Chapter 15: The Feast of Wandering
The young man didn't talk much, so he turned into an alley with Ye Ziyi, and when he got out of the alley, it was a relatively quiet street.
"Look at you like this, it must be the first time you have arrived in Jiankang, hurry back to your residence, don't do anything again. The young man stood still, glanced at Ye Ziyi, and turned around to leave.
"That, what's your name?" Ye Ziyi stopped the young man and asked cautiously with his little head tilted.
"My name Xuan, do you have anything else?" Xuan crossed his arms and looked at Ye Ziyi, who had a sad face, and frowned slightly.
This young man named Xuan is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an angular face, phoenix eyes and sword eyebrows, thin lips tightly pursed, as if he is always unhappy, his eyes are a little light, close to golden, he always looks at people with a little coldness, Ye Ziyi's words made him choked, but he was a little speechless.
Seeing that Ye Ziyi lowered his head and didn't speak, Xuan was about to take a step again, how could Ye Ziyi let him go? Hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve.
"That, Brother Xuan, can you please help me find a place to live?"
"What, looking for where you live?" Xuan said, raising an eyebrow and looking her up and down. "You have nowhere to go?"
"Oh? no, no, that, I...... Lost......" Ye Ziyi looked up at her little face, blinked very pitifully, and her little black and yellow face had a pair of watery eyes, similar to a begging cat, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What a ...... you kid Okay, what is your place to live?" Xuan saw Ye Ziyi's blank face, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "You don't know nothing, do you? There are hundreds of inns of all sizes in Jiankang City, and I don't have time to walk through them all. ”
"I, I...... Think about it. Ye Ziyi thought for a long time and counted with her fingers. "There's a stall selling sugar cakes out of the place, and there's a wine shop diagonally opposite, and the mutton is very fragrant, huh...... By the way, there is also a shop that sells preserved fruit rock candy peanut sticky, and the little brother is very kind......"
Originally, Ye Ziyi was very happy, but seeing that Xuan's brows were getting tighter and tighter, her voice was getting quieter and quieter, she pointed her two thin index fingers, bit her lip and lowered her head.
"There aren't many places like this, and it's a shame that you remember those foods. As he spoke, Xuan raised his feet and left, with a trotting Ye Ziyi behind him, and after a while, he disappeared into the flow of people on the street.
This time, Ye Ziyi didn't have any thoughts, and stared at Xuan all the way, for fear of losing him, and it was rare for Xuan to be tall and easy to find, so he ran two streets with him, barely losing it.
"Huh, why are you here?"
Ye Ziyi was panting and running behind Xuan, coldly someone shouted, Xuan stopped, but Ye Ziyi couldn't stop for a while, and hit him at once, Xuan was as steady as a rock, Ye Ziyi almost fell to the ground with a bounce, rubbed his painful forehead, Ye Ziyi raised his eyes and saw that it was four Confucian men in cloth who were saluting Xuan.
"Aye?"
Hearing this call, Ye Ziyi's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly looked at the person who spoke, and at this look, her eyes became even brighter, and she jumped up and hugged the young Confucian scholar, and said with a crying voice. "Brother Yueren, I can find you, I'm scared to death, woo woo woo ......"
"Yong said that you were waiting at the inn, why did you come to this Changle Street?" Yue Ren smiled, patted Ye Ziyi's back, and stroked her hair. "Why are you with Xuan?"
"So you know each other. Xuan shook his head with a smile and said. "He saw a little blood and was frightened. ”
"Seeing blood?who is it?What's going on?" Yue Ren asked Xuan while coaxing Ye Ziyi, causing the three Confucian scholars next to him to frequently look at Ye Ziyi, who was stuck in Yue Ren's arms and refused to get up.
"It's just a reckless man, and he was taught a lesson by a passing son, so it's okay. Xuan glanced at Ye Ziyi, who was happily tired of being in Yue Ren's arms, and asked Yue Ren. "By the way, you 'Four Sons of the Southland' are gathered, but where are you going?"
"Gongzijiao invited the scribes today to make a feast, and we have nothing to do, so we will go and see. Xuan, if you have nothing to do, let's go and have a good time. As soon as Yue Ren's words fell, Ye Ziyi, who was nesting in his arms, raised his head.
"The Banquet of Liuyi, is it Qushui Liuzhen?Senior Brother, will I go too?" Seeing the disapproving look on Yue Ren's face, Ye Ziyi immediately straightened up. "Promise to be obedient!"
"This ......" Yue Ren hesitated slightly, and a blue-clothed Confucian next to him opened his mouth.
"Yue Ren, your little brother has just come to Jiankang, and he should also see the world, if not, it is not beautiful to walk around Beijing in the future. The man said, looking at Ye Ziyi twice. "You little brother, you look so familiar. ”
"You are the brother who came to Jiankang with the Wang caravan, right? This person Ye Ziyi remembered that it was the blue-clothed young man who threw up his sleeves when Meng Gong embarrassed her that day.
"Exactly, in the Lower East China Sea Xuling. Xu Ling returned the salute, helped Ye Ziyi and said with a smile. "We're really fated. ”
"But no, Brother Xu's demeanor has always made me unforgettable, I didn't expect to meet again, it's a blessing!" Ye Ziyi had a very good impression of this Xu Ling, that day he defended her pro-master Qu Gong, which really made her admire this person a little.
"Do you know each other?" Yue Ren was curious, looked at Xu Ling, and then at Ye Ziyi, and raised his eyebrows at her. "Ah Ye, how did you know Brother Zimu?"
"This matter, it's a long story, I'll tell you slowly when I go back, brother, brother, Brother Xu said I can go, brother, you just let me go, okay?" Ye Ziyi hugged Yue Ren's arm and behaved coquettishly, making herself almost goosebumps.
Yue Ren really felt ashamed, and Ye Ziyi said with a calm face. "Go and go, be honest, let's save some face for me!"
"Got it!" Ye Ziyi's eyes narrowed into two crescent moons with joy, and he pulled Yue Ren's arm but didn't let go.
Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud when Ye Ziyi was amused like this, and said to Yue Dao. "You little brother, you're a funny person. ”
"This little ...... Son, it's all because her family is spoiled, it's just a matter of being confused, and she usually causes trouble, Brother Xuan, if he has no intention of offending you, he will bother you to forgive me. Yue Ren said, and waved towards Xuan.
Seeing Yue Ren like this, Xuan hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it and returned the salute. "This little brother is just a childish man, the more human, you don't have to be like this. ”
"Ah Ye has just entered Jiankang, and he will rely on you to take care of him in the future, Yue Ren's gesture is not a false courtesy, Xuan, from today on, you are also Ah Ye's brother, but I want to bother you to take care of him more in the future. Yue Ren's words were heavy, and several people didn't expect him to say this, seeing that Xuan and the three Confucian scholars nodded in response, Yue Ren smiled at this time.
"Don't worry, your brother is our brother, and you are afraid that someone will bully you? In addition to Ling, he looked like he couldn't cry or laugh, and patted Yue Ren's arm and said. "Let's go, let's talk about it, I'm afraid we will even have to give birth to a son in the future. ”
"Not necessarily. As soon as Yue Ren said it seriously, he was punched by another Confucian scholar.
Everyone giggled, laughed and walked in the direction of Dongcheng.
