Chapter 34: Tea Gathering
Tu Xiuwen didn't answer Zi Shumo immediately, but lowered her head and fiddled with her mobile phone, and replied after a while:
"Let's go, go to the third floor! Qudian, please drink tea! ”
Going up the stairs to the third floor, the layout here is quite elegant.
As soon as you go upstairs, you can see a screen, on which is the portrait of the drama character drawn by the heavy color brush, the brushwork is delicate, the painting is exquisite, the coloring is bold, the character looks fresh and distinctive, look at the payment carefully, it is the work of Mr. Tu!
Seeing Zi Shumo staring at the screen non-stop, Tu Xiuwen whispered: "My grandfather loves to watch dramas very much, and he has a good relationship with Old Man Qu, which was discussed with my grandfather when the Qu family class renovated the theater building five years ago. ”
"Your grandfather is a bit of a good painter!"
"That's, and he's self-taught! However, I heard that a few decades ago, he once learned a little bit from someone, and since then he has been practicing this on his own. Tu Xiuwen looked a little proud when she talked about her grandfather.
Zi Shumo didn't quite understand what kind of emotion it was, but seeing her inexplicably cute little smug look, he couldn't help but smile.
On both sides of the screen are two huge white porcelain flower pots, which are planted with five-needle pines, and the pine trees are dignified in shape.
Bypassing the screen, you will see a patio, in the middle of which there is a shallow artificial lotus pond, real and fake lotus flowers are mixed together, and from time to time you can see oily and slippery koi fish swimming through the lotus leaves.
There is a rockery in the pond, and all kinds of bryophytes grow luxuriantly on the rockery, and there are miniature pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, which is quite interesting to look at.
There are tables and chairs for people to drink tea next to the pond, and even though it is winter, there are many people sitting there drinking tea and chatting happily.
The patio is not as cold as you might think, thanks to the dedicated outdoor heater next to each table.
Surrounding the patio are individual wings with doors leading to the outer corridors in the north, south, south, and east directions.
Standing in the outer corridor, you can see the entire ancient street.
In addition to the operation room of the tea room, there is a wooden sign hanging on the door of each small room, and there is a face mask on the wooden card, and under it is the name of the opera, such as "Dingjun Mountain", "Jinyang Palace", "Money Leopard", "Zhuangyuan Yin" and so on.
While the two were looking, a girl wearing a blue and white floral cotton jacket, a dark gray linen apron tied around her waist, and two long waist-length braids with a shiny oil comb greeted her.
"Stoic Ao Jiawa (it's Miss Tu, right)?" The girl applied a little powder, her cheeks were ruddy, and her voice was crisp, but the words still made Zishumo feel "empty ears".
Tu Xiuwen understood, nodded with a smile, and followed the girl to the small private room on the side.
The girl stopped in front of a room with a sign of "Yutang Chun", introduced the two into the room, arranged refreshments, said that Qu Dian had ordered them, asked them to wait, and left the room.
The interior of the wing room is warmer than the patio, and the view from the outside can be clearly seen through the glass-inlaid antique wooden window lattice. There are several layers of emerald veils hanging on the windows, and the color changes from light to dark, and it looks quite layered.
Vintage mahogany furniture is topped with brocade upholstery, and a dark blue embroidered table runner is laid on the table, on which are tea sets are placed. There is a flower stand against the wall, and a few white plums are inserted in the jasper porcelain vase on the flower stand, and the fragrance of plum blossoms can be smelled in the house from time to time.
Tea sets, paper towels and other supplies are displayed in the improved chest of drawers against the wall for guests to take at will, some antique ornaments and some old books are placed on the Bogu shelves for people to see, and ink paintings are hung on the walls.
The color of the whole room is mainly emerald color, light and elegant, and the melodious guqin sound comes from nowhere, looming, which makes people feel like a dream.
A palm-sized control panel next to the door alerts guests that "you're not crossing" and can be used to detect and control the temperature and humidity in the room, as well as call the waiter and control the background music.
Zi Shumo carefully inspected the whole room before sitting down at the table, Tu Xiuwen had already taken off her coat, wearing a snow-white high-neck ruffled shirt inside, the design of the cuffs was very distinctive, like a horn that was tied up, playful and cute, and a pink fishtail skirt around her waist made up for her slender figure just right, making her figure look exquisite.
She wears a pair of leather-pink snow boots with wedges, and a small piece of white knitted socks at the cuff of the boots echoes the top. I have to say that this butcher lady knows how to dress herself very well, and she can wear all kinds of clothes.
The two of them had just sat down for a moment when there was the sound of unhurried footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock on the door, and before anyone could answer, the door was pushed open.
Qudian wore a well-cut black tweed coat with a maroon knitted scarf wrapped around his neck. The handsome face was slightly flushed, which should have been left after hastily removing makeup. The slightly curly hair was slightly damp, lying listlessly on top of his head, but it showed off his vigorous hair volume even more.
Inside the open coat is a sweatshirt printed with trendy graffiti, and a pair of eye-catching AJs at the feet. This indecent outfit may be looked down upon by others when it is put on others, but it has a unique flavor when worn on Qudian, and sure enough, people with outstanding appearance and figure have the capital to dress casually.
Zi Shumo looked at Qu Dian, and couldn't associate the handsome him at the moment with the charming iron fan princess on the stage just now, this is probably the strength of the actor, right? Zi Shumo thought to himself, and said hello to Qu Dian with a smile.
Qu Dian did not respond to him enthusiastically, sat down on the other side of the table, and the three of them each occupied one side of the tea table, and exchanged a few words of greeting without embarrassment, and the topic naturally turned to the incredible things that had happened in the past two days.
didn't try to pretend to be sad about Qin Yi's death, and even looked a little contemptuous:
"Qin Yi is actually not bad, but he is a little demon, as if he feels that his beauty is invincible in the world, alas. In this world, the most terrible thing is not to be ugly, but to be ugly and not know that you have to do it, but it's disgusting. I don't want to speak ill of her behind her back, I just think that even if she is bad in this way, she will not be guilty of death! ”
"That's it, I really can't think of who would kill her!" Tu Xiuwen lowered her eyelids and said in a slightly sad tone.
"If you want me to see, in addition to being a demon, she is a swagger." Qu Dian leaned back, then changed to a more comfortable position, reclining to the side, and most of his whole body was facing Tu Xiuwen.
"You mean she's offended?" Tu Xiuwen asked with one hand on her cheek and the teacup on the table with the other.
"I can't say that I offend people, but I like gossip too much, and I love to tell right and wrong." Qu Dian said lightly.
Zi Shumo recalled that night in Hall K, Qin Yi asked Qu Dian to accompany her for a drink. Although Qu Dian kept his promise at that time and drank with Qin Yi very gracefully, he should be extremely reluctant and even disdainful in his heart, right?
However, Qu Dian should not kill people because of such a thing, as a seven-year-old who performed on stage and studied in the acting department, he needs to socialize and face a lot of things he doesn't want to do, if he kills because of this kind of thing, I'm afraid that the place where he has passed will already be full of corpses.
