Text Chapter 9 Confession on a Snowy Night
Entering the pavilion door, Ye Luo's steps were lighter, and the hot water in the purple clay pot on the indoor stove was boiling, and the hot air was so inflated that the lid of the pot was beating and popping.
She brought the tea set and put it on the table, the head of the table was not high, it was very good to sit on the ground, and she bowed, and Ye Luo sat down with her legs curled up after thanking her.
The tea was soaked in the cup, the grass was green and goose yellow, and the faint fragrance of tea entered the nose, Li Feiyan handed over a cup and put it on the table on Ye Luo's chest.
The white teeth of the moon looked extreme between the lips of the smile, and he murmured: "The wine is still there, soothing and soothing!" Ye Gongzi, how about tasting it?"
Ye Luo smelled fragrant, or took a sip, and boasted: "It's really good tea, this tea is produced on the hills of the water town, and it is difficult to find it in the north, thanks to the girl's love, I have this opportunity to taste, according to the taste, hue and brewing techniques, it should be the top-grade 'snow in the fog'." ”
She looked a little surprised, clapped her hands and praised: "Childe is really good eyesight, he has such a profound study of tea, admire, admire." ”
Ye Luo raised his hand and took another sip, his expression was calm and happy, and he said: "I once went south with my father, and I had a face-to-face relationship with the tea saint Lu Ziqian, and I had to give a copy of the "Book of Tea" annotation, so I know a little bit about it. Because the style of drinking tea and talking about elegance can only arise in prosperous times, the authorities are now competing for hegemony, wars are rampant, and there is no interest in the tea ceremony, and few people know about it. Besides, the people are based on food and survival, and they don't have enough to eat.
She nodded lightly, her face suddenly became a little solemn, and said: "Sad Kyushu disputes, the people of the world are caught in fire and water, how many wives are separated, families are broken, and the troubled times are destined to be a blood-stained tragedy, a general's platform full of corpses and bones." ”
"What the girl said is that if you prosper, the people will suffer, and if you die, the people will suffer. But only the unification of the world can avoid those unnecessary wars and those miserable separations. ”
Li Feiyan got up, took a step, and knelt on both knees.
Ye Luo was in a hurry, and hurriedly got up to help her up, but she was very stubborn and difficult to listen to persuasion.
"Yan'er is unfortunate and has become a dusty woman, thank you for not disliking it and helping to save her. ”
Immediately bowed his head, the pear blossoms in his eyes brought rain, and he wept sadly.
"Ye Gongzi, Yan'er still has something to ask for, and I hope to agree. ”
Ye Luo lifted her arms hard and pulled her to her feet.
"Why should the girl be so polite, if she can help, she will do her best. ”
She continued: "My real name is not Li Feiyan, but Jiang Ling, the county lord of Nanzhao, three years ago Nanzhao civil strife, the remaining five edicts usurped power, and conspired with Zhang Guo to kill his father, and the mother concubine was also taken captive, was molested by Zhang Qiu, the prince of Zhang Guo, and imprisoned in the Tongque Tai of Zhang Palace, the mother concubine could not bear the humiliation and threw herself into the well and died. I was escorted away from the rebellion, and then wandered around and ended up on the streets, where I was trafficked. ”
Ye Luo showed a look of pity and sympathy, and replied with a little surprise: "It turns out that you are the county lord of Nanzhao, three years ago I heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that Nanzhao was in civil strife, blood and tears became a river, Zhang Guo reaped many benefits, and the Jiang family was slaughtered, and no one survived." ”
She looked melancholy, added some warm tea, and said familiarly: "The woman has no talent, she lives incognito, and she just wants to find an opportunity one day to kill that white boy Duan Chun with her own hands." The debt he owes must be repaid with a knife. I hate that my swordsmanship is difficult to achieve, so I can only dance in this red-sleeved pavilion to entertain the merry boy. I entered the museum three years ago, but fortunately I was taken care of by Pan's mother and became a personal maid. ”
She sat down on Ye Luo's armrest, and returned to her place.
"Mother Pan is such a good person, maybe she understands the helplessness of you women better, and sympathizes with you as much as she sympathizes with her own past. ”
As he spoke, Ye Luo fell into deep thought, his eyes not talking.
Li Feiyan frowned and asked, "Young Master Ye, do you have something on your mind?"
"It's the same end of the world, recalling some passing events. ”
Li Feiyan on the side hesitated to guess his thoughts, but he didn't ask in detail, everyone has an unspeakable past, as for himself, he chose to believe in Ye Luo's personality.
She paused for a while and slowly spoke: "Ye Gongzi, it is okay for you and I to be of the same age, I want to worship you as a teacher, please accept me as an apprentice, I will learn swords, just to kill one person." ”
Ye Luo trembled after hearing this, and was a little at a loss. The tea was also accidentally sprayed on the table.
The atmosphere suddenly became cheerful, and both of them were amused, showing some rude embarrassment.
Li Feiyan also looked shy on her face, licked her lips and explained: "Although this matter is a bit abrupt, I hope that the son will be fulfilled." Yan'er doesn't know many people, but she has always been very accurate, and she will live up to women's expectations. ”
Ye Luo also joked, embarrassed to turn her away thousands of miles away, and said casually: "Since the girl wants to learn, I will promise you." It's just that learning a sword is not just a sword dance move, but more importantly, internal force cultivation, a qualified sword cultivator, needs to go through tempering. Where the blade fell, it was dripping with blood, and when you raised your eyes, your head fell to the ground. Killing is not a quick thing, you have to have enough willpower to face it calmly. ”
"Haha...... Master, you agreed. Li Feiyan jumped up and clapped her hands, and the pleated skirt was soft ripples.
"Girl, don't call it that, I promise you to practice the sword because your enemy is not dead, I know this feeling best, let them live happily for a day, the heart is like a stab, I sympathize with you, but also sympathize with myself. ”
"Master......" Li Feiyan tugged at his arm and begged.
Ye Luo looked raw, his cold eyes hung on his face, and he gently pushed his arm away.
"I'm also homeless, so why don't I call you my sister, and I can take care of you in the future. ”
"If Master doesn't dislike it, I think I'm really happy to be my brother, and I don't know who is older?"
Ye Luo responded: "Twenty!"
Li Feiyan replied: "Twenty!"
Ye Luo continued: "Born in early winter and October. ”
Li Feiyan smiled and said: "Ladong was born in December. ”
"Brother Luo!"
Ye Luo trembled again, the once familiar voice was like a replay, and his heavy heart was like staring at the white-bladed sword dyed with blood, stabbing into her body inch by inch.
"Girl, it's dark at night, so you can rest! Being in the Qinglou is not a good place to go, since I promised you to practice swords, and recognize you as my sister, that is, a relative, I will come to think of a way to redeem myself for you. ”
"Brother Luo, Mother Pan treats me very well, you don't need to bother, the silver taels for redemption require a thousand gold, and it is difficult for the super-rich businessmen to bear it, not to mention low-level civilians like us. In the Red Sleeve Pavilion, Pan's mother is just a shopkeeper, and Wei Xiang is the real person behind the scenes. ”
Ye Luo asked suspiciously, "Wei Xiang Xu Chonghuan?"
"Exactly, the people of the rivers and lakes are called one or two marquis, the only hobby is money, and if you grab one or two, you will be killed, not to mention the daughter, the eight servants under him are all top masters, and the name of the 'eight dogs' is notorious in the rivers and lakes, you must have heard of it. ”
"Rest in peace!"
Ye Luo turned and walked out of the corridor.
Outside the window, goose feathers and snow were like flocculents, scattered in the cold wind.
