Chapter 12: Blue Peony
The golden-fingered monk lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, not squinting, but his cheeks quickly climbed into a light red.
Shi Yunqing tried his best to hold back a laugh and scolded his sister, "Xiao Yunxiu wants to be naughty," he glanced at Golden Finger, and finally couldn't hold back his laughter, "Golden Finger is a master in the world, how can you let this little girl make fun of you." ”
Xiao Yun blinked his eyes, not afraid of this undeterrent scolding, and looked at the handsome face of the golden-fingered monk who quickly blushed, and became even more curious, "Will the master be shy?" Oh yes, why didn't you see your gold finger? Let me see what the fingers of pure gold look like? ”
A layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the golden-fingered monk, and he tilted his body to avoid Xiao Yun's hand grabbing his sleeve, and glanced at Shi Yunqing for help.
Shi Yunqing just smiled and lowered his head to drink tea, not looking at the face of the golden finger.
Layue secretly laughed when she saw it, and thought that Fang Cai's legend was said by herself, so she quickly got up and pulled Xiaoyun to sit down, and apologized to Master Golden Finger again, "Master forgiveness, what Layue said was also heard by my father elsewhere in the past, and I stained the master's name, and I hope the master will forgive." ”
The Golden Finger Master quickly raised his eyes to look at her and lowered his eyes, this apology seemed to make him even more embarrassed, and his face was as red as blood.
Shi Yunqing looked at Layue and winked at her. Layue didn't understand, so she had to sit down and look at this pomegranate dude who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic and was looking at the golden finger master with a smile.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Mrs. Li also came to relieve the siege.
"I just heard that the master is good at breeding 'Ou Jiabi' blue peony, I don't know if you can explain a thing or two for us."
Master Golden Finger breathed a sigh of relief, and finally grasped a topic to alleviate embarrassment, "What Master Xing said is extremely true, blue peony does not have inherently blue flower species, it is all cultivated with white peony as the base and cultivated with special techniques, but it can only bloom blue for one year, and it will return to white peony the next year." ”
"What's that? Can you teach me? Xiaoyun suddenly became interested, and it was really funny that this monk blushed at every turn.
"This ......," the golden-fingered monk was puzzled, "this skill was also obtained by chance, and the one at that time ...... The donor once said that this skill must not be passed on, and the little monk also swore to him, and hoped that the cloud benefactor would forgive him. ”
Xiaoyun had to give up with a disappointed face, and leaned on Layue sullenly.
Layue said suddenly, "I remember my father said that many years ago, there was a Phoenix Temple on Phoenix Mountain under the jurisdiction of Yecheng, and there was a naturally occurring blue peony in that temple, I don't know if it was true or not. ”
The golden finger suddenly raised his eyes to look directly at Layue, his gaze was as sharp as a sword, which startled Layue.
"The female donor also knows about the blue peony?" Golden Finger suddenly asked, "Have you ever been to that temple?" Is there anything left now? ”
Just now, his eyes were like a sword, and he was so frightened that Layue's breath was suffocated, and he suddenly thought of the beggar, who also had such sharp eyes when he gave him silver taels.
So she patted her chest and shook her head, "I haven't been." Even this legend doesn't know whether it's true or not, I want to come to the world where there is a naturally generated blue peony, and the things that are generated against the principles of heaven are not monsters or monsters, and they are not necessarily a good thing. Not to mention that there may not really be such a blue peony, even if there is, I am afraid that it will not exist for a long time. ”
Goldfinger was silent.
Shi Yunqing said suddenly, "Mrs. Xing thinks that this peony is not allowed in heaven and earth?" Is it wrong to be different? If this peony really exists, does Mrs. Xing think that this thing can be killed? ”
Layue groaned slightly, and then replied, "That's not the case. Peony is the best of the flowers, beautiful and incompetent, the natural blue peony is like a red-faced beauty who captivates the city and the country, like a talented gentleman. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Seeing her stop suddenly, Shi Yunqing asked curiously.
Layue smiled, "Layue foolishly thinks that if this peony is born in this small temple in the mountains, it is like a beautiful woman born in troubled times, and a talented literati is born in a poor family. It's a disaster for them and for those who have had them. ”
"If there is no deep support for talent and appearance, it will become a disaster for them." Shi Yunqing chuckled and sighed, "That's what Mrs. Xing means?" ”
"Exactly, Shi Gongzi summed it up very much." Layue glanced at the thoughtful golden finger intentionally or unintentionally, and continued, "Although I have never been to that temple, nor have I seen the naturally strange blue peony, but the Phoenix Temple is a very small temple, and there are only a few small novices in it, if I am that monk, for the safety of the temple and the surrounding people, I will never leave such a bane." ”
Seeing that the golden-fingered monk's eyelids moved slightly, Layue took the opportunity to say again, "As the saying goes, the husband is not guilty of his crimes. ”
Xiaoyun scratched her head, turned her head and asked Young Lady Li, "Sister Qing, do you understand what Layue said?" Why do I think she's a little crazy? ”
Mrs. Li knew that Layue must know something, and this high-level remark obviously meant something, so she shook her head knowingly and did not speak.
Shi Yunqing suddenly sighed, as if he had unintentionally glanced at the golden-fingered monk, and stood up and said, "There are other things to do today, so I won't disturb you to enjoy the flowers and Yaxing." ”
After speaking, he floated away with the golden finger.
The two walked more than ten steps away, and the golden finger suddenly turned around, looked at Layue and said, "Mrs. Xing is full of Zen words, and the golden finger thanks Mrs. for her hard work." ”
La Yue smiled, "The master is a person outside the world, the best at recognizing the edge from ordinary conversations, I just nagged a woman's nonsense and humble opinion, if I can fortunately solve the master's current predicament, it is also an opportunity." If there is a hurdle that cannot be crossed in the coming day, and a knot that cannot be untied, maybe the master will be required to ignite. ”
Shi Yunqing looked at Layue seriously for a long time, and Layue, who was looking directly, was worried in his heart, and twisted the corners of his clothes uneasily, and then looked away.
The golden finger pronounced a Buddha horn and said goodbye and left.
Xiaoyun was a little embarrassed to take Layue's hand and explained, "Layue, don't mind, my brother has always been casual, no matter how many people are here, whether it is family or distinguished guests, he is always like this, he can come when he wants, and leave when he says, regardless of other people's faces." ”
Layue smiled and patted Xiaoyun's hand, "Your brother is a real celebrity, and he is not bound by secular etiquette, if he is restrained by secular rules, he has already fallen behind, and he will be polluted by today's elegant flower meeting." ”
"You understand my brother," Xiaoyun said with a grin, "If you hadn't married the young master of the Zhang family, I would have forced my brother to marry you into the door." ”
La Yue was stunned, "Although it is a joke, but such a fairy-like character with a clear breeze and bright moon, it is best to be friends, and the husband and wife are enemies in the previous life." Layue chuckled and shook the pomegranate flower silver ball sachet in her hand, "Rouge pomegranate flower Qingyuan Gaoyi, isn't it far better than Chai Mi and his wife's life." ”
Mrs. Li Shao said angrily, "Xiaoyun is messing around, how can you talk nonsense, and when your mother-in-law hears it, she will be beaten and scolded again." What kind of chaimi husband and wife have a lifetime, a woman marrying is jumping into the fire pit, can you still jump out of the sky, and you can't live a life without being with your husband? ”
