Chapter 10 Pick up a new fire
After saying goodbye that day, Yizhi ordered Xing'er to buy colorful silk threads, and worked all night, before the palace test, to make deer of different colors and give them to the brothers. It also ushered in the Cold Food Festival, where thousands of households banned fires, and women were not allowed to clean their faces and makeup, and they could only eat cold foods such as Zitui swallows, wheat cakes, and buttermilk cakes.
Yizhi devoted himself to fighting the fawn, and had no time to worry, and after a few days of busy work, he forgot a lot of things that scratched his heart.
I also thought that the skillful work and the wise worry, the incompetent have nothing to ask for, and the vegetable food is swimming, like a boat that is not tied. Whether it is joining the WTO or getting married, it is not something that can be achieved overnight. Instead of worrying about self-inflicted distress, it is better to be an idle cloud and wild crane, and you can still get a good mood if you don't do anything.
Thinking like this, I read and write every day, or do some needlework and embroidery, or play horses with apricots for fun, but I really feel depressed, and I don't leave the hospital, but only play in the atrium.
Remembering the frank temperament, the least like to worry about worry, and there is a foolishness, as long as you can eat what you like, Rao is no matter how difficult the knot can be alleviated, therefore, people who are familiar with her are not afraid of offending her.
In the past three days, there has been little work in the house, and Xing'er has been silly and happy all day long, and her mood with memories has been a little better. And because Wen Yanbo sent a lot of soup and tea boxes and soy soup that the tea house kitchen is good at, Yizhi's two meals a day are added with snacks, and Fansuo can always eat warm soup and porridge, and the cold food for three days will quickly pass.
On the fourth day after the Cold Food Festival, Yanfu ushered in a new fire from the imperial gift, and the fire ban really ended. Yizhi ordered Xing'er to wrap a set of spring clothes for her early, and just waited for the palace attendants to leave, so he couldn't wait for Li Ping to set up the carriage and go to Yutang Lane.
The first day after the ban is lifted, it is usually the most prosperous day for the business of all large and small bathhouses. Every year on the eve of the cold food, Yan Fu can receive many bathhouse merchants sent Accord coupons, memories of the cold, in the house bath always feel cold, so in winter, almost in the bathhouse bath, Accord coupons are especially useful for her.
When her carriage arrived at the bathhouse lane, Liu Xiuying was already waiting in front of a bathhouse called Baijia Perfume Shop, seeing that Yizhi rushed over, and went up to count her for a while, Yizhi knew that she had no intentions, and did not pay attention to her, the two walked hand in hand to Baijia Perfume Shop, just stepped into the lobby, only to feel a heat wave wrapping up, and after a while, the back was already sweating.
A receptionist greeted him, Yizhi showed the Accord coupon, the receptionist saw the special mark on the coupon, redoubled his hospitality, let the two wait, then went to the account cabinet and muttered for a while, took the one-inch-long Accord door wooden sign and led the two to the back of the hall with a smile.
Remembering and Liu Xiuying walked through the lobby with the reception, only to see the entire atrium shrouded in mist, as if placed in the void fairyland, carved beams and embroidered pillars looming in the mist, two hand-copying verandahs each lead to different places, the reception led the two to the verandah on the left, the two walked along the verandah for a while, and then entered a big house, the central hall is elegantly furnished, there are men and women wearing cool shirts or sitting or standing and waiting, the aisles on the left and right sides lead to the independent pavilion in the room.
The two walked to the right aisle with the host, walked for a while, and then stood in front of a door, and the hostess took a wooden sign to welcome the two into the door, and then withdrew. Xing'er and Erhua served the two sisters to take off their clothes and retreat to the next door to wash.
Yizhi and Xiuying, you squeaked me, I pushed you, frolicked for a while, and after each washed and bathed, I soaked my whole body in the bath.
Liu Xiuying fiddled with the blue bath soup with both hands, and suddenly mentioned the rumors she had heard recently, saying that there was a small family in the market, with a little land and mats, although they were not very rich, but their lives were quite passable. The daughter of that family married a poor man from Yiling a few years ago with most of the family business, and originally heard that the husband and wife were raising their eyebrows and getting along very well, but they divorced a few days ago. Remembering his curiosity, he asked.
Liu Xiuying said: "I heard that the man ate too much wine, was drunk, and was full of nonsense, and was stopped by his father-in-law, but not only did he not listen, but he also pointed to his father-in-law's nose and scolded him. ”
Yi Zhifeng smiled and said, "I'm curious, whether the woman wants to break up with him, or the woman's father forces the woman to separate." ”
Liu Xiuying pursed her lips and said, "I didn't inquire about this. ”
Yizhi turned over in the bath, she raised her two white and tender arms, stood on the edge of the bath, and said, "This is the key to the matter, why didn't you ask." Liu Xiuying wondered: "How is this the key to the matter?" ”
Yizhi smiled and said, "If it were you, your husband would scold your father, what do you think?" ”
Liu Xiuying's eyes widened angrily, and she shouted: "He dares!" After thinking about it, he understood the deep meaning of Yizhi, and couldn't help but shrink his shoulders and said, "I didn't expect this." Turning his mind again, he asked Yizhi in turn: "If it were you, what would you think, and what would you do?" ”
"I must not accept that in this world, there will never be a man who loves me more than my father, and there is no man who is worthy of me breaking with my father for him." If my husband truly loves me, he will know the weight of my father in my heart, even if he has any grievances. If he insists on doing so, he must be tempting, so how can I back down? ”
"Speaking of grievances." Liu Xiuying said: "I remembered in a trance that the idle servant woman mentioned that after passing the provincial examination, she repeatedly failed to succeed, and her daily expenses were all based on selling some calligraphy and paintings, writing some lyrics and songs, and the drama was barely supported. But he has a good face, and he doesn't say it to his family, and his family's needs are answered. You can earn a few bucks by selling words, and you have to ask your wife and your father-in-law's family to help make up for it. ”
Yizhi smiled: "Yes, you don't know the details of the matter, and that woman's attitude has become a clue." If the woman wants to be separated, the life of her husband and wife will be more bad than sweet, and he will not be able to bear it if he is disrespectful to his father. If her father forced the woman to divorce, if the woman felt that the marriage could be salvaged, she would naturally mediate between them, and this would also be eased. ”
"Maybe the woman is an unassertive person who doesn't dare to disobey her father."
Yizhi shook his head and said: "In today's world, there are a few women who dare not disobey their father's orders, and a few fathers who will ignore their daughters. Speaking of this, he laughed again, and then said: "Zeng University scholar did not use the lyrical text, and sighed with emotion, 'The ancients and women were all safe and self-sufficient, but in modern times, the lady lived in the house, and had been in the same house as a car suit, Yao jewelry, and the generations gathered to talk about extravagance, jealousy, and the negative valve, and married before the adult, and married contrary to the line and better than the sex, so that the man and the woman, the husband and the woman, regardless of the support of the aunt, and the offense and the straight, the beloved person can not blame the woman, and can not help but look back at his relatives, few of them!" ’。 ”
Liu Xiuying shook her head and said: "I don't really understand, in short, who dares to scold my father, see how I clean him up, no one can do it!" ”
Yizhi lowered his eyes and smiled, and said: "I think that everything must be considered in all aspects, just one point, and I must not let my father be wronged for me." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then moved on to chat. They soaked in the bath for a while, then they dried themselves, changed into a peach-colored diagonal large-sleeved bathrobe prepared by the perfume shop, and went to the teahouse to eat tea, the two sat for a while, Xing'er and Erhua also washed and bathed, and even the new clothes have been changed, Yizhi and Liu Xiuying ate some fruit, and ate two teas, before getting up to change clothes, waiting to change clothes, talking and laughing, returning to the atrium, to the right side of the hand-copying verandah, not on the stage, but from the verandah under the stage, leading to the combing room, the combing woman was empty, and saw the two come inThen two women arose and served.
When he went out of the hundred perfume shops again, the sun was in full bloom, and a spring breeze was blowing on his face, which made Yizhi feel refreshed, and he couldn't help but think of his father - he was busy with ancient books and schools these days, and almost ate and lived in the secret pavilion. So he wrenched his finger and estimated that he had not seen him for about seven or eight days. He felt that the sun was shining and felt a little warm, so he asked Li Ping to drive to Longjin Bridge first, buy cold syrup and rice, and then go in the direction of Ouchi.
The car staggered to the left door, the general leader of the forbidden army guards at the door recognized Yan Yizhi, and after clarifying his intentions, he let her and Xing'er enter the palace, and Yizhi got on the sedan chair again, and even Chongwen Academy, the master and servant crossed the bridge through the corridor, and from time to time they met familiar adults and stopped to say Wanfu, and continued to move forward after a little greeting.
When he walked into the secret pavilion library, Yan Shu was sitting on the ground, stacks of books beside him, piled up half a height around, his official hat was crookedly thrown aside, the slanting sun shone through the window of the high wall on his slightly messy high bun, he was holding a book high, and his whole spirit was concentrated in it, reading as if he was fascinated, his eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth were all wrinkled together.
Only then did he realize that at some point, his father's face had a few more furrows, and his hair turned slightly white in the sun, and he couldn't help but feel sour, and called out to his father.
Yan Shu raised his eyebrows when he heard the news, his face turned sideways slightly, but his eyes were still on the book, and after a while, he looked at Yizhi and asked, "Why are you here?" Yi Zhitian smiled: "I don't miss you." ”
Yan Shu laughed, then stretched out a hand and beckoned to Yizhi.
Xing'er handed the food box to Yizhi, and retreated after owing.
Yizhi walked towards Yan Shu, first put down the food box, found a cushion to sit beside him as far as his eyes could see, then opened the food box, took out the porcelain pot, took the wooden bowl, poured the cold syrup rice, and presented it with both hands. Yan Shu laughed, took the wooden bowl with one hand, and took a bite first, only to feel cold and sweet, so he ate two more bites.
Yizhi clasped his hands around his knees, tilted his head to look at his father, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw him smile. Suddenly, she felt that something touched her left shoulder, so she looked to the left hand side, and felt that something touched her right shoulder, and she looked at the right hand side again, at this time, the left shoulder touched again, and she understood what was going on, so she simply turned around and said to the person who was teasing her: "I see where you are fleeing." When I looked back, I saw that it was Fu Liangbi, and my heart warmed a little.
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Fu Liangbi smiled and said, "My sister hasn't seen you for a long time." Then he saw the cold syrup and rice in the food box, and said, "It can be seen that I am blessed." After that, he also took a cushion, sat down cross-legged beside Yizhi, sat down, and smelled a rich fragrance coming from her, and couldn't help but look at her sideways.
Yi Zhi was looking through the spout of the porcelain pot to see how much cold syrup rice was left in the belly of the pot, and when he lowered his head, the back placket was pouted, revealing a snow-white back.
Yi Yi looked at the pothole and said, "I didn't know you were there." There is still a surplus, but there are no bowls. As he spoke, he went to see Fu Liangbi, but he hung his head, lowered his eyes, and said, "I'll go and get my cup for tea." "Then get up and go out.
Yizhi looked at Yan Shu again, only to see that his gaze followed Fu Liangbi, but after a while, he glanced at Yiyi and continued to read.
Yizhi was a little puzzled, waited for a while, felt bored, so he picked a book to read, and was reading the second page, someone brought another stack of books, placed them at Yizhi's feet, and listened to the man's tired snorting. Yizhi raised his head to look, and it just so happened that he met the man's gaze, and at this glance, both of them were stunned.
Seeing that his face was fresh and tender, and he was handsome, he only compared a few people in the Qingming Courtyard, as if he was smaller than himself, and faintly felt that his face was kind, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. It was inconvenient for her to stare at the other person, but when she saw that the man's eyes were straight, he looked at him infatuatedly, as if half of his soul was missing, so she reminded with a smile: "Where have I seen this little official, and I think it is extremely kind." ”
The man came back to his senses and wanted to speak, but he didn't think about what to say, he just opened his mouth empty, and he was hesitant for a long time, Yan Shu couldn't see it, so he said for him: "This one is Lu Gongbi, the third brother of the Lu Daguan family, the eldest brother of the Wen family and his cousin, on the day of the marriage of the eldest brother of the Wen family and his cousin, the two of you were on the same table, and you wanted to fight for a crab...... That was five or six years ago. ”
Yizhi remembered the events at that time little by little, and suddenly sighed with a sense of enlightenment, and couldn't help but squint at Lu Gongbi, and said: "I vaguely remember that I didn't cry for the crab, but because he pulled my pigtails, I cried." Lu Gongbi seemed to think about it, he was funny and discouraged, shaking his head and waving his hand, and he was shaking his hand again, and he was shaking to Yan Yizhi, his mouth was empty, and he couldn't even say a word.
Yizhi and Yan Shu looked at each other, laughed together, laughed for a while, Yizhi said to Lu Gongbi: "That's it, it's all old accounts, what do you do when you mention it, if you really feel guilty in your heart, why don't you invite me to eat a few crabs, this page will be revealed." Lu Gongbi made a gesture, and the voice should be yes.
At this time, Fu Liangbi came around from behind Lu Gongbi, handed the rabbit cup where he ate tea to Yizhi, and sat down cross-legged beside her. Fu Liangbi had already sat down, and when he saw that Yizhi said this, he sighed, took the bowl and stood up and went out.
Yizhi sent Fu Liangbi out, and Yu Guang saw that Lu Gongbi was also tilting his head to look at Fu Liangbi, and saw that he had stepped out of the threshold of the library pavilion, and then turned his head to look at himself, the corners of his mouth squirmed, as if he had something to say, but he hesitated and did not make a sound.
He didn't say anything, and he didn't care about remembering it, so he continued to read with his head down, but he could always feel his gaze, and when he felt that something was wrong, he raised his head and looked at him.
Her gaze fell and was generous, which made Lu Gongbi ashamed.
Yan Shu took in everything and felt that it was not like words, so he proposed to go home.
Yi Zhi hurriedly reached out to help, Yan Shu stood up with the help of Yi Zhi, and instructed Lu Gongbi, and then led Yi Zhi out, Lu Gongbi sent the two to the outside of the library, and the three of them were meeting with Fu Liangbi who was holding a tea cup, Yan Shu said where he was going, and told him again. Fu Liangbi will keep the instructions in mind, and say goodbye in the same place, he did not mean to send each other, but saw that Lu Gongbi was very attentive, so he had doubts about whether he was not polite, so he followed all the way out, Fu and Lu sent Yan Shu and Yizhi to the carriage, and watched them leave, Fu Liangbi wanted to go back to the hospital, but saw that Lu Gongbi was still looking at it, and said in his mouth: "The snail bun is fragrant and fragrant, and the water spirit is breezy." The golden hairpin obliquely wears Yichun Sheng, long live the temples red. I understood a little bit at the moment, and said with a smile: "Are you falling in love again?" ”
Lu Gong Biben was stunned, his eyes suddenly lit up, his hands opened the bow left and right, held Fu Liangbi's arms, and shook it gently: "Brother Liangbi, you have a very close relationship with the Yan family, you must know the details." ”
Fu Liangbi smiled and pushed his hands away, straightened his clothes and said, "What do you want to know?" Lu Gongbi lowered his voice and asked, "Miss Yan, have you allowed anyone?" ”
Fu Liangbi wanted to answer, but he didn't know how to answer, so he laughed for a while, and then remained silent.
