Chapter 23 Strong Tea Drinking
"Fourth sister-in-law, don't worry, how can I doubt Mo'er?" King Huan repeatedly reassured, looking a little helpless.
Princess Qi sighed lightly, and was about to say something, when she saw Pei'er rushing over at a wild speed, and couldn't help frowning: "Why are you running so fast?"
Pei'er gasped for breath, relieved herself a little, and hurriedly said, "The young master is back!"
Before Princess Qi could react, King Huan had already asked in surprise, "Mo'er is back?"
Princess Qi stood up, just took a step, and remembered that King Huan was also there, so she hurriedly looked at him: "Thirteenth brother go with you?"
King Huan said with a smile: "Fourth sister-in-law, let's go first, Mo'er just came back and needs to take a rest." I'll sit for a while, and then it's not too late to go. ”
Princess Qi pursed her lips: "Actually, Ouchi's affairs are so busy, I'm already sorry for letting you come over on purpose." I'm waiting for Mo'er's news now, I'm still ......"
King Huan hurriedly interrupted with a smile: "Fourth sister-in-law, where is this? Even if the fourth sister-in-law is not in a hurry, I am worried to death." Now that Mo'er is back, she can finally put her mind at ease. Fourth sister-in-law, let's go, I'll wait here for a while. ”
Princess Qi hesitated for a moment, but she was still reluctant to give up her son, apologized again, and then left in a hurry.
"How's it going? I feel like your fourth sister-in-law has a bit of the style of the past, right?"
King Huan picked up the tea and was about to drink it, but when he heard the sound, he put it back and stood up: "Fourth brother." ”
King Qi nodded: "Sit down, what are you doing so formally?"
King Huan waited for him to sit down before sitting back down: "Compared with the heroism of the year, the fourth sister-in-law is already another person." ”
King Qi sighed rather distressedly: "Finally, Mo'er is back, otherwise I'm afraid she will become the woman who can chase me all over half the palace with a sword." ”
King Huan pondered for a moment the size of half of the Qi Palace, and couldn't help but say, "It's terrifying. ”
King Qi said earnestly: "So you must be cautious when marrying a wife in the future." ”
King Huan held back for a while, but still couldn't hold back his laughter: "Fourth brother don't worry, my palace is not even the size of the fourth brother's palace, and it will be over after chasing for a while." ”
King Qi was slightly stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "Are you so happy?"
King Huan said: "Brother Jiu persuaded me to marry a wife a few days ago, and the reason of the fourth brother can help me drag on for a few years, how can I not be happy?"
King Qi smiled: "It's okay, I didn't get married until I was in my thirties, and you are not even thirty, don't worry." If Lao Jiu says it again, I'll help you block it. ”
King Huan said happily: "Then thank you Fourth Brother." He picked up the cup and took a few sips of the tea that had cooled, and then asked, "Fourth brother, don't you want to take a look?"
King Qi was silent for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "Mo'er is crowned when she sees it, and she is not a child, do I still need to worry so much? Just let his mother say a few words, and I will follow a few more words, which seems redundant." ”
King Huan said: "But the fourth brother is no less worried than the fourth sister-in-law." ”
King Qi looked at the paintings on the wall in a daze for a while before he slowly spoke: "She is worried that Mo'er will be injured, afraid that he will be in pain when he remembers the past." But I'm not. I'm afraid that he did something wrong and regretted it. ”
"Wrong?" King Huan's eyes changed slightly, "Fourth brother also guessed?"
King Qi looked at him and asked lightly, "It's not hard to guess, isn't it?"
King Huan was silent for a moment: "I just don't want to guess what he doesn't want me to know, and it's very hard for him to hide it." ”
King Qi muttered, "Yes, it's not his fault in the first place. ”
But the fourth brother felt that he had done something wrong. King Huan let out a sigh with a little sigh in his eyes, "This is not wrong. ”
King Qi looked at the tea bowl on the table: "Originally, water and tea were two unrelated things, but they were mixed together when you didn't pay attention. You don't like to drink strong tea, why do you still drink it?
"Because I'm thirsty. ”
King Qi bowed: "So all you need is water, not tea." But you need water, even if it's mixed with a taste you don't like. So you drink the tea, and all that's left is these scraps. Compared to mixing what you need and what you don't need before, the rest of the things that you completely dislike should be even more annoying, right?"
Seeing that King Huan still didn't seem to understand, he continued to add: "It's just a choice. There is also an option - to pour out the nasty smell along with the water you need. It may seem like you've eradicated the taste, but in fact you'll find that what's left is unadulterated with any of the parts you need, complete dregs, and your thirst. ”
"The sensible thing to do is to drink it to temporarily quench your thirst. Emotionally, it is to pour it out. King Qi looked at King Huan quietly, "Which one do you think is wrong?"
King Huan shook the teacup and muttered: "Tea is hatred, water is the effect of Bao Zheng, that thirst ...... Is it a puppet palace?"
King Qi nodded approvingly: "Yes." The puppet palace provokes, and Ouchi will act as the force that rushes to confront the puppet palace. At this time, allowing the puppet palace to kill Bao Zheng is undoubtedly self-defeating. Although it was relieved for a while, it made the urgent need even stronger. ”
King Huan looked at the tea cup for a while, and poured out the tea with a flip of his wrist, and then showed the clean tea cup to King Qi: "It doesn't look difficult to pour out the dregs together." ”
King Qi looked at him with a smile: "Are you thirsty?"
King Huan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Fourth brother, I just found out that you don't look like a general on the bloody battlefield, but like an old monk who fights very sharply." ”
King Qi couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Lack of beating!"
King Huan sighed: "Fourth brother, let me ask you why do you think Mo'er did something wrong, and this is the time truth of a cup of tea? I'm done listening to you, do you still owe a beating?"
King Qi glanced at him: "That's calm." ”
King Huan smiled and stopped joking: "Fourth brother, hearing you say this, I also have a little emotion. ”
King Qi looked at him in surprise and nodded: "Let's hear it." ”
King Huan said: "If I am extremely thirsty, I will definitely find another bowl of tea to drink." I could pinch my nose and drink such a strong tea, but if it was a bowl of old tea that had been brewed for ten years, I would have poured it. And when someone saw that I wouldn't let me fall, someone came to help me take it out, and I was going to dance with joy. Save me from watching it lose my appetite even if I don't drink it. ”
Seeing that King Qi was about to speak, he hurriedly added: "Maybe it would be a pity for someone like the fourth brother who likes strong tea, but I'm happy!" stood up, pretended to take a few steps in contemplation, and said: "I think I'm still very young, and strong tea is something that only the elderly like to drink." When I was twenty years old, I was the most unaccustomed to strong tea, and I poured it once I saw it, no matter how valuable the tea was. Cherish the tea you don't like...... It's also an old man's talent. He chuckled lightly and bowed: "I have something to do, go first, the fourth brother doesn't need to send it." "The soles of his feet are anointed and gone in the blink of an eye.
King Qi was stunned, and shook his head with a wry smile for a long time: "What has you calmed down? ”
——————————————————————
"Mo'er, you...... Injured?" Princess Qi came over quickly, and she didn't bother to knock on the door, she pushed the door directly and walked in, and just after she spoke, she saw a house full of messes. Zhao Qingyan sat on the bed, her fat trousers and trousers rolled up, her excessively slender legs wrapped in circles of cloth, and a pile of blood-stained metal brackets were thrown on the ground.
Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but be stunned when she saw her break in, reached out and shook off the thin quilt on her side and put it on her lap, sat up straighter, and bowed her head in courtesy: "Mother." ”
Princess Qi went to lift the quilt: "You let me see your injuries." ”
Zhao Qingyan stopped her hand and said lightly: "I'm fine, it's just that the horse riding was bumpy, and the bracket hurt my leg." It doesn't hurt, so my mother doesn't have to worry. ”
Princess Qi was stopped by him, so she didn't insist on looking, but just complained: "Running out without saying hello, it's so careless." You don't feel pain, but I'm very distressed. Twenty days, do you know how worried we are?"
Zhao Qingyan listened to her complaints, smiled and nodded, and apologized: "My son knows it's wrong, but I'm too anxious, and I won't be next time." ”
"I never knew how to make others worry. Princess Qi's voice was a little vibrato, and she hurriedly looked away, "You've been using this bracket for a long time, isn't it inappropriate, do you need to replace it with a new one?"
Zhao Qingyan replied along with her words: "Fortunately, maybe the internal force has been a little messy recently, and it doesn't hinder it." Tang Xiaoyu has already helped me prepare a new one, and it should come out in a month or two. ”
Princess Qi looked at the brackets scattered on the ground with some distraction, and said in a low voice: "This thing is really magical, and it can be moved with the help of internal force movement." Mo'er, what does it feel like to walk with this thing?"
Zhao Qingyan smiled lightly: "I don't feel anything, as long as the internal force is stable, I can move around easily, and my legs are almost the same." By the way, this new bracket is very good, if I can adapt well, many normal people's movements can be completed, and it will not fall apart so easily. ”
Princess Qi asked, "Really?"
Zhao Qingyan bent his eyes and smiled: "Yes, it took a lot of effort." Mother knows the blood silk of the Western Regions, right? Well, of course it's not poisoned. It is connected with silk threads made of 'silver wire' that the puppet palace is proud of, and the skin of the young deer is also used in the original soft skin, which is particularly tough and soft after soaking, and is almost the same as the deerskin gloves used by the disciples of the Tang Sect. It's a pity that it's only enough to make a set, and there is no way to replace it, but it will be very durable. I've tried, and the feeling of internal force passing through is quite smooth, much better than this one, with that I can move around more on my own and don't have to be in a wheelchair every day. It's a pity that I have to owe Tang Xiao a foolish favor again. ”
Princess Qi looked at her son's happy smile, and her heart softened: "That's great." ”
Zhao Qingyan blinked, and his voice lowered a little: "I see that my big magnolia tree has been dug up and replaced with a new one, and the bluestone slab has also been replaced with a new one, is it the meaning of my father or mother?"
Princess Qi said: "Yes, your father said that the tree was unlucky, and said to replace it." I don't think you want to leave this courtyard, so change it thoroughly, and replace the blood-stained bluestone slabs with you. The magnolia tree you have raised for so many years was finally obtained when you were a child, so you won't be unhappy if you replace it, right?"
Zhao Qingyan said regretfully: "It's a little nostalgic, but it doesn't matter." However, I also buried a jar of wine underneath, did I break it or let my father take it away?"
Princess Qi stretched out her finger and pointed at his forehead, and scolded with a smile: "You know the wine, when is it still thinking about it, really." I'll put it away for you, and in the afternoon, while your father is away, I'll ask someone to bring it to you, okay?"
Zhao Qingyan said with a smile: "I know that my mother is the best, and my mother still loves me." ”
Princess Qi looked at her with disgust: "You have to promise me not to drink indiscriminately." ”
Zhao Qingyan nodded again and again: "Of course, of course, I will take a small sip when I am in good health, and I will definitely not drink it if I am uncomfortable." ”
Princess Qi gave him a blank look: "Okay, you're tired just now, take a good rest, I'll go back first." I'll just talk to your father about him, and you don't have to go out of your way to see him. ”
Zhao Qingyan said: "Well, I know, my mother will go slowly." ”
Watching Princess Qi leave, Zhao Qingyan smiled: "Jin'er, wipe the bracket clean, and then help me get a set of clothes, a thicker one." I'm going to the palace. ”
Jin'er was stunned and said, "The young master is going to enter the palace now, the young master has just come back, won't he rest for a while?"
Zhao Qingyan shook his head: "No, I still can't rest assured, go to the Qilin Pavilion to check something." If my father comes, just tell him I'm going to Ouchi. ”
Jin'er hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then do you need to prepare the young master's dinner?"
Zhao Qingyan said: "Cook some porridge, if I don't come back later, you don't have to wait for me, just light a candle in the house, I'll come back to call you." ”
Jin'er said: "Okay, the young master had better come back early, otherwise the prince and the princess should say that we don't look at the young master when they find out." ”
Zhao Qingyan smiled: "I'll try my best." ”
——————————————————————
"Where's Mo'er?" King Huan walked into the room and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Zhao Qingyan was not there.
Jin'er said: "The young master went to the palace, saying that he was going to the Qilin Pavilion to check some things." ”
King Huan complained with a little headache: "This speed is too fast, isn't it?"
Jin'er pursed her lips and smiled and asked, "Is there anything the prince looking for the young master?"
King Huan said: "It's not a big deal, I didn't catch up for two days." Well, I'm just about to go back to Ouchi, and maybe I'll be able to see him again. You can also help with a word, let him have a good rest, don't worry, Brother Jiu and I will come back in two days. ”
Jin'er nodded: "I remember, don't worry, don't worry, you must bring the words." ”
