Chapter 92: The Spring of Belling (1)
There are four major teas in Nanxiang that are the most sought after, and among them, the early spring green tea of Beiling can be regarded as the first of the four major teas, and it is known as a penny of tea and a tael of gold.
"Sure enough, the fragrance is fresh and long." Qing Rang hasn't tasted it yet, just looking at the technique of making tea like clouds and flowing water in the autumn on the opposite side, and he can't help but sigh when he smells the fragrance of tea.
Qiu Ziliu smiled proudly and handed over a small cup, "You can taste it and see which one is better than your favorite Yiqiu black tea." ”
Qing Rang took the teacup, "I thought that the Lord of the Autumn Pavilion had nothing to love except killing, but I didn't want to study tea tasting." "From picking tea to making tea, Qingrang can be regarded as a lot of teaching.
"Isn't the young aunt also versatile, in addition to playing abacus well, this mouth is also very clever." Qiu Ziliu was not to be left behind, and the two have become more and more sympathetic to each other in recent days.
Qing Rang took a small sip, but couldn't help frowning and put down the cup.
"How?" Qiu Ziliu picked up his cup and took a sip, feeling that the taste was no different from usual.
"I like the warm taste of black tea, although this Belling early green is indeed much more delicious than the green tea next to it, but it is inevitable that there is still a trace of greenness left in it."
"It seems that you just don't love green tea, good or bad." Qiu Ziliu sighed, "Even if it is already the best in green tea, it is still green tea after all." ”
Qing Rang looked down at the little remaining buds in the cup, circling and quiet, each with its own posture, very beautiful, but it was so astringent.
"Yes, it's not suitable, no matter how beautiful it is." Qing Rang got up and looked at the rolling hills, green tea trees everywhere, looking at the original comfortable scenery, but there was always a worry between her eyebrows.
"There is a deep meaning in the young aunt's words."
"But as far as tea is concerned, nothing else."
"Why haven't you asked me why I have taken you captive?" When Qiu Ziliu said it, he meant being imprisoned in Asan.
"Didn't you say it, I think there are no other women around Yu Zichen except Xuanyin." Qing Rang smiled bitterly, "Actually, you are too worried, Yu Zichen and I are not as close to each other as you imagined, and it will not threaten your Miss Xuanyin's status in his heart." ”
"How much do you know about Yu Zichen?"
Qing Rang didn't know why he suddenly asked like this, but Qiu Ziliu looked at her and smiled meaningfully.
"Miss......" Jin Niang hurriedly entered the bamboo house, her face was happy, "I just saw the notice, the prince has been deposed!" ”
Qiu Ziliu trembled with the cup of tea, he knew that the time was near, but he couldn't help but tremble when he heard the news with his own ears, he brushed his sleeves and walked away, although he didn't know where to go.
Qing Rang Xiang Jin Niang was sure again and again, but seeing that Qiu Artesian was unusual, she and Jin Niang followed, followed him for a long time, until they reached a bend of the blue pool, she saw his shoulders trembling, there was a slight sobbing sound, and then the splash of the pool was splashed inside.
"Autumn Pavilion Lord, what's wrong?"
"I don't know, everyone has something hidden in their hearts, and others can't understand it." Qing Rang turned around and took Jin Niang to the courtyard where she settled first, and she asked, "The prince was deposed, do you know why?" ”
"The notice only said that he had offended Long Yan, and it seems that he must have done something ugly and not let the world know."
"It's okay to be abolished, if he continues like this, it's not Seventh Brother who is embarrassed, what else did he say besides being abolished?"
"I only said that the crown prince was deposed and sent to Linsu in front of the mausoleum of Empress Suxian to reflect on his mistakes."
"The emperor still cares about the friendship with the former queen," Qing Rang suddenly remembered something, "Jin Niang, you and I prepare some paper money and incense candles." ”
"Miss is going to the temple?"
"The Jiaxing Temple in Belling is full of incense, I want to pray for the charm, and now the prince is deposed is also his revenge, I hope he will be in the next life in ordinary people's homes, farming and hunting for a lifetime."
Jin Niang nodded, "It's just Miss, when are we going back to Nanxiang?" She has always felt strange, although it is said that she was hijacked by Qiu Ziliu, but the Qiu Pavilion Lord has always been very polite to the Miss, this time she came to Beiling is Miss casually said that she has not tasted the new green of Beiling, and the Qiu Pavilion Lord arranged a carriage to come together on the second day, and the Qiu Pavilion Lord did not send someone to guard, and her young lady did not mention leaving.
"It's not for us to decide, so wait."
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you wait for your uncle to pick us up? In such a situation, it is impossible to use the word "rescue", after all, Miss is much more leisurely these days than in Nanxiang.
"I don't know."
When she woke up that day, she was already in the carriage to Asan, she asked Qiu Ziliu why he wanted to kidnap her, Qiu Ziliu said that he had no intention of hurting her, he only wanted her to disappear between Xuanyin and Zichen for a while, and then she saw confusion appear in his room, she thought it was to save her, but she didn't want Qiu Ziliu or said that she couldn't let her go, she knew that Yu Zichen must have made a deal with him, but she didn't know what the deal was.
One bright morning, the yellow oriole outside the house woke up Qingrang, who was still in a dream, she opened her eyes in a daze, turned over, and the delicate face in the confused eyes became clearer and clearer, the rich eyebrows, the long eyelashes, and such deep eye lines, the high bridge of the nose, the fairer skin than her, and the breath of the tip of his nose could be felt on the face.
It's a dream, there have been a few times when she has seen such a scene in a dream, Qingrang closed her eyes, but clearly knew that she would never be able to sleep again, because this time the clarity was too much. She sighed, lifted the quilt, glanced at the person who seemed to be sleeping soundly in the bed, landed on her feet, reached out to take the robe from the hanger, and turned to put it on.
"I thought you were going to at least scream."
A lazy voice came from behind Qing Rang, and she looked back at him, "It's not the first time, you're just pretending to be asleep and teasing me anyway, why bother me to scare myself and let you see jokes." ”
On the bed, Yu Zichen looked innocent, "I didn't pretend to be asleep, you woke me up when you got up, you know that I slept lightly." She knew that he slept lightly, and when she slept in the same room, he would wake up when she turned over.
"I didn't want to scare you, I wanted to go down before you woke up, but I was too tired from the journey, and I slept until now." He told the truth, from Nanxiang here, changed horses four times, he didn't close his eyes and sleep peacefully, he thought he was excited about some news, but until he saw her sleeping face, he didn't know that he was just because he hadn't seen her for too long.
When Qing Rang Fang took his clothes, he found that his white clothes were stained with a lot of mud, and he must have come all the way to the mud in the heavy rain in Beiling last night, "Then the young marshal will rest for a while, I will leave Jin Niang to serve the young marshal." Qingrang's tone was respectful and gentle, and he walked as if he was going out.
"Where are you going?" Yu Zichen's voice was hurried, and he could feel Qing Rang's deliberate distancing.
"Yesterday, I told the Lord of the Autumn Pavilion that I would go to Jiaxing Temple to burn incense today."
"No need to go, I already asked Qiu Ziliu to go back to Asan by himself last night." Yu Zichen got out of bed angrily, he walked to Qingrang, and asked cautiously, "But are you angry?" ”
"The Lord of the Autumn Pavilion is a friend of the young marshal, how should the young marshal treat his friends, why should I be angry."
"I'm not asking about it, I'm asking ......"
"Young Marshal," Qing Rang interrupted him, "The Bodhisattva can't deceive, he said he was going yesterday, even if the Qiu Pavilion Lord missed the appointment today, I still want to go, please allow the young marshal." Qing Rang leaned over and was about to salute, Yu Zichen stopped her, he didn't want her to bow humbly to him, he wanted to speak, but she turned her face to the side.
"What are you doing here?" As soon as the hand he held was forced, Qing Rang raised his head in pain, bit his lip, and tears fell to the ground one by one, and Yu Zichen let go of his hand.
"I didn't come to save you back, I put you in Asan for more than a month, so you're angry?" Yu Zichen wiped the tears on her face, "I thought you had a great time in Asan, I heard that Asan has been turned over by you." This is not enough, and now you are still coming to Beiling, don't you know that Beiling is the prince's fiefdom? ”
"The ...... of the demotion of the crown prince"
"I said that I would avenge Mei, my people can't die too worthless, I didn't interfere too much in the matter of the prince's debasement, but just provided some clues for people with a heart."
"Then why is it here again now, is there a place where I need to be used?"
Yu Zichen was silent for a long time, looking at the tears on Qing Rang's face that had not yet dried up, "Let's go, don't you want to go to the temple, I'll accompany you." ”
Qing Rang didn't know how true his gentleness at the moment was.
That day, in a carriage, Feng Qian and Jin Niang, who were driving the car, were sitting outside the car, laughing at each other, and there were a pair of people sitting in the car, but they were silent.
In Jiaxing Temple, Yu Zichen heard the words in his mouth, he knew that it was Sanskrit, but he didn't understand what she was talking about, so he gave him three incense, "Since you came, it's better to go to the pillar incense, the Bodhisattva is merciful, and he won't blame the world." ”
Qing let pious bowing, Yu Zichen looked at her, he remembered hearing people say, believe in Buddhism and God because there is something in his heart and have nothing to rely on, he stepped forward and knelt beside her, raised incense over his head and kowtowed three times.
Qing Rang looked at him with a side face, his heart was moved but he didn't speak, he got up and put the incense on and turned around and walked out of the hall, she stood outside the hall and looked at Feng Qian helping Jin Niang burn paper money, and she was a little envious in her heart.
"You say, if you go back to Nanxiang and promise Jinniang to Feng as a wife, would it be good?"
Qing Rang nodded, "If the five-year contract expires, I want to keep Jinniang, and then I will have to bother the young marshal to take more care of it." ”
"Do you know what was going on in my mind when I just kowtowed?"
"I don't know."
"I have prayed countless times, hoping to be protected by the gods when I am bullied, and I hope that the Buddha can take care of me in several life and death situations, but in the end, I found that no one can help me except myself, so I never believe in the Buddha God."
She had seen his scars, and she believed him, but she didn't understand, "Why are you ...... that?"
"I don't know what you're worried about, I don't know what you're praying for, and I hope they can give you peace of mind."
Kiyoyo looked him in the eye, "I'm uneasy, because I don't know how true or false you are, because I'm not sure when and where you'll leave me next time, because I don't want to leave you a little." ”
Because, I don't want to leave you anymore......
