Chapter 15: The Arrival of the Guest
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, Zhezhe can't sleep well every night, turning over and over, although there is a gauze tent, wormwood, no mosquitoes, and bamboo chips on the bed, but the heat on his body is always pasted wherever he goes, and he feels that there is a fire.
Although nowadays, the clothes are worn less and lighter, but there are still three layers, and when you get up every day and wear it well, it is already sticky, washing, eating, talking, no matter what you do, you can make your body sweat uncontrollably.
Zhezhe is very upset, the happiest time every day is the time to take a bath, I always feel that every day soaked in sweat, simmering for another day, not until the evening, the body is sour, very smoky. Ah Wan and Ah Ru thought that the washing place was not in the wing, and they wanted to wash it more during the day, but they were not allowed to go, saying that they were walking back and forth, which was the same as not washing. Zhezhe had no choice but to give up, lying dormant in the wing room every day, wishing he could lie on the ground, motionless, and just survive this summer.
Yin Si would come over every day, and after that day in Liantang, he would come to see Zhezhe again, and he would not wear a mask.
In the morning, the words are written for an hour, and then Yin Si will tell her some books, and the two of them talk with each other, but it is also comfortable. Yin Si talked about the book, thousands of times better than Yan Dao, spit out words like an orchid, and said the words and sentences in the book that were difficult to understand, and Zhe Zhe didn't have to do anything, just sit there and listen, if there are any questions, ask, Yin Si also answered one by one.
In the afternoon class, Aunt Mei came for a few days, and said that the dog days were too hot, and she still had business in the store, so she took a leave, and Yin Si came to teach her later. Zhezhe knows that Aunt Mei is not a Taoist person, it is so hot outside, and it is strange that it is hard to come here every day, if you don't come, you won't come, whether it is Yin Sijiao, he is so smart, it seems that he can do anything.
In fact, Yin Si really knows everything, playing the piano, pleasant to the ear, twisting the brush, painting what is like, holding the chess pieces, and winning her lightly. Zhezhe plays the piano with him every day, and if he is a little distracted, he will be discovered by Yin Si, this piano, in this hot afternoon, over and over again, also makes Zhezhe play better. As for painting, for a few days, it is not so ugly to paint, but it is also ordinary, there is nothing brilliant, and playing chess, Zhezhe is the most headache, Yin Si always said, chess is like life, every time she plays chess, it is unorganized, what comes to mind is what is what, too stupid. Zhezhe argued with him several times, this is just a pastime, as long as you know the rules, how can victory or defeat be so important! Besides, even if she has the desire to win, she will let him wear it out.
It's a hot day, what do you want to win, do you want to make yourself bored and even hoter?
Zhezhe looks at Yin Si every day, and after watching it for a long time, the previous worries and thoughts were left behind by her, she is a person, and she always forgets the pain of the scar so well.
Those words on the lotus pond, I was ashamed for three days, and after looking at the indifferent Yin Si for five days, I slowly felt that the things of that day were just that the wind was good and the good people were drunk, and the two of them made a joke, and now Yin Si has no other movements, she also pretends to be confused, the days will go on, and he has to teach himself again, he can't hide and hide, it's better to face it with a thick skin!
If you really have any ideas, just mess around and fool around, those sub-promises, she doesn't have that idea.
In this way, she is very arrogant, and she is back again, a few days later, Yin Si said something about her, provoked her to disagree, and dared to go back directly, the first few times, I was worried that Yin Si would scold him, but in fact, Yin Si did not blame her, gradually, she became a lot bolder, not only will she talk back, but what she thinks in her head, she will also open her mouth.
Yin Si didn't refute what she said, right or wrong, every time he elbowed his head, leaned on the other side of the table, looked at her indifferently, listened to her, and only replied to his thoughts after speaking, so back and forth, Zhezhe can finally understand some of his attitudes towards people and things, so thinking about it, she also feels that she is quite smart and can see people!
didn't know that she was so straightforward, but in just one day, Yin Si saw her thoroughly.
There is no scheming revenge, there is no grand show, the pattern is in front of you, everything wants to be perfect, and you want to do the preferred ending. At best, it's innocent and innocent, and at worst, it's stupid and brainless.
Yin Si felt that his head was big, the last time they met, it was obviously not like this, although there was no grand show, but the backbone of the person was there, Ling Mei was proud of the snow, and the fragrance was in full bloom. Now that she is so confused, there is still a long way to go to return to before, and there are still many misunderstandings to correct with her.
Yin Si doesn't think about her every day, and it takes a long time to say goodbye, and this girl, I explained it to her today, and after two days, I went back in a daze, Yin Si looked at her, and I didn't know whether I was angry or helpless, and I always felt a headache.
But even if it was a headache, she was so angry with her, Yin Si also felt that she was happy this day. Such days, repeated every day, he did not feel haggard, did not feel hopeless, but could always see desire on that face covered with all emotions.
It would be good if she could live with her like this, whether she was confused, whether she had no thoughts or desires, no matter what, as long as they were in one place, he could protect her. Protecting her innocence at the moment, protecting her for a lifetime, she is by her side, no matter what it looks like, he feels at ease.
She is there, it is this hot summer, the heat is unbearable, as long as he sees her, his heart is calm, as if he has found a corner of Guining, all kinds of things in this world, deceitful and sinister, are all scattered.
When the time comes, everything is stable, he will take her to retreat, find a quiet house, and live like this every day, like an ordinary husband and wife, raise their eyebrows, grow old together, then this life is not in vain.
Yin Si thought, watched, read every day, looked at Zhezhe's eyes, deeper and deeper day by day, like a fox who identified his prey, hiding cunning, but still calm.
Zhezhe is a big grin, no mind person, she didn't see anything not to say, but the more she got along with Yin Si, the better Yin Si treated her, the more she couldn't help but come to rely on, come to please, gradually, I don't know, how much of my behavior, words, in this world, for men, is a kind of love words.
On this day, I finally got the glory of leisure, and I thought of the little apprentice who hadn't seen me for a long time, I don't know if she hadn't seen her for so long, did she talk about herself?
How is her nephew getting along with her, is he still elm pimple?
Dog days, so hot, I don't know if the little apprentice is forced by his nephew to learn that, is he in a bad mood and needs to be explained?
Yesterday, he was invited to the Gongbo's Mansion and got some requests, and he had to discuss with Yin Si here, but he didn't see anyone else after looking around.
In the dog afternoon, when it was the most sultry, and I didn't know where he went, Ku Rong drank tea in the house for a while, and when it was cooler, he took a pu fan, and while fanning it, he went to Zhezhe's wing.
Before he reached the door, he heard the sound of the piano from a distance, and he was more diligent than before, and he leaned against the pillar and listened to a song, and waited until the sound of the piano dissipated, and did not make any more sounds, and then he was ready to enter the door.
This Aunt Mei, it is not easy to come back on dog days, and she teaches the little apprentice so well, what's the matter, she has to pay more silver, Ku Rong shook his head, and entered the wing room and went behind the screen.
I saw two backs, a man and a woman, leaning in front of the desk, the man behind, wrapping around the woman's body, holding her hand with one hand, with her fingertips, letting the pen and ink smudge on the paper, bowing her head in her ear and saying how to walk the pen, the woman focused on the strength in her hand, stared at the painting under the pen, and nodded seriously.
It was Yin Si who was teaching Zhezhe to paint.
Ku Rong didn't step on it steadily, and with a bang, he fell and gnawed on the mud.
The voice was so loud that the two people who were painting turned their heads at the same time and saw him.
"Master?" Zhezhe looked at Ku Rong, who had not been seen for a long time, his face was full of joy, and he threw the pen to the side indiscriminately, and the person walked this way, stretched out his hand to help, and was still stupid and lying on the ground.
Yin Si glanced at the people on the ground, didn't speak, went to wash the pen that Zhezhe had thrown indiscriminately in the water, and hung it back on the pen stand.
Ku Rong was still shocked in his heart, but fortunately, after seeing Zhezhe's people coming, he restrained the expression on his face, smiled, and got up with Zhezhe's arm, and patted the ashes on his body very calmly.
Okay, you sanctimonious nephew, a few days ago, I also said righteously that I just love talent, and today people are going to stick together, blue sky and white sun, Qingqing and me, if it weren't for my whim today, I don't know that your kid has become a matter of course!
"Master, where have you been these days? I looked for you, but I couldn't find you! Zhezhe helped Kurong and let him do it on the chair next to him.
"The master went to practice, and the cultivation went," Ku Rong smiled, looked at Yin Si, with an expression on his face, and said, good guy, you are very fast!
"Practicing for so long? Dog days too? Zhezhe thought of the scorching sun outside and shook his head, it was really hard.
"Practice, regardless of the weather," Yin Si smiled, "Little apprentice, how are you doing lately?" ”
Zhezhe nodded, and talked about these days, how he studied hard, how Yin Si taught, Aunt Mei asked for leave and didn't come, Yin Si knew everything, and taught her patience and responsibility, all of them.
Ku Rong listened while shaking his head, his eyes were dripping, he looked at Zhezhe for a while, looked at Ku Rong for a while, didn't say anything on his lips, and his heart was full of joy.
Although his nephew is duplicitous, hiding from himself and kidnapping his little apprentice, how to say it, one is a nephew and the other is an apprentice! The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and the fat and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.
The nephew has this little apprentice in his heart, he knows that he was duplicitous before, he looked at it and was very flustered, and the little apprentice was stupid, originally in this view, there was nothing to worry about, and he was looking forward to it for a long time, who knows, Liang Zhecheng ran out, so he was a little worried.
Thinking about it, the ignition before he came worked, he was not there, and he nagged day by day, but his nephew woke up and knew his mind.
Look at the little apprentice with an adoring face, open and close his mouth, all of them are senior brothers, last time he didn't speak to his nephew, but now he is this nephew in his heart, and the two of them are so intimate, I think it is, he is not in these days, what happened to them.
"Little apprentice, you and your senior brother are really good now," Ku Rong smiled and narrowed his eyes, "I remember, the last time I went out, you didn't talk to him!" ”
"Senior brother taught me things, he is so good to me, I talk to him, if there is anything I don't understand in my studies, I can ask directly," Zhezhe nodded, "Besides, you are not here, no one talks to me, and it is quite boring." ”
"Really? So that's the reason? Ku Rong deliberately raised his voice and looked at Yin Si, "You didn't happen anything else, just to study?" ”
"I remember that you don't like to study much," Ku Rong turned his face to look at Zhezhe, "You talk to me, or because of roast chicken, did your senior brother give you any benefits?" ”
"No," Zhezhe immediately denied, shaking her head non-stop, she opened her mouth to talk to Yinsi, in fact, because it was in the lotus pond that day. What happened in the lotus pond that day, Yin Si said, God knows that you know and I know, she doesn't dare to talk about it casually, and she doesn't want to talk about it casually, so that the master knows the misunderstanding.
"Really? For no other reason? "Kurong doesn't believe it, go see Yinsi.
Zhezhe pulled his sleeve and explained, "There is really no other reason, that is, the senior brother is very good, he is good, I believe him, so I will talk to him!" ”
"Tsk, do you believe him?" Ku Rong is speechless, why does this sound so crooked, his little apprentice, is really sultry, believe him, say it so bluntly, are you afraid that he didn't guess it?
"What's the matter with you coming back?" Seeing him so joking, Yin Si on the side finally spoke, "Are you here to find me?" ”
"Yes and no," Ku Rong nodded, pursed his lips, and shook his head, "I'm looking for a little apprentice and chatting with her right now!" ”
"Then let's talk," Yin Si did on the stool on the other side, and did not say to avoid suspicion, but looked at Kurong with an indifferent face.
"Chat, looking for me?" Zhezhe pointed to her nose, to be honest, she did have a lot of things to say to Ku Rong, and a lot of questions to ask him, but when she saw Yin Si on the side, she still kept her mouth shut.
I don't know why, although Yin Si is very good to her, and she gets along with him very easily, but like asking about something, Zhezhe still doesn't dare to ask him.
"Yes, I brought the message for your parents," Ku Rong nodded, "They originally promised you to stay until the autumn cool and then go back, but yesterday they came to me again and said something that I need to talk to you." ”
"What?" Zhezhe's heart suddenly came up, wouldn't it be for me to start today, or go back to the house to live, get up early and return late every day, right?
Outside, it's so hot, get up early and return late, you'll die!
"That's the case, in a few days, there will be some guests in this temple, and it just so happens that your sister is also there, and the uncle and his wife are thinking, let you live with your sister," Ku Rong said, "They are saying, your sister is going to get married after the autumn, thinking that before she leaves the cabinet, you can get close and close again, and in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to meet!" ”
"I'm here to ask you what you mean, what do you think?" Seeing that she didn't answer, Ku Rong thought she was worried, and explained, "Don't worry, if you feel inconvenient, I'll let the person in charge arrange for her to live in the guest room, the side room you live in is not in the same place as the guest room, don't worry." ”
"I know," Zhezhe didn't know where she was, she didn't speak because she thought of the time when they met Xin Xin before, the two of them broke up unhappily, and thought of what Xin Xin said before. She must have known something. If you live with her, maybe you'll know something more!
Zhezhe looked down at the bell on her waist, thoughtful, and now it seems that she only has a third plan to go. If you want to return to your soul, you have to find out what happened between the three of them?
Although, she was a little afraid, a little worried, afraid that she would show her feet to Xin Xin, worried that she would not be able to get any information, but sold herself, so what should she do?
"It's good to live in one place," Yin Si seemed to see through Zhezhe's hesitation, "Your sister, I know you very well, just enough to see your achievements these days." ”
"If you can hide it from her, you don't have to be afraid of others in the future," Yin Si looked at her, "Don't be afraid of others, we can move back on the plans behind us." ”
"What's next?" Zhezhe looked at Yin Si in a daze, did he mean the first plan, learn the Taoist Immortal Technique, and overdo it for Gongbo Zhezhe? If she agreed, Xin Xin didn't see her flaws, and let her know something she wanted to know, wouldn't this be a profitable deal that killed two birds with one stone?
Zhezhe was a little moved, but also a little worried, if I was recognized again, and I didn't say anything, how could it be good? Will he be locked up again to exorcise evil spirits?
"You don't have to worry, what will happen if you fail," Yin Si looked back at her eyes, full of certainty, "You believe me, don't you?" ”
I believe him, this is what Zhezhe just said to Ku Rong, she looked at Yin Si, I don't know why, there was a landing in her heart, like there was a rope in mid-air, she didn't hesitate or be afraid, and nodded, "Then let's live together!" ”
"One more point," waiting for the two of them to finish getting tired, Ku Rong looked at Yin Si and opened his mouth, "The prince's mansion has a letter, saying that the princes are going to come to practice for ten days, what do you think?" ”
"If you come, you will be safe," Yin Si is not worried.
"In this practice, all the people invited are some young ladies and young ladies of the child, and there is no shortage of familiar faces," Ku Rong stopped talking, frowned for a while, and then said to Zhezhe, "The brother-in-law of the prince you said last time is also coming!" ”
"I know," a letter from the Prince's Mansion, the eldest brother-in-law of the prince is from the Prince's Mansion, this is not very normal, it's just, when I heard this, Xin Xin seemed to be invited over with this oil head, "My sister came over, is it because of this?" ”
"That's the case," Ku Rong nodded, "The daughter of the Prince's Mansion went to the Gongbo's Mansion to invite your sister as a guest, I don't know how many times, but they were all rejected, but before the two got married, according to the rules, they still had to meet and nod their heads in person, otherwise, they would always be idle by the people in the market." ”
"Sure enough," Zhezhe knew that her sister didn't like the eldest brother-in-law, but the eldest brother-in-law liked her sister, and the last time she asked for her help, she had to run fast.
