Gu Nianci has been in Ping'an Town for more than three years. She looked up at the crisp autumn sky, Ping'an Town has the most beautiful maple leaves in the world, the leaves of this tree are beautiful red all year round, Gu Nianci doesn't know why it grows here, and why its leaves have been as gorgeous as a day for several years, but she can see that there is an earthbound spirit living under this tree nine times out of ten, but "he" or "she" has never appeared. This thing is very normal in Ping'an Town.

Ping'an Town has never been "popular", but if it comes to the festival of the world, it is also very lively.

Ping'an Town is the only town on the Ghost Domain Mountain, and it is the only place to pass through on the way to Huangquan. As a result, there are no "living people" in the true sense of the word. The Yin Cha of the Underworld and the Ten Yin Commanders live in this town. Those who have a family, most of them expand a place by themselves and build a house, and most of the single dogs who don't have a family live in Gu Nianci's Liuli Pavilion, of course, there are special exceptions to everything. Gu Nianci rarely saw those errands going out. At first, she would think that maybe they all woke up early, but over time, she didn't care, after all, they always paid their room bills on time every month.

Gu Nian'an was in such a beautiful and quiet afternoon, happily swayed into Gu Nianci's room on the second floor, and shouted excitedly, "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, go, there is tea to eat!" He also shook the tea tasting note in his hand. The appearance of opening teeth and dancing claws made Gu Nianci unbearable to look at directly.

Gu Nianci casually gave him a burst chestnut, "How many times have you said it, don't call me 'Jiaojiao' really..."Gu Nian'an touched his forehead, his face was full of grievances, and he looked like a bullied little daughter-in-law, "People... I used to call you like this..."Gu Nianci drew a few black lines on his head, pulled over the post, and didn't bother to talk to him.

The teahouse opposite opened, and the boss's taste was extraordinarily exquisite, and there was no lion dance and firecrackers, but a tea tasting sticker for the neighbors. On the yellowish blue pattern old paper, the elegant italic characters reveal a faint ink fragrance. Of course, this is all Gu Nian'an's idea, Gu Nianci has not been very interested in those so-called beautiful literati and ink writers since he was a child. In her opinion, it was just an old, yellowed post with an okay texture. Gu Nianci is always so illiterate. Gu Nian'an naturally didn't know Gu Nianci's inner thoughts, if the owner of this post knew that this good orchid paper was recognized as old paper, he was afraid that he would stomp his feet angrily. However, there is indeed a sentence on this post that is very popular with her: meet friends with tea, regardless of gold and silver

Gu Nianci doesn't like to drink tea, just because he is afraid of bitterness. When Gu Lifeng was alive, she wanted to cultivate the cultural heritage of her and Nian'an and let them learn some tea ceremony knowledge, but at that time, they only knew how to play, and had to drink those teas that were enjoyable in the eyes of grandpa, but torture in Gu Nianci's eyes, Nian'an threw a few pieces of sugar in her tea cup, and then, Gu Nianci gritted her teeth and closed her eyes and swallowed it. At that time, Gu Nianci thought that women should be cruel to themselves. Later, some people found that the taste of tea with sugar is really unique, and over time, this way of eating has become popular in Mo'an, and many daughters will add some sugar to the tea to show their uniqueness and playfulness and cuteness. But Gu Nianci, as the initiator, was only afraid of hardship.

Gu Nianci closed his eyes, the old days were gone, and it was just ordinary at that time.

Gu Nianci casually put the post on the table and said: "This new neighborhood, it's really polite, it's very elegant to meet friends with tea... Well... It's very elegant..."Before the words were finished, the glutinous rice had already rubbed at Gu Nianci's feet, and his head was rubbing vigorously, Gu Nianci looked at it, and his eyebrows trembled.

"Come on, Jiaojiao, you better take a look, we have something to make a meeting gift." Nian An has always been able to see through her pretense, interrupted her words, picked up the glutinous rice, and then touched the glutinous rice's chin, the glutinous rice enjoyed it very much, and simply nestled in his arms and let you touch it.

When Gu Nianci first came to Ping'an Town to build the Liuli Pavilion, there were two things that helped her attract a lot of customers. One is Gu Nian'an's floating brew, and the other is the little civet she picked up when she first entered Ping'an Town, because it was pure white, Gu Nianci named it "glutinous rice". Glutinous rice is similar to cats but different from cats, much larger than ordinary adult cats, delicious and lazy and coquettish, very agile, jumping extremely high, listening to people and being able to eat. If you can eat it, Gu Nianci doubts the meaning and value of its existence.

Gu Nianci took the little civet from Gu Nian'an's arms, asked Gu Nian'an to help her close the window, and then turned around and went downstairs.

Looking around the counter, Gu Nianci found that there were still 4 muffins bought from Liu Po the day before yesterday, so he put the glutinous rice on the counter, found a piece of oilskin paper, picked a red rope, and tied a bow neatly. Nuo Mi Yi grabbed Gu Nianci's sleeve with his paws, looked at her with black eyes, revealing the sincerity and subtlety of wanting to speak, and then rubbed it in the palm of her hand, Gu Nianci was about to give it a burst of impatience, this scene happened to be seen by Gu Nian'an, who had just come downstairs, and stopped him repeatedly, "Jiaojiao's subordinates are merciful, you see how reluctant Nuomi is to you, even if we just go to the opposite side of the door, it is so reluctant, what a spiritual little animal..."

Gu Nianci looked at his younger brother like a fool a little incredulously, his younger brother is so good, but he doesn't know where there is a string missing. Nuomi rolled her eyes at Gu Nian'an, and then secretly glanced at Gu Nianci. Gu Nianci glared at it, "I took the muffins I bought from Po Liu three days ago, and I bought them in the kitchen yesterday, I didn't take them." Nuomi instantly let go of Gu Nianci's sleeve, wagged her tail, jumped onto the beam, found a comfortable position, and lay down to rest.

Gu Nian'an looked up at the glutinous rice on the beam, and then at Gu Nianci, but the other party didn't help him find a way to go down the stairs. After a long time, Gu Nian'an touched his nose, and his dress was angry, "You... Jiaojiao... You.. How can you starve it to the point of no soul! ”

Soul? The most important thing in Ping'an Town is the "soul".

Over the years, Gu Nianci has taken care of the begonia tree alone, and has run a building with Gu Nian'an, which is very similar to the days when the two depended on each other in the past. For Gu Nianci, she felt very happy to see Gu Nian's lively appearance again. Although sometimes, Gu Nian'an always said some bastard things to anger her, she was still very happy. Although she paid a considerable price, she told Nian An to tell herself: to be content

Xu is Gu Nian'an felt that what he said was really not beautiful, his face was a little hot, he strode out of the door, and did not forget to turn around and shout into the house, "Jiaojiao, don't you want to visit your new neighbors, don't make people wait in a hurry..."

"Remembering the Past" as the name of a teahouse, it can't help but seem some... Sad. When Gu Nian'an saw this plaque, he shook his fan and looked like a hanger, and said with emotion: "The owner of this teahouse must be a person with a story." ”

Who can come to this town without a story?

Gu Nianci glanced at him and opened his mouth, Gu Nian'an, who was covered in blood in front of her that day, overlapped with the figure of the young man standing beside her at this time, Gu Nianci's pupils contracted uncontrollably, and those words that taunted him were stuck in his throat. Gu Nian'an entered Ping'an Town because of her. As the man said three years ago, he saved her from the disaster. If she hadn't been in a hurry to find an answer... Maybe... Everything will be different.

Casually put the greeting gift in his hand, Gu Nianci stepped into the teahouse one step ahead of him.

The teahouse is divided into two floors, two bamboo curtain boxes in the east, two mahogany tea tables in the south, footsteps from far and near on the mahogany stairs, the pace is not hurried, it can be seen that this person's mentality must be very good, the hem embroidered with green bamboo leaves is blown by the wind, in the teahouse where there are no guests, this must be the boss. The fine dust jumped happily in the sun, and the light leaking from the cracks in the house shook Gu Nianci's god, he stopped going downstairs, smiled at her, and was gentle: "Xie Bi'an, please take care of Miss Gu in the future." ”

The long-lost title made Gu Nianci think of Mo An. Once, there was also a person who was as gentle and elegant as the one in front of him, who was always dressed in white and always held a fan even in winter. She always laughed at him, saying that he was pretending, but... He died for her. Just because she insisted on asking for an answer that didn't matter at all, just because she believed the wrong person... Qin Zhen... Her lord...

Gone are the old days

was in a trance, only to see Gu Nian'an moving forward without recognizing, widening the distance between her and the person in front of her. "It's really strange, I didn't expect Bai Wuchang, the 'Top Ten Handsome', to open a teahouse opposite my house, it's really good Yaxing." Gu Nian'an's voice was a little cold, Gu Nianci hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes, turned out the etiquette that had not been used for a long time from his memory, and dressed elegantly: "Little girl Gu Nianci, run the Liuli Pavilion opposite." My lord... Long time no see. ”

Speaking of which, Xie Bi'an can barely be regarded as half of Gu Nianci's "benefactor". In order to save Gu Nian'an, Gu Nianci took the impermanent seal given to her by the man in black, and went to the Ghost Domain Mountain after a lot of hardships. If it weren't for Xie Bi'an's help, Gu Nianci would have been unable to find a dungeon after spending his entire life, let alone making a deal with that Hades.

Xie Bi'an smiled slightly: "Two, please upstairs." "Personable.

Gu Nian'an put the muffins from three days ago on the table, and walked upstairs first, "I want to see what this renovation looks like..."

Gu Nianci glared at him, but Gu Nian'an still couldn't see it, so he went up to the second floor ahead of the master. From the time he saw Xie Bi'an at the door, Gu Nian'an had been looking for fault. This is really not to blame Gu Nian'an for being unreasonable, from the first time he saw Xie Bi'an when he woke up in the Yama Palace, Gu Nian'an felt that he had bad intentions towards Gu Nianci. Later, they created the Liuli Pavilion, and they thought they would never see each other again, but they didn't expect... Under this cognition, it is strange that Gu Nianan can give him a good face. Xie Bi'an gave Gu Nian'an a very familiar feeling, which made Gu Nian'an very uncomfortable. Although Xie Bi'an had helped their sister and brother, he was afraid, he was afraid that Jiaojiao would be hurt again, so... He had to guard against it.

On an autumn afternoon, the wind blows, and the copper bells under the eaves outside the window make a crisp sound. I have to say that the tea house on the beveled side is really elegantly decorated. Gu Nian'an walked around the second floor, and suddenly remembered that Gu Nianci was alone with Xie Bi'an. I couldn't help but be a little annoyed. As soon as Gu Nian'an came, he saw Gu Nianci and Xie Bi'an sitting by the window, sitting next to Gu Nianci with an angry ass, staring directly at Xie Bi'an's face, Xie Bi'an was stared at by him, and coughed lightly, "Gu Gongzi, is my teahouse good?" "So-so." Gu Nian'an snorted. The decoration of this teahouse is really good, very elegant, but Gu Nianan always feels that something is missing. Xie Bi'an smiled and opened his mouth, leaving the topic aside, "Speaking of which, I don't have much to do in this teahouse, if I don't dislike it, Xie will personally make a pot of tea for the two of them to entertain the two." As he spoke, he took out a set of tea sets out of nowhere and began to boil water.

Thinking about her own meeting gift, Gu Nianci felt that she was really embarrassed, so she straightened up and said politely: "The little girl was negligent in visiting here, and she didn't prepare any meeting gifts for the adults, which is really rude." ”

Xie Bi'an smiled indifferently: "It's okay, it's better to ask for a few glasses of wine on the opposite side of the next day as compensation, right?" Xie Bi'an spoke, but the movements in his hands did not stop, and people like Rao Gu Nianci who did not understand tea could see that his attainments in tea ceremony were extremely high. The action was like a cloud of flowing water, a stream of tea entered the cup, and suddenly the room was overflowing with the fragrance of tea. Such a big action didn't spill a little of the tea in the pot, Gu Nian'an didn't say anything, but the amazing look in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Xie Bi'an's gestures made Gu Nianci feel very pleasing to the eye, probably because the layout of this teahouse was similar to that of the first-class tea house in Modu, he made her feel familiar but did not touch her sadness at all. Maybe it's because Xie Bi'an is like her lord, or maybe he is kind to their sister and brother.

The three of them were drinking tea near the window, and when they looked up, they could see the attic where Gu Nianci often sits. Gu Nian'an's face was a little ugly, he knew it! This wolf in a suave skin! He must have premeditated, he didn't believe in any coincidence! Just as he was about to speak, he saw Gu Nianci's warning eyes, closed his mouth silently, and waited for Xie Bi'an with an unhappy face, like a child with a temper, Gu Nianci quietly put his hand in Gu Nian'an's palm and pinched it. The bear child stopped for a while, Gu Nianci looked at him, and silently curled the corners of his mouth. Xie Bi'an, who was sitting opposite, had a full view of the movements of the two siblings, and no one noticed a dim light in his eyes.

Before leaving, Xie Bi'an also gave Gu Nianci two packs of the kind of tea they drank today, and Gu Nianci accepted it with a smile, "Lord Xie... Seriously... You're welcome. ”

"If you like it, get it when you're done."

The smiling face on Gu Nianci's face was a little unbearable, so she had to nod, "Thank you, Lord for your kindness... Little... The little girl's favorite... Such a tea up.."

Gu Nian'an stood next to him and muttered: "Jiaojiao has to put a piece of sugar on her daily drinking water, how can she love to drink your tea, it's really..."

The voice was not loud or small, Gu Nianci quickly turned his head and glared at him, so frightened that Gu Nianan took two steps back. Gu Nianci cautiously looked at the expression on Xie Bi'an's face, and the other party still smiled gently, as if he hadn't heard anything. Gu Nianci breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that this younger brother would say something again, so he hurriedly said goodbye, and the two of them replied.
