Early the next morning, Li Hui went to Dongli Gate and opened it, so he excused himself and left early. He returned home, picked up a pack of soap, and went to Wuyi Lane to thank his family.
In late spring, the scenery in Wuyi Alley is beautiful. The laughter and laughter can be heard from the courtyards of the wealthy families within the walls on both sides, and the fragrance of flowers lingers in the nose. In the alley, rich people wearing black spring clothes come and go leisurely, with white lips on their faces.
Red, handsome like a beautiful actress on the stage.
After entering Xie's house, a steward led Li Hui to the second entrance. After reporting the situation, a maid came out soon and led Li Hui to the back house.
Li Hui thought to himself: Should he be led into the fourth boudoir and go to Xie Daoyun's residence? That would not be a good idea. He could not enter the inner hall of a wealthy mansion, as he would cause trouble.
The maid led Li Hui around left and right, not meeting many people along the way. The Xie family was too big, and when Li Hui was dizzy and dizzy, the maid finally stopped in front of the hanging flower gate of a small garden at the east end of the third entrance.
Stepped down.
"Sir, my young lady is in the East Garden. Young Master, go in and walk down the path to the right. My young lady is in the Xianyun Pavilion."
Li Hui thanked him and walked in through the hanging flower door. The garden was lined with green trees, luxuriant flowers and trees, and the eyes were full of flowers. It was like entering a botanical garden. There were various types of flowers and trees.
Walking to the right, there is a small bamboo forest. Green bamboos stand beside the road, and a winding path in the middle leads to an invisible place. Li Hui walked slowly on the path among the bamboo forests, feeling the breeze blowing on his face and the rustling of the bamboo forest.
, there is the fragrance of flowers and trees in the air, which is extremely refreshing and comfortable.
While feeling these, Li Hui also felt emotions and admiration in his heart. The Xie family is indeed a wealthy family. The house is just a toilet, but there is a world of its own in the house. The flowers and gardens are so exquisite and the layout is so ingenious. How much manpower and material resources are spent on it.
Think about the lives of the local refugees when you were in Juchao County. Think about the lives of the wealthy families you witnessed after coming to the capital. One is simply in heaven, and the other is simply in hell. The wealthy families of the Jin Dynasty not only controlled power, but also
It is to control huge wealth. This is an extremely unfair world, a world where heaven and hell coexist.
Of course, Li Hui is not so naive that he becomes cynical. This kind of thought just passes by in a flash. There is no fairness in the world. Comparing these things and feeling indignant is actually making him unable to live with himself.
Just when Li Hui's thoughts were flying, he suddenly heard the melodious sound of the piano coming from the bamboo forest ahead.
Li Hui listened carefully, and the sound of the piano was elegant and slow, gentle and quiet, like the breeze and flowing water, and like the softness of the moon at night. Every note slowly floated over, crossing the gaps between the bamboo forests, covering the entire bamboo forest like a clear mist.
Completely infiltrated.
Li Hui stopped and listened to the sound of the piano, and was fascinated for a moment. Amidst the rippling sound of the piano, a woman's voice chanted along with the sound of the piano.
"My destiny was to be far away from the capital, and then I turned around and headed north.
I took a boat ride on the Yellow River and passed by my old residence in Shanyang.
Looking at the desolation of the wilderness, I am almost at the corner of the city.
Walking through the remains of the two sons, experiencing the empty huts in the poor alleys.
I sigh that the millet is leaving, I feel sorry for the Zhou Dynasty, and I feel sad that the wheat is showing up in the Yin Ruins.
But the past is cherished by the present, and the heart is wandering and hesitating.
The building remains but cannot be destroyed, and its form and spirit are gone.
In the past, Li Si suffered a lot and sighed at the yellow dog.
I mourn the death of Ji's life forever, and play the piano while looking at the shadow of the sun.
The consignment is met by understanding, and the remaining life is sent by the shade.
Listen to the generosity of the whistle, and the wonderful sound will be found again.
He stopped driving and said he was about to pass away, so he helped Han and wrote his heartfelt message."
When the chanting ended, the sound of the piano slowly disappeared and finally disappeared, leaving only the rustling sound of the wind blowing into the bamboo forest.
Li Hui was so mesmerized by what he heard that for a moment he felt that there was a stasis in his chest, and he felt tangled in sadness, making it hard for him. After a while, he regained his composure and walked slowly towards the bamboo forest path. There, the path turned around and ended up in a large green bamboo forest.
Under the cover, Li Hui saw a unique octagonal pavilion. On top of the pavilion, a woman in green clothes was sitting facing the piano, meditating quietly.
Two maidservants next to the pavilion saw Li Hui, and one of them quickly reported to the woman in the pavilion. The girl in the pavilion turned her head after receiving the report. Her hair was like mist, her jade face was pure, it was Xie Daoyun.
"Li Hui, I have met Miss Xie." Li Hui stood at the foot of the pavilion and bowed his hands.
Xie Daoyun smiled, returned the gift, and said softly: "Please come and sit in the pavilion, young man from the Li family."
Li Hui bowed in agreement, climbed the steps step by step, and came to the pavilion. Looking up, he saw a horizontal plaque above the pavilion with the words "Xianyun Pavilion" written on it. The font was elegant and dignified, which was very pleasing to the eye.
There is a long table in the pavilion, with a Yao Qin placed on it. A small square table is placed on the north side, and two bamboo chairs are placed next to it. There are two teapots, two teacups and a small square table on the small square table.
A small incense burner with green smoke. Nothing else.
"Young man from the Li family, please sit down." Xie Daoyun smiled and extended his hand.
Li Hui nodded and thanked him, walked over and sat on the bamboo chair next to Fang. Xie Daoyun also sat on the other bamboo chair.
"Does Li Xiaolang drink tea? I have two pots of tea here, which one do you want to drink?" Xie Daoyun asked with a smile.
Li Hui was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Xie Daoyun meant. Is there any difference between the teas of the Jin Dynasty? Aren't they all made with a bunch of condiments and made a weird-tasting tea soup? It tastes extremely bad, without any flavor at all.
Li Hui couldn't feel the difference between good and bad.
Li Hui said with a smile: "Miss Xie, don't be ridiculous. In fact, I can't tell the difference between making tea. Any pot will do. I usually prefer clear tea. The kind that is brewed with tea bricks and boiling water."
.Country people have not seen the world and love to drink tea but little water. It’s funny.”
Xie Daoyun opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "Oh? Do you drink tea? Is it this kind of tea?"
Xie Daoyun stood up, reached out to pick up the celadon teapot, and looked at Li Hui to pour a cup into his cup. The tea was clear and refreshing, with a hint of dark green. A scent of tea wafted out, which was very pleasant.
Li Hui said in surprise: "Huh? How did Miss Xie know that I like to drink this kind of tea? You are really thoughtful."
Xie Daoyun's expression changed and he said with a smile: "I didn't prepare it specially for you. I drink this kind of tea on weekdays. I don't drink it when making tea. This way of drinking it tastes lighter."
Li Hui smiled and said: "That's it. I didn't expect that we are the same people. What a surprise."
Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "It is indeed a bit surprising. I asked you to choose a pot of tea, originally to make a joke with you. If I choose this pot of tea, I may see your surprised look, which will be very interesting. No
Thinking of you, I love drinking tea."
Li Hui laughed. Xie Daoyun has an elegant temperament and generous behavior, but that night Li Hui felt that her personality was not cold and arrogant. In fact, she was very similar to Xie An and Xie Xuan, and she was open-minded and friendly. Now look at it
It turns out that this is indeed the case. I am not familiar with her, but she wants to make a little joke with me. This shows that she is not putting on airs and keeping others away.
"Ms. Xie, your tea is made from broken tea bricks, right? This way of eating actually makes the tea taste much lighter. If you like to drink clear tea, I can give you a suggestion. Break off a piece of tea brick and put it on
In the tea cup, use boiling water to brew directly, and the tea will have a richer flavor." Li Huidao.
Xie Daoyun said: "Oh? Are you eating tea like this? Doesn't that mean you have to drink the tea powder into your mouth? There are also broken tea leaves and so on."
Li Huidao: "There is indeed a problem in this regard, but it can be pushed open with bamboo strips or scratched with a tea lid. The main problem is actually the problem of tea production in Jin Dynasty. The tea leaves are pressed into tea bricks, which makes the tea leaves brittle.
.The method of making real tea leaves requires roasting and kneading the picked tea leaves. After the tea leaves are soaked in water, not only will there be no impurities, but the true color of the tea leaves will be restored, and it will be as green as new in the cup. Such tea will taste more fragrant.
Refreshing. It can be called green tea."
Xie Daoyun nodded slightly, looked at Li Hui with a smile, and said in a manly voice: "I didn't expect you to have such insight and thoughts about tea. The method of making tea you mentioned is interesting, and I really want to
Have a taste of this tea."
Li Hui smiled and said: "Isn't that simple? In early spring next year, I can make a batch and give it to Miss Xie to taste."
Xie Daoyun said: "Why next year?"
Li Huidao: "Tea in early spring has the highest quality. It is more fragrant and more pleasant. After the Qingming Festival, the quality of tea becomes worse. People like Miss Xie should drink the best green tea."
."
Xie Daoyun covered his mouth and said in a deep voice: "The young man from the Li family is really good at talking and has a sweet mouth. You and Xiao Xuan are friends, why don't you teach him how to please others?"
Li Hui laughed and said: "Brother Xie is very good, he is very enthusiastic and straightforward. He is the only one who can teach me. How dare I teach him anything? Besides, isn't it Miss Xie's business to discipline Brother Xie?"
Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "The young man from the Li family is really very sharp-tongued. Dao Yun can't even speak to you."
Li Hui smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I really can't control my mouth sometimes. I'm sorry."
Xie Daoyun shook his head with a smile, stood up slowly, walked to the railing of the pavilion and stood there, looking at the surrounding bamboo forest. Li Hui looked at her profile, and then took a closer look at her clothes. Xie Daoyun was wearing a green skirt today.
, with purple tulle draped over her shoulders. She has a slender figure and a beautiful figure.
Even looking at Xie Daoyun up close now, Li Hui still couldn't believe that she was in her twenties. Judging from her expression and demeanor, she was only around 20 years old at most.
Xie Daoyun looked at the scenery outside the pavilion and asked softly: "I wonder if the young man of the Li family can hear me playing the piano just now?".
