After Pan Mingzhong walked out of the hall, he did not go back immediately, but walked through the corridor with Snow Lotus to a deep and clear bamboo forest realm.

The bamboo here is tall and tall, competing with each other; The summer is scorching, the sun is shining, the green bamboo is shining, and the gold is melted everywhere; The wind is green, swaying, and the sand is singing.

They walked on the cobblestone path deep in the bamboo forest, feeling the rare cool summer and thick greenery, and strolled to the small wooden house not far away. There is a black plaque on the elegant and slightly old wooden house, on which are written in delicate ink with the three large characters "Youchasha". They took one look at it and walked into the house.

This lodge was specially made by her mother when she was alive, and since her death, this cottage has become hers, and it also contains her mother's belongings during her lifetime. She has not had a deep relationship with her sisters, and the cottage is claustrophobic all the year round, and no outsiders have ever come, and she has never received visitors.

In her spare time, when she is in a bad mood or when she misses her mother, she will come here to seek a moment of peace and comfort for her soul, so this is her spiritual refuge.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw that the windows were closed, the light was weak, and the air was a little unpleasant, so she walked to the cross begonia sill window and opened the window, and then walked to the carved gold rosewood tea table and sat down on her knees.

Xue Lian is an elf person, seeing her action, she knew that she was going to taste tea, so she took the initiative to take out Guanyin cake tea from a beautifully shaped ice plum pattern blue and white porcelain jar, in order to be more sure, she asked: "Girl, is it the same as usual?" ”

She said "um" and looked at a portrait of a woman on the white wall. And when Xuelian heard her answer, she continued to do related things.

The woman in the portrait is charming and extraordinary, with a hint of heroism, exuding a glamorous, cold, and proud temperament, she is her mother. Looking at it, she unconsciously took out the embroidered bag, poured out a delicate texture of the overall exquisite Hetian white jade dragon hanging jade plate, played with it, this is her mother left her before her death, whenever she is in a bad mood she likes to take out to see for a while, looking at this jade card, she will get a little spiritual comfort. After a while, she put it back in her pouch and began to make tea with Snow Lotus.

Snow lotus crushes the cake and tea and sifts out the moderate particles with a basket, and then puts an appropriate amount of salt into the boiling mountain spring water in the shape of a "fish eye".

And Ming Zhong solemnly fanned the fire and watched the heat in the kettle.

In an instant, the edge of the edge was like a spring, so she scooped a scoop of hot water and placed it in a cooked bowl, and stirred it rhythmically in the same direction with a clamp, and added tea leaves when there was a whirlpool; Then, when it comes to the third boiling of the "Tengbo Drum Wave", the water is put back in and then brought out of the kettle.

Snow Lotus poured the tea into a bright and icy Yue porcelain lotus blue glazed porcelain bowl, while Ming Zhong quietly looked at the tea in the bowl.

It is said that tea is rewarded for bosom friends, and it is said that enjoying the fun of drinking tea is like enjoying the wind and snow, and you must have a partner. She used to be alone, but she didn't care much, but now she is a little lonely, and she inexplicably hopes that the person who accompanied her to taste tea is the beautiful man she saw this morning. So she sighed helplessly.

At this time, there was a man standing outside the window, he looked at the girl who was thinking in the room, and suddenly smiled: "Cousin is so interested, can you reward me with a bowl?" Tea needs to be sorbid, the most taboo is restless, could it be that you have something on your mind? Tell me about it. ”

A few words brought her back to her senses, and she couldn't help but look out the window: the man outside the window had a smile on his lips, his lips were red and his teeth were white, his ink eyes were full of spring, and he was handsome and extraordinary. At this time, he was smiling, and even the scorching sun in the sky was not as bright as his smile, and it was easy for people to stick their eyes to him and be reluctant to take them off. He stands like a Laneige jade tree, commensurate with the tall green bamboo around it, like a beautiful picture.

She looked at him in a daze for a moment, rubbed her eyes again, as if she didn't believe it, and then remembered what he said, her cheeks were red, her eyes were round, and her speech was slightly stumbling: "Cousin, cousin, you're here!" Yes, tea. With that, he nervously pushed a bowl of tea to the opposite side of the table.

She then added, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a few things!" ”

"Well, I live very close to here, and I happened to pass by here, and I saw you making tea in the house outside the window, so I came to take a look." At this time, Lin Jingmao had already entered the house, walked to her opposite and sat down on his knees, picked up the tea bowl, turned the bowl to shake the incense, and took a sip gently: "Well, yes, the tea soup is slightly yellow, clear and bright, fragrant, mellow and sweet, good tea!" ”

"Cousin doesn't need to be praised, it's just a small skill of carving insects, not enough to worry about! But cousin, you're the first person to ask me for tea. Ming Zhong took a sip and said with a smile.

He also smiled: "Cousin is humble!" But it's my honor to be the first to be you. ”

While she blushed, she glanced at him and thought for a moment: "Cousin is a friend who is in love?" ”

He looked at her, a little puzzled, "Well, there are one or two." In fact, it is more of a friend of wine and meat, a nod friend in the officialdom, people in the world come and go for profit, and they are separated for profit, and it is not easy to manage a real lasting affection. Why do you ask? ”

She sighed: "It's good, I'm a little envious of you." Since I was a child, I have had few friends, and although there are many sisters in my family, because of the difference between my mothers, and the desire to be favored by my father, it is inevitable that when we play together, we will inevitably have some petty temperament, and there is not much sincerity to speak of. In ancient books, it is said that a scholar dies for a confidant, and some people often say that a good player is willing to go thousands of miles to meet a bosom friend, and when he tastes tea alone, he feels lonely, so he hopes to have a person who is in love with him as a companion. I suddenly thought that you were around, so I asked you. After saying that, I glanced at him.

He said leisurely, like a jade falling on a jade plate, pleasant to the ear: "Well, it's good to have a bosom friend, but the important thing is the person's state of mind." Enjoying a thing, the mood is the most important, and to be accompanied by a like-minded friend, people's interest is high, and they can better appreciate the fun of playing and the meaning of life, so people often sigh that they wish to have a confidant and die without regrets. ”

She suddenly understood, her heart raced, and she looked at him with a burning and slightly grateful gaze: "Well, it is true! ”

He found that she was looking at him like a torch, he was embarrassed to look back, so he looked around, he suddenly moved his gaze to the portrait on the wall, stared at it for a long time, something seemed to flash in his eyes, but the transformation was too fast to capture, he suddenly said: "Dare to ask cousin, who is the wonderful person on this portrait?" ”

She also looked at the portrait: "Oh, she's my mother, but she's dead." Then he lowered his eyes and hid a trace of loneliness.

He smiled awkwardly: "I'm really embarrassed, I was abrupt!" ”

She also smiled: "It's okay, cousin, I don't mind!" ”

He couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes, and then said: "My mother passed away a few years ago, and now we are suffering from the same disease. ”

She also has a heart-to-heart feeling, and she has a sense of heart-to-heart when she looks at him.

He stood up suddenly and said coldly, "Well, thank you for your hospitality!" It's not good to stay here too long, so I'll leave first. ”

She also stood up: "Well, cousin, go slowly!" ”

He nodded to her, then walked away. walked freely, elegantly, without a trace of affection, without leaving a trace, leaving her alone to look at the direction of his departure, unable to return to her senses for a long time.

Xue Lian looked at her like this, and teased: "Girl, everyone is gone, what are you still watching!" ”

She blushed suddenly, looked back, glared at her again, and looked at her again.
