Ye Zhiqiu got up and went to the room to see his daughter who woke up from crying. Mu Mu followed behind jumping to see her sister.

The husband looked at the nervous wife and said, "It's not your first time to be a father. Naturally, the child is crying because he is hungry. There is a mother to feed her. Why do you worry?"

"Li Ye is different from Xiaoxue...he has never been worried about since he was born. Of course, except for the fact that it was much later when he could speak, I was in a more chaotic mood than now. I just hope that my daughter can be more ordinary."

.”

The master looked at the husband and said softly.

After a moment of silence, he continued: "Parents all want their children to be strong, but at the same time, they also hope that they can live a safe and happy life without experiencing too much suffering."

The teacher looked at him and frowned and said, "Ye'er will suffer more in the future. It can be said that his suffering has not yet begun."

The master sighed slightly and said slowly: "There is nothing we can do about it. This is his life. He is born to be different. Fortunately, he met his husband. Otherwise, we would not know... Both of us are very grateful to you, sir, because

We are unable to teach him, so we can only drag him to the teacher."

The husband said displeased: "What you are saying is all nonsense. He is my apprentice, so I will naturally work hard to teach him well. Is it possible that in the future he will travel around the world and let people know that he has an irresponsible husband?"

Ye Zhiqiu carried Li Xiaoxue to the flower hall. Li Hongxiu moved closer and wanted to reach out to hug her, but felt something was wrong, so he had to lift the small silk scarf covering her.

After eating, Li Xiaoxue opened her eyes and looked at Li Hongxiu, feeling that the person in front of her was familiar yet unfamiliar. After a while, she looked at Li Hongxiu with a grin on her face.

This smile made her feel so maternal that she wished she could give birth to a baby tomorrow.

Mu Mu leaned her head closer, looked at Li Xiaoxue in Ye Zhiqiu's arms, and called her sister softly with her mouth open.

Li Xiaoxue, who heard the voice, opened her eyes and looked at the young lady in front of her, a little confused.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at her and smiled and said: "Is she still a baby now? If you want her to call you sister, you have to wait for another year. It will be almost done by this time next year."

Mu Mu replied with a yes, but her eyes were fixed on Li Xiaoxue.

Li Hongxiu also looked at Li Xiaoxue blankly, reaching out to hug her, but she immediately took it back.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the helpless Li Hongxiu and said with a smile: "She is too young for you to hold. If you like children, hurry up and get married to your husband. Work harder. You can be a mother by this time next year."

Li Hongxiu's face was suddenly stained with two red clouds, and she turned her head to look at the gentleman who was drinking tea with his wife.

When the master saw this, he laughed loudly, clapped his hand and said, "This restaurant is ready-made, you just need to say something, and I will take care of the posting and promotion for you."

The gentleman ignored him, knocked on the table and said, "Even if Hong Xiu and I are going to get married, we will have to wait until the disciples from Tianshan Mountain come down. His contribution to Hong Xiu and I's affairs will be indispensable."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "Why does this involve my Ye'er again? Isn't this a matter between the two of you?"

The Master was silent for a long time, with a look of helplessness on his face.

He said with emotion: "The problem is that if Ye'er hadn't shown so strongly that he could write poetry, Li Hongxiu wouldn't have noticed him. If he didn't notice him, he wouldn't have run into my yard again and again, so much so that I couldn't even take him with me.

He hid in the depths of the Tianshan Mountains. Unexpectedly, Hongxiu was so stubborn that he was unreasonable and chased him all the way up the Tianshan Mountains."

"Tell me, is there a lot of confusion about this matter with Ye'er? He's not here... If you let me go get married, will he scold me for leaving him alone in Tianshan if he finds out about it later?

Hiding in the city and having fun?"

The gentleman looked at the two of them and muttered.

The master didn't pay attention to the expressions of the two of them. He waved his hand and took the initiative to pick up the purple sand and heat tea in the cups of the master and Li Hongxiu.

Shaking his head, he said: "If according to your statement, my son who knows nothing about the world has become your matchmaker, do you think you are going to give our family a big red envelope on the day you get married?

Stop the mouth of this ignorant father like me."

Li Hongxiu smiled and stared at the gentleman with a pair of phoenix eyes.

She said embarrassedly: "Oh my God, what is this? Even that little brat can be our matchmaker. This is what I am willing to do, okay?"

Ye Zhiqiu came over with the child in his arms, pinched Li Hongxiu, and said carelessly: "You are not a shy girl, if it weren't for my Li Ye, you and your husband would still be two bachelors now. How can you talk about your own mother?"

When you get down from the mountain at night, get this matter done right away so that we don't have to worry about you two later."

The north wind was blowing lightly, and the master waved to Ye Zhiqiu, asking her to carry Li Xiaoxue to the back room to get out of the wind. Then he turned around and called Agui to bring the hot pot.

Agui, who was busy in the kitchen, responded and replied: "Just come!"

...

At half past noon, the large round table in the flower hall was filled with hot pot side dishes. According to the method Li Ye taught Ye Zhiqiu, two charcoal stoves were placed on the table.

There are two iron pots, one pot is filled with Sichuan peppercorn butter and spicy soup base, and the other pot is filled with mushroom, Polygonatum odorifera and Ganoderma lucidum soup base brought from Tianshan Mountain.

The antelope meat that Xiao Qing brought back was cut into six plates. Ye Zhiqiu asked Agui to leave two plates for the servants in the kitchen, and there were exactly four plates on the table.

Agui also prepared a lot of bamboo shoot tips, winter melon slices, lotus root slices, tofu, vermicelli, radish, and mushrooms as side dishes.

The husband patted away the urn prepared by the master, and immediately a strong aroma of wine and hot pot spread in the flower hall.

Li Hongxiu poured a full cup for the Master, and the husband poured it for himself, and poured half a cup each for Mu Mu and Xiao Qing.

Mumu stood on the stool and shouted: "I want to put sesame sauce, peanut butter, salt, hot sauce, spices..."

Ye Zhiqiu had a headache, thinking that this little girl wants everything, but when it comes to eating, she reveals her true nature as a foodie.

The master asked everyone to fill up the sauce, pointed to the red antelope meat on the plate and said: "Try the meat brought from the Tianshan Mountains in the night. Mu Mu, Xiaoqing and Madam should eat the bottom of the clear soup pot. Let's try it."

Try the taste of this red soup."

Li Hongxiu raised the wine glass in front of her, looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said: "Sister, if you don't drink, I will drink for you today. Come here two big men, I will drink with you!"

Mu Mu also imitated her and held up a wine glass, ran over and gave Li Hongxiu a gentle tap, then jumped back to sit on her stool.

Xiaoqing was very quiet. She just raised her cup to Jie Hongxiu and her husband, and then she took a small sip.

The master stood up, raised the glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, then looked at the husband without saying anything.

The husband shook his head helplessly, thinking how could he meet a woman who loves drinking so much?

He stood up with some reluctance, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. "I can't drink enough, so I'll drink as you please."

Mu Mu glared at Li Hongxiu, does that mean you have forgotten what I told you? Be careful when drinking in front of your husband, or he will not want you.

Li Hongxiu pretended not to notice, twisted her body and sat down.

He stretched out his hand, picked up a chopstick of antelope meat, and poured it into the hot pot with red soup.

Ye Zhiqiu asked Mumu and Xiaoqing to put meat and vegetables into the bottom of the clear soup pot. Xiaoqing quietly helped put the vegetables.

Only Mu Mu kept chirping. "Xiao Qing, tell me honestly, did my brother treat you to hot pot on the mountain?"

Xiao Qing blushed and said: "Where is it? He just marinated the meat and grilled it to eat. I took a small sip of the wine, and he drank half the cup. The rest of the jar of wine was all drunk by Senior Ape.

.”

"We can't let him be happy alone in the mountain. When the snow melts in spring, I will go up the mountain to find him!" Mu Mu clenched her little fists.

While putting vegetables into the pot, the gentleman looked at Mu Mu and said, "The place where Ye'er is staying is extremely dangerous. Even I can't climb up. With your current state, you can only cry at the foot of the mountain."

Mu Mu didn't believe it and looked at Xiaoqing with her big eyes.

Xiaoqing looked at her appearance, covered her mouth and smiled softly. After a while, she said: "If I couldn't fly, I wouldn't be able to go to that place. I really don't know how Li Ye took Xiaobai to crawl there in the first place.

Going up."

Li Hongxiu drank three glasses of wine with his wife. Since he had not eaten any food, he was so drunk that he could not notice the details of the conversation between Mu Mu and Xiao Qing.

While pouring wine into his mouth, he expressed his sighs about life. He looked at his husband and said: "I really don't know how to live without you..."

The husband had a headache, so he quickly put some pieces of meat into her bowl, as well as some radishes and tofu.

He patted her back and said softly: "No matter how good the wine is, this is not how you drink it. Eat some meat and vegetables first, and then drink it when you are full."

"Hongxiu, look how kind your husband is to you, you can't bully him in the future." Ye Zhiqiu finished picking up the vegetables for the two little girls, then picked up a piece of meat for himself, and brought it to his mouth with the sauce on it.

"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely not bully him. I will only follow him. Wherever he goes, I will go. I will never separate." Li Hongxiu waved to Ye Zhiqiu.

The gentleman looked at the people around him and thought that although he had lived in seclusion in Fengyun City for nearly ten years, he always hid in the Purple Bamboo Courtyard alone and enjoyed the peace and quiet.

I haven’t gone out to socialize as much in ten years as I have in these few months. It seems that no matter whether you are a man or a woman, once you fall in love, you will have worries, and when you have worries, you will have a lot of troubles.

He also thought that his disciples had actually followed the old monks of the Great Buddhist Temple to practice Buddhism very early. The Buddhists practiced themselves and didn’t even pay much attention to worldly affairs, let alone the petty love of these ordinary people?

But it happened that Li Ye was born with a passionate nature. He fell in love with two little girls when he was not very old, and even made a marriage agreement early.

When he went to Tianshan to practice, he met Mu Mu, an eccentric little girl. He didn't know what this little girl thought about Li Ye.

Presumably he will not be able to avoid these worldly troubles in the future. If he cannot seek Buddhahood, he will not be able to seek self-reliance.

Looking at the master who was drinking a small amount of wine, Li Hongxiu who was eating a lot of meat, and Ye Zhiqiu who was greeting the two little girls to eat vegetables with a gentle face, the husband let out a long sigh.

I have been practicing for decades or hundreds of years, and I have always wanted to stay away from the worldly world. I didn't expect that in the end I would let my apprentice drag me into this world of mortals.

At this moment, the husband finally let go of his attachments and accepted his fate.

I thought that following Li Ye around the world, having a gentle and kind-hearted Li Hongxiu by my side would be a great pleasure in life.

It's just that I have a temperament that likes drinking, and I need to discipline it properly when I turn around.

"Sir, eat more of this meat. This is your apprentice's filial piety to you. We have all benefited from you, and we cannot live without you."

Li Hongxiu, who was a little drunk, finally couldn't help praising her man.

Mu Mu drank half a glass of wine and was a little tipsy. He sat at the table, shook his head like Li Ye, and recited a poem loudly:

It's snowing in the evening, so I can have a glass of water.

In an instant, there was a burst of joyful laughter in the flower room.

The wind outside the hall was blowing gently.
