After the heavy rain, the moon stars are scarce.

After a light and palatable dinner, Gongsun Zhi sat in the courtyard with a feather fan to enjoy the coolness, Ding Feng wiped the sword carefully by the moonlight, but Xiao Lou held a slender jujube in one hand, and a palm-sized carving knife in the other, both hands flew flexibly, the movement was extremely fast, and he didn't know what he was carving.

"Hey!"

Ding Feng raised his head when he heard the voice, looked at his teacher in surprise, and said with a smile: "Old man, what's wrong with you, our things are going well, we can complete the task and leave, why are you still sighing to Yuechang?" ”

Gongsun Zhi just shook his head and said nothing, with a bit of deliberate frustration in his expression.

Flutter ...... Xiao Lou raised his head and glanced at his master with a smile, "Our old man is too comfortable to live here, and he doesn't want to go!" ”

…… Xiao Lou's words made the three masters and apprentices laugh in mockery, but this is also the truth.

The Zhuangzi of the Lou family near the mountain is not big, and it is built differently from the unique wealthy courtyard of this era, just the green tile and white wall, however, the winding water flows, the willows become a forest, and the green mountains and bright moon and living water are borrowed as the scenery, and the whole courtyard has almost no traces of artificial carving, and it is naturally quiet and elegant.

There are only five courtyards in a small Zhuangzi, which are connected by communication, but they are very different in style, and they do not conform to the courtyard rules of this era, but if you look closely, the house is oriented, and the garden layout has its own reason, and the sun and even the wind direction are in line, which makes people extremely comfortable in the middle, according to the words of Gongsun Zhi, that is, the feng shui of this place is excellent, and it is a place to raise people......

"It's okay to live in the place, the old man is not squeamish, but this place is convenient for bathing, but it is ingenious, I have stayed here for a long time, and then change back to the previous one, the old man is afraid that it will be awkward for a few days."

At this time, even Ding Feng nodded, the bathroom of the Lou family has both a bluestone bathtub and living water that can be used from top to bottom, it is very convenient to take a bath, and the thatched toilet is even more distinctive, very clean and refreshing, he has lived here for a long time, and he is really unwilling to move the place.

Xiaolou smiled and said: "Old man, when we return to the capital, we will also buy a homestead on the side of the mountain outside the city, and we will have to build a Zhuangzi that is similar to here, what are you worried about now." ”

Gongsun was stunned for a moment, then looked at his beloved apprentice with a smile and said: "Hehe, I forgot, now the capable young lady of the Lou family is my apprentice and daughter-in-law, and it is not easy to repair a house or something!" ”

Xiaolou's face has become thicker now, and he is not even red anymore, so he lowered his head and continued to carve, but Gongsun Zhi began to think about his future life, he was old, his wife died early, and he did not leave a man and a woman, so in his heart, the two apprentices beside him are his sons, who have been running around for all these years, and it is time for the two of them to plan for their small plans.

Gongsun Zhi sighed in his heart, although his credit is in the imperial court, the country of the Great Xia Dynasty can be defeated, and his credit is indelible, but it is precisely because the credit is too great that he is unwilling to be an official in the court. Like now, when he sees an official at a higher level, he does not kneel before driving, precisely because he is not in charge of military power, is not in the court, and does not ask about political affairs when he is idle, so he can be free and free and carefree.

But Xiaolou and Ding Feng can't always follow themselves, they are still young, and they always have to achieve a career in a good year, so Xiaolou's joke makes sense, it is an idea to settle in the suburbs of Beijing, while they are still alive, they can help the two juniors, and they have to help the two of them to buy a family business that they will not worry about for a lifetime. Besides, Xiaolou now has a wife and a family, so he doesn't need to worry about it, Ding Feng is an orphan, and now he is not young, it's time to give Zhang Luo a good daughter-in-law.

An old man and two young people were thinking about their own thoughts, and the breeze came slowly, and suddenly there was a refreshing aroma of wine with the wind.

Xiao Lou's eyes widened suddenly, and the whole person suddenly stood up from the chair, raised his head and looked at the winding cobblestone path, even Gongsun Zhi and Ding Feng were in high spirits.

Xiao Ru came slowly along the cobblestone path with a mahogany tray, and as soon as she turned the corner, she was startled by the little Lou brother who suddenly appeared in front of her, her hands trembled, and the tray was crooked......

"Oh, watch out!" Xiao Lou turned pale with fright, and looked at Xiao Ru's hand with a pair of stunned eyes, but unfortunately, this time his rare hot gaze could not make the girl blush and be shy.

"Ahem...... Brother Xiaolou ......" Xiao Ru raised her eyebrows with a smile, and walked towards Gongsun Zhi's side, and said to Brother Xiaolou who followed behind him, "Brother Xiaolou's body is well, and it's nothing to drink some wine at this time, so I specially send you and Gongsun Old Man and Brother Ding a pot of wine." ”

Walking slowly to the stone table, Xiao Ru put the tray away, and said softly: "During this period of time, the old man accompanied Brother Xiaolou to quit drinking, so he must have been a little impatient......

At this time, the moonlight sprinkled on the tray, and I saw a white porcelain wine jug, three jade cups, a small bamboo tube made of green bamboo, and a few plates of delicate appetizers.

Xiao Ru pursed her lips and opened the lid of the bamboo tube with a smile, and in an instant, a sweet smell with the smell of flowers filled the entire courtyard, and she immediately heard the sound of swallowing saliva from her side.

Ding Feng, who didn't drink a drop of wine, couldn't help but take a long breath and said with a smile: "Why do I feel a lot more comfortable all over......

The golden milky liquid was poured into the white jade wine glass, and only a shallow layer of the bottom was smeared. Xiao Ru picked up the white porcelain flask in the tray and poured sake into the three wine glasses, explaining, "This wine is too viscous, and it needs to be blended with sake......

Before her words fell, Xiao Lou couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass, looked at the golden, pleasing wine just by looking at it, fanned it with his hand, and was so intoxicated that he closed his eyes for a long time before he took a deep breath and took a sip gently, and after that, his whole person wandered out of the world.

Xiao Ru stretched out her hand and motioned to Gongsun Zhi and Ding Feng to raise their glasses: "Brother Ding, I know you don't drink a drop of wine, but this kind of wine is only good for the body and not harmful, you might as well have a drink." ”

Gongsun Zhi smiled and said, "That's right, Ding Feng, if you don't drink such a good wine, you will definitely regret it." ”

This wine is so pleasing, Ding Feng struggled for a while, and finally couldn't help but pick up the wine glass, but after all, he and the old man Gongsun are not the drunkards in Xiaolou, a glass of wine is down, although they are also intoxicated, they are not speechless.

Gongsun Zhichang exhaled and sighed: "Hey, this is a monkey bar, and the old man can't tell how wonderful it is, he only feels that the pores all over his body are wide open, and all his internal organs are washed...... This wine is only ...... in heaven"

"Old man, I'm really afraid."

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid I'll become an alcoholic like Xiaolou...... If that's the case, wouldn't it be too much of a disappointment to the old man's twenty years of teaching......"

Xiaoru snorted and laughed, these two people couldn't tell the beauty of the wine, and they obviously said the compliments so well: "Brother Ding, you can rest assured, this monkey wine is the golden snub-nosed monkey in the mountains to collect a hundred fruits, brewed with the sweetest mountain spring, and aged in the stone cave underground, I have collected about five catties in more than three years, you just want to drink into a drunkard, it is impossible." "Of course, this is just the best monkey wine, which has become sticky and milky, and ordinary monkey wine is not so rare.

Gongsun Zhi smiled and raised his eyebrows: "That old man's cup can really be regarded as drinking a thousand gold...... No, it should be said that a thousand daughters are rare. ”

"Okay." A few words of laughter gave the long night sky a warm atmosphere, Xiao Ru always felt that staying with Gongsun Zhi, the elder, would not be a little restrained and unfamiliar, and also joked, "Then please ask the three of you to drink a few thousand gold slowly tonight, it is estimated that it is better than the feeling of 'throwing a thousand dollars'...... Belch...... Brother Xiaolou? ”

"Huh...... I, I'm here to pour wine for everyone......" Xiao Lou looked at his hand that grabbed the bamboo tube 'self-esteem', blinked, I was really embarrassed to say that you don't drink it, it's all up to me.

Xiaoru helped the three of them buy a red clay stove for warm wine, and instructed Xiaoyan to remember to add food, so she went back to the room, leaving only the three masters and apprentices, drinking and talking at night, until the middle of the moon, still full of interest.

Lying on the warm and soft bed, Xiaoru couldn't sleep for a while, thinking, in fact, just like the old man Gongsun Zhi said, a pot of monkey wine is estimated to be worth a thousand gold, so it seems that her capital is quite rich, even if she is in Beijing, she can also place a comfortable home, even if she has a husband and money in her hands, she is not panicked...... I'm sure I'll be able to live a happy life like I have now, so don't worry...... Just thinking about it like this, I fell asleep.
