132, old man
Tang Ling didn't order a drink today, and put the same cup of tea in front of him. Seeing Yun'er's intoxicated appearance, he smiled lightly and explained: "The Three Absolute Residences are different from the Yanxian Tower, which is famous for the name given by Taizong and the presence of immortals, so the status of those high-ranking officials and nobles is too heavy. The three absolute residences are the love of the literati and the scholars have been handed down, when the Wei Guogong Li Jing, Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng, etc., also like to stop here in their spare time, boiling tea and art, the former Sui Emperor Wen Yang Jian after ascending the throne, also remember this, and occasionally will come to enjoy a relaxing time. ”
"I see. Yun'er looked around, "If I'm not mistaken, there was also a guest in these three residences back then, right?"
"You guessed it. Recalling a certain dead fat man back then, Tang Ling couldn't help but laugh.
The aroma of wine and tea, accompanied by the poetry of the literati and scholars around them, gradually diffused an elegant atmosphere. Since ancient times, the literati were casual and enthusiastic, and there were many people singing about the wine here, but although they made a loud noise, they did not see any noise, often a song just stopped, and a song resumed, which has a unique and elegant taste.
Just as the sun was about to set, when everyone was singing, a septuagenarian man slowly walked into the three absolute residences under the guidance of several attendants.
This old man is obviously noble, and when he just entered the Three Absolute Residences, those literati who were already a little dissolute suddenly restrained their emotions and saluted him respectfully. The old man was not pretentious, and after nodding to the literati one by one, he sat alone in the other corner of the center under the guidance of the attendants.
A tea boy immediately walked up, respectfully offered a cup of tea to the old man, and then quickly retreated.
Seeing this scene, Tang Ling glanced at the old man again, and understood the details three or four points, and whispered to Yun'er: "There is a big man coming, pay attention to your appearance." ”
"Huh?"
When Yun'er heard Tang Ling's advice, she was still puzzled at first, but when she looked at it, she saw that the literati who were originally singing and chanting poetry had completely restrained their temperament at this moment, and they all sat up one by one, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Who is here?"
Tang Ling only pointed at the old man who had just taken a seat out of the corner of his eye.
"Who's that?"
"I don't know, it should be a certain celebrity, with an extraordinary status, right?" Tang Ling only made a superficial guess.
Yun'er's beautiful eyes blinked: "Why do I feel a little intimate when I see him?"
"Oh?" Tang Ling frowned.
Yun'er's intimacy, this is worth noting.
While Tang Ling and Yun'er were talking, the old man's pastries had also been served. Although this pastry has not been specifically specified, it is obviously more delicate than ordinary pastries, and there are some precious materials in it.
But in the face of such tea and pastries, the old man seemed to have lost his appetite, and he didn't know if it was the reason for the bad mood, he just picked up a piece of pastry, muttered for a long time, and slowly put it down, a long sigh, a mouthful of turbid air blew away the fragrance of tea on the table.
When an attendant who seemed to be over sixty years old but had not seen the slightest bit of scum, he saw that the old man was in a bad mood, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Lord, is this cake unappetizing?" The old slave immediately asked them to prepare another one for you. ”
The old man raised his hand and signaled that he didn't need to: "It's okay, the old man just remembers the daughter who left home to practice since she was a child, the new yuan is coming, and I don't know if this child can come back this year?"
After hearing this, the attendant hurriedly relieved: "When the immortals took away the young lady, they once claimed that they would let the young lady go home to reunite with the lord after thirty years, and this year is the agreed period, I believe that the master will be able to reunite with the young lady's father and daughter in the near future." ”
was relieved, but the old man's deep brows could not be untied, and he sighed again: "I hope so, the old man also feels that the date is coming, and his thoughts are uncertain, so he comes out for a walk, hoping to change his mood." It's just my poor daughter, I don't know how I'm doing now?"
In the middle of a long sigh, suddenly a delicate shadow appeared in the already old eyes, the old man's hand shook, and the tea that was about to be eaten was almost spilled on his hand. That scene of sound and smile made the fatherly friendship in the old man's heart gush out without reservation.
"Could it be...... Is that her?"
Thoughts flashed, and tears were pulled out by an inexplicable expression.
At this moment, Yun'er had already put aside the intimate feeling that had just suddenly risen, and the unique fragrance of the three peerless pastries taught her that she couldn't stop the movements in her hands, and before long, the princess of Fengyun had resumed her unscrupulous movements in the past.
Tang Ling knocked on the table in front of Yun'er, and reminded a little helplessly: "Pay attention to your appearance." ”
"Oh. ”
I have to say that since getting married, Yun'er has indeed changed in some aspects, and after all, she still knows how to leave a little thin face for Tang Ling's husband.
At this moment, a slightly rickety figure came to her and Tang Ling's side, and the old but secretly excited voice sounded, with bursts of excitement: "May I ask this girl, but her surname is Li?"
Yun'er looked up, only to see that the old man, who had just given her a sense of intimacy, had come to them and was looking at her with hope.
Suddenly encountering such a problem, Yun'er was a little overwhelmed for a while, but fortunately, Tang Ling replied in time: "I'm sorry, I'm rude, if you disturb, I hope the old gentleman will forgive me, but the surname is not Li." ”
When the old man heard this, a little disappointment flashed on his face, but then he was relieved: "That's right, this girl doesn't match the person the old man is looking for in terms of age, which is rude to the old man, sorry." ”
The old man's words made Tang Ling's heart move, and he asked: "I take the liberty of going down, may I ask who the old man is looking for?
"Definitely. The wrinkles on the old man's face that had been stretched out shrank again, and with a long sigh, the attendant next to him had moved a chair and stool at this time. I saw that after the rickety body sat down, he sighed again: "The old man was clumsy and mistook this girl for the little girl in the family." The little girl has been away from home since she was a child, and her master promised that she would return home to meet my father and daughter this year. ”
Tang Ling said with a smile: "There are all kinds of things in the world, it is not strange to have similar people, the old gentleman must not blame himself, besides, the daughter master also has a promise, presumably the old gentleman's wish can also be realized in the near future." ”
"Hehe, too. ”
For some reason, Tang Ling's simple sentence made the old man's heart settle. With a little peace of mind, he smiled with relief, glanced at Tang Ling and Yun'er again, and spoke again, the topic had changed: "If the old man didn't guess wrong, the two of them shouldn't be from Chang'an, right?"
"Mountain travelers, the four seas are home, and I just arrived in Chang'an for the first time today. Hearing that the Shangyuan Festival is approaching, the younger generation and Chuang Jing are trying to stay for a few days to see the lantern festival that has been rumored for many years. Tang Ling replied, his gaze swept over the several attendants behind the old man without leaving a trace.
"I see, but unfortunately the two of them came at the wrong time, and this year's lantern festival may not be successful. When the old man heard this, he sighed again, and actually said a news that surprised Tang Lingyun'er.
