Chapter 13 Lan Gongzi gives gifts
The two looked at each other and smiled, Lantian took the teacup, the taste of tea in the mountains and fields, the entrance was light, a little relaxed, and there was a faint floral fragrance lingering between the noses, but it was not the same taste as usual.
Lantian looked up at Li Tang from the teacup: "Is there pollen added to this tea?" ”
Li Tang really wanted to roll his eyes, and said in his heart that it was really stupid, how could there be pollen added to the tea, but he still answered honestly on his face: "No, just add a little peach blossom collected in the first year." ”
Lantian smiled: "I see, no wonder it tastes like tea, but it always smells faint of flowers...... "Did you make it yourself?" ”
Li Tang replied to him casually: "Well, you don't have to do anything, just pick up the clean petals in the mountains, dry them slightly, and put them away." ”
Lantian praised her: "Miss Li is really skillful. ”
Li Tang was helpless, and inexplicably felt that Lantian just had nothing to say, but he still replied patiently: "As long as you are free, everyone will." ”
"Also, don't call me Miss anymore, just call me Li Tang."
Lan Tian chuckled at her informality, with an attitude of accepting the proposal: "I am older than you, and I am the same as Brother Li, so I call you Tang'er?" ”
Obviously, Lantian didn't intend to go with her consent, and turned his head to look at Li Yu, although it was in an inquiring tone, but it was confirmed.
Li Yu smiled and had no objections.
Li Tang is not a rude person, so he has to follow him. Who knew that Lantian then spoke: "Then Tang'er is going to call me brother." ”
Li Tang raised his eyes and glared at him as if he was trampled on: "What? Busy objecting: "No, it's not much." ”
Lantian didn't answer her, diverted the conversation, turned his head and said to Li Yu: "Ah, by the way, Brother Li, the first time I came to the door, I prepared a little courtesy, and I almost forgot it." ”
After that, he called the people in the courtyard to come in, and the people took a brocade box from the carriage and sent it to the small table next to the two people in the hall, and then retreated to the courtyard.
Li Yu hurriedly stopped: "Brother Lan is a guest when he passes through the door, so there is no need to be so polite." ”
Lan Tian waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not a valuable thing, Brother Li don't be polite, it's just an ordinary product in the factory at home, just as a meeting gift, and I will come to the door empty-handed to drink tea in the future." ”
He said it lightly, but Li Yu knew that the products of the Lan Family Glaze Factory, even if they were ordinary products, were worth a lot of money, and he had never received such a heavy gift, so he was a little worried in his heart, afraid that his father would blame him when he came back and found out.
Li Yu was still hesitating, but Li Tang got up curiously and reached out to open the lid of the box.
A pair of dark green glass vases with ice blue bottle mouths lying in a delicate brocade box, a pair of blooming water lotus flowers are branded on the belly of the bottle, and the bottle body is slightly shimmering in the light, and the color is dazzling.
Li Yu saw the contents of the box, and hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Brother Lan, this thing is too valuable, forgive Li Yu for not being able to accept this heavy gift, and I hope Brother Lan will forgive me." ”
Maybe it's because Lantian has been used to seeing all kinds of glass things since he was born, and he has long been surprised.
Seeing Li Yu so panicked at this moment, he began to reflect: Is it really valuable? Isn't it true that the factory has to burn several kilns a day? As long as it's not a tribute, other products are not a big deal!
However, he wanted to think about it, and he was not an open-mouthed person, so as not to be arrogant, he just tried to dispel Li Yu's concerns: "Brother Li, this thing is just an ordinary object, Brother Li shirked this time, isn't it because I am not welcome to come to the door next time?" ”
Li Yu choked, but still patiently explained: "What Brother Lan said, of course not. ”
Li Tang was not surprised, her thoughts had already drifted a few miles away, she was thinking, if she had this pair of bottles, would she be able to take them to visit the Li Mansion?
Finally, she has been taught a strict family since she was a child, and she also knows that it is impossible to do such a futile thing, so she waved this idea away in time.
Thinking about it in her heart, Li Yu saw that she was distracted, and hurriedly reached out and pulled her sleeve, and handed her a look at her, signaling her to refuse.
Li Tang was pulled back to his thoughts, and when he saw his signal, he hurriedly refused: "Young Master Lan, this is indeed too precious, if you come to Qingxi Town in the future, you don't need to worry about it, our family is not a big family, I don't care about these etiquette, my father and mother are hospitable, I will definitely like you, but we can't accept this gift, my father and mother know that we will be punished..."
Li Yu hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes..."
When the two of them were thinking of shirking each other, Lantian was also thinking about how to persuade them to accept it, and at this moment, seeing Li Tang helping to refuse, he suddenly approached her slightly, and said to her like a good brother: "Tang'er, it's okay for you to call me brother." ”
Li Tang was thinking about how to refuse, but he didn't realize why he suddenly said this, as if he was bewitched, he asked him in confusion: "Brother? Obviously with questions, questioning why he brought this up at this time.
But Lantian deliberately didn't understand what he meant: "Okay, since I called my brother, this is even if my brother went to my sister's door to give a meeting gift, if I want to continue to excuse myself, I will be angry, and I will not be able to go to your door again in the future." ”
After that, he pretended to be slightly angry, and the brother and sister couldn't resist his tongue, but they couldn't accept it.
Lan Tian ignored them, stretched out his hand to cover the box, and got up: "Brother Li, is there anything interesting in this town?" I've been here before, but I haven't walked around, so it's better for Brother Li to take me around. ”
At this point, Li Yu had no choice but to accept Lantian's generous gift, thinking that he would make plans later, and if he shirked more, it would only make people unhappy.
He responded to him: "There has never been any elegant scenery in this Chunxi town, and the lotus lake outside the town is not the flowering season now, and I really didn't think of the place where I can lead Brother Lan to go for a while!" With that, I started to figure out where I could go.
Lantian didn't mean to have fun, it was just the idea of asking the brother and sister to walk around together, so he said: "Brother Li don't bother, I just want to go and take a walk, what hills can I walk around this town?" ”
Mountaineering? Li Yu's brother and sister asked in their hearts at the same time: Go to the mountains in this winter? It's really good... Chic ideas...
Li Yu didn't show anything on his face, and after a little thought in his mind, he said:
"Out of the town to the southwest, there is a Yanfeng Mountain, the mountains are full of trees, there are a lot of flowers and plants, there are a few eyes of water flowing to the mountains from the top of the mountain, from top to bottom the mountain and pass through a mountain river, to the mountainside to accumulate into a river pool, there is a hole bridge on the river pool, go to take a walk in the summer to see the scenery is acceptable, but there is no scenery in this season, and then the mountain fog is thick, the flowers have not bloomed, the water is also cool, the mountain road is not very easy to walk, Brother Lan wants to go for a walk?"
There is really no good place to go in this town, Li Yu is sincere, so he had to make this proposal, thinking that Lantian would definitely retreat when he heard his introduction.
Unexpectedly, Lantian had no objections, and said very happily: "Very good, then Brother Li is free now, let's go for a walk together?" ”
Li Yu is going to go to the academy on weekdays to listen to the seniors, but the current Xia Xue has not yet opened the classroom, and he is looking at poetry and books on weekdays, he is not determined to be famous, and he has studied medical science with his father since he was a child.
Seeing that Lantian was full of interest, Li Yu didn't want to sweep him away: "It's okay, it's just that Brother Lan has come from afar, and I'm afraid I'm too tired to go at this moment." ”
They are all teenagers, and it is the time when they are energetic, where will they be tired: "It's okay, then there will be Brother Lao Li!" ”
Seeing that the two had finished discussing, Li Tang hurriedly grabbed Li Yu and asked, "Brother, am I going too?" ”
Li Yu nodded before he could speak, Lan Tian rushed and said: "Naturally, I want to go, there are many people, let's go!" ”
In fact, Li Tang wanted to say that she wanted to stay at home and figure out how to go to Baifu to find Bai Meixue! But I can't think of any good ideas for a while, and there is nothing wrong with going for a walk at home, so there is nothing wrong with going for a walk together, and maybe I can think of a way.
So he responded: "Then wait for me to change my clothes!" ”
Li Yu is accustomed to it, and Lan Tian is surprised: Do you still have to dress up when you go to the mountains? The daughter's family is really...
Without waiting for the two to answer, Li Tang went to the boudoir by himself, and the two waited in the courtyard, but they came out in a moment.
Although Lantian didn't drop his jaw in surprise, he still couldn't help but joke with Li Tang: "I only think that Tang'er's sister is because I pay attention to my appearance when I go out, so I want to dress up, I never thought that I would change into this outfit again..."
Li Tang stood next to the flower garden in the courtyard, wearing a red gown, the belt was tightly tied, the bun on his head had been put down, the hair was tied together with a lotus scarf, and the feet of the scarf floated on his shoulders at will.
Listening to Lantian teasing himself, he didn't answer at all, and dragged Li Yu: "Let's go, brother, Yanfeng Mountain is more than a mile away from the town!" ”
Lan Tian didn't mind her ignoring at all, it seemed that he had long been used to it, and he had only seen each other twice.
The three of them went out of the yard, Lantian's carriage was waiting by the low tree at the door, got into the carriage, went out of the south gate of the town, and drove to the foot of Yanfeng Mountain in the southwest...
If you walk on weekdays, you have to walk for a while, but today you will take a carriage and it won't take long to arrive...
The carriage stopped, the three of them came down, the southwest is the intersection at the foot of the mountain, Lantian asked the people to wait at the bottom of the mountain, and he and Li Tang began to walk up the mountain road, and after walking for a while, the mountain road was hidden in the dense trees in the mountains...
The tall trees and low trees in the mountains, the weeds that grow on both sides of the road that are not defeated in winter, and the plum blossoms that have not yet bloomed in the forest are mixed with some plum blossoms.
The winding path under their feet slowed upward, the three of them chatted while walking, and after walking for a long time, they began to struggle a little, Li Yu proposed: "Brother Lan, go up further, there is a pavilion on the mountainside, and you will reach the Tan River, where is the Kong Bridge, how about we rest there?" ”
Lantian nodded in agreement, Li Tang didn't want to speak anymore: Why did you come to the mountains for a walk in this winter! The people from the city are just different!!
The three of them walked for another half a moment, and then they saw a four-corner pavilion standing on the mountainside, standing next to the road, with green tiles and stanleys, but they didn't know how many years of wind, frost, rain and snow they had bathed, in this silent and empty mountain, silently showing their mottled state.
