Chapter 16 begins
Jiu dragged his tired body and Liu Xi to the river, the river in the early morning was scattered, the fragrant grass smell did not enter the bridge of the nose, the bluestone by the river grew a thin moss, and the mottled scars were covered with bluestone.
Shaking his head and looking at the green willows swaying in the wind, there is a small bridge by the river, the small bridge is a scent of sandalwood, and there is a pair of beautiful women on the bridge whispering. Suddenly he felt much more sober, he looked at the girl in front of him, the girl's eyebrows were picturesque, like ink, lightly dyed with the fragrance of the country, a deer's hairpin pinned to her head, and a Qingluo skirt walked slowly, a little beauty.
"Liu Xi......" he muttered the girl's name, and the girl turned to look at him and smiled lightly at him, the smile between her eyebrows caught him off guard. "What's wrong?" "Nothing, it's just...... Where are we going......?"
"In the middle of the lake. The girl said softly, looked around again, and then turned and walked forward. Jiu shrugged and reluctantly followed her. There is a pavilion in the middle of the lake, and you can smell the sweet smell of glutinous rice wine from a distance.
This can smell him, he likes to drink, but all he drinks is glutinous rice wine. "Are you going to buy a jar?" the girl laughed, the boy was about to overflow, and it seemed that he liked the smell of glutinous rice wine. "Nope. "Let's finish the business with her first.
Looking ahead, there was an old man eating rice balls on a boat. "Old man, can you take me to the small pavilion in the middle of the lake?" The old man looked up at Liu Xi, who was a well-behaved little girl...... "Yes, but you have to exchange." Liu Xi pursed his lips and smiled, his palms formed a block of ice, and the ice was slowly melting, gradually becoming a pair of dragon and phoenix children.
The old man's eyes widened and he looked at her incredulously. She tapped the ice lightly and turned it into a stone sculpture. "Old man, is this good?" "Wonderful...... Wonderful, girl, is this an immortal?" the old man took the stone carving and praised it again and again. She didn't say anything, she just kept laughing.
Sure enough, he got on the boat, in fact, Jiu was very curious, why did he take the boat, with the qigong of the two of them, he could go directly to the small pavilion in the center of the lake, why did he have to do so many tedious things?
"Old man, is there a daughter-in-law in your family who is pregnant?" The old man and Jiu were slightly stunned, and the old man smiled and said, "Yes, how did the girl know?" "Hehe, the old man is blessed, and Mrs. is pregnant with a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses." The old man smiled even more, "How does the girl know?" "Qi, the qi of the world can only be known as long as you feel it with your heart." The old man, when he returned, asked his wife to go to a palace to find the old housekeeper to borrow a jar of sweet wine, and then give the jar of wine to the neighbor. "The more the old man laughs, the happier he becomes, "Cheng, Cheng, girl, what's your name?" Old man, I'll come again tomorrow, please wait for me here and take me into town, okay?"
"Yes, girl, the old man will be waiting for you here tomorrow. "That girl, can you tell the old man, why do you want to lend wine to your neighbor?" "The smell of sweet wine is fragrant here, this season should not make this sweet wine, yesterday it rained heavily, the aroma of wine will enter here, you can know that it is the wine made by the big family, this wine aroma is different from the smell of the wine shop, there is a lot more pure gas." Therefore, the one who can make this wine is a big official. Now that the smell of wine has entered the other side of town, can you not be hungry? My friend is also hungry. Jiu's face turned red when he heard the latter sentence, and he lowered his head and didn't speak.
The old man was still puzzled and asked, "There are so many winemakers, why do you have to borrow wine from a big official?" "This is an effect, for example, if I give a small bracelet to a child, no one will pay attention to it, but if it is the emperor who gives him a small bracelet, it is different over there." And that family has a lot of wine, and if they borrow a jar, they will have nothing. And when this is seen by people passing by, it will spread to the hundreds. The neighbors will also know more or less. And when you send it to your neighbors, they will know that you are going to lend them wine. ”
"After knowing it, I naturally can't get over it, and I will definitely repay you well. When the time comes, I will definitely visit you. "But the old man doesn't need it...... The old man just wants to hold the child steadily. "Old man, that's why I'm going to town tomorrow. The old man did not speak, but nodded slightly.
After getting off the boat, Jiu and Liu Xi watched the old man leave a distance and began to chat.
"With the light skills of the two of us, the small pavilion in the middle of the lake is naturally simple, why is it so complicated?" Liu Xi walked into the small pavilion and found a place to sit down. Jiu also sat down.
"The old man was cleanly dressed and had neat sideburns. Even rowing is so-so, do you think an old boatman would be like this when paddling? "Then why did he borrow wine?" "The implication is that we are going to borrow wine from his neighbor, not him." He was silent and knew what we were going to do. As for giving him this stone carving, he was asked to send the news. "News?" "Met the immortals. ”
Is it...... No matter how you look at it, I don't think it will be something that the little girl should have come up with. "Let's go, it's time to go to town with light work. "So fast, but this old man should have just come ashore?" "That's why I'm leaving." Liu Xi raised his brows mischievously.
The two of them stood up, and then crossed the lake together, leaving two figures in the crowd with light skills. When the common people saw this, they all put down their affairs and followed in the direction of the two of them. When the two men saw the old man, they looked at each other and smiled, and went to him.
The two of them jumped in front of the old man. The old man was not too surprised, he smiled at the two of them, "Let's go, girl." The people followed them to the Ye Mansion, and after the Ye Mansion opened the door, the servants took out two jars of wine and handed them to the two of them.
"Old man, one altar is enough......" "I'll give you one more altar, anyway, there are more in the courtyard." The old man entered the Ye Mansion and nodded at them, "Girl, go quickly, then the Wang family will be there in a while." The old man will help you get here. ”
Liu Xi nodded his head in thanks and handed the jar of wine to Jiu, and he was also holding a jar of wine in his hand, and the others didn't understand why the old man of Yefu wanted to send wine to the two little immortals? Could it be that he was asking for blessings?
"It's not sinking, I'll take it. Before Liu Xi could answer, he carried the wine in one hand and took the wine jar in her arms with the other. The two of them stood in the palace and knocked on the door, and sure enough, it was an old butler.
"The two...... Is there anything wrong?" "Butler, I want to bring you a jar of wine. Liu Xi picked up the jar of wine, looked at it, put the jar of wine back, and then picked up another jar and handed it to the housekeeper, "Please give this wine to Wang Gongzi and tell him that tomorrow I will wait for him in the lake pavilion tomorrow." ”
The old housekeeper took the wine and poured thanks, and then the two of them also went back with light skills. "Why didn't you give him that jar just now?" "The two jars of wine are different, the old man gave us two jars, one jar is not glutinous rice wine, you should know the weight when you take it, the light jar is glutinous rice wine, and the heavy one is daughter red." I gave my daughter red to him because it was obviously fragrant with glutinous rice wine, but it was my daughter red, so he would feel strange, so he wouldn't touch the altar of daughter red, and when he heard that I asked him to come out tomorrow, he would know that I had something to find him. ”
"What about this glutinous rice wine?" "This glutinous rice wine is for the two of us to drink, let's drink it when we go back." Liu Xi smiled lightly. I don't know why she did it.
