St was carrying the bag of pills, and Xiao Tao jumped as if she had kicked a rabbit, for fear that someone would find out and it would be over. All day long, Xiao Tao was looking for an opportunity to sneak out of the house and throw away the packet of medicine. The house will never dare to throw it, and if someone sees the pill, they will definitely trace the source. Instead, it caused a lot of commotion.

In the evening, Xiao Tao finally found a chance. Seeing that the corner door on the west side of the backyard opened, and the collector went out from that door and didn't close the door in time, Xiao Tao hurriedly ran out of the door, ready to find a place nearby and threw it.

Xiao Tao was looking around, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and a frost-white robe stood in front of her, and a familiar voice sounded gently: "What are you looking for?" ”

Xiao Tao's heart thumped, and then thumped wildly. This voice was too familiar, I hadn't heard it for a long time, and at first glance, her eyes were a little damp. Xiao Tao raised her eyes, looked at the person in front of her, and whispered, "Young Master Qi." After that, he peeked at the person in front of him carefully, still with a light and breezy look, and his narrow eyebrows and eyes carried a little smile, Xiao Tao's heart almost jumped out. It's okay not to see it. Seeing this, I couldn't help jumping out.

"Long time no see." Xiao Tao was holding back a sentence to say it, but he didn't expect Qi Gongzi to say it at the same time. Xiao Tao's face turned red and lowered her head.

Qi Zhengxiu laughed softly: "Since I haven't seen you for a long time, you might as well find a place to talk." The street is not the place to talk. ”

Xiao Tao was so bewitched by this gentle voice that she didn't think much about it. He only tightened the bag of medicine in his hand and walked forward. Qi Gongzi's back is so tall, and he is quite good-looking when he walks, slender and comfortable. Xiao Tao was thinking nonsense, Qi Gongzi paused and said, "It's here." ”

Only then did Xiao Tao turn his attention from Qi Gongzi to the place in front of him. Kind of familiar. Suddenly, I remembered that this was the place where the wine was sent to when I saw Qi Gongzi for the first time in Jinling, the courtyard by the Qinhuai River. At that time, Xiao Tao only went to the backyard.

This time I entered from the corner gate on the east side, and there were people guarding it, and it was inconspicuous at first, just an ordinary courtyard, which was worse than the courtyard of Hefu. The further you go, the more you have a cave.

At the end of the year, there was a dense forest of bamboos, and the tall bamboos were so dense that they couldn't even see the sky. There are many lanterns hanging in the bamboo forest. The lanterns are shaped in a variety of flower shapes, arranged in a row, swaying in the wind, with a unique charm. And the strangest thing is that it is cold in winter outside, but in this bamboo forest, it is as warm as spring.

And the stone road under his feet, there is still intermittent murmuring on both sides, and there are some stone tables and stone benches on the edge of the water. This is a fairyland-like place, the faint bamboo, the ambiguous light, Xiao Tao is a little lost and forgets herself. And Qi Zhengxiu was dressed in white, with black hair and a jade crown, which was even more conspicuous in the bamboo forest, and he was like a fairy floating out of the dust. Xiao Tao looked dumbfounded.

Qi Zhengxiu walked to a table in the depths of the bamboo forest, pointed to a stone bench next to him and said, "Sit down." "Someone has already come over and brought two cups of tea.

Xiao Tao looked around and asked curiously, "Where is this?" ”

Qi Zhengxiu looked at her and smiled faintly: "My family's other courtyard." If you like, you can stay here in the future. ”

Momo's face turned red again, and her heart began to pound. Qi Gongzi always speaks as if he has a hook, and the hook person is soft and chaotic in his heart.

Qi Zhengxiu took a sip of tea and asked as if he was in trouble, "Did you get into trouble a while ago?" ”

He got it? Xiao Tao's heart was sudden, but after thinking about it, he was taken away by Ye Guang, and later went to Kaifeng. Such a big thing, the eldest lady must have already told him. He nodded.

"You didn't meet any villains on the road, did you?" Qi Zhengxiu asked again.

Gangsters? Xiao Tao suddenly thought of the two tea merchants, and sighed: "I ran in a hurry, and I met two more tea merchants who were greedy for money. As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Gongzi and said timidly, "That jade peach was lost by me again." ”

Qi Zhengxiu's heart ached sullenly, and then he smiled: "It's good that people are safe." Stuff can be bought again. After a pause, he asked, "Later, I went to Kaifeng?" ”

Xiao Tao let out a "hmm", this time she has a long memory. Regarding Zhao Gongzi's matter, she didn't dare to talk nonsense. Who knows which sentence is deadly.

Qi Zhengxiu looked at Xiao Tao's defensive expression, and felt a little awkward in his heart, as if the wind had risen and wrinkled a pool of spring water. He didn't ask any further, but flicked his sleeve, and a maid came over with a pot in his hand. He lit the small stove next to him and put the pot on the rack.

Xiao Tao looked at the maid curiously, only to see that she scooped out a few spoonfuls of tea leaves from a tea box and put them into four tea bowls. Qi Zhengxiu smiled: "I didn't expect to meet you." I made an appointment with a few friends here before, and one of them was a mouthful, he didn't like ordinary tea, and he had to order tea. I guess it's time to come. ”

As soon as the words fell, a hearty voice was already sounding behind him: "Old Seven, what are you talking about me behind your back?" ”

Xiao Tao raised her eyes and saw that the two sons were smiling and striding towards here. The cyan robe who walked in front and spoke, his hair was tied with a black silk crown, he looked older than Qi Gongzi, and the other blue robe looked loyal and honest. The cyan robe approached and looked at Xiao Tao with squinted eyes and smiled: "No wonder Lao Qi wants to give a single dowry, it is really stunning." ”

Qi Gongzi stood up and hooked his lips and smiled: "Just your sharp eyes." ”

The boy in the green robe laughed and said: "It's not my sharp eyes, I can let you bring it here, I guess it's either the eldest lady or your little lady." As he spoke, he turned to look at Xiao Tao and smiled, "My name is statement, what's your name?" ”

Qi Gongzi stood in front of Xiao Tao: "Okay, sit down quickly." ”

Xiao Tao plucked up her courage, looked at the statement and said, "My name is Ye Taoyi." When Qi Zhengxiu heard this name, his brows furrowed. Xiao Tao paused and said, "I've seen you, this year's Dragon Boat Festival, right here." "All the time.

The statement thought for a moment, then slapped his hands and smiled: "Yes, we were drinking here that day." Looking at Qi Zhengxiu as he sat down, he said, "It seems that I have a relationship with your little lady." Seeing that Qi Zhengxiu's eyebrows sank, he said to the blue-robed boy, "Brother Chu Jin, the seventh seems to be serious this time." ”

The blue-robed boy sat down, smiling silently.

Xiao Tao's face was a little hot, but her heart was sweet, and she lowered her head and sat next to Qi Zhengxiu. Qi Zhengxiu smiled: "Phoenix Tribute Tea, how is it?" ”

The statement's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about joking, and his interest rose: "Excellent." But it also depends on the work of some tea. ”

Xiao Tao looked down at the very fine tea powder in the tea cup, and after the maid waited for the water to boil, the pot was poured into one of the tea cups, and took out a thing like a bamboo brush from the tray at hand, and stirred it in the tea cup quickly, and soon the tea foamed, and the tea soup became uniform in a short time. Qi Zhengxiu raised his hand and signaled to the blue-robed boy first, this should be his eldest.

The blue-robed boy took a sip and said, "I owe a little." ”

Qi Zhengxiu hooked his lips and smiled, lifted the pot in front of the maid, stood up and rushed down, Xiao Tao's heart froze, can it be poured in so high? But it turned out that she was too worried, the water rushed directly into the tea cup quickly and powerfully, Qi Zhengxiu picked up the tea whisk and stirred it quickly, Xiao Tao only felt dazzled, Qi Gongzi's movements were elegantly dusty, and between the long sleeves waving, she didn't have time to see clearly, a cup of tea had been lit, and the uniform and green tea soup exuded a faint tea fragrance.

The statement couldn't wait to grab the tea and take a sip, with a smile in the corners of his eyes: "Absolutely, good tea, good kung fu." Glancing at the teacup, he praised, "Sure enough, not even a drop of water was spilled." ”

The blue-robed boy said: "His tea ordering kung fu is not as good as that of the imperial tea workshop, and he can spill water." ”

Qi Zhengxiu lit three more lamps, and Xiao Tao also had one in front of him, seeing that everyone else drank it, Xiao Tao also gently picked it up and took a sip, which was indeed different from ordinary drinking. Xiao Tao can't say the specific taste, but she just thinks that drinking tea usually quenches her thirst with the fragrance of tea, and drinking this kind of tea at this time is like the whole person floating.

The statement said as if unintentionally: "Your Majesty has the intention to drive the expedition this time, and several opponents have been degraded. ”

Qi Zhengxiu picked his lips and stopped making a sound. The blue-robed boy asked, "Zisuke, don't you think so?" ”

Qi Zhengxiu said lightly: "I have a weak heart. He paused and looked at the blue-robed boy and said, "Did Your Majesty mention the recall of the crown prince?" ”

The blue-robed boy replied: "A few days ago, I heard that Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei of the Zhou army, and Zhao Kuangyi, the right general, went to reinforce Haozhou, and they mentioned that the prince should come back, but as you said, someone in the court proposed to send more warships. His Majesty did not insist. ”

Hearing Zhao Kuangyi's name, Xiao Tao's heart chuckled, did he go to Haozhou again? couldn't help but look a little wandering, and the tea in his mouth was a little tasteless. Qi Zhengxiu glanced at Xiao Tao, and changed the topic with a light smile: "Don't mention this." What's new in the near future? ”

For a while, several people chatted about the poems and lyrics they had written each other recently, and commented on each other. From their chat, Xiao Tao knew that the blue-robed boy was called Xu Kai, whose character was Chu Jin, and he was good at calligraphy. happened to state that there was a new word, so Qi Gongzi asked the maid to prepare pen and ink, stated the poem, and Xu Kai wrote it.

Xiao Tao couldn't help but come up, Xu Kai's words are not as vigorous as Zhao Kuangyi's, not like the eldest lady's juanxiu, nor like Qi Gongzi's elegant, but it is a golden and thin iron hook, which has a unique taste. Xiao Tao couldn't help but draw in the palm of her hand.

The statement unintentionally caught a glimpse of Xiao Tao's movements, and was unconsciously curious: "Can Peach Girl also write?" "There aren't many girls who are literate, let alone write.

Xiao Tao pursed her lips and shook her head and smiled: "I didn't write well." ”

If it's not good, he can write, and he hurriedly handed the pen to Xiao Tao: "Write a few quickly." Qi Zhengxiu's face was still faint, but there was some inexplicable feeling in his heart, it seemed that he really didn't know Xiao Tao well enough.

Xiao Tao picked up the pen, glanced at Qi Zhengxiu, and wrote ten words: "The bright moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time." Zhao Kuangyi has taken her to write this poem several times, and she only writes this sentence the best.

After the words were written, several people were a little surprised, and the statement clapped their hands and said: "The writing is quite the style of some men." He didn't say the latter words, but it wasn't like Qi Zhengxiu's words.

Qi Zhengxiu looked at those ten words, and suddenly a hot breath rushed from the soles of his feet to his whole body, hitting his heart bitterly. The fist in his sleeve was clenched, but he hooked his lips and smiled, and the writing was good. He had read Zhao Kuangyi's handwriting before, and Xiao Tao was indeed his good apprentice.
