Chapter 52 52: The Prodigal Son Luo Yin
Drunkard Building.
Window table for two on the second floor.
A man in a white shirt and a black silk vest was sitting casually at the table. He looked to be about thirty years old, and his face was not whiteβperhaps the kind that had once been fair-skinned, as common to well-pampered people, but now it had been washed away by the wind and frost, and the whiteness was gone, and was replaced by a roughness between white and black.
He behaves casually, with a kind of self-discipline that sees through the face of the world. He will make people look at him for the first time and can't help but look at it a second time. At first glance, his face was a little rough, and at the second glance, his somewhat rough face was actually handsome, a strange handsomeness that seemed to have nothing to do with him and was born with it.
Charming handsome.
His name is Luo Yin. The net of heaven and earth, the hidden hidden. He was a prodigal son.
He is known as the prodigal son Luo Yin.
The prodigal son did not like to be restrained, and even his sword was a soft sword, wrapped around his waist.
Luo Yin held a chicken leg in his mouth, nibbled on it carelessly, took a bite of the chicken leg, and drank a sip of wine in the wine jar. He nibbled on the drumsticks slowly, but drank quickly. Seeing that a jar of wine is about to bottom.
"Hehe, I don't even drink wine." He muttered a sentence and took one last sip from his neck.
Strangely, apart from the chicken leg bone in his left hand and the wine jar in his right hand, there was only one plate on the dining table in front of him, and the plate was empty.
Dare to love this person, all you need is a chicken leg and a jar of wine.
The others didn't think much of him when they saw him like this. It's a bit commonplace.
At this time, a man and a woman came downstairs, the man was about forty years old, with a light complexion, thick eyebrows and a high nose, and his eyes were as calm as a deep pool; The woman is in her early twenties, with a smile in the corners of her eyes and a spring on her face, and she looks like a dignified and generous person.
The two of them went upstairs just in time to hear Luo Yin muttering "I don't drink wine". The woman pursed her lips and smiled, glanced at the middle-aged man together, the man understood, did not speak, and went straight up and sat next to Luo Yin.
The two asked for two meat, two vegetables and four dishes, and ordered a pot of good daughter red. The woman picked up the flask and poured a glass and put it in the man's hand.
"Daddy, how about you taste it, compared to the 'gentleman drunk' you brewed?"
"How old are you and naughty?" The man took a sip, and his mouth seemed to be blamed, but in fact it was full of pampering.
These two are Mei Qinghe and Mei Beard's father and daughter.
Previously, the father and daughter first went back to their hometown in Fuzhou on the eve of Qingming Festival, added a grave for Mei Fei's mother, and burned Qingming paper.
Mei Qinghe's parents are still alive, and when the old father saw that the only son he hadn't seen for many years finally came back, he burst into tears, jumping on crutches and scolding this unfilial son for coming back and doing something!
Mei Qinghe's old lady pulled the stubborn old man and asked, "Ah Qing is not up to you like this?!" Qing'er finally returned home, do you want to drive him away or what? You stubborn old man, Qing'er will die to show you if you scold her again! β
The old man stopped, wiped away his tears, and sighed.
The old lady couldn't see enough of Mei Fei's hand, and she was both heart and liver, and Mei Fei burst into tears.
I didn't have a mother since I was a child, and it's good to have a grandmother!
The old man saw that his unfilial son raised his granddaughter very well, and he looked at where it was pleasing to the eye, so he was happy. In the blink of an eye, sadness came from it, how has this rebel with his children lived all these years!
The Mei family is also a big family, so they can't support the two of you?
O iniquity!
Mei Qinghe knelt in front of the second elder and kowtowed to admit his mistake, with mixed feelings. His old father wanted to beat and scold him, jumping to his feet angrily, but he was ...... Can't jump up.
But he also has a last resort!
He'll be leaving in a few days. But looking at the old Gao Tang, he couldn't open his mouth!
In the end, Mei Fei became a villain and told her grandfather and grandmother that she would go to Jingzhou with her father in the near future.
"Good grandmother, my father and I promise to come back when we are done!" Mei Fu swore and said, "You think, for so many years, my father has only had this one wish, and he will not be willing to fulfill it." Now that the opportunity has come, can you bear to watch your father miss this opportunity and be depressed all day long? β
The old lady looked entangled, and her son knew it himself: just admit death!
Both dedicated and stubborn.
Sometimes the old lady is so angry that she can't wait to reincarnate him again!
The old lady is not an old fool. She took Mei Fei's hand and repeatedly instructed: "Go early and return early, be careful in everything, life is important, don't let your family worry!" β
The old man had a gloomy face, sulking on crutches.
Mei Fei walked over and grabbed his arm, coaxing him to be happy. After telling a few jokes and a long reassurance, the old man's face was a little pale.
β¦β¦
Mei Fei looked at the man next to him holding a chicken bone in his hand and gently knocking on the edge of the table, looking at the street outside the window condescendingly, and still looked like he was not ready to leave after eating and drinking, a little curious.
"Brother?" Mei Fei looked at him leisurely, a little curious, glanced at his father, and said, "I don't know if the little girl and her father have this honor to invite my brother to have a drink?" β
"Girl, is this called below?" Luo Yin pointed at himself with chicken bones.
"Exactly!"
Mei Qinghe nodded at him.
"Okay!" Luo Yin smiled and clenched his fists, "Under Luo Yin." What do you call them? β
Luo Yin sat over with a big grin and looked at Mei Qinghe. I looked at Mei Hair again.
"This is the father," Mei Fu said, "the little woman Mei Fu." β
Meiqing River: "Meiqing River." β
Luo Yin said: "It turned out to be Miss Mei, Brother Mei." β
Mei was crisp and frank, so she asked: "I just heard Your Excellency say 'wine without drinking'......"
Luo Yin heard her say this, and said in his heart, this woman is also straightforward and fast-talking, much stronger than ordinary men. He laughed and said, "The girl doesn't know, Luo Yin is good at wine but not overdrinking, and he never drinks too much in two jars a day!" β
To stay awake is to be sure to be alive.
"Interesting. I didn't expect Brother Luo to be such a self-disciplined person. β
Luo Yin: "Miss Mei has a refreshing heart, and it is rare not to lose her eyebrows!" β
Mei said: "Xu is by nature. I can't keep up with my father's composure. Daddy said I was more like Auntie. β
Mei Qinghe lost his wife at an early age, and more than ten years have passed and he has long accepted the facts. It is said that Mei Qinghe and his beloved wife are in love with each other, and his beloved wife has been in a slump for several years after he went. In terms of feelings, Mei Qinghe is infatuated, but he is not a person who drills the horns, although the death of his beloved wife is a thorn in his heart, he never shy away from mentioning his daughter's deceased wife.
Luo Yin heard Mei Fu mention A-Niang but suddenly smiled, one hand clenched the wine glass, the force was so great, the knuckles were white, and soon the wine flowed out of the palm, and the small wine glass was actually broken.
Mei Qinghe frowned slightly and looked at Luo Yin.
Mei Fei shouted loudly: "Brother Luo, you ......"
Luo Yin felt out of shape, the haze on his face dissipated, and then he showed a touch of self-deprecation: "The two of you are laughing!" After that, he lifted the wine jug on the table, took a few sips on his back, put down the wine jug, and laughed: "Good wine!" Joyfully! β
Seeing him like this, Mei Yan's face disappeared with a gloomy face, and she smiled: "What is this, my father's own 'gentleman drunk' is good!" β
Luo Yin: "Really? β
Mei Hair: "Seriously! β
Luo Yin: "Listening to the name of this wine is extraordinary!" Wouldn't it be a great honor to get to know the two of you? After that, he hugged his fists seriously and said, "I wonder if he can ask Brother Mei for a cup of 'gentleman drunk' when he sees Luo Yin again in the future?" β
Mei Qinghe: "It's easy to say! β
Fang Cai Luo Yin lost his temper and quickly returned to normal, Mei Qinghe understood as a person who came over. The reason why that name and title can't be mentioned must have hurt him deeply.
β¦β¦
Jingnan. A hidden courtyard.
A man in a gray robe entered the courtyard without a sound. The courtyard is large, planted with osmanthus and pomegranates, and there are a few grapes climbing up the courtyard wall on the west wall.
The people went all the way in, and finally saw an old man sitting under the grape trellis in the innermost courtyard. The old man is over the age of six, his temples are frosted, he has a half-foot beard, and he is cleaning a pair of white jade chess pieces. His ten fingers are slender and flexible, and every movement and stillness is indifferent and elegant, just looking at his fingers, you can't tell his age at all.
The person who came stood a few steps away, saluted respectfully, and said, "Your Excellency! β
The old man's fingers did not stop, still cleaning the chess pieces slowly and methodically, and after cleaning one, he wiped it clean and put it in a small black wooden jar, the layer of pitch black on the wooden jar was shining with a natural luster, which was very lovely.
"Found it?" The old man didn't raise his head, but raised his voice a little and asked.
"Yes!" The man said clearly: "At noon today, the son was eating wine in the drunkard building, and then at the invitation of a father and daughter at the adjacent table, the son had a few drinks with him. We had a great conversation."
The old man stopped what he was doing and thoughtfully said, "Oh? β
"The father and daughter's surname is Mei, and they are first acquaintances with their son! I just came to Kyoto a few days ago and stayed at the Feiyun Inn. β
The old man didn't say anything, picked up the chess pieces and continued to clean. After a while, he waved his hand and motioned for the man to stand down.
The man quietly walked out of the courtyard as if he had never come.
At this moment, a woman came out of the main room behind the old man.
Judging from her dress, she is tall and slender, and she will definitely be graceful when she walks.
Look at her face again, oh my! This woman has a beautiful face!
The skin is delicate, smooth and fair, and there is not even a single wrinkle on the flawless face.
She has a full forehead, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, bright eyes, a straight nose, and ruddy lips - the whole goose egg face makes people look like a spring breeze.
"One look at the city, and then look at the country." That's probably her.
No matter how you look at such a woman, she should be a stunner.
Undoubtedly!
Just one look at her can't help but make people guess her identity-
She must have been a fairy who accidentally got lost in the world, but she just didn't find a way back to heaven for the time being. Or, she is a goblin who specializes in staying in the world to bring disaster to the country and the people.
Otherwise, where in the world would there be such a stunning appearance?
This woman is completely unrecognizable of age.
But......
When she walked with her feet up, there was an indescribable stiffness.
I saw her stiffly, moving to the old man one by one, and her eyes revealed a strong and indescribable sadness!
"Jiang Bantu, isn't it Jing'er? Is there any news from my Jing'er? β
She asked eagerly in a hoarse voice.
