Chapter 404: The Meaning of Peace

I have known Ji Yuan for many years, and I have long known that he is extraordinary, but this is the first time Zhu Yanxu has come to visit.

The older a person gets, the more thoroughly he can see things, compared to back then, Zhu Yanxu's perception of Ji Yuan at this time is more special, just watching Ji Yuan slowly grind ink, the previous nervous and apprehensive mood actually slowly calmed down, and the breathing amplitude became more and more gentle.

"Master Zhu, Ji Mou just boiled water, how about we borrow flowers to offer Buddha and use the tea leaves you brought to make tea and drink together?"

Ji Yuan will just ink the ink, looked up at Zhu Yanxu and asked.

"That's naturally okay, Mr. Ji wants to drink Youzhou Fengjian tea or our Jizhou pre-rain tea? I Zhu have brought some, all of which are good teas given by relatives and friends. ”

"Tea bar before the rain, I haven't drunk it for many years. ”

"Hey!"

Zhu Yanxu lowered his head and bent over, rummaged through the sack he brought, found a yellow bamboo can, shook it and then twisted it open, and a faint fragrance of tea floated out.

With Ji Yuan's sense of smell, he naturally knows that this is the best tea, no worse than the one sent by the Wei family, look at Zhu Yanxu's appearance, the hand holding the bamboo pot is already old and folded, and the complexion is quite ruddy, but the sideburns are pale and marked, and there is only seven points left in the memory of the strong Zhu County Lieutenant.

Ji Yuan took the bamboo jar from Zhu Yanxu's hand, said "wait a minute", and walked to the kitchen.

Zhu Yanxu watched Ji Yuan leave, and then looked around at the small pavilion of Ju'an, the well not far away was covered with a large stone slab, and the surrounding houses also looked old, the paint was dull or peeling, but it looked very clean.

The jujube tree overhead is much larger than the outside looking through the front of the courtyard, like a large canopy, covering most of the courtyard of Ju'an Pavilion, but the magic is that the winter sun can always project through the branches, which makes it look very bright and warm even under the shade of the tree.

Looking back at the desktop, the plaque of Ju'an Xiaoge is not a hardcover fine mounting, just a wooden board with a polished edge, fortunately, the wood should be OK, and there is no crack or any trace of moth, as for the words on it, it is indeed mottled and broken, and it is not clear at all.

Because he brought a treasure inkstone, Zhu Yanxu's eyes will naturally fall on the four treasures of the study room placed outside by Ji Yuan, of course, there is no paper now, so there are only three treasures.

The ink must be the best ink, and the pen on the ceramic pen holder seems to be very special, Zhu Yanxu looked at it from a few angles, and felt that the sunlight fell on the pen with different luster, which was very pleasing to the eye, and he also had this feeling for the first time in a pen.

But the inkstone, it looks like it's just an ordinary old black inkstone, Zhu Yanxu feels that it should be the inkstone he brought, and he thinks that he still has to push it for a while, maybe Mr. Ji is just polite.

The accountant also came out of the kitchen with a tray and a teapot on it.

"Master Zhu has been waiting for a long time, he hasn't returned home for a long time and hasn't entertained guests for a long time, he is a little lazy, you should have prepared tea since then. ”

Zhu Yanxu hurriedly stood up to help.

"Hey, where is Mr. Ji, it was Zhu who visited in a hurry and disturbed Mr. ”

The two poured tea, Zhu Yanxu blew it, and Ji Yuan put it aside to cool.

Zhu Yanxu actually didn't have anything to ask for, but seeing Ji Yuan, he just wanted to set up an almost lala relationship, thinking that Gong Yin ran so diligently to Ju'an Xiaoge back then, thinking that he had already recognized that Mr. Ji was extraordinary.

Although Zhu Yanxu also understood that Yin Gong's ability to reach his current status must be dominated by his own talent and hard work, he couldn't help but wonder if Mr. Ji had also helped.

Originally, Zhu Yanxu was a martial artist, although he was not a wooden person, but he was not very talkative, and he was entangled in how to talk to Ji Yuan before he came, but now there are many words that come to his lips.

He blew the hot tea, smelled the tea but didn't drink it immediately, and watched Ji Yuan clean up the remaining vermilion paint on the wooden board a little bit, and said with a little emotion.

"Sir hasn't been back for more than ten years, has he?"

Ji Yuan scraped the wooden board with a small shell and nodded.

"Sort of. ”

Zhu Yanxu took a shallow sip of tea, looked at the branches and leaves of the jujube tree swaying slightly above his head, and then looked at Ji Yuan.

"I'm old in a blink of an eye, but Mr. Ji is still the same as he was back then!"

Ji Yuan smiled.

"Lord Zhu praised it falsely, adults should be old and strong, and their demeanor has not diminished back then, presumably Lord Chen Sheng Chen is the same. ”

If it is replaced by the statement of Ji Yuan's previous life, Chen Sheng and Zhu Yanxu are the "Ning'an County Twin Heroes" who have influenced Ning'an County the most in the past few decades, and it is the turn of Yin Zhaoxian, who has become a blockbuster.

Without this Wen Yiwu and the two parent officials, Ning'an County, which was once poor, would not be where it is today, so Ji Yuan also admires these two very much, at least he thinks that he may not be able to do better than them when it comes to being an official.

Zhu Yanxu drank tea and tried again.

"I heard that after Mr. left, the jujube tree in this Ju'an Pavilion has never bloomed again, and now that Mr. is back, should the jujube tree bloom?"

Although not many people in Ning'an County remember it today, this special fragrance of jujube flowers once permeated almost half of the county, and Zhu Yanxu still remembers it vividly.

"Whether it blooms or not naturally depends on its own meaning, but Lord Zhu is right, if the flower season is still here next year, it should be able to bloom. ”

"Oh, I see, that's it!"

Ji Yuan didn't talk to him sloppily in these few words, even if he asked what to answer, Zhu Yanxu had already realized in his heart, and he didn't speak again for the time being, and he kept taking a sip of tea from time to time to watch the movements of Ji Yuan's hand, but the hand holding the tea cup was hard for a while and relaxed for a while, obviously hesitating about something.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Yanxu drank two cups of tea, and Ji Yuan finally cleaned up the original vermilion paint on the wooden board, and shook it lightly under the table, and the paint crumbs fell into the ground one after another, without a trace floating to the two of them at the table.

When Ji Yuan put the wooden board back on the table, reached out and gently stroked it before picking up the pen, Zhu Yanxu's heart couldn't help but be attracted by it.

Holding the sleeve and holding the pen, dipping the ink, as if a special rhythm was implied in it, Zhu Yanxu looked at it seriously, and he didn't notice the already very quiet Ju'an Xiaoge, and the sounds around him were far away at the moment.

"Lord Zhu, writing can make people's hearts calm, and the same is true for watching people write, Lord Zhu and take a closer look, and ask adults to judge Ji's words for a while. ”

Ji Yuan's voice was calm and powerful, and he moved the ink-stained wolf to the wooden card, and then slowly fell.

The ink was dyed a little, far larger than the area covered by the pen, but Ji Yuan didn't care, turned his wrist and moved his arm to write slowly, and the iron and silver hooks were vigorous and powerful.

Zhu Yanxu looked at Ji Yuan's writing, and the wonderful thing is that it is clear that the tip of the wolf pen in his hand is as thick as his thumb, but the handwriting that falls is at least two and a half fingers wide.

After a long time, Ji Yuan finished writing the last horizontal, put away the pen and placed it on the pen holder on the side, and after looking at the plaque for a while, he said to Zhu Yanxu with a smile.

"Master Zhu, please also taste and taste!"

Zhu Yanxu was still immersed in the feeling just now, and even Ji Yuan's words didn't break this rhythm, he just said "yes", stood up and walked to Ji Yuan's side, looking down at the plaque that never left.

At a glance from the front, the four words "Ju'an Xiaoge" are not rigid or soft, and a sense of freshness and comfort almost reveals the surface, which is a feeling of peace of mind, stability and concentration, which makes him physically and mentally comfortable.

In particular, the word "Ju'an" made Zhu Yanxu calm and calm, and even the lack of energy caused by poor rest during this period of time was greatly alleviated, and he looked full of energy.

"Good words, good words, really good words!"

Zhu Yanxu can also write literately, but that's all, he can't say any compliments full of style, but these good sounds are sincere, he has never seen such beautiful and charming words.

"In this way, Lord Zhu will look at it for a while. ”

Ji Yuan said this, and he began to pick up the teacup and drink tea, obviously it was winter, but the tea that he had been sitting for so long was just the right temperature for the entrance.

The afternoon sun in winter is very warm, and the breath under the jujube tree in Ju'an Xiaoge is also very comfortable, especially in this state, Zhu Yanxu feels that every breath is very comfortable and fresh.

Before he knew it, a long time had passed, Ji Yuan stood up and approached Zhu Yanxu, who was still standing.

"Lord Zhu, Lord Zhu, it's time to wake up!"

Zhu Yanxu perked up and woke up like waking up from a dream.

"Ahh

"Well, thank you for the compliment, but it's not early, and it's time for the adults to go home, and the lady and the children will be worried about it in a while. ”

Ji Yuan said, pointing to the sky.

Zhu Yanxu was stunned for a moment, looked at the sky, it was already a lot darker, and although it was blocked by the house and courtyard wall, he could still see a touch of sunset in the west, indicating that it was not because the clouds were covering the sun at this moment, but that the sun had really set.

"This, how did you ...... so quickly?"

Zhu Yanxu was halfway through his words, and suddenly reacted to something.

"Mr. Ji, is that the word?"

"Hehe, Master Zhu, don't think about it, go home, Ji doesn't have any dishes at home, so I won't leave you to eat. ”

Zhu Yanxu didn't say anything more, and arched his hands.

"Okay, Mr. Ji sits down, Zhu will leave, this inkstone ......"

"Take it back. ”

"Uh, okay!"

Zhu Yanxu didn't dare to insist more, for fear of being too polite and displeasing people, so he picked up the box of the inkstone alone, left the pastries and wine, and then went down to the door with Ji Yuan.

"Mr. Ji doesn't need to send it, Zhu will go home!"

"Okay, Master Zhu walks slowly. ”

"Hey!"

Zhu Yanxu arched his hand again and again, subconsciously glanced at the top of the small pavilion door a few times, and then turned around and walked outside, he couldn't tell how he felt today, but he vaguely understood in his heart that this experience was very much what people could think.

Anyway, it's the right time to do it today!
