Chapter 62, branches

Other people's territory is not suitable for dancing knives and guns, Zhou Tianyi will concentrate in front of the house every morning for half an hour, reconciling inside and outside. Before Qin Song went out, he would sometimes stand under the porch and look down on him for a moment, but today, the gaze staring at him was a little unfamiliar, Zhou Tianyi retracted his momentum, and looked at the two maids who were still hesitating to step forward not far away, his eyes were sharp, "What's the matter?" ”

His voice was not loud, but he asked crisply, and the momentum and coercion were inadvertently revealed, and the two maids shrank back in surprise, not daring to answer. Zhou Tianyi realized that his normal reaction seemed to scare them, and his voice slowed down again, "The two girls have been standing like this for a long time, is there something wrong?" ”

The morning sun was rising, and the backlight made his silhouette look softer, and the two maids looked at each other, and then they raised their courage to salute, "Zou Gongzi, our young lady is invited." As he spoke, one of them held up the tray in his hand in front of Zhou Tianyi, and a rose-colored invitation was placed inside.

Zhou Tianyi frowned, and the colorful posts were almost all banquet invitations, and when he was in Beijing and Zhou, his palace refused to accept them, but now they ...... Now his identity is not King Zhao, just a businessman, and he can't save Miss Chu's face by living in the Chu house, and he was hesitating, and another maid who was not holding a tray in front of him said gently: "It's just a tea tasting in the mountains, it won't take up too much of Zou Gongzi's time, please move to the prince's face." ”

Being so stiff is not a solution, Zhou Tianyi once again felt the convenience brought by his identity, and he also had a taste for Qin Song's previous attitude of being wary of him but still following his wishes. Looking left and right, Qin Song had already gone out, and Shen Buwen was probably not there, the two life-saving straws were broken, and he couldn't find a proper reason to refuse temporarily, so he could only accept the invitation and signal the maid to lead the way.

Chu Qinling invited Zhou Tianyi to the mountain pavilion, which is different from the wooden carved beams and painted buildings, the pavilion made of mountain stones looks a little cumbersome, but the stones come from the same source, and they can be integrated with the mountains from a distance.

Those who are familiar with King Zhao know that Zhou Tianyi does not like to be alone with strange women, not to mention that Chu Qinling in front of him still has a strong sense of emotion and purpose, and it is not easy to get along, not to mention, and he has to be vigilant at all times.

"Miss Chu's invitation is a great honor." Zhou Tianyi said so verbally, but when he stood in front of Chu Qinling, he only made a hasty nodding salute.

"Qin Lingguan has excellent mountain weather today, suitable for tea, so I want to invite Zou Gongzi to talk about it. Childe is willing to appreciate his face, Qin Ling is grateful! Chu Qinling directly skipped Zhou Tianyi's "rudeness", got up and nodded in the same way, and invited him to sit opposite each other.

She is dressed more coquettishly today, the butterfly hairpin in her hair is dancing in the morning sun, and a small makeup is painted on her round face.

Zhou Tianyi didn't care about Chu Qinling's dress, glanced sideways at the mountain, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed the scenery, and said with a slight smile: "Today is indeed very good, Miss Chu is going to make tea herself?" As he sat down, he saw a delicate tea set on the stone table, and asked just to find a suitable topic to avoid the embarrassment of the two of them having nothing to say.

"The Qinling tea ceremony is not comparable to ...... Qin Ling's tea ceremony is shallow, I'm afraid I'm going to make Zou Gongzi laugh. Her tea ceremony is not as good as Qin Song, but Chu Qinling instinctively does not want to mention her cousin in front of Zhou Tianyi, they are only two years apart, but her cousin is going faster and farther on the road ahead, until now, she is beyond her reach.

When she was a child, she liked Qin Song's generosity, tolerance and calmness, so that she was always the only one who could be spoiled and pampered, but now she was disgusted by her generosity and calmness, as if in this family, only she was the most ignorant, and only she was still treated as a child.

"Miss Chu is modest." Zhou Tianyi looked at Chu Qinling's skillful techniques, what he said was not a lie, the tea ceremony was one of the compulsory courses for the women of the scholar clan, but in fact, it was ...... It didn't have much effect, Qin Song's tea ceremony was specially learned in order to negotiate smoothly with others.

There are not many women who use the tea ceremony after marriage, at most it is a love affair with their husbands, but how many are really satisfied when they marry in the main room?

The three generations of the Chu family are not like officials, why would they ask the daughter of the Chu family to learn this?

Zhou Tianyi was thinking about it, the tea bowl in front of him was half full of tea, he pinched the small tea bowl and sniffed it, before taking a sip, "Miss Chu's tea ceremony has been practiced hard since childhood, otherwise there would not be such a skill." ”

"Although it is a requirement at home, it is also a skill when you learn it." Chu Qinling's movements in her hands did not stop, she replied with a chuckle, and then immediately asked what she wanted to know about "Zou Gongzi", "Where is Gongzi a businessman, and why did he choose Yuyan to do business?" She rarely goes out, but she also knows that Yuyan is the front line, and the sale of goods is not in a recession, so it is not easy to make a profitable business.

"In Xiajing Zhouren, I met Miss Qin in Jingzhou a few months ago, and I had no intention of Yuyan Trade Road, but Miss Qin seems to have other opinions here, so I just followed to take a look." His answer was naturally a lie, but it was really mixed with the experience of his acquaintance with Qin Song, and he occasionally saw fate on the side of the road, and the Qin family of the Flowing Water Palace banquet was also among the invitations, probably a part, there is a fate, there will be a beginning and an end.

"Did the boy see something?" Chu Qinling believed it to be true, and asked innocently as she spoke.

"This ......"

Seeing that the person on the other side was hesitant, Chu Qinling immediately realized that she was asking too urgently, how could she casually reveal the affairs of other people's properties, so she lowered her head and said softly, "Qin Ling is abrupt, Qin Ling has never been out of Xiangcheng since she was a child, Zou Gongzi still tells me about the scenery outside Yuyan, right?" ”

Zhou Tianyi didn't expect that his momentary hesitation would cause this kind of misunderstanding, but it was okay, he was not a businessman in the first place, and if he was unprepared, he would talk about the trade routes of a place without preparation, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not show his feet. The woman sitting opposite was kept in the boudoir and rarely went out, if he just talked about the scenery of various places, then he was still knowledgeable, "Miss Chu really wants to hear it?" ”

Chu Qinling nodded, her eyes full of anticipation.

In his early years, Zou followed his father to do business in Huaiyang, Huaiyang is the pearl of the south of the Quartet, the four seasons are distinct, the rivers are all over, I heard that there used to be a boat to travel, and later built an official road, and the local people generally used horses and carriages. I lived with my father in Huaiyang for more than a month, coinciding with the rainy season in Huaiyang, and the atmosphere was pervasive, and I always had to bring an umbrella when I went out, which was also a unique style. ”

Zhou Tianyi followed his memory, there are many rivers in Huaiyang in the rainy season, and his father has ordered the reinforcement of the river embankment every year, but this embankment is washed out every year, so that year, his father and emperor tried his best to disagree with the public and personally went to Huaiyang in the rainy season, as for him...... It was carried by the way.

The rich businessmen gathered in the land of Huaiyang, and the reinforcement of the embankment was mostly the businessmen themselves in the money and efforts, but the government did nothing, but the businessmen funded the construction of the embankment and no one co-ordinated, the embankment on one bank was less than a dozen households in repair, and the more than 100 households, the junction was not careful, and the river still often broke the embankment when it rose.

For such a reason, if you don't go to Huaiyang in person, who will tell the Son of Heaven?

That year, Huaiyang officials were asked to behead a total of 131 people, he was still young, the servant next to him wanted to come forward to cover his eyes, but his father asked him to open his eyes wide, and then asked him, whether he was compassionate, whether he was afraid, whether his heart was shaken, he shook his head ignorantly, but in exchange for his father's dragon face and joy.

"Zou Gongzi?" Chu Qinling didn't wait for the next step, and called carefully.

Zhou Tianyi woke up like a dream, he said it casually, but he didn't expect to think deeply because it was related to his father, he laughed a few times apologetically, and also covered up the sadness that was revealed in an instant, "I'm sorry, the tea is fragrant, and I'm a little distracted." As he spoke, he pinched the tea bowl, took another sip, and praised: "Miss Chu is a good craft." ”

Chu Qinling smiled contentedly and sweetly, and looked at Zhou Tianyi with even more brilliance in her eyes, "Would Gongzi Zou still like to talk about other places?" ”

Zhou Tianyi was stunned, Huaiyang's experience can really be said in a thousand words, he just picked up a few boring intermittent descriptions, the purpose is to make her feel bored and boring, why is she so interested?

The result seems to have backfired.

And looking at the rising sun, he calculated the time in his heart, and was ready to leave after talking about the scenery of the place, this Miss Chu should also be satisfied, right?

"I also stayed in Yingchuan for a while, desert grassland, stony Gobi, mountains towering, there are patches of horses and sheep, the local people are simple, the horse gang during the repair period introduced us to the elders of each village, we carried a full load of goods out of the mountains of Yingchuan, and then saw the pavilions and pavilions, and suddenly felt that I may have had a dream before."

"And then?"

"There is no later, the people in the land of Yingchuan have their own way of living, and it is not good to disturb it, so I did not enter the mountains of Yingchuan again, but opened up another trade route." Zhou Tianyi coughed lightly to finish, seventy percent of Yingchuan's experience and experience are made up, most of this place is the land of the five watches, and the iron hooves of Yingchuan Iron Rider have stepped on the blood and bones of countless soldiers from all over the world, and his impression of this place is not as good as he said.

Although his words were gentle, the pain and hatred he had personally experienced would still be slightly revealed even if he tried his best to cover it up, Chu Qinling was affected by the atmosphere around him, and he didn't ask any more questions in fear, but lowered his head and served him another cup of tea, "Zou Gongzi, please use it." ”

After Zhou Tianyi took a sip in silence, he deliberately looked in the direction of the sun and said, "It's not too early, it's time for Zou to say goodbye, thank you Miss Chu for your hospitality." ”

After Zhou Tianyi walked away, the two maids who had been waiting in the distance stepped forward to pack up the tea set, while Chu Qinling held her head and looked at the mountains in the distance, still murmuring in her mouth, "She and he came all the way from Beijing and Zhou...... "Are they all talking so casually on the road?" She admitted that she envied Qin Song, envious to the point of jealousy, Qin Huai's uncle let Qin Song go out, but her father locked her up.

"Miss, you have to take your time, isn't Gongzi Zou willing to come to see you alone?"

"Yes, being willing to go to the appointment alone must be different for Miss."

The two maids thought that their young lady's depression came from the fact that Zou Gongzi had stayed too short for a long time, so they hurriedly stepped forward and comforted him word by word.

"Yes, he was willing to come." Chu Qinling smiled, raised her hand and rewarded the two of them with a small golden hairpin, she didn't have any hope, who said that these two girls really invited him, he should be rewarded.
