9. Xanadu
Xiao Li really chose a good day, even in the middle of Huangya Mountain, he couldn't feel the chill of the north wind. The plum on the slope does not know if it is because of the missed season, the flower bones are fighting to bulge outward, and occasionally one or two have opened their small faces, which is considered to be early, but I don't know if they can endure loneliness. A row of bamboo archways were erected at the quiet corner of the mountainside, one side of the white wood carved the three words of "natural residence", the font size is different, the word is open, majestic and handsome, I don't know which of everyone's ink treasure, quite the god of "Crane Ming". There is a small bamboo basket hanging under the eaves, and the birds in the basket are really not famous, and the chirping leads to a trace of spring early. The cyan masonry gracefully stretches up, and it doesn't appear after three turns or two turns, Lin Yifan's heart said that the words "winding paths lead to seclusion" are probably used here!
Lin Yifan and Huang Ying continued to climb the steps, until they climbed the ridge, and the eyes suddenly opened up, the width of the Yangtze River, the magnificence of the Yangtze River in full view, the big boat walked among the colorful clouds on the horizon, and the small boat shuttled between the branches under the feet. Unexpectedly, standing on the top of the mountain, there would be such an unexpected harvest, Lin Yifan and Huang Ying were very moved, and gradually got drunk into such an ethereal and lofty feeling. Until Xiao Li's call woke them up:
"Hey! What are you doing? Don't go down with me yet! Xiao Li came out of nowhere.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Lin Yifan responded, Xiao Li had already arrived in front of him as he spoke, and before he could introduce him, Xiao Li had already stretched out his hand, "Hello!" ”
"You, hello!" Huang Ying seemed a little nervous and a little overwhelmed when she reached out.
Xiao Li just shook it lightly and let it go politely, "You're Yifan's girlfriend?" ”
"yes!" Lin Yifan put his arm around Huang Ying's shoulder, half-jokingly and half-warned: "Don't mess with your mind!" ”
"Go!" Huang Ying smiled and pushed Lin Yifan and said, "My name is Huang Ying, Yifan's colleague." ”
Xiao Li's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand again and said, "My name is -------"
"Xiao Li." Huang Ying touched Xiao Li's mobile phone and said.
"Oh, I think I'm still famous!"
"Gotta get it! Who do you think you are? Don't stink! Lin Yifan said.
"I often hear Yifan talk about you." Huang Ying explained.
"Alright, don't blow all the wind here, let's go down! It's almost time for the guests to arrive. Xiao Li nodded.
"Okay."
The salon was chosen in a tea room in Shannan. Stepping over an arch, an old building with white walls and blue tiles appeared in front of me, and a pair of characters were engraved on the pillars. "The guest is a natural dwelling, and the guest is actually a guest in the sky." Huang Ying read it softly.
"Good union!" Lin Yifan said, "I really didn't expect there to be such a good place on Huangya Mountain!" ”
"Yifan, are you here?" Ling Ling greeted him.
Xiao Li frowned and muttered in a low voice, "Why are you here?" ”
Ling Ling glanced at Xiao Li, and affectionately pulled Huang Ying to the side room. Lin Yifan turned around and asked, "Are they acquainted?" ”
"Probably not!" Xiao Li smiled bitterly and entered the tea room, "You sit down first, I'll go over and say hello." Xiao Li beckoned, and a waitress wearing a blue calico jacket came over and asked softly, "Sir, what kind of tea do you want to drink?" ”
"Jasmine!" Lin Yifan added: "Add sugar!" ”
"Sweetened?" The service lady confirmed, "Excuse me, sir, is it sugar?" ”
"That's right!" Lin Yifan smiled: "Haven't you ever seen sugar added to tea?" ”
The service lady blushed a little and smiled: "It's good, come right away." Wait! ”
The tea room is not big. The large blue smoke-colored bricks are paved on the ground, and the carved window lattices are pasted with snow-white plain paper, which seems to be thin, faintly reflecting a few purple bamboos in front of the window, thin and thin, and gently swaying in the wind. There are three or five tables of eight immortals in the north and south according to the window, which is simple and elegant in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties. There is also a fire in the middle of the room, and the faint aroma of tea with a slight smell of charcoal fills the tea room. There were more tea customers, groups of three or five, two or three in a cluster, but they gradually occupied the seats.
"Sir, your tea is here, please taste it slowly!" In a moment, the waitress just now had quietly served fragrant tea.
Lin Yifan bowed slightly, carefully picked up the small dish containing sugar, poured two small spoons into the pot, picked up the teapot and shook it gently, and then continued to taste the indoor scenery. At this time, Xiao Li stood beside the charcoal stove in the middle, and after a few brief opening remarks, he sat down beside Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan poured a cup of jasmine for Xiao Li, poured a cup himself, brought it to his nose and took a deep breath, it was very sweet.
"Well, this place is nice!"
"Very good, I really don't know that there is such a paradise in our small place!"
"Hey, they must all be people in the cultural circle, you have to find a more elegant place, you can't all go to a nightclub! Besides, it's much cheaper here. ”
"More and more like a businessman!" Lin Yifan said with a smile.
"Who doesn't want to be taller, there's no way, you have to feed your wife and children!" Xiao Li laughed to himself.
"What's the theme for today?" Lin Yifan asked.
"Nope. What theme seminars, academic exchange meetings, and cultural industry promotion meetings related to the Weiming Lake Cultural Festival have been held several times in the city, and today is here to relax, and all kinds of gods are familiar with each other, there is no special topic. ”
"You really will use the administrative resources of the city government to pave the way for yourself!"
"Sort of! I don't ...... this" Xiao Li suddenly stopped, looked back, and did not speak.
Lin Yifan followed Xiao Li's direction, only to see that Ling Ling had returned to the tea room at some point, holding a cup of tea, swirling among the guests like a mermaid, sometimes whispering, sometimes covering his sleeves and looking forward to it, sometimes talking and laughing, and sometimes his beautiful eyes flowing.
Xiao Li turned his head and said, "Look at her, she is the most enthusiastic about this kind of social activity!" ”
Lin Yifan explained for Ling Ling: "On this kind of occasion, someone needs to liven up the atmosphere!" ”
"Brother comrade, this is a cultural salon, not a cocktail party!"
Lin Yifan smiled, not knowing how to pick up the stubble.
"Courtesan!" Xiao Li scolded, took a sip of tea, and it was too late to vomit, "It's so hot!" Xiao Li put down his cup and beckoned to the waitress opposite.
"What is there to serve you, sir?"
"Call me your boss!" Xiao Li didn't say it angrily, but there was a smile on his face.
"Excuse me, is there anything you can tell me? I've got you covered! The service lady said humbly.
Lin Yifan patted her on the shoulder and said, "You just call him, I have something to look for him!" ”
The service lady subconsciously gave up her shoulders and said, "Okay, you wait a minute!" ”
Xiao Li looked at it and smiled.
"Hey, Yifan! You sit, you sit! Ling Ling hurriedly held down Lin Yifan to prevent him from getting up, "My own person, you are free, I'll go over there to say hello!" After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Li, and said half-snorting and half-complaining: "Why didn't you see your activities in the salon you organized, it caused me to run around to greet me, and my heels hurt." ”
Xiao Li sneered: "With you as an activist here, what else can I do!" ”
Ling Ling didn't feel embarrassed at all, smiled at Lin Yifan, and whispered, "I'll go over first!" ”
Lin Yifan bowed for a while, let her, and saw a person coming over, who seemed to be probably the owner of this tea room, thin and tall, with a pair of rimless resin glasses, which reflected a bookish atmosphere, and Lin Yifan couldn't help but have a few good feelings in his heart.
"Hello, you heard that you are looking for me?" As he spoke, the boss handed over two business cards.
Lin Yifan took it and looked at it, it was just a white cardboard, no decoration at all, only a small "Zhang Juchi" and a set of phone numbers were printed on the bottom of the card. Lin Yifan's favor increased a few points.
"Hello, I am Xiao Li, the organizer of this salon today, this is ......" Xiao Li and Zhang Juchi gently shook hands and introduced.
"It's Mr. Lin, right?" Zhang Juchi said.
"You know me?" Lin Yifan was surprised.
"Two months ago, Zhang's restaurant!" Zhang Juchi reminded.
"Zhang Juchi, Zhang Juchi......" Lin Yifan read this name in his heart, suddenly realized, and shouted: "You won't be Zhang Julan's brother, right?" ”
Zhang Juchi nodded yes with a smile, and said apologetically: "I saw you in the hotel last time, but I was most afraid of socializing, so I didn't go into the box to say hello!" ”
Lin Yifan stared at Zhang Juchi's face, his heart was really different from the nine sons of the dragon, and Lin Yifan couldn't connect him with Zhang Julan.
Zhang Juchi was a little uneasy and said, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”
"Oh, it's okay, you later recovered the debts of Director Ou's family, right?" Lin Yifan said with a smile.
Zhang Juchi was stunned, and burst into a big laugh, "You know all about this kind of mess like me, my sister is really ......"
Xiao Li was caught in the middle for a long time and couldn't interject, Lin Yifan whispered to him for a while, he also laughed loudly, pointed at Zhang Juchi, and pointed at Lin Yifan: "We can't imagine that we are still fellow believers......
Lin Yifan had no intention of participating in this kind of occasion, but it was a harvest to get acquainted with Zhang Juchi today, he was in a good mood, and he talked more, and he didn't feel very boring until the end, and at the end of the day, he also gained a large stack of so-called cultural people's business cards.
