has a name, it's better to be called Xiao Yue!" ”
"Satsuki?" Ji Yue heard it and repeated,
"That's what my mother called me."
"It's the overstep." Zhen Ye said, and after listening to it, Yue Xin muttered in a funny whisper, "It's not the same." Zhen Ye glanced at Yuexin when he heard it, and Yuexin was so frightened that she quickly shut up.
The four of them finished tidying up, and when they were about to go to the market, a bearded man with white eyebrows, a round face, round eyes, a round nose, and because he was short and fat, an old man with a round figure was holding a wooden staff taller than him, wearing an earthy yellow shirt, suddenly came out of the ground, appeared in front of them, and after seeing Zhen Ye and Lan Qing, he hurriedly said: "I don't know His Highness the Fire God, His Royal Highness the Night God is coming, the little god sees that he is late, he should be punished, he should be punished!" When the old man of the land saw Zhen Ye, Lan Qing grinned flatteringly, but when he smiled, the round eyes narrowed into a line, but the round nose seemed to sink into the middle of the face, and the facial features were all gathered in the center of the face, but the cheeks bulged up like balloons, and the appearance was very funny. I saw that Zhen Ye glanced at the land prince majestically and said: "Land, this Yan Shen Gongzi is a friend of His Royal Highness and the Night God Palace, and that is his scholar Xiao Yue, he wants to disturb you in this treasure land for a few days, and His Royal Highness will lend you this precious land to my two friends to live in, okay?" The old man of this land still frowned and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness of the Fire God can torture the little god, you two can come to the little god, the little god thinks that he is fortunate to have three lives, and this land is also full of splendor!" Young Master Yan Shen, you two can live as long as you want. Yuexin thought with some disgust in her heart: "How can this land old man also be a person who tends to be inflammatory!" Zhen Ye said: "Land, you have to take good care of the two of them." The old man of the land quickly replied with a respectful face: "That is nature, since they are friends of His Royal Highness and Second Highness, the land must do its best to take care of them." Besides, the little god also has to thank this Yan Shen Gongzi, who can let the little god see the handsome and plump appearance of the Night God Hall and the Second Highness of the Fire God. Yuexin secretly glanced at Lan Qing, and saw that he was expressionless, and Zhen Ye was also expressionless, only to hear Zhen Ye say to the old man of the land: "Land, you retreat first!" If anything, His Highness will call you! The land said, "Yes." He jumped off and was no longer in the ground.
Yuexin and Ji Yue were curious to see the place where the land disappeared, and they also jumped a few times, Lan Qing and Zhen Ye shook their heads when they saw this, put their hands behind their backs, turned around and left, Yuexin and Ji Yue also hurriedly followed.
As soon as these four people walked towards the market, they almost didn't cause a sensation, and the people in the whole market were judging the character of the four of them, and the strong men squinted their eyes and said in a rough voice: "You look as weak as a little chicken, what kind of face is swaggering through the market!" Some echoed and said: "It's useless to be a scholar, look at the four of them like that, I'm afraid the wind will fall!" But I still can't stand the general public's perception of appearance, the big girls who cover their faces with light veils and answer shyly, and the bold young women deliberately pass by them, throwing flattering eyes, or deliberately leaving sachets, jewelry and the like, Yuexin and Jiyue are relatively simple, whenever something is missing, they will inevitably pick it up and return it with a smile on their faces, provoking a group of women to follow quietly from far or near.
Not only tailgating but also whispering,
"Oh, look at the man in Tsing Yi, although his physique is thinner, but his appearance is more handsome and delicate than that of a woman! Also gentle and polite. ”
"I prefer the purple dress, not only tall and mighty, but also sunny and handsome, you look at his eyes, so seductive!"
"It's still the one in the white shirt that has more charm! I feel fairy, graceful, and proud! Along the way, the sound of this discussion was endless, Zhen Ye heard these buzzing discussions in his ears, and the fire was rising, Lan Qing felt that Zhen Ye was wrong, so he proposed: "Let's find a teahouse to sit in?" Walking down the street like this seems a bit ostentatious. Zhen Ye looked at Lan Qing and said angrily: "I hope this proposal of yours will be a good suggestion." Although Zhen Ye hated this kind of market atmosphere, but Yue Xin and Ji Yue were excited, the two of them looked left and right, everything in this world was new to them, and when they heard that Lan Qing was going to take them to the teahouse, they were all very supportive, Zhen Ye saw that Yue Xin was so happy, so he had to put away the unhappiness in his heart, and reluctantly followed them to the teahouse.
When I went to the private room on the second floor of the teahouse, I found that the window in this private room turned out to be a large equilateral hexagonal window frame, and when I looked at the past, there was a well-decorated second-story pavilion, and the second floor of the pavilion was actually a small stage.
A narrow river separates the teahouse from the pavilion. The river goes out of the city and joins the river in half a circle around the pavilion, and these teahouses and shops are crowded around the water and built together, all facing an open window on the side of the pavilion, facing the pavilion, this design should be for the convenience of watching the play and listening to the singing.
At this time, there were two graceful women and a man in a dark robe in his fifties in the center of the pavilion, these four people observed curiously, wanting to see what kind of play was singing, but they saw the two young women sitting side by side in the center of the pavilion, holding the pipa, tuning the piano, and began to sing while playing the pipa, while the man in the long shirt sat on the side and pulled the erhu, interjecting and playing the department.
The voices of the two women are light and gentle, such as a hundred turns of spring warblers, intoxicated, Wu Nong's soft words, eloquent, strings and zither, very pleasant, the man is funny, and he is good at telling stories in seconds.
The cooperation is also just right; At the end of the song, the three of them took a curtain call, Lan Qing, Zhen Ye, Yuexin and Ji Yue still felt that it was an aftermath.
There were shouts of applause one after another, and the tea guests in the teahouse threw some broken silver and gifts on the pavilion.
Yuexin looked at Lan Qing and Zhen Ye and asked, "What are we going to give them?" Lan Qing smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, spread out his palm, and it turned out to be a little loose silver, and Yue Xin grabbed it and threw it towards the pavilion.
Lan Qing said: "If you like it, you will give it to the owner of the teahouse for a while, and they will give it to the person who plays and sings." Yue Xin happily said: "Okay! They sing so well, I want to hear it! ”
