Chapter Ninety-Nine: Companion Enters Beijing
Yu Mingxi glared back at Ruoping, with a look of unkind if you don't let go of the way.
Mo Li looked at the cockfighting appearance of the two, and couldn't help but have black lines on his head, did these two have a grudge before? In this way, the two of them have to fight.
So she pulled Ruoping's sleeve and signaled her not to be rude, Ruoping also knew that it was very inappropriate to have an argument with Yu Mingxi on this occasion, so he retreated half a step to the side, but his eyes were still staring at Yu Mingxi.
Mo Li laughed twice: "Am I disturbing Brother Mingxi to talk about business?" ”
Yu Mingxi withdrew his gaze from Ruoping's face, waved his hand again and again, and said, "No, no, everything that should be talked about is almost over." Let's go to the teahouse in front and sit down and talk. ”
After that, he instructed the guy: "Tell your shopkeeper, I'll go first, and hurry up and do what needs to be done." ”
The guy nodded hurriedly in response, thinking that it was best for these masters to leave quickly, but don't make trouble here.
Yu Mingxi took Mo Li out of the Meici Xuan, pointed to a teahouse not far in front of him and said, "Moxi, let's go sit there."
When he arrived at the teahouse, the guy saw that it was Yu Mingxi who came up from afar: "Yu Gongzi came early today, and the private rooms upstairs are still empty, you can pick and choose." ”
"Let's go to Mingxiang Pavilion, where the scenery is good. Give Ben Gongzi a pot of peacock's tongue, and send a few more good fruits. Tell the shopkeeper that you don't need to come over to say hello, I chatted with my friends. Yu Mingxi said and threw a piece of broken silver out.
The guy caught it with his hands and feet, and smiled like a flower on his face: "Thank you for the reward of Yu Gongzi, you two upstairs please!" ”
Following the guy all the way to the third floor, Mo Li couldn't help but sigh secretly, the decoration of this teahouse is really better than the first floor. If the first floor is quaint and the second floor is elegant, the third floor can only be described as luxurious.
On the third floor, there is a straight corridor paved with mahogany floors, with carved mahogany doors on each side and at the end, flanked by red-on-gold couplets, freehand landscape paintings hanging on the walls, and glass lamps shining overhead.
On the door at the end of the corridor hung a small ebony sign with the words "Mingxiang Pavilion" written on it. Entering the house, a pear marble eight-sided table is placed in the center, surrounded by six Taishi chairs, and in the middle of the table is a porcelain white jade seven-colored vase with several dragon sand gem moon flowers.
Behind the openwork moon door partition on one side is an intricately carved mahogany arhat bed, covered with soft cushions woven with brocade flowers, and on a small kang table in the middle is a set of exquisite porcelain tea sets. On the wall behind the Luohan bed is a picture of a rich peony the same width as the bed.
On the other side is a whole row of Bogu shelves, on which are placed all kinds of porcelain, pastel hollow turning-heart bottles, Tianqing glazed lotus wash, blue and white rich peony jars, gold-painted flowers and birds amphorae...... Dazzling and everything.
Directly opposite the gate are two carved wooden windows, and the sunlight is pouring in through the windows. The scent of flowers, tea and a hint of sandalwood fills the air, adding a touch of luxury to the room.
Yu Mingxi entered the house and directly pushed open the carved window, and Mo Li also followed to stand in front of the window, outside the window was a courtyard, and the courtyard was full of flowers and plants. A stone path runs through the middle of the courtyard and connects with a promenade over the small lake, at the end of which is a hexagonal cornice.
Looking further away, I saw clouds and mist lingering, mountains and mountains, and rolling mountains looming in the misty clouds and smoke.
"There's a lot of dolomite there." Yu Mingxi pointed to the distant mountains and said.
"Dolomite? Is it used for refining porcelain? Mo Li asked.
Yu Mingxi nodded: "Yes, it is the main raw material for making porcelain." The white clay of Pingyi Town is white, delicate and soft, so the porcelain made here is better than other places in terms of texture. Moreover, Pingyi porcelain has a long history of making porcelain, and there are many skilled craftsmen, which cannot be compared with any place. ”
"You came to Pingyi to buy porcelain?"
"Yes and no. There's a dart to go here, and I just wanted to see the porcelain here, so I came. ”
"Are all the injuries healed?" Mo Li glanced at Yu Mingxi's arm.
Yu Mingxi rubbed his arm and said, "It's not bad, as long as you don't use too much force, it's fine." Moxi, how did you end up here? What about Murong Chu? ”
"Is the master's name also what you call casually?" Before Mo Li could speak, Ruoping shouted angrily.
Yu Mingxi turned around, hugged his shoulders and looked at Ruoping, who was standing behind Mo Li, raised an eyebrow and said, "I already knew that you were Murong Chu's person, so you don't need to jump out to remind me." ”
"You ......" Ruoping crossed his hands on his hips and wanted to return the favor. Mo Li hurriedly stood between the two: "Stop!" Can you two stop arguing! Ruoping, you go and sit over there for a while, and I'll talk to Yu Mingxi. ”
Seeing Ruoping's unconvinced appearance with his neck stalked, Mo Li's eyes widened: "Ruoping, the general is asking you to protect me, not restricting my freedom." ”
Ruoping twitched the corners of his mouth, took a deep breath, moved a low stool and sat down by the wall, but his eyes were still spewing anger at Yu Mingxi.
Yu Mingxi shook his head at Ruoping, looking like a villain, and asked Mo Li with a smile: "Say, why did you come to Pingyi Town?" ”
"I went back to Beijing with my brother and passed through here." Mo Li leaned on the window lattice and looked into the distance, "Mingxi, in fact, my surname is Mo, my name is Mo Jinxi, a native of Beijing." I broke my brain before, and I can't remember a lot of things, so I didn't mean to lie to you. ”
Yu Mingxi stared in shock, and it took a long time before he stammered and asked, "Your brother doesn't ...... It won't be a big ...... Minister Mo Jinhua, right? ”
Mo Li turned around and nodded: "This time my brother found me in Xidaying, so he wants to take me back to the capital." ”
"Is that true this time?" Yu Mingxi stared at Mo Li suspiciously with the eyes of a liar.
"Of course." Mo Li held his head high, "If you don't believe it, forget it." ”
Yu Mingxi showed a smile of indifference: "Moxi, in fact, it doesn't matter who you are, I only know Li Moxi." ”
There was a soft knock at the door, and then the man brought tea and fruit snacks.
Yu Mingxi waved his hand to let the guy put down his things and go out, and poured the tea himself: "Moxi, come and taste this bird's tongue." ”
Mo Li picked up the crystal clear white jade porcelain cup, and suddenly a burst of fragrance wafted by, the buds in the cup were like swords, and the tea soup was yellow and green bright against the background of fine white porcelain, and he tasted it carefully: "Well, it is smooth and moisturizing, and the taste is sweet, it is indeed a superior product." ”
"It's more interesting to drink tea with Moxi, the day before yesterday, I brought Uncle Cheng over, and he actually said that this tea is too light, and it is not as delicious as flower tea." Yu Mingxi said with a disgusted face while drinking tea.
"Uncle Cheng is here too? What about Brother Zhen and Sanqing, did they come together? Mo Li put down the cup and beckoned to Ruoping, who was sitting by the wall sulking alone, "Ruoping, come and taste this tea, it's really delicious." ”
Ruoping reluctantly moved the low stool to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.
