Chapter 3 [The Old Lover of the Teapot]
What was a little disappointing was that Liu Wen didn't take Yuan to see what immortal law was like, but took him to listen to the book.
There is a very famous teahouse in the city, and the name is also beautiful: "Xianju". It is said that this is the name that was once impromptu by a great practitioner who drank a cup of tea here.
Whether it is true or not, this teahouse is also famous, and some literati and scholars often come here to talk, and even some practitioners who pass by will sit down and drink a cup of tea since they became famous.
There is a very eloquent storyteller in the teahouse, this gentleman does not talk about vulgar and glamorous things, nor does he talk about the red cliffs of the Three Kingdoms, but only talks about those good stories between cultivators, which is also a must.
"So His Majesty the Emperor of our Qiguo came to the mountain gate of Nanzong in person, invited the peerless sword of Nanzong, accompanied by the sect master at that time, and took the Manchu Dynasty civil and military Qi to Mount Tai, and reported the world's meritorious deeds, worshiped heaven and earth, and sealed Mount Tai!"
"There is also the legendary figure who ascended to the fifth realm of cultivation two hundred years ago, and actually sat on the ground and turned into a pure world karmic fire with a body of heavenly cultivation, and burned the seven major states of Yanyun, harmless to people and animals wherever he passed, and only killed the evil obstacles of the seven states in one fell swoop!
Sitting on the table, holding a cup of yellow-green tea, Yuan Lai listened to the storyteller's nonsense with great interest, and listened to it very happily, but peeked at Liu Wen opposite, and only said in his heart, Is it possible that this Uncle Liu expects that he can understand the storyteller's story?
Young Master Ben is a fool!
Yuan Lai shook his head in his heart, his expression did not move, while Liu Wen was just sipping tea, occasionally looking at the new guests.
The boss of Xianju is not a man but a bewitching half-aged, the proprietress Shi Shiran walked over with a delicate teapot, with a smile on her face and hooked eyes, and when she got closer, she put the turquoise teapot on the table.
"Yo, Steward Liu, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, rare guests. The proprietress smiled brightly.
Liu Wen is a businessman, but he is much more knowledgeable than Yuan Shoucheng in his belly, and his temperament has the sleek temperament of a businessman, and he also has a little bit of the elegance of a scholar.
Seeing this flower, he smiled softly and said, "Yes, it's been more than half a year." ”
The proprietress also unceremoniously stretched out her thin arm to pull a chair and sat down, looked Yuan Lai up and down, and then sighed: "I haven't seen this child for three years......"
Staring at Yuan Lai with emotion in her eyes, she said again: "How long will you stay when you come back from the capital this time?"
"Don't go, Yuan Lai is back, I definitely want to accompany me, and besides, I'm not too young, so I won't toss. Liu Wen took a sip of tea.
The proprietress brightened her eyes, suddenly put her arms down, tilted her body towards Liu Wen, opened her chest and clothes to reveal a snow-white, and said with a smile: "Really?
"Ahem. Liu Wen's old face turned red, tilted his head and said, "I'm not too young to be so frivolous." ”
The tone seemed to be a little blameful, but the half-aged ignored it.
Yuan Lai looked speechlessly at a pair of young men and women who were openly ** here, thinking that this Liu Wen should not come out to meet a lover in the name of telling himself to practice, right?
"Yuan Lai is still there. Liu Wen said helplessly.
The proprietress reluctantly restrained herself, and then subconsciously glanced at the half-grown boy next to her, but only saw a pair of confused eyes looking at her, for no reason, maybe it was a woman's wonderful intuition, she suddenly felt that there was a hint of abuse in Yuan Lai's eyes.
She was startled, and when she calmed down, that look disappeared without a trace.
"What's wrong?" Liu Wen said.
"It's nothing," the woman smiled, and the demeanor on her body subconsciously retracted, she also knew that Yuan Lai's intelligence was problematic, and her personality made her look like that just now, and at this time, she was shocked by Yuan Lai's accidentally revealed eyes, but she instantly became dignified.
"By the way," she suddenly whispered, "How is that Yin Qin newly married by Yuan Shoucheng to Yuan Lai?"
Liu Wen shook his head: "I just came back, I don't know, but I heard that it's good." ”
The proprietress sneered and said, "It's good, I don't believe it, I don't think that fox is a fuel-efficient lamp at first sight, not to mention Yuan Lai's situation, even a normal child can't get good under her! When Yuan Shoucheng married him and entered the door, I haven't forgotten her smug appearance, just lived in the mansion for a day and had to clean up Yuan Lai's mother's old house, hehe, if it weren't for Yuan Shoucheng's ears and roots are quite tough, at this time Yuan Lai would have to work hard to come back!"
Liu Wen didn't speak, just sighed.
Yuan Lai listened with his ears pricked up, and didn't pay attention to the storyteller's mouth.
"In addition, have you heard it, Yuan Lai has been back for a few days. The proprietress said again.
"What are you talking about?" asked Liu Wen with his eyes raised.
"What can it be? It's not that some disgusting guy makes fun of this kid's bad brain? And there is also something that Yuan Lai was driven back by other cultivators, and some say that his father sent him up the mountain because he didn't want him anymore, and he just sent the child away on the front foot and married a new daughter-in-law on the back foot or something. The proprietress said nonchalantly.
"Bang!"
Liu Wen's face sank, and he put the tea bowl on the table.
The woman hurriedly said slowly: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry for those people chewing their tongues." ”
"Hmph, it's really wind and rain, they don't know anything about Yuan Lai, just ......" Liu Wen snorted coldly, and closed up halfway through speaking.
"Okay, okay, don't pay attention to those words that don't have a shadow, there's nothing you can't see at this age. Why, you can't come to see me today, do you?" the woman chuckled gently.
Chief Steward Liu Wen's expression softened a little, and then said, "Yuan Lai wants to know about cultivation, so I'll come over." ”
"Cultivation?" The woman glanced at Yuan Lai, who was sitting honestly, in surprise, and said, "Then your luck is not good, there are no cultivators passing by in the teahouse today." ”
"It's okay, if you can meet it, you will meet it, and if you don't meet it, it's fate. ”
"Okay, then you just keep watching, I'll get busy first. The proprietress said.
Liu Wen nodded, so the woman who still had charm waved her hand and left.
Watching this woman with a very interesting personality leave, Yuan Lai suddenly felt that the storytelling had become boring, from the conversation between the two, it seemed that this Uncle Liu was going to take himself to see the appearance of a living cultivator, and maybe he would have to ask him for a lesson or two, but unfortunately there was no cultivator in this realm at this time.
Then it's so boring to continue to pretend to be stupid like this.
Yuan Lai thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Hungry." ”
Liu Wen was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "What do you want to eat?"
I saw this half-grown young man smile brightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the guide, and said, "Chengnan...... Osmanthus cake ......"
“......”
Liu Wen was speechless for a while, he knew that Yuan was talking about the extremely famous pastry shop in the south of the city, the osmanthus cake was indeed very delicious, and Yuan Lai usually liked to eat it, but the two of them were in the north of the city at this time, this distance was really far away, the key was that the store sold things had to be ordered in advance, and if there was no reservation, then you could buy it by yourself, but if you sent a guy, you didn't have the face to buy it.
But if he leaves, he will not be at ease if he leaves this Yuan Lai and himself here, although Yuan Lai is very honest, but his intelligence is ...... after all
Seeing that he hesitated, Yuan Lai urged again: "Hungry, osmanthus cake!"
It's not a good feeling to pretend to be a young child, but I can't help it.
Liu Wen was helpless, thought about it, and then instructed Yuan to come a few words, and then left to find the proprietress and say a few words, and then leave with confidence.
"Hungry, don't you be hungry if you drink some tea. The proprietress reappeared in front of Yuan Lai, and then said a particularly painful word leisurely, and at the same time poured a cup of tea for Yuan Lai.
Yuan Lai turned his head in disgust and refused.
The proprietress pursed her lips, leaned over with her arms on the table, and said seriously: "Tea is much better than osmanthus cake." ”
Yuan Lai really wanted to open his mouth to expose this woman's lies, let alone deceive him as a fool, even if he was a fool.
It's just that this familiar woman leaned over and made Yuan Lai a little full-eyed, don't look at her age, she is still in good shape.
Yuan Lai couldn't help but secretly think that this woman's appearance when she was young was afraid that she could score 8.5 points, but now that she is older, she still has 7 points.
Seeing that Yuan was not fooled, the proprietress sat back a little depressed, and then seemed to remember something, and the woman actually said: "Stay good and don't move." Then he left.
And just left......
Left......
Yuan Lai was a little dumbfounded, but at the same time he felt relaxed, he still had to find a way to break up this woman, but he didn't expect her to be so irresponsible, Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu, your old lover is not reliable, right?
However, Yuan Lai, who was relaxed, didn't know that the pair of eyebrows of the proprietress who had gone away had wrinkled into eight characters at this time, her face was full of eccentricity, and the magical feeling of a woman in her heart made her uneasy.
"This kid ...... Peeking into my chest with such a hidden look, is this really a fool?!"
The woman muttered, and then began to observe Yuan Lai from a distance with a suspicious expression.
Although her personality is a little jumpy, she is still safe in handling things, how can she really leave a stupid teenager aside?
It's just that this time she didn't plan to watch over her, but chose to ......
"Something doesn't feel right...... she whispered to herself.
