496, the past(1/2)
Xiaoxiao was under pressure instead.
So much so that in the subsequent game time, I can’t concentrate.
I can't figure out what I'm thinking - on the surface, I'm a 14-year-old girl, and my soul seems to be influenced by this youth to forget my age. I simply embrace beauty in a girlish manner, longing for love - but I can't completely open myself, there is always a trace of timidity and wandering dragging my back.
It was obviously happy and the other party was suitable, but deep down I didn’t want to confess my thoughts quickly.
Perhaps I hope that the carefree girl's life will be extended for a few more years, or perhaps I feel that there must be an opportunity for love. When the time, place and people are in harmony, it will naturally come naturally.
Even Xiaoxiao disliked his pretentiousness.
Unfortunately, he couldn't help but be afraid that once the relationship changed, Wen Xixiu would no longer be that Wen Xixiu, and Tang Xiaoxiao would no longer be that Tang Xiaoxiao. The two of them inexplicably became vague people sitting on the same boat.
A sigh beside him pulled Xiaoxiao back to reality.
Xizi held a tag in his hand, which read: Gu Hong Mingyao.
Dan Tai Furong said with gratitude: "Fortunately, there is no Ni in this plate! Otherwise, this tag will be ruined."
And the bronze medal with "Ni" written on it has always been placed at Xizi's hand. In her heart, maybe it was a hypocritical plan for the two of them to fight side by side, but now they have to abandon this imaginary partner, but they are hard to give up.
Xiaoxiao was about to comfort her, but she heard Xizi whisper: "It looks good to see how good you are. You are obviously two people who are not destined to be together, but because of the experience of life, it is great to have a boat together through thick and thin."
These words made Xiaoxiao feel that he was in a blessing and did not know how to be blessed.
Everyone has rolled a few rounds of dice, and now the chess pieces have already walked most of the way. Xiaoxiao and Wen Xixiu are always on the same boat, advancing and retreating together, never separated.
At this moment, it was Xiaoxiao's turn again, because every time Wen Xixiu looked at Xiaoxiao, this time Xiaoxiao said, "Come on Wen, I haven't passed four o'clock in the past few times."
Wen Xixiu took the dice and gently scattered it on the chessboard. Another four points, the two of them moved their chess pieces forward in four grids, and a rooster was drawn here, but they didn't know what the purpose was.
"I only know that when a rooster sings, the world is white. If the sun meets a rooster, it will be a great thing. Those stars, moon, frost, and mist will suffer. I just don't know what to do when encountering a rooster in a storm." Dan Tai Furong said and flipped through the book to check it out.
Everyone heard Dan Tai Furong recite: "The wind and rain are like darkness, and the roosters crow. When they see a gentleman, Yunhu is not happy."
It sounds like it's good, but it's bad.
"Since you see a gentleman, Yun Hu is not happy?" Furong repeated these two sentences, "You two are not laughing, but Yun Hu is not happy?"
I smiled and said a word, but I never envied Furong's honesty? In the past, I recognized Mr. Ning and could ignore the fact that she pursued her sister: she started with color, and she was loyal to me. She was incomparable in heaven and earth.
Furong said: "It's a pity that you should be on the four words "Storm is as dark as a sunny as a rain". I'm afraid you will hide for a while. According to the convention, you must not play in three rounds."
Brother Lin rubbed his hands: "That's great, not only should I just let them lead!"
Furong said again: "But the two of them can't sit here, they have to be sent out to do things for us!"
"What do you do?" Xiaoxiao asked.
"This has to be the person closest to you." Furong pointed to the chess piece closest to the rooster, which had the word cloud written on it.
So, Ni Jie said in a calm tone: "The vase is always empty, let's pick some wild chrysanthemums and put them in the bottle."
This requirement is not difficult. Now there are wild chrysanthemums all over the mountains. Xiaoxiao and Wen Xixiu stood up together and listened to Nijie: "You need ten white chrysanthemums, ten golden chrysanthemums, eight red chrysanthemums, eight purple chrysanthemums, eight hibiscus chrysanthemums, six mandarin duck chrysanthemums, and six wormwood chrysanthemums..."
Wen Xixiu:...
"I want six more snow-green chrysanthemums." Ni Jie finished speaking.
Xiaoxiao recalled: "I have recorded it all, let's go."
Xiaoxiao really wants to leave the chessboard, otherwise he will always feel like he is being cheered up by everyone.
Brother Lin asked, "If they can't pick those flowers, will we have to wait after three rounds?"
"We don't have to wait. It's their own loss if we come late." Dan Tai Furong looked at him meaningfully and smiled.
Xiaoxiao couldn't stand the eager gaze of everyone, so he quickly fled the scene with Wen Xixiu.
Everyone threw the two of them behind their heads and continued to play with their own. Ruicai also said, "I just mentioned the snow-green chrysanthemums. Why didn't I see a single one of them all the way up the mountain?"
Xizi also said that he hadn't seen it, and said that the two-color mandarin duck chrysanthemum is also rare.
Ni Jie said lightly: "I only saw one of the snow-green flowers."
Everyone: Hehe...
Brother Lin said indefinitely admiringly: "I wish my sister wise, this has removed two powerful competitors for us!"
Everyone: Hehe...
While everyone smiled, they quickly left the two behind and happily took the dice in their hands to brew a plan to become a god.
The top of the mountain was particularly quiet at this time. The mountain wind brought maple fragrance to blow the tall grass into a blue sea. You can see the undulating mountains like light-colored paintings in the distance.
Xiaoxiao looked at the snow-white figure in front of him, and felt familiar and unfamiliar for a moment, so she made up her mind, abandoned the troubles in her mind, and stared at the pure Wen Xixiu walking in front with a simple Tang Xiaoxiao's gaze.
For a moment, it seemed like I had returned to the scene when I first met him. On an ordinary late spring afternoon, I met Wen Xizi's brother. This person guessed the eight flavors on his body at that time, and later made the popular "Eight-Singings" based on these eight flavors.
When did my friend’s brother have another meaning for me? Xiaoxiao couldn’t explain it clearly. This process was unknowingly, gradually, faintly, and had a meaning that it was just ordinary at that time.
I have heard people talk about love at first sight, which is described as seeing lightning in a sunny day, and that kind of determination is achieved with one blow.
Xiaoxiao looked at Wen Xixiu's clean back, smelled its refreshing smell, and thought that even if he and him were lightning, it would be another artistic conception, just like that... A light thunder fell on thousands of threads in one night, and the clear light was floating and green.
Wen Xixiu slowed down his pace, but he didn't look back, just waiting for Xiaoxiao in his unique way.
Xiaoxiao picked a lilac chrysanthemum beside her feet, took two steps, and walked side by side with Wen Xixiu.
"Along the way, I have not seen snow-green chrysanthemums." Xiaoxiao turned his eyes to look at the person beside him, and then he realized that there were already a few white chrysanthemums in his hand.
"I once saw a cluster of flowers halfway up the mountain. The center of flowers is blue and the petals are snow-green." Wen Xixiu stared at the white chrysanthemum in his hand, looking at its variety like Xirong chrysanthemums. The flowers have a thrilling and beautiful taste, and the taste is particularly fragrant. A cluster of Xirong was planted under his window. Now it seems that the flower is a bit like the people around him.
"I heard from Brother Wen's description that it looks a bit like the blue-eyed chrysanthemum." Xiaoxiao thought of a kind of chrysanthemum in later generations.
"But the eyes and aim?"
Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh at the other party's keenness: "The blue flower heart is indeed a bit like an eye."
Wen Xixiu bent down and picked a few small vermilion chrysanthemums.
"Are Brother Wen still worried about Xizi's affairs?" Xiaoxiao looked at the yellow chrysanthemums by the road, and felt that the color was not brilliant enough, so he didn't pick it.
The two of them were not just completing the task, but rather like they were taking a walk.
There was a simple thatched pavilion in front of me, so the two of them simply entered the pavilion to sit and rest.
"The three-month deadline has been agreed, so there is nothing to worry about." Wen Xixiu mentioned this matter with a mediocre expression. "Xizi doesn't have to worry about this matter. After all, it's the one who has to make a decision. What we have to do is just waiting for a result."
At this time, the picked wild chrysanthemums were scattered on the bamboo table in front of you. Wen Xixiu chose a white and purple flower, and only pinched the length of the head hairpin and placed it in front of Xiaoxiao.
It turned out that I was using my hairpin. Xiaoxiao took off the original golden bell chrysanthemum on her head, and then she had already become half withered. After thinking about it, it was the two flowers that Wen Xixiu chose to match her clothes today.
Xiaoxiao looked at the honey-colored chrysanthemums on Wen Xixiu's head that had also withered, and carefully selected two fresh ones, one white, and the other simply chose vermilion: "Recalling the rose banquet in midsummer last year, Brother Wen, IV, wore a rose in the red dress and lying on the snow."
Wen Xixiu smiled and tied the two chrysanthemums on her head.
Neither of the two thought of wearing a head for each other, as if this action did not fit each other's personality, but instead he was more self-sufficient and more comfortable.
Xiaoxiao was wearing fresh wild chrysanthemums, and for a moment she felt that the fragrance of water was filled with the fragrance of medicine: "I always feel that Brother Wen seems to have something to do. If it weren't for Xizi, I really couldn't think of anything that would make Brother Wen worry."
"Yingyuan is extremely smart." Wen Xixiu's eyes looked at the endless mountains in the distance, as if he was secretly describing the inner thoughts.
Smile and listen quietly.
"Yingyuan still remembers that an ancestor of the Wen family was a genius who made incense and a genius who made incense. He was very talented but had no intention of fame. The businessman didn't even care about it. He even never married a wife in his life. He spent almost all his time on incense." This was the second time Wen Xixiu talked about this person to Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao remembered this incident very clearly: "At that time, the Wen family only sold some rose water from the Great Food Country. Therefore, this father of Xiangni did not understand the preciousness of Xiangqian. He was angry that he was ignorant of his innocence and even wanted to drive him out of the family. Fortunately, his uncle cherished talents and was willing to invest in making incense. In the end, this senior left all the incense recipe he had developed throughout his life to his uncle, and went to the Western Regions by his own family."
Wen Xixiu's mouth curled slightly: "It's rare that Yingyuan remembers it so clearly."
"I remember that Brother Wen mentioned this last time, after I smelled the fragrance from the clouds, it is said that the ancient fragrance was made of this senior." Xiaoxiao remembered very clearly that it was the first time that he saw Wen Zhichong, who was so beautiful that he was soaked in spring. "If I remember correctly, that ancient fragrance has been more than 300 years since today."
"Yingyuan remembers it very well." Wen Xixiu smiled faintly. No wonder people like to deal with smart people, it doesn't have to be laborious at all.
"But I wonder why Brother Wen suddenly mentioned these things?" Xiaoxiao was still puzzled.
Wen Xixiu's smile froze on his face, and he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Zhenyu has always been very interested in this senior, especially those fragrant recipes. Whenever we use one of the scents, he feels like he is a treasure."
Xiaoxiao thoughtfully: "I remember he took away more than twenty ancient recipes. Are they all from this senior?"
Xiaoxiao intentionally said "stealing" as "taken away", and she was unwilling to talk about this matter too much. According to her own opinion, Wen Xixiu always gave Wen Zhichong face. When she mentioned him now, she still called "Zhenyu" like before.
Wen Xixiu nodded: "He didn't know how many ancient prefaces my ancestors left behind. Perhaps, he didn't care about the achievements of other ancestors. What he wanted to take was just everything about Senior Yuan Chang."
Yuan Chang, Xiaoxiao remembered this name. When he entered the basement with Xizi and Wen Xidian, there was a small cabinet with the note with this name posted on it.
"Could this senior Yuan Feng have a connection with Wen Zhichong?"
"I think so too. Therefore, when I was sent to Yunnan to investigate the matter, I focused on asking them to check the Wen family genealogy." Wen Xixiu's eyes reflected into the clear sky, Zhan Qiu became clearer. "From the upward traceability of Zhenyu's generation, their lineage originated from senior Yuan Feng."
"How do you say this? Didn't that senior Yuan Chang never marry a wife in his entire life?"
"This matter is not clearly written in the genealogy. One theory is that the father of senior Yuan Chang cherished his son in his later years and regretted his actions. He adopted the child from other sons' rooms to Yuan Chang. Finally, he left this lineage in the genealogy and also brought incense for Yuan Chang."
As a modern urban person, Xiaoxiao does not understand this clan philosophy passed down from generation to generation. At this moment, he just nodded and listened.
"Another saying is that the son who was adopted by Yuan Chang was actually his illegitimate son outside." Wen Xixiu's expression was calm and he did not frown at all. "In short, Zhenyu probably determined that he was a descendant of Yuan Chang."
"But this cannot be a reason for him to betray the Wen family!" After the victory of Xianglu battles, Xiaoxiao's hatred towards Wen Zhichong was no longer as strong as before, but it was absolutely impossible to forgive the other party.
"He once said that if it weren't for Senior Yuan Chang and the incense recipes he left behind, our Wen family would not have taken the path of incense replenishing. If the Wen family can achieve today's achievements, they should really be offering Senior Yuan Chang as their ancestors." Wen Xixiu said this and actually smiled slightly.
"He has no such vision, so who can he blame me?" Xiaoxiao twitched his lips, "Let's take a step back, even if he took away the things that belonged to his ancestors, he shouldn't have designed to leave us with no way out! Especially when you are not here, this is clearly a conspiracy."
To be continued...
