Zhang Xiaojing knelt on the top of the left very familiarly, Li Siye felt that the atmosphere was a little abnormal, so he also arched his hand and knelt under Zhang Xiaojing's side, and Wen Wuji sat opposite them.

Wen Ran was dressed in a plain shirt and a full-breasted Luo skirt, and the red gauze belt was tied around the chest to form a cross knot. Kneel on the other side of the table.

There was red-hot charcoal in the stove, and she picked up the fire and put a few more pieces of charcoal into it, put the bed on the stove, and brought the teapot up, waiting for the water to boil.

While she was waiting, she took the tea cake out of the paper bag, put it into a wooden mill, and pushed the saucer-shaped mill with both hands to break the tea cake. She picked up the mill and poured the broken tea into the Luohe.

The top of this Luo He is a fine sieve, and the bottom is a round box, and both hands hold the Luo He and shake it gently, and the tea powder falls into the round box.

After the water in the pot boiled, Wen Ran held Luo He in one hand, scooped in the tea powder with a teaspoon in the other hand, and scooped the salt powder from the salt bowl and poured it into the pot.

She carried the long chopsticks and gently stirred in the water, which is called ring hitting the soup heart, in order to make tea, the soup gradually boiled up fine foam, Wen Ran took a copper spoon and scooped the boiling water into the cooked bowl, and sat on the ground on his knees waiting for the three boils.

Li Siye was quietly appreciating beside her, she devoted herself to the sencha, this is the beauty of concentration and elegance, every movement and posture gives people a pleasing feeling, even Li Meier looked at her with admiration and envy, this is an honor that brother Li Siye can't get if he wins the fist.

The glow of the fire from the charcoal of the stove reflected on her face, causing her forehead to flush, but the flush was slightly damp and slightly orange, and if you looked closely, it was the refracted luster of the sweat of her skin, which made her forehead slightly fuller. In this dark room, she is the only one with such a colorful light, as if bringing Li Siye into the blazing and rich Dunhuang murals.

The tea soup boiled again, Wen Ran held two pieces of kudzu linen cloth in his hands, poured water into the pot with a cooked bowl in both hands, and at the same time used fire to clamp the unburned charcoal in the stove in the charcoal basin, and the tea soup was equivalent to frying.

She brought the tea bowls on a tray and put a wooden spoon into the pot to pour the tea into the five bowls. Picked up the tray and put it on the board, and gave the first bowl of tea to Zhang Xiaojing, the second bowl to Li Siye, then his father Wen Wuji and Li Mei'er, and finally himself.

Li Siye gently picked it up and took a small sip, the taste was salty and slightly bitter, and then there was a faint sweetness.

In the quiet tea drinking occasion, even a rough man like Zhang Xiaojing sat upright and took the tea cup in his hand to taste it.

Wen Wuji took the initiative to ask the two: "Your cases have been solved?" ”

Zhang Xiaojing nodded silently, and glanced at Li Siye without a trace with the rest of his eyes, this may be some kind of hint, in this case, Li Siye felt that it was better to talk less.

Wen Wuji no longer took the initiative to mention the case, but asked sideways, "This has no effect on your errand." ”

Zhang Xiaojing's silkworm eyebrows raised upward, obviously thinking of this question. The errand may not be done, and the concubine Yang Hui can give up holding them accountable under the persuasion of the princess, but it does not mean that the grievances will be written off, even if the concubine is a big man and does not deal with them villains, the imps under the hands of the king of Hades will not let them have a good time.

"The errand may be something wrong." Zhang Xiaojing said vaguely.

Wen Ran scooped another cup of tea for everyone, and then pouted and looked up and said, "It's okay if you can't do it, this kind of errand is not done by good people." ”

"Smell the dye." Wen Wuji glanced at his daughter with a slightly reproachful gaze.

Zhang Xiaojing didn't care, and then said with a wry smile: "Not only is it not done by a good person, but it is not done by a person." It is the credit of the boss that the case was handled, but we were asked to fight the thunder if it was messed up, but fortunately, I have worked hard for half a year, and there has been no mistake, only this time ......"

Zhang Xiaojing stopped his voice and picked up the tea bowl to cover up his mistake.

After everyone drank the tea soup, Wen Ran got up and took the tea bowl to clean. Zhang Xiaojing got up to say goodbye, and Li Siye also said goodbye.

Li Mei'er stood beside him and tugged at the corner of his clothes, raised his head and asked his brother, "I want to stay here for a few more days, can I?" ”

Li Siye gave full play to the majesty of a father and brother: "Why do you still want to live? Don't have a home of your own? It's already very annoying. ”

Wen Wuji smiled kindly: "It's okay, you can stay if you want, and you can stay as long as you want." ”

Li Mei'er didn't dare to disobey her brother, so she followed Li Siye to say goodbye and go downstairs, and Wen Wuji's father and daughter sent them to the door of the incense shop. Li Siye found that he was in a bad mood, especially for himself, and his expression was like feeding tea to a dog.

He carefully thought about what he said wrong during the tea meal, as if he didn't say anything, how he suddenly offended this young lady.

Zhang Xiaojing accompanied Li Siye brothers and sisters back, they parted ways near Zhaoguofang, Zhang Xiaojing's residence was in Xuanyangfang, but Li Siye lived in Xinchangfang, and they went on different paths.

When they parted, Zhang Xiaojing arched his hand and said to Li Siye: "Brother Siye, rest more after you go back, and as for the errand, I will find a way in the future." ”

"Jinglang don't have to worry, I don't want to be a bad person, there will be other ways."

Li Siye was willing to be a bad person under Zhang Xiaojing, mainly out of strong curiosity, but now that his curiosity is gone, he will naturally have other ideas, such as taking advantage of some money in hand, first go to Chang'an City to familiarize himself with it, and do his old job, Wudoulou in Xishi has not been there for a long time.

Zhang Xiaojing said goodbye and left, and Li Siye should also return to the rented place.

Li Mei'er stood beside him and pouted her lips, even walking slowly, Li Siye turned around and called her, but she also ignored her.

"What's wrong with you? How many days did you live in someone's house and still get it? Children can't be greedy, and I know you love their tea. ”

Li Mei'er shouted at her brother: "You like to eat tea!" I want to learn sencha, I want to buy sencha utensils!"

"I'm going to make incense! Even if I don't make incense, I want to smoke incense, I want to make myself fragrant!"

"I also want a Luo skirt, the kind embroidered with honeysuckle flowers, I want to wear a silver hairpin and a step shake!"

Li Siye looked at her dumbfounded, did she broaden her horizons and generate greater needs? Or did the smell of the dye take her to ruin?

"Do you still want to live in a tall building? Someone to serve every day?" Li Siye squatted in front of Li Mei'er, and could feel the dissatisfaction exhaled from her small Qiong nose.

"Nope." Li Mei'er wiped a handful of tears and murmured: "I just want to be like Sister Wenran, so I want to stay for a few more days."

Li Siye suddenly understood Li Mei'er, as a poor child from Gaoling County, she suddenly entered Chang'an City, except for the dazzle of the first few days, she finally found the gap between herself and the girl in Chang'an, which is also related to her fragile inferiority complex.

He grinned: "You want these things, I can buy them for you, you don't need to live in someone else's house, you can have them."

"But." Li Mei'er burst into tears and said with a smile: "Our family has no money, and the ten yuan is your family's wealth, brother."

"It's okay, you just go and spend it, Brother will find a way to earn it after you spend it, Brother won't let you live in Qiaodong anymore."

Li Siye touched her head, and the two horns on the top of her head were gone, turning into double buns, tied up with red silk threads.

"This is what Sister Wendi pricked you?"

"Well, it's beautiful."

"Yes, let's go, go home first, and see if there is anything lost at home."

Li Siye took Mei'er back to the courtyard gate of Xinchangfang, and there was a copper lock left by Wen Wuji hanging on the courtyard door, he took out the key from his belt, opened the lock and pushed the door into the house.

There were a lot of broken leaves and hay in the yard, and when I walked into the east wing, I saw straw mats, felts, and quilts rolled up in the corners.

Li Mei'er hurriedly ran over, spread out the cover, and rolled the jug out of it, and the coins poured out.

She hurriedly put the scattered coins into the jug with her hands, patted her chest with her little hands, and said happily: "Fortunately, the money is not lost." ”

Li Siye calculated for a while, and the ten yuan won from the fight, excluding the purchase of buyers and banquets for Zhang Xiaojing and the bad people, there were still more than nine yuan. To meet Li Mei'er's sencha needs, as well as to buy spices, Luo Skirt's expenses are also his consistent, and the remaining money is enough to meet this year's expenses.

But in order to plan for a rainy day and pursue a higher quality of material life, he needs to find another way to make money.

He sat cross-legged on the felt, yawned and said, "Brother will go with you the day after tomorrow to buy what you want, and now I am very sleepy, I will talk about it after sleeping." ”
