Chapter 14 Tang Mei Encounter
The three of them finally arrived at the Wind and Rain Pavilion, sat on the bench under the pavilion and rested, climbed the mountain for more than half an hour, and did not bring anything to eat or drink, Lantian began to reflect on why he proposed to come to the mountain.
The three of them were sweating finely, Li Tang raised his sleeves to wipe them, and said coyly: "Brother, I'm so thirsty." ”
Li Yu looked around, got up and walked to the south path, and after turning the corner, there was a mountain spring, although it was small, but it continued to flow in all seasons, and the bottom of the stone slab was hollowed and accumulated a pool of shallow water; Li Yu washed his hands in the shallow depression, reached out and took some spring water to drink, I don't know if he was very thirsty, but he felt that the water was sweet and warm!
Li Yu reached out and picked two unknown wide vine leaves, which were still evergreen this season. Gather the leaves into a small bowl, one in each hand, and take the mountain spring to the wind and rain pavilion.
The two leaned weakly on the benches on both sides, Li Yu took the spring water in the rattan leaf bowl, and handed one to each other, and Lantian took it after thanking him.
Li Tang drank it in two sips, leaned on the pillar and sighed: "It's so delicious!" ”
Li Yu only glanced at her and didn't speak.
Lantian looked around, and seemed to have nothing to say: "This mountain is good." ”
After a pause, he said: "I see that Tang'er is also tired, let's go down the mountain after a while, and we will have the opportunity to continue climbing in the future!" "Probably because I was so tired from coming up with this bad idea to go up the mountain, I didn't admit defeat, so I had to find an excuse.
Li Tang was indeed tired, and he only felt that his legs and feet were sore, so if he was amnesty, he nodded very approvingly, and Li Yu also nodded: "That's okay, go back to the town to eat after going down the mountain." ”
As soon as the three of them had finished discussing, they vaguely heard a voice coming, and when they looked back, they saw two people walking out of the path on the west side behind the pavilion.
The man walked in front of him in a robe with red gauze inlaid with gold thread on a white background, because the road was narrow, and he could not walk side by side, and the man also led a girl to walk behind him, and he carefully stretched out his hand to block the branches and rattans above his head.
Out of the forest path, the girl behind her stepped forward, into the eyes of a peach-pink light velvet jacket skirt, covered with a bright red cloak, in this dark green or withered yellow forest, incomparably distinct, look at the white and tender face, it is simply to save this piece of dead and silent forest flower fairy.
Li Tang was surprised and delighted, and before Li Yu grabbed her, he waved his hand and shouted, "Miss Bai." ”
Lantian smiled, and Li Yu sighed...
Bai Shaojie and Bai Meixue looked up at the pavilion, Bai Meixue smiled slightly, and Bai Shaojie's face was like the bottom of a pot in an instant.
As soon as the two of them walked into the pavilion, a young man chased out of the path behind, carrying a basket, panting and running into the pavilion, with a few vines hanging on his head, and his face was a little dissatisfied: "You guys are waiting for me!" ”
The young man sat on the empty bench and gasped: "I was holding something, and after a while, I was hooked by a tree vine, and you didn't wait for me." ”
Bai Shaojie looked disgusted with him: "If you take a basket, you won't be able to walk, what's the use of you!" ”
Bai Meixue coaxed her: "You have worked hard, Ye Hao, let's go down the mountain and go to the town for dinner." ”
Lu Yezhen smiled happily and nodded: "Well, okay." ”
Bai Shaojie rolled his eyes to the side.
"Second Prince Li" had already stepped forward, shook his robe, straightened the scarf feet, and when they finished speaking, he interjected at the right time: "Miss Bai, what a coincidence." ”
Bai Meixue turned to look at her and smiled: "Miss Li, it's really a coincidence!" You are... Outing? The three of them didn't carry anything, and they still looked tired from walking, so they could only guess like this.
Bai Shaojie stood aside and continued to the bottom of the pot, Li Tang didn't seem to see it: "Well, we just have nothing to do to walk..." ”
"On the fifteenth day of the Japanese supper, because I was in the city, I had never gone up the mountain to make incense, and my mother was inconvenient today, so the second brother and Ye Hao accompanied me.
Li Tang was surprised: "Is there a temple on this mountain?" I don't know? ”
Bai Meixue looked at her surprised appearance and nodded: "Well, it is a small nunnery, my mother came here to incense in her early years, and she will come every fifteenth day of the new year, and I have been with my mother all these years." ”
"There is a nunnery on this Yanfeng Mountain, I will definitely go up and see it another day."
"Well, but the master of the nunnery likes to cultivate quietly, and no one goes up to incense on weekdays." said that there was no one, but in fact, there was only one Bai family.
Li Tang suddenly realized: "No wonder, I just said why I haven't heard of it." After thinking about it, there was a sly light in his eyes: "Miss Bai, next time I go to Shangxiang, can I go with you?" ”
Before Bai Meixue could answer, a flash flood finally broke out on the bottom of the pot on the side: "What? You fall in love with incense, you go to yours, why do you want to be with Mei Xue? ”
Li Yu was speechless, Lan Tian and Lu Yezhen leaned on the bench and watched, without saying a word; Li Tang choked, and there were some grievances on his face...
Bai Meixue grabbed Bai Shaojie, stared at him, and whispered: "Oh, second brother..."
Bai Shaojie sighed silently in his heart and told himself: Hold back, she is just a little girl, don't care, Mei Xue will be unhappy.
Bai Meixue turned around and held Li Tang's hand: "Miss Li, don't be angry, my second brother is very good, he is straightforward and fast-talking, if you are with you in the future, then my mother can be more relaxed, and she doesn't have to run up the mountain often." ”
Li Tang looked down at the hands holding him, his ten fingers were green, slender and long, the palm of his hand came from a faint body temperature, and his fingertips were slightly cold, Li Tang's palm felt the coolness from his fingertips, spreading from the palm of his hand to his heart, from cool to scorching, all the way to the tip of his ear...
Looking up at the expectant eyes in front of him, Li Tang nodded mechanically and responded: "When... Correct... If you can go with Miss Bai in the future, you really can't ask for it. ”
Seeing Li Tang agree, Bai Meixue showed a happy look: "That's really good, I'll tell my mother when I go back, and I will invite you to come with you on the fifteenth day of the new year." ”
The beauty in front of her, smiling like a flower, Li Tang Mumu nodded, no one knew that at this moment, Li Tang's heart was blooming one after another with large flowers.
When the two of them made an appointment, none of the four people on the side looked the slightest bit happy.
Lu Yezhen was unhappy, because he thought that he could accompany Mei Xue with Bai Shaojie in the future, but he didn't expect to be robbed by others.
Bai Shaojie was unhappy, thinking about this Li Tang, who was dressed in men's clothes, and he would see him on the fifteenth day of the new year in the future.
Li Yu was just helpless, and was convinced in his heart: Tang'er, you finally found a reason to meet with people often, and you don't have to think hard about how to visit when you go home.
Lan Tian sat on the bench, lazily leaning on the mottled vermilion lacquer column, his eyes slightly slanted as if he was smiling at the two of them.
No matter how many people were willing and how many were not, in the end the six of them went down the mountain together, and when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Lantian's carriage was waiting there; Because Bai Mansion is much closer to Yanfeng Mountain than the town, Bai Shaojie and the three of them came on foot and did not drive.
Bai Meixue pulled Li Tang to go to the town for dinner together, and the others had no objections, and it was okay if they had objections, and they were not accepted.
With unanimous consent, I got into Lantian's carriage, which is quite spacious on weekdays, but at the moment it was crowded with six people, and there was not much space left, fortunately, the distance was not far, and it was enough to stick to the town.
The carriage came all the way to the largest restaurant in the town, the Welcome Building, which is said to be the largest, that is, a two-story small building, and the second floor is a private room.
The six got out of the carriage, straightened their clothes, and entered the restaurant, where there was no one in the restaurant before it was time for dinner; It's just that the shopkeeper and Xiao Er both knew Bai Shaojie's brothers and sisters and Young Master Lu, so they led a group of people to the private room on the second floor.
When the table was served, Bai Shaojie pulled Bai Meixue to sit beside him, Bai Meixue smiled helplessly and did not object, Lu Yezhen sat on the other side of Bai Meixue, Li Tang pouted, and had to sit in the middle of Li Yu and Lantian.
Although it is the farthest position from Bai Meixue, it is also the position where you can look at her face to face in an open and honest manner, and take in the other party's smile and take in the bottom of the picture.
Although some people are not happy with this meal, fortunately, it has not yet reached the point of fighting. Seeing that the atmosphere on the table was not very lively, Bai Meixue looked left and right, and opened her mouth to break the silence:
"That Tang'er..."As soon as he exited, he found that he seemed a little presumptuous, and hurriedly asked: "Miss Li, can I call you Tang'er in the future?" ”
A word of thunder thundered, and the crowd turned to her in surprise.
Lu Yezhen held the chopsticks and poked and poked in the bowl...
Li YuiQue: Well, maybe someone is happy this time!
Lantian was holding the food as usual, as if he was the only one at this table who had nothing to do with himself, and there was no wave on his face!
At this time, the protagonist "Li Ergongzi", from the moment Bai Meixue's "Tang'er" exited, he looked at each other from subconsciously looking up to understanding that it was Bai Meixue who called him, and the joy in his eyes couldn't be closed, and the flowers in his heart seemed to be about to break out!
Except for her family, she rarely called her like this, and Lantian was automatically ignored by her.
Bai Shaojie, who should have been the first to sit still, just controlled his tone very indifferently and smiled: "Why? ”
Seeing everyone's reactions, Li Tang didn't speak, Bai Meixue didn't know if there was something wrong with her words! So he said, "Isn't this good?" Is that called Tangtang? ”
People at a table: ...... That's not the point!
Maybe there is a picture in Bai Shaojie's mind that suddenly emerged, a picture a long, long time ago, there was a little fat doll in a blue robe, and asked her to the little girl in a red jacket: "My name is Tang Tang, what about you?" ”
But at this time, Bai Shaojie was jealous, it was impossible to pay attention to these things in his head, and he had to endure his anger.
gave Bai Meixue a piece of mushroom slices in the bowl: "Meixue, it doesn't matter what it's called, let's eat first, go home early after eating, and my father and mother will be worried when it's late!" ”
"Oh, yes, I'm going to go back sooner!" The mind is successfully distracted. At this point, the protagonist Li Tang did not get a response from beginning to end, and the conversation passed like this...
Everyone thought about a meal, and finally ate almost enough, Bai Shaojie called Xiao Er to settle the bill, Li Yu hurriedly took out the money bag and was about to pay, Lantian hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Brother Li, I'll come." ”
Li Yu refused: "Brother Lan said that he was joking, isn't it a joke to let you settle the bill for the first time." After that, he handed the silver two to Xiao Er.
At this time, Bai Shaojie on the side said quietly: "There is no need for the two of you to argue...", he turned to Xiao Er and said, "Hang up my account." ”
